Chapter 1157: New Threat Theory

There are 500,000 troops, including 350,000 ground troops. Among the ground troops, except for the 200,000 garrison troops, the remaining 150,000 are the elite Red Police Armored Corps.

The Armored Corps has more than 3,000 main battle tanks and more than 5,000 armored vehicles. There are also tens of thousands of other ground combat vehicles.

With such a large force structure, all of them are advanced third-generation main battle equipment, and there are even fourth-generation main battle tanks.

The combined strength of the Iraqi and Syrian armed forces is not inferior to all the military powers in the world.

At this moment, all the heads of state have also reacted at this moment. A regional military power is rising from the Middle East, and there will be another powerful country in the world.

As long as the military strengths of Iraq and Syria are added together, and the strengths of the two complement each other, they will be able to become the top ten military powers.

Even Israel will be eclipsed a lot.

Such a huge force, even the United States looked up and down, and they were all taken aback.

It may not be a big deal to look at Iraq alone, and the same is true for Syria alone, but the result brought about by the combination of the two deserves the great attention of all the powerful and big countries in the world.

Whether it is the United Kingdom or France, they can all feel the strong military pressure from the Middle East.

The United Kingdom, which was originally very proud of having two second-tier aircraft carriers in the world, could only lower its proud head after seeing the four Baghdad-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

Now, the only thing they can feel proud of is perhaps the thirty-six Lightning carrier-based aircraft that can be carried on the two aircraft carriers.

For the British, they regret it even more, because when designing the new Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier, due to funding problems, the design drawings changed from the original nuclear-powered all-electric propulsion system to a conventional-powered all-electric propulsion system.

This change directly reduced the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier by a level, but it was also a financially acceptable result for the UK.

There is no doubt that 60% of the aircraft carrier technology in the world was invented by the British.

Even if it is an American aircraft carrier, 60% of the above technologies follow the design ideas of the British aircraft carrier back then.

British development aircraft carrier,

That has always insisted on its own heritage, and at the same time, the United Kingdom is also capable of designing nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and it is not a defective product like the French Charles de Gaulle.

If it weren't for the financial relationship, the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier would indeed be the second largest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the world after the United States.

Without money, nothing can be done. Now, although the British regret it very much, for the aircraft carrier, it has already been built and cannot be changed.

Regarding the aircraft carrier owned by the Future Technology Group, the UK can only shake its head, unable to express its pain.

It seemed outdated as soon as it was designed. Originally, it wanted to restore the glory of the world's second aircraft carrier country, but it was taken away immediately.

The ranking will drop to fourth in one breath, which makes the UK how to face the global military situation calmly.

This is especially true for France. France is the most independent of NATO. Its original armament system is also different from NATO. It can even be said that it has nothing to do with NATO at all.

Therefore, France has always insisted on the originality of its own weapons and equipment. In addition, there is a small conflict between France and the United States on this point. It has left NATO and rejoined several times, which also makes the United States not trust France very much.

Therefore, France has always insisted on domestically produced weapons and equipment. Phantoms and Rafales are the best successes of the French military industry.

Originally, France has always been proud of being the second country in the world to have a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. As a result, the Charles de Gaulle did not bring much glory to France, but bad news has always spread.

Of course, these bad news can disappear over time, but now, a country that France looks down on has a more advanced and powerful nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, even twice the size of the Charles de Gaulle.

This made the French Gallic Chicken, who has always been very proud, suddenly feel a little sad, and the world has become too strange.

Now, before a storm is over, the world has become strangely calm.

Even a normal person can feel an unusual aura, and no one knows what will happen next.

But one thing is certain, all countries, for Iraq and Syria, need to re-evaluate, of course, also need to re-evaluate the national defense strength of the entire hometown.

That night, a large number of think tanks in the United States quickly published a large number of analysis reports.

These analysis reports are all aimed at the current China. The results of the previous analysis by these think tanks are all to exaggerate the threat theory, and the results are all specifically pointing to what kind of tragedy the United States will have when facing China.

Publishing such an analysis is all intentional by the U.S. Department of Defense, exaggerating the pressure faced by the U.S. military, and then showing it to the people, telling all Americans that China is rising, and the U.S. military will lose its ability to protect the people ability.

China's thousands of missiles can flatten the entire United States within ten minutes.

Similar analysis results can be seen everywhere in think tanks in the United States. In fact, the so-called think tanks are all tools in the hands of politicians to guide public opinion and ask Congress for more military spending.

But now, the U.S. military really feels tremendous pressure. According to the combat program of the U.S. Navy, in order to ensure that it can fully surpass the enemy's country or contain future competitors, it must ensure that it can fully surpass its military superiority.

This point can also be seen from the US's strategic eastward move. ,

The USS Truman aircraft carrier battle group of the Fifth Fleet was mobilized to the Far East, and the newly commissioned Ford was placed in the Seventh Fleet stationed in Yokosuka, Japan. The United States, which originally had the USS Washington aircraft carrier battle group, sent three aircraft carriers in combat readiness All battle groups are assembled in the Far East.

This kind of power, for China, which has only one training aircraft carrier, does have a comprehensive suppressive power advantage.

For the allies of the United States in the Far East and Southeast Asia, this move by the United States is to embolden them and reassure their little brother. My brother is very powerful, so go and make trouble with China! Brother will always support you from behind.

But now, the United States really feels that it is tricky. It has two heavy-duty nuclear-powered aircraft carriers at once, and the power structure is suddenly reversed. (To be continued.)
