Chapter 163: Fishing for Information

As a commander who had ambushed the Shawute government army in this canyon, how could Li Boyong not think of the possibility of his own convoy being ambushed?

So he arranged for the Xia sisters as a detachment to follow a bit behind on the cliffs on both sides as a countermeasure against the ambush.

It was also thanks to showing off his skills last time that he stunned the Xia sisters, and his orders were well executed.

However, in order to avoid losses, the convoy following Li Boyong actually didn't have valuable goods; the real goods were in a convoy behind, and these in front were just bait.

Of course, casualties were definitely unavoidable.

It was just that they were all errand runners hired by Amalgam, and Li Boyong didn't feel heartache if they died.

After the convoy behind caught up, Li Boyong set off again.

And the mercenary troops hired by the Maozi remained here, becoming wrecks in the canyon.

Three days later, Li Boyong connected with the underground merchant arranged by the Helmakistan government, and while handing over the goods, he successfully received the payment for the goods.

Of course, there would be a final payment entering Leonard's account later, but that was none of Li Boyong's business.

Anyway, he successfully completed his work and started returning to the Ankra region with his subordinates and the banknotes in his hands.

In addition to the hefty commission, as the agent for the Ankra region, he could also get some kickbacks from this business passing through his jurisdiction. Adding it all up, he had more money to buy another M6.

Of course, the premise was that the price of that M6 was the discounted price he got through Amalgam's internal channels.

Seriously, the arms business is really profitable.

No wonder so many arms dealers don't take the lives of civilians in conflict zones seriously.

Human rights?

Peace?

Move aside, hurry up and buy my weapons to start fighting.

Whoever buys more weapons and has advanced weapons can plunder and dominate the enemy.

Isn't that better than slowly developing?

It was under the drive of such interests that the conflicts on this land had never stopped.

Of course, it was also thanks to the oil fields that generally existed on this land; the false prosperity brought by oil field exploitation allowed the war interest games of warlords and arms dealers to continue for so long.

Long-term piloting of an AS is very boring and physically exhausting, especially in the cockpit of a Savage that pursues cost-effectiveness, which as always heated Li Boyong up like a dog.

"Yufang-chan, Yulan-chan, this time when we arrive in Ankra, you can take a bath to your heart's content, and then go back to Leonard's side."

Bored, he started blabbering to the Xia sisters again, "Of course, this time it's free; you don't need to defeat me to bathe."

"Thank you," Yufang replied calmly, seeming not to feel offended at all, but Yulan cut with dissatisfaction.

Although her sister was a poker face like her sister, she had always been more straightforward and willful than her sister.

"By the way, by the way." Li Boyong continued to chat, "After this mission ends, the branch in the Ankra region can start to be established. Are you interested in working for a while?"

Once the branch was established, he, a wage earner, could start accepting some business.

After having fixed business, Leonard promised to recommend him to become an executive.

If successful, other than the executive officer, other executives would not be able to interfere with the affairs of this region.

Of course, according to Li Boyong's understanding, although Amalgam executives did not belong to each other and could not interfere with daily affairs, their strength varied.

At the same time, there were two special ones among the current executives, namely the Xia sisters' teacher Jiulong and the executive unit commander Gates.

These two existed as candidates for executive officer, and it could be said that their status was vaguely higher than other executives.

"No, thank you. We are going back to Lord Leonard's side. After the things around that Lord are done, we will return to our teacher's side," Yufang said. Yulan cut with dissatisfaction again, seeming to feel that there was no need for her sister to say so much to Li Boyong.

"Is that so? By the way, what is your teacher doing now?"

"This, we don't know."

The interest in chatting was completely killed by Yufang's emotionless Q&A mode, and Li Boyong shut his mouth in disappointment.

Until returning to the Ankra region, Li Boyong tried several times but couldn't get any useful intelligence from the Xia sisters.

He could only provide them with some bathwater for free, and let them take the money and other subordinates back to Leonard's side.

That night, Li Boyong called Wang Liumei and Shihe to discuss future arrangements.

Since he had actually come into contact with the Amalgam organization and successfully infiltrated it, he could now discuss some things about the organization with Wang Liumei and Shihe without being suppressed by the system.

"This mission went very smoothly. Next is the establishment of the branch and promotion to executive. If successful, we can get more assistance from Amalgam," Li Boyong started.

"Sounds good, but they will definitely have requirements," Wang Liumei asked.

"Indeed, that guy Leonard recommended me to join the organization and supported me vigorously, just to build the Ankra Independent Government into a military government in the future and dominate the surrounding areas."

Li Boyong said, "In that case, the situation in the surrounding areas will be more chaotic, and he can sell arms to countries including us."

Of course, Li Boyong didn't dare to say anything about Wang Liumei. Otherwise, he was afraid that before Wang Liumei started making trouble, Shihe would shoot him with a beam gun.

Like Leonard wanting Wang Liumei to be Li Boyong's servant.

Like Leonard letting Wang Liumei wear a maid outfit for Li Boyong to see.

Like letting Wang Liumei serve Li Boyong... cough cough.

Anyway, these things were impossible, so don't say them out and let Shihe know.

"What's your take? Is continuing to work for Amalgam a wise choice?" Wang Liumei asked, "What will you do if he asks you to start a war?"

"That depends on your cooperation and acting skills." Li Boyong gave the other party an "I trust you" expression.

Wang Liumei's mouth twitched, and she changed the subject, "Sister Shihe, how is your progress?"

"The operating systems for the AS team have all been replaced, and the modification work for my and A-Yong's M6s has also been completed," Shihe said, "The training of the team members is also in progress. It will take some time to adapt to the new system, but I believe that after adaptation, the combat effectiveness will be greatly improved."

"That's good," Wang Liumei nodded, "Next, I will simply talk about my situation."

"The independent government is operating well and has begun to possess the functions that a national government should have."

"At the same time, the reorganization of the army has begun, and everything is proceeding steadily. Although there have been movements due to someone's news these past few days, they have all been suppressed by the elders."

"Economically, it is also gradually improving as planned, and oil refineries and light industrial plants have been put into use." ===== CHAPTER 164 =====
