"General Lin. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "When Lin Hai and his party put down their luggage and other things and were about to leave the hotel to go to the venue, someone stopped Lin Hai at the door of the hotel.

Looking back, Lin Hai recognized the leader of the other party, and also greeted: "General Sheffield." It's a coincidence that I'll run into you here. ”

"No, I'm here for you." Shaking his head, Lieutenant General Sheffield, who looked haggard, said a little tiredly, "I want to talk to you before the meeting begins." ”

"What are you talking about?" Looking around, some people had already noticed them, Lin Hai raised his hand and made a gesture of please, motioning for Lieutenant General Sheffield to leave with him, "As long as you don't mention any space-based weapon systems, then we can talk about anything." ”

"I know that, just as we can't give our nuclear arsenal to others for public use, it's normal for you to think that way." Sheffield sighed, "You don't have to worry what other people say. As long as we don't talk about it, you can ignore other people's proposals. ”

"Well, I think I still have to make it clear. Even if you, country M, put forward such an opinion, it is impossible for us to agree to it. Lin Hai said very bluntly, "You don't need to say anything like you won't make such a request, you are just an ordinary general, there are so many generals above you, and the Congress, and the president, if they don't agree with you, it's useless." So it should be said that it is useless for anyone to say. You better get down to business, I don't think you're here just to talk about this. ”

"Okay, anyway, you can take it easy with space-based weapons, and it's up to you to see if you can withstand all the pressure." Lieutenant General Sheffield said, "I'm here to talk about the expansion of the GDI and the increase in weapons and equipment. ”

"Oh, tell me about it." Hearing that Lieutenant General Sheffield did start talking about business, Lin Hai stopped joking with him and began to discuss with him seriously.

"Although the current establishment of the GDI has been expanded to a relatively large scale, it is obviously still insufficient, and in the Middle East alone, three divisions of troops have been consumed and cannot move there, and the rebels in those places have not been able to eradicate them to this day. As a result, if other places need GDI's troops to help, GDI can't have enough troops to complete the mission. ”

"I know the situation in the Middle East, but at the moment the rebels are no longer able to launch a new offensive again, and their main forces have basically been exhausted by the local government forces and GDI forces in the previous battles, and it should be unlikely that they will recover their strength in a short time. I think we can keep a small number of troops in the Middle East to assist the local government in policing, and move the rest to where it is more needed. In fact, wasn't that how we planned it at the beginning? ”

"Even so, the troops are still very insufficient." Although he agreed with Lin Hai's statement, Lieutenant General Sheffield still looked helpless, "Fortunately, there were not too many places that needed troops, but since the Battle of Philadelphia, especially in Europe, there have been more countries that need GDI's assistance in sending troops." ”

"It is understandable that those small countries have a weak national defense and need help from the outside world." Lin Hai said, "But as for whether the GDI force can be increased, this is not a problem that can be solved by casual recruitment. The United Nations is responsible for the supply of troops for GDI, and after applying to the participating countries, the countries will provide personnel to carry out the work. If countries do not provide troops to GDI, we ourselves will not have the right to call up. ”

"That's right, so I'm going to propose to the Security Council at this meeting to liberalize the GDI's automatic conscription rights."

"It's hard." Lin Hai said seriously, "As long as they are worried that GDI will get out of control, they will not allow this request." It's just that this is not a big problem, as long as the war continues, the problem of the source of troops will be solved sooner or later, even if you don't bring it up now, someone will raise it and solve it in the future. Therefore, it is not that the forces that we can use at present cannot meet the initial needs. ”

"You're right, but I'm going to raise this issue at this meeting, whether it can be resolved right away, or at least let everyone know what we're facing." "Anyway, I need your support at the meeting. The chairman and deputy commanders of GDI have expressed their stance on this issue, which should make people pay attention to it. ”

"Of course this can, it's not a big problem, after all, we Tieying alone have provided more than 10,000 soldiers, if other countries don't provide more personnel, and they only take care of themselves, then the existence of GDI has no meaning, not to mention, those countries that refuse to send people to participate in GDI will naturally not be able to get GDI's assistance in the first time." Lin Hai nodded, and agreed to Lieutenant General Sheffield's proposal without much hesitation, after all, the problem of military resources is not a trivial matter, and he is also having a headache for this problem, can't most of the entire GDI military resources be provided by Iron Eagle, right? So what's the point of him being so actively involved in the formation of GDI?

"Another problem is equipment." Speaking of this question, Lieutenant General Sheffield looked at Lin Hai with a grateful look, and then he said, "The T-1 individual combat armor provided by Darkfire Company to the GDI troops has successfully saved the lives of many soldiers, and it has also proved in actual combat that it has the ability to defend against the plasma weapons and ordinary bullets of the Sijing people, and the performance is very good. Now even the military of country M is interested in purchasing a batch of T-1 individual combat armor for the M army to use. ”

"I like the news." Lin Hai laughed, among the high-level people, everyone knows that the Dark Fire Company is also an industry under Iron Eagle, and Dark Fire makes money, which means that Iron Eagle is making money.

"But what I'm asking you to discuss today isn't these individual equipment. The performance of your equipment has been proven on the battlefield and does not need to be evaluated. I'm going to talk about heavy equipment now. ”

"Heavy equipment?" Thinking back to all the weapons and equipment he had provided to GDI, Lin Hai was a little puzzled, the Dark Fire Company did not monopolize the supply and demand of all heavy equipment in GDI in this regard, like those M Army dispatchers, the heavy equipment they used was their own M1A2, Guardian tanks, while the Iron Eagle dispatchers used Shepherd and Pillar tanks.

"I intend to completely unify the armament of the troops under the GDI system. Solve the trouble of logistics maintenance and supply first. Let's talk about increasing the combat effectiveness of the troops. Sheffield looked at Lin Hai and said, but the latter didn't answer immediately, just looked at Sheffield instead, waiting for him to continue.

