Chapter 104: Be an Apprentice

Since the late sixties of the twentieth century, people in some parts of New York have often seen a crazy old man walking down the street in a bathrobe in broad daylight, muttering something in his mouth.

The agents who monitored Gigant found that he lived a very regular life, coming out of his mother's house as soon as it was dark every day, wearing a yukata or pajamas, followed by one or two bodyguards. He first came to a club, which was his home base, where he played cards and talked to his henchmen. After midnight, he returned to his wife's home in the city center, changed into decent clothes, and continued to talk to his subordinates, or watch television and go to bed. The next morning, he changed into torn clothes and returned to his mother's house.

On one occasion, FBI agents went to Gigant's home to summon him and found him standing under a shower in a tattered bathrobe and an umbrella. Since then, he has earned nicknames such as "Crazy Daddy" and "Pajama Monster", and his popularity is far greater than that given by his mother in childhood.

In order to prove that he was really stupid, instead of pretending to be lacking in heart, Gigant also bribed a psychiatrist to diagnose himself as having an IQ of less than 70 and suffering from schizophrenia.

However, although Gigant acts with the outside world, he is not sloppy with the insiders. He asked his men not to call him by his first name when referring to him, but to touch his chin or write a letter C in the air.

It was in this situation that Gigant secretly led the Jevenose mafia to "make great achievements", and even influenced the entire New York gang.

Later, the police finally gathered enough evidence to take Gigant to court, where he was sentenced to 12 years in prison on charges of extortion, conspiracy to kill an accomplice, and obstruction of justice. He continued to pretend to be crazy and stupid after he was imprisoned, and controlled the Jevenose mafia.

Later, the police uncovered his trick through the tapped-on phone recordings, because he was clear and coherent in his language when he called his subordinates.

At this time, Gigant was also very tired of pretending to be crazy and stupid for decades, probably worried that he would eventually do the fake show, so he frankly admitted that he was pretending to be crazy, and was sentenced to 3 years in prison for this.

Gigant did nothing after that, until he died of a heart attack.

"Don't say it......" Tang Yun looked at Pang Jindong and said with a smile: "If you are the boss of the underworld, this trick is really suitable for you!"

"Die!" Pang Jindong smiled mockingly, and told Tang Yun: "I never plan to enter the underworld in my life, because I hate these people!"

"Pang Jindong ......" Tang Yun suddenly put away his smile and asked word by word: "What do you think is the best way to deal with the person you hate the most?"

"Destroy them completely, both physically and mentally!"

"No!" Tang Yun shook his head slowly, and said in a tone of lesson: "The best way to deal with the people you hate the most is to become their rulers and let them serve you!"

In front of Tang Yun, Pang Jindong's scheming in some aspects is simple, and the two of them are very clear about this in their hearts. Tang Yun often used a condescending posture to teach Pang Jindong that he should do this, or do that. But the tone is not annoying, but it looks like it is a bit earnest.

Pang Jindong shrugged his shoulders and asked Tang Yun helplessly: "Please don't treat me like a little brother when you speak!"

"Little brother?" Tang Yun smiled ambiguously and quipped: "I really hope that the part of your body called little brother is strong enough and not as weak as yourself!"

Pang Jindong knew that he was speechless, coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, and said: "Even if what you say is very reasonable, but I can't do it, it's not because of weakness, but because I don't have such an opportunity!"

"The opportunity is now here......

"I know what you want to say, the territory of the Collobo mafia has been taken over by the Big Circle Gang, there was an agreement before this matter, you better not persuade me to make up your mind!"

"Who said the Kolobo mafia? I'm talking about the Russian gangsters!"

Pang Jindong was stunned when he heard this, this incident was another negligence in this plan. Although it can't be regarded as a loophole, Pang Jindong did not consider it before.

The scale of the Russian gang is not fighting, and after losing the two bosses of the bald guy and the red wolf one after another, as well as several members, the rest of the people can no longer effectively make the organization function, and the whole gang is now crumbling. What will happen next is completely conceivable, the Russians will fight internally in order to compete for the position of boss, consume the last bit of strength, and then the entire Russian gang will exist in name only, and the territory and business will be taken over by other gangs.

Tang Yun's meaning was obvious, and Pang Jindong's heart was also alive, but it was just a moment: "I'm afraid it's difficult!"

"What's the difficulty?"

"A gang cannot be born out of thin air, it needs to have a younger brother to command, it needs to have a business to do, it needs to have enough social connections to support the operation and development of the organization, and there need to be some bosses who are responsible for the specific management of each region or each business. Sighing, Pang Jindong added: "I can set up a security company because I used to be a mercenary, and my comrades-in-arms back then could help me, and I also had enough resources in other aspects." If I set up a gang, I wouldn't have been able to start at all. ”

Tang Yun was determined to develop Pang Jindong into a gangster apprentice, and tirelessly persuaded him: "The Blood Lion Legion didn't exist from the beginning, and you didn't develop step by step, from the two people to today's scale!" Seeing Pang Jindong looking at himself in surprise, Tang Yun blinked his eyes slyly: "Don't ask me why I know these things, my news is very well-informed!"

Because she knew what kind of person Tang Yun was, Pang Jindong didn't bother to ask about the development history of the Blood Lion Legion from whom she knew, and just continued the topic just now: "I embarked on the road of mercenary, and someone led and guided me! If I want to work part-time in the underworld, no one can play this role!"

Tang Yun almost blurted out: "There is me!" But the words came to her mouth and swallowed again, she knew that although she knew a lot about domestic affairs, the situation in country M might not be as good as Pang Jindong's right to speak, so she could only guide Pang Jindong on some roughly similar principles: "You don't have to do it yourself, you can also use the hands of others!"

