Chapter 130: Vicious Methods!
"So, from the very beginning, your goal was not to clash head-on with the Portuguese?"
"Yes, I said, with the current situation, it is impossible for the Portuguese to lose, and the only reason for their retreat is that there is only a problem at home!"
"Are you so sure?"
"Lao Pu, you have also been to Vietnam, and then look at the country, do you think there are any similarities between Portugal and the United States?"
"All at war?"
"Then there will be casualties in the war, what do you think is the reason why those people in the country are anti-war?"
"They listened to Soviet propaganda?"
"Wrong, because they don't see the hope of victory, the increasing casualties, the endless conscription, the people are really against the war? They are nothing more than anti-defeat! ”
"Damn, you seem to have a point!"
"Times have changed, Lao Pu, in the past, we felt that human life was like a mustard, and the era when a wave of our hands could throw millions of troops into a hellish battle like a meat grinder no longer exists, and the appearance of a large number of wounded affects not only the morale of the army, but also the people!"
"I see what you're thinking!"
Promri teased Shepard with a smile.
"The Vietnam War should let you command!"
"Then I'll go to the White House first without saying a word, after all, the White House is closer to us than Hanoi!"
"It makes sense, it's a pity that you didn't command!"
"It's okay, I can command the Angolan War of Independence now!"
"However, I feel like we should evacuate! The Portuguese have suffered one after another this month, and they will definitely increase their search efforts! ”
"Well, it's time for us to go back to class!"
In fact, it was not only because of the sweep of the Portuguese regular army, but also because the teaching tools brought by Shepard were almost consumed, and it was also the reason why they decided to withdraw to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
However, Zabi and his men will still continue to fight, and the other party can be considered to have a slight grasp of the tricks such as preferential treatment of prisoners that Shepard explained to the other party, and then, it is up to them to play themselves.
However, the funding of Shepard will not stop, after all, this is his first independent investment!
After returning to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the trainees from the Angolan guerrillas immediately settled down a lot, they had already seen the strength of the British instructors, and now, these carefully selected, the few intellectuals in Zabi's hands were like sponges, hungry to learn relevant things.
Making mines, time bombs and other improvised explosives is to let them learn to fight against the Portuguese, and digging tunnels is to let them save themselves, Shepard even went over to show up and said, taking the painful US military who drilled tunnels in Vietnam as an example, telling these black uncles what the benefits of digging tunnels are.
"Remember a sentence, existence is everything, everything is for existence, so, saving yourself is the premise of struggle, there are many enemies, but your life is your own!"
And at this moment, Shepard will even take out their means of training the Congo garrison, so that these black uncles can practice their physical fitness.
And when training these guys, Shepard did not forget to continue to give Zabi advice, after all, they can't go through the righteous way, so they can only rely on crooked ways, of course, the experience of countless ancestors also tells us that in some cases, crooked ways are actually very useful!
So Zabi's guerrillas changed their old posture of fighting to the death with the Portuguese regular army, and began to attack those servants, who were also black, but they betrayed their own race and suppressed their own people for a few escudos' salaries, this is no longer a simple traitor! Gotta punch be made!
Zabi kept in mind the so-called righteous name that Shepard said, and openly played the banner of liquidating those traitors and lackeys, in order to establish their authority, they also carefully selected a few guys who usually do a lot of power to the common people, among these people, not only the police chief of the colonial government, education officials, and even some so-called capitalists, they have grabbed a lot of wealth, sucked the blood and sweat of their compatriots, flattered the Portuguese, but shouted and killed their own compatriots.
Zabi recorded all the names of these guys, and then bought some children, let them make up ballads and sing them in the society, and then carefully selected opportunities, killed a few inappropriate guys, and then they will generously distribute each other's property to the surrounding people, although for various reasons, the distribution is very rough, and there is no way to ensure fairness, and even the so-called distribution has become a messy robbery meeting to see who is fast, but at least, Zabi's team relies on this trick, It has successfully made a name for itself in the northern border region.
And this trick immediately won him some swinging people's hearts, and now his team can even solve the basic food and clothing, because of the previous operations, he has successfully won some good reputation in the hearts of the people, and even many people are looking forward to waiting for him to come so that everyone can grab it, so they will choose to provide some food and water for his team.
And Zabi also kept in mind Shepard's teachings, if you have money, you will pay it, if you don't have money, you will make an IOU, and the next time you will tie it, and this trick will make the fame he accumulated before skyrocket a lot.
As a result, Zabi's team quickly entered a virtuous circle, in which they did good deeds for the civilians, shared some benefits with the civilians, and the civilians provided them with shelter and supplies, and even provided more information, which they relied on to continue to make a name for themselves.
And the success of this tactic is actually due to the cooperation of some Portuguese, because the Portuguese regular army does not care much about the servant army or the local officials of the colony, in their opinion, it is nothing more than choosing a smart monkey from a group of monkeys to help them manage the monkeys.
So when the leaders on the liquidation list tried to ask for some help from their masters, the Portuguese would not only not help, but would even fall into the trap and drive them out of their territory, and then when they were caught and shot by the guerrillas, they would use this unfortunate bastard to intimidate the other colonial officials, telling them that if they did not cooperate with the Portuguese, they would end up in that fate.
The Portuguese felt that their trick of killing chickens and monkeys would be very effective, and it would greatly deter the blacks who cooperated with them, but as everyone knows, this is actually pushing them to the side of the guerrillas, although there is still no gap between the two sides of the colonial army, but the seeds of discord have been planted, and one day in the future, it is bound to blossom and bear fruit.
