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

Chapter 282: Business coming to your door, composing difficult problems (please subscribe!)

In addition to the lack of armored vehicles, the Magnesium Army in this camp also has no Black Hawks or Chinooks, let alone armed helicopters such as Apaches and Cobras. They only have damn Reaper drones.

There is nothing I can do but wish them good luck.

The only air support that could be called immediately was a few Gazelles from the Niger Air Force and the two Su-25s of their air force. They were both bought from Ermao in 14. Obviously, there was no call and they could take off at any time. Ability.

However, Xia Yu received news from the Minister of Defense of Kinabalu that the Niger people planned to purchase two real military aircraft to fight against extremist organizations in their territory.

Because Da Mao had delivered two of their Mi-171s not long ago, Chikina Faso, which also had a need for military transport helicopters, went to get experience (ask for quotations), so they learned this important news.

However, due to limited budget, the first choice of the Niger people for Wuzhi was not the newly produced Mi-35M produced by Damao, but the second-hand Mi-24V of Tungsten Qalan.

Compared with a "buck" worth nearly 2000 million US dollars, in the international arms market, a second-hand old female deer that is 500% new and only sells for about [-] million US dollars will be more cost-effective.

Xia Yu said that he also sells Old Hind Deer. If he sells two of them with weapons and ammunition, he can catch up with the turnover of Jihuo Defense for more than half a month, so why not sell it.

Of course, what he sells is the literal Old Hind, not the company’s ultimate Deer.

As a part-time arms dealer, Xia Yu is no longer satisfied with selling ground equipment. Why not enter a new field?

"Yes, they are all in stock. If they really want it, I can give them a basic amount of ammunition and a spare rocket nest."

It was still a familiar market street. Anton led the people outside to check the card, while Sergei and the others stayed in the car and used drones for real-time monitoring. Xia Yu was sitting in Leclerc's car and talking on the phone with the old minister. .

He wasn't very familiar with Nezir, so both parties had to have a middleman during the transaction.

The Minister of Defense of Jakina Faso is the best candidate. At the same time, he also wants to see whether Xiayu's Mi-24V is useful.

They purchased two Mi-35Ms from Da Mao ten years ago. Today, the number is not enough. But at that time, the Bucks only cost a few million dollars, and now they have risen to a level that they cannot afford.

Well, as long as the price is cheap enough, Mi-24V seems to be good.

Let the Niger brothers test the water first. If it works well, they will follow up and buy two more.

He was so interested in asking for something. Xia Yu somewhat understood what the other party meant, so he said that if Jakina Faso was interested, he could give him an exclusive discount.

As for the Hind series, a classic best-selling model with a total output of more than 2300 aircraft, it is not eye-catching to sell more than ten or twenty aircraft in one package. Moreover, its target customers are all repurchases, which directly saves the cost of training equipment operators.

If Party A feels that it is at a loss, Xiayu can at least send more supporting ammunition. Aviation rockets can also become a new profit growth point in the future.

As for anti-tank missiles, a Gatling gun is enough for low-intensity anti-terrorism. It is replaced by a pair of 23mm aerial cannons. Using missiles to hit pickup trucks is really too luxurious for Hei Ge.

Of course, customers are God. As long as they express their needs in this regard, Xiayu also provides the service of adding Huote-3 and Hongjian-8 for extra money, and if they want rough goods by name.

He could think of a solution for the older 9M120, but forget about the huge vortex of the 9M127, which was just installed two years ago!

"Boom~~"

There was an explosion outside the car. Xia Yu opened the hatch and looked up. It turned out that Hans and Alvin were setting off.

Two of the six Mirage-6Ds deployed by the army in Oga were transferred to other airports. Two of them were undergoing mechanical maintenance, and the other two were on combat readiness to deal with the attacks scattered at several bases in the three Sahel countries. Ask for help anytime.

This is normal. Wuzhi is easy to use, but whether it is endurance or speed, it is difficult to travel hundreds of kilometers to fight, so this job can only be done by fixed-wing fighter jets.

"Yes, it's a little noisy here. You and the other party can discuss it carefully and we'll talk later."

Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Xia Yu hung up the phone.

He has the Mi-24V in stock, and the few purchased have been repaired to 7% new and left at the cave branch. As long as the customer selects the configuration and places the final order, it can be delivered before returning to China.

The amount of ammunition and accessories was large enough to be shipped in containers, and the helicopters he and Andre flew over one by one.

