Chapter 837: Discussion of the New Situation Five
After entering the door, there was no need to be instructed, the secretaries immediately began their work, two of the three life secretaries went to the kitchen to boil water to make tea and wash fruits, and ordered dinner, of course, Duo Wei Zhai to deliver food, and the other to tidy up clothes and bedrooms.
One of the three working secretaries began to count the information coming from various regions today, and the second established a special contact with the headquarters to ensure that Wu Chen's orders could be conveyed at any time, while Natalia, the foreman secretary, stayed in the living room and was responsible for recording the key points of the conversation between the boss and Williams.
These six secretaries are Makas's goods, using the power of the shadow organization, from the active and retired female soldiers of various countries, the elite who are selected by thousands of people, after professional training in special institutions, to share the pressure of work and life for Wu Chen, especially the three working secretaries, who will be in charge of the nuclear lockbox in the future.
Williams belongs to the veteran of the 100-person team and is one of the core members of the mercenary corps, and he will be personally awarded the rank of army general by Wu Chen at the upcoming award ceremony, and he is on the same level as the commanders of all arms.
"Boss, the current situation is very unfavorable to us, there are a number of mercenary companies in the United States that have accepted the secret mission issued by European countries and Japan, and will participate in the second war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, after the secret statistics of the Los Angeles headquarters, the total number of people participating in the war will reach 120,000, which is a big threat to our mercenary corps."
"The previous president was worried that the rise of mercenaries would threaten the security of the United States, so he secretly supported a large number of local mercenary companies, and last year it reached a terrifying scale of more than 600,000 people, which is basically equal to the number of mercenary corps. However, the military expenditure consumed by so many mercenaries is too high, which affects the army's weapons research and development and procurement, resulting in the US military and arms dealers being very dissatisfied with this, and Congress is also quite complaining. ”
"After the new president came to power, under the pressure of all parties, only the two largest companies were selected as partners of the Ministry of Defense, focusing on support, and the rest of the mercenary companies were left to fend for themselves. Williams said.
Wu Chen has been reported in detail many times before, most of the bosses and shareholders of these mercenary companies are retired generals of the US army, and mercenaries are also recruited retired soldiers.
"The U.S. government has focused on supporting two mercenary companies, which is a bit interesting, you talk about the situation, I want to hear how strong the U.S. government is, can there be a second or even third mercenary corps in the world, then the U.S. government does have courage!" Wu Chen took the hot tea brought by the secretary, nodded with a smile and said.
The U.S. government can't support a second mercenary organization of the same size as the mercenary corps anyway, because no matter how much superpower it is in the world, it doesn't have so many resources, and if it does this, Congress and the military will jump to their feet, as well as those arms dealers.
Over the years, Wu Chen has bought more than 70 percent of the weapons and equipment that the United States has sealed and decommissioned, and this also contains this meaning: The US government likes to fool people with second-hand equipment and retired equipment, either selling it more expensive than new equipment, or using it as capital for political games.
It is not at all surprising to equip two mercenary companies with main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, as long as the production line is restarted, it can be manufactured in a very short time, and there is mature technology, the cost is relatively low, there are no problems with self-propelled guns and self-propelled rocket artillery, and there are no problems with armed helicopters and transport helicopters.
However, the embodiment of combat effectiveness is not only the ground army, and modern warfare is a war in the multidimensional space of land, sea, air, space, and electricity.
It's just that the US military can no longer afford to save so many aircraft carriers, missile cruisers, missile destroyers, nuclear submarines, strategic bombers and fighters, even if there is money to build them, then it has to take into account the problem of time.
The reason why the mercenary corps has been helped by the U.S. government with all its resources is because of the mission of garrisoning Ukolan, and the opponent it faces is the Russian army, which is defending against a top military power in the world, so the United States has half-sold and half-given all the weapons and equipment that can be used to the mercenary corps, and even affected the combat effectiveness of the U.S. military itself.
"Of course, there is a very big gap with us in terms of weapons and equipment, but it is mainly reflected in the air force and navy, the technical content of the army's conventional equipment is not weak at all, they have Apache gunships and Cobra gunships, have recently decommissioned M1 Abrams main battle tanks and M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, as well as M109 self-propelled artillery and M270 self-propelled rocket launchers, in addition to a very high degree of mechanization, equipped with a large number of Humvee off-road jeeps and transport vehicles, And there are several C-130 tactical transport aircraft and Black Hawk utility helicopters. ”
In order to deal with the continuous provocations of European countries and the threat of Japan, the army has begun to replace a large number of equipment, including the new AH-64D Longbow Apache helicopter gunship, AH-1 Super Cobra helicopter gunship, M1A2-SEP main battle tank and M2A3 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle, the main battle tank is more than 1,000 units of three armored divisions at a time, and the replacement of the old model is sold to these mercenary companies at a low price." Williams said.
"This is the strategy of the United States, and in future wars, heavy weapons and equipment such as main battle tanks will no longer play a big role, especially when air supremacy is lost, which is equivalent to a moving live target. But the war will end with a ground attack after all, this kind of heavy weapons cannot be without, but there is no need to equip too much, how generous do you think the US government is to sell so many main battle tanks to us at a low price? ”
"The situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo will not change much in a short period of time, we can calmly arrange, at the moment propeller fighters are being mass-produced, the main battle tanks are being improved in large quantities, as long as we have air supremacy, no matter how many American mercenaries are also the tragedy of being crushed by the torrent of steel, this time I want to play a big game, one time to invest 10,000 main battle tanks to form a battle formation, so that those opponents can taste the power of the second-hand tattered king!" Wu Chen laughed when he said it.
The terrain of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is very suitable for the large-scale use of armored forces, Williams thought of the scene of the main battle tanks pouring into front of him like a tide all over the mountains, and couldn't help but have a cold war, just the number of M1 Abrams main battle tanks and T-80 main battle tanks combined, more than 10,000, this is a real main battle tank, although the lineup is very terrifying, but, think about it and feel excited, this is a torrent of steel!
