NATO is not the NATO of Europe, although most of the member states are from Northern Europe, Western Europe and Eastern Europe, NATO is the NATO of the United States, and the influence of the superpower is reflected here, the expansion has to be decided by the Americans, whether to approve the joining or not is still up to the Americans, the military bosses only have the power to negotiate, and the power to make decisions is in the Congress, in the Senate!

But Wu Chen knows that Russia's hand can be regarded as poking at the weakness of the US government, and its own gate has been blocked by others, so what if there is still spare time to engage in NATO's eastward expansion? Cuba is the key to the Gulf of Mexico, and it is so close to the United States mainland that it directly threatens the security of the country. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the eyes of the U.S. government, Russia has declined, and even if it inherits most of the legacy of the former Soviet Union, it is still a second-rate country.

Russia's current finances are all supported by the export of oil and natural gas, but the price of crude oil in the international market is only $20 a barrel, which is barely enough for the cost of exploitation.

Although NATO's eastward expansion is a key link in the unipolar world strategy, the US Government is within the next three to five years, and it does not matter if it agrees. At present, because of the mercenary corps, the armed forces are replacing sophisticated weapons and equipment on a large scale, and even selling them cheaply with free aid, which has consumed about a quarter of the family foundation of the US navy, army, and air force in a few years, and the navy has performed particularly prominently, but this has also brought about the largest renewal of the armed forces, totaling $300 billion to $500 billion.

For example, thirty new B-2 upgraded stealth strategic bombers will take a long time to enter service, three hundred Raptor fighters have not been produced, and the Super Hornet carrier-based aircraft also need to be replenished, as well as those Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers Burke-class missile destroyers, Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and Virginia-class attack nuclear submarines and Ohio-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines, it will take time to build them if they have money!

First of all, out of security considerations, the US government will absolutely not allow Russia to station troops at its doorstep, even if it does not deploy nuclear missiles, today does not know what will happen tomorrow, in case Russia wants to fight to the death?"

"Secondly, for the sake of the image of the United States, a superpower, to create a global unipolar world strategy, it is impossible for the US government to allow such a thing to happen, which will make NATO member states feel disappointed and threatened, believing that the United States cannot suppress Russia."

"Another point is that the U.S. government will hold a presidential election next month, and at this time, His Excellency the incumbent president will try his best to calm down this matter as quickly as possible and draw a successful end to his term, and appropriate concessions are not impossible."

"To put it mildly, the US government does not think that the current Russian government can challenge itself, at most it is a provocation, after all, the Warsaw Pact has become history, and without this powerful strategic barrier, there is no need to rush the contest between the two sides, not to mention that there is Ukolan in the middle." Wu Chen made his own judgment.

"Teacher, Russia wants to cooperate with Ukolan to re-establish a military base, do you think this is possible?" Park Kim said what he had always wanted to say, that with Ukolan remaining neutral, it would be extremely difficult for Russia to intimidate Europe.

"The mercenary corps have received hundreds of billions of dollars of support from the United States, and the navy has ranged from Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers to USS Midway conventionally powered aircraft carriers, from Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers to Ali Burke-class missile destroyers, from Spruance-class missile destroyers to Perry-class frigates, from Ohio-class cruise missile nuclear submarines to Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines, and now Sturgeon-class attack nuclear submarines and Lafayette-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines, as well as the well-known Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarines."

"From Wasp-class amphibious assault ships, Iwo Jima-class amphibious assault ships to Tarawa-class amphibious assault ships, from Sacramento-class supply ships to Wichita-class supply ships, from Austin-class and Anchorage-class dock landing ships to Newport-class tank landing ships, from Seastallion helicopters to Sea Knight helicopters, from Seahawk anti-submarine helicopters to E-2C carrier-based AWACS, from F-14 Tomcat carrier-based aircraft to F-18 Hornet-based carrier-based aircraft, and the famous Iowa-class battleships."

"The Air Force ranges from F-15 Eagle fighters, F-16 Falcon fighters to A-10 Thunderbolt attack aircraft, from F-117A Nighthawk fighter-bombers, B-1B strategic bombers to B-52 strategic bombers, from C-5 strategic transport aircraft, C-17 strategic tactical transport aircraft, C-130 tactical transport aircraft to C-141 tactical transport aircraft, and E-3 early warning aircraft."

"On the Army side, from Abrams main battle tanks, Bradley infantry fighting vehicles to cavalry fighting vehicles to armored transporters, from Apache gunships to Black Hawk multi-role helicopters, from Kiowa reconnaissance helicopters, Black Hawk electronic warfare helicopters to aerial gunboats, and multiple rocket launchers."

"Your Excellency the President, the reason why the mercenary corps has the world's second largest powerful force in terms of gold content and quantity of weapons and equipment, and the reason why the United States still pays for the Ukolan mercenary corps troops, is because of this role." Wu Chen did not answer Park Kim's question directly.

Park Jin nodded, and did not continue the topic, he also knew that Wu Chen had listed so much data, which was nothing more than to tell him that Ukolan's interception of Russia's westward route was a key factor in the cooperation between the mercenary corps and the US government, and it was a matter of principle for the mercenary corps, and it was impossible to make concessions.

The final subject of the Kunashir Island military exercise was the test of the nemesis gunship, the king of land warfare, with the participation of the Longbow Apache and Cobra of the United States, the newly equipped Tiger of Europe, the Ishilia Falcon of South Africa, the Mongoose of Italy, the Mi-28 of Russia, and the Immortal-1 of the Golden Triangle Federation.

The directors of the exercise changed the original plan of the helicopter attack on the armor, and the first step was to use anti-tank missiles for each type of helicopter gunship to attack the main battle tanks that had been scrapped during the competition the day before yesterday to see how accurate they were.

In the second step, a group of airborne troops will use specially designed man-portable anti-aircraft missiles to launch attacks on helicopter gunships to test the level of infrared detection technology and countermeasure technology. The third step is to fight one-on-one to see who finds who first and locks the other party first.

The result is really no suspense, the Immortal Bird-1 helicopter with stealth coating, infrared suppression technology and non-reflective camouflage materials and other designs, accurate hit rate and abundant power ranked first, Apache helicopter gunship ranked second, only in terms of hidden concept lost to the Immortal Bird 1, infrared detection and radar lock lost two battles.

Russia's proud Mi-28 helicopter gunship ranks third, with simple operation, fierce firepower, and durability, which is what people say about this helicopter, and it is not inferior to the Longbow Apache gunship. The newly produced Tiger gunship in Europe ranked fourth, followed by South Africa's Stone Tea Falcon in fifth and Italy's Mongoose in sixth.
