Since we want to build an excellent blue army unit, it is definitely not enough to count on the outdated M60 and M113 armored personnel carriers sent by the United States. Qi Yiming also has other ways to provide the equipment needed for this Blue Army division that is being planned to be formed.

In terms of light weapons, the M16 automatic rifle, the M4 carbine, and the M9 pistol are not very valuable, and they will not have a problem with the United States. For example, the M249 machine gun, the M240 general-purpose machine gun, etc., can be imitated after being taken. In addition, Qi Yiming has other better ideas on light weapons, such as the new century individual weapons that will appear more than ten years later, such as his favorite FN2000 assault rifle, SCAR-H assault rifle, etc., although he has no skills in his hands, but there are many detailed drawings in the network database, and it is not difficult to hand it over to Norinco to imitate and explore by himself. What's more, the twin brother of the Type 95, the Type 97, itself uses 5. 56Nato bullets, equipping this thing is not a problem.

In terms of heavy weapons and armored vehicles, they are still mainly copied by blackmailing the United States. On the main battle tank, Qi Yiming can't look down on the M60 Patton tank that the United States sent him casually, this thing is a treasure in WW, in the eyes of the PLA, it is the level of 59 changes, and now the Type 80 installed a few years ago has been replaced in a hurry, and the Type 99 has become the signature weapon of the PLA, even if the Blue Army Division is built, it must not be equipped with a tank that is too bad.

In fact, if you talk about NATO-standard weapons, Qi Yiming is not absent, the Red Alert Allied Forces are actually NATO-standard equipment, although it is somewhat exaggerated, but the basic shape is still similar to NATO.

Previously, the Soviet Army's Rhino Tank was combined with the skills of some Type 80 car families and transformed into the MBT-1000, which became the main model of Norinco's exports, and the subsequent improved MBT-2000 was between the original Khalid tank and the Type 96 tank that was no longer in service, but still had strong Rhino tank characteristics, such as the frontal inclined armor is not like the Type 96 and Khalid wedges, but similar to the M1 inclined type.

In contrast to the popularity of the Rhino Tank, the lighter Grizzly Bear Tank was no longer a problem in producing it technically, but the whole country was enthusiastically upgrading the Type 99, and this tank became useless.

In fact, the grizzly bear is not completely useless, Qi Yiming believes that this tank weighs only more than 30 tons, and the design is very good, with excellent sports performance, especially suitable for galloping in the mountains and on the southern boat bridge. Although its defensive capabilities are not as good as those of the MBT-2000, they are still not weak compared to the earlier M1 and MBT-1000. Coupled with its excellent electronics, it should be regarded as the lightest of the third-generation tanks at this time. Equipped with a 105mm rifled gun, the power is not worse than the 125mm of the T-72, and the armor-piercing performance is excellent.

Qi Yiming's earliest stage for the grizzly bear was to equip the PLA with mountain troops and some local troops whose terrain was not suitable for the heavy body of more than 50 tons of Type 99, and the armed police force also needed a light tank with good mobility and strong power, and the grizzly bear was quite suitable.

Now, considering that the shape of the Grizzly Bear is close to that of NATO tanks, especially the 105mm rifled gun, which can be used with the ammunition of many Western countries, Qi Yiming chose the Grizzly Bear as his main combat vehicle for the new Blue Army Division, which was finalized as a Type 86 light tank, codenamed Grizzly Bear.

There are two main types of Grizzly Bear equipment troops, a Grizzly Bear basic type, a Grizzly Bear modification, the main difference is in the main gun, the basic type uses a 105mm rifled gun, while the 86A2 Grizzly Bear uses a 120mm smoothbore gun. In fact, this 120-gun Rhino tank can also be equipped, as mentioned before, the Red Alert setting made a mistake in the Soviet system, so that the Rhino has been holding an Allied 120 gun, until the Red Alert 3 was replaced with a real Soviet-made 125mm smoothbore gun.

As for armored vehicles, Qi Yiming will not be idle to ask for M2 tanks or LAV-25 and the like, and still uses the 09 type 8 * 8 infantry fighting vehicle that is common to the whole army, but the electronic equipment uses a system that can communicate with the US military, and the 30mm machine gun has also been replaced with a NATO 25mm machine gun, and the machine gun has also been replaced from the 89 type domestic to the M2 Browning of the US army. The second is the ZBD-04 tracked armored vehicle, which has also been modified to equip the Blue Division.

In terms of artillery, light individual weapons are heavy firepower, mainly using M224 mortars and M72 rocket launchers sent by the US military. The towed artillery is still mainly those bought from the United States, such as the M101 105mm howitzer and the M114 155mm howitzer left over from World War II. As for self-propelled guns and anti-aircraft guns, they all use domestically produced chassis and NATO-made artillery.

After this rectification, although this Blue Army division naturally does not reach the level of the PLA such as the 38th Army's 112th Mechanized Infantry Division or the 309th Special Division, it is definitely only strong and not weak when compared horizontally with the mechanized infantry divisions of other countries. This unit finally let Qi Yiming get it, and gave a 310 division number, the scale is naturally much smaller than the 309 division, the standard machine infantry division 6 regiments, three machine infantry regiments, an armored regiment, an artillery regiment, an air defense regiment, plus the army aviation brigade and division direct troops, the total number is about 130 million.

