Chapter 204 Shadow Force
"Old Wu, this pill may not look very eye-catching, but it is very powerful..."
Under Wu Yikui's dumbfounded eyes, Ye Tian gave him a popular science introduction to the characteristics of the Great Return Pill.
"I'll wipe it!"
Wu Yikui had just felt the great effect of Tianmu Divine Dew, and before he could get over the surprise, he got a second surprise. Wu Yikui was extremely excited.
Without saying a word, Wu Yikui surrendered to Ye Tiangong and expressed his loyalty again.
"Brother, don't say anything anymore, this life is yours!
No matter when you need it, brother, you can just take this life!
Also, be a man and keep your word!
Since I agreed to hang out with you, I will do whatever you want me to do!
Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it without any hesitation!
…”
Wu Yikui's eyes were clear and his expression was very excited. He spoke for a long time before stopping.
Patting Wu Yikui's shoulder, Ye Tian pressed him down on his seat.
"Brother, I plan to form a shadow army, and you will be the commander-in-chief. Are you interested?"
Hearing this, Wu Yikui instantly entered a confused mode.
"Shadow Army, what the hell is this?"
Ye Tian took the cigarette handed over by Wu Yikui and took a puff of it, and then started to popularize science.
"Brother, it is rumored that the current economic situation in Citigroup is not very good. Many people have lost their jobs and food is a problem, let alone other things, right?"
In response, Wu Yikui nodded hurriedly and said: "Brother, it is indeed the case, the economic crisis broke out a few years ago.
Nowadays, although several years have passed since the economic crisis, the impact is still continuing.
Affected by the crisis, the quality of life of many Citizen people has declined sharply.
It is definitely not shocking to say that eating has become a problem for them! "
After receiving Wu Yikui's confirmation, Ye Tian nodded, his expression becoming more and more serious.
"Brother, to be honest, I plan to recruit troops in Citi Country. Look..."
Hearing this, Wu Yikui gave Ye Tian a thumbs up, "Brother, your move is so awesome!
As far as I know, not to mention ordinary citizens, even retired military officers like me can do a lot of tricks at once, but..."
Frowning, Ye Tian asked, "But what?"
With an awkward smile, Wu Yikui said: "Brother, recruiting troops is not a problem, but it requires a lot of money!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Ye Tian could speak, Wu Yikui smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, Citizen people love money, it's very realistic!
If you recruit soldiers in Citi Country, you are recruiting mercenaries. You must pay them military salary on time, no less!
If the pay you give the military is not very high, they won't be very attentive on the battlefield!
In that case, recruiting them would have no practical meaning! "
Finding that Wu Yikui was very practical and caring about himself, Ye Tian gave him a thumbs up: "Brother, be steady!"
Ye Tian shook his thumb and said again: "Brother, I am not short of money, I am not short of money. Am I talking nonsense?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Tian took out a Japanese yen check from his arms and pushed it in front of Wu Yikui.
“Brother, this is 1 million yen!
Of course, you can convert it into U.S. dollars when you recruit troops before or after you return to your country. "
While Wu Yikui was shocked, Ye Tian continued: "Brother, to be honest, with this money, you can recruit 50 soldiers for me, preferably retired soldiers from the Marine Corps, and let them serve me for a whole year. Year?
Of course, it would be better if they were all officers, privates, etc. You see..."
After shaking his head and rubbing his eyes vigorously, Wu Yikui finally came out of the shock.
Giving Ye Tian a thumbs up, Wu Yikui said excitedly: "Brother, there is no problem!
This money is enough to make them work for you.
And, in their hearts, you are God!
The most important thing is that with this money and my connections, I can quickly find these people for you.
In fact, I could easily do it with just a few more strokes!
The question is, when should I go to Citi Country to recruit troops? "
Smiling and nodding, while Wu Yikui was puzzled, Ye Tian took out another check from his arms, with the same denomination of 1 million yen.
"Dude, if I asked you to buy me a submarine, could you do it?"
During World War II, due to geographical reasons, most of the Japanese merchant ships and warships operated in the Chinese waters and the South Pacific.
It was too far away from the west coast of Citi, so the Japanese ships were relatively safe.
Of course, during World War II, the Japanese Navy was still very powerful.
Not to mention anything else, the presence of more than fifty aircraft carriers alone can frighten people.
In addition to submarines with strong concealment capabilities, ordinary warship formations, even aircraft carrier formations, do not dare to easily provoke the Japanese navy.
Therefore, because they are too powerful, the Japanese are not interested in anti-submarine warfare and escort work.
This has also created a phenomenon. Citizen's submarines based in the Central Pacific have created a lot of brilliance while the Japanese are not paying attention.
For this reason, Ye Tian thought about controlling some submarines and letting them attack the Japanese merchant ships.
When the opportunity comes, let them take the risk to ambush the Japanese warship!
Wu Yikui was an outstanding Marine and an officer. After learning about Ye Tian's plan, his eyes lit up.
Understanding the meaning of the Shadow Force, Wu Yikui nodded heavily after thinking for a while.
"Brother, as far as I know, because there is no war in the United States for the time being, many warships have no place to use.
Except for daily training, most of them are in maintenance mode, and many are about to break down.
In addition, because there are not many opportunities for American submarines to participate in wars, and the scale is small, their status is not very important.
After all, I have been in the Marine Corps for eight years and know a lot of people. If I make some arrangements, it won't be a big problem to buy a submarine that is about to be retired!"
Then, Wu Yikui recommended a submarine to Ye Tian.
The Whitefish-class submarine is one of the main submarines of the American submarine force.
Its displacement is between 1526 tons and 2414 tons.
It is nearly 100 meters long, with a total of 66 people, including 6 officers.
Weaponry:
One 10cm deck gun;
One 4cm secondary gun;
Two heavy machine guns;
Ten half-meter thick torpedo tubes, six at the bow and four at the stern, capable of carrying 24 torpedoes;
The power plant is diesel;
The power generation plant is a diesel generator;
The cruising range is more than 10,000 kilometers, and it can carry three months of supplies;
The maximum diving depth is 120 meters.
Ye Tian had also heard about this submarine, and he made a decision upon hearing it, expressing his hope to buy one.
However, Wu Yikui immediately raised two difficult questions.
Even if the submarine can be bought, where will the base be set up?
After buying it, what tactics should be adopted once it is put into actual combat?
