"Your Excellency, Army Commander, this is the action plan you asked our staff to make. According to your request, we used supercomputers to conduct detailed deductions. There are three main plans for different situations."
Zhou Qingfeng got inspiration from his own woman and immediately asked people from the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Defense to formulate an action plan. Jackson, the chief of staff of the Corps, led a group of people to make a preliminary plan for him overnight and sent it to him the next day.
"Please give me an overview." Zhou Qingfeng waited leisurely.
Chief of Staff Jackson and his entourage set up a projector and explained his planned plan to Zhou Qingfeng. He pointed at the map on the screen with a laser pointer and said: "First we need to collect detailed intelligence and send an advance team to the African National Alliance.
It is necessary to establish outposts on the territory.
An advance team of about ten people can take a small plane and arrive at the destination within two or three days. Intelligence collection will take about a week. During this period, we can organize an armed battalion of at least 300 people, carry light weapons and set off on a passenger ship. After arriving, we will move the outpost
The station was expanded into a stronghold.
If everything goes well, we will need a labor force of about two thousand to five thousand people to carry a large amount of work supplies. This will require about five large passenger and cargo ships, and the sea journey will take a month.
These people and materials will be used for healthy development in Africa until the stronghold is built into a self-sufficient small city to provide support for subsequent large-scale personnel transportation. We estimate that if everything goes well, the entire operation will take one year.
I need to remind you that the entire maritime transport process requires a strong enough maritime escort. Our newly formed Navy Department has submitted a second-stage shipbuilding plan and hopes to get approval."
Chief of Staff Jackson timely included his own personal information in the introduction. It seemed that he was inclined to expand the size of the legion's navy. Zhou Qingfeng had seen the so-called 'Navy Second Phase Shipbuilding Plan' and couldn't help but smile: "Thank you for your explanation.
I will give your plan serious consideration."
With the current resources of the legion, the army and navy are scrambling for military expenditures.
Chief of Staff Jackson was born in the navy, so he naturally wanted to build a large fleet. However, the so-called "fleet" was just a self-imposed favor. The navy under Zhou Qingfeng was actually just a Coast Guard patrol boat with modified equipment.
However, the current threats to the legion all come from the sea, and the trade routes that are a matter of life and death are all related to the sea. Strengthening the naval power is a top priority. You must know that there are too many people who are desperate, and there are countless bandits on the sea, and they are killing them endlessly.
The Legion Chief of Staff's plan was well done, but the time estimate exceeded Zhou Qingfeng's expectations. After all, he didn't know that his Legion Commander had the ability to transport supplies by air from another time.
After Zhou Qingfeng made some calculations on his own, he found that if he personally led the team, he could shorten the entire plan to three to five months. This was a great time advantage.
The only trouble is probably coming from the escort fleet, which is the "Navy Second Phase Shipbuilding Plan". In the early days, the Aurora Corps built several steam gunboats. These warships were temporarily used for emergency purposes and were converted into transport ships after completing their missions.
.
The ships used by the navy in the first phase are patrol boats, equipped with large-caliber machine guns and cannons, responsible for patrolling the coast and trade routes. These 100-ton small boats basically meet the needs.
As the legion's strength strengthens, the Navy needs to extend its tentacles further afield. Although Zhou Qingfeng owns the USS Kennedy, a unique aircraft carrier among various forces, that aircraft carrier has been in Guantánamo since it performed a mission.
The base is lying down and cannot move for the time being.
The Navy hopes to establish a specialized coast guard team, get rid of the 100-ton patrol boats, and free its precious manpower from guard patrol tasks. They also hope to have large 500-ton class escort boats. Ships of this level
The ship is just right for the current strength of the legion.
But Zhou Qingfeng only has about a dozen ships of this level in his hands, mainly looking for them from the legacy ships of the U.S. Coast Guard and the navies of various Caribbean countries. Such a small number cannot guarantee the control of the ocean, and even a shift change is difficult.
We can't do that, let alone go to Africa to escort them.
The Navy wants to add at least fifty artillery escort boats in the second shipbuilding plan. To be honest, this is a lot of money, and Zhou Qingfeng really can't come up with it for a while. But the urgent need cannot wait, he can do it
The only thing is to return to the real world and ask Xiao Jinlang for help.
The sky is high and the sea is vast….
"Old Xiao, I've got a delivery for you!" Zhou Qingfeng called his old partner while he was still on the large cargo ship at sea. Not long after, a PLA Navy frigate hurriedly appeared next to his cargo ship, and two
A Navy helicopter hovered above him.
"Uh..., Lao Xiao, please let the comrades from the navy board the ship. This cargo ship currently has no crew." Zhou Qingfeng was very embarrassed. Every time he transported, he had to go to the high seas and often put foreign crew members halfway.
Send away.
The people in the Navy didn't talk nonsense. Dozens of officers and sailors were transported by helicopter. They drove Zhou Qingfeng's freighter and ran towards the military port near Shanghai. Halfway through, Xiao Jinlang also hurriedly arrived in a helicopter.
"Boy, what did you bring this time?" Xiao Jinlang looked at the tens of thousands of tons of container ships, as happy as an old monkey.
"Don't you want helicopters? I've shipped you another batch of 'Black Hawk' series helicopters. They are guaranteed to be very useful." Zhou Qingfeng has a lot of second-hand Black Hawks. He purchased them from other forces through barter.
I exchanged a lot of them.
"how many?"
"There is a regiment of Black Hawks, about fifty, which is what I promised you before. In addition, I also got half a regiment of heavy-duty helicopters for you."
"Heavy duty?"
The 'Black Hawk' is a medium-sized general-purpose helicopter with a wide range of applications. The army needs some special-purpose heavy-duty helicopters, which are also indispensable. For example, to hoist light artillery for mountain troops and carry ammunition and gun crew, this requires ten
Load capacity of about tons.
CH-47F, the latest modification of the Chinook helicopter. Its biggest appearance feature is the two sets of front and rear rotors, which is also the source of its powerful carrying capacity. Its high-temperature and high-altitude flight capabilities are also quite outstanding, especially suitable for PLA
use.
Compared with the previous model, the CH-47F has a larger horsepower engine, a more advanced digital cockpit, and more convenient maintenance. Its excellent flight performance makes the US Army very satisfied with it.
And now seeing that Zhou Qingfeng unexpectedly bought more than 20 of the latest model Chinooks, Xiao Jinlang was stunned and didn't know what to do? This is the current main equipment of the US military!
It was easy to hide the Black Hawk before, after all, the Zhi-20 with a similar appearance was copied in China. But there are no domestic copies of the CH-47 series. Except for the Boeing company that came to China to promote it a long time ago, the only ones were made from monkeys during the Vietnam War.
I got one here and did some surveying.
But is this kind of helicopter good? Of course it is! Does the PLA Army want it? Of course it does!
But how to hide it?
Is it possible for the military newspaper to launch another satellite to inform the world that we have copied another American helicopter on the old CH-47A?
It seems that the hat of "the biggest cent in the world" will be worn on the PLA's head for a long time.
