I travel through thousands of worlds at the same time

In particular, the weapons and equipment at the Xiangshahui headquarters are not many, with a total of more than one hundred pistols, more than thirty double-barreled shotguns and submachine guns, and the rest are crossbows, samurai swords and the like. It is okay when it comes to PK with other Japanese gangs. After all, the intensity of the gunfights among the Japanese gangs is not as fierce as that in America where everyone has a gun. Most of the PKs of the Japanese gangs use cold weapons or sticks. At most, they have a pistol, which is equipment only for small leaders or elite thugs.

However, the people at the Xiangshahui headquarters wanted to use this kind of rubbish equipment to fight against the enemies carrying military automatic rifles. It can only be said that they were struggling desperately. Moreover, the assault team used the tactics of stun grenades to clear the way + automatic rifle shooting. Those members of the Xiangshahui who wanted to hide in the rooms of the building and resist were quickly cleared out by the assault team. Occasionally, those guys who wanted to surrender were shot on the spot by these cold-blooded soldiers.

When the fireworks show of the summer fireworks festival outside ended, there were few people left alive in the Xiangshahui headquarters. The sergeant holding a gun in one hand killed the last few enemies who resisted to the end, and then saw the target person hiding in the underground secret room!

"The current president of Xiangsha Society? Yes, that's him!"

Seeing the current president of the Xiangsha Society who had hidden in the underground secret room of the Xiangsha Society headquarters but was still found, the sergeant looked at the other's pale face, compared it with the photos of the other and several important leaders of the Xiangsha Society that he had seen before the mission, nodded to confirm the other's identity, and waved his hand to signal several subordinates who had just rushed into the underground secret room, asking them to prepare to deal with this most important target person.

"No, no, spare me, I can give you all the money——————!"

Facing the black muzzle of the gun, the current president of Xiangsha Society felt his legs go weak. He never expected that he would encounter fully armed special forces coming to his house to kill him. However, before he could continue to beg for various promises to save his life, a bullet had already pierced his head.

Li Mo issued a kill order for the current president of Xiangshahui. There was no need to keep garbage like laundry detergent vendors who had harmed countless people and continue to waste food. The guards who followed Li Mo's order ignored the current president of Xiangshahui's pleas for mercy and shot him directly. The others were cleaned up directly at the Xiangshahui headquarters. None of the core members who remained at the Xiangshahui headquarters were left alive. The Xiangshahui headquarters was cleaned up with a complete attitude of killing them all.

At this point, Xiangshahui, one of the Neon Yakuza societies, disappeared into thin air as all the core members of the headquarters died. Even though there are still many peripheral members, neither Li Mo nor Captain Balalaika, who took action, would allow Xiangshahui to continue to exist!

Chapter 33 Wine of Victory!

While ordinary people participating in the summer fireworks festival not far from the Xiangshahui headquarters were still discussing the fireworks show that had just ended, the sergeant and his team, who had completed their mission, quietly evacuated the Xiangshahui headquarters. As soon as the black business car convoy that carried them away left, medium-sized trucks with the logo of XX Moving Company drove over.

However, the drivers and workers of these medium-sized trucks are not from a real moving company. They are core members selected from the Jiufeng group who are tight-lipped and have passed the age of fighting and killing. They are special cleaners who perform certain cleaning work in private.

For example, the first few operations against the Xiangsha Association were carried out by these special cleaners from the Jiufeng Group. They have no feelings for the Xiangsha Association. A year ago, the Xiangsha Association occasionally had small private frictions with the Jiufeng Group. It is almost safe to say that the two sides have a semi-hostile relationship. What's more, the Jiufeng Group is now working for a wealthy sponsor, so naturally, these well-paid special cleaners will do whatever Li Mo tells them to do, and they are very wise to keep their mouths shut and not leak any news at all.

Seeing that all four doors of the Xiangshahui headquarters were wide open, the special cleaners who had received the notice in advance were very tacit. They greeted each other and unloaded the materials and tools from the transport vehicles. They directly replaced the main door and side door of the Xiangshahui headquarters, and then carried a large number of body bags and garbage bags into the Xiangshahui headquarters to clean up the corpses and other garbage. The medium-sized transport vehicles left temporarily, and when the residents who participated in the summer fireworks festival returned, they did not see anything that made them feel unusual.

