After breakfast, Wu Chen was invited to a small conference room and began to discuss specific cooperation matters. Pen & Fun & Ge www.biquge.info As for what happened to him and Meng Lisa last night, no one present bothered to mention it, is that still a matter?

"The presidential office has approved the military to send a high-level military observation team to participate in the exercises to be held on Kunashir Island, and I will personally lead the team, and more than a dozen major generals of the navy, army, and air force will also go with me." Minister Oran first set the tone for the talks.

In fact, there is nothing to talk about, it is nothing more than a matter of attitude, to implement the things discussed last night, as for military purchases, Wu Chen only ordered 400 Mika medium-range air-to-air missiles, ready to equip his 100 Su-27 all-weather heavy fighters.

The price given by the French government is $1 million per missile, and a full set of production technology has been transferred, and in good conscience, Wu Chen really made a big bargain, and sold it to the third brother's family for $2.5 million each.

Finally, there is a kind of equipment that can make Wu Chen look at it, and a group of generals also feel that they can't hold their faces, when did the dignified French weapons and equipment actually fall to this point? But against cattle people like Wu Chen, they don't have any temper at all, people are more damned than people, and goods should be thrown away!

"Mr. Wu Chen, if it weren't for our repeated screening of the intelligence department's reports, I really can't believe that the strength of the mercenary corps would be so terrifying, nearly 3,000 fighters, more than 500 strategic bombers, more than 400 strategic transport planes and more than 3,000 helicopters, 10 aircraft carriers, more than 100 warships and more than 30 nuclear submarines, more than 20,000 main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and armored transport vehicles, these alone are enough to fight a full-scale war with any country!" The Chief of Staff of the Army said with a look of envy.

Many of the generals present were dumbfounded, thinking that they had misheard, the eldest brother of the chief of staff had made a mistake in the digits, right? I know that the mercenary corps has the support of the US government, but I didn't expect it to reach such a level, oh my God, fortunately I didn't turn my face with the mercenary corps, if you don't use nuclear bombs, the opponent can directly bulldoze France!

More than 90 percent of the mercenary corps is all active equipment of the US army, and no matter how advanced France's weapons are, can they be stronger than the United States? The Leclerc main battle tank is indeed advanced enough, claiming to be a fourth-generation tank, but the mercenary corps now has only the Abrams main battle tank and the Leopard 2A4 main battle tank, a total of 5,000 units, which is 5,000 units! France is equipped with more than a hundred Leclerc main battle tanks, is there a comparison?

Helicopters are France's strong point, but whether it is a helicopter gunship or a transport helicopter, it is far from the mercenary corps, there are more than 1,000 Apache helicopter gunships alone, and more than 700 Mi-24s, and they are afraid of it.

Let's talk about fighters, the so-called fourth-generation Rafale fighter has not yet begun to be equipped, and the mercenary corps is just a mature fourth-generation fighter, such as the F-15 Eagle fighter and the F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter, which adds up to nearly two thousand, not counting the Shield Guardian 1 and the Hornet carrier-based aircraft!

There are also strategic bombers, strictly speaking in France, there are no strategic bombers, there was one in the Mirage series before, but in the eyes of the air forces of various countries, it is not a strategic bomber, and the standard strategic bomber, there are more than 500 mercenary regiments.

France does not have a single strategic transport aircraft, and the mercenary corps not only has several hundred, but also mass-produces the An-124 strategic transport aircraft and the An-70 tactical transport aircraft, which are indispensable and important means of modern warfare.

The navy is full of tears, and it is a great shame that it has an aircraft carrier battle group, and it is actually blocked at the door of the house and dare not go to war. But there are some things that you can't solve by getting angry, strength is the root of everything.

The Charles de Gaulle, known as the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in Europe, has not yet been commissioned, and there are four nuclear-powered aircraft carriers alone, three of which are still Nimitz-class! There are also seven conventionally powered aircraft carriers, some of which are of the 100,000-ton class and some of which are of the 80,000-ton class, all of which are equipped with steam catapults, and there are more than 600 carrier-based aircraft.

The main warships are the Wasp-class amphibious assault ships, the Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers and Burke-class destroyers, the Kirov-class nuclear-powered missile cruisers and Virginia-class nuclear-powered missile cruisers, the Spruance-class missile destroyers and Perry-class missile frigates, the Glorious-class missile cruisers and the Hyundai-class missile destroyers.

The nuclear submarines include the Ohio-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine and the Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine of the United States, the Typhoon-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine of the former Soviet Union, the Oscar-class cruise missile nuclear submarine and the Akula-class attack nuclear submarine, and the Alpha-class attack nuclear submarine that has been hanging around in the Black Sea region.

As for those self-propelled artillery, self-propelled rocket artillery, self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery, towed artillery, integrated anti-aircraft artillery, etc., this cannot be counted, how can there be more than 10,000 vehicles, who sees this set of data is not disappointed but desperate!

"I must admit that your country's intelligence department is very meticulous in its work, and I have found out all my family backgrounds, and I do not deny that the amount of weapons and equipment is indeed terrible, but we are all soldiers, and we all know in our hearts that this is not the case."

"France's weapons and equipment are all developed by themselves, there is a complete defense industry system, all the core technologies are mastered, and they can start manufacturing at any time, in my opinion, this is a symbol of a strong country, and the mercenary corps are all second-hand goods, and they have to lie down if they lack a part, and they are very strong on the surface, but they are all showy." Wu Chen said with a smile.

In fact, the work of the French intelligence service is really not very detailed, although the quantitative gap is not large, but the core equipment developed and produced by the mercenary corps itself is not known.

In the early days of the establishment of the mercenary corps, the Golden Triangle had no military industrial foundation at all, so he had to buy second-hand goods in large quantities, and Wu Chen's ultimate goal was to equip his own weapons.

Although Wu Chen deliberately complimented France, most of what he said was also the truth, he now has a headache for the weapons and equipment made by these countries, and spare parts are the core problem. Paralyzing, the weapons made in these countries are not universal, NATO is a standard, Russia is another!

No matter how advanced any equipment is, it will fail, but the question is, how can it be repaired without accessories?

With the capabilities of the Ukolan military-industrial complex, it is indeed possible to imitate the parts of any weapons and equipment, which is not a big obstacle, but in this way, the cost is a big trouble, and the invested funds and manpower cannot be consumed at all.

Wu Chen still honestly listened to the US government's arrangement, because his family's industrial base was still too weak to meet the needs of the operation, and the US government was unhappy and cut off the supply of spare parts, and the combat effectiveness of the mercenary corps should be reduced by at least 30%.
