Chapter 1223 Exhibition XII
"Mr. Marcas said very frankly and directly, I like this way of communication, the mercenary high-level analysis is not bad at all, in the Asia-Pacific region, the United States does have two potential opponents, one is China and the other is Japan, but the former is much more threatening than the latter."
"In terms of the speed of economic development, the reserves of mineral resources, the population base, the quality of the armed forces, the depth of strategy, and many other aspects, China is absolutely not comparable to Japan, and the US Government does not dare to be careless in the slightest. Therefore, the US government naturally agrees with the Vietnamese government's position of constantly creating incidents to provoke China and trying to occupy oil and gas resources in the southern seas. ”
"The mercenary corps is an international mercenary organization supported by the last US government, which poured all the resources of the government and the military, and you know best how much it cost in the process, to be clear, the US government does not want to see the current results, you have touched the bottom line of safety."
"As a politician, you always have to think about what may happen, and strangle the potential threat in the cradle, which is called a rainy day in China, you should understand what I mean, although the US government does not want to have unpleasant affairs with the mercenaries, but it cannot support you as before, for the Golden Triangle Federation and Vietnam, I can only say that I will not help."
"Vietnam is at war with you, and it is definitely them who lose, and there is no doubt about this outcome for the US government, the point is that the Russian government is likely to intervene in this war. No matter how closely the mercenaries cooperate with the Russian government, when it comes to matters of principle, President Park Kim will never budge. Secretary Donald said.
If Britain is the-stirring stick of Europe, then the United States is the-stirring stick of the whole world, and the US government is happy to see a war in the southern seas, because it does not threaten its own fundamental interests, and it will also divert the attention of the people, not only Afghanistan is at war, Vietnam and the Golden Triangle Federation are also at war.
At the same time, if the mercenaries turn against the Russian government because of this matter, it will be the result of killing two birds with one stone, and from then on they will be more dependent on the US government, and the security of the Ukolan will increase a few points, and look, what a wonderful situation.
There is no need to ask whether the Russian government will come to Vietnam's aid because of the Huaxia problem, and although it is impossible to intervene directly, the facts have proved that the Vietnamese government and the Russian government seem to have reached a cooperation.
During the exhibition, the Vietnamese government purchased two S-300 anti-aircraft missile battalions from Russia at a price of $200 million, not including maintenance costs, with a total of 12 sets of anti-aircraft missile systems.
At a price of $600 million, twelve Su-30 two-seat twin-engine multirole fighters were procured to form a fighter squadron, which was only the first batch, and there were three more squadrons one after another. At a price of $3 million each, a one-time purchase of 300 T-90 main battle tanks will be made, for a total of $900 million.
In addition to purchasing six Kilo-class conventionally powered submarines from the mercenary corps, the Vietnamese government purchased from the Russian government two Cheetah-class frigates, which are frigates with a full load displacement of 2,100 tons, twin gas turbine engines and twin diesel engines, with a maximum speed of 28 knots, at a price of $180 each.
The bow part of the ship is equipped with an AK-176 76 mm 59 times the diameter naval gun, with 314 rounds of ammunition in reserve, guided by the naval gun fire control radar system, and a Russian AK-630 six-barreled rotating 30-mm machine gun close to the mortar defense system is installed in the forward gun position and stern of the ship, with 4,000 rounds of ammunition.
There is a two-arm anti-aircraft missile launcher in the stern of the ship, using the SA-N-4 Gecko short-range anti-aircraft missile developed by the former Soviet Union, with a bomb bay capacity of 20 pieces, semi-active radar guidance, a range of about 10 kilometers, and a reaction time of 20 seconds.
A quadruple anti-ship missile launcher is mounted on each side of the central hull with eight SS-N-25 switchblade subsonic anti-ship missiles, a group of 12 RBU-6000 anti-submarine rocket depth bomb launchers on the forward deck of the ship's guns, and two twin sets of 533-mm torpedo launchers on the ship.
"If the Russian government can't see the reality clearly, the mercenaries will let them hit the nail, involving the interests of the Golden Triangle Federation, we will not make the slightest concession, not just Russia, now there are many countries that look at the mercenaries unpleasantly, including the famous Yindu." Marcus said meaningfully.
"I also heard that the current Indu government regrets the sale of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands by the previous government, but since it has become a fact, no one can change it, and this anger cannot be vented in my heart, so it is strange that I don't ask you for trouble!"
"One of the highlights of this exhibition is that the Vietnamese government has purchased a lot of weapons and equipment, although the price is not so amazing, but it is the first time in the history of the Vietnamese government, it is estimated that it is also preparing for war, but for the mercenary army, this pressure is nothing at all." Mr. Minister said with a smile.
The Vietnamese government ordered two M28 maritime patrol planes from Poland, and a contract for ten more followed, which is an improved version of the former Soviet Union's An-28 transport aircraft, with a search radar developed by Poland on it, and the key is that the price is very cheap, only $4 million, and 12 are only $48 million.
The unit price of the world's most advanced modern and sophisticated maritime patrol plane, the Blue Eagle 1 antisubmarine fixed-wing aircraft manufactured by the mercenary regiment, is $380 million, and the P-8 maritime antisubmarine patrol plane developed and manufactured by the United States will also cost $250 million each.
The Vietnamese government not only equips the navy and air force, the army is also the top priority, the key is that the army's weapons and equipment are cheap, and it is also the main force in the war, and if you want to confront the mercenary corps, the air force and navy do not play a big role.
Hungarian military-industrial enterprises sold a radar for field artillery tests to the Vietnamese Army, which could measure the muzzle velocity of artillery shells, and the European defense electronics company Thales sold thermal imagers and upgraded artillery platforms for the army.
The Slovenian military-industrial complex sold two pontoon bridges to the army for a unit price of nine million dollars. The Belgian military-industrial complex helped the Vietnamese Army upgrade its 7.62-mm ammunition production facilities. Assault rifles and sniper rifles were procured from Croatia, and loading vehicles for multiple launch rocket systems were procured from the United States.
The Army had originally asked Singapore Automatic Engineering to help upgrade 200 American M113 armored personnel carriers, but Singapore had to abandon the upgrade plan due to pressure from the U.S. government, but South Korea's Daewoo Heavy Industries accepted the project and upgraded the first prototype for the Army.
