Chapter 1268: Chuck's Ambition
Kucha Khan's words made Chuck's eyes light up.
Chuck has always coveted the combat effectiveness of China's peacekeeping forces. Chuck fantasized more than once that if he had such a powerful army, the first thing he had to do was to expel all the mercenaries in the country.
After that......
Chuck from a few small countries around him had long looked at them unpleasantly, but it was still the same sentence. You know your own things best. Chuck has never been afraid to use the weakest words to describe the combat effectiveness of King Locke's ** team, but he still didn't expect that the army of King Rock has refreshed the lower limit of his understanding of the combat effectiveness of the army again and again!
But in view of the terrifying combat effectiveness of his army, Chuck can only let a few small countries around him bounce in front of him, but he can't do anything practical.
But if his troops are all soldiers with the same combat effectiveness as the peacekeeping forces, let alone a few small countries around, even if it is the rest of the larger neighboring countries, Chuck has the heart to move!
Being able to lead the country on the road to prosperity, Chuck is naturally not very satisfied. Because abundance and prosperity are different.
Wealth can only mean that the country is rich, but if you are rich, others may not necessarily look up to you. is like a rich man, if he doesn't have enough strength to protect his property, in the eyes of the robbers, he is just a Kaizi who can be pinched as much as he wants.
But if he has a strong enough army, even if the small countries around him don't provoke him, Chuck will find a way to find trouble with them.
The Kingdom of Rock is a desert country, and although the territory of the entire country is not too small, the area of the real habitable place is not too large.
Although the surrounding countries are also desert countries, after all, compared to the Rock Kingdom, the average oasis area of one or two surrounding countries is still much higher than that of the Rock Kingdom.
However, because those countries are landlocked, and the oil reserves are not as large as those of the Rock Kingdom, and the head of state is not well governed. Therefore, although there are abundant oil and other energy deposits, they cannot afford to mine them independently.
More than 200 years ago, it was the territory of the Kingdom of Locke. However, due to the gradual decline of the strength of the Locke Kingdom, the original inhabitants of the local area immediately rose up, overthrew the rule of the Locke Kingdom, and established their own country.
Independence is independence, but their living conditions have not improved much because of this.
As the saying goes, it's easy to fight the world, but it's hard to sit in the world.
If a large group of soldiers let them go to war, maybe it's okay. But if they sit at a table and bite their fingers to think about what to do to govern the country, it will definitely be difficult for them.
The same is true of those countries. Although when it comes to wars, the first leaders of those countries are good hands, but when it comes to governing the country, even if Chuck's father is a mediocre king in the Rock Kingdom, he is more capable than those people.
However, it is precisely because the ability of those few people to govern the country is really average, they only know how to fight, and they don't know how to deal with the affairs of the rear. So although at the very beginning, the army of the Locke Kingdom was defeated and retreated. But in the end, the other party did not have enough supplies, which eventually led to self-chaos.
Although the combat effectiveness of the army of the Rock Kingdom is not very good, if it is against the hungry enemy soldiers, it must still have a great chance of winning, not to mention the combat effectiveness of the opponent's national army, that is, the level of combat effectiveness is slightly stronger than that of the Rock Kingdom.
If one's own country's armed forces can be raised to a high enough level by the combat effectiveness trained by the Chinese peacekeeping forces, then it is not a dream to re-establish the country that was founded by one's ancestors hundreds of years ago and sits on three continents, Asia, Europe and Africa!
"Brother, brother?" Seeing that Chuck's eyes began to wander, Kucha Khan thought that something was wrong with Chuck's body. Afraid that something had really happened to Chuck, Kucha Khan hurriedly shook his hand in front of Chuck's eyes.
But Chuck didn't react, there was no way, Kucha Khan hurriedly shook Chuck's body, so that Chuck woke up from the beautiful fantasy world.
"Ahem...... I was a little distracted just now. Although Chuck has not done any feats of expanding territory in his life, that doesn't mean he doesn't want to do it.
On the contrary, Chuck wanted to, and longed for. It's just that the combat effectiveness of the army of the Rock Kingdom is really low. This battle made Chuck realize that simply equipping the army with good equipment does not mean that the army can embark on a strong path.
If you want to become a strong army, adequate training is a must.