It was almost the darkest time of the morning when these transport vehicles came quietly again. The special cleaners quickly carried the full body bags and garbage bags, and put the things that needed to be cleaned onto the vehicles. Then, special personnel handled the follow-up, making the leaders and backbones of the Xiangsha Society completely disappear from the face of the earth.

You mean the subsequent impact?

Ordinary people would naturally not have any problems. Even if ordinary residents living nearby occasionally discovered some abnormalities in the Xiangshahui headquarters, most of them did not take it seriously, and no one would do anything like call the police.

Without saying anything else, the Japanese Yakuza Society is not a charity organization. In the past, the Xiangshahui headquarters was relatively friendly to the surrounding residents, but ordinary people in Japan keep their distance from the Yakuza organization. Unless they were the kind of people who thought that the Yakuza were something cool when they were in high school, normal people in Japan who have jobs and families don't want to have anything to do with the Yakuza Society at all, and naturally won't meddle in its affairs.

Compared to the ordinary people in Japan who are completely unaware, or who occasionally notice something wrong but pretend to be indifferent, the Japanese officials and the Japanese Jidao may be more concerned about the disappearance of Xiangshahui.

Of course, Japan has already recognized the legitimacy of the Yakuza societies, but the official attitude of Japan towards the Yakuza societies is like black gloves and chamber pots. In their eyes, the life and death of most of the Yakuza societies are unimportant. For example, those Yakuza societies that have clung to the thighs are still okay, but for the Xiangsha Society that has not reached that level yet, no one will care much about cleaning up the mess.

Especially Li Mo's words in this regard, he directly let the Jiufeng group annex and divide the territory of the Xiangsha Society. Except for retaining one-third of the territory, the rest of the Xiangsha Society's territory was divided up by the subordinate organizations of the Peace Society except for a share given to the Moscow Hotel. Then the Japanese official and the Jidao organization had nothing to say. The relevant personnel of the Japanese official who received benefits helped to cover up the past. Although the Japanese Jidao Society felt horrified by the fierce actions of the Jiufeng group, it instead increased the Jiufeng group's voice.

After all, the Japanese Jidao Society still follows the rule of the jungle, and it is common for them to snatch territory from each other. The Xiangsha Society is already a medium-sized force in the Japanese Jidao, but it was declared destroyed in just a few days. Even if the Jiufeng Group sought external assistance, it would be enough to shock the other Japanese Jidao forces. Fortunately, the Jiufeng Group obviously had the support of a big tree, and most of the profits were divided out, so the other Japanese Jidao forces acquiesced.

The demise of Xiangsha Society seemed to be silent. Except for the families of those unlucky ones who might remember them, other people didn't care at all. It was not even as influential as the scandal of a second-rate star, which made those in the know sigh!

………………

Compared to the complete destruction of the Xiangsha Society, its territory was divided up by several Japanese underworld forces. As the victors, Li Mo and Captain Balalaika got the biggest piece of cake after the destruction of the Xiangsha Society.

Naturally, Li Mo and Captain Balalaika would not take the laundry detergent business of Xiangsha Society seriously. Such unscrupulous laundry detergent business had ruined countless people's families and lives. Li Mo and Captain Balalaika had no interest in this. Even the laundry detergent seized from Xiangsha Society was destroyed. However, in addition to the wealth accumulated from the secret sales, Xiangsha Society had a lot of wealth, which was taken by Li Mo and distributed.

As one of the Japanese underworld forces, the Xiangsha Society, like other Japanese underworld forces, does not trust banks very much. More than half of the wealth they accumulated from selling laundry detergent or other illegal businesses was exchanged for hard currencies such as gold and cash, and only a few were kept in personal bank accounts. Now all of this money has benefited Li Mo. Even though he has the background of the Tianzhu Temple treasure, he will certainly not be polite but accept the wealth accumulated by the Xiangsha Society as his own trophies, otherwise it will benefit others.

