Chapter 255: Preparations Before Upgrading II
"As long as we declare the founding of the country, war will definitely happen, but I think that it is definitely not a full-scale war, it will only be a local conflict, and as long as we withstand the first round of blows, this war will not be able to continue.

"Their biggest advantage lies in the large number of people, in the fact that they have the whole country to rely on, and our most powerful thing is the weaponry, which has surpassed them by two or three generations, and now all departments report on the current personnel and weapons establishment." Wu Chen said.
The mercenary corps is under the direct responsibility of Thompson, and he told everyone that the company now has four brigade-level combat teams, and the defense force has two brigade-level combat teams, according to the full strength of 4,000 people in a brigade-level combat team, a total of more than 24,000 people. At present, the number is only equal to half an armored division and half an air assault division, and there are too few men and too many equipment, and it is necessary to continue to expand the number of personnel to eventually reach the scale of 100,000 people.
At present, the US government is equipped with two air assault divisions, two armored divisions, and two airborne divisions, with more than 800 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, nearly 1,000 Abrams main battle tanks, more than 200 cavalry combat vehicles, and more than 600 armored transport vehicles.

At present, there are only more than 3,000 pilots and ground crews of the army and aviation, and half of the helicopters have no pilots and are idle, and the number of anti-tank missiles and rockets of armed helicopters, including machine gun bullets, is very large.

There are twelve Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers, six Burke-class destroyers, twenty-four Perry-class frigates, sixteen Spruance-class destroyers, and three Wasp-class amphibious assault ships.
The four aircraft carriers and one helicopter carrier, which are capable of normal operations, add up to more than 24,000 people, which is a full strength, and the USS Washington aircraft carrier is not counted. All other warships, including amphibious assault ships, add up to 30,000 people, but at present there are only 16,000 people, which is equal to half of the establishment.
The Navy also has 10 Hawkeye early warning planes, 24 fixed-wing antisubmarine planes, five Russian early warning planes, 78 Sea Hawk antisubmarine helicopters, and seven bases in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Ukolan, giving the Navy a total of more than 40,000 people, a gap of more than 20,000.

"The entire Golden Triangle mercenary corps and defense forces, currently with a total size of 100,000 people, have the world's most sophisticated weapons and equipment of the navy, land and air force, and the number is also very amazing, except for the five permanent members, we are not afraid of the threat of force from any country."
"It's a pity, none of these weapons and equipment are produced by us, all of them are second-hand, and there will be big problems in future repair and maintenance! Leaving that aside from that, the Atlantis Group and the government, let's talk about the current situation and look at the problem of our income and expenditure. Wu Chen said lightly.
The commanders, who were still feeling a little proud, suddenly sobered up when they heard Wu Chen's words, the equipment that was not produced by themselves, the technology and spare parts were pinched in the hands of others, and if one was broken, they had to lie on their stomachs, and in a few years, how much equipment could be used?
Xu Zilin made a financial report to all the core members, the current financial sources of the Golden Triangle Autonomous Region, mainly rely on three aspects, first, the profits brought by the electronics industry, Chenxu notebook computer received a total of 10 million orders, can produce 500,000 units per month, remove the cost of each net profit of 3,000 US dollars, provide 1.5 billion US dollars per month for the finance, and directly transfer it to the Ministry of Finance of the autonomous region after the account.
The first batch of orders is now nearing the end, however, new orders are still coming in, and new products are also being launched, which is a relatively stable income. As for the Zhan Zhan brand LCD TV and light and shadow digital camera, it has not yet entered the production stage, and is about to hold a product promotion meeting, which is the most optimistic situation, that is, similar to a laptop.
Second, in the exploitation and sale of oil in Angola and Bangladesh, up to now, the daily oil production of the three types of oil fields on land, offshore and shallow sea has exceeded the million barrel mark, and at the price of 20 US dollars per barrel, 20 million US dollars a day has been sold.
Excluding the cost, it is about eight dollars per barrel, that is, now eight million dollars a day. Bangladesh's oil fields were developed relatively late, so the two places have reaped $1.2 billion for the company in more than half a year.
Third, the transaction between the Haidongqing-Antonov Aerospace Manufacturing Company and the Saudi side on the Shield Defender-1 fighter is a net profit of $26 billion, and the transaction with Huaxia's 48 carrier-based aircraft is completed, with a net profit of $2.8 billion.
Rainbow Shipping Company, which deals with Saudi Arabia for aircraft carriers, earns $3 billion by customizing a new conventionally powered aircraft carrier, earning $1 billion by renovating an aircraft carrier, and refitting an aircraft carrier for India can earn at least $1.4 billion, which is $5.4 billion in total, but the time is four years.
The manufacture of ten Kilo-class submarines for China, as well as the transfer of technology, earned two billion dollars, and the construction of six Kilo-class submarines for Vietnam and the sale of two Perry-class frigates added up to nearly a billion dollars.
