Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat - Chapter 391
Chapter 391 Cultural Export
In addition to camouflage uniforms and weapons, there is actually another very important piece of equipment, that is military boots.
Because the hot and humid environment of the Amazon jungle is very muddy, it is very important to have a pair of suitable military boots if you want to fight in the jungle.
Know that a long march in the jungle can ruin your feet without the right pair of boots.
Judging from the information Fang Lang currently has, no country has a professional jungle combat boots.
Fang Lang of later generations likes to wear Martin boots the most, and has a certain understanding of various combat boots of later generations. At least in his opinion, it should not be difficult to design a professional jungle combat boot.
If it is successfully manufactured, it may be able to do business with the Americans. After all, the Americans suffered a lot during the Vietnam War.
What Fang Lang knows best is that the Vietnamese like to set bamboo stick traps in the jungle. After the American soldiers stepped on them, they basically lost their ability to move. It was not until after suffering countless losses that the Americans began to design the soles of their feet. Specialized jungle combat boots with steel plates.
And now his Marine Corps, when going ashore from the sea, both shoes will be filled with two boots full of sea water, which is very inconvenient to move.
This is because the shoes do not have drainage holes. According to the experience brought by Fang Lang’s later generations, later military boots will have two drainage holes in the internal test of the shoes to drain the water from the shoes.
In order to prevent sand and gravel from entering the shoes through the drainage holes, a filter screen is also installed on the drainage holes.
In addition to the above, a pair of real jungle boots has to solve a very important problem, that is, the problem of mud on the soles, because once the soles stick to mud, it will increase the weight of the shoes. For long-distance marches, this is definitely a problem. a disaster.
This problem has plagued the armies of various countries for a long time, and it was not until the appearance of a Panama sole that this problem was solved.
When the Panama sole is not worn, only the edge of the sole is suspended in the air, 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.
After knowing these basics, it becomes very simple to make a pair of professional jungle boots. As one of the main rubber producing areas in Brazil, the production cost will be lower than other areas.
In addition to applying for patents for these manufacturing technologies, maybe in the future, relying on this military boot manufacturing technology alone, it will be able to become one of NATO’s equipment suppliers, which is a big deal.
More importantly, with these professional jungle warfare equipment, the combat effectiveness of the troops under his command will be greatly improved.
Coupled with rigorous training, suitable tactics have been developed, and after a long period of actual combat, perhaps the naval special tactics research team under his command will be able to become the world’s best jungle warfare special forces.
Thinking of this, Fang Lang became a little excited involuntarily.
After everyone laughed, Fang Lang spoke again:
“I’m not optimistic about this encirclement and suppression operation. Brother Eddie obviously has a grasp of the movement of the border guards, but we don’t know the situation of this anti-government army. This one-way transparent battlefield situation will make them very angry passive.
Sirio, you have to find a way to let our intelligence agents figure out the specific situation of the enemy, how many people are there, who are the main leaders, what is the condition of weapons and equipment, and where is the lair. These situations must be investigated clearly.
Can’t rush into battle like the border guards did this time, or they will fall into a big somersault. ”
Sirio Reich nodded when he heard the words:
“We sent people to infiltrate Bitenkot as soon as we found it, but before reaching the destination, the war broke out. They were stranded in Manguali.
This time the Eddie brothers suddenly attacked Manguari, and we also confirmed the news through their radio station.
If Brother Eddie can recruit soldiers in Mangua this time, our people will have a chance to infiltrate.
I think we will soon be able to grasp the intelligence of Brother Eddie, the anti-government army. ”
Fang Lang nodded in satisfaction after hearing the words:
“That’s good, as long as we have accurate information about the enemy, it will be much easier to destroy the enemy.
The brothers who infiltrated should pay attention to safety, and do not contact frequently unless necessary to avoid the risk of exposure. ”
“Please rest assured, sir, they are all professionally trained professional agents, and they will not be easily discovered by others.”
Sirio Leitch was very confident about this.
