James was a little anxious.

No matter what, nominally he is the boss of the defense company, even if Yang Hao is the big boss behind him, but after all, he is still a director who holds a considerable proportion of equity, right? It was unreasonable for him to send troops to fight such a big thing, and he didn't even know about it.

For a moment, the hearts of the Jewish warmongers were a little unbalanced.

He was also simply, what he thought in his heart, he put it directly on his face, not afraid that Yang Hao would not be able to see that he was emotional. Of course, deep down in his heart, he had already regarded Yang Hao as an omnipotent demon king, and he didn't even bother to hide it.

Yang Hao looked sideways at his constipated expression, and couldn't help but smile: "I didn't notify you in advance because the troops dispatched are not currently in the establishment of the defense company." They were all Russian mercenaries under Leoni, and they carried out shady actions. If you tell you, it will only make you embarrassed. Now, it's a good thing that you can justifiably dissociate yourself from the relationship. ”

It turned out that this was the case, and James felt that his feelings were taken care of, and his emotions suddenly eased a lot.

If you think about it, he can understand it too. Yang Hao's confrontation with the Americans and the big shots behind him is already on the table, and it is actually very uncomfortable for him, a Jew, to be caught in the middle. Because he was afraid of Yang Hao's terrifying ability, he didn't dare to rashly choose a position, so he could only cover his head and pretend to be stupid, but he definitely couldn't stand up openly to support Yang Hao.

Don't look at him now as the boss of the world's top defense companies, there are five or six people who are messing with the Pentagon all day long, and many members of Congress are guests. When it comes to the high-level struggle field, he is just a scum who was crushed to death casually. Once the illusion of "I'm a big shot" rises up. Then death is not far away.

Yang Hao pulled Leoni out. Borrowing the name of a defense company to make a small move. He pretended not to see, and at best he really didn't know. In this way, when the U.S. government came to his door for questioning, he was not afraid of polygraphs.

James knows more about ISIS than most through the relationship between the Pentagon and Congress. As Yang Hao judged, in fact, this group of terrorists who were nominally born from the al-Qaeda organization were simply mad dogs released by the Americans to bite people.

Let's analyze it from several aspects.

Let's talk about their organizational style first, there is an obvious large group management and operation model. From top to bottom, the authority is clear and the responsibilities are clear, no matter how many forces are added from outside, the division of labor can be clear and appropriate. A well-defined leadership body with clear responsibilities is established, and no matter how much the branches below are added, it will not lead to chaos. Therefore, ISIS can defeat the strong with the weak, attack everywhere with a mere few thousand troops, and beat the Iraqi government army and Kurdish forces plus the Syrian opposition to the point of a bruised nose and swollen face, and retreat!

This alone makes them different from terrorist organizations or rebels in the ordinary sense of the word.

But here's the problem. Being able to manage thousands of risk-takers from all over the world is a scarce resource, even in multinational corporations. How can ISIS, a group of terrorists, attract such people to join? Who would believe that there is no support from the big countries behind it!

Secondly, look at their strategy and tactics.

From the very beginning of its establishment, ISIS has made it clear that it wants to build a nation. A series of actions have been carried out around this core goal.

When they launched their large-scale operation, they first chose the Kurdish territory in Mosul, which was beyond the reach of Iraqi government forces and difficult to obtain US support. Three times five divided by two, simply open a large area of base areas, and get more space for war in one fell swoop.

The Mosul region is strategically located in Erbil, an important oil-producing region to the east, Syria to the west, Turkey to the north, and Baghdad to the south.

What kind of strategic vision can ordinary terrorists have? Bin Laden was so crazy back then, wasn't he hiding in Tibet, for fear of being tossed to death by the NATO forces led by the Yankees? You know, they are black hands cultivated by Lao Mei to cause chaos with other countries, and this is not a secret.

ISIS is a group of remnants of the defeated army, what capital does it have to get out of the rat hole, openly attack the city, and unleash murderous violence with impunity? There is no fear at all!

Who is their backbone, and who gives them so much self-confidence? The oil tyrant Saudi Arabia can't take care of itself, and he can't do anything else except spend money on arms and peace. Turkey? If it weren't for the fact that the world's major powers needed its strategic buffer, it would have been flattened countless times.

After all, only Americans have the leisure to meddle in chess everywhere.

