The conditions offered by Chen Mo were tempting, and Anubis felt that he could not refuse.
But he didn't agree to Chen Mo immediately. After all, just as Chen Mo didn't trust them, they gods also didn't trust Chen Mo.
Therefore, although both parties had the intention to cooperate, they still did not reach cooperation immediately.
Fortunately, time is the least important thing for both the necromancer and the gods. Both parties have enough time to slowly discuss how to cooperate.
While Anubis was thinking about it, Chen Mo did not stop what he was doing. He began to examine Egypt's current national defense and military construction.
World War II is coming, and if you want to obtain sufficient benefits in this war, military power cannot be ignored under any circumstances.
Especially knowing that the North African battlefield would 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 recent 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 the 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, Egypt's original army has been completely disbanded and reorganized together with the original Adebe tribe. Young and middle-aged Egyptians have also been recruited 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 production of semi-automatic rifles cannot yet meet the needs of all the army, so some troops are still using Lee Enfields.
.
As for other equipment, for a 12-man infantry squad, 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, which looks like a combined regiment in the 21st century.
If Egypt's industrial strength hadn't been able to build helicopters now, I'm afraid Chen Mo would have equipped them with helicopters.
But even so, at the brigade and division level, there is indeed a military aviation establishment, 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 scientific researchers of 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 its capabilities. It is already possible to build some wheeled tanks.
It's the limit.
After all, in the final analysis, Egypt is just an agricultural country that has only been founded a few years ago and is transitioning to an industrial country.
Even though Chen Mo has advanced technologies brought from the world of Resident Evil, it is still not easy to turn these technologies into productivity.
Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of the undead labor, Egypt's current industrialization process is very fast, and no surrounding countries have the ability to interfere with Egypt. International relations with powerful countries such as Britain and the United States are also good, providing good development for Egypt's industrialization.
environment.
Under such favorable conditions, according to reports obtained by Chen Mo, before the outbreak of World War II, Egypt could achieve independent production of aircraft, tanks and other military equipment, arm at least 200,000 modern troops, and achieve full mechanization.
For the Middle East, this can be said to be a dimensionality reduction blow.
Chen Mo even plans to try to intervene in the Ethiopian war that will happen in the future after the army is installed, so as to give Italy a good beating.
However, besides the armed forces, Chen Mo did not forget to develop the economy. After all, the modern army relies heavily on logistics to ensure combat effectiveness, so Chen Mo also paid special attention to logistics.
In order to ensure the logistics of the army, Chen Mo not only paid attention to agricultural and industrial infrastructure, but also specially introduced an aircraft overhaul line from the United Kingdom to ensure that Egypt had the ability to assemble and repair, as well as produce some parts.
Egypt's own aviation industry is also under intensive construction under the personal supervision of Chen Mo. However, the current level of technical workers is not good enough. Even if the British support the engineers, it is still not easy to build a qualified aero engine.
matter.
Fortunately, according to statistical data, before 1935, Egypt could initially form aviation industry production capabilities and achieve independent production of qualified aircraft.
Coupled with the two aircraft carriers that Chen Mo ordered from Britain, as long as the Germans do not launch large-scale air battles like they did against Britain when they launch offensives 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 use the same design as the Ark Royal and Glory that the United Kingdom is planning to build, but some improvements have been made in accordance with some of Chen Mo's requirements to meet the use 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, stationed in Alexandria and Suez respectively.
In addition to the destroyers and frigates that have been purchased from the United Kingdom in recent years, two aircraft carrier battle groups will be formed after the two aircraft carriers are commissioned to protect Egypt's territorial security in the Red Sea and the Mediterranean.
Out of concern for the safety of the Suez Canal, the British strongly supported Egypt's plan. Not only did they allow domestic shipyards to start building two aircraft carriers at the same time, they also offered to help Egypt train pilots and donated a number of ships as a gift.
Carrier aircraft.
In order to thank the British and at the same time to prevent the British from playing tricks to delay the construction period when building ships, Chen Mo also specially gave two mermaids to the British as gifts in a private 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 for these two legendary mermaids.
Organisms create a good living environment.
It can be said that the British showed unprecedented love for these two mermaids. For this reason, the British government also specifically waived the final payment for the two aircraft carriers ordered by Chen Mo.
Although the Egyptian government has paid most of the payment, waiving the balance still saves a lot of money financially. The money saved is enough to buy another destroyer. It is good to be able to save.
