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

Chapter 260: New arrival, the situation is complicated (please subscribe!)

"Baby, Super Hornet, and the Hind?"

The deputy took off his sunglasses. He always felt that the Mi-24V was strange.

"Just switch to Tiger style. I've only seen such a combination in 07."

The captain said in a very emotional tone.

The Navy retired all Super Hornets in 10 years and replaced them with better Caracal. The Tiger was on board the ship in 07, not to mention the Gazelle. In the 70s, it was commissioned by the army, navy and navy, and half of them were installed. The century is not even here yet!
"Is this the helicopter fleet of that PMC company? With such strength, it must be the first echelon in the industry?"

"There are a lot of hard goods, but I heard that scale is not an advantage. Most of the counterparts they have deployed to Mali are a combination of dolphins and small antelopes."

The firepower of the Hind is too strong, and in addition to the cheap second-hand mobile phones that can be obtained from the Hair Army, the Blackfoot Alliance and Golden Oak Leaf are equipped with single-digit armed Dolphin AS-365M, and double-digit Oryx. .

Well, a few of them are still the legacy of the White Hat. As long as they can still fly, don't think about retiring.

"That is to take the elite assault route. With a small number of people, they can accumulate combat effectiveness. They can work more efficiently than ordinary contractors. It is no wonder that the Ministry of National Defense would hire them."

The two expressed their understanding of this. The Mao army, like the armies of most Western countries, could not afford to die.

The pension payment is only a small part. What matters is public opinion at home. Since the launch of Operation Barkhane Dunes, they have so far killed double digits of soldiers.

The media always asks when the operation will end and when our troops will be withdrawn.

Politicians are speechless. Do you think we really want to fight against terrorism?

It's really good to garrison troops to exert influence. Of course, you can also train your troops. After all, it's rare to have the opportunity for actual combat.

It's just that it's hard to explain the loss of many people. For some highly dangerous combat tasks, direct subcontracting to military contractors is the most appropriate choice.

They work for money, and no one cares about their death toll. Although many contractor employees have just changed their military uniforms and taken off their national flags, they are still the same people.

This is how it goes from serving the country to serving a company, just be open-minded.

"Wow~Wow~~"

The fleet traveled all the way across Genea and arrived at Bacoma, the capital of Mali.

This is the headquarters of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali and the headquarters of Operation Barkhane Dune of the Army.

Along with the Mali government army, the personnel deployment and material transportation of the three forces also transited here.

"Go to Oga, your little antelope, transport it directly by transport plane, we have set up a supply point in Motip."

After Xia Yu met a brigadier general in charge of them, he received specific deployment instructions.

Mari is now divided into three war zones. Oga, the gateway to the Sahara, belongs to the east.

But even this nearest war zone is 1500 kilometers away from Bacoma, the capital of Mali. Whether it is Super Hornet or Hind, the voyage has just exceeded [-] kilometers and has to replenish fuel midway.

"Our fighter jets are also deployed to Oga, right?"

"Yes, the airport there is stationed with a small group of Mirage-2000Ds and two Mirage F1 CRs from Golden Oak Leaf."

The Brigadier replied in the affirmative.

The Blackfoot Alliance is still using Mirage III, so it has not been able to undertake aerial strike business. Golden Oak Leaf is very foresighted. In the past two years, it invested two late-model Mirage F1 CRs with relatively new airframes. It was a critical moment. I just got the job!
But although it is a reconnaissance type, thanks to the fact that the hairy country guys can make a living, they retired the Mirage F1 CR, but also removed the mounted Thales ASTAC tactical signal analyzer pod and installed it on the Mirage-2000D. Golden Oak Ye's two Mirage F1 CRs were not much better than the Mirage F1 that Xia Yu shot down.

The air combat is better than the F-4K, but the mount is much weaker. The theoretical maximum bomb load is 6300 kilograms, but in reality it can only carry 4000 kilograms, which is eight or nine MK82 rounds missing.

If we use precision-guided munitions, it doesn’t matter if the bomb load is smaller. However, the accuracy of the first-generation laser-guided bombs developed by Matra and Thomson-CSF is not good, so they will give the Mirage 2000D after the millennium. Adapted to Paveway II.

The old inventory from that year has been cleared out long ago, and Golden Oak Leaf can still only throw iron bombs or shoot expensive air-to-ground missiles.

Missiles cannot be used, and aerial bombs have to compensate for accuracy with quantity, so it is okay when there is no competition, but once there is competition, there will be comparison.

