The Undead Empire That Travels Through the Multiverse

Chapter 18 National Defense Construction

The conditions offered by Chen Mo were attractive, and Anubis felt that he could not refuse.

But he didn't immediately agree to Chen Mo. After all, just as Chen Mo didn't trust them, these gods also didn't trust Chen Mo.

Therefore, although both parties have the intention to cooperate, they still have not reached a cooperation immediately.

Fortunately, time is the least important thing whether it is for necromancers or gods. Both parties have enough time to slowly discuss how to cooperate.

While Anubis was thinking about it, Chen Mo didn't stop what he was doing. He began to check Egypt's current national defense and army construction.

World War II is approaching. If you want to gain enough benefits in this war, then military power cannot be ignored anyway.

Especially knowing that the North African battlefield will become one of Germany's offensive directions in the future, Chen Mo paid more attention to the development of military power.

Egypt's own military industry has improved quite a bit in the past few years. Relying on the production equipment imported from the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as the technical data stored in the umbrella base and those researchers who were transformed into undead by Chen Mo, the equipment of the Egyptian army is still very good. of.

In the past few years, the original Egyptian army has been completely disbanded, reorganized together with the original Adebe tribe, and also recruited young and middle-aged Egyptians to join the army to form a modern army.

Their main equipment is still semi-automatic rifles and some Lee Enfields. After all, the Egyptian army used to use Lee Enfields. The output of semi-automatic rifles is still unable to meet the needs of all the troops, so some troops are still using Lee Enfields. .

As for other equipment, for an infantry squad of 12, the squad leader has a submachine gun, the squad has a light machine gun, a mortar, and four rocket launchers.

At the regiment level, there will also be an artillery company equipped with small-caliber infantry guns and an armored company equipped with wheeled tanks and armored vehicles. It looks like a 21st century composite regiment.

If it weren't for the fact that Egypt's industrial strength is still unable to manufacture helicopters, I am afraid that Chen Mo will equip them with helicopters.

But even so, there is indeed an army aviation establishment in the brigade and division level establishments, equipped with various types of aircraft imported from the United Kingdom.

As for tanks and armored vehicles, Chen Mo got a car production line from the United States and a tractor production line from Germany, and then asked the researchers of the umbrella to modify the two production lines so that they could produce armored vehicles and tanks.

The Egyptian army is currently mainly equipped with wheeled tanks and armored vehicles. It’s not that Chen Mo doesn’t want to build tracked tanks, but with Egypt’s current industrial level, tracked tanks are still beyond the scope of its capabilities. It is already possible to build some wheeled tanks. The limit is reached.

After all, in the final analysis, Egypt is just an agricultural country that has not been established for a few years, and it is transitioning to an industrial country.

Even if Chen Mo has the advanced technology brought from the world of Resident Evil, it is still not easy to transform these technologies into productivity.

Fortunately, relying on the efforts of undead laborers, Egypt's current industrialization process is very fast, and there are no surrounding countries capable of interfering with Egypt. International relations with powerful countries such as Britain and the United States are also good, providing good development for Egypt's industrialization surroundings.

Under such favorable conditions, according to the report obtained by Chen Mo, before the outbreak of World War II, Egypt could realize the independent production of military equipment such as aircraft and tanks, arm at least 200,000 modern troops, and achieve full mechanization.

For the Middle East, this can be said to be a blow to dimensionality reduction.

Chen Mo even planned to try to intervene in the Ethiopian war that would happen in the future after the deployment of the army was completed, so as to give Italy a good blow.

However, in addition to the armed forces, Chen Mo did not forget to develop the economy. After all, the modern army relies heavily on logistics to ensure its combat effectiveness, so Chen Mo also pays special attention to logistics.

In order to ensure the logistics of the army, Chen Mo not only paid attention to the construction of agricultural and industrial infrastructure, but also specially introduced an aircraft overhaul line from the United Kingdom to ensure that Egypt itself has the ability to assemble and repair, as well as produce some parts.

And Egypt's own aviation industry is also under construction under Chen Mo's personal supervision, but the current level of skilled workers is not good enough. Even if the British support the engineers, it is still not easy to manufacture qualified aero engines. matter.

Fortunately, according to statistical data, before 1935, Egypt could initially form the production capacity of the aviation industry and realize the independent production of qualified aircraft.

Coupled with the two aircraft carriers ordered by Chen Mo from the UK, as long as the Germans do not launch large-scale air battles like the UK when they launch an offensive in North Africa in the future, Egypt can still defend its airspace with its current military strength.

The two aircraft carriers that Chen Mo ordered from the United Kingdom adopted the same design as the Ark Royal and the Glory that the United Kingdom is planning to build, but some improvements were made according to Chen Mo's requirements to meet the needs of the special environment in the Middle East.

According to the plan, the two aircraft carriers will be deployed in the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea respectively, and will be stationed in Alexandria Port and Suez Port respectively.

In addition to the destroyers and frigates that have been successively purchased from the United Kingdom in recent years, two aircraft carrier battle groups will be formed after the two aircraft carriers enter service to protect Egypt's territorial security in the Red Sea and the Mediterranean.

Out of consideration for the safety of the Suez Canal, the British supported the plan proposed by Egypt. Not only did the domestic shipyards start building two aircraft carriers at the same time, but they also offered to help Egypt train pilots and donated a batch of aircraft carriers. Carrier.

In order to thank the British and at the same time prevent the British from playing the trick of delaying the construction period when building the ship, Chen Mo also specially presented two mermaids to the UK as gifts in his own name.

The British were flattered by this. After the two mermaids arrived in London, they almost attracted thousands of people. The British royal family specially allocated funds to build a park and an indoor aquarium, in order to give these two legendary mermaids Creatures create a good living environment.

It can be said that the British showed unprecedented love for the two mermaids. For this reason, the British government also deliberately waived the final payment for the two aircraft carriers ordered by Chen Mo.

Although the Egyptian government has already paid most of the money, the waiver of the final payment still saves a lot of financial expenses. The saved funds are enough to buy another destroyer. It is very good to be able to save.
