What does it feel like to get indirect good news?
Zhu Cixiang thinks this is a feeling that cannot be evaluated!
During the campaign at the beginning of the year, the Ottoman army worked hard and finally captured the Croatian gift package for His Majesty the Sultan.
However, when Ibrahim opened it, he felt that he had been deceived and deceived.
After thinking about it, I felt that something was wrong, and I couldn't easily suspect that my general had embezzled some of the weapons and equipment in the gift package.
After being unable to figure out the clue or reason for many days, I had no choice but to ask my old friend Zhu Cihong for advice.
What was it about the Croatian gift package that made Ibrahim react like that?
First!
It’s the less famous M-95 “Fallen” main battle tank!
This thing is an upgraded version of the M-84 main battle tank in the Serbian gift package. It is nothing more than a main gun with two calibers: 125 mm and 120 mm.
What Ibrahim received was the 125mm version of the M-95. The funny thing is, this is the only heavy weapon in the gift package!
The remaining ones are the VHS-D2CT standard assault rifle, VHS-K2CT short-barreled assault rifle, VHS-2D improved assault rifle, "Aragham" 2000 submachine gun, MACS-M4 12.7 mm sniper rifle, and RT-20 20 mm Anti-material sniper rifles, and the more classic HS-2000 13-round 9mm short gun!
Ibrahim sent both the M-84 in his Serbian gift package and the M-95 in his Croatian gift package to Minsk for Zhu Cixiang to check them carefully.
Could it be that something went wrong during the summoning? ? ?
In addition to the M-84 main battle tank, the Serbian gift package also includes the M-80 infantry fighting vehicle, the "Strela"-10 tracked air defense vehicle, and the "Lazar"-3 wheeled armored transport vehicle. , "Ogan" rocket launcher, "Nora" B-52 truck gun, "Milosh" armored off-road vehicle.
The Air Force's weapons are lagging behind. They also have J-22 "Falcon" combat/attack aircraft, SA-341H light reconnaissance attack helicopters, and SA-342L light reconnaissance attack helicopters.
Seeing that most of the columns in the Croatian gift package were black, Ibrahim's face darkened...
This gift package is comparable to the Hungarian gift package that only has two heavy weapons: the KF-41 "Lynx" infantry fighting vehicle and the "Komeng" armored vehicle!
M-95 main battle tank paired with KF-41 "Lynx" infantry fighting vehicle!
Zhu Cixiang thinks that although this combination is not very matching, it can still be used.
This is just like most people's lives. Things go well for a while, and other times are not as good as you want.
With the assistance of a large number of bombers, attack aircraft, and helicopters, the Austrian ground forces were able to fight hard against the Croatian natives who only had one heavy weapon. Their combat effectiveness was overwhelming...
After various tests by relevant experts, the M-84 and M-95 main battle tanks have no problems, their performance is not bad, and their overall combat effectiveness is stronger than the "Horn" MK2 and "Arjun" MK2.
There's no problem in using it to fight Israel's "Merkava". Since they are all summoned, they can be consumed casually.
As for why the weapons in the Croatian gift package said so, Zhu Cixi could only comfort his old friend.
This thing is equivalent to opening a blind box. If you are lucky, you will open more, and vice versa.
You can't tell him the truth: Croatia is a small country, and it's pretty good that the military industry can produce these. Just be satisfied!
Zhu Cixiang thinks that Ibrahim should be contented. He is now second only to himself and has four gift packages.
Although the quality of the gift package is not very good, it can already compete with the two enemies of Israel and Persia.
The main battle tanks summoned by Ibrahim include TR-125, M-84, and M-95, the infantry fighting vehicles include M-80, MLI-84M, and KF-41, and the wheeled armored transport vehicles include "Saul" -2, "Lazar" -3.
Rocket launchers and artillery include ATROM truck guns, "NORA" B-52 truck guns, "Ogan" rocket launchers, and LAROM rocket launchers.
You can also get ten IAR-93 and J-22 "Falcon" combat/attack aircraft every day. In fact, these are the same model, and the names in the two gift packages are different.
This is equivalent to getting one mechanized infantry battalion every day. According to the maximum call limit, three hundred days a year, that is 300 mechanized infantry battalions, which is equivalent to the establishment of 75 mechanized infantry brigades or 25 armored brigades. .
It looks like a lot, but it's actually a lot.
If the Ming court equipped the army with 25 armored brigades, each with 360 main battle tanks, a total of 9,000, the same number of infantry fighting vehicles, and twice as many wheeled armored transport vehicles, If it comes to truck guns, rocket launchers, anti-aircraft vehicles, and armored off-road vehicles, then the Navy will have to directly stop purchasing capital ships...
