Don't talk about martial arts, I'm a war contractor

Chapter 210: Fancy Sales, Business Succession (5K, please vote after midnight!)
Probably because it couldn’t be placed, the exquisite car on the exhibition stand was replaced with a 1:1 ratio, and it would probably occupy half of the exhibition hall.

Xia Yu glanced over and saw that there were PLZ-52 self-propelled howitzers, AH-4 towed light howitzers, SH-1 truck howitzers, and SR-5 multiple rocket launcher systems.

These are all good things, but it’s a pity that Monjo’s budget is not very sufficient.

Bussa tightened his belt and approved a total of 2.6 million US dollars, of which the Air Force was entitled to at least 1.6 million.

This means that the Army spent a total of 1 million to purchase equipment and ammunition.

How to buy and what to buy, Mengqiao must be careful and careful.

However, the good news is that if the Installation Infantry Battalion is upgraded to a combined brigade in the future and uses the special national defense budget, it will not need to grab a share of the US$1 million.

After an in-depth exchange with Meng Qiao, Xia Yu understood Busa's real needs.

Although the remnants of the rebels led by Sassou were eliminated, a large number of militia forces were still active in the remote provinces of Guo. This was something they must take into account when purchasing equipment and building the army.

Xia Yu believes that these guys can be handed over to the Air Force and the Army will provide support.

Their second demand, that is, military confrontation with neighboring countries with which they have bad relations, is difficult for the air force to play a role.

No matter how weak a country is, it can use air defense means. If the aircraft performance is not good and the pilot level is not good, shoulder-resistant anti-aircraft missiles can beat you down.

Therefore, the army is the main force in the fight. The 1 million cannot be spent on counter-terrorism like Neibi. It is necessary to purchase limited heavy equipment and firepower.

As for which company to purchase heavy equipment from, he is still a little selfish.

It was time for lunch soon, and there were several temporary restaurants serving light meals at the exhibition site.

But the queue was too long, so Xia Yu asked Leonardo to go out and buy lunch for the 9 of them and the 5 of Mengqiao.

After filling his stomach and having a cup of coffee, he led Mengqiao to the NORINCO platform.

"General, the Luwangyu Army is equipped with CS/SH-1 vehicle-mounted howitzers and SH-3 self-propelled howitzers, both of which are 122mm caliber."

Naturally, the movements of the old enemy cannot be hidden from Busa, which is also one of the incentives for this arms upgrade.

"Mr. Sherlock, if you have any suggestions, just tell me!"

Meng Qiao signaled Xia Yu to speak freely.

Either way, they have to respond.

"There are more and more counter-battery methods now, but using artillery to counter-battery is the most direct and most deterrent method."

Xia Yu organized his words and spoke from a neutral perspective.

"Due to the battle with the rebels, Busa's artillery force suffered a great loss. Those old Soviet artillery have lagged behind the times. Under the premise that a big battle cannot be fought, it is necessary to equip some advanced equipment in small batches. "

Meng Qiao nodded while listening. He agreed with Xia Yu's statement.

Busa's army has 10 troops, of which 3 to 4 are reorganized local armed forces. The core of the Central Army is actually only more than [-] and less than [-] people.

This sense of déjà vu is so strong, it is indeed a backward version.

And facts have proven that even if the equipment that you retire is given to your second line, you cannot replace it with those former local armed forces.

After equipping the T-64B1M, Busa felt that the original T-72 was too old, so he equipped himself with a batch of T-72AV, and actively moved closer to Busa, but secretly resented Sasu.

As a result, they reaped the consequences and spent a lot of money to quell the civil unrest. If they had known that all those tanks were sold for scrap, they would not have given them to the other side.

Now I have learned a lesson, gained wisdom, and will not make the same mistake again.

"European and American products are not cheap, so I recommend the SH-1 truck howitzer and the PLZ-45 self-propelled howitzer, both of which have a caliber of 155mm. They can't reach you when deployed at the border, but you can cover them within the range."

Xia Yu pointed to the model on the stage and introduced it to Meng Qiao.

It was born from the same root, so why is it too anxious.

But the world is like this. It is not uncommon for beautiful weapons to fight against beautiful weapons, and Su weapons to fight against Su\'s weapons.

