Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Since it requires constant running-in and training, manpower must be strengthened. The Xiangjiang headquarters needs security personnel, and the Middle East needs a large number of combat-ready soldiers. After all, once a war breaks out, Bao Zixuan doesn't want to be controlled by others. He must beat the opponent to fear and pain at once. Otherwise, Fucairah would have no strategic advantage due to its geographical location.

Zhang Zhan's answer proved that he was very attentive. In line with the principle of trusting people without trusting them and trusting people with employment, I still gave him the task. Although he was only a deputy company commander during the war years, the Heiyun Group did not have many senior officers who retired and came to apply for the job, so they had to give him a chance.

Everyone has grown up in war, and any senior officer has either just become a soldier or is a senior military commander. It is necessary to continuously improve oneself through actual combat and gradually move towards senior officer positions.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Now that we know the enemy so well, we need to prepare those weapons and how many manpower we need. All of this is left to you. There is only one requirement; even if Abu Dhabi and Dubai intervene, we cannot be at a disadvantage."

This is a technical issue. Although Bao Shaofu knows that those weapons are advanced and easy to use. Of course the Soviet Union will agree to the sale, and even if it does not sell for smuggling, there will be no problem. But it also depends on the personnel's use of weapons and how to exert the combat effectiveness of advanced weapons, which are the key factors that determine the victory of the war.

Zhang Zhan seemed to know that his boss was going to ask these questions, so he directly took out a list. At the same time, he said: "The tanks currently modified within the group can meet the war requirements. At least technically, they can completely overwhelm the Sharjah Centurion tanks. However, the intervention of Abu Dhabi and Dubai must be considered, so at least 80-120 tanks are needed. Reserve. At the same time, be equipped with weapons and ammunition. After all, once the war breaks out, the enemy is likely to attack our supply lines."

"The helicopters purchased in the United States can play a role and have initially formed combat effectiveness. Although there are HH-01 Phantom stealth fighter bombers, they cannot play much role in Fucaira. The land area is limited, and the fighter jets may have just taken off. It will be discovered by the enemy, and it won’t be of much use at all.”

"And there are currently no airports within the territory for fixed-wing aircraft to take off and land. This is a troublesome matter."

Without an airport, Bao Zixuan immediately thought of a Soviet fighter jet, the Yak-36 carrier-based aircraft, formerly known as the "Yak-38". In the 1970s, the Soviet Union developed a carrier-based vertical take-off and landing fighter/bomber. It is mainly used for low-altitude attack and reconnaissance of sea and ground targets, and has certain air combat capabilities. It entered service at the end of 1977. The wings can be folded upward. The maximum speed at high altitude is M0.95, the cruising speed is 958 kilometers/hour, the practical ceiling is 12,000 meters, and the combat radius is 240 kilometers. Airborne equipment mainly includes: ranging radar, identification friend or foe, infrared sight, head-up display, etc. There are four weapon racks under the two wings, which can carry 2,600 to 3,600 kilograms of aircraft gun pods, bombs, rockets, air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles and air-to-ship missiles.

In fact, the British Haiyao fighter is technically more mature and has superior performance. But if Heiyun Group orders fighter jets from the British, they will definitely not sell them. Even if I sell it to you, it is estimated that by the time it is transported back to Fucairah, the Sharjah people will have already attacked. Soviet weapons are much more convenient. At worst, you can smuggle a few back. As long as Abu Dhabi and Dubai do not take action, there is no need to use fixed-wing fighter jets to deal with Sharjah.

I just want to crush the opponent technically, and I must ensure that everything is foolproof.

In the previous life, Iraq invaded Kuwait in only one day. Although the combat effectiveness of the Sharjah troops was not as strong as that of Iraq, Fucairah was much smaller than Kuwait. Comparing the two, they are actually about the same.

Bao Zixuan: "I will find a solution for a fixed-wing fighter jet from the Soviet Union. After all, it is too late to develop it now. At the same time, all security personnel preparing to participate in the war must not only be trained in military skills, but also must master two foreign languages, Arabic and Russian."

Mastering Arabic is easy to understand, after all, you are fighting against the Arab army. But what does it mean to master Russian? Is there anything about the Soviets here?

Seeing Zhang Zhan's hesitation, Bao Zixuan continued: "Fighter pilots are hired directly from the Soviet Union. We can follow the example of Israel, which can form combat effectiveness as quickly as possible."

