Chapter 452: Help suppress
The U.S. government was indeed disgusted by the rogue behavior of the French, and after the President proposed that Congress unanimously approve the military operation of the Golden Triangle International Security Company, it was a real material support, not a verbal support. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In view of the fact that the main force of this operation is the navy, the US government has decided to activate an emergency war plan, give full play to the production potential of General Electric Ships, Bath Steel Works and Ingalls Shipyard, and support two Wasp-class amphibious assault ships and six Burke-class destroyers, 24 LCAC air-cushion landing craft, and 300 LVTP-7 amphibious armored transport vehicles.
In order to better carry out the mission, the U.S. government has decided to assist the mercenary corps with 10 sets of Global Hawk UAS that have not yet been officially installed, and another 100 Predator UAV combat systems, which will be manufactured and delivered to the mercenaries within five months.
An even bigger surprise is that the U.S. government has assisted four Virginia-class nuclear-powered missile cruisers that were decommissioned only at the end of last year, and will do a complete maintenance of the nuclear reactors, upgrade all electronic equipment and weapons systems, and install the Aegis combat system.
To Wu Chen's surprise, the US Government will provide technology and equipment to convert the remaining six Ohio-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines into cruise missile nuclear submarines. Ballistic missile nuclear submarines are mainly launched ICBMs, and since the mercenaries do not have such missiles, the Ohio-class is tantamount to waste.
To this end, the presidential administration and the Ministry of Defense have made joint efforts, dispersed to more than 100 projects under various names, and given a large amount of matching funds to mercenary corps, and some of them are paid through the operations of the CIA. On the surface, there are not many of them, and the maximum number of a project is one or two hundred million dollars, and the few are only a few million dollars, but taken together, this number is too unbelievable.
"Boss, it's a pity, the Ohio-class is the best ballistic missile nuclear submarine in the world, and after being converted into a cruise missile nuclear submarine, our strategic strike force will be greatly affected, I think it's better not to transform it." Thompson said.
"I have always told you that nuclear missiles are paper tigers, which can only play a role in strategic deterrence, and cannot be used in actual combat, and the United States and Russia together have nearly 20,000 nuclear warheads, and they do not spend a lot of money on maintenance and renewal every year?"
"If you don't launch an ICBM, the Ohio-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine will have no effect, and it has been manufactured for more than 24 years, so it is indeed not suitable for use as a ballistic missile nuclear submarine, and the safety of ocean-going navigation is a problem, and it is good to transform it into a cruise missile nuclear submarine."
"Our next focus is on the Deep Blue-class attack nuclear submarine and the Atlantis-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine, the Russian Yasen-class attack nuclear submarine K-329, and the Borean God ballistic missile nuclear submarine K-535, which was resold to us the year before last and began to be manufactured at the Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard, and it has been more than two years now."
"According to the progress of manufacturing, the cycle of a nuclear submarine is about three and a half years, and at most one year will be in service, and with new equipment, old equipment is not so important, not to mention that we ourselves have six upgraded Typhoon-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines in service." Wu Chen said with a smile.
"The U.S. Navy has begun a large-scale upgrade of the four nuclear-powered missile cruisers, replacing them with new nuclear reactor fuel rods, conducting detailed inspections and maintenance of various parts, and using the same standards for Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers in electronic systems and equipment."
"The most important thing is to replace the MK-2 eight-mounted vertical launch system capable of launching Tomahawk cruise missiles and Standard-41 anti-aircraft missiles, with eight front and rear ones, and the twin MK-26 launchers will be retained, mainly for launching Asroc anti-submarine missiles, which can be completed in a maximum of three months with the technical strength and equipment of the United States." Thompson said.
"These four are not comparable with the Kirov-class nuclear-powered missile cruisers, the tonnage is low and the firepower is weak, if it were not for the US Navy to modernize, I would not want it, there are as many advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power, and it is also a trouble when dismantling."
"In fact, my favorite is the Global Hawk UAV system, the Predator UAV is also good, our military experts should crack the technology as soon as possible and imitate it, and the mercenary corps will have a large number of equipment in the future, which is also one of the best ways to reduce casualties." Wu Chen said with a sigh.
It is an indisputable fact that the scientific research strength of the superpower of the United States cannot but be admired, similar to the Global Hawk UAS, which will also rank first in the world in another twenty years.
Of course, Wu Chen knows the future development trend, UAVs will be the main force of war, and they can even fight against fighters, and the mercenary corps must form its own research and development system as soon as possible.
When he went to the bathroom to wash, Wu Chen looked in the mirror, and was so frightened that he almost threw away his toothbrush, Nima, what the hell, why do you have so many lipstick marks on your face, could it be that you were bullied last night?
Chittagong was the first port leased by mercenaries, and along the confluence of the Gornopuri River and the Bay of Bengal, the Navy built several artificial docks, a repair yard, and two dry docks capable of parking aircraft carriers.
Why do you have to spend so much money on building a naval base here? For three reasons, first, it is very close to India, which can form a strong check on the growing concept of Indian Ocean hegemony of the third brother.
The second is that Bangladesh contains huge oil and gas resources, which is the main guarantee for the supply of the Golden Triangle Federation, whether it is people's livelihood or military, oil and gas are needed to support development, vehicles and aircraft need all kinds of oil, and life is inseparable from natural gas.
Then there is the rise of the military industry, which can bring many jobs to Bangladesh, with more than 6,000 locals working in a shipyard alone, and more than 4,000 senior technicians and engineers from various countries.
"I said, why do you keep looking at me with such strange eyes, and I feel uncomfortable, what the hell is going on?" Wu Chen sat on the luxury bus with a depressed face, looked at the group of big beauties around him who were blind, and said very dissatisfied.
"You don't sleep and don't remember anything, do you? ......As soon as Ivanka said this, Ambrosio reached out and covered her mouth, and a seductive red cloud appeared on her face.
This is not the end, Wu Chen was surprised to see that Heidi, Adriana, Miranda, and Giselle girls were all blushing, Giselle and Heidi didn't even dare to raise their heads, he suddenly shut up and didn't dare to ask, it must have happened while drinking!
