Chapter 823 Loans of 2 Trillion Yuan to Build a New National Defense in Iraq
Modern warfare is more of a confrontation of the system. It is impossible for a mere mercenary company to confront a country, let alone a world hegemon like the United States.
Therefore, although the combat effectiveness displayed by future security companies is very strong, in the eyes of Americans, this is not surprising.
The Iraqi army that Americans really care about, this army is the object that the United States needs to be vigilant about.
A mercenary company with thousands of people has its own army, army and air force, but its scale is not enough to make the United States vigilant.
But Iraq is different. Future Technology Group is vigorously supporting the reconstruction of Iraq, and it is also rebuilding its troops. This matter has not only become the focus of attention in the Middle East, but also a place that the United States has always been concerned about.
The hundreds of thousands of Iraqi National Defense Forces were reduced to 100,000 within a month. The major purges in the army wiped out the entire Iraqi National Defense Forces system.
No officer above the lieutenant colonel was able to die well, and all the officers and generals above the lieutenant colonel were sent to military courts.
From this, it is enough to see that Iraq is now super generous in the development of the army.
No country, no matter what dynasty or emperor it is, would dare to do this.
But Iraq did just that without causing a mutiny in the army, and eliminated three-quarters of its troops, and almost no country dared to do so.
Iraq is so willful. From the outside world, Idris' courage is simply terrifying.
And no one dares to underestimate the streamlined Iraqi army, and the United States is no exception.
The original Iraqi army of 100,000, together with the two ace heavy equipment divisions, the Marin Division and the Tikrit Division, which were established under the establishment of the Future Technology Group, are enough to make many countries dare not underestimate them.
This also means that Iraq has also begun to follow the road of elite soldiers. The large and bloated force structure, under modern warfare, will not bring about an increase in combat effectiveness, but a weakening of combat effectiveness.
No one would say that Iraq's massive disarmament is ruining its own defense industry.
Because everyone understands that with the support of the Future Technology Group, Iraq currently has hundreds of thousands of troops, and weapons and equipment will soon be in place, all third-generation main battle tanks, and various third-generation fighter jets .
At that time, the combat effectiveness of the Iraqi National Defense Forces will not become weaker due to the reduction in the number of soldiers, but will become stronger.
This is also the most obvious reason. Almost everyone thinks that with the help of the Future Technology Group, the Iraqi government will arm the streamlined troops as soon as possible.
However, such an idea just appeared in everyone's mind. The Israeli Ministry of Defense made a decision that surprised everyone.
According to the Iraqi Ministry of Defense, the streamlined 100,000 Iraqi Defense Force troops will be drawn out of the Iraqi National Defense Force's combat order and become a local garrison force. The Iraqi National Defense Force will officially establish the National Garrison Command.
The 100,000 troops will be reorganized into six garrison divisions and become the garrison troops under the combat organization of the Iraqi National Defense Forces, which is commonly known as the second-line troops.
As soon as this news appeared, almost everyone thought the Iraqis were stupid.
Delineating the few 100,000 troops into the mainstream battle order does not mean that the Iraqi government now has only 40,000 main combat troops.
But soon, the Iraqi Defense Ministry announced again that the Iraqi National Defense Forces will be reorganized, with the Marin Division and the Tikrit Division as the main combat forces to form a new National Defense Force combat organization.
The new combat organization of the Iraqi National Defense Forces consists of four different arms: the Iraqi Air Force, the Iraqi Navy, the Iraqi Army, and the Iraqi Missile Force.
When the news first appeared,
The Iraqi Ministry of National Defense also stated that in order to ensure that the Iraqi National Defense Forces have the power to protect the Iraqi people as soon as possible, they will propose a military investment of more than 200 billion U.S. dollars and a total of 2 trillion Iraqi new dinars to the Future Technology Bank of the Future Technology Group. loan.
The Iraqi government will use all of this loan to purchase weapons and equipment for the Iraqi National Defense Forces and garrison troops.
The procurement project of this loan, the army includes rebuilding two armored divisions with rapid response, as well as an air assault division and an airborne force.
For the navy, the Iraqi Navy will purchase two multi-purpose destroyers with a displacement of 6,800 tons, four sea scorpions and a fast integrated supply ship.
In the navy, Iraq's first marine corps capable of amphibious operations will also be established, with only one reinforced battalion for the time being.
The Air Force is the key procurement target for this loan. More than 60% of the two trillion Iraqi dinar loan was allocated by the Air Force.
The Iraqi Air Force will purchase 220 third-generation fighter jets at one time in order to encircle its national airspace sovereignty.
At the same time, there are subsequent weapons and equipment for various fighter jets and training costs for pilots.
The entire huge procurement plan also took into account the cost of the Iraqi garrison and national police and security forces.
The loan and the arms purchase contract were completed in a very short period of time, and the announcement to the public was only the result of this matter.
Future Technology Group plans to complete all Iraqi military purchase orders within three years.
Such a huge military order is almost the rearmament of a country's national defense military force. The completion of such an order within three years has given the world a clearer understanding of the future technology group's military industrial production capacity.
After all, it does not seem that ordinary countries can produce such a huge amount of weapons and equipment in such a short period of time.
Especially with more than 200 third-generation fighter jets, if the Iraqi Air Force has all formed combat capabilities, it will be enough to overwhelm many European countries.
And as soon as these news appeared, it was enough to make Americans fearful enough. Idris did not seem to be a person who was willing to be calm.
Iraqis, who have suffered from wars for a long time, understand the need for a strong national defense. Almost no Iraqi has any objection to the Ministry of National Defense's generous loan to the armed forces.
Only a strong national defense can have the ability to keep the enemy out of the country, and only in this way can the flames of war not be rekindled on the land of Iraq.
This is the declaration of the development of the Iraqi Ministry of Defense, and it is not the long-cherished wish of every Iraqi.
