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

Chapter 291 I want a Chinook, but we are enemies on a narrow road (please subscribe!)

For example, Xia Yu has been talking about a military transport helicopter for almost half a year - the Chinook CH-47.

It does not have the weakness of the tail rotor and can hover and land at a single point in places such as cliffs and rooftops. Not to mention the cargo hold of 9.2 meters x 2.51 meters x 1.98 meters, which is nearly 20 cubic meters more than the Super Hornet and can be packed in one go. Two F-470 combat rubber assault boats.

There is nothing we can do about the SOC-R river combat boat. That thing can only fit in the cargo hold of a turboprop transport aircraft, but it has a full load displacement of less than 10 tons, so it can be flown directly by hanging it.

To further develop the Philippine market, a Chinook is really needed for fire defense, so Xiayu also tried to contact Europe and the Middle East.

As a result, guess what, the other party said that it had something in stock. It was a CH-47D that was not even 2000% new. If they dared to ask for million US dollars, screw you!

Doing business is about being friendly and making money, but we are not taken advantage of. A Chinook of this quality is worth tens of thousands, so Xia Yu doesn't hesitate to ask for a penny more.

Now that the Magnesium people are right in front of us, if we don't take the opportunity to buy one of better quality, are we really going to pick up those old export goods that have been sold for several times?

Of course, Lao Magnesium is not a philanthropist. In the past two years, he sold 14 outdated CH-45Ds (47 years old).

Not counting consumable parts such as avionics and engines, as well as other expenses, the average price is less than 500 million per aircraft.

The price made Xia Yu excited, but after the rag-picking Koreans got it, they discovered that these old Chinooks, which were older than the pilots, had at most two to three hundred hours of flight life left.

The cost of overhaul and upgrade is more expensive than buying a new CH-47F. This is how people do business.

Because it was to be displayed publicly, the first Chinook of the Central Fire Defense Department, the aircraft body could not be too old.

And with the first one helping to provide cover, if he later acquires the second and third aircraft, Xia Yu can turn waste into treasure with ease.

"I think a CH-47D with a newer year of production would be a more appropriate price."

The Super Hornet landed in the open space of the base. Seeing the four scarred Green Berets being helped out of the cargo hold, Xia Yu reported his psychological price to Joseph.

According to the casualty pension standard of the Magnesium Army, the one-time pension for death in a war zone is 10 yuan, the military group life insurance is 40 yuan, and there are also survivor welfare plans, alimony and compensation, and money from social security. The death of a soldier will cost almost 100 million yuan. Dollar.

There are 12 green shells in a team, 1 escaped and 4 were rescued, that is, 7 died. The starting compensation is 700 million, but the concentrated fire defense that rescued 4 green shells seems to only get 400 million?

This is not how accounts are calculated. Most of the time, face is more important than money, especially for an army or a country.

In an already embarrassing situation, Jihuo Defense helped the Magnesium Army to save some face, and gave the credit for saving people to the other party, making the outside world think that they saved the people themselves.

These all come at a premium, and after so many years of wealth, they can still afford the bills.

If Xia Yu chooses cash, 2000 million is a more appropriate number. It should also be noted that this price does not include Belmukhtar's $500 million reward.

The people of Magnesia still don't know who they attacked just now. They can only be sure that the other party is an unknown extremist organization.

So Xia Yu planned to make another profit from them after getting hold of the Chinook.

The same is true for the people of the country, but the firepower in the new camp is a bit poor, and it is not sure whether Hamadun is dead, but if Masina is beaten to residual health, he can ask for early settlement of the reward.

Xia Yu, who is from the country of Mao, also doesn't want money. He already has what he wants and is going to make a price when he gets back. Now he will settle the account with the people of the country of Mei.

Don't think about the latest CH-47F, they won't sell it to you even if you add money. There is still a chance for the newer CH-47D. Once you get it, you can modify it yourself.

"Don't your companies already have Super Hornets? Why do you still need Chinooks?"

Joseph asked in surprise.

Is the current PMC company so strong? It buys armed helicopters and transport helicopters one by one. Their domestic military contractors, the more arrogant ones, only use Black Hawks.

Although Chinooks are cheap to operate, maintenance and repairs are troublesome.

Coincidentally, the last thing Xia Yu fears is trouble.

"This can only transport people, but my business also needs to deliver something else, and only the Chinook best meets such conditions."

There was nothing to hide, he explained to Joseph.

