"Seriously, Boss Mo, that girl is that capable?" An African American man with oversized earrings exclaimed upon hearing this.
He was one of the potential recruits that Yang Xiaoyou had brought in. At the time of his recruitment, he was serving as a low-ranking Lurker in the French Foreign Legion, and his name was Lucas. He possessed exceptional close-combat skills and was proficient with knives, handguns, and submachine guns. His only flaw was his impulsiveness; otherwise, with his knife skills, he could have become an outstanding assassin.
In Yang Xiaoyou's memory, Lucas had fought alongside him multiple times. Unfortunately, during one mission, he lost his composure and rushed out from cover. When he was just two meters away from the enemy, he was shot in the knee and fell to the ground, ultimately being killed by a hail of bullets. During that chaotic moment, he managed to take down eight opponents with his handgun.
Thanks to Mo Wenfu's several operations with this group of fellows, his position in the company now ranked just below Yang Xiaoyou and Nobunaga Hideyoshi, rivaling even Noah's status.
"You should have noticed it too, Boss; otherwise, you wouldn't be asking me like this," Mo Wenfu said as he lit a cigarette, his expression slightly serious.
At his level, analyzing the impact of the situation required understanding the opponent's personality and predicting their moves. A fellow who acted unpredictably could be quite troublesome.
If one lacked the ability to play recklessly, they could easily defeat their opponent without lifting a finger. However, when faced with such unpredictable players, careful consideration was necessary; one misstep could lead to disaster, while overthinking could result in missing an opportunity for victory.
"This is indeed a troublesome situation. Currently, there is still a significant gap between us and HLI Company. By the way, Hideyoshi, arrange for someone to contact an external member and transfer some funds over," Yang Xiaoyou instructed after Nobunaga Hideyoshi finished a call regarding security.
"Funds? If there's new investment coming in, that would certainly ease our financial situation. Boss, why are you so keen on acquiring shares of that gaming company? Is it really that important?" Noah seized the opportunity to ask.
"Important—extremely important. Half of the incoming funds will be allocated to that company. Additionally, I need to hire some fellows I’ve learned about and secure another piece of land in Algeria. Given their current economic situation, I'm sure they would be willing to engage in such land transactions; however, we must ensure we can maintain control over it." After briefly explaining, Yang Xiaoyou shared the contact details with Nobunaga Hideyoshi.
Upon hearing that their boss intended to undertake so many initiatives, both Nobunaga Hideyoshi and Mo Wenfu exchanged glances that reflected their surprise; it seemed that the amount of money involved was greater than they had anticipated.
"One of the main points of my visit this time is to consolidate the Snake and Gustav groups within half a month. Their market shares in Algeria and Yemen show considerable potential, and coincidentally, they have also..." After providing a brief explanation, Yang Xiaoyou quickly got to the point. Given his consistently sound plans, no one present raised any further questions.
Upon hearing that these two enterprises were even larger than their own, the faces of the attendees lit up with eagerness. Each of them was an elite capable of standing on their own, and they had grown somewhat bored with merely dealing in fish and shrimp.
With Boss's arrival signaling a major operation, they began to rub their hands together in anticipation.
Before Yang Xiaoyou's arrival, there were more than ten alternative targets set. The choice of the Snake and Gustav arms groups was primarily based on intelligence obtained from Hank, indicating that both groups had been making significant moves recently.
Gustav had mobilized nearly all its resources to protect a substantial transaction with a warlord in Algeria, while Snake had dispatched over half its members for a deal in Yemen.
The urgency of these two arms groups to take on such large transactions stemmed from a previous severe blow dealt by Hank, which had nearly left them out of resources.
Regarding Hank's capabilities, Yang Xiaoyou discovered after stripping him down to his shorts that he possessed considerable talent in those aspects. He could strike at the heart of the gray and black forces each time, hitting just hard enough to push them to their limits without triggering a backlash.
Seizing the opportunity when they were vulnerable, Yang Xiaoyou's focus naturally shifted to these two enterprises that were currently much larger than Wasp.
Once the overall direction was confirmed, the next step was to act swiftly. Yang Xiaoyou took Noah and some members to Algeria, while Mo Wenfu led another group to Yemen.
Due to time constraints, they opted for the most direct approach: eliminating all opposing forces as much as possible. They planned a robbery to seize goods, showcasing their strength before contacting the original partners of these enterprises. They would then negotiate to expand their channels and could offer to share some profits if necessary.
Additionally, funds acquired from Hank could be temporarily used to absorb the extended influence of these two enterprises. The task of coordinating with Hank for fund transfers and arranging personnel into his intelligence network was entrusted to Nobunaga Hideyoshi, who remained behind.
"Boss, do we really want to get involved in this murky situation in Algeria? Our main warehouse and Hive Security training camp are both located there, and we've already received several warnings from surrounding warlords," said a boy who appeared only about fifteen or sixteen years old, looking somewhat frail compared to Yang Xiaoyou.
The fellow's name was Fein. Before being found by Yang Xiaoyou, he was just an ordinary pickpocket, struggling to support a few younger siblings. He admired Yang Xiaoyou immensely for granting him such a wonderful life. In Yang Xiaoyou's memory, Fein was completely specialized in various types of knives—daggers, bayonets, and even blades. His firearms skills were only average, but compared to that black man Lucas, he was much calmer and more restrained.
While he couldn't match Lucas in direct combat abilities, his assassination and stealth skills were unparalleled. He was an outstanding assassin, though it was unfortunate that in Yang Xiaoyou's memory, Fein had received a mission to eliminate him and ended up being killed by his own hand. Fein's nimble hands left a deep impression on him.
"That's precisely why I need to intervene. If we can't even guarantee safety at the front door of our hometown, how can we proceed?" At this point, a hint of a smile appeared on Yang Xiaoyou's face.
Algeria was a country that emerged from French colonial rule, but at this time, it was internally divided into warring factions due to external forces. This situation was common across much of Africa, except for the colonies still under British control.
The reason Yang Xiaoyou chose to establish the most basic training camp and warehouse here was based on his memories; in a few years, Algeria would be unified under a warlord who had leveraged French power.
Currently, the interests between nations were completely intertwined, but it was perfectly fine to take advantage of this situation and make early investments for future gains.
However, before taking action, he needed to deal with that tail first; otherwise, their movements would likely be difficult to conceal under the opponent's intelligence and analysis.
Last night at two o'clock, there were sounds of trucks unloading outside until seven in the morning.
