Chapter 3428: Long-Term Planning
Lenny knows what everyone is thinking. This is the first time they have experienced such a battle. This is far from the place where they lived before.
"Qin Gang, do you know the true strength of the Lieyan mercenaries?"
"What are you afraid of! There are so many of them and how many of us have killed them. Are we still afraid of them?"
Qin Gang said very domineeringly, but what Lenny said next made Qin Gang's face become heavy.
Lenny gave everyone a detailed introduction to what the Flame Mercenary Group is and the rules of the game on this battlefield.
"The Flame Mercenaries, one of them, General Freeman, is a retired soldier from a Western country. He came here ten years ago and founded the Flame Mercenaries. In just ten years, it became the fifth largest existence."
These were all founded by Freeman. When Freeman came here, he was the only one.
Later, he attracted those comrades who retired with him, recruited local personnel for training, and soon established his own team.
Freeman adopted military management and applied everything he learned in the army to this group of mercenaries. It was precisely because of him that the Flame Mercenaries grew rapidly.
"Do you think it's so easy for a group of mercenaries to gain a foothold in the local area and compete with others for food?"
Lenny's words left Qin Gang unable to answer, and Freeman's abilities were far more than that.
"Freeman can develop and survive here. In addition to these, he also knows the Mafia people, so Freeman's mercenaries and new weapons and ammunition will always be obtained as soon as possible."
This is Freeman's advantage. The quality of the combatants and the firearms and equipment used are all first-class. With this, Freeman is in an invincible position.
"Flame mercenaries, large and small, have performed hundreds of missions, and only failed three times."
"this……"
"Do you think it's as simple as just killing those people? Qin Gang, if you were Freeman and his deputy and team members were killed, might he choose to endure it?"
This is a very simple question with a clear answer. Freeman will naturally not let Xu Qiang and the others go.
It was not just a matter of loss, it was also related to the dignity of the mercenaries. Looking back now, Qin Gang was afraid at first. Fortunately, he did not make any unauthorized decisions at the time.
"Freeman's mercenary group has more than 300 members. This is just a part of it, and there are private connections between Freeman and several other relatively powerful mercenaries."
Lenny's words were very clear and understandable. If you still don't understand the meaning, then it can only mean one problem. Your brain is really full of water.
If they had really killed Freeman's deputy before, you can imagine what the result would be. With the current strength of the mercenaries, they would not be able to withstand the opponent's anger at all.
This is a very simple rule, show weakness to the enemy.
No matter how capable you are individually, this is a collective, a mercenary force.
Even if you are capable, you still have to learn to be patient in a place like this, because in the end those who survive are the ones with strong tolerance.
"We defeated Freeman this time. The best choice is to let his people go. Even if Freeman comes to settle the score with us afterwards, at least we won't be caught."
Lenny agreed with Xu Qiang's approach. After some hardships in life, Xu Qiang became much smarter and did not choose to act out of emotion.
Xu Qiang did consider the issue of future survival. Even if he wanted to kill these people in his heart, he had to choose to let these people go for the sake of long-term development in the future.
Everyone's eyes changed from doubts to approval. As expected of their captain, the things on his mind were longer term than theirs.
"Lenny is right. We have just arrived here. There is a Chinese saying that it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies, let alone facing such a strong opponent."
Xu Qiang explained that he let Freeman's deputy leave just because he was weak and had to learn to be patient if he wanted to survive.
"We have a small number of people and lack of combat experience. This victory can be said to be a fluke. If we really have a head-on confrontation, how sure do you think we can survive from Freeman's hands?"
This probability can be said to be almost zero. Xu Qiang did not want to bring his own people with him and end up with his entire army being annihilated not long after he arrived.
"We shouldn't be enemies with them now, but that won't be the case in the future. When we have enough strength, we can naturally let go and don't have to worry so much.
Xu Qiang was holding his breath in his heart. He was obviously beaten, but in the end he wanted to let him go.
He vowed to establish a firm foothold on this land and have enough strength to compete with these people.
After understanding Xu Qiang's intention, Qin Gang knew that he had wrongly blamed Xu Qiang. He had thought wrong before, so he scratched his head and stood in front of Xu Qiang to apologize.
"I'm sorry, Qiangzi. I shouldn't have blamed you wrongly."
"Okay, you and I don't need to be so polite. Let's clean up and get out of this place quickly."
Xu Qiang ordered that he was not sure that Freeman would spare them. The best option now was to retreat.
It happened to be dusk, and after the sun set, the sky would darken, which would be a good cover for their actions.
Everyone is ready to retreat in an orderly manner. The consequences of taking advantage and not leaving are waiting to be beaten.
Freiman organized these people from Yuba and planned to help his deputy and bring his people out.
After finally gathering everything, the team was ready to set off. Freiman saw his deputy and other members walking towards the base.
He thought it was the deputy who led the team out of the encirclement, but after a closer look, his people had no weapons in their hands, and there was no change in the number of people.
The deputy failed in the mission and was too embarrassed to face Freiman. Fortunately, only one of the people he brought died.
This was the best result. The deputy was dejected and came to Freiman to report the situation.
"What's going on? Where are the weapons in your hands? Did you lose them when you ran away?"
Freiman questioned. It was obvious that his people had suffered a defeat. When had the Flame Mercenaries ever had such a record? It was really shameful.
The deputy stood in front of Freiman and confessed his mistakes. As the leader of the team, he had to take full responsibility.
"General, these were all mistakes made by me. The attack we organized was quickly defeated and we were at a disadvantage. In the end, we ran out of bullets. I had no choice but to lead the charge and surrender their weapons."
