"But aren't we going to go to war with the border guards now? Why not just recruit enough people and fight these government troops first?"
Raymond Eddy didn't quite understand what his brother was thinking.
"Haha... You have to understand that the people you recruit in Manguar are definitely here for money, but the people you recruit in Bittenkot Town are different."
Brissot Eddie said with a smile on his face and a confident look on his face.
"How can this be any different? Being a soldier and getting paid, whether you join us or join the government army, isn't that just for the pay?"
"You are wrong. Many people have to take up arms because of money, but some people do not do it for money!"
"Not for money, why?"
"For revenge!"
"Revenge? Who has a grudge against whom?"
"Hehe... Of course there is a grudge between the people of Bittencourt and the government forces!"
A sinister smile appeared on Brisso Eddie's lips unconsciously, while Raymond Eddie on the side obviously didn't quite understand his brother's thoughts, and still asked in confusion:
"How could the people in Bittencourt have enmity with the government forces? Why didn't I find out?"
"Originally, of course there was no hatred, but now! It's hard to tell!"
"Now? Oh! I understand. Are you saying that when government troops occupy the town of Bittenkot, the people in the town may be harmed?"
"Hehe... It's not a possibility, but a certainty. I really know the virtues of the army very well.
Since we have declared to the outside world that the town of Bittenkot is under our control and is out of the control of the government forces, the government forces will definitely not hold back during the attack. "
"Oh! I understand. No wonder when we occupied the town of Bittencourt, you had to restrain everyone and not harm the residents of the town. This is just to win people's hearts, right?"
Brissot Eddie heard his brother's words and rolled his eyes at him angrily. Although these are facts, they cannot be exposed directly like this! Fortunately, there are only two of us here now. If other people heard this, I don’t know what they would think!
However, for his younger brother, Brisso Eddie had to teach him carefully bit by bit. After thinking for a while, he continued to guide:
"You have to know that although we have announced that the town of Bittencott will break away from the Brazilian government under our leadership, will the people of Bittencott really follow us and become independent?"
"It's not up to them. If we directly lead the troops to occupy the town of Bittencourt, the town will become our territory."
"You are right. This does mean we control Bittenkot, but the locals will not recognize us."
"How dare they! If anyone disobeys me, I will lead my troops and kill them all!"
Raymond Eddie said with an angry look on his face.
Regarding his brother's reckless character, Brisso Eddie really didn't know what to say. He glared at him angrily, then suppressed his emotions and said:
"Stupid, if you really do this, how can we survive in Bittenkot? Do you want to kill all the townspeople?"
After being scolded by his brother, Raymond Eddie did not dare to refute, but the expression on his face showed that he still didn't take it seriously.
At this moment, Brisso Eddie really wanted to give up on this idiot, but who would let the other person be his biological brother! The family has come this far thanks to this stupid guy.
But what can be done! My own brother! It is impossible for him to really give up on the other party. Once he gives up on the other party, the other party will never survive for more than a month.
Therefore, the only way to continue education is:
“It doesn’t matter if the locals don’t recognize us for a while, we just need to let the outside world think that the people in the town are with us.
Our clear telegram tied the whole town to us. Even if someone in the town reacted, there would be no way to explain, because we have the telegram in our hands.
From the current situation, it seems that the government forces clearly regard the people in the town as our party members. "
No matter how stupid Raymond Eddie was, he still reacted at this moment.
"Oh! I understand. The government troops regard the locals in the town as our people and will definitely attack them.
This is equivalent to the government forces pushing the locals to our side, right? Brother, you are so insidious. "
Brissot Eddie, who was a little happy when he heard that his brother finally got the idea, was so angry at the last sentence that he almost jumped up.
He raised his foot and kicked Raymond Eddie on the butt.
"This is called wisdom and strategy. Insidious...I'll let you talk about insidious again."
Raymond Eddy woke up after being kicked by his brother. He quickly jumped away to avoid it and begged for mercy:
"Yes, it's wisdom and strategy. Brother, you are so powerful."
After hearing Raymond Eddie's words, Brisso Eddie took back his feet. He glared at the other person angrily.
Raymond Eddie saw this and quickly flattered him:
"Brother, I understand what you mean. Now that the locals in Bitenkot Town were attacked by the government troops, there will definitely be many people who hate the government troops. When we return to where we are, we can recruit more troops. You want to seek revenge from the government soldiers, right?"
When Brissot Eddie heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his brother was not hopelessly stupid, and he finally followed his own train of thought.
He nodded with satisfaction and said:
"You're not that stupid yet!"
Raymond Eddie smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and then said with some confusion:
"But, I think even if this is the case, we don't need to leave any equipment! After all, our most important problem now is to deal with the coming government troops. Isn't the more people, the better?
If we can defeat the government forces, of course we will have more captures. Wouldn't it be the same to use these captures to recruit new soldiers? "
Brissot Eddie couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and he also reacted, yes! The most important thing now is to expand the team to deal with the upcoming attack by the government forces. That is the most important thing!
I didn't expect that I am also a wise man. Every time I think about it, I will make a mistake! This time, he was actually taught a lesson by his idiot brother.
However, he was not someone who couldn't listen to advice, so he coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, and then slowly said:
"Well! In that case, feel free to start recruiting troops!"
Raymond Eddie was very happy to see his brother persuaded by him, and he finally became smarter for a while.
Thinking of something, he continued to speak:
"Brother, if the government troops in Bittenkot Town receive orders from above and occupy Bittenkot Town, what will we do if the government troops send troops from other places?"
Seeing that his brother seemed to have suddenly enlightened and raised a new question, Brissot Eddie felt very relieved. After all, his education for so long was not in vain!
