Europe, Great Britain, London, the foggy city, is having another rainy day on Brompton Street in central London, there is a very inconspicuous hotel building, an ordinary three-star hotel called Crab Point.
In the city of London, three-star hotels are not very eye-catching, not to mention that the city is so big. Although the population has not exceeded 10 million, it is still five or six million.
Plus, there are quite a few tourists in this city.
So a three-star hotel in such a city is not at all eye-catching.
However, this extremely inconspicuous hotel is the headquarters of the King of Darkness in Great Britain.
"Old Yuan, how was it? Did you lose? Hahaha, let's drink, two glasses!"
In the hotel room, Luo Jiayun laughed loudly and urged Yuan Zuhuai, who was sitting opposite him, to drink. Fu Yaowei, Xie Hanjiang, Liu Zhigang and others next to him followed suit.
Captain Lu Tonghua was sitting not far away, watching the scene with a smile, thinking that it was great to be young.
Since Lu Tonghua took over the team after the former captain Zhu Guangxian retired seven or eight years ago, Qin Haichuan, Tang Yuheng, Wu Zhongjun and others have retired one after another, but Lu Tonghua is still staying on the front line.
Qin Haichuan took his family to the Maldives for a trip. He sent photos a few days ago and they had a really great time.
Tang Yuheng travels around the country, and goes to different places every year.
Wu Zhongjun was relatively miserable. He had a lot of things to do at home, which made it impossible for him to go out and play.
Even so, Wu Zhongjun himself feels that his retirement life is better than his previous days in the team.
Although retirement life is very good, for Lu Tonghua, the exciting life of dancing on the edge of a knife is what living a life is all about.
Drip!
It was at this moment that the smart watch on Lu Tonghua's wrist received the message.
Here comes the mission!
Luo Jiayun, Yuan Zuhuai, Fu Yaowei, Xie Hanjiang, Liu Zhigang and others also put down the dice in their hands and stopped playing.
They take their mission very seriously because it concerns their lives.
"What? To assassinate the Somali warlord Aidid?"
Of course, after the mission details came out, all the team members, including Lu Tonghua, were surprised.
The Crapoint Hotel is a safe and secluded place, so Lu Tonghua and the others are not worried about information leakage.
Lu Tonghua and others all knew Aidid, the most powerful warlord in Somalia.
Because the Black Hawk Down incident was famous all over the world, Lu Tonghua and others certainly knew about it. Although Aidid, the warlord, was arrogant, he was definitely a ruthless person.
There were more than a hundred people from the Delta Special Forces, but Aidid managed to escape.
Afterwards, Aidid even dared to hold a corpse parade for the Delta Force soldiers. That was so awesome.
However, Lu Tonghua and the others did not expect that the mission now was to assassinate Aidid, which was a bit unbelievable.
I'm afraid there is some conspiracy here?
But these have nothing to do with Lu Tonghua's team. They believe that the Dark Night King will not frame their team.
In the entire Dark Night King organization, it is impossible to make a team disappear or slander a team.
Even some conspiracies behind the mission are unlikely to occur, simply because the management of the Dark Night King will handle these matters.
After joining the Dark Night Lords for so many years, Lu Tonghua is very familiar with this organization. If something like this had happened, he would not have stayed there for so long.
Just kidding, even a couple may dislike each other after a long time and have quarrels and fights, let alone a huge organization like the Dark Night King?
But Lu Tonghua has been in this organization for so many years and has never shown up once, so he would not doubt these things at all.
However, just when Lu Tonghua was about to take on the task, he was told that someone else had already taken the order.
"Fuck, what's going on?"
The situation of having orders snatched away by others has become more and more frequent in the past one or two years, simply because the current situation is that there are too many people and too little work to do.
Before 1992, there were many tasks and everyone chose one at random.
There was nothing wrong with being picky at that time, after all, there were indeed many major international events at that time.
It is different now. Many areas are relatively stable, and of course there are not so many tasks.
