Starting as an arms dealer, I am the overlord in South America

(Uploaded a picture of the 7 divisions of the Colombian army stationed!)

"Are there enough troops?"

Louis felt that the troops were a bit tight. There were more than 7,000 people, and the towns occupied along the way had to be garrisoned. After all, if you don't leave people to garrison in the newly occupied areas, they will surrender to the government army in a blink of an eye.

"It is definitely enough to face the enemy head-on. In addition to our own people, I plan to bring the prisoners with us this time, forming three regiments, totaling more than 3,000 people, to cooperate in the operation."

When he heard that there were more than 3,000 prisoners participating in this operation, Louis's brows relaxed.

However, he still planned to strengthen the reserve firepower, planned to purchase several fighter planes to seize air superiority, and he also planned to set up an army brigade for troop projection and fire support.

"Since you are confident, then proceed according to your battle plan."

Upon hearing this, Gavin immediately stood up and shouted,"Yes, boss!"

After the meeting, Gavin left.

Louis also called Elro:"Get ready, I'm going to the airport."

Elro nodded, then turned around to gather people.

When Louis walked out of the villa, five Toyota SUVs had been parked, and more than a dozen special forces soldiers were fully armed.

Elro opened the door of the middle SUV and Louis got in.

The bodyguards also got into their cars, and soon the convoy drove out of the manor and headed towards the airport.

Half an hour later, the convoy drove into the airport.

The convoy stopped at the terminal.

Except for two Apache armed helicopters parked, there was no aircraft in the entire airport.

It was dark and visibility was low, just right for hiding.

Louis 05s opened the system mall.

First, he gave The system recharged 1 billion US dollars.

His personal treasury shrunk by 1 billion in an instant.

Not to mention, since he decided to compete for hegemony, his treasury has shrunk seriously. Before returning to Columbia, there were 8.5 billion US dollars, and now his personal treasury is only 7.3 billion.

He found the Apache attack helicopter, 11.5 million US dollars per helicopter.

Louis thought about it and decided to buy 24 Apaches for fire assault. 24 helicopters are just enough to equip a battalion.

The main function of the Army Aviation Brigade is to deploy troops. In addition, it is also responsible for air assault, fire strikes, special operations, reconnaissance and other tasks. With 24 Apaches, the fire support is strong enough.

24 Z-10 armed helicopters, used as fire reconnaissance battalions, one Z-10 costs 2.5 million US dollars, which is much cheaper than the Apache. One Apache can buy four Z-10s. Although its firepower is not as good as that of the Apache, it is still very suitable as an armed reconnaissance helicopter.

For transport helicopters, after struggling between the Z-20 and the Black Hawk, two general-purpose transport helicopters, he finally decided to use the Black Hawk. Although it is a little more expensive and its avionics equipment is not as good as the Z-20, its advanced avionics equipment has no place to be used at the moment. What is needed to deal with government forces is firepower.

The Black Hawk can carry Hellfire missiles, and its payload is much greater than that of the Z-20. In terms of price, the Black Hawk is not much more expensive than the Z-20. Each Black Hawk helicopter costs 4.5 million US dollars. He bought 48 at once as two general-purpose support battalions.

In addition, he also bought 12 CH-53E Super Stallion heavy helicopters, mainly for transporting equipment, weapons and ammunition, etc., of course. It can transport combat soldiers and is multi-purpose.

The price is much more expensive than the Black Hawk, with a price of 7.5 million US dollars, which is almost the price of two Z-20s. Fortunately, only 12 are equipped. Not counting the additional weapons and ammunition, the Army Aviation Brigade formed by Louis, the vehicle alone is as high as 642 million US dollars.

It has to be said that the Army Aviation Brigade is indeed not something that ordinary people can afford.

Next, it is to recruit pilots, 200 helicopter pilots, 5,000 US dollars per person, and spent 1 million US dollars.

For the rapid reaction force, he did not choose ordinary soldiers. To a certain extent, the Army Aviation Rapid Reaction Force is actually used as a spearhead, often deep into the enemy's rear for raids, which is actually a bit similar to special operations, but the organization is larger.

The special forces are mainly decapitation, and the Army Aviation Rapid Reaction Force can not only decapitation, but also seize important targets.

So as for the soldiers, he considered it and chose the special forces.

Anyway, he is now rich and can afford it.

Just like the equipment of the local tyrant brigade in his previous life.

He was willing to spend 1 billion US dollars to build a rich aviation brigade. He directly recruited 1,100 people and organized them into a regiment (2 battalions), referred to as the special service regiment, which cost him another 5.5 million US dollars. This is just the people, not including weapons and equipment.

Including vehicles, weapons and ammunition, the entire aviation brigade cost him 663 million US dollars.

Although the price is expensive, the firepower is full.

24 Apaches, 24 Z-10s, 48 Black Hawks, 12 Super Stallions, a total of 108 armed helicopters, with this firepower configuration, even if they encounter a US Army Aviation Brigade, it will be a complete victory, unless it is a US Army Heavy Aviation Brigade, otherwise it will be directly crushed.

The Aviation Brigade is solved.

Louis also plans to establish an air force to control air power while providing fire support for ground forces and bombing important and valuable targets.

There are many options for fighter jets.