He had already considered this question raised by his younger brother, so he said without hesitation:
“If the government forces want to organize a new army to encircle and suppress us, it will take at least one more week.
You must know that there is no road to reach Manguari from the mainland. If you want to approach Manguari, you must take the waterway. On the waterway, I have already arranged our manpower to drive fishing boats and pretend to be fishermen to guard.
As soon as any enemy approaches, we will receive an early warning.
We will have time to evacuate by then. "
After Raymond Eddie heard his brother's words, he was obviously not satisfied. He asked directly with a dissatisfied tone:
"Withdraw again? Why do we always have to run away? We now have more than a thousand guns, so our strength is not bad!
At the worst possible outcome, we will have a fight with the government troops in Manguari to let them know how powerful we are! "
"What nonsense are you talking about? Is it enough to have a thousand guns? Can we withstand the loss?
If there are a lot of casualties, our team will be dispersed, do you understand? "
"Then we can't just run around and hide here and there! This way the team's morale will be quickly depleted."
"Don't worry! It won't be long. As long as we insist on the arrival of the rainy season, we can get enough breathing space. It is impossible for the government forces to launch an offensive during the rainy season. You must know that the Amazon jungle is not so easy to enter during the rainy season.
By the time the next dry season arrives, we will have already thoroughly digested Bittenkot and Manguari.
At that time, it will not be so easy for government forces to attack again. "
Brissot Eddie spoke slowly and confidently.
But in fact, the situation is obviously not as simple as he said. With the reputation of their Eddie brothers in the Brazilian government, it is impossible to get along with the government. And when the rainy season arrives, the government troops will give them a chance to breathe. , and it is only his own judgment.
Raymond Eddie obviously didn't think much about this. He still believed in his brother very much, but this tactic of not facing the enemy head-on did not suit his wishes.
"Then we must wipe out the government troops occupying Bittenkot Town before the rainy season arrives!"
These words made Brissot Eddy fall into deep thought. According to his plan, he really wanted to repel or annihilate the government army responsible for annihilating them before the rainy season.
But now he discovered that the leader of this government army was not a fool. He did not lead his troops directly towards Manguari as he expected. Instead, they withstood the pressure from the top and stationed the army down.
He had to find new ways to mobilize the other party.
"Yes! Even if we can't eliminate them, we still have to find a way to drive them out. Otherwise, many of the subsequent plans will be difficult to implement."
After going around in a circle, the problem returned to its original starting point. While he was talking about it, his mind was already thinking about how to face the next situation.
Raymond Eddy, who was standing aside, saw his brother folding his arms and lost in thought. He also understood that his brother was thinking about how to solve the current trouble.
At this time, it's not suitable for me to disturb you. So, I left without saying anything more.
The town of Manguari is now in chaos. Although, considering his own interests, Brisso Eddie ordered the rebel soldiers not to mess around in the town of Manguari.
However, how could a group of gangsters who were responsible for transporting DPs really do nothing when they walked into the town openly.
The original Raymond Eddie didn't care about this kind of thing, but after listening to his brother's words just now, he already understood his brother's true thoughts.
While walking on the street, he happened to see two rebel soldiers carrying rifles on their backs, holding cigarettes in their mouths, holding up their belts, and walking out of a house on the roadside with a smile.
After seeing him, he didn't pay any particular attention. He just put his feet together as if to salute him as a military salute.
Then a soldier who looked like a veteran took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, pulled out one and handed it to Raymond Eddie:
"Sir, give it a try. This was seized from the government army's logistics supplies!"
Hearing this, Raymond Eddie frowned even more. After all, he had also worked at the police headquarters for many years and still had the most basic disciplinary requirements.
Logically speaking, this kind of seized materials should be distributed uniformly by them, but they have obviously not started to distribute these materials yet. So how did the other party get the cigarettes in their hands?
If it were Brissot Eddie, he might have investigated it quietly, but unfortunately, it was Raymond Eddie who encountered this matter now.
Having just learned about the purpose of his brother, Brisso Eddie's order to prevent the soldiers from messing around, he glared at the other party fiercely and said:
"The commander has long ordered that no one is allowed to break into private houses. What are you doing?"
The commander in Raymond Eddie's mouth was naturally his brother, Brissot Eddie, the leader of the rebels.
Seeing his serious attitude and fierce eyes, the other soldier was obviously shocked, a little nervous and didn't know how to deal with himself.
But the soldier who was obviously an experienced soldier smiled at Raymond Eddie and said:
"Sir, you have misunderstood us. We did not break into private houses. This is just a place for doing business! We spent money. If you don't believe me, I will take you in now to ask."
Raymond Eddie, who originally thought about taking these two guys back to scare the monkeys, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
He knew this old oil man. He was a confidant of Bartlett Crowe, who was originally responsible for managing this armed force. He had more than a hundred people under his command. When he first arrived, Raymond Eddie felt from the other party's attitude that the other party actually didn't take their brother seriously at all.
This is why Raymond Eddy wanted to use him to scare the monkeys.
But the other party swore that this place was a skin and meat business, and they returned the money. If that was the case, of course he couldn't say anything more.
But he wasn't that easy to talk about. He took a deep look at the other party's nonchalant look, and felt even more annoyed. Pushed the old oil man in front of him away.
He strode towards the house where they came from.
Seeing this scene, Laoyouzi frowned and a cold light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly hid it and said with a smile:
"I didn't expect the deputy commander to have the same hobbies as us, haha... Don't worry! I'll take you in, but they won't accept ordinary people."
As he spoke, he winked at the other rebel beside him, turned around and followed Raymond Eddie.
Raymond Eddy opened the door and saw an Indian woman in the room, crying and arranging her clothes.
A little boy of one or two years old was holding the other party's clothes.
