Arms starts with hyenas in the Middle East

Chapter 536 Sumiyoshi Society

Anyway, the gangs in the island country already have this business, so there is no reason for him to leave the ready-made labor force unused. Moreover, if he gets goods from the gangs in the island country, even if something goes wrong, the Umbrella Company will not be involved.

Everything was done by the gangs. What does it have to do with our Umbrella Corporation?
We are a regular pharmaceutical company!

At Kyoto Haneda Airport, a Boeing 787 taking off from Abu Dhabi lands and taxis on the runway.

This time when he came to the island country, besides Simon, his old brother who had always been taciturn, Sean was accompanied by his secretary Lin Ke, and four members of the "Guardian Angel" team including Gabriel. However, this was only on the surface, while secretly, fifty EX-stg silent stealth multi-purpose helicopters took off, carrying a total of three scientific research teams and two newly formed troops.

The Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service, or UBCS for short, is a force specifically responsible for responding to biochemical crisis incidents. It currently has a total of 96 people.

And another Umbrella Special Operations Force, whose full English name is Umbrella Special Service, abbreviated as USS force, is specifically responsible for external operations and eliminating opponents. It currently has a total of 200 people.

Both armies were led by Sergei Vladimir, the supreme commander.

With these two forces, the entire island country will not have any difficulties for Umbrella Corporation.

Compared with the United States, Sean's attitude towards the island country is simpler and more brutal. He believes that whoever is obedient will be kept, and whoever is disobedient will be directly cloned and replaced. Clones have flaws, but they are not serious.

The island country is different from the beautiful country. There are too many complicated forces in the beautiful country, and replacing a few people cannot solve the key problems at all. The island country is relatively simpler. There are a total of six capitals: Mitsubishi Group, Mitsui Group, Sumitomo Group, Fuji Group, Sanwa Group, and Dai-ichi Kangyo Group.

It can be said that these six capitals control 60% of the economy of the entire island country. What does 60% of the economy mean?
This means that these six major conglomerates control the lifeline of the entire country. As long as they are willing, the emperor can abdicate at any time, and the prime minister will have to resign immediately!

The entire island nation is ruled by these six countries, which is much more perverted than the United States. If the United States is the most successful capitalist country, then the island nation is one of the countries with the most rampant capitalism. The other one is called the Kimchi Country.

In the island country, some people may say that gangs are rampant. This is true. After all, there is only one country in the world that can legalize and formalize gangs. Of course, they are not called gangs, but Yakuza, also known as violent groups.

However, there are nearly 3,000 so-called violent gangs, large and small. The largest organizations, the Yamaguchi-gumi, the Sumiyoshi-kai, the Tokyo-gumi, and the Inagawa-kai, are nothing more than dogs of the six major conglomerates.

The Yamaguchi-gumi is backed by the Mitsubishi Group, the Sumiyoshi-kai is backed by the Mitsui Group, the Tokyo-gumi is backed by the Dai-ichi Kanyomi Group, the Inagawa-kai is backed by the Sumitomo Group, and the rest of the well-known gangs are all backed by a group of foundations. Those that do not have the support of a foundation can either only eat soup at the bottom and never get any good things, or they have to rely on larger gangs.

If these unknown gangs really produce a figure someday and continue to expand their gang, then their ultimate outcome will be that they will be spotted by a certain consortium and then supported. But what if they are unwilling to accept the consortium's support?
Many gang leaders died inexplicably, and one more or one less would not make too many.

Sean's RFG Group happened to have cooperated with the Mitsui Group before, and the cooperation in the Middle East has not been disconnected. Naturally, Sumiyoshi-kai was the first partner of Umbrella Corporation.

The current head of the Mitsui Group, Mitsui Shige, and the head of the Mitsui family, who controls the Mitsui Group, have had their genetic samples secretly obtained by Sean's people. Not only the Mitsui family, but also the head of the Iwasaki family of the Mitsubishi Group, Iwasaki Taro, the head of the Sumitomo family of the Sumitomo Group, Sumitomo Furuo, the head of the Yasuda family of the Fuji Group, Yasuda Ryuji, Kawakatsu Senji of the Sanwa Group, and Ishibashi Nakata of Itochu Corporation of the Dai-ichi Kangyo Group.

