Charles's face also became ugly, and anger flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, waved his hand and motioned for Li Jingzhi to return to his seat, and continued to preside over the meeting quietly. Li Jingzhi changed seats and sat between Locke and Wang Fengshou.

Everyone saw the episode just now, and someone asked what was going on, and Charles said hatefully: "They really want to jump off the wall in a hurry!" The latest news, someone ran to the barracks of the Guard Front in the name of the Grand Alliance. ”

He already speaks the Eastern Chinese very well, and the idioms can be used.

Someone else chimed in: "Didn't they go, and they were pushed back by Colonel Konu." Don't say that the garrison ignores it, if you want to participate, you are also on our side. ”

Charles: "This time I didn't go to win over the garrison, I was going to do business as before, buy a batch of ammunition, and I also wanted to buy machine guns and mortars, but I found our people.

I have a plan to take advantage of the opportunity to ask for a high price. Don't think about machine guns and mortars, you can sell them a batch of bullets, but you have to do something, if they really dare to shoot, then it will be jammed or blown up, but don't blame us! ”

There are indeed a few mortars in the Afsogang barracks, but they are almost impossible to use, and it is not clear whether they can be used. If the training and equipment maintenance are not regular, this thing can easily cause casualties to one's own people, and the garrison of the non-Sogang has no formal training at all, and the equipment maintenance is also so-so.

There were also general-purpose machine guns in the barracks, and at the beginning of the year there were three armed jeeps. More than half a year ago, he was borrowed by Jin Datou and went to chase and kill Rochard with a machine gun, but it was damaged, and later an armed pickup truck was added to make up the number, and it was still a car sponsored by the New Alliance.

The so-called "Grand Alliance" is the name of the remnants of the gang of gang forces united, corresponding to the new alliance, which somewhat plagiarizes the meaning of creativity, and at the same time emboldens himself, thinking that in this way he can wrestle with the new alliance.

They sent people to the barracks to buy arms, how did they get in touch with the people of the new alliance? Because the garrison of the Defending Front in Filso has long been infiltrated like a sieve by the new alliance.

If it weren't for the fact that the new alliance still needed the nominal existence of this army, this military camp would probably no longer be able to sustain itself, and it would have been absorbed by the new alliance at the first order.

The government of the country recognizes the military rank of Colonel Konu and confers official titles on them, but it does not care about the establishment of the grass-roots army and does not provide military funds, and it is up to the armed groups to find the local authorities to settle the matter on their own in the territory under their control.

What kind of weird way of managing this? But it is not surprising that it happened in the country of several miles, and any absurd situation can arise, and the Guard Front is an armed separatist force.

The Guard Front is the largest armed group in the northern part of the country, controlling two cities or two states, and its nest is not in the port of Feso, but in the city of Banda, south of the port of Fesso.

The garrison of the Defending Front in Filso Harbor was numbered 500 men, and the militants in the city of Banda numbered more than 1,000. The southern part of the city of Banda, which borders the territory controlled by other armed forces in the country, is the key direction of the defensive front, and there are various frictions from time to time.

But the 500 garrisons here in the port of Feso are actually of little significance, is it to guard against lions on the grassland? This is mainly a declaration of existence, indicating that this is my sphere of influence, and that the local authorities in Afro-Soso also provide me with services.

The characteristics of the local separatist forces themselves determine that as long as the conditions are right, a small secession state will also form within them. The military camp in Fensogang is far from the city of Banda, and the transportation is also very inconvenient, so it is basically self-managed, and if it needs to fight on a large scale, it may be called up and mobilized.

But the Defending Front would hardly do that, fearing that if there were no garrisons here, other local forces would rise up to take their place, and that they would have to regain their territory.

In short, from the perspective of a normal country and a modern army, such a way of military organization and management is too unreasonable, but this is the case. Since the establishment of the Kling District, the local garrison has been losing soldiers.

The so-called churn is to run back and stop doing it, some say hello, and some don't even say hello. Under normal circumstances, this is considered a deserter, and it is to be court-martialed, but here there is no one to pursue it.

Colonel Konu turned a blind eye and didn't bother to care, and there was a tacit understanding between him and the new alliance.

