Chapter 770: Post-War Reaction III

The United States and Europe have always had contradictions, during World War II, the United States contributed money, personnel and equipment to help Europe defeat Germany, and also prevented the threat of the former Soviet Union, but now there is no threat when the wind is calm, and this group of gentlemen in Europe cross the river to tear down bridges and unload mills and kill donkeys, unwilling to submit to the US government, the boss of NATO, and have been clamoring for the formation of a European independent defense system, led by Germany and France.

"Out of the strategic cooperation between traditional allies, our US government must not intervene in the war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which will cause great dissatisfaction among the EU countries, because the African continent is too rich in various resources, but the mercenaries want to eat alone, which will naturally cause public anger."

"Of course, the interests of our American companies in Africa have not suffered any damage because of the mercenary group's actions, which is a very smart approach, at least the mercenary group's actions against African countries will be supported by the American energy giants. The fewer opponents there are, the more resources will be allocated, and it's very simple. ”

"We can't let European countries drag the mercenaries down on the battlefield in the DRC, that would be even more unin our interests, the Golden Triangle Federation has just been established, and the financial resources can't be compared with these old industrial powers, but the war is money!"

"European countries can mobilize hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars to gamble on the resources and discourse of the African continent, the Golden Triangle Federation does not even have a fraction, and the little money earned is not enough to spend, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo is a notoriously underdeveloped country, which can affect the war situation." said the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

"Even if it once again pours resources to help, the United States will not let these European countries succeed, Ukolan is the key to preventing Russia from entering the Mediterranean, the current defense is all dependent on mercenaries, and there is only one army force left of itself, which is basically symbolic."

"If the mercenaries suffer heavy losses because of these European countries, it will inevitably cause strong dissatisfaction at the top, and the agreement between us is that the mercenaries must help NATO protect Ukolan and prevent Russia from advancing westward, but now it is a knife from within NATO, and I am worried that the mercenaries will form an alliance with Russia in anger."

"They don't have anything to lose, it's nothing more than a port, and they can also be used by both families, anyway, there is no conflict of interest, but in this way, NATO will be in trouble, the Russian fleet can drive straight into the Mediterranean, and we can't count on Turkey, a country, to help NATO stop the Russian navy." said the Minister of Defense.

Now Turkey has long lost its former prestige, and the dignified military power was actually beaten up by the Kurdish militia, and now it is the time when it does not know the southeast, northwest, and west, and is embarrassed, not only the European countries are full of contempt, but the US government is also too lazy to get close to such a country.

Besides, once Russia becomes tough, the Turkish government, which is similar to the two ends of the first rat, may not have the courage to engage in direct confrontation with Russia, and the typical wall-to-wall style, the strategic barrier of the Turkish Strait and the throat of the Black Sea, does not seem to play much significance.

"Now there is a crooked trend in the world, saying that the United States' scientific research capabilities and industrial strength have declined a lot compared with before, and the research and development of sophisticated weapons is not even as powerful as mercenary organizations such as mercenary regiments, which has led to a great obstacle to the export of our weapons and equipment; for this reason, not only has the market of Middle Eastern countries been lost, but now the traditional European market has also begun to turn to self-research and production, and domestic military enterprises have long been dissatisfied with this situation and are eager to find an opportunity to prove it." The president said lightly.

"For now, the war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the best opportunity to test the strength of the United States, first of all, it will be a war of one million people, perhaps lasting several months, and secondly, the two sides involved in the war are military powers, on the one hand, the mercenary corps supported by our US government, on the other hand, European countries, Japan and Indu, such a situation is rare in a century!"

"The Democratic Republic of the Congo is the second largest country in Africa, a vast and sparsely populated country, very suitable for mechanized troops to fight, a variety of army and air force equipment, can give full play to their power and gold content, mercenaries will even use the navy, block the transportation channels to the battlefield of various countries, and even launch cruise missiles to support the war." said the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

"We don't need to directly support the weapons and equipment of the mercenary corps, at present they have more equipment than us, but the technical content is far behind, and now it is the digital age, as long as the United States provides cutting-edge technical support and electronic equipment support, those weapons that we have retired or mothballed can play the maximum combat effectiveness."

"For example, to help them upgrade all the existing more than 6,000 MIAI/A2 main battle tanks to the latest digital tanks, as well as Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, and to upgrade their fighters and strategic bombers to the same level as the US military, in fact, this work began as early as last year."

"Since European countries are vigorously developing army equipment, especially main battle tanks, we need to help mercenaries upgrade all armed helicopters, reconnaissance helicopters and transport helicopters, especially air-to-surface missiles and anti-tank missiles, laser-guided missiles and laser-guided bombs that can destroy main battle tanks, etc., to show how the technical strength of the US military is." The Minister of Defense said proudly, full of confidence in this.

During the Kunashir Island military exercise last year, the US Government agreed to help the mercenary corps upgrade its air force equipment, including 368 F-15 Eagle fighters, 1,196 F-16 Fighting Falcon fighters, 520 A-10 Thunderbolt attack planes, 120 F-14 Tomcat fighters, 540 F-18 Hornet carrier-based aircraft, 30 F-117A Nighthawk fighter-bombers, 48 B-1B strategic bombers, and 301 B-52 strategic bombers.

The Air Force's technical department will carry out a comprehensive avionics system upgrade for these aircraft, replacing them with on-board active phased array radar, core computer modules, color liquid crystal displays, and a friend or foe identification system, which is planned to be completed within five years, and the project will cost tens of billions of dollars.

"Originally, the U.S. government was ready to reinforce the mercenary corps to avoid too heavy losses on the other side, which would affect the safety of Ukolan, and after more than a month of cleaning and counting, the number of four-wheel drive off-road vehicles, ammunition transport vehicles, heavy off-road trucks, support support vehicles, medical ambulances, road engineering vehicles, special vehicles and maintenance vehicles that need to be decommissioned and scrapped alone has reached more than 300,000!"

"The U.S. military is rapidly transforming into an information-based and digitized army, attrition and disarmament are a sure thing, these conventional equipment will be replaced more and more, and there is no problem in allocating two-thirds of the mercenary corps, and we charge $10,000 per vehicle as a fee."

"Bulletproof vests, infrared night vision devices, laser sights, and other night combat equipment can be used to produce 200,000 sets at a time, more than 10,000 sets of military power equipment, more than 60,000 sets of various surveillance equipment, including field camera equipment and induction equipment, and how many building materials for the Esker bulletproof wall are needed."

"Two Global Hawk unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and thirty sets of Predator UAVs, including mobile UAV ground stations, 2,000 Humvee M1114 armored vehicles, and 10,000 Humvee off-road vehicles equipped with improvised armor, winches and top weapon units. In addition, the 27 Sturgeon-class attack nuclear submarines and 20 Lafayette-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines gifted to the mercenary corps by the United States Government have completed simple repairs and are ready for delivery. "The director of the Logistics Directorate of the Ministry of Defense reported. 8)
