In order to rescue Cheng Lu and them as soon as possible, Lan Ying divided her troops into two ways, she and Zhang Bin stayed to attract the enemy's attention, and the others made a detour to the Meike Copper Mine.

"Blue team, why didn't they rush up, only a few died, are they scared?"

In an office building, a young man in his early twenties, armed with a sniper rifle, surveyed the street below through an eyepiece and complained to a short-haired woman in an khaki combat uniform next to him.

The short-haired woman was lying next to the young man, holding a telescope in her hand and looking at the opposite side through the floor-to-ceiling window of the office building.

They were Lan Ying and Zhang Bin who stayed, Lan Ying only glanced at Zhang Bin and continued her movements, but her mouth instructed:

"Xiaobin, you can't have the mind of underestimating the enemy, this is a battlefield, not acting, a trace of carelessness and pride can cost your life, our enemies are internationally famous mercenaries, all of them are retired from the top special forces of the Empire, and their combat quality is not much worse than ours.

The reason why we were able to achieve such results before was that we had an ambush at the beginning, and second, they didn't expect the two of us to get into their lair. ”

It turned out that when the 8 members of the Snow Eagle Special Service Team came to the outside of the urban area of Goss City, the teammates in charge of reconnaissance found that there was an unknown armed force, and the Snow Eagle Special Service Team was in a foreign country, so they naturally attached great importance to it, Lan Ying ordered the team members to avoid them as much as possible, while letting people secretly observe their every move.

By comparing it with the database of the portable computer, the Snow Eagle Special Service Team quickly determined the identity of this armed force, which is as famous as the Raptor Mercenary Group, but it is much more mysterious than the Raptor Mercenary Group, mainly because few people know who the organizer behind them is, only that it should be related to the Empire on which the sun never sets.

This mercenary group generally operates in the southern part of the Desert Continent, and I don't know why they came to Essezanlia, which made Lan Ying have a bad premonition in her heart, she faintly felt that it was related to Cheng Lu and them, and asked her teammates who were monitoring them to pay attention to their every move, and at the same time, she quickened her pace.

Lan Ying's guess was correct, but Devon Bell and his gang were not going to go to Gauss City for Cheng Lu, but were entrusted by Pietro Buendia, the deputy general manager of the Meco Copper Mine, to protect him from reaching the Sunset Empire with the diamonds, and to help him seize the diamonds in the hands of the Chinese people.

It turned out that after the outbreak of the civil war in Ethiopia, the two largest shareholders of Meko Copper Mine agreed to abandon Meko Copper Mine in order to reduce losses. In the process of asset inventory, the senior management of Meike Copper Mine released the wind that the property rights of the copper mine were about to be sold, but now that the war is in chaos, they did not think that anyone would take over.

At this time, Daniel evacuated with the main force of the Qinghong Gang, leaving only some people to watch the scene in his diamond mine, and the leader of the Snake Gang, Cotuni, was also ready to run away, but in the end, he wanted to do the next big thing, one was to vent his grievances in the past few years, and to see if he could make some extra money.

Cotuni mobilized the Snake Gang to take the diamond mine of the Qinghong Gang, but the diamond Daniel dug up in the mine had been taken away, leaving only a few rough stones with poor quality, which had not yet been cut.

He came to the mine and had all the stockpile of explosives from the diamond mine be removed, and a destructive blasting was carried out. However, this time Cotuni took a shit luck and blew up a group of diamonds, and some of them were black diamonds.

Cotuni forced the remaining workers of the diamond mine to cut them overnight, and finally got seventeen black diamonds and a few diamonds of good color, which gave Cotuni, who was about to flee immediately, another idea, he knew that the current situation in Ezezandia was that diamonds could not be of any value in his hands.

Kotuni's first thought was to acquire a large amount of assets, and he was a native of Essezanlia who would recognize his assets regardless of whether the government forces succeeded in counterinsurgency or the coalition forces took power.

Because there have been several civil strife and two regime changes in Ethiopia before, but the old and new governments will recognize the assets in the hands of the previous people in order to maintain stability and promote economic recovery after turmoil, but foreign capital is not guaranteed, which is also the reason why the investors of the Meko copper mine sold their property rights, which is a lesson from the past.

At this time, Cotuni heard the information about the sale of Meco Copper Mineral Rights, which is a cornucopia in peacetime, and Cotuni immediately contacted people from Meco Copper Mine, and the investors of Meco Copper Mine were also actively docking.

In the process of negotiation between the two sides, Cotuni tried to lower the value of the copper mine, although the investors of the Meco copper mine were aggrieved, but there was nothing they could do, when they learned that Cotuni paid the bill with diamonds, instead of cash, the investors of the Meco copper mine also retaliated and severely weakened the price of the diamonds.

After the back and forth on both sides, in the end, Cotuni only left an ordinary diamond in his hand, but the thought that he could become a mining tycoon in the future, the heartache of the diamond being lost was reduced a lot, and he was a little nervous.

Three days before Zhao Lifan left his rented courtyard and moved into the Meco copper mine, Cotuni handed over the diamonds agreed upon by both parties, and when Pietro Buendia, who was the investor of the sunset, saw the seventeen black diamonds that Cotuni pushed in front of him, his face changed greatly.

