Natasha introduced the basic situation to them, this time the mission location is in the suburbs of a small city in the Caucasus Forte, although the town is not big, but it can be regarded as prosperous in the local area, the buildings of the entire city are relatively loose, intelligence shows that Bane is in a manor in the north of the city is more heavily defended, at present, they are conducting peripheral reconnaissance, and have found several observation posts hidden in the forest and mountains, the enemy has made a large range of early warning deployment, it is not easy to get close, they can only arrange people on the periphery, Find out the specific situation and then move forward.

There are three teams that come this time, but they are not familiar with each other, in order to avoid the problem of poor coordination, each is responsible for different directions, to the surprise of Heavy Punch is that he does not know the people sent by 03 this time, according to Natasha, these people are completely new faces.

"Where did he get so many people?" The worm also felt strange, but it was certain that not only did Natasha not know these people, but they had never seen them, but with 03's caution, it was unlikely that they would be hired, and outsiders who came to participate in such an important operation were likely to be the partners of his other channels, of course, this was just their speculation, and the specific situation was unknown.

"03 has vast magical powers, and it is not a problem to find some people, so there is nothing strange about it." "However, from this point of view, our combat strength may be the weakest of the three, and 03 has reached the point where there is no one available, so we can only ask others for help." ”

"Now the lone wolf's wounded are standing in the vast majority, I'm afraid that the only ones who can participate in the battle are the captain and the cloud owl, but now they are assisting 03, so there is almost no one to call." Heavy Punch sighed, from the beginning of the investigation of the 'Clock Tower' to now, their losses have exceeded expectations, and their combat strength has plummeted, if it were replaced by an ordinary organization, I am afraid that it would have been disbanded long ago, but they can only continue to hold on, maybe 03 did not send them over because of this consideration, hoping that they can recuperate their state as soon as possible and deal with the more difficult situation in the future, so this time they had to use others to participate in the action.

"It's actually nothing big on our side, 03 thinks too much." The ghost said.

"Nothing serious? If your ribs are subjected to external force, they will definitely be broken directly, and if you insert them into the internal organs, you will be finished, and the wound on your back will be more troublesome, no matter whether it will be life-threatening, a large amount of blood loss is enough for you, don't take your own injury seriously, it will be fatal. Heavy punch said.

"It's not much better than me." The ghost said, in fact, the state of the heavy punch is also very bad, the position of the bullet in the back is almost attached to the spine, although the body armor saved his life, but the warhead is stuck in his flesh after passing through the body armor, he just came back, but the injury is quite serious, the doctor said when he operated on him that if the bullet was a little forward at that time, it could pass directly through his back into the chest, plus the infection occurred all the way without proper conditioning, even if he was still alive, but it was only a superficial phenomenon, Once the internal infection expands, then his life may not be saved.

"So you never take your life seriously, your state is really not suitable for continuing to perform high-intensity tasks, take care of your body honestly, now you are only in stable condition, but I am afraid it will take a while to recover." Worm said that she was the least injured of the three.

"It's going to take a while for the mission to begin." The ghost shook his head and went back to eat his hot pot.

"How many people did you send this time?" Punch asked the griffon.

"Natasha has led a total of 16 teams, although there are not many, but they can be regarded as battle-tested, and a large part of them have cooperated with you." Griffin said.

"You may have to deal with Carol's trained men, these people are quite combat-ready, and quite tenacious, and last time we let him run because we underestimated the combat ability of his men." "It is likely that a large part of them are dead men, lords who do not die for the sake of their purpose." ”

Heavy Punch nodded, "That's right, we haven't taken advantage of the last few fights, except for the last time you got me back, which was a victory, the other times we have been considered to have lost the upper hand." ”

"The last time we went to arrest him, we just didn't achieve our goal, but it was definitely not a failure, and it was a great killing of his majesty to get him to run away on a donkey." The ghost said.

Heavy Punch shook his head, "That's not a success." ”

"Carroll is a very good person, we have known that for a long time." "He wasn't our opponent before, so we've never taken his existence seriously, and if this is the one he brought out, the people in front of him really need to be careful." ”

"HK knows these guys, he will make a comparative reminder, don't worry too much, there is also relevant content on the updated information, and they will accurately estimate the enemy's strength after circulation." Heavy punch said.

The preparations ahead may take quite some time, and because of what happened to his ex-wife, HK has become more cautious, and a few people in the back can only sit there and wait, eating while discussing the difficulties they have faced and the progress they have made.

At present, the biggest problem they face is still the slow progress of the investigation, the lack of understanding of the 'clock tower', the lack of accurate investigation direction, and the results obtained are not enough to threaten the existence of the organization, in order to make the hamster wake up as soon as possible, 03 has secretly transported it to Germany for treatment, I really didn't expect them to go all out to treat an enemy now, but this is really helpless, after all, this person has a high use value, so if you want to send it back, you must first wake him up.