"What else could it be? Someone else took over the order. Come on, continue."
Xie Hanjiang rolled his eyes and told everyone to continue having fun.
If there are no tasks, then just have fun.
However, as soon as Xie Hanjiang finished speaking, another task came.
This time, Lu Tonghua took on the task without any hesitation.
"Fuck, this, this, this, they actually want to assassinate Tang Dake? And they even want to make sure he hits the target with one strike to ensure his true medical death?"
Medical death refers to brain death, that is, the EEG is completely straight and no bioelectric signals can be detected in the brain.
However, for Lu Tonghua and others, medical death can only be achieved by a bullet shot to the brain.
Assassinating a person is not a big problem, the problem is to assassinate Tang Dake.
And who is Tang Dake?
After seeing the mission details, Xie Hanjiang, Luo Jiayun, Fu Yaowei, Yuan Zuhuai, Liu Zhigang and others all took a deep breath.
What a good guy!
I have to say, this mission is really awesome.
However, when everyone saw that the mission bonus was as high as 50 million US dollars, their eyes widened.
However, a mission bonus of 50 million US dollars has not appeared for a long time.
Lu Tonghua and his team are indeed very strong, but they are not professional killers.
We are forced by the current environment, so there is no other way.
Especially in the past one or two years, the Federal Reserve has been raising interest rates. The funds of Lu Tonghua and his team are basically kept in relevant bank accounts in North America, because only in this way can they outperform inflation.
Take Lu Tonghua himself for example. He has been in this team under the Dark Night King for twelve years and his current net worth has exceeded 500 million US dollars.
This amount of money is very huge, and Lu Tonghua has divided it up, using part of it for investment, putting part of it in bank deposits, buying gold, and taking it out as cash, storing it directly in safe houses around the world. Lu Tonghua's own safe house is unknown to others only to himself.
The total amount of funds that the bank has on a regular basis is 200 million US dollars.
This is only because starting in 1992, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates from the initial percent to the current percent.
Only veterans who have worked in the financial industry for many years can guarantee a rate of return of .
However, now that the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates to such an alarming level, is there any need to ask? Just deposit your money in the bank and earn the interest.
In fact, people like Lu Tonghua don’t understand finance, otherwise they would definitely not do this.
Of course, the banks where they deposited their money were not those of the capitalists in North America, but several bank accounts designated by the Dark Night King.
These banks are well-known around the world and have excellent credibility.
The reason why the Dark Night King designated a bank for Lu Tonghua and his friends to deposit their money was because the amount of funds they had was not small.
If they are in other foreign banks such as HSBC, First Citibank, etc., haha, they will investigate their personal circumstances every minute.
Another point is that the funds in Lu Tonghua’s account can also be used as ammunition.
White glove companies such as The Wolf of Wall Street often carry out various investment activities, and these activities require financial support.
Dark forces organizations such as the Dark Night King, Poison Dragon, Christmas Family, Shinjuku Group, Black Bear, etc., have many teams under their command.
There are many people like Lu Tonghua in these teams.
Based on the average capital of 300 million US dollars per person, with so many organizations and so many people, that would amount to more than 100 billion US dollars in capital.
Such a huge amount of funds cannot, of course, be deposited in foreign banks.
Therefore, over the years, the main source of funds for each financial activity carried out by white glove companies such as the Wolf of Wall Street, in addition to their own funds, is the ammunition occasionally provided by Chen Guohua, and more is the funds of people like the Dark Night King.
For those people who carry out life-and-death missions, their financial security level is the highest, because any financial loss on their part would be the greatest irresponsibility to them.
Gu Baishun often discussed this matter with Wang Dingzuo. After all, the funds of the dark forces under his management were almost all used by the white gloves of Wang Dingzuo, so of course he had to be cautious.
"Okay, everyone knows the details of the mission. We will leave in batches and gather in New York at that time. Does anyone have any questions?"
