Kagame couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, but he didn't feel that Hou Dasheng was scolding him. www.biquge.info In fact, if you think about it carefully, what Hou Dasheng said is not a lie or empty talk. This is a big truth. Good soldiers, elites, there are no shortcuts. It's nothing more than throwing money, desperately throwing money.

Training, equipment consumed, diet consumed, ammunition consumed...... And so on, it's a lot of money. You'll also have to have professional instructors and professional soldiers who will show you how to fight, how to fight, how to defend yourself on the battlefield and kill the enemy.

Burn money, you have to sweat. Practicing to the death, practicing like crazy. Cannon fodder can not be practiced, but you want to be elite and want to survive on the battlefield. Then the only way is to practice more. Crazy to familiarize yourself with all kinds of weapons and how to fight.

In the end, what must be done is to see the blood. The value of actual combat is that you can extinguish a fresh life with no expression and no mood fluctuations. Your comrades will also be injured and will die. Maybe you are brothers who have died, but he may have been hit directly by a stray bullet and died in front of you.

His brains will splatter all over you, and you'll see his eyes that are eager to live lose their lustre. You will see his blood spurting out of him, and the face that splashes on yours gradually loses its color and turns pale. At this time, you don't have to scream like a and drop the gun and run for your life.

It's not like a stunned movie actor who rushes out stupidly with a gun, thinking that he has the aura of the protagonist and won't be shot indiscriminately and turned into minced meat all over the ground. What you have to do is get down on your stomach and dodge the other person's bullets. Survive and fight back. Survive to give you a chance to do something else. Like slaughtering the brother who killed you.

When you're dead, you're a pile of minced meat. Like your brother with the shattered head, and walk together in the Netherworld. Someone may shed a few tears for you, but soon you will be forgotten. Aside from your family, not many people will think of you often.

So, see the blood. Really walk a few back and forth on the killing field. Burst a few heads with his own hands, and watched his friends and brothers being beaten to death. And then you survive, and you know how you can survive better. If you know how to take out the crumbs that are fighting against you, you'll be pretty much the best.

Three or four battles down alive are considered to be practiced.

"They practiced very hard, but fortunately there was no shortage of wild animals in the jungle. We also have guns. Hou Dasheng said lightly to Kagame: "The first battle against the guerrillas was done by us. But then for some of the tribes who coveted our mines, they did it. ”

Hou Dasheng's words made Kagame stunned at first, and then his whole body was cold. The mine has developed, and naturally there are more covetous eyes. This is especially true when most of the Rwandan troops are being redeployed to the border and the front lines. Some people have thoughts that they shouldn't have started.

During the storm, Kagame didn't ask how the Hou Dasheng mine was coping. Because this can already be seen in the mine protection team. Years of war in Rwanda have left many guns scattered among the people. This is also the norm in most countries in Africa, and it is very simple to want a gun here.

For $8, you'll be able to own an AK. Of course, this gun may have changed more than a hundred owners. Even it's older than you. But as long as you dare to open, then you can use it. Although this gun will explode at any time, what does it matter?!

The least valuable thing here is human life. With a bunch of guns in their hands, the tribesmen who thought they were the kings of grass started the idea of a mine. Then the force of their tribe disappeared. Many of the mine guards are not from good people's backgrounds. In this war-torn land, the good people have long since died.

There are not many good people who survive. They don't have any psychological pressure to kill those who dare to put their good lives on hold. If you kill too many people, you will be able to do it. It takes a lot of training and consumes a lot of resources. Having seen blood again, they naturally looked much more elite than the other Rwandan troops.

Kagame pondered Hou Dasheng's words, but in the end he could only sigh and be silent. Rwanda can't afford that much money to do this. Being able to maintain basic training is almost the limit. Despite their many years of combat experience, they did not receive professional training.

This is also why the Tutsi armed forces had already attacked the periphery of the capital at that time, but they were directly dispersed by the French with more than 100 paratroopers. Modern warfare is beyond their capabilities. Although they have experienced many actual battles, they have not been systematically trained and summarized.

With great courage, they defeated the Hutu forces. But in the battle with the French, he was defeated. This is not without reason.

