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

Chapter 267 Mid-term settlement, discovering talents (please vote for me!)

"I wonder how much you want?"

New equipment is definitely better than second-hand equipment and more uniform.

The Minister of Defense is no longer obsessed with the weapons and equipment of the less than two platoons of the Masina Liberation Front.

“M70突击步枪120支，M84通用机枪6挺，RPG-7发射器8具，60mm口径的M57迫击炮6门，再加一个基数的弹药，你看30万欧元怎么样？”

Xia Yu asked the other party.

He didn't ask for this price blindly. The equipment purchased by the Po'er National Salvation Armed Forces alone cost so much. The ammunition Xiayu was given as a friendly gift. After all, he still had a battalion of equipment to sell.

"Yes, that's all right. Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Sherlock."

the Minister of Defense said excitedly.

He knew the market price. Because of the freight and profit, and the turmoil of the situation, the normal quotation would have to be increased by [-]%. Xia Yu was willing to give them this price. That was a huge advantage. How could he not be willing to do so? .

"Then it will be scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and we will deliver the goods the day after tomorrow."

Xia Yu thought for a while and said.

After all, I’m not a professional seller of small arms, so that’s pretty much it!

"That's unfortunate. I'm going back today, and I'll have to ask my subordinates to bring money."

the Minister of Defense said regretfully.

He really had to go, the border matter had been settled, and Ouagadugu still had a lot of things waiting for him, and he couldn't stop for a moment.

"See you next time, Mr. Minister."

After sending the other party out of the camp, Xia Yu watched their convoy go away before returning to the barracks.

The next time I see the other party, he may no longer be the Minister of Defense. After all, the frequency of coups in Afika is a bit high. Maybe this one will be overthrown at some time.

Even in half of the cases, there is no need to use force. If you directly go to TV stations and radio stations to promote it, the probability of success is not low.

It is easy to engage in armed rebellion, but it is easy to fight. This is the case for Guo and Feifei.

Xia Yu came to the common room and saw that a third of the people were here, so he clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to stop.

"Masina in Gukina Faso is their branch, and they haven't been here for a long time, and their net worth is not very rich. The realization of all their assets is only 16 US dollars, 8% of which they massacred Javazi. The harvest of the village.”

"This 30%, which is US$5, should be inherited by Dundu, but he is not yet an adult. I will give him US$500 every month until he is 18 years old."

After speaking, he took out 5 yuan and put it aside, ordered 5 cards and handed them to Dundu who was confused.

"Pa Pa, this is too much money, I, I can't have it."

Suddenly becoming a rich man, Dundu waved his hand quickly.

"This is just a lot, you can make more in the future, and this should be yours."

He also became Xia Yu's godson, and planned to take on important responsibilities in the future, otherwise he would not have so many things to do.

Xia Yu is professional at winning people's hearts.

"Just take it if you give it to me."

Putting 500 US dollars into Dundu's hand, the young man was really moved.

It's not because of the money, but because of Xia Yu's attitude. After losing most of his relatives, he has a new home.

"Okay, let's follow the original pattern for the rest, Haitang Rabbit, you can distribute it."

He threw the remaining 10,000+ to Liv. Since Duomi was away, she was responsible for managing the money. Xia Yu left the room after saying that.

The money is not very much, each person can get a few thousand yuan, which can only be regarded as pocket money.

Fortunately, Xia Yu made a lot of money. In addition to sharing the spoils, the employees received basic salary plus various allowances.

For example, if you are deployed in Mali this time, you can get an additional deployment allowance ranging from 100 to 200 US dollars per day, and the total package price for a single patrol provided by the Chinese is 2500 euros.

Even if the patrol frequency is once every three days, it is enough to cover the cost of employment and make some money.

This is even more true when there is a fight. With 5 euros per person, Xie Fu would never have imagined that he was so valuable.

If it were the rebels, they would definitely vote. This money would ensure that they would not cause trouble, but these people are extremists and cannot be bought with money, so they can only spend the money to buy their lives.

Cleaning the battlefield, they collected a total of 63 corpses. Except for the two dead civilians, the rest were all members of the Masina Liberation Front.

Including the dispatch costs of personnel and equipment, the mid-term settlement totaled 338.6 million euros.

If it were the people from China who wanted to achieve the same effect, I'm afraid even 500 million euros would not be able to do it.

