Chapter 20: The Power Struggle

In the palatial hall, a silverhorn clan was half-kneeling on the ground.

"Lord Vice-Lord, I've already investigated clearly. This man named Zhang Tong is actually the leader of the Yellow Mercenary Group. He has a high status and a high reputation in the family. The Huangquan Mercenary Regiment has a strong force in the clan and is also the initiator of the mercenary union organized by the Terrans. ”

"How do they compare to Gabriel's mercenaries in Paradise?"

"Mismatch!"

Vice-Duke Lerio's eyes narrowed slightly, "Could it be that Musebi has also recruited a Terran army? Why didn't Gabriel tell me?"

One of the subordinates said respectfully: "Deputy Chief of General Staff, before the Terrans arrived in Zhonghai City, they were all from different parts of the continent and had never contacted each other. It's reasonable not to know. However, the main reason is that humanity itself is not united, and forces within the race are fighting fiercely. Zhang Tong is Gabriel's number one competitor in Zhonghai City. That's why he deliberately withheld the news from the deceased. The purpose of taking refuge in us may be to defeat our opponents by accelerating our growth through the resources and tasks provided by the Vice-Duke!"

Gabriel has a strong strategic vision. When he arrived in Zhonghai City, he immediately began to assess the situation. As a result, Gabriel was surprised to find that in Zhonghai City, the Vice-Duke's racial power was quite strong, and two of the 39 bureaus were the powers of the Silver Horn Demons, because there were more administrative departments here, more power in the middle and grassroots of the city, and many channels for tasks and resources.

Gabriel thought about it and decided to surrender to the vice-duke and reveal the information of the Terrans. Vice-Duke Lerio knew that the potential of the human race was amazing, but after his strength was meager, he immediately moved the idea of cultivating his heart. He wants to use the Terrans to develop a puppet army. As the Terrans become stronger, they can replace the high-ranking members of the Goblin Sect. The goblin power weakened, and Zhonghai City was controlled.

Aurelio is a smart man, Gabriel does not take advantage of him, but Aurerio is not afraid of a backbite from the Terrans, because in his opinion, the potential of the Terrans is even stronger, but he is not confident enough. How can we threaten the small, unrelegated Silver Glue and maximize their power locally?

Of course, Leo doesn't know that he still looks down on humans!

In fact, human potential is far beyond imagination.

This practice of training humans to rid away evil spirits is equivalent to inviting a tiger to drive away a wolf. In the end, the infestation of the tiger will only be greater than that of the wolf, and the clan power of Zhonghai City will be excluded.

"What did Joseph do to humans?"

"I have received some reports that Zhang Tong may be awarded the position of the investigation detachment!"

"Oh, really?"

In the FBI?

It's too easy to kill him!

"However, the daughter of Duke Jowell was also assigned to the Investigation Bureau. Any army commander, that is, the army directly under the central government, is Zhang Tong's search team. ”

Aurelio's eyes became more and more gloomy: "First of all, put people in the FBI, which is the easiest to meritorious. Then, use her daughter as the direct overseer of humanity to provide an umbrella... Joseph's ambition is not small!"

"What should we do?"

"It's easy to kill a few people, but with Jowell as the umbrella and Josebei as the backing, we can't do it publicly. ”

Yin Jiaoren said: "I can find some close friends to assassinate the head of the Yellow River." ”

Aurelio thought for a moment and said, "It's not that easy. In the past few years of infighting, our main members have long been treated half dead by Joseph, and whoever is sent will be taken aback. ”

"It's not convenient for us to get our hands dirty, so we can spend a lot of money to buy a killer in Zhonghai City. As soon as this person is eliminated, half of the power of the yellow mercenaries will be disintegrated. ”

"It's Di Ling's strength in the later period... Let's give it a try. Aurelio said to his men, "Do it, but remember, be quick! Joseph is a duke after all." If the alliance is seized by us, it will be difficult for the top to explain. ”

The Terrans grow extremely fast, and the Bureau of Investigation can easily gain merit. Jowell's own strength is staggering. As long as she has enough merit, her title and prestige will be boosted to a certain extent, which is in line with the criteria. She can completely squeeze out the current director, making Aurelio feel a sense of crisis.

In fact, Aurerio thinks too much.

The Duke did have some concerns about the Terrans, but he didn't know the potential of the Terrans. Joining the Bureau of Investigation was Zhang Tong's own business, and Jowell's appointment as a lieutenant in the army also began.

The Duke wanted to assign his daughter to the City Defense Bureau as a senior officer. The City Defense Bureau is a direct army group, and it is easy to use some connections to allow Jowell to accumulate honor and prestige. After upgrading the title, he entered one of the Duke's acting bureaus and even the army department to compete for a high position.

......

Zhang Tong unwittingly became involved in a power struggle among high-ranking officials in Zhonghai City.

After leaving the castle, he spent as much as $3,000 to secure a hotel for the dwarves' exclusive entertainment.

