Mountain Eagle gained control over the pace of his speech by intentionally creating a silence...
Among those present are the elite of the elite, all of them proud and high-spirited, but absolutely none of them could utter the words to give up their benefits.
Because it’s what they deserve, and it’s also the source of Arctic Fox’s cohesion and sense of honor!
Only such a team is worth their blood and sacrifice!
Whenever Arctic Fox encounters other mercenaries, they’re always a cut above, for the same reason!
To give up benefits would be a denial of the Arctic Fox system and a betrayal to their families, something these active-duty Arctic Foxes could never do!
The tone of Mountain Eagle’s speech made everyone slightly uncomfortable, yet effectively garnered their attention.
Seeing that everyone had finally settled down completely, Mountain Eagle nodded toward Zorn on the side...
Zorn, a bit nervous, plugged the USB drive that Mountain Eagle had given him beforehand into a laptop, opened the contents and handed the laptop over to Mountain Eagle.
Then Zorn turned on the large LCD TV, broadcast the laptop’s content on the TV, and, realizing his place, left the room, leaving it to the members of Arctic Fox...
Actually, the content of the USB drive was a PPT. Mountain Eagle had spent a lot of time organizing the data provided by Blood Fox and created an incomplete management plan.
The first image that appeared on the TV caused a stir among the Arctic Foxes present...
It was seven photos, including Blood Fox, Mi Lu, Eddie, Camel, and three other old men...
"You should know them; they are the retired members of Arctic Fox, or used to be. But the next people you probably don’t recognize..."
As he spoke, Mountain Eagle switched the image, and 15 photographs appeared on the screen, including the disabled Arctic Fox Pangolin that Mountain Eagle met in the Golden Triangle and the wheelchair-bound old man from the Moscow Red Square Restaurant...
"These are Arctic Fox’s wounded and disabled veterans, 15 of them. Actually, there should be more, but the others have passed away..."
Mountain Eagle again switched images, this time a dense photo wall on the screen caused a stir among the Arctic Foxes...
Mountain Eagle patiently waited a few minutes and then spoke solemnly, "105, Arctic Fox has lost 105 outstanding soldiers over more than two decades of combat."
Saying this, Mountain Eagle observed the Arctic Foxes in front of him show heavy expressions, and he switched images again...
Then, pointing to a chart on the image, he said: "I am showing you this, not to warn you of the dangers of this line of work, but to tell you why Arctic Fox is unique!
Look at this number, 512, do you know what it represents?"
Mountain Eagle looked at the Arctic Foxes whose expressions had grown heavier and, with an open hand, said: "512 represents the number of spouses and their offspring of those who have sacrificed.
Some descendants of the Arctic Fox have come of age...
That is, the grandchildren of the sacrificed Arctic Foxes have grown up, like Great White Shark Sophia..."
As he spoke, Mountain Eagle gestured toward Sofia, who was leaning against a restaurant table, observing everyone...
"Sofia’s grandfather was a member of the first generation of Arctic Fox. His family didn’t prosper well, but they never lacked money, so Blood Fox rarely paid attention to them.
But when Sofia’s generation faced a life and death crisis, according to the Blood Oath’s requirement, Arctic Fox still had an obligation to step forward.
Look at Marta, her grandfather was also part of the first generation of Arctic Fox; her parents were killed by a gang, and a girl whose life could have been decent became an orphan.
According to the Blood Oath of Arctic Fox, Marta is still someone who needs care!
Many similar issues have occurred, but in the past, it was Blood Fox and Mi Lu who were busy dealing with them, of course, Eddie, Camel, and other retired Arctic Foxes also provided a lot of help."
Mountain Eagle, seeing the increasingly somber expressions on the Arctic Foxes’ faces, shook his head and said: "I’m not telling you this to complain, but to tell you that the 10% deducted from your commission each year after completing missions is meaningful!
But this is far from enough!"
When everyone was silent, Bull Head suddenly raised his hand and said: "What do you mean? Asking us to contribute more?
I have many kids, and if I died someday, I’d want my family to get comprehensive care, and I’d be willing to contribute more money."
Mountain Eagle, seeing everyone actually nodding, shook his head and said: "You should be thinking of surviving until you can retire smoothly, saving enough money, and then fulfilling your responsibilities.
How much money could you few ’green onions’ possibly contribute, even if you paid an additional 10% each year?
The starting commission for Arctic Fox on the International Intermediary Company website is 800,000. How many high-value jobs worth over a million can you take on every year?
10% of 10 million is just 1 million. Is another hundred thousand enough?"
As he spoke, Mountain Eagle pointed to the chart on the TV screen and said: "Take note of this figure...
8.95 million US dollars!
That’s the average annual expenditure of Arctic Fox logistics over the past ten years...
The descendants of those Arctic Foxes lost fathers, and some of them needed to study, some to do business, some families faced major disruptions requiring help, and others experienced loss, confusion, rebellion, degeneration, illness, crimes...
All these require time and money to mend, and these are responsibilities that we should bear."
