The military parade of the founding ceremony of the Golden Triangle Federation gathered the world's first-class troops and the most sophisticated weapons and equipment, representing the pinnacle of military technology of the United States and the former Soviet Union during the Cold War, and it is also the ultimate that conventional weapons can achieve at present, and will surely become a classic scene of military parades in all countries in the world.

The fly in the ointment is that the military parade can only show the strong strength of the army and air force, and the more powerful navy needs a separate parade, and Wu Chen will not be like the third brother's family, putting the models of aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines in a large basin and pulling them into the parade ground, is this particularly funny, okay?

"Because of our poor financial situation in the early stage, we only cared about making money to maintain our operations, but we forgot one thing, and sold cutting-edge air force equipment such as the Shield Guardian series and Haidongqing stealth fighters to the local tyrants of those Gulf countries in advance, and as a result, we had a lot of F-14, F-15, F-16 and F-18 fighters left, and now we can't find a suitable buyer!"

"It is definitely not possible to sell cheaply, and the US government will not agree, that is called destroying the market, the price of US foreign sales is getting higher and higher day by day, but it is expensive, and the rest of the countries cannot afford it!" Miles said a little depressed.

It is an inevitable trend for new equipment to replace old equipment, and mercenary regiments cannot all be old equipment, and their own air force should also be equipped with at least half of the advanced fighters, leaving or mothballing the best of the second-hand fighters, and selling the rest to the outside world to make money.

"The number of fighter pilots in the mercenary corps is far from enough, and our financial resources cannot support the consumption of more than 2,000 fighters, so we have to sell a batch of second-hand fighters, the F-14 Tomcat fighter is out of print, and it should not be sold to the outside world for the time being, the F-15 Eagle fighter retains ten squadrons in the best condition, that is, two hundred and forty aircraft, and one hundred and twenty-eight are sold externally, and the F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter retains the best fifty squadrons, that is, 1,200 aircraft, and 500 aircraft are sold externally, All 240 F-18 Hornet fighters were sold, and 300 Super Hornet carrier-based aircraft were retained. ”

"There is still a problem with your thinking, it is not the local tyrants of the Gulf countries who have the money to buy aircraft, such as Yindu needs fighter jets very much, Brazil is the same, these two countries have the ability to pay, we can allow the exchange of resources for equipment, such as Argentina and Venezuela, it is completely possible to exchange the minerals of their own countries for fighter jets, in addition, Southeast Asian countries also have a certain purchasing power, we have this aircraft, there is no need to find local tyrants, their concept is to only buy expensive and not buy right." Wu Chen said with a smile.

Wu Chen said that these kinds of fighters made by the United States are all mature models that have been tested on the battlefield for a long time, and their performance is excellent and very stable, and there is no problem in using them against countries other than the United States, and they also meet the combat needs at the present stage, and there is no need to use all fifth-generation fighters, which is a waste of resources.

Wu Chen's memory is very clear, until his soul travels through time and space, the fifth-generation fighter has not been used on a large scale on the battlefield, because there are too few countries that can develop and manufacture fifth-generation aircraft, and the mainstream fighter is still a fourth-generation aircraft, according to his calculations, it will take at least thirty years or even more to truly enter the era of fifth-generation aircraft combat.

Although the fifth-generation fighters of the mercenary regiment have reached the basic conditions, they are only equipped with a small part, mainly for export, which is indeed worth the price for those countries that do not have R&D and manufacturing capabilities, and they will not suffer a loss if they buy it.

But in Wu Chen's mind, these fifth-generation aircraft are still far from their own requirements, and there is still a lot of room for improvement, as long as they do not fight with the United States, the fourth-generation aircraft is enough, and the fifth-generation aircraft equipped are experimental products, and defects and deficiencies are found in use, and when the technology is fully mature, that is the time to manufacture equipment on a large scale.

"The 27 Sturgeon-class attack nuclear submarines and the 20 Lafayette-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines have been re-extended by the US Navy, which can ensure normal operation for 10 to 15 years, and the nuclear reactors and steam turbines have been repaired and maintained, and the necessary electronic equipment has also been replaced, and there is no problem at all in navigation. Genesys said.

"These are two kinds of nuclear submarines that have been eliminated by the US Navy, and they do not have any advantages in terms of technical level, such as the Sturgeon-class attack nuclear submarine, which does not have a vertical launch system for Tomahawk cruise missiles, and its weapons are only four 533 mm torpedo tubes, and the one that has been in service for the longest time has been for 31 years! And the Lafayette-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine is even more outrageous, and the shortest one in service is also thirty-seven years old, which is a real antique! ”

"With the current industrial and technological strength, although these nuclear submarines can be prolonged, the safe service life is at most ten years, and fifteen years are a bit reluctant, so you don't take other countries for fools, I plan to sell these nuclear submarines at one time."

"After all, a nuclear submarine is a nuclear submarine, a killer weapon for a military power, and an important part of the nuclear triad, even if the old nuclear submarine is not comparable to conventional submarines, and after being equipped with torpedoes and cruise missiles, it can fully perform conventional tactical strike missions, and it is still a good nuclear submarine training platform, which is somewhat tempting for those countries that are interested in developing and manufacturing nuclear submarines or buying nuclear submarines."

"This tender is still based on the reserve price of $300 million a year, and the mercenary corps is responsible for the repair and maintenance within ten years, including the guidance on the use of nuclear submarines, and if the lease fee is settled at one time, the nuclear submarines will become the property of the leasing country, the only difference is that the mercenary corps will not carry out modern and cutting-edge technological transformation of these nuclear submarines, nor will they be equipped with modern weapons and equipment, and can only ensure normal use and self-defense capabilities, and it will be announced to the public in accordance with this standard."

"Brazil leases three attack nuclear submarines and two ballistic missile nuclear submarines, Turkey has ten attack nuclear submarines and five ballistic missile nuclear submarines, Canada has two attack nuclear submarines and two ballistic missile nuclear submarines, and the nuclear submarines leased by these three countries are still executed according to the contract, however, I allow the contract to be modified and only charge 30 percent of the liquidated damages." Wu Chen said.

The difference between nuclear submarines and conventional submarines is power, nuclear reactors can make submarines have theoretically unlimited endurance, and can lurk underwater for a long time, it is not easy to expose their whereabouts, Huaxia nuclear submarines have created a ninety days underwater record, which can be said to be an unguardable deep-sea ghost.

In the same way, in the event of a nuclear war, even if the strategic strike forces of the Air Force and Army are destroyed, nuclear submarines can be used to carry out a second nuclear strike, hiding at a depth of several hundred meters in the ocean, and it is indeed very difficult for the enemy to find them.

Even if it is a conventional tactical operation, the nuclear submarine has a much greater advantage than ordinary submarines, and can attack the target for a long distance to achieve a surprise effect, even if it is discovered, the probability of survival is much higher, modern sound reduction measures, the depth of diving, high-speed navigation, unlimited endurance, etc., are all important factors.

The navy belongs to the high-tech arms of the armed forces, and the officers and men of nuclear submarines are even more elite members of the navy.

And everyone knows that training a qualified nuclear submarine operator, with the help of a training platform, can shorten the training time and improve the quality of operation, in comparison, hundreds of millions of dollars to buy a retired nuclear submarine, that is not a loss-making deal.
