Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 970 - 905: Preparations

"Sang Jia's mother was a member of the Tiriac family. Old Teryak was once the greatest tennis player in Yugoslavia. After retiring, he established Serbia's first private bank and distributed the bank shares into many parts.

Sang Jia's mother was Old Teryak's eldest daughter, so she received 9% of the shares. After her death, these shares fell into Sang Jia's hands.

I met Old Teryak during the time when I was leading the Arctic Fox to assist Colonel Tadic in fighting against NATO special forces, and we became very good friends.

That one hundred million dollars of pension was actually put together by Colonel Tadic selling off all his family's assets, and his wife borrowing money from her family as the commission given to us.

I then decided to place that one hundred million dollars in Tiriac Bank as an investment trust, firstly as a pension, and secondly to secure the bank shares held by Mrs. Tadic.

We agreed that as long as our one hundred million dollars remained in Tiriac Bank, Mrs. Tadic could keep her bank shares.

While Mrs. Tadic was still alive, Sang Jia was actually always in Romania, and with Old Teryak's sponsorship, she was undergoing tennis training and participated in many competitions.

She was once a promising tennis player, but now..."

Mountain Eagle listened with a face full of surprise to a 'legendary story', then he suddenly realized something, saying with a strange expression, "In fact, yesterday's event was just a test...

If I hadn't met Sang Jia's requirements, then that 9% share..."

"Then you would have to pay to buy it..."

Blood Fox didn't wait for Mountain Eagle to finish, shook his head and said, "Since we've come here, those shares certainly will be yours. The only difference is whether you pay to acquire them or take them for free.

Clearly, you met Sang Jia's requirements..."

Mountain Eagle sighed deeply after hearing this, saying, "Why bother, those 9% shares are worth at least 30 to 50 million euros..."

Blood Fox shook his head and said, "Their family has placed some restrictions on these shares due to debt issues.

And clearly, in Sang Jia's eyes, reviving a mine to provide work for the clan is more worthwhile than exchanging shares for tens of millions of euros."

Mountain Eagle listened and sighed with emotion...

He initially thought he was helping them, but now it seems that he was actually the one benefitting the most.

This is not just a matter of tens of millions of euros, it also saves a lot of time in disputes with the Edward Foundation over bank shares.

Every extra day spent arguing results in a devaluation of the bank, and the time cost involved here is immeasurable.

The Edward Foundation, as a Jewish group, is very business savvy, so even if it is an acquisition, it would be done with the smallest cost.

The Tiriac family members are also very sly; they concealed Sang Jia's 9% share and transferred 38% of the shares to the Edward Foundation, making them the largest shareholder and successfully gaining control of the bank.

But in reality, the 29% shares they kept, combined with Sang Jia's 9%, just match the Edward Foundation.

This means they could return any time to fight for control of the bank once they recovered.

This was a contingency plan, but it's clear now that after learning about the Edward Foundation's background, the Tiriac family gave up on this idea, which is why Anna was able to smoothly acquire those shares from them.

Now, if those combined with Sang Jia's 9% and shares recovered from elsewhere, the Edward Foundation would have no resistance and would have to cut their losses under the Romanian government's pressure.

Only then did Mountain Eagle realize why, when Blood Fox went to Tiriac Bank to confirm the missing pension, he was so calm...

According to his character, the Tiriac family members would have to pay a price for this.

But now it turns out that Blood Fox is also an insider in this matter, knowing better than anyone Tiriac Bank's origin and share distribution.

Even the pension that all the Arctic Fox pride themselves on had a portion covered by Tiriac Bank, which has never withheld a cent despite their long-term losses.

If it were another trust company suffering long-term losses, they would have all sorts of ways to default on this money.

Back in the days, the Arctic Fox earned a hundred million in a single mission in the South Alliance. Their opponent was NATO's special forces, and they had to endure NATO's bombardment, which indicates how fierce the battle was back then.

And fierce battles often breed deep friendships and trust!

So when Mountain Eagle's target was Kosovo, Blood Fox sought out Colonel Tadic, and both parties quickly reached a win-win solution, with Sang Jia facing Mountain Eagle alone as the executor.

And Mountain Eagle came up with the best response, giving both parties a satisfactory result!

It's a matter of character determining fate!

If Mountain Eagle had approached Sang Jia with a businessman's attitude during their first meeting, he would have had to pay a lot to achieve the current result.

But when Mountain Eagle showed sincerity to Arctic Fox's old friends, he got the best results.

Mountain Eagle couldn't quite describe the feeling now. He was actually a bit embarrassed because he had placed himself in a relatively high position internally...

