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

Chapter 299 The transaction is successful and the cargo returns (please subscribe!)

"Sherlock, you really captured the Birdie, that's great!"

Alexey's voice was full of surprise. He didn't expect that Old Yefu would really take action, and that the other party would really have weight in front of him.

"Let's not talk about it for now. How is the situation there? My An-225 will arrive in a week. I thought that those MiG-29S will not be used, so I took a few back after removing the wings."

Xia Yu told him his plan on the phone.

"Then you are just in time. The negotiations are almost complete. They are willing to reduce the price to 300 billion tenge to pay in US dollars."

Alexei's tone became relaxed at this moment.

The hard work paid off, and after spending nearly a month here, he finally managed to lower the price.

It is 500% cheaper than the original 40 billion, which means that they only need to pay 8820 million US dollars to take away all 117 old fighter jets.

The average price is US$75 per aircraft. If you buy a new aircraft at this price, you can buy the latest Seinus 400. However, the ones they wholesale are all fighter jets!

According to the previous agreement, Xia Yu will bear 30% in advance, which is 2646 million. In addition to the 1500 million and 100 million shipping costs for purchasing the Bird, he spent a total of 4246 million US dollars on this trip to Kazakhstan.

It was a little overspending, but the actual payment should be less than 4000 million. Alexey and the other party calculated the package price, and then it was time to calculate the subcontract price.

Xia Yu didn't go to Caspian Sea anymore and rushed back to Retigen Air Force Base.

他认购的是2架米格-21，8架苏-25，还有15架米格-29，总共25架战斗机。

The two people discussed for a long time and settled on a discounted price of 10 for a Fishbed, 60 for a Frogfoot, and 90 for a Fulcrum, for a total of 1850 million US dollars.

It is almost the cost price of a Su-30SM, but even half of it is not available for export, so the profit is still very good.

After swiping the card to pay, nearly 2646 million of the 800 million US dollars transferred belonged to Xia Yu.

Originally, he was going to ask for fighter jets of equal price, but even if we get 10 more Su-25s, they can't even pay 800 million!

After thinking about it, I’d better record the money first!

In addition to the 21 MiG-31s ​​to be handed over, Alexey also has 71 fighter jets to absorb. I am afraid that this fund will not be able to be turned over for a year. If Xiayu doesn't have the money then he can order something else.

Many of the inheritances that Da Maogua received were attractive to him, but this time he had already returned home with a full load, so he was not in a hurry.

Once the money arrived, these fighter jets were legally Xia Yu's private assets, so in addition to the 6 MiG-29UBs, he gave the remaining 9 MiG-29S the best ones with a wave of his hand. All 4 aircraft were dismantled.

The engines will be removed first, and they will be transported by land and shipping along with other RD-33s and cannons to Konluga via the Mediterranean-West Philippines line.

After removing the wings on both sides, the weight of the upgraded MiG-29S MiG-29B dropped to 5 tons.

夏屿有点高估安-225的货仓尺寸了，它和安-124的货舱都是6.4米宽和4.4米高，只是长度由36.5米拉伸至了43.35米。

In such a cargo bay, only four MiG-29s with the wings removed can be packed into it. It is impossible to transport eight at a time.

There was no way, just four. Anyway, they were just for transporting the Bird. The three in good condition could be kept for now. He would keep one of the six in bad condition and take the rest back to dismantle the parts.

Although the MiG-29 production line at the Sokol Aircraft Manufacturing Plant has not stopped, it basically only produces K-series carrier-based aircraft. The classic MiG-29 is now losing one less one.

This time, taking advantage of the cheap wholesale price to buy more disassembly parts, it was undoubtedly the right choice.

As for Ermao, who has been squandering its little legacy, since the Crimea incident two years ago, the MiG-29 has not been exported as before.

Xia Yu suspected that it and Damao would fight sooner or later. Apart from the 200+ MiG-29 series that were originally inherited, he didn't know how much would be left after the war.

While the supply is still abundant, it is normal business practice to stock up on spare parts.

Very soon, in the early morning three days later, An-225 arrived as promised.

Open the landing gear before landing. The seven pairs of wheels on both sides are more than the wheels of a tank. It taxied for nearly 7 meters before it came to a stop. To take off at maximum weight, it requires a 2000-meter runway.

As for the 2400-meter-long runway at Konluga Point Noire Airport, landing with a full load and taking off with a light load are okay, but taking off with a full load will overshoot the runway.

