Of course, General Eddie was not drunk. His alcohol tolerance was far from what general Abu could challenge.
Eddie’s adjutant immediately heaved a sigh of relief. “General, you’re awake…
General Eddie nodded slightly. “Tell me about the situation. Did your investigation yield any results?”
The adjutant coughed twice, he said seriously, “According to the information we received before, General Abu has at least three to four thousand soldiers. But according to the results of our observation in the barracks today, there are only about one to two thousand people here…
“Are there no accurate figures? How many people are there in the barracks?”
“There’s no way to calculate the accurate figures because… many of their soldiers have gone home to rest…”
“Go home to rest?”
“Yes, those soldiers said that they only did some training in the morning when the Sun wasn’t too strong, and they had a break in the afternoon. Then, they would occasionally have training at night, but it might not be…”
“Hehehe… ”
General Eddie laughed, “Abu… this is similar to when he was a pirate. ”
The adjutant continued, “I went to Kanimar City to ask our intelligence officer. He said that General Abu’s army didn’t have much training in the past. They only bought a few tanks recently and recruited some new soldiers. That’s why they started training more frequently.” “What about their tanks?”
“They’ve been staying in the barracks… the intelligence officer said that tank training was more frequent earlier, but we didn’t see their tanks come out today. ”
“Oh… ”
General Eddie pondered for a moment and smiled again. “Is Abu trying to keep a low profile in front of us… What about the number of tanks?”
“The number has been verified, and it’s the same as the previous intelligence. A total of six new tanks, three heavy and three medium -sized… ”
“What about the others? Abu couldn’t have only bought a few tanks,
“I didn’t find anything else, but, the rifles these soldiers used seemed to be brand new.”
“Brand New Rifles? Looks like it’s not from Cui Zhengzhi’s hands, that profiteer’s hands are full of second-hand rags…
Eddie was suddenly stunned. “Could it be that the eastern merchant got him the weapons? Is that why they wanted to kill Cui Zhengzhi, and then swallow up Cui Zhengzhi’s arms business? Is Park Guochang their accomplice? Conspiring with outsiders to plot against their own boss? It seems like it’s really possible…”
It seemed like he finally understood these questions, eddie slapped his thigh. “No Wonder Abu was able to get a few heavy tanks. It turns out that he colluded with this foreign businessman. This kid… he’s practically a traitor to US MOTHERF * cker s!
The adjutant quickly reminded him, “Should we report the situation to General Ahmed Now?”
Eddie waved his hand. “There’s no rush. I need to analyze where Abu hid his soldiers.”
The adjutant hesitated for a moment. “I think that his soldiers might be hiding in the city. “When we searched the city today, many residents refused to let us in. “These residents might have hidden many soldiers in their homes…”
“How many of them are there?”
“It’s impossible to calculate. Our search hasn’t been completed. There are at least a few hundred of them. If we calculate it in proportion…
there are probably close to a thousand of them in the city.”
“Close to a thousand… we should have taken care of Abu a long time ago. General Ahmed was too lax…”
Eddie sighed.
Although Khanima was only a small, barren city, it had a population of tens of thousands of households.
Each household had at least two or three young men, or perhaps older teenagers. These motherf * cker people could pick up Aya at any time and blend into the army.
With this calculation, it was close to 10,000 soldiers.
Looking at the current situation, General Abu had deceived at least a quarter of the young people in the city and recruited them into his army.
This was simply a pain in the ass for general Eddie. He felt as if his own cabbage had been eaten by the wild boars of other families.
Of course, general Abu had been in Kannima for so long, so it was definitely a simple matter to recruit some soldiers.
Even if he couldn’t recruit soldiers in kannima, there were many small villages nearby, such as the pirate village, which could also provide soldiers.
Ahmed had no way to restrict the small warlords from recruiting soldiers.
In fact, it wasn’t the soldiers that limited the strength of the small warlords.
All the warlords only had one problem, and that was lack of money.
As long as they could afford to feed and provide attractive salaries, there would never be a lack of soldiers in a place like this.
What General Eddie was frustrated about now was not how many soldiers general Abu had recruited, but the young people that general Abu had cheated out of the city of Kannima. The proportion of the population of Kannima was too high.
He felt that it would be very difficult for the big hippo to control the city of Kannima in the future.
Unless general Abu surrendered directly when the hippo soldiers arrived, who knew how many local soldiers of Kannima would die if there was an exchange of fire.
In this way, the city of Kannima would become a sworn enemy of the Big Hippo.
It did not matter if they became enemies, because there was a way to resolve hatred.
But the Big Hippo didn’t have the money to resolve the hatred. He
couldn’t spend it on the residents of Kenema.
He only wanted to collect taxes from here and plunder general Abu’s property.
If that was the case, the Big Hippo would never be able to gain control of Kenema.
In fact, that was the case before. The Big Hippo had appointed officials to Kenema, including administrators like the mayor, as well as soldiers in police uniforms, to maintain law and order.
Of course, there were also the most important tax officers, who collected money for the great hippopotamus.
But these appointed officials did not live for more than two months before they were suddenly killed by an unknown pirate force.
The Kenema people had their own set of order. They were like a super-large village, able to live under anarchy.
It was not difficult to take over the city, as long as there were a few hundred soldiers stationed here.
However, the hippo would not do such a loss-making business. The money he earned from Kannima was not enough to pay the soldiers stationed there.
Therefore, Kannima fell into the hands of Abu, the little pirate.
Pirates relied on plundering for a living, but they also relied on the city for supplies and trade.
As long as they did not plunder the merchants in the city, the city would not reject them.
General Abu quietly grew up in Kannima. He gradually began to take over the management of the city.. He presided over justice among the residents, maintained order, and gained fame
