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

Chapter 219 Red butterfly, not a big threat (please subscribe!)

The dilapidated scenery passed by outside the car window. Jiban at this moment was better than Pannakar at the time.

Sure enough, war can only bring harm and decline, making countries that are already not wealthy even worse.

Driving into a dense traffic area, the speed slowed down, and a half-year-old child carrying handicrafts came to the Tiger armored vehicle to sell.

They are afraid of armed groups with the same skin color as themselves, but the yellow-skinned and white-skinned ones with guns will at least not rob them of their things and are happy to take care of their small businesses.

"How much does this cost? Huh? Can it be cheaper in US dollars?"

The kids didn't speak French very well, as they spoke more often in Sango, so Leonardo had to ask questions and sign.

Everyone spent tens of dollars to buy a lot of them, including several pendants carved from ivory, which were sold for ten dollars each.

This is the case in poor countries. Hundreds of tons of ivory are burned directly in the Philippines, but in the Philippines it is an important export and exchange product.

Protecting the environment and protecting animals is something that only when we are full can we have the motivation to think about it.

If you don't have enough to eat, you can exchange anything for money, and everything else is empty.

Xia Yu doesn't like ivory very much, so he can only support it with money and bring it back to the plane as a pendant.

After walking through this section and driving towards the government area, the street vendors disappeared in an instant.

Although it is only a transitional government, it now has the highest power of Jiban, and the number of police and gendarmes has also increased.

Probably out of fear that armed groups scattered across the country would come to Beijing to cause havoc, the identity of every car that continued to drive in was checked.

When it was Xia Yu's turn, they handed over the prepared passes and were quickly released to a French-style building.

"This is the Ministry of National Defense of Feifei. Honey Badger, follow me up here, and you guys will guard down below."

After making arrangements, Xia Yu opened the car door and got out of the car, followed closely by Duomi.

"Wow~Wow~~"

There are also armored vehicles with blue helmets painted in bright white in the parking lot in front of the door. There are so many people coming to the meeting today!

Before they could enter the building, the sound of helicopter propellers was heard in the distance.

It's an AS-555 Fennec helicopter, and it's from the Republic of China.

The country has always had troops stationed in Qifei. This is also the reason why the Seleka armed forces defeated Jiban in one fell swoop a few years ago, but failed to fully capture it.

The Mao army helped the government forces defend the most important airport, while the Heimu who were eager to enjoy the fruits of victory maintained restraint.

However, after obtaining authorization from the Security Council and persuading the African Union to send troops to intervene, Gallic Chicken officially came to an end and launched Operation Sangaris, which is not very successful now.

To be honest, in one military operation after another, the Lanxi people were only able to take action in Operation Serval, while Operation Crescent Dune and Operation Red Butterfly turned into a quagmire.

Compared with the poor Philippines, the Chinese people seem to value the interests of the Sahel region more.

As far as Xia Yu knows, they are now deploying forces from Operation Red Butterfly and gradually deploying them to desert areas.

This is also a job that Concentrated Fire Defense can take over from Operation Barkhane Dune, but when I came to the Philippines, I was hired by the Giban Transitional Government.

There is no other reason. They are ready to end this failed operation of the Philippines.

In addition to the regular army that has not yet withdrawn, the PMC companies that entered the market in the early stage have already withdrawn, which has vacated a huge market.

Well, it doesn’t look like it’s worth much. Who makes Qian Fei look poorer than the fruit?

But can Jihuo Defense give up on Feifei like those PMC companies?

Xia Yu wanted to say that this was not possible. He was determined to expand his business throughout Afika and then to the whole world. Although it looked like a piece of bad land, it was also a springboard for him to go deep into the desert area.

Focusing on defense and ending the rebellion quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, in addition to primitive accumulation, is to obtain a stable rear area.

It allows the company to develop some obvious tertiary industries and satisfy Xia Yu's collecting habit.

As for the development of the mining industry in Guo, there are too few manpower for fire defense.

At this stage, rather than messing around on your own, it is better to use strong force to harvest regularly and let the armed groups in the disputed border areas help dig out the mines.

If you switch to Qifei, you can't play the same way.

For example, the price paid by the Giban transitional government for hiring fire defense this time is a small amount of cash plus minerals still in the hands of armed groups.

Or rather than saying it is a mineral, it is better to say that it is an outpost with a mine in the Philippines.

