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

Perhaps due to professional habits, Liv is relatively sensitive to heavy metals, radioactive substances, and toxic chemicals.

She also checked the safety protection measures of workers at the mine and confirmed the storage status of protective consumables such as special work clothes, masks, and gloves.

Uranium ore itself is not very radioactive, and intermediate products such as yellow cake can be rubbed with your hands. However, radon gas will be released during the mining process.

The open pit mine is pretty good. If you dig into the mine and there is no protection, it will be much more powerful than the poisonous decoration.

Coupled with the fine radioactive dust that peels off the ore, you must always wear a mask for protection.

This is a professional production field. Heavy metals are more common in life, such as lead and mercury. Arsenic and arsenic are poisonous things that the ancients knew. These two are more hidden.

Cinnabar Talisman Water is not fine to drink every day, but painting the wall red will have some impact, not to mention pouring wine and drinking it from a bronze cup or lead cup that tastes sweet.

This lead bronze only contains a small amount of lead. Even if you pour it into a large lead cup, you will grow taller. Digestion, central nervous system, hematopoiesis, liver, kidney, and reproduction will all be affected.

Ancient people didn't understand it, but modern people understand it and refuse to change it. It's just bad.

"Rome? That's Dasnia, China's capital during the Han Dynasty! I've always been interested in their public baths, but when I think about them using lead pipes to bathe, I forget about it."

Xia Yu, who has a little knowledge of bathing culture, said this to his wife.

That is to say, in modern times, the development of thermal weapons put him on the path of PMC.

Traveling back to ancient times, Xia Yu is more likely to become a folklorist who travels the world with his sword and feels the customs and customs of various places than the classical military strategist who sealed the wolf's place in Xu.

It's just that you need to recruit more adopted sons and apprentices on the road. This pair of fists is hard to beat with four hands. Only with more people can there be greater strength.

After chatting all the way to An Yuan, the couple's cars temporarily stopped while Kuhn and Christian escorted the convoy and continued driving towards Syria.

The old king's Royal Tank Museum opened, and Anyuan Airport suddenly became busy. In addition to the Middle East, many European, American and Asian countries were willing to sell his face and send military representatives to support him.

There are even more civilians. Directors of major tank museums in the world are gathered here, and Xia Yu is one of them.

After checking into the hotel and changing into a suit, he took his wife to the museum.

The official ribbon cutting will be tomorrow, and today is a preview for industry insiders. No alcohol will be provided on site, but there will be a beverage buffet, and the old king himself will also be present.

After walking out of the hotel's Rolls-Royce and showing the invitation, they entered the park. There were seven or eight tanks placed outside, while more than a hundred tanks and armored vehicles were placed inside the 20,000-square-meter room.

Unlike the Afika War Museum, which focuses on World War II tanks, the Royal Tank Museum of York's collection of vehicles spans from World War I to modern times.

Among them, the theme of World War II only covers less than half. The most valuable one is of course the late-stage Tiger that Xia Yu reluctantly parted with. I have to say that the old king made a great deal and exchanged two second-hand Leclercs for this. Except for the people of the country, everyone would be envious to death after hearing this treasure.

As for other World War II tanks, most of them are relatively representative models. If you want to see, sit on, and fire the guns, and feel the shock of the whole family collection, you have to make a special trip to Afika.

That's where the World War II experts are. Unlike the Royal Museum of York, the tanks on display here are mostly from the old king's private collection.

As for Xia Yu's private collection, only the part from World War II is on display, and all modern models have to be used on the battlefield.

"Is that a cobra?"

As soon as Xia Yu entered the indoor exhibition hall, he saw the Cobra armed helicopter hanging in mid-air under the light-transmitting dome.

This Wuzhi, which has similar configurations to the Apache, was either sunk into the sea or hung in a tank museum, playing a supporting role as a main battle tank.

Light aircraft like the Gazelle are fine, but medium-sized armed helicopters use skid-type landing gear, which makes Xiayu not very fond of the AH-1. It always feels much uglier than the Apache.

However, although it looks ugly, its output is not weak at all. In the eyes of some people, this is enough.

When the Concentrated Fire Defense was not withdrawing from the Sahel region, a man from Libiya contacted Xiayu through his relationship with Niger, hoping that he could help get 2 AH-1F Cobras and 5 AHs. -6 birds and enough ammo.

