Start in Night City

Prisoners will not be executed arbitrarily without trial.

When Shuguang Military Company launched a heavy attack on the anti-government forces, the situation on the Shining Group's side was developing as Su Xiao expected.

At the beginning, other senior executives of Shining Group also suspected that this might be Shuguang Military Company's plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves.

The purpose is to get the Shining Group to fight the rebels so that Dawn Military Company can benefit from it.

But next, Shuguang Military Company did not take action against them. Instead, it took the initiative to tear down the anti-government armed forces.

It seems to be telling the Shining Group that they are not interested in the Shining Group.

This caused disagreements among the senior management.

Some senior officials believe that they should take advantage of this moment to take the initiative to attack Dawn Military Company and join forces with the anti-government armed forces to drive Dawn Military Company out of Bolivia.

However, there are also some senior officials who believe that Shuguang Military Company's attack on the rebels is just like Zhang Liao's attack on Sun Quan. It is a casual attack with eyes closed.

If they side with the rebels, what's the difference between joining the German army in 1945?

Originally, their Shining Group and Dawn Military Company had "reached cooperation", and they had always been able to receive "goodwill released by Dawn Military Company" from "Gustavo" who was staying in the capital.

Therefore, many high-level officials are unwilling to go to war with a private military company like Shuguang Military Company, which maintains an elite security force.

The problem of taking sides has been solved, but new problems have arisen.

That is, a country cannot live without a king for a day. The boss of the Shining Group was killed by someone sent by someone unknown, and the number two figure was captured by the "anti-government armed forces".

Who will be the boss? this is a problem.

No one wants to be a subordinate for life, especially if you think you have the ability to rise to the top.

An ancient person in Seris said it well - "A man born between heaven and earth, how can he live in depression for a long time under human beings".

Although these senior executives of the Shining Group may not have heard the famous sayings of the ancient Siris, this does not prevent them from thinking this way.

Therefore, compared to foreign enemies and finding out the real culprit who killed the boss, they are more concerned about the legacy left behind after the boss dies.

Who should fill this vacancy?

Except for the dead No. 1 figure and the No. 2 figure who was held in the hands of Shuguang Military Company, but others mistakenly thought he was captured by the anti-government forces, the remaining senior officials are all different in terms of qualifications and strength. Not much.

Even their personalities and tempers are similar.

But think about it.

If he were a gentle, elegant and easy-going gentleman, it would be impossible for him to get an official position within the Shining Group.

Therefore, without any surprise, the situation turned into a fight for the position of the boss of the Shining Group.

It was okay at first.

At the beginning, everyone just sat down and discussed calmly.

However, the map of Yan Kingdom was shorter than ever before, so we quickly got to the point and started talking about business.

Once we got down to business, everyone was no longer sleepy.

Every senior executive made no secret of his coveting for the position of boss, and patted his chest and promised that if he was allowed to become the boss, he would do whatever he wanted.

But this effect is not very good.

This is the Shining Group, not the United States.

It's not like American congressmen, who can win the votes of the people by making mere promises and then turn their backs on them.

Moreover, those who listen to the promise are not the American people who are not well educated, and are even worse at geography and mathematics, but other senior officials who are also determined to win the boss's position.

Without self-motivation, it would be impossible for these senior executives to move up to the management level.

These senior executives were not good at speeches, and the war of words did not last long before everyone realized that everyone here would only support themselves as bosses.

When they realized this very clearly, the situation entered the next stage.

That is, the theme of proving with force and fists.

All the top executives returned to their respective turfs and began to gather people to prepare to kill other competitors.

Their idea is simple.

Since other senior executives do not support him, he only needs to kill other senior executives, and then the position of group boss will naturally belong to him.

Of course, among so many high-level officials, not everyone is reckless.

There are still people who can see the situation clearly.

But it's no use.

When you are in such an environment, the choices you can actually make are very limited.

Either find a way to leave such an environment.

Or just be carried away by the times and the crowd and continue to move forward.

Therefore, even if this small group of clear-headed executives can see that their internal strife is not beneficial to the Shining Group, it is useless.

Because their words don’t hold enough weight, no one will listen to them.

On the contrary, the remaining senior officials will mistakenly think that this is a delaying strategy.

In such a situation, the clear-headed senior management took the initiative to give up their territory with their cronies.

They have earned a lot of money, which is enough for them to retire in Europe and become rich men who do not care about the world. From then on, they will live a life of bankrolling every day.

But not all sober-minded executives have chosen to leave Bolivia.

Some high-level officials, although they are aware of it, are unwilling to give up the power in their hands, let alone become a rich man with only money from now on.

They choose to stay.