For the current situation in Colombia, Louis feels that there is no need to choose too good fighter jets, just enough and cost-effective.

According to this standard, after selecting fighters, he finally chose the Xiaolong Block 3. The reason is very simple. The system price of a Xiaolong Block 3 is only 1.7 million US dollars, while the system price of an F16 is 3 million US dollars.

The price is half of that of the F16.

Xiaolong 3 is enough to deal with the war in Colombia and even the entire Latin American region.

After all, there are still very few countries in the world that use fourth-generation aircraft (Russian standard).

In this case, quantity is more important than quality. (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Moreover, in beyond-visual-range combat, in addition to radar and stealth, the range of air-to-air missiles is the most important. After all, the difference in radar is not very large. When both sides discover each other, the range of missiles becomes more important.

Therefore, he bought 12 Xiaolong 3s at a time, spending 20.4 million US dollars.

The air-to-air missiles directly abandoned the American and Russian ones and directly selected the Dragon country's Thunderbolt series.

In terms of air-to-air missiles, Dragon country is not inferior to the other two major countries.

There are three types: PILI 10, PILI 12 and PILI 15[]

Among them, the range of PL-10 is 30 kilometers, the range of PL-12 is 100 kilometers, and the range of PL-15 reaches 200 kilometers.

Among them, the price of PL-10 is 50,000 US dollars per piece, PL-12 is 200,000 US dollars, and PL-15 is 500,000 US dollars. At present, the range of the Sidewinder AIM-9M used by the US military is only 18 kilometers, and the range of AIM-54 Dead Bird is 135 kilometers.

Faced with this situation, Louis's idea is to buy all three types of PL.

A small amount of PL-15 is generally not needed, as long as it is used against the US military. It is enough to have a large warehouse of PL-12 and PL-10.

After thinking about it, he finally bought 500 PL-10s, 200 PL-12s, and 100 PL-15s, spending a total of 115 million US dollars.

This has air-to-air missiles, and air-to-ground missiles are also needed to hit ground targets.

I directly chose the Baoshi-2 laser-guided bomb from Longguo. I didn't have too many requirements for the bomb, as long as it was cheap and accurate. The system price was only $5,000 per bomb, which was cheaper than some rockets.

I bought 1,000 bombs in one go.

I don't need anti-ship missiles for the time being, but I can buy them when I really need them.

Weapons and equipment are available, and the rest are positions such as pilots, ground crew and mechanics. Among them, 24 pilots were recruited, and 200 others were recruited. The total cost was less than $1 million.

I looked at the list and it turned out that I spent $860 million.

More than half of the $1 billion I recharged was gone.

"System, all the weapons and equipment I just purchased and the recruits I just recruited are now available at the airport"

"Ding, the manifestation is successful."

Looking at the continuous appearance of weapons and equipment, as well as personnel, Louis has become accustomed to it.

Looking at the fully armed soldiers of the Army Aviation Rapid Reaction Force, Louis showed a satisfied expression. Looking at the rows of 12 neatly arranged Xiaolong fighters and the hundreds of armed helicopters placed on the apron on one side, Louis was instantly full of pride. At this time, even if he was asked to go to war with Columbia, he had the confidence.

The next morning.

Louis was at the headquarters and officially announced that Gavin 467 would serve as the commander-in-chief of the National Army and Minister of Defense, and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general.

Corey served as the commander of the army and was awarded the rank of major general.

Bosney served as the chief of staff and was awarded the rank of major general.

Appointed Ed as the director of the National Intelligence Bureau, which is the special intelligence department, also known as"Crane's Li", abbreviated as HL.

Appointed Moros as the head of the"Shadow Special Forces". The so-called Shadow Special Forces are the 200 people under Moros before, responsible for carrying out decapitation missions.

Appointed Barritt (newly recruited) as the commander of the Air Force and awarded the rank of Air Force Major General.

Appointed Reynolds as the commander of the Navy and awarded the rank of Rear Admiral of the Navy

Although he did not recruit the navy, he controlled several patrol boats in the naval port when he occupied Cartagena.���Appoint the death squad as the main position.

Build the framework first, and then slowly increase it later.

After the appointment, Luis did not attend the subsequent combat meetings.

In the evening.

At the Cartagena military camp, the soldiers of the 1st Regiment were gathering, and various combat weapons, ammunition and materials were moved from the warehouse to the transport vehicles.

Airport.

The ground crew was also refueling and mounting ammunition on the Xiaolong 3 fighter jets. There is no doubt that they will serve as the vanguard to carry out air strikes on the enemy's main targets, such as oil depots, ammunition depots and other important facilities.

In the open space of Area B of the airport, the Army Aviation Brigade is also making final preparations. The crew will be responsible for transporting the rapid reaction force, that is, the special service regiment, to the Ernesto Airport in Barranquilla.

After sending the special service regiment to the airport, they will also provide firepower to carry out a second round of firepower strikes on important enemy strongholds and artillery positions. The

6th Regiment of the Central Army and the 7th Regiment of the Right Army have set out according to their respective goals and are moving along the road.

Fortunately, the coastal areas of Columbia are mostly plains and hills, with only a few being mountainous, so the marching speed is very fast.

The entire national army entered a high-speed operation state.
