    Kuai Ma explained, ¡°At the end of the War of Independence in 1783, Britain recognized the independence of the 13 colonies. However, it was not until 1787 that the U.S. Constitution was adopted and a federal state was established. It was not until 1803 to 1959 that the territories were made through purchases and wars.  Constantly expanding. Is it similar to the current model?"

    "It's somewhat similar. First of all, Balmain has been recognized as independent by the United Kingdom. But so far they have not become an independent country. Another similarity is that there are some small colonies with the same background around them, although all of them are very different.  At first glance. But if the secret society controls Balmain and establishes an independent country, it is difficult to say that other small colonies with similar backgrounds will not respond.

    Even if they don¡¯t respond, the secret society can still encourage them through bribery and other means.  You must know that some areas are still under the control of tribal leaders and other warlord forces.  The secret societies have many ways to deal with these people.  "Nightingale replied.

    "The previous Gomez coup was to eliminate some influential local warlords and bureaucrats and prepare to replace them. Now that Gomez is dead, they can better control the area." Lin Rui speculated  said, "But why here? Balmain is a very poor area. Why did they choose this place?"

    "There are no truly poor places in Africa, and Balmain is no different. Various minerals and oil are actually very resource-rich areas. They have accumulated enough experience in this regard when they were in the Orumi Federation." Nightingale shook  Shake his head.

    After Lin Rui thought for a while, he whispered, "I know they have a big plan in Balmain, but I don't know what the content is yet. Maybe there will be answers in those encrypted messages. But Cobain needs time to decipher it.

    Without the support of further information, there is no point in dwelling on this issue at this time.  We'd better follow the plan and send the observation team away first.  "

    "I agree." Kuai Ma nodded.

    Lin Rui turned to Nightingale, "What about you? What other plans do you have?"

    "There is no plan. We lost a lot of people before, but now these few people you see are all members of the intelligence team." Nightingale sighed.  "Is your previous invitation still valid?"

    "Of course, we are short of people like you." Lin Rui nodded, "In addition to the Horus team, I have always hoped to have a professional intelligence team that collects information about secret societies. You can join if you are willing.  We, I can set up a new department for you in the company and leave it all to you."

    "Okay, I'll join." Nightingale nodded and shook hands with Lin Rui.  At this point, the Israeli intelligence team has officially joined Trident Company.

    After sending the members of the observation team back to each other, Lin Rui found Linda and reported to her about the mission.

    "So, those dot missiles really showed up?" Linda frowned.

    "Yes. The only pity is that we couldn't catch them on the spot." Lin Rui replied, "But it is an indisputable fact that the secret society is operating in Balmain."

    "This is also what we expected. But what to do next has to be decided by the higher ups. You didn't do things clean enough this time, so you can only say that you completed half of the task." Linda shook her head and said, "So  We can only pay half the price. But maybe you are willing to accept other assignments."

    "Half of the remuneration is fine, no problem." Lin Rui nodded.  "However, I won't be involved in your kind of stuff anymore in the near future."

    "What do you want to do?" Linda asked.

    "Take a rest and vacation." Lin Rui said without looking back.  Lin Rui took his people back to the Lake Victoria base that day.  Of course he didn't come back for a fishing vacation, he came to see Cobain's progress.

    It has been several days since Cobain last obtained the encrypted information, but so far, there has been no progress.

    Seeing Lin Rui coming back, Cobain shook his head at him, "The things you brought back this time used a special encryption algorithm. We have never seen anything like it. Apart from brute force cracking, there is probably no better way.  But brute force cracking requires a lot of computational trial and error, which is very time-consuming.¡±

    "How is the current situation?" Lin Rui walked into the office of the technical department and asked.

    "We haven't gotten the results yet. It will take at least a week. This is already our fastest speed." Cobain replied.

    "Even if we wait another week, are you sure that all the internal data can be restored?" Lin Rui asked.

    "It's hard to say." Cobain thought for a while, "Due to the special algorithm mechanism, even if we recover these data, we estimate that we can only recover about 70% at most."

    &to remove illegal immigrants and reduce military support and financial aid from France.  The reduction of France's military presence in Africa came about in this context.

    As the fight against terrorism in the Sahel and other regions becomes protracted, localized and complicated, France is increasingly unwilling to be held back by such endless military operations that waste people and money, while African countries are beginning to complain more and more  When the French army is active, it "takes the spotlight" or when it is passive, it "does not contribute much."

    This directly led to the "speeding up" of France's withdrawal.  France's accelerated troop withdrawal has in turn exacerbated tensions between France and its hosts, forming a vicious cycle.

    In the past 12 months, two military coups have occurred in Mali and neighboring Burkina Faso. The situation in Niger has also been turbulent. Relations between the governments of France and Chad have also tended to deteriorate. Four of the five countries hosting the "Barchan Dunes" have  Relations with France became tense.

    Because France was "fighting one faction after another" in the changes in the local political situation, and tried to go beyond the EU to make independent judgments and conclusions on the regime changes in these countries, triggering strong resistance from the governments and opposition parties in these countries, Mali turned to the "Wagner" with a Russian background.  "Mercenary groups, Burkina Faso and Niger continue to erupt in anti-French demonstrations.

    It was France¡¯s unilateral entry and exit based on the principle of self-interest that caused African countries, which had to suddenly face a mess alone, to seek medical treatment urgently. Even ¡°Wagner¡± with a poor reputation did not refuse.

    In fact, since the fall of the "Germany of Azawa", France's counter-terrorism gains in the Sahel region have indeed been disproportionate to its investment: after 10 years of counter-terrorism, it has lost about 40% of the territory of Burkina Faso and about 40% of the territory of Mali.  Fifty percent is still in the hands of various terrorist organizations and "local snakes".  "The more we fight against terrorism, the more we fight against terrorism." It's no wonder that no one is satisfied.

    At the same time, France¡¯s military budget growth has been very limited.  The French Minister of Defense believes that France will need at least 410 billion euros in military spending from 2024 to 2030. The military even believes that if it is less than 430 billion euros, it will be "unable to survive."  The "vision" given by the Minister of Economy and Finance was only a "significant increase" to 377 billion euros during this period.

    With a limited budget, France¡¯s military presence in Africa has coincidentally become the ¡°Eastern Wall¡± that is destined to be demolished first, and is destined to trigger a series of chain reactions.  Of course, this is not what the French and others like to see, but things have priorities, and they can't care about that much now.

    ¡°But this is out-and-out good news for Lin Rui and his Trident Company.  This means that the business of private military companies in Africa will become more intense as the French retreat.

    But at the same time, they also ushered in a new opponent, the Wagner Group-a mercenary group with a Russian background.  Notorious, dangerous and feared.  In just a few years, it has built a network of impenetrable mercenaries that now fight primarily in Africa and the Middle East.

    Defining the Wagner Group is not easy, and the legal gray area in which it operates makes the task even more difficult.  Russian law prevents the group from officially registering in the country, but its status is more ambiguous than that of other similar mercenary groups.

    It does not appear to exist as a single entity, but more like a network of different, overlapping groups operating around the world.

    The withdrawal of the French army and the entry of a powerful mercenary group.  The situation in Africa has become even more confusing.

    Actuary Jiang An, who was sensitive to the situation, immediately found Lin Rui.  A separate two-hour briefing was given on the matter.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
