Military development is relatively slow, military strength is relatively weak, and military quality is relatively low. This is a common problem among some war-torn small countries.
There is a huge disparity in economic strength between countries, and the disparity in military strength is even more astonishing.
Hamid himself was not from a real military academy, and he was in a relatively backward and chaotic environment, so he had no strategic mind at all.
The only strategy he could think of was to live as long as possible.
The reason why he was not wiped out in the siege two days ago was also because the government forces had an intelligence error. They thought the village was just a small stronghold, but they did not expect it to be Hamid's base camp, and Hamid's base was easy to defend and difficult to defend.
Attack, so it will fail.
However, just because it is easy to defend but difficult to attack does not mean that it cannot be attacked.
The first time it was the opponent who looked down upon him, but if the opponent is fully prepared and makes a comeback, and Hamid doesn't pay attention to his defense, then there is a high probability that he will get dumped.
Although Ye Chen had only a brief relationship with Hamid, he didn't want to hear the news that he was shot dead one day.
Besides, Su Shoudao sent him there immediately. If he didn't die in his own hands when he arrived in Syria, but in the hands of Hamid's enemies, that would be somewhat embarrassing.
After all, Ye Chen still wanted to keep Su Shoudao as a backup.
If Su Zhiyu is unable to inherit the Su family, he can still let Su Shoudao come back.
As for what conditions Su Shoudao will pay at that time, all the initiative lies in Ye Chen's hands.
So in other words, a considerable part of Su Shoudao's US$100 million was used to enhance his personal security.
But Su Shoudao's US$100 million was a huge favor for Ye Chen.
Because this US$100 million and the series of strategic guidance Ye Chen gave to Hamid are of great significance to Hamid.
Therefore, Hamid was moved and asked Ye Chen very humbly: "Brother Ye, I understand the importance of infrastructure, but according to what you said, how should I implement it? Is there a relatively detailed plan?
?”
As he spoke, Hamid said apologetically: "I'm so sorry, most of the soldiers under my command have never read any books, let alone let them make suggestions."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "This situation is understandable."
After that, he further explained: "When I went to your place, I probably observed the terrain characteristics of your place. Except for a relatively narrow mountain entrance in the north and south, the rest are almost entirely surrounded by peaks. There must be at least seven or eight mountains.
A mountain?"
"Yes!" Hamid said hurriedly: "There are eight mountains in total. The two mountains on the east and west sides are the highest. The others are relatively short, but they are all relatively steep. Heavy equipment and armored vehicles will never be able to run up them."
Ye Chen smiled and said: "That would be great. According to your situation, you divide the infrastructure project into three stages. In the first stage, eight frontal defenses and eight reverse slope defenses will be built on these eight mountains.
The fortifications, to put it bluntly, are two fortifications, one front and one back, on each mountain, and then two more frontal fortifications are added on both sides of the mountainside at the north and south entrances."
"The construction of fortifications must be as strong as possible. They must rely on the structure of the rocky mountain and then use reinforced concrete to create permanent fortifications to ensure that ordinary artillery fire cannot destroy them."
Hamid hurriedly asked: "Brother, what about the second and third stages?"
Ye Chen said: "In the second stage, you must at least double the fortifications and ensure that at least half of your soldiers can hide directly in the Yongbei fortifications. In this case, it means that the opponent's artillery fire is fierce and the attack is intensive. Your soldiers are in Yongbei.
It can also be preserved in the fortifications.”
"As for the third stage, you must ensure that all soldiers can survive in permanent fortifications for a long time. More and more permanent fortifications must be built, and they must be built larger and larger. Finally, the fortifications on each mountain can be interconnected internally.
The permanent fortifications can not only be used for defense and living, but can also be used to store strategic materials. If you realize this, you can sit back and relax!"
Hamid said without hesitation: "Okay! Just follow my brother's method!"
After saying that, he hurriedly asked: "Brother, do you have any other suggestions or instructions?"
Ye Chen said: "In addition, you must immediately purchase a large amount of food and medicine and store them in a dry and safe environment. For the first time, you must save enough rations for more than three years!"
Hamid exclaimed: "Two years?! So much?! An adult needs at least 200 kilograms of grain a year. If there are two thousand people, it is 400 tons. In two years, it is 1,200 tons!"
Ye Chen asked back: "Then let me ask you, how much does 1,200 tons of grain cost?"
Hamid thought for a while and said: "The current market price of wheat is about three hundred US dollars per ton, 1,200 tons, including transportation costs, which is forty US dollars. It is not a lot of money, but the key is this
How to store a lot of grain? And if the grain is stored for a long time, it won’t taste good.”
Ye Chen said helplessly: "Now we are asking you to make strategic reserves, not letting you eat fresh food every day!"
"Think about it, you first keep three years of rations in your hand, and then purchase and replenish them every year based on the actual consumption that year."
"This way, you will always have an extra three years of food rations in your hand!"
"And as long as grain is stored properly, it won't go bad after three years. The climate in the Middle East is relatively dry, so it's easier to preserve. In this way, you can replace the oldest batch of grain with a new batch every other year."
"Using this method, we can ensure that the food stored in our hands will not last longer than three years."
"Once the opponent cannot defeat you and prepares to surround you and trap you to death, even if you can't bring in any food, you can still carry it for three years."
Saying that, Ye Chen concluded: "The same principle applies to weapons, ammunition and medicines. Stock up on more and plan for cycle rotation. You must have strategic reserves in your hands to prevent others from fighting a protracted war with you.
."
Hamid suddenly understood and exclaimed: "Brother, I understand! This trick is great!"
Ye Chen said helplessly: "What's wonderful? In China, everyone who has studied in elementary school knows this truth. Fortunately, you have come to China to study. Why don't you study the history of China?"
Hamid said with embarrassment and shame: "Hey, at that time I mainly wanted to go to China to get gold and practice Chinese well. I really neglected other aspects..."
After saying that, he immediately said: "Brother, I understand what you mean. The main thing is to do everything possible to use the 100 million US dollars to strengthen defense. Not only the defenses must be strengthened, but also sufficient defense materials must be prepared. Don't worry,
I will arrange for people to purchase food, ammunition and medicine, as well as some infrastructure equipment and building materials."
Ye Chen hummed and said: "In this case, the defense and material problems can basically be solved. However, there is another problem that you need to take action immediately!"
