In fact, all of this is a scene co-starred by Zhou You and Kabila. Zhou You did not agree to the last invitation, on the one hand, to lower Nkunda's vigilance, and on the other hand, because his soldiers had not yet begun to become familiar with the new weapons.

Although there were many retired Singaporean soldiers among the soldiers who traveled around, the number was only a few dozen. What's more, these people are not all artillerymen, and rapid reaction forces.

Zhou You purchased sixty-five tanks, thirty howitzers, five towed anti-tank guns, and a hundred all-terrain combat vehicles, of which tanks and howitzers, anti-tank guns, were directly transported to the Bukavu base, and half of the other hundred all-terrain combat vehicles were at the disposal of the Bukavu base.

What is this concept? This base has a total of 2,000 people, but there are 150 heavy weapons, and even according to the minimum staffing, these tanks and howitzers need 600 people to operate. Together with the logistics service personnel, these artillery alone need the scale of a thousand people.

The Mustang ATV is Singapore's newest vehicle, and the British purchased 200 of them in Singapore when they entered Afghanistan. This all-terrain tank is equipped with a 40-mm cannon, heavy machine guns, and can carry twelve to eighteen people per vehicle.

This also means that the training camp around the world, with 2,000 soldiers, almost no infantry, is all mobile heavy weapons soldiers. Therefore, although their number is not large, this force is not at all comparable to the African soldiers who only have AK47 and lack bullets.

Although these soldiers are veterans, they also need a period of acclimatization.

Zhou You didn't agree to Kabila to send troops at first, on the one hand, he deliberately acted for Nkunda, and the main thing was to give the soldiers time to adapt. Now, a month has passed, and it is time for these soldiers to conduct real combat training.

On 5 June, the traveling plane arrived at the Bukavu training base, accompanied by an observer group sent by Singapore and military observers from the mainland.

Shortly after his plane landed, Kabila also arrived at the base by plane from the capital, bringing with him a television crew and an AU military observer group of more than 100 people. More than 50 AU countries, almost all of which have sent senior military experts.

At nine o'clock in the morning of June 6, Kabila again sent a request to Zhou You to send troops, and this time Zhou You solemnly agreed in front of reporters.

And these images were broadcast live on television, and the 2,000-strong army of the Bukavu base drove out of the training camp in full armor.

Of course, the traveling army did not fight alone, because his soldiers were all armored and artillery. The 5,000 Congolese soldiers mobilized from South Kivu Province will cooperate with these artillery and armored troops to encircle and suppress Nkunda's forces.

Anyway, it's okay to let Zhou You send troops, but Zhou You will never send infantry to participate in the battle, and his soldiers are all very valuable, but they are not comparable to the worthless Congolese soldiers.

The 7,000-strong army marched north along the N2 road, targeting Goma, the capital of North Kivu province, which is also under the de facto control of Nkunda's forces.

The observers were divided into two groups, one group followed the army north, and the other group was in the control hall of the base, directly monitoring the changes in the entire battlefield through satellites.

The satellite channel is still leased, nominally through a satellite commercial company in Hong Kong, but in reality, the satellite is the signal output from a satellite on the mainland. It is also for this reason that the military in the interior did not send a large-scale observation mission, but only a small detachment to observe with the army.

Zhou You didn't care before his actions were exposed to the military side in the mainland, in fact, he was also using this method to take the initiative to move closer to the military in the mainland. After all, he is also a Chinese and has never had the idea of confronting the mainland government. Moreover, in order not to become a target for other countries, he must also get closer to a stronger force.

Of course, this kind of closeness does not belong to standing in line, in fact, if you want to stand in line, Zhou You still belongs to the same team as the Singapore army. Except because he is now a Singaporean, but also because Singapore's military strength is not particularly strong, he does not have to worry about being annexed.

Because of the war, the Singapore army did not send troops to come for the time being, and they were much more difficult than traveling. Zhou You is your own personal power, as long as you don't touch the fundamental interests of those big countries, you can still take advantage of some loopholes between countries.

However, Singapore, as a sovereign country, is not strong in national strength, and is an export-oriented economy, so it needs to look at the face of a big country to survive.

The commander-in-chief of the campaign was Bernard, the general manager of the security company, who had served in the Spanish army for a long time and was also the deputy commander-in-chief of the Basque Armed Front, and was also a veteran expert not only in army management, but also in guerrilla warfare.

Compared with him, although Billy Yang is more trustworthy and has stronger special operations capabilities, his ability is still somewhat deficient in this kind of big scene.

It is worth mentioning that there are more than 300 Basque soldiers in this armored unit traveling around. They are steadfast in their beliefs, brave in battle, and have a wealth of knowledge and experience. They are also one of the core forces of this army, and they form the skeleton of this army with Yang Billy's direct special operations company.

As for the retired soldiers from other countries, in the course of performing their missions in the past few years, a large number of trustworthy soldiers have also been selected by taking advantage of high salaries and mission assimilation.

Task assimilation is a very elaborate strategy, starting with the use of people's herd mentality, gradually gathering the hearts of soldiers, and then using murder, or performing some tasks that they will not regret, so that the soldier's loyalty is transformed from their country, to the company, and even to the traveling individual.

The families of these people have also been supported by the company, and the work is arranged in some better positions, as well as the honorary status and benefits that are different from others.

Under such a management system, although it cannot be said that the loyalty of all people can be trusted, they will not make any discount when it comes to carrying out their tasks.

Bernard stood in front of the command podium and conveyed the instructions directly through the individual command system to the ears of the team leader of every artillery truck, every tank, and every armored combat vehicle through satellite images.