Fang Lang frowned unconsciously when he heard the words, but he didn’t say much. After all, it doesn’t hurt that his subordinates are more confident, it’s better than inferiority!
nodded, and said to de la Torre:
“We don’t need to participate in the battle yet, but if the battle is unfavorable and drags on for too long, I will also ask Marshal Morais to fight. After all, this is a rare opportunity for jungle warfare.
Therefore, the training of the Marine Corps must be accelerated, and the progress of recruiting Amazon jungle hunters must also be accelerated. Strive to complete the training of personnel as soon as possible, so that our personnel can be topped up at any time. ”
Della Torre stood at attention solemnly and saluted:
“Yes, boss! I will start implementing your ideas as soon as I go back. Try to make our marines have the ability to fight in the jungle in the shortest possible time.”
“I will apply to the Ministry of Defense to build a jungle warfare training base for the Marine Corps in the Amazon jungle.
When the time comes, where will the marines be sent to enter the real Amazon jungle to get used to the real jungle life.
So, you have to hurry up and recruit excellent jungle hunters. ”
Fang Lang’s idea has existed for a long time. When he established a military contracting company, he was already thinking about where to build a jungle warfare training camp.
His goal is to be near the bauxite mine in Aurihimina, Pará State, which was handed over to him by Marshal Morais.
Placing the training base here not only allows the soldiers to enter the Amazon jungle and receive the real Amazon jungle baptism, but also prevents the soldiers from protecting the safety of the bauxite mines.
After all, there is an army training base nearby, so no one would dare to destroy it without eyesight!
Placing the base nearby can also reduce the logistics pressure. You must know that there are many people in a mine, and places with people will naturally develop quickly, and many daily necessities can be purchased locally.
“Yes, boss! We have started recruiting experienced jungle hunters among the tribes in the Amazon jungle.
Now there are mainly many people who cannot communicate in language, so we need further screening. ”
Fang Lang nodded when he heard the words. He knew that deep in the Amazon jungle, there were still many tribes living in a completely primitive state. Some tribes were even cannibals and had very little communication with the outside world. Therefore, it is normal for there to be language barriers.
“Very well, you must hurry up.
In addition, this tactical thinking of Brother Eddie is of great research value. This is a typical guerrilla warfare thinking, which means that there are capable people in the opponent’s team. I hope you can organize your staff to study this new strategy well. train of thought. ”
Della Torre was obviously hearing the concept of guerrilla warfare for the first time, and looked at Fang Lang with some doubts:
“Guerrilla warfare? What kind of tactic is this? Why haven’t I 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 proposed by a great person in my hometown that the weak can defeat the strong. Now in the wars in my hometown, many generals use this tactic. Perfect.
This gentleman summed up guerrilla tactics into sixteen-character tactics. 【When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue】.
Look at Brother Eddie’s voluntary abandonment of Bittencourt Town this time. Does it mean that we advance and he retreats? It also occupied the logistics base of the border guards. While replenishing supplies, it will also eliminate the remaining troops of the border guards.
Although I don’t know how strong the Eddie brothers are now, if they are allowed to repeat this several times, the accumulation will add up, and the border guards will be slowly eaten away by them. ”
As a soldier from the navy, although de la Torre has no combat experience in the army, but with the promotion of his current status, his position has become the chief of staff, forcing him to start learning some strategies and tactics.
Hearing the guerrilla warfare formula that Fang Lang said casually, he didn’t quite understand it at first. After Fang Lang compared the action of Brother Eddie’s rebels abandoning Bittencourt Town, he immediately understood the subtlety of this tactic.
After thinking carefully for a while, he said:
“This is really a genius tactic, and it is most suitable for the weak to defeat the strong.
Fortunately, Brother Eddie’s people can only scratch the surface, and use the strategy of the enemy advancing and retreating, but they don’t know the follow-up tactics. Otherwise, this regiment of the border guards will be in danger this time. ”
Fang Lang didn’t expect de la Torre to understand so quickly. The guerrilla tactics he mentioned, it seems that he has made rapid progress since he became the chief of staff!
smiled and nodded:
“Now this kind of guerrilla tactic has not spread. It is already very remarkable that someone in Brother Eddie’s rebel team can think of this tactic.
