Chapter 71: Confused Information

Rose frowned and said: "The problem is that we really invested so much that we lost all the gambling money? We don't seem to have paid out that much? Could it be that the bankers in the British and French guilds invested less in gambling?"

"You didn't count private investment, did you?"

"Private investment?" Rose looked at me curiously.

I explained to her with a smile: "The players in our guild know that they will win this time anyway. Those who have some spare money naturally want to join the guild to make a profit, so everyone starts to buy bets. Our guild has There are hundreds of thousands of players, and each of them buys something, which together is not a small amount."

"I said so!"

Ashford said from the side: "You don't count. Your guild alone has invested 3.1 billion crystal coins, and the total investment of your members is also around 3 billion crystal coins. Our Iron Crusaders will win at a loss of The rate is 3.12 to 1. Not only can the more than 6 billion not be included in the total funds, but more than 18 billion crystal coins are needed to complete the gambling compensation. Your former Feng Yin Piaomiao helped me defend the city, but he also More than one billion were invested, and more than three billion were used in compensation. We, the Iron Crusaders, also bought bets totaling six billion crystal coins, and needed more than 18 billion crystal coins to repay them. In total, the British and French The Guild and other guilds that bought other results need to invest nearly 40 billion crystal coins in total to completely complete the gamble. Even if there are many buyers attracted this time, 40 billion crystal coins are not a small amount, one-time 'It is also common for the system to freeze gambling accounts and refuse to accept new bets."

Feng Yin Piaomiao, who had been sitting on the side, said in surprise: "You all bought six billion?"

I shook my head: "Ashford bought 6 billion, our guild only bought 3.1 billion, and the other 3 billion were purchased piecemeal by the members themselves."

"Who said I bought six billion?" Ashford also explained: "Our guild only bought two billion, and the other four billion were also bought by our members. There are still ten of the two billion. 500 million is where I got the loan, who is as terrifying as your guild and can mobilize 3 billion in liquidity at a time?"

Rose smiled bitterly and said: "We Chinese people have a habit of being diligent and thrifty. We usually save more money to be prepared, but you Europeans like to spend tomorrow's money today. Spend in advance. Do you understand this is a cultural difference?"

Ashford joked: "I'm not asking you to borrow money, so why are you explaining so clearly?"

I interrupted Rose who was still trying to defend herself and said: "Now that the British and French guilds have directly participated in the war, the next battle will not be as smooth as before. You must think about this clearly in advance. Everyone here has spent money. If we lose in one fight, let’s all weigh the outcome for ourselves!”

Ashford nodded: "My money was borrowed from a loan shark. If I can't pay it back, I'll be in real trouble."

Feng Yin Piaomiao nodded: "Even if it's not a loan shark, I won't be willing to give away my money for nothing! Anyway, one is fighting two, as long as the Beast Alliance and Foster Alliance are destroyed according to the original plan, everything else will be easy to talk about. "

"Theoretically, this is true, but in practice, we need to reconsider it." I said to them: "The newly joined British and French guilds are not just two guilds. The organizer of this gambling game said that the British and French guilds The guild is actually a temporary alliance composed of five guilds, three of which are British guilds and the other two are French guilds. Since you want to fight them, you must first understand the enemy's situation. I suggest Let's first send people to investigate the situation of these five guilds. We don't even know the names of these five guilds yet. We will definitely suffer losses when fighting a war. We must have a general understanding of the enemy's situation. Only then can we consider the next step.”

"Then I will send someone to investigate. My people should be able to handle this kind of thing." Ashford took the initiative to undertake the task of reconnaissance.

In fact, investigating the strength of the five guilds is not a very troublesome matter, since they have the money to engage in such a large gambling activity. Then these guilds will not be obscure small guilds, and investigation will naturally be much simpler. After all, Ashford's Iron Crusaders are one of the two major guilds in Germany that are tied for first place. Naturally, they are not bad at infiltration and intelligence collection for our two old neighbors, Britain and France. Soon we got back all the information we needed. .

Ashford took the information sent back by the intelligence personnel and said: "The information is out. One of the two French guilds has a name very similar to ours. This guild is called the Crusaders, which is very similar to the name of our Iron Crusaders. Close. Another guild is called the Celestial Alliance. The three guilds in the UK are the Eugen Chamber of Commerce, the Business Alliance and the Imperial Alliance."

"How is their strength?"

"The Alliance of Gods in France is a large-scale fighting guild. It is one of the guilds that has suddenly emerged in recent times. The main means of development are constant wars and mergers. It is said that there seems to be a large amount of financial support that is why it develops so fast. In addition, it seems that it has a lot of financial support. The Crusaders is an old guild and has always been one of the larger guilds in France. Its strength is relatively balanced and there is no outstanding performance. But it has no obvious shortcomings. Generally speaking, these two guilds are fighting guilds. Once Participating in the war has a great impact on us. The Imperial Alliance among the three British guilds is also a new guild. It has just merged with several major British guilds and became the number one guild in the UK. This guild is also a type with strong combat effectiveness, good Xiang also has expertise in large weapons, so it should be a tough nut to crack. As for the Root Chamber of Commerce and the Business Alliance, there is no problem. These are two commercial guilds, and their own fighting strength is not strong. Their characteristics are particularly Money. Relatively speaking, you don’t need to pay too much attention to it.”

I stretched out my hand to stop Ashford from continuing. "The Business Alliance and the Aogen Chamber of Commerce cannot be underestimated. Although they are not fighting guilds, they are the most dangerous. Now the system allows NPC legions to be purchased. The richer the guild, the easier it is for a large number of troops to suddenly appear. Such a guild The guild is the most dangerous, treating them as a harmless guild is the biggest risk."

"So they will also send troops?" Ashford asked cautiously.

"It's hard to say." I thought for a moment and said: "The funding to host the gambling may have already exhausted their funds. It's not certain how much money these two wealthy people can come up with, but there is no guarantee that they will not still have funds to buy NPC legions. , what should we do if a large number of enemy troops suddenly appear? Germany is now in chaos. We only know that Britain and France are participating in the war, but we don’t even know how many troops the other side has. Fighting in such a chaos is not an option. "