One person killed or injured is a loss of hundreds of thousands, and a VBCI infantry fighting vehicle destroyed is a loss of millions.

In this relatively low-intensity anti-terrorism operation, they lose an average of 2 combat vehicles every month, and since the operation began in 14, the Army has rotated at least 50% of its equipment.

If the battle continues, this number will further increase to 75%.

This is already the limit, because the remaining 25% are Leclerc tanks, multiple rocket launchers, and various land-based missiles that will not be delivered to Afika.

So this is a very cost-effective deal. Whether it is hiring Golden Oak Leaf or focusing on fire defense, the loss of personnel and equipment has nothing to do with them. They have outsourced the risk.

After confirming that 50% of the contract payment for the interim settlement, which is 169.3 million euros, was recorded, Xia Yu withdrew from the online bank account.

The remaining 50% will be settled on a quarterly basis and deposited into the account just opened by Jihuo Defense at the Afika Branch of Laguo Industrial Bank (SG).

This bank also has an outlet in Konluga. Osa had robbed several banks in the country, but he never dared to open an SG outlet near the embassy and consulate of the country. In the end, he was just timid.

How is it like here in the Sahel, where the Mao army is directly attacking? Doesn’t the Mao country dare to rob the bank?
However, Xia Yu heard what Lao Anka said, saying that Busa intended to acquire 93.5% of SG's shares in Guo Branch.

The sheep's head hanging on the hair of the Chinese people is still of some use. As the only bank in Kongluga that has not been robbed, the deposit business has increased several times compared with before the war.

Xia Yu expressed his understanding of this. Ordinary people will always seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, just like during the Republic of China, they were willing to deposit money in foreign banks.

However, as the influence of the country in Afika declines, this phenomenon should change.

"du~du~"

Hearing the horn of a truck, it was the supply convoy coming.

There are a total of 4 double-trailer Renault military trucks, and 8 of the 6 containers are for fire defense, and that's not all.

Priority was given to vehicles and equipment. The St. Paul only carried vehicles and supplies for combat. Along with the ship, there were also the batch of light weapons and equipment captured in the Philippines.

In order to open up the situation of concentrated fire defense in the Sahel region, Xiayu prepared to ship goods on the spot, so he arranged a second ship and borrowed the transportation fleet of the Chinese people to pull all the goods over like ants moving.

This is also the reason why he was able to reach a deal with the Minister of Defense of Kinabalu.

The convoy entered the camp and first unloaded supplies from Dominic and others, and then Kuhn directed the other party to unload six containers for concentrated fire defense.

The containers containing weapons and ammunition do not need to be dismantled because they have not been opened since they were loaded on the ship. However, one section was airlifted from China and put on the ship in containers in Kongluga.

As for counter-terrorism, except for extremists and armed factions who are mobilized collectively, most of them are mobilized in small groups.

It is useless to send out large troops at this time. On the contrary, sending out a team of instructors will be more marketable.Especially delivering and withdrawing snipers and precision shooters to carry out mid- and long-range harassment and attacks.

So after learning about the fire defense situation, work started again in my hometown.

When I opened the specially marked container in person, there were four engineering plastic boxes at the door that were incompatible with the military green wooden boxes inside.

"A box of this size contains a gun?"

The guys who were fine gathered around to watch the fun, and Leonardo asked.

"It's a gun, but it's not a machine gun."

Xia Yu said as he opened the first box and took out a high-precision sniper in a disassembled state. He wiped off the excess gun oil and then assembled it with a click.

"It's a sniper rifle, but you've never seen one like this?"

Except for the technical employees, the combat employees all played with guns, but Paul was the only sniper, so he didn't know much about sniper rifles.

"What are you looking at? I haven't seen it either."

Seeing everyone's eyes converging on him, Paul said quickly.

He is a sniper, but he is not a firearms expert. He is only familiar with a few sniper rifles. In other words, he can quickly become familiar with a sniper rifle that he does not recognize, but he really does not recognize it.

"Rabbit, come and help."

There were still three boxes left, and Xia Yu, realizing that he couldn't handle it alone, immediately called for help.

"Yes, boss."

Paul stepped forward to help, but waited for him to open a box next to him. The parts of the gun inside seemed different from the one Xia Yu had?
"They are indeed different. These are two types of guns, two of each type, both caliber .338 Lapua Magnum."

Xia Yu opened the third box and introduced it while opening it.

