More than 700 kilometers, running for a whole day.

When Wang Dong and the others arrived, the convoy transporting equipment had just arrived.

The escorts were not only operatives of the "Angu" company, but also an infantry unit of the government army, and the officers who led the team clearly took advantage.

During the meeting, Redon gave a DF6PD to the major officer.

No way, this is Africa.

In Lei Dong's words, in this ghost place, there are only three things that are most popular, one is gold, the second is hard currency such as the US dollar and the Chinese dollar, and the third is weapons.

No matter how good the relationship is, if you want to get things right, you have to give gifts.

In fact, frequent gift-giving is a necessary means to maintain a relationship.

In the beginning, D&F's marketing staff spent at least $5 million on Zambian officials to market the DF762 family of firearms to Zambia.

In Gao Jun's words, if you add these expenses, you can't make money at all.

Of course, if you can't make money, it's nothing, it's good to be able to open the market, after all, after Zambia purchased DF762, several nearby countries will purchase new firearms, and the priority is D&F company's products, after all, only D&F company can provide new firearms with good enough performance and low enough price, and D&F company is also more flexible in business means.

To put it more bluntly, it is to be more generous when giving gifts.

The so-called heavy equipment is actually dozens of 4-axle and 8-wheeled all-terrain off-road vehicles, as well as some weapons such as bazookas and mortars.

Of course, there are some good things brought by Wang Dong and them.

For example, 20 sets of anti-tank missiles and 10 sets of individual anti-aircraft missiles.

In Africa, these are definitely heavy equipment.

The preparation before departure will take some time, and Wang Dong and the others will have to wait patiently.

In fact, the biggest problem is not the armament.

In Angola, the rebels' most powerful weapons are a couple of old-fashioned recoilless guns, as well as some equally old-fashioned RPG-7 bazookas.

Even the South African army did not have much heavy equipment.

South Africa is the most powerful country in southern Africa, and it is also one of the few industrial countries on the African continent, which can develop advanced weapons such as the "Horn" tank, the "Tea Falcon" helicopter gunship and the G6 self-propelled howitzer, and once possessed nuclear weapons, but in the past few decades, South Africa's defense strength has been declining, and the actual combat capability of the defense force is also much worse than before.

Why?

In South Africa's periphery, there is no decent opponent.

There is no real threat, a strong national defense is needed?

It is precisely because of this that the South African army's actual combat capability is not strong, and it does not have many heavy weapons, such as less than 500 main battle tanks, and they are mainly the "horns" developed and produced by themselves, while the South African Air Force can only use more than 100 combat aircraft.

With this amount of troops, can you fight a large-scale local war?

Obviously, this is also the key to Yunlong's suspicion that the United States is meddling in this matter.

Why?

Although there is no reason for China to send troops to Angola, over the years, China's investment in Angola has been very large, and Angola is China's main oil importer in Africa, surpassing Nigeria a few years ago to become the largest oil importer in Africa.

In order to stabilize this oil-producing area, Huaxia has been investing in infrastructure construction in Angola.

In other words, if Angola is threatened, even if China cannot directly send troops, it will provide support through other means.

How?

It is the "Angu" company.

Actually, this is the only option.

During the Iraqi civil war, the company "Angu" came to prominence.

Whether it was in the early days of the defense of Nasiriyah, in the middle of the Battle of Semavo, and in the later siege of Kut, the army with the personnel of the "Angu" company as the backbone played a crucial role, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it influenced the course of the civil war.

By the time of the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, it was even more so.

Although Angu has never admitted it, it has long been known that the Pakistani army was able to sweep through the entire Kashmir region with lightning speed, thereby seizing the initiative in the war and eventually forcing the Indian authorities to sue for peace.

Up to now, the company has become the largest mercenary in the world.

How powerful is it?

Including temporary employees, Angu has about 400,000 employees, most of whom are combatants, or at least paramilitaries.

What is this concept?

Of the more than 200 countries in the world, there are certainly not 20 national defense forces with a total strength of more than 400,000.

In addition, if you count D&F companies, it is even more incredible.

Purely in terms of military strength, if Angu and D&F are the same country, they can send about 15 people around the world.

If Angu makes a move, will South Africa be able to easily defeat Angola?

The answer is clearly no.

In fact, as long as the "Angu" company intervened, the South African authorities would discourage the idea of starting a war, after all, if they could not win, they would not gain anything.

It can be seen that the support of the United States is crucial.

Of course, with the strength of the "Angu" company, it is not much of a problem to sweep the whole of southern Africa.

Not to mention anything else, as long as Wang Dong is willing, he can transfer dozens of fighters over at any time, and he can obtain ammunition and supplies through the Tanzan Railway.

Just to deal with the rebels in Angola, these heavy equipment are already more than enough.

Even if the South African army in northern Namibia is included, the problem is not very big, at least there is enough certainty that Onjiwa will be held.

The problem is that if you want to fight the US military, it is not that simple.

On the way to Mangu, Wang Dong received a call from Yunlong that an aircraft carrier battle group of the US Navy's Sixth Fleet had gone south and was expected to reach the waters off Angola in five days, and that the more than 60 fighter planes carried by this aircraft carrier could bomb Onjiwa into ruins.

Against the US fighter planes, Wang Dong really didn't have much certainty.

Individual anti-aircraft missiles?

You must know that US fighter planes all drop bombs at high altitudes, and they do not operate at low altitudes at all, and they will not give individual air defense weapons any chance.

If the United States goes all out, this battle will not be fought.

Fortunately, Yunlong also clearly mentioned it.

The United States will certainly not get involved in the conflict in Angola without good reason, and at most will put pressure on the Angolan authorities.

To put it simply, the United States sent the aircraft carrier battle group to contain the Angolan government forces.

An aircraft carrier battle group poses enough to keep the Angolan authorities in the capital, near Luanda, instead of sending them to the south.

In other words, if you fight the South African army near Onjiva, you should not expect support from the Angolan government army.

In fact, Wang Dong did not count on the Angolan government army.
