Even if Ouyang Shuo offered a high price, the Black Mamba was still doubtful.
"Money is only one aspect." The Black Mamba paused and organized his words before saying tactfully, "The most important thing is that our brothers are used to being undisciplined. I'm afraid they won't be able to adapt to staying in the same place."
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Brother Black, you don't have to be in a hurry to refuse. You can listen to my arrangements for the [Rattlesnake Mercenary Group] first before making your decision."
"Please speak!"
"If the [Rattlesnake Mercenary Group] moves to Shanhai City, there are four options." Ouyang Shuo's thoughts became clearer as he said slowly, "First, to be a spy in the military intelligence department. Second, to be an instructor in the special combat training base. Third, to enter the Shanhai City army as a scout squadron leader or a battalion commander. You can choose. In the future, it's not impossible to accumulate military merits and be promoted to a brigade commander. "
The position of brigade commander was the red line drawn by Ouyang Shuo. Above that, the commander of a division had to be an NPC general. No matter how confident Ouyang Shuo was, he didn't dare to hand over an army of tens of thousands to a player.
Ouyang Shuo's first three conditions had already moved the Black Mamba, especially the third one.
The Black Mamba knew that there wasn't a single player in the Shanhai City army. Obviously, in order to rope them in, Ouyang Shuo had broken the rules of the army.
His sincerity could not be said to be insufficient.
What was even more rare was that the three options catered to three types of personnel. Basically, the members of the Rattlesnake Mercenary Group could find a suitable position in Shanhai City according to their preferences and specialties.
Even so, the Black Mamba was still calm and collected.
He wanted to hear the last option of Ouyang Shuo.
After all, although the first three options were tempting, they still had to stay in the territory and accept the leadership of the Shanhai City army. This still didn't solve the most important problem.
As mercenaries, some members liked to go around and inquire about information. They didn't want to be cooped up in one place.
"The last option is related to you, Brother Black."
Ouyang Shuo glanced at the Black Mamba and said with a smile.
"Related to me?"
Immediately, the Black Mamba's interest was completely aroused.
The Black Mamba Snake was doubtful. There was another reason. Perhaps it didn't think that it would subconsciously reject Ouyang Shuo's proposal.
One of the reasons was that Ouyang Shuo's plan seemed to have nothing to do with the Black Mamba Snake. As the leader of the [Rattlesnake Mercenary Group], Black Mamba couldn't accept that his power would fall to someone else.
"Not bad." Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Brother Hei, you should know that Shanhai City has set up offices in the nine royal cities. On the surface, the office was just a point of contact. Secretly, it's also an intelligence station. "
The Black Mamba Snake understood. This kind of arrangement was too common. In the real world, embassies stationed abroad had the same responsibilities.
"The original intention of building the intelligence station was good, but the reality is very cruel. I've never been satisfied with the work of the intelligence station in Royal City. Basically, they haven't obtained any important information. "
At this point, Ouyang Shuo could only shake his head and sigh. If the various intelligence stations had been a little more helpful in investigating the Bloodshed incident, Ouyang Shuo wouldn't have asked Rattlesnake for help.
"You mean, you want me to preside over the intelligence station?"
The Black Mamba Snake's expression was a little displeased. An intelligence station chief was not worthy of his attention. In comparison, the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau was even more important than the director of the intelligence station.
He couldn't be worse than Cobra, right?!
Ouyang Shuo smiled and said, "Of course, I won't let Brother Hei suffer like this. I'm preparing to set up an organization called the Black Snake Guard. With the nine intelligence stations in Royal City as the center, it will radiate to the entire China region. It will be responsible for the investigation, analysis, and organization of external intelligence in the territory. I wonder if Brother Hei is interested in being in charge of establishing and leading the Black Snake Guard? "
The Black Mamba Snake's eyes lit up when he heard this.
According to Ouyang Shuo's description, the authority of the Black Snake Guard was very big. The position of the Black Snake Guard was similar to the CIA in the early years, mainly responsible for external intelligence.
In Ouyang Shuo's plan, the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Black Snake Guard, and the yet to be established security bureau would be the three intelligence agencies of the territory in the future.
The Military Intelligence Bureau was only responsible for military intelligence, and the Black Snake Guard could only operate outside the territory.
The security bureau was responsible for monitoring all activities and personnel in the territory. Its position was above the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Black Snake Guard, and it was the core intelligence agency in Ouyang Shuo's plan.
It was because of the security bureau's supervision that Ouyang Shuo could be at ease and let the Black Mamba Snake establish the Black Snake Guard.
The security bureau, this heavyweight department, had not been established, mainly because Ouyang Shuo could not find a suitable candidate to be in charge of establishing and leading the security bureau.
Without a doubt, the security bureau had to be Ouyang Shuo's most trustworthy person.
At the same time, since they were in charge of monitoring the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Black Snake Guard, the security bureau's ability in intelligence work was naturally very high. Among the territory's NPCs, even maintaining the operations of the Military Intelligence Bureau was hard enough. Who else had the ability to shoulder this heavy responsibility?
