Chapter 160: A New Form
A few days after being a rich man who sat on the ground to collect money, a new troublesome thing came. The old fellow had finished reading Salich's diary, and he told me that in the diary, Salish and Kochiman became business partners, and that Salich promised to help Kochiman become the strongest Serb force in the area, and Kochiman would help Salich strengthen his position in the region.
I wasn't surprised to hear the news, as I had told the oil bottle before that there must be a very convincing reason for Jojic and Petkovic's sudden attack. Now it's only been confirmed, and only we have confirmed it here, and it should have been clear and understandable to Jojic for a long time ago.
But that's not the point, the more important point is that the old guy said that Salehi's diary also mentions that the Eastern Camp and Keqiman also had contact, and it was private. That is to say, the contact was made out of Salihi, who knew that this was known through the information and intelligence provided by his own eyeline.
This was a bit of a surprise to me. Privately and secretly contacted, what is this ready to do? This kind of contact probably can't be the guy with no beard and no eyebrows, right? That guy was more like me, he was actually in charge of the dirty work, and that guy hated the Serbs, so it shouldn't be appropriate for him to come into contact with him. To have private contact with people, this kind of thing should be done by an old guy like Younis, then it corresponds to the one in the Eastern Battalion... Could it be the liaison officer?
When I told Younis what I thought, the old guy smiled and nodded, saying that he thought so too. And told me that it seems that there are many people who want to cooperate with Ke Qiman. What he meant by this was clearly NATO, which continues to infiltrate Serbia.
I'm not interested in who infiltrates whom, I'm more concerned about organizing an armed attack against Kochiman. When I said this, the old guy Younis hesitated, he said that it may not be the time yet, Ke Qiman should still be in the wavering stage, maybe there is still a chance to fight, and even if he does it, he will have to discuss with someone first, such as the head of the seventeenth bureau, another old agent Klinger.
Since I was not going to do anything about it for the time being, I immediately lost interest in the subject, so I inquired about the current situation of this Serbian armed group and the Eastern Battalion. According to the information recently received by the old guy, the Serbian armed forces led by Kostic are actually divided at present. What Kostic himself could control was a group of people he had recruited, most of whom were led and commanded by Milic, and their numbers had increased a lot from the previous defeat in Kosovo, with a total number of about seventy or eighty people, but most of them were young people with little experience.
At present, the strongest armed group in the organization is we, an armed gang that is a hundred times more brutal than Salish, which is currently rumored to be the "Grand Duke" by the outside world. On a par with us is Ke Qiman, who originally thought that Jojic and Petkovic's attack this time would make Ko Qiman, who had already suffered a lot of losses, embarrassed, but now it seems that Keqiman has recovered very quickly after that attack on Salish, at least from the personnel It can be seen that he has recruited a lot of good players, and it is not clear where these personnel come from. But it is clear from this firefight that the combination of Jojic and Petkovic cannot completely defeat Kochiman.
Behind Kelchiman is the wavering guy Fastic. However, it may be that in the next period of time, this guy will be assigned to Keqiman's gang, after all, the team at the last moment has already labeled himself as an unusually eye-catching one.
Then there is Jojic and then Petkovic. Jojic's forces have suffered heavy losses, and the previous firefight with Salish and Kochiman has greatly discounted his forces, and what about Petkovic? Since returning from the disastrous defeat in Kosovo, it has not returned to its previous level, and the current number of personnel is about 70 or 80, not even half of the previous personnel, and the weapons and equipment are not good. The two men are now standing together and facing off against the alliance formed by Kirchiman and Fastic.
At the end of the list is Kostic, this guy has a very good relationship with the local government army and the government, but only the armed forces he controls are very poor, let alone attacking others, if someone attacks them, he has to thank God for his own people and guns to keep himself.