Next, when the investors of Huaguo and Sunset distributed the diamonds according to the proportion of investment, Pietro Buendía tried his best to fight for black diamonds, and even gave up a lot of benefits, and finally let Pietro get ten black diamonds, and Huaguo took seven.

The reason why Pietro cares so much about black diamonds is because his uncle had saved a doctor of physics who had been hunted down when he was doing business in the Republic of Sophia, and learned from him the secret of the American arms tycoon Snake Rod's research on black diamonds, and also obtained a lot of research materials on these diamonds from the doctor of physics.

However, the doctor told Pietro Buendía that these diamonds were rare, that there were not many found in the world, and that almost all of them were in the possession of the Snake Wand, and that Daniel of the Crimson had not yet unearthed black diamonds from his diamond mines.

So at that time, Petro Buendía was full of regret to put these research materials on the shelf, but now he has seen seventeen black diamonds at one time, which is equivalent to seventeen small nuclear power plants.

Petro tried his best, but the representative of Huaguo was not stupid, after seeing his desire for black diamonds, although he didn't know the role of black diamonds, but in the end he didn't let go after insisting on seven, Pietro was afraid of arousing more suspicion, so he had to give up temporarily.

Pietro Buendia immediately asked the family to contact Devin Bell after returning and asked his mercenary group to rush over, the two sides have worked together several times, Devin Bell readily agreed, as long as there was enough pay, Devin Bell didn't care much about what he did.

Petro plans to borrow the hands of the mercenary group to recapture the seven diamonds in the hands of the Chinese collaborators, and the possible benefits of the black diamonds have made him extinguish all his friendship and conscience, which may be the essence of the capitalist, and he was afraid of causing trouble if he didn't let the Golden Shield Guard go to find out about Cheng Lu's news.

However, the plan that had been going well was changed due to Devin Bell's gaffe and breach of contract, and after Devin Bell's mercenary group arrived in Gauss City, they did not know what had happened, and they were stationed in Gauss City and did not leave, mysteriously not knowing what they were doing, and did not pay attention to Pietro Buendia's repeated urgings.

Seeing that the inventory of the Meco copper mine was about to end, Pietro Buendía knew that Devin Bell could not count on him, so he turned his attention to Cotuni of the Snake Gang.

Originally, when Cotuni heard that he was going to take someone to rob the Chinese, his head shook like a rattle, he was not stupid, he had just obtained the property rights of the Meiko Copper Mine, and he was ready to do a big job, how could he offend the Chinese.

However, since Pietro Buendía had already inquired about him, he told Cotuni that he had stolen the diamonds from the Crimson Gang when he bought the Meco Copper Mine, and that the Crimson would not give up when the war was over.

But as long as Cotuni agrees to his request, Pietro will provide Cotuni with a large number of weapons, especially heavy weapons, to gain a chance in this war and allow him to gain a foothold in the city of Gauss.

Although the Snake Gang has a lot of people and some weapons, it is still too far to fish in troubled waters in the war, but with a large number of weapons, the situation is different, Cotuni can recruit troops on the spot, pull up the army, as long as he follows the winning side at the last time, his identity will change immediately.

Petro also promised Cotuni that they would provide him with timely information so that he could grasp the details of the war, and mediate after the war to make Cotuni the mayor of Gauss.

This is not Petro deceiving Cotuni, but his real thoughts, if he can support a mayor, it will be much easier for them to act in Gauss City in the future, although according to his understanding of the blue and red gang's diamond mines are unlikely to produce black diamonds again, but in case, it is still necessary to lay out in advance, and he is even glad for Devin Bell's default.

However, Cotuni's careful thinking disrupted Pietro Buendia's plans again, until Devin Bell told him that Hua had sent the most mysterious Ninth Army, and Devin Bell promised to help Pietro delay for a while as compensation for the breach of contract.

Pyro rushed to the Meiko Copper Mine overnight to supervise the battle, but this also gave Zhao Lifan, who carried out the beheading operation, a chance to discover the truth of the matter and catch them all.

That's the cause and effect of the incident, not to mention why Devon Bell was stationed in Gauss City, when Lan Ying and the others found out that this mercenary had set up a card to search, they knew that things were a little troublesome, and it was at this time that the members of the Snow Eagle team who were in charge of tracking were discovered by the opponent's drone.

Lan Ying made a plan and hit Devin Bell's mercenaries in an ambush, taking more than a dozen of their lives, and the mercenaries seemed to know the identity of the Snow Eagle Special Service Team, and began to avoid confrontation with them, holding them back in the form of guerrilla fighting.

After more than a dozen firefights, Lan Ying also realized that she had encountered a difficult opponent, she immediately made a decision, she took the sharpshooter Zhang Bin into the enemy's activity area, took the initiative to attack, and caught the mercenaries off guard with fierce firepower, which also attracted their attention, and the remaining team members took the opportunity to shake off the entanglement and go to the rescue of Mekofil Town.

Zhang Bin, who was lying on the ground and was always on guard, admired his captain Lan Ying, the eldest sister, and always regarded her as his idol, and even had an inexplicable complex, hearing the captain's words, Zhang Bin was still a little disdainful in his heart, and just as he was about to reply to her, he saw Lan Ying turn to him and compare a "shhh!" to him! gestures, then tilt your ears to listen outward.
