Chapter Ninety-Seven: Target Thanos XIV
Now something went wrong with these businessmen, and it immediately caused a chain reaction. If the captured loot cannot be sold in time, and the funds cannot be returned in time, then the funds for the purchase of spare parts and various materials will not be in place, and the entire capital chain of Thanos' troops will immediately have problems.
Moreover, mercenaries are not law enforcement units, in fact, mercenaries are considered lawbreakers in many places! Even if they take Li Yunlong's money, most of them are not willing to gnaw hard bones, these businessmen who wander in the gray area, usually do not cost-effective, but now they do the same as lottery boxes, are favored by many mercenary regiments. Regardless of whether the action was legal or not, as long as it could be proved to Li Yunlong's doppelganger that these merchants had a deal with Thanos' forces, then Li Yunlong was willing to pay for mercenaries to attack these merchants.
Of course, the merchants are not easy to mess with, compared to the mercenaries, their lives are much more stable, and they also have relatively reliable armed forces under their hands, it is really not easy for the mercenaries to eat them, many times the mercenaries come in a hurry, and then leave the corpses on the ground and flee in a hurry!
The problem is that the number of mercenaries who come to find trouble is almost unlimited, of course it is no problem to resist it in a short time, but after a long time, even Thanos, who has a big business, feels a headache, how can these businessmen endure this kind of suffering? Therefore, many businessmen who originally had a good relationship with Thanos's forces had to terminate their dealings with Thanos.
If that's all there is, Thanos still doesn't care. Over the years, Thanos has relied on his powerful strength and his huge legions to form an evil force that is among the best in the interstellar world. The economic value contained in this huge evil force is unimaginable to ordinary people, mercenaries are not afraid of death for the sake of money, can those businessmen who value money more than their own lives still turn a blind eye?
Some businessmen had to terminate their dealings with Thanos because they couldn't stand the constant harassment of the mercenaries, and the vacant gap was naturally filled by other businessmen, who made money and made a lot of money, and the mercenaries were a bit of a fart! Some businessmen who wanted money and didn't want to die were willing to fill the vacancies and get unimaginably huge profits!
This is the difference between the regular army and the mercenaries; they do not have the capability of large-scale unified warfare, and of course their external deterrence is not at the same level at all! The mercenaries are scattered in combat, and in the final analysis, their deterrent power is limited, and at most they can cause some harassment. Smaller businessmen may not be able to stand this constant harassment. Those businessmen who are relatively large can take this opportunity to get more profits from Thanos!
In this way, adding and subtracting, at most, it will cause harassment to Thanos' capital chain and material supply chain, and it is okay to destroy stability, but it is almost impossible to completely cut it off!
But since Li Yunlong is willing to spend money, of course he can hire those relatively large mercenary corps. The strength of this relatively large mercenary corps is not comparable to those who only have two or three kittens and big cats, and a small-scale mercenary corps can compare!
The act of bullying small merchants is more than worth the loss for these powerful mercenary legions. And although those big businessmen are fat enough, the strength of the big businessmen is also strong, if it is not a last resort, even a large mercenary army is not willing to provoke those big businessmen!
In comparison, for these large mercenary legions, accepting Li Yunlong's employment to attack Thanos' legions is stable and reliable!
No matter how large Thanos's legion is, it is impossible to get together all day long, once they are dispersed, the strong and the weak will naturally be separated, the strong ones are risky to fight, and the weak ones are stable for the large mercenary legion to eat!
The results obtained in this kind of high-intensity battle are also very valued by Li Yunlong, and are regarded as real military merits, and Li Yunlong is very generous when he gives money!
Once the number of such losses goes up, for Thanos' huge legion, it can be regarded as flesh and bloodletting! In addition, there are a large number of mercenaries who are small in size but are not afraid of death to carry out all kinds of destruction, and all kinds of resource reserves and transportation chains have suffered heavy losses, and Thanos's originally huge legion is now at least reduced by two percent in overall combat effectiveness, and there is a continuous downward trend!
Thanos, who was out of anger, personally took action, and took the Dark Five Stars and the direct legion to slash and kill, fully venting his anger, and at the same time, he also swept away the leaves of those relatively large mercenary corps who dared to take the lead, and everyone who ran slower was killed!
This is also the reason why the major forces in the interstellar world are not optimistic about Li Yunlong's actions. No matter how much money is spent and a large number of mercenaries are hired, if they cannot be effectively organized, then the mercenaries will still be scattered in the end!
