Zhu Cixiang believes that the reason why Hussein is so arrogant is probably because he was misled by various information.
Louis XIV communicated with Hussein through himself and asked him to return the occupied French western India.
This led Hussein to believe that not only France's national power and military power were greatly weakened during the rebellion.
The Ming Empire was also severely weakened by wars with Japan, Switzerland, Britain, Russia, and local rebels.
He did have a witness who knew the situation, Shi Ren, who fled to Persia.
According to Zhu Cixiang's estimation, Shi Ren should persuade Hussein like this: Brother, come with me to destroy the Ottomans in the west, invade France in the east, resist the barbarians in the north, and go south to the Indian Ocean. After this is accomplished, not only will Persia be able to dominate China's East and South Asia, but it will also have a lot of money, gold bars, and beautiful women. Do you understand? ? ?
King David's strong attack to seize the Arabian Peninsula should make Hussein envious. He did not expect that the Ottoman army was so vulnerable.
When it's his turn to strike, of course he can't be merciful, and he has to let an old friend understand who deserves help more...
In addition, they have won many battles before, attacking the Mesopotamia to the west and the Indus River to the east. This may be the source of Mi's confidence.
The smoother the success in the early stage, the more reluctant you are to give up in the middle. You always think that you can win more and more in the future, and then become the biggest winner in the world.
Not to mention that Hussein only had a few summoned weapons in his hand. Even if he obtained all the weapons of Persia, as long as he was an enemy of the Ming Empire, it would be impossible to become the final winner.
In general, the items in the Persian gift package, except for anti-aircraft missiles, are not as good as the similar equipment in the Spanish gift package.
As for the gadgets of the Persian Navy, the Ming warships not only saw them up close, but also took photos and videos.
After seeing them, Zhu Cixi understood them relatively well and was able to understand their combat performance.
Before making the call, the defenders, their families, and staff from Bahrain, Qatar, and the Horn of Persia all took transport planes and ships to evacuate to the clearly controlled East Africa.
It only took three days, which was very fast. All the confidential equipment that could not be taken away was blown up, and there was no need to carry insignificant items at all.
Things like armored patrol cars can be left on the spot without taking up any space on the ship. The round-trip freight is almost more expensive than the car. You can still get one with better performance in the future.
By the time the war started, there were no soldiers or civilians from the Ming Empire anywhere in the Persian Gulf, and those left behind were almost all natives who were unwilling to leave.
The fleet will also take away the natives who are willing to follow the evacuation.
However, many natives are happy to see the arrogant Ming army go away in despair. They are more willing to accept the management of the Ottoman Empire or the Persian Kingdom.
These natives all hope that the Ming army will go as far away as possible, and it is best never to come back...
When Louis XIV heard that his old friend was going to send troops to the western region of French India occupied by Persia, he was so happy that this was something he had dreamed of, and it actually became a reality. It was so pleasant.
However, Zhu Cihong's next words made Louis XIV a little reluctant, that is, the Ming army would be responsible for the entire process, and the French army only needed to take over the land afterwards.
It sounds like the French army is like a garbage collector, and Louis XIV is very clear about the real purpose of his old friend, which is to eliminate Shiren and possibly steal Shiren's summoning power.
Since Shiren has gone to his own territory, it is necessary to share half of the spoils when meeting. This distribution of spoils is very fair and reasonable.
For Zhu Cixiang, Shi Ren was his prey. He had previously delivered a lot of weapons and equipment to Louis XIV in advance, but this guy was just opening his mouth.
At most one-third, if you don't agree, you can only give him a quarter.
However, Zhu Cixiang still agreed, because there is also a secret to it.
The Japanese gift pack includes 9 types of army equipment, 11 types of air force equipment, and 15 types of naval equipment.
Zhu Cixiang does not want the Army's Type 90 main battle tanks, 10 Type 99 self-propelled howitzers, Type 96 self-propelled mortars, Type 87 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and Type 13 fire support vehicles.
Only the Baqiu infantry fighting vehicle, Type 96 armored personnel carrier, light armored motor vehicle (Jeep), and military truck are required, because except for the light armored motor vehicle which comes standard with four soldiers, the other three vehicles all come with ten people as standard.
Exchanging these people into 40K female soldiers, 440 people can be produced every day, which is 132,000 female soldiers three hundred days a year. It is simply awesome...
The Air Force's F-15J fighter jets, F-2A fighter jets, OH-1 armed reconnaissance helicopters, BK-117 light multi-purpose helicopters, and C-1 transport aircraft were all given to Louis XIV.
