It is said that it is an office, but it is actually a larger tunnel.

Entering from the tunnel, there is about a dozen square meters of internal space inside, with electric lights inside, and a ventilation duct directly leads from the tunnel entrance to the inside, constantly sending air to the inside.

After entering, Hamid introduced to Ye Chen: "We are now fully digging a large number of hidden fortifications and tunnels. It won't take long to connect these tunnels. Even if they cannot be fully connected, at least they will first open up ventilation, water and power supply, and then continuously improve the internal environment and strive to make the tunnels more livable!"

Ye Chen nodded gently and said, "I see that the buildings in your valley have basically been blown up. Do you have any plans for such a big place?"

"What are the plans?" Hamid said: "Once the opponent starts to attack, the cannon will first hit the valley. The entrance of the valley is large and the bottom is small. It is the best target of the artillery, so it has no practical use."

Ye Chen said: "I suggest you just demolish all the houses, remove the construction waste, and then dig some rectangular pits five or six meters deep in place to store water. While it is rainy now, use these reservoirs to store a large amount of fresh water, and then find a way to add a lid on it to reduce evaporation. In this way, even if you are surrounded for a long time in the dry season, you don't have to worry about no water."

The Middle East is relatively dry and hot, and the rainy season in Syria is not long. Once the rainy season is over, although freshwater resources cannot be said to be very scarce, they are relatively valuable.

Ye Chen is not worried that Hamid will be taken away by his opponent, but he is a little worried that his opponent will encircle him in full, creating a situation where he will be surrounded for a long time without fighting.

In fact, for Ye Chen, the easiest way he could think of was to dispatch troops and completely cut off Hamid's connection with the outside world from the two lines of sea and land.

In particular, we must cut off all the ways to enter, so that Hamid cannot obtain any materials from the outside world.

In this way, Hamid could only consume his own reserves until he was exhausted.

Both food and ammunition are relatively easy to preserve. In places like the Middle East, it is not a big problem to find a dry and light-proof environment to store it safely for two or three years.

But only a large amount of freshwater resources are difficult to preserve.

It is not a big problem to use bottled water to store drinking water, but it is difficult to guarantee domestic water.

Groundwater resources are not sufficient. If there is no rain in the dry season again, the groundwater may be greatly affected for several months.

In that case, if the base wants to ensure normal use of water, it must be transported from the outside world.

But once the enemy cuts off traffic, freshwater resources cannot be effectively replenished. Once thousands of people are short of water, their morale will continue to decline until they collapse.

That's why Ye Chen suggested that Hamid could find a way to do some water storage project first.

Seeing that Hamid hadn't figured it out, Ye Chen said, "Anyway, your base has been blown up so badly, and the enemy's shelling firepower is very strong, and your base cannot be re-activated. It's better to dig a hole to store water and make more preparations for the future."

"Also, deep-dig reservoirs are not afraid of shelling. Even if the water turns into mud, it can still be left for daily use as long as it is precipitated and primary filtration, and then simply sterilized."

When Hamid heard this, he agreed and said, "Brother, you have a good idea! I will arrange one or two hundred people to start working tomorrow!"

Ye Chen nodded, and then he remembered something and asked Hamid: "By the way, brother, I heard that the reason why Wanlong Palace cooperated with the government forces is because after you purge you, you will be approved to build a mercenary base in Syria. I wonder if it is true or false?"