The ghost has not been involved in the incident for a long time, so the role played is limited, and they basically rely on the intelligence they collected in the early stage as a reference, but in general, they know more about the Degu Group, after all, they have cooperated with each other before, and from the information they have, it can be seen that the strength of the group is far higher than that of the Bain Group and those industries under the hamster, this is a large technology group, whether it is financial strength or technical strength, it is world-class, Can refine metal palladium such a rare precious metal is definitely not ordinary enterprises can do, according to the current understanding of the situation, the group has at least six research and development centers around the world, the largest one in Hamburg, Germany, and the group and many countries have high-end cooperation, palladium is an indispensable key material in high-tech fields such as aerospace and nuclear weapons and nuclear energy, as well as the automobile manufacturing industry, but also the international precious metal investment market can not be ignored investment varieties, therefore, the group has the world's top cutting-edge technology, Coupled with the fact that the Group and some countries have priority cooperation projects, it is not so easy to get their hands on them.

"They not only refine the metal palladium, but also other precious metals have related input and research, and can be regarded as an authoritative organization in this regard, as far as we know, the chairman of the group does not have any political background, and is currently just a legitimate businessman, with an impeccable identity." The ghost said.

"According to the form of the 'Clock Tower', the public figures in front are just puppets controlled by them, or just responsible for making money, so these people generally do not have any problems, and the 'Clock Tower' will secretly manipulate these people through agents to achieve the purpose of swaying the group, so only by finding an agent can we continue to investigate the 'Clock Tower' through this line, this group is just a peripheral industry of the organization, a tool for making money and investment." Heavy punch said.

"Since it is an important industry under its umbrella, it has the value of a blow, do you think they really don't care about the loss of basically 100 billion? We should find a way to confiscate his properties, and even if the 'clock tower' is an octopus, sooner or later we will all cut off all of our tentacles. The ghost said.

"It's not so easy to move such a large group, especially if they have high-end cooperation with a country, the implication is too great, and it will definitely cause a lot of trouble, but it's not that we can do it if we want to, this needs to go to the upper line, through diplomatic channels to solve, this kind of thing can only be handed over to the military doctor to deal with, we have no identity, let alone upper-level resources, and it is not easy to expose the roots, so it is better not to intervene." Heavy punches are more subtle.

"How can it be so complicated? Just blow up his research center, and the losses in these places will definitely be enough for them to jump. "The ghost is starting to think about the problem from one side again.

"Only terrorists do that, and besides, how much is the loss of an R&D center? If the goal can be achieved through diplomatic means, it is not as simple as destroying R&D centers, some relevant countries can confiscate their industries, suspend cooperation, and confiscate technology, and the indirect losses in this regard are much higher than destroying an R&D center, and it does not cost a soldier a single soldier or a single shot. Heavy punch said.

"Nationalization, I remember that did this in Knubia, and they often used this way to rob blatantly." The ghost said.

"It's definitely not as simple as it sounds, people cooperate well, why listen to you? Even using diplomatic means to exert pressure is not so easy to achieve the goal, this case is too big for many years, so no one knows what the final result will be? The griffon said.

"So we don't have to worry too much about this matter, just leave it to the military doctor to do, as for how far he can operate, it's not something we can control, we still don't want to get involved too much in this kind of thing, of course, we can't get involved." Heavy punch has an expression of no longer thinking about it when he pushes things out, he knows this kind of thing, he can't interfere at all, anyway, there is 03 on it, it's useless to think too much.

"I didn't expect that such an organization as the 'Clock Tower' would involve a lot of international relations, it seems that their energy is indeed not small, and it may take a long time to really eradicate it." Griffin said.

"I have already prepared for this, so we have to be ready to fight a protracted war, and we haven't figured out the true identity of the other party until now, maybe we have to find out his ten years and eight years, needless to say that it will take eight years to toss like this, if there is another year and a half to find out, I will report and transfer back, no matter what I do, even if I go back to see the warehouse, it is more comfortable than this." Worm said.

"Why are you complaining?" Heavy punches feel strange.

"I'm not complaining, I'm just looking for a chance to get out of these messy things, from the beginning to the present, the head of the investigation is big, not like this, I just feel annoyed." Worm said, "Now the worst loss is the lone wolf, there is not much combat strength left, you look at the military doctor's side, even if the loss is great, but for the whole, it is nothing at all, we don't have the strength of the family, and they can't afford it." ”

What the insect said is indeed very reasonable, more than half of their team is now seriously injured and hospitalized, and the three of them are also covered in injuries, which is quite complete, only 03 and Lin Xiao are left, as for Yun Xiao, they are not considered to be in their team at all, they are borrowed from 03, but they have been in trouble on their side, and there is a serious shortage of manpower, so they have not left, and on the other hand, on the other hand, on the side of the military doctor, it doesn't matter how much manpower is lost, they can be transferred from the headquarters at any time to replenish, so, The loss of personnel is nothing to the military doctors, they are different, although everyone is still alive, but there are fewer and fewer people who can use it, 03 has to call outsiders to participate in their operations, it is clear that their situation is worrying.

