The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family



After entering the tunnel, there were about a dozen square meters of internal space which was connected to electric lights, and a ventilation pipe was connected from the entrance of the tunnel directly into the interior, thus constantly sending fresh air into the interior.

Upon entering, Hamed introduced to Charlie, "We are currently fully excavating a large number of hidden fortifications and tunnels. It will not be long before all these tunnels will be directly connected to one another. Even if it cannot all be fully connected, at the very least, the ventilation, water supply, and power supply will be opened up first. After that, we will continue improving the internal environment and strive to make the tunnels more livable!" 2

Charlie nodded slightly and said, "I can see that all of your buildings in the valley have already basically been flattened. Do you have any plans for such a large space?" 2

"How can I have any plans?" Hamed said, "As soon as the opponent starts firing, the artillery will hide the valley first. The mouth of the valley is originally big with a small surface area. So, it will definitely be the best target for artillery, and there is basically no practical use for it."

Charlie said, "I suggest that you demolish all the houses and remove all of the construction wastes. After that, you can dig five to six meters deep rectangular pits to store water. Since it is the rainy season now, you can then use these reservoirs to store a large amount of fresh water. After that, you can find a way to put a cover over it to reduce evaporation.

That way, even if you are still besieged during the dry season, you will not have to worry about running out of water."

The Middle East was relatively arid and hot. Moreover, the rainy season in Syria was not long. As soon as the rainy season had passed, fresh water resources would not be said to be very scarce, but they were still relatively precious.

Charlie was not worried that Hamed would be taken out by his opponent now, but Charlie was more or less worried that Hamed's opponent would surround him completely by forming a long siege and a situation where Hamed would be surrounded for a long time without fighting.

In truth, the easiest method that Charlie could think of to deal with Hamed would be for the opponent to deploy troops to cut off Hamed's connection with the outside world completely from both the sea and land lines. 2

It would be particularly necessary to cut off all means of entry and access to any supplies or materials so that Hamed would not be able to get any supplies

from the outside world.

This way, Hamed would then have to consume his own strategic reserves until it was completely depleted.

Food and ammunition were relatively easy to store. In a place like the Middle East, it would not be a big problem to look for a dry and dark environment to store food and ammunition stably for two or three years.

However, it would not be easy to conserve a large amount of fresh water resources.

It would not be a big problem to store bottled drinking water, but it would be difficult to guarantee water that was generally used for daily living.

Groundwater resources were generally not abundant, and in the case of another dry season, there might not be rain for several months. In that case, the groundwater resources would also be greatly affected.

Therefore, if the base wanted to ensure the normal usage of water, they would then have to transport water from outside.

But as soon as the enemy cut off the

traffic, they would not be able to effectively replenish their water resources. When several thousand people start lacking water, their morale would definitely continue declining until they eventually fell apart. 2

Thus, this was the reason why Charlie was suggesting for Hamed to think of a way to carry out some water storage project. 2

When Charlie saw that Hamed had

not figured it out yet, Charlie said, "Anyway, your base has already been bombed out of shape now. Since the enemy's artillery is sq

fierce there is no way for you

to

reactivate your base. So, it would definitely be better for you to dig a pit to start storing water so that you can make some first-hand

preparations for the future."

"Furthermore, you do not need to be afraid of bombing the deep pit reservoir. Even if the water is turned into mud, it can still be reserved for daily usage after the precipitation, primary filtration, and sterilization."

When Hamed heard this, he said in agreement," Brother, that's a good idea! I'll arrange for one to two hundred men to start working on it tomorrow!"

Charlie nodded. After that, he suddenly remembered something, and he asked Hamed, "By the way,. Brother, heard that the reason why Ten Thousand Armies collaborated with the government is because they will gain the approval to buil@a mercenary base in Syria after eliminating the opposition forces. I wonder if that's true?"

Hamed asked in extreme amazement, "Brother, I just heard about this news last night. How did you find out about this?" 6
