At six o'clock in the afternoon, when Dokujima Yazi arrived at the meeting point, Ethan and Ivan Vanko were already waiting there.
"What's the situation? How powerful is the Axe Gang?" Dudao Yazi first glanced at the two of them, and then asked after making sure that they did not seem to be hurt.
"It's very powerful." Ethan took out the information he got from the police station.
"This is the embellished information from the police station. Judging from this information, the Axe Gang is the largest evil force here, and it can be said that it is gaining momentum."
Ivan Vanko: "Yes, several Soviet people I met said similar things. Even though they were drunk, their words were still full of fear."
"According to them, the Axe Gang is not only a gang, but also a small warlord. They have a well-organized army. Although the army is small in number and its weapons are not sophisticated, it is already one of the most powerful forces in this area."
Obviously, the Axe Gang in this world is no longer limited to the underworld. Under the linkage of interests, their strength has been constantly improving.
"Are there any specific numbers? For example, how many members are there in the Axe Gang? Who are on their side?"
Busujima Yazi continued to ask, her strength was not bad, but it was not to the point where she could fight against an army, even if this army was not strong and was just a ragtag army.
"According to the data, the Axe Gang has more than 2,000 members, but there is no specific description of the army in the data. It only briefly mentions that the other party has an armed force. However, from my personal judgment, this armed force should be the army formed by the Axe Gang."
"Also, after being in the city for so long, I've discovered that the Axe Gang has infiltrated every aspect of the city. It's no exaggeration to say that a word from the Axe Gang is much more useful than the police station here."
Ethan said seriously that after he left the police station, he could see traces of the Axe Gang's activities whether he went to a restaurant or a tailor shop.
"I know a little bit about the military."
Ivan Vanko recalled the drunken words of the Soviets and said slowly, "The Axe Gang is actually backed by the local government. All the equipment that has been eliminated or even not eliminated by the government army has flowed into their hands.
The government supports them in order to let them fight each other and prevent outside forces from infiltrating. However, the Axe Gang, which is now really powerful, is no longer willing to be just a watchdog and has recently had many open conflicts with government order maintenance personnel.
Moreover, the Axe Gang seems to have contacted the Soviets in private. The Soviets who drank with me today have already obtained a piece of territory from the Axe Gang, but it is not clear what agreement they reached. In this regard, those people are still very tight-lipped. "
As Busujima Yazi listened, his brows furrowed. Just from what the two said, he could tell that the various forces in this city were now entangled with each other.
The Axe Gang has grown by being fence-sitters in the complex power struggle. Most importantly, these fence-sitters no longer want to be just chess pieces on the chessboard, they want to be chess players.
"There is another force that we need to pay attention to." Ivan Vanko said, following Ethan.
"That's the Crocodile Gang. Due to the current complex situation, no force can send troops to directly attack the other side. That would cause a backlash from everyone. So for now, the only way is to use gangs to fight gangs. This is a balanced choice."
"The Crocodile Gang is a gang supported by other forces. With the support of others, they started from the weak position of the Axe Gang and took over a large area a long time ago."
"The advantage of the Crocodile Gang lies in the weapons support provided by the forces behind it, while its disadvantage lies in the number of people. The rise of this gang is actually welcomed by everyone, including the local government forces, who also want to use the Crocodile Gang to beat the Axe Gang."
Dudao Yazi nodded. "That is to say, after excluding those forces that will not intervene directly for the time being, the only forces in the city are the Axe Gang and the Crocodile Gang. These two are absolutely hostile, right?"
"Yes." Ivan Vanko gave an affirmative answer. "I also heard that after 11 o'clock at night, the danger in the entire city will reach a peak. The Axe Gang and the Crocodile Gang have fought countless times at this time. However, both sides also tacitly control the conflict on the streets. This seems to be an unspoken rule."
"I understand. Is there any other valuable information?" asked Busujima Yazi after remembering the time of eleven o'clock.
"Yes, I actually had some understanding of Chinese medicine before I came to this world." Ethan began to talk about his discoveries.
"I went to several pharmacies and found that many people came to buy some medicinal materials mainly used to make medicine for injuries. After I used my identity to inquire, I found that the price of this kind of medicinal materials has more than doubled. Although I can't be sure, my intuition tells me that at least one force is preparing for a large-scale conflict!"
"Are you saying that the Axe Gang or the Crocodile Gang will officially declare war on each other soon?" asked Dokujima Yazi.
Ethan: "Yes, it's very likely. Miss An Ya, what should we do next?"
"Wait first, and then find an opportunity to fight the Crocodile Gang. Our strength is still too far behind that of the Axe Gang. If you want to complete your main mission, it is impossible without borrowing strength. Currently, the most likely place to borrow strength is the Crocodile Gang."
"Today, you guys come with me to Pig Cage City first. There doesn't seem to be any gang members there, maybe because it's too poor. But it's quite suitable for us to stay now." Dujima said as he called Ethan and the others to move forward.
The combat effectiveness of Ethan and Ivan Vanko can be ignored in this mission, but as the main mission for newcomers, Dokujima Yako believes that they can definitely play a role. Otherwise, if she is unwilling to provide help, these two people will be completely blind, which is not reasonable.
In addition, some clues can be seen from the identities assigned to them by the main god space.
One is a Soviet and the other is an American. These identities are definitely not just a protective umbrella for Ivan Vanko and Ethan, they must have other functions.
"By the way, you two, tell me what your occupations were in your original world later." Busujima Yaji said suddenly.
She wanted to see if she could discover something from the profession.
"Okay." ×2
