Nick. Zieland and James. Lieutenant General Reilly sees Cassel again. Shabi's report of the near-annihilation of the army almost made him dare not believe his eyes, because from the ground radar stations in Kenya, Burundi and other countries, there was no sign of the dispatch of the unmanned J-7 fighters of the Tanzanian Air Force and the People's Liberation Army. Shabi carried out the bombing.

"Nick, what now?" Lieutenant General Reilly's cheek twitched before turning to Nick. Zieland said, but he didn't blame Nick. Zieland means, because this thing is so weird, Cassel. Shabi's howitzer battalion was destroyed by a mysterious bomb that fell from the sky. Even the U.S. troops were placed in Kasso. The eyeliner in Shabi's troops did not find the slightest clue at all. The only thing that is certain is that heavy precision-guided bombs were used in this attack to leave a staggering giant crater on the positions of the howitzer battalion.

"General," Nick. Ziland smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that we completely miscalculated this time, I don't know what kind of means the Chinese used, they were able to drop this heavy bomb unknowingly, but unfortunately we couldn't find any clues at all, judging from the evidence left at the scene, Cassel. Shabi was hit by hundreds of kilograms of heavy bombs, which were not at all carried by any of the older Tanzanian warplanes, and according to our intelligence, the Tanzans had not procured any precision-guided bombs weighing more than 250 kilograms. Similarly, there are no such bombs in the equipment of the 86th Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the People's Liberation Army. ”

James. Of course, Lieutenant General Reilly knew this information, and it was precisely because of this that the US troops, which were originally ready to go, could not find an excuse to go to war at all, and for Lieutenant General Reilly, it was as uncomfortable as punching hard but hitting the air.

"Nick, I know the situation, the question now is what to do next? It's rare that we just watch the Chinese support card. Kurtu is a stupid man, and after these two great wars, the strength of this little warlord has increased a lot, and without strong means, we basically have no way to control his growth. Lieutenant General Reilly said with some frustration, although this matter is being led by the CIA, but as the first commander of the front, things are done like this, Lieutenant General Reilly is already discouraged, if there is no way to save this situation, it will obviously be regarded as incompetent from above, and his military career will end here.

"It's really not going to work, I think the only way to do this is to involve the regular armies of Rwanda and Uganda, and to send Uganda's air force to get stuck in the country. The little warlord Kurtu is gone. "Nick. Ziland said after thinking for a long time. It's just that in this way, the price that the US military has to pay is great, and it is obviously impossible to drive those African natives to do things without a suitable price.

In other words, without tens of millions of dollars in economic or military aid, don't want to let these natives do it. However, for the CIA, they can afford the money, and the CIA, which has a secret budget of at least hundreds of millions of dollars a year, is more than capable of buying these indigenous Africans.

"Okay, I think we have to hurry up and act, this time the matter is too weird, it seems that we still don't know enough about the PLA, if they wait for them to gain a foothold in Africa, it will be even more difficult to deal with." Lieutenant General Reilly said, and he was waiting for Nick. Zieland's words, because his African Command can't come up with money to buy these African natives, but can only wield a stick, but for the U.S. military, the strength invested in Africa is also very limited, and a mechanized infantry division of more than 20,000 people can't control the huge African continent at all, and many times it has to rely on the African natives to get things done, so Lieutenant General Reilly can't always wield the stick.

One after another against the cards. The operation in Kurtu not only gave the command of the 86th Mechanized Infantry Brigade in Tanzania a great sense of crisis, but on the one hand, they accelerated the armed truck. On the one hand, Kurtu has also sent a large number of advisers to improve the combat effectiveness of the two newly equipped infantry brigades of the Tanzanians, and to cooperate with them to master a series of modern equipment of the People's Liberation Army as soon as possible, and the use of new combat vehicles, tanks and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is a great challenge for Tanzanian soldiers and officers at all levels.

In order to make the two new infantry brigades form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, the Tanzanian military will draw out outstanding domestic officers to strengthen, and Colonel Lazaro is one of the few senior officers in Tanzania who actually understands the modern military equipment of the People's Liberation Army because of the cooperation with the Chinese 164 Marine Brigade and the 86 th Infantry Brigade. Therefore, he was transferred to the commander of the 1st Brigade of the Tanzanian Infantry Brigade.

Although this position is the same as his current rank as the local military governor of Mpanda, the room for improvement is completely different, and if Colonel Lazaro can lead the 1st Tanzanian Infantry Brigade to successfully complete the modernization and reorganization, it is almost equivalent to making a major military achievement, and in time, it will inevitably enter the core of the Tanzanian military.