Fortunately, Li Mo still had a certain moral bottom line. She plundered all the wealth of Xiangsha Society, and injected most of it into the EU Group for asset appreciation. A small amount was allocated to the Jiufeng Group for normal operation, and another part was given as trophies to Captain Balalaika who represented the Moscow Hotel. She even thoughtfully exchanged it directly for rice dollars for Captain Balalaika, otherwise she would have to sell a lot of trophies or exchange them for currency.

Of course, Captain Balalaika was very happy. She distributed the considerable sum of money directly to her subordinates. She did not keep much for herself. It was distributed fairly according to the number of people and positions. Then she gathered her subordinates to celebrate!

"Everyone, this operation has been successfully completed. The bonuses have been distributed to you. You can spend them on your own or save them for your families..."

At the port that was originally controlled by the Xiangsha Society, in the former logistics center building that had become the base of the Moscow Hotel, Captain Balalaika stood in the middle of the brightly lit hall, looking at the subordinates standing around him and announced the good news that the mission was completed. Then, he raised his lips slightly, raised a bottle of vodka specially delivered by the Jiufeng Group, and shouted loudly: "Next, everyone, enjoy the wine of victory!"

Hearing Captain Balalaika's words, the former paratroopers, who had been salivating over the aroma of vodka on the surrounding tables, cheered heartily. Then, several drunkards picked up a bottle of vodka and blew it into their lips, taking several sips of vodka and sighed heartily. Others also enjoyed the food while drinking.

I have to say that the celebration banquet for the completion of the mission was very simple and elegant. It is simple because apart from a speaker playing music, there were no other decorations at the banquet. There were only a few kinds of dishes and drinks at the banquet. There was no need to say much about the two drinks, vodka and kvass. The optional dishes were large skewers of grilled meat, red sausage, fatty pork salo and pickled cucumbers, as well as gingerbread and sliced ​​black bread as snacks. The borscht kept warm in a large aluminum alloy barrel over a low fire gave off an enticing aroma.

There is no doubt that in the eyes of those nobles or wealthy people, this style of banquet is too simple and direct. However, for most of them are Slavs or Slavicized former paratroopers, a banquet with strong liquor, barbecue and music is the best banquet. In addition, everyone also received a considerable bonus. Even the sergeant who was very calm in the past, after drinking two glasses of vodka, started tap dancing and talking and laughing loudly with his comrades.

Even Captain Balalaika was holding a glass of mixed kvass and vodka, clinking glasses with his subordinates one by one and congratulating them, and then walking aside to enjoy dessert, without really leaving the banquet.

"Hey, Locke, don't you like this party atmosphere?"

Seeing the lively and noisy banquet scene, Levi, one of the signature figures of the Black Lagoon Chamber of Commerce, raised her glass and clinked glasses with the sergeant, then walked to the table on the side and took a plate of sliced ​​red sausages and grilled skewers. While enjoying the pleasant feeling brought by the food, she saw Locke holding a wine glass and eating pickles and other dishes. Looking at the wine glass that had hardly been touched, she couldn't help but ask with some surprise.

Not only Levi was present at the banquet, but several key members of the Black Lagoon Chamber of Commerce were also present. Of course, because of Li Mo, they did not participate in the action against the Xiangsha Society, but the Black Lagoon Chamber of Commerce, which had received other orders from Li Mo, still stayed in Neon and attended the banquet!

"No, no, I'm just not used to drinking strong liquor like vodka..."

Hearing Levi's words, Locke quickly shook his head to show that he didn't hate the party. He held up the glass of vodka in his hand with a helpless expression, and explained in a low voice why he didn't drink, in order to avoid being treated badly as an outcast.

In Neon, among classmates and even colleagues, the concept of a group is very important. If Locke still works in Neon, and you are unwilling to attend a party invited by a colleague, you can refuse once or twice by saying that you have something to do or other excuses, but if it happens too many times or you directly make it clear that you don’t like to attend parties, then you will become an outcast in the eyes of others. They will not openly exclude you, but will directly treat you coldly. Locke does not want to become an outcast in the Black Lagoon Chamber of Commerce. That would be really fatal and he has no other choice.

