Chapter 1224: Two Wars on
The first international defense exhibition held in Sestopol maintained a warm atmosphere from the very beginning, especially the weapons and equipment of mercenary regiments, which constantly generated new orders, the number of which was so large that the military-industrial enterprises of various countries participating in the exhibition looked green.
Judging from the orders announced on the information screen of the exhibition, the best-selling mercenary regiment this time is naval weapons and equipment, as for the biggest killer fifth-generation fighter, there is not a single order, and the countries that can afford it have already bought it, and those who can't afford it still can't afford it, and some can't buy it.
The Sperm Whale-class amphibious assault ship with a full load displacement of 45,000 tons is also equivalent to a medium-sized aircraft carrier, which is larger than the tonnage of France's Charles de Gaulle nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and the Mistral-class amphibious assault ship is not of the same grade, and has been warmly welcomed by coastal countries.
The Gulf countries and European countries with deep pockets have no regard for the murderous eyes of the US government, and this is a model comparable to that of the US Wasp-class amphibious assault ships, and France's Mistral-class amphibious assault ships are basically not competitive, while the Wasp-class amphibious assault ships are not sold to the outside world.
The joint forces of the Gulf countries ordered six ships at a time, purely for the purpose of money burning, Egypt, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands each have two ships, and Morocco, the five Nordic countries, Ireland, Portugal, Belgium, and Greece each have one, a total of 26 ships, and according to the price of $3 billion each, this is $72 billion.
Libya, the Netherlands, and Ireland have four, Morocco, Tunisia, the five Nordic countries, Portugal, Belgium, Bulgaria, and Romania each have two, and Malaysia and Thailand also have four, a total of 42 ships, $500 million, and a total of $21 billion.
The 485-ton Chopping Wave-class missile speedboat is the favorite of these coastal countries, this thing is economical, affordable, and has a high degree of modernization, and anyone can afford it, and the six supersonic anti-ship missiles on it can threaten the aircraft carrier, and the power is terrifying.
The mercenary corps actually came up with a limited sale, but all the countries that wanted to buy it had to start with at least five, and in the end, the above 16 countries actually sold 80 ships, the six countries of the Gulf countries combined with the army of 30 ships, and even Badistan and Brunei bought 5 ships, and the price of 120 ships was 26.4 billion US dollars.
"Boss, there is still one day left before the closing, and the turnover of this exhibition will definitely exceed the $300 billion mark, even if it is a 30 percent profit, it is equivalent to earning a year's military budget of the mercenary corps, and I still underestimated the purchasing power of various countries before."
"However, the military procurement leaders of these European countries are really poisonous, and they actually used this exhibition to drug our mercenary corps, knowing that the US government wants them to purchase more American-style equipment, but unfortunately, they are disobedient and publicly show their orders one by one."
"Although the bigwigs of the U.S. government are not fools, and the giants of the military industry know it, they still feel very uncomfortable about it, seeing that our mercenary corps is about to become the target of public criticism." Marcus said with a smile.
The contents of the arms and equipment transactions at the exhibition may or may not be made public, and it all depends on the agreement between the buyer and the seller. Weapons and equipment are naturally for military use, although there are no impermeable walls under the sky, but it is a good thing for buyers to let people know later.
Those who dare to directly expose the orders must have their own purposes, for example, European countries are using these orders to drive a wedge between the United States and mercenaries, and they are also using such hints to beat the US government step by step.
Some countries are showing their determination, such as Yindu and Vietnam, which want to become a military power with global influence, which is not a secret, and has also become synonymous with money and people come stupidly. Vietnam, on the other hand, is to convey information to the outside world through the trade of exhibitions.
"Dozens of countries came to participate in this exhibition, which is not unusual, if it is the United States or Europe, it will be at least 700 billion US dollars, I mean, for example, in fact, the weapons and equipment they sell, not so many countries come to buy, the price is too high."
"Although we are an export version, the quality and gold content are equivalent to the active equipment of our navy, and the mercenary corps has never engaged in any export version and monkey version, real weapons and equipment, no matter which user will like it."
"Russia has gained a lot at this exhibition, and Mr. Minister of Defense is also here, just came to your office for tea, did you mention the matter of Vietnam? I think this is also the result of the Vietnamese government's public relations. Wu Chen asked casually.
He stood in front of the military map in the conference room, his eyes fixed on the map of Vietnam, a red pen in his hand, and a large stack of Vietnamese military information on the table behind him.
During the exhibition, in addition to eating and resting with a group of supermodel girlfriends at night, Wu Chen spent his time in the underground bunker during the day to consider two wars, which were indeed two wars, one was the second DRC war and the other was the gold-Vietnam war.
"The Russian government seems to have gained a certain degree of benefit, perhaps it has reached some kind of agreement with the Vietnamese government, and there may be hints from the US government behind it, but it has not been said never, but the matter has already been done, and the Russian government hopes that the mercenary corps will seriously consider the request of the Vietnamese government and withdraw from Cam Ranh Bay to avoid creating its own passive situation."
"Mr. Minister believes that the Vietnam War is a lesson from the past, and it is an unwise choice for both sides to go to war, and as an old friend, the Russian government has the obligation to point out this point, and the victory or defeat of the war is not only about weapons and equipment and the quality of the army, but also involves many factors, and this is just a suggestion." Marcus said with a smile.
"In any case, the word for the Vietnamese government is an attitude, and it is also a very unfriendly expression, the Russian economy has just begun to improve, and they want to meddle in the affairs of the mercenaries, which is worried that the strategy of using the Vietnamese government to put pressure on China will be undermined by us, the Russian government is now very conflicted, and needs the market and political support of China, but they do not want to see the rise of China, from their point of view, there is no problem."
"However, the affairs of the Golden Triangle Federation must also proceed from its own interests, and the Russian government's doing so indicates that the honeymoon period between the two countries has begun to end, and in fact, there is also the shadow of the US government, although I feel great pressure on this, but I will not compromise in any case, and notify everyone to come here for a meeting." Wu Chen said calmly.
