Energy Group

Chapter 1429:

Although New Zealand’s armament strength can be said to be very low, there is a US military base in New Zealand, which is not very large, but represents a lot of power. Even the energy group cannot cause trouble under the current circumstances.

The excuse of the energy group this time is to conduct military exercises, but there are any good exercises in the South Pacific region. There is nothing here, and there is no strategic location. The exercises here are simply nonsense. Who would believe it? What about this?

There is also an excuse to exterminate pirates here. Although there are pirates here, they are not the same as those on Somalia. Because the society here is relatively calm, the pirates' ways of doing things are also more moderate. They Just like the crew on the ship or even friends, just detain you for a period of time, and then wait for your boss to pay, and you will be fine. Their openings are much different from those in Somalia. They will never ask for millions or even Tens of millions of dollars, or at most one hundred thousand dollars, the bosses will not fight for such a small amount of money. After all, the money is simply insignificant compared to their profits.

Li Cong thought for a long time and couldn't think of any reason, but No. 2 is not a person who can be idle. This guy replaced No. 1 and followed Li Cong to do things. This guy soon thought of the hot pot of Energy Group last month. The city imported 3,000 tons of mutton from New Zealand. At that time, some pirates used to ask them for money, but in the end they saw that the energy group’s goods were released directly, so they had to encircle people? It seems a bit unkind. But now there is no other excuse except for this reason. So multimedia is paying attention to super warships all over the world. If there is no reason, how can they easily use such large warships?

It’s just that Li Cong always seems to feel uncomfortable about the cannon hitting mosquitoes, so what?

I didn't wait for Li to react from here. The pirates over there immediately sent people over, willing to withdraw from this sea area, and willing to dedicate the things they grabbed over the years to Li Cong. This Li Cong and some senior cadres can swallow the eggs at this time. What the **** is this pirate? Why didn't I have any Caribbean spirit? How could he surrender before the fight? Such a person is not worthy of the word pirate at all. Such a person is simply **** in pirates. Li Cong scolded for almost five minutes.

"Damn, level up their pirate island for me." Li Cong ordered immediately after the pirates had retreated. In fact, it was also to verify the ability of the super battleship, how long it would take him for an island less than one square meter.

Following Li Cong's order, more than a dozen surrounding frigates quickly sailed towards the periphery. They will keep a distance of 30 nautical miles from the super warship. They are the protruding minions of the super warship. When the super warship wants to attack a place, their task is to guard the super warship well, especially some flies flying from the sky.

Looking at the frigate, Li Cong felt that the combat actions of these guys were good. Before he started to praise him, he felt that the 300,000-ton warship shook violently. It turned out that the super warship was moving around him. Four defensive shells were fired. It turns out that there are four cannons around the super battleship that cannot be attacked. Their task is to continuously fire defensive shells toward their surroundings during combat. It seems that there is a layer of defensive net within a range of hundreds of meters around oneself, and it is simply impossible for the enemy's aircraft to rush in. Of course, underwater is not defensible. Those submarines can enter, but the fleet's anti-submarine nets are not displayed. So far, the submarine that can enter is simply a handful, and the group fleet has not encountered it. Rival.

But Li Cong watched the cannonballs flying out, and it was painful. Damn such defensive cannonballs only lasted less than 30 minutes. This **** one is 100,000 yuan, so he can catch up with a missile. , If you start a war, you will need at least fifty pieces a day. It would cost 5 million **** renminbi just to open the protective cover a day. The price is too high, but if you think about it compared to the Americans. It’s pretty good. My super warship costs only US$2 million a day in peacetime, while an aircraft carrier of the US military costs US$180 a day to play. The combat effectiveness of my super warship can definitely be as good as five. The above aircraft carriers will be even more powerful if they have mastered the air supremacy, and the ground attack power of ten aircraft carriers can't keep up.