In fact, before the general mobilization, the field forces of the Ming Empire only had 25 armored brigades, 60 mechanized brigades, 30 infantry brigades, 20 artillery brigades, and 10 mountain brigades, and they were deployed all over the world. of.
The ground troops summoned by Ibrahim were all deployed in Egypt, Sudan and other places in the Asian Peninsula and North Africa. The density of combat units was quite high.
Ibrahim was not at ease with deploying these summoned troops in the rear, so he simply transported them directly to the front line to fight with the Jews and Persians.
Zhu Cixi also arranged it in this way, and there is nothing wrong with doing so.
Only after turning the soldiers into 40K female soldiers can an emperor safely place them in the hinterland.
In order of the big gifts obtained, it is currently Zhu Cihong>Ibrahim>Zheng Chenggong>Poirot>Louis XIV.
Although Louis XIV did not directly receive the Indian gift package, Zhu Cixiang promised to give him part of the summoned weapons and equipment.
Specifically, it is 83% of combat aircraft (five out of six models, except Su-30MKI), 70% of army equipment (seven out of ten models, T-90S main battle tank, K-9 self-propelled artillery, Except for the Predator M4 armored vehicle).
A quarter of the navy's equipment is three aircraft carrier battle groups.
Overall, the weapons and equipment obtained by Louis XIV were equivalent to half a gift package.
Zheng Chenggong's gift package was equivalent to one and a half, because in addition to the South African gift package he received, a certain master also promised to give him a batch of weapons for free as a thank you to his disciple for giving him the Spanish gift package.
The gift in return is equivalent to half a gift package, because it includes 500 A400M tactical transport aircraft, 1,000 "Typhoon" fighter jets, 1,000 NH90 medium-sized helicopters, 4 "Juan Carlos I" class amphibious assault ships, 8 "Galicia" class dock landing ship and 16 "Bazin" class Aegis destroyers.
These are the things missing in South Africa's gift package, which can just fill the gap for Zheng Chenggong, and he can obtain so many weapons and equipment every year.
Zhu Cixiang currently has five gift packages, one of which is an upgraded version of the kimchi gift package, which is a very special model and has the ability to be exchanged for Min-use products.
The other four are Britain, Russia, India, and Spain. It can be said that the contents of the worst Indian gift bag are even worse than those of Ibrahim’s four gift bags combined!
Even if Ibrahim had collected both the Israeli and Persian gift packages, including the four he had previously obtained, the sum of these six gift packages would not be as good as one Russian gift package.
Even Zhu Cixi didn't expect that the most practical application of nuclear weapons, which cost tens of billions to develop, was to grab big gift packages!
Without nuclear weapons, it would be difficult to grab the eight gift packages of Brazil, Indonesia, Australia, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Russia, India, and Spain.
Only three big gift packages, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, and Poland, may be successful, but until now, they have not been able to regain their territories in Africa. The disciple Zheng Chenggong's place is probably bulldozed by the opponent.
With nuclear weapons, winning or not is another matter, at least we won't lose quickly.
After Poirot learned the outline of the fleet's participation in the Battle of New Zealand, he also hoped to obtain an air defense destroyer with vertical launch capabilities.
For an old friend who is honest and reliable, Zhu Cixiang will naturally not be stingy and sell him twenty "Bazin" class Aegis destroyers.
The ships were delivered in ten months, with two ships delivered each month, which could just be used to protect the Inca fleet returning from Western Europe.
There is no need for old friends to pay with real money, just continue to trade with ores and metal semi-finished products.
In order to prove that it is worth the money, each ship will also be equipped with four pickle-style "goalkeeper" 30mm close-in defense guns.
Anyway, I don’t care about the stealth performance, just plug in the close-in anti-cannon.
Invisibility is useless these days. Whoever has the strongest firepower will win the final victory!
Poirot also ordered 500 A400M tactical transport aircraft and 3,000 "Typhoon" fighter jets, which is definitely a big deal.
There are no naval ships in Argentina’s gift package. The Inca Imperial Navy has aircraft carriers, battleships, and amphibious assault ships, but it lacks capital ships with regional air defense capabilities.
Although ten Aegis ships manufactured by the Ming Empire were ordered, these were completely unable to compete with the "Bazin" class Aegis destroyers, so Poirot placed the order.
Then there are the only combat aircraft in the gift package: IA-63 "Pampa" jet attack/trainer, IA-58 propeller twin-engine fighter, and MD-500 light reconnaissance helicopter.
A group of IA-63s may not be able to defeat a "Typhoon". Even the "Wang Jiu" imported from the Ming Empire is not a match for the "Typhoon".
It is also necessary to purchase an A400M tactical transport aircraft. All TAM vehicle owners can use this type of transport aircraft for air transport, which is very convenient.
The summoned equipment does not have supporting parts, so there is no after-sales service involved. Zhu Cixiang sells it very cheaply and accepts barter.
