Chapter 560: Beach-Rushing Landing Exercise VIII

"Buy, it's a fool not to buy at this time, you immediately contact the US Department of Defense, as long as the US military is willing to sell equipment, we want it, no matter what kind of service, the price is naturally as low as possible, after signing the agreement and paying the money, immediately tow the nuclear submarine to the Port Bont Naval Base in Sierra Leone, and other surface ships to the Luanda Naval Base in Angola.

"Let's think about whether there is anything worth thinking about in the naval ships of the former Soviet Union, leasing nuclear submarines is also a means of solving financial problems, by the way, to buy the Marshal Krylov reconnaissance ship and the Marshal Nedlin reconnaissance ship, we have always lacked means in terms of early warning." Wu Chen immediately made a decision.

No, no, the presidential election in the United States will be held next month, whether the new president can still support the mercenary corps like this president, that is still unknown, politicians' thinking can not be inferred with common sense, face to face and behind the back, such things are not uncommon.

In the eyes of many American politicians, the mercenary corps has departed from its original purpose and has become a behemoth that can threaten the security of the United States, and there is no need to help the world's largest mercenary organization, lest it will seek trouble.

Moreover, Wu Chen knows that the future navy is not only the world of aircraft carrier battle groups, but also the world of amphibious assault ships, and these twelve old amphibious assault ships, after a thorough overhaul, will definitely become the core strike force of the mercenary navy.

"In fact, you don't need to worry too much about the future policy of the United States, although the strength of weapons and equipment may be reduced, but we can get more benefits from the military operations of the United States, until now, the vast majority of Americans still think that the Golden Triangle mercenary corps is the overseas army of the United States."

"If the new president is really the same as you deduced, the future support of the mercenary corps will not be too much deviation, we have united a large number of military industrial giants, contributed a large amount of money to his election, and the other party is also very appreciative, I participated in his meeting last month, and he personally expressed his willingness to let the mercenary corps make more contributions to the United States."

"Mr. Defense, who is about to be appointed, also said that military resources will be heavily tilted towards us, and the U.S. government needs us to hold Ukolan, stop Russia's westward advance, and protect the security of the European region, and there is no other way to choose for this role." Marcus said with a smile.

Boom, boom, there were many loud noises in a row, the side armor of a Type 90 main battle tank was pierced, the ammunition inside was detonated, and the turret flew directly into the sky, making the guests let out an exclamation, and the faces of the representatives of the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force were extremely ugly.

The side armor defense test of the main battle tank used the Russian Cornet anti-tank missile system and the American Javelin anti-tank missile system, and the two anti-tank missiles attacked the main battle tanks of various countries from the left and right directions, the Javelin was fired from 2,000 meters away, and the Cornet was fired from 5,000 meters away.

The ending surprised everyone, the Cornet anti-tank missile system completely beat the Javelin anti-tank missile system, and the side armor skirt of the Abrams main battle tank was pierced from five kilometers away, and similarly, the Leopard 2A6 and Leclerc were no exception, the Cornet's armor-piercing ability was 1,000 mm, while the Javelin was only 700 mm!

Eight tanks without exception lay down, Leclerc main battle tank and Leopard 2A6 were half destroyed, lost the ability to act, including the Abrams main battle tank, six main battle tanks had ammunition explosions, the turret was blown up, if someone was inside, it must be dead and could not die again, it is strange if it is not burned to charcoal!

Only the Tyrannosaurus Rex main battle tank, which uses depleted uranium armor even for its skirts, was seriously damaged, the side skirts were blown away, and the hull was dented, but it still maintained its combat capability, and there was no problem with ammunition, even if there were people.

"The main battle tank is the king of traditional land warfare, and its role is to attack the enemy head-on, tear apart the opponent's defense line, and destroy the opponent's fortifications, but any weapon and equipment has its own critical point, and it is hit by an anti-tank missile on the side, or it is attacked by high-powered explosives placed at close range, or it is bombarded by large-caliber grenades and large aerial bombs, no main battle tank can be safe, and neither can the Tyrannosaurus Rex 1 main battle tank!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is just a basic test, and it is also operated without driving, and it does not mean what the final result will be. There will be a variety of situations encountered in actual combat, and the intention of our exercise director is to let everyone see the shortcomings of their own main battle tanks, see the advantages and disadvantages of other main battle tanks, and improve these defects in the future. Thompson summed it up on behalf of the referees at the exercise command.

No one can laugh at anyone for this record, the Abrams main battle tank, which won second place in the main battle tank competition, was unlucky to be broken down and exploded, what else do other tanks have to complain about?

But this test also reminded the military top brass of various countries that frontal armor is important, but with the advent of anti-tank missiles, special attention should be paid to the protection of the sides, and no enemy is stupid enough to use anti-tank missiles to hit the frontal armor of main battle tanks.

I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Marcus poured into the US Secretary of Defense, but a group of high-ranking officials of the navy, army, and air force negotiated with him in just one night to finalize an aid agreement, and the speed with which it was simply incredible.

"There is nothing strange about this, if it were not for us, where would the Air Force get the order for three hundred F-22 Raptor fighters, one hundred C-5 Galaxy strategic transport aircraft and one hundred C-17 Globemaster strategic and tactical transport aircraft? Without us, where did the Navy get an order for twenty Conderoga-class missile cruisers, forty Burke-class missile destroyers, ten Wasp-class amphibious assault ships, and ten Ohio-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines? ā€

"For the U.S. military-industrial complex, only by constantly retiring and reselling old models can they get new orders and get more dollars, and the needs of interest groups also affect Congress and the military, and this result is not surprising at all, you see, and then the military will have new orders." Marcus said with a smile.

The USS Midway offered $1 for the conventionally powered aircraft carrier, $100,000 each for nine Belnap-class guided-missile cruisers, and 27 Sturgeon-class attack nuclear submarines and 20 Lafayette-class ballistic missile submarines in the best condition were given away. Even if the Americans dismantle these nuclear submarines themselves, they will be 50 million dollars each, which is equivalent to reducing the burden.

Seven Iwo Jima-class amphibious assault ships and five Tarawa-class amphibious assault ships to be decommissioned for a million dollars each, four Sacramento-class supply ships and seven Wichita-class supply ships for half a million dollars each.

F-15 Hawk fighters are sold for two hundred units for $20 million each, F-16 Fighting Falcon fighters are sold for five hundred for $10 million each, and F-18 Hornet carrier-based aircraft are sold for three hundred units for $10 million each.
