“…… Gather! With a shrill whistle, a major officer stood on the field and shouted loudly to the soldiers who were training freely. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

After Li Mo and his party entered the base, they saw that on the lawn on the side of the field, there were one or two hundred people practicing their fighting skills in pairs under the supervision of the instructor.

This is difficult to see in many armed forces in Africa. Most non-political axe armed groups, in addition to recruit training, train a soldier in marksmanship. Even marksmanship training is only a few times. Not to mention this kind of very strict martial arts skills training. In the eyes of many non-political axe armed leaders, what they fancy is that there are more people and more guns, and they do not pay much attention to others.

What is cross-country training used for? Now the march is all by truck. Can you run a truck with one foot? What are the uses of fighting skills? Take out the pistol and slam, it's all over. Do you still have to have a left hook, and the black tiger can dig out his heart?

In addition, the level of cultural education on the African side is generally not high. It is very similar to many 'commanders and commanders' who raised a group of people to stand on their own during the Republic of China. As long as he knows how to shoot, as for whether he can shoot accurately, it is not his consideration.

Following the major's order, the soldiers, who were sweating profusely and beating together in camouflage vests, stopped moving. Running towards the center of the camp. He didn't even care about the dust and grass clippings on his body.

In less than three minutes, the two hundred people were neatly lined up in the middle of the field, their heads held high, and their eyes were blazing at the major. Only a few people with active minds secretly observed Li Mo and his party in the center of the crowd.

When they saw Hussein, who was accompanying Li Mo, these people immediately withdrew the corner of their eyes. Afraid? Of course, didn't you see that the colonel commander was in the crowd?

Seeing the performance of these soldiers, Li Mo was very satisfied. The smile on his face became more and more easy-going. Regarding the non-political axe armed forces in Africa, Li Mo's impression has always been completely different from what he saw on TV before, the loose and crumbling appearance of the Kuomintang troops. to have an elite momentum.

"Stone, what do you think of them?" Li Mo knew that he was not from the army, and he couldn't see the difference in details. He asked about the stone with his head sideways. After all, the stone itself came from the reconnaissance unit in the Huaxia Field Army. Li has an understanding of the army.

Shi's gaze looked at the bruises on the faces of several soldiers on the periphery, and he also nodded and said with satisfaction, "Boss, these soldiers are well trained. At least I'm training very seriously and I'm not lazy! ”

Hussein, who originally thought that the stone would praise a few words, couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart when he heard this. Is this a compliment or a reprimand?

Li Mo smiled and said, "I think they are doing very well." Colonel Hussein. You must continue to train with this serious attitude. In addition to practicing combat skills, marksmanship training, and cultural education must be carried out in strict accordance with the highest requirements. There is an old general in China who once said that sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime. They are our soldiers, but also our brothers and friends. You can't just think of them as a desperate subordinate with others; Be harsh on them in peacetime, and in battle, they can also reduce casualties. This is not only responsible for us, but also for themselves. ”

Li Mo spoke it in Somali, and his voice was not loud, but it could be heard by everyone on the field. When these soldiers heard Li Mo's words, they all looked at Li Mo with gratitude.

Luo Xiang, who had been following behind, couldn't help but give a thumbs up secretly. He still remembers that at the base of Zhangjiacun, the boss told their group of orphans in such an emotional tone.

After Hussein heard this, he didn't know what he was feeling in his heart. He knew that Li Mo came this time, in addition to understanding the combat effectiveness of the troops, he also came to buy people's hearts. Unexpectedly, in just a few words, he did it. These words, if placed in front of other people in other countries. Guaranteed not to do the slightest. But where is this? Somalia!

Somalia is similar to the period of the Republic of China. The people here live in poverty, and there are wars, epidemics, and food and clothing problems everywhere. For a long time, the social structure of Somalia has made the Somali people living below the poverty line have a kind of resentment against the injustice of the world. At this time, Li Mo elevated the status of these soldiers so much, which undoubtedly made them regard Li Mo as a 'benefactor'. Where is it not grateful to him for embracing him?

"Colonel Hussein, do these soldiers get paid?" Li Mo knew that his words could only make the soldiers hot-headed and moved for a while, and they would definitely be forgotten with the passage of time. So he intends to give these soldiers some practical benefits.

Hearing this, Hussein, who was uncertain, immediately nodded and replied, "Yes!" ”

"How many months?"

"$50!"

"$50?" Li Mo frowned. He didn't expect the salary to be so low. $50 Even in China, a country with cheap labor, it is rare.

"Boss, you don't know what the situation is in Somalia. GDP per capita here. Only one or two hundred dollars. $50 a month is already a lot of salary! Stone explained with a smile on the side.

Li Mo was stunned, and then remembered that this was Somalia. It is a chaotic and impoverished country.