Even if only 100 of the 500 A400M tactical transport aircraft can be used and the remaining 400 are used as organ donors, the Inca Air Force will have certain long-range delivery capabilities.
Within two hours, using one hundred A400Ms to deliver one hundred TAM light tanks was enough to quell a rebellion somewhere in the Inca Empire.
The Inca Empire had no overseas territories, so as long as there were enough transport aircraft, quick reaction forces could be delivered to any part of the empire in a short period of time.
Zhu Cixiang believes that Bolo's new air force strength can be maintained at 100 A400M tactical transport aircraft and 600 "Typhoon" fighter jets.
Purchasing five times as many aircraft would be equivalent to having weapons and spare parts guaranteed, which was enough to protect the security of the Inca Empire.
The front-line combat force of the Inca Air Force has 600 "Typhoon" fighter jets that can be dispatched at any time. In South America, even the South Atlantic and Southeast Pacific regions, it is an existence that no one dares to mess with.
The three aircrafts IA-63, IA-58, and MD-500 summoned by Poirot, combined with the TAM car clan, assault vehicles, and pickup trucks, are used to wipe out the stubborn armed gangs, and he can sit back and relax.
In terms of fighting will, Argentina’s gift package is not as good as Croatia’s gift package. It is simply a joke in the gift package world.
The defense pressure faced by the Inca Empire was far less than that of the Ottoman Empire, and Poirot could only call it a false alarm.
For Zhu Cixiang, supporting his disciples and selling weapons to old friends at the same time was something he could handle.
Because an A400M tactical transport aircraft and a "Typhoon" fighter jet are included in the British gift package and the Spanish gift package.
In line with the principle of not cheating old friends, Zhu Cixiang did not sell the Polo "Tornado" fighter jets and Russian weapons and equipment.
"Tempest" is called a fighter, but it is actually three types of fighters - ADV interception type, IDS ground attack type, and ECR electronic warfare type.
The British gift package only has the ADV interceptor type, and the "Tornado" ADV can do it, and the "Typhoon" can do it.
"Typhoon" is actually a multi-purpose fighter capable of interception. The purpose of high-altitude, high-speed and supersonic cruise is actually to intercept.
This is completely different from the "Rafale" which has low altitude and low speed. The "Rafale" has this function to become a carrier-based aircraft, and it can enter the field at low speed to facilitate landing.
The differences between Britain and France eventually led to the birth of "Typhoon" and "Rafale"...
For example, if Poirot had hesitated or even refused when Zhu Cihong wanted to send an Inca fleet to aid New Zealand and ground troops to help Zheng Chenggong.
Zhu Cixiang would never sell him the "Typhoon" afterwards, but would use the "Guangfeng" as a perfunctory solution, because the weapons mounted on the two were completely different.
Each British version of the "Typhoon" comes standard with four "Meteor" long-range air-to-air missiles with a range of hundreds of kilometers, two "Amram" combat missiles, and two "Storm Shadow" cruise missiles.
"Tempest" is equipped with four "Sky Flash" air-to-air missiles and four "Amram" combat missiles. The former has a range of 30 kilometers and the latter has a range of 15 kilometers.
Isn't this difference obvious?
The "Tornado" ADV interceptor type seems to have a large combat radius, but in fact, the combat effectiveness of four "Tornado" is not as good as one "Typhoon".
The repair and maintenance of the variable-angle swept wings are very troublesome. It is better to get it right in one step and buy a "Typhoon" with much more powerful firepower.
It's easy to save money. I have a large number of "Jaguar" attack aircraft here. Do you want to? ? ?
The combat effectiveness of this thing is definitely higher than the "Scissored Kite", but without a production line, it is destined to be a one-time product.
Zhu Cixiang wanted to sell it to Louis XIV at a discount because all the "jaguars" in the third brother's gift package were given to him.
In the eyes of a certain emperor, "Typhoon" is a chicken leg, "Storm" is worthless, and "Jaguar" is a toy for sale.
The fourth and a half generations include the KF-21 fighter, and the fourth generation includes the twin-engine Su-30MKI, Su-30SM2, Typhoon, and the single-engine KF-16.
Things like Su-25 attack aircraft, Su-34 fighter-bombers, Su-35 fighter jets, Su-57 fighter jets, and MiG-35 fighter jets.
After you save a lot, you can consider raising some of it to enrich the front-line combat troops. Otherwise, it will be a huge burden. It is better to sell it directly to other partners.
If it really can't be sold, the mounted weapons will be removed and used as inventory. Anyway, the Su-30SM2 can use all Russian weapons.
The number of F-35B, AV-8B, and "Rafale" is very small, which can only increase the sense of security for the navy, and cannot be counted on to fight large-scale naval battles.
