In September 1997, NATO held the "Central Asia Peacekeeping" joint military exercise in Central Asia. Under this name, 500 officers and soldiers of the 82nd Airborne Division of the US Army descended from the sky in Kazakhstan, setting foot on the coveted hinterland of Asia for the first time.

restricted area. In 1998, NATO held four more military exercises in Central Asian countries, the larger of which were the "Campaign Series 98" in June and the "Central Asia Peacekeeping 98' in September. Analysts pointed out that these exercises

The political significance is greater than the military significance. Because through the exercise, NATO successfully opened a crack in Russia's strategic "backyard" and set a precedent for its future implementation of "peacekeeping operations" including the implementation of "international humanitarian assistance".

At the same time, it also takes an important step for the United States to exert military influence in Central Asia.

"Mr. President, in fact, our country is also prepared for the matter between you and India. Recently, there are a number of retired M3 infantry tanks in the country. I think if we work hard, these things should be shipped as quickly as possible.

"?" This guy said it and then stopped talking. There are some things that are not said out loud. Changrong knew that he had to make a bid at this time, otherwise the plan might not be in his hands. This

I am also aware of the batch of decommissioned weapons from the United States. The M3 infantry tank is such a big deal. The appeal of these things to Pakistan is definitely similar to those of my own. Doesn’t he just have the T90 that he just got from Russia?

.

The full name of the M2 infantry fighting vehicle is the M2 "Bradley" infantry fighting vehicle. The American M2 infantry fighting vehicle was equipped with troops in 1983. It was used by the U.S. military for about 100 years in the Gulf War. After the U.S. invasion of Iraq, a large number of M2 infantry fighting vehicles were sent to

Gulf. Although it can effectively attack the tanks and armored vehicles of the Iraqi regular army, it is unable to prevent the guerrillas' RPG rocket launchers. Even if the reinforced M2 infantry combat frontal armor can withstand the attack of the old RPG7, the guerrillas' weapons are likely to be more than

rpg7, and the enemy is usually not stupid enough to directly attack the front. The Energy Group has done experiments before. If it attacks the side, this thing has no defense capability at all. In this regard, it is not as good as its own T90.

But the quantity was overwhelming. Just when Changrong was thinking about the quantity, the damn American ambassador spoke again.

"This time our country's army is changing its equipment. I can guarantee that at least 500 of them will come over, which is enough to form an armored division. It can greatly improve Pakistan's combat effectiveness. I believe that on the India-Pakistan battlefield

The frontline will also be of great help." Needless to say, this guy said this to tell Musharraf that we will support you in a big way, but you cannot grant this place to the energy group, otherwise

We wouldn't be able to bear it.

Musharraf glanced at the American with some doubts. Damn it, are you here with me? I am not that short-sighted. The whole world knows that you Americans are not so easy to get money from. You Americans

You will get back a lot for every penny you pay. Everyone knows this, and if you give us assistance, you will definitely give it to India. You definitely don’t want us to take the initiative to take over the power of the subcontinent. But hate it, hate it now.

Let's take a look at what the energy group has given us. The bait has already been out. Now it depends on how you do it. Although Americans are the ones who raise prices, from now on, you are doing very well.

"Our energy group is also very clear about everything in your country, and we get along very well. I won't say anything else. 450 T90s and 50,000 rounds of artillery shells. I think this is our greatest capability.

I wonder how much these can help you?" After Changrong finished speaking, he looked at the Americans provocatively. Everyone knows that the combat effectiveness of tanks exceeds that of these infantry fighting vehicles. Musharraf is not a fool. He knows better, t901

It is a relatively advanced thing now, and the most important thing is that it can fight against the Indians. Your infantry fighting vehicles are all old, and we in Pakistan are also familiar with Soviet-made weapons. Although American-made weapons are also good,

But compared with Soviet-made weapons, it seems to be somewhat inadequate, at least in the eyes of Pakistanis.

