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

Chapter 298: Call for support and win successfully (please vote for me!)

Normal people are like this, but the key point is that Xia Yu is not a normal person!

"Sherlock, if you really want it, verification machine No. 003 is in Suozhou. I will get it for you."

Alexei didn't think much and continued.

After all, they are partners who help solve financial problems, and it is best to try to meet the requirements that the other party can meet.

Compared with the Xiaoniao account that has historical problems, there is nothing that cannot be sold in China as long as the price is right.

If it was an exhibition, it would be nice to display it, even a model aircraft, but what Xia Yu wanted was practicality.

The verification aircraft can only fly in the atmosphere.

If you want to enter space, you must have a mass-produced machine.

After the first unit Buran died in an accident, and the third unit Baikal was only 30% to 50% built, the Birdie, with a completion rate of 95% to 97%, became his only choice.

Others bought the space shuttle just for decoration, but Xia Yu bought it so that he could have a real chance to fly.

Although he was worried that World War III would break out and nuclear winter would come at any time, he made plans to build underground fortresses and nuclear bunkers with great enthusiasm.

However, this is going down, so can Xiayu go up?

Among the many science fiction works he has read, many are settings in which the earth is destroyed and the personnel of near-Earth space stations, lunar outposts, and Mars colonies survive.

Even if you say this is not true and is just human imagination, it doesn't hurt to make more preparations if your ability allows.

Others Xia Yu didn't know, but he still knew. The system prepared the space shuttle to a usable level, handed over the control to the auxiliary pilot module, and then integrated the launch system. Once human civilization reaches its worst time, he can still bring it Taking a large family to escape into space.

Of course, he also hopes that the Little Bird will never be used. If it is not a critical moment of life and death, who would be willing to leave the home planet and become an interstellar wanderer?

"I still want the Birdie."

Xia Yu once again expressed his clear wishes.

It's not that he is forcing others to do something difficult. If Alexei can't do it, he also hopes that the other party will give him some advice.

In addition, Xia Yu's goal is not only the space shuttle of Qianlian Alliance, but also the technology of the Mei people can be used as a reference!

They built 5 ships and blew up 2. However, in the 30 years from the maiden voyage to the end, a total of 135 missions were carried out. In terms of astronaut life support, the other party had more say than the alliance.

"That's it. Now only Russi has spoken. It's easy to say and hard to say. Sorry, I can't help. But you can find a way from Mr. Yevgeny. He and that person You know the relationship.”

Alexei thought for more than ten seconds before finally speaking.

Without some background, he couldn't start his business in Afika at all, but there were more than one arms dealer like him in the country, so he couldn't handle it.

But if it were the cook, Old Ye Fu, the matter would be different. The other party could hear directly from heaven and could speak much easier than him.

The question now is whether Xia Yu has any friendship with him?

Of course there is, what Sherlock likes most is making friends with others.

During that exchange in the country, Xia Yu and Lao Yefu had a great conversation. One was a newcomer in the PMC circle and the other was a newcomer in the catering industry. It can be said that both parties had no reservations.

Even if they never met again after the breakup, they kept in touch and used the phone to communicate about Afika and the Middle East.

Please leave this matter to Lao Yefu, I'm afraid it can really be done.

"Thank you, Alexek. I'll call Mr. Yevgeny right now."

"Du~du~~"

Listening to the blind tone when he hung up the phone, Alexey was a little confused. He and Yevgeny were just ordinary business partners who only helped each other with small favors. How could Xia Yu, a Chinese, have such a good relationship with him?

How can I put it, sincerity is always the surefire skill, and old Ye Fu is not a deep-minded person. Xia Yu, a small boss of PMC who is on the front line, is indeed more powerful than the arms dealer hiding behind the scenes. It’s easy to gain the other person’s favor.

Of course, Lao Yefu himself is not on the front line, but that doesn't stop him from appreciating such a strong man.

"Sherlock? You haven't called me for a long time. Is the business at Afika very busy?"

Old Yeff's iconic voice came from the other end of the satellite phone.

"Something happened to the people of Mei and Ma. Fortunately, the problem has been solved now, and we finally have some free time."

Xia Yu didn't say it clearly, but the whole world knew about it.

"Oh? So it's you, I guess, but we are busy here. Those damn terrorists concentrated their forces and captured Palmyra again!"

