Chapter 1770: Key Person

"The weakness of the Grand Duke of the Secret Society?" Lin Rui and Jiang An were a little strange.

"Yes. Everyone has their weaknesses, even me. You see how they use my daughter against me. That's why I've been carrying my daughter with me for so many years. For this, she lost the childhood that should have belonged to her. Because as my daughter, she first had to learn how to survive. Aladdin sighed, "To this day, I still feel like I owe her. She's my biggest weakness. ”

"Then what do you mean, let's also kidnap the relatives of the Grand Duke of the Secret Society and force him to comply?" Lin Rui hesitated.

"Of course it can't be. On the one hand, we don't even know who the Grand Duke of the Secret Society is, how can we kidnap his relatives? On the other hand, even if we kidnap his closest relatives, he won't blink an eye. Otherwise, he would not be the Grand Duke of the Secret Society. Aladdin smiled.

"I don't believe that if we really arrest someone's relatives, no one should be able to remain indifferent, right?" "He's just a man. ”

"He really is a human being. But there are many kinds of people, and you know who is the most difficult to deal with?" Aladdin said calmly, "there are people of faith, and the Grand Duke of the Secret Society is such a person. When a person has a firm faith, then he can do a lot of things that ordinary people do not think about and understand. He's that kind of person, and that's the kind of person who will be successful. ”

"Don't go far, Mr. Aladdin. I want to know, what do you want us to do. The silver wolf frowned.

"By the time I'm done, you'll know it's not off-topic. Aladdin smiled a little melancholy, "The first thing to do to defeat your enemies is to know your enemies. You're just a military company, and you don't have any secrets to speak of. And the Secret Society, their very existence is a secret. ”

Michelle the silver wolf was silent.

Aladdin continued, "On March 12, 1946, former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill delivered the 'Iron Curtain Speech' in Fulton, USA, officially kicking off the Cold War. At that time, the United States and the Soviet Union were both superpowers in the world, and the two countries and their allies waged a decades-long struggle for world hegemony.

During this period, although the differences and conflicts were serious, both sides tried their best to avoid the outbreak of large-scale wars around the world, and their confrontations were usually carried out through cold methods such as local proxy wars, technological and arms races, space races, and diplomatic competitions, that is, mutual containment and no use of force, so it was called the Cold War.

The war came to an official end with the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact in Prague in 1991. After that, the once mighty Soviet Union ceased to exist. This hurt a lot of people, especially some young people who were enthusiastic and ready to play their part in the US-Soviet hegemony.

These young people thought they could change the world, only to find themselves without that power overnight. They include members of the military and intelligence organizations, as well as young elites who are just beginning to make their mark in a variety of fields. After experiencing pain and self-doubt, they decided to go their own way. Rely on yourself to change the world. ”

"So these people set up the Secret Society?" Shogan hesitated.

"Yes. In 92 in Minsk, Belarus, a total of seventy-six people participated in a secret meeting and decided to establish a secret society. I was one of them. The meeting was held in a top-secret location, via an internal wired telephone, to ensure that secrets were not overheard, and that members did not see each other. That was the first time I came into contact with this man who was known as the Grand Duke of the era. Aladdin said slowly.

"So the members of the Society didn't know each other at that time?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Yes, even the participants in this meeting did not expect the development of the Order to become the huge organization it is today. Except for me and the Grand Duke. From the very beginning, we had a very strong belief and enthusiasm. It was a time of passion. We all dream of being heroes like Guevara and fighting for our ideals. Aladdin chuckled.

He seemed to sink into some kind of nostalgia and muttered, "We have a fairly long-term plan to complete with our lives." Through years of accumulation, we have finally established an ideal country in Africa. And with this as a development, we will promote change in the whole world. ”

Aladdin sighed and said slowly, "Until one day my enthusiasm faded, and I suddenly realized that I had become the kind of person I used to hate the most. Burning youth and desperate ideals are always met with more painful reflections. It's a process of growth for everyone. ”

Lin Rui got up and said, "But that's not what we want to hear. Your heroic past, or write your own memoirs in the future. We just want to know what to do with the Grand Duke of the Secret Society. ”

"Money. Aladdin said calmly. "It's all about money. Over the years, the Society has accumulated a huge amount of funds distributed in hundreds of institutions in more than 20 countries around the world. Some of them are large multinationals and conglomerates, and technology, energy, finance, pharmaceuticals and other industries include the world's most profitable industries.

They are the true cornerstone of the Order, and the Order's unity is built on them. Without strong economic support, everything in the Order is in the air. ”

"You're saying the Archduke's greatest weakness is money. Silver Wolf Michelle frowned.

"Yes, that's the only thing that can restrain him. Aladdin said slowly.

"But according to what you said, there are hundreds of institutions around the world, what can we do with them? rob them one by one?"

"Of course not. But you should also understand that the Grand Duke of the Order never trusts these ostensible agents, they are just puppets in the hands of the Grand Duke of the Secret Society, and in order to prevent these puppets from threatening him. He employs a series of complex management methods, allowing them to check and balance each other, and he personally controls all financial power. Aladdin explained.

"Doing it yourself, is he busy?" said Shogishi with a frown.

"That's the point I'm going to say, he has someone under him who takes care of these things for him. Aladdin smiled and said, "This person is the weakness of the Grand Duke of the Secret Society. Because the Grand Duke of the Secret Society never comes forward in person, he always asks others to do everything in his capacity. ”

"You mean Vasily?" Lin Rui's eyes moved, "The fake Grand Duke Vasily of the Secret Society who pretended to be dead last time. ”

"Yes and no. Aladdin shook his head, "Vasily is just a standard puppet, but he's not an economic professional. It was another person who was in charge of the accounts of the Secret Society. As long as we grasp this key person, we can cause a great shock to the Grand Duke of the Secret Society. It was even enough to blackmail him and order the Red Baron to abandon his current actions. ”