In this poverty-stricken and war-torn city, it is located in the heart of Afika, which is very much like the thoroughfare of nine provinces in the country. This is a geographically advantageous area.

Concentrating fire defense can attack when advancing and defend when retreating, which is also an important part of market expansion.

So what exactly did Xiayu ask the transitional government for?
Not a gold mine, not a diamond mine, but a uranium mine.

As a country with relatively high uranium reserves, China's uranium mines are of low grade, deeply buried, and unconventional, making mining and refining very difficult.

The increasingly developing nuclear power industry has a high demand for fuel, so there is no choice but to import it from mineral-rich countries.

In the past two years, a uranium mine with one of the largest reserves in the world was acquired from Nabibiya.

Xia Yu also asked about it and heard that there will be big moves later.

However, those were large transactions of hundreds of thousands of tons, and the entire uranium reserve in Qianfei was only more than 3. Even though the one he took was buried shallowly, was of high grade, and was very common, it only amounted to several thousand tons.

Therefore, he is not considered to be a big help to the family, but the family is helping him underwrite the purchase.

As for the extra, Xia Yu also has some personal needs. He can get the reactor for the bunker in the future without fuel.

In this way, after he came into contact with Qifei's people, the plan to kill two birds with one stone was born.

Jihuo Defense helped to deal with two armed groups near Jiban whose population was swelling and affecting the capital's security and commercial transportation development, in exchange for US$100 million in cash and a uranium mine in the hands of the former Seleka armed forces.

If Xiayu wants to start digging officially, he has to take back the mine first, but there's no rush, he can just wait until he gets back from Mali to start working on this stall.

Unlike gold mines and diamond mines, uranium mines, even open-pit mines, are mostly sandstone uranium mines.

If you insist on using a manual team, you will lose completely. Such hard-core players must be equipped with machines.

It would be easier for Xia Yu to get a machine.

But for armed groups that can only use slave workers to carry out simple production, this mine is a useless piece of steel that cannot be attacked at all.

Their method of generating income is still to collect taxes from the local people, but they only draw land to include Xiayu's mines.

Naturally, there is no need to rush into fire defense. After all, it takes time to get the machinery in place and recruit and train personnel.

The top priority now is to destroy the two armed groups on the water and then obtain the final ownership of the uranium mine.

Xia Yu and Duomi walked into the Ministry of National Defense building before the helicopter landed.

Coming to the conference room on the second floor, there were major generals from the government army, as well as representatives from the Blue Helmets and the African Union Stabilization Mission.

They are waiting for the arrival of the last two forces. Now that Xia Yu, who represents the fire defense, has arrived, only the last people from the Tao Kingdom are left.

After finding his seat and taking a seat, an officer with the rank of colonel opened the door to the conference room. "I arrived late. The Democratic Front gang attacked our outpost camp, but they still retained their strength."

The colonel complained.

This is the daily life in Caifei. After the encirclement and suppression, we are attacked. It is just like turn-based fighting. You hit me, and I slap you back, and it is a stalemate.

The hair army is a former Seleka, and there are anti-Seleka armed forces who beat them together. It is normal to be beaten with a stick.

But what is abnormal is that the Blue Helmets and the African Union Stabilization Mission stopped the conflict between the two sides, but they were also beaten along with the Mao army.

This is what the so-called great war is like. The enemy of the enemy is not necessarily a friend, and the most thorough neutral party cannot avoid being attacked.

No wonder there is a constant arms embargo. It is already so intense with AKs and RPGs. With more advanced weapons, the intensity of the conflict will only be higher.

However, Xia Yu and the others have stronger firepower and can definitely reduce the dimensionality of the attack.

As for the Mao Army, they also have Tiger helicopters with strong firepower, and Mirage 2000s that can drop bombs!
It can only be said that their thoughts are not here anymore, and slowly withdrawing is the domestic order, otherwise the two armed groups would not have been arrogant near Jiban for so long.

Now that the transitional government has hired people to clean up the area around the capital, it is impossible for the Taoist people to send troops, but they can still help with a little help.

"This is a photo taken by our Snowy Owl drone while scouting near Jiban."

The hair-haired colonel named Henry took off his bucket hat, asked his men to open the document package, and sent multiple copies of the photos printed inside to everyone at the conference table.

The Snow Owl drone that took off from Gapeng was also Xia Yu's old friend. He encountered the white top hat several times in his counterattack.

Now that concentrated fire defense has replaced part of the ecological niche of white top hat, it has been assisted by it.