Seeing the flying shells instantly turned the island into a sea of ​​flames. If there are people on it, it’s not right, let alone people. Even the rats can’t live. The whole land can be turned up. Normal field battles. The fortifications are simply useless. This is definitely a super weapon of war. It is an absolute trump card in Li Cong's hands. Of course, there are still many functions that have not been tested, but Li Cong has already figured out his future use. Now, when this is combined with a sea base, it is like a floating island, and it is used to threaten people who can definitely be defeated without fighting.

"Have you ever tried to install an air cannon on this super battleship? If that's the case, I don't know how much range can be? How about the power and this?" Li Cong suddenly thought of a way to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the super battleship. The bosses of the military industry department also brightened their eyes. Why didn’t they think of this? Air cannons are now a half-concealed weapon in the group. Although the United States hasn’t figured it out on the surface, they have to do so. Be clearer.

"Our air cannon can have a range of nearly 500 air miles away, and it is definitely much stronger than the current artillery. I think we can convert several cannons on board into air cannons. Of course we won’t use it if it’s not a last resort, sir, you see?” It’s not that no one raised it, but they wouldn’t say it without the words above. It would be a taboo if it was leaked out. Things.

"Well, your idea is good. It can be implemented." Li Cong was officially approved, and the combat effectiveness of the super battleship became stronger.

Li Cong is busy working on New Zealand, but there are also a small group of people in the northern hemisphere of the world who are restless, and these people are just taking advantage of Great Russia. Sequoia trees used to dream of wishing to have many outlets to the sea, but they have never achieved their goals. They have always hoped that their Black Sea Fleet can rush out, but they have fought the Russian-Turkish war for hundreds of years. They didn't let themselves out either. Now they can get a place in the Mediterranean without war. Although Corsica is a bit weak compared to Gibraltar, it is a huge victory.

The President of Great Russia Vladimir is really happy today. How about being squeezed out by the other three powers? I am not comparable to them. You can compare yourself with your predecessors. After all, we have not really become a world power. Even during the Cold War, we have not really been on an equal footing with the Americans. Although tens of thousands of people have been lost now, the results are indeed very brilliant. We have our own port in the Mediterranean, so we held a grand welcome party in the Kremlin, looking at the Americans and energy groups. There is no news at all. In their opinion, such a small victory is simply too general. There is nothing to be happy about at all. This is what kind of thoughts will be made to look at the world from a different position. The redwood tree has not been in the world for too long. Victory was won. This victory is also important right now.

For this reason, Vladimir has also become the president of the Sequoia Tree, and it feels good to have power once. He is also the president of the country, which is not a joke. He also has his own abilities. Since he came to power, he has slowly expanded to the west. Now the small countries between them and Europa have also announced that they have joined Great Russia. In fact, Europa does not want these poor countries to join. At present, there is only one Poland left. This smelly and rotten Poland is very depressed when I think of it. It has no ability and is very tough. The Europa side is not rare, so no one is sent to lobby, but Great Russia People were sent here to refuse, and the refusal made Great Russia very faceless, so Vladimir was looking for an excuse to catch Poland all at once. He thought very well. The powers of the world should not have it. Want to get involved in the plan, right? Europa has already indicated that it has no interest. The Energy Group doesn't seem to have anything to do with here, right? Otherwise, they should have started working long ago.

In fact, this guy guessed a little wrong. Is the Polish government a fool? Can they not appear in the mainstream form of the world? Even if you don’t join a powerful country, you have to have a strong backing. If not, how could they be possible? Would be so bold to reject Vladimir. This guy thought that Poland might have made some verbal promises on the Europa side, and Europa wanted to use this as a buffer between the two countries, but it would be impossible for him to just kill him. Poland has been taken down by the Political Department of the Energy Group. This happened a few years ago. They wouldn’t be so brave without the energy group poking behind their backs. Europa has already known this news. Richard Liang told them inadvertently that they were really not interested in this place in Poland. If they bought it by themselves, it would cost hundreds of billions of euros each year. The shadow of the energy group, his current strength is not very strong, but there is no good fruit to confront him.

