Chapter 1843: The Rapidly Developing Red Police Corps
For three days, Cai Ruichen stayed in Chen Shao's time and space for three days. Except for the first day of discussion with Chen Shao and Li Lan, Cai Ruichen spent the rest of the time with Hua Meixue and his son.
After leaving the time and space where Chen Shao is, Cai Ruichen did not bring Hua Meixue back, because he can go to the time and space where Chen Shao is at any time now, just like Li Lan.
Furthermore, Cai Ruichen also understood that Hua Meixue would be safer with Chen Shao.
Back in my own world, nothing seems to have changed, the earth is still revolving around the sun, and the global pattern has been silent since the Baghdad Olympics.
Internationally, everything was calm, and no country came out to make troubles.
Since the 21st century, the world has experienced the most peaceful stage. Except for the ongoing Indonesian war, the peace in other places is beyond global imagination.
The United States is quietly shrinking its troops. Among the more than 200 military bases around the world, except for the main military bases in Europe, the military bases in other regions are gradually withdrawing their troops to the country in a covert manner, leaving only those who are barely able to operate the bases.
The United States, Russia, Britain and France seem not to believe Cai Ruichen's statement, but in fact, they are already secretly preparing.
France has launched its first heavy-duty nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the 21st century, and construction of a second one has begun.
Britain has commissioned its third Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier and a fourth is under construction.
The United States regained possession of eleven aircraft carriers, and the twelfth aircraft carrier is also in the stage of preparing to launch.
Russia is not slow either. The new aircraft carrier that has been planned for more than ten years is also bearing fruit.
In addition to the navy, the air forces and armies of the United States, Britain, France, and Russia are all quietly expanding their forces, and the personnel who originally planned to retire are all put on hold without restriction.
The military industrial enterprises in the four countries have all received a large number of orders, and large-scale conscription propaganda is being carried out in the country. It is also rumored that all retired soldiers are ready to re-enlist.
Under the calm surface, there was a storm of wind and clouds. Not only did no one feel at ease with this kind of calm, but everyone could not help worrying.
First China, and now the United States, Britain, France and Russia. Could it be that this is the rhythm of a world war?
For a time, the international public opinion was overwhelming, and it also aroused great concern in other countries. Once a world war breaks out among these nuclear powers, it will be a matter for all mankind.
These nuclear powers have repeatedly stated that conventional military construction is aimed at improving national defense and increasing national defense capabilities, and is not aimed at any country.
In fact, in the past year or so, the world has indeed been super calm. The armies of various countries have not made any moves, they are just training non-stop, and even rarely communicate with the outside world.
Even the United States directly stopped all kinds of joint military exercises with foreign military routines every year, but only retained the US military's own exercise plan.
The same is true for other countries. This is one of the reasons for the calm international situation. The security situation in the region with serious problems does not need any solution. Without external interference, the problem has almost disappeared.
In the international arena, news of various equipment is everywhere, and there are few reports of regional conflicts. In all international news, what is most relevant to each country is what equipment is being installed and the process of equipment research and development.
The Middle East Federation, which has become the core focus of the world, has been in the news for nearly a year. The outside world has rarely paid attention to the war in Indonesia, because the Indonesian National Army has not been able to make much trouble. Moreover, the Middle East Federation There were no scandals in the guards and Huaxia troops either.
People's attention is all focused on the ever-increasing armaments of the Middle East Federation at this stage.
Egypt, Libya, and Turkey officially joined the Middle East Federation, and the Arab world completed the most important unification in history.
Turkey and Egypt are countries dominated by the army. The perennial war in Libya has just subsided, and many armed personnel are left behind.
For this reason, the Supreme Command of the Middle East Federation combined the needs and armed conditions of the Middle East Federation garrison,
A new garrison construction plan was drawn up.
On the basis of the size of the original Middle East Federation garrison, it was increased to two million.
For this reason, a nationwide conscription has been vigorously launched. The difference with any country is that the Middle East Federation is the country with the most enthusiasm for joining the army among all countries, not one of them.