Zhu Cixiang left behind C-2 transport aircraft, P-1 anti-submarine patrol aircraft, F-35A fighter jets, UH-60JA medium multi-purpose helicopters, SH-60K medium anti-submarine helicopters, and MCH-101 heavy mine clearance transport helicopters.
Navy ships would not give Louis XIV three aircraft carrier battle groups like three big gift packages, because of the particularity of Japanese warships, they had to be divided according to ship type.
The "Izumo" class helicopter carriers are all for our own use, and the "Hyuga" class helicopter carriers can be given to Louis XIV.
Not a single "Osumi"-class amphibious transport ship is needed, and all can be given to the French Navy.
"Maya", "Atago", and "King Kong", these three levels of Aegis destroyers are the main force of anti-missile.
The "Asahi" class destroyers, "Akiyuki" class destroyers, and "Takaha" class destroyers were all assigned to Louis XIV.
Zhu Cixiang took all the "Mogami" class frigates and let his old friend take over the "Murasame" class frigates.
He keeps the "Mashu" class supply ship and sends it to the opponent's "Towada" class supply ship.
The more advanced "Whale" class conventionally powered submarines are for personal use, and the French Navy only needs to have the "Sanglong" class conventionally powered submarines.
Anyway, Zhu Cixiang's focus is on the three levels of Aegis destroyers and the "Izumo" class helicopter carriers. The number of other ships can be discussed.
If this division does not satisfy Louis XIV, Zhu Cihong can also allocate him three aircraft carrier battle groups every year in the form of aircraft carrier battle groups.
The three battle groups are 12 helicopter carriers, 9 transport ships, 18 Aegis ships, 36 destroyers, 48 frigates, 12 supply ships, and 24 conventional submarines.
If allocated according to the above model, Louis XIV can obtain 24 helicopter carriers, 36 transport ships, 144 destroyers, 96 frigates, 24 supply ships, and 48 submarines.
The number and combat effectiveness of the latter were almost double that of the former, which was a very cost-effective deal for Louis XIV.
This is equivalent to 55% of the army's equipment, 45% of the air force's equipment, and 53% of the navy's equipment belonging to Louis XIV. It not only met his requirements, but also gave him a slight advantage.
Because he has obtained a large amount of main battle equipment that the French Army urgently needs, the Air Force can also obtain enough fighter jets, helicopters, and transport aircraft.
The French Navy can even form 12 aircraft carrier battle groups with dual aircraft carriers, 12 destroyers, 8 frigates, and 4 submarines.
Now Louis XIV could finally have the confidence to declare to the outside world that France was truly the second largest country in the world!
Zhu Cixi is not at a loss either. He can obtain 24 helicopter carriers, 72 Aegis destroyers, 96 frigates, 24 supply ships, and 48 submarines every year.
The point is to plunder all the Aegis destroyers into your own pocket, and the F-35B carried by the aircraft carrier is secondary.
According to the accounts of captured Japanese military officers, each "Izumo" class helicopter carrier is equipped with 15 F-35Bs as standard, while the "Hyuga" class helicopter carriers only have 10 F-35Bs.
Four aircraft carriers every month can only add 50 F-35Bs, which is only 600 a year.
What's more, the F-35B is only equipped with two AIM-120D long-range air-to-air missiles and two NSM anti-ship missiles as standard. These weapons are completely insufficient unless this fifth-generation aircraft is used as a one-time consumable.
Zhu Cixiang no longer expects to have channels to obtain a large number of F-35Bs. On the contrary, it is easier to obtain a large number of F-35As from the Air Force. The premise is that the Ming Dynasty King Division can really kill Shi Ren and not let Hussein take advantage.
Since there are fewer and fewer enemies, and the target this time is particularly important, it can be accomplished in one battle.
Jiexuan's main fleet and Huang Ting's Australian fleet can all be pulled to the Arabian Sea and directly block most of the Persian coastline.
There is no need to enter the Persian Gulf for the time being. Most of the ships of the Ming Dynasty are thousands of tons. The waters there are not very generous and it is easy for Hussein to catch him off guard with missile boats.
For coastal areas, the Ming Navy was responsible for the blockade, and the Marine Corps carried out beach landing operations.
Each British aircraft carrier battle group includes an "Ocean" class amphibious assault ship and a "Poseidon" class dock landing ship.
Each Indian aircraft carrier battle group includes four "Shadur" class tank landing ships, and the Russian series has four Type 11711 amphibious landing ships.
The Spanish gift package includes a "Juan Carlos I" class amphibious assault ship and two "Galicia" class dock landing ships.
Adding up the four gift packages, you can get two amphibious assault ships, three dock landing ships, and eight tanks/amphibious landing ships every month.
