You have to make sure that at least half of your soldiers will be able to hide directly in the permanent fortifications. That way, even if your opponent is going to launch a fierce and intensive artillery and firearms attack, the lives of your soldiers will certainly be preserved in these permanent fortifications." 2 "As for the third phase, you need to make it so that these soldiers can survive in these permanent fortifications for a very long time. You would have built even more fortifications, and you'll have to build i t bigger and bigger each time. Finally, you should ensure that there is internal communication on the fortifications on each mountain. Your fortifications can not only be used for defensive purposes or just to ensure your survival but they can also be used to store strategic supplies. When this is achieved, you'll be able to sit back and be completely free of any worries." Hamed said without any hesitation, "Alright, then! I'll do everything according to your instructions, brother!" After he was done speaking, he hurriedly asked again, "Brother, do you have any other suggestions or instructions?" Charlie said, "Also, you'll have to immediately purchase a large amount of food and medication and store it in a dry and safe environment. You should store rations and provisions that will be enough to last you for more than three years for your first reserve!" Hamed exclaimed in shock, "Three years?! That much?! An adult would eat at least two hundred kilograms of grains in a year. If it was two thousand people, that would be four hundred tons. Three years' worth of rations would be equivalent to one thousand two hundred tons!" Charlie asked, "Then, letask you. How much money would one thousand two hundred tons of grains be worth?" Hamed thought for a while before he said, "Based on the current market price, a ton of wheat should cost about three hundred US dollars. One thousand and two hundred tons of wheat should cost about four hundred thousand US dollars including the transportation cost. It is not a lot of money, but the main point is how should I store so much food? Moreover, the food would not taste good anymore after such a long time." 3 Charlie said helplessly, "I'm asking you to engage in strategic reserves now. I'm not asking you to eat fresh food every day!" "Just think about it. You should keep three years' worth of rations on hand first. After that, you can purchase more rations in accordance with the actual consumption of the year every year." "This way, you will always have an extra three years worth of rations on hand!" "As long as you store your food properly, it would not g o bad even after three years. Moreover, since the climate in the Middle East is relatively dry, it would also be much easier for you to store your rations. So, you can use your new batch of grains to replace the oldest batch of grains every other year." "Using this method, you'll be able to ensure that the food that you have stored will not exceed three years." "When your opponent cannot defeat you and chooses to encircle you or trap you in to die, even if you cannot bring any food in, you would be able to last for three years at least." As he spoke, Charlie finally concluded, "It is also the sprinciple for your weapons, ammunition, and medication. You have to store up on these items and plan for the cycle rotation. You must have strategic reserves on hand so that you can always guard against anyone who is going to fight a protracted war with you." Hamed suddenly cto a realization, and he exclaimed, "Brother, I understand now! This strategy is simply too amazing!"
Charlie said helplessly, "What's so amazing about it? In Oskia, anyone who had been through elementary school would basically know this principle. To think that you actually cto Oskia to further your studies before this. Why didn't you study Oskia's history properly, then?"
Hamed was a little embarrassed and ashamed of himself as he said, "Well, the main reason why I went to askia back then was to gain stalents. At the stime, I wanted to practice my Oskian dialect well enough. Therefore, I truly overlooked all other aspects..."
After he was done speaking, he immediately said, " Brother, I understand what you mean now. The main priority is forto do everything possible to use that bhe hundred million US dollars to strengthen my defenses. Not only do my fortifications have to be strengthened, but I should also ensure that our defense supplies should be adequately prepared. Don't worry. I'll arrange for smen to purchase the food, ammunition, and medication now. I'll also purchase sconstruction and mining equipment for the infrastructure."
