Chapter 416: African Raiders VI
The mercenary army has purchased so much heavy equipment before and after, and needs a huge base to store it, and the vast area of northern Sudan belongs to the tropical desert climate, which is not only dry and rainy, but also sparsely populated, which meets the conditions for storage.

More than a dozen kilometers west of Port Sudan, the General Logistics Department of the Mercenary Corps has built a special integrated logistics base, codenamed Titan, which is currently the largest base of the Mercenary Corps and is also among the best in the ranking of military facilities in the world.
In addition to the storage of aircraft and armored vehicles that need to be mothballed or upgraded, there is also a lot of Soviet heritage from Russia, such as a large number of missile launchers and radar vehicles, as well as transport vehicles, and tens of thousands of vehicles of various types scavenged from Soviet bases, as well as American military vehicles and 25,000 Humvees.
The area of this logistics base is very huge, covering more than 60 square kilometers, which is divided into working and living areas, and has a separate base garrison headquarters and a logistics base headquarters, as well as an important organization, that is, the military police.
The living quarters occupy about one-tenth of the area, and the buildings are mainly steel structures, with a number of restaurants, cafes, shopping malls, supermarkets, department stores, and so on, as well as stadiums, gymnasiums, swimming pools, and so on, which can meet the basic living needs of officers and men.
The buildings in the work area are mainly concrete and steel structures, which are divided into a number of sites, the army is mainly an armored vehicle site and an armored force training base, a helicopter site and an army aviation pilot training base, and the air force has a fighter site, a bombing airfield and a transport airfield, all of which have attached training bases.
In addition, the most important thing in the logistics base is the maintenance site, with more than 30 workshops of various sizes, which can repair and upgrade various high-end weapons and equipment, as well as various material warehouses for logistics, the total number of which will reach several hundred, covering all the needs of life and operations.
This is only a part, in the Golden Triangle, Ukolan, Cam Ranh Bay and the Andaman Islands, there are also the same logistics bases, especially in the Golden Triangle and the Andaman Islands, warehouses are built directly in the mountains, and there is no way to blow up nuclear bombs.
There are 3,000 M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks, 3,000 M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, 2,000 T-80 main battle tanks and 4,000 T-72 main battle tanks, as well as 1,200 Leopard 2A4 main battle tanks and 1,000 Weasel infantry fighting vehicles.
There are 200 B-25 strategic bombers on the bombing airfield, and these belong to the G type strategic bombers that the US Air Force just retired seven years ago, and the F model, not the hundreds in the early days of the aircraft cemetery.
The Americans are not so honest, these strategic bombers only removed their wings after they were decommissioned, and claimed to be completely scrapped, but the wings were not dealt with so thoroughly, and they were reinstalled for the sake of this deal, and the Russian government said that it was repaired.
Of course, the Russian government knows what is going on, and it is too lazy to talk to the US government about this kind of thing, anyway, the plane is in the hands of mercenaries, and the two are real allies, and it is nothing more than complaining about the end of the matter.
There are more than 300 F-16 fighters and more than 300 A-10 attack planes at the fighter site, and 185 C-141 tactical transport planes, 30 C-5 strategic transport planes, and 50 Il-76 tactical transport planes at the transport airfield.
Since this logistics base was just started to be built when the mercenary corps purchased Russian equipment in large quantities, and it has not been more than two years now, Wu Chen is very satisfied with the current scale.
There is a large military airfield in the base that is still under construction, and it currently has four runways, one of which is 4,000 meters long, which is dedicated to taking off and landing super-large transport aircraft, according to the plan of the General Logistics Department, the An-225 strategic transport aircraft will continue to be built, and the number of aircraft purchased by the Air Force is ten, and the international demand is more than 50 aircraft.
The airport has a total of 24 thermostatic hangars under construction, which are used to park Haidongqing-1 all-weather heavy stealth fighters, the base is equipped with a number of radar stations and anti-aircraft missile positions, and field airfields and helicopter airfields have begun to be put into use.
For the sake of the security of the base, in addition to the daily guard battalion and a military police squadron, an air assault brigade was transferred from the Lightning Air Assault Division, an airborne brigade was transferred from the Falcon Airborne Division, and an armored brigade was transferred from the Blade Armored Division.
On the east side of the base work area, there are thirty large steel structure workshops, the scale is extremely amazing, among them there are ten large aircraft workshops, the height reaches twenty-five meters, the length is three hundred meters, and the width is one hundred meters, capable of repairing and modifying various aircraft, including the world's largest An-225 strategic transport aircraft, and also capable of assembly.
The remaining twenty workshops, which belong to the heavy equipment repair and modification workshop, can also be assembled. This type of building does not take much time to build, each part is made according to standard dimensions, docked with a crane and then reinforced with bolts, and finally sealed.
Inside the workshop, there are all kinds of modern machinery and equipment from the United States, Europe and the United States, as well as Ukolan and Russia, which are being debugged by more than 100 engineers and more than 1,000 workers.
The workshop was surrounded by warehouses and garages, the oil depot was built around the perimeter of the training ground, and the ammunition depot was built under a hillside of the training ground, and it was zigzag into the belly of the mountain, and even the American ground-penetrating bombs could not blow up this ammunition depot without precise coordinates.
Ten kilometers north of the base is a large petrochemical plant of Atlantis Mineral Resources, which not only has production and refining equipment, but also hundreds of non-metallic crude oil storage tanks and dozens of refined oil storage tanks, which are used to ensure the oil used by the Navy and various equipment and equipment of the base in Port Sudan.
"Your general logistics department is not not not spending, but especially does not spend a small amount of money, look at the scale of this logistics base, I dare to say that it will never be completed without tens of billions of dollars, and it may not even be enough, the family has no food and panic, with this base, we are finally a lot more stable." Thompson said with a smile.
"You especially know how to spread joy in front, mercenaries eat, drink, and sleep, which one I can't serve you masters, and I'm embarrassed to say, paralyzed, I don't even have the strength to climb into the coffin!" Miles said angrily.
"What is the situation with the rebels here? Are there any signs of re-entering the South? Wu Chen asked lightly. Since the general logistics base is built in Sudan, maintaining the stability of social order here has become the top priority of the mercenary corps, and Wu Chen will definitely not allow Sudan to cause civil strife again.