Musharraf is very satisfied with the answer of the energy group. This is a huge resistance. The Indian army only has a few hundred vehicles on the front line. In the blink of an eye, he is like them. Very good, very good. Next

This guy didn't continue talking. He knew very well that if he didn't answer at this time, he would get the most benefits for himself. He invited everyone to go to dinner, but when they left, the Chinese Ambassador and Changrong walked a little slower. They both

We are talking about something, I don’t know what it is specifically. Although Musharraf really wants to know what it is, it is obvious that they will not let you know.

Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka, is still a beautiful country to outsiders. Li Cong's plane has just landed. This place is absolutely closed. If any reporters see it, they will definitely be shocked, because the person who came to greet Li Cong is actually

There are thousands of soldiers, and their actions are not those of the newly recruited soldiers from the military. In fact, this huge island has long been the energy group's number one military base in Asia. Except for the number of people, it cannot keep up with that of Myanmar.

The data are all higher than those in Myanmar.

Sri Lanka, the full name of Sri Lanka Democratic Socialist Republic, formerly known as Ceylon, is a tropical island country, shaped like a teardrop of the Indian Peninsula, embedded in the vast Indian Ocean. In ancient China, it was called the Lion Country, the Shizi Country, and Sinhala.

"Sri Lanka" means "promised land" or "bright and prosperous land" in Sinhala. It is known as the "Kingdom of Gemstones" and the "Pearl of the Indian Ocean". It is considered by Marco Polo to be the most beautiful island because it

There are stunningly beautiful seashores, mysterious ancient cities, rich natural heritage, and unique and unique history and culture. Sri Lanka's economy is mainly based on agriculture, and the country's most important export product is Ceylon black tea. The country also

It is one of the three largest tea-producing countries in the world, so the domestic economy is deeply affected by the tea production situation.

Sri Lanka has a tropical monsoon climate. The average maximum temperature in the coastal areas is 31.3℃, and the average minimum temperature is 23.8℃. The average maximum temperature in the mountainous areas is 26.1℃, and the average minimum temperature is 16.5℃. There are no four seasons, only the rainy season and the dry season. The rainy season is every year.

From May to August and from November to February of the following year, that is, when the southwest monsoon and northeast monsoon pass through Sri Lanka. The annual rainfall is 2540 mm to 5080 mm in the southwest and less than 1250 mm in the northwest and southeast. Li Cong

It was such a hot and humid climate when we got off the plane. After getting used to living in a dry environment, it was a bit uncomfortable to come here.

2,500 years ago, Aryans from North India immigrated to Ceylon and established the Sinhala dynasty. In 247 BC, King Ashoka of the Mauryan Dynasty in India sent his son to the island to promote Buddhism and was welcomed by the local king. From then on, monks

The Kalas abandoned Brahmanism and converted to Buddhism. Around the 2nd century BC, the Tamils ​​from South India also began to migrate and settle on the island of Ceylon. From the 5th century AD to the 16th century, the Sinhala Kingdom and the Tamil Kingdom on the island

There were constant wars between the two countries. It was ruled by Portugal (1505-1658) and the Netherlands (1658-1796) from the 16th century. It became a British colony at the end of the 18th century and became a naval base for the Allied forces to fight against the Japanese invasion in South Asia during World War II. At that time, Tin

The Governor-General of Ceylon and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces was Hao Dejie, who was known for his ability to mediate racial relations (he was appointed Governor-General of Ceylon on May 24, 2016). British Colonel John Davis and five Chinese military officers secretly landed on the Malay Peninsula from Sri Lanka on a submarine.

, reestablished contact with the anti-Japanese guerrillas there, the Malay People's Anti-Japanese Army. It gained independence on February 4, 1948, named the country Ceylon, and became an autonomous territory of the British Commonwealth. On May 22, 1972, it was renamed the Republic of Sri Lanka. "Sri Lanka

"" is the ancient Sinhala name of the island of Ceylon, which means bright and fertile land. On August 16, 1978, the name of the country was changed to the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, and it is still a member of the Commonwealth. In May 2009, Sri Lanka

ended nearly 30 years of civil war.