"Actual combat has proved that the M1A2 series of main battle tanks currently used by the M Army are no longer of great use in the face of the heavy ground weapons of the Sijing people, and only the Guardian main battle tank, a new type of tank that was launched two years ago, can still engage the heavy ground forces of the Sijing people head-on, but the losses are not small. The Shepherd main battle tanks produced by your Darkfire Company, as well as the Pillar Super Heavy main battle tanks, have suffered much smaller losses than the Guardians based on their current engagement record. So I'm going to unify them all into a Shepherd tank and a Pillar super-heavy tank on the GDI side. ”

"Aren't you afraid that the arms dealers in your country will be dissatisfied?" Lin Hai laughed, "All the products of the Dark Fire Company, they can't get orders at GDI, won't they trouble you?" ”

"Now I can't take care of them, and even if they want to trouble me, only if General Hammer is settled. At least General Hammer would never agree to risk the lives of his soldiers to make money for the arms dealers. ”

"General Hammer, I know." Lin Hai nodded, thinking back to the textbook-like old-school soldier, "If his rights can guarantee this, then naturally don't worry, it's just ...... Forget it, that's not something I need to worry about. I guess your arms dealers don't have time to worry about whether GDI will buy their arms or not. I'm afraid they won't be able to keep up with your own orders in China, so let's just talk about our own business. In addition to tanks, heavy equipment should also include armored vehicles, long-range artillery, helicopters, fighter jets, and a lot of things, right? Isn't it true that you really plan to use all of Darkfire's products? ”

"Not really." Sheffield said, "Not to mention the output, just with so many varieties, I don't think Darkfire can provide all the equipment." ”

In fact, it can really be done, Lin Hai said secretly in his heart.

Sheffield continued: "Non-combat equipment, such as fixed-wing transport aircraft and transport helicopters, we can just use the off-the-shelf equipment, there is no need to buy new ones. Anyway, those non-combat equipment don't need to be sent to the front line, and the losses won't be too high; Long-range support firepower such as artillery and missiles, because most of them are in a safer rear, and while the losses are not large, even the old models can come in handy, so it's a big deal to assemble more; On the other hand, those such as main battle tanks and helicopter gunships that need to be sent directly to the front line for combat will have their losses skyrocket, and they are also the ones that need to be replenished the most. As for equipment such as fighters and bombers, it is not something we need to consider at the moment, those are too expensive. ”

"There's no way, when facing the Sijing people, the various advantages and asymmetrical battles that you were best at in the past are completely useless, and you can only send troops to face to face with the Sijing people as before, and it is normal to have such thoughts. We, Iron Eagle, have been at war with the Sijing people since the beginning, so we got used to this style of play a little earlier than you. Understandable. Lin Hai smiled, then smiled, and said solemnly, "But, have you thought about how to solve the funds needed for a full costume change?" Although the current GDI has a small number of troops, less than 100,000 troops, this has already cost a lot of money, and those money are the funds provided by the countries earlier, and this is only for the heavy equipment of the ground forces, not counting the aircraft. Now that you're going to completely update your equipment all at once, it's like spending the money they provided before, so will they provide new money? Don't forget, now that everyone is preparing for the war, I'm afraid we won't be able to give us too much money. ”

"Unless the GDI replaces the armies of all governments." Lieutenant General Sheffield said this suddenly, which surprised Lin Hai, because this was the final form of GDI that he was expecting.

Although he also wanted to say this, it was not yet time, so he could only persuade: "General Sheffield, in this case, it is better not to bring it up at this meeting, if there is no benefit, it will not be approved, it will also cause resentment and vigilance of others, and even directly affect the survival of GDI." ”

"Of course I do." Sheffield nodded, "Even though I'm not a politician, I still know when to say these things and when not to say them." It's just a private conversation between the two of us. ”

"That's good." Lin Hai replied, "Since you know what you want to do, then my advice is not to be too anxious to completely change your equipment immediately, it is best to wait for the old equipment to be consumed on the battlefield, and when the new equipment is replenished, then use the products of the Dark Fire Company as a new equipment supply." In this way, the financial pressure will be much less, and it will not attract too much attention from others. ”

"Then we'll decide for the time being, I don't care about anything else, tanks and helicopter gunships, this is what we need most at the moment. If you can, give them to the troops first. ”

"Of course, I don't like to see my subordinates die in vain because of the lack of equipment and performance." Speaking of which, seeing that everyone was almost done, Lin Hai pointed to the demonstrators outside the cordon outside the hotel and asked, "General Sheffield, what do you think about this situation?" I think this will be one of the topics to be discussed at this meeting. ”

"It's more troublesome." Glancing out the door, Lieutenant General Sheffield replied, "First of all, we can't ask the Japanese government to crack down now. Even if it was our request, the Japanese were not so obedient. All we can do now is wait and see what happens as things continue to develop. ”

"But what if this anti-war demonstration was planned by someone behind the scenes, and those people are likely to be high-level Japanese officials?"

"Did you get any information?" Hearing Lin Hai say this, Sheffield was taken aback and asked in a low voice, "Is there any evidence?" ”

"Listen to me first." Lin Hai looked around, then pulled Sheffield to a corner, and their entourage and guards immediately surrounded the human wall outside.

At this time, Lin Haicai continued: "According to the insufficient information, there are people in the Japanese top who plan to join forces with the Holy Brotherhood. I am not clear about their specific goals, but it is certain that the M Army stationed in Japan is definitely the first target; Those of us who have come to Japan to participate in the Security Council meeting should be the second target. ”

"Regardless of whether the information is true or not, I think I have to contact the headquarters of the M Army in Japan immediately."
