I want to be a warlord

In fact, Wang Zhen has long wanted to update his equipment.

He must admit that the armed pickup truck is very useful, and he also admits that the armored vehicle that he originally converted from a box truck is also very useful.

But this matter was different at the time. At that time, what was pursued was practicality, but now if you want to become a big force, face is more important.

Of course, no matter what, a serious armored vehicle is definitely better than the thing modified by oneself.

Finally, there is the Air Force. The T-50 is very useful, but it cannot replace helicopters!

There was no need to hide the surprise on Abdulezak Cordoba's face, "Dear King, do you still want to buy M-80A for armored vehicles?"

"What suggestions do you have?" Wang Zhen and Lao Liu looked at each other.

"It depends on your needs."

"I am in South Sunakisot, as you know. The two armored vehicles I purchased this time are mainly for urban security. I also have cement plants, mines and other businesses there. Once I encounter It's dangerous and requires armored vehicles for patrol or support." Wang Zhen briefly introduced.

"Then my suggestion is the Milosh Type 2 military and police transport vehicle." Abdulezak Cordoba said directly: "10 people, 4X4 off-road, maximum speed of 100 kilometers per hour, off-road speed of 30 kilometers , fuel consumption per 35 kilometers is 600, maximum range is 0.5 kilometers, vertical obstacle crossing 0.8, water wading 0.9, trench crossing 0.4, road clearance 3, equipped with three 20mm Kerber remote control weapon stations, the weapon station's sighting system integrates the effective range 80-5000 meter laser range finder, 36x optical zoom daytime camera, fierce firepower, mounted on 4 infrared white light cameras to support night operations."

“正面装甲可抵挡12.7毫米穿甲弹，侧面可抵挡7.62钨钢芯穿甲弹，7公斤TNT当量防雷标准，北约4569标准2A/2B级别。”

"Advantages, large crew, strong firepower, and good bulletproof capabilities."

"Disadvantages: single firepower, no air defense capabilities, no anti-tank capabilities, and no ability to attack fortresses."

"Of course, these are not impossible to solve, but more money will have to be spent."

With one sentence, all three of them laughed.

Abdulezak Cordoba said with a smile: “For example, the weapon station can be equipped with a dual-axis stabilization system, and a 40mm automatic grenade launcher and six 82mm smoke launchers can be installed at the rear. Anti-tank or anti-aircraft missile launchers.”

"Alternatively, the three 3mm cannons can be replaced by one anti-aircraft machine gun with a pitch angle of -20°/+5°."

"This mainly depends on your use. If it is simply used as an original for patrolling and fire support in the city, it is enough. This thing is not used to deal with tanks on the battlefield. After all, it is in the city. The attack capability can be supplemented by RPG firepower. "

"What about the price?" Wang Zhen asked with a smile.

"Original $58."

"What about the one with four anti-aircraft missile launchers?"

"$88 million."

"Sending missiles?"

"Haha, Wang, that's a great joke, but it's a pity."

"How much does it cost to equip missiles?"

"246."

Wang Zhen almost rolled his eyes to his forehead, it was so expensive.

I think back then, the US-supported Stinger 2 for Ah Qionghan cost only US$4 apiece. Now, I heard that Wanwan’s purchase price was as high as US$200 million apiece some time ago...

Well...if you look at it this way, the Serbian ones are pretty cheap.

But what kind of record is Stinger? Serbia's anti-aircraft missiles have no record at all.

Looking at it this way, we might as well think about whether we can use our connections to purchase some stingers from the United States.

In the short term, Wang Zhen does not feel that he will face threats from the air force, so, "Let's use the 40mm automatic grenade launcher, plus six smoke launchers."

"$75, equipped with a base amount of ammunition."

"OK." Wang Zhen nodded, "Two original versions and one with added content."

"Should we consider Lazar Type 3 again..."

"Forget it, I have no money, I still want to purchase your little antelope." Wang Zhen quickly stopped Cordoba, "I am a private person, a private PMC company, not the government of a certain country."

Cordoba was stunned for a moment and took a deep look at Wang Zhen, his eyes full of regret. He had previously thought that Wang Zhen was purchasing on behalf of the South Soviet government army.

"Wang, you have a good vision. The Gazelle is the most cost-effective light armed helicopter. Serbia is the country with the most Gazelle equipment in the world besides Britain and France. At that time, France's Airbus authorized our Sokol aircraft manufacturing plant to produce it. We have produced more than 100 small antelopes and have a complete set of production technologies." Cordoba quickly calmed down and introduced it nonstop.

Although the Gazelle is an armed helicopter from the 70s, it is small in size, light in weight, fast, and has fierce firepower. Since its birth, it has been active on the battlefield. Even compared with the Apache, its efficiency is lower than Still excellent.