Poland, the full name of the Republic of Poland (Polish: lska), is a Central European country. It borders Germany to the west, Czechoslovakia and Slovakia to the south, Ukraine and Belarus to the east, and Lithuania and Russia to the northeast. , Facing the Baltic Sea to the north. Poland's important geographical location and topography have led to years of wars and disputes in history. Poland's territory has also changed over the centuries. After 1990, Poland's status in the European Union and on the international stage has also increased day by day. Poland was previously a member of the European Union, NATO, the United Nations, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the WTO. After the great changes, because Europa and Great Russia were established, it seemed that their strategic position suddenly fell, and neither of them had the intention of absorbing them. He seemed to be something that grandma didn’t care about and his uncle didn’t love. They all hope to keep such a place as their buffer. Otherwise, if Europa and Great Russia border directly, there can only be daily conflicts.

The national population is 68.501 million (March 22, 2042), which is an increase of 271,000 compared to the total population at the time of the last national census in 2032, an increase of 0.71%. The female population is 40.67 million and the male population is 28.432 million. The ratio of male to female population is 100:109. Among them, the female population has increased by 353,000, while the male population has decreased by 84,000 compared to 2032. The urban population of Poland was 23.169 million, accounting for 60.2% of the total population of the country. In 2042, the urban population accounted for 61.8%. At the same time, the number of rural population in Poland was 15.332 million, accounting for 39.8% of the total population. The ratio at the time of the year was 38.2%. The Polish ethnic group accounts for about 98% of the total population, in addition to German, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Russian, Lithuanian, Jewish and other minorities. Germans account for 1.3%, Ukrainians 0.6%, and Belarusians 0.6%. . The official language is Polish. Catholicism accounts for 95%, while Orthodox, Protestant and other denominations account for 5%. The currency used is zloty. There are now fewer and fewer small currencies in the world. Because of the relationship between international settlements, the renminbi and the US dollar are the most used in Poland, and sometimes the euro is used, making these three domestic currencies very popular. The language is Polish.

Poland covers an area of ​​more than 310,000 square kilometers. It is located in the northeastern part of Central Europe, bordered by the Baltic Sea in the north, Germany in the west, and Czechoslovakia and Slovakia in the south. The east and southeast are connected with Belarus and Ukraine, and the northeast is connected with Lithuania and Russia. The coastline is 528 kilometers long. The vast majority of the whole area is a slightly undulating low plain (with an average elevation of 173 meters). The north is low and the south is high, and there are moraine lakes in the north. There are low hills in the south, and the Sudeten and Beskid Mountains are close to the border with the Czech Republic. The terrain is low in the north and high in the south, with a concave central part. Plains below 200 meters above sea level account for about 72% of the country's area. The main mountains are the Carpathian Mountains and the Sudeten Mountains. The larger rivers are the Vistula (1047 kilometers long) and the Oder (742 kilometers long in Poland), of which the Voltava River (435 kilometers long) is known as the mother river of Poland. 99.7% of the country belongs to the Baltic Sea Basin, of which the Vistula River Basin accounts for one-half and the Oder River Basin accounts for one-third. The largest lake is Lake Hignardvi with an area of ​​109.7 square kilometers. The whole territory belongs to the temperate broad-leaved forest climate transitioning from oceanic to continental climate. From west to east, from north to south, the ocean is gradually decreasing, and the continental is increasing. The annual precipitation is 450,800 mm, and the southern mountain can exceed 1,000 mm. . Forests account for 28% of the country.

