King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Joe Ga has always been very dissatisfied with the pettiness of the French...

He helped the French Naval Group secure the destroyer refurbishment business in Greece, and was still assisting with the UAE's air force procurement project. Yet, when the Yemen war was about to start, these guys only brought two Horizon-class destroyers...

Horizon-class destroyers are certainly good ships, but the vertical launch bays on those two ships were only half loaded with missiles, and they were all anti-aircraft missiles.

The guns were fully loaded, but how far can a 75mm gun shoot?

These bastards are clearly here just to make a token showing!

The Americans' Zumwalt, even though it hasn't brought missile-launching guns, won't give up its missiles in the vertical launch bays for P.B., but has plenty of 155mm guided shells.

Those bastards cooking the books to launder equipment are feeling guilty, so they sent two Zumwalts here, supposedly to 'retaliate' against Al Qaeda for the terrorist attacks.

America has its own demands, England and Russia are just here for show, but they haven't seen any benefits and it's normal for them not to exert themselves, but you France swallowed the benefits yet still play tricks, that's just too despicable.

Asking for Mistral-class amphibious assault ships is purely asking for sky-high prices while adding blockage for Noto, but if this guy doesn't give some explanation, Boss Qiao will make the blockage real.

Noto is a businessman and quickly understood Boss Qiao's point of dissatisfaction.

The French navy wasn't strong enough, dragging him down too.

There's no way around it...

The French navy's ammunition is always halved when leaving port, not because the navy doesn't want to, but because budget issues make everyone stressed.

If not to maintain the dignity of a major power, France wouldn't even want the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier.

Noto thought that it would be necessary to have Northern Industries land first and then cover their gradual unloading from cargo ships...

Put in that way, there isn't too much of an issue, but all of the effects add up over time.

You start weakly when disembarking, then fighting will stagnate later...

The media supremacy is in Boss Qiao's hands; in future long-term fights, soldiers are almost certain to complain, but if they only show images of complaints from these two, the outcome could be disastrous.

Thinking about this, Noto was filled with frustration he couldn't vent; he was very clear that this was Boss Qiao expressing his dissatisfaction with several large French groups.

The Naval Equipment Group took profits and dropped their tasks, while the Air Force's Dassault still had places to ask for favors to sell goods, but the Army Equipment Group was even worse, their sponsored synthetic camp was in Boss Qiao's hands...

This covers France's super giants in army, navy, and air force, yet couldn't make the Gauls pay more attention to Yemen, it's no wonder Boss Qiao is angry.

Noto glanced at Chiell, who seemed somewhat upset because he was implicated, sighed, and said, "Sir, what do you want? As long as the Army Equipment Group has it, I can arrange it, but Mistral-class amphibious assault ships are impossible..."

Joe Ga sneered and said, "Why would I want your equipment? Am I short of that?

I give you a task, whether you steal or rob, get me some more C-130 transport planes."

Noto exchanged glances with Chiell and instantly understood Boss Qiao's intentions...

Not only does he want to storm the beaches, but he also plans an air-ground integrated attack to seize airports and establish strongholds, while locals set layer defense on land, inserting a wedge into their deeper positions.

As long as the airport is held, there will be a continuous flow of soldiers and supplies arriving through air transport.

Then it depends on the enemy's arrangements...

If their deep defense isn't strong enough, this unit can continue powerful advancements.

If the enemy's defense is relatively strong, then turn around and strike, teaming up with landing forces to take out those horizontally defending on both sides of Mukalla.

Understanding Boss Qiao's ambition, Noto wasn't sure what to feel, but he was very clear that such a large-scale integrated air-ground battle, France would not be able to succeed without more than half a year of preparation.

As a NATO member, they have become accustomed to using air forces to destroy enemy resistance, then leveraging other countries for landing operations.

Actually, someone suggested to Boss Qiao to use Aden, controlled by the Yemeni government forces, as a stepping stone for land attacks on Muladin.

But Boss Qiao rejected this proposal!

Landing from Aden seems simple, but Aden is over 500 kilometers away from Mukalla, and several cities lie in between, two of which are in Al Qaeda-controlled zones.

It's not impossible to wipe them out, but it would take a long time.

Breaking through terrorist-controlled cities to attack Mukalla, the land supply lines could be cut off at any time, and losses in time and personnel are unpredictable.

NATO members are used to an advantageous start, then using hard power to push the enemy, i.e., throwing money, resources, equipment, and lives.

Boss Qiao doesn't have that strength, so he chose to forcefully attack Mukalla, and if the city can't be taken initially, taking the port and airport would allow fighting all around with the enemy, fully utilizing the mobility and attack strength of the synthetic camp.

With sea and air superiority, this approach is tough at the beginning, but the follow-up progress would be quick.

Looking at Boss Qiao's serious expression, Noto gritted his teeth, nodded, and said, "Sir, in this aspect, I can help. I should be able to get 4 C-130s..."