The armed men recruited in the barracks are also locals, who come here to serve as soldiers just to make ends meet, and some are even forced. There are only two standards for the logistics support of the barracks: people will not starve to death, and guns can be fired.

Ordinary soldiers were often beaten, scolded, oppressed, and driven by their superiors, and lived like slaves. This is not a joke, the situation of all the armed forces in the country is roughly like this, and no one seems to think that there is anything abnormal.

Such an armed force has no mental outlook or military quality at all, and no one knows what they are fighting for when they clash with other armed forces, anyway, it is similar to a gangster fight.

However, since the establishment of the Klin District in the port of Africa, the soldiers who were originally born in the Klin District gradually did not want to stay here, preferring to run back to the Klin District to earn a living. At the same time, the warmth campaign launched by the new alliance was also sent to the barracks.

It is not only daily necessities and cooking classes that send warmth, but also various cultural and recreational activities, accompanied by various policy publicity. Some of the soldiers, even if they weren't from the Klin District, didn't want to stay in the barracks, and they all preferred to join the patrols formed by the new alliance.

At the beginning of this year, there were still about 500 armed personnel in the garrison, which was almost equivalent to a battalion, and by the end of the year, there was probably only one company left. But this is good for high-ranking officers such as Colonel Konu, because the funds given by the local authorities have not decreased, and the cost of raising soldiers is of course less when there are fewer people, and it costs money to raise soldiers.

Colonel Konu was only worried about one problem, the barracks had almost become an empty shell, and if the superior officers of the Guarding Front came here to "inspect", how would they deal with it? Although it is relatively independent, the leadership of the Guard Front still has a routine inspection every spring, which they also call a review.

Charles patted his chest and assured his cousin that it was not a problem at all! When the time comes, just pull the new alliance patrol over, and the people who are drawn are all locals, who can tell the difference? Make sure that the soldiers are strong and strong, so that my cousin can just live a comfortable life with confidence.

The barracks was an empty shelf, but why did the New Alliance keep it? On the one hand, the African port is immersed in development, and its internal problems have not yet been completely resolved, so it does not want to attract the intervention of external forces at this time.

On the other hand, it is, after all, a "regular" army officially recognized by the country of several miles, and has the authority to purchase arms independently. During this time, the new coalition purchased a lot of equipment in the name of local garrisons.

Buying guns and ammunition through black market arms dealers only makes sense for gangsters and is of little use to regular armies. The new alliance is building a patrol team according to the standard of the Dongguo all-training field army, although it cannot fully meet the requirements, but at least it is building the army according to this goal, and what is needed is the same system of standard equipment and unified logistics support and training support.

The "big coalition" ran to the barracks to buy arms, which was tantamount to hitting the hands of the new coalition. Machine guns and mortars were left alone, and Charles took the opportunity to sell them a batch of problematic ammunition at a high price.

As for how to make the ammunition problematic, this can let the R&D department find a way, and if it really doesn't work, ask Mo Lao to do technical guidance. This is not really the latest news, Charles knew about it yesterday and has already made arrangements.

But someone asked what was going on just now, and Charles used the question to play a cover, and did not tell the truth. Now that he has become the mayor of Filso Harbor City and a senior official of the League, he is indeed very calm, and he can calm down and continue to preside over the meeting when he learns that there may be a master who wants to assassinate him.

Although he was calm on the surface, Charles was very nervous in his heart, and he thought of many things and possibilities. For example, a few months ago, in order to dissuade the locals from making trouble, he once directed and acted in a good scene of assassination at the gate of the agricultural reclamation area.

Last time it was fake, but now retribution has come, and someone really wants to assassinate him...... In fact, it's not just Gu Wentong who wants to kill Charles, and the big league wants his life now, right? If Gu Wentong wanted to assassinate Charles, he might have planned to frame it for the big leagues.

Without mentioning Charles' inner drama, the meeting continues. Locke and Li Jingzhi whispered a little, and spoke at this moment: "Everyone knows that this matter is funny, the so-called big alliance has taken the wrong medicine, thinking that it can confront the new alliance, and thinking that there is hope for an agreement to divide the territory."