After all, the Super Hornet is an old platform, and the 1.83-meter cargo compartment width is far from ideal. It can't even fit a cat car. No wonder China has to develop a special wide-body model.

"That is, the Chinese people cannot make such a wide transport helicopter. Apart from the Mi-26 of the Chinese people, the only one is our Chinook."

Joseph didn't know that there would be newcomers coming soon, but it had to be said that the Mi-26 was indeed a monster.

There is a chance that Xia Yu wants to collect one and just incorporate it into the company's operations, so forget it!

On the one hand, it is too eye-catching, and it is not used for concentrated fire defense. With a lifting capacity of 20 tons, no heavy infantry fighting vehicle or tank can lift it.

It is not necessary to deliver 80 to 90 soldiers at one time. It is not as flexible as the two Chinooks, which can be delivered to different positions on the battlefield.

"To be honest, without this hostage rescue operation, if you cooperated with the military until you accumulated 2000 million in contract money, you wouldn't be able to get a Chinook in exchange. But now I think there is an 8% chance that the higher-ups will agree."

Returning to the topic, Joseph said solemnly.

The prerequisites are very important. Prior to this, Jihuo Defense and the Magnesium Army were not even in a cooperative relationship, and even if they were a cooperative relationship, there was no such affection.

But the situation is different now. It is the people of the Mei country who owe the fire defense, and the people of the Mao country are watching from the sidelines. Being too stingy will affect the image.

A CH-8D that is 47% new is stuck at the internal price of US$2000 million. If you really let go of it, someone would want it for US$3000 million.

Therefore, it is the most cost-effective deal to buy equipment without spending money. You can remove the premium and pay for it at the self-purchase price.

After this point, you don’t have to think about it at all in normal times.

If Party A is replaced by gangsters like Afika, they will use the mine for cash. It is possible that the mine is still in the hands of some armed warlord, and you have to snatch it back yourself.

This is the case for the uranium mine in Xiayu. After returning from China, his equipment personnel are almost ready.

Then go over there and take a look to see if it can be officially developed.

"Mr. Captain, if you say this, I feel more at ease. Good equipment is combat effectiveness, and combat effectiveness is the guarantee for the continuous flow of orders from PMC Company."

"So rather than chasing profits, I am more willing to invest funds in equipment to better serve our customers."

After becoming the boss, Xia Yu always said one thing after another.

He is converting new customers into old customers. With the large investment made by the Chinese people some time ago, the armed factions and extremist organizations near Ojia have calmed down a lot.

In addition to the many orders for fruit bat crews, most of the contracts they can receive are war zone patrol contracts.

This is also the reason why Xia Yu took on the "open" task of attacking the Masina Liberation Front.

There are still almost two months left. He doesn’t want to go home so early to celebrate the New Year. He still wants to earn another 30 to 50 million!

Although he is the boss, Xia Yu's heart is the same as that of a worker.

"Company culture determines the height of an enterprise. I finally understand why Jihuo Defense has such a strong combat effectiveness."

Joseph was convinced. Why were they beaten so badly? Was Green Bay not strong enough?

No, it's because they are fighting an asymmetrical battle. They only have damn SUVs and pickup trucks, not even a 60mm mortar. They still ambush enemies with guns and cannons. How do you say this?

It's the Army and Congress. They are reluctant to give money and equipment, which caused today's tragedy.    If we had used an Apache, no, a Cobra, and dispatched air support as soon as possible, 7 people would not have died.

"I will make a detailed report to the superiors regarding this."

Finally, Joseph added another sentence.

It means to say good things for Jihuo Defense, which is what it should be. If the other party fails, he will probably take off his clothes and face a lawsuit.

But now that he had successfully rescued four of them and dealt a painful blow to the culprit, Joseph felt that the punishment he faced was at most a punishment.

All of this was brought about by Jihuo Defense, and he had to speak for the other party both emotionally and rationally.

That's how strong you are, you can take over everything. If you're not strong enough, it's useless to spend money on everything.

Having left a deep impression on the people of Meiguo, Xia Yu believes that there will definitely be a contract in the future.

After all, the Nezir extremist organization opened their eyes with an ambush, and it would be unjustifiable to carry out an unclear campaign.

The budget specially approved for the Afika War Zone had to fall into Xia Yu's hands.

They can go up by themselves, but once the hostages are rescued, the equipment transfer speed will slow down.

Without equipment, with the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, Green Bay's performance during the day was the upper limit.