这样的限制也让安-225的适用性不如安-124，虽然最大商载只有150吨3辆勒克莱尔，但安-124最大载重量下的航程，是安-225装250吨时的两倍以上。

Moreover, the rental rate of 5 euros per hour is more cost-effective, and a trip of at most 50 euros can be done.

Fire defense transport vehicles are transported either by land or by sea. If there is generous support from Party A, Xiayu does not mind renting An-124 for a quick deployment.

One main battle tank and three heavy infantry fighting vehicles (9.87 meters + 3 × 6.88 meters < 36 meters), no matter how strong the defense is, it is enough to open a hole and break down the opponent's defense formation.

Of course, renting depends on the airline's schedule. There is nothing better than operating a strategic heavy transport aircraft yourself, which can take off and land anytime and anywhere.

However, even if Lao Mei's C-5 and C-17 were sold, the price would be beyond Xia Yu's affordability.

However, An-124 still has a chance, that is, he has to wait until his net worth exceeds 10 digits and the company has more than regular employees.

Otherwise, it would be like ordinary people selling their houses and pretending to be fat to buy luxury cars.

"Then I'll leave first?"

The flip-up nose of the aircraft was opened upward, and Xia Yu said to Alexey as he watched four MiG-4S, together with their removed wings, being pulled into the An-29's cargo hold by the aircraft's own winch.

"Let's go, see you in Afika."

"See you Afika!"

After waving goodbye, Xia Yu boarded the dream transport aircraft and transferred to the Baikonur Space Launch Site more than 1000 kilometers away.

After entering the level flight stage, he passed through the engineer cabin from the rear passenger cabin and came to the cockpit. Among the total 6 crew members, 2 engineering officers and 2 airborne officers were still below. There were only two pilots here, the captain and the first officer.

"Mr. Sherlock, I heard that you are also a pilot?"

Leaving the operation to his deputy, the captain Dmytro Antonov, who has been flying the An-225 for 20 years, talked to Xia Yu.

"Yes, but apart from a few types of fighter jets, I can only fly the C-130. The An-225 is too difficult for me."

Xia Yu said modestly.

Flying such a big guy is not as simple as in the doomsday movie "2012". Its pilot must be selected from the captains of the An-124.

Dmytro has been flying for more than 20 years, and his skills are naturally the best among strategic transport aircraft pilots.

But even so, it was the first time for the veteran captain to fly the An-225 and assume its original mission-the space shuttle of the Transport Alliance. "Oleksandr Halunenko, my old partner, used to drive the An-225 to carry the Buran between Kiev and Baikonur. I didn't expect that today we would be flying the An-225 to carry the bird. The ship left Baikonur forever."

Demytro said with emotion.

Before this trip, he specifically called Oleksandr to inquire about the operating details of the backpack transport, in order to complete the mission in the best possible condition, and this is what history has given to every An-225 captain. mission.

"I heard that you are interested in selling the An-225?"

Xia Yu changed the subject.

It's not that it's a disgrace to the scenery, but he's quite interested in this.

"After the alliance disintegrated, there was nothing that could not be sold, but Kiev's offer was too high. We were able to receive rental orders, but there were really not many customers who were interested in purchasing the An-225."

The old captain said frankly.

The expensive price is only one aspect. On the other hand, customers who are interested in the An-225 care more about the D-18T engine than the transport aircraft itself.

The engine is the heart of the aircraft, and it is also the part that needs the most time to settle.

For individual buyers and corporate users, physical objects are enough. The only obstacle is that the price is too high, which affects subsequent profits.

Time passed quickly during the conversation, and the Baikonur Cosmodrome was in front of us.

"Kacha~Kacha~~"

The camera shutter clicked. It was aviation enthusiasts who came to take pictures of the An-225. They checked its itinerary online and came to Baikonur in advance like celebrities.

But is there anything here that must be transported by the An-225, the return capsule or the first stage of the rocket?

No, the hangar door that had been locked for many years was opened, the dust on the surface was cleared, and the graffiti-washed Bird was pushed out by a tractor and sent to Ubireni Airport.

"Look, that's..."

As soon as the An-225 landed, a sharp-eyed photographer spotted the Bird entering the airport.

"No, it's here to transport the Little Bird?"

Only then did everyone realize the purpose of An-225's trip, and then pressed the shutter faster.

