After showing off the large number of weapons and equipment he had obtained, Zhou Qingfeng naturally no longer wanted to accompany Herbert and Suzano to play. He asked his subordinates to arrange accommodation for the two 'guests', and then left. But Herbert
Neither Te nor Suzano wanted to leave, they wanted to continue to visit the military camp.
After getting permission, Suzano hurriedly ran to the tank array, picked a tank at random, climbed up the turret, opened the hatch and got in. Herbert also trotted over and asked urgently outside the turret.
Said: "How is the condition of these tanks?"
Only good equipment can exert full combat effectiveness. These old tanks feel as if they have been stored in a warehouse for decades, which makes people question their condition. Without good maintenance, they are just scrap metal.
There was no movement in the turret for a long time. Unable to wait, Herbert simply climbed onto another Type 59 tank, opened the hatch cover and got in.
The turret of the Type 59 tank looks extremely simple, without any modern equipment. It only has the simplest fire control computer and laser rangefinder, which makes people feel that the word "modern" does not match it.
The old-fashioned 100mm rifled gun has seriously insufficient firepower. It cannot penetrate the front of a modern tank at all, and it may not even be able to penetrate the side. The radio station is very old, and the information equipment is zero. This kind of tank has indeed lagged behind for a long time.
It's time.
But Herbert found that the interior of this old-fashioned tank was very well maintained. Some parts were old and peeling, but it did not affect the operation. He could open the gun bolt with a little force, and looking out from the barrel, the rifling was still very clear.
Smooth, no rust at all.
This kind of tank is indeed a steel coffin used to fight the heavily armored troops of the Enclave and the Brotherhood of Steel, but if it is used in Mexico...
Herbert shook his head slightly... The second offensive and defensive battle of Merida had already proved that the combat effectiveness of Diego's regime's army was very poor, and they were just serving food to others.
Climbing out of the turret, Herbert saw that Suzano had run several tanks in succession. The latter even ran a long distance to randomly check the status of these tanks. And the maintenance status of these tanks obtained by Zhou Qingfeng
It's so good, it's simply unexpected.
After making sure that all the tanks could go to the battlefield at any time, Suzano's mood suddenly hit the bottom. When he saw Herbert again, he asked weakly: "Can the Brotherhood send troops to Mexico?"
"Impossible." Herbert flatly refused. Anyone who jumps into this big mud pit in Mexico will get into trouble.
"So is it possible for the Enclave to directly send troops?" Suzano asked with the last glimmer of hope.
"I personally think that this possibility is not very likely." Herbert felt that if he were a senior member of the new Enclave government, he would not fight for Mexico if he had lost his mind - a lesson learned from the last time he was bombed by the Aurora Legion with a nuclear bomb.
Isn't it enough? Do you have to endure it a second time to feel better?
"Then you can always do something, right?" Suzano asked bitterly, shaking his hands.
"Maybe..., it's economic sanctions." This is the only thing Herbert can be sure of. "The Brotherhood and the Enclave can impose economic sanctions and at the same time provide some assistance to the resistance forces in Mexico. Don't think about other things.
It’s up to you.”
"Economic sanctions?" Suzano felt that this was useless. The Aurora Legion was not afraid of this. But he was unwilling to give in and could only sigh continuously.
After walking out of the tank formation and looking back, Herbert sighed: "With at least three more motorized infantry divisions, the power of the Aurora Legion will expand like a balloon."
Suzano denied even more frustratedly: "There are more than three motorized infantry divisions. I also lost the equipment of six full divisions to the Aurora Legion before. Those equipment were sent by the Enclave, and the tanks were M60A3 with better performance. Even if
Compressing the establishment can also create one or two more divisions."
This situation made Herbert even more depressed. He looked at Suzano like a pig teammate.
After looking at the tanks, the two were not willing to leave. They ran to look at the artillery, which was also a group of artillery with old performance but a huge number. Such many artillery were really useful on a low-intensity battlefield like Mexico. Because there was no such thing here.
Too advanced weapons are needed.
In fact, after losing all kinds of information equipment, the technology of war all over the world has degraded.
What the Aurora Corps currently lacks is armored vehicles. Because the Rabbit family has never paid much attention to infantry fighting vehicles in the past, the number of the first-generation Type 63 armored vehicles was small, and not many were retired. They are still the main equipment of the army.
However, the lack of armored vehicles is not a big deal. Anyway, the current Aurora Legion’s army does not need to fight against too strong opponents. It is definitely enough to bully Mexico’s Zhan Wusheng.
Herbert and Suzano finished visiting the area where the equipment was stored, and then broke into the training area near the military camp. Here Suzano was so shocked that he almost jumped up. He saw more than two hundred Type 59 tanks.
Being used for training.
Damn, there are two hundred more cars here!
The training subjects are still very basic and are divided into two groups: dynamic and static. The dynamic ones are about driving, and the static ones are about maintenance. Tankers from the 1st Guards Regiment teach a group of new recruits how to drive a tank step by step.
Herbert watched for a long time. He did not first evaluate the learning status of these trainees, but said quietly, "These new tank crews are all Chinese."
That's right, all the newbies at the scene have Asian faces, compatriots brought back from Africa by Zhou Qingfeng. Most of these people were originally engaged in armed farming and received basic military training. Now some of the more educated ones have been selected as
Tank crew.
At this time, a great advantage of the Chinese people emerged. There were enough people in the ethnic group who had received high school or even college education, and Zhou Qingfeng could easily control a large number of qualified soldiers.
This cannot be done in other ethnic groups. Even among white people, there are many uneducated people. However, compulsory education makes it difficult for Chinese people to become idiots.
Any Chinese can learn to drive, learn to fire, learn maintenance, learn tactics, and learn cooperation. And more Chinese are learning communications, logistics, air defense, rescue, camouflage, and everything that can be used on the battlefield.
Fighting skills.
A fully militarized group is taking shape.
Suzano felt a chill in his heart. As a gang leader, a former minister of defense, and a big shot who could overlook 99% of ordinary people in the world, he felt that he had seen an incredible scene.
Do you know why the six divisions that attacked Merida only had more than a hundred tanks? Because the Diego regime encountered a lot of troubles in the process of forming troops. In the process of training qualified tank crews, it was found that the quality of the troops was poor!
But what does this mean now? Not only did the Aurora Legion produce hundreds of tanks in a few days, but they also pulled out tank crews who could form a complete armored division. Although these people have just begun to learn how to fight, this number alone
That's amazing enough.
Suzano couldn't help but ask Herbert: "Did you encounter the problem of poor quality of soldiers when you formed the army?"
Herbert curled his lips and said, "Fortunately, our population base is large and our basic education is not bad. We can always gather enough qualified soldiers."
But Herbert then sighed, "But our trouble is on the other hand. It's bad enough to have five leaders with equal status internally. And qualified soldiers in the army are often composed of complex people. They are broken up and formed
Troops will affect combat effectiveness, and not breaking up will affect combat effectiveness even more."
Excellent soldiers with a single ethnicity, unified culture, and similar personalities like the Han people cannot be found casually. The recruits participating in the training in the military camp are obviously not only Chinese, but they are definitely the backbone and trump card in Zhou Qingfeng's hands.
Thinking that they had to face such a well-trained opponent, both Suzano and Herbert felt a lot of pressure.