The table was filled with abundant food. All kinds of fish, shrimp, sea crabs, shells, sea shells, sea cucumbers, and turtles are basically good marine specialties. It is a delicacy that the dwarves who live in the mountains and forests have never eaten. The chefs who make the food are also professional chefs. Although this level is slightly different from Zhang Tong, it is also a rare delicacy.

Zhang Tong's hospitality made the dwarf very happy. They ate delicious seafood and wanted to talk about happiness.

"Master Copperbeard, how do you feel after a day of shopping in the mall?"

Zhonghai City is indeed very prosperous, with convenient transportation and a broad market. The first purchase is expected to be 50,000 units of equipment, according to a purchase contract between Duke University and Nono Ginya University, which could not be sold six months ago. With so much money in the account, we will buy the means of subsistence and tools from the city, and our production will increase even further. We don't have to look at the green spirit anymore. ”

Shu Tong smiled and grabbed a 10-kilogram crab claw from a large plate nearby. Crab claws are made from crab monsters. When broken, it turns into white crab meat, which is fragrant, tender, and delicious.

Zhang Tong is equally happy. Dwarves create value for the Alliance. Yellow mercenaries can get a 10% draw. The more gold mines Nono sells, the more money Zhang Tong makes.

Copperbeard suddenly said, "Brother, there's one thing I need your help with. ”

"What is this?"

Copperbeard replied, "There are too many races in Zhonghai City, and you know the temper of our dwarves. Although we have joined the Green Alliance and established a partnership with Zhonghai City, Dwarves are not suitable for long-term living in Zhonghai City. However, the dwarves have a batch of weapons and equipment that sell high-quality goods and are not ready for wholesale sales, so they are not under the duke's orders, hoping that humans can help. “

The bronze beard is designed to work with humans. The dwarves will provide the goods, and the yellow mercenaries will help sell the goods.

The dwarves are generous and will certainly give quite good prices. Mercenaries can also benefit from this.

"No problem!"

Huang Quan wants to establish a foothold in the Green Alliance. He definitely needs to build his own industry, integrate production to get development funds. However, in order to purchase real estate and shops in Zhonghai City, in addition to the green crystal coins, the alliance also needs to make donations. Bronze beards did not contribute, and even if they had money, they could not buy a store. Zhang Tong has made more than 3,000 donations to the mission.

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Cheers to Zhang Tong and the bronze beard.

Dwarves are partners and it is easy to make money.

That.

Zhang Tong took Lei Ming to buy a store. Zhang Tong has about 40,000 green crystal coins to spend. If the mercenary group's coffers are used, another 50,000 Green Crystal Coins will be recovered, for a total of 90,000 Green Crystal Coins that can be used to purchase real estate. Lei Ming somewhat understood. Mid-range housing in Zhonghai can be purchased for about $100, or $200-$300 if it is of higher specification.

Of course, there are villas and manors, but the price is too high to be practical, and too scattered is not conducive to mercenary management.

Most of today's mercenaries have some savings, so buying a house is a breeze.

Stores are much more expensive.

Shops in the normal area are priced at $1,000, some are priced at least $5,000, and shops in the prime area are priced between $10,000 and $100,000, which makes the core area more expensive, and Zhang Tong's current social status makes him ineligible to buy.

Zhang Tong chose to buy, refine gold, refine pills, refine medicines, and tailor shops, etc. The geographical location is not good, and it is mainly used to provide goods. A total of about 40,000 units are fully equipped with various production facilities. The production team can take over and put into production directly. Zhang Tong spent another $45,000 on a store specializing in sales in a prime location.

Zhang Tong sorted out the mercenary warehouse and took out thousands of good scrolls, skill books, equipment, etc., including the B-level rare skill book "The HeavensofIce", all of which were put on the shelves for sale.

Next.

The dwarves sent a batch of fine equipment, about a thousand pieces, all of them gold.

Huangquan is expected to open in a few days. Now he needs to buy robots to manage it and invest advertising money to let more people know about the store's existence. A series of things are quite complicated. Zhang Tong gave them to the goblin. Goblins are shrewd by nature and love to calculate. It's still fitting to be a businessman.

"Once the investment is complete, our savings will be basically depleted." Zhang Tong found that someone was decorating the store, and several young and beautiful rabbits stood at the door to attract passers-by. It was only then that he realized that the green crystal coins in his savings card had almost run out. "Half of the money in the mercenary group's coffers was also spent.".

Lei Ming said confidently, "We have a lot of things, and we will definitely get back a large sum of money soon after the store opens." Then, it is expected that the weekly profit will stabilize at around $300-400, and at least $1000 per month will be credited to the accounts of the mercenary group. If 10% of the city's Nono gold mine's profits were added together as dividends, it would earn nearly $1,000 more per month, which would be enough to sustain Yellow Springs' growth. ”

If we can stabilize the net profit at $2,000 and 200,000 gold per month, this mercenary group will have enough basic expenses to keep the yellow people in the city every day, even if they can't complete the mission. First, it will keep starving and dying, and then it will strive to develop better.
