Chapter 461: An Old Acquaintance

“With me?” Lei Luo pointed at himself, his mouth agape.

This time, he was really a little dizzy. “How can that be?”

Morton tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, “Actually, it’s not that similar anymore. It’s just that I’ve seen you for a long time, and I keep feeling that the two of you are really similar in certain areas, so I gradually feel that the two of you look very similar.”

“If what you said is true, I think it’s better not to join the team with such people.” Zacken, who had been silent all this while, spoke up at this time.

“With our current environment, we can’t come to the Holy City of Beauty’ again, and we can’t have another Karman.”

Lei Luo looked at Zacken. He could understand his words. The Karman incident had really dealt a huge blow to him.

As the team’s natural leader, Lei Luo knew that he could not fall into an overly conservative situation just because of a single mistake.

This was a classic case of abandoning food for fear of choking.

However, Lei Luo had to face the situation Zacken was talking about. Talent was important, but the risks had to be controlled.

As Lei Luo pondered, he looked at Morton again.

“Morton, what do you think?”

“To be honest, even if we want him to join us, it’s still unknown if he’s willing to join us. However, if it’s only about money, I have 100% confidence in him. But if it’s about power, I can’t explain it clearly. He’s the same as you. He’s not someone I can see through.”

Morton paused at this point.

“Personally, I hope that the two of you will have a chance to meet. Regardless of whether or not we can work together in the future, I believe that a meeting will be beneficial to both of you.”

Lei Luo nodded and said, “All right, then arrange a time for me to meet him.”

“He’s a lazy person. He’s always wandering around. If you want to meet him here today or there tomorrow, you’ll run to your death. I’ll get him to come find you.”

Hearing Morton’s words, Lei Luo nodded. “All right, then you can make the arrangements.”

The topic ended and they moved on to the last part of the agenda for the day’s meeting.

That was the current financial situation of the Black Angel Army.

Because Morton had just revealed that he still had seventeen million gold coins, this segment was much smoother than expected.

“Morton has 17 million and you have 3 million. In total, it’s about 20 million,” Lei Luo said to Katz.

“I’ll leave 5 million for you to recruit soldiers, repair the fleet, and daily expenses. Go ahead and spend it as much as you can, pushing the fleet to the highest level. How long can you spend 5 million?”

“Actually, the biggest expense right now is the fleet docking fee. We’ve come from afar, and we don’t have a base. We’re not familiar with the place, so we don’t dare to start a war rashly. Now that we’ve rented an independent lord’s port, just the rent alone costs 50,000 gold coins a day. It’s not worth it.”

As soon as Katz finished speaking, Zacken immediately said, “The mother nest of our Grizzly Pirates is still there. You guys can station yourselves on our mother nest.”

“If that’s the case, then five million, if the flowers are blooming, and all the members of the fleet are fully equipped, select the pirates with the best genetic quality, and equip them to the highest level...”

After Katz finished calculating, he made a conclusion.

“About two months.”

“Two months? Then what if we recruit twice the number of people?” Lei Luo asked again.

“Twice as many people? You mean, we’ll recruit twice as many people as the largest member of each ship?” Katz asked.

Lei Luo nodded, “Yes.”

“Do we need new hands or experienced hands?” Katz asked again.

“Of course, experienced hands who don’t need any training to directly participate in the battle,” Lei Luo answered.

“If that’s the case, then the cost will be much higher. In addition to the cost of personnel, in order to improve the team, the fleet must also conduct long-term exercises, which may cost a lot of money.”

“All of these are done to the maximum. How long can five million last?”

“If we really don’t consider the matter of money at all and spend it with all our might, we can only last for a month.”

Fortunately, this was the Satan’s Wings, and this region had been very unstable recently.

The pirates continued to erupt in wars, causing many pirates to lose their teams.

As long as the salary was increased, recruiting hundreds of thousands of old pirates wasn’t a difficult matter.

“It’s basically impossible to do it in other star areas.”

“One month? That’s enough. One month later, we should enter the battle to nourish the battle.”

Lei Luo paused when he said this.

“According to my prediction, Karman will completely carry out my plan, and through occupying the Great Wall of Iron Blood, exchange for the excellent foothold of the Cape of Good Hope. As for the time to complete the plan, based on his current situation, the fastest would be three months. He already had almost four lord rank main forces. After conquering the Great Wall of Iron Blood, he estimated that he would be able to obtain two to three more main forces. Then, he would have roughly six to seven lord rank main forces. These six to seven formations would become his direct main forces. And once he contributes the Great Wall of Iron Blood, then every lord that defected would have to give him at least one more main force formation. This way, when he takes over the Cape of Good Hope, he’ll have around eighteen to nineteen main force formations.”

Hearing Lei Luo’s calculation, everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air.

The strength they had at hand was at most half a main force formation. Wasn’t the disparity in strength a little too great?

Morton did some mental calculations and said, “Without a doubt, if we want to snatch the Cape of Good Hope from Karman’s hands and preserve our achievements, we must at least have the strength of a main force formation. If we want to gather such an army, not counting military expenses, not counting equipment, and not counting the cost of recruiting soldiers, we need at least 300 million. And I only have 15 million left in total.”

Lei Luo smiled faintly and said, “We don’t have money, but someone has money. Why don’t we just borrow some from him?”

“Borrow? 300 million gold coins is an astronomical sum. Not to mention others, even an alliance might not have so much cash. Who can we borrow it from?”

“Have you forgotten?” Lei Luo looked at Morton and asked with a smile.

“You have an old acquaintance. This amount of money shouldn’t be much of a pressure for him.”

“My old acquaintance?”

Morton was stunned for a moment before he suddenly understood. action

“You mean Trump?”