What about more harassment? What about constant bloodletting? A huge evil force like Thanos and his legions can completely wipe out all the huge mercenary legions that are actually capable of inflicting massive damage through the ferocious actions of the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves!
Without these large-scale mercenary corps as the backbone, only with those stragglers, theoretically speaking, as long as Li Yunlong continues to throw money, then sooner or later, this kind of harassment can accumulate quantity over time, form a qualitative change, and eventually lead to the weakening of Thanos and his legion!
The problem is that there is a huge gap between theory and practice, and it may work in theory, but it is not so good in practice! According to the analysis of Li Yunlong's actions made by the staff officers of the major forces in the interstellar forces, it is estimated that the time will last for more than 100 years by using the continuous harassment of mercenaries through the continuous behavior of throwing money!
In the middle, it is also necessary to ignore Thanos's counterattack, as well as the targeted response behavior that Thanos may produce, otherwise in order to produce an effect, the duration needs to be extended several times! This kind of long-term uncertainty, coupled with the huge consumption of investment, it is estimated that any reasonable leader will not play like this!
No rational leader would play such a game, so is Li Yunlong so stupid? Don't be joking! Although Li Yunlong's IQ is not high, he is still above the passing line. Although the consumption of this kind of money-throwing game is completely controlled within the range that Li Yunlong can bear, if you want to see obvious results, it will take more than a hundred years, how can Li Yunlong be willing with his current mentality?
With so much time, why don't you do something? Even if you do research, it's better than consuming this time in vain, right? So this kind of gameplay is essentially a smoke bomb released by Li Yunlong, and the real purpose is hidden behind. Li Yunlong really doesn't like Thanos!
You say that it would be good for you to engage in theoretical research, but you have to come out and link theory with practice! If you really succeed in practice, you will really have to pay half of the life in the universe to you the scourge? Although now that Li Yunlong has achieved the body of a demon god, even if Thanos really wears the Infinity Gauntlet and concentrates a sufficient number of Infinity Stones, it is basically an unrealistic dream to kill Li Yunlong by snapping his fingers, but he can't stand Li Yunlong from looking at him unpleasantly!
So on the issue of dealing with Thanos, Li Yunlong didn't play tricks, maybe Thanos himself Li Yunlong can't kill it, but Li Yunlong is still sure of making some small moves against Thanos' subordinates!
In fact, the main reason for Thanos' anger was the loss of Thanos' elite army!
is actually classified as an evil force, Thanos is also a big man, the most basic personal cultivation is still there, Li Yunlong threw money indiscriminately, and the harassment caused by those hired mercenaries was not taken to heart by Thanos at first, and Thanos was even a little happy. Thanos is not very satisfied with his subordinates, Li Yunlong's method of throwing money to hire mercenaries is just a whetstone in Thanos's opinion, and he can use external forces to screen his subordinates to be outstanding people.
But as time passed, Thanos unexpectedly found that the losses of his elite corps were unexpectedly huge! Thanos's elite corps was an elite unit that could fight hard with the regular corps owned by planet-level organizations, even if it encountered the larger ones in the mercenary corps, they had enough strength to fight hard, and there should not be such huge losses at all!
What's more, it is impossible for his subordinates not to report the relevant situation to themselves in a battle of that scale, but he has not received such a situation report recently, Thanos deliberately went to search for it, and the situation is the same as Thanos himself estimated, and it is really those stragglers who caused such huge losses to his elite corps!
The problem is that they can be mixed in the mercenary industry, and basically every master who can survive after many years is named and surnamed, and naturally there are relevant forces to recruit them, and the vast majority of them are masters in the relatively large mercenary army, and only a very small number of them are outside.
Judging from the data feedback, although the number of attacks encountered by Thanos' elite corps is huge, the scale of each attack is very small, and many times it is the kind of small mercenary corps with only one ship, perhaps it is more appropriate to call it a squad. What is even more outrageous is that more than 60 percent of the total number of attacks were actually suicide attacks launched by some mercenaries who ran away from the gang! When did mercenaries, the masters of the industry, lose their lives so worthless!
Thanos's elite troops are not only strong in group combat, but also unambiguous in individual combat effectiveness, otherwise why are they called elite troops? As the name suggests, the Running Gang is one person, and the number of mercenaries with only one person launches an attack on Thanos' elite troops, isn't it a suicide attack! In this case, it can still cause effective damage, no matter how you think about it, you have to be a master in the mercenary industry to do it!
However, although the overall number of mercenaries is very large, the number of masters mixed in it is quite limited, after all, masters are easy to mix up no matter where they are, so why fight in the mercenary industry?
