In order to find the mysterious organization that hides its head and tail, Zhao Jian must first obtain information from the ship group named AKY. But in the vast expanse of the Shattered Star Zone, a group of wandering ships with elusive whereabouts is like a drop in the ocean, and it is almost impossible to find them with a needle in a haystack aimlessly.

But fortunately, the other party is not unconnected with the outside world, and these ship groups will regularly trade with some black merchants from other places in exchange for some things that the Shattered Star Region cannot produce itself.

"So if you want to find the mysterious organization, you must first find the AKY ship group, and if you want to find this ship group, you must first find the black merchants who trade with them. In view of the fact that we are seriously lacking in manpower and experience, I decided to hand over this information to Boss Dai and let his intelligence network investigate it, after all, they are more professional in this area. ”

Zhao Jian believes that when it is time to ask for an organization, he must not treat himself as an outsider! Although he also has a group of men and horses, compared with the huge intelligence network in Dai Li's hands, the scale is not worth mentioning at all.

"So young master, what should we do next?" Mercenary Captain Diri asked.

"Our next move is to recruit and expand the regular armed forces we have on hand, that is, the kind that can be used on the surface. You must know that although the state of Ludao has given me an authorization that I do not make public, the investment in the initial stage is to ask the young master to pay out of his own pocket! If we can produce decent results, the people above are willing to invest more in us. ”

"But didn't we just kill two NICE~BOAT not long ago? Isn't this a good record? ”

Hearing Zhao Jian say that he wanted to "show off his achievements", Xiao Lu immediately recommended the brilliant results of his and Hongling's team-up, but Zhao Jian explained to her with a bitter face.

"To report this record, first I have to explain where the King Kong came from, and then where the 14 erosion torpedoes came from. After all these explanations have been explained, young master, I should almost be dragged away by the two sturdy Imperial Forest Army Shu Huang. That's why I said that the top priority now is to develop the regular strength that can be used, and we can't rely on these 'hidden strengths' to solve any battle in the future, right? ”

Four years ago, when Zhao Jian met Dai Li for the first time. The other party promised him. As long as Zhao Jian is willing to become an "agent", the official will authorize him to form an armed force, and he will have no problem relying on this force to establish his own country overseas in the future. The premise is that he doesn't want to die, otherwise the first one to kill him is Datang.

At first glance, this cake is not small, and it is similar to "slaying the dragon treasure knife, click to send"! But in fact, Tang Lingzong, who authorized Dai Li to form this secret force, never thought of being the wrongdoer.

After receiving the initial batch of assistance, all agents have to rely on their own "performance" in exchange for subsequent investments. That is to say, if you can't get serious results, the boss will not allocate even a dime to him.

Those who can work more, and those who work get more!

It was precisely by virtue of several meritorious contributions before and after that Zhao Jian stood out from the agents of the same period.

First the erosion torpedoes of the ancients, then the crown prince of Ethiopia. Later, it was a German transhuman soldier. After Zhao Jian made these great achievements, he not only received Dai Li's appreciation and Lingzong's summons, but also got a "don't go too far" from the emperor, Zhao Jian immediately said...... I want battleships!

The reason why Zhao Jian wanted a warship was to facilitate him to play a greater role in some regional conflicts in the future, so Lingzong allowed him to select a batch of decommissioned hulls from the state's mothballed ships to use. The condition is that the total amount does not exceed 50,000 tons, the volume of a single ship does not exceed 15,000 tons, and the total number of ships does not exceed 15, and they must be sent to the shipyard for exterior modification before they can be taken away.

However, what made Zhao Jian feel a headache was that the Spirit Sect only provided the hull and did not provide the corresponding divine core! This made Zhao Jian can't help but chant "Thank you Lord Longen" on his lips, and at the same time complain in his heart!

What about the pit daddy! Is it good that Nima Divine Core is super expensive? A 2,500-ton god core. In the auction house, the reserve price starts at 1 million, and it can be fried to 5 million in one go within 5 minutes. This price is already more expensive than the cost of the hull of a destroyer of the same tonnage, and who can believe this to say that the official did not arrange for "childcare" to follow the price hike!?

Zhao Jian is now all his net worth. There are almost 65 million Tang coins in the full calculation, and the activity funds in hand are about 15 million. Ordinary people use this money to live, which is enough to eat, drink and have fun for a lifetime, but if it is used to form an army. Especially the navy, which burns the most money, then these votes can bottom out in minutes!

However, in a high-risk industry, the cautious Zhao Jian naturally has to build up his own armed forces according to high standards.

The "agent" who joined the same batch as Zhao Jian. Except for him, they basically follow the route of "gangs involved in criminal syndicates". There are indeed quite a few people, and even a few of them now have thousands of people. However, in terms of personnel quality and weaponry, Zhao Jian's subordinates will definitely throw them no less than five streets.

In terms of conventional troops, Zhao Jian has taken the elite route from the beginning, and he has a research institute and an arsenal in his hands, completely imitating the special forces in another time and space in terms of individual equipment. The personnel are all elite veterans who have just retired from the main force, and their equipment is even more expensive, which is more fierce than the main force in active service.

It's no wonder that Dai Li, after seeing Di Rui's equipment, sighed that with so many agents under him, his Zhao Jian's men and horses are worthy of the words "elite troops".

At least in terms of the current mission needs, the 150-man special forces in Zhao's hands are completely sufficient, but the ships are in a very embarrassing situation.

Those who can fight can't see the light, and those who can see the light can't fight!

The two King Kong can't be taken out casually, the Bozi team and the hydrangea are both crispy freighters, and the two 10,000-ton god cores in their hands can be used to assimilate the two old warships first, but according to the Ethiopian who gave him the god core, these two god cores are "new god cores" that have not been used once after they were unearthed.

The Ethiopians felt that this was very new and showed that they were sincere, but Zhao Jian understood the deeper meaning of this sentence, that is, the celestial daughters of these two divine cores were rookies without any combat experience, and after assimilation, they had to train for a year or two before they could exert their combat power when the sailors were full.

In view of this situation, Zhao Jian had to find another solution, and soon, he found a deal with the Spaniards that might be the best of both worlds! (To be continued......)
