Detective Conan: Becoming a Zaibatsu - Starting with Joining the Winery

Lin Mo's words sent chills down Amuro Toru's spine.

Damn it!

How did this guy conduct his investigation? How did he know so much information, even about the Onizuka crew of five?

but……

He simply shook his head and then ignored the matter. After all, he had never thought about betraying Lin Mo in the future, so it was a good thing for his boss to become stronger!

He took a deep breath before slowly speaking.

"Boss."

"Your understanding is not comprehensive; you could say you don't understand the grassroots level."

"Join a faction?"

"It's not as simple as you think!"

"While joining a faction can provide resources and promotions, it doesn't mean you'll truly become one of us."

"More..."

"You're just playing the role of cannon fodder, a pawn that can be sacrificed at any time!"

Resources are limited.

"The faction's primary concern is the children of its own leaders, followed by relatives and collateral bloodlines, and only then do they consider their own sons and servants who have served their family for generations."

"Only after the three groups mentioned above have finished eating can the new members of the faction have their turn."

"But the question is, at this stage, how many resources are left?"

"Boss, your faction is newly established, so strength is naturally valued during the initial development phase. However, most factions have undergone five generations or even longer of development..."

"What I fear most is the Suzuki family, which has recently risen to prominence. By the time it reaches Ayako and Sonoko's generation, it will have been three generations."

"This kind of force values ​​loyalty the most, and personal strength is only a secondary consideration."

"Why not join?"

"The power and responsibility are not commensurate!"

"The resources you gain from joining a faction are only enough to get you one step up; note that this is the only resource support you can receive in your entire life."

"But you have to serve with lifelong loyalty, and in special circumstances you have to take responsibility, and if you're unlucky, you may even have to die for your faction."

"Only when the second generation grows up can they enter the ranks of the house-born, and only then can they barely be considered to have made another step forward."

"Boss, what do you think...?"

"Given the current situation, why should I and Morofushi Takaaki join a faction?"

As Amuro Tooru spoke, Lin Mo couldn't help but gasp.

Good guy!

No wonder Amuro Tooru and others are unwilling to join a faction; the price they have to pay is just too high.

but……

think carefully.

If I only have one resource, and Shota Ochiai is competing with someone who just joined me, who would I give that resource to?

Without a doubt, it's Shota Ochiai!

Although he was not raised in his own family, he was indeed the son of the Ochiai butler, and was someone who had served him for two generations in the true sense.

In this situation, why should it be given to outsiders?

Of course.

Lin Mo's power is still growing rapidly, which has led to a shortage of manpower in all aspects, so he can naturally satisfy everyone's needs in terms of resources at the same time.

However, the development of any force has its bottlenecks. As more and more people join one's force, the resources that one can obtain are limited.

Therefore, it is highly probable.

I'll have to walk the same old path myself in the future!

There's a Chinese idiom that says it well...

There's a distinction between close and distant relationships!

For a truly stable force, loyalty is always more important than talent. Of course, if someone betrays their own side, then the rules will be followed.

Lin Mo took a deep breath and nodded.

"I see, I understand."

"Mr. Amuro is aware of my situation. I don't lack resources right now; on the contrary, what I really lack is the participation of powerful figures from all walks of life."

"You can go and inform Morofushi Takami, and while you're at it, call Yamato Kansuke and Uehara Yui over. I have enough resources for the three of them."

"Let's transfer them back to the Metropolitan Police Department first, then I'll talk to Toshiro Odagiri later!"

Yes.

Although this is a headache, it's something I'll have to consider much later. Right now, what I need most is to recruit talent as soon as possible.

We really lack talent right now!

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Upon hearing this, Amuro Tooru slowly nodded.

Followed by.

The two started chatting again. Just as Amuro Tooru felt that it was getting late and he needed to go back to organize his thoughts on the mission and take care of Morofushi Takami's matter, Lin Mo suddenly slapped his forehead and spoke up.

"By the way, Mr. Amuro."

"I now have a complete set of US PMC licenses, the highest level of licenses that authorize overseas operations."

"In other words..."

"I am now qualified to build a private armed force that can be operated openly, but I lack trustworthy people to manage it for me."

Do you have any suggestions?

Lin Mo was very troubled by this matter.

Honestly...

He didn't think Amuro Tooru could offer any advice; he just casually said it, taking the opportunity to show Amuro Tooru his abilities.

This isn't about showing off; it's absolutely necessary!

Only when your subordinates know that following you will lead to a promising future will they be willing to truly help you.

Indeed, that is the case!

Amuro Tooru was stunned when he heard these words, and looked at Lin Mo with great disbelief, after all, the PMC license is not something that ordinary people can obtain.

More importantly, this is an island nation!

The fact that the US already has troops stationed in the island nation proves that Lin Mo's license allows him to be stationed there through normal procedures.

As for Lin Mo, who possesses a legitimate private armed force, even though he himself is only barely considered a financial tycoon, no financial tycoon would dare to easily scheme against him.

Amuro Tooru sat down again, frowned, and then lit another cigarette.

After a moment's hesitation, he spoke again.

"Akai Shuichi!"

"Akemi's ex-boyfriend, the one who goes by the alias Moroboshi Dai, whose organization's code name is Rye Whiskey."

"This name should be familiar to the boss, right?"

"He deeply hated the organization and seemed determined to destroy it."

"But I didn't see any commitment to justice in his eyes, so I guess he probably chose to fight the organization to the death for some personal reasons."

"If he knows that the FBI itself never intended to destroy the organization, then as long as you, boss, can help Shuichi Akai achieve his goal, it won't be difficult to subdue him."

"The FBI has elite Hostage Rescue Teams (HRTs) as well as regular tactical groups like the FBI SWAT team."

"The FBI has a large number of ace agents retiring every year, and as an FBI ace investigator, Shuichi Akai must know quite a few elite special tactics members."

"so……"

"Boss, if you can get on board with Shuichi Akai, then you can use Shuichi Akai as the center. Even if you can't form a special operations brigade, you can at least set up a few special operations teams."
