The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2661

Charlie and Faizal walked past the central square together. The loud roar of the diesel generators was getting more and more deafening.

Many ordinary people would have difficulties having a conversation under such a loud mechanical noise, and many other noises around it were also covered up. This was a good thing for Charlie. Even if something were to happen during the rescue and pursuit later, it would be very difficult for an outsider to spot it even if anyone were to shout and yell out loud.

So, Charlie asked Faizal who was next to him, "How long would your diesel generators usually be set to work for?"

Faizal hurriedly replied respectfully, "As the government has already cut off our electricity supply, all of our electricity is supplied by a set of 50-kilowatt diesel generator sets. It is also equipped with a set of power storage equipment."

"Since the electrical consumption during the day would generally be lower, we usually do not use the generator during the daytime. We will simply use the power storage equipment to ensure that the necessary equipment can operate as usual during the daytime. The generator sets will only be turned on after dark, mainly for lighting and other purposes. Besides that, it is also to charge the power storage equipment."

"The reason why the generators are turned on early today is mainly because there is very little sunlight on a dark and rainy day."

Charlie asked curiously, "If you lit this place up brightly at night, wouldn't you be afraid that the government will send some planes to bomb this place?"

Faizal explained, "In Syria, whether it is the government, the opposition force, or the Kurdish armed forces, ninety percent of all wars are basically ground wars. Most of the planes in the hands of the government have already long been attacked and destroyed. As for the few remaining old fighter jets, they are using them to guard Damascus and the southern province of Daraa. They do not dare to send it out to war at all. Besides, we also have a large number of civilians here. If they were to send planes out here to attack us indiscriminately, they would certainly arouse public anger and rage. At that time, things would certainly be more beneficial for the opposition force instead."

Charlie nodded lightly.

The war that Charlie understood was a modern war based on the Gulf War. 3

The core of modern war was dominated by the air force and supplemented by the navy and land forces.

It was just like how the United States was in a war against Iraq. Both armies did not need to engage in any short-handed or close-ranged combat at all. First, they would use fighter jets to attack and seize air supremacy before using bombers to carry out precision-guided bombings to destroy the enemy's key defense forces and military bases and industries one by one. After the opponent was completely paralyzed, a large number of ground troops would rush in directly so that they would be able to march in and occupy the place directly without any resistance a tall. 3

However, it appeared as though for places like Syria, the warfare methods were fundamentally the same as how it was in World War II. Both sides of the armies relied mainly on ground forces to fight heads on, and the air forces had very little influence in the war.

Charlie recalled that Faizal was the captain of the armored brigade. So, he asked him, "Faizal, since ninety percent of the wars here are ground wars, the armored brigade would certainly possess extraordinary status and identity here, right?" 3

Faizal nodded before he replied truthfully, "Our two most important forces are the armored brigade and the flying squadron. However, there are only four armed helicopters in the flying squadron. So, our main combat effectiveness would still be highly dependent on my armored brigade."

Charlie asked curiously, "Faizal, if you are the captain of the armored brigade, you should have a very high rank in the opposition force, right?"

Faizal hurriedly replied, "Actually, the commander is the one who will dispatch and command the entire armored brigade during the war. The reason why I can become the captain of the armored brigade is simply because I know a lot about tanks. So, my role is more of an instructor, and I do not have much real power here."

Charlie nodded lightly. Since the armored brigade was the core combat power here, it would only be reasonable for the captain to dispatch and command the armored brigade directly.

Under Faizal's leadership, Charlie came outside the wall of a courtyard that was made out of loess. The courtyard was filled with voices at this time, and these people were basically communicating with one another by shouting.

Moreover, Charlie discovered that the languages that they spoke were all different. Some of them were speaking English, some of them were speaking French, and some of them were speaking in a language that he did not understand at all. It should be Arabic.
