Chapter XVIII: A Dangerous Mission

"Boss ~ Chief of Staff ~ Big things are not good ~" Ronaldo's assistant ran into his bedroom in a panic.

"What's wrong? Panicked, is the sky falling? ”

This kid's name is Santos Pelos, one of the thirty-six elders of Sandinista and a famous figure in history, he successfully escaped when Sandinista was assassinated and established the Sandinista in a neighboring country, and it was this Sandinista that returned fifty years later to overthrow the tyranny of Somoza and is known as the successor of Sandinista will.

Of course, at this time, Pelos was only a 16-year-old child, and Ronaldo deliberately wanted to come to his side to be his deputy.

"We can't go to Honduras, we can't buy anything from Honduras anymore."

"Why?"

"I have received information from the caravans that the entire army of Honduras is on the border, and is ready to invade our territory, nay, I should say that some of them are already stationed on our territory. No trade between the two countries can be done at the moment. ”

Ronaldo's face changed slightly when he heard this, and after a while, he couldn't help but scold: "This son of a bitch's Honduran comprador government really treats himself as a lackey." ”

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What is the reaction of our government to this?" ”

"What else can you do? Thanks to the friendly forces of neighboring countries for helping them to suppress bandits. ”

"Fuck, they're all pretty dogs!"

But I really didn't expect the Honduran government to be a licking dog to do this, and the U.S. military itself only dispatched marines in this matter, but they pressed the whole army to the border first? Lao Tzu is anti-American in Nicaragua and has a chicken feather relationship with you Honduras?

(This is a historical fact, which shows the strong control of the beautiful countries over the Central American countries in that era)

Not to mention that the beautiful country will not really support the invasion and annexation of Nicaraguan territory by the Honduran army, obviously, the beautiful country also knows that their rebel army is concentrated in the northern region, so their original plan to buy daily necessities in Honduras will not be all in vain?

They can dig up dozens of kilograms of gold every day, but if they can't consume it, can they eat it or drink it? Is there a chicken feather for just having money?

Of course, this matter had to be called to the Sandinista for a meeting, at which everyone was at a loss, and the gold in his hand immediately became unfragrant.

Aisha, who is the chief of finance, said: "We now lack everything, we lack building materials to build houses, we lack medicine to treat injuries and diseases, we lack mules to use as means of transportation, and even food rations may not last for more than a month, if the beautiful country finds us and goes to war with us, even if there are bullets, it will be difficult for us to hold on for more than three months, we will starve to death." But we have money, and now we are rich. ”

In the conference room, the atmosphere was particularly oppressive and heavy, and Sandinista couldn't help but ask, "What about the cassava we grow?" ”

"You can't just blow it up, and besides, those cassavas probably won't be able to be eaten by so many of us."

Someone proposed: "Can we get other guerrillas to transport food for us?" ”

Ronaldo objected: "The task of the headquarters should be to provide logistics for other troops, as well as to provide all kinds of support and command, and not to ask them to buy food to support us, so what is the point of us having a fixed headquarters?" Moreover, they are now directly engaged with the US military, and at this time, there is a risk of premature exposure to us by sending us food on a large scale. ”

After a pause, seeing that everyone didn't speak, Ronaldo said: "I don't think there is any other way, I propose to form two special teams, the first one, to find a way to find the weak point of the Honduran defense line, I don't believe that they can block the border so long, those smugglers must be able to think of tricks, we can find a way to establish a cooperative relationship with them, if necessary, I suggest that we ask for help from like-minded partners in Mexico." We have the money and can pay a hefty premium. ”

"But this team is far from quenching its thirst, and it will be difficult to establish a safe trade route with Honduras, or even Mexico, without three or five months."

"But the U.S. military may find us at any time, and war may come at any time, for the sake of absolute security, I suggest that a second team be formed to buy the food and daily necessities we need in nearby cities."

Sandinista couldn't help frowning and said: "Large-scale procurement in the country, we will definitely be discovered by the US military." ”

"If you find it, you will find it, sooner or later, we chose this place as a fixed stronghold, just to confront them, and we have long been ready to be discovered, the key question is whether we can send things back before the US military encircles here."

When everyone heard this, they all nodded, and what Ronaldo said was indeed very reasonable.

"What are your plans?"

'The first team, I suggest Pelos is in charge, he's a very clever lad and I'm sure he can get things done.

"As for the second way, I want to go myself."

"No! It's too dangerous, and you are vital to our cause, and we can't afford to miss it. ”

Ronaldo argued: "If we can't get enough supplies before the U.S. Army finds us and attacks us, even if I have the ability to copy bullets and gunpowder, we will never be able to fill our stomachs with bullets." ”

"This purchase is undoubtedly crucial for us, and I, without a doubt, am the most likely person to complete this mission, I am the strongest in our team, there is no doubt about that, so I think this task must be entrusted to me."

Sandinista looked at him hesitantly and said, "Are you sure?" ”

"There is no 100 percent certainty of war, but I think it shouldn't be a big problem."

"How many people are you going to take?"

"It's not too expensive, thirty people."

"Okay, I'm going to pick thirty of the best elites to join you, do you have a plan? The supplies we need are not small, where are you going to procure these things? ”

"If you want to buy enough supplies in a short period of time, there's only one place nearby: Puerto Cabezas!"
