In the evening, Lin Rui followed Aladdin's men to another hideout. Aladdin does have a knack for intelligence, and this place is very safe. But because of the robbery of Edric, everyone's mood is a little low.

It was a success, but it fell short. Lin Rui didn't know what impact this would have on the war situation in Africa, and after he contacted Silver Wolf Michelle again, Silver Wolf Michelle was also a little surprised, but he had already ordered the Black Panther Guray to evacuate. Even if there are further losses, it shouldn't be too big.

They stayed in Greece for two full weeks, and only then did they offer Aladdin to leave when their guns and sausages were largely wounded.

Aladdin was silent for a while and looked at Lin Rui and said, "What should you do next?"

"I'm going to go back to St. Kaiser Island first. Lin Rui said slowly.

Aladdin nodded, "That's fine." For a short period of time, the secret society will be busy with the war situation in Africa, at least for the time being. You also need such a respite in order to regroup. I'll let Duncan arrange for you to leave. ”

"Thank you. Lin Rui nodded.

"You're welcome, I pulled you in. Aladdin said lightly. "But after this time, I'm afraid we'll all be a thorn in the side of the Order. In Africa, if the Red Baron wants to continue to expand his influence, he will definitely have more conflicts with you. And I, because of this incident, the Grand Duke of the Secret Society will definitely try to get rid of me. ”

"You can also go to St. Kaiser Island if you want, at least there, the Secret Order can't infiltrate it. If we are to deal with the Order's next move, we should be in dire need of your intelligence and advice. After all, you know more about them than many of us. Silver Wolf also once said that your advice will be of great help to us. Lin Rui looked at Aladdin and said.

"Maybe, I'll think about it. But I still have some business to attend to. I'll definitely visit St. Kaiser again when I'm done. Aladdin nodded.

Lin Rui nodded.

After discussion, Lin Rui and the others left Greece the next day and returned to the island of St. Kaiser. After returning to the island, Lin Rui learned that the silver wolf and the black panther Gulei were not there. It should still be dealing with the withdrawal of troops from those countries with civil strife.

After more than a month, the Black Island Company suffered heavy losses, and the mercenaries of the Black Panther Gulei were seriously reduced. The company's contract losses are even more staggering. Coupled with some follow-up matters, the busy Silver Wolf and Black Panther Gulei were overwhelmed.

In the bar on the island, Lin Rui found Angel.

"You're back?" Angel said with a wry smile.

"I'm back, what's the situation here?" Lin Rui said in a low voice.

Angel took out two glasses, poured a glass of wine, and pushed one of them to him on the bar. "It's still the old rule, I'll ask for the first drink!"

Lin Rui took the wine but didn't drink it, just looked at Angel in his hand. "You haven't answered my question yet. ”

"What can I say? We've been in a very serious situation lately, with a couple of serious losses that have ruined several of our big contracts. Coupled with the losses on all fronts, our financial situation is already dire. I'm afraid those of the Black Panther Ghuray will have to scale back as well. Angel shook her head.

"So serious?" Lin Rui frowned.

"There are several defense contracts for African countries, and we have invested a lot of money, and we were able to recover enough profits over several years. But this time, even the government army was wiped out. Not to mention making money, even losing money. Angel shook her head.

"How can this be?" said Lin Rui in surprise.

"Actually, the reason for all this is that we have been spreading too fast in the past two years, and we have spread the stall too big. Moreover, we are overly optimistic about the situation in Africa and lack a sense of crisis. Alas!" Angel sighed, tilted her head and drank the wine.

"Even if that's the case, our contracts in other regions should be able to earn and fall in other regions, right?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Yes, but because of this back-to-back defeat, it has had a big impact on our reputation. In the future, it may be even tougher. Angel said.

"Be optimistic, no matter what, it won't be more difficult than when we first started. At that time, we also had to face the management board, and we had to face threats from Morningstar and other large companies. But now, we have at least established a mercenary alliance and have the right to speak in the industry. The situation is much better than before. Lin Rui patted Angel Dao.

Angel nodded, "Maybe, but there's a bigger problem at the moment." ”

"What's the trouble?" Lin Rui frowned.

"The other companies of the Mercenary Alliance are already preparing to move. You also know that the Mercenary Alliance serves as a business alliance. Other companies want to take control of the alliance in order to get more out of it. They weren't content with just being members of the Alliance, they needed more. Businessmen seek profit, and that's what it is.

And the troubles we are facing now have undoubtedly given them more leverage to oppose us. There are nearly a dozen large companies already banding together to deal with us, and they want to get the Black Island down. You know, they're all the best military companies in the industry. And there is the support of a large consortium behind it. I'm afraid we're going to lose another city in the Alliance. Angel said slowly.

"You mean, Silver Wolf Michelle and Black Panther Gure......" Lin Rui said in surprise.

"Yes, they're working on that at the moment. Angel whispered, "And the situation is not optimistic." Although we are the originators of the alliance, as a business alliance, each company is relatively independent. According to the regulations, if other companies have obtained the support of more than half of the alliance members. They will be able to replace the current alliance dominance of the Black Isle. ”

"In other words, we have even lost the Mercenary Alliance?" Lin Rui frowned.

"It's not that serious, it's just that you will lose some control of the Alliance Show. But in this case, it is not good for us. In other words, we used to cut the cake with a knife and divide the cake. Because we originally accounted for at least 60 percent of Africa's share of military contracts, we had the final say. And now, we're sitting down waiting for someone else to share the cake. Angel sighed.

Lin Rui was silent for a while and said, "What about the Black Panther Gulei, he has a very good relationship with African countries, can he take advantage of it?"

"I'm afraid not, this world is very practical. In our current situation, the influence of the black panther Guray and the silver wolf is only afraid to be greatly reduced, and it is not too convincing. That's what I'm worried about. Angel whispered.