But why did they take the wrong medicine? What causes them to make the wrong judgment? That is, the new coalition has only shown strength all along, and has not resorted to really tough means of repression.

That's why they have the illusion that the new alliance doesn't want casualties and can't afford to lose them. So they think that as long as they can unite and show their strength, let us see that if they suppress them, they will also pay a price, and they can achieve their goals.

So the first thing we have to make sure of is to tell them not to have illusions, the new alliance will never agree to this condition, and it will liberate the whole of Africa at any cost. In the past, repressive measures were not taken, only because it was unnecessary, not because it could not, and not because it was not because it was not daring. ”

Shen Sishu said: "Then we must also try to avoid casualties of the patrol, and try to avoid losses, including our losses, and also the damage caused to that side, after all, we still have to operate the turf when it is brought down." ”

Li Jingzhi: "Of course! Training and exercises in peacetime are aimed at avoiding casualties and losses in wartime. However, when raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, the army itself must have the spirit of seeking war. ”

Locke added: "If casualties are unavoidable, we must not only do a good job of bereavement work, but also do a good job of publicity and commendation. Let everyone know what they are fighting for, for their homeland, for a good new life.

Since its establishment, the patrol has not yet carried out a combat mission of real significance, and through this operation, a group of heroic figures can be commended and defined, so that everyone can be inspired and cultivate a sense of honor and responsibility. ”

From the time the Kling District was created to now control roughly two-thirds of the port of Africa, the patrol suffered few casualties.

For most of the year, not only did the patrol itself suffer no casualties, but in fact it did not forcibly suppress anyone, and the conflicts were almost always resolved in a non-combat manner. It also inevitably creates the illusion that the old recalcitrant forces will not be ruthless and unwilling to face fierce clashes that could lead to casualties.

Before the establishment of the Kelin District, Hua Zhenxing dealt with the two largest local criminal groups, Civilization Trade and Beiwan Freight, but Wang Fengshou used a poisonous plan to plant explosives and send away more than 300 armed elements at one time.

However, the battle was not involving the patrol, and the patrol was only responsible for guarding the perimeter at that time, including the Golden Gang's brigade, which was solved by Manman with gold. But everyone here also knows very well that things cannot be expected to go so smoothly forever.

At this time, Charles asked, "Mr. Li, how long can the patrol team solve the battle?" ”

Li Jingzhi: "I made all kinds of deductions based on the available information, and it took half an hour at most. ”

Half an hour to solve the battle? Li Jingzhi is not exaggerating at all, because they are facing either a regular army or a rabble.

To cite a small detail, the gangsters do not have the concept of ammunition base and battlefield logistics support system, let alone the targeted organization and drill in this regard.

According to the standard model of gangster conflicts, once the battle has begun, all they can use is the bullets they carry. Even if the intensity of the battle is not too high, I am afraid it will not be enough to fight for ten minutes.

Li Jingzhi said that half an hour is to include the time of the battlefield advance, and it happened in the block, and there is no depth. The regular army fights gangsters is this kind of crushing situation, even the gangsters who are awesome on weekdays are scumbags.

Everyone present knows this result, and strategic contempt is inevitable, but attention must be paid to tactical details, and today's main discussion is the work arrangements before and after the war.

Charles: "A lot of the people in the area want these people to die sooner, which is good for us, and the intelligence gathering is going well. We must now pay attention to propaganda work, and Mr. Li's remark of 'surrendering guns and not killing' is very good, simple and easy to understand, and you can understand it as soon as you hear it.

Be sure to let everyone on the other side know this sentence before the war, so that they feel that they can't fight and surrender their guns, so that the fight will be easier and the casualties and losses will be reduced. ”

Wang Fengshou, who had not spoken, finally spoke: "Let the patrol enter the combat position, continue to expand the territory and exert pressure, until the opponent's limit is pressed...... Normally we can't bring these people together to solve the problem, but now they provide their own opportunities. ”

After some discussion of the work arrangements after the battle, the meeting was adjourned. Li Jingzhi, Shen Sishu, Locke, and Wang Fengshou stayed, and only then did Xia Er wipe the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and look at everyone with a helping eye.
