"Actually, there are still many benefits to mercenaries. In the past few days, I have seen a battle report from the front, which says that when our troops were sweeping westward, many indigenous tribes adopted guerrilla warfare tactics against us, and once they reached the time when our troops advanced on a large scale, they took the initiative to hide in the mountains and forests. And it will be very difficult for us to go into the mountains to exterminate them. And once our large army enters the mountains and forests, it is difficult for them to be their opponents. Once we reach the mountains, our various firepower advantages will begin to be weakened, and those indigenous guerrillas are more suitable for fighting in the mountains and forests. And our troops are suitable for large-scale field battles, but not for such guerrilla warfare. So, we have a big problem. ”

Everyone was silent, because now these natives have also learned to be shrewd, and they will not fight hard when they encounter a large army from Taiwan, but choose to fight in the mountains. And they are locals, they are familiar with the mountain environment, and they have the advantage, they are familiar with the animals. However, once Taiwan's army reached the mountains, the firepower advantage was weakened, and there were even many wild beasts, poisonous snakes, and other ferocious animals in the mountains. Often, these troops, who are not adapted to mountain warfare, face losses in the rainforest. And then everyone can't move forward, and it's hard to make progress in the rainforest. In this way, the situation has also stalemate, so now the effect of sweeping troops is getting worse and worse.

Wang Guorui also had a headache, because he faced the same result as the Japanese army that invaded China back then, that is, it seemed that the army had a lot, but in fact it faced a very unfavorable consequence. That is to say, those enemies advance and retreat, and once the large forces are there, they immediately hide in the rainforest, and the large forces have no way to take them. And the tropical rainforest is their best cover, and Taiwan cannot rush into it to fight. As for sending small troops, they are not very proficient in rainforest warfare, and they will not be those indigenous opponents when the time comes.

So now these clean-up of indigenous situations have reached an impasse, if this impasse is not broken. Then there must be a very big problem to face. If the indigenous people are not cleaned up, then the safety of the migrants cannot be guaranteed, and it is very difficult to do so.

"There's no good way to clean up these natives. Unless special forces are sent. But the special forces didn't have much at all, and they could only let them get away. Then we might as well form mercenaries and then come up with some money and let the mercenaries do this kind of thing. Moreover, the cost of hiring these mercenaries is lower than that of regular troops. And the risk is small. If we send a large number of troops, we have to bear a lot of trouble such as their logistics and supply, which is actually very costly to all. But mercenaries are different, we only need to give them a sum of 80 percent, or even 60 percent of our own expenses, and we can let them go and clean up the natives instead of us. Then the wealth of the natives can also be given to them. Anyway, we have robbed a lot of the wealth of the natives, and we don't look down on the rest of the wealth, but the mercenaries may not. We can just let them take it, and then we can all let them get it. And then they're going to have to spend. Then the consumption of goods through the circulation channels can be used to recover some of them through tax revenue, and the rest can also stimulate the economy. ”

"Of course, there is one of the biggest advantages, that is, after the mercenary dies, we don't have to pay a pension. When they themselves die, they die, they fight for money, that is, they must have the consciousness of dying for money. We don't have pensions, so we save a lot of money. Moreover, we are not forcibly conscripting soldiers to fight, which is also very beneficial to the stability of the people. Anyway, these guys are also a bunch of scum, and their death will help our society to be stable and harmonious. Rather than let them harm their own people. It's better to scourge those enemies, so that we can pick up the bargain later. ”

Hearing Tanya's words, someone immediately asked, "Lady Tanya, do you mean to use guò to fight to consume them?" ”

"Not exactly. In fact, mercenaries have another great advantage, that is, they can reduce a lot of political risks. For example, if a country's regular army is used, in Western countries it must go through the guò parliament, but the guò parliament must be approved by the head of government, and then go through the process layer by layer, and there is nothing that can be kept secret. Plus the use of a country's regular army. That represents the political behavior of a country, and represents that the relationship between this country has reached the last step. Once too many political issues are involved, it is easy for foreign countries to interfere or pay lip service. But mercenaries are different, as long as we spend 60 to 80 percent of the military cost of the same effect, we can complete some small-scale battles on our behalf, and we don't have to go through too many councils and other institutions, and then we can go to war. At that time, even if the war fails, we can categorically deny it, and then pass the buck to those mercenary companies and let them bear the blame for us, so that it will not affect diplomatic relations at the national level. So, mercenaries are a political issue, not all about eliminating those bastards. ”

