"But aren't we going to go to war with the border guards now? Why don't we just recruit enough people and fight these government troops first?"
Raymond Eddie didn't quite understand his brother's thoughts.
“Haha… You have to understand that the people you recruited in Manguali are definitely here for the money, but the people you recruited in Bittenkot Town are different.”
Brisso Eddy said with a smile on his face, looking confident.
"What difference does it make? Soldiers get paid. Whether you join us or the government army, isn't it all for the pay?"
"You are wrong. Many people have to take up arms for money, but some people do not do it for money!"
"If not for money, why?"
"For revenge!"
"Revenge? Who has a grudge against whom?"
...
...
“Hehe… Of course there’s a feud between the people of Bittenkot Town and the government forces!”
Briso Eddie unconsciously revealed a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth, while Raymond Eddie on the side obviously did not quite understand his brother's thoughts, and still asked in confusion:
"Why would the people of Bittenkot have a grudge against the government army? Why didn't I notice it?"
"Of course there was no hatred before, but now! It's hard to say!"
"Now? Oh! I see. You mean that when the government troops occupy Bittenkot, the people in the town may be harmed?"
“Hehe… It’s not a possibility, but a certainty. I know the morality of the military too well.
Since we have announced that Bitengote is under our control and out of the control of the government forces, the government forces will definitely not hold back during the attack."
"Oh! I understand. No wonder you wanted to restrain everyone and not to harm the residents when we occupied Bittenkot. This is to win people's hearts, right?"
When Briso Eddie heard what his brother said, he rolled his eyes at him. Although these were all facts, he couldn't just expose them like this! Fortunately, there were only two of them here. If other people heard this, they wouldn't know what they would think!
However, Briso Eddie had to teach his younger brother carefully bit by bit. After thinking for a while, he continued to guide him:
"You have to know that although we have announced to the public that Bitenkot will break away from the rule of the Brazilian government under our leadership, will the people of Bitenkot really follow us in independence?"
"It's not up to them. We can just lead our troops to occupy Bittenkot Town, and the town will become our territory."
"You are right. This does mean that we have taken control of Bittenkot, but the locals will not recognize us."
"How dare they! If anyone disobeys, I will lead the troops to kill them all!"
Raymond Eddie said with his eyes wide open and a ferocious look on his face.
Briso Eddie really didn't know what to say about his brother's reckless character. He glared at him unhappily before suppressing his emotions and said:
"You're stupid! If you do that, how can we survive in Bittencourt? Are you going to kill all the townspeople?"
Being scolded by his brother, Raymond Eddie did not dare to refute, but the expression on his face showed that he still didn't care in his heart.
At this moment, Briso Eddie really wanted to give up on this idiot, but who made him his own brother? The family has come to this point today, all thanks to this stupid guy.
But what can I do? He is my own brother! I can't really give up on him. If I give up on him, he will definitely not live for more than a month.
Therefore, we can only continue to educate:
“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 code telegram has tied everyone in the town to us. Even if someone in the town realizes what is happening, they have no way to explain because the telegram is in our hands.
And now it seems that the government forces have clearly regarded everyone in the town as our followers."
No matter how stupid Raymond Eddie was, he reacted at this moment.
"Oh! I see. The government troops mistook the locals in the town for ours and will definitely attack them.
This is equivalent to the government forces pushing the locals to our side, right? Brother, you are so insidious. "
Briso Eddie, who was originally happy to hear that his brother finally came to his senses, was almost jumped up in anger at the last sentence.
He raised his foot and kicked Raymond Eddie on the butt.
"This is called wisdom, a strategy. Insidious... I'll let you say insidious again."
Raymond Eddie was awakened by his brother's kick and quickly jumped away to avoid it, begging for mercy:
"Yes, that's wisdom, that's strategy, brother, you are so amazing."
After hearing Raymond Eddy's words, Briso Eddy retracted his foot and glared at the other person angrily.
Upon seeing this, Raymond Eddie quickly flattered:
"Brother, I understand what you mean. Now that the locals in Bittenkot have been attacked by government forces, there will definitely be many people who hate the government forces. When we go back there and recruit soldiers, we can recruit soldiers who want to seek revenge on the government forces, right?"
Upon hearing this, Briso Eddie breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his younger brother was not so stupid that he was beyond redemption, and finally he followed his thoughts.
He nodded with satisfaction and said:
"You're not that stupid yet!"
Raymond Eddie smiled awkwardly upon hearing this, and then said in confusion:
"But I think even if that's the case, we don't need to leave our equipment behind! After all, our most pressing issue right now is to deal with the incoming government troops. Isn't the more people the better?
If we can defeat the government forces, we will certainly have more spoils. Wouldn't it be the same if we use these spoils to recruit new soldiers?"
Briso Eddie was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized, yes! The most important thing now is to expand the team to deal with the upcoming attack by the government forces!
I didn't expect that even a wise man can make mistakes! This time, I was taught a lesson by my stupid brother.
However, he was not someone who would not listen to advice, so he coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, and then slowly spoke:
"Well! In that case, you can start recruiting soldiers without any worries!"
Raymond Eddie was very happy to see that his brother was convinced by him, and he finally became smart for a while.
Thinking of something, he continued:
"Brother, if the government forces in Bittenkot received an order from above to occupy Bittenkot and not move, what should we do if the government forces send troops from other places?"
Seeing that his younger brother seemed to have suddenly come to his senses and actually raised a new question, Briso Eddie felt very relieved. After all, his education for so long was not in vain!
