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

Chapter 302: Upgrade and return to your hometown (please vote for me!)

So they had to fly to Dubai first, refuel and rest for one night before flying the last 5000 kilometers.

Flying a fighter jet is faster, but since Xia Yu wants to take people and goods with him this time, a transport plane is more convenient.

After steering the C-160 into level flight and controlling the speed to 270 knots, he removed the auxiliary driving module from the keychain and plugged it directly into the co-pilot's headphone jack.

Technology has changed life, and life has become easier. Liv in the cargo hold at the back thought how hard it was for Xia Yu!

She was studying what the two of them would eat for lunch at the moment. She didn't even leave a set of aviation headphones on the plane.

Not to mention the pilot emergency rations in iron boxes, there was a large box of Air Force aviation rations in plastic cartons.

In the past, Xia Yu only knew that the individual soldier rations of the Mao people were very good, but he didn't know that they also had versions for special forces, firefighters, aviation forces, and naval forces.

If you think about it carefully, you really need to make a clear distinction. Airplanes and submarines cannot use open flames, so the 24-hour rations are heated by electric ovens or water baths.

Perhaps due to positioning tactical delivery and short-range flights, the C-160 and C-130 do not seem to have onboard kitchens.

If there is no toilet, he can open the tail hatch and hang it up to solve the problem. Without a kitchen, it will be life-threatening, so this time when he returns to China, he plans to solve the problems of the kitchen and toilet together.

Before that, let's use the tank's on-board heater to deal with it. The 4.5-liter capacity can heat canned food in a water bath, as well as bagged rations.

Liv heated up the lunch and finished it by herself first. Then she made Xia Yu's portion and brought it directly to the cockpit in front.

"Ah~~"

With both hands pretending to be holding the joystick, Captain Weasel opened his mouth and enjoyed the feeding from his girlfriend.

There's no way, there's only one pilot on the plane, so if we don't have enough time for food, we don't have to have someone help us!

If the soup from the pineapple and pork rice rubs on your face, you have to wipe it off. After eating, you can have a cup of after-dinner coffee, which will make you feel comfortable while traveling by car.

It is said that women affect the speed of making money, but at this moment Xia Yu still feels that it is too late to get out of singlehood, and he should have enjoyed this long ago.

Of course, the difference between people is greater than that between humans and animals. It is really a torture to encounter someone who is unreasonable.

After flying for about 10 hours and covering nearly 5000 kilometers, the C-160 finally arrived in Dubai in the sunset.

After learning that Xia Yu had come to Dubai, Ha Yuanjue, who had just returned from the yacht, sent a helicopter to pick them up on the yacht.

If Xia Yu was just the director of the World War II Tank Museum, Ha Yuanjue's personal relationship with him would not have reached this level, but don't forget his identity as the boss of PMC Company.

As the Crown Prince of Dubai, Harbin's daily life is not only about eating, drinking and having fun, but also enjoying the glory and wealth all day long. Politics and military are topics that he cannot avoid. After all, the royal family in the Middle East has real power. They really want to Run the country, not be a mascot.

As for Alien, he not only supported the domestic opposition in Syria, but even went so far as to personally fight against them. How can I say that his combat effectiveness was better than that of Shater next door.

So Xiao Ha wanted to take advantage of Xiayu's stopover in Dubai to chat with him about military topics.

"Wow~Wow~~"

An Agusta AW189 helicopter belonging to the Dubai royal family landed on the helipad on the top deck of the yacht. Xia Yu held Liv's hand and stepped off the plane.

The luxurious decoration and expensive furniture gave him a very different feeling from the St. Paul.

Sure enough, the aircraft carrier is still suitable for him, but the prince of another emirate, Abu Dhabi, has the same name as Harbin. His private yacht was converted from a navy frigate.

That should be okay, but the wealthy people have replaced a large number of steel structures with composite materials, which may not be able to withstand beatings from naval guns and anti-ship missiles.

"Mr. Long time no see."

In the lower salon of the yacht, Xia Yu saw Ha Yuan, whom he had not seen for a long time, and still called him by his original pseudonym.

"Mr. Curator, the last time I saw you, you were single. I didn't expect that you have fallen in love now."

Ha Yuanjue said with a smile.

As a crown prince, he has no say in who his first wife, the eldest princess, marries, so even though he is over 30 years old, he is still delaying getting married.

"Haha, this is how it is when fate comes. I envy your wealth, but you envy my freedom, but neither of us is willing to exchange our lives."