After just one week of registration and physical examination, the Middle East Federation recruited 15 million recruits in one go.
These fifteen million recruits will undergo a three-month brutal elimination system training, which is comparable to the rust removal hell week of the special forces.
During these three months of hell-like cruel training, 12 million of the fifteen million recruits were eliminated. These eliminated soldiers will return to their original life trajectory in reality.
The remaining 3 million recruits will undergo a new round of elimination, and the 3 million recruits will undergo training in the same subjects at the same time as the armed forces of Egypt, Turkey, and Libya, which add up to more than one million.
In the end, only about three-quarters of the soldiers will be eliminated, and the remaining quarter will become formal soldiers of the Middle East Federation Garrison and become real soldiers of the Middle East Federation Guards.
The soldiers eliminated in this round, this time the Supreme Command of the Middle East Federation, did not allow them to receive an allowance to go home, but included them all in the reserve soldiers of the Middle East Federation. These reserve soldiers have to come every month The nearest military base receives routine military training, and at the same time they can also receive the treatment of reserve soldiers.
The 2 million garrison troops have officially formed an army, but in fact, the size of the Middle East Federal Guard troops is far more than 2 million.
The Middle East Federal Garrison has a very special feature, that is, the size and number of troops, only the army is counted.
The navies and air forces of each principality will only be included in the garrison when there is a war. Therefore, if the navy and air force of each principality are counted, the scale will add seven to eight hundred thousand.
The principalities of the Middle East Federation have naval and air forces that are the envy of most countries in the world.
Among all the principalities in the Middle East Federation, except for Jordan, which is not close to the sea, the remaining principalities, each of which has an aircraft carrier named after the capital of the principality, a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of more than 80,000 tons, and a fully organized combat Ability, an aircraft carrier battle group, all kinds of combat ships and auxiliary ships add up to twenty-four ships.
Iran's Tehran aircraft carrier battle group;
Baghdad Aircraft Carrier Strike Group in Iraq;
Damascus aircraft carrier strike group in Syria;
Lebanon's Beirut aircraft carrier battle group;
USS Jerusalem Strike Group in Palestine;
Kuwait's aircraft carrier battle group Kuwait City;
Saudi aircraft carrier battle group Riyadh;
Qatar's Bahrain Carrier Strike Group;
The aircraft carrier battle group Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates;
Sanaa aircraft carrier strike group in Yemen.
There were originally ten principality aircraft carrier battle groups. In the past year, three more aircraft carriers of the same level have been launched, and all of them are equipped with relevant combat ships. There are a total of fourteen principalities and thirteen principality aircraft carrier battle groups.
Turkey's Constantinople aircraft carrier battle group;
Cairo aircraft carrier battle group in Egypt;
Libya's Tripoli aircraft carrier strike group.
Each of the thirteen principality's aircraft carrier fleets has complete combat capabilities. The fleet size of the aircraft carrier battle group alone exceeds that of ordinary naval countries.
Becoming the principality of the Middle East Federation has become the yearning of many countries, because the benefits are so good.
However, it is a pity that not everyone can join the Middle East Federation. Many African countries even directly expressed their hope to join the Middle East Federation, but they were all rejected on the grounds that the Middle East Federation does not continue to accept member states at this stage. When it will continue to accept other member states, it will be given priority.
Internationally, of course, the most concerned is the growth of the military power of the Middle East Federation.
The principality's naval fleet, which seems to be independent of the Middle East Federal Guard and garrison, will actually receive a unified command once a war breaks out.
During non-wartime, the fleets of each principality are under the command of the principality regime and carry out the tasks assigned by the principality.
Once there is a need, or a war breaks out, when the Middle East Federal Guard needs the garrison navy, these principality naval fleets will be included in the garrison command system and receive unified command.
Usually, these principalities can use these aircraft carriers as they like, but during the war, all the resources of the Middle East Federation need to be allocated by the Supreme Power Committee of the Middle East Federation, including homeland defense, natural resources, and population resources.
