Chapter 1736: Indonesian Planning

"Commander, just received information that President Widodo's cabinet team has contacted Trump's cabinet team."

Xu Jie put the information in his hand on Cai Ruichen's desk and said.

"Follow up at any time, activate high-level spies, and all relevant information must be delivered as soon as possible." Cai Ruichen nodded, and opened the information content in front of him. In this information, there are already a lot of information related to Indonesia and the United States up.

In the intelligence, the cabinet teams of the two sides contacted immediately, and the issue discussed was that the United States intends to sell two Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines that were about to be sealed and decommissioned to Indonesia.

Over the past few years, although Indonesia's economy has declined sharply, if it is willing, it still has the ability to purchase a large amount of weapons and equipment. After all, Indonesia's US dollar foreign exchange reserves are more than 200 billion U.S. dollars. This money is Indonesia's plan to use The funds that come from the transformation of the economic model belong to the strategic foreign exchange reserve.

The initial contact between the United States and Indonesia was aimed at the 200 billion U.S. dollars in foreign exchange reserves, the precious foreign exchange funds accumulated by the Indonesian government for many years.

"The United States is really unscrupulous. It even plans to sell its nuclear submarines. When necessary, the nuclear non-proliferation treaty is really a dead letter." Cai Ruichen shook his head and turned to the second page of information.

The United States is doing everything possible to get more funds for military development. Even a non-real military ally like Indonesia plans to sell strategic weapons. It can be seen that the United States is now almost close to a bottomless attitude towards arms sales.

However, Cai Ruichen can understand the approach of the United States. Now it has come to a time when the future of the U.S. military is a matter of life and death. A dead camel is bigger than a horse.

Regardless of whether Trump or Hillary takes office, some strategic strategies will not change, but the executors are different, and there is a slight gap.

If Hillary came to power, I am afraid the means would be more extreme and resolute than Trump.

The second page of the intelligence is that Indonesia rejected the proposal of the United States. In the Indian Ocean naval battle, the Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines of the United States did not make any achievements. The Indonesians are very clear that it is completely impossible to reverse the situation by relying on the combat effectiveness of the two submarines. After all It is impossible for the United States to sell nuclear missiles and submarines to Indonesia.

The Middle East Federation Navy has already dominated the Indian Ocean. Let alone two nuclear submarines, even two aircraft carrier battle groups will not be of much use to Indonesia.

What's more, no one in Indonesia will use such weapons, and recruiting retired American sailors to help the Indonesian Navy use these two nuclear submarines, in the eyes of the Indonesians, is just leaving precious funds in the Indian Ocean.

Therefore, the Indonesians refused without hesitation. In the eyes of the Indonesians, it is the most stupid place to compete with the Middle East Federation for the navy and air force.

The Indonesians are not fools, and they also understand the principle of using strengths and avoiding weaknesses. The Middle East Federation is so powerful that the United States must avoid its edge. Therefore, what the Indonesians really want is that once the investigation results come out and a war is triggered, they hope that the United States can send troops.

On the second page of the intelligence, the Indonesian proposed that the United States did not agree or reject it. In this contact, the Americans almost all talked about wanting to sell weapons and equipment to Indonesia.

It is a pity that Indonesia has no interest in all the naval and air force equipment of the United States, but this does not mean that Indonesians are really not interested in American weapons.

In fact, the Indonesians themselves know better than anyone else that the Indonesian navy ranks among the bottom in the world, only a little better than countries like the Philippines, and its offshore defenses are not modernized, let alone going out to sea. .

The same is true for the Air Force. Of all the third-generation fighters in Indonesia, there are only twelve F-16 Fighting Falcon fighters, and they are all old-fashioned Fighting Falcons. There are more than a hundred of them, but all of them are second-generation fighter jets, which are not combat effective at all, and there are not even a few air-to-air missiles.

Under such circumstances, no matter how many advanced fighter jets are introduced, it is completely useless. After all, modern troops are not from World War II.

