Chapter 456: Fit is the best

In accordance with the requirements of the mercenary corps, the US Navy carried out a large-scale modernization of two aircraft carriers and two battleships, mainly to repair and maintain the power system and weapon system, and to make major changes in ship electrical equipment, such as radar and fire control systems, using the standard equipment of Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers.

Two aircraft carriers cost five million dollars each, and two battleships cost one million dollars each, which is much better than selling to a shipbreaking yard, but in reality, this money is not enough to upgrade an aircraft carrier.

The U.S. military's explanation for this is that the mercenary corps are at war with those trafficking groups in the Silver Triangle, and the state has the responsibility and obligation to help the mercenaries improve their combat effectiveness, which is not a matter of money, but out of strategic considerations.

The four aircraft carriers of the Forrestal class of the United States, the four aircraft carriers of the Kitty Hawk class, and the one aircraft carrier of the Enterprise class have all become the main naval force of the mercenary corps, especially the Forrestal class, which is an aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of 80,000 tons!

Don't look at how difficult it is for aircraft carriers, how difficult it is to return, and what kind of environment it is. The main force of the United States now is the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and by the way, the development of Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, in addition to the ten ships that have been aided to the Golden Triangle International Security Company, more than a dozen aircraft carriers have also been decommissioned, which are currently parked in military ports waiting to be processed, and these outdated old aircraft carriers are not so important to the Navy.

As a matter of fact, with the current aircraft carrier formation, no country in the world dares to compare its navy with the United States, and no matter how much it is, it will have no meaning, but it will cost a huge amount of military spending, so it is better to use this money to improve the combat capability of the navy and develop sophisticated weapons and equipment.

The Golden Triangle International Security Company has become the main force of the United States in foreign warfare, and the core cooperation is to protect Ukolan, contain Russia's convenient passage to open the Mediterranean, and form a huge protective umbrella for Eastern European countries and the whole of Europe.

Moreover, the highlight of this administration's eight-year tenure, the three anti-narcotics operations in the Golden Triangle, Mexico, and the Silver Triangle, were all carried out by mercenaries, which were highly praised by the people of the United States and the world.

It is precisely because of such strategic purposes that the US government will successively equip the mercenary corps with sophisticated equipment, all of which come from the relationship of interests, and with the formation of Ukolan, the European part is safe. The Americans are not so generous, the United States bears half of the military spending of mercenaries in Ukolan, and the rest is evenly distributed among NATO member states.

"It seems that the mercenary corps is really in financial difficulties, and it actually wants to stop the mission of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and also develop battleships and propeller fighters, without the backing of a strong country with a strong economic foundation, no matter how strong the mercenary organization is, I am afraid that it will be short-lived, and it will soon turn from a heyday to a period of decline." The president said with a smile.

"The equipment of our US army is all cutting-edge technology, and it costs money to use it, and the mercenary corps is equipped too much, and with the little profit of their military industry, they can't afford to support it at all, and it is only a matter of time before a predicament arises."

"However, the spiritual leader instructor of this mercenary organization obviously saw the threat, so he changed his thinking, the mercenary corps should take the way of conventional weapons warfare, and the treatment has also been greatly reduced, I heard that it has been reduced by at least half, and the attraction is not so great." said the Minister of Defense.

"The United States will need mercenaries to share a lot of tasks in the future, and this company must not be allowed to collapse like this, if those sophisticated weapons and equipment fall into the hands of other countries, especially Huaxia, it will be a disaster for the United States, so I propose to implement economic assistance to mercenaries and operate in the name of the CIA, and the Silver Triangle operation is estimated to last until the end of the year, and we can use this name to support." said the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

"It's not impossible to operate this plan, the mercenary corps' annual military expenditure is only five or six billion US dollars, but the same number of American troops, the cost will be three to four times higher, plus this mercenary organization is currently in a serious conflict with France, we have no problem bearing half of the military spending, anyway, it is not a long-term behavior." The President is deeply impressed by this.

The U.S. military continues to transfer weapons and equipment to mercenary corps, which is no longer news in China, so the news media don't bother to pay attention to this at all.

The two aircraft carriers, the Forrest and the Assault, require 11,000 naval officers and men to operate, and the battleships Iowa and Wisconsin require 3,600 naval officers and men to operate.

Even so, in order to apply for the quota of the mercenary corps, the headquarters of the Golden Triangle International Security Company has received more than 200,000 applications, and all of them have rich experience in naval work, and at least half of them have been retired from aircraft carriers.

How could this be the case? Because the navy of the mercenary corps is known as the safest and most comfortable pension force in the world! From its establishment to the present, it has hardly carried out any combat missions, except for the Ukolan part of the fleet, which needs to cruise regularly, and the rest of the warships sleep in the military port.

Idle eggs earn 60,000 US dollars a year, even in the United States, they can't find such a good job, there are many fools in this world, but there are more smart people, those retired officers and soldiers of the US Navy, the first choice is to join the Navy of the mercenary corps, stay for ten years, and you can retire comfortably with a lot of money!

The mercenary corps bought the two old Iowa-class battleships of the United States and prepared to join the active service of the Navy, this message does not matter to ordinary people, but for the military of various countries, it is a signal that equipment such as battleships has returned!

"The boss got the battleships of the US Navy for the operation in New Caledonia and Polynesia, right? This kind of main warship during World War II is a fatal killer for the local French garrison, and the range of 40 kilometers can completely cover their military camps. Hunter called.

"It's hard for us to guess the boss's thinking, in the future, our Navy will have twelve brand-new battleships in service, oh, by the way, it can't be considered a battleship, but a kind of close-range fire support ship! We'll talk about the details later, how are your negotiations with the French, and I'm tired if they don't end. Thompson said.

"The negotiations just ended last night, and the people on both sides are actually going crazy, but no one is willing to let go of their mouths in the stalemate stage, and the reason why there is a sudden turn for the better is because the more than 100 people of the nuclear submarine can not hold on, and the French government is under strong pressure from domestic public opinion, and has to make concessions first, from this moment on, the Reckless has become another model of our navy, and France will compensate for the loss of 300 million US dollars." Hunter said with a smile.