He had already considered the question raised by his younger brother, so he said without hesitation:
“It will take at least another week for the government forces to organize a new army to encircle and suppress us.
You should know that there is no road to Manguari from the inland. If you want to get close to Manguari, you have to take the water route. I have already arranged our people on the water route, driving fishing boats and pretending to be fishermen to go on guard.
If any enemy approaches, we will receive an early warning.
We will be able to evacuate in time by then."
After hearing what his brother said, Raymond Eddie was obviously not satisfied, and asked directly with an unhappy tone:
"Retreat again? Why do we always have to escape? We now have more than a thousand guns in our hands, and our strength is not bad!
At worst, we can just fight the government forces in Manguli and let them know how powerful we are!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Is it a big deal to have a thousand guns? Can we afford the loss?
If there are a lot of casualties, our team will be broken up, understand?"
"But we can't just keep running around and hiding! The morale of the team will be worn down quickly if we do that."
"Don't worry! It won't take long. As long as we hold out until the rainy season comes, we will have enough breathing space. The government army cannot launch an offensive during the rainy season. You know, the Amazon jungle is not so easy to enter during the rainy season.
By the time the next dry season arrives, we will have thoroughly digested Bittenkot and Manguari.
By then, it will not be so easy for the government forces to attack again.”
Briso Eddie spoke slowly and confidently.
But in fact, the situation was obviously not as simple as he said. Given the reputation of the Eddie brothers in the Brazilian government, it was impossible for them to live in peace with the government. And it was just his own judgment that after the rainy season, the government forces would give them a chance to breathe.
Raymond Eddie obviously didn't think much about this. He still had great faith in his brother, but this tactic of not confronting the enemy head-on was really not to his liking.
“Then should we destroy the government forces occupying Bittenkot Town before the rainy season arrives?”
These words made Briso Eddie fall into deep thought. According to his plan, he really wanted to repel or annihilate the government army responsible for suppressing them before the rainy season.
But now he found that the leader of this government army was not a fool. He did not lead his troops directly to Manguari as he expected. Instead, he resisted the pressure from the top and stationed the troops there.
This forced him to find new ways to mobilize the opponent.
"Yes! Even if we can't destroy them, we have to find a way to drive them out. Otherwise, many of our subsequent plans will be difficult to implement."
After going around in a circle, the problem returned to the original starting point. While muttering to myself, I had already started thinking in my head about how to deal with the next situation.
Raymond Eddie, who was standing nearby, saw his brother crossing his arms and lost in thought. He also understood that his brother was thinking about how to solve the current troubles.
At a time like this, it was not appropriate for me to disturb them. So, I left without saying anything more.
The town of Manguari is now in chaos. However, Brisso Eddy, for his own interests, ordered the rebel soldiers not to mess around in Manguari.
However, how could a gang responsible for transporting DP walk into the town openly and not harm anyone?
Originally, Raymond Eddie didn't care about this kind of thing, but after listening to his brother's words just now, he understood his brother's true thoughts.
As he was walking on the street, he happened to see two rebel soldiers with rifles on their backs, cigarettes in their mouths, holding up their belts, and walking out of a house on the side of the road with a smile on their faces.
After seeing him, he didn't pay much attention to him, but just put his feet together, as if in a military salute.
Then a soldier who looked like an experienced soldier took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to Raymond Eddie, saying:
"Sir, please try this! This was seized from the government army's logistics supplies!"
Hearing this, Raymond Eddie frowned even more tightly. After all, he had worked in the police headquarters for many years and still had the most basic disciplinary requirements.
Logically, these seized materials should be distributed uniformly by them, but they obviously haven't started distributing these materials yet. So how did the other party get the cigarettes?
If it was Briso Eddie, he might have investigated it carefully without making any noise, but unfortunately, it was Raymond Eddie who encountered this incident now.
He had just learned the purpose of his brother, Briso Eddie's order not to let the soldiers mess around, and he glared at him fiercely and said:
"The commander has already issued an order not to trespass into private homes. What are you doing?"
The commander Raymond Eddy mentioned was naturally his brother, Briso Eddy, the rebel leader.
Seeing his serious attitude and fierce eyes, the other soldier was obviously shocked and a little nervous, not knowing what to do.
However, the soldier who was obviously an experienced soldier smiled at Raymond Eddie and said:
"Sir, you misunderstood us. We didn't break into a private house. This is a place for prostitution! We paid for it. If you don't believe me, I'll take you in and ask."
Raymond Eddie, who had been thinking about taking the two guys back to make an example of them, was stunned when he heard this.
He knew this old man. He was a trusted subordinate of Bartlett Clo, who was in charge of the armed forces. He had more than 100 people under him. When he first arrived, Raymond Eddie felt from the other party's attitude that the other party actually didn't take them brothers seriously at all.
This is also the reason why Raymond Eddy wanted to use him as an example to scare the monkeys.
But the other party swore that this was a sex trade and they paid him money. If that was true, he certainly couldn't say anything more.
But he was not so easy to fool. He took a deep look at the other person's nonchalant look, and became even more annoyed. He pushed the old man in front of him away.
He strode towards the house where they came from.
Seeing this, the old man frowned, 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. They won't receive ordinary people."
As he spoke, he winked at another rebel beside him, turned around and followed Raymond Eddie.
When Raymond Eddie opened the door, he saw an Indian woman in the room, crying and tidying her clothes.
A little boy of one or two years old was holding the other person's clothes.
