Girls Frontline: Griffin Security

After a bumpy ride, this old military truck finally arrived at its destination - the "Triangle Forest" area south of the Saudi Arabian border.

After parking the car at the supply point, Xu Bin jumped out with a sore back:

"What year was your car produced?"

"Probably... 2006, ha!" Alexey smiled, "The engine has had problems a few times, but it can be repaired and used... As long as there is no problem with the core components, the comrades in the auto repair shop can fix it."

"Okay..." After hearing the other party's explanation, Xu Bin nodded and said nothing more.

Due to the single industry, the Akstan Red Army does not have the capital to "replace old with new" in terms of equipment. In addition, the restrictions of the Saudi Federation make it difficult for them to cooperate with external companies.

——Look, this car was made by the "Red Star" factory, which was a brand that only existed in the old Union era. It seems that after the dissolution of the Union, the factories allocated to Akstan have not been completely sold off, and the equity is still in the hands of the government.

But without industrial development, they can only "live off their old capital" like this... The rifles are AK74 produced by old factories, the tanks are T-62 designed a hundred years ago... They can't even produce fighter jets, they only have a few MiG-15s that were secretly purchased.

Listening to Uncle Alexei's constant complaints, Xu Bin couldn't help but feel depressed - how can we fight this war? Can we rely on those old antiques to fight against the T-90 of the Saudi Federation?

All the way to Hill 202 where Griffin was stationed, the three climbed up the hillside. The humanoids were digging fortifications on the reverse slope at this time, and when they saw Xu Bin coming, they greeted him in unison.

But at this moment, AK47 came up...

"Boss!" She pointed to a mound of earth behind her and said with an unhappy look on her face:

"There's an officer from Akstan coming over here. He's picking on us over there. Would you like to go over and take a look?"

"Looking for trouble?"

Hearing this, Xu Bin frowned immediately - the war hasn't even started yet, don't let things get out of hand first. This matter needs to be properly resolved!

Thinking of this, Xu Bin picked up a military shovel and walked angrily in the direction pointed by AK47...

When he reached the direct slope of the high ground, Xu Bin soon saw the person who was "looking for trouble".

He was a junior officer wearing a steel helmet and standing straight - he had binoculars and a whistle hanging around his neck, which was enough to show that he was in charge of frontline work.

At this moment, he was arguing with Garland about something...

"Miss PMC, I have to tell you..." He pointed to the distant view in the north, "The enemy can only attack from the north. Why are you digging fortifications on the south side of the high ground? Do you want to be on guard against your own people in the rear?"

"Bullshit!" Garland was also annoyed because the other party's words were quite impolite:

"I must also tell you that this defense system has been verified by us personally and is effective. And the excavation of fortifications on the reverse slope was also arranged by our commander. We only follow his instructions and will not accept your request!"

"Don't accept...?" The officer also started to get angry, which made Xu Bin notice his face - he looked to be in his 30s.

"Ahem, you two should just quiet down for a moment." Xu Bin cleared his throat and stepped forward to stop this meaningless dispute.

Waving to Garland, Xu Bin asked her to return to her post.

A breeze blew, and suddenly only the officer and I were left on the hill...

"You are Mr. Xu, the boss of PMC, right?" The officer relaxed his expression, turned around and said:

"I am Captain Belik, the commander of the 21rd Company of the 3st Battalion..."

"Why didn't you follow the instructions I gave you a few days ago to dig fortifications, but instead went to the south side of the mountain to dig foxholes? Are you dissatisfied with my command?"

He spoke very politely, and the reason was simple - the instructions conveyed by the General Staff were to "'assign' tasks to PMCs", and the troops and PMCs could "communicate and learn" from each other, but in principle they would not interfere with each other's command.

In other words, the security company and you have a cooperative relationship between Party A and Party B, rather than a hierarchical subordinate relationship, so Captain Belik has no authority to command the other party at all.

Xu Bin did not want to be aggressive, so he shook his head slowly: "Captain Belik, I know you have received systematic military education, but if what I heard is correct, the textbooks used in your military academy are too old, right?"

"Textbooks, we..." These words seemed to have hit his heart, and Captain Belik suddenly fell silent.

That's right, in Akstan, the textbooks used in military academies are still those from the last century. The core content is mainly focused on "mechanized warfare", and it does not thoroughly study "asymmetric warfare" where the weak defeats the strong. As for informationized and unmanned warfare... it is even less mentioned.

These textbooks were compiled by the Saudi Arabian Federation, which claimed to be the "second in the world", after the dissolution of the old alliance. At that time, the relationship between the two countries was still friendly, so "military mutual assistance" in this regard was often given.

After the outbreak of World War III, Akstan's experts carefully studied the Eastern Front campaign in Europe, but found that the Shalian League's tactics were no longer applicable...

——The books are full of exaggerations, such as deep penetration, large encirclement, and large penetration, but they have all become flashy tricks. As soon as your armored forces gather together, other people's reconnaissance equipment will know, and then the fast-reacting artillery will use terminal-sensitive shells, high-precision guided shells, etc. to beat you up. In many cases, your steel torrent is gone before the air force appears...

Realizing that their tactics were backward, the Akstanese wanted to send students abroad to learn about informationized warfare and asymmetric warfare. Unfortunately, no country's military academy was willing to accept them. The reason was simple - Akstan had close relations with the Saudi Federation.

The friendship between the Eagle Federation and the Sand Federation did not seem to be as good as the newspapers said. It had repeatedly given the Sand Federation a thumbs up and said, "Don't doubt yourself, my good bear! This strategy is right, even we are doing it! The reason why you are struggling must be that there are too many traitors around. Come on, let us send an intelligence officer in to help you find them..."

In this way, Eagle Sauce feeds the Teddy Bear, and after the Teddy Bear eats...it poops out and gives it to Akstan to eat.

Captain Belik was really at a loss. He could only think of digging trenches on the slope, deploying his troops, and working with the infantry to use blood and flesh to block the enemy's attack - after all, compared with the Sand Union, his side did not even have the capital to develop an "armored torrent", so the tactics taught in the military academy were naturally useless.

"Then what use can your fortifications have?" he asked.

Xu Bin waved his hand and said, "Come on, let's go to the reverse slope. Let me tell you about the solution I'm about to apply..."
