Chapter 639: The Terrifying Family Three

The first batch to enter the mercenary corps was the least equipped, with two 80,000-ton Forrestal-class conventionally powered aircraft carriers and two nearly 60,000-ton Iowa-class battleships armed with eight Seahawk anti-submarine helicopters. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The Forrestal-class aircraft carrier is the first class aircraft carrier built by the United States after World War II, and it is also the reference standard for all future aircraft carriers, and all four aircraft carriers of this class have been bought by us. At the request of the boss, our Navy will reduce the number of nuclear-powered aircraft carrier patrols and operations, using mainly conventionally powered aircraft carriers. ”

"The Iowa-class battleship, which is famous in the history of the US Navy, is the most advanced battleship in the world, and has undergone many modernizations and modifications, and the last time it is equipped with the Aegis combat system and the missile vertical launch system, and the 406-millimeter naval gun, which will become a support force for coastal operations." Genesys said.

The second group of mercenaries had the largest number of equipment, the USS Midway conventionally powered aircraft carrier, nine Belnap-class guided-missile cruisers, twenty-seven Sturgeon-class attack nuclear submarines and twenty Lafayette-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines, seven Iwo Jima-class and five Tarawa-class amphibious assault ships, four Sacramento-class supply ships and seven Wichita-class supply ships, two hundred F-15 Hawk fighters, five hundred F-16 Fighting Falcon fighters and three hundred F-18 Super Hornet carrier-based aircraft.

"The USS Midway is an old aircraft carrier that has been in service for more than 50 years, with a full load displacement of more than 60,000 tons, and the US government has implemented many modernizations, and has not participated in World War II, at most it is a waste utility."

"Nine Belnap-class missile cruisers, which can be used for anti-submarine, anti-ship and ground attack purposes, have been in service for more than 30 years, and will be allocated to the Golden Triangle Federal Navy as offshore patrol ships. Forty nuclear submarines are for lease and are of little value to mercenary regiments. ”

"The boss believes that carrying out escort missions and patrol missions, including skirmishes, there is no need to use aircraft carriers as a sharp weapon for the country, amphibious assault ships are fully competent, and the economy is higher than that of aircraft carriers, seven Iwo Jima-class and five Tarawa-class amphibious assault ships, and five Wasp-class amphibious assault ships, will form our new naval strike group." Denis continued.

"The four Sacramento-class supply ships and the seven Wichita-class supply ships are high-tech logistics support ships of the United States, and the addition of these 11 supply ships will greatly enhance the Navy's combat capability and the speed of dealing with emergencies, and will be an indispensable nanny for the aircraft carrier battle group." Myers said.

"The early models of fighters of the mercenary corps are basically close to retirement or mothballing, and they are relatively far behind in terms of technology, and the 200 F-15 Eagle fighters, 500 F-16 Fighting Falcon fighters and 300 F-18 Super Hornet carrier-based aircraft transferred to us by the US Air Force this time are all active fighters of the Air Force, and they are also the main fighters, and the avionics system will temporarily become the main combat force of the mercenary corps air force after continuous upgrades." Ward said.

The third group of mercenaries included four Virginia-class attack nuclear submarines, four Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers and six Ali Burke-class missile destroyers, ten Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines, one heavy cruiser USS Des Moines, 360 F-111 series fighter-bombers, and 114 E2C Hawkeye carrier-based AWACS aircraft.

Including, 30,000 Humvee off-road vehicles, 5,000 M60A3 main battle tanks, 2,000 M1A2 main battle tanks with depleted uranium armor, and tens of thousands of tons of various ammunition, enough to equip ten mechanized infantry divisions with individual weapons.

"This time, we have gained the most four Virginia-class attack nuclear submarines, four Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers and six Ali Burke-class missile destroyers, because they are all brand new new ships that have just been put into service, not those so-called second-hand goods, embodying the highest construction technology and scientific research achievements of the US Navy, our experts and engineers, in the observation of these new equipment, will get a lot of inspiration and experience, this is the most important thing."

"These ten Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines belong to the main nuclear submarines in active service in the US Navy, of course, in another three or five years they will all have to be decommissioned, but they are not outdated at all, and then there are 114 E2C Hawkeye carrier-based early warning aircraft, which is a necessary model for aircraft carriers, and can also be used in the roadbed, we only have 21 E3 watchtower early warning aircraft at present, with these early warning aircraft, it will greatly enhance the early warning capabilities and combat capabilities in the coastal waters." Dennis said again.

"Two thousand M1 Abrams main battle tanks, all of which are M1A2 models, with depleted uranium armor, have been upgraded and modified by the US Army many times, and their combat effectiveness is among the best in the world, in fact, I value more than 100,000 sets of infrared and thermal imaging night combat equipment, including individual equipment, which will greatly increase the army's night combat capabilities, and 30,000 Humvee off-road vehicles will strengthen the ground combat strength of the army, and we lack such off-road vehicles." Harriet, the new commander of the Army, said.

By the way, the Russian side also purchased a small amount of equipment, mainly the Marshal Krylov reconnaissance ship and the Marshal Nedlin reconnaissance ship, and the other six Viktor-class attack nuclear submarines that were mothballed and not leased to the outside world, and the rest was nothing.

"You may think that Marcus bought 5,000 old tanks at a loss, but we have to learn to settle accounts, dealing with these M60A3 main battle tanks only cost 500 million US dollars, which sounds like a lot, but you think about it, an Ali Burke-class missile destroyer sold us for 500 million US dollars, and the cost is more than 1.5 billion US dollars, and the cost saved alone is more than this figure, since the beginning of the cooperation, the United States has sold us weapons and equipment in the past seven years, and the price has been at least hundreds of billions of dollars, right?"

"Even if we throw 5,000 old tanks in the desert as scrap, we still make a lot of money, not to mention that these main battle tanks are obviously better than the T-54/55 main battle tanks, and can be converted into missile launchers, self-propelled rocket launchers or engineering vehicles." Myers, the head of general logistics, gave his advice.

If it weren't for the cooperation with the United States and the great opportunity of the collapse of the former Soviet Union to get so many weapons and equipment, the mercenary corps may only be a local force in the Golden Triangle at present, and it will never become a powerful international force in the world's military strength ranking at least the top ten, and it will also have to form its own country.

"In this way, our mercenary corps and defense forces and overseas legions are rare to get together, because the boss doesn't like to have meetings, Marcus and Myers, those cutting-edge weapons that we have developed and manufactured ourselves, you can also introduce them to you a little." Hunter said with a smile.

From the very beginning, Wu Chen knew that buying second-hand goods had great drawbacks, and it was cheap to buy and expensive to use, so he used the industrial base of Wukolan and the huge legacy left by the former Soviet Union to form a joint manufacturing body of more than 100 military industries.
