Chapter 244: Retrenchment
In the port of Cape Town in July, the weather is not good. Lin Rui woke up in a burst of thunder, and he looked out the window a little tiredly. It's another rainy day. He's been off for almost a week, although he has to do three hours of physical training a day to stay in top shape.
Moderate relaxation is necessary, however slackness and excessive relaxation are the most dangerous enemies for mercenaries. Because you never know what you're going to face tomorrow.
Therefore, Lin Rui is like a precise machine, resting on time, eating on time, and exercising his body almost strictly. Because he knows that in this mercenary career, the only thing he can rely on is his own skills and extraordinary reflexes. He didn't want to be sluggish because of slackness.
So even on his days off, he would toss himself up and sweat all over. At the Africa Division, it is not uncommon to see this physically strong-looking Chinese running around the camp carrying training sandbags. But no one dared to laugh at this Chinese, everyone knew that he once beat the most powerful hand-to-hand combat expert Tagore to the ground. That fight, which took place in the underground heavens, is still hotly debated today.
After Lin Rui finished a full lap, he returned to the room tiredly, only to find Ivan standing at the door waiting for him.
"You," Lin Rui said with a slight frown.
"Put on your clothes and come with me, the silver wolf wants to see us. Ivan whispered to him.
Lin Rui's expression moved slightly, "Could it be that something happened again?"
"I don't know, but I've never seen him take it so seriously. Ivan whispered, "If something happens, it must be a big deal." Let's go. ”
Lin Rui nodded, grabbed a piece of clothing casually, followed Ivan upstairs, and hurriedly came to the conference room.
In the conference room, almost all the team members were gathered here. Surprisingly, even the Black Panther Guray was there. The head of the African branch, who has not been idle since he took office, rarely appears here.
Lin Rui keenly sensed that something big might happen.
The silver wolf glanced up at them and said calmly, "Sit down." Lin Rui and Ivan found a chair and sat down, calmly waiting for the silver wolf Michelle to speak.
"According to the latest news, since yesterday afternoon, the headquarters of Morningstar has submitted an official report to the South African side, in which it has denied the existence of the African branch. This means that the African branch of Zài, which has existed since the establishment of Morningstar, has been laid off by the company. Moreover, no one was informed of the whole process. It's just a piece of paperwork from the company's headquarters. ”
"The abolition of the African branch is not possible, and the business share of the African branch accounts for at least one-third of the entire Morningstar company's turnover. It is the largest money-making region outside of the Middle East, how could the company suddenly have such a decision, and this kind of decision, shouldn't it be notified in advance to Guray, who is the head of the branch?" Ivan said in surprise.
"But that's how strange things are, and without a clear notice, the entire African branch of the fund account was suddenly frozen. The South African authorities have also been contacted, and to be precise, we are now classified as illegal armed forces that have not been registered with the Military Security Corporation. Black Panther Guray said lightly. "And we can't get in touch with the chief, so it's clear that there's something wrong with Morningstar. ”
"There is a satellite line between the board members, so even Michelle can't contact the CEO," Jiang Kishi suddenly interjected.
"Yes. Not only could they not be contacted. I also received a notification that Gourley and I were going back to Morningstar headquarters in Baltimore immediately. Discuss the abolition of the African Division. The silver wolf said lightly, "This qiē seems very unusual. ”
"This is really unusual, it doesn't seem to be the same way the company used to do things. What exactly does the CEO want to do?"
"I'm afraid it's not what he wants to do, it's what someone uses him to do. Silver Wolf said slowly, "The CEO's health is not optimistic. I suspect something has happened to him, and the company is no longer under his control. ”
"How could the general have absolute authority in Morningstar, he is the chief executive officer. Ivan frowned.
"That's exactly what I suspected. Because if he had been sane, he would never have made such a decision to dismantle the entire African branch. Silver Wolf frowned and explained.
At that moment, his phone rang suddenly. The silver wolf was slightly stunned, his mobile phone looked no different from ordinary mobile phones, but as Tong Jiang'an said, this is indeed a real satellite line. It is a phone without a fixed number, and ordinary people can't call at all. And the silver wolf looked at the Arabic numerals displayed on his mobile phone, and his face suddenly became extremely solemn.
He picked up his phone and showed it to the panther Guray. As soon as Ghuray saw the red Arabic numeral "2" displayed on his mobile phone, his face turned extremely ugly. Apparently he also knew who the "2" stood for. A person who shouldn't have contacted them here and now at all, and once this person contacted the silver wolf, it must mean an extremely strict incident.
Silver Wolf answered the phone, "Hey. ”
"Old wolf, it's me. Don't ask any questions, listen to me. The voice on the phone was familiar, but there was a faint sense of unfamiliarity. But the silver wolf knew who this man was. He immediately said in a deep voice, "Yes, you say." ”
Joe and other board members have sued Morningstar, and the general is under house arrest. You and Guray will also be in a dangerous situation. Because Joe is ready to declassify some of the black files of the past and hand them over to the American side. Most of these files are dirty work, so that means you will be charged with multiple war crimes. You can't go back to U.S. headquarters again. The voice on the other end of the line was calm and heavy, "And I guess they're going to ask you to be Baltimore." You'd better not fall into the trap. ”
"But why should the conflict between Joe and me be managed? How could he suddenly turn his face, and decrypting the old files would not be of the slightest benefit to Morningstar, and would even affect the entire company. Morningstar Military will face a military qualification review and a Department of Defense security investigation. The silver wolf frowned.
"Conflict can be controlled, but ambition cannot be suppressed. You know this better than I do. "I think they will definitely dismantle the African branch and declare you illegal armed forces without a registered license." The South African side will soon take action to expel you. It's still light. You will even be arrested for war crimes and extradited back to the United States. ”
"These damn noon, how are you now" Calm as a silver wolf, there will be times when it is difficult to suppress anger
