Under the triple influence of rebellion, earthquakes, and tsunamis, it can also make the country richer and richer. The Inca Empire is definitely a wonder in the world today.
The so-called rebellion was just a joke. It didn't take long before he was shot to death by the Inca army, which was like giving Poirot a big gift for nothing.
Although the weapons inside are not very good, they are still much better than those of Louis XIV. At least they can produce 40K-type female soldiers in batches.
After eliminating the rebellion, eliminating future troubles, and pacifying the disasters affected by the earthquake and tsunami, Poirot still has the energy to help his old friends.
If he didn't express his gratitude at this time, he would have to wait for many more years if he wanted to repay the favor.
Pay back as much as you can at this time, otherwise you will be embarrassed to speak out when you are in trouble.
The New Inca Empire was established with the help of the Ming Army. Without the help of the Ming Army, I am afraid it would still be a Spanish colony, and the Incas would still be slaves crawling at the feet of the Spanish.
Therefore, having a friend like Zhu Cihong is really chivalrous and courageous. He can help him build his country and make himself an emperor, which is unparalleled in the world.
Sending ten brigades at a time to assist in the battle can only be regarded as a slight indication of the intentions, and at the same time it can also play the role of training in battle.
Since there are no enemies in South America that threaten the Inca Empire, the Ming army can still support itself at any time.
It is difficult to maintain a high combat effectiveness among the three armed forces without participating in actual combat for a long time.
Although the Inca army had routine exercises with the Ming army every month, the schedule throughout the year was full.
But after all, this is not actual combat. It is better to practice a hundred times than to fight once in actual combat to find out the problem.
Ming Jun is just the opposite. He has been engaged in actual combat all year round, has rich practical experience, and is a very good teacher.
Poirot also wanted to test the specific performance of the weapons and equipment in the gift package.
For example, the TAM vehicle family, headed by the TAM light tank, can run rampant in South America.
After arriving in Persia, it was useful except for landing on the beach.
This kind of light tank fights deep into the interior. It is really like popcorn. It explodes as soon as it is hit. The turret can fly more than ten meters away...
They are completely different from the main battle tanks imported from the Ming Empire equipped by the Inca army. Fortunately, they are given away for free.
Therefore, Poirot believes that through this assistance, it is very likely that a batch of new equipment will be purchased for the army.
The 500 A400M tactical transport aircraft, 3,000 "Typhoon" fighter jets, and 20 "Bazin" class Aegis destroyers previously ordered have begun to be delivered one after another from our old friend.
The Air Force and Navy are full of praise for the new equipment, so the Army will naturally not stare at it. The first choice is the new main battle tanks and heavy infantry fighting vehicles that keep pace with the times.
As a die-hard ally, Zhu Cixiang will naturally not be stingy. He can choose from five main battle tanks: Challenger-III, Leopard II-E, T-90S, T-90M, and T-14.
And there was no need for Poirot to pay cash, all could be bartered with semi-finished metal products like copper ingots.
After the war, there was no need for the Ming Dynasty King's Division to equip so many types of main battle tanks. It would be great if they could be exported.
All crew members can become 40K female soldiers, let them get married and live a life without worries about food and clothing.
For old friends, especially hardcore allies, Zhu Cixiang has always been generous and just wants to make the other party feel satisfied.
As for sending prisoners to work in the Inca mines, this is not yet a must.
The main reason is that I am worried about accidents during transportation and work, which will cause unnecessary trouble to my old friends.
There are many mines in the Ming Dynasty. If necessary, they can be arranged nearby. It is absolutely necessary to go to South America with all the effort.
If we really go there, the first choice place to work will be Daming's mines in South America.
However, the mines in Afghanistan are enough to keep the prisoners busy for a while. Anyway, they can only survive in the mountains if they escape.
Anyone who reports the escape of prisoners will receive rewards of varying amounts once the situation is verified. Those who help capture the fugitives can directly receive heavy rewards.
Theoretically, it ranges from a thousand dollars in cash to a pickup truck worth 260,000 dollars, depending on how much the fugitive is worth.
There were thousands of bounty hunters throughout the Ming Empire due to the number of escaped prisoners and slaves who left settlements without authorization every year.
Most of them are people who have retired from the army or factory guards, and have strong detection and search abilities. This profession is still a profession certified by the imperial court, not a professional title.
The requirements for doing this are not high, as long as you pay the certification fee on time every year.
If the bounty hunter is out hunting for prey for a long time, someone else can pay the fee on his behalf.
