"The wind is blowing...... "Benoit shook the glass in his hand, and the smoky whiskey and ice cubes collided gently in the glass. Ordinary people are still lamenting the horror of the war in the Middle East at this time, but Benoit and others are lamenting the horror of the coming storm.

Fortunately, this is not their war, and Benoit can quietly watch them fight each other to the end. Of course, Benoit and the Legion couldn't come forward to pick up the bargain. The Legion is no longer the large paramilitary organization that once prevented tens of thousands of troops from traveling to the Middle East.

It is now able to maintain a certain influence in Europe, and even to control France faintly. This is already their limit. To expand, that is, to find death. The first thing that can't accommodate them is the service provider. Although as a director, the service provider is willing to provide a lot of convenience to the legion.

However, these conveniences are maintained in the case of a certain degree of parity between the two sides, if the clan tries to become an order of magnitude beyond the reach of the service provider. Then even if the service provider is unwilling, the other directors will react. A balance that holds each other back, albeit fragile.

But this is the best model to ensure the long-term interests of everyone. Five, keep an odd number. Even if the other four negotiate with the other, they will face the suppression of three. Basically, unless everyone has made an improvement in strength and continues to reach new checks and balances. Otherwise, any attempt to upset the balance will lead to the discouragement or even destruction of several others.

"Your Excellency Legion Commander, do we need to do something?!" One was tall and wore a slim-fitting suit that was almost tight. The man with short blonde hair asked softly as he stood beside Benoit. This is Benoit's study.

There is no change from the last time Hou Dasheng came. Benoit lay back in his big chair and said softly, "Frank, this is not a war that we can get involved in. Got it?! Don't try to profit from it, all we have to do is wait quietly for the war to end. Guard your own portal......"

The young man named Frank was obviously unconvinced, and Benoit smiled and sighed lightly: "When I was young, I was a little unconvinced like you. I think that every time there is a war, it is the best time for us to grow stronger. Why can't you move. ”

"The old people at that time told me that you would understand later. I think it's because they're getting old. But when I sat in my current position, I saw a lot of things clearly. Benoit sighed and said softly: "A lot of times, it's not that I don't want to move. It's not ...... you can't do anything."

But Benoit stood up, walked up to Frank and patted him on the shoulder: "We have all found out that we may be able to profit from this war, can't the service provider find out?!" What about the Holy See? What about Zion? The jackals are forced to get involved, or they have always been one of the protagonists......"

"Their value is greater than ours. They take the route of force, they are swords. Swords break easily, but good swords are needed. Especially walking in the dark forest. Anyone needs a good sword to protect themselves. ”

As he spoke, Benoit walked to the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a wine glass in one hand and the other behind his back, looking at the dark night outside the window: "No one dares to move, there is a reason." As long as we get involved, the first thing that will happen to either side will win is to clean up our ......."

"The service providers, Zion and the Holy See, discovered this problem early on. They may even compromise with each other first and join forces to crush us to death first. And then continue their war. As he spoke, Benoit turned to look at Frank: "In the war between lions, it must be the lions who can participate." If the wolf wants a piece of the pie, the best way is to help the winner clean up the scene and solve the hidden danger after separating the winner from the winner. And not to go out in person, trying to tear a piece of meat off the lion. That's going to be fatal. ”

Frank was obviously very unconvinced, and said with his head held high: "Your Excellency Legion Commander, why can the jackal be able to get involved?!" They're just like us, but they're board members. Why are they able to mix?! Why can't we?! ”

"If you've ever known the history of jackals, you'll know why." Benoit looked at Frank with a wry smile and said in a low voice: "You know that the jackal has been established from the beginning to the director of the service provider. And now challenge to become the weakest lion in the pack, have they experienced anything along the way?! ”

Benoit said, exhaling deeply: "From the initial head of the regiment to the current head of the regiment. More than fifteen regimental commanders died in the entire jackal, and the jackals faced annihilation eight times. More than ten times almost scattered. In the worst case, they disappeared for five years before reappearing. ”

"Instead, it's other mercenary groups, or even legions. It may have disintegrated a long time ago, and even if it hadn't disintegrated, it wouldn't dare to challenge the lions anymore. But they were still trying to get closer to the lions. And the death of generations of regiment leaders has made them begin to figure out some patterns. This law is the rule. ”

Benoit sat down slowly on the couch and drank the wine in his glass. Frank picked up the bottle and poured wine into Benoit's glass. Two ice cubes were placed at the same time. Benoit smiled with satisfaction, this was the next generation of legion successors he had trained.

