Chapter 341: Graybeard arrives

Generally speaking, once it rises to the level of organizational power, its deconstruction becomes much more complicated, and it is roughly divided into three parts: war affairs, logistics, and periphery.

Logistics includes financial processing, business contacts, personnel recruitment and training, arms procurement, intelligence transactions, and so on.

Peripheral generally refers to derivative businesses, such as bars, shooting clubs, logistics and express delivery, etc.

Graybeard is also such an organization.

Therefore, taking down this mercenary group is not simply to take down those engaged in combat affairs, but to accept it comprehensively.

This makes Kane willing to use the treatment of a Type A puppet to greet Greybeard, so that the puppet can eventually inherit Greybeard's memories and have the appearance of Greybeard.

In Graybeard's memory, he lost this single mission, and the price was very good, but he was on the hard idea of piercing his hands, and a certain assassination organization that was likely to be the number one in the platoon.

So after he went back, he began to recruit troops and horses, replenish his combat strength, and recruited a few outlaws who no one dared to take in, he himself wondered, why was he so cowardly in the past, he had a twin, except for the kind of crazy people who are not afraid of death, what kind of rotten people he can't deterre?

This is actually the beginning of the transformation, and the beginning of another version of 'the teacher is not a person'.

Kane left the organization intact as a tentacle for him to penetrate into the human world. After all, mercenaries are called war hyenas, and when it comes to war, their noses are always sensitive.

In addition, the Greybeard mercenaries can also be seen as a channel, and a notorious and evil group like them has won the trust of some people.

A bunch of guys who can't be washed no matter how much they wash are, in a way, actually reliable. There are even people who earn their money exclusively. For example, weapons sales and so on.

As a country that is declining day by day, the Federation naturally has no shortage of people who buy and sell armaments, both big and small, and even battle cruisers. If not, how can the Dead Man's Harbor become a place outside the law? You must know that mercenaries have always been paid to do things, and they will not join forces to fight with a certain country just because they want an uncontrolled gold cave.

After peacefully evolving his own non-war department, Graybeard led the team to vote. They were aboard a Hercules-class armed transport ship that was more than ten years old.

Serious military products, and for a ship, it is the year to fight. But they got it from the arms dealers at a slightly higher price than the price of selling scrap iron.

However, there has been no such good thing lately, and the Union army is fierce and turbulent, and some people say that the Federation wants to transfer the internal contradictions, which makes the Yumojian Protectorate three times a day.

This country is the weakest of the three kingdoms, and nearly 10 years ago, it failed to fight with the Kyle-Moriath Alliance, so that the Kaimo Alliance, which was already inferior to the Federation, was defeated, and the reparations for land and the signing of traitorous treaties have been sprayed as the most short-sighted behavior by the keyboard strategists of the Civil Science Department.

Because of the situation of the Three Kingdoms of the Human Race in the Koplu Star Region, to a certain extent, it is the reappearance of the ancient Three Kingdoms, and the Sun-Liu Alliance can withstand the powerful Cao Wei, and the Shu Kingdom is finished, and you can live alone in Dongwu?

The current situation is that the Kaimo Alliance has only been decent, and it has been weakened very badly in secret, so if the Federation opens again, I am afraid that it will be to directly cut Yumoyan, Kaimo is injured and weak on the one hand, and on the other hand, he complains that Yumoyan stood by last time, and this time it is likely that he will not send troops. Yumayan is expected to be destroyed.

Kane, of course, knew the real reason.

He estimated that the Fox family knew that it was impossible to keep the secret for a long time, so after gaining the first-mover advantage, he took the initiative to sell it without waiting for the other founding families to suspect and steal the secret, and sold it more than once.

The best proof of this is that from the beginning of October, the mining of the sun tree on Josala suddenly increased fivefold. This is no longer an attitude of doing a trickle of water and long-term trading.