The photo in front of Xia Yu was obviously clearer than the previous generation Sparrowhawk A.

He originally planned to upgrade the old guy's sighting equipment, but knowing that the people from the country would not intervene but would help, he did not bring the drone or launch control vehicle with him this time, which saved a lot of trouble.

"Is this? They purchased a new gunboat?"

The commander of the African Union Stabilization Mission sounded surprised.

According to their original intelligence, the Po'er national salvation armed forces did not have this ship.

"It seems that the information we came from has been leaked. They must have something behind Jiban."

After looking at the photo, Xia Yu said calmly.

As long as you prepare for the worst, you won't be swayed by your emotions.

First time working together + not knowing the basics = completely unreliable, especially with such a grassroots team.

"I will immediately conduct an internal review to find this secret."

Seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, Deputy Minister of Defense Jiban said immediately.

"No need, as long as these two armed groups are eliminated, the secret will automatically be ineffective."

Xia Yu's tone couldn't be called confident, it was very arrogant, but Jihuo Defense, with its outstanding performance, had the capital.

Yes, they are all sieves anyway. There is no need to arrest people. Instead, they are used to alert others. It is good to keep things as they are.

"It is indeed a heavy blow and an end to the concentrated fire defense of the Sassou rebels. However, these armed groups in the Philippines do not have ground armor, so it is difficult for your infantry fighting vehicles and tanks to be effective."

After Major Henry complimented him, he gave advice from the perspective of a senior.

Concentrated Fire Defense has armed helicopters, but they are most famous for their armored force!

More importantly, these armed groups are mixed in civilian villages.

If you take advantage of Wuzhi, no matter how partial the Blue Helmets or the African Union are, they can't pretend not to see it.

Isn't the effect of overseas training coming out now? People in the country obviously don't know that concentrated fire defense has strengthened the strength of water and underwater combat, and more than half of the newly recruited recruits are veterans in this field.

Coupled with the cooperation of air and land, isn't this an absolute crushing victory?
"Jihuo Defense is committed to maintaining regional peace and will not act rashly without absolute certainty."

Xia Yu expressed the company's attitude as the boss.

This also reassures the Blue Helmets and the African Union that the hands of Concentrated Fire Defense are clean and will not create a scandal.

In fact, it was the participants of Operation Sangaris that caused the scandal.

Due to the ongoing war, local people have a lot of food to eat. It is undeniable that some women will take advantage of it and exchange some resources from foreign soldiers.

Regardless of whether it is voluntary or involuntary, this is a scandal internationally, and it is also one of the reasons why the country wants to end Operation Sangaris.

"We are willing to believe in fire defense and will monitor and evaluate it to give the most pertinent evaluation."

The commander of the blue helmets finally spoke.

The meeting lasted for another two hours and officially ended near noon.

The deputy minister left everyone to have a buffet, and then everyone went back to their homes to work on their own affairs.

On the way back, Xia Yu took out the aerial photos he brought back and looked through them repeatedly, and a specific battle plan gradually took shape in his mind.

The river gunboat with a T-55 turret on the bow looks very intimidating at first glance, but who can it hit?

Xia Yu, an armed group further away from Jiban, will fly the Mi-24V into battle in person. The SOC-R, which lacks large-caliber firepower, would not be arranged in this direction in the original plan.

And those small armed fishing boats are nothing to worry about.

"What? They have helicopter gunships?"

At the same time, having just received this information from the spy, Siyat sounded very surprised.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, how many are there?"

He came outside with the satellite phone in hand.

"One? That's okay."

After receiving the reply from the other side, Siyat breathed a sigh of relief.

Two Wuzhi aircraft came from Jihuo Defense, but the Xiaoantelope Hair Army also used them, so the spy only confirmed the Mi-24V as a target.

Sure enough, being mixed in the henhouse still has some effect, but the old female deer is a little more conspicuous, and it doesn't look like a thing from the country.

And Siyate has been traveling around the world for many years, so naturally he will not be unprepared for Wu Zhi.

But who told the people of the country to keep them untouched? He waited until today for the chance to use them.

"I understand. I will put your reward in the same place. Happy cooperation!"

After hanging up the phone, Siyate made up his mind.

The opponent only had one Hind gunship. This old aircraft had been shot down a lot by the Ahanhans back then, so it was not very threatening.

They were being targeted, and after repelling the opponent this time, they had to find a way out.