If accumulated over four months, the size of the amphibious strike group would be quite astonishing. It could send a marine brigade's equipment and soldiers to the beach at one time.
Moreover, the "Invincible"-class helicopter carrier, the "Baku" helicopter carrier, and the "Asturias" aircraft carrier can all support landing operations, which is equivalent to twelve more aircraft carriers in the amphibious fleet.
There were two landing sites, one was the western port of French India, Karachi, and the other was Chabahar in southeastern Persia.
Just in case, troops were summoned to take charge of Chabahar, and Ming marines landed in Karachi, which may have been Shiren's escape location.
The fleet size of the Ming Navy’s expedition to Persia reached 46 aircraft carriers, 30 amphibious assault ships, 10 battleships, 20 cruisers, 195 destroyers, 223 frigates, 98 conventional submarines, 166 landing ships, 88 Supply ships, 202 transport ships, and 385 merchant ships.
In order to help his master, Zheng Chenggong also sent 120 offshore patrol ships (displacement 600 tons) and the same number of "Samurai" class missile boats (displacement 430 tons).
After the Spanish were eliminated, these two little cuties were actually of little use in the waters of Fujian. It would be better to participate in the battle and gain actual combat experience.
There are many "cutes" on both sides, it just depends on which side is more fierce...
Zheng Guangying's fleet came to gain experience again. This time they were only responsible for the periphery and did not need to charge into the battle.
But the danger is not without it. There are too many small boats in the Persian Navy, and the Zheng Jun warship may win the prize if it is not careful.
The military branch with the greatest advantage over the Persian and Japanese armies of the Ming Dynasty was not the navy, but the air force.
The Su-25 attack aircraft, Su-34 fighter-bombers, Su-35 fighter jets, Su-57 fighter jets, and MiG-35 fighter jets that were previously planned to be abolished can all be used.
Ka-52 armed helicopters, Mi-28 armed helicopters, and Mi-35 armed helicopters were all put into battle to deal with Persian mountain infantry in the mountains of Afghanistan.
After Shiren heard that Zhu Cixiang was about to take action against him, he could run to the beach and release an aircraft carrier battle group.
I originally planned to fight to the death, but after thinking of the profound lesson learned last time, I let my aircraft carrier battle group run to the Persian Gulf to take refuge in despair.
It is still questionable whether the western part of French India that has just been occupied can be held. If it is not possible, the only option is to take a fighter jet and escape to the Persian mainland as soon as possible, or even go to King David.
Zhang Huangyan originally planned to land on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea and attack Tehran, the Persian capital less than 200 kilometers away from the shore.
However, considering that they had to cross Mount Elbrus, they had to give up temporarily and divide their troops into three groups.
The first line started from Khabad (Ashgabat) and directly attacked northeastern Persia.
This road faces the greatest difficulties, so soldiers from the British, Russian and Western armies are the main ones, and they will fight wherever they go.
Zhu Cihong is not afraid of fighting a war of attrition with Hussein. If four gift packages cannot defeat one gift package, then there is no need to live.
The second line started from Dushanbe and attacked the Persian army in Afghanistan.
The terrain faced by this road is the most complex, with many mountains and many "gophers", making it difficult to encircle and suppress them.
The troops attacking here can be supported by a large number of armed helicopters, and can also use thermobaric bombs and tactical nuclear bombs.
The third route starts from the Pamir Plateau and goes south to the western region of French India.
This road is the top priority, with the Ming Dynasty King's division as the main force, supplemented by Indian soldiers, who can serve as part-time translators.
Zhang Huangyan invested three special operations brigades, three mountain brigades, three armored brigades, six mechanized infantry brigades, and six infantry brigades at one time here. It is impossible for Shi Ren to succeed if he wants to hold on here.
Since Hussein believes that the Ming Dynasty is dead, he and Shi Ren can defeat the invincible Ming Dynasty King Shi in partnership, so we can wait and see...
The Ming Empire had carried out a large-scale mobilization before, but after the nuclear bombs wiped out the land, those gift packs had to die or escape. To this day, only three of them are still alive.
The troops that had been mobilized before became idle. Zhu Cixiang did not need them to fight on the front line, he only asked them to stick to the rear.
The troops on the front line were all field troops from the Ming Dynasty King's Division. They were well-trained and had good offensive and defensive skills. Moreover, this time they could practice in battle, which was a rare good opportunity.
Since the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty has lost the opportunity to compete with Persia, the powerful power in the Western Regions.
After picking it up this time, Zhang Huangyan regarded Persia as a touchstone to see what the quality of the army's field troops was like...
