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

Chapter 240: Dress up plan, you and I will change (please subscribe!)

"I've heard that the Crown Prince of Dubai was so satisfied with the boss's service that he made $200 million with just a wave of his hand!"

Mariano rushed into the restaurant and said to the people waiting for their meal.

"How could I say he is the crown prince? He is so generous."

Hans couldn't help but say as he walked into the restaurant and washed off the oil on his hands.

"The oil in Dubai has been dug out long ago. I can only say that his father has a good way of making money!"

Lawrence knows the Middle East better. Dubai is a relatively successful emirate in transformation. Even after the oil is mined, it will not stop them from making money, which supports the royal family's extravagant expenses.

"But the boss finally made money, it's not easy!"

Kuhn said with great emotion.

It's really not easy. Even if they include 50% of the spoils, the employees still think that Xia Yu's worth is only the amount of money in the company's account. After all, most of it is spent on heavy equipment, not to mention that the fire defense style is quite intense. money.

What can Xia Yu say?

He couldn't say anything. For example, the profits from selling arms were frighteningly high. For example, the 1 kilogram of souvenirs in his hand cost more than 1 yuan after returning from the Philippines.

It may be a little lacking in weight for casting the outer coffin, but the inner coffin is definitely enough.

As for the construction of the first phase of the museum project, Xia Yu said that he received a low-interest loan.

In fact, he did borrow a sum of money for the civil construction and decoration of the main building and ancillary facilities in the first phase of the project.

Of course, it also includes the body purchases of old tanks in the collection.

The car bodies in front were paid for by Xia Yu in advance, and the loan was settled as soon as the loan was received.

After the first phase of the combat vehicle project is in stable operation, he will borrow more money to buy aircraft and transform the aircraft carrier.

Mature businessmen must learn to borrow chickens to lay eggs.

The difference is that a black-hearted businessman will use the borrowed money to squander and enjoy himself until he becomes insolvent and leaves a bunch of holes. He shouts that his life is not in vain and goes to work on a sewing machine.

Xia Yu would definitely not be such a sinister person. He still has some sense of social responsibility.

"But those old tanks are really expensive, and the boss only made a No. 4 this time."

The meal was served, and while we were chatting, the conversation also turned to the prices of the collections.

Those old tanks from World War II have a special category in the modern military auction market called tracked vehicles.

The prices they can fetch are generally one zero more than those of the magnesium series and Soviet series.

Familiar classic tanks such as the M4 and T-34 can only fetch US$30 million at auction because there are so many of them in existence.

As for No. 3 and No. 4, as long as they are not shell cars that cannot start, can drive normally, and have all parts and accessories, they can be auctioned for 300 to [-] million yuan.

Not so long ago, in the United States two years ago, the family of billionaire Jacques Littlefield, who passed away, donated his collection of 160 old cars at auction to fund the creation of a new museum.

Among them was a No. 4 H model lacking skirt armor, which was successfully auctioned for US$250 million.

And just last year, an old man in his 70s in China had his home "ransacked" by the local police, who seized a Panther G-type tank without tracks and ordered him to sell it, or they could help him sell it.

The auction estimate given by the organization at that time was more than 300 million US dollars. If it is equipped with crawler tracks and repaired, it can easily be sold for about 400 million US dollars.

Then the No. 5 G model in their museum can not only start, but also fire. Wouldn't it be possible to take photos of 500 million upwards?
The price of the Tiger is even more expensive. Apparently only a few museums have it, but there are also a few in circulation among some wealthy collectors.

These will not be reported to the outside world at all, and Xia Yu only found out after entering this circle.

And after knowing that he had the Tiger Style and Tiger King that could be used, many people got his phone number through connections and asked if they could take action.

If it is only No. 2, 3, 4, or even No. 5, Xia Yu will sell it if the price is right.

But this is a Tiger and King Tiger. Even if one sells for the price of two or three No. 5s, he will still lose money.

Rather than just cash, Xia Yu was more willing to exchange them for some rare items.

It can be in kind, or it can be help. Why doesn't he just sell high-volume models to make money?

After having dinner at Wani Village, Xia Yu returned to Bogo Village.

Not counting today, the museum still has 3 days to officially open, and it is not ruled out that there will be tourists like Ha Yuan in these 3 days.

I found Kuhn, who had just finished eating, and held a small meeting. The employees of the officially opened fire defense had to help, so while they were not very busy these days, the technical employees maintained several Weasels and T-64B1Ms.

