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

Chapter 377 Choose the configuration and win the contract (please vote for me!)

The old couple are preparing for the future, but learning German is not as good as learning English and French, which can be used in a wider context.

But then I thought about it, the children who were reincarnated into their family were really a little overachieving. They had to learn Chinese, English, German, and French just for language.

But if you can’t bear the hardships of studying, how can you enjoy a prosperous life?
"My mother also said she wanted to sign up for a Chinese class, but I didn't expect my father and mother to be faster."

"Live until you are old and learn until you are old. Our new house is decorated and we can invite my mother-in-law to China for two weeks next year."

After finishing a plate of mangoes, Xia Yu suggested.

"Well, I'm going back to China with my child, just to find a warmer day."

Liv nodded in agreement.

However, Xia Yu will not go back with him this time. The next time he returns to China will be the Year of the Pig.

"Spring is very suitable, but we have to pass the two days of late spring cold. Rhubarb is almost old. I will breed her for the last time in the dry season. The puppies should be born after New Year's Day. They will grow up after weaning. You can pick one and take it home with you." ”

All the first-generation models of this type of boat have been retired and sent to museums, and some have been abandoned directly due to poor management. He has watched several adventure videos on the Internet, and they are completely rusty inside and out.

Hard work paid off. Under his cry for poverty, the President and Congress actually discussed and passed a special budget to upgrade the equipment of the Navy, which had been poor for many years.

The only problem is that the main guns are a bit smaller, from dual 57mm to dual 37mm, and the two Namibia ships have been changed to a single 37mm.

Replace all the dilapidated patrol boats with three hunting submarines on the surface and one submarine underwater. Even if the total tonnage of the four boats is less than 2000 tons, they can still be called lieutenant generals on the west coast of Afika.

"Wow~Wow~~"

Dahuang and Dahei's first litter of babies is already one and a half years old, and they have recently started working on a trial basis. Daniel told him about the next batch of military dogs.

"Considering price, age, firepower, and after-sales service, these two anti-submarine escort boats (submarine hunting) equipped by Namibia are also your best choice."

He and Ai Boluo went to Busa this time to formally negotiate a contract with each other.

There is also a river fleet with 6500 people in Busa, and the person in charge is also the commander of the Navy, Lieutenant General Pallevi.

"Yes, with Major General Ai Boluo next door."

Xia Yu pretended to be mysterious and said.

After having breakfast, seeing that it was just light rain today and not very heavy, Xia Yu personally drove the AS 550 into the air and pulled Lao Ai to fly in the direction of Busa.

If we change ships, it would be okay to give one of the three ships. The remaining two plus some small boats will be enough to block the sea area.

In other words, he wants both. If the river is wide and large, with the deepest point exceeding 200 meters, there is absolutely no problem in running a submarine.

When they arrived at their destination more than two hours later, all the important officials of Busa were waiting for them.

"He was promoted to lieutenant general? Then Pallavi can't be promoted to general?"

Time soon came to the next day. Ai Boluo didn't even eat breakfast and came to Bogo Village when he opened his eyes.

"With any luck, this major general will be promoted to lieutenant general."

Now that there was an opportunity to upgrade the fleet, of course he had to seize it.

Xia Yu cut the projector screen to a picture of a modern yellow water battleship.

…………

Looking at the number and tonnage of ships, this military rank is too high. Looking at people, this army is also above the standard, while the navy and air force are relatively good.

But this submarine is for the Jihuo Defense Agency and will never be deployed in Busa.

When he found Ai BoLuo last month, the two hit it off.

After chatting away, Liv asked him about his recent arrangements.

"No problem. Do you want to go to Busa tomorrow?"

It’s just that the money is not much, only 3000 million US dollars was approved, which is not as generous as the Air Force.

Suddenly it occurred to him that his hometown still needed a dog to guard the home, so Xia Yu made arrangements like this.

Then it is reasonable for Busa's river fleet to equip a hunting submarine, and there will be no berth for another submarine.

This Rear Admiral, old Aidan, has no meaning at all. When Osa rebelled a few years ago, he couldn't do anything about it in the base.

Xia Yu also nodded and replied.

Their highest officer is Major General Ai Bo Luo, who doesn't have many ships but has about 1500 men under his command.

Regardless of the heavy rain in the rainy season, Ai Boluo went to the Busadaqian station early and did some exercise.

With such a small amount of money, it would be difficult for anyone else to get things done, but with Xia Yu, a friendly international person, he can get everything he deserves.