Although the resignation of Colonel Lazaro will give the PLA a card in Mpanda. Kurtu's military support has had some negative effects, and the new local military governor of Tanzania may not be as eloquent as Colonel Lazaro, and it will take time to get used to cooperation and secrecy.

But before leaving, Colonel Lazaro planted himself on the other side of the bank. Laijit and his subordinate network confessed to Lieutenant Colonel Cai Zhongxiao of the People's Liberation Army. Laijit is experienced and has the same card. Kurtu is now close, and Chua Chung Siu can completely bypass the new local military governor of Mpanda, Tongka. Kurtu is in direct contact, but it is more troublesome in terms of large-scale arms support transactions, etc.

Fortunately, the upper echelons of the Tanzanian military are still in the honeymoon period of cooperation with the PLA, and the old equipment of the two infantry brigades that have been replaced has been bought by the PLA at a discount. Kurtu, the frequent threat from the north, made both the front command of the 86th Mechanized Infantry Brigade and the General Staff feel stuck. Kurtu's strength is now too weak and the General Staff has drawn up a card. The Kurtu armed forces have been expanded to about 10,000 people in three brigades.

At this scale, coupled with the fact that the armament is close to the level of the regular army of Tanzania, Ka. These 3 brigades of Kurtu were in Tulumba, Kaso. There is no problem at all with an attack of this intensity by Shabi, but the strategic intentions of the General Staff are not only that, they want to be stuck . Kurtu was able to rely on this elite force to take over the entire Katanga region and the six provinces of the Kivu region, becoming the hegemon of the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Ruatu's ascension laid a solid military foundation.

In this way, no matter what intentions the US military has in the DRC, it must first cross the card. At the threshold of the Kurtu armed group, there are more than 10,000 troops worthy of a war, and in the case of the US military not doing it himself, even if it is faced with the same number of government troops in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or government troops from Rwanda, Burundi and other countries, Ka. Kurtu is no longer a small powerhouse who runs away from the wind.

A large amount of weapons and equipment were secretly transported from the opposite bank. For Kurtu, of course, it was a great joy, in the troubled place of the eastern DRC, he did not worry about finding anyone, and after receiving the full equipment of 2 brigades and millions of dollars in secret aid, Ka. Kurtu quickly pulled up the shelves of 3 brigades, and this time from the decommissioned artillery of the military of the two modified brigades in Tanzania, the General Staff was Ka. Kurtu has prepared two battalions of 105-mm portable howitzer battalions, 48 105-mm howitzers towed by pickup trucks, maneuverable, and flexible for Ka. The mountainous terrain of eastern DRC, where Kurtu is primarily active, is a fitting fit.

By Cassel. Shabi 105mm howitzers bombarded so much that they almost couldn't find the card in the north. Kurtu, who was overjoyed when he saw these cannons, drew the most intelligent soldiers from the army to form these two howitzer battalions, and then trained day and night under the guidance of PLA military advisers. Kurtu's men formed a heavy circle of fire with mortars and howitzers that could cover a range of 15 kilometres, which was already the standard for elite government forces in the fight against local warlords in the DRC.

What's more, in order to give this army a rudimentary air defense capability, the General Staff is also a card. The three brigades in Kurtu are each equipped with three FN-16 portable anti-aircraft missile batteries, which are PLA brigade-level air defenses, which are sufficient for a possible helicopter gunship attack in the DRC or for older second-generation fighters.

When the card. The news of Kurtu's massive military expansion reached the U.S. African Command, prompting Nick to expand his military force. Lieutenant General Zieland and Reilly have accelerated their progress, and they have frequently visited dignitaries in Rwanda and Uganda, bribing or promising military and economic assistance, asking them to send troops as soon as possible to help the armed forces of the Congolese People's Liberation Army, which is almost untenable in Kivu province.

After a series of bargains, Rwanda and Uganda finally decided to send an infantry brigade each to infiltrate Kivu province to help the FPU forces eliminate the Congolese pour la défense du peuple (RCDP). In order to ensure that the adversary Kurtu occupies the Katanga region, the Ugandan air force is also ready to provide air support for joint military operations.

They have the most advanced F-16C/D fighter jets in the region, and despite the heavy losses suffered by the RCDP armed forces, they are stuck. Kurtu has nothing to fear, but it's just a clown. Now, just wait for the Americans' bills to get their hands and you can act.
