"Guerrilla warfare?" Chavez didn't get too much of it.

The word guerrilla warfare is used in English or Spanish, and in fact, the word guerrilla warfare in English is the Spanish word for "small war."

But Ma Whistle was not talking about Xiao Zhan, but about "swimming attack tactics", and the translator also translated this complex word into Spanish word for word.

Fortunately, Ma Sentry also knew some Spanish now, and he understood Chavez's doubts, so he slowly explained: "It is a tactic that takes into account both wandering and attacking, and since you want to lead the inhabitants of various places to fight sporadically and continuously with the Americans, it is natural to use this method." ”

Chaves probably understood: "You're right. ”

He reminisced about it for a while, and couldn't help but nod his head again and again: "Swimming attack tactics, well, that's really an ingenious statement." ”

Ma Whistle smiled: "How many are you going to buy this time?" ”

"It's still two thousand." "I brought $50,000. ”

"I'm sorry, Chaves, it's wartime, so the price of the Browning pistol has increased." Ma Whistle said lightly.

Chavez frowned: "What is the price now?" ”

Whistle: "Fifty dollars, or silver dollars." ”

"Fifty dollars!" Chaves exclaimed, "That's doubled!" ”

"Yes." Ma Whistle nodded, "The last time I sold it to you, the war hadn't broken out yet. Now it's different, a lot of people rush to buy Browning pistols, so we have to raise prices - a market economy. ”

Chaves paused: "But...... But you've gone up too much. ”

"I know it's expensive, but it's not for me to decide." "Actually, I'd like to sell it cheaper, but as long as it's reduced to forty-eight dollars, I'll have to pay for it myself." Those stingy ...... Europeans, they don't even want to drop a copper plate! ”

"Can't it really be cheaper? Is forty dollars okay? "Chaves still wants to fight for it.

"Sorry, fifty dollars is already low for us." Ma Whistle was unmoved, "It's not some bargaining cliché, but we really can't go down any longer." If you don't want to buy it at this price, you can turn around and leave now. ”

"Okay." For the first time, young Chaves felt the financial embarrassment and sighed, "Then I'll buy a thousand." ”

He then handed over $50,000 in gold and silver to the Sentry, who sent a thousand Browning revolvers.

One dollar is now worth about 24 grams of silver, or 1.6 grams of gold, and $50,000 worth of gold and silver coins weigh dozens of kilograms.

A few tens of kilograms is naturally heavy, but if it is gold, it will not feel so heavy.

"Mr. Chaves, although we can't lower the price for you. But as a giveaway, I can give you some advice. "The horse whistle is smiling, and the shining fifty thousand dollars are in a good mood.

"What advice?" Chaves's mood was the opposite of that of the horse whistle, and two thousand pistols turned into a thousand, which made him feel depressed.

"The closer you get to the war, the more expensive the weapons become. Fifty dollars is a lot of money for you and me, but if you are on the battlefield, for such a good weapon, people will definitely be willing to give you all the gold coins hidden in their underwear. ”

"What do you mean...... Can I raise the price a little more and sell these weapons to soldiers? Chaves asked.

"It doesn't have to be a soldier, it can be a civilian." Ma Whistle said, "Aren't you going to mobilize the masses?" That being the case, Mexican residents in New Mexico and the entire Southwest are your targets. ”

Chavez didn't speak.

Ma Whistle added: "There is a second suggestion, about guerrilla warfare. I guess you probably don't have much experience with guerrilla warfare. ”

"That's right." Chaves didn't even have much experience with war.

"But I've got some points out of this tactic. You may wish to refer to it. Ma Whistle said.

He paused, then said slowly: "Swimming attack tactics, both swimming and attacking. Always swimming and not attacking is tantamount to running away, and always attacking without swimming flexibly is tantamount to fighting fiercely. ”

"More specifically, it is four sentences - I retreat when the enemy advances, I attack when the enemy is stationed, I attack when the enemy is tired, and I pursue when the enemy retreats."

In just four sentences, the essence of guerrilla warfare was exhausted, and Chavez couldn't help but think about it, and subconsciously repeated: "When the enemy advances, I retreat, and when the enemy is stationed, I attack and disturb ......."

The horse whistle patted him on the shoulder: "Tactics are also a weapon, even more lethal than the weapon in your hand." This weapon comes as a giveaway for a thousand pistols, and I hope you will be able to master it. ”

The few words he told Chavez were naturally derived from the guerrilla warfare mantra summed up by the People's Liberation Army in later generations.

However, there is always a gap between theory and practice, and the four sentences are deep and deep, and shallow and shallow, and some people can become guerrilla masters when they see it, and some people can see the same as if they didn't see it, depending on how much Chavez can master.

Ma Sentry believed that if the Mexican guerrillas were skilled in using guerrilla tactics, the Americans would certainly suffer a lot.

Chavez seemed to sense the subtlety of these words, first repeating them and then asking, "Who summed this up?" Sounds like the experience of a brilliant military strategist. ”

"It's just a little bit of what I realize." Ma Whistle said brazenly.

Chaves was a little surprised, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Great Chief Horse Whistle, I'm a little curious, how old are you this year?" ”

Ma Whistle smiled: "What do you think?" ”

Chavez looked at him carefully a few times, but shook his head: "I feel unsure, you may be in your twenties, but you seem to be very knowledgeable and experienced, even more like an elder than my uncle. ”

Ma Whistle said casually: "Why can't it be fifteen?" ”

"Fifteen? That's impossible. Chaves clearly didn't believe it.

Ma Whistle hesitated for half a second: "Well, I'm actually twenty-five years old. ”

Age was actually a question that bothered him a little, so he finally decided to add ten years old when he introduced himself in the future, which also saved the explanation.

Twenty-five years old was basically expected by Chaves, and he nodded: "You are younger than me. ”

The two talked for a moment, and suddenly Ma Whistle remembered something: "By the way, Chaves, do you still have silver coins?" ”

"There are some."

"I'd like to exchange gold for silver." "I forgot to tell you just now, almost all you gave me is gold. ”

Chaves exchanged a small portion of the fifty thousand dollars for silver coins and handed them back to the horse whistle, while he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What do you want so many silver coins for?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that it's easier to circulate in the tribe." Ma Whistle didn't explain much, and casually gave a reason.
