In addition to camouflage uniforms and weapons and equipment, there is actually another very important piece of equipment, that is, military boots.

Because, the roads in the hot and humid environment of the Amazon jungle are very muddy, and if you want to fight in the jungle, it is really important to have a good pair of military boots.

You must know that if you don't have a good pair of boots for a long march in the jungle, you can make people's feet useless.

Judging from the information that Fang Lang has now, no country has a professional jungle combat boot.

In later generations, Fang Lang liked to wear Martin boots the most, and he also had a certain understanding of various combat boots in later generations. At least in his opinion, it shouldn't be difficult to design a professional jungle combat boot.

If the manufacturing is successful, maybe it will be able to do business with the Americans, after all, the Americans suffered a lot in the process of the Vietnam War.

What Fang Lang knows best is that the Vietnamese like to set up bamboo stick traps in the jungle, and after the American GIs step on them, they basically lose their ability to move, and it was not until after suffering countless losses that the Americans began to design special jungle combat boots with steel plates on the soles of their feet.

And now his marines, when they go ashore from the sea, their shoes will be filled with two boots of seawater, which is very inconvenient to move.

This is because the shoes do not have drainage holes, according to the experience brought by Fang Lang in later generations, later military boots will set up two drainage holes in the internal test of the shoes to drain the water in the shoes.

In order to prevent sand and gravel from entering the shoes through the drainage holes, a strainer is also installed on the drainage holes.

In addition to the above, a pair of real jungle combat boots also has to solve a very important problem, that is, the problem of mud on the soles, because once the soles are stuck to the mud, it will increase the weight of the shoes, which is an absolute disaster for long marches.

This problem troubled the armies of various countries for a long time, until the appearance of a kind of Panama soles, which solved the problem.

When the Panama sole is not worn, only the edge of the ground is suspended in the center of the sole, and the mud is not easy to stick to the sole, which greatly increases the comfort of the shoe in the mud of the jungle.

Once you know these basics, it's easy to make a pair of professional jungle boots. As one of the main rubber producing regions, Brazil's production costs will be lower than in other regions.

In addition, if these manufacturing technologies are patented, it may be a big business to become one of NATO's equipment suppliers just by relying on such military boot manufacturing technology.

More importantly, with these specialized jungle warfare equipment, the combat effectiveness of the troops under his command will be greatly improved.

Coupled with rigorous training, the study of appropriate tactics, and after a long period of actual combat, perhaps the Navy Special Tactics Research Group under his command will be able to become the best jungle warfare special forces in the world.

Thinking of this, Fang Lang couldn't help but get excited.

After everyone laughed, Fang Lang spoke again:

"I am not optimistic about this encirclement and suppression operation, the Eddie brothers obviously know the movements of the border guards, and we are not clear about the situation of this anti-government army, this one-way transparent battlefield situation will make them very passive.

Sirio, you have to find a way for our intelligence officers to find out the details of the enemy, how many people are on the other side, who are the main leaders, what the weapons and equipment are, and where the nest is, all these situations must be investigated.

We can't rush into battle like the border guards did this time, and if we don't do it well, we will have to make a big mistake. ”

Hearing this, Sirio Leitch nodded and said:

"We sent people to Bietnkot to infiltrate, but before we could reach our destination, war broke out. They were stranded in the mangua.

This time the Eddie brothers made a surprise attack on Manguari, and we also confirmed the news through their radio.

If Brother Eddie is able to recruit soldiers in Mangua this time, our people will have a chance to infiltrate.

I think we'll soon be able to get information on the Eddie brothers' rebels. ”

Hearing this, Fang Lang nodded with satisfaction:

"That's good, as long as we have accurate information about the enemy, it will be much easier to destroy the enemy.

Let the brothers who infiltrate it pay attention to safety, and do not contact frequently unless necessary, so as to avoid the risk of exposure. ”

"Rest assured, sir, they are professionally trained professional agents and will not be easily spotted as abnormal."

Sirio Leitch is very confident in this.

Fang Lang frowned unconsciously when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, after all, there is no harm in his subordinates being confident, it's better than having low self-esteem!

Nodding, he said to Dr Atore again:

"We don't need to fight yet, but if the war is unfavorable and drags on for too long, I will also ask Marshal Moraes to fight, after all, this is a rare opportunity for jungle warfare.

