Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 232 Gang

  January 26, afternoon

   After dinner, Veraker and Keating began to divide into two groups, and went out to investigate the surrounding neighborhoods and even the entire Old South Treaty through various means, in order to understand the power structure and make plans for the next step.

   It took two days in a row before the two of them almost figured out the main situation of several nearby blocks and some information about the whole city.

  January 28, evening

"The area nearby is where the local gang 'Blood Knife Gang' headed by Boss Xin is active. Besides them, there are six or seven larger local gangs in the urban area, all occupying a certain place." Inside the hotel, Wei Lak and Keating sat opposite each other and shared the information they had, "In addition to the intricate local gangs, there are more than ten gangs formed spontaneously by outsiders, all of whom live in the local area according to nationality and race. different regions."

"Xin led hundreds of members of the Blood Knife Gang, and controlled several slaughterhouses, butcher shops, restaurants, and the most critical Quinn Tavern and cold chain transportation. Over the past twenty years, he has accumulated a profound background. If there is One day the situation really fell to the point where we had to fight head-to-head with them for gold, and I think the possibility of our victory is very slim." It was late at night, and the room was a bit cold, Keating was wrapped in his clothes, drinking warm coffee from time to time warm up.

  Verak didn't want to be so pessimistic, but he couldn't deny the objective facts: "What you said makes sense, so we still have to buy the Quinn Tavern as much as possible and get back the gold quietly."

"Continue to make a plan. Our plan is divided into a main plan and a backup plan. The main plan is for you to negotiate with Xin and the others and try to buy the Quinn Tavern. If the purchase fails, we will activate the backup plan and use foreign gangs If I confront them head-on, in the end I will negotiate directly, either share the gold together, or let everyone know about the trouble, and no one can take any benefits."

Verac propped his chin on one hand, and after listening to Keating's general framework, he thought there was nothing wrong with it, so he began to talk about the details along this line of thought: "Then what we have to consider is how to talk to Boss Xin and the others so that we can buy as much as possible." Go to the Quinn Tavern, and after the purchase failed, how to use the power of the foreign gang to compete with Boss Xin and get back the gold."

   "That's right, just these two aspects."

"Buying a tavern is good for us because Boss Xin is greedy for money, and bad for us is that they are very xenophobic, and I have already gone there once under the excuse of paying back the money. , it will exacerbate their distrust of me." Verak cited several important factors, "In this way, it would be better if we could actually find locals to help us."

"The less people involved, the better. As for the issues of mistrust and xenophobia, I don't think it's worth mentioning in front of money. As long as they don't know the existence of gold, it's not a big problem to buy the tavern. So this aspect needs to be considered There is actually only one problem, how do you get out after they know the existence of gold and doubt your identity?"

  The gold came from Brecy, and Verac has already explained his origin, plus a return of gratitude and a visit to buy the tavern. If Boss Xin knows the existence of gold, he will inevitably doubt Verak's real purpose. In this chaotic place of right and wrong, for the safety of gold, they will not let Verak go.

   Only when Verak escaped successfully can he continue with the backup plan and bring in the foreign gangs. If he can't get out of the tavern, Keating must go there to save people himself.

"With a gun." Verac didn't put the gun at his waist on the table this time, "According to my investigation, few gangs in the Old South Treaty used guns, or they disdain to use guns, thinking that using guns to fight is not a good idea." unfair."

   "Yes, in my impression, gang fights have always been with cold weapons." Keating glanced at Verak's waist, "But according to your marksmanship, I still think the risk is very high."

   When attacking the government building, Verak rushed ahead of anyone else, but the bullets from both magazines did not hurt the enemy at all.

  After this story spread in the Equality Association, everyone usually took it as a joke.

"I practiced a lot on the way here. If you are really worried, give me your gun too. Unless they don't hesitate to kill or injure ten people, they won't be able to keep me." Verak is not so conceited that he thinks he can do it 100% After the negotiation fails, you can leave safely, but you also have a greater certainty, "And before that, we can make preparations in advance. For example, if you drive a car nearby, I just need to leave the tavern and get in the car. Dangerous situation, not to be surrounded by them in the block."

   "If this is the case, it is indeed feasible." Keating thought about it for a while, and temporarily agreed with Veraker's plan. Anyway, there is nothing to pay attention to if you tear yourself apart at that time, the most important thing is to escape.

  The night was getting deeper, and the cold wind was blowing outside. Verak got up and drew the curtains, which could somewhat resist the air-conditioning: "As for the backup plan, let's talk about it after I get mixed up with a foreign gang."

"Can."

  They don't know anything about the specific situation of the foreign gangs, so they can't discuss at all.

"There are three main groups of foreign gangs, among which the Montrego people are the most powerful, followed by the Sder people and the Blesi people." Keating also stood up and moved his body, "And here, the Montrego people are The ones who are most hostile to the Dunmans are because Dunmans tried to dominate the south because of their geographical advantages fifteen years ago, so they sent troops to occupy the territory of Menglege million."

"I have heard a little about this. Menglege was defeated in the Dunmeng War, tens of thousands of soldiers were killed, and one-third of the country was taken away. Since then, the political situation there has become very unstable, almost once a year. Change, change twice a year." Diaz is from Montrego, and Verac heard him mention it when chatting.

Keating paced back and forth: "That's why Montrego, who lived in the fiery waters, had no choice but to come to live in Dunman. It is worth mentioning that Dunman has both the Montrego who became a citizen of Dunman after invading the territory of Montrego. Lego people, there are also Montrego citizens who still accept the rule of Montrego. Although the rights and interests enjoyed by the two in Dunman are different, the local people of Dunman still agree that they are all losers and predators.”

   "Monrego's political chaos has caused so many people to suffer..."

"What you want to join is the 'Sea Rat Gang', the largest gang established by the Briesi in the Old South." Keating did not share his emotions with Verac, but first pointed out his whereabouts tomorrow, "Enter the Sea Rat Gang After that, you have to improvise."

   "You can rest assured about this." Verak is very confident in his ability to adapt to the environment. "I will understand the situation as soon as possible and improve our plan."

   "I'm relieved." Keating never questioned Veraker's talent from the beginning to the end.