There can be no more casualties, so outsourcing becomes the only option at this time.

Most of the PMC companies with Magnesium background are deployed in the Middle East. Even if they can come over temporarily, it is better to use concentrated fire defense that has already demonstrated its strength.

"How's it going? Is the oil filled?"

After separating from Joseph, Xia Yu returned to the two helicopters.

There are only two MQ-9s deployed at this UAV forward base, but the turboprop engines also use jet fuel, so the company has one Soviet helicopter and one French helicopter, all of which have a taste of the Chinese JP-8.

"It's full and ready to take off."

"Then let's retreat."

Knowing that they were going back to Oga, the two military pilots immediately got into the cargo bay of the Super Hornet.

It had been a long day, but luckily they were all still alive.

After taking off, Xiayu felt pretty good. The people of Magnesium are good at playing with oil. Behind the system-refined aviation fuel is this kind of JP-8. I heard that the M1A2 gas turbine also uses this oil, but there is a high probability that they will not put it into Afi. Card deploys main battle tanks.

As for the crispy M2/M3 Bradley and Stryker big eight wheels, they will not come here.

Xia Yu estimated that at most they would be equipped with some mine-resistant and anti-ambush vehicles. Ground strength was not the focus, but there might be a few more helicopters.

For example, the classic configuration of Birds and Blackhawks, Apache and Cobra, don’t think about it anyway, it would be too exciting for the Chinese people.

Lao Mei wanted to reach out, but he also took into account the attitude of the people from the country. Otherwise, why would there be only two drones in this base.

They have so many armed helicopters, and if they just pull over a few, it won't be a big deal today.

It's a pity that it doesn't work. The military must serve politics. As a soldier, Johnny can't see this, so he makes such remarks as the country is impoverished.

We cannot send Wuzhi or fixed-wing fighter jets, and drones are only marginal.

This time, 7 green shells died, and they sent out transport-type birds and black hawks, so the people in the country would have no objections.

Otherwise, just stay in Jibudi!

If you pay money, you can station troops there, so there won't be any trouble.

However, regardless of all the defenses, the Black Hawk, whose tail rotor is still fragile, is also in danger when portable anti-aircraft missiles become more and more common.

We are not afraid of danger when we focus on fire defense. Sometimes we really can't be brave. It would be great to spend some money and outsource the work.

"Boss, look, there are several donkey carts ahead!"

Hans in the gunner's cabin said suddenly.

His excitement was not over yet and he was not tired at all. He was operating the thermal imaging device to relieve his boredom. Unexpectedly, he discovered a convoy of donkey carts.

"Wait a minute, where did the donkey cart convoy come from? There is definitely something wrong with it."

Xia Yu realized something was wrong, and this direction happened to be between the two base camps.

"Call Shrew, this is Weasel, ask those two people if the new base camp has a certain number of donkeys?"

He immediately contacted Lyman and asked the two traitors to confirm this.

In order to understand Afika, Xia Yu watched a lot of related documentaries. There were camel teams and donkey cart teams traveling in the desert. There could not be such a coincidence!

"They said there are donkeys left by the Po'er people. There are about 10 donkeys in number."

Lyman's words made Xia Yu feel relieved. That's right, the other party should be the remnant soldiers who evacuated the new camp.

Domi and Lao Ke killed all the other's motor vehicles and had no choice but to use donkey carts to evacuate.

As a result, he was unlucky. He didn't go more than ten kilometers when he was hit by Xia Yu who was returning.

As for what was loaded on the donkey cart, it was nothing more than weapons and valuables.

So these guys are good people. They don't have to go to the new camp to search for loot tomorrow. The good stuff is all in the car.

There may even be more valuable ones, such as people with the surname Ha that people in the country would only dream of killing.

Xia Yu felt that he could gain Belmukhtar's appreciation and deliberately refused to claim the VBCI tank attack case. He must be a smart person.

He didn't die during the hostage rescue operation. He definitely wouldn't go to the town to cause trouble. He would just run away.

"Wow~Wow~~"

Seeing the approaching Mi-24V and Hamadun with gauze on his head, his heart went cold for a moment.

I thought I could use the remaining money of the base faction and the remaining soldiers of Masina to find a place to start over and become bigger and stronger, but the other party's ghost lingered.

Actually, the two helicopters were just looking to bluff people. Except for the interference bombs that can set off fireworks, all the ammunition was empty. However, the combat employees carried by the helicopters still had more than half of the ammunition left.