As for Locke's inability to drink vodka, there's really nothing he can do about it. After all, most office workers in Japan drink beer or sake, while the rich and powerful prefer various red wines, and there are very few people who drink high-proof liquor.

"Haha, you can mix some kvass in it, or just drink it directly!"

Daqi, the president of the Black Lagoon Chamber of Commerce, couldn't help laughing at Locke's face-saving behavior. He raised the vodka mixed with kvass in his hand and took a sip. Feeling the unique taste of the drink, he gave the other party an idea and explained to all members of the Black Lagoon Chamber of Commerce what they were going to do next: "Although we didn't take action this time, fortunately we have taken on several transportation tasks assigned by His Excellency Li Mo. After the banquet, we will rest for two days and then prepare to go back to work..."

Although the Black Lagoon Chamber of Commerce's trip to Tokyo was a surprise at first, and they encountered a BUG-level individual strongman like Li Mo, but there were no casualties and they were hired by the other party. This was not a bad thing in the eyes of President Dutch, not to mention the reward given by the Moscow Hotel before. It can be said that it was a worthwhile trip.

As for helping to carry out some very secret transportation tasks according to Li Mo's instructions...

Well, the Black Lagoon Chamber of Commerce originally engaged in this kind of secret transportation business, occasionally mixed with other types of tasks. They don’t care at all about the background of their employer. As long as the other party can give suitable compensation, they naturally don’t mind working for them.

After all, the Black Lagoon Chamber of Commerce is not an old stubborn person who sticks to the old ways. In other words, in Roalapura, even the church that believes in God carries guns and has a strong background, otherwise the violent church in Roalapura would not become an intermediary. However, few people in Roalapura know that the violent church, which seems to be neutral and often mediates conflicts, is actually an outside line of America's intelligence department. This gives you the general style of Roalapura.

Looking at all the forces in Roalapura, most of them are rich and powerful, and the client is God. Unless the client is their mortal enemy, or the request they put forward is really impossible to do, there is always a force in Roalapura willing to serve for money. Even forces that have had fighting or conflicts before, don't mind cooperating for the sake of interests. People like them with moral mysophobia are really not suitable to stay in Roalapura.

As for the Black Reef Chamber of Commerce, they naturally do not have any high moral cleanliness, or that each member of the Black Reef Chamber of Commerce has their own bottom line, which definitely does not include conducting their own chamber of commerce's business. Even the president of the Black Reef Chamber of Commerce, Datchit and Levi and others, do not take over the task of transporting laundry detergent, but the transportation of other contraband items and even guns and ammunition are tasks that the Black Reef Chamber of Commerce has performed before.

Now, the Black Lagoon Chamber of Commerce heard the commission given by Li Mo, which was just to transport a few batches of goods according to his requirements. It was not a mission that must be completed in death. Naturally, President Dutch agreed to it. He told Levi, Locke and others that he would go back to do business after playing for two days!

……

"Mr. Li Mo, you asked me to discuss this here. Is there something important you want to say?"

When the banquet had been going on for more than two hours and a group of former paratroopers had already drunkenly laid down to rest, Captain Balalaika, who was still sober, inspected several sentry posts, then walked to the top floor of the building, looked at Li Mo who appeared here, and asked carefully.

Logically, Captain Balalaika should have remained vigilant, but having witnessed Li Mo's inhuman fighting power with her own eyes, and knowing the cruel reality that even all her subordinates combined were not enough to defeat Li Mo, she naturally put herself in the position of a weak person. It was completely unnecessary to be wary of the other party, because you are not his opponent at all. It would be better for you to carefully ask Li Mo what exactly was the purpose of his trip to the top floor alone before the banquet started, which made him finish the banquet and let her go to the top floor alone.

Anyway, Captain Balalaika didn't think that Li Mo was looking for her because he was bored. Instead, she didn't know what the requirements were for this powerful man who held such great power. This made her feel a little uneasy, and she instinctively felt that something important would happen tonight.