Snakes run and rabbits run, each with its own plan. The top magnates naturally want to grab guns, and then they will be surprised to find that the army is far worse than they imagined, all kinds of holes cannot be filled, all kinds of theft and sales are very rampant, there is a lack of training, weapons are not maintained, facilities are not maintained, and there is a shortage of manpower on the front line.

There's nothing to say, let's put a lot of effort into rectification. So the joint pressure, but there is no clear statement to the outside world, so the undercurrent surges, all kinds of speculation.

"In about a month, what can I do more?" Kane pondered, thinking he could send the new Greybeard to investigate Marsala more thoroughly.

In the future, there will also be a battlefield of humans and insects, and even the original historical line, the first head-to-head confrontation between humans and insects is here. A colonial militia led by Jim Reynolds against the Worm Scout-class ex-team.

At about 10 a.m. on Nov. 3, Kane broke into the porcupine bar with four big men.

It was neither a meal nor a master's time, the bar was empty, the bartender was not there, and on the barstool in front of the bar, there was only a bearded man in his thirties drinking, and the number 11 whiskey was stronger than tequila.

Kane recognized at a glance that the one who drank was Jim Reno, who originally drank beer and a little No. 8 whiskey, but later became a sheriff and got married, and drank less whiskey, usually drinking some beer. Now I drink heavily in the morning, naturally because my wife and son are dead.

With a gesture, the four men with hideous faces and gangster temperament found a table to sit down on their own, whether they wanted anything or not, but paid attention to the environment here with an indifferent face.

This is a Type A biological person, with its own characteristics, but after adjustments, it has the demeanor of a security agent who goes out on a mission, and the gangster spirit comes with it.

Although Jim Renaud was already half drunk, out of professional sensitivity, he quickly noticed the four men. Then he subconsciously frowned.

Take out the antique Colt python on your waist and fill it with bullets one by one.

When Kane saw this scene, he said to himself, "This is the legendary Little Revolver of Shattered Stars." ”

This meme is a reference to Renault's first ascent to Charl, where he used the shot to kill a Mosquito, which exploded over a king worm and then blew up a hatchery. It's the same as the horseshoe nail destroying a kingdom.

In addition, the gun had three bullets that smashed through the lock of the gate of Presteel, which is the thickness of the tank's frontal armor.

Kane came to Renault's side, took the wine glass in his own hand, picked up the wine bottle in front of Renault, poured himself a glass bottom, drank it in one gulp, and then said: "When I first arrived, I heard that Jim Renault is very prestigious, come and pay a visit to the dock." After drinking your glass of wine, we can be considered a little friendship, and my brother and I will be subject to the rules, and if there are any local customs and taboos, please give me advice. ”

Renaud glanced at Kane, a young and capable man who felt like he was from a powerful family, with the characteristics of a commanding superior from the inside out, but he spoke very well.

"The only custom in Marsala is to remember to pay enough when you take something. Jim Renault said, glancing at the four men near the door.

He was familiar with this kind of person, and Teks Finley was that of the year. At one point, he thought they had come to trouble him. After all, he had been robbing the rich and helping the poor with Teks for four or five years, robbing the rich of those who used improper means to make money, and helping himself and the poor of those who had their own miserable pasts and had to make a lowly living.

Among them, there are many ruthless and unkind people who miss him, and of course, there are also grateful poor people who provide him with cover or intelligence information within their ability, which is a big reliance on him to escape from pursuit repeatedly.

Now, although he knows that these people don't mean it, but this kind of person is not the kind of person who makes money in a serious way, as the sheriff of New Melbourne, he mainly relies on the prestige on the road to deter Xiaoxiao, and relies on the righteous name to let those Jianghu people who talk about some rules buy some face, if he really wants to meet the fierce river dragon, he may not be able to do it.

"It's annoying! It's not easy to live anywhere, and it's not easy to do anything!"

Kane said hello and led the people away, and Renault had no intention of drinking, so he went back to wash up and look refreshed, and went to find Myles Hammond.