Most of the people who work with factory guards to capture fugitives are bounty hunters.
If ordinary people without military training want to monopolize the bounty, they may become the target's prey...
However, because the money is quick in this business, it also attracts many laymen, and there are even large-scale teams that form teams to catch fugitives.
The court will not be too demanding on it. As long as it is within the legal scope, you can do whatever you want.
Those in these teams with outstanding achievements will often receive "cakes" distributed by factory guards.
Some places where the factory guards are unwilling to go will be directly handled by the hunting team, and the money and goods will be cleared by then.
Over time, these hunting groups naturally developed into mercenary groups.
You can be responsible for some tasks that the court is unwilling to send troops to do. After completing the tasks, you can pay if they pass the inspection.
Special forces can also complete these tasks, but it's just not very honorable.
Regardless of Zhu Cixiang's will or not, due to the limited scale of the Ming Dynasty's army and its inability to completely control every inch of the Ming Empire's territory, mercenary groups sprouted up as naturally as weeds.
Zhu Cixiang could continue to expand the Ming Dynasty's division, but in peacetime there was no need to retain a large number of front-line combat troops, especially infantry.
The Army's key development goals are special forces, armored forces, army aviation pilots, and ordinary infantry who can become more economical reserves after their service terms expire, ready for deployment at any time.
The population of the Ming Empire is close to three billion. If it encounters a large-scale war, such as this time, the number of infantry that needs to be mobilized may be close to ten million.
With such a large scale, in normal times, raising troops would require a large amount of money. Zhu Cihong was not stingy, but the province's money must be saved, and military expenses must be spent wisely.
In times of extraordinary war, the three levels of armed forces: regular army, reserve force, and regiment training, supplemented by a large number of factory guard patrols and border defense battalions are sufficient.
In remote areas, nooks and crannies that the imperial troops could not reach could be outsourced to mercenary groups.
For example, killing scattered armed natives in Afghanistan will dilute the energy of special forces.
Let the mercenaries go up at this time. Even if something goes wrong, the court will say: I don't know...
The local natives who were unwilling to surrender, or who revolted after surrendering, were all fierce and aggressive people, and there were even minors who participated.
Mercenaries don't have to worry about it that much. They just receive a mission and do the work. After the job is done, they take the body and the captured weapons to collect the bounty.
They are not required to join the frontal battlefield. In a battle with the enemy's regular army with powerful firepower, lightly-armed mercenaries will not gain anything good.
The entire army of the Ming Dynasty was engaged in a protracted and fierce battle with the main force of the Persian army, consuming so much weapons and ammunition that it could be said to have set a new record.
In the first two months of the invasion of the Persian mainland, the Ming Dynasty King's Division, together with the summoned troops, lost a total of more than 1,000 fighter jets and attack aircraft, and more than 1,300 helicopters of various types, equivalent to the total number of combat aircraft currently in service. more than half.
This was all a masterpiece of Persian anti-aircraft missiles and anti-aircraft guns. If it hadn't been for the missiles and large-scale artillery cover, the number of losses would have been much higher.
The losses of the Persian army on the opposite side were naturally greater. Three lines of defense had been destroyed, and Hussein, who was desperate, could only devote ten armored brigades and eight mechanized brigades to counterattack.
The Ming Dynasty King Division went all out, which also made the battle of Cavil Salt Desert one of the super tank battles in the world.
Because a large-scale tank battle also broke out between the Ottomans and Israel in the middle reaches of the Sei River west of Kayseri.
The Israeli army mainly uses the "Merkava"-4 type, while the Austrian army uses three main battle tanks: TR-125 (Romania), M-84 (Serbia), and M-95 (Croatia) to face the enemy.
But that fight ended in defeat for both sides, and both sides lost more than a thousand main battle tanks.
Although the Israeli air force is weak, the advantages of the air defense system are obvious and the armored forces have not been hit hard by the air.
The Ottoman Air Force could not play its due role and lost many combat aircraft. However, with the large number of ground troops, it was still able to defeat the stubborn enemy and defend the area around Kayseri.
Comparing the size of the troops summoned, Ibrahim's troops were at least three times that of David. Coupled with the strong strength accumulated by the Ottoman Empire over the years and the support of the Ming Empire, there was no disadvantage in fighting a war of attrition.
In this battle, Persia invested more than 1,500 main battle tanks, mainly the new "Karal".
