Chapter 178

The target black market is not the super luxurious black market supported by the He Family Group. For most merchants engaged in illegal transactions, they cannot do the arrangement like He Family Group. Their transaction volume is not that large, and there are not so many resources. More importantly, there are not so many people engaging in gray or black transactions. Having a mercenary force to support it from behind is a height that a very small number of people can reach. Most traders on the ordinary black market are just for the sake of making a living.

Speaking of the purpose of business, for most black market operators, their purpose is to make a living. After many years of war, the biggest problem is not the army, but civilians. No matter in any era, in any world, the biggest victim of war is civilians. When the wounded in the army lose their combat ability, they will receive some pensions and join the ranks of civilians. War causes various resources to keep rising prices, and civilians’ lives are not easy, and these wounded people will not make ends meet. In order to survive, they will try their best to make a living. Going to the rear is the way for some people, and many people’s choice is to stay in a place where they have been for more than ten years and decades. Here are their former comrades, various relationships, and various resources they are familiar with. Compared with a strange environment, it is easier to survive. Over time, the black market gradually takes shape.

Of course, some people will respond to the call of the military headquarters to register a legal business license, but after all, that thing will increase the burden on individuals. Therefore, most black market operators established by retired soldiers and unemployed vagrants will not register a legal business license, but will rent a piece of business in places with large crowds and start operating in order to save every penny that they earned after finally getting.

In terms of social management costs, the existence of the black market is a cancer, which brings great trouble to the dungeons, because basically everything you buy and sell here is shameless. Drugs, weapons, and messy things should be included, which will affect part of the energy of the military headquarters. Although the military headquarters has proposed ways to solve this problem, it has never been implemented. There are about three reasons.

The first is the reason for humans. Since the retired wounded soldiers have such various unbreakable and chaotic relationships with the main body of the military headquarters, every time the military headquarters wants to sort out the black market, it will inexplicably lose the following. Of course, a large part of the reason is the middle and lower-level officers. Some of the operators in the black market are their old subordinates or bosses. If the black market is broken, they will naturally jump up. Therefore, every time the military headquarters discusses this issue, a countercurrent will form from the bottom up. This countercurrent can sometimes be powerful so that some meetings will be cancelled directly due to insufficient number of participants. In this way, those who want to take action against the black market will not find the power to support them and have to give up.

The second reason is the military itself. The origin of the Independent Resistance Organization is not glorious, it was born from mercenaries.

When the war with Mechanical City was just beginning, the main force of resisting Mechanical City was actually the United Nations army composed of governments. However, as the process of war continued to lengthen and the scope of war continued to expand, the conflict of interest between countries was exposed in the joint advance and retreat.

In the war thousands of years ago, countries formed a group of allies, and the Allies fought each other. Although there were disputes of interest, everyone discovered that they could finally win and had the interest to unite to fight, so that they could ignore the disputes between each other. In this way, the stronger willpower gradually won the war in the process of the war. However, the hundred-year war with the Mechanical City, from the electronic warfare at the beginning to the space war later, to the later humans on the ground, mechanical troops in the sky, and then to the ground war between humans and mechanical beasts. This battle made humans retreat step by step, and there was no hope of victory at all. The uneven suffering and joy between countries emerged. In the end, there were many conflicts between each other, and even the interest to unite was exhausted. Therefore, until the late stage of the war, governments of various countries basically stopped sending people, but quarreled every day.

The content of the quarrel is very broad. How much manpower do you put in today, how much money do you have to pay me back tomorrow, your refugee didn't take good care of it, ran to my house, etc., everything was happening. In the end, even coordinating the dispatch of troops became a problem. Gradually, the main force of the battle with the Machinery City gradually changed people, and changed from the army of governments to mercenaries who only had money and were worth living.

Mercenaries became the main force, and behind this was the open and secret support of governments, because governments found that the things these guys who wanted money and life wanted were too cost-effective compared to the regular army with pensions, medical care, family issues and other requirements, such as various aspects, were so cheap that only one word - money! As long as they were given money, they would fight against the mechanical army on the front battlefield. In this way, governments of various countries could continue to invest their energy to quarrel in a full-scale quarrel.

As a result, the mercenaries gradually became stronger. I don’t know who proposed the first “mercenary joint plan”, which caused a whirlwind to blew around the world, and the independent resistance organization emerged.

The military headquarters, also known as the Independent Resistance Organization Military Command, took over the war against the Mechanical City after its establishment. Since its mobilization efficiency is far higher than that of the United Nations, which is still quarreling, governments of various countries are very happy to pay the war on schedule and support the Independent Resistance Organization to fight the war so that they can concentrate on quarrels and make more tricks.

When countries discovered that some countries were already out of sight on the map, they realized that the Independent Resistance Organization had become a behemoth and could no longer be replaced.

What is the relationship between the black market and the military headquarters? The birth and development of the independent resistance organization was caused by the governments of various countries. For this reason, everyone knew it but refused to admit it, and reached a consensus. The black market also aims at money. Behind it are large and small business groups, which is a reason that everyone sees it openly but is unwilling to admit. In private, those arms dealers who appear as black market operators have supported guns, cannons and ammunition to the military headquarters, let alone daily necessities. The countries are busy quarreling and raising prices. In terms of logistics, the black market has provided a lot of help to the independent resistance organization and helped the independent resistance organization overcome many difficulties. The two are integrated and blacked together, so who can tell who is the real black and who is the fake black?

With this black brotherly relationship in it, the military headquarters is not confident even if they want to attack the black market.

The third point is a question that cannot be said, the personal and private life of the soldiers. Since they cannot be said, I won’t talk about it here. There are many things that cannot be shamed on the black market, and these things are just one of them.

Back to the topic, the ultimate goal of Philona's operation is in a two-story building located in the Black Market West Floor of 23 countries. This is the core area of ​​23 countries' authentic Black Market West Floor. There are exits in the four directions of southeast, west and north. Not to mention the complex terrain, there are passages up and down, like an ant kingdom below, with all connections and extremely difficult to control. So Philona was very worried about this action.

While meditating, Philona's car was approaching the authentic black market in 23 countries. Since it was night, the entire black market was empty, and there were not many lights on the floors of shops of all sizes, making it a little deserted. This place is a place of right and wrong, and there are naturally some security problems after nightfall. Except for the police who maintain social security, who occasionally come here, others usually don't show up here at night.
