Zhang Nan has power, not only because he has money, finance, media, mining empire, and private army, but also because he has enough allies.

What is an ally?

The president of the Gambia is one, with Zhang Nan as an ally, he returned to the presidency, and now enough investment has been made to regularize the country's economic development, and he no longer has to worry about not being able to pay the salaries of military and government workers, so many years, his presidential throne has never been so secure as it is now.

As for the fact that there is a "joint force" base in the Gambia, it is not a matter of fact, a company just bought a piece of land, not surprisingly, and it also stimulates the economic development of the vicinity - this will make a lot of countries with military bases of other countries on the territory of the country, not ashamed!

The Natswa tribe of Botswana is Zhang Nan's staunch ally, and they are all tied together, their own people!

In the United States, there are allies in Washington, there are allies in the military, there are also a bunch of allies in veteran politicians, rising political stars...

At first, those people took what they needed, but now, the vast majority of America's allies have been firmly tied to the big ship of "Star Sunshine".

Whether you want to or not, it's impossible to even get off the ship, let alone think about changing ships after getting off the ship.

There is no coercion, but it is the inevitable result of the natural development of things: once power is linked to money, and money has power, the person who holds the power should not want to be left alone!

As for this official, you don't have anything to do with money, it's hard to get rid of your feet when you're wet!

Besides, those people probably don't want to dry off and soak their feet so comfortably.

This is also part of the source of strength.

As for others, in places such as Ukraine, Russia and Belarus, the new partners of the "United Forces" also quickly became one of the sources of Zhang Nan's strength.

Now that those who dare to resell arms on a large scale have no energy, not to mention anything else, the disarmament caused by the division of the Soviet Union has begun, the future of millions of officers and soldiers is bleak, hundreds of thousands of well-trained soldiers have lost their jobs, and that severance pay is not enough to buy a bottle of vodka.

The unemployment rate has skyrocketed, jobs are hard to find, savings have depreciated to the point of no value, and many dismissed professional soldiers are about to be driven to a dead end - why was the law and order a mess in the years when Mao Zigang broke up, and gangs sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and even the police couldn't manage it, or even dared not manage it?

Police, that's police, many of the backbone members of Russian gangsters were in the army before!

With no food to eat and no job, you can't watch your family starve to death, right?

These people are gangsters, it's strange if they don't look like they are - people are robbing houses at most, and these people are playing war with you!

This trip to start a war with UNITA, through those generals, the "combined forces" directly in Ukraine and Russia raised the banner of "recruiting troops to eat food", and the first batch of thousands of Soviet veterans are already on their way to Botswana, most of whom participated in the brutal war in Afghanistan.

There are ordinary infantry, armored troops, special forces, pilots, all kinds of professional and technical personnel, artillery, and even ballistic missile units!

Whoever it is, all of them, this is going to Africa to work hard in dollars. Because it is a temporary call-up, it can be counted as a probationary period, and this salary standard does not use the usual standard of "joint forces" for the time being, which is cheap.

After the end of this war, those Soviet veterans who are able and willing to stay will be able to receive an average salary and equal pay for equal work, which is the most cohesive part of the "combined forces".

This is thanks to their big boss Zhang Nan, who made him hate the fucked rules of regular workers, business establishments, contract workers, and temporary workers, if he does this in a military contractor company, not to mention combat effectiveness, it would be good not to shoot people in the back!

Equal pay for equal work, one price for human life!

A group of Soviet veterans who have fought viciously with the guerrillas for many years, even a large number of officers at the colonel level, will be able to form a preliminary combat strength in a week at most, and dealing with UNITA is simply a knife to kill chickens!

......

UNITA's actions have attracted widespread attention in the international community, and the voices of condemnation have come and gone, and they are lively!

There are still some differences of opinion within the SPLM on the sudden situation in the north-east: it is not that they feel that foreign mercenaries are embarrassed to come to Angola to fight, but that many people feel that they should take advantage of this wave and start another war with UNITA!

Other countries may feel embarrassed when faced with such a situation, but Angola will definitely not!

In the past ten years on the land of Angola, the armies, volunteers, mercenaries, and famous and unknown guerrillas of various countries have been singing a big opera, and there are still military personnel in the country who are not Angolan at all.

Military contractors who don't care about any more "joint forces" have long been accustomed to and numb.

But the peace agreement has been signed, and SPLM does not want to be on the side of the treacherous initiative.

This is still being discussed, and a few personal friends introduced by the President of the Gambia came to visit the President of Angola.

It's always a good idea to talk about it and meet some new people.

As a result, "UNITA provoked another clash with the Angolan government army", and then various military clashes broke out in just a few days!

In a war, it is enough to have an interface, and the truth is in the hands of the one who wins.

In the northeast, there were 4,000 elite mercenaries who confronted UNITA's main force, and in two days they took Karok and nearby towns, cutting off the connection between the armies on the north and south sides of UNITA, and killing nearly 1,000 UNITA troops by the way.

UNITA was vulnerable, and the SPLM, in the face of armed provocations by the other side, also recaptured more than a dozen towns in the central region.

When the rainy season came, UNITA wanted to attack the mercenaries in the northeast with guerrilla warfare, but they were beaten up and were completely unruly - in the rainy season guerrilla warfare, the mercenaries were not only equipped with the advantage of generation difference, but also unreasonable to fight, and a group of black mercenaries were more adaptable to the woods and grasslands than the UNITA soldiers.

It's mostly plain, and once a large number of helicopters have been transported to Sorimu, Lukapa and Karok, the UNITA forces in the north-east will have a hard time.

As for those in the central region, the same is true, the Anren Movement is attacking like a chicken, and its combat effectiveness seems to be off the charts!

There is no need to worry about Western public opinion, and if we can slightly improve the bad relations with the world's only superpower, the SPLM will have to work hard.

Besides, a chair is comfortable for one person to sit on, and no one likes to share it with others.

The commitment to investment, the negotiation plan for the exploitation of mines and oil fields, which is beneficial to both "Sunshine of the Stars" and Angola, has become the unanimous goal of both sides to join forces to take out the army controlled by UNITA.

Angola is rich in natural resources, and mineral and economic experts, as well as military experts, have calculated: Fight! According to the secret agreement, the military expenses spent in this war can be fully earned back in Angola in a year or two at most, and this business is worth it!

At the same time, Savimbi felt that he was in danger.
