Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1105

“The second disarmament of the Soviet Union was also due to the frenzied expansion of its military power during World War II in order to resist German attacks. By the end of World War II in 1945, the size of the Soviet army was more than 11 million, making it the largest in the world… After World War II, the same In order to save military expenditure and develop the economy, by 1948, the Soviet army had only 2.8 million people left, and the number of disarmament exceeded 8 million…”

Xie Kai introduced the disarmament of the Soviet Union.

Not to mention Thailand, even in the country, many people have not paid attention to the Soviet Union’s unsurpassed large-scale disarmament.

The scale of abolishing more than 8 million people at a time, even the total population of many countries does not have this number.

“Even though the Cold War intensified and the number of Soviet troops continued to grow, their scale did not exceed 6 million even though the world’s largest, and after 85 years, the Soviet Union began to secretly disarm again, for no other reason, just because of the huge army. The high expenditure incurred is about to drag down their economy…”

Xie Kai said calmly.

The Soviet Union’s disarmament has always been carried out secretly.

By the time the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the huge army had been reduced to only 3.5 million.

More than two million were disarmed, but this disarmament did not save the Soviet economy.

“Your Majesty, under the current situation, even if the Soviet Union disarms more than 2 million troops and controls the size of its army below 3 million, will their military strength become weaker?” Xie Kai asked King Bhumibol.

The king didn’t know, he looked at General Bing.

“No!” General Bing shook his head sadly. “Even if the number of people is reduced, their combat capability will not decrease. Even if the number of personnel is reduced, the cost savings can replace more advanced heavy equipment and improve combat capability.”

Even if the Soviet Union has an army of only 2 million, not many people are bothered.

There are too many airplanes, tanks and cannons.

As a senior general who has been in the army for decades, General Bing still has this cognitive ability.

Xie Kai grinned, “Yes, that’s it. Now wars can no longer be won by the number of people. The Iran-Iraq War has completely proved this…”

The king understood what Xie Kai meant, “Reduce the number of troops, save money, and update equipment to gain a stronger national defense?”

Xie Kai nodded.

Everyone is sensible.

The People’s Liberation Army has been disarmed several times, and the number of people has been declining. In the end, the number of people is basically below 2 million, but the fighting capacity is even more powerful.

The United States, the world’s largest military power, has always maintained a military scale of around 1.5 million people. It has continued to develop with other countries in the world, fought Afghanistan and Iraq, and then exchanged fire with polar bears in Syria. The scale is also nowhere. expanding.

Is the combat capability not strong?

People rely on equipment to win.

The huge U.S. Army, the Army is equipped with 7,800 main battle tanks, 6,700 infantry fighting vehicles, 18,000 armored transport vehicles, nearly 1,500 armed helicopters, and more than 3,000 transport helicopters; and the Air Force’s fighter aircraft has reached 6,400. Among them, there are more than 3,200 combat aircraft; the Navy has 11 aircraft carriers, 95 submarines, 31 guided missile cruisers, 52 guided missile destroyers, and 49 guided missile frigates…

These huge and advanced equipment keep the United States firmly on the throne of the world’s number one military power.

Similarly, it consumes hundreds of billions of dollars each year.

It is precisely because of the frenzied expansion of US military expenditure that when Xie Kai left the original world, the United States became more and more incapable of controlling the world, and even the economy had been seriously affected.

I don’t know if it will eventually be dragged down by the huge military expenditure like the Soviet Union…

Especially when thinking about the compensatory development of Chinese warships like dumplings, the army is equipped with 99A tanks, and the Air Force’s J-10B can play the Cobra maneuver. I don’t know if the 003 aircraft carrier is nuclear-powered, and there is no steam ejection…(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

At that time, military spending was more than 100 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for only 1.3% of GDP. If it continues to develop, how many aircraft carriers should there be, and how many 052Ds should be equipped?

With the habit of the domestic military used to living a hard life, it is estimated that the 59 tanks will be used for decades…

Thinking about it, the saliva flowed down.

“Brother Kai, Brother Kai…” Mo Qi, who was sitting next to Xie Kai, saw Xie Kai distracted, and King Bhumibol yelled twice in a row. The guy didn’t respond, and he couldn’t help stabbing Xie Kai with his thin fingers .

“Ah, what’s the matter?” Xie Kai came back to his senses, seeing the king looking at him with a smile, General Bing was stunned and smiled awkwardly, “I’m very sorry, I was thinking just now, how can I give your country’s army? Construction provides a better solution.”

“Do you have it?” General Bing obviously didn’t believe it.

