Chapter 202: International War
"So, we can just sit back and go on with our leisure life?" said Yelena, shaking her head, "I don't care. As long as there is still alcohol to drink, I don't mind resting more. ”
Lin Rui smiled and said, "We definitely won't sit still." ”
Yelena sneered, "You know again?"
"Of course I do. Lin Rui looked at her and said, "Otherwise, let's make a bet." ”
"Bet on what?" Yelena frowned slightly.
"If we still don't get the order of the mission after five minutes, even if I lose, or not, you lose. Lin Rui said lightly.
Yelena sneered, "What a big tone. But how much are you going to bet?"
Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "It's not easy for everyone's money to be earned by licking blood with a knife." So gambling hurts feelings. Why don't we change the bet. ”
"If you don't gamble, what are you betting?" said Yelena, frowning.
Lin Rui blinked and said, "The loser has to promise the winner one thing, it can be anything." ”
"Be careful, Yelena. This kid is very bad. Zhao Jianfei laughed.
"Good!" said Yelena with a shrug, "if you lose, go there and belly dance, and of course put on their costumes." She gestured casually.
Zhao Jianfei followed her fingers and saw that she was referring to the stage in the middle of the bar, where two almost half-naked girls were holding steel pipes, scratching their heads and showing off their body curves to their heart's content.
"Poof!" Zhao Jianfei almost squirted out in a sip of wine. He really couldn't imagine what it would be like for Lin Rui to dance there in a bikini. It would be easier to let him dance than to let him charge into battle on the battlefield. It's really a shame that Yelena can figure it out.
"Hmph, what if I win?" Lin Rui glared at Yelena and said.
"Then you can make a request to me, and I will do it. Do you dare to bet?" Yelena sneered.
Lin Rui deliberately smiled sneeringly, "Any request can be met, are you sure you won't regret it?" The mercenaries around him were also attracted by their peculiar gamble, "Wow, any request can be met, can that also be satisfied?" erupted into a burst of presumptuous laughter, and countless sharp whistles.
Yelena said lightly, "It's only three minutes now." If you feel that the risk is too great and you don't want to gamble, you can do that. But all the drinks consumed in this bar today are up to you. ”
Lin Ruihan came down and said with difficulty, "How much does this cost?"
"I guess the bonus from the last mission is gone. Zhao Jianfei shrugged. "These brutes don't even die when they drink alcohol. ”
"I bet!" Lin Rui said without hesitation, "Lao Tzu would rather go on stage to pole dance, and he would not have to make such unjust money." ”
Zhao Jianfei was speechless for a while, shook his head and said, "Okay, then I'm ready to watch the show." ”
At this time, Lin Rui whispered to Yelena, "Look over there, you will know that you have lost." ”
"Look...... That side?" Yelena said in amazement, but she looked over and saw that it was the shogan.
"Whether you believe it or not, Shogishi, a tech nerd, rarely comes to the bar at this time. And he usually came to the bar at this time for only one reason, to find Zhao Jianfei. And the reason why he is so anxious to find Zhao Jianfei is still to use me to explain?" Lin Rui said with a wink.
Yelena didn't have time to speak. Jiang'an had already squeezed over and whispered in Zhao Jianfei's ear.
Zhao Jianfei's expression moved slightly, and he waved his hand, "Lin Rui won, but this matter ends here." We have more important things to do. He raised his hand and whistled sharply, "XCOM, assemble." Ivan, and those two boys. Come back with me. ”
The mercenaries let out a sound of annoyance and turned back to drink their wines. Zhao Jianfei quickly returned to the camp with the members of the XCOM team. In the pre-war conference room in that separate small building, Zhao Jianfei said calmly, "I believe everyone already knows about the situation of the African Branch. I won't hide it from you, the division plans to cooperate with the Harlot government forces in a full-scale counterattack at the end of the month. The battle is about the position of Morningstar Military Security in Africa. ”
"If it succeeds, it will have a great deterrent effect in the international mercenary community. It proves that Morningstar is still the largest and most powerful mercenary company in Africa. Otherwise, we will lose our advantage and quickly become a second-rate mercenary company. This means that most African countries will lose their military defense contracts. Zhao Jianfei said slowly, "This world is so cruel, the gap between first-class and second-rate is huge. ”
"Boss Zhao, just say it directly, what do you need us to do?" Ivan frowned.
"As a result of the deliberate division of the Panther, it collapsed. The rebels of the Free Liberation Alliance, this time it can be said that they lost before the war. Without the support of other warlords, General Dunby was already slightly weaker. And if these warlords turn against each other again, it can be said that his defeat is certain. "We can see this, and so can the members of the Order. According to intelligence, they have decided to give up on supporting General Dunby. ”
"The Secret Society is ready to give up Dunby, doesn't that mean that we have already won?" Qin Fen's eyes lit up.
"You're thinking too simply. General Dunby was one of the main warlords of Santujak, which is why the Secret Order asked him to start the war. As soon as he fails, the Order will immediately find another agent. The Secret Society is different from us, we work for our employers. And they, the so-called employers, are nothing more than puppets on the table. All the practical benefits will eventually fall into their hands. "Shogan said slowly.
Zhao Jianfei sneered, "If the mercenary company is a bunch of warmongers, then the secret society is a vampire in the war. They usually incite local warlords to wage war and then ostensibly act as their hired helpers. In fact, they are secretly manipulating, and both sides of the war will be greatly damaged by the war, and they will make a windfall. Both the government and the rebels are actually losers in this war. Even if you ostensibly control the country, you only get a mess. Only then will they walk with their butts patted on their backs. ”
"So Santujak hasn't been squeezed dry yet, and they're not going to give up. However, General Dunby is already like this, and even the Secret Society is not optimistic about him. What else can they do to prop up other forces? The other petty warlords are not even as strong as General Dunby. Lin Rui frowned.
"That's what we're trying to do. Zhao Jianfei said slowly, "This time, the Secret Society gave up Dunby and found the armed forces outside Santuyak. It was a war at home in Santuyak before, and this time they wanted to play bigger. ”
"International war!" They instigated Santujac's neighbors to take advantage of the chaos to invade. Lin Rui said in surprise
