Chapter 101: The Secret Society
The light shining from the crystal light room always seems to be particularly bright and brilliant. = The brilliant lights of Morningstar's corporate headquarters were shining on everyone's faces in the conference room, perhaps because of the lights, everyone's faces looked a little cold. A particularly large round conference table with twelve people seated. It was these twelve people who jointly managed the affairs of this large military company.
Some of them are famous, while others are unknown. Some are top experts in military security, while others are wealthy businessmen. Some have extremely sophisticated and secretive military backgrounds, while others are mere businessmen. But they are all members of the board of directors of Morningstar, and because there are twelve people in total, they are also called "twelve".
The chief of the twelve seats was an old man known as the General. He was quite old, but he still sat in a standard military sitting position. And no one dared to despise the authority of this old man. He was dressed in a suit, but instead of a cane, he held a scepter.
It is an antique scepter, like the one worn by the military governors of some modern European countries. The old man slammed the scepter on the mirror-like conference table, and the other eleven were silent, and they all felt the old man's anger. He hadn't been so angry in years.
"I think you already know about the European Division!" the old man looked coldly at everyone present, "Morningstar has never encountered such a thing since its founding! Dozens of employees were killed in battle, and a helicopter was shot down. None of this is the main thing, the main thing is that it is not clear who the other side really is. This is the real shame!"
The conference room was silent, everyone didn't dare to say a word, and some even oozed sweat from their foreheads.
"Gentlemen, this is no longer a business dispute. This is war!" the old man said slowly, "Someone is declaring war on us in this way!"
"General, there is no organization at the moment that claims responsibility for this series of events. And we have no evidence yet that which military organization is targeting us. Therefore, it is too early to conclude that the conflict is caused by a business dispute. One of the directors whispered.
"Joke! Somebody shoots you and says he didn't hit you. Do you still believe him?" said the general coldly. "Although there is no evidence yet, the professionalism and clarity of these attacks suggest that this is not a local force, but a team of mercenaries. Doesn't that tell?" the general turned to Michelle the Silver Wolf, who was sitting in the third seat, "Come on." ”
Michelle nodded and stood up, and he turned on the LCD screen in the conference room. I put a memory card in it and started playing the video. This video is supposed to have been recorded by a battlefield recorder on a tactical helmet. The shooting was very unstable, because the fighter wearing the helmet was constantly moving, so the camera was shaking everywhere. The picture is not so clear, but a group of soldiers in blue-gray uniforms still vaguely appear.
"Stop!" the general said, waving his hand, "these are the people, zoom in on the picture." ”
Michelle enlarged the image a bit, and shook his head, "We tracked down this video as soon as we got it, but we found that this person seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, and there was no basis for finding it, whether it was them personally, or their weapons and equipment, we couldn't find it." ”
"Can't find it?" Another board member, Joe said coldly, "How could you not find out?" As far as I know, you have a relationship with many mercenary forces. There are also your eyes and ears everywhere, as long as you are willing to check to the end, you can always find out. ”
Michelle said lightly, "Your relationship is more complicated than mine. Not even between mercenaries, do you want me to be clearer?"
Joe stared at Michelle but didn't speak.
"That's enough, I'm not here to listen to your quarrel and tell me the right thing!" said the general with a calm face.
Michelle nodded, "But I'm not without it. After speaking, he changed a picture and said to the rest of the people, "You come to see this person." He pointed to a realistic figure on the LCD screen. The battlefield recorder still didn't capture it very clearly, and the man was a little blurry, but he could still tell that he was wearing a red hood on his head.
"What is this?" said Joe, frowning.
"This is the man who was involved not only in the attack on our two temporary sites, but also in the assassination of Alberta. And again in today's battle. This person is accustomed to using QB88 Eq. 5. An 8mm sniper rifle, a sniper expert. During several operations, he wore his trademark red hood. Michelle said slowly, "My people have done some relevant intelligence gathering work and recorded the activities of this suspected person. ”
After speaking, he changed another picture, "This is some military operations that were discovered in the Middle East two years ago and are suspected of being involved in this person." Here are some of the recent events in Africa. From this we can clearly find the pattern, this mysterious military organization has existed for a long time. At least five years or more. It's just that all along, their actions have been very secretive and low-key. Not many people ever noticed them. ”
"It's ridiculous, such an armed force. How do they have to hide so that they don't go unnoticed? I looked closely, and the events listed in your photos are all related to some known private military companies, and some are even related to extremist groups. Do you want to say that these private military companies and extremist groups have joined forces against us?
"That's where they are smart. These people have always been in various military and security companies or armed groups, but more often than not, they use them to hide their identities. Even if someone were to track it down, it would only be possible to trace it to other military organizations, and it would be difficult to trace their actual organization. And the military organization to which they actually belong has not yet surfaced. And now this mysterious organization is ready to appear. Michelle said calmly.
"Why do you say that?" said the general, frowning slightly, "don't tell me to speculate, I want to base it." ”
"There is a basis that this man in the red hood is not the first time we have come into contact with it. Michelle said in a deep voice, "This person even took control of the Free Mercenary Group through Guò Gross for a time, and became the real mastermind behind the scenes. The Gemini incident that year was planned by him. I have contacted some channels and have fully confirmed the news. And the name of this mysterious military organization is already known - the Secret Society. ”