The capital, Warsaw (Warsaw), has a population of 1.615 million (2001) and an average annual temperature of 9.6°C. Warsaw, the country's largest city, is the largest center of industry, trade, science and culture, and the largest transportation hub. It is located on the central plain of China, on the west bank of the middle reaches of the Vistula River, covering an area of ​​450 square kilometers. It is an important trade route for China and Europe. It has been a very prosperous place since ancient times. There were residents in the 10th and early 11th centuries. The city was first built in the middle of the 13th century and became the capital in 1596. Since the beginning of the eighteenth century, it has been under foreign rule for more than two hundred years, and since 1919 it has been the capital of Poland. The population exceeded one million in 1920, making it one of the largest European cities at that time. It was severely damaged in the Second World War and quickly rebuilt after the war. There are many industrial sectors, with machinery manufacturing most notable, including electrical machinery, precision machinery, machine tools, aircraft, automobiles, agricultural machinery and other sectors. The chemical (pharmaceutical, plastic, chemical fiber), textile, and food processing industries are also very developed. It is also the largest printing industry center in the country. There are many higher education institutions such as the Polish Academy of Sciences, many research institutions and societies, and the largest comprehensive university in the country. It is famous for its high level of greening. The green area of ​​the urban area is 126 square kilometers, and there are 67 large and small parks. The northwestern suburb of Zelazova Wola is the hometown of musician Chopin. In Polish, Warsaw is Warsaw. According to legend, a pair of lovers named Walsey and Shawar bravely fought against the king's obstruction, and finally married. People admire the brave spirit of the young lovers, and named the city after them, which was later called Warsaw for short.

Although they did not have much contact with western Europe in history, and suffered from the ravages of the Germans during World War II, their history with Great Russia was not very good. The most important one was the Katyn incident.

Katyn incident (re). Also known as the Katyn Massacre and Katyn Forest Massacre, it refers to the incident in which about 22,000 Polish soldiers, intellectuals, politicians and public officials were killed by Soviet troops in Katyn Forest, Kalinin and other places in the spring of 1940 during World War II. ; A total of about 22,000 Poles were killed. Among them, more than 4,000 people were killed in the Katyn Forest. In 1943, Nazi Germany, who found the bodies of Polish soldiers, claimed that the killing was committed by the Soviet Union, which was denied by the Soviet Union; until 1990, when Polish President Jaruzelski visited the Soviet Union , Su Fang officially admitted that he was fully responsible for the Katyn incident; in April 2010, Russian President Medvedev ordered the publication of the historical documents of the Katyn incident in the hands of Russia. This was the first time relevant materials about the Katyn incident were disclosed to the public.

On September 1, 1939, Nazi Germany launched a blitz war against Poland. Occupy the western part of Poland. On September 17, the Soviet Union entered Poland from the east, occupied all Polish territory east of the Curzon Line, and captured about 250,000 Polish soldiers. The Soviet Union subsequently detained Polish officers and soldiers in some newly-built prisoner-of-war camps. Among them are Starobelsk, Kozelsk and Ostashkov three prison camps. A total of 15,131 Polish prisoners of war including 9,000 officers were held.

On April 13, 1943, the Nazi Germany that invaded the Soviet Union announced that it had found mass graves of Polish soldiers massacred by the Soviet military in the Katyn Forest area near the Soviet Union Smolensk. On April 15, the Soviet Union issued a communiqué categorically denying this. It is claimed that these Polish prisoners of war fell into German hands after the German invasion of the Soviet Union and were killed by the Germans. Since then, both the Soviet Union and Germany organized investigative missions to Katyn to conduct field investigations, but neither achieved clear results. After the war. The Nuremberg International Military Tribunal also avoided making a clear statement about the Katyn incident when interrogating the Nazi German war criminals, making it an unsolved mystery. The red cedar tree is very clear about these things. This is the fact that the Soviet Union was using their powerful influence to adapt the facts, but the facts are facts after all. There will always be another day.

Since then, the Polish side and the international community have repeatedly raised doubts and launched fierce disputes about the Soviet government's claims, but the Soviet government has always adhered to its established position. After Gorbachev became the leader of the party and state of the Soviet Union in 1985, the Soviet Union and Poland formed a joint committee of free historians to conduct in-depth and detailed research on a large number of documents related to the incident. On April 13, 1990, when Polish President Jaruzelski visited the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union officially recognized its full responsibility for the Katyn incident.