This system alone cost $40 million to travel, plus each soldier's body armor, firearms, and individual equipment, and more than $80 million was spent on traveling around this 2,000-strong force.

Although it is said that the U.S. military is built up with money, each of their soldiers has less than $20,000 in personal equipment, while the traveling army has reached more than $40,000, which is the real money.

Coupled with all the mechanized equipment of the tour, the total cost of the tour alone reached 400 million US dollars, and the average cost of each person exceeded 200,000 US dollars.

Therefore, the military leaders of various countries who came to observe were simply dumbfounded when they saw the equipment of these people traveling around, which was a bit too frustrating!

Most of their soldiers are issued with a gun and trained for a period of time, and they are called soldiers. The average investment in each person, not counting wages and living allowances, is no more than $2,000, which is too large.

More importantly, all the people in this unit have at least three years of military service, more than two years of mission, and maintain high-intensity training and management in peacetime, and they are all real veterans.

They were selected from a team of more than 20,000 security guards, each of whom was one out of ten, and their personal ability and tactical literacy were not comparable to the average soldier of any country.

Taking the United States as an example, since 2001, its annual military expenditure has reached $600 billion, but of this 600 billion yuan, 40 percent is salary, 26 percent is training expenses, about 14 percent is base construction, and equipment procurement costs are only 20 percent.

Of these 20 percent, the Air Force and Navy have spent more than 70 percent on procurement, the missile forces have spent more than 20 percent, and the Army has only about 5 percent, or only $6 billion.

The $6 billion is the cost of equipment for the U.S. Army of 500,000 dollars, which is about $10,000 per soldier on average. If soldiers are equipped like Zhou You, even the United States will not be able to stand it at all.

Anyway, no matter what the actual combat effectiveness of the traveling army is, anyway, their equipment has blinded everyone's eyes, and there is no country in this world that can have such luxury as the equipment of the traveling army.

Commanding Alongside Bernard was Kabila's important subordinate, Deputy Army Commander Sukru. The Congolese Air Force has only two backward patrol aircraft, the Air Force has only 100 people, and the Navy has only a few backward patrol boats, with a total number of less than 800 people. Their army of 170,000 men is almost all of their strength. Therefore, their army commander-in-chief is equivalent to the second-in-command of the army.

In order to take care of the 5,000 troops in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Zhou You prepared an additional 100 Dongfeng military vehicles in the inner estate, and each vehicle was crowded with 50 people to form a motorized corps.

However, these vehicles can only carry transportation tasks, and their role on the battlefield is needless to mention.

In the afternoon, the army marched to Kada, only 20 kilometres from Goma, which is the border between the two provinces of North and South Kivu, and is considered an important town in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo because of its proximity to the Great Lake and the meeting center of the south, east and west.

Government forces will launch a full-scale assault on Goma with this as the center.

Once in Qatar, the vehicles returned to their bases, this time loaded with all sorts of logistical supplies, enough for the troops to spend a month there.

The war in Africa was still in the backward stage of attacking during the day and truce at night, but when it was night, the traveling army launched a tentative attack on Goma.

To everyone's surprise, the rebels, who had always been on a par with the government army, retreated directly to the city in the first round of attacks.

They lack heavy weapons and rely mainly on manpower to fight. In the face of a fully mechanized attack, the power of howitzers and special tanks made them directly abandon the outer front.

That night, a small group of rebel soldiers harassed the base near the Great Lake, but more than 100 soldiers with light weapons and light mortars did not even capture the perimeter of the base, leaving behind more than a dozen corpses and retreating in the darkness of the night.

The harassment of the base around the tour sent all the fighters out, but there was still a security team of 500 people left, the base was set up by Billy Young, and the main combat headquarters was in the middle of the mountain, and the attackers released more than a dozen artillery shells, and even the planes parked on the runway did not attack.

From the next day, the rebels no longer had a chance to attack the base of the tour, because the fierce attack gave them no respite, and they were defeated in the face of artillery and tanks, only light weapons.

In its original history, the DRC faced rebels and the two sides were evenly matched. In the end, they had no choice but to send Rwandan troops to help them encircle and suppress Nkunda's forces.

It took four months, from August to December, to capture Nkunda in Rwanda.

However, this time, with the assistance of Zhou You, Kabila did not turn to Rwanda for help at all, and the power of their attack also made Nkunda feel desperate, because the bullying style of the traveling army was simply not something they could afford.

On June 6, the traveling army went into battle, all the soldiers in the mechanized tanks, and the Congolese soldiers fighting in concert outside.

In just a week, the government forces had completely conquered Goma, the death toll of the government troops was less than a hundred, and not a single soldier on the tour died, only three were seriously wounded, and one tank was lost.

And Nkunda's soldiers died more than two hundred, more than five hundred were taken prisoner, and they ceded Goma City.

Seeing that they were incapacitated, Nkunda's gang quickly abandoned Goma and fled north, fleeing into the primeval forests of the north.

At this time, the traveling mechanized troops abandoned the attack. Because in the rainforest, where there are no roads, mechanized troops are useless.

Helping government forces capture Goma, the capital of North Kivu province, their mission was completed. If it were to travel around and send troops into the primeval forests, I am afraid that the number of non-war attrition would be far greater than the combat attrition.

Kabila also knows very well where Zhou You's bottom line is, and Zhou You has helped them win Goma, which has already made them quite satisfied. In the next phase of the mission, Zhou You's army will help them take Butembo, another large city controlled by Nkunda's gang, and Zhou You will no longer be involved in other battles.