"That's more than 4000 people. They are also equipped with tanks. Those rubbish supported by the Magnesium people can't even defeat Raqqa."

Old Ye Fu complained to Xia Yu on the phone.

The home base of those extremist organizations is in the Raqqa area. They not only blocked the Kurds, but also had the power to capture Palmyra. How could he not be angry?

"Oh? Are their combat effectiveness so poor?"

Xiayu sounds like big business, and it's very suitable for fire defense.

"It's worse than you think. In the end, we have to clean up the mess, but the other party spent a lot of money. Even if we expand to 3500 people, we still don't have enough manpower."

Old Ye Fu continued.

Xia Yu secretly thought that it was so fast. There were only 1000 troops at the beginning of the year, but this year there were 2500 troops. The scale reached 100 times that of concentrated fire defense.

This is the Middle East war zone with higher intensity. Only by forming a numerical advantage can we afford to fight.

However, the equipment used by Gurner, whether it was a BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle or a BTR-80 armored personnel carrier, was too fragile in street fighting and caused a considerable number of casualties.

This gave Lao Yefu the idea of ​​​​concentrating fire defense.

Their equipment is so good that the weapons of those terrorists cannot penetrate them at all.

"Sherlock, if Afica is not busy, you can come to Syria. As long as the oil and gas fields are still producing, we can afford your fees."

Yevgeny extended an invitation to Xia Yu.

Their employment by the government forces relies on the continued output of oil and gas fields. After a year-long turmoil in the crude oil market, prices have finally increased.

"Mr. Yevgeny, I will seriously consider what you said, but I have to go back to China in the next period of time, so I will not be able to give you an accurate answer until the end of February at the latest."

Xia Yu said after thinking about it.

Leaving Afika to fight in the Middle East will be a bit sudden for concentrated fire defense, but high-intensity combat will help sharpen the company's combat effectiveness. Like the Magnesium Army, not to mention the air force and navy, their army has a tendency to be disabled by the security war.

In addition to its lack of advantages in numbers and scale, Focused Fire Defense can handle most of the business it can handle. Even if the targets are buffed by anti-aircraft missiles, they cannot penetrate their defenses.

If you want to improve in such a situation, it is actually necessary to challenge with high intensity.

"I'm waiting for you, it's still early, and I wish you a Happy New Year in advance."

Old Ye Fu knew that Chinese people celebrated the Spring Festival, but the time seemed to be different every year. He couldn't figure it out, but he wanted to say congratulations in advance.

"Thank you, but Mr. Yevgeny, I would like a New Year's gift from you even more."

Xia Yu beat the snake with the stick and revealed the purpose of his call today.

"I'm currently in Kazakhstan, collecting a batch of fighter jets from them with Alexey, but when I came to the Baikonur Cosmodrome, I saw how badly the Little Bird space shuttle was being treated, so I wanted to buy one. I came down to give it a new home, but the other party said that it could only be sold with the consent of Xiongsi."

"Mr. Yevgeny, can you help me?"

Old Ye Fu heard this and scratched his bald head. Why did this young man suddenly think of buying a space shuttle? But he might have been a little sensitive before, but now people in the country don't use this thing anymore, so he should be able to sell it!

"I can only try. Whether it can work or not, my words don't count."

He decided to facilitate this deal. After all, he still thought that Xia Yu could help crack the hard nut. Now he had to help with this task both emotionally and rationally.

"That's great, thank you Mr. Yevgeny."

Xia Yu said happily.

It was enough to have the other party's words. As for going to Syria, he had the idea of ​​developing the Middle East market, and this short-term deployment happened to be a test of the waters.

It is impossible in the long term. Afika is the basic foundation of fire defense. In the next 5 to 10 years, Xiayu will be the priority to develop projects here. Generally, it will not leave the local area unless there are special circumstances.

If there are special circumstances, it is not impossible for concentrated fire defense to carry out tactical delivery.

Especially now, the company will operate its first military transport aircraft, which will initially have cross-continental combat capabilities.

It only took two years to achieve this level. Xia Yu is still satisfied with his performance. Regardless of the speed of Gena's attack, it is because the opponent's situation is special. Concentrated fire defense does not follow this route.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu turned around and returned to the hangar. The person in charge thought that he had been frustrated by asking questions, so he thoughtfully skipped the topic and continued to introduce the Little Bird to him.

