"Mr. Rick, what do you mean you won't be staying long?" Chief of Staff Philo frowned.

"Literally, we can only rest there for a while, and then we have to leave immediately. I've already set my next target. Lin Rui nodded.

Chief of Staff Philo and the other black officers were stunned, "You mean, we're going to continue to fight the government forces?"

"Yes. Lin Rui nodded and said, "If you want to survive, you can't stop fighting, you must guerrilla everywhere." Make full use of mobility and pick the weakest position of the government army's control force. ”

"But why is that?" said the Chief of Staff with a frown. "If we don't establish a fixed base and occupy the nearby towns for a long time, then we will not become a rogue and fight, the soldiers are exhausted, and there is no fixed place to stay, this is not a long-term solution at all. ”

"Then according to Chief of Staff Philo's opinion, what should be done?" Lin Rui looked at him and said.

"Quite simply, go east into Safavid-controlled territory. Enlist their help, and then wait for an opportunity to capture the two important towns in this area and form an actual zone of control. This serves as a base for our long-term development. Philo pointed to the map, "And then we have a variety of options. You can either ask for help from General Logan in the north, or absorb the clan forces in the surrounding areas. The ultimate goal is to take control of most of the eastern flank of the Orumi Federation. There is also Highway 9 and the railways along the line, which are large enough to affect traffic. ”

Chief of Staff Philo was one of the few high-ranking officers under Le Anson with military education and had served in the Anmore military, so he spoke eloquently about the map. Basically, it's still justified.

Lin Rui was silent for a while and nodded, "This is a very idealistic plan, but things usually don't go so smoothly. Let's not talk about whether the Safavid tribe is willing to come to our aid under the intense pressure of the Orumi Federation. There is an erection. So, what are your chances of taking advantage of the situation to capture the surrounding towns? Don't forget that the Orumi Federation's military strength is far superior to ours. Of course, maybe we can go away with a surprise attack and get away with taking a town. But do you think the government forces of the Orumi Federation will watch and ignore it, and what will we do if they fight back?"

"If this happens, there are only two options. Either hold on to the ground, or flee from the wind. Holding on is a dead end, and it won't even take a few days for our more than 3,000 people to be completely defeated. Then there is only retreat. So we spent a lot of energy, spent countless ammunition and soldiers' lives to capture the town, which was equivalent to returning it to the enemy. If so, what's the point of our actions?" Shogishi continued.

Chief of Staff Philo was silent, knowing that Shogishi was telling the truth. At present, they are completely inferior to the strength of the Orumi Federation Army. Under the suppression of the opponent's absolute strength, they had no chance at all. It is also impossible for the other party to give them a chance to develop and grow.

Lin Rui glanced at the black officers and said in a low voice, "The actuary is right. The other side can't give us a chance. So what we have to do is to look for opportunities in the constant guerrilla fight, to expand your influence in the Orumi Federation, and gradually to gain more popular support. ”

"But in this way, we are a baseless army. We can be completely destroyed at any moment by the loss of a battle. There is no fixed base, there is no perfect supply. The difficulties we have to face are even beyond what we can bear. I don't think we're going to win. The main thing is supplies, and if we go deeper, what will happen to our supplies?" said Chief of Staff Philo.

"There is a saying that is called fighting to feed war. Lin Rui looked at them and said, "By attacking the government army to replenish ammunition and equipment, and by attacking villages and towns controlled by the government army, to attract and replenish troops." Since the establishment of the Orumi Federation, there have been many people in various places who are dissatisfied with the federal government. They are not without the idea of resisting, but they do not have the courage and strength to resist. They need someone to lead by example.

Your last assault on a federal labor camp has made the SPLM one of the most iconic rebel heroes. Stand up at this time and everyone will cheer you on. That's your calling. The establishment of fixed bases was abandoned in favor of dispersed guerrilla operations. Not only will it make it impossible for the Order to grasp your actions, but it will also expand its influence.

Once similar guerrillas arose everywhere, the Orumi Federation would find that there were rebels under the banner of the Liberation Organization everywhere, and everywhere there were calls for the free liberation of Ammore. That's when you can really build your power. And now, it's too early to say anything. ”

Those black officers all looked at Lin Rui, and compared to the last time, their trust in Lin Rui and the advisory group had obviously improved a lot. After all, if it weren't for Lin Rui and Jiang An's plan, they might still be besieged in the desert now. Although Lin Rui's idea was a bit too shocking, it seemed like a desperate gamble, but there was really no good way for them to do anything else.

The Chief of Staff nodded, "Well, I'll admit that, so I'd like to hear from your advisory group." ”

"Continue eastward, and then rest in Safavid-controlled areas. Lin Rui pointed to the map, "Then we enter this area." ”

"This!" This time not only Chief of Staff Philo, but even Commander-in-Chief Le Ansen was a little surprised.

"Parno, this is the second largest city in Orumi after the capital. The Chief of Staff whispered, "Where are we going? The city of Parno is the economic center of Orumi and is surrounded by at least two divisions. We're sending us to death. ”

"Chief of Staff, you have forgotten that the essence of guerrilla warfare is small-scale infiltration and high-mobility warfare. And only in this way can we go deep behind enemy lines and carry out operations. The Orumi Federation forces have always called you rogues, saying that you are a rabble who cannot get on the table. But they forget that if this is the case, they should be the ones who have the headache.

There is no fixed method of warfare for guerrillas, and it is best to form an army if they are gathered, and they are invisible if they are scattered. The action was unforeshadowed, and the attack was sudden and swift, and when it was completed, there was no trace. This time, you're treating yourself as a complete outlaw. Let them see how the rogues fight. Lin Rui smiled slightly.
