"Bigger catch?" Alberta wondered. %し

"Yes, the Red Baron of the Order. It is highly likely that he was involved in this assassination attempt. If we can kill him, or catch him, it will be a heavy blow to the Order. Zhao Jianfei said slowly.

Alberta nodded, "Well, it would be best if it could." However, I would like to remind you that protecting your employer is the number one priority. I know a personal vendetta between you and the Red Baron, but it's best not to get in the way of the mission. ”

Zhao Jianfei was silent for a while, and said slowly, "I can distinguish between priorities and priorities." ”

"Alright, take your people with you. I'll arrange a qiē for you. Alberta nodded.

Before nightfall, Zhao Jianfei and all the members of the XCOM team were arranged in the Santuyak military junta's building. There, Lin Rui met a black man in a military uniform, who seemed to be very young, no more than forty years old at most. His name is Harlot, the younger brother of the late president, and the current commander-in-chief of the government forces in Santujak.

After figuring out the intentions of Zhao Jianfei and the others, Harlot shook his head, "There is no problem with my security and defense work, and you don't need to take over at the moment." ”

"Commander Harlot, I don't think you have figured out the situation yet. You'll not only have to deal with the rebels of the Liberation Alliance, but also another professional mercenary with great strength. They're good at infiltrating assassinations, and for now, you're their target. Zhao Jianfei said slowly, "Our protection for you is based on our contract, and we are ensuring the interests of the employer to the greatest extent." ”

"It's better to guarantee your own interests. Morningstar takes a share of our defense budget each year, and General Dunby is still alive today, and his rebel army is growing stronger. I can't even see what you've done?" said Harlot, grimacing.

"You and your family are still in control of the country. That's what we do for you. Zhao Jianfei said slowly, "And we will maintain this." ”

Harlot was silent for a moment. What Zhao Jianfei said is also the truth. A small country like theirs can indeed be easily subverted. Especially after his brother was attacked and killed, if it weren't for a group of loyal subordinates and the mercenaries of Morningstar, they quickly controlled the situation, pushed him to the forefront, and helped him firmly grasp the military initiative. The consequences are already unimaginable.

Zhao Jianfei looked at him and said slowly, "Of course we don't support you unconditionally, and we clearly write the conditions on the contract." We may be mercenary, but we are at least above board. So since the contract between Morningstar and you is still in place, then we are protecting you as well as protecting our own interests. I don't see anything wrong with you. ”

Harlot's face was cloudy, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "I can't accept this kind of incarceration protection. I still have a lot of work to do! There's a war ahead, and I can't hide behind a bunch of bodyguards. I must show my face in public and inspire our soldiers and people. And I have to do all kinds of public foreign affairs, and I want to make my voice heard by the whole world, so that they can understand that the war we are in is fighting against the forces of international terrorism. The times are difficult for the people of Santujak, and I have to ask for international assistance to keep them from starving to death. I have to do all this, do you understand?"

"Understood. Lin Rui nodded and said, "It's like a clash between two boxers." General Dunby as the challenger. I don't care about the image at all, I am extremely vicious and hideous. And you, the reigning champion of boxing, have in mind that you want not only to defeat him, but also to win good looks. Because in your opinion, you are the defending champion, and you have to win beautiful to appear face-worthy.

However, you seem to be overlooking the fact that you can also lose. No matter how chic your actions are, how handsome you look, and how noble your blood, the one who is knocked to the ground is the loser. And the losers are not qualified to talk about so-called beautiful victories. ”

"Do you mean I'm bragging?" Harlot's face sank.

"You're not bragging, you're trying to create a positive image of yourself, both nationally and internationally. After all, you have just come to power, and in order to gain a foothold, you must increase your exposure, which we fully understand. You want to show that you are a tough guy and that you have the courage and ability to protect your country at the same time. These are understandable, just like a new product exit, advertising is absolutely indispensable. But you have to be clear that once you die, these are meaningless and will become a laughing stock. Jiang An said slowly, "Trust us, you can have a better future." ”

Harlot's face turned a little ugly, and Shogishi's words were like a knife, mercilessly dissecting all the images he had tried so hard to maintain.

He wanted to be angry, but he sighed deeply and said, "Then what do you want me to do?

"It's completely unnecessary, you can do whatever you want, and we have no intention of interfering with your activities at all. You can continue to make public appearances, give speeches, hold press conferences, and meet with international aid organizations and foreign ambassadors. We have no opinion at all, what we are going to do is when you are doing this qiē activity at the same time. We are there for you anytime, anywhere. Make sure you don't lose your life to an assassination. Zhao Jianfei said slowly.

"No restrictions on movement, no interference with freedom. It's as simple as that?" said Harlot, suspiciously.

"It's as simple as that. And we want to know your itinerary and activity details in advance. Then you'll find that we have almost no impact on you. You don't even feel our save. Although we are right here with you, it is difficult for you to spot us. Zhao Jianfei said slowly.

"You say so nicely, but why should I believe you? A lot of my activities have a certain *nature, and I don't think it's a good idea for you to stare at me like this. Besides, I don't believe you can keep me safe any more than my personal guards. Harlot shook his head.

"Your personal guard?is that group of big guys I just saw outside?" Lin Rui said with a smirk.

"They are battle-hardened warriors who are absolutely loyal to me and my family. The main thing is that they have the ability to keep me safe. So I don't need you at all. Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need to. Harlot shook his head firmly.

"Then Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, how about we make a bet?" Lin Rui looked at the stubborn warlord leader and smiled slightly