"Balalayka, you really get straight to the point when we meet~!"

Seeing Captain Balalaika's simple and straightforward question, Li Mo, who had silently arrived at the top floor for a while, turned his head and sighed at Captain Balalaika's straightforward eyes. Then, without any hidden thoughts, he directly stretched out his hand to the other party and expressed his intention: "Let me put it this way! Balalaika, I want to recruit you and your subordinates. What do you think?!"

For Li Mo, there are not many forces and figures in the Black Lagoon Comprehensive World that have been confirmed, which makes him feel fearful and concerned. For him, cleaning up the Xiangsha Society is not much more difficult than stepping on an ant to death. Li Mo is not even interested in dealing with those ordinary people. He directly lets the guards around him cooperate with those former paratroopers.

On the contrary, apart from being intimate with beauties like Robert, Ruisheng Lei and Nogami Saeko, Li Mo is paying more attention to how to act in the Black Lagoon Integrated World. Considering that America is the only dominant country in this era, he can only regretfully give up the idea of ​​directly raising the flag and establishing a country. He cannot establish a country openly but can control it secretly. What's more, Li Mo is still prepared to strongly support the Celestial Empire in the Black Lagoon Integrated World, so the Red Bear, which has fallen only a few years ago, has become an important treasure trove in his eyes.

Captain Balalaika's words made Li Mo recognize her abilities. In addition, she came from a family of former senior military officers of the Red Bear. If it weren't for her father having problems and her own subordinates causing quite a bit of news in Moscow, it wouldn't be difficult for a capable person to get a good position in the current Red Bear. What's more, she was actually a Slavic beauty with outstanding looks and appearance, which made Li Mo want to recruit her.

However, when Li Mo said this, Captain Balalaika's expression changed slightly. Her pretty face, which was half covered by scars, looked stern. She stared at Li Mo for several seconds before she slowly spoke...

Chapter 34 Persuasion and Facts

"Mr. Li Mo, are you sure you are not joking? If I remember correctly, you have just reached an alliance with the Moscow Hotel..."

Looking into Li Mo's eyes, Captain Balalaika's beautiful eyes like pure sapphires were fixed on him. She stopped smoking the cigar in her hand, but her other hand unconsciously clenched into a fist. Moreover, her mood was far from as calm as her words. She unconsciously wondered why Li Mo recruited herself and her subordinates.

Recruiting people is not a rare thing for the Mafia or even various forces, but Captain Balalaika knows that as a senior figure in the EU Group, Li Mo will definitely not lack capable subordinates. So why did he break the tacit understanding with the Moscow Hotel and extend an olive branch to himself and his subordinates who are under the Moscow Hotel?

You have to know that the Mafia is not a company that can poach people at will. Members of different mafias change camps because the mafias cooperate for the sake of profit, but if a mafia member suddenly defected and joined another mafia, it is very likely to trigger a war between the two mafia families. The situation of [Moscow Hotel] is similar. If Li Mo poached people directly, [Moscow Hotel] would definitely think that the other party was provoking him. If he did not retaliate, he would be regarded as a coward by everyone.

Captain Balalaika's loyalty to the Moscow Hotel was not that strong, but she knew that Li Mo also had an elite combat team under his command. Those fully armed guardsmen holding AR-15 short assault rifles were absolutely very dangerous fighters in Captain Balalaika's eyes. It was difficult to predict the outcome of a battle between the guardsmen of equal numbers and the former paratroopers led by her.

The most important thing is that Captain Balalaika is not sure what Li Mo's purpose is in recruiting himself and his subordinates. What if the other party is planning to recruit some people to be cannon fodder or to take the blame? Wouldn't he and his subordinates be jumping into a fire pit?

Captain Balalaika had heard of such things. Including in Roalapura, many guys with good fighting ability were attracted by high rewards, and ended up taking certain commissions and disappearing. Some of them died in battle before completing the high-bounty mission, and more of them were involved in some major events and became sacrificial pawns or unlucky guys who were used to take the blame. Captain Balalaika did not want himself and his subordinates to become such unlucky guys who were abandoned.