"You are right, I hope we all live a good life."

The two of them didn't exchange much greetings. Ha Yuanzhen signaled that the kitchen was ready for dinner. After dinner, he asked the servant to lead Liv to the guest room to rest. He and Xia Yu went to the reception room and lit a cigar each.

They puffed away and chatted about things on the battlefield until they talked about Syria.

This war, caused by religious conflicts, great power competition for hegemony, terrorism, internal conflicts and many other factors, will obviously not end in the short term.

Because of his religious stance, Alien naturally supports the anti-government forces in Syria, and Xia Yu can only respect this. At least for this deployment, they will selectively only take on the work of extremist organizations.

There is nothing that can be done about it. The Middle East issue is too complicated. Mercenaries can care less about the impact, but private military contractors have to think carefully.

After finishing one cigar, an hour and a half passed.

Considering that Xia Yu was tired from traveling and had learned a lot, Ha Yuanju took the initiative to end the conversation. The two agreed to talk again on the opening day of the Old King Tank Museum, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

There was no conversation all night, and at dawn the next day, the servants prepared breakfast and served Xia Yu and Liv. After eating, because Xiao Ha was still awake, they used a high-speed boat to send the two to the shore.

Finally, they returned to the airport in a Rolls Royce with the air conditioning turned on early.

The four-wheeled Rolls-Royce can only run on the ground, but the low-pressure rotor with a 6-stage axial flow low-pressure compressor and propeller can take you across continents.

After confirming that the fuel tank was full and going around the aircraft for inspection, Xia Yu boarded the plane and called the tower and joined the queue.

"Om~~"

Pushing the left and right throttle levers to the bottom and lowering the flaps by 20°, the C-160 only taxied on the runway for less than 700 meters before taking off and starting its final journey home.

Today's lunch was not rations. The yacht kitchen prepared lunch boxes for them, but they really couldn't eat and walked around.

In the afternoon, time suddenly became faster. It was not until the evening that he left the airspace of Palladium and received an entry permit after contacting him. Xia Yu finally returned to his motherland after many years of absence.

"Om~~"

The C-160 landed steadily on the runway of a factory in Hanzhong at night.

After getting off the plane, Xia Yu first got to know the leaders of the factory, and then added WeChat with the engineer responsible for his project.

Others won't stay here for long, but many modification details still require communication.

Onboard galleys and toilets are just appetizers, upgrading avionics is the real main course.

Including but not limited to replacing the autopilot of the last century with a new digital dual-channel product, upgrading the ARINC429 data bus for both military and civilian use, and dismantling all mechanical instruments that need to be dismantled and replacing them with a comprehensive display system, that is, 6 major 1 small 7 piece "big color TV".

There is also a slot under the nose to install an integrated photoelectric pod, so that detected ground targets can be viewed on the multi-function display, which also gives the C-160 the ability to fly at low altitudes day and night, all day and night.

What is digitalization? This is called digitalization. For example, Lao Mei plans to upgrade the C-130H, which is to upgrade the antique cockpit to the digital cockpit level of the C-130J Super Hercules.

But the cost of the new integrated terrain awareness and warning system, flight management system, global positioning system, and autopilot is $700 million.

When it comes to concentrated fire defense, the cost of upgrading their C-160 to the Yun-9 level is almost the same, except that they have to change units.

It only costs more than 100 million yuan. Is there such a value for money? But only Xia Yu can get such a price. If it were someone else, they wouldn't take the job without even saying how much it would cost.

After checking the cockpit of the C-160 on the spot, he calculated the amount of work in his mind. The engineer in charge of the modification project promised that it would be completed within a month. At that time, the pilot would drive directly to the city where Xia Yu's hometown is, without him having to make another trip.

It's considerate enough, but as they said, after upgrading the cockpit, there is no need to find pilots from China or Germany according to the original C-160 standards.

Retired pilots who have modified Yun-9 are very suitable. They don't need to switch to civil aviation and then learn commercial flying. They can just come to work in fire defense.

That is, as a technical employee, it is best to learn another French language.

"Okay, I'll leave the plane to you all, and we'll go back now."

Xia Yu raised his hand and looked at the time and said.

It is already 9 o'clock, and they have to rush to Chang'an to take the flight back to Piling tomorrow morning.

Of course, there was another train in the early morning, but looking at Liv's eyelids fighting, riding on the train for 24 hours, even if it was a sleeper berth, would be too much.

It’s better to take a night’s rest and take a flight tomorrow!