From the capture of Mosul in June to the rapid expansion in August, the Americans' exaggerated and shoddy performances have fully demonstrated their frustration. The bombing and striking operation of Erbil is more like a game of tacit cooperation, which is simply mocking the IQ of people all over the world and challenging everyone's endurance!

The Americans didn't think it was obvious enough, so they simply surrounded the three corners and left an opening for ISIS to operate, and went west to Syria and south to Baghdad, only to watch them seize the strategic Hades Dam.

Funnily enough, many observers and military theorists around the world have seriously analyzed the consequences of ISIS's occupation of the dam and the drowning of 500,000 people downstream if it detonates and causes flooding. Can't they see that ISIS seized the dam twice before and after, and they didn't have that kind of mind at all? What they want is the rule of the whole of Iraq, where will they inexplicably destroy their own foundations!

The point is, the Americans will not allow it either!

Obviously, every strategy and tactic of ISIS bears traces of careful calculation and execution. The madness, cruelty, ruthlessness, and savagery they display are nothing more than a disguise to fool people. Fundamentally, their core personnel are extremely clear-headed from start to finish!

This is completely different from ordinary terrorists.

As for the fact that a large number of Saudi active duty officers participated in the command, many former Iraqi Defense Force officers joined in, and there were formed mercenaries serving as backbones in it, there was no way to complain. Can ordinary terrorist leaders lead them? Let's go for it!

(Later, the Americans trained dozens of professionals at a sky-high price of $100 million, purportedly to be used against ISIS.) As a result, within a few days, they all ran to the terrorists. It can be seen how frustrating the Americans are. It's really terrorists who have such a great appeal. The level of training and brainwashing in the United States is so scummy, there is nothing in the United States in this world. At the end of the day, they're playing tricks! Billions of dollars of special funds will never be swallowed by the relevant departments, and the real whereabouts can be guessed by looking at the dozens of defectors. ）

Then there is the key issue for ISIS to solve the problem of financial resources.

All the wars that have broken out in the human world since ancient times. Money is the most important factor. Without money, whether it is Alexander or Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, whether it is Genghis Khan or Napoleon, no matter how majestic and strategic, you have to be blind!

As soon as ISIS came up, it raided Mosul and looted the bank vaults there, getting as much as $1.5 billion in funds! Their actions are so precise and the success rate is so high that it is outrageous, which shows that the premeditated plan is not a day or two. If it weren't for someone's deliberate connivance, or covert cooperation, would it have succeeded?

With valuable funds. ISIS's recruitment and expansion of armaments are all logical.

Afterwards. While attacking cities and territories, they burned, killed and looted, and wantonly destroyed cultural relics, classics, and historical sites. Cultural communities around the world bemoaned the tragic fate of ancient Babylonian civilization, but they ignored the fact that ISIS was destroying only things that could not be removed. The rest of the stuff was all collected and sold by them!

In a short period of time, they raised more than a billion or more funds just by selling looted cultural relics, antiques and jewelry! What the exact number is, outsiders have no way of knowing.

Then the question arises, who is selling the stolen goods to ISIS?

According to the many sins committed by these fellows, it is not an exaggeration to call them the public enemy of the entire human race. Everyone had to unite to start a boycott of them, but there were people who cooperated with them and actively helped raise funds! This has to give rise to other ideas.

Obviously, Turkey and the oil tyrants, even if they have money, are not so easy to do. The suspicion of the Americans is still the greatest!

Give money, give strategic and tactical guidance, give management and command teams, and even sit back and watch the bad guys from all over the world smoothly run to Iraq and Syria to join ISIS and make money. Without the connivance of the world police, the United States, where would it be so easy to succeed?

The game is already down, and all that remains is the control link. The United States absolutely does not allow other forces to interfere in and sabotage its long-term plans, and it will certainly not allow defense companies to rush into it. As a result, the Iraqi government, which has been in war for five scum, categorically refused to allow foreign ground forces to enter the war.

Yang Hao will never watch the Americans succeed.

Since he has decided to start with the United States to break the deadlock and successfully carried out the first wave of strikes, he will inevitably continue to carry out the second stage of intervention and sabotage.

However, the open dispatch of armed forces will only attract condemnation and smears from world public opinion controlled by the United States, and even all-round suppression. He can only do it secretly, but the scale is definitely not small.

