of course.
There were also more prisoners.
There are more than one hundred ordinary members, a dozen team leaders, two seriously injured cadres and one cadre who is still being rescued.
Overall, putting aside losses in all aspects, the Quicksand team won a great victory.
Kashiwagi, who captured a cadre alone and assisted Ayana in capturing another cadre, naturally became the biggest contributor to this defense battle.
Even though his original idea was to run away with his accomplices, in terms of results, no one could compare to him in terms of achievements.
Such an exaggerated record also resulted in the later reinforcements from the Stone Group not daring to claim the credit, for fear of offending this "demon tree" whose growth rate was extremely abnormal.
It only takes a few months to beat up the cadres, so what if he is given a few more months?
No one dared to think about it.
the other side.
After the defense battle was over, although the stalemate at Mine No. 2 continued, Kashiwagi was allowed to return to Huangtie Town with a group of injured Sand Group members.
This made him realize that his mission was completely over, but he didn't know how much of a pie Soshiro was willing to give in the face of this record.
"You can never have too much money."
Kashiwagi looked at his savings, which had originally fallen below eight million, but half a month of private cooking successfully increased his savings and successfully charged towards ten million.
Once the battle for the mine is over, I'll find an opportunity to use the clues.
He thought silently and began to wait for news from Mine No. 2.
at the same time.
Inside the Vicious Dog Team's base, Jermatt smashed one thing after another, "Waste! All of you are waste! How can you lose like this!"
Who could have thought that the originally foolproof strategy could be so easily wiped out. Now no one has returned, and they have all been captured by the Quicksand Team!
There are three cadres and more than two hundred formal members. For him, this power is not just about blood and tears, it is no different from cutting flesh!
The drastic reduction in the chips in his hand means that he will suffer huge losses in every aspect in the future.
"Have you found the person? Tell me!"
"I'm so sorry! We searched the entire base but couldn't find him!" The subordinate bent his waist to the extreme, and as expected, he was hit by something from Jemat for his incompetence.
"You are also a waste! Get out!"
"Yes!"
The man walked away dejectedly. When he heard Jemat's angry voice after he went out, he felt panic in his heart.
The situation of the Vicious Dog Team is becoming more and more complicated, and it is unknown where they will go in the future.
-
Two days passed.
With the repeated conflicts at Mine No. 2, the energy of both sides has reached its limit.
The food and drinking water in the mine were running out, and Luo Qi's team from the Vicious Dog Team began to get tired of attacking. The repeated casualties made many team members who had unrealistic ideas come back to reality.
They were just a mob and really didn't want to continue fighting.
Even though the higher-ups have repeatedly stated that if they hold on for a few more days, Mine No. 2 will collapse on its own and they will usher in a big victory.
At this time.
After being misled by intelligence many times, the mayor finally realized that something was wrong and came to the outside of the town in person. He stopped the meaningless fight and urged both sides to sit down and negotiate.
Luo Qi from the Vicious Dog Team didn't want to give face to the mayor, but he didn't come alone. As the top force in the town, the guards he owned were armed differently from those gangsters and could be called "regular army" level.
These people are equipped with cutting-edge technology from the Ourei region.
So no matter how reluctant he was, Luo Qi had no choice but to sit down and negotiate with the Liusha team.
The negotiations lasted half a day.
The two sides clashed several times over arguments.
The final result was the same as planned. The Quicksand Team paid a negligible amount of money to take over the two mines, including some large equipment inside.
As for the miners and the captured dog team members, they are still arguing with each other.
However, both sides are aware that even if the meat that is already in their mouths is difficult to get back, they still have to grab it.
The news of the Quicksand Team's victory quickly spread throughout Huangtie Town. Various forces were either envious or alert. People with foresight even pointed out that the Quicksand Team's offensive would not end just like that.
of course.
These remarks did not affect the reward system within the Liusha team.
The Kashiwa wood, which had performed brilliantly in the defending battle, once again made the name of the demon tree resound throughout the extreme forces of Huangtie Town with its strange posture.
Chapter 120 Candidate Cadres
The day when the big team returned.
Kashiwagi rushed to greet them and found Frobo to try to inquire about the details of the stalemate at Mine No. 2.
Although the latter shook his head and said nothing, it was not difficult to see from his tired and slightly regretful eyes that the Sand Group also paid a considerable price for this.
Fortunately, the team leader unit under the Ryu Singer did not suffer any casualties, but the same could not be said about the ordinary members. Kashiwagi had no way of recognizing all of their faces and could only rely on his memory to slowly compare them.
But some of them don't match.
However, Fropo's silence did not mean that others would not tell the truth. The well-informed Otsuka soon informed Kashiwagi of the number of casualties in the battle.
After hearing the details, Kashiwagi inevitably fell silent.
Talking about the injured alone, more than 100 members of the Sand Group were seriously injured and forced to retire, including several team leaders and a cadre. Although the number of deaths is not large, it symbolizes the lives that have been saved.
The Sand Group suffered heavy losses because of the two mines.
If the Crystal Group comes to cause trouble for the Sand Group again at this time, can they still maintain their usual dominant position?