Whenever Sean needs help, if there is a company that cannot cooperate, he will initiate a replacement plan to achieve his goal.

Outside the airport, a fleet of luxury cars had already been parked. A woman in a professional suit and a tight skirt was holding a sign and looking inside the airport. The word "Sean" was written in Chinese on the sign. When she saw Sean and others coming out of the VIP channel, her eyes lit up and she quickly walked over to greet them.

"こんにちは、ショーンさんですか."

(Japanese: Hello, are you Mr. Sean?)
The woman bowed deeply and asked Sean.

"It's me, let's go."

Sean nodded.

"Okay, please follow me."

After receiving a positive answer, the woman made a gesture of invitation and then led Sean and others into the car.

Ginza (Japanese: ぎんざ; English: Ginza) is a major commercial district in the central district of Tokyo, Japan. It is known as "the most expensive place in Asia", symbolizing the prosperity of the island country and famous for its high-end shopping stores. It is home to famous brands from all over the world, with giant shopping malls lining both sides of the street, and fashionable and personalized clothing everywhere. It can be regarded as a shopper's paradise.

There are restaurants from various countries including Italy, France, and Arabia near the street. People can taste delicacies from all over the world on this street.

Ginza is divided into Ginza 8-chome (similar to the Chinese word "street") to Ginza 17-chome. Ginza -chome and Ginza -chome are separated by Harumi Street, and all chome are connected by Chuo-dori. The first store was opened here in the early th century, and then a prosperous commercial district was formed between the Shinbashi and Kyobashi bridges, becoming one of the representative areas of the east of the capital, and also the most representative, largest and most prosperous commercial district in the island country.

Ginza, one of the three major scenic spots (Mount Fuji, Kyoto, and Ginza) that symbolize the island nation's nature, history, and modernity, is ranked as one of the world's three most prosperous centers along with the Champs-Elysees in Paris and Fifth Avenue in New York.

Ginza has wide sidewalks on both sides. On weekends, vehicles are prohibited from passing through, and it becomes a crowded pedestrian commercial street.

At this time, the building of Umbrella Pharmaceuticals has officially started operations. In order to avoid attracting attention, the lowest-level employees here are almost all local people from the island country. However, from the middle-level managers onwards, they are all clones, mostly blond-haired and blue-eyed Europeans and Americans, with only a few Asians occasionally.

At this time, in the reception room of Umbrella Pharmaceuticals, the current president of Sumiyoshi-kai, Haru Fukuda, had already been waiting here. As the president of Sumiyoshi-kai, he was the most direct support target of the Mitsui Group. Naturally, he did not dare to neglect Sean, a big shot who cooperated with his boss, and he was not the kind of otaku who turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside.

The news that RFG Group became a member of LHG was a hot topic all over the world. He was naturally well aware of who Sean was. Even if Sean had not cooperated with Mitsui Group, he would not hesitate to approach them to seek cooperation. Umbrella Pharmaceuticals had just come to the island country to open a company and a factory, and anyone who was interested knew that Umbrella Pharmaceuticals was affiliated with RFG Group. What was the main business of RFG Group?

Arms!
It's arms, it's PMC!

Their gang's demand for this is not great, or even nonexistent. After all, over the years, their Sumiyoshi-kai has naturally had its own arms supply chain. The quantity they want is not much, and they are all light weapons. More importantly, it is unknown how often they will use them on a small scale. Pistols are probably the most commonly used weapon. If they ever use submachine guns in a gunfight, it would be considered a major event.

Not to mention the PMC, they are just a violent group, not a military organization, not a rebel army, and they have no desire to overthrow the regime, and have absolutely no need for it.

But this did not stop him from approaching and making friends with Sean and Umbrella Pharmaceuticals. Even if there was no demand, he had to create it.

If Sean's RFG Group is willing to give support to the Sumiyoshi-kai, then perhaps the Sumiyoshi-kai will be able to take advantage of the situation and grow to surpass the Yamaguchi-gumi in one fell swoop.

He also had some guesses about what the RFG Group was doing privately, or rather, it should be said that everyone in the world had some guesses about it.