The Ming Dynasty King's Division participated in the battle with 625 "Challenger"-IIIs and 594 "Leopard" II-Es, for a total of 1,219 vehicles, equivalent to 80% of the opponent's number .
But in terms of range, accuracy, and defensive power, the Ming Dynasty's main battle tank is superior to the "Karar" used by the Persians.
The two sides started shooting at a distance of three or four kilometers. The performance of the hunter-killer and thermal imaging systems of the Wang Division's main battle tank was naturally better than that of the "Karal", and the hit rate during the journey reached more than 50%.
Although the smoke and dust raised by the tracks on the battlefield reached the level of covering the sky and the sun, the tanks of the Ming Dynasty King Division also actively released smoke grenades, but this did not affect the Wang Division's use of 120mm smoothbore cannons to call the opponent one by one... …
Many of the "Karal" who were hit immediately took off their hats and saluted, and only a handful of them survived. Their poor protection was fully reflected at this time.
At a distance of more than three kilometers, it is difficult for this kind of main battle tank to accurately hit high-speed moving targets because smoke and dust must be blocked, and the thermal imaging can only see a distance of two kilometers.
Long-range shooting has become a game of chance, but the price of participating in this gambling game is very heavy, and you will be beaten to pieces in an instant.
The expected close combat did not happen. The tank cluster of the Ming Dynasty King Division was located two kilometers away from the enemy, and most of the invading enemies were eliminated.
In the case of hedging, the entire battle only lasted for more than ten minutes. After three rounds of volleys, the opponent had been paralyzed in large areas.
The few tanks that survived immediately turned around and ran away, not wanting to become targets again.
These lucky ones would have been left on the battlefield if they didn't have the wreckage behind them as a cover.
Modern war is a high-intensity confrontation. It may seem large in scale, but in fact the outcome can be decided in a very short period of time.
The advantage of the King Tank is that it has the dual blessing of thermal imagers and night vision devices. Even if you cannot see the opponent with optical instruments, you can still use the thermal imager with superior performance to catch the opponent off guard during the day.
The Persian army is not unprepared. Hussein has already ordered that some self-developed tanks be modified into special models capable of launching anti-tank missiles, which can give the Ming army a heavy blow.
Then, on complex battlefields with extremely low visibility, anti-tank missile systems using optical targeting have no way of functioning.
You can't even see the target, and you have to provide fire cover for your own tanks.
In desperation, in order to avoid being shot in advance, we can only fire randomly and hit wherever it hits.
As a result, in the panic, before the anti-tank missile could fly near the target, it accidentally damaged the rear of one's own tank...
Then some anti-tank vehicles were hit by rapidly flying five-core armor-piercing bullets, and even the spare ammunition in the vehicle body exploded.
Another part was opened by the "Tiger" armed helicopter flying from the opposite side. Although the accompanying self-propelled anti-aircraft guns also made a difference, they were unable to turn the tide of the battle at all.
More than fifty "Tiger" armed helicopters were shot down, and the entire fleet still destroyed more than two hundred main battle tanks of the Persian army.
At this time, we can no longer be afraid of losses. The greater the investment, the higher the return. What’s more, the other party no longer has the capital to make a comeback unless Shi Ren is taken out of the pot in advance...
Just in a war of attrition, Emperor Hao Jing could still use the super production capacity of the Ming Empire's military industry to consume Hussein alive even if he didn't have a summoning gift pack.
In the past, they even used nuclear bombs to deal with Britain and Spain. Now they finally saw some rewards. At least if they are pushed on the ground, the "Challenger" and the "Leopard" 2 are both good players.
If you need to make up the numbers, you can also add the Tiger-4 (prototype Leopard II) main battle tank. There are at least tens of thousands of them in existence.
After the military industry has fully absorbed the main battle tanks in the summoning gift package, the "Tiger" 5 will be able to shine on the world, and the "Tiger" 4 will become a consumable, otherwise it will have to be disposed of at a low price.
The new main battle tanks still need to emphasize heavy protection so that they can be used in decisive ground battles. The lighter weight Russian T-90 does not require reference at all.
Zhu Cixiang believes that only two new types of tanks need to be developed, heavy tanks for horizontal pushing operations, and light tanks for rapid deployment by transport aircraft to various parts of the world.
Although the Ming Dynasty King Division has troops stationed in the mainland and overseas territories, the scale and composition are different. It is still necessary to develop a new generation of light tanks because it facilitates rapid response within 24 hours.
Hussein insists on going his own way and insists on seeking death, so let him see that in the end he can only die...