This is both a part-time job and a reputation. Obviously their main business is combat, but now they all come to him to buy equipment.

Unfortunately, even if the other party was willing to offer 8000 million US dollars, Xia Yu did not do their business.

Weapons cannot be sold casually. Light weapons such as rifles and machine guns are not very sensitive and can be sold to anyone. However, if tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and armed helicopters are to be sold, without strong endorsement, it is best to sell them to official forces. .

The other party was so secretive, so it was obvious that it was not an official force, but a warlord from Libiya.

Moreover, he has certain military qualities and knows that the old female deer sold by Xiayu can only bully small armed groups and extremist organizations.

Warlords are fighting in a melee. If you want to avoid being targeted by anti-aircraft missiles, you must buy a modern weapon with upgraded fire control, day/night combat capabilities, and accurate output.

Isn't it all about the specific model? They asked for the AH-1F, obviously because they wanted to build a relationship with Xia Yu and buy the promised Cobra and Bird.

If Xia Yu became this second-rate dealer and made these 18 million US dollars in profits, he would definitely be investigated by the United Nations, but Alexei doesn't do this kind of business, how could he, Huang Weasel, get involved in this kind of thing? !

This is also the survival philosophy in the circle. Business companies similar to warlords cannot do business, and can only be stepped in by higher-ups.

However, money is attractive to people, and there will always be those who want to take risks. I don’t know who they will look for later.

Looking back from the Cobra helicopter hanging in mid-air, Xia Yu held his wife's arm and walked through the crowd and tanks.

In this pre-exhibition, the guests who come to the scene will pay more attention to communication than the tank itself.

Many curators have already recognized him and brought their wives over to chat with Xia Yu.

No way, who said their museum is the most special one in the world? Xiayu also relied on its strength to open up a 10-digit US dollar market, stimulating the upgrading of the civilian arms experience market.

Among these curators, there were some who wanted to buy cannonballs from Xia Yu, and some who wanted to find Xia Yu to repair tanks.

None of them thought that Xiayu could collect so many old World War II tanks in good condition. Most of them must have repaired the power and weapon systems and integrated the assembly line production of old ammunition to achieve this level.

You're right to think so. He patched it up before opening. The pyrotechnics part was printed, and part of the writing process was produced by a manufacturer.

The ones sold are all semi-hand-rolled, and the formula of the propellant is naturally not the original one. The key point is that no tourists will test that the technical indicators of the shells are different from the original ones. They just implicitly agree that they are different. The result is in Konglu. These are really the same.

They didn't know whether it was worth it or not. It was Xia Yu who paid silently behind the scenes. It would be a shame if he didn't do more.

While drinking juice, we negotiated a few more cooperation intentions, but Hunter still had to discuss the details, and Xia Yu was only responsible for this.

"Pa~pa~pa~~"

Suddenly there was applause, and the old king in military uniform came out. Everyone was welcoming this powerful ruler of the Middle Eastern country who was more like a general than a king.

The little old man also smiled and greeted everyone. Opening a museum is addictive. The previous generation of kings opened the Royal Automobile Museum, but this generation has been on tanks. I don’t know what the next generation will collect.

Collecting airplanes is too expensive. Like Xia Yu, he just buys some junk. He can't afford one of good quality, or he doesn't want to spend a lot of money.

This time, Xia Yu came here with the idea of ​​picking up rags and trying his luck.

Who makes those magistrates ask so high prices? You can only control them when you ask for them. Normally, they never bring counter-offers. You can buy or not, which is very arrogant.

There is no way to deal with the new ones, and there are more sources of old ones. Old Europe bought as many F-16s as they could, and now they are trying to clear out as many as they can, but the batches are a little bit old. For Xia Yu, the old platform is better because it is cheap and has great potential for modification, while the new one is expensive and sensitive.

The combat effectiveness is much stronger, but we have a background and there are ways to become stronger!

That's right, his target today is the batch of old fighting falcons that Yue Zhe has. If they really have something, they will sell it to them.

The F-850 sold in North America with a value of 16 million US dollars was a third-party mobile phone bought from York. It originally came from Northern Europe. The middleman conservatively made a price difference of more than 300 million.

Xia Yu's choice was to reject the middleman and go directly to the seller to exchange goods.

Friends, talking about money often hurts feelings, but it will be different if you talk about money. This will actually enhance feelings.

As for what to exchange for it, I guarantee that the old king is willing.