"Later the salaries of the soldiers were doubled. The salaries of the officers are subject to your specific agreement. Li Mo commanded. Double the salary, only a hundred dollars a month. It's still very low. But Li Mo knows that the benefits must be taken out little by little, so that these people will be more loyal to you. Take out the benefits at once, and these people may forget your favor to them after a while.

Those soldiers, although they did not cheer, still couldn't suppress the excitement on their faces. Seeing this, Li Mo knew that his goal had been achieved. Let Hussein take himself to look elsewhere.

The group went around the barracks again, and then came to the shooting range behind the barracks. Here, too, more than a hundred people are training their marksmanship at the range.

This time, Li Mo didn't let people gather them, so he stood aside with a smile and watched the soldiers shoot targets. Soon, the smile on Li Mo's face became brighter and brighter. The marksmanship of these soldiers, although it is far away from the Meteor Commando. But it's also very good.

Fifty-meter fixed targets can almost reach more than 80 rings. With the ample ammunition support of the Star Organization, the marksmanship of these soldiers cannot be improved if they want to. It takes one magazine per person every day, but it's no joke.

The 3,000 Paramingchu troops alone had to consume nearly 100,000 rounds of ammunition in one day, plus 2,000 men in the Chadian training camp. If it weren't for the fact that the Camel Mountain Base had stopped producing guns and was fully engaged in the production of ammunition, Li Mo's strength would not have been able to support such a large consumption.

"It's all piled up with money!" Luo Xiang on the side couldn't help but sigh. As a member of the Star Organization, it was still a little distressing to see these people consuming ammunition so lavishly.

"As the saying goes, the poor are rich in martial arts, and the personal consumption of martial arts is very large. Not to mention the attrition of an army! A ruling group may only need tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands to spend a while, but what can an army do? Weapons and equipment alone are not enough, not to mention training. Without so much ammunition consumption, these people can have this kind of marksmanship in a short time? Li Mo said indifferently.

"Let's go and take a look at your arsenal and see how your equipment is now." Li Mo looked at it for a while, and then proposed. To say that it is a proposal is similar to an order.

The group came to the arsenal of the base again, and the defense of the arsenal was much stricter, and a squad of soldiers stood guard outside with machine guns. Inside the arsenal, there was also a squad of soldiers patrolling back and forth.

It's said to be an arsenal, but it's just a big house. It's big inside. Brackets made of wood are lined up side by side. Each bracket is further divided into two layers. Li Mo saw that on these stands, only a few of the doors were empty, and the other brackets were full of weapons.

"Boss. This is the gun hangar. Below there are also ammunition depots, special arsenals. Hussein introduced with a smile.

Like their first regiment, it is impossible to have only these guns. There is always some other weaponry.

Li Mo became interested when he heard this, and said, "Oh? Do you have a special arsenal of weapons? I'm going to see what special the law is! ”

A group of people came to the innermost part of the gun hangar, and an officer standing in the back came forward with two soldiers and knocked on the floor. Then the crowd saw that the floor was being lifted up from underneath. Then a soldier poked his head out and looked around warily.

The soldier slowed down when he saw the officer and Hussein. On Hussein's orders, three other floors around it were opened. A swarthy hole was revealed. An iron ladder went up.

When he went down, Luo Xiang passed Li Mo and was the first. He was doing this for Li Mo's safety. Although there is no danger here, you are not afraid of 10,000 just in case. There's nothing wrong with being careful.

When they came below, they realized that it was not as dark as it was seen above. A few lights are on. Shine on the inside.

Li Mo glanced at this place of more than ten square meters, and felt that it should be a place for the guards to rest. Because there are only two beds, a table and a few stools. Four soldiers with guns stood aside, looking at the group of big people.

Here is the arsenal? Li Mohu looked closely and found that there was a door on each side, because the color of the door was similar to the surrounding wall. If you don't look closely, you can barely notice it.

"Boss, behind the door on the left, there's a special arsenal. Say it's a special arsenal, that is, some bazookas and mortars! Hussein said with some embarrassment.

Li Mo nodded and didn't speak, he also knew that the Palamin Cooking Army would not have any good equipment.

"When those tanks are assembled, you'll have some heavy weapons! You can rest assured that you will have more and more advanced weapons in the future. Li Mo looked at it in the special arsenal before smiling and comforting Hussein.

After taking a look around the base, Li Mo had a general understanding of the Paraming Cooking Army. The quality of the soldiers is good, but they lack weapons and equipment. The main replenishment of weapons and equipment is that this army can be taken out and compete with several surrounding forces. After all, an army that has not experienced war, even if it has advanced weapons, will not be able to grow. Only by going through the test of war can we discover more problems and make this army truly strong.