The last time they were photographed together was last century. I didn't expect to be so lucky today to take a first-hand photo.

The platform for hoisting the rocket core stage lifted the Little Bird and placed it at an angle on the back of the An-225 aircraft below. The staff tied with safety ropes locked the fixing pins and evacuated. The load of the aircraft instantly increased by 70%. Many tons.

"Boom~~"

Slowly taxiing to the starting point of the runway, the pilot and co-pilot slowly pushed the six throttle levers to the bottom. When the engine thrust reached the maximum, the aircraft nose was pulled up. The An-6 took off in the air and completed the turn after flying for more than half a circle, heading towards Afi. The card flew quickly in the direction.

The photographers who took countless precious photos immediately turned on their computers and posted the carefully selected photos online.

Some videos were also taken, slightly edited and uploaded to the YouTube channel, which quickly became popular.

"Is this the space shuttle of the Qianlian Alliance?"

"Yes, this is the Bird Number, but where are they going?"

"My friend works in Baikonur. I heard that an Asian bought it. Maybe it was shipped back to Asia?"

"No, the destination of the An-225 sortie is Afika, and the Little Bird will be transported to Konluga, the second largest city in Guo."

"Are you sure it's Kongluga? Isn't there a war museum where you can play Tiger Style and King Tiger?"

"That's right, it's that Kongluga. That museum just bought a Basi aircraft carrier a few months ago, and now it has bought a Kazakh tantalum space shuttle. What are they going to do?"

…………

The number of comments in the comment area quickly grew from a few hundred to thousands. Users who were interested in the matter also clarified the context of the matter from the revelations in the comment area.

A military museum that operates World War II tank driving and shooting, and acquires non-World War II military and non-military vehicles from all over the world.

The summary is that they have made money and plan to invest in developing more new projects.

However, the aircraft carrier museum, a science and technology museum that mainly displays space shuttles, should not have much profitability, right?

Of the two former Chinese aircraft carrier museums in China, one has gone bankrupt and the other has just turned a profit, and the gross profit income seems to be poor.

As for the five counterparts from the Magnesium Country, because they have the support of the Apollo lunar landing spacecraft return module and F-5 Tomcat, the most competitive Hornet's tickets are only 14 US dollars a piece.

How much does the ticket for this aircraft carrier museum in Afika cost?

Most people are not very optimistic about the profit prospects of this company's new projects, and I find it funny that there is also a science and technology museum in Afika.

Xia Yu said, you people don’t understand what cheating is, why do you want to compare yourself with your peers? Why can't he create a new industry standard?

On the tank museum project, he led the industry's involution and upgrading. The aircraft carrier project may not be as popular among his peers, but at least they are unique.

Also, the Bird is his private collection, and the Science and Technology Museum is indeed not Afika’s style.

"Look, it's really An-225 and Little Bird. This trip is really worth it!"

At Konluga Point Noire Airport, whether they have just landed or are preparing to leave, passengers are attracted by the classic combination stopped at the end of the runway.

Compared with before, the passenger flow of Pointe-Noire Airport has increased by at least 30%, and private planes take off and land from time to time. They are all tourists of the Afika War Museum.

Unlike those who are not optimistic about the company on the Internet, those who are pleased with Chariot are all supporters of the company, and of course they are willing to develop more projects in Xiayu.

Even if it's not very interesting, they will have more places to go when they come to Kongluga to drive and play cannons in the future, right?

There was no dedicated lifting platform, so several cranes worked together to remove the Little Bird from the back of the An-225. I thought that the big aircraft was about to leave, but I didn't know that the flip-up nose of the aircraft opened upwards, like a fighter jet. The things were unloaded one by one.

"This shape looks like a MiG-29?"

Even with the wings removed, some military fans still recognized it as a MiG-29 from its outline.

So what if the Air Force bought the MiG-29 and transported it back with the Bird?

It’s not that tourists don’t dare to think about it, but that Busa’s air force is too weak. It only has four Su-4 attack aircraft and not a single serious fighter. Now it makes sense to purchase MiG-25 to enhance its strength.

But there is not a single Busa MiG-29 here. They all belong to the war museum under the jurisdiction of the Central Fire Defense.

After settling the final payment and watching the An-225 leave after completing its mission, Xia Yu, with the assistance of the airport ground crew, pulled the Birdie and the four MiG-4s back to the hangar.
