"Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, it was easy for us to defeat Anti-government Armed Forces, which occupies eastern Bolivia, and it took almost no effort."
"But only we know how much effort we put in."
"It is not easy to gain the trust of civilians, and it is even more difficult to get them to side with us."
"You have worked so hard, but in the end you have to hand over the fruits of victory to others..."
Su Xiao nodded.
"I understand this feeling. It's very unwilling, right?"
Takemura shook his head and said.
"No, I'm not just unwilling. You also have to be careful Government Army to burn bridges when crossing the river."
"With all due respect, boss, even though the Bolivian president seems to be asking for and asking for you, it's hard to say whether the president will still be as enthusiastic as he is now once all domestic opposition forces are wiped out."
"After all, it is impossible for any ruler to allow such interests to be occupied by others in his own country."
"The reason why the presidents of Latin America in the 20th century allowed foreign companies to encroach on their country's interests was because their rule needed foreign countries to maintain it."
"We are no longer in the 20th century, and we, Dawn Military Company, are not the United States. We are not as powerful as the United States before."
"So, we have to be careful about this."
Takemura is very thoughtful and can be said to be Saburo Arasaka's personal attendant.
Even though Saburo Arasaka has never exposed him to these things, as Arasaka's senior captain of the bodyguard, he has been exposed to them, and after all, his vision and knowledge are different from those of ordinary people.
Indeed, as Takemura said, if domestic
If all the opposition forces are wiped out, will the president still be as enthusiastic about Dawn Military Company as he is now?
The reason why many African and Latin American rulers in the 20th century allowed foreign companies to do great things in their countries was because they were sent there by foreign powers.
This alone is fundamentally different from the current president of Bolivia.
Therefore, it is definitely not possible to expect to replicate the practices of foreign companies in the last century.
In addition, Su Xiao cannot agree with the practices of those foreign companies.
Because those companies have violated the interests of their own people and forcibly plundered their country's wealth and resources.
This was not Su Xiao's original intention, nor did he intend to do so.
He doesn't want to rob anyone, what he wants is the country's heartfelt surrender.
"Then what do you think we should do? Directly refuse?"
"It is not good to refuse directly. It may anger the other party. No matter how unbearable Government Army is, they are still our allies. Moreover, the president and his elite are the legitimate rulers. If they declare a break with us, our situation will be passive."
Goro Takemura thought about it carefully and said, "You can agree, but agreeing is one thing, and whether you can do it or not is another thing entirely."
"As mentioned before, the president turned against us only after we completely eliminated the domestic opposition forces. Therefore, as long as we have not completely eliminated Anti-government Armed Forces and Sparkle Group, we can continue to maintain a cooperative relationship with the president."
Su Xiao put his hand on his chin and muttered, "You mean, raise the bandits to respect themselves?"
"Yes, it means raising the bandits to respect themselves, just like Li Chengliang did."
"But many people think that the cause of the Ming Dynasty's demise was that Li Chengliang raised the bandits with self-respect. If Li Chengliang had killed Nurhachi, the Ming Dynasty would not have perished."
"Excuse me, boss, the Ming Dynasty did not fall to the Qing Dynasty, but was overthrown by Li Zicheng. Moreover, even if there is no Nurhachi, there will still be Nurha Green, Nurha Black, and Nurha Bai."
Takemura's opinion is almost the same as Su Xiao's.
It would be inappropriate to reject the president directly.
Now the alliance between Dawn Military Company and Government Army is in a hostile state with Anti-government Armed Forces and Sparkle Group.
If Government Army is angered, then Dawn Military Company will not have any allies in this country.
This is not conducive to the development of the situation.
However, on the other hand, if you try your best to help others, this is of course impossible. The president promised Dawn Military Company only in eastern Bolivia.
Helping the president eliminate Anti-government Armed Forces and Sparkle Group, and the territories captured belong to other people, so this is naturally not an option.
Moreover, just like Takemura said, if all the domestic opposition forces are destroyed, then the next person the president is thinking about dealing with will definitely be Dawn Military Company.