In addition, the 6 Mirage-2000Ds in Zhaojun's own fighter squadron are a bit difficult to take care of 3 theaters. Now with the addition of concentrated fire defense, it will be much better.

Furthermore, Alvin also wanted to increase his intensity and stayed in Kongluga. He could only fly for two or three hours a week, which was just to maintain his health.

"Fruit bat, after lunch tomorrow, arrive at Oga in Mari before three o'clock."

"Yes, boss!"

After hanging up the phone on Xia Yu, Alvin immediately found Wang Kai, and the two went back to pack their luggage together.

It’s finally time to set off, it’s been a long time coming.

Rather than acting as an imaginary enemy, he felt that actual combat was more suitable for him. Even if it was just an air-to-ground strike, it would be better than a simulated air combat!

Alvin thinks so, and Xia Yu agrees with him.

After arranging for the guys to stay in a nearby hotel, he dialed Kuhn's number.

The convoy has already set off. In addition to their three vehicles, the equipment and supplies transportation team of the Hair Army also has three heavy trucks for them, so that they can pull everything in one trip.

In the direction of Alien, the batch of Leclerc given to Yosef has also been shipped.

The two vehicles belonging to concentrated fire defense were loaded onto a separate boat and officially sent to Genea.

There is no need for them to come and pick up the car then, the people from the country will help deliver it to the Oga front line.

As for Hans and Domi, their courses are still half a month away and they should be able to arrive a week earlier than the car.

Not bad, after all, it takes too little time to modify it until it becomes combat effective.

As for whether to call Hans, Xia Yu thought it would be better to talk things over face to face. After all, the good news should not go to outsiders!

Rather than taking advantage of outsiders, such a good sister might as well be a wife for her brother. This directly upgrades the relationship from brother to uncle.

The nephew dog, the nephew dog, left after eating.

There is no shortage of food now, but if Xiayu has a little weasel, how about relying on Uncle Meerkat to drive a tank and earn back the money for diapers?
It's necessary, after all, he plans to have two children in the car crew, and the burden is all on Hans' shoulders!

To be honest, Liv is not ready to be a mother yet, but when fate comes, what is supposed to come will come, so just treat it calmly.

There was no talking all night, and after breakfast the next day, Lyman and Kohler stayed behind to pick up the transport convoy.

The remaining people, after checking the status of Super Hornet and Hind, officially took off for Oga.

Leaving the capital, which still has some greenery, all we can see is desert.

In fact, we haven’t reached the desert yet, but because it is the dry season, the savanna has directly turned into a desert. It will be much better when the rainy season comes.However, from Oga to Kidal in the north, there is really nothing but sand.

And why Mali went into chaos is closer to the national rebellion of Guo than the religious opposition of Feifei.

The Tuareg people, who make a living by herding in the desert, do not want to be governed by Bakoma. They want to establish their own Azawad (country) in the north of Mali.

Xia Yu once learned specifically that during the Kingdom of Mali, the Tuareg people were the big thieves in the desert. They would attack caravans crossing the desert. Later, in order to continue plundering, they changed from direct robbery to protection. It’s a waste.

In modern times, this group of guys has not changed much. Many people will choose to work as mercenaries in Lipiya when they reach adulthood. However, with the fall of Cardano, they have returned to their hometowns with weapons.

Back then, the arrogant Lao Ka spent money all over the world, and how much equipment did they buy? So what they got back were all good things, much better than the Bakoma government forces, and the idea of ​​separatism was born from this.

Unmentioned, first the Coordination Movement of Azawad was established, and then there were armed organizations such as the Ansadine Brigade, the Masked Brigade, and the Movement for West African Unity. Later, the jihadists also joined in the fun, and the whole of Mali was in chaos based on the Sahel. It became a pot of porridge.

This was something that the people of the country who had buried the nail (to let the Tuareg mercenaries go) didn’t expect. How did these guys become bigger and stronger?
This is how Pandora's box is opened. It is the local people who are ravaged by the war.

Xia Yu hoped that he could use the people's budget to bring them short-term peace.

Yes, short term.

Unless the Bacma and the Tuareg put aside their hatred together, just like the Lu Wangxi who murdered millions of people, and the two sides shake hands and make peace without even distinguishing between races, and speak with the same gun to the outside world, it will be difficult to achieve long-term peace.

It would be the same even if the Tao people ran away. After all, the Tuareg had been bandits for thousands of years, and herding was really just a part-time job.

Therefore, it would be good to have a short-term peace. The work of concentrated fire defense is to spend a few months driving the armed groups entrenched in Oga from the city.