This is just the past history of Sri Lanka. Five years ago, two reinforced regiments of the Energy Group's African Corps arrived here with 15,000 people. In the two months since then, this place has basically become the territory of the Energy Group. No matter what it once was,

The government troops and the LTTE have all disappeared at this time. The energy group's troops can appear as the Sri Lanka National Defense Force, and the original National Defense Force has now been disbanded.

"President, I am glad to welcome you to Sri Lanka." No. 85, the person in charge of the Sri Lanka base gave Li Lai a standard salute.

"Well, you're doing a good job, but don't give me a face-saving project here. I want to see the actual work and start it immediately. I saw from the data that you can imitate and produce the US dollar F35 fighter jet. Can you give it to me?

Let me perform." Li Cong nodded. In terms of military appearance, this place is worthy of his annual expenditure of more than 10 billion US dollars, but it must also see the highest achievements.

The F35 stealth fighter is a single-seat, single-engine multi-purpose fighter designed and produced by Lockheed Martin of the United States. It is the new fighter concept of the U.S. military's "universal low-cost light fighter" and "joint advanced attack technology" in Lockheed

? It is embodied in the X35 developed by Martin Company and named F35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF). In addition to the United States, there are 8 countries in the world participating in the cooperation, with a development cost of 200 billion U.S. dollars, so the F35 is known as the "World Fighter"

It is said that the F35 can undertake various tasks such as close air support, target bombing, and air defense interception.

This is the most powerful aircraft of the Americans, but within the energy group, this is just a standard to measure a construction base. These technologies are very common in front of the energy group, so Li Cong proposed such an assessment.

Conditions, perhaps knowing what Li Conghui said, No. 85 immediately waved over several battery cars from the base and took them to the huge assembly workshop.

The aircraft skin of the F35 is covered with a new layer of material, which is the "3m" material jointly developed by Lockheed Martin and 3M. This new "coating" is different from the paint used on conventional aircraft.

There is a big difference. Strictly speaking, this is not a "coating", but a thin layer made of polymeric materials. This material can be directly pasted and covered on the méng leather without the need for spray painting, and it is also

It can reduce the weight added by painting the aircraft. These are American technologies, but the energy group has obviously changed the coating on the surface of the aircraft. Their concealment capability must be at least ten times greater than that of the American F35. If

If the American's F35 reflection point is a small bird, then the Energy Group's ny35 is a small point on the bird's body.

"President, it takes 125 people 80 hours of work for the Americans to assemble such an aircraft at full capacity, but we use fully mechanized and fully automated assembly here. We only need 15 skilled technicians and two engineers to work 25 hours."

One can come out, please take a look??" At this time, Li Cong saw that the huge wings were directly installed, and the internal electronic components were already assembled. If Li Cong was a person who paid attention to appearance, he would probably look at it now.

, but Li Cong immediately asked people to stop. He didn't want these people to perform what they were good at. I don't know when the Energy Group also started these superficial skills.

"Stop your performance. I want you to assemble it for me from scratch. I will give you two hours. If you can complete it within 20 hours, I can reward each person with 1 million yuan and the engineer 2 million yuan."

Watching here is just a cutscene, but that's not the case here at all. Li Cong wants to take a good look at it, and he must see it for himself, and Li Cong thinks that the answer sheet they have given now is

Not satisfying myself.

Li Er on the side glanced at his father. Would something happen if he changed the production process without authorization? But seeing that the engineers were working hard, there must be room for improvement. It seemed that his father was so resolute in doing things.

Have you heard some rumors and want to punish them? No. 85 on the side is even more panicked. It's not that he doesn't work hard, but he has been with these people for a long time, and he is embarrassed to urge them. From this point of view,

It will be better for you to be more diligent in the future.

"Son, I asked you to come back just to show you. I will hand over the military headquarters to you in the future. I will give you three years. How many bases like this can you give me? Money, I don't care about anything.

I can give it to you. What answer can you give me?" Li Cong and Li Er and his son went to a lounge. Staring here for 20 hours is not a joke. The father and son took a rest.
Chapter completed!
