Time is like water, time is like a shuttle.

Soon, Dawn Military Company had been in Bolivia for a year.

during the year.

Dawn Military Company has completely established a foothold in Bolivia.

Even the original few hundred people were not enough to stabilize the existing territory.

Therefore, Su Xiao recruited a large number of passionate young people from the local area.

Today, Dawn Military Company has more than 3 troops.

These 3 people are not anti-government militia, but real warriors trained under the rigorous training of Adecado and the cyber mercenaries who followed Su Xiao from the City of Night.

First of all, all these soldiers have been strictly screened and, most importantly, tested for loyalty before joining the Dawn Military Company.

Secondly, they are all equipped with sophisticated weapons and advanced prosthetics.

Some people may ask, where did Su Xiao get so much money to equip 3 people with advanced prosthetics?

Can you make that much money from gold mining?

In fact, of course, mining gold cannot make that much money.

But don't forget, Su Xiao had a deal with the Republic of Texas before.

do you remember?

before texas

Liszt, the weapons procurement liaison of the Republic of Sri Lanka in Night City, reported back to the country the combat auxiliary device that Su Xiao was going to sell to them.

After a long period of wrangling, the Texas Congress finally agreed to allocate funds to the military, allowing them to purchase 65 combat auxiliary devices from Su Xiao at a price of [-] each.

That's right.

Not three thousand, but thirty-five hundred combat auxiliaries.

That is 22 billion euros.

Together with Texas' original 500-man "Shadow" special forces, Texas plans to expand the number of special forces to 5000.

Of course.

Although this combat auxiliary device can enhance ordinary people to the strength of special forces, if it is used by soldiers, it can achieve better strengthening effects.

Therefore, the 500 men that Texas expanded are also good recruits in the army.

……

In this year, Dawn Military Company has developed very rapidly.

Dawn Military Company purchases the food from local civilians at the price of Night City (Night City is already exploitative enough, but compared to Bolivia, it even seems conscientious), and the settlement is in euros. Instead of "Boliviano" which is no different from gold dollar coupons.

At the same time, local civilians can also go to the medical station set up by Shuguang Military Company for medical treatment, which is not free of charge.

However, local civilians are allowed to see a doctor first and then collect money. Moreover, the money collection does not require them to pay in one lump sum. Instead, they agree to use one-tenth of their income every month to repay medical expenses.

With these two simple measures, Dawn Military Company gained great support from local civilians.

People here don’t know what liberal democracy is, and many people can’t even write.

But they supported Dawn Military Company by "voting with their feet."

After gaining the support of the local people, Sol and his men took the initiative and defeated the anti-government armed forces in eastern Bolivia.

The original anti-government armed militias were far inferior to Dawn Military Company in terms of training level, personnel quality, weapons and equipment, prosthetic transformation, morale and belief, etc.

Now Dawn Military Company also has the support of civilians.

The rebels no longer have any advantage at all.

Rebels have been entrenched in eastern Bolivia for several years.

What the government forces and the President of Bolivia could not do even after exhausting their efforts, Dawn Military Company drove the anti-government armed forces out of eastern Bolivia in just a few months, leaving no one behind.

After the Dawn Military Company occupied eastern Bolivia, it did not return the land to the government forces.

Instead, he occupied it himself.

This is one of Su Xiao's plans.

If you want to crush corporate colonialism, you need to have great power.

The only power that can rival a company is the state.

What's more, this land is not being robbed by government forces, but by anti-government forces.

If Shuguang Military Company does nothing and just defends its own one-third of an acre, eastern Bolivia will also be in the hands of the rebels and will not fall into the hands of the government forces anyway.

Since the government forces are unable to conquer eastern Bolivia, it is better that the owner of this land is Dawn Military Company rather than the rebels.

At least the former are allies of the government forces.

I don’t know if the President of Bolivia also thought of this. He never asked Su Xiao for eastern Bolivia from beginning to end. He clearly knew that the anti-government armed forces had been driven out, but he just didn’t ask.

It was as if Dawn Military Company had been acquiesced in taking over from the rebels.

Unlike the prosperous Shuguang Military Company, the situation of the government forces has not been very good over the past year. Instead, it has become increasingly worse.

Half of the "Magic Lizard" armored vehicles and "Manticore" heavy armored drones that Su Xiao bought for the government forces were destroyed, and the remaining half were captured by the anti-government forces.