"Wow~Wow~~"

Just as Xia Yu was thinking this, the company's Mi-24V also passed over their heads and headed towards the outside of the city at high speed.

The mission of the Glider crew this time was to patrol with bombs in the suburbs of Oga, and half of the instructor team was in the troop transport cabin at the back.

In the past, this job was done by the little antelopes, but because of Xifei's incident, the hairy country guy temporarily grounded all the little antelopes and outsourced all their patrol tasks.

There is no way, the Tiger still has a certain probability of survival when encountering a shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missile, and the Oryx can be said to be dead.

Jihuo Defense also grounded the Little Antelope. Fortunately, the Hind's schedule (not every day) is full, and it can contribute nearly 150 million euros in turnover in a month.

After working for a whole year, you can earn back a helicopter without firing a single shot, which is a very fast return on investment.

But with such chaos in the Sahel, how could it be possible not to fire a single shot or a single rocket?

Seeing that it was still a while before the meal time, Xia Yu called Hunter again and asked about the museum's business situation in the past two days.

In today's patrol, he, as the commander, did not play a big role. He mainly came out to do business and discuss business.

You can do this in the camp, but Xia Yu prefers to stay with his guys.

"Very good. Two days ago we released the winter-painted Bumblebee. As of today's noon data, a total of 68 shots have been fired."

After receiving a call from his boss, Hunter answered excitedly.

That’s an average of 27 shots per day!

Based on the price of a 150mm grenade of 1.8 U.S. dollars, this antique self-propelled howitzer can generate a turnover of 48.6 U.S. dollars for him every day.

At least this is the case this week when the vehicle was released, and the data will gradually drop in the following weeks. However, it is limited to the Eastern Front in winter. You can wear a white smock and a white M40 helmet to take a photo, which is still worth it.

It would be even better if there was some snow on the ground, but unfortunately there is no winter in Konluga, so artificial snow can only be used to set the scene.

Releasing a new car every month is indeed a good way to maintain the popularity of the museum. Visitors will have the pleasure of opening a blind box, which will make people want to come and can't help but apply for an annual pass.

However, there is no harm without comparison. The German three hornets fired for three days, and their turnover can equal that of the hinds for one month.

Although it will eventually return to normal levels within a week or two, it shows the difference in profitability between different tracks.

Unfortunately, there is a development limit, and since it cannot unlock more system functions, the museum can at best be used as a cash cow, providing a guarantee for Xiayu and covering for fire defense.

He then asked about ammunition sales.

The Bovington Tank Museum, which officially provides live-fire shooting services, has contacted Hunter again in the past two days and seems to be interested in placing additional orders.

The other party has made money, and those who don't want to make a special trip to Afika can now choose to go to Yingguo nearby.

These museums that have launched similar projects one after another cannot be called Xiayu's peers, but dealers who help make money. Until a jealous military factory, his real counterpart, stepped forward and brought the price down.

But it didn't matter. At that time, the second and third phases of the Xiayu project were being launched one after another, and the price of the live ammunition shooting of the light scroll chariot was useless.

Because you can't roll up an aircraft carrier that can catapult jet fighters and old-fashioned propeller fighters at the same time.

Differentiated services are the right direction for business development. Xia Yu thinks so, and that's what he is doing.

The two of them ended the call after chatting until their stomachs growled.

It was time for lunch. Xia Yu left Duomi alone to look after the car and went to Weasel K1 to have lunch with Liv, who had been attending online classes all morning.

The girl has a very busy schedule. When she is not patrolling, she will go out for free clinics with the well-digging team. She will spend half a day seeing a doctor and prescribing medicine, and doing a few surgeries in half a day to keep her hand feeling good.

On patrol day, she didn't have much else to do except drive, but she still couldn't waste time.

Helping Xia Yu with some trivial paperwork, and then learning financial knowledge, every day is very fulfilling.

During the days when the Mi-24V was being built, Xia Yu installed a remote-controlled weapon station on the Weasel K1, which made up for the final self-defense shortcomings.

As for defense, in addition to titanium alloy additional armor, it also has light explosive counterattacks.

Although there is no active defense system installed, but operating together with two Weasel infantry combat vehicles, the interceptor shells they fired can cover friendly forces, and Liv is safe enough in the car.

The real high-risk positions in concentrated fire defense should be those combat employees who have penetrated behind enemy lines.

