Chapter 474: Beginning to Intervene

The Committee on Decolonization, as the highest branch of the General Assembly dealing with colonial legacies, had convened special sessions on matters relating to French Polynesia and New Caledonia. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The two permanent members, China and Russia, have harshly condemned the actions of the French government, urging the French government to immediately release the local leaders who have been imprisoned and placed under house arrest, to use negotiations to resolve the issue, and to decide the fate of the country by referendum.

But the French Government turned a deaf ear to the decision of the Decolonization Committee and refused to implement the circular, because there were still many people in the area who supported France as its suzerain, as in New Caledonia, where the ruling party had publicly stated that it would not break away from French rule, and the matter became tricky for the ruling party in French Polynesia.

"I announce that the Golden Triangle International Security Company has been commissioned by the opposition leader of New Caledonia Locke, and the leader of the opposition in French Polynesia, Temaru, to create a good and stable environment for the referendum...... the company will send security forces to two countries, the French garrison and the gendarmerie, must be withdrawn within a week, otherwise they will face the armed attack of the Golden Triangle International Security Company," Thompson announced at a press conference at his headquarters in the United States.

Thompson was not untargeted, he showed the news media the power of attorney of the two political parties, which were signed with the big seal and the fingerprint, and the signature on it was not one person, and the big seal was not the same party, and this was a joint commission.

"Could it be that France had a grudge against this mercenary organization in the last life, why do they have to intervene in everything, it's just a bunch of bastards!" Mr. President of France watched the TV and felt a toothache at the news.

With the world's largest mercenary organization openly muddying the waters, the fierce opposition of the Decolonization Committee, and the US government's covert petty actions, the two overseas territories have indeed become extremely dangerous.

"Isn't there a grudge, first of all, in the Algerian oil war, the foreign mercenary group killed a company, and that was more than a hundred lives! Followed by the Silver Triangle operation, the other side suffered more than 300 casualties, of which more than 200 were killed, as well as the sneak attack on the aircraft carrier, adding up to not retaliate against us! The French Prime Minister said nonchalantly.

"The military immediately sent reinforcements to New Caledonia and French Polynesia, with an elite rapid reaction division stationed in each place, we cannot afford to lose two overseas territories, that is a shame for France!" The president gave the order immediately.

"Mr. President, we are temporarily unable to reinforce the two overseas territories, the navy is blocked in the military port and cannot sail, once we reach the high seas, the other side is likely to launch a sneak attack, our air force transport planes were completely wiped out in the last air battle, and the troops cannot be reached by air." The Minister of Defense said with a wry smile.

"Then spend money to hire ships and planes, and use all forces to transport troops, and the two overseas territories have more than 3,000 troops and gendarmes each, and they can't resist the attack of the mercenary corps." The president's determination is great.

"It's not realistic, no shipping company or airline from any country will risk a mercenary attack to help us transport our troops, and if we are targeted by the other side's navy and air force, our army will be devastated." The Minister of Defense categorically disagreed.

On the shore of the Norfolk Naval Base in the United States, two Forrestal-class aircraft carriers and two Iowa-class battleships have completed a three-month modernization and are preparing to set sail for the Cam Ranh Bay Naval Base. This large-scale upgrade is equivalent to giving four old warships more than 50 years old a new lease of life and being able to serve for at least 20 years.

In the hands of the mercenary corps navy, the two battleships are definitely going to fight, and the US Navy has also poured a lot of resources into this, giving all the various materials prepared for the battleships in the past to the mercenary corps, and there are more than 12,000 shells for the main guns alone.

After round-the-clock refitting by the naval department, the two battleships retained nine 406-mm naval guns, firing two shells per minute at a range of forty-two kilometers. Twelve 127-mm high-level dual-purpose guns with a range of 15.2 kilometers were retained, which was also the main weapon that Wu Chen needed.

The Iowa-class battleships are huge, nearly 60,000 tons of steel behemoths, and the length has reached more than 270 meters.

The battleship uses the world's most advanced U.S. Navy Aegis combat system, and its various radar and sonar devices are exactly the same as those of the Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers, including computers, monitors and other equipment.

Two missile vertical launch bays are installed at the front and rear, and each missile launch bay has 16 seats and eight vertical launch systems, which can carry 122 anti-aircraft missiles or cruise missiles.

Two quadruple Harpoon anti-ship missile launchers, four triple torpedo launchers, and six phalanx close defense systems are installed.

The U.S. government and military were well aware of the mercenary group's intentions, and the reason why they bought these two battleships was to compete with France for control of overseas territories, so this time they did not hesitate to spend a huge price to install everything that could be installed, and returned eight Seahawk anti-submarine helicopters.

The two aircraft carriers, the Forrest and the Assault, were converted faster, in fact, they had already been completed, except for the replacement of the C-13 steam catapult with the C-13-1 steam catapult, the overall did not make much changes, and the bore of the two catapults is the same.

The rest of the modification work is mainly the repair and maintenance of the power system, and a large amount of electronic equipment is installed on it, including the radar, electronic warfare system, and combat system of the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

These two aircraft carriers and two battleships were followed by four supply ships and two transport ships, the first four of which were the world's most famous Sacramento-class comprehensive supply ships, with a full load displacement of more than 50,000 tons and equipped with a phalanx close defense system and anti-aircraft missiles.

With the frantic expansion of the strength of the US Navy, comprehensive supply ships are naturally also the top priority, and twelve of them were ordered at one time, and four old supply ships that have been in service for up to 30 years were given to the mercenary corps. The other two transport ships were specialized in transporting heavy oil, old antiques towed from the reserve fleet, but in very good condition.