“Yes. As for the navy, there is an aircraft carrier fleet, and nothing else is needed. The escort fleet is established in advance, and the carrier will be slowly equipped with carrier-based fighters after the aircraft carrier returns. For the air force, your country is planning to purchase F- 16. As long as one or two squadrons are used as a sharp knife unit; the most important thing is the army. I think it is enough to build a combined brigade for rapid response… This unit is different from other units and is based on battalions…

When Xie Kai introduced it, it followed the model of the special operations brigade.

Whether it is combat capabilities, equipment configuration, and even response capabilities, they are all built in accordance with the development of future wars.

“A brigade not only has an armored team, but also has combat aircraft and helicopters?” Even King Bhumibol found it incredible.

In addition to paying attention to the domestic economic development, he often visits impoverished areas to help them develop agriculture, etc., in order to change the living conditions of his citizens.

For the military, I don’t know much about it.

“Right. Not only that, but also to build support firepower, such as missile battalions…” Anyway, Xie Kai didn’t plan to go back empty-handed this time.

According to the configuration of the special brigade, if such a unit does not pit him one billion dollars, Xie Kai has no ability.

Equipped with 359 tanks, equipped with ground red flag missiles, no, that is rocket launchers as tactical support, and even fighters are used to ensure air superiority in the air.

As long as there is such a force, Thailand only has a territory of 510,000 square kilometers, and there is no need for an army of 200,000.

“Such troops are costly, right?” King Bhumibol was a little worried.

“The cost is indeed higher, but the combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of ordinary troops. A brigade of this kind can even be more effective than an ordinary armored division!” Xie Kai did not brag about this.

In the special synthetic brigade, the units that cooperate with tanks are equipped with a large number of individual heavy firepower.

Xie Kai gave a detailed introduction to the composition of the entire army, and even introduced how the various arms are matched and what their respective responsibilities are.

Originally, this plan was made to sell equipment. China has a template, and the Iraqi army is building in this way. Even Xie Kai brags that the Iraqi army has formed combat effectiveness, otherwise it can’t stop Khomeini’s army from a more powerful offensive. So much.

“Your Majesty, time…”

The interior officer of King Bhumibol has reminded him of the time several times.

The original plan was only 30 minutes, but now it’s almost three hours.

Xie Kai can blow too much

Seeing that it was too late, the king had to give up even if he still had more questions to talk to Xie Kai.

At the end, His Majesty the King had planned to invite Xie Kai to have dinner at noon the next day, but Xie Kai said that he would return to China the next morning, and declined the king’s invitation.

“Your Majesty…” When General Bing was about to leave, the king who was urged to take a rest left him behind.

“What do you think?” the king asked General Bing.

This general he trusts most, his opinion is very important.

“Your Majesty, the Ministry of National Defense has discussed his plan before, and I think it is very good. According to this, the size of our army can be reduced to less than 100,000; replacing quantity with quality. This is also of great benefit to the country’s economic development. Yes.” General Bing said.

The purpose of bringing Xie Kai here is to hope the king can approve it.

“This requires a huge amount of funds. And it must be when this army has formed combat effectiveness before disarmament can begin…”

“Your Majesty, don’t worry. We can negotiate with them and use the same payment method as the aircraft carrier fleet. Even, we can cooperate with them and use resources for equipment. In this way, not going forward can drive the development of our country’s mining industry. It can also solve the problem of funding…” Having been prime minister for eight years, General Bing had naturally thought about these things.

Xie Kai’s previous plan tempted him, and what tempted him even more was the exchange of resources for equipment.

Although Thailand’s domestic electronics industry is developed, the machinery manufacturing industry is almost incomparable with China, and most of the equipment has to be imported.

“This plan is really good, and it has great benefits for both of us.” After hearing the plan, the king had to admire it as a good method, but he was also worried, “China has far more resources than us.”

China is a country with large resources.

In exchange for foreign exchange, even large amounts of various resources are exported.

“They are also big resource consuming countries.” General Bing said with a smile.

“You can really blow! I’m so nervous, I’m afraid of embarrassing you. It’s good for you to brag in front of the king.” On the way back, Mo Qi looked at Xie Kai and said intricately.

Xie Kai shook his head, “It’s not that I can blow, but they happen to have this idea.”

“How is it possible! You first let others disarm in order to buy equipment, it seems that you are thinking about others.” Mo Qi somewhat despised Xie Kai.

“General, are you kidding me?” What Xie Kai didn’t expect was that General Bing came back after returning to the hotel and had not rested yet.

Because this gangster brought news that there are still unmarried princesses in their country!
