Lieutenant General Nick Zirand and James Reilly saw the war report that Casso Shabi was almost destroyed again, and he could hardly believe his eyes, because there was no sign of the unmanned J-7 fighter jets of the Tanzanian Air Force and the People's Liberation Army being deployed from the ground radar stations located in Kenya, Burundi and other countries. For the old second-generation model of the J-7 fighter jet, it is impossible to avoid the surveillance of the US radar to bomb Casso Shabi.

"Nick, what should I do now?" Lieutenant General Riley's cheek twitched and turned to Nick Zirande, but he did not mean to blame Nick Zirande, because this fact was too strange. Casso Shabi's howitzer battalion seemed to be destroyed by a mysterious bomb falling from the sky. Even the US military's eyeliner in Casso Shabi's troops did not find any clues at all. The only thing that is certain is that this attack used heavy precision guided bombs to leave an amazing giant crater on the howitzer battalion's position.

"General," Nick Zirand said with a wry smile, "It seems that we have completely miscalculated this time. I don't know what means the Chinese have used to actually drop such heavy bombs without knowing it. Unfortunately, we can find no clues at all. Judging from the evidence left on the scene, Kasso Sabi was attacked by heavy bombs weighing hundreds of kilograms. This heavy bomb is not something that the Tanzanians can carry. According to our intelligence, the Tanzanians have not purchased any precisely guided bombs of more than 250 kilograms. Similarly, there is no such bomb in the PLA's 86th aircraft infantry equipment."

Lieutenant General James Reilly knew this information. It was precisely because of this that the US military was ready to go and could not find an excuse to fight. For Lieutenant General Reilly, it was as uncomfortable as if he had punched a heavy blow but hit the air.

"Nick, I know the situation. The problem is what to do next? It's rare that we just watched the Chinese support Ka. The idiot of Courtois develop. After these two battles, the strength of this little warlord has expanded a lot again. Without powerful means, we basically cannot control his growth." Lieutenant General Reilly said with a little discouragement. Although the CIA took the lead in doing this, as the first commander on the front line, Lieutenant General Reilly was already in a mess. If there was no way to save the situation, he would obviously be regarded as incompetent by the superiors, and his military career ended here.

"It really doesn't work. I think the only way is to let Rwanda and Uganda's regular troops join in and mobilize Uganda's air force to kill Ka Kurtu, a small warlord." Nick Zirand said after thinking for a long time. However, in this way, the price the US military has to pay is high. It is obviously impossible to drive the indigenous Africans to do things without a suitable price.

In other words, without more than tens of millions of dollars in economic or military aid, don't want these indigenous people to take action. However, for the CIA, they can afford the money. The CIA, which has a secret budget of at least hundreds of millions of dollars a year, is fully able to afford the cost of buying these indigenous peoples in Africa.

"Okay, I think we have to seize the time to act. This time the matter is too weird. It seems that we still don't understand the People's Liberation Army in depth. If they gain a foothold in Africa, it will be even more difficult to deal with." Lieutenant General Reilly said, waiting for Nick Zirand's words, because his African Command could not afford to buy these African natives at all, but could only wave a big stick. However, for the US military, the power invested in Africa is very limited now. A mere infantry division of more than 20,000 people cannot control the huge African continent. Many times, they have to rely on African natives to accomplish things, so Lieutenant General Reilly cannot always wave a big stick.

The actions of Ka-Kurtu not only caused a great sense of crisis to the 86th Aircraft Infantry Command in Tanzania. On the one hand, they accelerated the pace of arming Ka-Kurtu, but also sent a large number of consultants to improve the combat effectiveness of the two new Tanzanian equipment, and cooperated with them to master the PLA's series of modern equipment as soon as possible, new combat vehicles, tanks and drones, which is a great challenge for Tanzanian soldiers and officers at all levels.

Compared with Tanzania's previous combat methods, these two modified and upgraded aircraft and infantry brigades are completely different from another world. The joy of the Tanzanian military getting new equipment quickly became a kind of pressure. In order to make these two new aircraft and infantry brigades form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, the Tanzanian military drew outstanding domestic officers out to strengthen them. Colonel Lazaro cooperated with the 164th Land War Brigade and the 86th Air Force Brigade, and was considered to be one of the few senior officers in Tanzan who actually understand the modern military equipment of the People's Liberation Army, so he was transferred to the commander of the First Tanzanian Air Force Brigade.