After leaving the cover of the vehicle, even if it was a sneak attack, the probability of them facing enemy firepower was still high.

This is also the reason why the instructor team’s basic salary is more than that of the driver. They deserve this remuneration.

After lunch, Xia Yu started to yawn. After talking to Liv, he went to take a nap on the operating table in the medical cabin at the back.

The size is a bit narrow, but at least it can lie flat, right? This is the exclusive treatment of the boss.

On the other side of Nezir, a mixed convoy of Green Berets and government troops on routine patrols were parked on the roadside to chew on MREs.

The taste of this thing is hard to describe. The veterans of the magnesium army did not like to eat it, but the soldiers of the government army enjoyed it very much.

"Damn it, we only have two M240s in the car, and we don't even have an old godmother. If you ask us to go on a capture mission, aren't you asking us to die?"

Johnson, the team commander, skipped meals and after using the radio to contact the camp, an argument broke out with his superiors.

Quarrels are normal in the army, but it is a soldier's bounden duty to obey orders. Seeing that there is no room for change, he can only accept the order and carry out this task.

The weapons only have M4 and general-purpose machine guns. The firepower is a bit lacking, but the combat intensity of Nezir is also low!

The worried Johnson could only think on the bright side, as no one wanted an accident.

After filling their stomachs, they continued on their way until the convoy arrived at a village near the border before dark.

They will rest here for one night like last time and go back after completing their mission tomorrow.

This is unimaginable in the army. Living in a local village, do you really think of yourself as the king's master?

The soldiers did think so. After all, they were invited here to fight extremist organizations.

This is the perspective of soldiers, and the perspective of politicians is that they provide aid (throwing money) to the Nezhi government in exchange for success.

As the traditional sphere of influence of the Fat people, the Mei people have to take care of the face of their allies on the surface, but they keep making small moves in private.

According to their assessment, despite huge budget investments every year, the influence of the Chinese people in the Sahel is inevitably weakening.

Until these countries continue to have coups, transitioning from pro-defence regimes to centrist regimes, and then to complete counter-attacks, driving away the other party.

The people of Yifa are hard-headed and always want to surrender. There is a high probability that they will not dare to start a war. They will only leave in despair.

At this time, the opportunity for the Magnesium Kingdom came. People who love to spend money are nice to talk to, and the Nezhi government is reluctant to let them leave.

The local civilians do not necessarily have this idea. Some of them want to make money from the Magnesium Army, and some want to drive away all white people and pagans.

At least in this small border village, there are both types of people. When the magistrates come, they immediately kill sheep to reward them.

Soldiers in most countries have very strong spending power, and Lao Ming can be said to be the No. 1. Just two U.S. dollars are enough, and the fresh mutton is indeed delicious.

Just when they were about to start construction, a young man pushed an eighteen-hand motorcycle and left the village in the night.

He was going to call someone, someone who could kill these guys.

…………

“This mutton kebab is really good.”

Xia Yu took off a whole bunch of mutton shanks and said.

Jihuo Defense also ate mutton tonight, but with Chinese barbecue seasonings, which was very pleasant to pair with beer.

"Boss, I discovered a problem. The military helicopters fly low and can confirm personnel targets. However, when we use fighter jets to drop bombs, it is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy."

Hans looked like a driver, and he didn't forget to talk about work even during the meal.

When a fighter jet is on the ground, the aiming pod can distinguish vehicle targets, but due to altitude issues, it is too difficult to distinguish personnel targets.

"This is currently unsolved. Why does air support need to be guided by the ground? It is because it is afraid of hitting our own people. Secondly, ground personnel must accurately report the point. Both parties must establish an efficient communication method."

Xia Yu said after taking a sip of beer.

This is also the difficulty of combined fighter operations. Don't call for air support and blow yourself up.

If you can't identify yourself and the enemy, just don't fire.

Like today's operation of the Fruit Bat crew, 8 of the 6 precision-guided bombs attacked vehicle targets of the two armed factions.

By blowing up their cars and heavy machine guns, you can achieve the purpose of weakening the opponent.

If you blow up a house directly, who knows if there are civilians inside, you have to pay attention to the international impact and morality.

For example, the Mirage-2000D blew up a gathering of people. Later, it was said that it was a wedding scene in that village. The two parties argued for a long time with no result, because the truth at this time was no longer important.

It will be safer to blow up the car first in the future. If you don't run away after blowing up, but still shoot into the sky, that is definitely the correct target.
