Now the situation has changed somewhat.

The Abs government and government had no army, only a police force of several thousand men scattered throughout the country, poorly equipped and rustic.

How can this police force outfight the armed forces of disbanded army officers, native soldiers, and radical youth?

There was a precedent for this, when Asteid came to power in 1994 and disbanded the army, leaving only 3,000 armed police officers to maintain law and order.

In 2004, in the face of a massive armed insurgency by the opposition, the police force was powerless and helpless to clean up the turmoil.

Eventually, Astead was ousted from power and fled abroad for refuge.

History repeats itself again.

It is expected that the Abs government and government will soon be overthrown without the support of the US military and the International Stability Maintenance Mission.

It is very likely that the newly appointed government will tear up the treaty signed between the government and Chen Rui.

78.12 square kilometres of land in the eastern part of Tortuga Island that had been sold by the Arbers Government were forcibly recovered by force.

Rather than waiting for the newly inaugurated government to tear up the signed treaty, send troops to forcibly reclaim the eastern part of Torga Island.

Until then.

The number of convoys defending the eastern part of Tortuga is only 150 people, and with the Coast Patrol and police, it is less than 250 people.

Helpless in the face of the attack of thousands of people.

It's better to be proactive.

For the sake of defense and self-preservation, it is urgent to increase the number of escorts.

Chen Rui nodded, and said to Burke. Harry asked, "How many more people do the convoy need?" ”

Burke. Harry said to Chen Rui, "The Security Committee takes into account the economic strength of the sea, the number of troops, the combat effectiveness of the local soldiers, weapons and equipment, and other aspects. Increase the number of escorts to 1,200 people, supplement some heavy defensive weapons, combat helicopters, and have enough strength to defend against the opponent's attack. ”

Escort in the number of 150 people.

Every year, Chen Rui needs to spend 800+ US dollars on the salaries, benefits, subsidies, and expenses for purchasing weapons and equipment of the escort team members.

With an annual expenditure of $8 million in military spending, Chen Rui can afford it.

The number of convoys increased to 1,200 people.

After calculation, Chen Rui needs to spend 6000+ US dollars every year, plus the purchase of weapons and equipment, he needs to spend more than 100 million+ US dollars in military spending.

That's not a small number.

Chen Rui felt a lot of pressure.

However, the time has come to increase the number of convoys.

Chen Rui will not give up increasing the number of escorts because of too much pressure on military spending.

When the army of the sea came to attack, they were helpless.

The people who lived on the island were liquidated and killed by the radicals of the sea.

Chen Rui's huge treasure was plundered.

Chen Rui could only rely on the earth escape technique and the water escape technique to escape.

Chen Rui vs. Burke. Harry asked, "What about the U.S. attitude toward increasing the number of convoys to 1,200?" ”

1,200 is not a small number.

150 people in a company, 1200 people in 8 companies.

12 people in a combat group, 1200 people is a 100 combat group.

In some areas, it is not a small force.

Tortuga in particular is located in the heart of America's backyard, at the crossroads of the Caribbean Sea.

The location is prominent.

Increasing the number of convoys to 1200 people, the attitude of the United States is very important.

Burke. Harry said to Chen Rui, "The U.S. government has approved the export of weapons to us, including 12 Bell 407 helicopters, a batch of weapons and equipment, military vehicles, communication equipment, etc., which is enough to equip 1,500+ people."

U.S. defense equipment officials have also mentioned the possibility of selling us several small defense warships. ”

Chen Rui nodded.

From this point it can be seen that the United States has taken a tacit attitude with the increase in the number of convoys in the eastern part of Tortuga to 1,200 people.

At least Chen Rui's foothold in the eastern part of Tortuga Island is tacitly approved by the United States, which is important.

This may have something to do with Chen Rui's stance with Ohei at the White House Christmas banquet last year.

Neutrality.

There is no intention to destabilize the situation in local areas.

It is in the interest of the United States to see the rise of a city in the Caribbean that is like the Xiangjiang River in the East.

The U.S. can rely on the free port of Tortuga to radiate U.S. commercial interests more deeply to the countries of the Gabil region.

For example, the coffee of the sea.

The most famous coffee in the world is known to be Jamaica's Blue Mountain coffee.

On Google Maps, the sea and Jamaica are two countries bordering each other, at the same latitude, with the same natural environment and climate, with fertile volcanic soil, clean air, no pollution, humid climate, foggy and rainy all year round.

It's just that Jamaican coffee is well cultivated and processed, resulting in the world's most famous Blue Mountain coffee.

However, due to war and poverty, the coffee of the sea has not been well cultivated and processed, and even in the final selection stage, the coffee beans of the sea do not distinguish the difference in the quality of the coffee beans of each farm, and the coffee beans are mixed together, and the coffee of the sea is not famous in the world.

Often seen as a blended coffee.

In Japan and Japan, Haitian coffee is often blended into Jamaican coffee, which makes Blue Mountain coffee more intense and is known as the Blue Mountain Companion.

To use an analogy, two people from the same environment, Jamaican coffee is well cultivated and processed, and Haimaican coffee is not well cultivated and processed because of war and poverty, and is the maid who waits for the master.

The supply of the world's top coffee exceeds the supply.

If the coffee of the sea can be well cultivated and processed, and the top coffee like the Blue Mountain coffee can be cultivated, the annual output value will reach tens of billions of dollars.

In addition to coffee, there are various commercial interests such as resources, trade, financial markets, etc., which can be realized by relying on the free port of Tortuga.

This is in the interests of the United States, which is willing to develop Tortuga Island into a free port like the Xiangjiang River in the East, in accordance with Chen Rui's vision.

The United States has adopted an attitude of tacit approval and limited support for Chen Rui's foothold in the eastern part of Tortuga Island and the development of a well-equipped and well-trained escort force of 1,200+ people.

It is conceivable that Chen Rui will maintain a secret moon period with the United States for a long time.

Of course, Chen Rui will die if he wants to.

Like Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, the Soviet Union was allowed to deploy missiles on Cuban territory aimed at the continental United States.

Or allow other countries to lease naval bases on the island of Tortuga.

Every day, they shout anti-American, want to kill all the Americans, are hostile to the United States, and have strong hostility towards the United States.

This act of death will soon die.
