Chapter 2727


    Hamed hurriedly asked, "Brother, what about the second and third phases, then?"N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    Charlie said, "The second phase is for you to double the number of your fortifications. You have to make sure that at least half of your soldiers will be able to hide directly in the permanent fortifications. That way, even if your opponent is going tounch a fierce and intensive artillery and firearms attack, the lives of your soldiers will certainly be preserved in these permanent fortifications." 2


    "As for the third phase, you need to make it so that these soldiers can survive in these permanent fortifications for a very long time. You would have built even more fortifications, and you''ll have to build it bigger and bigger each time. Finally, you should ensure that there is internalmunication on the fortifications on each mountain. Your fortifications can not only be used for defensive purposes or just to ensure your survival but they can also be used to store strategic supplies. When this is achieved, you''ll be able to sit back and bepletely free of any worries."


    Hamed said without any hesitation, "Alright, then! I''ll d 0 everything ording to your instructions, brother!"


    After he was done speaking, he hurriedly asked again,


    "Brother, do you have any other suggestions or instructions?"


    Charlie said, "Also, you''ll have to immediately purchase arge amount of food and medication and store it in a dry and safe environment. You should store rations and provisions that will be enough tost you for more than three years for your first reserve!"


    Hamed eximed in shock, "Three years?! That much?! An adult would eat at least two hundred kilograms of grains in a year. If it was two thousand people, that would be four hundred tons. Three years'' worth of rations would be equivalent to one thousand two hundred tons!"


    Charlie asked, "Then, let me ask you. How much money would one thousand two hundred tons of grains be worth?"


    Hamed thought for a while before he said, "Based on the current market price, a ton of wheat should cost about three hundred US dors. One thousand and two hundred tons of wheat should cost about four hundred thousand US dors including the transportation cost. It is not a lot of money, but the main point is how should I store so much food?


    Moreover, the food would not taste good anymore after such a long time." 3


    Charlie said helplessly, "I''m asking you to engage in strategic reserves now. I''m not asking you to eat fresh food every day!" "Just think about it. You should keep three years'' worth of rations on hand first. After that, you can purchase more rations in ordance with the actual


    consumption of the year every year."


    "This way, you will always have an extra three years worth of rations on hand!"


    "As long as you store your food properly, it would not g o bad even after three years. Moreover, since the climate in the Middle East is rtively dry, it would also be much easier for you to store your rations. So, you can use your new batch of grains to rece the oldest batch of grains every other year."


    "Using this method, you''ll be able to ensure that the food that you have stored will not exceed three years."


    "When your opponent cannot defeat you and chooses to encircle you or trap you in to die, even if you cannot bring any food in, you would be able tost for three years at least."


    As he spoke, Charlie finally


    concluded, "It is also the same principle for your weapons, ammunition, and medication. You have to store up on these items and n for the cycle rotation. You must have strategic reserves on hand so that you can always guard against anyone who is going to fight a protracted war with you." Content

    Hamed suddenly came to a realization, and he eximed, "Brother, I understand now! This strategy is simply too amazing!"


    Charlie said helplessly, "What''s so amazing about it? In Oskia, anyone who had been through elementary school would basically know this principle.


    To think that you actually came to Oskia to further your studies before this. Why didn''t you study Oskia''s history properly, then?"


    Hamed was a little embarrassed and ashamed of himself as he said, "Well, the main reason why I went to Oskia back then was to gain some talents. At the same time, I wanted to practice my Oskian dialect well enough. Therefore, I truly overlooked all other aspects..."


    After he was done speaking, he


    immediately said, " Brother, I


    understand what you mean now. The main priority is for me to do everything possible to use that one hundred million US dors to strengthen my defenses. Not do my fortifications have to be strengthened, but I should also ensure that our defense supplies should be adequately prepared. Don''t worry. I''ll arrange for some men to purchase the food,


    ammunition, and medication now. I''ll also purchase some construction and mining equipment for the infrastructure."


    Charlie hummed slightly before he said, "In that case, you''ll basically be able to resolve your defense and supplies problems. However, there is another problem that you need to start acting on immediately!" 11
