Chapter 1575: Pressure

After showing off the large amount of weapons and equipment he had acquired, Zhou Qingfeng would naturally not continue to play with Herbert and Suzano any longer. He asked his subordinates to arrange accommodation for the two 'guests' and left by himself. But neither Herbert nor Suzano wanted to leave, they still wanted to continue to visit the barracks.

After getting permission, Suzano hurriedly ran to the front of 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, "How are these tanks doing?"

Only good equipment can exert full combat effectiveness. These old tanks feel as if they have been stored in warehouses for decades, which makes people doubt their condition. If not well maintained, they are scrap iron.

There was no movement in the turret for a long time, and Herbert, who couldn't wait, simply climbed onto another Type 59 tank, opened the hatch and got in.

The turret of the Type 59 tank is extremely crude, without any modern equipment, only the simplest fire control computer and laser rangefinder, which makes people feel that it has something to do with the word "modern".

The old-fashioned 100mm rifled guns were seriously insufficient in firepower, and they couldn't penetrate the front of modern tanks at all, and they might not even be able to penetrate the sides. The radio station is very old, and the information equipment is zero. This kind of tank is indeed behind the times.

However, Herbert found that the interior of this old tank was very well maintained. Some parts were old and painted, but it did not affect the operation. He was able to open the breech bolt with a little force, and looking out from the breech, the rifling was still very clear, smooth, without any rust.

This kind of tank is indeed a steel coffin for fighting the heavy troops of the Enclave and Brotherhood of Steel, but if it is used in Mexico... .

Herbert shook his head slightly... The second Merida offensive and defensive battle has already proved that the troops of the Diego regime are very poor in combat effectiveness, and they are completely serving the role of delivering food to people.

Climbing out of the turret, Herbert saw that Suzano had already run several tanks in a row. The latter even ran good distances to randomly check the status of these tanks. And these tanks that Zhou Qingfeng got were in such a good state of maintenance that it was unexpected.

After confirming that all the tanks could go to the battlefield at any time, Suzano's mood suddenly fell to the bottom. When he saw Herbert again, he asked weakly, "Can the Brotherhood send troops to Mexico?"

"Impossible." Herbert flatly refused. This big mud pit in Mexico, whoever jumps in will cause trouble.

"Then is it possible for the Enclave to send troops directly?" Suzano asked with the last glimmer of hope.

"Personally, I don't think this possibility is very high." Herbert felt that if he was a senior member of the Enclave's new government,

You won't fight for Mexico if your brain is pumped—isn't the lesson from being bombed by the Aurora Legion last time not enough? Would it be cool to suffer a second time?

"Then you can always do something?" Suzano asked bitterly with his hands shaking.

"Maybe... it's economic sanctions." The only thing Herbert can be sure of is this. "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, just On your own."

"Economic sanctions?" Suzano felt that this was useless, and the Aurora Legion was not afraid of it. But he was not reconciled, so he could only keep sighing.

After stepping out of the tank formation and looking back, Herbert sighed, "There are at least three more motorized infantry divisions, and the power of the Aurora Legion will inflate like a balloon."

And Suzano denied even more frustrated: "There are not only three motorized infantry divisions. I also lost the equipment of six full divisions to the Aurora Legion before. Those equipments were sent by the Enclave. The tanks are M60A3 with better performance. Even Compressing the establishment can also make up one or two more divisions."

This situation made Herbert even more depressed. He looked at Suzano like a pig teammate.

After watching the tank, the two were still unwilling to leave. They ran to look at the artillery again, the same outdated but huge number of artillery groups. So many artillery are really easy to use on the low-intensity battlefield of Mexico. Because there is no need for too advanced weapons here.

In fact, after losing all kinds of information equipment, the technology of fighting all over the world has degenerated.

What the Aurora Legion currently lacks is armored vehicles. Because the Rabbit family never paid much attention to infantry fighting vehicles in the past, the number of first-generation Type 63 armored vehicles was small, and not many were retired. They were still the main equipment of the army.

But not having an armored vehicle is not a big deal. Anyway, the Aurora Legion's army doesn't need to fight against too strong opponents. It is definitely enough to bully Mexico's war scum.

Herbert and Suzano finished browsing the equipment storage area, and broke into the training area near the barracks. Here Suzano was so startled that he jumped up. He saw more than two hundred Type 59 tanks being used for training.

Nima, there are two hundred more cars here!

The training subjects are still very elementary, divided into dynamic and static groups. Learn to drive dynamically and learn to maintain statically. The tank players of the first regiment of the Guards taught a group of recruits how to drive a tank with one belt and five hands.

Herbert watched from the sidelines for a long time. He did not first evaluate the learning status of these students, but said quietly, "These recruits are all Chinese."

That's right, all the novices on the scene were of Asian face, compatriots brought back from Africa by Zhou Qingfeng. Most of these people were originally engaged in armed farming and had received elementary military training. Now some of the highly educated people are selected as tank soldiers.

At this time, a great advantage of the Chinese was manifested. There were enough people in the ethnic group who had received high school or even college education, and Zhou Qingfeng could easily grasp a large number of qualified soldiers.

This cannot be done in other ethnic groups, even among the whites there are many ignorant, but mandatory compulsory education makes it difficult for the Chinese to become idiots.

Any Chinese can learn to drive, learn to fire, learn to maintain, learn tactics, and learn to cooperate. And more Chinese are learning communication, logistics, air defense, ambulance, camouflage, and all skills that can be used for fighting on the battlefield.

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 man who climbed to the top and overlooked 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 before had only more than a hundred tanks? Because the Diego regime encountered a lot of trouble in the process of forming troops, and the process of training qualified tankers found that the quality of the soldiers was poor!

And now what is this? The Aurora Legion not only produced hundreds of tanks in a few days, but also produced tankers who could form a complete armored division. Although these people have just begun to learn how to fight, this number alone is astonishing enough.

Suzano couldn't help but asked Herbert: "Did you encounter any problems with poor quality of soldiers when you formed your troops?"

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 sighed again, "But our trouble is on the other hand. It is bad enough to have five leaders with equal status inside. And the qualified soldiers in the army are often complicated in composition. Troops will affect combat effectiveness, and not scattered will affect combat effectiveness even more."

It is not easy to have an excellent source of soldiers with a single ethnicity, a unified culture, and similar personalities like the Han. The recruits participating in the training in the barracks are obviously not only Chinese, but they must be the backbone and trump card in Zhou Qingfeng's hands.

Thinking about facing such a well-trained opponent, both Suzano and Herbert felt a lot of pressure.
