Chapter 544: Prelude to the Exercise One

Military delegations from 123 countries around the world gathered at the military base on the island, and the few delegations were only three or two people, and the symbolic significance was relatively large. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

For example, some poor countries in Africa and Southeast Asia, such as Cambodia, Laowo, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Central Africa, Liberia, Congo, Afghanistan and Zimbabwe, etc.

Medium-sized delegations range from a few dozen to more than 100 people, such as Thailand, North Korea, India, Vietnam, Sinjiapo, Brazil, Venezuela, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Middle Eastern countries, and some European countries.

A large number of large delegations of more than 300 people, belonging to the lineup of military powers, also participated in the exercise, including the five permanent member countries, Germany, India, Japan, Turkey, South Korea, South Africa, Israel, and so on.

The U.S. side dispatched auxiliary fleets such as rescue ships and hospital ships, a Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser and a Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, a Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine, and an Apache gunship squadron and Abrams main battle tank battalion.

The Russian military sent the most formidable lineup, including the Kuznetsov conventional-powered aircraft carrier, the Peter the Great nuclear-powered missile cruiser, the Varyag conventionally powered missile cruiser, two Dreadnought-class anti-submarine destroyers, two Hyundai-class destroyers, one Yasen-class attack nuclear submarine and one Boreas-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine, as well as gunnery divisions and airborne divisions, helicopter gunship regiments and tank regiments.

The remaining military powers sent two or three warships, helicopter gunships and main battle tanks to test the mercenary legion. As the saying goes, a mule is a horse, and when you pull it out, you want to know what advantages and gaps exist between your own country's weapons and equipment and those of other countries.

Wu Chen took the An-70 transport plane from Kyoto International Airport and came directly to the island, and the commanders of all branches of the mercenary corps and the heads of the headquarters went to the airport to greet him. During this time, the boss was not on the scene to command, and everyone always felt that they lacked the backbone, but fortunately, Wu Chen did what he said and came to the base at the appointed time.

"Boss, Kunashir Island gathers the military elites of most countries in the world, and the most important is also the commander of the military branches, and some countries not only have the defense minister and the chairman of the Joint Staff Committee come, but even the head of state is also here, if something happens at this time, it is called a sad urge!" Coming to the office, Hunter said with a smile.

Sierra Leone, Angola, Somalia and Sudan, known as Africa's four irons, will definitely send their top leaders to support the mercenaries, as well as Algeria, Guinea and Côte d'Ivoire, which are actively moving closer, connecting subsidized Central Africa and Zimbabwe, and the president is also on the scene.

Bangladesh and India in Asia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan and Iraq in the Middle East, and SAARC, Russia, Belarus and Ukolan in Europe, all in the presence of the President, Crown Prince, Prime Minister and Prime Minister.

It can also be seen from this that the Golden Triangle Federation currently has no shortage of allies, especially in Africa and the Middle East, and its influence is growing day by day.

"It's amazing that the world's largest mercenary organization has established cooperative relations with so many countries, although it is largely due to interests, but this situation still shocks me. A few years ago, the mercenary corps was very weak, but it was a small team of more than 100 mercenaries, and in just seven years, it has grown to the point that even the US government has to face it, which cannot but be said to be a miracle. ”

"In the past, even if they had American-made conventionally powered and nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers, Burke-class destroyers, Longbow Apaches, Abrams main battle tanks, B-1B and B-52 strategic bombers, F-15 and F-16 fighter jets, and even Ohio-class cruise missile nuclear submarines and Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines, it was not a threat to us because they did not have the capability to develop independently."

"It wasn't until yesterday that I saw the main battle tanks and helicopter gunships they developed, and I understood that the level of military manufacturing technology of the mercenary corps has reached the world's first-class level, and this Immortal Bird 1 gunship is no less than our Longbow Apache helicopter gunship, this Tyrannosaurus Rex 1 main battle tank, not only has an automatic turret, but also uses depleted uranium armor, no wonder these countries give the mercenary corps so face." The U.S. Secretary of Defense was idle, basking in the sun outside the hotel with Selena.

"Your Excellency, from the shape and weapon design of the Immortal Bird gunship, you can see a lot of shadows of the longbow Apache, which is nothing more than an upgraded version, the depleted uranium armor of the Tyrannosaurus Rex 1 main battle tank is probably also inspired by the depleted uranium armor of our Abrams main battle tank, and the unmanned turret is the technology obtained from the Leclerc main battle tank, I don't think that the weapons and equipment of the mercenary regiment are more advantageous than the United States."

"Our United States ranks first in the world in scientific research and industrial strength, which is recognized by all countries in the world, and its weapons and equipment are at least ten years more advanced than other countries! The mercenary corps only recruited some weapons experts from the former Soviet Union, and when it comes to research and development technology, we are still far from it, and I think the most advantageous advantage of the other side is that it can absorb other people's technology and make it compatible, and then imitate it, which seems to be very powerful, but in fact, it can only follow the United States for development, and this is the biggest shortcoming. Selena said unconcernedly.

"What you said is also reasonable, the industrial strength and scientific research capability of the United States have taken many years to develop to the current point, and the Golden Triangle Federation is a resource-poor region without any industrial base and educational foundation, let alone engaged in cutting-edge military research and development."

"At present, mercenaries are relying on arms exports to exchange dollars and oil for Middle Eastern countries, listen, a helicopter gunship actually costs 80 million US dollars, which is comparable to two Longbow Apache gunships, and a tank costs 20 million US dollars, which is comparable to three Abrams main battle tanks, and the selling price is simply outrageous, which scares several countries that want to purchase it and never mention it again." The Minister of Defense said with a smile.

"The weapons and equipment manufactured by mercenaries can only be afforded by the wealthy Middle Eastern countries in the world, their money is easy to come by, and they are generous to spend, no wonder domestic arms dealers are complaining that arms exports have fallen to the lowest point in history because of mercenaries, and Middle Eastern countries have given some upgrade contracts." Selena said.

"There is no way to do this, the US government exports weapons and equipment to the Middle East, first of all, it must take into account Israel's reaction, but also consider domestic laws, and has to take some simplifying measures, this approach also offends Middle Eastern countries, seeking new partners, we can't blame anything." said the Minister of Defense.
