Chapter 280: The Power of Example (I)
In South Kalimantan, which is known as the Republic of Dai Yan, most of the large-scale indigenous population has been cleared by the military. And the rest of the natives are constantly running into the mountains, and letting the army enter on a large scale is not only costly, but also very unfavorable to the Taiwanese army. After all, once they reached the mountain, their advantage in firepower was much lower, and they could not use heavy artillery. And these armies are good at large-scale operations, and they are very unaccustomed to this kind of small-scale rainforest operations. And if the army is forcibly ordered to enter, I am afraid that it will not be worth the loss. If the army were to be forced to enter and clear the natives, not only would it be fruitless, but casualties would certainly increase. After all, firearms don't work best in the rainforest, and this is the home of the natives, who can fight with a wide variety of weapons. Even many poisonous snakes and beasts are enemies of the army, and such casualties are clearly not worth it.
So now Taiwan is going to open up these places and clean them up for those mercenaries. After all, these mercenaries are not usually good birds, and once they do evil, they are very good, but they are unwilling to produce honestly. Now they have all formed squads to clean up the natives, and then the captured goods and even the population can be sold as slaves. Who wouldn't want to do such a good business! So the thugs who were in the original prison formed a mercenary team one after another, and then came out.
"Tiger Boss, Lord Overseer, we have reached the front, according to the investigation of the mouse brothers, they have a tribe of five or six hundred people here, should we attack?" Someone asked.
And that boss. It looks very exciting, because in a tribe of five or six hundred people, even if a hundred people die in the battle and a hundred people run away, then the population of three or four hundred people can be regarded as their own gain. And then, there's a lot of good stuff to be gained. These populations alone. It's worth a lot of money. If you can get lucky and get some valuable items, I'm afraid it will make you a lot of money.
"What do you think, Lord Overseer?" The old tiger asked.
And this supervisor is a second lieutenant in the Taiwanese army, he is a student of the military academy, and he was assigned to serve as a "supervisor" in this mercenary squad. According to the results of the previous discussions, all those mercenary units must be sent by the Taiwan government to supervise them. And what kind of battle plan does this mercenary want. All of this is subject to the approval of the supervisory forces, and this is also to prevent those mercenary units from doing anything that is not in the interests of the Taiwan Government without authorization.
And the highest rank of these prison guards is the second lieutenant, and the lowest is the non-commissioned officer. Because according to Taiwan's regulations, each team of these mercenary groups can only have no more than 150 people, that is, the establishment of a company. As for the heads of the mercenary units, they themselves elect them, because the mercenary groups belong to civilian organizations and no foreign businessmen can directly invest in their appointments. And at the time of the election. It also has to go through the final review of the supervising army, and the supervising army is the object of the final examination. If the overseer is not examined, then the regimental commander cannot be appointed.
And after such layers of control, it is possible to firmly prevent these mercenary units from doing anything that is not in Taiwan's interests. After all, in the eyes of these Chinese, these mercenaries are actually some unstable elements, and if there is no strict supervision, it is impossible to perfectly control them in Taiwan's hands.
However, Wang Guorui is much more relieved, because Wang Guorui knows the truth that it is impossible to prevent it. Since ancient times, the kings of all dynasties have been very strict about the defense of armed forces. Even at the expense of self-defeating martial arts to guard against the army, one can imagine how tragic this is. And as a future generation, Wang Guorui certainly knows that even if you abolish your martial arts, it is not safe, after all, if you abolish your martial arts, foreign enemies will definitely come and invade you. And for those civilian armed forces, this is actually not very useful. If you rule, you can gain the hearts and minds of the people. Even if you open the ban on weapons, or even the ban on forming mercenaries, then you won't have any problems. After all, those mercenaries are also people, and after they have culture in the future, they will also know the truth of the country and the nation. If this government can win the hearts of those mercenaries and let them know that this government is the government that can make them develop steadily and make good money, they will also choose to support the government and will not follow a few careerists to carry out their ambitions.