According to the latest research by Polish, Russian, German and Lithuanian historians, 12.13 million Soviet prisoners of war were imprisoned in Poland in 19191921, of which 65,000 to 70,000 returned to Russia, and more than 6,000 became the White Guards (in Poland, Germany, Romania, and the Baltic Sea). Country), 2000 people became Polish residents and became citizens. Therefore, a total of more than 45,000 people were turned into bones in the death camp.

In retaliation for Poland’s atrocities against Soviet prisoners. On March 5, 1940, the Soviet NKVD (Minister of the Interior) Beria wrote a report on the execution of more than 20,000 prisoners of war and prisoners, mainly Polish officers. It was approved by the Central Committee of Stalin and the United Communist Party of China (Brazzaville) and was approved immediately.

In early April 1940, the execution of Polish prisoners of war officially began. Hundreds of captured Polish officers were taken in cars from the three prison camps mentioned above and transported secretly to the Katyn Forest where they were executed. The executioner stood behind the Polish prisoners of war and shot them in the back of the head. After the burial, Soviet personnel spread a thick layer of soil on it. Soon, the second batch of prisoners of war was transported to the place and treated in the same way. Until mid-May of that year, the Soviet side executed 4421 Polish prisoners of war in Katyn Forest. They were buried in 8 large pits, covered with pine and birch trees. In addition to the Katyn Forest, the Soviets also shot 3,820 people in the Starobelsk POW camp, 6,311 people in the Ostashkov concentration camp, and 7,305 people in other POW camps and prisons in West Ukraine and West Belarus. . Together with the 4421 people executed in the Katyn Forest, a total of 21,857 people, including about 15,000 captured Polish officers and soldiers.

Regardless of this matter, the three divisions of Poland in history all have a direct relationship with Great Russia, May 1772. Tsarist Russia, Prussia, and Austria met in Petersburg and signed the first treaty to partition Poland on August 5. Accordingly, Poland lost about 35% of its territory and 33% of its population, and Poland became a protectorate of Russia, Prussia and Austria. January 23, 1793. Russia and Prussia signed an agreement on the second partition of Poland in Petersburg. After the second partition, Poland became a small country with only 200,000 square kilometers of territory and a population of 4 million, and became a puppet state of Tsarist Russia. The Polish king did not have the permission of the Tsar. Do not declare war and make peace with foreign countries. On January 3, 1795, Russia and Austria signed an agreement to partition Poland for the third time. On October 24, Prussia also signed the agreement. According to the agreement, Polish territory was divided up. "Russia annexed Lithuania, Courland, West Belarus and the western part of Warren, and pushed the border to the Neman-Bug River line. A total of 120,000 square kilometers and a population of 1.2 million; Austria occupied Krakow and Lublin. The entire Lesser Poland and part of the Mazowiecki region, including the entire region, total 47,500 square kilometers and a population of 1.5 million; Prussia won the rest of the western region, Warsaw, and part of the Mazowiecki region, totaling 55,000 square kilometers. The population is 1 million." So far, the Polish state that had existed for more than 800 years has perished. Summarizing in the process of dividing Poland three times, the territories seized by Tsarist Russia accounted for about 62% of the original Polish territory, a total of more than 460,000 square kilometers; Prussia seized about 20%. A total of about 141,100 square kilometers; Austria seized about 18%, a total of about 121,800 square kilometers. After the history of the three divisions. When Poland was subjugated, Poland disappeared from the map of Europe for 123 years.