After hearing Lu Tonghua's words, Xie Hanjiang, Luo Jiayun, Liu Zhigang and others nodded and responded that there was no problem.
Just as Lu Tonghua and his team set out to carry out the mission, Lin Zaifu, who was far away on the other side, also saw the mission to assassinate Aidid.
"Hiss, assassinating Aidid? That's absolutely not possible!"
As the captain of the ace team of the Christmas family, Lin Zaifu has strong personal strength and is also a very loyal person.
He has been in the Middle East for so many years and has established a good relationship with Aidid.
Therefore, when he learned about this mission, the first thing he did was to inform Aidid.
However, Lin Zai Fu is not stupid. All his existing equipment is under the control of the Christmas family. If he foolishly notifies Aidid, something bad will definitely happen.
Not only will Aidid be in trouble, but Lin Zaifu will also be in trouble.
So he had to think of other ways.
Taking advantage of the fact that there are no tasks now, Lin Zaifu applied for a half-month leave and temporarily disbanded the team.
He created the illusion that he was traveling to Mauritius, but in fact he found himself in the city of Mogadishu in Somalia.
"Gadebata, where is your boss Aidid?"
In a dilapidated house in Mogadishu, Lin Zaifu met a black man named Gadbata, who was an important younger brother of Aidid.
A few years ago, during the Black Hawk Down incident, Gadbata made many contributions and was rewarded by Aidid with a lot of cash, women and guns.
So now Gadbata has become a local warlord.
"Lin, it's great that you're here, my friend, let's drink!"
Gadbata communicated with Lin Zaifu in his broken English, but the latter was very anxious.
Two days later, Lin Zaifu met Aidid in the small town of Laguar.
The latter was very surprised and happy about Lin Zai Fu's sudden visit. He originally wanted to entertain Lin Zai Fu well, but Lin Zai Fu revealed bad news.
"Aidid, listen to me, seriously, I'm not kidding, someone is really trying to assassinate you, you must remember this"
Lin Zaifu's words shocked Aidid.
"What should I do? Why would your organization come to assassinate me?"
Aidid knew a lot about the organization behind Lin Zaifu, so when he learned that the Christmas family was going to send a team to kill him, he was already panicked.
"Shut up, be quiet and listen to me!" Lin Zai Fu was speechless. Why did he believe this idiot in the first place?
If you fail to succeed, you will fail!
With Aidid's personality, it would be strange if he could escape the attacks of those people.
"Listen to me. I will immediately arrange for someone who looks similar to you to replace you. Remember, you must disappear for a while. During this time, I will protect you."
He and Lin Zaifu can be said to be grasshoppers in the same boat. If one of them falls, it will be a heavy blow to the other.
Lin Zaifu still has to rely on Aidid to get him money, while Aidid needs Lin Zaifu to provide him with security.
There's no way around it, Aidid's position is so damn profitable.
After the Black Hawk Down incident, Aidid started to collect protection fees from passing ships at a very rampant level.
With powerful military support, money and connections, Aidid has grown his army to a size of nearly 100,000 people in just a few years.
Although he has a large number of soldiers under his command, most of them are scattered across Somalia.
Moreover, no matter how many guns and ammunition the Christmas family has, it is useless because their strength is unimaginable.
In 1992, the Delta Force was awesome enough, right?
Aidid organized nearly 10,000 people, and the warlords around Mogadishu also came to support him, with a total size of more than 20,000.
However, facing the more than 100 people commanded by Milstein, the Navy SEALs, Delta Force and others were killed by thousands of people.
With such an amazing record, Lin Zaifu only brought two people for simple support and killed nearly thirty of Milstein's men.
The team consisted of only a hundred people in total, but they were being crazily slaughtered by Lin Zaifu and his men.
It can also be seen from here that Lin Zaifu and his team are indeed too strong.
Therefore, Aidid trusted Lin Zaifu's words very much, knowing that with the other party's protection, his life was saved.
But, is it possible? (End of this chapter)
