Chapter 1304 – America Will Definitely Win
“And he’s all retired and still so concerned about military matters.” Earl Wheeler, the new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, laughed.
Earl Wheeler served in the Southeast Asia Allied Command when he was young, so Field Marshal Mountbatten is also an old acquaintance, at this time to see Mountbatten’s son-in-law also joined in the discussion, “But to be honest, we really can’t be in the extraction of more troops, South Vietnam’s army for a short period of time is unbearable, so let the South Korean army to participate in the war is also good.”
The South Korean army is also the United States during the Korean War single-handedly trained, Earl Wheeler also knows Li Qiwei, at least Li Qiwei on the South Korean army’s combat power is still recognized.
So for the South Korean army to participate in the war, Earl Wheeler instinctively did not reject, because the U.S. army does have the problem of troop shortfalls, and once a soldier is killed in action, the pension problem is a headache.
Allen Wilson understands the crooked circle, issued pensions although also can not escape the tax that pass, but the rest of the part can fall into the hands of the families of soldiers killed in action. This process can not reach the space, and arms orders are completely different.
Arms is a profitable business, how profitable it is, “long nail” micro-missile and launcher system also uses a lot of modern commercial shelf parts, the cost of each missile is only about five thousand U.S. dollars, is one of the cheapest missiles in the world. By comparison, the U.S. Army’s shoulder-fired Javelin anti-tank missiles cost $70,000 per set, and shoulder-fired Stinger air-defense missiles cost $120,000 per set.”
This is the factory cost is not the military procurement selling price, the United States that 800 billion dollars of military spending is not much finished product, it makes sense. Really want to make money must be in the weapons, can not work on manpower, the U.S. Army’s harsh standard of death in action has been done to the limit, and there is no room to work on it.
“As long as the fighting strength of the Korean army is fine, and the troop gap is filled, I believe that the United States will be victorious.” Alan Wilson smiled, “Such a great victory will certainly stop the adventures of the Soviet bloc countries, and I believe that all the allied countries will have a great deal of confidence as a result.”
Earl Wheeler and Li Mei both nodded their heads, taking a favorable view of the well-spoken Englishman, it seemed that Mountbatten’s son-in-law, like him, was capable above coordination.
“At least the news from Seoul suggests that the Korean army is still very confident.” Earl Wheeler was relaxed; the Koreans were coming forward quite voluntarily, so let’s put it to good use.
“Yeah.” Allen Wilson agreed with a fake smile, when was one of the Tubing P5 not confident.
On the land forces Indians so confident also dare not claim to be the world’s first. The real holdouts are also Ukraine and South Korea, one claiming to be the world’s second military power and the other believing that the Army has no rivals in Eurasia.
Even the United States did not say that their own land forces in the world first, but also a big country to save face, South Korea claimed that Eurasia has no rivals, that is not the world’s first what?
This involves what is called an army power, false army power, typical of the Indian Army, more tanks than armored vehicles, armored vehicles than self-propelled artillery, this kind of army can only fight a wave of flow.
Because tanks are the guaranteed lower limit of the army equipment, for a very average country, equipped with a few hundred tanks can indeed enhance the combat power of a great deal.
But this kind of land forces to fight after the stockpile is finished, but it is only this kind of ability country’s land forces, often claim to be an army powerhouse.
This is to be considered an army powerhouse, this world can be too many army powerhouses, from Poland to Turkey, Syria, Pakistan, India, South Korea can be called an army powerhouse.
During the fifth Middle East war, the t72s in the hands of the Syrian army beat the living daylights out of the Israeli Merkava in center-gate to center-gate sniping, but the whole war was one-sided.
Granted, the Israeli Army in the 21st century has also accomplished a transformation from not being able to beat Hezbollah, to struggling to even deal with Hamas, but the fact that Israel was really quite capable during the Cold War is not denied by anyone.
Simply stacking tanks counts for what army power, the army’s strong combat power are laid through some details, although China, the United States and Russia have carried out some division to brigade operations, but a certain big country and the United States and Russia can be completely different, a certain big country’s serious combat power is based on the unit of the army, the division to brigade is just the discussion of the melon crowd, a certain big country is completely for the technology weapon decentralization, the higher level of the army-level combat units have been retained.
No as the United States of America’s security war and Russia’s battalion-level stormtrooper group transformation, a major country’s land force system can not be dismantled, once moved as the Cold War period of the Soviet Union’s Red Army, by no means a wave of flow of land forces can be compared.
At this time the India-Pakistan battlefield, two waves of stream of the army, is around the Chawinda began to carry out the collective center door sniping, the two sides of the initial contact, the Pakistani tank force ate a big loss.
Pakistan’s two brigades suffered an Indian ambush, the loss of ninety-seven tanks, including sixty-five m47/48, a division commander and a brigade commander was killed in action, six regimental officers were killed or captured. The price the Indians paid was only the loss of twelve tanks.
