Rising America
Chapter 1520: Wish we are rich
After talking about serious matters, it becomes small chat. After all, everyone needs to use this small chat opportunity to get to know each other.
Therefore, the following atmosphere is quite relaxed.
Astormoran talked about the military situation of the South Vietnamese side, and mentioned that after fighting with the North Vietnamese army, he personally felt very worried about the strength of the soldiers' fighting belief in the North Vietnamese army.
Old George and Kim Hyun Tae were very quiet, listening to Astor Moran telling them all.
"North Vietnamese soldiers can lie down for a night without moving at all. This is something we American soldiers can't do. Even they are very brave in combat, and they are very brave and not afraid of death. Even if they run out of ammunition and food, they will stick to their positions. Will not waver at all.
On the other hand, our American soldiers are different. Once we encounter problems such as lack of ammunition or even insufficient food supplies, the military will be shaken, and even the soldiers will have the idea of retreat.
Therefore, when we are fighting with the North Vietnamese army, our soldiers are often unable to go deep into the opponent's area to fight, and we must consider the issue of supplies. This has caused us a lot of trouble in the morning.
But the North Vietnamese army does not have to consider this issue at all. They only need to carry a small amount of food, even some crude food, to enter our military control area to fight, and can maintain combat effectiveness under such difficult conditions. , It is hard to imagine.
Therefore, our military operations in South Vietnam are often frustrated, so that when facing the North Vietnamese army, which is far inferior in equipment, it is at a disadvantage of passive defense. Personally, I am very helpless. "
The American soldiers in different time and space are also "old soldiers." They must guarantee three meals a day in war. There is a standard of meat and coffee. However, a hungry meal will definitely have a lot of impact on morale. This is no one.
Of course, it is not difficult to understand according to the thinking of soldiers.
Uncle, I'm fighting my life, and it makes me hungry, so I won't fight, uncle!
Therefore, the US troops stationed in South Vietnam at different time and space must do everything possible to ensure that such things do not happen to the'uncles'.
The North Vietnamese Army seems to have seen this, and will always attack the US military's supply lines.
Although most of the time the U.S. military uses helicopters to transport supplies and supplies, the North Vietnamese Army seems to have acquired new weapons from a certain country in the most recent period and can easily attack U.S. helicopters.
As a result, the US military’s air transportation supply line suffered heavy losses, causing the front-line supplies to fall into a very tense state, and the ‘uncle’ soldiers who worked **** the front line began to be a bit war-weary.
It is precisely because of this problem that Astormoran returned to China, hoping that Congress can increase the supplies of the US military in Vietnam, especially helicopters, and at the same time increase the capacity to transport as much as possible. Equipped to South Vietnam.
At the same time, the high-intensity combat with North Vietnam also made the US soldiers need to rest. Therefore, finding a holiday place for those soldiers to relieve their emotions was also one of the reasons why Astmoreland returned to China.
Although there is a temporary U.S. military post in Thailand, Thailand has not promised the U.S. to open up a place specifically for U.S. troops.
Therefore, Astor Moran hopes that the United States can put pressure on Thailand to open up such a place specifically to allow some American soldiers to retreat from the front line and go to this place to train for a while in order to restore combat effectiveness.
Otherwise, keeping the soldiers on the front line in a state of high pressure and tension will surely end up with a series of big problems.
Moreover, General Astmoran also mentioned that the North Vietnamese troops can enter and exit Laos and Burma at will, and then avoid the US troops on the North-South Vietnam border, which has brought great troubles and loopholes to the US defense.
Therefore, he hopes that the Congress can do something to urge Laos and Burma not to allow North Vietnamese troops to enter and exit at will on their borders.
General Astmoreland mentioned these things, the expression on his face called a depression.
It can be seen that these things really make him feel bad.
However, Kim Hyun Tae was not at all surprised by what happened to the US military in Vietnam, because in another time and space in history, the US military also encountered such troubles.
Moreover, in the bottom of his heart, Kim Hyun-tae had more or less gloating mentality, but he didn't show it.
That's right, it's good to keep this kind of thing secret in my heart. If he shows it all out, then he will be a brain disabled.
After listening to General Astor Moran, he spit out these questions in a small chat. Old George also responded with embarrassment: "Laos and Myanmar definitely cannot agree, because they are standing with China, and China It supports the North Vietnamese regime. Even as you mentioned earlier, the North Vietnamese army has received weapon support from a certain country. I’m sure it’s China that supports North Vietnam’s combat helicopter weapons and equipment, and they are doing this very secretly. We can't grasp their grip."
Kim Hyun-tae continued to steal joy from the bottom of his heart, but he put on a serious expression on his face, as if he was serious about this matter.
