Chapter 946: In the Logistics Interception Battle
"Boss, this time the Taliban army has suffered from modern warfare, although they have admirable courage and spirit, but they also need the corresponding correct tactics to exert the greatest effect, how can flesh and blood block more than 900 kilograms of combined direct attack ammunition? How can you stop a 450-kilogram cluster bomb? ”
"The U.S. military is too bastard, it actually uses this kind of weapon that is very troublesome in the follow-up, just to clean up the cluster bombs that have not exploded in this area, it will take at least half a year, it is dangerous and costs money, this group of grandchildren is really vicious."
"If it weren't for the guidance of our military expert group in advance, and based on the tactical thinking of the Taliban leadership, the army would have to reimburse more than half of the US army's round of concentrated fire, and I really thought that digging a few tunnels would intercept the US army's attack, wouldn't that be a big joke!" Looking at the corpses flying up on the monitor, Marcus took a hard puff on his cigar and shook his head.
Among the core top of the mercenary legion, Marcas's workload is heavy, or rather the heaviest, because he is in charge of too many things. He also has to engage in military technology research and development, weapons and equipment manufacturing, military and civilian trade, and has to undertake the foreign affairs of the Golden Triangle Federation, and is responsible for the management of the South Kuril Islands Special Zone, and is also responsible for the intelligence network and black technology corps of the shadow organization.
"The U.S. military's performance this time was also forced by the situation, and after entering Afghanistan, it suffered several setbacks in a row, which made the U.S. government and military angry and wanted to use this war to find a new place. The superpower has always been in the posture of a world policeman in its pursuit of hegemonism, but as a result, it was beaten by the Taliban army and made its nose and face swollen, so that other countries would think when they saw it? ”
"The United States is an old capitalist country, the government is very rich, our mercenary corps is incomparable, the military is worried about the formation of a tug-of-war, and finally encountered the Taliban army's thinking is normal, so it is ready to end the battle in the shortest possible time, in order to achieve this goal, it is nothing to spend some money." Wu Chen smiled and said.
Marcus understands what the boss means, although the US military is used to being lavish in war, and the whole world knows how much money is burned, but they do not casually use this kind of power to attack the opponent, and there are special considerations for this approach at this time.
Normally, with the participation of NATO countries and the cooperation of the Northern Alliance, the US military should be overwhelmed and defeat the Taliban government in just one or two months and win the war, which is logical.
However, the US military and NATO troops that entered Afghanistan have suffered heavy losses on many occasions under the resistance of their opponents, and even backward troops such as the Taliban army have been able to kill and wound more than 1,000 US troops in half a month, which has seriously affected the image of the US military and its deterrent power to the world has begun to decrease.
The United States has always been the image of those who follow me and those who oppose me will perish, and they like to meddle in the internal affairs of other countries, and they are the world's policemen! Among the countries in the world, the United States has formed its own strategic network of relations by force and interests, and force comes first, and most countries choose to cooperate with the United States because they are worried about US military action.
Once the relied on force loses its effect, the situation will get out of control in a short period of time, like Japan, Europe, and the Middle East, all of which will jump out to fight back against the United States, and they will not even be able to defeat a backward and poor Afghanistan, so they are embarrassed to make conditions to us?
"When the U.S. government starts a war, it doesn't print money as fast as it spends money, which is also a well-known thing, because the U.S. government has money, has the power to print dollars, can borrow money from the world, and the ammunition consumed can be replenished quickly, and it can also bring orders to military enterprises and add a large number of jobs."
"It is a wise choice to be able to eliminate the living forces of the other side at the minimum cost, even if there is more money, it cannot buy the lives of American GIs, and for every additional person in the war casualty figures, the pressure on the government will increase by one point, and between money and lives, the US military will definitely choose the former over the latter."
"The United States hopes to occupy Afghanistan as quickly as possible, to achieve its own important step in a unipolar world, and to restrain the surrounding China and Russia, because the United States has its own military bases in Central Asia, and the resources in Central Asia will soon become the target of competition for American enterprises." Marcas said.
The financial situation of the mercenary corps has always been poor, and in terms of the use of weapons and equipment, it cannot be compared with the United States at all, although the ammunition reserves have reached an extremely terrifying level over the years, but the shortcomings of the military industry cannot be caught up in ten or eight years.
The U.S. government placed an order, and those military-industrial enterprises will complete the task in a very short time, which is the amazing efficiency brought by the accumulation of industrial strength over the past century. As for the mercenary corps, few military industrial enterprises produce ammunition, and they are all manufacturing cutting-edge weapons and equipment to make money to maintain operation, and the gap is not a little bit or a half.
With such dense firepower as a prelude to the offensive, after a while, the Kung Fu coalition troops just went up to pick up the ready-made, and lo and behold, the hill where the position was located was about to be flattened, and the power brought by hundreds or thousands of tons of bombs was very terrifying.
"What you said is not comprehensive enough, the reason why the US government is so anxious is because they are free to calculate the next country, or to kill the chicken to show the monkey, who is this unlucky chicken, the Iraqi government, or Mr. Saddam, although it is not very respectful to say this, but it is true."
"The oil countries in the Middle East have not been very obedient recently, and their relations with the United States are far less close than before, and they have given us all orders for weapons and equipment. This is not the most important thing, the point is that the relationship between the Iraqi government and European countries has begun to warm up, according to intelligence, it is possible to join the euro system and use the euro as the oil settlement currency, which makes the US government intolerable and touches their bottom line. ”
"You don't have to envy the U.S. government too much, in fact, they overestimate their own economic affordability, and also underestimate the resilience of their opponents, huge investment is absolutely no problem in a short period of time, but what the top management can't imagine is that a war can last for more than ten years, and it will cost trillions of dollars before and after, and if there is no benefit from the war, it will bring decline and destruction." Wu Chen heard Marcas's envy and jealousy, and said with a smile.
"Hey, the U.S. military seems to have stopped attacking, the team is actually retreating, don't they have ammunition replenishment vehicles, why don't they fight? Big brothers, come on, I haven't seen it yet, go on! Marcus said suddenly.
"You stupid, what a simple question, our troops are ambushing the transport vehicle halfway, and they are about to encounter the threat of running out of ammunition and food, and if they continue to fight, won't they seek death?" Wu Chen pursed his lips and said.