Although this position is the same as his current local military commander in Mpanda, the room for promotion is completely different. If Colonel Lazaro can lead the Tanzanian First Brigade to successfully complete the modernization and adaptation, it is almost equivalent to making major military achievements. In time, he will inevitably enter the core level of the Tanzanian military.

Although Colonel Lazaro's resignation will have some negative impact on the PLA's military support for Ka Kurtu in Mpanda, the new local military chief of Tanzania may not be as easy as Colonel Lazaro, and it will take time to get started in cooperation and confidentiality.

However, before Colonel Lazaro left, he assigned himself to the network of Jha Laijit on the other side of the shore to Lt. Col. Cai Zhongxiao of the PLA. Although there were only a dozen people, Jha Laijit was experienced and also had close relationships with Ka Kurtu. Cai Zhongxiao could bypass the new local military commander of Mpanda and contact Ka Kurtu directly, but it was more troublesome in terms of bulk weapons support transactions.

Fortunately, the top-level Tanzanian military cooperation with the PLA is still in a honeymoon period. The old equipment of the newly replaced two infantry brigades has been bought at a discount by the PLA to prepare to arm the Ka. Kortu, frequent threats from the north, made both the 86th Aircraft Infantry Brigade Front Command and the General Staff feel that Ka. Kortu's current strength is too weak. The General Staff has formulated a plan to expand the Ka. Kortu armed forces to about 3 brigades.

At this scale, with weapons and equipment close to the level of the regular Tanzanian army, these three brigades of Kakortu had no problem with attacks of such strength before responding to Tumomba, Kaso Sabi, and the General Staff's strategic intentions were not only that. They hoped that Kakortu could rely on this elite force to capture six provinces in the entire Katanga region and Kivu region, becoming the overlord of the eastern Kyrgyzstan, laying a solid military foundation for the next step of Esta Ruatu's rise.

In this way, no matter what the US military intends in the Korgo Democratic Republic of Congo, it must first pass the threshold of the Kortu Armed Group. With more than 10,000 troops in battle, if the US military does not take action, even if it faces the same number of Korto Democratic government troops or government troops from Rwanda, Burundi and other countries, Kortu is no longer a fleeing young force.

A large number of weapons and equipment were transported secretly from the other shore, of course, for Ka Kortu. In this turbulent place in the eastern Korto, he had no worries about not being able to find anyone. After receiving the full set of equipment from two brigades and millions of dollars of secret assistance, Ka Kortu quickly pulled up the shelves of three brigades. This time, among the artillery retired from the two modified brigades in Tanzan, the General Staff prepared two battalions of 105mm lightweight howitzers for Ka Kortu, and 48 105mm lightweight howitzers pulled by pickup trucks are maneuverable and flexible, which is most suitable for the mountainous terrain of the eastern Korto Kortu in which Ka Kortu is mainly engaged in.

Kartu was so bombarded by Kasso Shabi's 105mm howitzer, almost unable to find Kasso. Kortu was ecstatic after seeing these cannons. He drew out the most intelligent soldiers from the army to form the two howitzer battalions, and then trained day and night under the guidance of the People's Liberation Army military advisers. With these two howitzer battalions, Kasso Kortu's men formed a heavy firepower circle that could cover a range of fifteen kilometers from mortars and howitzers. For fighting against local warlords of the Kundal Congo, this is already the standard for the elite troops of the government army.

Moreover, in order to give this force a primary air defense capability, the General Staff also equipped three FN-16 portable air defense missile companies for Kakurtu's three brigades, which are brigade-level air defense measures of the People's Liberation Army. For armed helicopter attacks or old-style second-generation fighter jets that the KMT region may face, this low-altitude defense means is enough.

When news of Ka Kurtu's massive expansion of its troops reached the US Army's African Command, it prompted Lieutenant General Nick Zirand and Reilly to speed up their progress. They frequently visited political leaders in Rwanda and Uganda, and by buying or promising military and economic assistance, they asked them to send troops as soon as possible to help the "Congo Defence People's Alliance" armed forces that were almost untenable in Kivu Province.

After a series of bargaining, Rwanda and Uganda finally decided to send an infantry brigade to infiltrate Kivu Province to help the armed forces of the Congo Defence People's Alliance to eliminate Kazakhs. The opponent, Kurtu, occupied the Katanga area. In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, Ugandan air force is also ready to provide air support for joint military operations at any time.

They have the most advanced F-16C/D fighter jets in this region as their backing. Although the armed forces of the Congo Defence People's Alliance have suffered heavy losses one after another, in their eyes, Kartu has nothing to be afraid of, but it is just a clown. Now, we can act just by waiting for the Americans to get the money.