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo could only delay the establishment of the security bureau.
And with the future change of generals in the Military Intelligence Bureau and the establishment of the Black Snake Guard, the establishment of the security bureau had to be put on the agenda, and became one of Ouyang Shuo's key tasks.
Ouyang Shuo's promise was really full of sincerity.
After the Black Mamba Snake weighed the pros and cons, it said, "I accept your proposal!"
As it spoke, the Black Mamba Snake got up and came before Ouyang Shuo. It cupped its fists and bowed, saying, "The Black Snake greets the Marquis!"
Ouyang Shuo accepted it calmly.
[Black Snake] officially became the code name of the Black Mamba Snake in the Black Snake Guard.
Next, the two discussed some specific details.
First, the [Rattlesnake Mercenary Group] left the newly established guild alliance and officially disbanded.
More than five hundred mercenary group members were divided into the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Special Combat Training Base, the army, and the Black Snake Guard according to the principle of voluntary participation.
From today onwards, the [Rattlesnake] would become a term in history and no longer exist.
Second, every mercenary group member would receive a one-time settlement fee of two hundred gold coins. The five core members would receive a one-time settlement fee of one thousand gold coins.
As for the Black Mamba Snake, Ouyang Shuo paid a one-time settlement fee of five thousand gold coins.
The families of the mercenary group members would all be moved to Shanhai City to settle down. Every family would be given a small courtyard free of charge with all the daily necessities.
Just the settlement fee alone, Ouyang Shuo took out one hundred and twenty thousand gold coins.
The Black Mamba Snake really had nothing to say about Ouyang Shuo's generosity and extravagance.
And to Ouyang Shuo, to be able to use one hundred and twenty thousand gold coins to take over the [Rattlesnake Mercenary Group] was a very good deal. It could be foreseen that with the addition of the Rattlesnake Mercenary Group, the improvement to the territory would be comprehensive.
Not to mention anything else, just in terms of intelligence, they would receive a qualitative improvement.
With the expansion of the territory, coupled with the increasingly complicated external environment, intelligence work would become a key basis for the territory's decisions. It was not an exaggeration to place great importance on it.
Of course, Ouyang Shuo was not a fool. There had to be restraints.
More than five hundred mercenary group members would individually sign an employment contract and a confidentiality agreement with Ouyang Shuo. The contract would stipulate harsh clauses for breach of contract.
As such, it could prevent betrayal to the greatest extent.
To the Black Mamba Snake, this was also an important assessment indicator.
Ouyang Shuo handed the Black Snake Guard to the Black Mamba Snake, so he had to be responsible for the loyalty of the Black Snake Guard members.
Third, regarding the Black Snake Guard's funding.
Ouyang Shuo promised that in the second year of Gaia, the Black Snake Guard would receive three thousand gold coins a month.
The next year's budget would be determined based on the Black Snake Guard's work results. The general principle was that the next year's budget would not be lower than Gaia's standard for the second year.
In addition, Ouyang Shuo also prepared an additional ten thousand gold coins as the Black Snake Guard's start-up funds.
As such, Ouyang Shuo's expenses could be said to be astonishing.
Helpless, Ouyang Shuo could only use the two hundred thousand gold coins gold note that Bing'er had drawn.
Thankfully, with the financial revenue in February, and a cooperation in Ouyang Shuo's rules, he could obtain a large sum of funds in a short period of time.
When the funds flowed, Ouyang Shuo could fill in the funds. After all, Bing'er's two hundred thousand gold coins were used to build Cliff Mountain City. Ouyang Shuo would not use it easily.
After the discussion, the Black Mamba Snake did not stay in Shanhai City and immediately returned to Jianye. Following that, the disbandment and relocation of the mercenary group would be carried out by the Black Mamba Snake.
After the Black Mamba Snake left, Ouyang Shuo found Tao Wu and the rest.
Tao Wu's Wan Shi County was located in the capital region.
Ouyang Shuo wanted to understand Di Chen's latest movements through Tao Wu.
According to Tao Wu, after the battle of Lianzhou, Di Chen suddenly accelerated the pace of annexation of the surrounding territories.
In less than two months, the basin where Handan County was located and the rest of the players' territories were almost swept clean. They either surrendered or were eradicated.
Although Handan County was not promoted to a county city, it had achieved the same strategic goal as Shanhai City.
Ouyang Shuo raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Sure enough, the foundation of the aristocratic families was really beyond imagination.
Di Chen and the rest had probably started to make arrangements from the moment they chose the location to build the village.
Today's operation was just to pull in the net ahead of time.
Di Chen might have also realized that since his territory had no hope of becoming a county city in the near future, he had to carry out the annexation of the territory if he did not want to be left far behind by Shanhai City.
Of course, if Di Chen did not have the fusion token, such a radical annexation strategy would still have some hidden dangers. For example, in the future population base of the basin, he would suffer a lot.
To Di Chen, in order to consolidate his position, this hidden danger was still acceptable.
After all, these big forces still had considerable influence and dominance among the players. At worst, they could bring in a large number of players to settle in their territory. (To be continued.)
