Chapter 1040 Post-War Chaos II
As a person with more than 20 years of memory, Wu Chen is very clear about the development path of the EU, if you consider it from a strategic point of view, it is indeed not a good thing to expand too fast, on the contrary, it will become an obstacle and a burden to development.
If, in the case of the current 15 member states, the internal thinking of these 15 member states has reached a high degree of unity, and the plan for peaceful rise is implemented step by step according to the current formulation, it is indeed capable of confronting the US government head-on in the future, and what Europe lacks is unity and military strength, not economy.
The reason why Wu Chen was able to participate in such an important meeting is that the final negotiations on the war between the Golden Triangle Federation and Israel will be held in Paris, France, which is the result of the efforts of the European delegations.
The Golden Triangle Federation and Israel are both recognized as the world's military powers, and the two sides are engaged in a battle on the scale of the army group, which naturally affects the attention of military strategists from all over the world, and Israel will certainly not be able to fight the mercenary corps, which is an undeniable fact, war does not only depend on skill and courage, the use of weapons and equipment and the content of science and technology, occupy the main factor, of course, the officers and soldiers of the mercenary corps do not lack combat skills, and those who can use their lives as a profession will not be afraid of death.
Israel can only dominate the Middle East, when it comes to the ranking of the world, it is really a bit of a distance, but the mercenary corps first got the military resources of the former Soviet Union, and then received the support of the United States with all its resources, it is definitely not comparable to Israel, just say that scientific research experts, mercenaries have eighty percent of the number of national treasure experts in the former Soviet Union, what kind of quality is this?
A week after the end of the war, the data was obtained by various countries, and Israel did not deliberately conceal it, and it could not hide it, but this result still shocked the whole world, in addition to the United States, Russia, China and other major countries, even European countries were terrified.
"It is said that the mercenary corps is a copy of the American army, from the configuration and high-tech content of weapons and equipment, to the consistent style of military operations, this war has given a definite answer, although it is worse than the American army, but it is not far behind." The French president said with a wry smile.
The US military is an army that advocates the principle of supremacy of firepower, and at every turn it is a joint operation of the navy, the army, and the air force, and the mercenary corps has the demeanor of the US army in this war, and two-thirds of its weaponry is American-standard equipment, which shows that weaponry is the decisive factor in modern warfare.
"The mercenary corps is the goal of the European army, and we must also keep up with the mercenary corps, so that we can have the confidence to negotiate terms with the US government, but I think that the cooperation can be extended from the strategic aspect and the research and development of weapons and equipment to the aspect of military quality training, the combat effectiveness of the Israeli army is beyond doubt, but the combat effectiveness of the mercenaries is superior, and the European army needs such an environment to temper itself." said the German Chancellor.
The second battle was a fatal blow to the Israeli government and military, as the most powerful air force in the Middle East, it became almost an empty shell after the war, with more than 500 advanced fighters, and in the end less than 100 remained, and all the fighters imported by the United States were not left, including its own electronic warfare planes, transport planes, and early warning planes.
The navy did not suffer any major losses, the point was that there were not a few decent ships, those missile boats did not dare to confront the carrier battle group, and the fleet had always protected the capital near Tel Aviv and thus avoided attack.
The air base and the naval base have all been destroyed, the power of cruise missiles and the power of aerial bombs, that is not blown out, there is not a single runway that can take off from the airport, and the port of anchorage is also full of ruins, but the air force and navy are much better than the army.
The army lost more than 1,200 main battle tanks, all of which were reimbursed for a little bit of technology, more than 100 helicopter gunships, more than 4,000 self-propelled guns, multiple rocket launchers, towed artillery, armored transporters and infantry fighting vehicles, as well as transport vehicles, etc., which were turned into piles of smoking wreckage under the blows of mercenary regiments.
What caused the most pain to the Israeli government and military was that the nearly 100,000 army troops who participated in the battle were left with less than 40,000 in the end, more than 60,000 veterans who had experienced the war died in battle, and half of the remaining were incapacitated.
Israeli cities such as Haifa and Tel Aviv were subjected to large-scale air strikes by mercenary groups, and many buildings were blown up by cruise missiles and joint direct attack munitions, including the city's power plants, weapons and equipment research and development institutions and production plants, as well as high-tech research and development centers, etc., with economic losses of more than $1 trillion.
In this war, the mercenary corps lost more than 60 fighters, more than 40 helicopter gunships, more than 200 main battle tanks, more than 100 infantry fighting vehicles, and more than 300 armored transport vehicles, killed more than 21,000 and wounded more than 4,000 in battle, and reduced the number of two division-level combat teams.
In the 10-hour battle, the mercenary corps generated more than $30 billion in consumption, and the loss of weapons and equipment alone exceeded more than $10 billion; strategic bombers dropped more than 3,000 tons of bombs, helicopter gunships and anti-tank vehicles fired more than 1,000 anti-tank missiles, and rocket artillery units fired more than 3,000 rockets, divided into 300 mm and 227 mm, and the ammunition of the artillery units has not yet been counted, and there are no less than 10,000 155-mm grenades.
The mercenary corps alone will spend more than 10 billion US dollars for casualties, and the death of a mercenary is 500,000 US dollars in compensation, which is the amount specified in the contract.
"The reason why there will be such a big gap in the outcome of the war is actually not complicated, both sides are fighting in a hard-hitting way, concentrating their forces on one point of outburst, and confronting them with the most direct frontal charge, the Israeli army has no strong defensive line, not even rudimentary bunkers, and even more so mercenary regiments, and there are no other tactics in the war."
"If the strength of the two sides is equal, the result of this is a defeat for both sides, but the firepower of the mercenary army is too strong, many times stronger than the Israeli army, then there is no possibility of winning this war." This is what American military experts commented.
