The mercenary group's base in the five Nordic countries, especially in the Barents Sea, was originally a NATO abandoned nuclear submarine base near Tromsø in northeastern Norway, which was also known as the Olafswyn naval base.

The ground building area is 13,500 square meters, and the building area in the mountain is 25,000 square meters, with dry docks for submarines, fuel depots, tunnel systems, office areas, emergency power supply equipment, etc.

The nuclear submarine base, which was built by NATO and Norway at a cost of $500 million, was originally intended to deal with the Soviet Union, and was not used until the end of the Cold War. But after the mercenary corps bought it, it immediately returned to normal operation, and the Norwegian Navy did not dismantle the equipment inside when it was bought, and it was ready to use when it was taken over.

Marcas paid a nominal price of $1 million to get the permanent right to use the base, and Atlantis Mineral Resources will also explore and develop oil and gas resources in the surrounding seas, and the Norwegian government has provided millions of dollars worth of material aid.

The main reason for such favorable conditions is that last year, the Rainbow Shipping Company salvaged the wrecked Komsomol attack nuclear submarine, which saved a huge threat and protected the ecosystems in the waters of the five Nordic countries, which made the Norwegian government very happy.

As soon as Marcas mentioned that he wanted to participate in the development of oil and gas resources in the Barents Sea, the government immediately approved it and took the initiative to sell the base to mercenaries, and NATO could not say anything about it. The former Soviet Union has collapsed, the threat is gone, and Russia's economy is now on the verge of collapse, and it is useless to keep this nuclear submarine base.

Wu Chen saw the former Soviet Union's G-class conventional-powered ballistic missile submarine being transformed in the dry dock, also known as the Golf class, the hull has been cut, there are hundreds of people busy, everyone has a clear division of labor, some are responsible for diesel-electric power, some are responsible for electrical equipment, some are responsible for welding and cutting, some are responsible for sonar, and some are responsible for pipelines, and they are busy.

The Golf-class conventionally powered ballistic missile submarine, with an underwater displacement of 3,500 tons, double-hull diesel-electric power biaxial propulsion, has been in service for 30 years, and has been decommissioned for 10 years.

A total of six ships participated in the refit this time, mainly to transform the hull, repair the damaged places, install the latest sound-absorbing tiles, reduce noise inside, install 12 vertical launchers of Granite anti-ship missiles, install the latest communication system and satellite positioning system, and turn them into underwater ghosts that destroy the US aircraft carrier formation, which are disposable consumables.

"The shadow organization of a secret agent, owned a fishing company, bought these six submarines in the best condition from the Russian Navy in his name, claiming to be exploring the oceans and doing research, and there was no reaction from various countries, including the United States."

"These submarines are not nuclear-powered, and if something goes wrong, they will not pollute the sea, and the Russian Navy has dismantled all the weapons and equipment, leaving almost an empty shell, and only maintains normal power and necessary equipment, so it was successfully transported here for refitting."

"We have transferred the most skilled personnel from the major shipyards to the base on the grounds of vacation to participate in the refit work, and it is expected that one will be completed every two months, and it will take a year and a half to complete it all, and the Iraqi government will provide 300 million US dollars for each ship, which actually requires 70 to 80 million US dollars, and at most 100 million US dollars." Marcas, who arrived at the base early, said.

"With the technical strength of the US Navy, the submarine will definitely be discovered when it launches its first submarine-launched anti-ship missile, and my request is that it be launched at a distance of about 400 kilometers, and it must be launched in 12 seconds, and then it will be quickly withdrawn."

"Once you find that you can't get rid of the tracking of the anti-submarine aircraft, immediately start the self-detonation system and sink the submarine to the bottom of the sea, you would rather die than fall into the hands of the US military, and all the operators must be active military personnel in Iraq, we only send people to guide the operation, you have to use your hands and feet in the submarine, and you have to sink if it does not sink in an emergency!" Wu Chen said.

It is impossible to evade the US Navy's anti-submarine aircraft and search, the other side's science and technology development is the first in the world, if it is a newly designed nuclear submarine, there is still a glimmer of hope, but this kind of old submarine eliminated by the former Soviet Union can launch all the anti-ship missiles at a long distance, it is already very remarkable, 100% will be trapped by the opponent's anti-submarine aircraft and destroyers, and it will be a matter of ten minutes to be sunk.

For this offensive, President Saddam Hussein has also made a great determination, and has invested $1.8 billion in the renovation work alone, not including the cost of anti-ship missiles, and even if the computer is automated, a submarine will have to be operated by 60 people, and six will have 360 people, and this price is not insignificant.

But politicians do not think about these, in exchange for the maximum benefit at the minimum price, this is logical, although the Iraqi side will die 360 fighters, but these anti-ship missiles weighing seven tons each can make the US Navy pay ten times the price!

No matter how powerful the Aegis combat system is, it cannot withstand the combined strike of dozens of anti-ship missiles, and the Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers and Ali Burke-class missile destroyers of the mercenary regiment, the Iowa-class battleships and the Virginia-class nuclear-powered missile cruisers are all equipped with this kind of combat system.

This is indeed a very advanced combat system, but it is not as amazing as the US military said, and its ability to deal with supersonic anti-ship missiles is seriously insufficient, and miscalculations often occur, and it is not possible for them to shoot down their own fighters.

"If we really hurt the US military in Afghanistan, the time of the war in Iraq will inevitably be affected, and it is reasonable to delay the outbreak for a year or two. For example, the newly developed anti-aircraft missiles and cruise missiles are in the design stage, and they will definitely surprise the US military when the time comes. ”

"At present, the Hunting Bow-2 air defense missile has been developed to the B type, with our Outpost-1 passive passive air defense radar system and Pantsir air defense radar system, it is a killer specifically for dealing with stealth fighters and stealth bombers, and the main improvement of this missile is the identification system to prevent radar from misjugsing."

"The Saboteur-1 land-based cruise missile is a cruise missile that has just been put into production, mainly aimed at US military bases and camps in various parts of the Middle East, as well as important strategic targets, with a maximum range of 2,500 kilometers, using ground-matched guidance, inertial guidance, and the Atlantis satellite navigation system, with an accuracy of 10 meters, a flight speed of Mach 1, a weight of 1.8 tons, and a high-explosive semi-armor-piercing warhead of 220 kilograms, as a long-range strike force of the army."

"In addition, from the technical data of the former Soviet Union, we found the experimental technology of microwave weapons, although it is not very mature, but a small range of interference can be done, equipped with UAVs to detonate near military bases or aircraft carrier battle groups, which can cause short-term interference to electronic equipment, which is conducive to our launch of sneak attack warfare." Marcas said.
