There were contradictions and even conflicts between the partisans - and this is not something to be surprised about. As long as there are more than two people, people will divide into factions, put forward different opinions, and debate will evolve into quarrels, quarrels will develop into contradictions, and contradictions will escalate into conflicts. This has been the case since time immemorial.

The same is true of the guerrilla forces.

These guerrilla forces have no common language among themselves, except for the slogan "drive out the aggressor", from their ideas to their ends to their means of acting. On the contrary, there are many conflicts of interest. From the struggle for aid from the outside world, to the division of territory for living space, from political demands, to the grievances of the local wealthy families behind the guerrilla forces that have been entangled for hundreds of years. It can be said that from the moment they took up arms, contradictions and conflicts accompanied the guerrilla forces like a shadow, unless there is a strongman with enough prestige to suppress the various factions, sooner or later these guys will break out into a full-scale conflict because of the conflict of interests, and they will not stop until the winner is divided or the same end is lost.

It is precisely by seeing through this that the defense forces will select suitable guerrilla forces to cooperate with, and use them to exacerbate the contradictions between the various guerrilla forces and make them kill each other.

However, things often go out of the way the planners envisioned, and good plans always turn out of place for one reason or another.

"At present, five guerrilla forces have established cooperative relations with our army, the largest of which is nearly 800 people, and these people send more than 20 heads every day to demand more weapons. ”

"You can kill more than 20 rebels a day? They think we're stupid? Or are the guerrillas made up of pigs? You throw more than 20 pigs into the mountains and you can't kill them all for three days. More than twenty good hands and feet, as cunning as foxes, resistors stand there like quails in the market and let them kill?!"

Captain Kirchner slapped the table and cursed, the pressure that had accumulated recently finally crossed the line, and the corporal, who had been exposed to the raging anger at close range, tensed up and held his breath, for fear that a slight movement would lead the captain's anger to himself.

There is a reason why Captain Kirchner, who is always calm, would be so out of shape. It was he who put forward the strategy of "fighting poison with poison", and the results at the beginning were indeed remarkable, and the fierce cannibalism caused the strength of the guerrilla forces of all stripes to be greatly reduced. But just as monkeys find a more efficient way to act after repeating the same maneuvers many times, the guerrillas have also explored a safer and cheaper way to acquire weapons after multiple arms trades—using the heads of ordinary people to pose as guerrillas in exchange for weapons.

The act of killing good people and risking meritorious service has always existed in the history of warfare, and until modern times, when the system of rewards and punishments for military merit has been highly perfected, the killing of ordinary people and posing as terrorists to receive military merit still occurs from time to time. In the eyes of those cowardly and cruel ruffians, it is a fool's thing to go to the battlefield to live and die to earn military merits. The unarmed populace is like lambs to the slaughter, and it is as natural for these two-legged beasts to cut off their bloody heads as they do to reap more benefits for themselves. In today's border mountains, this disgusting behavior has been given other meanings – a shortcut to establishing authority and establishing warlord rule, while preserving and growing power.

True, some of the bandits, after they grew stronger, began to dream of being warlords, and they began to collect taxes from various villages, and some of the villagers who resisted were beheaded on the spot, and their heads were used to buy weapons from the defense forces. In this disgusting operation, they do not bear casualties, they are given the capital to exchange weapons and, incidentally, the economic and physical needs of the groups and individuals. The only cost invested in the whole process is the force used to cut off the head, and what better business could there be for the thugs?

Most importantly, the thugs knew very well that the pointy-eared people did not trust them and did not like them. It was only because of the presence of other guerrillas that they forced the pointy-eared lackeys to drive out the more annoying foxes, and once the foxes were eliminated, they would be the next ones to be eliminated. In order to survive longer, and to get more weapons from the pointed ears to build the independent kingdom of their dreams, they must not be too industrious, and must leave a little respite for the other guerrillas.

"There's no way around it. ”

After a few knocks on the open office door, the major of the Guards walked in with a cold face.

"Those guys aren't stupid, they can't be unaware of our intentions. ”

"Stand upright!"

The duty officer, who was a beat slower to react, shouted an order, and the sound of shoes hitting their heels together suddenly sounded in the office, and a military intelligence bureau cadre in the office hurriedly stood up and saluted.

In order to completely eliminate the guerrilla forces in the border area, the Imperial Defense Forces did not hesitate to put several special forces on hand in the Alps, except for a special operations battalion and a paratrooper battalion, the most famous is a mysterious special forces recruited and organized by the Army's military intelligence - "Brandenburgers". This unit, which specializes in infiltration and sabotage, is more of a hardened version of an armed spy unit than a special forces. It recruits meticulous people who can speak various Chinese, are familiar with the customs of various countries, hold special technical certificates, and are proficient in intelligence collection and disguise infiltration. In this operation, they were mainly responsible for gathering intelligence and locating the various guerrilla forces. Experiments such as fostering different guerrilla forces and causing them to kill each other are incidental experiments, and while success is gratifying, there is nothing to worry about if they fail.

"On the other hand, the bastards' actions are helping us speed up our grasp of the region. Think about it, the tyranny of warlords who disregard people's lives and the rule that can guarantee survival if you were the original inhabitants here, what would you choose?"

"But...... Major. If this continues, before the hearts and minds of the people are on our side, the ranks of those guys will swell to the end of the day. At that time, if you want to clean them up, you will have to pay a greater price. ”

"No, Captain. On this I can swear to you with my rank and medal. Those fellows have no chance of becoming warlords, not the slightest possibility, because they are destined to be dead, to be our gifts in exchange for the hearts of the people and to warn others with dissenting aspirations. It's only a matter of time, and the most important thing right now is—"

Caspar twisted his neck, his neck making a crisp sound, and his cold gaze swept over a group of upright intelligence officers in the office, their chins raised.

"Your Majesty has approved the action plan for the 'vaulting' operation, and the relevant equipment and personnel will be in place in the next few days, and the adaptation and targeted training of the participating troops to the environment are also coming to an end. All the pieces of the puzzle are in place, and now only the last piece of the puzzle remains. How long will it take for your old employers, the Radio Listening Units and the Front-line Reconnaissance Units of the Military Intelligence Directorate, to locate that most important target? .)' location?"