The main revival organization of the Soviet Union, headed by Leoni and Nikolaev, urgently needed a real battle to train their armed forces so that they could defend the precious fruits of the revolution in the future and help carry out the politico-movement in the Caucasus. The two sides hit it off.

Among its neighbors, Iran is also clearly aware of the problem. Over the years, the Iranians have suffered very hard by the sanctions imposed by the United States with their younger brothers, and they will never miss the opportunity to take revenge. So the problem with borrowing the way is that he is very generous.

Of course, the excuse is very bright and correct, anti-terrorism! Everybody's responsible! And as Iraq's neighbors, they have the responsibility and obligation to help solve the troubles, how good it is!

Putin the Great, who was far away in the north, also saw it thoroughly, and he couldn't spare his hands to break the situation for a while, Yang Hao and a large group of Slavic compatriots stepped forward to help, of course, they were happy to sit back and watch and support. As for the arming of thousands of people that these people will build, he simply does not take it seriously.

China, which has been hiding behind and watching the bustle, also understands. The Americans' connivance and support for ISIS to destabilize the Middle East will seriously affect China's necessary energy security for development, and will lead to the abrupt death of the middle way of the great Belt and Road Initiative, which is absolutely not allowed.

However, China has always pursued the doctrine of non-interventionism with foreign countries, and will not send troops to attack it, nor does it want to completely tear its face with the Americans. We have to find another way to break the game.

Supporting Russia's move is the best way to go. After all, the price of oil that the Americans tossed continues to fall. It has seriously damaged Russia's national interests, and has even brought the little economic improvement that Emperor Putin has managed to run with great difficulty, and has beaten it back to its true colors with a stick. One is not good, Russia will most likely go bankrupt again!

Therefore, it is a matter of time before Russia sends troops, and they don't care about tearing up their faces with the Americans. It is only natural that China promises some benefits in exchange for it.

In such a complicated situation, Yang Hao, an alternative tycoon, made a move. Supporting a group of armed forces to block the Americans is something that all sides are happy to see. If it weren't for that, how could he have obtained so many weapons and equipment so easily, and such convenient basic conditions? There is a shadow of a great power game here!

It can be seen from this that there has never been a simple truth when it comes to the issue of disputes over the world pattern.

Yang Hao has the training and experience of the second plane, and he can easily navigate the vertical and horizontal in it, and his vision and vision are bold, which are not comparable and understood by people of James's level.

The best way to deal with America's breakthrough in the Middle East is to fight ISIS. At the same time, in order to prevent the puppet Iraqi government from seizing the handle, it can only sneak into the village for the time being. But. Gotta shoot!

As the saying goes, if you don't have a chance, create it. ISIS abandons Erbil without fighting, retracts to Mosul? Then attack them directly!

Large-scale ground armed operations are naturally not possible, and Yang Hao chose a small-scale high-mobility special operations mode. At present, four vanguard detachments of one platoon in size quietly advanced in a diamond-shaped formation to the Great Zab River, which crosses the Tigris River, and launched a tentative attack on the outskirts of Mosul.

The task of the special operations detachment is not to storm the city or play ground warfare with ISIS, but to search for the enemy and provide coordinate guidance for the air strike force.

The initial tactics that Yang Hao decided from the beginning were this mode of integrated cooperation between air and ground. The guy who flies in the sky is really the main attacker in the fight against terrorists!

Right now, the screw attack planes that secretly flew over the border were the main force in the early stage of the raid operation.

The propeller attack aircraft that Yang Hao equipped the anti-terrorist force with is not just as backward and inferior as the old man in Nikolaev reacted, but a redesigned and carefully built modern battlefield support fighter. It is based on the classic American AI "Sky Raider" attack aircraft and assembled from existing parts in China.

Work on its design began several years ago.

At that time, it was a period of seamless oil blending and cooperation between Yang Hao and Kenya, the African country. Under the guise of creating practical air force weapons for Kenya to fight anti-terrorist guerrillas, his military came forward and entrusted a certain Chinese institute to help design and manufacture them. China itself has close cooperation with Kenya in arms sales, and in recent years, there has been a list of "Zhijiu" to prove this. Yang Hao was very generous in giving money, so this matter hit it off.

With the reference of AI attack aircraft, the powerful Republic fighter design department has come up with a decent propeller fighter, which is a piece of cake!

