Chapter 1242 Bait Fishing VII
"What's going on out there? The day after tomorrow will start attacking Beni, these people do not have a good rest, shouting like a vegetable market, there is no discipline at all! Intelligence staff, go and see what the hell is going on! The commander of the security company of the American Veterans Alliance said with a frown in the cafeteria of the former mercenary barracks brigade headquarters.
Although the Ugandan government army and two United States mercenary companies occupied the mercenary camps in Mutuwanga, they did not benefit at all except for some buildings. The mercenary corps is like a professional scraper, and the warehouses of the barracks are empty, and there are no useful supplies at all, and they are estimated to starve the rats to death.
Not only that, but all the men and women under the age of 50 in the town, including children, moved to Beni for a while, leaving only some of the very old people at home. The commanders of the government army and the mercenary company are very understanding of such a move, and they praise the mercenary corps for doing things without leakage.
The soldiers who have experienced the test of blood and fire often do a lot of outrageous things after the battle, and the armies of some countries are very excessive, such as killing innocent people, humiliating local women, etc., but the officers can only turn a blind eye to this, and not every country has the iron discipline of the Chinese army.
"Report to the commander, here's the thing, the government army disliked their own food, so they came to the mercenary's canteen to eat, and our management did not agree, and as a result, the two sides fought." The intelligence staff officer figured things out in a few minutes.
Of course, the mercenary food is good, especially the mercenaries in the United States, relying on their high income, what grilled chicken wings, fried chicken thighs, beef stew, fried pork chops, fish pieces, fruit salad, wraps, pies, coffee, juice, etc., that is everything.
Although the field meal on the battlefield tastes good and is very nutritious, there is still a big gap between the usual meals. Bloodshed and sweated, and finally occupied a piece of territory in four days, the cooks of the mercenary company naturally had to treat their troops well, so the meal was extremely rich, and as a result, the government troops were also recruited.
The food of the Ugandan government army is far from that of a mercenary company, and the country's original staple food was banana rice, which is roasted or steamed bananas, which are not the usual fruit bananas, but something similar to sweet potatoes. Cut into slices and steamed, mixed with peanut butter, braised chicken nuggets or beef curry, it is said to taste good.
"Your Ugandan military is really good enough to pick the door, we have no objection to being diligent and thrifty, but now is the time to fight, the officers and soldiers eat and drink well, so that they have the strength and spirit to participate in the battle, this is the most basic common sense, our common employer has already allocated military funds to you, buy more meat to treat the army, make it like this, everyone's face is not good-looking." The commander of the security company of the American Veterans Union said with great dissatisfaction.
"That's right, we also know that Uganda's poor penny is broken in half and spent, but it also has to be divided into time, as long as the employer's commission is completed, there will be more military spending in the future, don't just look at the small money in front of you, do things in the long run." said the commander of the American professional security company.
The generals of the Ugandan government army immediately felt very embarrassed when they heard this, as high-ranking generals such as army commanders, division commanders, and brigade commanders, they were of course qualified to eat in the mercenary headquarters cafeteria, and they ate very comfortably, but they naturally knew the reason for what was happening outside.
The second war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo was actually a struggle between Western European countries and the Golden Triangle Federation for Africa's right to speak, and Uganda was just a springboard or a smokescreen. However, no one wants to do something that is not beneficial, and Uganda, as one of the poorest countries in the world, has coveted the resources of the Democratic Republic of the Congo for a long time, but it will not easily start a war.
Western European countries have provided Uganda with a number of thermal power generation equipment and industrial machine tools, provided weapons and equipment and instructors for the Ugandan government army, and also provided a very considerable amount of military expenditure.
However, the country's finances at the present stage are really too poor, the annual interest on foreign debts is an astonishing figure, and even food is not self-sufficient; economic development, infrastructure, education, medical care, and so on, everywhere need to spend money, and road traffic is even more bottomless.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, the ship was late and the head wind was blowing, and the Ugandan government was a little struggling, because there was no financial resources, and the Congo was involved in the problem, and it was blocked by the Golden Triangle Federal Organization for International Cooperation.
Before the war, Western European countries allocated funds and secretly funded military expenditures of up to $3 billion, and the size of the Ugandan government army was only 100,000 people, which is equivalent to $30,000 per soldier, which is equal to Uganda's fiscal revenue for a year.
But as soon as the money arrived, the army didn't have time to be happy, and in the blink of an eye, two-thirds of it was gone, and the government swept it away.
Banana rice is there, it's not worth much, there are African bananas produced locally, and there are some scones and rice, and vegetables such as peppers, tomatoes, and eggplants are served, and red bean juice and peanut butter are distributed, and the meat dishes are grilled salted fish.
But there are no beef and chicken nuggets at all, and other meat dishes can not be said, even if it is a day or two, no one can stand it after a long time. Seeing that the mercenaries' meals were so good, some thick-skinned government soldiers came here to eat.
The style of American mercenaries in doing things has always been rampant, domineering and unscrupulous, and this is a stinky problem left over from the previous service in the US army, and it is normal for them to take advantage of others, and it is absolutely impossible for others to take advantage of them.
Of course I am not happy to see people from the government army going to our own canteen to eat, no matter how good the food is, it is also earned by us with our lives and blood, why should we give it to you?
The Ugandan government army is also aggrieved in my heart, paralyzed, don't think we don't know, in the process of the Battle of Mutuwanga, the seven infantry divisions of our government army have all become cannon fodder for your mercenary company, this battle can be won, it is our credit, what's wrong with eating something from you?
The way of thinking of the two sides is different, and the soldiers are also the type of character, each of them does not give in, and the result is a fight, fortunately, there is no major conflict for the time being, but the government army was beaten by the mercenaries with a blue nose and swollen face with blood at the corners of the mouth, this hatred can not be solved, and it also buried hidden dangers later.