To say that the government forces cannot support Adou is to praise the government forces.

At first, Mitch and the others were very strange.

I can’t figure out why, no matter how they train the government troops, they behave so crotchlessly on the battlefield with live ammunition?

They have all fought against the anti-government armed forces. The anti-government armed militias are indeed very cruel, but they are only against the common people.

Once you have a gun and dare to resist, the anti-government armed militia will be defeated instantly like a group of monkeys.

After Su Xiao personally arrived at the front line where the government troops were fighting the anti-government forces and witnessed it with his own eyes, he understood why the government troops' combat effectiveness was so low.

To put it bluntly, the government troops have no faith and lack motivation.

From the perspective of people from Asian and European countries, serving the country is a matter of course, and basically no one would deny this view.

But here, in Bolivia, soldiers serve purely for pay, and this pay is not always received on time.

And they often get deducted.

Failure to receive military pay is naturally a devastating blow to the morale of soldiers.

Not only that, Su Xiao also discovered that the disparity between officers and soldiers of the Bolivian government army was also a very serious problem.

Arasaka and military tech officers aren't usually on the front lines, but this is

Measures are necessary to ensure that the chain of command does not become paralyzed.

The officers of Shuguang Military Company will act together with the soldiers because the officers have the "Farcion" exoskeleton armor tailor-made for them by Su Xiao. They are not afraid of stray bullets or cannons, let alone stray bullets.

As long as you don't get concentrated fire from large-caliber weapons in the same place, you basically won't die.

Therefore, the officers of Shuguang Military Company did not "come for me", but "Follow me".

Therefore, the soldiers of Shuguang Military Company are willing to follow their commanders in the charge.

Chapter 323: Outsourcing, everything can be outsourced (3K)

But the officers of the Bolivian government army always shrank back, not because of Arasaka or military technology, but because of pure greed for life and fear of death.

They come from the elite class, and are not from the same class as the soldiers who are almost all mud-legged.

In addition, many officers of the government army have returned from studying in foreign military academies, which makes them even more disdainful of ordinary soldiers who cannot read a single word.

Therefore, when the government troops fought with the rebels, the government army officers did not even go to the frontline command post. Instead, they stayed in the safe rear and directed the government troops' actions using maps and radios.

This kind of command method is destined to delay the fighter's opportunity. In addition, the officers of the government army do not care about the lives of the soldiers at all, and they attack at every turn. This is even more peaceful than the Malu Army of the old Japan.

If the soldiers' lives were not treated as human beings, the ordinary soldiers would naturally become passive and slow down their work.

As soon as the battle started, they would take their weapons out of the bunker and shoot randomly, asking for an attack slowly and slowly, even slower than a turtle.If you go a little bit into the wind, you can run faster than a rabbit in no time.

Even the "Magic Lizard" can be dropped and given to the enemy (you don't escape with the "Magic Lizard" because you think the target of the armored vehicle is too big. Dropping it can attract the enemy's attention, making it easier for you to escape).

From top to bottom, there is almost no single redeeming feature of the government forces. With so many shortcomings all added up, it’s hard to believe that the government forces can win the war.

For these reasons, the Bolivian government forces are not having an easy time, and the domestic situation remains grim.

……

Two weeks later, outside the capital La Paz.

A stretch limousine and four modified Hummers were parked outside the city.

A group of men in black suits with weapons stood around the vehicle, as if no strangers were allowed to enter.

This is the last face of the government army, the presidential guard.

It's completely different from those government troops who pull their hips.

The president sat in the limousine and kept looking at his watch.

Emotional anxiety.

As if waiting for someone.

Finally, an armored SUV appeared in the distance.

The car moved from far to near, stopping hundreds of meters away.

Su Xiao and Goro Takemura got out of the car.

Seeing Su Xiao, the president's anxious expression disappeared, replaced by excitement and excitement.

He hurriedly got out of the car, pushed aside the presidential guard guarding the limousine, and walked towards Su Xiao with a big smile.

"Su, my friend, hahahahaha——"

"Mr. President, nice to meet you."

A few days ago, Su Xiao received a call from the president himself, inviting him to the capital La Paz to discuss important matters.

Sol and others were opposed to Su Xiao going there in person, or to say the least, even if Su Xiao wanted to go, he should bring at least a few teams with him.

They were worried that under the guise of an invitation, the president actually wanted to detain Su Xiao in La Paz to demand eastern Bolivia from Dawn Military Company.