At the same time, there are three other people who are cultivated. They are in competition with each other, and Benoit is the one who is most optimistic about this Frank. The biggest advantage of the young man is his drive. At the same time, there is caution and listening to opinions. As long as he thinks what you say is reasonable, then he will not hesitate to carry it out.

"Rules are rules. The rule is how much weight you sacrifice in exchange for how much weight. The jackal once sacrificed himself in exchange for the position of director. We have to give them this position, and this is an account for them. It is also an account to others who are with us. ”

Benoit leaned back on the sofa, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Any organization, if it wants to continue, must ensure that its upward channel is smooth. If the bottom layer has no channel to stretch upwards. Well, this means that there will be no new blood injection into the organization, and there will be no injection of good talent. The organization will gradually decay until it dies. ”

"The first organization to face this problem was the investor. Therefore, they planned a selection system very early. This system can be called cruel, at least I don't want to be caught in this system......" Benoit said with a wry smile: "But this selection system has perfectly allowed investors to run to this day." ”

"Of course, they've tweaked the system along the way. However, the core model of absorbing only the best investment objects has not changed. This system was once introduced by the Holy See. But it is a pity that the Holy See that originally used this system was almost able to fight against investors. In the end, the system was abandoned because of the interests of some people. And then they failed......"

If it were someone else, they wouldn't have understood what Benoit was talking about. But Frank knew exactly what Benoit was talking about. Originally, the highest seat of the Holy See was also selected. But then it was gradually controlled by those big families. As a result, talent output and enterprising gradually fell into disadvantage.

Many of the families that held the Holy See were also gradually declining. Investors and their most successful investors have been fighting for hundreds of years. The Holy See was ultimately defeated by its own mistakes. And those who were rejected by the Holy See formed a new force. That's what a service provider is. And the Legion.

What is different is that initially the Legion was on the side of the Holy See. But they were betrayed by the Holy See. This betrayal made the legion finally choose to stand on the opposite side of the Holy See. At one time, the most active blows to the Holy See were the forces of the Legion. The pit viper was also established during that time period.

But Frank doesn't understand these histories. Benoit also learned these facts from some of his family's records. The Holy See's crackdown on heresy has always been very cruel. Europe can't stay any longer, and it's not easy for the heretics who survive to escape the hunt.

The weaker ones would have been killed a long time ago. The tough ones hid through some special channels. This channel is the service provider. The pit viper was established during that time period. And the pit viper was originally founded to fight against the Holy See. But the person who controls the pit viper is not the service provider. At that time, it was the investors who controlled the pit viper.

With the connivance of the service providers, the core of the Holy See has almost all been wiped out. After the Knights were betrayed, they were almost crushed under these attacks, no matter how strong they could be. It was also at that stage that pit vipers began to temper their characteristics in doing things.

That is to make the target die like an accident. With the intelligence support of service providers, plus their own poisons and striking skills from "heretics". It wasn't difficult for them to accomplish this. Of course, gradually becoming professional killers, they began to specialize in this area.

After all, this is the foundation of their survival. Many secret books are now only circulating inside the pit viper. Even as a director of the service provider, Benoit doesn't know much about pit vipers. They have their own system, and they are more collaborative with service providers. Service providers do not have the right to order them directly.

"Kid, you just need to know one thing: watch this time well. You can learn a lot. Benoit picked up his glass and took a sip, "Trust me, it's very important for your future. Leave aside the assembled men, and let them go. Those who want to go, don't care. ”

But Benoit smiled and said, "This is just the right time to make our legion a little purer." ”