The most important thing is that the parts for this thing are very easy to buy!

"Okay, Cordoba, we all know the pros and cons. Let's talk about the price. You are all second-hand antelopes now!" Wang Zhen waved and said with a smile.

“120万美元，服役12年的，包括两挺前射 7. 62毫米机枪和一门安装在右侧的20毫米机炮，包括我们SA342L的特有改装，四联装AT-3反坦克导弹发射架和2个SA-7空空导弹发射架。”

"Forget it, forget it, you should keep the AT3 or something for yourselves. I would rather reduce the weight and install a winch." Wang Zhen rolled his eyes. This technology is from the 50s. Bring it back and use it as a winch. Is it for antiques?

"I think two SA-7 air-to-air missiles are enough!"

Cordoba sighed with regret, "Okay, 175 million."

Wang Zhen was speechless. Then I don’t want it either. “It’s still 180 million, but I want it to be replaced with a small bomb rack.”

"no problem."

"Sam-7 missile?"

"35 pieces."

"I want two small gazelles. They must be inspected and repaired. I don't want to find that they are paralyzed immediately after I get them back!" Wang Zhen stared at Cordoba and said: "Besides, as a 12-year-old aunt, I can't possibly I hope he won’t have any problems at all, so you are responsible for helping me find three maintenance personnel and some vulnerable parts. Of course, I will pay the salary.”

Cordoba thought about the agency fee he could get, and agreed, "No problem."

After doing some calculation, the equipment purchase totaled 574 million U.S. dollars. Wang Zhen said with a smile: "If you round up 580 million U.S. dollars, give me 20 rounds of 12.7 mm and mm ammunition."

The corner of Cordoba's mouth twitched, and he really wanted to ask Wang Zhen if he knew he charged extra for 20mm cannon bullets!

After thinking about it, this is a big customer after all. Including the machine tools and equipment discussed before, the total amount exceeds more than 1800 million US dollars.

So Cordoba still nodded and responded: "No problem, I will arrange the shipment as soon as possible."

"I want to thank the technicians for coming along."

"No problem, leave it to me. The employment situation has been very bad in recent years. Many people can't find jobs!"

After the business was settled, the atmosphere suddenly became better again. Wang and Zhen stayed in Serbia for another two days, and finally chartered a special plane to go straight to Juba with a dejected look.

After getting off the plane, Wang Zhen asked Lao Liu to go back to Najishot by himself. He was also planning to go to Kiel tomorrow.

Firstly, he was concerned about the loan from the African Union, and secondly, the cement factory and hydropower station were about to be completed, and he had to ask Kiir to cut the ribbon. …

"Are you kidding me? How did the money come out so fast?" Keir looked at Wang Zhen in amusement.

"So I can get a loan." Wang Zhen's eyes lit up, "I knew that Najishot's achievements are obvious to all!"

Gere smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"How much is the loan? What is the collateral?"

"$2 million, credit plus taxes."

"Ah? Taxation? Don't think it's Najishot's taxation, right?" Wang Zhen raised his eyebrows.

Kil chuckled, otherwise.

"You're talking nonsense." Wang Zhen stood up suddenly, "Two hundred million, how much does it cost every year in interest alone? Najishot is in a time when everything is in dire need, and the municipal government's revenue has to be invested in infrastructure construction. How is this possible? Able to repay the loan!”

"Well, unless you give me all the $200 million!"

"Did your attitude change too quickly?" Kiel said with some humor: "Of course it won't all be blamed on Nagishot. My plan is to set up a highway company and set up toll stations after building the highway. , to raise funds to repay loans and maintain roads.”

“This road doesn’t cost that much!”

"I plan to rebuild the entire 295-kilometer stretch from Kapoeta to Juba, plus your Najishot extension, to open up a transportation line in the Equatoria state in the Middle East." Kiir is still quite ambitious. We count on Wangzhen for everything. To boost the economy, we must do it as a whole.

"What's the point of Capoeta? Is the population now 7000?" Wang Zhen curled his lips.

"After all, it connects the largest cities on the border with Kenya. It will also be good for you to open up the transportation line." Keir said with a smile.

"Are you ready to give up on the Elemi Triangle?" Wang Zhen suddenly asked.

The Elami Triangle is a disputed territory between South Sudan, Kenya and Ethiopia.

The dispute stems from the ambiguous boundaries surrounding Lake Turkana during the Japanese Empire.

Well, most of the disputed territories around the world are unclear boundaries intentionally created by shit-makers, such as Kashmir.

When it comes to stirring up shit, the shit stick is very good at stirring up shit.

