Chapter 454: Fit is the best

In order to welcome the military high-level of the third brother's family, the various reception facilities of the maintenance plant have been greatly upgraded, and have been praised by these high-ranking generals. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

For example, this conference room, which has a fight with the reception rooms of some heads of state, is covered with expensive handmade Persian carpets from Iran, which are hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Many groups of leather sofas, all of which are world famous brands imported from Italy, white porcelain tea sets and ink murals from China, six crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, each worth one million US dollars, earned so much money in India, and it is not very distressing to spend a little.

When Thompson entered the door, Meng Ling, the CEO of the dignified Rainbow Shipping Company, was sitting on Wu Chen's lap, his arms around Wu Chen's neck, a charming red cloud flew on his white jade-like cheeks, two buttons of his white shirt were unbuttoned, and a closer look showed that there were still a few kiss marks on the snow-white skin on his chest.

Thompson understands this, the two sisters don't look at the identity of the boss's wife, they are very respected in the mercenary corps, but the boss's private life is a little unusual, and they often don't see each other a few times a year.

"This Vikramaditya aircraft carrier, there are only 24 carrier-based aircraft in total, and it is still a MiG-29K model, and we have ten American-made aircraft carriers, at least 60 carrier-based aircraft, or advanced fighters like the Shield Defender 1, you see this aircraft carrier as a threat, I think it is very unnecessary."

"Now the navy of our mercenary regiment is not afraid of others comparing the number of aircraft carriers with us, except for the United States, all the active aircraft carriers of other countries combined, not more than half of us, and the technical level is far behind, these ten aircraft carriers are all equipped with steam catapults, and four are nuclear-powered aircraft carriers." Wu Chen shook his head.

Aircraft carriers are the embodiment of a country's economic and industrial strength, not to mention whether ordinary countries can afford to use them, how to get aircraft carriers is also a big problem, even if India tightens its belt and shouts that it is not bad for money, but it can only buy second-hand goods to enjoy it, because it can't build it itself.

India has been belittling China, but China has been able to convert second-hand aircraft carriers into brand-new modern aircraft carriers, accumulated rich manufacturing experience, and also proved its excellent military strength, but India can only entrust Rainbow Shipping Company to transform second-hand aircraft carriers.

The Vikramaditya aircraft carrier is at least two generations inferior to the American Forrestal-class aircraft carrier, not to mention the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, but the United States will not sell the decommissioned aircraft carriers to India, although there are many of them.

At this time, the US Navy had a lot of money, in addition to the Nimitz class, there were more than 20 retired aircraft carriers, which were dismantled and sealed one after another, and some were donated to museums to support so many aircraft carriers for mercenary regiments.

Medium-sized countries cannot afford to raise aircraft carriers, and most of the developed countries that can afford aircraft carriers are unwilling to bear such expenses, and the most reasonable objects, Britain and France, are developing their own aircraft carriers, as the world's most famous old powers, the use of the United States' retired aircraft carriers seems to be very faceless, just like France, which does not deal with the United States, gritted its teeth and has to develop its own aircraft carriers, and the only nuclear-powered aircraft carrier outside the United States, Charles de Gaulle, will be commissioned next year.

If a medium-sized aircraft carrier equipped with more than 20 carrier-based fighters has to fight against a large aircraft carrier of 80,000 tons and equipped with more than 60 aircraft, it is no different from seeking death, let alone two against ten, can this be a level of competition?

"Boss, I will return to the Silver Triangle base this afternoon, this anti-drug operation will last at least more than a year, the transportation lines of the trafficking syndicate have been cut off, most of the production bases have been completely blown up, more than 4,000 related personnel have been arrested, and the US side is very satisfied with our work." Thompson said.

"I've been thinking about a problem, the current mercenary corps of the navy, land and air force, the main weapons and equipment are second-hand goods from the United States and the former Soviet Union, although compared with the weapons and equipment of the vast majority of countries in the world, whether it is technical indicators, firepower indicators or accuracy indicators, we are still reasonable, but this also brings a lot of defects and hidden dangers."

"The United States is the only superpower, and its economic strength, scientific research strength and industrial strength may not be able to catch up with our Golden Triangle Federation in another 100 years, and the foundation is too bad. The problem arises that the high-end weapons and equipment used by the American army are not necessarily the most suitable for mercenary organizations like us, that is, the financial burden is higher than the ability to bear it. ”

"The United States' annual military expenditure is hundreds of billions of dollars, while the Golden Triangle Federation is only $60 billion, which is only one-tenth of the others, so we need to change our thinking, and while developing high-precision weapons, we should not abandon conventional weapons and equipment, and the best is not necessarily the most suitable." Wu Chen said.

"Yes, the weapons and equipment of the United States are like burning money, I watched those cruise missiles constantly launched, and the guided bombs were like rain, and I shivered in distress! It's better to have a free supply of ammunition now, but when the operation is over, I'm afraid that the mercenaries under my command won't be able to accept the reality. Thompson naturally knew what Wu Chen meant.

The army is actually the most economical branch of the military, and the main equipment that costs money is armored vehicles and helicopters, which require the use of anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft missiles and rockets, and the price is not so high, of course, this is the conclusion reached in comparison.

The navy and air force are typical money-burners, and although they use all kinds of conventional tactical weapons such as guided bombs, cruise missiles, submarine-launched missiles, anti-ship missiles, and torpedoes, although they are powerful and accurate, they are really too expensive, and they can cost millions or even millions of dollars at every turn, and a Tomahawk cruise missile and MK-48 wire-guided torpedoes cost $3.5 million each!

The military industry of the mercenary corps is in its infancy, and the economic development of the Golden Triangle Federation is also just improving, and there is not so much money to manufacture and supply so much ammunition, just take the bullets for daily use, for example, hundreds of millions of rounds are purchased from the United States and Russia every month!

There are many types of firearms used by mercenary regiments, although the main assault rifles AK-47 and M-16 have been self-produced, other firearms, such as sniper rifles, machine guns, etc., still need to be purchased.

Speaking of which, a bullet is only a few yuan of Huaxia coins, but there are many of them, which is also a lot of money! Therefore, officers and soldiers do not need to consider such problems, but as high-level officials, they must consider alternatives, which is the most basic thinking.