Since the Jihuo Defense Headquarters and Museum are both in Guo, Liv still has enough knowledge about these.

The subsequent generations of facelifts are also very good. Not to mention the large number, Dachuan has been selling dumplings in recent years, so it is better to sell them all as second-hand models.

The system can be modified, but after all, it is not a car or a helicopter, so there is really no need for it.

There are more than one army brigade stationed in Konluga, the navy's "coastal fleet" is also here.

Xia Yu revealed the information obtained from Ai Boluo.

This horse-dog couple has already served beyond their age. The first litter who married late and had children later became the backbone, and the last second litter is the company's reserve force.

"Maybe, but he would rather get a ship than Admiral Jin."

The firepower has been reduced, but it has been upgraded from an old-fashioned manned gun to an automatic naval gun.

"We want twin-linked automatic naval guns like those on the IG type."

Paravi asked.

It was a very reasonable request and could be accomplished within the budget. He would not have told Xia Yu that he would have suggested this.

Who likes singles when they can play doubles?

The two ships in Namibia mainly cost nothing, so it was difficult to make any demands, but they squeezed out the budget with real money.

"No problem, the bridge will be changed to fully enclosed, the two six-unit anti-submarine rocket depth bomb launchers will remain unchanged, and I will personally sponsor a 2mm anti-frogman rocket launcher system for each ship."

Xia Yu continued.

Busa has no need for anti-frogmen, so he has to pay for it.

The twin 10-tube anti-frogman rocket launcher is very suitable. As for the near-area defense remote-controlled weapon system exhibited at an air show last year, which consists of a 30mm cannon and 12 55mm directional tubes, Xia Yu plans to use it on his own ship.

Busa does not need such advanced gadgets, and he has contacted relevant technical personnel. This system has not yet been finalized. The concentrated fire defense can completely wait for the iterated mass production model.

As for what their company's first ship will be, it's hard to say now, but it's definitely not qualified for hunting submarines. There should be one on the tarmac!

In this way, not only can the Super Hornet be stopped, but the Sea Harrier in the Bogo Village hangar can also be used.

The meritorious veteran doesn't want to retire just yet. He can only fly for one year. However, a superyacht with a landing pad is very expensive, and a warship with a landing pad is not cheap either. It would be more appropriate for him to buy a submarine first.

The configuration of three modern hunting submarines has been confirmed, and the next thing to talk about is this submarine.

The joint investment by both parties was a consensus reached before the negotiations began.

Jihuo Defense (Xiayu) needs a submarine. Although it has always regarded itself as a great power, it actually has this need.

After all, even Niriliya has not yet been able to install even one submarine before them. It will be more honorable to go to the African Union meeting.

Not to mention that they can use this submarine to train and reserve their first batch of naval talents for underwater combat.

The rebels have been wiped out, and the armed groups entrenched on the border have also ceased. Coupled with Konluga's unique development momentum, Busa believes that their per capita GDP can hit two thousand or three thousand.

By then, the country's revenue will be enough for the military to operate one or two diesel-electric submarines of more than 1000 tons.

It is necessary to reserve relevant talents from now on, but some things must be confirmed clearly.

For example, the investment ratio and how to operate the submarine are what they need to discuss now.

This negotiation started with a meal in the morning, continued in the afternoon after a cup of coffee, and finally came up with a plan.

Each party will contribute 50% of the funds, and Fire Defense will be responsible for operating expenses and maintenance-related matters until this part of the cost accounts for half of the purchase cost.

That is to say, after covering Busa's investment, they will either terminate the contract or sign a new contract to continue to use the submarine and jointly bear the operating expenses.

But after that, the property rights were 100% owned by Jihuo Defense. Before that, Xiayu also had the right to unilaterally buy out the submarine and terminate the contract.

This clause would only be activated if something happened, and he hoped that this back-up would never be used.

There are a total of 22 people on board the boat. Xiayu will have 11 people as instructors and permanent staff, and Busa will have 22 people as students and rotating teams.

Of course, he not only recruits 11 people, but also needs 11 people for the active combat type and 22 people for the simulated combat type.

The personnel relations of these 33 employees are all hung in the museum. When performing strike tasks, they will be temporarily converted to technical employees and enjoy the benefits of the parent company.

However, the treatment of submarine soldiers is not bad in any way. Except for the lack of spoils, their income is comparable to that of pilots on aircraft carriers.

As for sensitive and non-sensitive submarines, the total number of submarines purchased is set at four.

