Mercenaries, I Will Be King Chapter 1253 - 1086: Everything Under Control3

In the northwest and southwest regions, there are dozens of tribal militia organizations of various sizes.

Most of these tribal militias operate independently like local kings; they were previously not very eager to unite against the 1515 Ard, because the 1515's main focus was never these remote areas, but rather the prosperous Baghdad and the more eastern port cities.

Things are different now.

Even these relatively barren territories are being targeted, especially the northwest region, where oil fields are located, making them the easiest target for the 1515 Ard.

Thus, if they don't act correctly every ti, these small tribal militia organizations, which previously thought they could protect themselves by staying out of the fray, will soon face big trouble.

Everything unfolded just as Song Heping anticipated.

A few days later, Samir excitedly approached Song Heping, who was observing shooting training, with an uncontrollable excitent on his face: "Boss! Good news! Great news!"

"Speak."

Song Heping signaled him to calm down, and they walked to the side.

"The information we previously distributed through various channels is working! In the northwest of Illiguo, several tribal militia organizations that were previously crushed by the 1515 and nearly exterminated, as well as so small units scattered after the forr governnt army collapsed, their leaders have contacted to inquire if they can join the 'Liberation Forces' to jointly fight against the 1515!"

Samir waved his arms enthusiastically, "I've done an initial screening and tally. Those who have shown strong interest and have so strength combined could exceed four to five thousand people! And I believe the numbers will increase in the coming period!"

Song Heping's face showed little surprise, as all this was within his expectations and plans.

With the CIA network suffering a catastrophic blow, the 1515, in an effort to consolidate its rule and eliminate any threats, is inevitably resorting to more ruthless suppression and cleansing of any unstable elents. These local ard groups, already struggling to survive under heavy pressure, are the first to face the onslaught.

They are faced with a desperate choice—either be completely wiped out or absorbed by the 1515, or they must find a sufficiently powerful force capable of sheltering them and standing against the 1515.

And the "Liberation Forces," which just caused the almighty CIA a major setback and seems to have strong backing from Persia, has undeniably beco the most attractive beacon in the current darkness.

"Tell them that we welco all brave warriors truly willing to fight against the 1515."

Song Heping said in a deep voice, his gaze far-reaching.

"From now on, as long as they are from the northwest of Illiguo, any ard organization or tribal militia genuinely coming to join us, we will accept them."

Samir nodded repeatedly, barely able to contain his excitent: "I understand! I understand! This is a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity! We will soon beco the most powerful force in the northwest!"

"However, Samir."

Song Heping's tone shifted, his eyes becoming as sharp as a knife, his voice cold, "Passion shouldn't cloud your judgnt. The faster the expansion, the greater the risk. You must rember, among these people, there is a mix of good and bad. We can't rule out the possibility of new spies sent by the CIA after losing its network, informants and moles planted by the 1515, or even spies from other regional forces. We must establish the strictest screening and control chanisms."

Samir, as if doused with a bucket of cold water, quickly cald down and humbly asked for guidance: "What should we do? We will follow your lead."

Song Heping's thinking was clear and ruthless, demonstrating his superior stratagems and caution: "First, all teams that co to join us, regardless of size, must be broken up and allowed to enter our controlled areas in batches. Absolutely no collective integration to prevent them from becoming too powerful to manage or even turning against us suddenly. Second, once they arrive, imdiately dismantle their original formations and integrate them into our existing troops under the leadership of our core veterans and Naxin's political commissar for unified managent and retraining. Third, background checks must imdiately follow. Naxin's political departnt will utilize all ans to ticulously verify the background of every leader, every team captain, and even every soldier who seems suspicious. If there's any doubt, better to suspect wrongly than to trust wrongly. If confird to be spies, decisive asures will be taken to deal with them."

"Understood!" Samir nodded solemnly: "I will work with Naxin to carefully develop a reception and restructuring plan to ensure that we sift out the sand and keep only the gold, ensuring the purity and loyalty of our forces."

"When will the first group arrive?" Song Heping asked.

"In three days." Samir said: "But without our assistance, they can't cross the border, so we're going to cross over to the northwest side to bring them in."