It is precisely because of the territorial disputes in this region that the relations between the three countries have not been good.

On the current map of China, the border line was demarcated by British Captain Philip Mudd in 1902, so it is also called the "Mudd Line". According to this internationally recognized boundary line, this territory belongs to South Sudan.

And Najishot is very close to the border.

But in fact, the most powerful people in this region are the Turkana ethnic group supported by Kenya and the Dassanech ethnic group supported by Ethiopia.

The Toposa, Buya and Nyangatom ethnic groups belonging to South Sudan are relatively weak.

The last time Wang Zhen drove an armored vehicle under the escort of the US military, he crossed the border here. At that time, the Kenyan army was more strictly guarded, and the South Sudanese side was almost useless.

Fion Ort's lair, the criminal city Nemou, is located in this area.

"When we were fighting for independence, I made some agreements with Kenya. They remained neutral and secretly supported some weapons, while I gave up the region." Kiir said with a frown.

As a leader of a country, if you voluntarily give up part of your territory to others, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame.

"If there is a saying that if you are poor, you will put aside the controversy, and if you are rich, you will have it since ancient times." Wang Zhen said in a faint voice.

"We have to wait until South Sudan develops!" Kiel sighed.

"As long as you have an idea, this area is not very peaceful anyway. Even if you are willing to give up, Ethiopia is not willing to give up." Wang Zhen chuckled.

Well, Wang Zhen is also coveting this area. In disputed areas, whoever has the final say has always had the final say. The only problem now is that there are no minerals in this area yet...

Controversy attracts light, oil breeds mold.

"If I have a chance, I will provide some weapons to the tribes over there." Kil sighed.

How could he really be willing to give up even though the international community recognized that this place belonged to Southern Suzhou? Although no valuable minerals were found here, there was a swamp area with abundant water and grass, which was very suitable for animal husbandry.

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Seeing that Keir was not very interested, Wang Zhen changed the subject at the right time, "How does the government want to build this section of road?"

"I definitely mean to look for China." Kiir said with a smile: "Not only in South Sudan, but in fact, most of the infrastructure projects in Africa are won by Chinese companies. The construction is indeed fast, good and cheap. .”

"However, this is different from the road from Nimulay to Juba, which is in Central Equatoria state, but most of the road from Kapoeta to Juba is in Eastern Equatoria state,"

“The governor of Eastern Equatoria State, Luis Robben Rogel, is from Lotuso. Although most of the Eastern Equatoria State government is under the control of our faction, you have to understand that even I can’t let the forced surrender be achieved. Interests."

Wang Zhen frowned. Why did he feel like he was being plotted by Keir?

The ethnic issues in Eastern Equatoria State are indeed complicated. Not to mention the disputed territories, there are five ethnic groups in Nagishot alone!

The Lotuso native Louis Robben Rogel came to power because he was obviously promoted by various ethnic groups in Eastern Equatoria State to fight against the Dinka people. He must not be of the same mind as Kiir.

Wang Zhen suspected that Kiir had led him to Najishot in large part because he wanted to break the momentum of these ethnic minorities to unite against the Dinka people!

Shit, he looks quite honest with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but his mother has such insidious thoughts.

Seeing that Wang Zhen remained silent, Kiel could only continue: "So, regardless of the money, I have already loaned out the loan, but if I want this road to be built smoothly, I have to ask Louis Robben Roger for help. Some compromises will be made, and in the end, there is a high probability that the tender will be divided into sections.”

"You mean, this money will have to come from Louis Robben Roger?" Wang Zhen raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Kil nodded.

The so-called "passing a hand" is not to give these people an opportunity to interfere in the road construction project and embezzle it!

Thinking of this, Wang Zhen suddenly became unhappy!

Damn it, I created Najishot, I made Kiel Loan so fast, these idiots just want to get in and take away most of the benefits without doing anything.

Why!

……

When I got up from bed, I stood up very violently when I got out of bed, and hit the cabinet with my head. By chance, I hit the edge of the long handle of the cabinet, and my head was opened immediately, and blood started pouring out...

I pressed it with toilet paper and finally stopped the bleeding. I thought the problem was not serious, so I made dinner, but it turned out that maybe I was sweating or something while eating, and the bleeding started again...

At this moment, Yan Huo knew that he was dead. He must have had a triangular wound, otherwise he would not be able to stop the bleeding. He had no choice but to ride an electric bike and hurried to the hospital.

Unfortunately, I just found out that there is no emergency department in the outpatient department. After get off work, I walked around a lot and had to go to a hospital far away. I had two stitches and medicine. It was already past 11pm when I got home.

Bitter!

Today's guaranteed update will allow me, old man, to calm down my brain... Pictures attached. (End of chapter)