The history of mankind is like this. The lesson mankind has learned from history is that mankind cannot learn any lessons.
Therefore, the best thing to do is to agree, but work slowly, push slowly, and work hard.

"But wouldn't it be obvious if you do this?"
"You will see it, but no matter what others say, this is what we do. If it's too slow, you can fight it yourself. Besides..."
Goro Takemura paused, "Boss, if you have other ideas, you can also take the opportunity to strengthen our company. We don't have to rush forward on the front, but every time we advance an inch of land, we must stay to consolidate the results and accumulate our strength."
"We do not have to hand over the captured villages and land to the president. We can completely take it into our own hands. Of course, it depends on what you think."
The two communicated for a while, and Takemura finally said.
"Boss, I suggest that tonight, it is best for us to sleep in the same room and I will keep watch."
"Although the president will most likely not harm you, this is someone else's territory after all, so there is nothing wrong with being careful."
Su Xiao did not reject Takemura's loyalty.
He knew that he had given Takemura enough trust, and Takemura wanted to repay this trust.
He is different from others. He only joined Dawn Military Company halfway, so he wants to prove himself well.
Su Xiao naturally has no reason to refuse.
So, Su Xiao went to rest, while Takemura stayed on the sofa in the living room, staring in the direction of the door.
It was almost midnight when suddenly...
Boom!
A huge explosion sounded from far away.
Even in such a well-soundproofed room, the sound of the explosion can still be clearly heard, which shows how violent the explosion was.
Not only the sound, but also the bed and the ground were shaken by the earthquake.
Su Xiao rolled over from the bed.
Takemura, who was keeping vigil in the living room outside, also rushed in anxiously at this time.
"Boss, you're okay, that's great."
Su Xiao and Goro Takemura are facing each other.
Then, the two walked out of the bedroom and came to the living room outside.
Goro Takemura With a quick step, he rushed to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, opened the curtains, and looked outside.
But I saw thick black smoke rising from several places at the end of the wealthy area, that is, on the outskirts of the city.
Su Xiao The first thing that comes to mind is a fire.
But soon, he felt it was impossible.
He used Tactical Goggles to scan and found that everyone in the Presidential Palace was also in chaos.
Goro Takemura opened the door and saw many people running past in a panic in the corridor outside.
He grabbed a person and wanted to ask about the situation.
Coincidentally, the person Goro Takemura grabbed happened to be Minister of Defense whom the president introduced to Su Xiao at the dinner.
The opponent instinctively wanted to break free, but Takemura's right hand reached out like lightning, grabbed the opponent's collar, lifted the opponent up, and pressed him against the wall.
The other party struggled hard, but found that he couldn't break free, and his face quickly turned gray.
"Let... let me go."
"Answer my questions and I will let you go once you have made it clear."
"Are you stupid? The rebels have entered the city. If we don't run away, we will all die."
"Rebels?" Su Xiao heard this and stepped forward to Goro Takemura's side, "What do you mean by rebels entering the city? Isn't Government Army still fighting back and forth with Anti-government Armed Forces on the front line?"
"What comes and goes, Government Army on the front line has long been defeated."
Su Xiao and Goro Takemura looked at each other and were both shocked.
Takemura shouted, "Tell me clearly, what's going on?"
Minister of Defense Understand, Su Xiao They won't let him leave until he speaks clearly.
He struggled again and found that he couldn't escape, so he had to give up the struggle and said with a wry smile.
"Mr. Su, the reason why the president asked you to ask Dawn Military Company to help us fight the war is not because of the Government Army's low efficiency and poor execution, but out of necessity."
"Because there was a mutiny among the Government Army on the front line. Many lower-level soldiers were persuaded by the rebels and killed the officers. The front line was riddled with holes. Anti-government Armed Forces could easily pass through the front line and approach the capital."
"Originally, we expected that it would take at least a month for the rebels to gather the surrendered Government Army soldiers and territory. We didn't expect that they would reach the capital city so quickly."
