With the start of construction of the new warships, the top level of the naval command believes that the three Kirov-class nuclear-powered missile cruisers, the Admiral Ushakov, the Admiral Lazaev, and the Admiral Nasimov, the three Glorious-class conventionally powered missile cruisers, the Glory, the Ukraine, and the Marshal Ustinov, and the eight modern-class missile destroyers Steadfast, Inspiring, Stormy, Guided, Excellent, Meticulous, Dreadnought, and Invincible, have the potential to continue to upgrade and renovate and install the Sea Elf combat system.

For example, two Kara-class anti-submarine cruisers and two Krivac-class missile frigates, because they have been in service for too long, the electronic and weapon equipment on them are outdated, and the hull is very old, there is no value in refitting.

The United States sold 12 Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers and 6 Burke-class destroyers to the mercenary corps, which belong to the latest type of main warships of the Navy, and there are 24 Perry-class frigates, 16 Spruance-class destroyers, and 3 Wasp-class amphibious assault ships.

The Navy Command's suggestion is that it is better to dispose of these four warships of the former Soviet Union at a low price, and the crews on them can be transferred to work on the new warships, so as to save manpower and material resources, and see a return money.

"The age of these four warships is very long, the Kara-class has reached twenty years, it is not easy to find a suitable buyer, African countries cannot afford it, Middle Eastern countries are too lazy to buy, and Southeast Asian countries want to buy it without money, which is really sad enough." After Wu Chen received a call from Jennis, he agreed with this suggestion.

"Marcas proposed to sell it publicly, it is estimated that the final buyer must be India, and only this country is willing to spend money to buy second-hand warships, and the price given is not low, we agree that the Kara-class missile cruisers with a displacement of 8,000 tons, each asking price of 1.5 billion US dollars is appropriate, and the Perry-class frigates of more than 3,000 tons have been sold for nearly 100 million US dollars!"

"Although the displacement of the Krivac-class missile frigate is only more than 3,000 tons, it has undergone a substantial modification by the former Soviet Union, has new radars and anti-ship missiles, and the price cannot be too low as that of the Perry-class frigate, so it is appropriate to consider 80 million US dollars." Denis said with a smile.

"The Navy now has enough large warships, and there is still a lack of a number of missile boats and minesweepers, and this money will be used to build small military ships, and you can watch and operate them yourself!" Wu Chen didn't bother to pay attention to it, but if he really wanted to sell it at this price, the Russians would cry.

According to Marcas, in terms of aircraft alone, there are more than 1,000 Mi-8 transport helicopters, more than 500 Mi-24 armed helicopters, more than 300 Su-24 fighters, and more than 100 MiG-29 fighters, some of which are from aircraft cemeteries and some from the Russian army.

That's not all, the Russian military is ready to hand over tens of thousands of T-72 and T-80 main battle tanks to him for refurbishment, and then sell them to those African and Middle Eastern countries at a very cheap price, only 100,000 dollars per main battle tank!

But the problem is, even if the price is distressing, it's better than wasting it in a tank graveyard, right? After the disarmament of the Russian army, the number of people was reduced by more than one million, and the weapons and equipment used by these people alone were enough to sell for several years.

"Boss, since this financial turmoil is exactly what you said, then this time we have a lot of capital, I have an idea, I want to form a local mercenary corps in Africa, and in the future, we can toss the places, that is, Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and South America, but the number of mercenaries is too small, and we are very disadvantaged in this regard."

"Recently, we are recruiting new players in Bangladesh, this matter has inspired me a lot, if you want to do it, you can simply make it bigger and directly upgrade to the corps level, anyway, now Russia has resources, and if you don't fish for nothing, you won't get it." Marcus called.

Naturally, this goods will not sell out all the good things, and his plan is to select those equipment that is in the best condition and have the shortest service life, and form two armored divisions in Africa within three to five years, equipped with 1,000 T-80 main battle tanks, equipped with Tunguska anti-aircraft missile launchers and anti-tank missile vehicles.

An air assault division will be formed, equipped with 300 Mi-8 transport helicopters, 300 Mi-24 armed helicopters, and 20 Mi-26 transport helicopters, equipped with portable anti-aircraft missiles and anti-tank missiles, to carry out rapid strikes.

Two squadrons of Su-24 fighters and two squadrons of MiG-29 fighters were formed, each squadron was equipped with twenty fighters, and each aircraft was left with a squadron number as an inventory to prevent aircraft damage and replenish it in time.

It is also necessary to buy a part of the BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles from the Russian military at a low price, plus a batch of BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles, equipped with 300 self-propelled guns and 300 BM-27 220 meters of multiple rocket launchers, to form a mechanized infantry division.

Why do you do this, Marcas has a strategic purpose, as Africa becomes more and more developed, mercenaries have to send people to the mining area, but in this way, the cost accounts for a large proportion, it is better to use the locals.

The standard for a mercenary is a guaranteed annual salary of $100,000, while the standard for a native African mercenary is $2,400 a year, almost 50 people per person.

Although most of these locals are uneducated, they are very loyal and obedient, and can be transferred to the battlefield in the event of a large-scale battle with the mercenary corps.

Marcas's idea was unanimously approved by the mercenary high-level leaders, the annual expenditure of feeding the four reinforced divisions is more than a billion dollars, which is not as large as the expenditure of an aircraft carrier fleet, but when the formation is completed, how effective will it be?

"Yes, you can ask Hunter to make a plan, and that's a good thing. At the end of the year, Russia will be caught in the whirlpool of financial turmoil, you can buy what you want, the former Soviet Union left Russia too many resources, those deserted military bases, there are a large number of idle equipment and no one cares, not only planes and tanks, but also brand new radars and anti-aircraft missiles, if you wait for ten or eight years, all of them will be scrapped. ”

"It is said that there are tens of thousands of intact infantry fighting vehicles, transport trucks, missile carriers and missile launchers, a large number of guns of various calibers, mortars, howitzers, rocket artillery and self-propelled guns, bullets, shells and rockets are piled up, and there are even finished missiles and spare parts without explosives, various types of steel and special metals, by the way, the Harrier-class ground effect aircraft will also be brought to me, and we will need this tactical aircraft in the future."

Wu Chen quickly approved this plan, he knew that this was the best time to build on the Russian economic downturn, and there was no strong recovery, if he waited until that strongman came to power, it was not that it could not be done, but it was not as convenient as it is now.
