CHAPTER 1472: CHAPTER 1,453: ENEMY’S ULTRA-LUXURIOUS LINEUP

The Black Demon, needless to say, is definitely going to be heavily utilized, and although Andre is deceased, the power he held has not suffered any substantial loss, so Gao Yang has quite a lot of resources at his disposal.

However, even with so many people, all of whom are elites, Gao Yang still feels that he doesn’t have enough manpower.

The main issue is that these people Andre left behind have never teamed up with Gao Yang, creating a sense of unfamiliarity, and Gao Yang’s current goal has already surpassed the mere task of severing Djo Malthael’s reach into Ukraine.

Eliminate a batch of people Djo Malthael has sent to Ukraine, and he will immediately send another batch. Just severing Djo’s hand into Ukraine won’t solve the problem; it’s like treating symptoms rather than the root cause.

"At this point, it’s a life-or-death outcome. To completely resolve the issue and win this war, we must take out Djo Malthael!"

Gao Yang slammed his hand on the table with a fierce expression, saying, "As long as Djo Malthael is alive, as long as he still has power, our entanglement in Ukraine cannot resolve the fundamental problems. Now, we must do everything we can to find out Djo Malthael’s whereabouts and eliminate him. If necessary, we can abandon Ukraine."

Unlike Andre’s mentality of not conceding an inch, Gao Yang can discard Ukraine without any psychological burden, concentrating his strength. As long as Djo Malthael is eliminated, it doesn’t matter how it’s done.

Being in different positions naturally leads to different approaches. For Andre, Ukraine is Grand Ivan’s major territory, also his stronghold that cannot be lost.

Whereas for Gao Yang, there’s no place that cannot be sacrificed, as long as the people aren’t lost — if territory is lost but people remain, everything can be regained later.

Eliminating Djo Malthael is the real decapitation. Having set this principle, Gao Yang then said in a deep voice, "If we want to eliminate Djo, there are many ways, but primarily, we must find out where he is. I plan to allocate most of our resources for this purpose. Andre left quite a bit of money, approximately 1.4 billion, so we have more than enough to buy intelligence."

Pavlovich raised his hand, shouting, "Wait a minute, are you sure you want to do this?"

Gao Yang nodded, "Yes, I’m sure this is what we need to do. I believe this is the only way to end the war completely."

Pavlovich shook his head, "Don’t misunderstand me. I don’t represent anyone’s interest, so I won’t question you abandoning Ukraine. I want to tell you, if you wish to undertake a decapitation strike against the enemy leader, we are more than willing to take on this task."

Gao Yang smiled, "Great, this task definitely requires your assistance."

The broad strategy is also set, and some specific measures have been discussed for quite a while. Gao Yang glanced at his watch, speaking in a deep voice, "Let’s stop here for today. Leonard, Shadow, can you find a way to re-examine the location where Andre was assassinated and see if there’s any useful clue?"

Yake nodded, "No problem."

Number Thirteen contemplated for a moment, then nodded, "We can take a look; it shouldn’t be an issue."

Gao Yang nodded and loudly said, "Good, let’s stop here for today and get moving. Let’s first set up the security for our base here. Mr. Pavlovich, please have some people coordinate with us to establish the sentry posts. I think it’s best if we handle these matters ourselves."

Pavlovich nodded, "Exactly, these things are best done ourselves. Get us more mines, especially directional mines; I don’t want to have my head blown off from long-range."

Gao Yang spoke in a deep voice, "I will get you mines very soon. Alright, retrieve and destroy the briefings, and let’s get moving."

The meeting ended, and Black Demon’s people left to personally set up the defense system, while many matters awaited Gao Yang’s attention. He didn’t leave the conference room but gestured for Satan’s people to stay behind.

Once Black Demon’s people had left, Gao Yang spoke in a low voice, "Guys, we all understand the trouble we’re facing. As long as Djo is alive, we won’t have peace. However, using Andre’s leftover forces for this task doesn’t seem feasible to me. I still suspect that there was an insider aiding Andre’s demise, so until we can ensure we have the traitor pinned down, it’s best to be cautious with Andre’s forces."

Glolov whispered, "What do you plan to do?"

Gao Yang contemplated a moment and said with a grim face, "Use Andre’s men sparingly, if at all, relying instead on forces we can trust. Therefore, we need allies."

Eileen frowned, "Forces we trust? Are you thinking of bringing in our people from Somalia?"

Gao Yang shook his head and spoke softly, "No, they are trustworthy but too scattered to be strong enough for dealing with Djo. Hence, I intend to enlist the Angels!"