Fortunately for Weasel, the T-64B1M has always had an ancestral suspension problem due to the excessive compression of tonnage in the T-64 series design indicators. That is, the increased weight will make the tank unreliable.

This was also the reason why Xia Yu wanted to switch to the T-80 platform. He enhanced the torsion bar suspension through the system and often went back to make repairs, but the chain never dropped during battle.

Kuhn and the others have also noticed this problem, so they will focus on taking care of it every time they perform maintenance.

If it can be repaired, repair it; if it cannot be repaired, replace it. Anyway, Xia Yu printed a lot of spare parts.

But even so, the T-64B1M's modification potential has been exhausted.

The load-bearing capacity of the chassis has reached its limit, the maximum engine power is only 1200 horsepower, and the basic armor on the front has an equivalent penetration resistance of less than 400mm.

It can be resisted even with multi-layered sharp blades and mango sticks on the face, but what if the enemy has replaced it with a better steel needle?
In addition to insufficient firepower, Xia Yu also suffers from a phobia of insufficient defense.

欧美几家主流的钢针就不说了，大毛也研制出了3BM66铅-2尾翼稳定脱壳穿甲弹，它在2000米的距离有着等效600mm的穿深。

If the active defense system is not turned on, or is not protected, and the enemy is too close, there is a possibility that it will be penetrated and the entire crew will be wiped out.

Xia Yu was still hesitant about whether to change vehicles. After all, given the current intensity of the battle in concentrated fire defense, the performance of the final version of the T-64B1M was sufficient.

But according to the development plan of one generation of service and one generation of research and development, time is almost up, and the new platform must be launched at this time.

So the wreckage of a T-80 has been loaded onto a ship and headed to Afika.

This derivative tank developed based on the T-64 has a fairly good chassis carrying capacity, and the equivalent thickness of the basic armor on the front is also 500mm+.

Even if a gas turbine is not used, they will still use their final version of the T64-B1M 6TD-2E diesel engine.

It still has 1200 horsepower, but it pushes a heavier body, so the speed may be lower.

Regardless, Xia Yu plans to change one to test the water first. Even if it is not used, it can be kept in his collection.

In addition, no matter which type, the company's next generation tank must strengthen the top armor.

One is to defend against anti-tank missiles that can attack the top, and the other is to defend against dangerous drones.

Xia Yu himself plays with drones. This is the current trend. It is much easier to open a tank from the air than to penetrate the front.

Focusing fire defense must be done with one hand, otherwise it will be too late by the time the suicide drones focus the fire.

Similarly, Xia Yu is so determined to engage in field operations accompanied by air defense. In addition to defending against enemy helicopters, he also has plans to deal with drones.

The programmable ammunition can fire one or two rounds without using the awning at all, and the drone is completely unable to get close.

"Om~~"

Early the next morning, the royal family's special plane had already begun to land. Xia Yu, who had gotten up to have breakfast, had just learned the news.

"Your Majesty the King, welcome to Konluga."

Xia Yu led everyone to express their welcome to the old king.Just like Ha Yuanzhen said, this Abdullah II is really here.

"Hello, Mr. Weasel!"

The old king directly said the code name of Xiayu.

Since you want to take something with you, there is no need to play any tricks with fake identities.

In addition, as the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces of Yue, he is also very interested in PMC companies with strong combat capabilities such as Jihuo Defense.

As the saying goes, it's time to come, so why not take the opportunity to evaluate the opponent's strength.

When he was young, after studying abroad, his father assigned him as a platoon leader of the armored force as soon as he returned to China. He worked his way up to major and battalion commander before being assigned to the helicopter force.

The old king's understanding of the main force of fire defense on the ground and in the air can be described as professional.

Last year his pilot was executed by terrorists, and he even wanted to fly an armed helicopter himself.

Unfortunately, neither his citizens nor his troops agreed.

After knowing the old king's thoughts, Xia Yu readily agreed. After all, the person in front of him could be said to be a potential party.

Because there is no oil, York is not as wealthy as those foreign countries, but it can still get a lot of anti-terrorism funds from Lao Mei every year.

The old king hired Ji Huo to defend himself, especially using the country's money to do his own things.

Xia Yu drove him directly to Bogo Village next door.

Vani Village, together with the entire middle zone, can be said to be classic and retro, while Bogo Village feels modern.

Tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armed helicopters, and fighter jets parked in the hangar all speak of the strength of the troops who focus on fire defense.

Can you believe that a PMC company with less than three-digit employees is equipped with an armored medical vehicle and a field doctor?