You must know that in the nearly 5,000 years of history of my hometown, wars have almost never stopped. Therefore, many tactical ideas have been formed, and there are also many military strategies.
This guerrilla warfare is just one of them, and there are many others such as “Sun Tzu’s Art of War”, “Thirty-Six Strategies”, “Wei Liaozi”, “Six Secret Teachings” and so on.
If there is really a person in the guerrilla team who has learned the art of war in my hometown, then this team will be difficult to deal with. ”
Della Torre, who is working hard to improve himself, didn’t pay attention to anything else, but after hearing the series of tactics Fang Lang said, he began to look at Fang Lang eagerly with his eyes bright and said:
“Boss, where are all the tactics you mentioned! Can I learn it?”
Even Sirio Leitch, who was standing aside, couldn’t hold back and said:
“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 is not easy to learn these art of war. You must first learn Chinese, because many of these art of war existed thousands of years ago, and people at that time often described things very concisely.
Many of the strategies in the thirty-six strategies express a strategy in one idiom.
For example, we have used a lot of tactics to adjust the tiger away from the mountain, but after you hear this idiom, if you don’t understand the Chinese language and culture, you can’t understand it at all. This turned out to be a strategy.
Therefore, if you want to learn these tactics, you must have a rich cultural heritage of Han. Otherwise, you will not understand many things 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 what he urgently needs to learn.
So, no matter how difficult it is, he is eager to learn.
Therefore, he asked without hesitation:
“Boss, where should I go to learn this knowledge?”
Seeing that de la Torre’s attitude is firm, he is really determined to learn this knowledge, of course Fang Lang will not stop him, after all, this is his chief of staff, and the more knowledge the opponent has about the art of war, the more more helpful.
He lowered his head and thought for a while before saying:
“In terms of Chinese culture, maybe I can invest in building a school in Natal. After all, there are many Chinese in Natal now, and these people also have children who need to go to school. At that time, I will open a Chinese language training class for adults.
If you want to learn Chinese, you can study in this school.
Or, you can also find some tutors from outside Chinese to teach you individually. ”
When I heard that Fang Lang was going to build a school in Natal because they wanted to learn Chinese, De La Torre felt a little embarrassed, and quickly said:
“The investment in building a school is too great. It is a waste to set up a school for our idea. I think I should hire a Chinese tutor myself!”
The cost is relatively low. ”
Fang Lang glared at the other party angrily and said:
“What are you thinking! Don’t you think this school was built just for you?
Don’t forget that there are many Chinese immigrants in Natal now, and it was originally intended to build a Chinese school for them in the local area.
If you want to learn, at most you can set up an adult training class in school. ”
Della Torre touched his nose embarrassedly, and understood what Fang Lang meant. This school was not built for them alone, so he didn’t care.
Even, he is now sending his children to this school to study, so that he can get in touch with Chinese language and culture earlier than himself.
Sirio Leitch on the side was a little entangled. He didn’t expect to learn Chinese culture if he wanted to learn the art of war, which was too complicated for him. After all, in his opinion, he is just an intelligence officer, he doesn’t need to lead troops to fight, and he doesn’t need to know much about the art of war.
So, prepare to give up.
Fang Lang had noticed the change in Sirio Leitch’s expression a long time ago, and knew that the other party must be retreating. Without waiting for the other party to speak, he quickly continued:
“Actually, our Chinese ancestors began to notice the importance of intelligence work very early. Therefore, intelligence personnel appeared thousands of years ago, and they are called Jian.
These rooms are divided into many types, among which there are “causal rooms”, which are ordinary people who use the residents of the enemy country as spies;
There is also “neijian”, which is to use the enemy’s officials as our spies;
There is also “anti-interference”, which is to use the enemy’s spies to do spy work for us, that is, infernal affairs;
In addition, there is also the “dead room”, which is a spy who sneaks into the enemy’s camp and deliberately passes false information to the enemy. Once discovered, he will not survive:
The last is “shengshi”, 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 tricks, such as counter-intrigue, beauty tricks, bitter tricks and so on. ”