And if your rule cannot win the hearts and minds of the vast majority of the people, then no matter how much you supervise those civil forces, no matter how much you can guard against the use of civil force, you will eventually be revolutionized by the uprising. Therefore, instead of spending this mind on preventing those civil organizations from being armed forces, it is better to spend our minds on how to govern the people and let the people live a better and better life. This is the right way, but those people in ancient times could not recognize this righteous way, and instead blindly guarded against those civilian armed forces.
Of course, it is still necessary to supervise the people, and if the civilian armed forces are stronger than the government, then there will definitely be ambitions without ambitions. Therefore, the scale must be limited, and it is impossible for them to expand casually. And send the prison army to supervise, so that they can put pressure on them and not breed too much ambition.
"If you want to fight, then you will fight. I'm not going to stop this! The lieutenant said.
And these officers who were sent to supervise the army, they were also students of some military academies, and they actually came here as a probationary. After these military cadets leave the military academy, they must have some internship opportunities, otherwise they will not be able to truly master the knowledge in the military academy. As for these mercenaries, in fact, it is the best place to test the actual battle. Although these cadets serve as superintendents, they will definitely have to participate in the battle at a certain time, and Taiwan has equipped each of them with a submachine gun, so that their lives can be guaranteed in time. And they have also learned a lot of experience in mercenary operations, and they also have the obligation to do their best to ensure the safety of the mercenary team, such as using the knowledge learned in the military academy to make mercenaries better combat, and they are also important staff officers of the mercenary group.
However, they can't interfere too much in the mercenaries' affairs. After all, they're only here to learn from experience, not really to manage these mercenaries. If they interfere too much in the affairs of these mercenaries, then the mercenary group has the right to complain against them, so that if they are investigated and verified, they will also be transferred.
"Okay, since Lord Overseer has agreed, then let's go and clean them up!" Captain Tiger shouted.
Soon, the entire mercenary team of more than a hundred people immediately began to accelerate and rushed to the big tribe to fight. At this time, those natives have not yet reacted, in their eyes, those Chinese troops do not dare to enter this tropical rainforest, once the Chinese army enters the tropical rainforest, the combat effectiveness of those armies is actually inferior to them. And the large army needs to transport a lot of materials, and at that time, those natives also went to hijack the logistics troops of the Taiwan army, and then all kinds of logistics materials were taken away by the natives. This is very unfavorable to the Taiwanese army, so the Taiwanese army has also begun to retreat. And the natives were celebrating their victory, as if they had defeated the Taiwanese army.
"Hahahaha, we defeated those Chinese, and we will soon be able to counterattack and regain our land!" The leader of the indigenous tribe shouted.
And immediately someone replied, "Yes! Those Chinese are completely vulnerable, and they are all running around under our blows, and there is no way to do anything to us. These Chinese are not our opponents at all. ”
These natives used the terrain to defeat the Chinese a few times, and then one by one they seemed to get carried away, as if it was the right thing to take back their land. Little did they know that small forces of mercenaries had penetrated deep into their lands and fought against them. And now these natives are still thinking about what to do to defeat Taiwan and then regain the land of the Spring and Autumn Dream! With their lazy natives, do they still want to be able to defeat China?
Although China relied on guerrilla warfare and a war of attrition to drag Japan to death, it was based on the fact that Japan had no resources and its population was not China's opponent. However, although Taiwan is only an isolated island now, there are many people on the mainland, all of whom are Chinese of the same language and race, and there are many mainland bureaucrats in Taiwan who are in the heart of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so the population of the Manchu Qing Dynasty can support Taiwan as immigrants. Taiwan's situation is not comparable to that of Japan later, so if they want to talk about delaying attrition, they are definitely not Taiwan's opponents. After all, Taiwan is not a country like Japan that has no resources and a relatively small population, and Taiwan, which has the resources of the mainland and the population of the mainland, is only tens of millions of indigenous people, so how can it be an opponent of China with a population of 400 million? What's more, they have no industry at all, and they are inferior to China during the anti-Japanese period. cultural literacy, and tens of millions of natives are unable to unite, compared to when China united to resist Japan, so their defeat has become inevitable.