Although he does not take the initiative to attack other high-level officials, he still stays on his own territory.

Their money is not clean, and they have embarked on this bloody road. They cannot retreat just because they want to.

Just a week after the falling out, the most impatient ones started to fight.

Since they are in the same organization and are familiar with each other, they specialize in attacking weak points.

Coca cultivation fields were burned down, warehouses where gleaming goods were stored were looted, corpses were strewn on the ground, and blood was shed for thousands of miles.

The two weakest senior executives were wiped out, leaving only the three strongest senior executives.

Although they are the strongest, they themselves are not having a hard time after a week of fighting.

Not to mention the loss of soldiers and generals, their coca cultivation areas and flashes also suffered heavy losses.

What's worse is that the mercenaries under them seem to have colluded and collectively demand higher wages and benefits, otherwise they will stop working.

Of course this is not collusion, it is just human nature.

War is cruel, and fighting kills people.

This is not like Call of Duty. After you die, a famous quote pops up on the screen, and then you immediately turn into a hero and join the battle again in high spirits.

These mercenaries all have families, even single ones have parents, brothers and sisters, and many of them have wives and children to support.

It was fine as before, and I could still get a salary by working and fishing.

But things are different now. These senior executives of the Shining Group are acting like crazy. They don’t care about the friendship of their colleagues at all and will not give up until the other party is killed.

You can imagine how cruel the war was.

This is not the kind of play between the Bolivian government forces and the rebels. The people who serve the top leaders of the Shining Group are real veterans who have been on the battlefield.

The other side is professional, and I am also professional here.

Wouldn't it be a bloody blow to the head during the fight?

Now, although two of the weakest top executives have perished.

However, the remaining five companies, the most powerful senior management, and the mercenaries under their command also suffered certain losses.

More importantly, although these mercenaries carry guns to fight, they are not stupid.

How could we not know that there are still several tough battles to be fought in the future.

It is not known how many people will die by then.

Of course we demand an increase in wages.

But there is no better way.

They can only agree.

After resolving the strike problem of their mercenaries, the top five powerful companies seemed to have reached an agreement.

No more attacks on each other.

Instead, they unified the butcher's knife and slashed at those senior officials who kept their troops in their own territory and did not take the initiative to attack others.

As mentioned before, these senior leaders have their heads clear.

They know that fighting each other will only greatly damage their strength.

It is the outsiders who benefit.

But the problem is that they think so, but they are unwilling to give up the power and territory in their hands and leave Bolivia. In this way, in the eyes of the five powerful senior executives, they become mere wallflowers.

Because these top five companies are willing to take the initiative to fight and fight, they are not weak in strength.

Therefore, if the fight breaks out again, it will definitely be inextricable.

If at this time, other neutral high-level officials try to take advantage of their retreat...

People's thoughts are different.

No matter how determined you are, if people think you have malicious intentions, there is nothing you can do.

Moreover, sometimes, what matters is not what you think, but what others think of you.

The truth is important, but sometimes, it’s not that important.

The senior executives who remained neutral were probably thinking too hard and did not expect...

None of them attacked others, but they still couldn't escape the fate of being beaten.

Although they have not experienced war before, their strength is not as good as those five powerful senior executives.

Therefore, they could not hold on for long and were defeated one after another.

They were either forced to surrender or killed outright.

Another month passed in the blink of an eye.

On the territory of the Shining Group, there are traces of war everywhere, which are shocking and cannot bear to be looked at directly.

Finally, after a month of conquest, all the fence-sitters and neutral factions ceased to exist.

There are only five high-level executives left who are ambitious but also exhausted both physically and mentally.

Their losses are not insignificant.

The mercenaries under his command are only half of what they were at the beginning.

Even if labor contracts have been issued to mercenary companies in Europe and the United States, it will still take some time for them to arrive from Europe and the United States.

Moreover, a large number of workers who were forced to work by the Shining Group also escaped while the guards were being transferred to the war.

Even if there are still some workers left, the number of workers under their control has been greatly reduced.

The lack of labor is still a small problem. After all, when the internal strife is over, you can still arrest or deceive those who need money to come over.

Anyway, there are ways.

But the next question is truly urgent.

The burning of a large number of coca cultivation areas caused the remaining five families to vomit blood.

Although none of them went to college or received higher education.

But he also knows some common sense about strengthening walls and clearing fields, and general warfare.

In the previous month of fighting, any coca cultivation land that was not their territory was directly burned and would never be left to competitors.

And even if it's on your own territory...

But if you can no longer hold on and are forced to give up, you will also set a fire and burn everything.

This led to the sad discovery that the top executives of these five companies were struggling with each other, but they were lonely.
