Chapter 100 Betrayal (1)
Chapter 100 Commemoration! Finally Chapter 100~~~
===========================================================================================================================================================================================================
A few hours later, in Rhode's neat and clean bedroom, Klose, who had just been promoted to deputy commander of the mercenary regiment, stood up straight. In front of this man, Rhode was still wearing black military uniform.
"Okay, Frey, Deputy Commander Klose and I have something to talk about, so you can go out first." Rhode saw Frey bringing tea and waved his hand to let the latter avoid it.
"Yeah." Frey nodded obediently and went out with the teapot. After Rhode's training, the arrogance that once belonged to the second generation of officials had disappeared without a trace.
"Black bear, don't be so nervous, sit down." Rod asked Kloze to sit down first, and then slowly said: "There is no abnormality on the MS troops."
Kloze was stunned, as if he didn't know what Rhode was talking about, but he was a professional officer after all, and he understood in a flash: "There is no problem. All pilots are selected by me personally, at least they are absolutely loyal to you."
"Very good!" Rhode nodded with satisfaction. The Fenrier and the MS Squadron are both his direct descendants, and this cannot be changed by anyone. In the past few months, whether it is military achievements or rewards, Rhode has tightly won over these direct descendants by his side, and his personal prestige is unparalleled in the group.
"So tell me what other places in the mercenary group are not loyal to me enough?" Rhode was not satisfied at all. He always wanted to let the entire mercenary group circle around him, although this was impossible.
The mercenary group is similar to the regular army, but there are many factions inside.
"The Wolf's Cave Guards and the group of people who came from the Earth Army are not sure." Klose thought for a moment.
"Garage... Go and tell Paul Jackson that he will take over the command of the Marines. As for the people of the Earth Army, they are scattered in various departments and cannot cause any storms, please arrange it." Rhodes gave the answer after thinking for a few seconds. Originally, the Marines were commanded by Klose, but the latter often had to be dispatched with the Fenrier, and reliable people must control this power.
"Yes!" Klose agreed directly without much doubt to the awe-inducing officer in front of him. However, as soon as he walked to the door, a cold voice came from behind him: "When Katharine comes back, tell her to closely monitor all communications inside and outside the base, and report me as soon as possible if there is any problem. Also, let the Marines be prepared and I will use theirs at any time."
Klose was shocked when he heard this, but he nodded and walked out.
The two of them talked differently to Rhodes. In a secret warehouse on the base floor, dozens of people were standing or sitting in the middle. The one surrounded by a crowd was the wolf's burrow manager, Black Panther. Next to the middle-aged man, there was another heavyweight, the first deputy commander of Silver Wolf, "Knight".
The room was filled with smoke, and it goes without saying that the mercenaries had already treated the warehouse as a smoking room when they encountered difficult problems.
"Knight, tell me, for the person you once loyal to." Black Panther looked at the knight with some sarcasm. He was the oldest and could ignore the merits made by Rhodes. The same is true for this knight. Such an old qualification was suppressed by that man so much that he had no power to fight back.
"Black Panther, I just want to ask if we are doing this for the sake of the brothers in the group? Although Rhodes have become different now than before, the mercenary group is indeed growing. Whether it is capital or equipment, we have reached the peak of history."
"Hmph, grow stronger? That man just wants to pull his brothers into the abyss. His series of big moves have violated the iron law of the regiment - making money outside of war, he has made the Silver Wolf more and more fallen into war. Our strength is indeed stronger than before, but can it surpass giants like the Earth Federation and PLANT?"
Black Panther was a little excited. He was considered a conservative leader. He looked down on Rhodes after the collapse of the Silver Wolf Earth headquarters. In recent months, the large number of casualties in the mercenary group have reached the peak of history. The continuous newcomers have joined in exchange for the departure of old faces.
In his opinion, mercenaries should not be close to any force, and only accept some small commissions, which is enough to operate within the regiment. However, that man clearly wanted to build a group of mercenaries into an elite army, and everything was closer to the regular army, whether in scientific research or logistics.
The most disgusting thing is that Rhodes actually purged the regiment and turned the mercenary group that he had spoken freely before into his own dictatorial army!
"This is the fact." The Knight nodded a little disheartened. He had been advising Rhodes, but the latter was obviously getting worse.
"Then we must oppose him and use our own strength." Black Panther stood up and looked around the dozens of people surrounding him and said, "Our regiment commander has deviated from his oath. What do you think should you do!?"
"Kill this bastard who is raised by the bitch!"
"Let him go to hell!"
The group of people were excited. There were ambitious people and lucky people who survived the last purge. In short, they were all guys who were dissatisfied with the current status of the mercenary group.
"Very good, did you hear the knight? This is the call of your brothers." Black Panther bent down and said to the knight word by word.
"This is not the reason why we point our weapons at the brothers. I suggest a more peaceful approach. According to the regiment rules, if a certain number of brothers oppose the regiment commander, the regiment commander must resign." The Knight looked at Black Panther fearlessly and said.
"Wake up, knight, look at what the regiment has become since the last cleaning? The officers are all his traits. Who do you want to connect with? That stupid black bear or the devil-like Paul Jackson? They will only cut off your head and send it to seek credit!" Black Panther still said with a sarcastic tone, but he didn't say one thing, that is, under Rhode's brilliant military achievements, the soldiers in the regiment worshipped them very much.
After being said by Black Panther, the Knight was silent. He has always been a senior executive of the mercenary group. Naturally, he knows what is going on inside the group. It can be said that except for the more than 30 people standing here, everyone else is Rhode's supporter. This man has been using his wrists since he was injured last time. Unconsciously, all the officers were won over.
"Then we have no chance of winning." The Cavalier said slowly: "I am almost wiped out now. Neither the Fenrir nor the base have their own strength."
"But you and I still have prestige! As long as you kill Rhodes and his dog legs, the people below don't have to worry! Those old guys won't do it against us either." Black Panther was obviously very confident. He had his own belief and would not betray the Silver Wolf in order to overthrow Rhodes. Therefore, under such a huge power comparison, he did not rely on external forces.
"What should we do?" The Knight was relieved when he heard that he had only eliminated Rhodes. He was actually most afraid of causing a large-scale fight in the regiment, and it would be much better to kill only a few people. Everyone present was a murderer without blinking, and there was no so much hesitation.
"Before the Fenrier set off, we will act separately. I will control the central control room. You will bring people to gather Rhodes and these people in the name of a meeting, and then put them under house arrest." It seems that the Black Panther has already planned it, and he took out a list, which includes almost 90% of the officers.
"Well, these are almost all of them." The Knight looked at it, and then passed on the list.
"We are divided into two groups. I will lead one to the central control room. You will lead the second group to the conference room. Pay attention to collecting ammunition during this period, and the more the better." Black Panther took out the detailed plan and circulated it to the Knight. After the latter remembered it, immediately ignited the documents.
"Is this the purpose of pulling me into the water?" The knight smiled. The guns in the mercenary group were all personal items, but ammunition was distributed uniformly. In this base without any military operations, there was no ammunition except for the officers' self-defense weapons, and they could only be fire sticks.
However, as the first deputy commander of government affairs, the Knight has the authority to issue ammunition in the name of training, which is the key.
