Chapter 1083: Chapter 352: What! We’ve Finally Reached the Honey Trap?_2

As someone working in the relevant industry, she is very familiar with the logic these companies operate on.

Friends, partners — only money is real.

However, besides the production line, drug production faces two major challenges: raw materials and production techniques. For the latter, relevant data can be retrieved from the old web, or even exchanged with "people," while the former requires more brainstorming.

The little teacher scratched her head, looking quite silly, unable to figure these things out, so she chose not to think about them.

"Right, how are those villagers settled now? Take me to see them."

"Huh? Um!"

She responded only after hearing Gloria’s question.

"They are outside. Most have been arranged to help with unloading at the docks." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Normally, it’s hard to convince farmers to abandon their land and find another place to survive, but since the land around the village doesn’t belong to them, and even the tobacco they plant can’t be eaten, rounds of blows have shattered their so-called attachment to the land, leading them to move without hesitation.

Upon arriving at the shore, there were medical check-ups and accommodations arranged, with players looking for side quests hovering around, making these Cubans who had suffered half their lives feel uneasy.

When they knew the "leader" of these people was coming to see them, the elder leading the villagers immediately brought them over to greet.

"Great, kind Holy Mother Mary..."

Maria...?

A question mark floated above Gloria’s forehead.

"Old sir, just call me Gloria."

The elder shook his head repeatedly, not daring to address her by her name.

"You and your angels saved us from the devils, gave us accommodations and food, truly have no idea how to thank you."

These people are very kind to the villagers, he gradually understood why these people came to Cuba; whether to believe it or not, they had no other choice.

"Don’t say that."

Affected by the players, Gloria’s demeanor has changed considerably compared to a year ago; she looked at the little boy named Sanchez next to the elder.

"We are the ones who dragged you into this; if it weren’t for us..."

The elder interrupted her.

"No, no, it’s the devils who harmed them, not you."

"If there’s anything we can do, please just instruct us."

Whether hypocritical or genuine, the elder adopted a willing-to-comply attitude which made Gloria sigh inwardly; she slowly said.

"Please be assured, we are not robbers; the equipment in the village is only temporarily requisitioned, it still counts as village property and belongs to you.

In a while, we will reorganize the production line here; the villagers are skilled workers, hope by then you can cooperate with us to resume production promptly. At that time, fifty percent of the factory’s profits will be distributed as wages to the villagers..."

"Of course."

The elder bowed his head quickly to agree, but when he looked up, Gloria had already walked far away.

Looking at her distant back, and recalling what Gloria said — requisition rather than plunder, and promises to share profits...

"These are indeed strange people... are they really guerrillas?"

Little did he know, Gloria, who had just spoken to him, was about to use Hokuma Village and these people as cards in a public opinion war.

Frontline

On a hillside less than ten kilometers from the firefight line.

The command group that had arrived in Cuba was using drones to observe all movements around here.

"Ah, being here on site is indeed different."

The Commander-in-Chief clicked his tongue in wonder.

"Some things you really can’t tell just from looking at the map."

Even if you watch a hundred times while gaming, a streamer or map explanation can’t match personal field runs.

Knowing there’s a strategic point somewhere doesn’t help.

Attack — from which direction minimizes the area of attack?

Retreat — which route is most concealed?

When to relocate, when the enemy might appear at certain places, from which directions one can reach the intercept position fastest — all require considerable familiarity with the map and site to make judgments.

Otherwise, jokes like advancing machine gun positions by five meters emerge.

"Their defenses are growing increasingly rigorous."

Wildman remarked.

"Our recent organized raids have yielded little; these people are like iron tortoises, shrunk together, filled with drones and special operations squads everywhere. Approaching from any direction gets detected, and artillery welcomes you the moment you show up."

"This is typical NATO defense position deployment; the area is divided into front depth. Judging by their self-propelled artillery’s range, the depth should cover about 30 kilometers."

Sitting in Cyberspace, Family Joy watched through seventy to eighty drone views and recent battle analysis, and smirked.

"Looks like they’re sticking to Cold War tactical systems. Not only do you want to go over; they want to come over and make trouble too."

"If I’m right, beyond this depth, moving forward will encounter their cover reconnaissance armor unit, at least a company and surely several tanks; our drones can’t fly there."

Based on the simulation by Family Joy and referencing all battle data from the Four Company Wars, although this world seems to have had many wars, with tech leapfrogging, featuring weapons like lunar railguns and space fleets, operational tactics remain in the same old ways.