"So your partnership is completely unequal." Griffin said.

Chong Fist nodded, "Definitely, there is a serious imbalance in strength, but now they can't get rid of us, your joining can indeed balance this relationship to a certain extent, but on the whole, it is beneficial to us." ”

"I'm not optimistic about the cooperation between you at all, since the Martin incident, I no longer believe in the people of the ~ CIA, haven't you been played by them enough?" The ghost said.

"Cooperation is really helpless, our unilateral forces can not fight against the 'clock tower', we need a partner with enough strength, we need each other's needs, to put it bluntly, we use each other, there are reasons to cooperate, but we don't trust each other, this is a deformed cooperative relationship, no one can do anything." Heavy punch said.

"One day, you will be planted in their hands." The ghost said, "It doesn't hurt for you to get out of this relationship as soon as possible. ”

"Thanks for the reminder, we'll be careful." Heavy Punch knows that the ghost is for their good, but he also knows that this cooperative relationship must be maintained during the period of dealing with the 'Clock Tower', because from another perspective, the 'Clock Tower' is not only the enemy of the lone wolf, but also a huge threat to some state-owned industries and investments, and even touches on national interests.

"The data has been updated! There is news of Sandro and Carroll. Worm looked at the computer and said, "Bruce just sent it, and it's already been dealt with." ”

"03's hasn't come here yet, why did he arrive first?" The ghost put down his chopsticks and turned on the computer.

"I guess I showed us first, and I haven't passed through the military doctor yet." Heavy punch looked at the content above, "Sandro, why did you run to South America again?" ”

"This guy has long legs." The ghost also saw the message, but only mentioned that Sandro had been seen in the area, and there was no more specific clue.

The amount of information in this update is larger, Carol appeared in South Asia again, was captured by a street camera, there is a small piece of video data, it can be seen that this guy is still injured, and he is not very neat when he walks, but he is only photographed going out and getting in the car to leave, but in the end, the tracking of the vehicle failed, and the other person disappeared again, and Bruce's people are currently investigating in the area to find his whereabouts.

In addition, the seizure of the 'clock tower' through official channels continues, most of the Bain Group's investments in the Middle East have been terminated, and the relevant countries are confiscating their properties, and the proceeds of these seizures may have to be used to fill the coffers of these countries.

"What we found in the battle, the final beneficiary turned out to be these invested countries, and we didn't have a penny." The ghost felt as if everything they were doing was the selfless dedication of these countries.

"Our purpose is not for money." Heavy punch said.

"Of course I know, but I just think it's cheaper for nothing." As he spoke, the ghost continued to flip back, and found that some small countries that were once controlled by the 'clock tower' had received a lot of assistance from the United States, and the United States was intervening or controlling these countries through political means to achieve their strategic goals.

"It makes it seem like we've become the vanguard of the expansion of the United States." Ghost smiled bitterly and said, "We are simply eliminating the threat, but they have already started to use this opportunity to expand their power and exert influence on these countries, and from this point of view, we are at a loss." ”

"We don't ask about politics, we don't get involved, no matter how much they get, it doesn't matter to me, you're right, we're just trying to eliminate the threat, not to mess with this mess, and it's not for us to worry about these things." Unmoved, he said, "Just care about what we should care about." ”

"Investing in war-torn countries is risky, these small countries can have coups d'état at any time, and the turnover of top management is quite frequent, and if you choose the wrong investment target, it may not be profitable." The griffin said, "Actually, in this case, the size of investment and gambling is about the same, bet on the right profit, bet on the wrong grain and get nothing, but the United States has money, and does not care about the loss, once the bet is right, you can not further control the country, mother, it is good to have money." ”

"In fact, what they do is not much different from the 'Clock Tower', but they do it in the name of the country, which is more high-sounding, and everything the 'Clock Tower' does is also to control these countries, but the bigwigs are doing it blatantly, but they are not allowed to take advantage of small shrimp like them!" The ghost drank wine and said, "So this world still depends on who has the big fist, and whoever has the big fist has the right to speak, and whether the fuck is legal or not, it just depends on who has the law." ”

"Oops, there's no need to go on this topic." Heavy Punch finds it boring to discuss this.

"They're starting to move forward, quick, eat, watch live!" The ghost found that there was movement on Natasha's side and said to the others, "Oops, it feels so good to eat hot pot and watch a show......