It's not luxury, but the boss of this company pays enough attention to his employees.

"Hind? Or the classic Mi-24V, have you made modern modifications?"

Arriving in front of Luhu, the old king stroked the fuselage and asked.

"Yes, after the digital upgrade, we used it to attack the former Seleka armed forces in the Philippines, and the effect was very good."

Xia Yu replied with a smile.

"Even if it's not cheap, I'm still willing to invest."

The old king estimated that adding a top photoelectric head and integrating various equipment into the fuselage would cost US$500 million, which was more expensive than the Old Hind itself.

This is the normal situation, but the reality is that Xia Yu only used dismantled parts that he found and didn't pay a penny himself.

The old king really opened his eyes when he came to the depot. The Weasel chassis can still be vaguely seen, but it has been replaced with a 30mm caliber main gun, integrated with 4 cornets, and wrapped with an infantry fighting vehicle-specific explosive and anti-explosive kit on the body.

The T-64B1M next to it is so modified that I don’t even recognize it. No wonder the concentrated fire defense has such combat effectiveness. It turns out to be a dimensionality reduction blow to the opponent.

However, the old king thinks there is no problem whether such a combat style is suitable for modern counter-terrorism.

After all, the rebels still have heavy equipment such as tanks. In addition to RPGs, the terrorists only have anti-tank missiles at most.

Anti-tank missiles without top-attack mode are severely restrained by the active defense system, not to mention the concentrated fire defense with such thick armor.

Coupled with Wuzhi, for terrorists, they are destroyed upon discovery.

After visiting Bogo Village, the group returned to the museum. Ignoring the tanks they already owned, the old king went straight to the goal of the trip, the No. 6 Tiger.

Tiger King can only be said to be rarer. Only Tiger Style achieves the word balance and is more popular among those who know the skill.

Xia Yu started the engine himself and took the old king to the field training ground.

Of course, the car is not filled with 92 rounds of artillery shells and 4500 rounds of machine gun shells (the limit is 120 rounds of artillery shells + 5100 rounds of machine gun shells).

If he wants a deep experience, he can experience it in any way as long as he can take it back.

As for not being able to take it back?

There is no such possibility. After confirming the concentrated fire defense style on the spot, the old king is confident that he can offer a price that the other party cannot refuse.

"Boom~~"

The old king in the gunner's position rested his hands on the upper and lower machine handwheels, and pressed the firing handle with his fingertips, which looked like a sports car shift paddle.

The entire firing system is like a lighter, transmitting an electrical pulse from the line to the C/22 electric firing primer at the rear of the shell.

A PzGr. 39 armor-piercing projectile left the barrel and successfully hit a T-1 after crossing 72 kilometer.

Projectiles exceeding 10 kilograms are no longer scraping, it successfully leaves a small hole in the T-72's turret.

If you aim at this eye and fire a few more rounds, you still have a chance to penetrate it. After all, you can cut nearly 100mm of equivalent base armor in one go!
The shell shell was withdrawn, and Cologne fired another PzGr. 40 tungsten core armor-piercing bullet. This was a rare item back then, and it can only be reproduced by hand now.

"Boom~boom~boom~~"

During the reloading interval, the old king stepped on the pedal that controlled the coaxial machine gun, and the MG-34 began to roar.

"Boom~~"

The KwK 36 88mm tank gun fired again. It can only be said that he is a professional. The old king's shooting speed and accuracy are several times that of Ha Yuan.

"It's a good car. It's a really good car. I wonder if Mr. Huang Weasel can part with it?"

On the way back after the experience, the old king finally couldn't help but ask.

He really wants it. After all, his Royal Tank Museum will open next year, but now he is still in urgent need of a treasure trove.

The Tiger is worthy of being placed in any tank museum, not to mention that this is a full-blooded Tiger that can drive and fight.

"Your Majesty the King, this..."

"Listen to me first. I know you have rejected many people, but they can only afford money, but I am different."

Xia Yu wanted to say something, but the old king interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said what he had already prepared.

Yes, of course the king is different, especially the king of an Arab country.

Youcho is not rich, but he has many rich brothers!

Not to mention the special nature of the royal family, everyone has to give some face.

"Then, Your Majesty the King, please tell me."

Xia Yu, who was interested, signaled the old king to make an offer.

This owner has obviously done his homework, which also shows that he is determined to win, so as long as the price difference is not much different, Xia Yu is willing to complete the deal.

“How about a Leclerc?”

The old king offered his price.