"So, does it have to be transported using An-225?"

Xia Yu suddenly asked this question.

This unprecedented and unprecedented super-large military transport aircraft was designed and produced for the Buran.

"Boeing 747 can also be used. Magnesium's space shuttles are transported on the backs of two Boeing 747s."

When empty, the Buran is just a few tons different from the Atlantis, and is also within the 90-ton commercial load range of the Jumbo Airliner, so the fixed point needs to be changed.

Xia Yu thought about it and decided that it was still too much trouble. It would be better to use the An-225 so that the cargo space could still be used.

Some time ago, Yi Selie retired four F4s, which were bought by a Canadian contractor company. The wings were removed and all were shipped to North America in An-16 flights.

Isn’t it excessive for him to use An-225 to transport 8 MiG-29s and 1 Little Bird in one flight?

A few more Su-25s can be packed in, but there is no need to carry the maximum load capacity, otherwise the range will be reduced to less than 5000 kilometers, and it will take several leaps to reach Konluga, which is not worth it.

Now the weight is controlled to about 150 tons, and it can be reached by direct flight, which saves a lot of trouble.

It’s just that the price is not cheap. For such a flight, it will definitely cost more than 100 million US dollars. You can’t buy a Bugatti Chiron at this price, but the McLaren P1 is still available.

But how can a tool for picking up girls be compared with a means of survival like a space shuttle or a productivity tool like a fighter jet!

In the next two days, Xia Yu stayed directly in Baikonur and spent money to experience a week's astronaut training program (astronauts usually train at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Center in Damao. In order to distinguish the real world, parallel The world merged directly in Baikonur).

Even if the Bird can master the skills of an astronaut, it will be a long time before the real experience can be realized, so it is better to take this opportunity to experience it.

"Om~~"

The modified IL-76MDK took off into the sky. This modified special transport aircraft is used for weightless training of astronauts and can simulate the space environment.

I saw the pilot in the front cabin climbing to 6500 meters at an altitude of 45 meters at a 9500-degree angle. He directly closed the throttle and made the transport aircraft enter a parabolic state. Xia Yu, who was in the back cabin, floated directly.

Although it is said to be weightless, it is actually low gravity, and it can only last for 30 seconds. However, the 15 to 20 parabolas in one sortie gradually made the astronauts familiar with how to live in space and how to perform tasks correctly.

How can I put it, the experience is quite worth it. The trainer in charge of Xiayu expressed surprise at his ease. Could this guy be a former astronaut?

Really not, he is just an ace pilot, a tank commander, and a PMC company boss. This is really his first contact with astronauts.

"Om~~"

After a sortie, the pilot started to return with little fuel left.

Just after landing on the airport runway, Xia Yu hadn't even gotten off the plane yet. The Russian and Kazakh officials at the launch site were waiting for him there early.

The director of the museum who received him a few days ago stood at the end of the crowd, his face full of disbelief.

Xiaoniao, was it really sold to this Chinese guy?

It only costs 1500 million U.S. dollars. The Germans bought a third-hand verification machine many years ago for 1000 million euros. This is really a reasonable price.

It has to be said that Old Yefu is still very proud. He can do things that Alexei cannot do. It seems that he will not go to Syria this time.

After reading all the terms, Xia Yu neatly signed his name on the contract, and he remitted the money on the spot to the account designated by Kazakhstan.

After calling Yevgeny back to express his gratitude, Xia Yu immediately contacted Antonov Airlines and asked them whether the An-225 was currently at Gostomelli Airport.

The result was that he was not available and it would take a week before the slot became available.

It's not bad, Alexei's side, the results will come out a week later, so he directly booked the schedule and paid the advance payment.

Continuing the astronaut course, Xia Yu went to the Aral Sea again after it was over.

Because Kazakhstan built the Kokalal Dam to separate the North and South Aral Seas, even in the dry season in winter, there is still water in the North Aral Sea with the supply of water from the Syr Darya River.

"Crack~~"

Riding a small boat floating on the Beixian Sea to take pictures, it felt like that. Maybe he should go to the Caspian Sea further west to take a look, when Xia Yu's satellite phone suddenly rang.

It looks like the caller ID is Alexei. Has he already negotiated the price?