However, except for the kings at the beginning of the founding of the country, the army was relatively strong. But later, as the Locke Kingdom gradually became the overlord of the surrounding area, the successor kings of the Locke Kingdom gradually became proud and complacent.
The so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, when the king is already this kind of virtue, then the army below is naturally like this.
The king's pride and complacency, coupled with the fact that the previous army had a brilliant record, gradually became proud and complacent. The so-called arrogant army will be defeated, and after more than a hundred years, the army of the Rock Kingdom, which could sweep through the Middle East, has long become a symbolic armed organization of a decaying dynasty.
Although there are a lot of people, they are just a group of sick seedlings, paper tigers.
A weak army is generally bullying the weak and fearing the hard. Where there is oppression, there is resistance.
After the rebels appeared one after another, the king of the Rock Kingdom immediately organized an army to suppress it. But a hundred years is enough time for a ferocious tiger to become a sick cat.
Two hundred years ago, the Kingdom of Rock had become a country in ruin.
Just one battle, the strength of the Rock King ** team was completely exposed.
The rebel army didn't even fight much, and the other side was already in a crush. If it weren't for the lack of supplies from the other party, maybe the Rock Kingdom would have really been destroyed two hundred years ago.
However, it is precisely because the other side can only fight, and does not know how to govern the country. So how high can a country that does not have enough to eat have its combat effectiveness have?
After that, although in the end, the Rock Kingdom resisted the attack of the rebel army and recovered from the danger of destroying the country. However, the problem of low combat effectiveness of the army cannot be changed.
The so-called from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift difficult.
In the same way, it is not difficult for an army to go from being strong to a sick army, but it is not easy for an army of sick seedlings to become a strong army.
Not just the army, but even the king.
With an ex who only knows how to enjoy, how can the successor be more diligent in political affairs?
After that, although a few kings who were considered the masters of Zhongxing appeared, it only allowed the Locke Kingdom to slow down from its decline a little. But the problem of the army cannot be changed in any way.
If the people's customs do not change, how can the atmosphere in the army be changed?
With the passage of time, the economic power of the Rock Kingdom gradually declined. The decline of economic strength has made the king's military spending budget cut again and again.
In such an army, it is naturally full of soldiers who are just some soldiers who are monks for a day and hit the clock for a day.
They may still have a little combat effectiveness, but the morale of the army cannot be improved.
After that, mercenaries gradually flourished, and as long as you paid money, you could find mercenaries with strong combat effectiveness to drive yourself.
The role of the army has been reduced more and more, and since then, the Rock Kingdom has suffered several major changes, and the proportion of casualties among the soldiers is too high because of their lack of training. Originally, there were hundreds of thousands of troops in the Rock Kingdom, and the number of conscripts was also repeatedly reduced.
By the time Chuck's father arrived, because of the impact of mercenaries, the army became synonymous with drudgery.
After that, although Chuck worked hard to bring the economy of the Rock Kingdom on the right track, in the end, the number of troops could not be raised.
When the material life was not good, there were not so many people who joined the army, not to mention that now that the living conditions are better, how many people are willing to go to the army to endure hardships?
The number of troops cannot be raised, and even soldiers who have joined the army do not want to endure hardship. Without arduous training, the fighting quality will naturally not be improved.
It is precisely knowing this, coupled with the presence of mercenaries around, Chuck can make the army stronger, and the only way to make the army as advanced as possible is to improve the advanced level of equipment in the army.
It is precisely because of the relatively advanced equipment that although the surrounding small countries are still clamoring, they dare not be the same as a few decades ago, always trying to move the national border a little bit at every turn.
If it's just once or twice, it's naturally nothing, but for decades, it has been moved every few years, and if it weren't for the fact that the land that was taken away was basically desert, and there were no resources to use, I'm afraid that Chuck would have to fight with those small countries even if he knew that the army's combat effectiveness was low.
Now, despite a series of twists and turns, the army has also suffered the worst defeat since the founding of the People's Republic of China. But after all, everything is already going in a good direction.
And now Kucha Khan's opinion has also made Xiao Jiujiu, who has been thinking about Chuck for decades, active again.
"Kucha Khan, what do you think about whether to allow Huaguo to continue to increase the number of peacekeeping troops?" Putting away the excitement in his heart, Chuck suddenly asked.