Kagame also knew what the problem was, but there was nothing he could do to change it. In other words, everyone in the Rwandan military administration knows what the problem is. But there is nothing that can be done about it. An elite army needs a lot of resources and funds to feed. This situation is even more pronounced under the impact of modernization.

Let's just say that the simplest artillery, artillery is one of the technical arms that many countries desire but cannot obtain. Don't think that artillery is simple, the calculation of firing Zhuyuan, the command of artillery. It's all a huge amount of knowledge. Modern times are also supplemented by artillery radar, which calculates the position of the opponent's artillery position in the fastest way according to the enemy's artillery fire to launch a counterattack.

The artillery should shoulder the cover of artillery fire, destroy the fire points of the enemy's position, uproot the bunkers and pillboxes at fixed points, and suppress the enemy's artillery counterattack...... And so on. The types and calibers of artillery are also different, and the battlefield situations they deal with are also different.

Howitzers, mortars, cannons, cannons and howitzers are mostly used for long-range fire support because of their ballistics, range, etc. Mortars, on the other hand, are mostly used in mountain warfare, urban street battles, and trench cleaning because of their ballistic curves and short shelling distances.

With the development of the times, there were even howitzers, mortars, and even flat-firing mortars. And its ammunition has also extended from simple flowering shells to exclusive ammunition for killing, blasting, and taking into account anti-personnel blasting, as well as armor-piercing, armor-piercing, and armor-fragmenting ...... and other shells specifically for armor.

In addition, submunitions, flares, smoke bombs, white phosphorus bombs, chemical bombs, ...... And so on, and so on. The development is gradually refined, and the division of labor is refined. This deters small countries. Especially in African countries, you hardly see too many technical arms.

And including armored forces, aviation units, fleets...... And so on these more technically complex troops, the division of labor is more detailed, let alone the hope.

In the final analysis, this one needs to be supported by a lot of money and resources. It is also necessary to have a sufficiently high-quality personnel to join in order for these troops to become an army. What is even more rare than resources and funds is a large number of technical arms with a certain quality. To operate artillery, you need to know how to calculate the elements in modern times.

These are all things that require you to know at least basic math. However, such basic education is almost non-existent in Rwanda. How are you going to get them to set up these classes?! A lot of times it's not that you don't want to, it's that you can' There is absolutely no way.

Beyond these, modern warfare has become more than just a war of men. More often than not, you need to fight logistics, that is, bullets, provisions, transportation. Many people don't know that there are not many countries and regions on this planet that can produce artillery with production lines, or even use small handicraft workshops to produce guns.

But there are not many countries that can produce the most important need for guns and artillery - their ammunition. Basically, as long as a country has a near-modern industrial capacity, it is not difficult to produce its own guns and artillery. But there are not even thirty countries on the planet that can produce bullets.

And even fewer countries are able to produce shells at the same time as bullets. There are only thirteen.

Don't underestimate a bullet or a cannonball, this is an assessment of a country's industrial capacity and smelting process. Even some countries, which seem to be "great powers", are not able to really complete the production of bullets and shells. The most typical example is India.

It is not that India has not tried to produce its own bullets and artillery shells, trying to get out of the dilemma of needing to import even bullets and artillery shells. However, their attempt failed. Their home-grown bullets have such a high rate of explosion that their own soldiers refuse to use them. In desperation, India could only maintain its training by importing ammunition.

In addition to ordinary bullets and shells, there are even fewer countries that can produce ammunition for professional snipers and special ammunition. It's just pitiful. There are fewer than ten countries on the planet that can produce professional, targeted guns and shells.

The five permanent members, Germany, Japan, the Czech Republic and Israel. Maybe Canada can be added?! But he uses American technology, which is not strictly speaking.

In addition to guns and shells, there are even fewer countries that can still have stable rocket launch technology. Even counting the countries that have independent rocket launch technology, there are only ten. In addition to launching, there are only four companies that can have independent research and development technology: China, the United States, Russia, and the European Space Agency.

The huge gap in strength cannot be filled and made clear in one or two sentences. This huge technological divide separates small countries from large ones. This huge technological gap and gap is simply far from making people feel hopeless.

Kagame is well aware of the situation in Rwanda, and Rwanda's political and military circles are also very clear. So, even if they knew about the existence of these gaps, they could only do nothing. (To be continued.) )