It was easy to establish his own country after World War I. However, it was divided up again during World War II. Since October 1938, Hitler raised the issue of the Polish corridor to Poland and threatened Poland with war. On August 23, 1939, the Soviet Union and Germany signed a non-aggression treaty and a secret protocol on the division of spheres of influence (the Soviet Union has always denied the existence of the secret protocol). On September 1, 1939, Germany raided Poland with a blitzkrieg and quickly invaded most of Poland's territory. Polish soldiers and civilians fought bravely. On September 17, the Polish government fled abroad and first formed an exile government in Paris headed by General Sikorski (W 搀搀椀猀挀最). After the defeat of France, the government in exile moved to Britain in 1940. At the same time, on September 17, the Soviet leader Stalin (ИосифВиссарионовичСталин) ordered 600,000 Soviet Red Army to cross the Soviet-Polish border, enter eastern Poland, and occupy Western Ukraine and Western Belarus in order to establish the Eastern Defense Line. On September 18th, the Soviet army and the German army joined forces in Brest-Litovsk. The German and Soviet armies divided Poland by the Pisa-Narev-Vistula-San river line. On September 28, the Germans captured Warsaw, and Poland fell again. The Polish people started an anti-fascist national liberation war.

Germany attacked the Soviet Union in 1941 and occupied all Polish territory. Then the Soviet Union established diplomatic relations with the Polish government in exile. In 1942, the government-in-exile established the National Army in the country. In the same year, the Poles supported by the Soviet Union established the Polish Workers’ Party and the People’s Army, and launched an arduous struggle underground against the Nazi occupying forces. For this, many people have given their precious lives. In 1943, due to the Katyn Forest incident, the exile government again broke off diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union.

With the development of the war situation, the Soviet counteroffensive gradually advanced the front into Poland. On New Year's Day in 1944, under the initiative of the Workers’ Party, the National People’s Congress was established, with Beirut (les 最erut) as its chairman. On July 22, 1944, the National People's Congress formed the Polish National Liberation Committee in Chełm and promulgated the historic "July Declaration", proclaiming the birth of a new Polish country.

In August 1944, the Soviet Red Army advanced to the outskirts of Warsaw, and the British government-in-exile in order to gain greater benefits in the newly-born Polish state authority.

Just ordered the underground National Army in Warsaw to initiate an uprising, this is the famous Warsaw Uprising.

According to the decisions of the Yalta and Potsdam Conferences, the eastern and western borders of Poland were determined. The Curzon Line was the border of Poland in the east, and the Pod border in the west was moved westward to the Odder-Ness River, and Szczecin and Schwino Wiesi moved into the Polish side of the border. In this way, the territory of Poland as a whole moved more than 200 kilometers westward, and its area was reduced by about 76,000 square kilometers compared with the pre-war period, which was a loss of about 20% of its territory.

In World War II. The Polish people made great sacrifices for the anti-fascist war. Approximately 6 million Polish soldiers and civilians were killed in this war. Many concentration camps where the Nazis slaughtered Jews and other civilians were found in Poland, the most famous of which is Auschwitz (tz) concentration camp. Among all the countries participating in the war, if calculated in proportion to the population. Poland is the country with the most casualties.

Generally speaking, in history, redwood trees owe more to Poles. Although redwood trees developed a terrifying force in Poland during the Cold War, they are now weakened and ill-formed. Of course, most of them are It was the ability of the Americans in the ten years from 1990 to 2000. Later, it was destroyed by the energy group. At this moment, it can only be lingering.

After rejecting the "kindness" of Great Russia, Poland also began preparations for war, but they knew the nature of this neighbor. Regardless of whether it was during the Tsarist Russia period, the Soviet period or the current Great Russia period, they would fight if they disagree. They did not impose any sanctions on themselves economically, but militaryly. The two countries are not on the same level at all, but the Polish government is very good at doing things. As early as a few years ago, it gave the United States and the energy group a large military base in the border area. It is also the largest military base of the two major forces in Eastern Europe. In the past, the two countries were fighting in Poland. The respective losses are not small, but now the army is overwhelmed, as if their own things can be let go, if this place is occupied by Great Russia. Then there is no need to keep this base, just like the energy group's base in western Europe. There are ten thousand people inside, and one hundred thousand people outside are looking at you. Can't move at all.