Hearing what his boss said, Zhang Zhan immediately thought of it. On May 14, 1948, Jews all over the world were moved to tears. Israel, which had been destroyed for 2000 years, was officially established at 4 p.m. that day. Zionism has been active for 100 years, and its dream has finally come true, but all this is based on the suffering of the Arabs. Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon surrounding Palestine have reached an agreement to solve the Jewish problem by force.

On May 15, the day after Israel was founded, the Arab League began to raid Israel. Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and other countries sent 30,000 troops, as well as the Palestinian "Arab Volunteer Army" of 10,000 people. A total of 40,000 people went to war against Israel, and the first Middle East war broke out.

At this time, Israel had just been established for one day, and the so-called "army" in the country totaled 30,000 people. These people were not professional soldiers. The backbone of them were guerrillas who had been active in Palestine in the early years, plus some retired veterans who immigrated from Europe and America. The Arab coalition had more than 200 tanks, 140 artillery pieces of various types, and more than 100 aircraft. However, Israel had almost no heavy equipment. It was unable to fight back against the Arab coalition and quickly retreated on multiple fronts. In just one month, under the command of British military advisers, the Arabs suffered more than 2,000 casualties and occupied 80% of the Palestinian land. Israel's demise seemed to be certain.

At this time, the United States stood up and put pressure on Britain; Britain asked the Arabs to restrain themselves, and the Arabs agreed to a four-week ceasefire. It was these precious four weeks that completely changed the history of the first Middle East war and brought the new Israel back to life.

On June 11, the Arab-Israeli ceasefire began. Almost at the same time, Israel began to recruit troops and purchase weapons. The United States threatened Britain to stop immediately and stop supporting the Arabs, otherwise the United States would stop blood transfusions for Britain's post-war reconstruction. The British broke their teeth and swallowed it in their stomachs, and were forced to leave the Palestinian battlefield.

After the British left, the Americans openly sold weapons to Israel, and Israel received US dollars donated by Jews around the world to purchase weapons in Europe and America. With the tacit approval of the Soviet Union, Israel spent $15 million on weapons purchases in Czechoslovakia alone. American bombers, French tanks, artillery, and Czech guns and ammunition all arrived in Palestine by ship.

Domestically, Israel allows all young people between the ages of 17 and 25 to participate in military training, strong men between the ages of 25 and 45 serve immediately, and older citizens are incorporated into the militia to build fortifications. Abroad, a large number of Jews traveled thousands of miles to join the war, and the United States and the Soviet Union released some soldiers to fight in the Middle East.

In just one month, Israel's military strength has doubled to 70,000, and it is equipped with a large number of tanks, field artillery, bombers and heavy weapons. It has completely replaced guns with guns. However, the rival Arab coalition only increased its troops by 10,000 people after losing British support, and was already at a disadvantage in terms of military strength.

American Jewish pilots directly flew American planes to bomb the Afghan army. The Arabs thought it was the American regular army and immediately abandoned the city and fled.

Of course Zhang Zhan understood what his boss meant; the United States supported Israel so much back then, and Jews all over the world were willing to return home to fight. It seems unreasonable for Soviet soldiers to come to help Fucaira, but no one in this world can live with money.

As long as the Heiyun Group is willing to spend a lot of money, the Soviet soldiers, who are one of the most powerful armies in the world, are still willing to make this extra money.

Zhang Zhan: "I will make arrangements now and make sure everything is foolproof. There are currently more than 3,000 security team members coming, which has aroused Sharjah's vigilance. If the Soviets come, will it cause resentment in neighboring countries?"

In fact, it is normal to say this. After all, the Soviet Union is invading Afghanistan; the United Arab Emirates is so close to Afghanistan, so several emirates are not very friendly and recognize the Soviet Union.

Bao Zixuan: "Don't worry about this. None of them are Soviet soldiers. I will ask the group's staff in the Soviet Union to immediately recruit retired Soviet pilots; and let them enter the Soviet army for recovery training. At the same time, pilots who are about to retire can also advance Retirement; the Soviet Union’s huge military scale, even if only 1% of retired pilots are willing to come over, it is a mistake for the several emirates of the United Arab Emirates.”

Hearing this, Zhang Zhan was speechless; he knew that his boss had face in the Soviet Union, but he never expected that it would reach such a level. It is estimated that few people in the world can arrange for the Soviet army to help.

The relationships built up in the Soviet Union over the years are finally coming in handy. Moreover, Bao Zixuan didn't want to wait any longer and solved the problem at once while Ustinov was still the Minister of Defense.
