Chapter 314: Troop Increase Resolution
The transformation of Blackwater's strategic development is related to whether it can become a multinational enterprise in the future, and the military operation in Kalimantan is related to the success of Blackwater's investment in the mining industry.
The convergence of interests here can be said to be very complicated, and the shareholders of the United Mining Company are basically a group of people who can speak to the government, and their influence is definitely much stronger than that of Tang Wei and Jiang Junbo.
If this operation fails, and the development of United Mining cannot be continued, it is conceivable that once other interest groups take the opportunity to extract coal, what will happen to United Mining's coal sales.
The Blackwater Security Company is nominally only a security company, but its subordinate departments are divided into the Intelligence Section, the Operations Department, the Staff Department, the Logistics Department, and the important departments of one section and three departments, among which the work of the intelligence department is mainly to collect information on the tribes and kingdoms to be attacked in advance, as well as the information of the protectors.
The role of the War Department is to be responsible for actual battlefield combat and the training of Blackwater soldiers in peacetime, and the existence of the General Staff Department is responsible for studying battlefield strategies, conducting preliminary research according to the information sent by the intelligence department, and then making changes according to the actual situation on the battlefield.
Although the number of staff headquarters in Blackwater is the smallest among all departments, its specifications are on the same level as the other two major departments, which fully explains its role. It can be said that the average small Southeast Asian country is actually its opponent at all, and its operating mechanism is almost the same as that of Australia's own military system.
This operation in Kalimantan speaks even more, but the people of Landak would choose to resist, which was not expected by the General Staff Headquarters, judging from the information collected in the past, the people of Landak would generally only send envoys to negotiate peace after learning of the fact that the village was occupied, and would not send troops.
That's why Oshima Masaka sent a telegram to increase the troops, with the current strength of 200 people, it is obviously not enough to directly attack the capital of the opponent's kingdom, in addition to the supply of materials and other things also need to be guarded and escorted, and the captured prisoners and other issues also need to divide the troops.
Once the war starts, the number of people who can actually be put into battle is only about 120. Or in a compression it could reach 150 people, but in this case the material and prisoners are very dangerous.
As a good commander, Oshima Masaka didn't dare to take this risk, once he and the others fell into a desperate situation, there would be no chance of survival, so the only thing they could do at present was basically to wait for the telegram from the staff headquarters.
The General Staff Headquarters is where Blackwater's think tank is located, which not only includes Tang Wei, Chief of the General Staff, and Jiang Junbo, Commander of the Supreme Operations Department, but also other outstanding talents have been absorbed into it.
At this time, Blackwater's staff headquarters was studying the telegram sent by Masaka Oshima, and according to the intelligence department's investigation, the Landaks had indeed recruited many newly recruited soldiers from the country. The number had reached about five thousand, though not all of them had been sent to the camp in Blackwater.
However, at least more than 2,000 troops entered the village named United City that Blackwater currently occupies, and as for the specific location of this place, it is actually not far from the later Sangatta, only about five kilometers.
Because of the United Mining, it was named Union City, and it was also a concentration of blackwater material captives. A circular defensive fence has been constructed around the perimeter with existing trees and wire, and four watchtowers are under construction.
According to the meaning of the General Staff Headquarters. This will be the general headquarters of the combat operations force on the island of Blackwater Kalimantan, so the natural defense is much stronger than that of the Dutch.
Although the Dutch built a similar defensive fence based on the gourd painting, it was still incomparable to Blackwater to a certain extent due to the lack of supplies.
"If there is no increase in troops, as it stands. It was very difficult to force Landak to sign a treaty, and only by storming their capital and controlling their king could the current war be ended. The longer we fight, the greater the cost will be, which is very bad for us. ”
Tang Wei waved the whip with one hand and propped it up on the table with the other. Pointing to the location of the map with a teaching whip, the people standing around him were all senior officers of the General Staff, and while he introduced, others were also seriously thinking about the problem.
"The analysis of the chief of the general staff is very correct, if the war cannot be ended quickly, it can only be held, and the offensive of the Landaks will continue, and we see from the telegram sent from Oshima that the Dutch seem to have the idea of withdrawing, and once the Dutch withdraw, it will be very dangerous for Blackwater." A staff officer expressed his opinion.
In fact, Blackwater does not intend to fight a protracted war in this war, because the cost is too great to continue, and it is a loss for the proportion of income, Blackwater is a mercenary company is good, but at the same time, it is necessary to consider whether the cost efficiency can be proportional to the benefit.
"If we don't increase our troops, according to Oshima's analysis, our early investment will be equivalent to a waste, once the Landaks settle the war in the north and devote themselves to the battle with Blackwater, you must have thought about it."
"Yes, the Landaks must not be allowed to devote all their forces to the war against Blackwater, so the troops of the Big Island will have to be withdrawn, so more troops are necessary."
The two staff officers expressed their views on the increase in troops, which shows that it is indeed necessary to increase the number of troops.
Although the increase in troops will increase the budget for investment, if you do not increase the number of troops, the investment in the early stage will be lost, so it is very necessary to increase the number of troops in comparison between the two.
At the same time, the Dutch can not be allowed to withdraw, once the Dutch withdraw, the number of enemies faced by Blackwater will also be doubled, and their presence can not only involve a part of the Landaks, but also carry out a certain blow to them.
In order to allow the Dutch to stay any longer, the General Staff Headquarters basically agreed to the Dutch's proposal to enter the camp in Blackwater, and also promised to give away some ammunition for the Dutch for free, but the other side had to agree to cooperate with the Blackwater joint attack.
Cooperate in combat, I'm afraid the Dutch are very willing, to be honest, since the Dutch have been attacked more and more frequently by the Landaks, they have thought about fighting with Blackwater, and the two sides have not only increased in number, but at the same time, their own side can also be protected by Blackwater's powerful firepower.
It's just that Blackwater didn't bring it up, and the Dutch didn't want to be too embarrassed, so they didn't bring it up, but since the number of attacks increased last night, Lieutenant Steve, the commander of the Dutch operation on this operation, already had such an idea. (To be continued......)