Therefore, the training of the Marine Corps should be accelerated, and the recruitment of Amazon jungle hunters should be accelerated. Strive to complete the training of personnel as soon as possible, so that our personnel can be on top at any time. ”

De la Torre stood up solemnly and saluted:

"Yes, boss! I'll start doing what you want as soon as I get back. Strive to equip our Marines with the ability to fight in the jungle in the shortest possible time. ”

"I will apply to the Department of Defense to build a dedicated jungle warfare training base for Marines in the Amazon jungle.

When the time comes, send the Marines to the real Amazon jungle to get used to real jungle life.

So, you need to hurry up and recruit good jungle hunters. ”

Fang Lang's idea has existed for a long time, and when he first established the military contracting company, he was already thinking about where to build a jungle warfare training camp.

His target was given to him by Marshal Moraes in the vicinity of the bauxite mine in Orishmina, in the state of Pará.

Placing the training base here not only allows soldiers to enter the Amazon jungle and receive a real Amazon jungle baptism, but also allows soldiers to not protect the safety of bauxite.

After all, there is an army training base nearby, and no one should dare to destroy it without a long eye!

In addition, the base is placed nearby to reduce the logistical pressure, you must know that there are many people in a mine, and the place where there are people can naturally develop quickly, and many daily necessities can be purchased locally.

"Yes, boss! We are already recruiting experienced jungle hunters from our tribes in the Amazon jungle.

The main reason is that there are many people who are unable to communicate in the language, so we need to screen further. ”

Fang Lang nodded when he heard this, he knew that in the depths of the Amazon jungle, there were still many tribes living in a completely primitive state, and even some tribes were cannibals, and they had very little communication with the outside world, so it was normal for there to be a language barrier.

"Very well, you have to hurry.

In addition, this tactical thinking of the Eddie brothers this time is very valuable for research, this is a typical guerrilla warfare idea, which shows that there are capable people in the other side's ranks, and I hope you can organize the people in your staff to study this new way of thinking. ”

De la Torre obviously heard the concept of guerrilla warfare for the first time, and looked at Fang Langdao with some confusion:

"Guerrilla warfare? What kind of tactic is this? Why don't I seem to have heard of it? ”

Fang Lang smiled and said with a little pride:

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, this is a tactical idea put forward by a great man in my hometown that can defeat the strong with the weak, and now in the war in my hometown, many generals have used this tactic perfectly.

This gentleman summed up guerrilla tactics in 16 words. [The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase].

If you look at the Eddie brothers' initiative to abandon the town of Bittencott this time, does it mean that if we advance and retreat, he will retreat? It also occupied the logistics base of the border guards, and while replenishing the supplies, it will also eliminate the remaining troops of the border guards.

Although, I don't know what the strength of the Eddie brothers is now, but if they are allowed to repeat this a few times, the small amount will add up, and the border guards will be slowly eaten away by them. ”

As a soldier from the navy, although de la Torre had little combat experience in the army, with the current status promotion, the position has also become chief of staff, forcing him to start learning some strategies and tactics.

Hearing Fang Lang's casual guerrilla warfare mantra, he didn't understand it at first, but after Fang Lang compared the actions of the Eddie brothers' rebels to abandon the town of Bittenkot, he immediately understood the subtlety of this tactic.

After thinking carefully for a while, he said:

"It's a genius tactic, and it's best suited to outmaneuvering the strong.

Fortunately, the Eddie brothers' men will only scratch the surface and use the strategy of the enemy advancing and retreating, but they will not follow up the tactics, otherwise this regiment of the border guards will be dangerous this time. ”

Fang Lang didn't expect that de la Torre would be able to understand so quickly, the guerrilla tactics he was talking about, it seems that he has made rapid progress after serving as the chief of staff!

Smiled and nodded:

"Now this guerrilla tactic is not spreading, and it is remarkable that anyone in the ranks of the Eddie brothers' rebels can think of this tactic.

You must know that in the nearly 5,000-year history of my hometown, wars have almost never stopped, so many tactical ideas have been formed, and there are also many tactics and tactics.

