Zhuang Bo knocked on the table with his finger: "Put aside those who haven't come yet, let's talk about how many people there are on the American side now."
"There are 1,200 people stationed at the base, a fleet of aircraft and two destroyers; an aircraft carrier battle group is temporarily docked at the port. The detailed information of the aircraft carrier battle group is not yet known."
"So few?" Zhuang Bo was very surprised.
Lu Ming explained: "This base normally has a staff of 4,000 people, but after the insect plague broke out, the Americans recalled their overseas military personnel, leaving only more than 1,000 people... If Djibouti hadn't been of special strategic significance, this base would have been
Just like those US military bases on the peninsula, they were directly disbanded."
Zhuang Bo nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly turned around and said, "Cheng Fei, did you see anything about that aircraft carrier battle group?"
"It's nothing special, but I found that all the aircraft carriers were attack aircraft, and they were light attack aircraft. There were very few fighter jets, which is very telling." Wei Chengfei said.
"It's not surprising that the aliens don't need fighter jets for their little air power. Attack aircraft can handle it," Zhuang Bo said.
The only known aerial power of aliens is the aliens themselves, which cannot fly high or far. If ordinary fighter jets are used to deal with them, the effect is about the same as hitting mosquitoes with a cannon.
It is more economical and more affordable to use attack aircraft dedicated to dealing with ground targets to deal with aliens than using fighter jets. If helicopters had not had a short range and slow speed, perhaps there would have been a large row of armed helicopters on the aircraft carrier deck.
"What about overall strength?"
"It's the same standard aircraft carrier battle group as us, but they brought two submarines. I took a closer look, one is Virginia and the other is Columbia." Wei Chengfei said calmly.
Ye Han looked confused, but all the naval officers in the conference room changed their expressions and leaned forward unconsciously.
Zhuang Bo touched his chin: "What do Americans mean? Are they planning to use nuclear bombs to deal with aliens?"
Wei Chengfei curled his lips: "The Americans are so stingy. They even have a space fleet and they bring a nuclear submarine over." After saying this, his eyes suddenly fell on Ye Han.
Ye Han was puzzled, thinking, why are you looking at me?
Wei Chengfei continued: "The Americans have so many space battleships, is it okay to send two over? What's going on with a whole Colombian coming over?" After saying this, his eyes fell on Ye Han's face.
Ye Hanxin said, why are you looking at me?
Zhuang Bo pondered for a moment and said: "Maybe it's a cost issue. Colombia has been in service for almost ten years. The missiles inside should be updated if they are not intended to be fired abroad. Wouldn't it be more troublesome to just throw them into Africa? Okay, we will discuss this issue later when we hold an analysis meeting.
,Lu Ming, you continue."
Lu Ming nodded: "I have just talked about the situation of the American fleet. According to our speculation, the Americans have at least one battalion of marines. They will be one of the main forces in the African operation. Our people deal with this force.
The best possibility.”
"Let me interject, the American Marine Corps has long been equipped with power armor, unlike our Marine Corps, which is like a stepmother." Wei Chengfei glanced at Ye Han again.
"Look at what I'm doing, it has nothing to do with me!" Ye Han couldn't help but say.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then laughed together.
Wei Chengfei gritted his teeth and said, "I envy you for having power armor!"
"It's useless to be envious, we won't lend it out!"
"Rare!"
"It's coming again, it's coming again, can you two be more serious?" Zhuang Bo glared displeased.
The two men immediately stopped talking.
Lu Ming put away his smile and said: "The American fleet is the strongest, followed by the French. Even though the fleet sent by the French is not large, and the number of troops stationed is also smaller than that of the United States, this is a French vassal after all, and all locals belong to it.
The military strength can be regarded as part of France's strength. Regardless of its combat effectiveness and technical and tactical level, it is definitely the one with the greatest momentum."
Wei Chengfei chuckled: "The French army in the Napoleonic era was not bad, but the current French army..." At this point, he shook his head and made a victory gesture with his hand, "They are just second-rate goods."
From the perspective of the military, the French army's combat effectiveness can indeed only be considered second-rate, but after all, France is one of the five gangsters. Globally, only China, the United States, and Russia have the right to despise the Gallic soldiers.
And China is the only country that has defeated the United Nations forces. This impressive record has not been broken yet. Wei Chengfei definitely has a deep-seated historical reason for looking down on the Gauls.
"But the French have the strongest land combat force." Lu Ming said, "They have two thousand troops here, and a regiment equipped with power armor. Even the Americans can't compare."
Wei Chengfei smiled and said: "There are enough people, but I don't know if they want to contribute. If the Gauls deliberately try to seduce foreign workers, the Americans will have a headache for a while."
Zhuang Bo nodded secretly.
The Gauls and Americans have never been of the same mind. This matter is an open secret of the international community. Unless the vital interests of the Gauls are involved, the possibility of the Gauls working to the death for the Americans is infinitely close to zero.
Not only the Gauls, but also several other countries are no exception. The amount of efforts made is directly linked to the amount of gains. It is unclear how the post-war benefits will be distributed within the al-Qaeda group.
Zhuang Bo didn't care at all how much intrigue there was between the base groups. In short, when the task force came, Beidu had to have its share of the cake.
"Continue." Zhuang Bo signaled.
"As for the UK, they only sent an aircraft carrier battle group, and it was the simplest aircraft carrier battle group, with a direct-to-deck medium-sized aircraft carrier, a destroyer, a frigate, an amphibious assault ship and a supply ship. The land combat force was mainly SBS. The specific number is unknown.
."
"Is SBS also equipped with power armor?" Wei Chengfei asked.
Lu Ming nodded: "Our Marines are the only ones who haven't changed their uniforms."
The expressions of several people were sighing.
It's not that Beidu doesn't want to add equipment to the navy, but the strategic focus in recent years has been Beiyuezhou and the Northern Defense Line. Powered armor has formed an independent army, and outstanding soldiers from across the army have been selected to join the motorized infantry.
Select people from the Marine Corps.
The Navy has always hoped to equip power armor, but motorized infantry is the main force against the swarm and must be given priority to the army and space fleet, so the Navy's plan has never been implemented.
Fortunately, the northern defense line has stabilized, and the first batch of powered armor has arrived at the Marine Corps camp before the task force departs. However, the training of the troops does not happen overnight, and the task force's African operation is imminent, so it can only be seconded.
Assemble manpower.
The current domestic situation is very good. As long as the Navy reports, it will definitely be able to borrow people. However, considering the relationship between the Space Fleet and the Navy, the Navy finally decided to borrow people from the Space Fleet instead of going to the Army.
Ye Han hadn't heard anything about the story here. Anyway, he just carried out the orders given by his superiors.