If advanced fighter jets want to ensure their combat effectiveness, they need a large number of skilled ground crews, supporting equipment and skilled drivers. Indonesia has very little reserves of these things. Even if Indonesia is given a hundred F-16F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jets, they can take off and fight fighter jets, none of them have half.

What's more, in the face of the powerful Middle East Federal Air Force, the Indonesians know better that no matter how strong the navy and air force are, they will deliver food. Otherwise, there is no need to ask the United States for help.

After considering the gap with the Middle East Federation, and at the same time being wary of Cai Ruichen's menacing coercive posture, the Indonesians also placed a large number of arms orders under the vigorous promotion of the United States, with a total order value of 20 billion US dollars.

This order is the total of all arms orders in Indonesia in the past 40 years. The order of 20 billion US dollars is also a rare large arms order.

In the information in Cai Ruichen's hands, the weapons and equipment purchased by Indonesia are listed on several pages, and these orders were directly completed in the first contact. Obviously, both parties had already made up their minds before contacting each other.

Almost all of the US$20 billion orders are Army weapons and equipment. The number of various anti-tank missiles and individual air defense missiles in active service in the United States alone is as many as 10,000 sets. Various Army advanced electronic equipment and advanced The purchase of weapons and equipment is also very complete.

Indonesia can be regarded as having spent a lot of money. The weapons and equipment listed above are enough to replace a large number of weapons and equipment in the Indonesian National Army to the world's advanced level.

In the list of these purchases, there are also a large number of auxiliary equipment specially used for jungle combat, including individual jungle detection radars, infrared scanning radars and other world-class anti-individual systems.

It can almost be seen from this that the Indonesians are already ready for a bloody battle with the Middle East Federation in the jungle, and even if the war does not break out, the purchase of these weapons and equipment can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Indonesian National Army. It's too bad.

The U.S. will airlift these two tens of billions of dollars of arms orders directly to Indonesia. Obviously, both Indonesia and the U.S. want to complete the order quickly. Indonesia even rented ten C-5 Galaxy transport planes from the U.S. military to come. Speed ​​up the efficiency of transporting these weapons and equipment.

"When will these weapons start to ship?" Cai Ruichen asked Xu Jie after carefully looking at the equipment list.

"With the unprecedented efficiency of the United States this time, the first batch of weapons and equipment may be delivered to Indonesia in the evening." Xu Jie replied.

"It is indeed an unprecedented efficiency. The US's weapons and equipment reserves really cannot be underestimated." Cai Ruichen said with a twitch of his mouth.

In the past, the sale of weapons and equipment in the United States was procrastinated. This time, the weapons were delivered to the buyers as soon as the order was placed, which was the first time in history.

"Maybe the United States smelled something." Xu Jie said. ,

"It's nothing to be expected, and we didn't intentionally hide our actions. I'm afraid even Indonesia knows about the actions of our aircraft carrier battle group. All the weapons installed may be sold to Indonesia." Cai Ruichen said lightly.

Modern weapons and equipment are not as simple as they were during World War II. They can be used after casual training. Indonesians buy a large number of active-duty army individual equipment from the US military. Although the technical requirements are the lowest, the Indonesian army also needs to be proficient, not to mention the active-duty weapons of the US Army. The equipment is indeed very advanced for many countries, but in Cai Ruichen's eyes, that's all it is.

The individual suits of the Red Police Corps have been being upgraded. Although so far, they are not as good as the enemies that appeared on Tuyi Island, they are already super advanced compared to the weapons and equipment of other countries in the world.

Cai Ruichen is very clear about the purpose of Indonesia's purchase of these weapons and equipment, and as discussed in the combat plan, once the war breaks out, Indonesia can only choose to resist guerrilla warfare in the jungle.

What's more, for the Indonesian nation, there is still some resistance to war disasters.

Continuing to open the information, the following content made Cai Ruichen's face change a bit.

On the first day of contact between the cabinet of the Indonesian president and the cabinet of the United States, many issues were discussed. After the arms trade, another important issue was discussed, the issue of military strength.

The problem is not Indonesia itself, but the US marketing of mercenary companies to Indonesia.

Academi, a notorious international mercenary company, formerly known as Blackwater International.