Eileen widened her eyes and said, "Angel? Asking Angel for help?"

Gao Yang snapped his fingers and smiled, "That’s right, Angel. We have enough money to hire them. Even if Angel is currently busy achieving their goals, we can throw enough money at them to slightly slow down their progress."

The Angel Mercenary Corps, they are the strongest allies Gao Yang can think of and the only ones he could possibly hire with money. Mercenary groups, as long as you have money, they are quite convenient.

Glolov clapped his hands and loudly said, "What are you waiting for? Make the call."

Gao Yang took out the phone and dialed Nate.

He couldn’t get through to Nate, but that was normal. Gao Yang then called the Intelligence Officer of Angel, and this call went through immediately. Shortly afterward, Nate called back.

"What do you want from me?"

Hearing Nate’s long-lost voice, Gao Yang immediately smiled, "Hey, Nate, long time no see. Here’s the thing, I want to hire you guys. How about it? Do you have time?"

Nate, a bit surprised, said, "Hire us? Sorry, no time."

Gao Yang laughed, "I know you’re busy right now, achieving your dream, right? But don’t rush, listen to me. I can pay you a lot of money. Achieving dreams requires money, buddy. You wouldn’t want to miss this chance to make a big buck. Let me tell you about the job, and you just name your price. What do you say?"

Nate sighed and said, "Sorry buddy, still no time because I’m on a mission right now. Yes, I’m already hired. You’re too late."

Gao Yang was stunned and said, "You guys are hired? No way, I thought you were still over in Eastern Ukraine. Uh, can you tell me what mission you’re on?"

Nate, irritated, said, "Buddy, is this your first day in this line of work? Can I really tell you that kind of thing?"

Gao Yang scratched his head and said helplessly, "I know you can’t say, but I suspect you’ve been hired by my rival, right? Buddy, is it Djo Malthael who hired you? Tell me, I really don’t want to find myself running into you guys."

After a brief silence, Nate said in a low voice, "I’m a mercenary, a principled and professional mercenary. I would never disclose any information about my employer to you, especially not who they are. Okay, this call is over. During my mission, I won’t be taking your calls anymore."

Nate hung up the phone, leaving Gao Yang holding it with a look of astonishment, saying, "F**k! Could Angel really have been hired by Djo Malthael?"

Glolov frowned and said helplessly, "The likelihood is just too high. Now that Djo and Grand Ivan have started fighting, it’s a war between arms dealers. Besides using their own people, they can definitely hire all the top mercenary groups. They have plenty of money. As soon as something like this happens, it’s a feast for top mercenary groups. We know what’s happening on Grand Ivan’s side, but Djo’s side, who knows how many people he’s hired."

Gao Yang rubbed his chin and said helplessly, "Yeah, Andre here can’t afford it because he has to rely on war loans to pay the mercenaries’ fees. Otherwise, Andre would have hired mercenary groups long ago."

Li Jinfang said in a deep voice, "What about Iron Madonna? Could Iron Madonna have been hired by Djo too?"

Gao Yang replied helplessly, "It’s hard to say with Iron Madonna. Since a full-scale war has started, Djo Malthael is bound to bring all the power he can. However, Iron Madonna is still tangled up with Saudi Arabia, so it’s unclear if they’ve reengaged in battle yet."

Sighing, Gao Yang said, looking frustrated, "Krulney is missing, and Little Donnie is still looking for him. Little Donnie also suggested taking him out to silence him, things are quite messy over at Saudi Arabia, very turbulent. Perhaps Iron Madonna is too busy, let’s investigate more carefully."

The situation has become more complex. If Angel has indeed been hired by Djo Malthael, it puts quite a bit of psychological pressure on Gao Yang. Because while he hasn’t seen firsthand how formidable the team that took out Andre was, he knows perfectly well how formidable Angel is.

Gao Yang picked up the phone, sighed, and said helplessly, "There’s no other way, spend money to ask Justin. This time, no matter how much he charges, we’ll have to pay it. Otherwise, we won’t even know how luxurious Djo Malthael’s lineup is."

After speaking, Gao Yang waved his hand and said loudly, "Go do what you need to do. Oh, Shadow stays. You’ll help me with something later."

Cui Bo, worried, said at this moment, "Brother Yang, what if Angel has really been hired by Djo Malthael? We’d definitely run into them, right? If we run into Angel, do we fight?"

Gao Yang frowned and said, "Fight. With the way Angel’s people operate, if they’re hired, they won’t care about any friendships. So if we run into them, we’ll have to fight, but let’s see the situation. We and Angel have old ties, if we can avoid fighting, that would naturally be best."