"Mr. Weasel, welcome to Oga."

At the Hairjun military camp next to Oga Airport, the person in charge, Colonel Monier, expressed his welcome to Xia Yu.

"I believe you will fall in love with this place soon. In addition to the Coordinated Movement of Azawad in the main city, there are more than 10 armed factions with more than 100 guns in the northern region of Oga. It really makes people have the urge to go crazy. .”

Anti-terrorism and anti-terrorism, the more anti-terrorism, the more terror. It is not surprising that Meunier went straight to the front, he was indeed under great pressure.

"Colonel Meunier, how many people are there? Three thousand or five thousand?"

Xia Yu was not frightened and only listened to him ask.

"There are 4 people in the main city, including at least 50 Tuareg people. There are more than 4000 people in the entire Oga district, and there are at least [-] people from various armed factions."

Meunier gave ballpark figures.

"It's been three years. They have been fighting on their own, and we have killed them. As a result, the number of people is getting bigger and bigger. I don't want to say anything about this except curse words."

He is an irritable old man, but he is relatively restrained. Xia Yu has a preliminary evaluation of Meunier.

"Of course, more civilians died. Just yesterday, there was a boom. Nine people died in the neighborhood near the airport. Of course, more people were injured. It was so tragic."

It was quite miserable. Their style was obviously that of jihadists. Azawad was the one coordinating the movement, and a round of rockets hit them directly.

Unlike most government troops and rebels who use 107mm rocket launchers to fight guerrillas, the Tuareg actually have BM-21 Hail rocket launchers.

All I can say is thank you to Ka Dazuo for the gift, but they have consumed a lot of rockets in the past three years, and they have used them very sparingly.

"There have been hailstorms in Oga. The last time they used it was a year ago, and they killed the government troops."

Monnier took a sip of water and continued.

"I have been vigilant. If they replenish their ammunition one day, we and the blue helmets are likely to become their new targets."

The Mao people started to fight, but the blue helmets also followed suit. It can only be said that not everyone is selling the face of the United Nations. It would be safer not to fight back. These people will also pick the weaklings.

"You have to be vigilant. Rockets are too scary. If it's hail, thirty or forty of them will fall in a round, and you won't have time to react. I'd rather be bombarded by a 155mm howitzer."

Xia Yu strongly agreed. He brought the guys here to make money and export. It would be too bad to be bombed.

Speaking of which, it is the fault of the people of the country themselves. Just let the Tuaregs go and go back. The heavy equipment must be left behind!
As a result, he didn't stay, and now his own people are also worried.

"Yes, if they gather more than three howitzers, they can detect them immediately, but the rocket launchers are too difficult to catch."

Monnier was referring to drones. Xiayu’s old acquaintance Snow Owl has been relegated to the second line. The main model deployed by the Chinese people in the Sahel is the MQ-9A Reaper bought from Lao Mei.

What's strange is that the Reaper they bought doesn't have the function of detecting and attacking, and can only do aerial reconnaissance.

I’m not sure what kind of brain circuit this is. Is it thinking of finding the terrorists first and then taking off the Mirage-2000D as soon as possible?

It's possible, but no matter how rubbish the MQ-9A is, it's still better than the Sparrowhawk A. This time, he relied on the intelligence system of the people of the Republic of China to fight, so he didn't bring a drone.

Of course, there are a lot of consumer-grade ones, and they are all customized models.

"Boom~~"

The roar of fighter jets sounded from a distance, but neither of them raised their heads.

Neither the jihadists nor the Tuareg have fighter jets, so there is no need to worry.

"Call the boss, the fruit bats have arrived!"

Alvin's voice rang out over the silent radio channel, so the fighter in the sky was an F-4K.

"Once Weasel receives it, you will stay at the airport and be stationed with the aviation team."

Xia Yu arranged.

"Yes, boss!"

After Alvin finished speaking, he began to fly to the final landing.

Monnier also received a report from the tower, and the two stopped continuing the conversation and started wandering around the camp.

One introduced various facilities while the other listened carefully. Xia Yu quickly understood everything.

As a fixed camp, they don't need to set up tents and can stay directly in air-conditioned barracks.

This is especially precious in Mali during the dry season. During the day, the temperature is [-] to [-] degrees Celsius, making you sweat even if you don't work, and it is even harder to sleep at night.

Xia Yu had finished drinking the water in the kettle anyway, so he directly poured another bottle from the storage tank.

"It's okay in the camp. Going out to clean up is the most difficult thing. The locals have already adapted to such high temperatures. All newcomers have to overcome it."