However, when the results came out, Mountain Eagle realized he was the actual beneficiary of Blood Fox's plan. Sang Jia and the others had given more than he imagined, and that disparity inevitably made him feel somewhat awkward!

Looking at Blood Fox's calm face, Mountain Eagle thought for a moment, took out his phone, and doubled the funds and arms he promised Sang Jia yesterday. Then, looking at Blood Fox's relieved face, he said with some resignation: "When do we set out?"

Blood Fox glanced at the time, rubbed his old, hungover face vigorously, and said: "Tonight at 10, someone will sail over to pick us up...

By dawn tomorrow, we'll arrive at the Kosovo Liberation Organization-controlled area.

However, our opponents are a bit tricky this time, so we'll need to make more preparations. I have to go out during the day to find some old friends to procure some strong stuff."

Mountain Eagle waved his hand and said: "Tell me what you think we need, I have channels with the United States Department of Homeland Security."

This so-called 'channel' is definitely nonsense, but Mountain Eagle feels that if it's only targeting a small team, the weapons and equipment needed can be provided by him alone, eliminating the need to create extra troubles outside.

Blood Fox frowned and looked at Mountain Eagle, saying: "We need some heavy weapons. Can the United States Department of Homeland Security supply those?"

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle decisively nodded and said: "No problem, I'll figure it out...

I don't understand the internal situation in Kosovo. Are Spring Knife 600 and Spearhead Missiles suitable?"

Blood Fox shook his head and said: "For assassination, a Spring Knife is sufficient, but we need to capture 'White Whale' alive and bring him out. That's why we need some powerful weapons.

Kosovo Liberation Organization has nearly 2000 armed personnel, controlling large areas along the Kosovo border in fact, and they have armed helicopters as air support. If we're surrounded, we'll need some special methods to draw their attention.

If necessary, we can use some means to leverage NATO Peacekeeping Forces to cover our retreat."

After hearing this, Mountain Eagle nodded and said: "I get it...

Broadsword Directional Mine, petrol gel bombs, AT4 rocket launcher, Stinger Missiles...

Anything else you'd like to add?"

Blood Fox thought for a moment, pursed his lips, and said: "I originally thought the Northern Brigade could supply us with firearms, but what they have is surely insufficient for your needs, so...

You know what weapons we need!

If possible, it'd be best to prepare 12 fine rifles and two PKM machine guns, along with night vision goggles, radios..."

Seeing Mountain Eagle's surprised expression, Blood Fox spread his hands and said: "We need to prepare a team on the outskirts to respond to us at any time. Colonel Tadic promised that the most elite team from the Northern Brigade would enter Kosovo with us to execute the mission.

These equipments are for them!"

Mountain Eagle didn't think Blood Fox's requests were too much. After noting these items, he glanced at the breakfast content in the camp and shook his head saying: "Then I'll go prepare. I'll return at sunset to join you.

The Department of Homeland Security intelligence shows 'White Whale' has arrived in Kosovo and is trading with some people from the Kosovo authorities, after which he'll head to the Kosovo Liberation Organization's base...

The specific action plan will be discussed once we reach the location, but we really don't have much time, so we must set out tonight."

Blood Fox nodded slightly and said: "Rest assured, I've got it figured out. Colonel Tadic has already called to mobilize the Serbs in the Kosovo Region. They'll also keep an eye out for us, and if we get intelligence on 'White Whale,' we'll know immediately."

Saying this, Blood Fox watched Mountain Eagle, who seemed eager to leave, grabbed Mountain Eagle's arm, and seriously said: "Mountain Eagle, you never underestimate your enemies, but I must remind you, you shouldn't underestimate our allies either!

The Northern Brigade may appear downcast, but their elite are still the top forces in Serbia.

Attacking the Kosovo Liberation Organization, they're more determined than we are!"

Mountain Eagle was taken aback...

He indeed hadn't counted the Northern Brigade's people as part of the striking forces, but he wouldn't refute Blood Fox on such matters, so he seriously nodded and said: "I understand, wait for me here, I'll bring some surprises for those elites of the Northern Brigade.

They'll definitely like it!"

After finishing, Mountain Eagle turned and left. He approached Sang Jia and Colonel Tadic, formally introduced himself to the Colonel, borrowed a car, and left the Northern Brigade's camp alone...

Arriving at the spot where vehicles were parked yesterday, Mountain Eagle greeted Luca, who was on guard, then drove a car away from the camp, headed back to New Pazar City. He then followed Crow's guidance, reached the upper area of a large river, and stopped in a deserted spot.

After getting out of the car, Mountain Eagle, contemplating something, headed towards the river...