Immediately after being justly rejected, there will be other arguments. Great Russia used a cross-border incident that year as a reason to demand the Polish side to surrender the 32 Wehrmacht who killed them, otherwise it would exercise its rights. The Polish side naturally doesn't know where to find murderers for Great Russia, because there is no such thing. Where to find you? This is obviously an untenable thing. They don’t know how to face Great Russia. They can only ask the energy group and the Americans for help on the one hand, and even send a message to Europa, on the other hand, they order the whole country. The army began its first-level combat readiness to prevent the great Russian dog from jumping over the wall.

From the perspective of Great Russia, Poland has this attitude. A small country like you dared to resist one of the four big powers like me. It simply doesn’t give me face. Although we are the lowest of the four big powers, we are better than Your country is going to be much stronger. Great Russia, which feels that it’s hard to survive, immediately began to mobilize. The Belarusian-Ukrainian Army Corps, which was originally near the border, was immediately transferred to near the border, and the deep group in the interior began. They can be transferred to the Polish front lines in one day.

It can be said that there is only one number of troops in Belarus and Ukraine, and Belarus's can basically be ignored. Ukraine's military strength is still acceptable, but self-protection is possible, and it is difficult to say aggression.

After Ukraine withdrew from the Soviet Union and declared its independence, it inherited the forces and corresponding facilities of the three former Soviet military districts (Kiev Military Region, Odessa Military Region, and Zakarbach Military Region) within its territory. The Ukrainian army has thus become one of the few strong forces in Europe, with nuclear weapons and modern conventional weapons and equipment.

The Uzbek army’s number was about 700,000 at the time. The army’s strength was composed of 14 motorized infantry divisions, 6 air defense brigades, 8 artillery brigades, 4 tank divisions, 3 artillery divisions, and 1 special forces brigade; the air force included 3 Group army (more than 1,000 fighters), 7 armed helicopter regiments and 1 independent air defense group army. In terms of nuclear weapons, Ukraine had 176 intercontinental ballistic missiles and approximately 2,600 tactical nuclear weapons.

As of early 2022, the number of active duty personnel in the Ukrainian army has dropped sharply to 196,000. The primary reason for the retirement of a large number of officers and soldiers was insufficient military expenditure and poor treatment of the troops. Many military officers have been waiting for housing promised by the state since the last century. At present, about 48,000 military officers’ families are lining up to apply, of which 13,000 have been waiting for more than 10 years. The salary is not satisfactory. The monthly salary of a contract private soldier is 870 hryvnia (1 U.S. dollar is about 8 hryvnia), and the monthly salary of a corporal of 1100 hryvnia for three years of service is only half of the national average salary. The monthly salary of a lieutenant colonel battalion commander who has served for 18 years is only 2500 hryvnia, much less than that of middle-level government officials. With this meager salary, the officers and soldiers still rely on it to support their families and pay the rent. Therefore, it is not surprising that a large number of officials took off their uniforms and left. In 2029 alone, there will be 2,500 officers who opted to retire, of which 2,000 are still on contract. This momentum has not yet been curbed.

The army is not only to defend the country’s armed system, it is also a large school to train young people. But this training system has also collapsed, and it is no longer honorable to join the military camp. Although many young people still try their best to join the army, some even pay bribes to cover their health problems. But all this is not because of the glory of being a soldier, but because of the high unemployment rate (especially in remote areas). Young people hope to use being a soldier as a springboard to enter the police and security departments.

Due to the serious shortage of long-term military expenditures, by 2028, there will be only 31 out of 112 active Uzbek fighters, 10 out of 24 bombers, 6 out of 12 reconnaissance planes, and 8 out of 39 attack planes capable of taking off. In other words, only 30% of the aviation force has combat effectiveness. In 2029, this situation has not changed.

In addition, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com armor and artillery units have only 60% combat readiness. The research and development of the missile system has been in the middle. Fighters and tanks have no money to improve. The navy’s situation is even worse, with only 30% of the Soviet warships still in service. And these ships have no place to repair, because the shipbuilding industry is actually paralyzed.

At present, the per capita military expenditure of the Uzbek army is only 6,000 US dollars, which is 8 times that of Russia and 23 times that of France.
