Rose frowned and said, "The problem is that we really invested so much that we didn't make all the bets?" We don't seem to have that much, huh? Could it be that the Anglo-French guilds invested less in the cost of gambling? ”
"You're not counting private investment, are you?"
"Private investment?" Rose looked at me curiously.
I explained to her with a smile: "The players in our guild know that this time they will win anyway, and they naturally want to make a fortune with the guild if they have a little spare money, so everyone starts to buy bets, and our guild will have more than 100,000 players, and everyone buys some, which is not a small amount." ”
"I said it!"
Ah Xiufu said beside him: "You don't count, your guild alone has invested 3.1 billion crystal coins, and the total investment of your members is also about 3 billion crystal coins, and the odds of our Iron Cross winning are 3.12 to 1, and these more than 6 billion not only cannot be credited to the total funds, but also need more than 18 billion funds to complete the gambling compensation." You Qianfeng Yi Miao helped me defend the city, and as a result, he also invested more than one billion and occupied more than three billion indemnities. We, the Iron Crossers, have also bought bets totaling six billion crystal coins, and we have to repay more than 18 billion crystal coins. In total, the British and French guilds and other guilds that bought other results need to invest nearly 40 billion crystal coins to completely complete the gambling game, even if there are many buyers attracted this time, but 40 billion crystal coins is not a small amount, and it is normal for the one-time guide zhì system to freeze the gambling account and refuse new bets. ”
Feng Yi, who had been sitting on the side, said in surprise: "You all bought six billion? ”
I shook my head: "It was Ashuford who bought six billion, and my guild only bought three billion." The other three billion were purchased piecemeal by the members themselves. ”
"Who said I bought six billion?" Ashford also explained, "Our guild only bought two billion, and the other four billion were also bought by our members. Just the 2 billion and 1.5 billion I borrowed from me, who is as terrifying as your guild to be able to mobilize 3 billion liquidity? ”
Rose said with a bitter smile: "We Chinese are used to being diligent and thrifty, usually saving more money to be prepared, but you Europeans like to spend tomorrow's money today and waste it in advance, is this a cultural difference?" ”
Asford joked: "I don't ask you to borrow money, why do you explain so clearly?" ”
I interrupted Rose, who still wanted to defend herself, and said, "Since the Anglo-French guild has directly entered the war, the next battle will not be as smooth as before, you should think clearly about this in advance." All of you here have made a lot of money, in case you lose, everyone will weigh the result yourself! ”
Asford nodded: "My money is still borrowed from a loan shark. If you can't pay it back, it's really a big problem. ”
Feng Yi nodded mistyly: "Even if it's not a loan shark, I won't be willing to give away my money in vain!" Anyway, one is to fight two, as long as the Beast Alliance and the Foster Alliance are destroyed as originally planned. The other one is good to say. ”
"In theory, it's all wrong, but in practice, we have to rethink it." I said to them, "There are not just two new guilds in the Anglo-French guilds. The organizers of this gamble said that it was an Anglo-French guild, but it was actually a temporary alliance of five guilds, three of which were English guilds and the other two were French guilds. Since we want to fight them, we must first find out the situation of the enemy, and I will send someone to investigate the situation of these five guilds first. We don't even know the names of these five guilds until now, and we will definitely suffer if we start a war. It is necessary to have a general understanding of the enemy's situation before thinking about the next step. ”
"Then I'll send someone to investigate, and my people should be able to do this kind of thing." Asford took the initiative to take on the task of reconnaissance.
In fact, it is not very troublesome to investigate the strength of the five guilds. Since there is money to engage in such a big gambling activity, then these guilds will not be obscure small guilds, and it will naturally be much easier to investigate. After all, Ashford's Iron Cross was one of the two major guilds tied for the first place in Germany, and the infiltration and intelligence gathering work of the two old British and French neighbors was naturally not bad, and soon all the information we needed was returned.
Asford took the information sent back by the intelligence officer and said, "The information is out. One of the two French guilds had a name very similar to ours, and this guild was called the Crusaders, which was very close to the name of our Iron Crossers. The other guild is called the Celestial Alliance. The three guilds in Britain are the Eugen Chamber of Commerce, the Business Alliance, and the Imperial League. ”
"How's their strength?"
"The Celestial Alliance in France is a large combat guild, belonging to the guild that has suddenly risen in recent times, and its main means of development is constant wars and annexations, and it is said that it seems to have a lot of financial support that has developed so quickly. The other crusader was an old guild. It has always been one of the larger guilds in France, with a relatively balanced strength and no outstanding appearance, but there are no obvious shortcomings. In general, both guilds are combat guilds, and once they enter the war, it will affect us a lot. The Imperial Alliance of the three British guilds is also a new guild, and has just annexed several major British guilds to become the current first guild in the United Kingdom. This guild is also a type with strong combat effectiveness, and it seems that it also has a specialty in large weapons, so it should be a difficult bone to gnaw. As for the Eugen Chamber of Commerce and the Business Alliance, there is no problem, these are two commercial guilds, their own combat strength is not strong, and they are characterized by being particularly rich, so they don't need to pay too much attention. ”
I reached out to stop Ashford from continuing. "The Business Alliance and the Eugen Chamber of Commerce cannot be underestimated, although it is not a militant guild, but this is the most dangerous. Now that the system is open to NPC legions to purchase, the richer the guild, the more likely it is to suddenly appear heavy troops, such guilds are the most dangerous, and treating him as a harmless guild is the biggest risk. ”
"So he's going to send troops too?" Ashford asked cautiously.
"It's hard to say." I thought for a moment and said: "Funding to host gambling may have almost exhausted their funds, and it is not certain how much money these two rich men can come up with, but it is hard to guarantee that they will not have the funds to buy NPC legions, what should we do if a large number of enemy troops suddenly appear?" Now that Germany is in chaos, we only know that Britain and France have entered the war, and we don't even know how many troops the other side has. ”
