Chapter 545: Prelude to the Exercise II
"Ladies and gentlemen, the exercise will officially start in four days, we still have enough time to have a meeting, there is something urgent for me to decide, now hurry up and say, I will hold talks with President Park Kim later, the Russian government is ready to restart the military bases in Cuba, and we will also invest in Cuba in industry.

"Whether it is an aircraft carrier, an amphibious assault ship, or a nuclear submarine, it needs nickel-chromium and titanium alloy steel, and Cuba's nickel ore, chrome ore and manganese ore are resources that we need very much, and the delegation of the Cuban government has already had preliminary contacts with the Russian government, and we will participate in cooperation as a third party." Wu Chen said.
"Boss, the strength of the Russian government is much worse than that of the former Soviet Union, the economy is sluggish, the finances are exhausted, and then the opening of military bases in Cuba is simply asking for trouble, and the US government will never allow Russian nuclear missiles to appear at its doorstep." Hunter said with a frown.
"NATO's eastward expansion has formed a situation of encirclement of Russia, and the strategic space of the Russian government has been compressed to a narrow range, and it is absolutely impossible not to go out; if Russia loses its ability to confront Russia, the unipolar world of the US government will affect the interests of our Golden Triangle Federation, so we must support Russia's decision-making."
"I also understand the problem you see, the current Russian government will not take the initiative to provoke the US government and send nuclear missiles to Cuba, which will provoke the US government and bring about a second missile crisis, even if this is necessary, it will take five to ten years, and things must be done in an orderly and gradual manner."
"With the current economic and military strength, the scale of this base will not be too large, at most, in the name of military assistance projects, radar stations will be set up around Havana, the Lourdes intelligence center will be restarted, the navy will send a small fleet for anti-submarine and anti-ship, the air force will send an aviation regiment and a bomber regiment with an anti-aircraft missile brigade, and the army will send a rocket artillery regiment and a tank brigade, and the total number will not exceed 30,000 people." Wu Chen shook his head and said.
"Boss, since the mass production of T-90 main battle tanks, those old tanks in the former Soviet Union, the Russian government has all been transported to the Titan base as scrap metal, and they have only left 2,000 T-80 main battle tanks and 2,000 T-72 main battle tanks as reserves.
"Up to now, there are 12,000 T-55 main battle tanks, more than 3,000 T-80 main battle tanks, 9,000 T-72 main battle tanks, 4,000 T-64 main battle tanks, and 10,000 T-62 main battle tanks, totaling more than 38,000 tanks in the former Soviet Union, for which we have to invest more than 100 million dollars to build a new special tank base." General Logistics Minister Myers said with a sad face.
Shenma, the high-level members of a group of mercenary regiments, were almost frightened by this number, what a terrifying former Soviet Union, this is still left to part of Russia's family fund, if it has not disintegrated now, what kind of situation will it be?
The mercenary corps is not only the tanks of the former Soviet Union, but also more than 4,600 Abrams main battle tanks of the United States and 1,200 German Leopard 2A4 main battle tanks, all of which add up, which is definitely more than one grade higher than the steel torrent of the former Soviet Union.
"I know what the Russian government means, they don't have the money to maintain these former Soviet main battle tanks, let alone so many tank crews, and most of the main battle tanks, the models have long been outdated, except for the number of no advantage."
"This will not work, we must make full use of these resources of the former Soviet Union, even if it is another hundred years, we are afraid that we will not have the ability to build so many tanks, that is the huge production capacity of the special system. The chassis of the T-72 main battle tank, the T-64 main battle tank and the T-62 main battle tank are basically the same. ”
"The T-72 main battle tank does not care, it will form a steel torrent with the Abrams main battle tank, the T-80 main battle tank and the Leopard 2A4 main battle tank, which can be used for at least ten years, of course, it will also be modernized, using the current cutting-edge electronic equipment and composite armor, especially depleted uranium armor."
"The T-64 and T-62 main battle tanks, some of which are converted into two-hundred-twenty-mm multiple rocket launchers, some of which are carriers of surface-to-air missiles and anti-tank missiles, and some of which are self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, are an important part of the steel torrent."
"The T-55 main battle tank is a classic medium tank, very suitable for fighting in mountainous and complex environments, and it is easy to airdrop, the firepower and defense capabilities of the airborne division are not satisfactory, I decided to take the best of the tanks in the situation, and remodel them for the airborne division. However, the engine power of this tank was too small, the speed was too slow, and the power of the gun was too weak, which required engineers to make new attempts when the main body could not be changed. ”
"I'm not a miser, those that are troublesome to repair or use for too long, two ways, one is to sell to poor countries, all of them are waste, the quality of the former Soviet Union's military industry is still very good, and the second is to throw it directly into the steelmaking furnace and return to the furnace, and then add other metals to make alloys, which can be regarded as renewable resources." Wu Chen thought for a while and said.
In the end, it is the boss, one thought solves the big problem now, tens of thousands of main battle tanks of the former Soviet Union, whether they are outdated or not, just to make these tanks, how much steel resources and human resources will it cost? And except for the military and economic system of the former Soviet Union, other countries simply cannot do it.
The mercenary corps will not have a big battle for a while and a half, and the Abrams main battle tank and the Leopard 2A4 main battle tank will be used first, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex 1 main battle tank is also being produced in a steady stream, and the old tank can only be placed in the field, exposed to the wind and sun and rain, and it will rust in a few years, which is simply a crime.
"I immediately started this work, the former Soviet Union in Ukolan and Russia a number of tank production lines, has been sent to the base with the tanks, the General Logistics Department of the Armored Manufacturing Bureau will set up a large tank factory, all the tanks will be inspected, meet the conditions for reuse to remain, no value sent to the dismantling plant."
"The research department will redesign an engine according to the structure of these tanks, increase the power without increasing the volume, after all, the technology of the former Soviet Union has limitations, and after the transformation plan is approved, we will strive to complete the transformation project of all tanks within five years." Myers said.