As the scale of the arms trade expands, this is inevitable, so just keep an eye on it.

As for why PLZ-52 is not recommended, it is not because of the limited budget, but also because of the intensity of the war in central Afika, there is no need for a 52x caliber. The 45x caliber is completely sufficient. If you save a little, you can get two more. Cardinal shells.

"These two pieces of equipment seem to be very good. If the artillery company of the Anka Installation Battalion needs to be expanded, it is no longer appropriate to use mortars. If they are useful, we can place additional orders."

Meng Qiao also agreed with Xia Yu's point of view and took the initiative to assume his responsibility as acting brigade commander.

Of course, he will repurchase it only if it is really useful.

"This is a conventional artillery force, and the Hailins equipped by the Marsar Rocket Artillery Battalion are too old. They can reload very quickly, but the Luwangsun people are equipped with the RM-70 122 MLRS self-propelled rocket launchers of Kok."

Xia Yu continued to make targeted sales.

RM-70 still uses the BM-21 Hail launcher, but it has the same design as the old 89. It is equipped with 40 rounds of spare ammunition and a loading machine that can load automatically. It can complete reloading in about 30 seconds and then fire. Second salvo.

Upgrade, must upgrade!
Even if it only equips a battalion with four new rocket launchers, Busa has already won in terms of momentum.

"I highly recommend this SR-5 multiple rocket launcher system. In addition to the 122mm conventional caliber, it also integrates 220mm and 300mm long-range firepower."

In fact, there are more integrated ones, but Busa doesn't need them. These three caliber rockets are enough.

"What about the price? Will it be expensive?"

Mengqiao is already moved, but his wallet does not allow him to be arrogant!

Even for Afika's small-scale model, it only starts with 4 vehicles. If the unit price is too high and then multiply by 4 vehicles, it will easily exceed the budget.

"General, I can help you negotiate this number at most. You have to buy 20 or more vehicles to get such a discount."

Xia Yu held out a finger vaguely.

Meng Qiao understood that the secret channel was not bad. Equipment for a battalion only took up less than half of the budget, and there was still money left to buy other equipment.

"I have to go back and contact the country before I can make a decision."

He continued.

Even so, the intention has been achieved.

"General, don't worry, just take your time."

Xia Yu kindly advised.

There is really no need to worry about the Army's equipment, because it is just a confrontation. It is the Air Force that should be worried, and they need to really fight.

It's just that the Air Force is not a system after all. Mengqiao can only make suggestions but not decisions.

When the museum officially opens, the aviation and defense exhibition of Fengfei will also open, let’s talk about it then!

On the first day of the Satterley Defense Exhibition, two things were roughly determined, and the group returned to the hotel.

Xia Yu took off the smart watch on his right hand and found that the number of steps he took today was [-] less, which was more than in daily combat.

Either in an infantry fighting vehicle or in a tank.

Not to mention that sometimes you have to switch between weapons and fighters. This is actually quite difficult even if you think about the number of combat steps.

The main ones who destroyed the meniscus were the two digital teams and the elderly instructor team.

Although these old guys are older, they have better physical reserves than Xia Yu, so they can just go back and train them to death.

Early the next morning, neither Xia Yu nor Meng Qiao went to the defense exhibition site. One was busy contacting the country, while the other had more important matters.

It was still the Coaster minibus, pulling everyone who was gathering fire defense to the [-]th district of Bali.

The new building of the National Defense Ministry is located here, and this is also the destination of their trip.

"This building is so beautifully built."

Rob leaned against the car window and admired.

"The Chinese guy spent 42 billion euros on his hair. How can it not be beautiful if he spends so much money on it?"

Leonardo beside him said disdainfully.

Before joining Jihuo Defense, he worked in the country for more than a year, and he knew Bali quite well.

Some people on the Internet have criticized the Department of Defense for being extravagant and wasteful. Spending so much money is enough to fill the gap in the pension deficit. They taxpayers are really raising a bunch of worms.

In fact, although the personal tax of the country is very high, if it relies on the money from taxes to support the navy, army and air force, then the army is really useless.

The main reason why they can spend so much is because they earn so much in Afika.

The oil in Algriya, the uranium mine in Nizir... and the economic colonization and dumping of industrial products, so they have money for them to squander.