This guerrilla warfare is only one of them, and there are many others, such as "The Art of War", "Thirty-six Strategies", "Wei Xuanzi", "Liutao" and so on.

If there really is a person in the guerrilla team who has studied the art of war in my hometown, then this team will not be easy to deal with. ”

De La Torre, who was working hard to improve himself, didn't pay attention to anything else, but after hearing the series of military books that Fang Lang said, he began to look at Fang Lang with an eager face:

"Boss, where are all these military books you mentioned! Can I learn? ”

Even Sirio Reich, who was standing aside, couldn't help but speak:

"Boss, I want to learn too!"

Seeing this situation, Fang Lang smiled slightly, and began to carry his private goods with a little embarrassment:

"It's not easy to learn these military books, you have to learn Chinese first, because many of these military arts existed thousands of years ago, and people at that time often described things very succinctly.

Many of the strategies in the 36 strategies are an idiom that expresses a strategy.

For example, we use a lot of tactics to divert the tiger from the mountain, but after you hear this idiom, you don't understand the Chinese language and culture, and you can't understand it at all, and this is actually a strategy.

Therefore, if you want to learn these tactics, you must have a rich background in Han culture. Otherwise, there are a lot of things you can't understand at all. ”

Obviously, Fang Lang is taking the opportunity to expand the influence of Han culture, so that his subordinates can recognize Chinese culture.

For de la Torre, this advanced art of war, strategy and tactics is exactly what he urgently needs to learn.

So, no matter how difficult it was, he was desperate to learn.

Therefore, without hesitation, he asked:

"Boss, where am I supposed to learn this?"

Seeing that De La Torre was resolute and really determined to learn this knowledge, of course Fang Lang would not stop him, after all, this was his chief of staff, and the more knowledge the other party mastered about the art of war, the more helpful it would be for him.

After bowing his head and thinking about it, he said:

"In terms of Han culture, maybe I can invest in building a school in Natal. After all, there are also many Chinese in Natal now, and these people also have children who need to go to school, and when the time comes, there will be a Chinese language training class for adults in it.

If you want to learn Chinese, you can study it at this school.

Alternatively, you can also find some tutors from the Chinese outside to teach you individually. ”

When he heard that Fang Lang was going to build a school in Natal because they wanted to learn Chinese, this made De La Torre a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said:

"The investment in building a school is so great that it is a waste to set up a school for our little idea. I think I'd better hire a Chinese tutor myself!

The cost of this is relatively low. ”

Fang Lang glared at the other party angrily and said:

"What do you think! Do you feel like this school was built for you alone?

Don't forget, there are a lot of Chinese immigrants in Natal today, and it was supposed to build a Chinese school for them.

If you want to learn, the most you can do is to set up an adult training course in the school. ”

De La Torre touched his nose embarrassedly, understanding what Fang Lang meant, this school was not built for them alone, then he felt that it didn't matter.

He even sends his children to this school to study now, so that he can be exposed to the Chinese language and culture earlier than himself.

Sirio Leitch on the side was a little entangled, he didn't expect that if he wanted to learn the art of war, he also had to learn Han culture, which was too complicated for him. After all, in his opinion, he is just an intelligence officer, he does not need to lead troops to fight, and he does not need to master much of the art of war.

So, just be ready to give up.

Fang Lang had already noticed the change in Sirio Leitch's expression, and knew that the other party must be retreating in his heart. Without waiting for the other party to speak, he hurriedly continued:

"In fact, our Chinese ancestors began to notice the importance of intelligence work very early. Therefore, thousands of years ago, intelligence officers appeared, and they were called intermittent.

These rooms are divided into many types, among which there are "infa", that is, ordinary people who use the inhabitants of the enemy country as spies;

There is also the "inner room", that is, the use of enemy officials as our spies;

There is also "anti-intercourse", which is to use enemy spies to do espionage work for us, that is, Infernal Affairs;

In addition, there are "dead rooms", that is, spies who infiltrate enemy camps, deliberately pass false information to the enemy, and cannot survive once discovered:

Finally, there is "Ikuma", which refers to a spy who can come back alive to report the enemy's situation.

As for how to use spies, our ancestors also had a lot of schemes, such as counter-plots, beauty schemes, bitter meat schemes, and so on. ”
