    "Mr. Rick, we asked you to serve as military advisers because we want you to guide us on how to win the war. We don't want you to teach us how to escape." A Western Sahara officer shouted.

    "I know that as a soldier, it is a bit embarrassing to say the word "escape". But since you believe me, let me finish." Lin Rui shook his head, "Sometimes, fighting is a kind of courage. But  Running away is also a kind of courage."

    ¡°Nonsense, we Western Saharans will never flee without a fight. Every one of our Western Saharan soldiers is a brave man.

    Even if the enemy is stronger than us, we will never be afraid.  This is our country, this is our territory, and the people of Western Sahara will never give in for the sake of our country, even if they fight to the last soldier.  "The officer snapped.

    "Let me tell you what a country is." Lin Rui shook his head and said, "A country must have land, but at the same time it must have people living on the land to become a country. Land without people is just wasteland, forever.  cannot become a country.

    "If the people of Western Sahara really fight to the last soldier, they will truly be annihilated.  I know this topic is a bit too heavy, so let's put it in another way" Lin Rui took out the cigarette case from his pocket, pulled out a cigarette and handed it to the officer, "Do you want to smoke?  "

    The officer was a little angry, but he finally suppressed his temper and took the cigarette from Lin Rui's hand.

    As a result, as soon as he lit up the cigarette, Lin Rui nodded to him, "This cigarette is not free. I want ten dollars."

    The Popular Front of Western Sahara was already extremely poor, and even their senior officers did not receive much allowance. The officer almost trembled with fright and glared at Lin Rui and said, "Why don't you grab the 10-dollar cigarettes?!  Are you blackmailing me?"

    "We are at war now and supplies are tight. It is not too expensive to give you 10 dollars for a cigarette. If there is an extreme shortage of water in the desert, even if I sell a cup of water for 100 yuan, someone will buy it. You  Is that right?" Lin Rui stretched out his hand.

    The officer obviously felt a little embarrassed in front of everyone, so he took out his wallet, took out a banknote and handed it to Lin Rui.

    Lin Rui did not answer, but shook his head and said, "I changed my mind. Now I have to charge 100 yuan a pop."

    The officer couldn't help but cursed and almost rolled up his sleeves and started to fuck Lin Rui.

    Lin Rui smiled and said, "Have you seen it? This is courage. Sometimes accepting a challenge is a way of saving face, but refusing is a kind of courage.

    I joked with this gentleman before and charged him 10 yuan for a cigarette, but he reluctantly accepted the offer.  When I told him that one tube cost 100 yuan, he couldn't bear it.

    The same is acceptance and rejection, the same is dissatisfaction, the only difference is the size of the psychological chips.

    Now that Morocco has dispatched about two brigades of troops, you will feel that it is a bit shameful to retreat.  But what if they sent out ten brigades?  Are you still so determined to fight to the end?

    You don¡¯t have to worry about face when fighting a war, but you have to worry about gains and losses.  At present, the training of your new troops has not been completed. The strength comparison is already at a disadvantage, and the equipment and cooperative combat capabilities are even worse.

    ¡°You shouldn¡¯t fight a battle that you know is bound to fail.  "

    ¡°But then we can¡¯t run away? Everyone is watching us. What will the people think if we run away without fighting?

    Those local armed groups are bent on replacing us if we show any vulnerability at this time.  It's like hitting their plan.

    In the eyes of the people of Western Sahara, they are heroes who defend their country, while we are cowards who surrender without a fight.

    So it¡¯s almost clear who they should choose.  I am not opposed to retreating to preserve our strength, but this is an overdraft of the people's trust in us.  "The Western Sahara officer shook his head.

    "That's right." Another officer said immediately.

    Lin Rui smiled slightly, "When I say retreat, I don't mean to retreat forever."

    The officers exchanged glances with each other, and one of them asked Lin Rui, "Mr. Rick, what do you mean?"

    ¡°The enemy¡¯s mechanized troops have the advantage of being fast and efficient. They can advance at high speed in vast desert areas. But they also have a fatal flaw, which is logistical supplies.

    A large number of vehicles and armor require a large amount of fuel.  Without oil, it is just a pile of scrap metal.  This forces the enemy to establish oil supply points at appropriate locations.

    If we retreat in time, we will stretch their fuel supply line.  Desert combat is a special environmentThe combat style of the environment.  While enjoying certain advantages, desert operations also face numerous challenges.

    The main characteristics of the desert are: scarce water sources, sparse vegetation, large temperature differences between day and night, monotonous terrain, and easy disorientation. These characteristics of the desert pose a huge challenge to the military's combat operations.  Actuary, come and tell them about the characteristics of this desert battle.  "

    Jiang An nodded, "Desert warfare has its own laws of war. The space there is extremely vast, and the desolate rocks and sand are unusual. It also has unique requirements for the people, equipment, and tactics involved in the battle.

    First of all, its climate is very difficult to adapt to. It is very hot during the day and very cold at night. It can reach about 60 degrees at noon in midsummer, but it will drop to about 0 degrees at night. Moreover, the summer is quite long, and other seasons are very short, and it will also be in the long term.  There was a sudden heavy rain in a drought situation.

    People in this kind of terrain are prone to dehydration, heat stroke, dysentery and skin diseases. They also have eye problems due to sand and dust. Even if they wear goggles, small sand particles will enter it.

    The flying sand particles will also cause the life and function of weapons and communication equipment to be greatly reduced, or even directly malfunction.  Sandstorms are even more terrifying. They have the characteristics of radio wave obstruction and will paralyze the military's communication function.

    In terms of tactics, there are no shelters on the desert battlefield, so it is easy to spot enemies in the distance and immediately enter the battle. At this time, range will become an extremely important key. Infantry will have difficulty exerting its strength, and tanks will become the main force in desert warfare.

    And due to the lack of natural bunkers, desert warfare also requires a large number of mines and artificial obstacles for defense.  At the same time, due to the lack of landmarks that can be used to confirm the direction, it is very easy for troops to move away from the predetermined location, and often rely on various methods of guessing the course in the ocean to confirm the position.

    Supplies are very important in desert warfare, especially water, so it is likely that the battle for an oasis will determine the outcome of the war.  In order to cross the vast desert, the tank's fuel supply is also very important.  Its nature of having few supply depots is similar to that of a naval battle. Often, if only one supply depot is captured, the entire army will have to retreat significantly.

    At the same time, because supplies are difficult to maintain, it is very important to seize enemy supplies.

    However, for us at present, the most severe of all conditions is the material gap with the Moroccans - our opponents enjoy a huge advantage in this regard, and we can only make up for it with tactics.

    This makes our army need to pay more attention to the collection, acquisition and analysis of various battlefield intelligence than the enemy's army. Therefore, the importance of combat reconnaissance troops has been greatly enhanced.  "