On the basis of the mature design of the Americans, the aerodynamic layout has been moderately modified to obtain better and more stable air performance. The fuselage adopts an ultra-light forged main beam skeleton to ensure its strong bearing capacity while reducing its own weight as much as possible. Not only has it increased the amount of internal fuel by hundreds of liters, but the countries have ensured that the two lower wings are enough to carry more than six tons of ammunition and equipment loads!

The engine adopts the mature domestic "Turbo-5", which has a strong power output of up to 2133kw, a life of up to 3000h in the first turn, and a lower fuel consumption rate, which ensures a longer air dominance and a large number of weapons to carry the sailing distance.

Because the initial design is oriented to land-based operations, there is no need to consider the folding of the wings and taxiing take-off, and the sturdy skeleton ensures that it can carry six tons of ammunition in a regular sortie. It's a competent aerial bomb truck!

In order to adapt to the battlefield situation under modern high-tech conditions, the fighter has added a series of advanced avionics equipment, and provided front and rear integrated ejection seats, under-mounted exploration radar, GPS and Beidou navigation and positioning, wing-mounted chaff decoy bombs, and night combat facilities.

The young design team was so imaginative that they even planned to add an advanced bus system to it to increase their weapon payload, from laser-guided bombs to close-range air-to-air combat missiles, or air-to-surface missiles. Its goal is basically aimed at the "super toucan" that is selling well nowadays.

However, then, the cost soared to an outrageous level, and Yang Hao rejected it without hesitation.

What are you kidding, he tossed this thing just to use it for the second plane as the main force! With such a bunch of advanced gadgets, the B plane will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to fully eat and produce independently! That's it, after they get there, they have to be shortened for the time being, leaving it for them to slowly improve their technical level, and then add it back little by little.

Besides, this thing is only used for anti-terrorism in this world, and when it really comes to confronting military powers, even if you install missiles, you will still be abused by jet fighters! Not even a helicopter gunship has ever done it, and it doesn't need to be so extravagant at all.

In this regard, the design institute can only express regret, but they are not reconciled, and after obtaining the permission of the Kenyan side, they continue to improve and improve, and strive to make an advanced battlefield support aircraft that can adapt to the current technical conditions and has extremely high survivability.

But that doesn't have much to do with Yang Hao.

In terms of weapons, two double-barreled 23mm cannons are buried in the two wings to ensure the ammunition output and strike efficiency of ground attacks. Each of them carried 250 rounds of ammunition, which is sufficient.

Wing and belly mounts, with two hardpoints up to 1000 kg, plus three positions for equipment pods or rocket nests. The remaining ten hardpoints can withstand ammunition ranging from 250 kg to 150 kg.

It can be said that even with a full load of 6,500 kg, it is easy and stress-free.

The battlefield support aircraft that was finally finalized and produced was named "Tianpeng", and the model was modeled after the Yankees to get an A-1, which shows Yang Hao's undisciplinedness.

Its performance indicators are excellent, with a wingspan of 15.45 meters, a wing area of 41.35 square meters, a length of 12.16 meters, a height of 3.58 meters, an empty weight of 4480 kg, and a maximum of 6500 kg of load to take off!

Its maximum speed reaches 630 km/h, which is comparable to that of a fighter jet, with a practical ceiling of 8330 meters, a range of 3,000 km, and a full fuel and air dominance capacity of more than ten hours.

Such excellent data has aroused the interest of both the Air Force and the Navy of the Republic, which are not so bad for money these days. However, whether it is procurement or not is still inconclusive. It is certain that there are certain advantages to exporting to overseas markets, and now that the whole world is fighting terrorism, coupled with the fight against drug dealers and guerrillas or something, this thing must be suitable, the price is cheap and sufficient!

The first batch of fighters had just been produced, and they encountered a military coup d'état in Kenya, and Yang Hao's partner was not killed by the Americans, so the deal was naturally yellow. A total of 14 warplanes were appropriated by him for anti-terrorist armed operations.

In the past two months, the group of Maozi pilots recruited by Nikolaev, with an average age of more than 35 years, have become familiar with this "Tianpeng" attack plane. As long as you don't drink too much from the second pot, you can basically ensure the hit rate of low-altitude dive bombing and machine gun strafing.

With the official start of the anti-terrorist war, they have finally flown out of their lair and let out their first roar in front of the whole world! (To be continued......)
