"What is the current progress of the transformation and upgrading of the M1A1 Abrams main battle tank by your General Logistics Department? I plan to equip two armored divisions in Africa, all using this American-made main battle tank, are there any logistical problems? Wu Chen asked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The U.S. government sold a total of 4,000 Abrams main battle tanks to mercenaries, which are all first-generation old tanks, without depleted uranium armor, and the fire control system and electronic equipment are also backward.

"I can guarantee that there is no problem at all, as of now, the Ukolan base alone has successfully upgraded 1,000 Abrams main battle tanks, replaced the earliest 1005 mm rifled guns with 120 mm smoothbore guns, installed the commander's independent observer, laser rangefinder and thermal imaging observer, and replaced depleted uranium armor and ceramic armor, which are implemented according to the American M1A2 main battle tank standards."

"The Maleshev plant and the Kharkiv Machine-Building Plant have fully mastered the production process of the Abrams main battle tank and the Leopard 2A4 main battle tank, and have a large number of tank parts and components, even if the United States and Germany interrupt the supply of spare parts, we don't have to worry about it at all." Miles said confidently.

Wu Chen has purchased so many main battle tanks, not to pull them down with scrap, but to let these excellent main battle tanks serve the mercenary corps for a long time, especially for the second-line corps.

Therefore, he spent a huge amount of money to directly ask the tank production base to thoroughly understand the technology and produce a large number of vulnerable standard parts, unless the main body is finished, the rest of the parts can be repaired and replaced at any time, which is very meaningful in the long run.

"Boss, the design scheme of the Megalodon-class battleship has been completed, basically using the Iowa class battleship as a reference, the body of the ship is HSLA-100 steel, the deck is nickel-chromium and titanium alloy steel, and it is equipped with nine 406 mm semi-automatic loading naval guns, firing two shells per minute with a range of 45 kilometers, and twelve 127 mm high-level dual-purpose guns with a range of 15.2 kilometers."

"The displacement of this class of battleships has reached 65,000 tons, the length is 305 meters, the width is 45 meters, the computer is automatically operated, the establishment is 1,200 people, equipped with the Sea Spirit combat system, the power adopts two A4W pressurized water reactors, four steam turbine drives, four axles and two main rudders, and the speed is 35 knots, which is the same as the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier."

"There are two missile vertical launch bays in the front and rear, and each missile launch bay has 22 eight-mounted vertical launch systems, which can carry 176 anti-aircraft missiles, anti-ship missiles, or cruise missiles, and these more than 300 missiles are almost another arsenal ship."

"Four triple torpedo launchers are installed on the deck, four Phalanx close defense systems and two Kashtan artillery air defense systems are installed, the firepower is very strong, and the helicopter platform can accommodate two Sea Falcon anti-submarine helicopters." Navy Commander Denis opened his laptop and explained the simple blueprint.

When the high-level people present heard these terrifying data, they suddenly had a sense of enlightenment, and when they first heard the boss say that they wanted to build battleships, everyone felt puzzled, what age is this, and why do you want to make such an old-fashioned thing?

The shipyard is the mercenary army's own assets, and there is no profit at all, including labor and material costs, including weapons and electronic equipment, and it costs at least $1.5 billion to build a ship, which is not a small amount.

However, judging from the concept of the ship design institute, this new type of battleship in the 21st century is also a first-class mobile maritime missile arsenal, which not only has the function of close support, but also has the ability of long-range strike, and has anti-ship, anti-submarine and anti-aircraft capabilities.

Think about it, an arsenal ship with a missile battleship and a stealth drive, the saturation strike capability of more than a thousand missiles, even cruisers and destroyers equipped with the Aegis combat system are powerless, this is the ultimate killer to destroy the aircraft carrier fleet!

"Very good, notify the shipyard to start manufacturing immediately, and the St. Petersburg Northern Shipyard, the Black Sea Shipyard, the Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard and the Liuyi Shipyard will be responsible for the speed of four ships in batches every two years, and all of them will be completed within six years, and the number will be increased according to the situation." Wu Chen made a decision.

"Boss, the Air Force Strategic Planning Department has made a report, requiring the manufacture of 2,000 sets of sniper targeting pods, and at the same time upgrading all fighters except for the Haidongqing and Shield Guardian types, so that they have over-the-horizon combat capabilities, and more than 16,000 medium- and long-range air-to-air missiles and air-to-surface missiles are required."

"The production department of Haidongqing Aerospace Manufacturing Company needs $2 billion for the initial budget for the sniper targeting pod, $4.8 billion for 16,000 missiles, and $2 billion for upgrading electronic equipment, for a total of $8.8 billion." Air Force Commander Hua De said with some embarrassment.

In peacetime, the army and the air force are suspicious of the navy spending a lot of money, but the army and the air force are also a lot of money, not to mention how amazing the cost of refitting and transforming the tens of thousands of tanks is, just this second-hand fighter upgrade will cost 8.8 billion US dollars, and it can manufacture 100 Haidongqing-1 all-weather heavy stealth fighters, which is really not a small price.

"Look, we are now making more money and spending more, just the upgrade of fighter over-the-horizon combat will cost 8.8 billion US dollars, and what about other projects, as well as strategic bombers and early warning aircraft, how much should it cost? After all, these aircraft are not backward models at the moment, and their combat effectiveness is barely reasonable, otherwise it would be difficult for me to make up my mind, well, I approve it! "Wu Chen feels a little toothache, and the money is not enough to spend!

Huade and a group of high-level officials almost vomited blood when they heard this, the F-15 Eagle fighter and the F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter are the absolute main force of the US Air Force, in Wu Chen's mouth, it is just reasonable, and the word reluctantly, the boss's vision is not ordinarily high, his goal is on the fifth-generation fighter, and he is naturally not interested in the fourth-generation fighter.

"Boss, our Condor 1 propeller fighter has been designed by the Aviation Design Institute, and according to your requirements, even the test aircraft has been built six of them, and they are currently undergoing intense sea trials, you will definitely like this news." Huade hurriedly began to offer treasures.
