Arknights, but the family has fallen again

"What!?" Ji was stunned: "This...is not...that..."

He hesitated for a long time and asked, "Can the Guard Bureau still recruit from outside?"

Then he noticed the relatively less noticeable part.

"You just said they're doctors...how can they be members of the Imperial Guard?"

Huai Hu used an appropriate, yet inappropriate, metaphor. This metaphor was too dominant, and while it made it easier for others to understand the task Rhodes Island was about to undertake, it also… caused this kind of problem.

Huai Hu frowned and said, "This... I'll just pick out what I can say."

Wei Yanwu's decision will affect every aspect of Longmen.

The Li Detective Agency, as one of the "vibrant social organizations" among the people of Longmen, which leans towards the upright side, naturally also noticed something.

The "director" of the firm is Lao Li, a middle-aged dragon with a lazy and versatile personality.

He has a very close personal relationship with both the black and white leaders in Longmen.

But since it was related to military affairs, even Wei Yanwu did not tell Lao Li directly why he wanted to outsource this "job".

This made Lao Li's jaw drop, and he began to work overtime to analyze Rhode Island. He did this analysis work himself, and the people who "worked overtime" to collect information were Huai Hu, Ah, Hong (pronounced "hong") and the helpers Lao Li had hired out of shame...

As for Longmen?

Ever since the Longmen army was dispatched, Lao Li smelled something: a war was about to begin.

The actual conflict caused by Longmen's geographical location is so great that it can cause the court to hand over power to Wei Yanwu's enemy...who else could it be?

Only Ursus.

It's impossible for him to just sit there and fight Kazdel or Rembilt when he has nothing better to do, right?

However, this information is too confidential.

Naturally, Huai Hu, who had collected a large amount of intelligence as a "coolie", had some stress reactions to Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals in a short period of time.

Finally, Huai Hu thought of something to say. She explained, "Rhodes Island's methods of treating Originium disease are very advanced, so they have a large number of veterans on their side."

This... is difficult for you, Huai Hu. However, it is not wrong.

Ott rubbed his Jingming acupoint, turned his eyes away from the terminal, looked directly at the operator in front of him and said, "Take the bonus for the next two days. I'll take care of the program later."

Ninety-eighth Palm: Your actions! A poisonous tree bears evil fruit!

"I see!" Ji suddenly realized, "So this Rhodes Island is particularly strong, right?"

Huai Hu nodded.

A large amount of battle information collected from public channels was compiled by her and presented to Lao Li's desk.

"They are very good at small-team combat and have performed well in many local battles."

This shows that Lao Li has not yet discovered the connection between Rhodes Island and the civil war in Kazdel.

This is normal. Rhodes Island officially came into Longmen's sight in just a few days.

"In fact, even now, Chernobog is constantly transmitting the latest battle videos of Rhodes Island." Huai Hu said.

In reality, there's no single source for these videos. Most were recorded by refugees using handheld devices, and digging through them is a daunting task.

However, Lao Li is indeed very prestigious.

With some promises and some favors, someone else did the most troublesome work for him.

One of the side effects is that the price of Ursus personal terminals in the second-hand market has "inexplicably" risen - the sales of eye drops have also suddenly soared. It can only be said that the high-intensity intensive video watching is indeed very torturous.

"Wasn't that city taken down a long time ago by that... that Reunion? How come there's the latest battle footage?"

Huai Hu nodded and said, "Yes, Rhodes Island is still rescuing people from Qie City."

Ott thought about it.

Most of Rhodes Island's rescue operations are now led by logistics operators in the wilderness between Che City and Lungmen. However, rescue teams led by Dobin, Lin Guang, and Warfarin do occasionally penetrate the outer reaches of Che City.

The difficulty of that was completely different from breaking through to the core city to rescue people on the day that Qie City fell.

To put it bluntly, Rhodes Island could not have chosen to abandon Otto that day, and the refugees...