It was very similar to Golombiya's choice five years ago. They bought two 5A boats that had just been retired and were in the best condition. The Germans gave away two boats of the same model that were in poor condition and could only be disassembled for free.

This kind of unusable 206A can be seen on their government public auction website VEBEG, and it is sold for 40 euros per unit without postage.

We actually sold two of them in a few years, both of which were privately taken back and transformed into museums.

If you buy one that can be installed and operated, the Germans might also buy one and get one free.

But the price…

Xia Yu didn’t know the price of the two Colombiya ships, but the country had planned to spend US$2 million to purchase six 6A ships.

Good guy, one ship costs more than 3000 million, which directly eats up Busa’s entire budget.

But when the goods were sold, it had already been five or six years, so bargaining to 1000 million wouldn't be too much, right?
It seems a bit excessive, but the price of 1500 million is very reasonable.

They don't have the tedious and troublesome requirements of the country's military to make changes here and upgrades there.

Nothing else. Xiayu can use the system to repair the hull, and he can go to his hometown to upgrade the equipment. But for the simulated combat type, it is better to ask Dezi for help.

As for the original parts that cannot be found in the country of origin, he has no choice but to fish them out of the sea.

There was nothing we could do about the ones in the deep water, and a lot of them sank in the shallow water. Especially after the war, the British sank many captured U-boats, and the locations were very concentrated.

This is also the reason why Xia Yu wants 64 submarines. There are definitely more submarines on the seabed than sunk destroyers. The 25% survival rate of submariners is no exaggeration.

"So that's it?"

"that's all!"

After finalizing the contract, the printer started printing page by page.

After receiving it, both parties confirmed it again before signing each other's names on the last page, and the contract was concluded.

"Namibia was negotiated last year and will be officially delivered this year. The shipyard is preparing, refurbishing and refitting the two ships very quickly. With this experience, all three ships will be delivered by June next year at the latest. Hunting submarines.”

After stuffing his contract into his briefcase, Xia Yu stood up and spoke to everyone.

The contract is set to be no later than August, but how many hours of work can be required to build 8 small boats?
"As for submarines, I can't guarantee the speed of the Germans. Fortunately, there is no need to worry about this. I also ask you to select suitable talents to receive relevant training as soon as possible."

He said solemnly again.

A submarine is not a tank or an infantry fighting vehicle. If it breaks down, it will just break down. It is not a fighter jet that can be ejected.

If this thing breaks down, there will be no survivors, and the people and the boat will be blown into pieces.

The Soviet-style titanium alloy double-hull is better, and there is a relatively complete coffin in the event of an accident.

Well, you can wait for Huang Pizi to drive down in the submarine and light the candles.

"Definitely, we will send a team of 50 people to study abroad, 30 of whom will study submarines."

Paravi said on behalf of everyone.

Among these people are patrol boat officers for further training, as well as freshmen majoring in science and related fields. With them and foreign instructors, we can support the four boats.

And one day, they will be able to afford 1,000-ton frigates and 1,000-ton large submarines.

Xia Yu's evaluation is that he is ambitious, and it will be even better to buy these ships from Jihuo Defense when the time comes.

When we walked out of the conference room, it was completely dark.

Night driving was nothing to him, but these old black uncles were too enthusiastic. Xia Yu, who could not resist their hospitality, stayed for the dinner and stayed at Mengqiao's villa for one night before rushing back to Kongluga the next day.

Regarding the configuration requirements for the three hunting submarines, he also officially sent them back to his hometown and confirmed many details.

The next week, Zha Technetium's damaged fighter jets and helicopters finally arrived at Noire Port.

The first batch of Mi-24Vs and Mi-17s were also shipped to Niriliya. At that time, Andrei and Party A's pilots would fly to Zhatech one by one.

There is no other way. It is difficult to travel by land during the rainy season, and we have to cross the territory of Boko Haram. This way, air-oop is the safest delivery method.

If you exchange for big hair, you will use An-124, and if you exchange for two hair, you will go directly to An-225. In this regard, concentrated fire defense is still a little bit meaningless.

But there will be bread, there will be milk, and with the help of the system, everything will be there.

Taking advantage of this rare free time, Xiayu's three hangars were filled with accident aircraft, waiting in line for preparations to fill up the work hours. He said goodbye to his wife for the time being, and returned to the Philippines on a C-3.

The intensity of the rainy season has passed, except that the roads are still bad, and now there are more showers.

Xia Yu happened to come over to take a look at his mine.