"With whom? Why do you think they agreed to help sweep away Collobo? not just because I was willing to pay a lot of money, but because I agreed to one of their terms!"

Tang Yun immediately asked, "What conditions?"

"Help them get weapons!" Pang Jindong lit a cigarette and was about to take a puff, and said: "Fortunately, they don't want any heavy weapons, nor do they have bazookas or machine guns, just a few submachine guns and a lot of pistols! Although they are willing to pay according to the market price, you must know that once something happens to these weapons, they will be traced to me!"

"If I'm not wrong, you won't let people find out about you!"

"That's right!" Pang Jindong took a puff of cigarette and said lightly: "Before delivery, I erased all traces on the weapon that might have traced me here!"

"Haha!" To Pang Jindong's surprise, Tang Yun actually laughed out loud: "This is simply great!"

"I heard you right, right? That's not bad? If they use their territory to control the territory of the Russian gangsters, don't say that they may ask me to help with missiles, it is also very questionable whether they will be obedient! The Big Circle Gang is not a marionette, and they can listen to us whatever they want!"

"Silly brother!" Tang Yun stretched out his finger, scraped Pang Jindong's face, and said excitedly: "You are so stupid and cute!"

Pang Jindong smiled bitterly and asked, "Is this a compliment?"

Tang Yun did not answer this question, but immediately analyzed, deliberately imitated Pang Jindong's way of speaking, and asked himself: "The Big Circle Gang has taken root in New York for decades, and they have their own relationships in all aspects, but they want to ask you to get weapons, why? Because it is very difficult for them to get weapons! Why are they willing to pay instead of taking them for nothing? Because they want to cooperate with you for a long time, and they don't want you to find an excuse to refuse them after the matter of Collobo is over!"

"I've thought of all of this!"

"Are you going to sell it to them?"

Pang Jindong smiled "hehe" and admitted calmly: "If you have enough money to make, it's not bad to be an arms dealer part-time!"

"That's right!" Tang Yun patted Pang Jindong on the shoulder and said happily: "Guns are not ear pickers, one or two are enough, they will be lost and damaged for various reasons." And it's not a knife, it's enough to sharpen it often, and you need to constantly replenish your ammunition. If they can only buy from you, they will slowly become dependent on you. You'll even have an influence on them, and if you manipulate them properly, it's not impossible to sue them. ”

For Pang Jindong, Tang Yun's words are really like an enlightenment, although it cannot be said that he has been enlightened, but many problems have also been solved.

In fact, Pang Jindong did not tell Tang Yunhe and concealed some extremely important things, including Anderson's drug network.

Anderson agreed to Pang Jindong's request, temporarily interrupted the supply to the Collobo mafia, and later transferred this line to the Big Circle Gang, but at the same time put forward a condition, that is, this line will be in charge of Pang Jindong in the future. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, Pang Jindong had to agree.

Although Pang Jindong doesn't need to do anything personally, just hiding behind the scenes to coordinate the operation of the entire line, it is a change of identity. This also made Pang Jindong realize that Anderson was already working on handing over the drug network, and he was likely to be one of the candidates to take over.

The people of the drug network only maintain a one-line contact with each other, and Pang Jindong has now met with his subordinate staff, and he will find an opportunity to inspect the operation of the entire line.

Seeing that he had become a drug dealer like this, Pang Jindong was having a headache about it, but he was suddenly woken up by Tang Yun. After the big circle gang gradually tastes the sweetness of drug trafficking, they will be keen on this business, and controlling the supply of goods by themselves is a constraint on them.

Seeing that Pang Jindong was thinking about things and didn't speak, Tang Yun snorted a few times, wanting to attract Pang Jindong's attention.

Pang Jindong came back to his senses and asked dissatisfiedly: "You are not a pig, what do you always hum?"

Tang Yun asked, "What are you thinking?"

Pang Jindong replied: "Just do as you say!"

In accordance with the contract requirements of the government of country M, Pang Jindong has sent eight companies to Iraq, with a total of more than 800 troops. In addition to the first company of the first battalion, there was also the fourth company, which was newly incorporated into the first battalion, and the problem of manpower shortage was finally solved as a large number of selected officers and technical personnel took up their respective posts.

The Blood Lion Legion currently has three battalions, ten companies under its jurisdiction, and more than 1,000 troops. With the exception of the first battalion, which had four companies, the remaining two battalions each had three companies. Pang Jindong formed the first regiment, assigned all these troops to it, and made changes to the military flag system, stipulating that the troops with military flags at the grassroots level were regimental level, and awarded military flags to the first regiment system. The first battalion, as the first formed unit of the Blood Lion Legion, will retain the only battalion-level military flag as a symbol of honor.

Anyone can see how ambitious Pang Jindong's adjustment of the structure and military flag is. At present, the team of more than 1,000 people is already a staggering number for underground mercenaries. If it had been more than a month ago, Miria, Nick and others would have immediately stood up against this crazy expansion, but after they learned about the security company industry and the current military policy of country M, they calmly accepted Pang Jindong's plan, and even hoped that this development would be faster.

The day before the September 11 incident, Donald Rumsfeld, then the newly appointed Secretary of Defense of Country M, issued a declaration in which he claimed that the biggest threat to the security of Country M was the Pentagon bureaucracy. He called for a new model to replace the old Ministry of Defense bureaucracy, based on the private sector.

As a result, the very next day, as if to verify Rumsfeld's words, the 911 incident occurred. Rumsfeld seized this rare opportunity to carry out military reforms, one of the most important of which was the dependence on private hired armed forces, a policy known as the "Rumsfeld Doctrine."

Later, as a scapegoat for the Iraq war, the defense minister was ousted by public opinion, but the military reform initiated by him continued. And before that, he had already taken a special step to make private mercenary armed forces part of the chain of war planes in country M.