Hammond is an old acquaintance of his, and has been trying to do something for more people through legitimate channels. In a federation rife with corruption, such people are struggling. And Hammond is not bad, not as rigid as those traditional defenders, but knows how to use not very good people and means to do good things.

For example, he, a former robber with a thick criminal record, was promoted to the position of sheriff by Hammond with the authority of a judge.

Hammond not only gave him the opportunity to live in the sun, but also took care of his widowed and sick mother in his early years. And he is also willing to do what Hammond said in his inaugural speech: to protect the good people of this world.

Reynolds sees Hammond and tells him what happened to him at the bar, reminding Hammond that New Melmel was helping the villain.

After listening carefully, Hammond added, "They're not ordinary villains, they're Graybeard." As he spoke, he took out a metal business card and handed it to Renault.

Renault recognizes this kind of business card and calls it a 'special communication card', which is mainly used for ultra-long-distance communication, such as between galaxies.

The communication between galaxies, the supervision of the Federation is very strong, and there have been outbreaks of the lack of professional ethics of the regulators, the sale of information for profit, and the result of the federal officials suffering heavy losses, but I still think about it.

This kind of communication card is a communication tool with information encryption ability that was born in this context. Naturally, the price is not cheap.

Renault listened to Hammond explain: "The young man who called himself Kane Zhao was convinced that I would have business with them, so he left this business card. ”

As he spoke, Hammond showed a wry smile: "You know, Renault, I think something is going to happen to Marsala, I heard the grapevine before, Marsala's garrison is packing and preparing to evacuate, I thought it was the purge wind blowing here, and those rotten people finally couldn't plug the hole of corruption and was rectified, now I think, I'm afraid I want to be bad, the hyenas who are most sensitive to war have arrived, will the war be far away from us?"

Renault frowned and asked, "With whom?"

In a word, it is a prophecy.

Neither Renault nor Hammond could solve the mystery. Although the Federation is corrupt, it is not enough for the people to rise up on a large scale, that is, as the saying goes, the son of Keha, who is the most resolute in revenge because Keha IV was neutralized, is considered the most threatening rebel in the alliance, but it has also been a duck in the Year of the Dog, scurrying around, which has been almost ten years, and has not aroused many people to respond.

Yes, responding to the revolution is a livelihood with your head tied to your belt, but who wants to take that risk if there is a way?

But apart from a large-scale rebellion, neither Renault nor Hammond could think of any kind of war, which even the Alliance army did not dare to face head-on, and needed to be solved by war hyenas who only recognized money.

After pondering for several days, Renault couldn't find an answer, and once he was habitually drinking, he accidentally saw the head of the stinging snake in the bar, and couldn't help but feel excited, it was a monster that he hunted with the police and several old hunters in response to the beast attack case.

According to the old people who live here, they have never seen such a creature in Marsala before.

This is clearly a ferocious carnivore, from deconstruction to limbs, all prepared for fighting, the scythe forelimbs are capable of slicing through steel, and the neck has thousands of sets of muscles, making the spines fired faster than bullets.

If this creature were a native product of Marsala, then the humans who came here to pioneer in the first place would have been invaded by violating its territory and would not have been delayed until now.

Renault agrees with this statement, but can't explain why they appear in Marsala, they can't be from space, right?

Renaud wasn't the kind of otaku with a clear mind, so he couldn't think of such a way as biochemical experiments, and even if he did, he didn't think the lab would be crazy enough to raise thousands of such things.

As for in the wild, unless these things can eat and drink, they will definitely not be able to expand the scale, and the sporadic beasts, even if the militia use the rotten goods eliminated by the federal army, are also power armor, and advanced weapons, the beasts may poison a few prospectors living in the wilderness or something, but they are absolutely not capable of threatening the town, let alone let the mercenary group hear about it.

After thinking about it, there was no answer, Renault was not the kind of person who could sit calm and wait for the answer to appear, and he planned to ask Zhao Kane Zhao......
