Shogan pondered, "And he can hire us and pirates. From the outside, we are just fighting pirates. Several mercenaries went to rescue the hostages, but they died together with the hostages. Of course they were killed by the pirates . This has nothing to do with him at all, and in the eyes of outsiders, he has worked hard to rescue you. He is a very good friend. "
Alpha shrugged and said, "That should be it."
"Then who is this person?" Zhao Jianfei said slowly.
"Normally, I have to keep my clients secret, but in this case, I still have to tell it." Alpha said slowly, "He is Joe Claire."
"Who?" Lin Rui couldn't help but frown, he had never heard of this person.
Maang'an's expression changed, and he said slowly, "Qiao. Claire. One of the twelve senior executives of Morning Star Company. Michelle's old enemy in the company."
Zhao Jianfei nodded and said, "Yes, I have heard of this person. He is a difficult guy to deal with, and like Michelle, he is one of the founders of Morningstar Company and has great influence in Morningstar Company. "
"The founder of Morning Star Company?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, Morning Star Military Security Company is a very special organization. It is currently a large defense contractor and is quite famous in the industry. But it was initially only established by a small number of mercenary groups working together, so the composition is very complicated. . Joe Claire and Michelle were both leaders of different mercenary organizations at the time, so they competed and cooperated with each other. While ensuring the interests of the company, they were also considering the interests of their own group." Zhao Jianfei nodded.
"But I still don't quite understand. Since we are all members of Morning Star Company, why would he want to harm us?" Qin Fen frowned.
Masakishi explained, "For example, Morningstar Company is a bit like the NBA Professional Basketball League in the United States. The twelve senior executives of the company are equivalent to the owners of various clubs. Of course everyone hopes that the professional league will be popular, but among themselves But there is a competitive relationship. Everyone wants their team to become the champion so that they can get a bigger share of the pie. That¡¯s the relationship between Joe Claire and Michelle.¡±
"Fuck, this is really ridiculous." Qin Fen said helplessly.
"That's it. Just like the NBA is not just a sport, but a business with huge profits. Military security companies not only provide combat and security personnel. In the final analysis, it is also a business, and the profits are greater. After all, there are profits There is competition. This is within the allowable scope of the rules." Masakishi shook his head.
Qin Fen frowned and said, "Then we just tolerate it? We are trying our best, but someone is secretly stumbling upon us."
"I said, this is within the scope of the rules. Joe Claire is very careful in doing things. He will not leave any trace that can be traced to him. Just like this time, it was pirates who attacked us. The reason is also normal, because We took away their meat tickets. Even if we all died, it would still be within the normal range. It was just a few mercenaries who died during the mission, and usually no one would care about this." Jiang An said coldly.
"I suddenly had a good idea." Lin Rui turned to Alpha and said, "That Joe, how much does he owe you?"
"A large amount of money." Alpha shrugged.
"If we complete this mission, then he will not only have to pay us a commission. Will you also ask him to pay back the money?" Lin Rui said with a slight smile.
"Of course, this is business. He doesn't even want to pay less interest. If he wants to pay, I have plenty of ways." Alpha shrugged.
Lin Rui nodded and said, "Then we will complete this mission. Let Joe Claire bleed some. Let him know that we are not easy to mess with."
"Yes, let him know that there is a price to pay for scheming against us." Ivan nodded.
Jiang An sneered, "I agree."
The armed pirate ship finally sailed back to Shendao. Lin Rui and others discovered that the boat originally prepared to pick them up was parked at the small pier of Shendao. There were a lot of bullet casings on the boat, and the stern was damaged in many places. It looked like it was really badly beaten. Otherwise Fernandez would not have returned like this.
Arriving at the base on the island, Fernandez was standing there with a gloomy look.
After Zhao Jianfei and others explained the general situation, Fernandez's expression softened slightly. He waved his hand to a guard and said, "Take that hostage back first and keep it under proper guard. Everyone else is coming to gather."
Fernandez looked at the assembled seven team members and other security personnel on the island. There were less than twenty people in total even with him. Fernandez looked gloomy and said, "Soldiers, we are in trouble. Eight hours ago, we were attacked in the predetermined sea area. This was a premeditated action. And there are indications that these attackers are likely to be more than satisfied with this. They will come again, come to Shendao, and kill us all. what should we do? "
"Evacuate or fight back, these are the two choices." Fernandez paced back and forth and shouted in a deep voice, "However, there is no hope of evacuation. It is even more dangerous on land than here! So my opinion is to stick to Shen Island. Relying on the advantageous terrain on the island, we can give them a resolute counterattack. Although they are a ragtag group, they are numerous and fearless of death."
Lin Rui looked at Fernandez silently, and it could be seen from his expression that he was very serious. For him to take it so seriously also means that this will be a fierce battle.
Qin Fen whispered from behind, "Is it really possible for those pirates to come to Shendao?"
"At least, Everya will definitely come." Lin Rui whispered. "We are on Shen Island. This is no secret. The pirates are very familiar with this sea area. If they want to find us, it will be easy for them. Joe Claire gave us this task just to get us into trouble. trouble."
Fernand shouted sternly there, "No matter who comes. We must let them come and go. However, I also want to explain that there are only eighteen of us, including me. Seven trained people C-class team members, and nine base defense personnel. There is also me, a retired veteran, and a cook in charge of food. The opponent may have a hundred people, or more than a few hundred people. Whether we can survive depends on what we can do. Do you want to defend this island?"
Everyone was silent, including Lin Rui, Zhao Jianfei and others. Because the difference in the number of personnel is too big. This meant they had to deal with pirates ten times their number. And it is very likely that these pirate ships will also have heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns and rocket launchers.
"Survival or destruction depends on our thoughts. If you insist on resisting, you may have a chance of survival, but if you give up, you will definitely die. Pirates will not be merciful to anyone." Fernandez said solemnly.
