Chapter 1723 - 1723:
Liu Zhizhong nodded and said, "Indeed, these warlords see themselves as kings, being arrogant is normal for them. Suddenly surrendering to others, losing power and status, losing huge benefits, it's normal for them to feel conflicted and resist. At that time, politeness won't work, as for troops..."
"It means starting a war, it means casualties, whether soldiers or civilians, it's unavoidable."
"Then I'll do my best to avoid it! In modern warfare, it's still necessary to minimize casualties to avoid humanitarian disasters. Therefore, precision strikes and targeted assassinations become very necessary. My experience shows that some warlords have already started using drones to attack aircraft, attacking troops may also become a routine matter. So, haha… it's about whose drones are more advanced, whose intelligence system is stronger."
"Yes, it's indeed about comparing technology. This kind of technology warfare is indeed more humane. Whoever has superior technology will win."
"Of course, drone attack technology is already very mature worldwide. Obtaining better technology, with strong satellite positioning support, makes it easier. If faced with particularly stubborn elements, combining drone and ground assault hunting, the problem becomes even less."
"It seems you have your complete plan. But all this still requires financial support! Your money…"
Ruan Juhai paused while speaking, then smiled helplessly, "Once the guns fire, a thousand ounces of gold are needed. Without solid financial backing, it's truly difficult. Drone procurement, ammunition procurement, satellite systems procurement, personnel salaries, casualty supplies, logistics support…"
The chief of staff indeed is the chief of staff, said a lot in a few words, Liu Zhizhong could fully understand it.
In the end, Liu Zhizhong smiled and said, "Money is not an issue! First politeness, then military action; high precision warfare, key strikes, kill sharply to establish authority. How about initially spending 5 billion US dollars to start a fight?"
"Uh... 5 billion US dollars..." Ruan Juhai was stunned, speechless.
Liu Zhizhong calmly lifted his teacup, "Uncle Ruan, swallow the Goa Army, and then take out a major warlord, is this amount of money enough?"
"It's enough, it's completely enough, haha…"
"Then it's settled. Next, I need Uncle Ruan to provide me with a detailed distribution map of the entire Valle warlord, including their history, current status, weak defense points, etc..."
"No problem. When I was the chief of staff, intelligence support was always available. Later, as I roamed around, I also learned a lot. But I need a week to recall and organize everything into shape, okay?"
"Of course, that's no problem…"
"..."
Overall, the conversation this morning was a pleasant one.
Ruan Juhai indeed had his ideas and strategic approach, very much to Liu Zhizhong's liking.
Liu Zhizhong had an even more mature plan, which also made Ruan Juhai wholeheartedly agree.
The young man with grand ambitions in front of him made Ruan Juhai exceptionally admiring and appreciative. He even felt, well, if it weren't for Xingban being so infatuated, Chi Zhongshui might have been an even better son-in-law candidate for him!
Of course, with big matters at hand, love and affection are set aside.
That morning, after returning to the villa, Ruan Juhai began recalling and organizing all the warlord data he knew, and also drew some maps. This chief of staff indeed had two tricks up his sleeve, quite extraordinary…