The air force and the navy are similar. Each principality has its own independent air force, all of which are equipped with the most advanced third-generation fighter jets. Except for some of these fighter jets, which are active-duty third-generation and fourth-generation fighter jets retired from the Middle East Federal Guard, in the future The military industry companies also continue to produce some advanced fighter jets for these principalities to form their own air defense systems.
The current Middle East Federal Guard has completely eliminated all old equipment. All the weapons and equipment of the armed forces of the sea, land and air are all new equipment after the high-level authority, and all the old-type equipment before the high-level authority have become the main weapons of the garrison.
At this time, the size of the Red Police Corps has already exceeded one million, and it is expanding the size of the Corps with an annual growth rate of 400,000 troops.
The production of military equipment has never stopped. Every day, a steady stream of new equipment is produced.
The first thing the outside world can pay attention to is the navy, because of the development of the navy, it is difficult to block the countless eyes of the outside world.
In the past year, two more fleets have been launched, following the launch of the sixth fleet.
In just a few years, the Middle East Federation frantically launched eight major fleets into service, all of which are maritime combat forces with a 100,000-ton super aircraft carrier as the core.
Not counting supply ships and various auxiliary warships, each fleet is composed of more than 30 ships of various types, among which there are only four underwater strategic attack submarines in each fleet.
The number of combat ships in the main aircraft carrier formation of the eight major fleets of the Middle East Federal Guard has exceeded 240, and if auxiliary warships are added, it will directly exceed 300.
Moreover, the Middle East Federal Guard has twelve amphibious fleets in addition to the eight major fleets it currently owns. The amphibious fleet is independent of the eight major fleets and does not belong to the command of the eight major fleets.
Twelve amphibious fleets, each of which has a certain degree of sea dominance and air dominance. With two amphibious assault ships with a full load of more than 60,000 tons as the core of operations, two second-class ships with a full load displacement of more than 40,000 tons have been prepared. The amphibious assault ship and four 50,000-ton dock landing ships formed a formation, equipped with two submarine escorts and eight surface escort ships.
In fact, the size of each of the twelve amphibious fleets is not inferior to that of the aircraft carrier battle group. The main combat direction undertaken by the aircraft carrier battle group is to carry out simultaneous amphibious landings while further consolidating the sea and air control after the aircraft carrier battle group has seized the command of the sea and the air. fight.
In addition to the third floating island fortress that is about to enter service, the size of the navy of the Red Police Corps has reached an extremely large scale. In front of the Federal Navy, numbers no longer have an advantage.
The title of humanity's first navy has been transferred from the top of the United States to the Middle East Federation.
With such a terrifying military force, all the navies in the world combined are no match for it. Even internationally, voices say that the Middle East Federation Navy already has the ability to occupy the whole world.
However, what the outside world does not know is that behind such a huge scale, there is a shortage of troops.
The special construction mode of the Red Police Navy's weapons and equipment has made the Navy of the Red Police Corps develop the fastest.
A shipyard is equivalent to an independent production list, and all shipyards can start building warships at the same time.
This year, the 200 shipyards of the Red Police Corps were all in the process of frantic construction. If they only built warships like the Sea Scorpion with a short construction time, they could build more than 1,000 ships in one year.
However, weapons and equipment need to be used by someone. In fact, after many warships are launched, even if they are added to the navy, in fact, there are not so many troops to meet the needs of these equipment.
Even the warships of the Red Police Corps require a very small number of people. A 10,000-ton large ship only needs 64 people to be full, but it cannot stand up to a large scale. What's more, the army and air force already have missile forces and both urgently need a large number of soldiers. .
Therefore, the Middle East Federal Guard Navy, which is extremely terrifying in front of people, actually, it will take some time to fully form the combat capabilities of all warships.
Cai Ruichen had just returned to his own world. Admiral Sha Yiqi, the commander-in-chief of the Red Police Corps Navy, came to his door. In one word, he needed more naval soldiers, and the warships could not be allowed to rust in the water.