And Wang Guorui heard Tanya's words, and immediately knew that what Tanya said was the set of the later American emperors. If the US imperialists want to mobilize the army, it is not something that the president can say, and it must go through the Congress. However, Congress is composed of non-factions, and it is inevitable that he will be held back. And this democracy has a fatal flaw: it is too slow to be efficient, and everything is pulled and pulled, and it is impossible to solve it quickly. It doesn't matter if it's like this in peacetime, but when it comes to a critical moment, it's troublesome. Especially when rescuing soldiers is like fighting fires, if time is delayed in order to use arms, the fighter plane will be delayed long ago. Therefore, mercenaries came into being, and if necessary, mercenaries could be used to intervene in small-scale battles in foreign countries, and then they could be realized without going through institutions such as guò parliaments. In this way, not only will the political process be reduced a lot, but it will not delay the fighters, and even if it fails, it can be blamed on the mercenary company, and then let them bear the blame, without affecting the relationship between countries.

"Well, in that case, Lord Wang, there is a mention yì!" A staff officer said.

"Song Yang, say it!" Wang Guorui said.

The original Nanyang Military Region has been disbanded, and Song Yang, the former chief of operations of the Nanyang Military Region, is preparing to wait for the assignment of posts, and this time he participated in this negotiation as a senior staff member.

"Lord Wang, since mercenaries have such benefits, then we might as well explore it first. However, while we use them, we must also be spared. First of all, we have to prohibit those mercenaries from having too many people, we must first prohibit a mercenary company from having more than one hundred and fifty people, which is the total number of a company. A mercenary company should not have more than one company in total, so that we can avoid threatening us with too many of them. ”

"Second, we're going to send an officer as an overseer. Depending on the size, we can send non-commissioned officers or ensign officers to supervise the mercenary teams, on the one hand we can guide them in militarized training, and then on the other hand we can also train our officers. The most important thing is that we are also responsible for acting as a supervisor, and if they dare to mess around, we will definitely know at any time. ”

"Third, we need to limit the weapons they can have. We have to limit their use of all kinds of weapons, such as mortars and other artillery. As for the secondary grenadiers, they could not exceed one-twentieth of the number of mercenaries. The number of submachine guns that can be possessed cannot exceed one-tenth of the number of people, and mercenaries are forbidden to use machine guns in combat. ”

"Fourth, all mercenaries are not allowed to carry firearms to cross the market except during combat periods. We might as well set up some mercenary bases, and then let them rent our bases for training and stationing. Even once their weapons enter the base, they are handed over to our special custodians for safekeeping, and they can only be obtained before going into battle. And their mercenary training nights are all subject to our consent, and their training must be supervised and guided by our people. We must restrain these mercenaries in many ways so that they cannot be allowed to mess around. ”

"Finally, we might as well put a constraint on the mercenary's organization. We can stipulate that mercenary units are managed by civilian organizations, and businessmen cannot invest in mercenaries and businessmen cannot have ownership of mercenary units. Mercenaries are civil cooperative autonomous organizations, and their leaders can be elected by themselves, and the profits they receive are also distributed through their internal democratic deliberations. And this kind of civil organization, no businessman can have ownership. In this way, those merchants will not be able to control the mercenary forces in terms of ownership, so that the mercenary forces can only fight on their own, and they cannot obtain much additional capital support, limiting their size and various forces. ”

And everyone heard that Song Yang had so many restrictions, and they all thought silently, because after such a heavy restriction, the danger can be said to be reduced to the minimum.

And Wang Guorui couldn't help but be surprised, this Song Yang is still a talent, and he thought of so many in such a short period of time, all of which are good! (To be continued.) )
