Chapter 1167: Living and Dying Together
The man was silent for a while, then nodded, "Mr. Shogishi, your abilities are really impressive. In such a situation, he can still observe calmly and judge calmly. Tell me, what else do you see?"
Jiang An smiled slightly, "Not only am I calm and composed, but my aesthetics are also first-class." For example, the suit you're wearing, if I'm not mistaken, should have been handmade from Savile Row in London's West End. This shows that you are very rich and have a lot of taste. ”
Savile Row, commonly known as Tailor Street, is an alley in central London. It has a history of almost 200 years. The shops on the street are all time-honored brands, mainly handmade zuò men's clothing, and there are 26 of them that are well-known in the industry. Each store is named after the founder.
Every piece of clothing there is handmade, and at the same time it is prohibitively expensive. In the upper class of the West, if anyone could make clothes in Tailor Street, it was a symbol of status and wealth.
The man smiled slightly and nodded, "I can't imagine that a mercenary has such a study of fashion." ”
"We don't have to hide it, Mr. Vasily. Shogishi sighed and said, "I have long guessed that the man who was killed at St. Mary's Stadium was just a stand-in. ”
The man with his back to the general finally turned around, and sure enough, it was Vasily, who had already been "killed" at St. Mary's Stadium.
Vasily frowned slightly, "When did you guess?"
"After hearing about the hijacking of the Zumwalt-class destroyer. "Shogan said slowly. "I was still in the hospital at the time, but the news was still not blocked, and many things immediately turned my original doubts into enlightenment. The so-called high-level meeting of the Secret Society, and your appearance are just to attract the attention of the British ** Six.
While they were focusing all their energy on you, your men orchestrated a mutiny at the naval base and seized the Zumwalt-class destroyers that the U.S. forces were moored at the base. This plan is very thorough, and as the Grand Duke of the Secret Society, it is naturally impossible for you to take risks yourself. And you need a shot illusion to let the British let their guard down. ”
"So you guessed that the man who was killed was a stand-in?" said Vasily with a slight smile.
"Actually, it's not hard to guess. As a wealthy Russian, you are usually very unassuming, and you don't even leave a few clear and useful photos. Modern plastic surgery technology can easily turn two people who are originally somewhat similar to each other very similar. It's not hard for you to find a stand-in. ”
"Of course, most of the information you get from the British intelligence services has been carefully selected. For example, the fingerprints and DNA samples they collected with a lot of effort were completely the stand-ins.
Therefore, the British could be sure that the person who was killed was Vasily at the first time, but they did not know that the so-called Vasily was just a stand-in for the Grand Duke of the Secret Society. Even I must say that it was wonderful. ”
"Aside from the final defeat, we shouldn't have brought back the Zumwalt-class destroyers intact. But you know, it would be too difficult for us to break down such a big ship at sea, especially under the satellite surveillance of the United Kingdom and the United States. Vasily shrugged.
"So you scavenged the ship for useful information, but in the end you were able to recapture the ship. Shogan smiled slightly.
"yes, that's a pity. Still, I'm really annoyed. Do you know how much money I spent on this?" said Vasily with a shrug, "I suddenly want to kill you again. ”
"But you won't, if you did try to kill me, I would have been lying in a body bag. "Shogishi said calmly.
"That's right. Vasily nodded, "I changed my mind because I thought maybe we could come to an understanding." I know that you were only hired for the task, not against me. But in fact, the existence of your Black Island Company has already affected my business. ”
"So what?" said Shogishi as he looked at him mockingly.
"I'm thinking, since it's just to make money, why don't you take on a private job for yourself?" Vasily blinked, "You are a smart person, and you can only be a cannon fodder who works with the Black Island Company." It's better to cooperate with me and get rid of those high-level executives of the Black Island Company. As long as you get rid of a few leaders, then with your ability, you can completely control the Black Island Company and become the boss yourself. ”
"You want to buy me the way you bought those British soldiers?" Shogishi sneered.
"Actually, each of us has a price. Often, there is no one who can't be bought, but the price doesn't reach the acceptable range. Besides, being able to be bought shows that the person has the value of being bought. Vasily laughed and said, "It's like a pretty girl." Because she's beautiful enough to be stared at. ”
"It does make a lot of sense. Shogan said lightly, "But I never take personal work." I'm a mercenary, a master who can sell my life for money, and of course I'm not a good person who is loyal, filial, and righteous. But I have my own principles. ”
"And what are your principles?" said Vasily with a frown.
"The virtue of a meal will be repaid, and the grievances of the eyes will be repaid. Shogishi smiled calmly. "In the most difficult years of my life, it was the silver wolf that gave me the opportunity. I will never betray someone because he is bidding more, and at the same time, the guy who beat me up had better remember that one day in the future, I will make him regret his life. ”
The smile on Vasily's face did not change, "Are you so sure?"
"Absolutely. "Shogishi said coldly.
"Well, do you know, just after you were caught by us. What are Silver Wolves and Dragon Noon doing at the moment?" Vasily sneered, "They are gathering the other mercenary companies to gather on St. Kaiser Island. Cheering for their international mercenary alliance, they are full of energy to compete with the Military Career Management Council. They don't care if you live or die. ”
"There are priorities and I believe they made the right choice. And I'm sure they're not going to let me go. Shogan smiled slightly, "Vasily, do you know what real trust is?"
Vasily looked at him in silence.
"True trust is one that doesn't have to be proven by a single word. Because trust is trust. Shogishi sighed and said, "We are mercenaries, but that doesn't mean we're emotionless fighters." We are human beings, we are men. The highest trust between men is that there is no need for any commitment. Because we go through the test of blood and fire together, we live together and die together. ”
