Chapter 1870 Unusual ambition
Susan actually doesn't care about these praises from the outside world, it can only be regarded as a small advantage. What Susan and Gao Longzang really need is a legitimate acceptance.
Without this scene, the direct return of this team would inevitably lead to doubts from the outside world, suspected that Susan encouraged them to attack the Central Army. But the situation is different now. The outside world believes that the army was loyal to Sharif and acted without authorization, but now it is homeless. Susan ignored past grudges and gave them a space to survive.
Moreover, Susan accepted them in the name of "the commander of the 13th Division of the Afuhan National Army", which was equivalent to representing the Central Government and the Central Army. After all, her position was appointed by the Central Government, wasn't it?
Even the Central Central Army had nothing to say about this matter. After all, in the war, as long as the troops from the opposite camp were recruited, which one of them had not fought with you before? Even if it had caused you losses, now that you have been recruited, you can no longer care about the past.
And Sharif could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. After all, it was announced by him in person, saying that the team was a rebel. If you declare that they were a rebel, they would naturally not follow you. It is normal for them to join the boss.
The final result was that this armed force of 3,000 people returned to Ku Province and the place where it gave birth to it and raised it!
Moreover, Susan really "does not care about past grudges" and personally went out of the city to welcome the return of this team. She also gave them a number on the spot, and organized it as the "Independent Brigade of the 13th Division of the National Army". The commander of that team was also appointed as the brigade commander. In fact, the commander of that team was a deputy brigade commander of Cuba Province during the Zardali era. The officers at all levels of the subordinates were military personnel of Cuba Province. Now this is a real return.
These soldiers are real veterans, veterans of the Zardali era! These people were originally the mainstay of Kuala's military power, occupying half of the original Kuala's total military force!
The return of this team undoubtedly made Susan's military strength soar again. Her total force now exceeds 9,000 people, and she is approaching the 10,000 people hurriedly!
The scale of ten thousand people is already considered a top-notch among the warlords of Afuhan. It is an absolute local giant, and it can even be as good as Sharif!
Because Sharif's original direct troops now only had about four or five thousand people left. Although the reserve team with more than 10,000 people has been converted into a regular army, the reserve team cannot form mature combat power in the short term, and its combat power will be greatly reduced. Therefore, his overall armed force of 15,000 people is equivalent to Susan's 10,000 people, and it can only be said to be slightly stronger.
Now, both Sharif and Susan are the top three warlords of the military power in Afuhan. Therefore, Susan's rise speed is amazing. She will be able to achieve power equality with an old guy like Sharif shortly after her debut.
Moreover, Susan's recruitment of troops continued because she was not short of weapons. The returned three thousand armed forces brought a lot of weapons - all from the Central Army!
After they wiped out the five thousand troops of the Central Army, they seized more than 3,000 sets of weapons, and there were many other weapons. Although these things cannot be eaten or drunk, under Susan's secret instruction, they certainly would not "dump" these things.
So once they returned, they used these spoils as gifts for Susan and handed them all over to Susan.
These thousands of weapons were justified in Susan's hands. Although the Central Army was a little unwilling to give up, it was not Susan who took it from you personally. And considering that she wanted to continue to win over Susan, it was difficult to ask Susan for it.
Besides, Susan has become the commander of the regular sequence of your National Army. In theory, you should also allocate military supplies to Susan. It would be fine if you don’t give them now, so there is no reason to ask Susan for it anymore.
So, Susan accepted these more than 3,000 sets of weapons with openness.
"Not bad!" Susan said happily, "Although there are not many soldiers, it is not difficult to recruit three or four thousand people one after another. At that time, these weapons will come in handy, and you can form a few more regiments. Your method of raising war by fighting is really good. I find that the more I fight, the richer I become, hey."
Gao Longzang, opposite, smiled: "At that time, there will be as many as 13,000 soldiers under your jurisdiction, and only Sharif can fight you."
"There will be more." Susan blinked playfully and said, "Then now, the second thing you said should be done, right? That's why I said that our military strength will continue to grow. Because if this is done, the harvest will be too great."
Yes, Gao Longzang had said before that properly acquiring the brigade's armed forces was the first thing to do, and there were two things to do.
Gao Longzang nodded and said, "The time is ripe, and this matter should be proposed to the Central Government and the Central Army. Because now, their military deployment has been completed and this battle has to be fought, so your coordination and cooperation is even more necessary, and it is impossible for them to over-restrict you. In a word, your military strength has grown stronger now, so you have more say, and even the Central Army cannot control you at will."
Susan nodded happily and then did the matter. This matter was to put forward a "suggestion" to the Central Government and the Central Army. This suggestion was proposed easily and happily in a bet manner, which seemed quite relaxed.
Susan deliberately arranged an international media reporter to interview her. During the interview, when asked about the next military operation against Sharif, Susan seemed to casually put forward her "suggestion"-
"Of course, I must fully cooperate with the Central Army to eliminate Sharif's rebellion in this military operation. As for the expectations of military goals, haha, I hope I can make more contributions to Afuhan's great cause of unification, so I naturally dare not be lazy. Even the soldiers of our 13th Division do not want to fall behind the Central Army!"
"I know that given the complex military situation in Afuhan, many people may doubt whether our local military armed forces will really make efforts or be lazy and cheat in the war - this is all facts, and I am so direct in my words."
"So, I can just make a bet with my colleagues in the Central Army here - see who will destroy Sharif first, and who will first destroy Sharif's old nest Fazha City. The first one to occupy Fazha City will be the generals of Ba Province (Sharif's territory) in the future. How about it? In this way, I'm afraid that no one of our 13th Division and our colleagues in the Central Army will be lazy and will fight harder, right?"
This small "bet" seems ordinary, but it is frightened by many discerning people - good guy, Susan is not only capable but also ambitions. Her ambitions are not only in Ku Province, but have surpassed Sharif and Zardali and other older generations...
