Chapter 170 Marching into the Kingdom of Somalia, the Restoration Plan Begins
After reaching an agreement with the Solomon Islands government.
Jiang Feng ordered the registration of a company in the capital of Sog, namely Anna Principality Investment Co., Ltd., to hold a controlling stake in the restoration project.
The joint venture bank injected capital into the company.
Initial investment of $1 million!
Used to pay rent for the [Duchy of Anna] territory, donate supplies to the Kingdom of So, and help the government strengthen its military power.
Lambert led his team to Solomon!
Including 10 Navy SEALs
There are also 30 relatively young elites.
Traveling aboard Il-476 and carrying a large amount of equipment, they arrived in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, to protect the company's security.
Furthermore, they secretly assisted the government in training military and police personnel!
Gathering intelligence
Bribing eyeliners
Recruiting employees
Secret surveillance
Elite Russian ground maintenance engineers and pilots also traveled to Somalia to study drone tactics.
Furthermore, it undertakes all air transport tasks!
500 light FPV drones
100 heavy-duty agricultural drones
10 large jammers
50 small jammers
50 Starlink satellite network terminals
...
They will be put to the test in real combat in Somalia!
According to the cooperation agreement, at the request of the Solomon Islands government, the Anna Principality Project provided them with the first batch of aid:
100 AWM sniper rifles
100 Barrett sniper rifles
200 MG240 light machine guns
3000 AK103 automatic rifles
100 RPG-7B rocket launchers
2000 anti-tank rocket grenades
A quantity of bullets (50 tons)
Worth tens of millions of dollars, with follow-up items including light armored vehicles, older second-hand tanks, howitzers, and other military vehicles.
Help the Solomon Islands government enhance its strength!
The POBC (All-Russian Army Union) also received a personal invitation from Anna, asking them to send people to Somalia.
POBC royalist members responded enthusiastically.
Approximately 200 combatants went.
Therefore, there are a total of 250 combat personnel under Jiang Feng's command throughout the entire country, including the drone team.
They cooperated with the official armed forces.
Vigorously eradicate extremist armed groups!
Frequent drone strikes —
bombing vehicles
bombing stronghold
bombers
With the system intelligence provided by Jiang Feng and the intelligence that Lambert and his team found on their own, their combat record was extremely impressive!
Jiang Feng also reviewed the combat video—
[Attack Vehicle]
Reconnaissance drone locks onto target vehicle
Suicide FPV drones chased after it
Boom~
An FPV drone carrying a bomb crashed into an off-road vehicle and exploded violently, turning the vehicle into scrap metal!
[Attack the stronghold]
Heavy agricultural drones and modified bombing drones, upon receiving enemy intelligence, immediately took off with missiles.
They flew to the secret training grounds of extremist groups.
A large number of armed personnel have been discovered!
He decisively dropped a 5kg homemade bomb.
Boom~
Multiple extremist militants were eliminated on the spot!
The most impressive thing about drones is their precision; they can even fly into houses and self-destruct, and they are also very easy to operate.
The extremist militants were completely overwhelmed!
They kept retreating.
Exit the city.
Seeing the powerful forces behind the "Duchy of Anna," the government of the Solomon Islands also resolved to strengthen cooperation.
Actively advance negotiations on leasing the "territory".
Jiang Feng was very satisfied with this!
All combat personnel will receive double pay plus bonuses; in addition to their regular salaries, the Principality of Anna will provide an extra payment.
For example, Lambert's team of elite Navy SEALs had a base monthly salary of $10,000, which is now $20,000, plus subsidies and bonuses for each mission.
Free medical care for injuries, and wages are paid normally.
Disability compensation of over $100 million!
The death benefits are over $300 million!
Russian ground maintenance workers and pilots can also receive double their monthly salary, more than $10,000 or even more than $20,000. Those who research drone technology can also receive bonuses.
With such generous treatment.
How could they not risk their lives?
Loyalty! (T～T)ゞ
Anna was in charge of managing POBC's funds.
Average monthly salary: $4000
It's far less than the wages of Jiang Feng's employees, but far higher than Russian wages, and even higher than being a mercenary.
This led to some members of the POBC who were not originally royalists beginning to turn into "royalists".
We'd go through fire and water for you, Your Majesty!
(→_→)
Some members of the "royalist" faction, who had already pledged allegiance to Anna, began to side with Jiang Feng and longed to become full-time employees.
After all, POBC members are temporary workers.
The same job, but the pay is so different.
Less than a third of the salary!
However, only a small percentage of the members in the POBC were willing to support Anna. The vast majority were not interested and even opposed Anna's restoration, believing it to be a publicity stunt.
But Boris, Viktor, Sergei, and Valery missed the Tsarist era. After all, during the Tsarist rule, Russia expanded from a small corner of the country to the largest area in the world, and even defeated Napoleon, which was more in line with their ideals!
Of course, these people's ancestors were nobles, and they had a special feeling for Tsarist Russia, and were psychologically inclined towards Tsarist Russia.
As long as Anna's restoration succeeds—
They have rendered meritorious service in supporting the emperor!
Then, you'll be granted official titles and ranks, and you'll have status, fame, and wealth—all in one go! You'll easily reach the pinnacle of life.
Therefore, the representatives of these "royalist" forces actively recruited more POBC friends to jointly restore the monarchy!

Boris met with two Russian officers from the POBC who were "republican" inclinations, promoted the prospects of the Principality of Anna, and persuaded them to bring their men to participate in the restoration plan and support Anna's restoration.
“Vasily, Bykov, you must believe me. The success rate of this restoration is very high. Grand Duchess Anna has the support of Western capital, as well as energy tycoons and technology giants.”
"Their drone tactics are very impressive, and they have already achieved quite good results in Somalia!"
"The Solomon Islands government's willingness to cooperate is firm."
"The terms for leasing the territory have been agreed upon!"
"If you join now, you will definitely not lose out, really, believe me, okay? I swear on my integrity."
"The casualties will definitely be very small."
"The danger is under control!"
Boris made a solemn and earnest promise.
however
Vasily made no attempt to hide his skepticism: "How much damage can drones do? They might be okay against extremists, but what about regular armed groups with tanks and artillery? Can they win? I'm not willing to be cannon fodder for others."
Bykov shook his head, his face full of apology:
“Boris, although I really want to support you, I can’t risk my men’s lives with you.”
"The situation in Sog is not that simple—"
You've seen Black Hawk Down, right?
"The militants here are not to be trifled with!"
"I'm worried about the casualties..."
"I don't want everyone to take risks."
They were highly skeptical of the authenticity or actual effectiveness of [drone tactics], did not believe that drones would have much impact on the battlefield situation, and did not take it to heart at all.
Facing heavy artillery
Facing tanks
Armored fighting vehicles
Self-propelled artillery
How effective can drones be?
(￣へ￣)
They were unwilling to send their brothers to the battlefield as cannon fodder, even if the pay was high!
