Chapter 1731 War Motives

"Beheading? Exchange hostages?" Luo Zheng was startled, then his face changed slightly, and he frowned in thought. He felt that this possibility was very high. After a while, Luo Zheng smiled and said: "It seems that our staff department has begun to play its role. Okay, great, I won’t have to think about these issues in the future. Brother Li, I will leave the responsibility of the staff to you. I estimate that the enemy will take action. You should figure out the enemy’s tactics as soon as possible.”

"No problem." Captain Li said confidently: "They are all elites. After getting familiar with the situation here, the staff can play a greater role. By the way, I have something to tell you. My troops We have launched a small-scale sneak attack on the enemy, but the effect is average. Everyone has their own wins and losses. Do you think we should expand the scale? In addition, our place is constantly monitored by enemy satellites, which is not a problem after all. "

"It's different for the time being. Everyone wins or loses. After all, the purpose of what we do is to train troops. As for the monitoring issue, the enemy's military base will not be repaired in a month. There is no need to worry about their vehicle-mounted missile attacks within a month. As for long-range missiles, we need We have to go through the airspace of several countries to get here. The Sam Country does not dare to mess around, there is nothing to be afraid of, but after the cave is dug, you all can go into the cave to work, and the wooden house outside can be used as a barracks." Luo Zheng said thoughtfully.

"Okay, but I propose to build more wooden houses as camouflage to deceive the enemy's satellites and confuse the enemy's judgment. The people from the Huk tribe are idle anyway, so just let them do it. There is no need to mobilize arms to do this. ." Captain Li suggested.

"This is a good idea. After it is done, place mines around it and make it into a trap. I think it can be done. Laying mines is also one of the training subjects. Just let the relevant troops do it. As for Hook, I will inform him later. Anything else?" Luo Zheng agreed.

"Not at the moment. I'll take care of the little things myself, so I won't bother you." Captain Li said with a smile.

"Okay." Luo Zheng trusted Captain Li very much. He happened to be lazy and agreed to walk out of the headquarters. He happened to see Lan Xue coming, so he gave Lan Xue a look. After the two returned to Lan Xue's room, Luo Zheng Zheng asked softly: "What do you think about the issue of sworn worship?"

"This is a good thing. It can deepen trust. However, you are a soldier, so you have to report it." Lan Xue said with a smile.

Luo Zheng nodded, turned on the beacon and contacted the headquarters, told Blue Star the situation, signaled Blue Star to report it and ended the call. He looked at Lan Xue with concern and asked: "Continuous fighting, are you okay?"

"It's okay, don't worry. If something happens, I will tell you in time." Lan Xue felt warm in her heart, smiled, and stroked her scattered hair. She looked so charming, and Luo Zheng couldn't help but be fascinated by it. Seeing Luo Zheng's obsessed look, Lan Xue couldn't help but smile and said: "Haven't you seen enough? Speaking of business, that cannibal guy is not simple. He has high prestige and is not greedy. He is a person. The key is his Once the identity is sworn, it will be even more powerful for Hook, which will be helpful to our mission."

"Well, let's wait for domestic news. We are soldiers and cannot decide these things on our own. Are you hungry? Let's go eat." Luo Zheng smiled and motioned Lan Xue to get up.

The two of them walked out of the room and came to the eating place. This was the place that Hook specially arranged for Luo Zheng's people to eat. The room was cleaned every day, and someone would bring food to them during the meal. The two walked into the restaurant. Look, the other brothers have already arrived, and someone is placing food. There are cooked food, wild fruits, rice, etc. in each wooden basin. Although it is simple, no one pays much attention to it.

This kind of meal is a bit like a buffet. Everyone can take what they want. Luo Zheng picked up a wooden bowl and served some food for himself. He put it on the wooden table and started eating. Halfway through the meal, Captain Li suddenly came in a hurry, looking a little excited. , sat down next to Luo Zheng, looked around, with a mysterious expression.

"Is there anything going on?" Luo Zheng asked in surprise.

Captain Li thought for a moment and said, "You eat first, and we'll go out and talk after you're done."

Luo Zheng knew something was wrong as soon as he heard this. He finished the food in the wooden bowl in a few mouthfuls and signaled Captain Li to walk out of the canteen. The two of them came to a place where no one was outside. Luo Zheng looked at Captain Li in surprise. Captain Li saw There was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said, "Wei Jian just sent me information. He said that a rare metal was discovered."

"What do you mean?" Luo Zheng asked in surprise: "We are going to fight first, why did we get caught in the metal?"

"I discovered by accident. When Wei Jian was teaching others how to use RPGs, a rocket exploded the mountain, exposing your metal. You may not know that Wei Jian is also an expert in chemical engineering. He studied the metal carefully and said that inside It may contain tantalum." Captain Li explained in a low voice.

"Tantalum? What is it? Does it have something to do with our war?" Luo Zheng asked in surprise. Seeing Captain Li's serious expression, he thought that there might be something complicated here, so he couldn't help but pay attention.

"It has nothing to do with the war, but it has something to do with our country." Captain Li explained seriously. Seeing Luo Zheng's confused face, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and continued: "To be honest, when I heard this information, I was just like you. Why are you studying metal so well?"

"Tell me, what's going on?" Luo Zheng asked seriously.

"I'm a soldier just like you, so I don't know anything about metals. According to Wei Jian, tantalum is one of the rare metal mineral resources. It is an indispensable strategic raw material for the development of electronic industry and space technology. It has a wide range of applications, especially for military use. In terms of equipment, one thing you may be interested in is that half of the world's tantalum metal production is used in the production of tantalum capacitors. The Defense Logistics Agency of Sam's country is the largest owner of tantalum metal. It once bought out three-thirds of the world's tantalum metal production. One of the tantalum powders, in other words, Sam Country is the country with the largest consumption of tantalum." Captain Li explained.

"You mean, Sam's country sent a lot of troops here to build a military base. In addition to maintaining regional stability, there is also the possibility that they are here to attack tantalum?" Luo Zheng asked in surprise.

"It's possible. Otherwise, why would they attack the Huk tribe when they have nothing to do? The Sam country is a country that has no profit and cannot afford to be early. Is it really just for the so-called counter-terrorism? This is not in their interests. So many people died. The people still insisted on fighting and expanded their troops. It was uncharacteristic and completely inconsistent with their style. If it was for tantalum, then all this would be explained. Maybe they already knew that this metal was here and defeated Hook. The tribe can mine whatever they want, and no one knows." Captain Li analyzed seriously.