"Our mission is to use these two guns in actual combat in the next battle. This is a desert area now. In the future, we will have the opportunity to test in other terrains and write detailed reports."

New guns are not for nothing, and it is also important to find out the shortcomings. However, Xia Yu did not expect that two new high-precision snipers with a caliber of 8.6×70mm would be released in the south and the north.

Sure enough, .300 has become an outdated caliber, and the future is .338.

This made him very happy. Who is not a .338 party?

Also included in the box are a total of 6000 rounds of 8.6mm high-precision sniper bullets. If one bullet kills an enemy, it will cost 3 million euros. It will kill all the Chinese people, so it is impossible.

These bullets are used for training and testing. Of course, there are commercial bullets and reloaded bullets available on the market as a reference group. Xia Yu is rigorous in equipment testing. He and Paul killed 50 each. Target, you can almost accumulate the data needed to write a report.

"What, boss, I never went to college."

Paul said a little shyly.

Of course I'm happy to have a new gun to shoot him with, but I'd better spare him for writing the report!

"I'll write it first, you can refer to it, and I'll polish it at the end."

Xia Yu understood Paul's helplessness. After all, not everyone can be talented in literature and martial arts.

If he had not joined the army, he might have started his dream of Internet literature and become a great writer.

If he hadn't become a soldier and wanted to kill those non-commissioned officers, he must have been a clerk in the army.

Furthermore, Paul could only write it in Russian first, then translate it into French by himself, and finally translate it into Chinese by him. It would be better to make it better.

"That's great, I'm good at this."

Paul gained confidence in his high school diploma.

But he is indeed not stupid. In addition to longing for military life, joining the army also wants to leave the poor Siberia.

His grades are good, and he has taught himself French well in reading and writing. In addition to military skills, this is also a plus for him to join the fire defense.

"It's still early, just write it down before the end of this deployment. Now let's get familiar with the gun."

Let Paul get familiar with the gun, while Xia Yu ran away.

He is only a part-time sniper, and his main job is business. This batch of equipment will be delivered to the other party in the afternoon, and he has to prepare the equipment.

In the afternoon, the transport convoy from Jakina Faso arrived on time, headed by an artillery lieutenant.

"Hello, Lieutenant Ibrahim."

Xia Yu shook hands with the other party.

What can I say about the appearance of this one? It feels very resolute and should be very popular among black women.

"Hello, Mr. Sherlock, and thank you for everything you have done for the people of Jakina Faso. When the Masina Liberation Front was operating near my station, it caused a large number of attacks. Unfortunately, we only killed one of them. Car people.”

Lieutenant Ibrahim said regretfully.

"Oh? Killed with a mortar?"

Xia Yu asked curiously.

The opponent is artillery, but the main equipment of the Chikina Faso Army is mortars.

"Yes, 60mm mortars are not much worse than heavy machine guns, especially when the opponent also has heavy machine guns."

"Then you and your soldiers are very powerful. My guys and I prefer to use machine guns to solve problems."

Xia Yu praised the other party.

Using a 60mm mortar to hit moving targets would be considered elite in other regions, let alone Afika.

Those who are proficient in business to this level are either talented like the pillars in Bright Sword, or they have academic qualifications and use knowledge to fight.

When asked, it turned out that the other person was really a top student who graduated from Ouagadougou University. He decided to join the army of Nakina Faso because he saw the poverty and war in the country.

This is amazing. There is also a good university in Afika, and some college students are willing to write essays for Chinese students. However, due to practical reasons, the conditions for running the school are a bit poor.

Instead of becoming a doctor or lawyer, he chose to serve the country by joining the army, which is very admirable.

If Xiao Anka hadn't had good connections, he would have been in trouble. He joined the army after graduating from high school but didn't go to college, and relied on connections to rise to the rank of lieutenant company commander.

Of course, I learned a lot while working as a substitute in Xiayu. I learned a lot about what it means to be a soldier, and eventually went to China to study again, so the result was good.

"Mr. Sherlock, the money is all here. Can I see the equipment?"

Ibrahim didn't say much and asked to see the goods.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Xia Yu accepted the money and led the way. Only three of the five and a half containers belonged to the other party. Two companies of light weapons and equipment would be shipped later.

If possible, it would be best to attack the opponent together. After all, Mari has no shortage of light weapons, and he has not yet connected with Nezir.