He declined the invitation from the leaders to stay one night and took the car arranged by them, arriving at the hotel next to Chang'an Airport before midnight.

They stayed overnight and boarded a plane back to their hometown the next morning.

More than a thousand kilometers away, Lao Xia, who had just had breakfast, was very tough now. He was holding a cup of hot tea in his hand and watching his wife killing fish there.

Aren't they just mandarin fish? He caught two, one big and one small, and also brought a big mullet with him. It was not in vain that he had been fishing for several days in a row.

"Look at what time it is, why don't you hurry up to the airport to pick me up? Sitting there is really (very) reassuring."

"Leave now, leave now."

Lao Xia put down his teacup and went downstairs to go to the airport.

Their home is more than 30 kilometers away from the airport. It takes an hour to get there and an hour to get back, just in time for lunch.

Lao Xia opened the door of a Citroen Sega downstairs and got into the driver's seat.

Not counting the money for building a house, my son has received 100 million in cash in the past two years. He is thinking about buying a new car, but he has been driving an excavator for half his life, and any car is a means of transportation.

However, after the new houses in the village are built, they can be replaced by trams. Then the Chinese designer installed photovoltaic power generation panels on the sunny side of the roof. As long as the weather is good, the electricity will not be used at all, unlike the oil price that is rising every day.

People are concerned about oil prices, but if you think the oil prices are too high, you can tell Xia Yu!

We don’t use much gasoline, but there are still hundreds of tons of it in the storage warehouse. I don’t know how many times this old Sega will be scrapped.

Lao Xia, who had just arrived at the airport, didn't know at this moment that there were surprises waiting for him ahead. He just told Xia Yu his location on WeChat.

"Click~~"

The trunk of the car was opened by someone, and it goes without saying that it was that kid.

"Bang~~"

The sound of closing the door is even more certain.

"Dad, hurry up, this is my dad, call me dad!"

"dad?"

The first sound of "ba" was natural, but the tone of the second "ba" was wrong!

Lao Xia turned around quickly. The boy was still the same boy. He hadn't grown taller or thinner, but next to him, there was such a handsome foreign girl!

The aesthetics of father and son are probably the same due to genetics. Xia Yu liked him at first sight, and Lao Xia's first impression was not bad. But when he suddenly called me dad, his heart, which had been running for almost 60 years, couldn't bear it.

So this guy found a foreign wife?

"Is this girl from Mao country?"

Looking at Liv who was smiling at him, Lao Xia also smiled awkwardly and quickly asked his son.

"They are Germans. Let's go home first and talk about it later."

Xia Yu motioned to Lao Xia to drive quickly.

"Then she speaks French, Bonjour! Bonne année! (Hello! Happy New Year!)"

After all, he is a man who has been to Afika three times in 10 years. Although he cannot write a word, he can still speak a few sentences in daily conversations.

"Happy New Year to you too, Dad!"

Liv also deliberately learned a little Chinese and replied immediately.

"Then what, you should call me uncle first, this is too fast."

Lao Xia has forgotten how he urged marriage, and now he feels that Xia Yu is progressing too fast.

"It's not fast at all. We have been together for a long time. Isn't this a surprise for you and mom?"

Xia Yu explained to Lao Xia.

But this is not a surprise, this is a shock.

You have to let them slow down first and have a process of understanding. He doesn't even know what the other person's name is.

"My name is Liv Fisher. I am a doctor by profession. I have a brother and a mother at home, but not a father!"

Liv introduced herself in Chinese.

It can be seen that she has made preparations. If she can rehearse with Xia Yu in advance, she will definitely say it in a different way, instead of being sad and funny like now.

However, Xia Yu checked that the surname Fischer means fisherman, so it stands to reason that Hans should join the navy!

Liv's words diluted Lao Xia's nervousness and uneasiness. Yes, as long as their son likes it, they must try to accept it. After all, it is his life, and it is up to him to decide what kind of person he will spend his life with.

As for doctors, foreign doctors should not be as busy as domestic ones, right?

No, but what Liv forgot to mention is that this doctor also needs to be prefixed with battlefield, and he has four lives on his hands.

This had a big impact on the people of China, but their son ended the lives of thousands of people in just two years.

It has to be said that compared to war vehicles, pistols and rifles are not even a little bit less efficient in harvesting lives. The killing stars of concentrated fire defense are all technical employees, which is an order of magnitude higher than combat employees.

　Why is it getting later and later, this procrastination. . .