However, Captain Balalaika also felt that it was inappropriate to explicitly reject Li Mo's recruitment, so he used a more tactful way of rejection to remind Li Mo, this incredibly strong individual, that he was still an ally with the Moscow Hotel!

"Hahaha, Balalaika, your worry is totally unnecessary!"

Li Mo recognized Captain Balalaika's little trick at a glance, but he didn't care. Instead, he praised the Slavic beauty in front of him. However, when he changed his words, he looked at the Slavic beauty in a red women's suit and a paratrooper coat with interest, and said directly: "You are not really loyal to the Moscow Hotel with all your heart, are you? Besides, if I really want to ask the Moscow Hotel for an exchange, they will definitely not refuse..."

Li Mo's tone was calm, but the implication was something that Captain Balalaika could not ignore. If the other party really exchanged interests with the Moscow Hotel, she did not think that the guys in the Moscow Hotel would be able to support her unwaveringly. It was more likely that they would sell herself and her subordinates for a good price.

Under normal circumstances, Captain Balalaika would not be so worried. If the Mafia wants to grow and become stronger, it has to follow the rules. Once the news of betraying subordinates gets out, I'm afraid that people inside the Moscow Hotel will be in panic, and it is not impossible for it to fall apart. However, the problem is that if Li Mo's price is high enough, plus a suitable excuse, the leaders of the Moscow Hotel might really be tempted. She and her subordinates are not direct descendants of the Moscow Hotel, so it's hard to say what the result will be.

Captain Balalaika was afraid of Li Mo. After seeing the other party's strength and skills, she realized that not only did he easily destroy the Xiangshahui headquarters without causing any major noise, but he also gained a lot of property and some territories. It was impossible for her to say that she was not worried. She really couldn't guess what Li Mo was thinking!

"...Mr. Li Mo, I want to know why you are so interested in me and my subordinates. You should have no shortage of capable subordinates, right?"

After hearing what Li Mo said about exchanging interests with the Moscow Hotel, Captain Balalaika knew that she had to give an answer, so she couldn't help but ask the questions in her mind. Her beautiful eyes stared at Li Mo, wanting to know why the other party valued her and her subordinates so much and even exchanged interests with the Moscow Hotel. It really made her feel very confused.

No matter how you look at it, the EU Group, which is quite powerful, has no shortage of chips to recruit elite soldiers. Moreover, Captain Balalaika has gotten to know the general situation of the EU Group in the past few days. He knows that in addition to the elite combat team that has been displayed, the other party also has a special security company. So why would they favor him and his subordinates so much?

"Do you really want to know the reason? If you knew, then there would be no chance to quit. You would have to make a choice..."

Facing Captain Balalaika's serious eyes, Li Mo restrained the smile on his face, looked up at the Slavic beauty who had left a very deep impression in the original anime of "Black Lagoon", and spoke in a very solemn tone.

Seriously speaking, when it comes to the original anime of "Black Lagoon", Li Mo thinks that there are only a few characters who are pretty good. Captain Balalaika is undoubtedly one of them. It can be said that she is an excellent middle-level commander who also cares for her subordinates and maintains a certain moral bottom line. The former Red Bear paratroopers under her command actually fight quite well. Although their performance in the original plot of "Black Lagoon" is not too outstanding, most of it is actually required by the plot.

Can you believe that the paratroopers from the former Red Bear Elite Forces would be entangled by one of the major forces in Roalapura?

Even though Li Mo confirmed that the Black Lagoon complex world was stronger than the real world before he crossed over, it was normal for an excellent individual to fight against a hundred people alone. However, Captain Balalaika and his subordinates seemed a little stretched to deal with the various forces in Roalapura. The actual situation was that Captain Balalaika and his subordinates were too few in number, and they were still semi-exiled from the Moscow Hotel, so it was difficult for them to recruit suitable subordinates in Southeast Asia to join, so that they would not interfere with other forces in Roalapura.

