Chapter 477: Fleet Deterrence II
France is a military power in the world, although it was defeated badly in World War II, but the number and gold content of today's equipment can still be compared with Britain and Germany, and it is taking the road of independent innovation, and the combat capability of the army is very strong. Pen %fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info Now that both sides are going to war, why are the French still so polite?
The reason is very simple, this negotiation is related to vital interests, if the negotiation is not reached, the mercenary corps will attack next, the mercenary corps is unwilling to fight, this is the last resort, and the French army also does not want to fight.
The armies of Western countries, without the spirit and courage of the armies of the Eastern countries to fight to the end, can easily choose to surrender when encountering force majeure, and there are countless such examples, for these people, the value of life is above all else.
This has to say how strong the threat posed by the mercenaries is, this is the third time that the two sides have clashed, the first was the Algerian air battle, the loss of more than thirty fighters and more than twenty transport aircraft, the sinking of two frigates and a dock landing ship.
The second time was in the waters of Angola, when the Triumph-class ballistic missile submarine failed to sneak up on the opponent's aircraft carrier, but was hit by an unknown submarine and broke its leg, and had to become a trophy of the mercenary army, which is said to still be in the military port and is still unattended.
New Caledonia and French Polynesia are island countries and do not have a high strategic significance, so the French government has only sent more than 3,000 troops to garrison, most of them in major cities such as the capital and capital, but more than 1,000 of them are military police, belong to paramilitary forces, and do basically police work, and the real combat effectiveness is still different from that of the regular army.
Papeete and Noumea belong to the port cities, and there is no dangerous terrain to defend, except that a few high slopes and mountain edges have been selected along the coast, a defensive line has been built, artillery positions and anti-aircraft missile positions have been set up, and only a few old patrol boats are currently parked on the pier and no one cares about them.
With more than 2,000 French regular troops and more than 1,000 gendarmes, against the carrier fleet and the Marine Brigade of the mercenary regiments, the French commanders, who failed to pass school, understood that this battle could not be won without support, they were just a group of overseas garrisons abandoned by the country.
The eyes of the world were on New Caledonia and French Polynesia, and most people were stupefied by the images broadcast on television and online, and this time was the most intuitive impression, although the news media often reported on the Golden Triangle International Security Company.
Although the war was imminent, news media reporters from dozens of countries gathered in the two port cities of Nouméa and Papeete, and the number reached more than 100 people.
"After all, the mercenary army still has to go to the world, and it is not a bad thing for reporters to report, those who should understand it have long understood, and those who don't understand it for a lifetime are just watching a lively one, you sort out the wording and accept interviews with the media." Wu Chen approved the news media's request.
Since he is the behind-the-scenes boss of the world's largest mercenary organization, of course he is unwilling to be excluded by the world as a mercenary, and has been trying his best to justify the mercenary's name.
Since the boss had spoken, the fleet arranged several Sea Knight helicopters to invite reporters and photographers to the warship for interviews and filming, and used satellite broadcasting equipment to achieve live broadcast of the whole process.
As the commander of the navy, Denis personally received, he knew what the boss meant, the mercenary profession is very unpopular, in the hearts of ordinary people, I am afraid that it will be associated with organizations such as killers, but the mercenary corps is really an army!
"There are pros and cons to everything, and the profession of mercenary is not tolerated by the world, and there are also prejudices and misunderstandings. The reason why we appear is also because of the way of thinking, especially values, and there are also some social reasons. ”
"After all, it is still a minority group who stay in the army all their lives, and those soldiers who have spent a lot of resources in the country to train their skills, just take off their military uniforms and return to the countryside, which is actually a very cruel thing, because most people have no other survival skills than fighting to make a living."
"It is said that the Air Force and the Navy are easy to find jobs for these high-tech arms, which is called nonsense, how many people are needed in society, and how many people are retired in a year? Most of them have to find a completely unfamiliar industry, work hard to get enough to eat, and look at the current situation of veterans in various countries, I won't talk about the specifics. ”
"Veterans are just ordinary people, they also need to eat and earn money to support their families, their parents need to support, their wives and children have to live, what should they do if they have no money? Is it wrong to take up arms, earn money with the only skill you have mastered, and pursue a better tomorrow? ”
"There are some people in society who are prejudiced against mercenaries, and we are dangerous elements who live for money, but I would like to ask, don't the people who say this need money, and the food, drink, and clothing are all falling from the sky?"
"I don't deny that some people who are under the banner of mercenaries only recognize money and not people, and can do anything without a lower limit, but those of them who ignore the law and morality are definitely not real mercenaries, they can only be called professional thugs and killers, mercenaries, that is equivalent to an army without formation, no one admits that it doesn't matter, we follow the military code."
"The mercenaries of the Golden Triangle International Security Company, although they also fight for income, but we are much more disciplined than the armies of most countries, you can investigate what the company's reputation is."
"We have carried out missions in many countries, we have not stolen, we have not robbed, we have respected women, we have never killed innocents, we have provided large amounts of aid to poor countries, we have developed local economies and agricultural production, and we have built schools, hospitals and clinics for them, facts speak louder than words!" In the captain's office of the aircraft carrier, Denis eloquently explained to the reporters the nature and significance of mercenaries, and in the end, he himself was moved.
The head level of the world's largest mercenary organization, the positioning of the mercenary profession is very authoritative, and he also has the strength and qualifications to say so, look at those small mercenary companies, a few people or a dozen people put together, at most a few hundred people, can only be called a small team, and dare to be called a mercenary organization?