Blackwater Mercenary, a well-known PMC in the United States, is a private military and security consulting company, born in the US military-industrial complex, with a black bear claw as its logo. It is one of three private security companies working with the U.S. State Department.

Although the Blackwater Company was forced to change its name due to repeated scandals and the shooting of civilians, it was nominally turned into a logistics and training job.

But the actual Black Water, although the name has changed, but the essence has not changed.

Just because of the complete loss of the Middle East market, Blackwater and several American mercenary companies all lost their most important overseas markets, which led to the continuous reduction of the company's profits.

At present, the United States is mainly promoting Blackwater to Indonesia, and at the same time, it has not forgotten to recommend all mercenary companies that cooperate with the US military to Indonesia.

It's not that the United States doesn't trust Blackwater, but that the Middle East Federation is not an ordinary country, and the participation of a small number of personnel cannot change the direction of the war at all.

The United States has been very clearly aware of this, and all the mercenaries of the Blackwater Company add up to several thousand people, and they are placed in the entire Indonesian jungle. Although their combat effectiveness is very good, they still cannot compete with the powerful Middle East. Federal confrontation.

Therefore, the United States very much hopes that Indonesia can hire more mercenaries to help it fight.

As for the importance of mercenaries, the United States does not need to emphasize it, and Indonesia itself is very clear.

Facts have proved that hiring private security companies with good equipment and high combat quality can solve many difficult problems for the government.

The United States has also been enjoying the benefits of mercenaries for many years. Back then, it could not only overcome the shortage of US troops stationed in Iraq, but also avoid domestic political pressure caused by excessive casualties of the regular army, and relieve the government from solving the problem. Compensation for casualties and other aftermath issues.

An American commentator once pointedly pointed out: "The benefits of private security companies are obvious. With them, in the evening TV news reports, there will be no coffins of dead American soldiers covered with the Stars and Stripes." Therefore, the US Department of Defense claims Private security companies are an integral part of the entire armed forces of the United States.

"Without them, it is almost impossible for the United States to successfully win any war."

Similarly, the role of mercenaries in the country is not limited to the United States.

Cai Ruichen also has his own private mercenary company, Future Security Company, which has always been the vanguard of the entire resistance force, and is now working as a security guard in most African countries, specializing in security for the rich or international dignitaries. Free of charge Provide security protection work for all humanitarian relief organizations in the world in all chaotic areas.

All first-class mercenary companies, all mercenaries are veterans who have been on the battlefield, and most of them are composed of elite special forces retired from various countries. It is said to come and go freely, which is very difficult.

There are more than two hundred mercenary companies that can be named in the world, all of different sizes, and there are also a large number of private mercenary teams. Some of the world's top mercenary teams often quote hundreds Thousands or even tens of millions of dollars.

According to the statistics of the United Nations, there are more than 100,000 mercenaries in the world. These 100,000 people are in every corner of the world. They are all paid for their work, and many of them are even killers.

The killers that Cai Ruichen met in the Northeast back then were personal mercenaries who specialize in doing things with money, without morals and camps, and everything was based on money, and more than half of the mercenaries in the world were wanted criminals in various countries.

When he saw this information, Cai Ruichen immediately had a premonition that if the war to join Indonesia really broke out, mercenaries from all over the world would probably gather in Indonesia.

This point can already be seen from the intelligence. Indonesia is not confident in the face of the Middle East Federation, coupled with the wavering attitude of the United States, the external forces that Indonesia can seek are these mercenaries.

If these cunning mercenaries were involved in fighting in the jungle, Cai Ruichen immediately became cautious.

These desperadoes are very difficult to deal with, and they are good at extreme combat in such complex terrain. It has to be admitted that a large number of ordinary soldiers of the Red Police Corps will be quite dangerous when encountering these experienced mercenaries.

In the intelligence, the Indonesian cabinet team did not give a clear reply. After all, the mercenary camp is not clear. When hiring, you also need to be extremely careful. Money can control things. In the eyes of Indonesians, it is always a bit unreliable to deal with Cai Ruichen.
