The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 3135

As soon as the government supreme commander heard Zephan's words, his eyes lit up.

"A feign attack from the front, and a roundabout outflank!"

"That is definitely a very feasible battle plan. It seems as though this Zephan Levatt really does have some skills!"

Zephan did not know that his own set of attack tactics, which could not be any more ordinary, would actually end up being such an ingenious plan in the eyes of the other party's supreme commander.

This was mainly because the other party's military literacy was truly too low. It was so low to the point that it was absolutely ridiculous.

Although the regions in the Middle East were constantly at war, it had to be admitted that the entire modern Middle Eastern was just not good at fighting wars. 2

Ever since World War II, the war had become more and more demanding in terms of its tactics, strategies, as well as its patterns. The whole world had learned a lot of war experience from that war, and even the originally weaker Southeast Asian countries had

subsequently become braver and more warlike one after the other. Only the Middle East had not improved its talent for warfare, and on the contrary, it was still far behind as compared to the other regions. 3 Although Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq had been at war for so many years, no matter how large the scale of the military was, they would always be utilizing the unorthodox guerrilla method when they fought. The biggest problem for the military of all the countries in the Middle East, aside from Israel, was its low military literacy.

The soldiers' training level was insufficient, the supreme commander's skill and level were insufficient, and the various departments and arms of the military had extremely poor combat coordination and combat capabilities. At the same time, the troops also generally lacked the strong will to fight. Many times, many seemingly huge militaries could easily be destroyed with just one blow.

Not to mention Syria, which was a country that had a perennial war going on, but even the military in those few super-wealthy countries that started out by relying on oil was also almost a complete mess in every other aspect aside from being even more talented as compared to anyone else when it came to spending money to buy equipment.

For instance, Saudi Arabia, which was equipped almost entirely with advanced equipment from the United States, was able to seize the M1A2 main battle tanks which were sold to them by the United States even when they were in the midst of a confrontation with the Houthis. This was also why they were honored with the reputation as the 'transport captain'.

If the military level of a wealthy country was already s o worrying, then let alone Syria. 5

The government supreme commander who had been partnered up with Zephan had never received any professional military education before. He was basically very confused and at a loss as to how he should be lining up the troops and how he should be formulating and developing tactical strategies when he had a team of thousands of people. 2

Even the simplest field artillery synergy method was a plan that had been proposed by Zephan.

The reason why the government supreme commander did not think of using the field artillery synergy method was mainly because their artillery training level was extremely low. Normally, they were barely able to get by on the usual training ground when they hit targets at a close range, but if they were to be really placed out on the mountains and asked to bomb Hamed's base, they would not even be able to understand the coordinates calculations. 2

If it weren't because Zephan had experts who were proficient in calculations under him, they would not have any plans to bring the towed howitzers along with them on their crusade against Hamed this time. This was because aside from handling guns, their soldiers were only good at operating one kind of heavy firepower weapon, which was the RPG rockets. 1

That was really too simple for them. They did not need to survey, calculate, or coordinate with various departments as needed. They could just place that thing on their shoulder and aim it visually before launching and firing when they wanted to bomb something, and it would all be done.

Even illiterate people could operate it easily.

But there was a set of tedious tactical systems, such as the elements of reconnaissance, calculation, site selection, coordination, as well as offense and defense which was indispensable behind this kind of thing such as artillery. For artillery with a range of twenty to thirty kilometers, if the coordinate calculation was not clear, they might not be able to blow the enemy up even if they were to bombard the enemy for the whole day.

So, the supreme commander, who did not understand anything about tactics, immediately regarded Zephan's set of tactics as the standard guideline as soon as he heard it.

However, some questions also came up.

Why should his army be the one feigning the attack?

Even if it was a feint attack, he would have to put on a show in front of the opponent on the frontal battlefield, right?

Moreover, it would be impossible for his army to feign an attack that was out of the enemy's range of firepower, right? If that was the case, even fools would be able to tell that this was all just an act. 5