When this Afika military policeman retires, he will have to live a hard life.

The day is far away, but it could be soon.

Entering this well-designed Ministry of National Defense building, Xia Yu quickly found the person he was waiting for.

"Mr. Sherlock, are you right? This is your company's license."

A middle-aged male civil servant who looked very fresh-faced, after confirming Xia Yu's identity, handed him a large file bag.

Xia Yu didn't have much contact with the officials of the country of Lao. He came to the Ministry of National Defense just for the PMC license of the country of Lao that he had agreed to last time.

"There are restrictions on the number of licenses issued. If it weren't for the boss of a company being killed a few months ago and the company being liquidated and canceled, this matter would be really difficult to handle."

When Xia Yu opened the file bag and looked through the documents inside, the guy had a lot of connotations. "So is this a license for white hats?"

Xia Yu asked without hesitation.

He seems to have taken the last piece of the white hat pie.

Well, I inherited someone else’s PMC license.

This matter is slightly more complicated than Ant Huabei who inherited a stranger.

"Yes sir, we can help you change your license number if you feel it is inappropriate."

It's quite polite, but these people don't know that Xia's nickname is Weasel, so they are not afraid at all.

"That's good, I won't bother you anymore."

Xia Yu stuffed the license back into the portfolio and waved it away.

"Mr. Sherlock, Jihuo Defense now has a PMC passport from the Kingdom of China and can accept combat contracts from the Ministry of National Defense of the Kingdom of China. Are you willing to go to Mali to fight in the near future?"

asked the civil servant named Jean.

Yes, the reason for working hard to get this license is to accept jobs around the world. It seems that when the job comes, the party A is still the Ministry of National Defense of the country.

This is not surprising. Since the end of Operation Serval, the Kuoguo people and their allies have launched Operation Barkhane Dune, which has continued to this day.

Operation Serval only lasted for a year and a half. After the completion of the project, White Hat split off the Afika Central Branch and went to Guo to turn the gears of fate.

They failed to catch up with the crescent-shaped dune feast, but inherited their licensed fire defense, and this time they seemed to be able to get a piece of the cake.

This is the world of PMC. Military contracting involves risks.

You are not strong enough and have been killed, but you still expect the biggest Party A to uphold justice and help you take revenge?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

They will only let the other party inherit your license and your project.

Being able to fight means strength. Logistics PMCs may rely on connections and only take care of domestic companies. Pure combat PMCs only need a license and there are very few restrictions.

"I have to think about it first."

Xia Yu didn't rush to make a decision because he had other work before that.

However, if Jihuo Defense wants to develop the market in northern Afica, it is true that it cannot avoid the people from the country.

In addition, the local people must also be contacted. The world situation has changed too fast in the past few years. Maybe the people of the country will be driven away one day, and Jihuo Defense will only cooperate with the winning side.

"These are some past contracts. You can refer to them. When you think about it clearly, you can contact me directly."

Rang took out his business card and exchanged it with Xia Yu.

He should be the liaison officer assigned to him by the Ministry of Defense, but he is not a full-time one.

Contractors such as Golden Oak Leaf, Blackfoot Alliance, and Leclerc (the tank's namesake company) are also similar.

The entire Barchan Sand Dune operation costs more than one billion euros every year, and there are many European PMC companies contracting the project.

As for the North American department, most of them are concentrated in the Middle East.

The plates there are bigger and the intensity is higher, but there are also more good products. After all, Yingjiang personally comes to play, and it is really all American equipment.

In the northern Afica, it is also a waste of sand. Among the domestic products, only the Leclerc main battle tank can make people shine.

Those light armored vehicles, including the new ones seen at the defense exhibition, had nothing to interest Xia Yu.

Alas, in terms of high-end armor, except for a certain rabbit who can't afford it, and Da Mao who can design but can't afford it, the only country is really the only country.

The Cougar has taken some detours. The Boxer dogs released earlier, plus the Bobcat series just exhibited, all look pretty good.

The only flaw is the price. The cost of using each weapon and equipment is the first thing to consider.

This is also the reason why Xia Yu wants to buy an old Chinook. Its performance is old and strong, and its operating cost of less than 3000 US dollars per hour is incredible.