In reality, if Captain Balalaika and her subordinates were to destroy half of Roalapura's forces at all costs, there would be no problem. However, the consequence would probably be that she and her subordinates would be completely wiped out. After all, the forces on Roalapura's side were not to be trifled with. Some of these forces were supported by the government forces of Siam and several surrounding countries, and they could kill Captain Balalaika and his group with human wave tactics.

This is the most important reason why Captain Balalaika and her subordinates only occupied a piece of territory in Roalapura instead of actively expanding it. The number of the former Red Bear's paratroopers she gathered was limited. They were semi-exiled to Southeast Asia because of the not-so-small news they made in Moscow before. It can be said that the support of [Moscow Hotel] for her is also limited. She and her subordinates can occupy a piece of territory in Roalapura, but it is impossible for them to occupy the entire Roalapura. Just like the actions of Neon against the Xiangsha Society and the Jiufeng Group in the original plot, they can only take advantage at most.

Li Mo's recruitment of Captain Balalaika and her subordinates was actually not only a collection of characters from the original anime "Black Lagoon", but more because Captain Balalaika was indeed of great value. Her good personal ability was actually a secondary reason. The most important reason was that she could still have connections with some high-level officials of the Russian Bear. Even if she was not necessarily liked by the other party before, having connections and not having connections were two different things.

It is precisely because of this that Li Mo, who is preparing to make a career in the Black Lagoon Comprehensive World, will naturally not let the other party go easily, otherwise it will be more troublesome to find the right person. What's more, Captain Balalaika is actually a great beauty after recovering from her injuries.

"Don't I have any other choice?"

Seeing that Li Mo's eyes didn't change at all, that calm but serious expression, Captain Balalaika couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster. She inexplicably felt that her current choice was very important, but she still held back the thoughts in her mind and wanted to test whether she had any other options.

"Do you think you have other choices in most cases? For example, your subordinates certainly don't want to fight for the rest of their lives with guns. But if you are not leading them now, they will have a hard time in Moscow and even in the whole of Eastern Europe..."

Li Mo was not angry at Captain Balalaika's calm attitude but instead had a slight smile on his face. He looked at her pretty face which was half covered by scars and directly pointed out her current predicament. He even used the plight of her subordinates to tell the Slavic beauty the particularly cruel fact.

If Captain Balalaika had chosen to be alone at the beginning, with her family background, she would have had a way out in the disintegrating Red Bear. You know, her grandfather was a general, and he was one of the generals of the Red Bear who ended World War II. It was not difficult to find a way out for herself. But for the sake of her subordinates, she gathered those subordinates who were in difficult lives or even killed by the mafia for debt collection. So if she wanted to find a way out in the Red Bear at that time, there was almost no choice.

After all, the situation of the Russian Bear at that time could be said to be very bad. The Map Head and the Khitans, a pair of rare combination of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix, directly killed the somewhat declining Red Bear. European and American countries including America took the opportunity to divide up its legacy and, by the way, suppressed the separated countries such as the Russian Bear and the Second Mao, so that they could no longer pose a threat.

In the past few years, the Russian economy has been in a state of sustainable chaos. A large number of troops that were originally laid off by the map heads and the Khitans have poured into the civilian population. The former red Russian soldiers who have no food to eat or even cannot feed their families are naturally forced to take up arms to find a bowl of food for themselves and their families. The chaotic Russian times gave birth to so many powerful mafias. The reason is that a large number of retired soldiers who have experienced wars joined the mafia due to the pressure of life and for the future of themselves and their families.

At that time, Captain Balalaika himself could still be in trouble, but his subordinates who had experienced the Battle of the Imperial Graveyard in Central Asia had no other way out except retirement in the environment of the disintegrated Red Bear. The depreciation of the ruble of the disintegrated Red Bear was comparable to the gold yuan issued by Bald Brother. Even if they got the so-called retirement allowance, it would only be enough to buy a few meals in the city.

Therefore, when Captain Balalaika found out that one of his subordinates was killed by a mafia gang because of debt, his final choice was to lead other subordinates to join another mafia and fight hard for himself and his family. Later, he made a small news in Moscow and was sent to Roalapura to fight.