The 310 Blue Army Division decided after ******** that it would not be composed of Qi Yiming's Red Police soldiers, but would take the normal conscription route, but the selection of the best quality soldiers would mainly focus on absorbing high-quality young people, and the selection of officers would also require a high level of English proficiency, and even Western culture would be assessed. The purpose of this is very natural, that is, except for the face of a Chinese and a loyal heart to the motherland, everything else must be like Americans and Europeans.

Qi Yiming's training of the 310 Blue Army Division is to consider this aspect of the content, Qi Yiming will be better at it, and other generals in the army must not have Qi Yiming to build such a Blue Army Division. In addition, this is probably also to compensate for the 309th Division that prying Qi Yiming away. Qi Yiming would not expect the 310th Division to form combat strength very quickly, and he would not be able to fully trust this force if it wasn't for the Red Alert soldiers, so the 310th Division's station was not in the Dalinor base, but in the nearby Xilin Gol League.

There is a certain proportion of Red Alert soldiers among the officers of the Blue Army Division, and Qi Yiming set the attributes of the allies when producing them, so they should have a lot of experience in building an Americanized army. Naturally, the division commander of the 309th Blue Army Division was transferred from elsewhere, and it was impossible for Qi Yiming's subordinate Red Police to serve as the commander.

After dealing with this matter, Qi Yiming remembered the previous incident when the navy asked him for a super fortress, and Commander Liu Huaqing said that he went to lobby the high-level and passed the strategic plan for the South China Sea as soon as possible, and he didn't know what the situation was. So Qi Yiming dialed Liu Huaqing's personal phone, but it was Liu Huaqing's secretary who picked it up.

"Ah, it's Commissar Qi, Commander he's asleep."

"Sleeping? It's ten o'clock in the morning, and the commander has just slept? ”

"Well, yes, the commander has been quite busy lately, and has done a lot of work, and there is basically no punctuality these days."

"For the sake of the South China Sea?"

"Yes, the plan is not going well, and the commander is very anxious."

"That's it, okay then, let the commander have a good rest first, I'll go to the commander in the evening, have dinner with him, and find out the situation."

"Okay, I'll tell the commander when he wakes up."

Hung up the phone, Qi Yiming frowned deeply, Liu Huaqing is a handful of old people, he takes care of his body very much, and there is almost no work day and night like this. But now that I'm busy like this, I'm definitely in trouble.

"Could it be that the navy's plan to advance into the South China Sea has been denied above?" Qi Yiming couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, he hadn't heard any rumors from the top for a long time, recently he felt that an invisible wall had formed between him and Zhong Nanhai, everyone was as friendly and friendly as they met, but the invisible turmoil behind him made Qi Yiming secretly vigilant.

In the evening, Qi Yiming drove to Liu Huaqing's apartment. Although the old general was neat and tidy in his military uniform, his face was not very good, which was obviously caused by poor rest and excessive worry.

"Commander, the navy is still counting on you, you can't work too hard like this." Qi Yiming hugged Liu Huaqing and helped him sit at the table.

Liu Huaqing sighed and said, "I'm old, I didn't have anything to be so busy before, but now I obviously feel powerless." ”

Qi Yiming asked: "Is it the South China Sea plan that has made a mistake?" ”

Liu Huaqing nodded helplessly and said, "It's so good to think about the situation, the complexity is something we didn't expect before." You poked a big hole in the Soviet Union before, and you are still nervously preparing to deal with the follow-up problems, and you don't want to make more troubles, and concentrate on developing the national economy or something, although the South China Sea plan does not seem to be very dangerous, but if it is not done well, it will still cause an armed conflict, and it will not be able to cover it up like the Soviet Union at that time. I think the old leaders are also thinking about it, and they are worried that our country's reckless and aggressive image will remain on the stage of the world and will have a negative impact on our international exchanges in the future. ”

Qi Yiming couldn't help but complain: "Which one of the Soviet Union or the United States is not reckless, and which one is not aggressive?" There are negative images, but everyone still has to follow their rules and be afraid of them. ”

Liu Huaqing shook his head, "You can't say that, there are still essential differences between us and the United States and the Soviet Union, first of all, our foundation is not as thick as theirs, and secondly, our Chinese culture pays attention to convincing people with reason, and the soldiers are murderous weapons, and they are cautious, so it will be a lot more complicated to consider." ”

Qi Yiming pursed his lips and said, "Also, we are essentially different from those descendants of barbarians and pirates. ”

Liu Huaqing was amused by Qi Yiming and said: "These days, our navy is trying to list the benefits and beneficial effects of the South China Sea plan, and is also deducing various possible unfavorable situations and predicaments in the sand table. ”

Qi Yiming took a deep breath and leaned back on the sofa, thinking a lot of things in his head. It stands to reason that the successive military victories should give Zhongnanhai more self-confidence, but Zhongnanhai is not so blindly conceited, but more cautious, which is also a good thing. However, in terms of the South China Sea strategy, Qi Yiming believes that there is a problem of opportunity period, and if it is missed like this, and then dealt with after entering the information age, I don't know how much trouble there will be.
