Chapter 664: Arsenal Ships and Stealth Drives

"What kind of warship does these photos show before, I have never seen it before, it is obvious that it is a model designed and manufactured by the mercenary corps itself, according to the intelligence of the CIA, the mercenary corps navy is being mass-produced, and it will definitely be the capital ship in the future." At the U.S. Presidential Palace, a group of bigwigs stared at a stack of photos.

The CIA agents noticed that there were suddenly a few new warships in the port of Sestopol that they had not seen before, and after doing some reconnaissance, they sent these simple data to the headquarters, and the mercenary corps added new warships, which immediately attracted the attention of the US government and military high-level.

When the Shield Guardian 1 carrier-based aircraft appeared, it was ignored by the U.S. military in the early stage, believing that with the strength of the mercenary corps, it was impossible to create an advanced fighter that surpassed the U.S. military.

But then the Shield Guardian Type 1 and the Super Hornet confronted, but the result was that the face of the US Air Force was swollen, three to one, a dignified superpower, with the world's most cutting-edge scientific research and the strongest industrial strength, but was defeated by a mercenary organization, which made the face of the US government fall to rest.

"According to the photos, naval experts speculate that the first type of strange-shaped warship belongs to the same type as the arsenal ship we proposed earlier, with a displacement of about 40,000 to 50,000 tons, no exhaust facilities, and it is estimated that it is nuclear-powered, equipped with two 203 mm caliber naval guns, a helicopter take-off and landing platform and a hangar, and the rest are vertical launch systems."

"The reflective surface of the hull is relatively small, it has a certain stealth function, and it is equipped with a fixed array antenna on four sides, which is probably the phased array radar used by the Sea Elf combat system developed by the mercenary legion itself, but it is far from our concept, but it is more practical."

"The second type is obviously a missile destroyer, which also adopts a stealth design, and the reflective surface is reduced to a minimum, a bit like the Zumwalt-class destroyer that we just set up. According to the size projection, the displacement is definitely between 16,000 and 18,000 tons, and it is also nuclear-powered. ”

"Two 203 mm caliber naval guns, front and rear vertical launch systems, helicopter platforms and hangars, and four-sided phased array radar antennas similar to the Aegis combat system, judged to be the same type of warship as the Ali Burke-class missile destroyer, but the concept and layout are more advanced, as for the specific combat capability, there is no detailed information for us to judge." The Secretary of the Navy reported.

"In other words, even the cutting-edge equipment that our US Navy has not developed has actually allowed an international mercenary organization to do it, which is simply a great humiliation, when did the dignified United States also fall to such a state!" The President of the United States said with a frown.

"With these five concept-class arsenal ships and twelve new stealth missile destroyers, the combat effectiveness of the mercenary navy will be qualitatively improved, and we must limit the outflow of cutting-edge technology of the mercenary corps, especially not open to China, which is the strongest opponent in the Asia-Pacific region, and the potential is terrifying."

"As for Russia, now that the ruble is depreciating and inflationary, the poor can't even afford to eat potatoes, the finances are on the verge of collapse, there is not so much money to buy new ships for the mercenary corps, and Russia's self-esteem does not allow them to purchase weapons and equipment from other countries, the mercenary corps is ruthless, and the offer will definitely scare people to death." said the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

If it weren't for the fact that the former Soviet Union's nuclear arsenal was too terrifying, the U.S. government would not have looked at the Russian government at all, and the economy was not enough, and the military power relied on economic strength behind it.

However, China's achievements since the beginning of reform and opening up have increasingly aroused the worries of the US Government, worried that the interests of the Asia-Pacific region will be threatened, and that China's rise will affect the strategic intentions of the unipolar world.

"I have ordered Selina, the chief of operations who has been in contact with the mercenary corps, to meet with Wu Chen, who is codenamed Instructor, I don't think he will refuse to tell us the basic information of these two types of warships, according to the investigation, this Wu Chen super director, with two Chinese actresses, is now in Dubai after a short stay in Iran."

"The Gulf countries and Iran are at odds because of the issue of faith, Wu Chen's purpose must be for oil and gas resources, and the Atlantis Mineral Resources Company, using mercenaries and the arms trade of these countries, has obtained the right to exploit them." The CIA director said.

The people present were a little speechless, Wu Chen was also the third-in-command of the mercenary corps, and he was still the head of the mercenary corps who nominally managed the Federal Government of the Golden Triangle, but what about him, in addition to appearing during the war, he usually makes movies, engages in enterprises and makes female stars, and his life is really chic, and his rumors in Hollywood are no strangers to everyone here.

This is also one of the main reasons why the U.S. government tolerates the Golden Triangle Federation and the mercenary corps, Wu Chen, a Chinese man, does not like power, and does not interfere in the affairs of the mercenary corps and the Golden Triangle Federation, but the importance is unparalleled, he likes to make money, he likes to make movies, and he likes to make beautiful women, how big of a deal can this be?

But they never thought that Wu Chen, who was distracted, had already soaked Selena, who was in charge of the intelligence work of the mercenary corps, and most of the information obtained had been deleted, and Selena's consciousness would filter out a lot of information that was unfavorable to the mercenary corps, which belonged to a woman's instinct.

Of course, Selena is a very professional CIA executive, in fact, she has not found that the mercenaries have done anything to harm the United States, and her agents have no evidence to speculate, which will cause misunderstanding between the government and the military.

"Isn't it a bit of a fuss that we started negotiating with mercenaries before we got the exact information, maybe these warships are not as high-end as we thought? Moreover, even the arsenal ships or Zumwalt-class destroyers will not put much pressure on the United States, and the so-called Golden Triangle Federation is not qualified to become an opponent of the United States. Said the Minister of the Navy.

The vast majority of the equipment of the mercenary navy was obtained from the US Navy at low prices or in the name of aid, and 90 percent of it belonged to the American equipment.

"We can't gamble on things, and we don't dare to bet for the sake of the United States, mercenary regiments have always been very reliable in doing things, and since these advanced warships have been manufactured, they will definitely pose a threat to US security, and five arsenal ships can launch 2,500 missiles of various types in a short period of time, and there is no defense system in the world that can resist this kind of equipment, and the United States does not have it."

"If it weren't for the fact that their country did not have the resources to back it up, business and industry were just starting, and the financial aspect was a little bit beyond their means, and I would even rank the mercenaries ahead of Russia, everyone understands in their hearts that the value of nuclear weapons is not as great as before, and if they really meet such an opponent as mercenaries, who dares to say that nuclear deterrence will work?" The Minister of Defense said coldly.