General Astmoreland heard what George said, and responded with a stinky expression: "I don't understand international politics. I'm just a soldier. I'm just talking about this from a military perspective, so Mr. George, you It must be understood that the current situation of our US troops in Vietnam is very passive and will not work for a long time."
Jin Xiantai intervened at this time: "Assemble several powerful South Vietnamese troops and let them be responsible for the defense of the border with Myanmar. I think this can slightly relieve the pressure in this regard."
Astor Moran nodded: "This can effectively alleviate this problem, so I mentioned the idea of forming a South Vietnamese army earlier."
Old George turned his head to look at Jin Xiantai and asked, "What do you think of this matter?"
Jin Xiantai smiled secretly in his heart [As far as the urinary nature of the South Vietnamese army is concerned, it is simply impossible to pay. No matter how much the US army invests, it is useless. It has been verified in another time and space. What are the exceptions. 】
However, Jin Xiantai responded to the old George: "I think this can be done, and we can also support the South Vietnamese army through training and find suitable candidates to control the power of South Vietnam instead of letting the current South Vietnamese power people. We are acting nonsense."
This suggestion echoes the interests of the United States. Old George thought about it for a moment, and then thought of this.
And when Kim Hyun-tae said so, of course he didn't really think so.
Kim Hyun-tae wants to be an ‘ancestor’ in South Vietnam. This way, it will be easier.
Think about it, the Americans trained the army and selected a puppet from it to support him in the power of South Vietnam. How would such a person treat Jin Xiantai in the future?
This is self-evident.
"The economic situation in South Vietnam is very poor now, and most of the young and middle-aged people are unemployed, so the recruitment will be very smooth." Astor Moran revealed the economic situation in South Vietnam.
Kim Hyun-tae smiled: "We will not build the South Vietnamese army in accordance with the size and system of the U.S. military. This will definitely attract people to join the army, and after our training, these people will be firmly imprinted with our American mark. The combat effectiveness will also be guaranteed, and when necessary, it will be able to bear part of the pressure of the US military."
"What's the scale?" Old George glanced across the faces of Astor Moran and Kim Hyun Tae.
Astor Moran pondered for a moment: "My initial plan was to train 300,000 troops. After seeing the effect, it will gradually expand."
Old George didn't say anything, his eyes shifted to Kim Hyun Tae's side, obviously he needs to listen to Kim Hyun Tae's opinion again.
Huh!
Three hundred thousand people, that's a lot.
If you really recruit 300,000 people to train into an army, and according to the US military system, the monthly cost of these 300,000 people is not low.
However, in Kim Hyun Tae's view, these are not difficult things to solve.
"The initial 300,000 troops are enough. The people from the three security consulting companies have already set off. The total size is 150,000 and three troops. It is still possible to appoint some officers to control the 300,000 troops. And I will ask the South Vietnamese government to come forward and use it to maintain the 300,000 troops."
Kim Hyun Tae's words completely dispelled the little worries that Old George had in his heart.
After all, Astor Moran was just a soldier. He was not like Jin Xiantai. When he thought of how to solve the problem of 300,000 military expenditures, Jin Xiantai thought of it and told the old George directly that he could solve it.
And Kim Hyun-tae also clearly stated that he would let the officers of the security consulting company serve as officers in the South Vietnamese army that is about to be recruited, which is equivalent to completely controlling the future South Vietnamese army.
In this regard, the old George did not say anything.
Because of this, it is easier to guarantee the interests in South Vietnam, and it also prevents those South Vietnamese people from resisting the US military. There is no reason for old George to oppose Jin Xiantai's doing this.
Of course, there will be criticisms, but what does it matter?
When the time comes, Jin Xiantai wants to grab the mineral resources of someone else. He has an army in his hand. Who dares to resist the high officials in the South!
Old George can basically think of the ultimate goal of Kim Hyun Tae.
Astormoran also thought for a long time before trying to understand this question.
Compared with General Astor Moran, Kim Hyun Tae also has an advantage in doing this.
In name, Ast Moran is the Supreme Commander of the US Army in Vietnam~lightnovelpub.net~ but his power is not enough for him to implement such a plan.
But Kim Hyun-tae is different. Although he is also an official U.S. military officer, he is commanding mercenaries outside the U.S. military system, and there are as many as 150,000 mercenaries. They are either werewolves or vampires, or else. Mutants.
These 150,000 mercenaries are Jin Xiantai's advantage and confidence.
And because it is a military force outside the U.S. military system, Kim Hyun-tae does not have to worry about too many rules and play some tricks.
This is something General Astmoreland cannot do.
"I wish us success in making a fortune!"
Kim Hyun Tae raised his glass.
"Make a fortune together!"
"Make a fortune!"
Old George and Astmoreland also raised their glasses.