Everyone knows about the confrontation between the RFG Group and the Nazi remnants. After the Cordoba Octopus incident, this matter is not only no longer a secret, but almost known to everyone. Various media have made a fuss about it, including Sean's passionate speeches, the high-tech products that were displayed, and those hidden things that have never been known to the outside world.

Many people have various speculations about the RFF Group, such as that it is researching dangerous biological viruses like the remnants of the Nazis. This view can be said to be the speculation of most people about the RFG Group, and some conspiracy theorists are even more convinced of it.

Some even firmly believe that the reason why the RFG Group is confronting the Nazi remnants is because of this biological virus. Without anyone knowing, the two have actually been targeting each other for an unknown period of time. It is even possible that the two had initially cooperated, but it just collapsed later.

Fukuda Haru is not a conspiracy theorist, but whether from the perspective of human nature or from his own perspective, if there is an opportunity, no one should be able to refuse to study that kind of virus. The huge danger represents even more terrifying benefits.

Moreover, the RFG Group possesses so many advanced weapons and equipment, all of which are at the world's leading level, which shows that the scientific research department of the RFG Group is not just there to do nothing.

Regarding the outside world's speculation about the RFG Group, this is probably the most accurate guess made by conspiracy theorists. Unfortunately, some things cannot be based on speculation alone.

What's more, the RFG Group is such a behemoth, and it has cooperation with many countries. It is not an existence that can be moved at will.

Click!

The door was gently pushed open from the outside. Fukuda Haru squatted and sat up straight. Looking up, he saw that a young woman in professional attire with a pretty face and tall figure came in first. After the woman came in, she slightly moved to the side, revealing the real owner.

When she saw Sean's tall and strong figure, Fukuda Haru was slightly startled, and then quickly stood up from the sofa and looked at Sean. A deep bow: "ショーンさんこんにちは, 岛国へようこそ, President of the Sumiyoshi Association, Fukuda Haru and Shen します!"

(Japanese translation: Welcome to the island nation, Mr. Sean. I am Fukuda Haru, the president of the Sumiyoshi-kai)
It can be said that the Japanese people are sensible. When they meet someone, they bow deeply, as if they are apologizing to them. Their attitude is very humble.

"Don't you know English?"

Sean frowned slightly. He had no problem speaking Japanese, but he was still a little uncomfortable with it. He preferred to speak Chinese and English, and Japanese felt a little confusing.

"Shin し訳ありませんが, Fukuda Haru の无能さをお Xu しください!"

(Japanese: Sorry, please forgive Fukuda Haru's incompetence!)
Look, this happened in their own country, speaking their own language, and they immediately apologized because the other party didn’t like it. Only people from one country in the world can do this, and that is the island country.

"Okay, let's just communicate like this, sit down first."

Seeing that the other party didn't speak English, Sean didn't pursue the matter any further. After all, this was someone else's territory, and since the other party was not uncooperative, there was no need for him to find fault and harp on such a trivial matter.

"Hayi!"

Upon hearing this, Fukuda Haru breathed a sigh of relief and immediately sat back in his seat, sitting up straight. He didn't look like a gangster boss, but more like a soldier, full of energy and spirit.

"Fukuda Haru, right? I don't like beating around the bush. Just tell me directly. Umbrella Pharmaceuticals is a company that develops various drugs. We will develop various new drugs, but we need drug testers to do some clinical trials. I hope that your Sumiyoshi Association can provide enough drug testers on a regular basis. Just state the conditions you need."

After Sean sat down, he took out a cigarette. Gabriel beside him immediately took out a lighter and bent over to help him light it. The action was really fast. Lin Ke, who was standing next to him, had just taken out a lighter, but when he saw this, he silently put it back.

"Drug tester?"

Fukuda Haru's first reaction was that Sean was going to do human experiments. In his opinion, the so-called research and development of new drugs was just a cover-up. They were actually studying biochemical viruses. These drug testers were probably the kind that would never come back and were just one-time drug testers.

Otherwise, there would be no need to blame the Sumiyoshi-kai. He didn't believe that Sean was reluctant to part with the money from the drug testers.

Only things like biological viruses will be found on gangsters like them. They don't need to take any responsibility for the drug testers because drug testers don't exist at all!