Kashiwagi didn't know, he just knew that things were heading in a certain direction.
The miners of the Vicious Dog Team returned to the original mine to continue working, and the elderly and children who were insufficient in labor were decisively eliminated - the Quicksand Team looked down on their labor and temporarily arranged them in sheds near the mine.
The captured members of the vicious dog team and several high-ranking officials were placed under house arrest instead of being thrown directly into the underground mine, which made him think of a certain possibility.
Some possibility of expanding the Quicksand Team at the fastest speed.
The next morning.
He received the message from Cang Zhilang and was a little surprised for a moment. This boss should have a lot of things to do, so how could he have time to see him?
When he arrived at the designated location, Kashiwagi finally understood the general reason.
Cang Zhilang was injured, and his injury was not light. A thick circle of bandage could be clearly seen on his waist and abdomen.
Judging from the blood oozing out from the front and back of the bandage when he stood up, it seemed to be a penetrating wound.
Obviously this was left over from the battle with Luo Qi from the Vicious Dog Team, but the latter shouldn't have had an easy time either, otherwise he wouldn't have been unable to defeat him for so long and would have surrendered so easily.
"You surprise me."
Cang Zhilang, who reeked of medicine, looked a little pale, but his voice was still full of authority.
"To be honest, it was not my intention to fight with the cadres. I had to do it purely out of necessity. But fortunately, I survived." Kashiwagi understood that this big guy didn't want to hear those empty words, and he also knew what he wanted to hear - "the truth from his heart."
Just go along with his wishes.
really.
Faced with such straightforward words, Cang Zhilang was not angry, but nodded with satisfaction and said, "You defeated the cadre, and you barely have the strength of a cadre. But you are still young and your prestige in the team is not enough. It would be harmful to you to be promoted directly to a cadre.
"So you are still a candidate cadre for the time being. Later on, you should accumulate more reputation in the team and make more friends so that more people will support you. Then you can become a cadre. Of course, before that, I will allow you to enjoy some of the benefits of a cadre."
“Cadre treatment?”
"You can go to the headquarters building to ask for details. I've already informed you. Go ahead." Cang Zhilang said briefly and after handing over the pie he had drawn earlier, he started to chase people away.
Kashiwagi had no choice but to leave.
What are the benefits for cadres?
As the stratum second only to the highest cadres, cadres are already considered the top echelons of the Quicksand Team. Presumably, their treatment should not be as simple as just going up one level, but at least go up several levels.
Turn around.
He came to the headquarters office building and learned from the administrative staff about some of the cadre benefits that Cang Zhilang had arranged for him.
First, the guaranteed salary increased from 5 million to 30 million per year. Secondly, the scope of the territory was greatly increased - basically from the cadre who was forced to retire, who voluntarily retired after receiving a pension.
The decisiveness of the choice is shocking.
Of course, since Kashiwagi is a candidate cadre, he does not have so many team leaders under him to manage the territory, so it is still managed by the original members of the Quicksand Team, and he is only responsible for collecting money.
In other words, they only take money but cannot expand their influence to the cadre level. This is the so-called treatment of some cadres.
A host of potential benefits, such as benefits for children, are put aside.
The most important thing is that Kashiwagi can make use of the various resources and connections of the Quicksand Team. For example, he can obtain cutting-edge combat uniforms and extraordinary high-tech sent by the superior company at a small price as long as the conditions are right.
For example, if he goes to a large store in the dungeon that is friendly with Team Quicksand, he can directly enjoy VIP treatment; if he goes to a Pokémon massage shop, he can get additional discounts; and if he wants a professional Pokémon breeder to help him prepare the most suitable food for his Pokémon.
Even if you want to find something, whether it's Pokémon or something else, you can just mention it internally and someone will help you find it.
These are just the obvious ones. As long as Kashiwagi is willing to be greedy and Soshiro allows him to be greedy, he can make a fortune by speculating in trade and making a fortune even if the expenses are huge, and it will still be easy for him to save over 100 million.
Other material benefits:
As usual, it was the latest model of hover motorcycle, and this time there was also a hover off-road vehicle, a set of newly developed high-intensity combat uniforms, a super large flat-floor luxury house located in the core area of Sand Group, an independent office building in the underground city, and more certificates for opening up industries.
The last one is a Pokémon worth less than 10 million dollars. It is not available in the team, so you can buy it somewhere else. Once you have the invoice, you can go to the team to get reimbursed.
In general, Kashiwagi has everything that a cadre can enjoy except the lack of actual power. However, for most cadres, it is obviously the actual power that makes them more crazy.
A cadre is in charge of a team of 100 people, whose territory is nearly half of a city block, and tens of thousands of people depend on him for food. Anyone who sees him has to bow and nod, and no one dares to say much, just let him do whatever he wants.
Even in the entire Huangtie Town, they are undoubtedly the upper class.
The rank of squad leader itself is something that ordinary people could aspire to have, and being a cadre is something that they have only dreamed of, which is like dreaming of being an emperor.
After receiving the relevant benefits of cadres.