After listening to Minister of Defense's words, Su Xiao and Goro Takemura were shocked.
Unexpectedly, the president hired Dawn Military Company to help them fight the war, not because he thought Government Army was not fighting well, but because Government Army was already finished.
No, isn't this a bit outrageous?
Government Army received training from Dawn Military Company for one year, and also purchased a large amount of weapons and equipment from Dawn Military Company...
Why was it that when Dawn Military Company didn't come, Government Army was still able to fight with Anti-government Armed Forces for several years? Why was it that after Dawn Military Company came, Government Army was losing ground?
Su Xiao gave Goro Takemura a look, and Takemura immediately put Minister of Defense down.
But just when Minister of Defense thought Su Xiao and Takemura were going to let him go, Takemura grabbed him by the back of his neck and escorted him towards the elevator at the other end of the aisle.
When Minister of Defense saw Su Xiao and Goro Takemura, he had no intention of letting him go, and said in horror:
"Mr. Su? Mr. Su! You... what are you going to do? I've said everything that needs to be said, can you let me go? If we wait for the rebels to get here, none of us will survive."
"Don't worry, you have to leave here, and we have to leave here too. Let's go to the elevator together now. But before we part ways, I have a few questions to ask you."
Minister of Defense looked up and saw that this was indeed the direction to the elevator. Plus he thought about it again and felt that no matter what happened, Su Xiao had no reason to kill him.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and my tense heart relaxed a little. "You... what do you want to ask?"
"Before, Government Army could fight with Anti-government Armed Forces for several years. Why did they quickly retreat in just one year now? And I gave Government Army With so many "Basilisk" armored vehicles and "Manticore" Heavy Armor aircraft provided, how come Government Army was defeated steadily?"
Although "Basilisk" is an armored vehicle, it can be used as Main Battle Tank in places like Latin America.
Even the charged Tech Weapons cannot penetrate the armor of Basilisk. If you want to destroy a "Basilisk", you must either own a tank or use a large number of rocket launchers.
But Anti-government Armed Forces doesn't have a tank of the same level at all. They do have rocket launchers, but "Basilisk" has a better field of vision and is protected by infantry. In theory, it is impossible to let enemy soldiers holding rocket launchers get close.
If "Basilisk" runs on the ground and may be destroyed, then "Manticore" is the well-deserved and undisputed ruler of the sky in this country.
Anti-government Armed Forces has a rocket launcher, but they absolutely cannot have Anti-aircraft Missile. The "Manticore" can't even get close to the ground, so how can they lose?
Moreover, the importance of air supremacy does not need to be elaborated. A blow from the sky is fatal to morale and all aspects.
Even without "Basilisk", just with "Manticore" Government Army, we shouldn't lose.
And under Minister of Defense's explanation, Su Xiao finally understood why Government Army failed so miserably.
Although under the training of Dawn Military Company, Government Army has been strengthened to a certain extent.
But their Infantry-tank Cooperation and air-ground coordination were terrible.
It's not that the "Basilisk" armored vehicle drove too fast, leaving the infantry behind, and then
run into the arms of the enemy;
Even the pilot controlling the "Manticore" couldn't even tell the difference between friendly and enemy forces, and he poured firepower on his own people more than once.
Being hit by an air attack is indeed fatal, so Government Army, who was accidentally injured, was repulsed by Anti-government Armed Forces.
After coming here so many times in a row, officer Government Army had no choice but to come up with an impossible solution.
They locked the "Manticore" in a warehouse and never used it again.
Since a bomb dropped on one's own head is more accurate than a bomb dropped on the enemy's head, it is better not to use it.
As a result, what they didn't expect was that several "Manticores" locked in the warehouse were sold by soldiers who were guarding the warehouse and could not receive military pay.
The object of the transaction is Anti-government Armed Forces.
After Anti-government Armed Forces obtained the "Manticore", its firepower was greatly enhanced. People on their side obviously used it more. They rarely accidentally hurt friendly troops and basically hit Government Army.