Initial success, India would like to continue to expand the results of the war, focusing on four hundred tanks of various types of attack to Chawinda, Pakistani tanks also poured out, Pakistan occupied the advantage of the American fighters, while the Indian Army has the advantage of scale, fighting until dark, out of contact, the battle site has become a tank graveyard, everywhere is destroyed British and American tanks.
Fighting to this point, India and Pakistan have suffered huge losses, just waiting for both sides of the United Kingdom is no strength to find an opportunity, the Foreign Secretary immediately expressed the need to mediate the India-Pakistan war, followed by the Soviet Union Foreign Minister Gromeko also expressed the same meaning, after discussions between the two countries, decided to start in Stockholm, capital of Sweden, a neutral location, the Indian-Pakistani war on mediation.
General Li Mei liked Allen Wilson’s insights on bombing, and because he was also retiring this year, he had the time to meet with Allen Wilson and ask about Field Marshal Mountbatten’s life in retirement, and after hearing that Britain and the Soviet Union were preparing to mediate the Indo-Pakistani war in Stockholm, he couldn’t help inquiring, “The British government seems to be very courteous to the Soviet Union.”
“General Li Mei!” Alan Wilson let out a bitter laugh and said with difficulty, “The Soviet Union is right here in Europe, and the feeling of facing the Soviet ground forces in Europe and talking about the Soviet ground forces here in Washington are completely different. It can be said that every European country is full of courtesy to the Soviet Union. Washington should understand this behavior.”
Even if you’re anti-Soviet you can’t show it, it’s very different from the 21st century, no idiot would think the Soviet Union is the same as Russia, they’re completely different, to say the most different thing, after fifty years Russia couldn’t beat the Soviet Union, at least the Soviet Union’s weapons were fresh from the factory, Russia was full of old stuff in its hands.
“Oh, understand, maintaining peace in Europe is important, and we have no intention of radicalizing the situation in Europe.” Li Mei nodded his head, and in his heart added especially now, Europe is really in trouble the United States is even more stretched.
Or the old rules, expressed Mountbatten’s thoughts on American friends, after maintaining the traditional friendship, and talked about the Vietnam War, Li Mei also said the news he got, “The South Korean government has positively corresponded to our needs, the scale of the troops with an open attitude. And it also sees this as an opportunity to gain experience in actual combat.”
“That’s wonderful, the entire free world is looking forward to a firm response from the United States to the expansion of radical forces, and while Europe is reluctant to talk much about it, I know that governments are concerned and are looking for the United States to show strong leadership.” Allen Wilson’s face was full of confidence in America’s military power.
This confidence is never a good thing; anyone with a little knowledge of history knows that the United States lost the war and the entire country was thrown into chaos in the 1970s. But this is as good a time as any, and in the twenty-first century the U.S., after performing a trapeze act from Afghanistan, quickly set fire to Ukraine, covering up its own disgraceful act.
Even if the ignition is successful, the United States is not ready to go down, the undefeated gold body has been broken, if the next can not take advantage of, the United States of America’s situation will be even more difficult to see.
Can not say that the United States after a few decades smart, can only say that now the United States to find a circle can not find the ignition of the place, are too dangerous, the European countries will not let the United States in Europe ignition. Point Iran, the Soviet Union from the center of the Eurasian continent cut off, point East Asia? Japan and South Korea are not strong enough, and a certain big country will not listen to the US.
I don’t know if Afghanistan counts as a successful ignition, but it seems to be the Soviet Union’s own initiative to jump in the composition of the majority of some. For the country at the top of the world, defeat will bring a series of consequences. Now the UK just has to wait for that consequence to occur, and cheer for the US in the process.
This kind of thing can’t be known to Monroe, and the things that can be known to her should be that Britain is trying to stop the Indo-Pakistani war from expanding, and saving a lot more ordinary people who are suffering from the war.
“You were like that when you were with Vivian’s?” The unclothed Monroe grunted as she felt the palms on her body, and wherever they passed was like an electric shock, so that even the questioning became intermittent.
“Of course it does, what else would it do?” Alan Wilson, who was straddling Monroe’s petite body, showed his honest side, “To say what’s different? That would be that I had so much better stamina back then than I do now. Vivian didn’t want to get out of my arms for a moment back then.”
“I see you have good stamina now as well.” Monroe gave the man a blank look and initiated the kiss, “I’ve seen a few of my friends lately and they’ve all asked me why I’ve gone to Europe for good.”
“And what did you say?” Alan Wilson pinched his cherry and said with a bad smile on his face, “Didn’t say that you got moisturized by love and now you don’t even want to go back to the United States?”
“I ran into a bad guy, of course I had to keep it a secret, couldn’t have my friend in the bad guy’s sights too.” Monroe turned on a dime and pushed the bad guy in her eyes, it was time to show this bad guy the ropes.
By the time the frosty-faced Cabinet Secretary returned to London, Karachi and New Delhi had responded positively, willing to accept British and Soviet mediation. The relevant negotiating delegations were in the process of being constituted.
