The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2724

Hamed never expected that one hundred million US dollars would simply be nothing more than a small token of appreciation to Charlie.

He was so touched that he choked as he sobbed and said, "Brother, you... you're indeed my great benefactor. My limp leg was already healed thanks to your magical medicine, but I really would not have expected that you would still give me such a large sum of money to support me. I truly do not know what I can do to repay your kindness..."

Charlie laughed as he said, "Acquaintance is equivalent to destiny. The fact that we were acquainted means that we were brought together by fate. Since we were fated to meet, it is only right for me to do something."

As he spoke, Charlie said again, "By the way, brother, since you have this sum of money now, I wonder what your plans are, then?"

Hamed did not hesitate as he said, "Brother, to tell you the truth, ever since my leg was broken, I had already lost a lot of talents in my team. I never had the opportunity to replenish and rebuild my army. Now that I have plenty of funds on hand, I plan to bring the old department back together so that I can increase

the size of my team as much as I can. After that, I'll buy some relatively advanced weapons and equipment. Of course, I'll forget about the heavy equipment. The main priority is the equipment for individual combat as well as upgrading our light equipment."

Charlie spoke up, "Brother, I would advise you not to blindly expand your army at this stage."

"Why?" Hamed was very puzzled as he asked," Brother, what brilliant advice do you have for me?"

Charlie said seriously, "The place that you're currently entrenched at could be said to be easily defendable, but difficult to attack. Also, the enemy's weapons and equipment are not exactly superior or of the best quality anyway. Therefore, it would not be so easy to attack you. So, if you were to blindly expand your army, it would not be of much significance to you."

After pausing slightly, Charlie continued, "In my opinion, your biggest problem now is that your defense is relatively weak."

"You only have a few helicopters, so if they hit one, you lose one. That is also the same case for your armored vehicles. They hit one, you lose one."

"Instead of doing this, you might as well put more effort into infrastructure construction. You should go all out to build up your infrastructure so that you can further improve your defensive capabilities. After that, you should conceal your strength and abilities as you continue accumulating your strength!"

"Build up my infrastructure?" Hamed asked in surprise, "Brother, what kind of infrastructure could I possibly build up in this valley that is enclosed by mountains?"

Charlie smiled as he said, "Of course, you should strengthen your fortifications and store up on rations and provisions!"

As he spoke, Charlie reminded him, "You should also know that although your opponent is stronger than you in general, they cannot really produce any real weapons of great lethality. So, at most, it would only be some old fighter jets or artillery. They cannot even use any missiles. Therefore, the war that you're fighting is not even considered modern warfare at all. It can only be regarded as a war model from back in the 1940s or 1950s to the 1960s or 1970s."

"If you are engaging in modern warfare now, your base area would stand no chance at all. The other party only needs to dispatch several sorties of bombers or simply launch a few tactical missiles, and they would have successfully blasted you down to rubble."

"Fortunately, all of you cannot afford to engage in modern warfare. So, it would only be significant and make sense if you focused on infrastructure!" 3

"Moreover, the more it is this way, the more you'll have to strengthen your base area!"

"For instance, you can mobilize some soldiers to build a large number of air-raid and bomb shelters in the village. After that, you can purchase several industrial and mining equipment, and you can even use the mountain as camouflage to build frontal defensive fortifications as well as reverse-slope fortifications on the mountain." 4

"This way, as long as the other party were to launch a bomb attack, you can hide in the fortifications, and you would be able to minimize your losses no matter how much the other party hits you." i
