The war is about to begin, and China and even the Philippines are preparing for war, and the two sides are in a state of conflict.
In the headquarters of Yaoyao Island, senior leaders of the Chinese clan such as Ximen Lang, Feng Buji, and Fatty Han gathered together. There were also three distinguished guests, namely Wu Mingxu, General Secretary of the People's Republic of YN, Duan Muping, Minister of Defense, and Feng Shaofeng, former Minister of Defense of the YN government.
They meet everywhere in life. Feng Shaofeng and Wu Mingxu were originally enemies. However, both of them were inextricably linked to Ximen Lang, the great hero of the generation. Therefore, after meeting again, they were both a little surprised. They randomly shook hands and smiled.
Grudges.
Ximenlang felt very happy when he saw this scene. The reason why he called these people over was to help him fight against the Filipinos and hit them hard.
When the original YN government existed, on the surface it was peaceful with the Philippines, but secretly they were wary of each other, and both had ambitions in the Nanhai area. Therefore, they both sent a large number of agents to lurk in the other country to collect all kinds of intelligence.
Although the original YN regime collapsed, more than a hundred intelligence agents hidden in the Philippines are still there, still obeying the orders of former Defense Minister Feng Shaofeng. Now this anarchic organization has attached itself to Huamen, and Ximen Lang provides them with funds and grants.
Five times their original benefits made these outstanding agents serve him willingly.
Ximen Lang turned around and asked: "Uncle Feng, could you please introduce to everyone the military strength of the Philippines?"
Feng Shaofeng nodded and said: "According to the information obtained, the total strength of the Philippine navy, army and air force is maintained at about 110,000, of which the army has 70,000, including five regional headquarters and eight light infantry divisions.
, a reconnaissance regiment, a special forces group, three engineering brigades, a light armored brigade, a construction battalion, and a special operations brigade."
Ximenlang asked with great interest: "What about the army's equipment?"
Feng Shaofeng continued: "The Army is equipped with 41 Scorpion light tanks, 80 M-113 tracked armored personnel carriers, 81 V-150 armored vehicles, and 80 tracked armored infantry fighting vehicles.
vehicles, eight 155mm howitzers, 190 105mm guns, and more than 100 mortars of various types."
Ye Jianfan curled his lips, "It seems that the main equipment of the Philippine Army is light tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers and various artillery. It is rubbish equipment and is still stuck in the last century."
Feng Shaofeng nodded and said with a smile: "It's really rubbish. Its military strength is far inferior to the previous YN government. The most powerful armored weapon is the Scorpion light tank, which is a reconnaissance tank produced by Country Y in the 1960s.
, because of its slow speed and low power, it has
It is seriously outdated and has been eliminated by various countries. Currently, only the Philippine Army is equipped with this kind of tank. It is said that the Philippines conducted an army exercise half a year ago. On such an important occasion, there were actually five Scorpion tanks climbing the hill.
The engine stalled on the spot and could not be started."
Ximenlang asked with some confusion: "Why do they still equip the army with such backward weapons?"
Feng Shaofeng said: "The key point is that the Philippines has no money and is short of funds. The Philippines implements a presidential leadership system with separation of powers, but the political and economic power is actually controlled by a few families. These families have a monopoly on domestic oil.
High-profit industries such as telecommunications have made huge profits from them, but the government has continued to lose money and has experienced fiscal deficits year after year. The poor political system has led to chaotic management, and serious corruption and corruption have made the economy even worse."
Wu Mingxu said: "Moreover, the economic crisis that broke out in 1998 made the Philippines even worse. Successive years of coups and civil strife have led to continuous civil wars and a large cost of money. Their situation is really not good."
Ximenlang nodded, "I understand. That's why the Philippines is eager to occupy the Nanhai area and develop resources in exchange for huge wealth to resolve the domestic economic crisis. Damn it, such a rotten country is always thinking of invading others.
Well, you are simply seeking death!"
Feng Shaofeng said: "The equipment of the Philippine Air Force is also rubbish. There are more than 10,000 active troops, but there are only one fighter squadron, two counter-insurgency squadrons, three armed helicopter squadrons, five transport aircraft squadrons, and four training aircraft squadrons."
Wu Mingxu said: "Yes, the Philippine Air Force is very weak. Even its president and Air Force Chief of Staff admit that the existing equipment of the Philippine Air Force is not only insufficient to defend its airspace and territorial waters, but is not even enough to deal with bandits like the Asaye rebels.
."
Feng Shaofeng said with a smile: "The Philippine fighter squadron is only equipped with five F-5 fighters. This is an extremely old low-end fighter. It was designed in 1955. Due to its poor performance, it could not meet the minimum requirements of the M Army. It was put into production in 1962.
Later, it was specially used to assist small countries. The maximum speed of the aircraft is Mach 1.4.
It can only fly at subsonic speeds when carrying weapons. The weapons on board include two 20mm cannons, but the combat radius for ground attack is only 200 kilometers. It is reported that the five fighter jets they own have flown for more than 6,000 hours and should have been retired long ago.
Now, whether it can take off safely has become a question."
Ye Jianfan smiled and said: "This is even more rubbish among rubbish. The fighter squadron only has five old fighter jets, and there are still potential safety hazards. It is incomparable with the more than one hundred fighter jets of our Huamen."
Feng Shaofeng said: "In addition, two counter-insurgency squadrons are equipped with twenty OV-10 North American Mustang fighter aircraft. This twin-engine turboprop aircraft is also very old. The aircraft has four 7.62 mm machine guns and a speed of less than 400 kilometers per hour. If it is compared with
Regular troops fighting are undoubtedly slow targets."
Nie Yao smiled and said: "These twenty aircraft are also old antiques. Just one Su-33 fighter jet can shoot them down completely within five minutes."
Feng Shaofeng said: "Yes, they are all vulnerable antiques. Then there are one hundred and three armed helicopters, as well as several reconnaissance aircraft, liaison aircraft, and training aircraft. These helicopters can be used to deal with guerrillas, but they are not effective against guerrillas."
Modern armies with air defense capabilities basically pose no threat."
Ximenlang said: "So, the Philippine air force is not as strong as ours, what about their navy?"
Feng Shaofeng said: "It's not that bad. The Philippine naval fleet has one frigate, 63 patrol boats, nine amphibious ships, and 11 logistics support ships. The average service time of patrol boats has reached 36.4 years.
Only twenty-six of them can operate normally. Larger warships such as minesweeper frigates and transport ships have also been in service for 70 years.
About one-third of them cannot be used. There is also a patrol ship, the USS Rayona, which is the most powerful warship in the Philippines and has been sunk by us. As for that frigate, it is an American-made Cannon-class ship launched during World War II.
The super old ship is the longest-serving warship in the world. The artillery equipped on the ship is difficult to use in modern naval warfare, and the anti-submarine weapons on the ship are also outdated..."
