Chapter 936: Serial Set One

In order to allow Afghanistan to carry out an uninterrupted armed struggle with the United States and achieve Wu Chen's strategic goal of using war to drag down the United States, Thompson personally took command, extracted a group of senior officers from various units and rushed to Afghanistan, secretly set up more than 100 training camps, and formed a guerrilla force of tens of thousands within three years, which was also the predecessor of the future Afghan government army.

Afghanistan's salary is very low, it is one of the poorest countries in the world, the mercenary corps target is 100,000 people, and the soldier's salary is only 300 US dollars per month, which is considered a high income in Afghanistan, and the full strength adds up to 30 million US dollars a month, plus daily expenses, 50 million US dollars is enough, and the mercenary corps can afford to support these guerrilla forces.

But there is no impermeable wall in the world, although the secrecy work is very well done, but the whereabouts of so many people are not so easy to conceal, the mercenary army's explanation to the Taliban government is that this is a mercenary recruit in the local recruits, trained to be sent to the field to carry out combat missions, hoping that the government will cover up, just say that it is to train the army for the Taliban.

Due to the good cooperative relations between the two sides, the Taliban government also acquiesced, and several high-ranking officials "accidentally" leaked the word that foreign instructors had come to Afghanistan to train a modern army for the government, and it was precisely because of the cover-up that they had misled the intelligence officers of the Northern Alliance.

The best instructors for guerrilla warfare are naturally the special forces, and the mercenary corps does not lack such resources, and there are members from various countries, but the attitude of Afghanistan towards Britain and Russia is not friendly, after all, there are two unforgettable wars, and the United States must also be extremely disgusted, Thompson has no choice but to send members of France and Germany, as well as Israel, to Afghanistan, which are all retired officers of the special forces.

Wu Chen didn't pay attention at the time, and didn't find out about this situation until the war was about to start, so he had a series of schemes, for him, no matter how many people died on both sides, it was not as valuable as making the United States suspicious of Israel and European countries.

"Germans, French and Israelis? If they are all from the special forces, this problem is serious, it stands to reason that the Taliban government has no cooperation with these countries, how can they come here to help train the army, it is too illogical! Do you think that those people are instructors of mercenary regiments, so that many things can make sense, after all, the two sides also have military cooperation. The chief of staff of the division said with a frown.

"I can say with certainty, with the temper and character of the Taliban government leader, he will never let his army be trained by mercenaries, the world's largest mercenary organization, the ability to burn money is quite terrifying, the vast majority of the weapons used are the United States and the former Soviet Union, representing the world's most cutting-edge technology, everyone wants good things, but you have to face the reality."

"With the national conditions of Afghanistan, it is determined that those Western modern military training subjects cannot be realized at all, because the government does not have so much money to buy high-tech weapons and equipment, where will the modernization come from? A year's financial income, after throwing away the necessary expenses, the remaining money is not enough to buy a few Apache gunships! ”

"The mercenary army's mode of operation is only suitable for those developed countries or oil countries with sufficient finances, and it is by no means suitable for Afghanistan, and the Taliban government cannot afford the cost of training alone, and the mercenary army has no precedent of compulsory labor." said the chief of staff of the Northern Alliance.

The nature of mercenaries is pure money, this is the premise of everything, if you don't make money, you have to be a mercenary, and you have to pin your head to the waistband of your pants and eat together? Don't say anything about compulsory labor, it is not valid for mercenaries, and it is not good to earn less! The Taliban government is still anxious about the food of the common people, and will not devote its mind to the army.

At present, there are probably two situations in countries that can afford to hire mercenaries for training, the first is to purchase the cutting-edge weapons and equipment of mercenary regiments, and according to the usual practice, they will receive relevant skills training.

The second is pure hiring, just like the combined armies of the Gulf countries, the cost of personnel training alone will cost more than a billion dollars a year, and the instructors of the mercenary corps are charged on an hourly basis.

And there is another problem, when the mercenary regiment fights, it has a fight with the American army, and when the fight starts, strategic bombers are dispatched at every turn to first throw bombs all over the world, and then the army mechanized troops and armored units cooperate, fighter high-altitude cover, plus helicopter low-altitude protection, with a devastating momentum, the cost of this set is astronomical, and Afghanistan cannot afford it at all.

"The reasons you mentioned are very reasonable, the current situation of Afghanistan is indeed not suitable for modern military operations, the army's mechanized troops and armored units cannot be used, the air force's investment is too great, the cost of high-tech equipment is too high, but the mercenary corps, a military organization, is equipped with the top weapons of the United States and the former Soviet Union, and it is completely a high-tech combat routine, and the trained officers and soldiers are incompatible with the current environment, continued." The deputy division commander said.

"I think those people must have some kind of mission, but also with weapons and equipment and funds, after all, they are responsible for everything in the training camp, and the Taliban government will not provide these, as for the purpose, I can't guess, but they have the same goal as the al-Qaeda terrorist organization, and those advanced weapons and equipment that have appeared in the past few days, especially anti-tank missiles and portable anti-aircraft missiles, must have been brought by them." said the chief of staff of the Northern Alliance.

The chief of staff of this Northern Alliance is not simple, his thinking is clear and logical, and he is a talent! Several senior commanders of the American and British armies were much kinder to this man, and capable people should be respected.

"This is the third trap, the honor of the American army cannot be humiliated, we need to change our tactics in the future, put away our contempt for the Taliban army, and go all out to fight the other side, this kind of rash behavior of the enemy can no longer be repeated."

"Don't think about a quick victory, judging by the situation in front of us, if we want to occupy Afghanistan, it will take half a year to eight months, the other side's weapons and equipment are very simple, but the military quality is quite high, I want to communicate with the Ministry of Defense as soon as possible." The deputy division commander said.

"Your Excellency Deputy Division Commander, a very unfortunate thing happened just now, we killed more than twenty Navy SEALs!" The chief of staff of the division looked annoyed. "What's the situation, could it be that the Navy SEALs on patrol and search missions were also ambushed by the Taliban army?" The deputy division commander felt that his brain was no longer enough.