Ott shook his head.

All I can say is that this has not happened in any of the rescue operations so far.

Huai Hu hesitated to speak, and finally said, "In fact, based on the intelligence I've handled, Dr. Otto's frontline command ability is simply a monster..."

It seems that after watching the videotape intensively, she did gain something.

But why did your firm see the video first? Isn't that just how we do things in Rhode Island?

The drone's camera flickered.

Jie seemed to see Huai Hu's desire to express himself, and he said, "How do you say that?"

After finding the stairs, Huai Hu continued to talk: "In previous battles, Rhodes Island relied more on the outstanding individual qualities."

Her eyes lit up as she said, "But the footage from Checheng shows their coordination is exquisite!"

"Even though they are the vanguard, and the enemy outnumbers us, there will definitely not be even a one-on-one fight!"

During the narration process, she unconsciously immersed herself in the story.

"In the Battle of Che City, Rhodes Island's smallest combat unit was just three people! With precise commands and expert coordination, they split the battle line into countless three-on-one situations!"

"From the video footage, their casualties during the process of breaking through the inner siege to the outer perimeter were only in the single digits!"

I know you're excited, but are you really going to need all those exclamation points?

"That Dr. Otto! Under his command..." Huai Hu clenched his fists and waved them unconsciously.

"The entire Rhodes Island is like one person! A martial arts master!"

"Avoid deadly attacks and seize critical opportunities!"

"He wields that feeble force with ease, deflecting the enemy's attacks, guiding their movements, and disrupting their thoughts..."

After the drone, Otto felt even more uncomfortable when he heard such "flattery": I have a million soldiers ready for battle at any time, so do I need to do this?

The highest realm of military strategy is to always be able to injure others with one's own strength, bully the weak with strength, and bully the few with numbers.

In other words, it is operation.

A victory over a strong opponent, like the one that broke through the city, was a strategic error, no matter how brilliant the fight was! The root of the problem was distorted! A poisonous tree bears terrible fruit!

Wait, that was to save me?

Ott remained calm and thought to himself: Good fight!

"It sounds like this group of people are kind-hearted and good at fighting..." Jie scratched his head, "It feels like they walked out of a story."

Soon, he asked the crucial question again: "But can something like the Guard Bureau be hired from outside?"

Seriously speaking, on Terra, this kind of behavior is not really that contrary to common sense.

Compared with their own development process, the "police" system itself is a new thing for most regimes.

However, for Dayan, the Guard Bureau corresponds to the Constables, the "Six Gates".

Ever since a Yan person learned to speak, the "gong" in "gongchai" has been etched into his mind along with various cultural fragments. When he realizes that there are police agencies and prison systems controlled by private individuals in the world, he will feel a sincere shock.

While thinking, Otto said to the operator in front of him, "Thank you for your hard work. This money is a bonus. But there is one more thing. Please help me call Meteor."

Huai Hu has handled so much intelligence that she has independently pieced together the "whole story" from it, but... she cannot and should not reveal the truth bluntly.

If Ji was in imminent danger, she would be happy to hint at it, but now Ji had already infiltrated the Rhodes Island office in a daze!

In the future wars in Longmen, he will even be among the safest group!

So, Huai Hu just said vaguely: "Anyway, the Longmen Guard Bureau itself doesn't really care about the slums."

She changed the subject and asked, "By the way, Brother Jie, do they provide dormitories in Rhodes Island?"

"Yes, they took me to see it, but I had a place to stay in Longmen, so I didn't want to go... What's wrong? Why do you look so bad?"

I could tell from the expression on her furry face that she was from Terra.

"Nothing, just... since they've contracted the defense, we'll be dealing with them for a long time..." She tried to organize her words without leaking any information: "... long-term... long-term colleagues, it's best to get along well."

She found a barely acceptable opening: "It's not a good idea to be alone at the beginning of your career. How about... you move in with Uncle Dong first?"