Although the Osprey is larger and more capable, its various advantages cannot offset its operating costs that are comparable to those of the F-22.

Of course, the Black Hawk is also good. People who have used it in China say it is good, but the tail rotor is very worrying.

It's definitely fine for daily use, but it can be used in combat, but it will take a beating, and it will crash immediately after one hit.

Changing to the Mi-8 Hippo, the tail rotor is also exposed, but without PTSD, Xia Yu's wallet can also be saved.

"If the situation stabilizes now and the United Nations and African Union stabilization missions are gradually withdrawing, Schneider and his troops will be deployed to the Sahel region."

Jean finally mentioned Schneider.

He was the intermediary between Jihuo Defense and the Ministry of National Defense of the country. However, this cycle of blue helmet deployment was not over yet. Even if he left Guo, he could not return to the country and was directly dragged to the hotspot area.

I don’t know how many years it will take for Operation Barchan Sand Dune to end. Xiayu can only earn Euros anyway.

It just so happened that I was tired of making too many US dollars, so I wanted to change my taste.

"Oh? Have you equipped Schneider with a new helicopter?"

Xia Yu took the opportunity to ask.

The wreckage of the Tiger was completely destroyed after being hit by a round of rockets.

Schneider did not recycle it after taking photos to collect evidence. The good people of Xiayu did it to the end and collected it and found that the integrity was only 23%.

In addition to the parts he dismantled, it couldn't reach 70% completeness, so it had to be left alone for now.

As long as the military operation of the country in Afika does not end, the probability of the plane crashing is not generally high.

In addition, if Jihuo Defense undertakes their official project, it will naturally be able to use the other party's station facilities, and it is not impossible to have the opportunity to use their skills again and prepare for recovery.

Then in the future, if no one is left behind, and he breaks into the camps of all five good people, wouldn't he be able to summon the dragon?
Well, the unimagined path.

"Of course he is, and there are two of them. If he falls again, it will be difficult for him to be promoted to brigadier general."

Jean shook his head and said with regret.

Speaking of being shot down, there was also a reason why the pilot took the risk.But who made Schneider the commander?
"Bless him. I have to leave first. I'll contact you later."

Xia Yu stood up and said goodbye.

"Goodbye, Mr. Sherlock."

After leaving the Ministry of National Defense building, the Xiayu people felt relaxed after completing a major event.

Speaking of which, Hans joined the Blue Helmets before retiring and was deployed in Mari, and he had not yet challenged the desert!

Perhaps, his name as the Desert Weasel will be sung here.

When fighting in the desert, the most feared thing is lack of water and equipment breaking down due to malfunction.

With Xiayu's system, there would be no shortage of water, and the fire defense equipment would not break down.

This makes them invincible. Maybe they are more at home in the desert than in the rain forest!

"Boss, are you done?"

Seeing Xia Yu getting into the car, Mariano stepped forward.

"After we finish it, we may have to go to Mali to work for the people of the country and fight against the jihadists in the desert."

Xia Yu told everyone the news directly, allowing them to be mentally prepared in advance.

It is always bad to go to extremes, destroy production, harm and kill civilians.

They have no motivation to carry out voluntary clean-ups, but it is different if they have project funds.

Once the euro arrives, we will be the staunchest defender of regional peace.

Make money, don't be fooled.

"It seems like we old guys have to take action."

"Who else is it for me?" said the old man.

In counter-terrorism, they are indeed more professional, and with the firepower advantage of concentrated fire defense, they have to find the dens of these jihadists.

Until we find it, we have to rely on these old special forces soldiers.

The anti-terrorism experience of the two digital teams was accumulated after joining the company, and they had only received anti-terrorism training before.

After all, Xiayu hired them more as mechanized infantry who dared to charge and fight, and the priority of special operations was not high.

Now, it's time to accept the test of actual combat.

"Work hard. Mari's specialty is gold. Those jihadists who have supporters are definitely rich. If you fight for the spoils, you can get a little more."

Xia Yu encouraged everyone.

Because these old guys joined late, they have never enjoyed a single share of the loot.

When I was training with two digital teams, I didn't feel jealous when I found out about this. I just held back my energy and wanted to make the "cake" bigger the next time I get dividends.