After the little old man gave a simple welcome speech on the stage, he picked up a bottle of sparkling water, walked into the crowd, and greeted the guests he knew.

There was no need to worry, dinner hadn't been eaten yet, so Xia Yu called his wife to go to the dining table and grabbed some food to fill her belly.

Don't expect to be full at this kind of banquet. You will have to have some midnight snacks when you go back.

"Mr. Sherlock?"

Just when Xia Yu was competing with a roasted camel, a middle-aged man with a completely shaved forehead, who was not sure whether he was from Germany or Ying, greeted him.

"Und Frau Liv (And Ms. Liv.)"

Well, it's German.

Hearing the other party greet Liv immediately after, the accent was unmistakable.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am Ralf, the director of the German Tank Museum. Thank you for bringing this Tiger back to life. I went there a few months ago and enjoyed it for a whole week."

Ralph said, taking out his wallet and taking out his weekly card.

"It's a pity that I didn't get to meet you. It's not until today that I can say I'm glad to see you."

He said and held out his hand.

"I'm glad too, Director Ralph, it's a belated meeting."

Xia Yu held the other party's hand and said.

He was a little curious. This person probably didn't buy cannonballs from him. If so, he would be too courageous.

"Haha, you are a busy man. We only knew you would be here after confirming your itinerary with the staff of the Royal Tank Museum."

With all Afika running around, plus returning to China for a month to celebrate the New Year, Xia Yu's whereabouts are indeed difficult to find, so the other party's purpose is by no means a simple industry exchange.

"The thing is like this. I was entrusted by someone to invite you two to go to Germany when you have time. Rheinmetall wants to discuss some cooperation with Jihuo Defense."

After saying hello, Ralph went straight to the point and made his purpose clear.

It was Rheinmetall who wanted to meet Xia Yu. At the last defense exhibition in Bali, the staff at the booth were low-level and didn't know his identity, so it wasn't the first time they met.

This time, inviting the two people to each other's headquarters is considered a formal meeting, and it is also about cooperation.

Doesn't the other party want to put the private business on the surface and directly provide him with Weasel car bodies?

Xia Yu instantly made a guess, but now he is mass-producing the Weasel S30 and BTR-82S without a body!

However, by putting the cooperation on the table, there is no need to be secretive and control the quantity when selling cars in the future.

It's not impossible to keep prices down by relying on volume. In the past, when sales were small, they would pursue profit margins on bicycles. As long as the prices offered by Rheinmetall are acceptable, they can sell at lower prices.

As for whether this is the case, we will have to wait until Xia Yu goes there to find out.

"If Rheinmetall is not in a hurry, we will go to Germany after finishing the deployment in Syria."

Xia Yu said after thinking about it.

The Middle East relies on Europe, and it will definitely be a hard battle in Syria. Xiayu will let the company's German and Yingguo employees return to China for a period of rest.

He can also accompany his wife and uncle to Germany to meet his mother-in-law.

There is no rush to hold the wedding in the past two years, but he always has to meet in person. He also visits his father-in-law's grave and goes to Rheinmetall to see what the cooperation is like.

"What's the specific time?"

The German asked more specifically.

"Within two months at the latest, yes, within two months."

Focusing on defense, this trip to Syria is responsible for attacking the enemy.

As long as the target is defeated and the strategic intention is achieved, you can get the money and withdraw.

No, the money may not be available yet. The government troops only have oil, and they have to rely on their hometown to get payment for this commodity.

It doesn't matter if the money comes back slowly. The manpower and equipment must be evacuated first. Two months is enough.

"Okay, then on behalf of Rheinmetall, I welcome you two to visit Dusseldorf in two months."

With that, Ralph withdrew.

Xia Yu didn't have time to think too much, so he took advantage of every opportunity to get closer to the old king who had just vacated the space.

"Mr. Weasel, welcome to your arrival. Just after lunch, I saw your news."

Nodding to Liv, the little old man chatted with Xia Yu about his entire job.

The other party is really capable of doing things. It took him more than ten years to prepare a tank museum before he managed to accumulate more than a hundred tanks. As a result, the quantity and quality were exceeded, and he even started a new project.

Alas, it’s so irritating that people are so different from each other!

"Let's not talk about this for now. Your Majesty, do you want a new car? I want to exchange something with you."

Xia Yu said straight to the point.

"What to change?"

"F-16!"