Jie was baffled. "What kind of company dormitory allows you to bring your family with you?"

Tigress said in self-deprecation, "Anyway, tell Uncle Dong, he'll understand!"

After chatting for a while, the two separated.

The drone's scarlet camera focused, then silently raised itself up, hesitating in the night: Which one should it follow now?

Chapter 99: The patient is terminally ill and is recommended to die on the spot

On the other side, before Kal'tsit came to check the accounts, Otto finally finished distributing the bonuses to all the operators personally.

This amount of cash was a small portion of the substantial trade damages paid by various Lungmen businesses. For a military-medical complex like Rhodes Island, the sum was substantial, but not significant.

But for an individual, this amount of money is already ridiculously large.

Due to the lack of substantive supervision, and the fact that the operators were unaware of the subtle discord between Kal'tsit and Ott, Ott successfully completed a very classic operation: taking advantage of other people's generosity.

These capitals, which were supposed to be used for the expansion and reproduction of Rhodes Island, were intercepted by Otto through illegal operations. A small portion of them was personally distributed to all the operators around him at the moment.

In name, procedure, and Ott's subsequent operations, this money is the recent bonus for this group of operators. These bonuses exist, but they will not be distributed now, and they should not be distributed by Ott personally...

Otto, as one of the "leaders" of Rhodes Island, is actually more like an empty shell.

Although Kal'tsit believed he had lost his memory, she constructed a lock for Ott within Rhodes Island's current power structure just in case.

Otto's direct subordinates, the Originium Department and the Natural Disaster Department, are struggling to function effectively, as Otto hasn't yet regained the necessary expertise. In the Field Operations Division, responsible for external operations, Otto also faces decentralization from other elite operators.

When it comes to engineering, personnel, administration and logistics, Otte has no financial power...the foundation is unstable and the whole thing is shaky.

In the power network that Kal'tsit specially prepared for him, Ott could actually only act as a human vibrator in a short period of time... I mean, a human seal and tactical commander.

Otte's other functions are not irreplaceable.

But those who often conquer the world know it.

Power may be granted from top to bottom in form, but in essence, it is formed from bottom to top.

There was no longer any substantive conflict between Otto and Kal'tsit. This bizarre struggle, somewhere between political and family feuds, was unlikely to degenerate into an armed struggle, with each elite operator supporting their own side.

Kal'tsit may have set up layers of obstacles for Ott in terms of procedures and superstructure. However, by illegally operating and intercepting a portion of the compensation, Ott was able to start "eating Doc Ott's food and wearing Doc Ott's clothes" on the spot, usurping power from the bottom up.

In addition, as a medical institution that is suspected to be a bit too militarized, the continuous victories themselves are enough to condense Otto's divinity.

With Otto's endless orders and the high material and spiritual rewards after completing the orders, the other operators will be happy to obey his orders.

It can only be said that Otto's wooden frankness in front of the girls and his cunning when he was swimming butterfly in the cesspool of power and authority are consistent.

You act so wooden when communicating with them, actually you want to start a harem, right?

This scumbag's desire for control, which is almost ingrained in his bones, is so inflated that no matter whether Kal'tsit subjectively wants to or can do so, he doesn't want Kal'tsit to actually have the ability to restrain him.

Are you some old emperor from nowhere? When did your paranoia develop to this stage?

However, considering the reason why Kal'tsit restrained him, "What if he goes crazy again?"... Is she using Rhodes Island as a sex toy?

You two in-laws have really had enough!

dong dong.

"Please come in."

Ghost Shark is not with Otto at the moment. She is serving as Otto's "eyes" and is beside Shi Huaiya.

But Miss Shi Huaiya was a bit stubborn and kept asking about Otto's private affairs... In a strange way, Shi Huaiya basically did not reveal any information to Otto.

The door was opened by the visitor, and the first thing that caught Otto's eye was a pair of Sarkaz's big... big horns.

Ott raised his gaze.