The current form has mixed feelings for us. Happily, the old guy is infiltrating Serbia through Kostic step by step, after all, now Kostic has to rely on us, and Milic is actually acting with us, and so far the cooperation is good. And our victory over Salish, as a participating Milic, Kostic also made a lot of credit in the book. And the fight between Ke Qiman and those two brought us another joy, that is, if these two guys can't beat Ke Qiman, they are very likely to fall to us, and then be infiltrated and controlled by the old guys. As I, who is only responsible for hands-on, I also have more helpers against Ke Qiman and even the Dongfang Battalion.
But the concerns are also obvious. Kirchiman is slowly sliding to the side of our enemies. In the past, although it was guarded, it was not enough to really do it, but at present, the possibility of doing it is getting bigger and bigger. And when the time comes, the same situation may arise again as in the fight against Salish, that is, the forces of the Eastern Battalion or NATO will intervene, then at that time I maybe, I should say that I will definitely face a much more difficult situation than the previous battle of the barracks, the battle will be very difficult to fight, and the outcome will be unpredictable.
What are we going to do? When I asked this, the old guy's first decision was to woo Jojic and Petkovic, sell them weapons first, and then also involve them in the "business" activities of Grandet and Gradzi in the market. Tie them to the chain of our interests.
Of course, this old fellow Younis is in charge of these things, and I don't have the good temper of him to talk to people slowly. But I think it can be done most of the time, those two guys are not fuel-efficient lamps, they just met a more fuel-efficient one than them.
After talking about "your own people", then there is the enemy. Camp Orient, the news that the old guy received about Camp Orient was more exciting to me. Because the news said that more than half of the people who participated in the attack that day were killed and wounded, and they suffered heavy losses in personnel and equipment. Most of the tasks and daily schedules that had been in the past have been cancelled. The entire camp was heavily guarded, and a multinational force was moving much closer in their direction, as if it was going to help defend it. And there are already voices to tune them out of here, but there is no official decision yet, and it is said that the beardless guy has sworn revenge, but with their actual situation, it is difficult to fulfill the vow.
After rejoicing, worry comes. The previously invincible defeat of the Vostok Battalion led NATO's intelligence services to begin gathering intelligence about us, and this work is now underway. That is to say, we are beginning to face retaliation from NATO all the time, and as time goes on, the danger grows.
This worries Younis so much that he intends to let us end our mission here early and secretly evacuate Serbia. But that would have to be done in consultation with Klinger or someone else.
For me, whether I continue to do it or leave, as long as I'm still here, I have to be ready to fight. I think the old guy made a request for the supply of weapons and equipment. The old guy told me that all the equipment was already on the way, and this time it was not only enough for me to use, but also for sale.
With these more important things said, Younis went on to talk about the situation of the small armed groups in the area under his control after the fall of Salish. He told me that of the four that Salish had controlled, two of them were almost wiped out in the battle with us, and the other two were also damaged to varying degrees, and they survived because they had anticipated the outcome earlier, and did not retreat into the territory but ran away. The old guy told me that the two who survived could be co-opted.
Speaking of which, I do have plans to replenish personnel. After all, my personnel losses are not small, and I have to be careful if I continue to stay here, and then the combat manpower will be less and less and eventually there will be a situation where there will be no more and fewer people. But now I am a guerrilla force, and it is impossible to replenish personnel at will, I want to get reliable people with military experience or actual combat experience. This threshold made it difficult for me to recruit, and the old guy said he couldn't help me. I also know this, and I think that maybe only the old god Vukovic can help me in this matter. I'll have to find some time to talk to Vukovic.
After understanding this, several of us did a division of labor. Younis will go and disarm Jojic and Petkovic, and will look for an opportunity to co-opt the two small forces that had helped Salish, and will discuss with Klinger and the others about Kochiman and our whereabouts as soon as possible.
As for me, I'm going to talk to Vukovic and try to organize some reliable people to join the team. What about Milk? He is mainly responsible for the work of the supermarket, and the daily affairs of the camp are entrusted to the old guy Yugovich, and Vurić and Pulcic work with the old guy.
After the assignment of work, the old guy Yugovich approached me alone and wanted to talk to me.
