Of course, Umbrella's mercenaries cannot be said to have high military qualities. Whether in movies or games, they basically serve as backgrounds or as characters who provide experience to the protagonist.
But in terms of individual combat capabilities, Umbrella's mercenaries still have no problem.
It's definitely not possible to let them command operations, but there is no problem in using them to train the army.
In terms of military weapons, although Ambreda does not specialize in arms, and the military equipment in the base that Chen Mo obtained is not the most advanced among the ordnance of the same era, but in this era, it is completely technological.
The crushing brought about by difference.
Although the production line in the base controlled by Chen Mo is not large and can only produce some munitions on a small scale, and can at most support a small-scale war with a light intensity, there is also a high-precision machining workshop in the base. Chen Mo
Mexico can completely use it to produce new lathes and production equipment, and build new arsenals to mass-produce military equipment.
Of course, this also requires a certain industrial foundation before it can be done. Egypt's current industrial strength is not enough to support a large arsenal. Everything can only be done with infrastructure construction first.
As for the British saying that they would provide ordnance and military instructors to help Chen Mo train a modern army, Chen Mo believes that the British must be sincere and will indeed train him an army that meets the requirements.
.
But if a country's military and national defense construction is in the hands of outsiders, is this army its own army or someone else's army?
Especially since you have to rely on others to provide even weapons and equipment. What if someone jams your neck during a war?
Not to mention that Chen Mo still hopes to take back the Suez Canal when the military strength is strong enough. If the army is trained by the British and the ordnance is provided by the British, Chen Mo will also take back the management rights of the canal!
For Chen Mo, he needs to reduce the British influence on Egypt as much as possible. After all, the British have controlled Egypt for decades. If it were not for the First World War, the British suffered too much and had to give up some of their rights in Egypt to ensure Suez.
Control of the canal, I'm afraid Egypt is still part of the British Empire.
The current British Empire has gradually recovered from the losses of World War I, relying on the blood transfusion of its huge colonies. Although its glory is no longer there, it is still a world-class established power.
That is to say, the United States, an emerging economic power, can challenge Britain's status, but other countries have not yet been able to challenge Britain's world hegemony.
As for taking back the management and control of the Suez Canal in the future, it will have to wait until after World War II, when Britain has completely declined and has developed again. This will be the most appropriate time.
Before that, what he had to do was to temporarily make excuses with the British, and at the same time establish relations with the Du Pont family through Mr. Burns, the former Du Pont family, and then win over the Americans as backup to develop Egypt's economy and military.
, prepare for the coming World War II.
Although the world was crossed by Chen Mo, the development of history is inevitable. The Germans will not give up taking back what they lost in World War I just because of Chen Mo's influence on the world.
.
In other words, when the First World War ended and Britain and France chose to carve up the world at the Paris Peace Conference, the hidden dangers of the Second World War were already laid.
For Chen Mo, he has no idea of eliminating war in the world. All he wants to do is to save as much strength as possible before the war breaks out, so that when the war breaks out, he will have enough strength to invest.
Enter this largest war in human history and steal enough benefits for yourself.
Apart from anything else, at least after the war, it is necessary to assume the status of a victorious country and establish its influence on surrounding areas. Becoming a regional hegemon, or even the sixth place in the future, is not out of reach.
.
As a time traveler and a person from the future, one of the biggest benefits is that you know the direction of history and future development, so you can avoid many detours.
————————————
After the incident in Cairo was over, Mr. Burns and his two friends relied on British connections to obtain shipping tickets back to the United States.
Before they left, Chen Mo gave them some gold and silver vessels from the underground of Hamna Tower, so that they did not return empty-handed.
After the Burns trio accepted the gifts given to them by Chen Mo, they also promised with great gratitude that after returning to the United States, they would contact the DuPont family and ask them to send someone to discuss cooperation with Chen Mo.
.
This is what Burns agreed to do. After he returned to the United States, he did contact the powerful figures in the DuPont family through his mother's relationship and told the current powerful figures in the DuPont family about Chen Mo's search for cooperation.
The DuPont family was naturally very interested in what Burns said.
The United States is now in its most prosperous golden age, and the DuPont family's industry is expanding like a balloon. At this time, they only worry about finding a place to invest, so how can they refuse an opportunity for cooperation?
What's more, it's an olive branch handed over by a new leader in a country. This is also an opportunity worth taking seriously for the DuPont family.
After all, the United States is not yet the world's hegemon, and DuPont is not a big trust that can hire people to fly at every turn. The opportunity to expand its business to Egypt is something that the DuPont family cannot give up.
For this matter, Pierre Samuel Dupont, Burns' mother's cousin, one of the current leaders of the DuPont family, and one of the three DuPont ZTE giants who was talked about by later generations, personally rushed to Egypt from the United States.
I hope to have an interview with Chen Mo in person.
This is an opportunity to cooperate with a country, especially a country that has just changed its ruler.
Because of Burns' recommendation, Pierre was quickly summoned by Chen Mo.
Although Chen Mo has not given himself a title such as king or president, as the current de facto ruler of Egypt, he still has the appropriate pomp and circumstance.
In the palace built by the original Egyptian royal family, Chen Mo met with the leader of the Dupont family.
Facing the leader of the DuPont family, Chen Mo didn't treat him too politely. He just exchanged a few words and then went straight to the point and asked: "I want to build a large petrochemical plant in Egypt. A large-scale petrochemical plant."
Arsenal and a large shipyard, I wonder if the DuPont family can provide support and help? Or should I directly look for the US government?"