But Li Mo could see that most of the paratroopers following Captain Balalaika were already in their thirties or even forties, and many of them had already married and had children. Their current combat effectiveness was still pretty good, and perhaps they could still fight for another ten years. But for those who were already in their forties or fifties, a downward trend in physical fitness was completely inevitable. Would they still be able to carry guns and continue fighting by then?

To give an inappropriate example, before Li Mo traveled through time, more than half of the members of many Japanese yakuza societies were old men over 60 years old. Those Japanese yakuza societies that were targeted by the Japanese police and included in the Violent Group Countermeasures Act were in an extremely miserable situation. The high-level leaders might still be able to live well with their past savings and property, but the lower-level yakuza members no longer had the ability to fight and kill, and even it was extremely difficult for them to change careers. It can be seen how bleak the future of being in the yakuza or the mafia is.

As for this problem, Li Mo directly told Captain Balalaika that he didn't think the other party could solve it. Unless Captain Balalaika abandoned his comrades, he would be able to make the difficult decision he was destined to face!

"Mr. Li Mo, please tell me why you recruited me and my subordinates..."

Not knowing what was in Li Mo's mind, Captain Balalaika was silent for more than ten seconds before she slowly spoke. She looked at Li Mo with a very complicated look, and her heart was as cold as a cold wind. She didn't know how to face the future situation.

Captain Balalaika did not regret her decision to lead her subordinates to join the Mafia. The chaotic situation in Russia a few years ago left her with no choice at all. However, what Li Mo said was the cruel and real future. She also did not think that her subordinates could stay in the Mafia for their whole lives. And even though she and her subordinates were doing well in Roalapura now, only she knew how much trouble she had encountered.

Therefore, Captain Balalaika could not ignore Li Mo's words. What the other party was talking about was a real choice for the future. So even if she knew in her heart that the other party's plan must be unusual, she had to bite the bullet and listen to why the other party recruited her.

"It's simple. I need Captain Balalaika to be a medium to communicate with the senior officials of the Russian bear. You and your subordinates will become my subordinates and will receive appropriate treatment..."

Hearing Captain Balalaika finally taking up the topic, Li Mo's mouth curled up slightly and he spoke his true feelings. He had no intention of deceiving the Slavic beauty in front of him, and the promises he made to her and her subordinates were very real conditions.

As for the situation on the Russian side, the chess pieces Li Mo has sent out now only know a general situation. Even if he can slowly collect intelligence in the future, it is better to rely on Captain Balalaika to act as a bridge. At least she does have some connections in the Russian side, which can allow Li Mo to easily find the people he needs to find. Then, continuing to cooperate or simply supporting the agent is another matter.

At the very least, Li Mo had to admit that at this point in the Black Lagoon World, China was still far inferior to the world's second largest country thirty years later, or even to America's qualifications to challenge it. If China wanted to develop faster, resources, technology, and talent were all indispensable. For example, the former Red Bear, which had already collapsed, still had many legacies that made people jealous. Li Mo felt that he could still use Captain Balalaika to find a way to dig out the treasures of the Bear.

Li Mo's recruitment of Captain Balalaika was because he wanted to obtain the internal situation of the Russian Bear in the shortest time possible. He could arrange manpower by getting acquainted with high-ranking officials in the Russian Bear. Whether using the precious [Fusion Seed] or simply using gold and rice to pave the way, Li Mo had full confidence in getting good things from the Russian Bear. Combined with his arrangements in Japan and European and American countries, it would be possible to accelerate the rise of the Celestial Empire in the Black Lagoon Integrated World.

Li Mo had already made his estimate in his mind. When he looked at Captain Balalaika, he still had a slight smile on his face, but he did not give the other party a chance to shirk or make excuses. He directly issued the final ultimatum:

"Well, Balalaika, now that you know so much, make your own choice? Choose to join me, or continue to stay in the Moscow hotel?"

Join Li Mo and work for him?

Or continue to be a mafia in [Moscow Hotel]?
