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

Chapter 403 Business in Europe, work (please vote for me!)
Previous chapter title: Branch structure, abundant talents
After all, this is Europe, and most castles have their own churches, but theirs is limited by the size of the main building, so it is a small chapel.

During the Soviet garrison, the chapel was turned into a small auditorium, and now it has been transformed into the office space of the European branch of Fire Defense.

Of course, he and Liv will also need it for their wedding in a few years.

There is no need to hire a priest if you don’t believe in religion. Due to the increase in the number of non-believers, many professional masters of ceremonies have gradually developed here.

It is necessary to master French, German and Chinese languages ​​​​at the same time, which places higher requirements on the master of ceremonies.

Entering the office area, the clerical staff who were not considered formal employees in Xia Yu's eyes stood up to greet Xia Yu.

This part of the staff of the Jihuo Defense Headquarters all work at the museum. Regular employees are away for several months, and they can't follow them.

There is no need, the work content is different, just stay at the headquarters or branch office.

Up to now, Jihuo Defense Europe Branch has only input but no output.

The good news is that the first contract has been signed.

Just last week, the Bundeswehr contacted Liv and expressed its willingness to lease two AS 550 Fennec Foxes together with the pilots.

Right, unused helicopters can be rented out.

As long as there is steady demand, a single helicopter can provide an annual income of seven figures of euros.

Limited by the quantity and availability of equipment, the Bundeswehr is always in a situation where there are no aircraft or infantry fighting vehicles available.

There is no place to rent this type of tank, but as long as it is not performing combat missions, helicopters or transport aircraft can still be rented from the civilian market.

The price will be a lot more expensive, but at this time, water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the people nearby. If you think it is expensive, even Dezi will not find it too expensive!

This is the helicopter business of the branch, and Xiayu, the ground business, plans to launch security projects.

Security projects with limited returns are not the main focus of the European branch. As long as the profit level can cover labor costs, Xia Yu’s expectations can be met.

By the way, Erwin and the others can also be kept safe through security orders.

Just staying in the castle for training and exercises is not enough. Only actual combat can maintain the high level of the team.

The deterioration of public security caused by the influx of refugees has unexpectedly increased the demand for security projects.

Ordinary people buy Taser guns and take hunting and shooting licenses, while wealthy people directly hire bodyguards.

Those that require a large number of people and bring their own equipment (vehicles and firearms) are mostly temporary security orders.

If you find driving too slow, we can also use a helicopter to take you there.

The gun pod is a bit difficult to deal with, but there are still machine guns or sniper rifles in the hatch.

These are enough to deal with most threats.

As for the portable air defense missiles you mentioned, they are basically only available in Eastern Europe. They are sold to Afika and the Middle East, and they are basically not retailed locally.

If there is such a thing in Western Europe, it will pose a great threat to civil aviation airliners. By then, not only one company will be at risk of being shot down.

However, without the Guanzi soldiers (air defense shooters), there are still a lot of other chores. Erwin and the others have many challenges to face.

Xia Yu came out of the office area of ​​the chapel, and his parents and wife came out after shopping around the main castle's soft and hard furnishings.

The sights from both sides converged on the most distinctive building of the castle complex - the white tower.

By the time this castle was built, the tower was really just a symbol of the castle's culture and did not bear any military responsibilities.

But without this tower, your castle won't taste right.

So one must be built, even if it is just for viewing the scenery.

And modern technology has restored the tower's historical purpose.

Within the visual range, day and night dual-channel cameras guard the entire main castle complex 24 hours a day.

The network uses real-time encrypted transmission, and everyone in Xiayu can control the rotation and focus of the camera in Afika.

Invisible places, the three-sided phased array takes care of you and keeps an eye on every "wild boar" in the forest that wants to break into.

The direction of the bunker hidden by trees can also be taken care of.

As soon as there is any movement, the left-behind personnel will immediately take off drones to conduct close reconnaissance in order to avoid alerting the enemy.

"DJI has specially developed a retractable helipad that can automatically retract and retract drones and can also be charged. It should be very popular!"

Xia Yu complained as he stood on the top of the tower and waited for three to five minutes before seeing the drone take off.

He didn't mean to blame the employees. It takes time to start up. Even if someone breaks in during these three to five minutes, they won't be able to get very far, let alone the radar that keeps locking them.

There are real usage scenarios for drones, allowing the machine to be on standby at any time in the wild.

This is faster than taking the drone out of the storage box and turning it on to take off.

Xia Yu has money and a system, so he can build such a platform regardless of the cost, but others can't!

If you have the opportunity to talk to the other party’s product manager, no, just talk to the boss directly.

Boss Wang is richer than anyone else in Xia Yu, but he is also younger!

Not to mention that Mo Qiyoun is poor, the number of Wu-2s consumed by his company since its establishment has already exceeded double digits, reaching more than one hundred.

There are also the hundreds of aircraft that I helped sell. This is no longer an act of fans, this is a "strategic partner."

Next time you return to China, you can go to Pengcheng to chat with the other party, and take a domestic trip with your wife and children.

Traveling around all year round, I have no chance to take a good look at the great rivers and mountains in the country.

"That's good. We don't have to pile up so many boxes at home."

Xia Yu manually turned off the radar, and Liv came up with Lin Shuqin's support.

"No more in the future. We have Sparrowhawk A and Howler Sea Eagle. Speaking of which, I want to get Sparrowhawk B too!"

After the advent of fuel-powered long-range reconnaissance drones, consumer-grade fire-defense drones are still in use, but they are no longer considered consumables. Half of them are used for squad reconnaissance and low-altitude patrols in mines and museums.

That's why Xiayu wants a retractable helipad. A drone can make a full circle faster than a human patrolling by car.

Invisible to the naked eye, thermal imaging is like a magic mirror, allowing you to reveal your true form in minutes.

However, this kind of professional machine, which is said to be consumer grade but actually costs several thousand dollars, is not consumed much for the time being.

Another type of FPV traversing machine that costs only a few hundred dollars has great potential for development and has become the main force in consumption.

The only bad thing is that there is no thermal imaging. If you want to use it at night, you must use it to launch flares.

As for adding thermal imaging to each FPV, let’s not talk about the cost. This thing weighs more than 200 grams when made small!
Without several years of iteration and reducing the price of small thermal imaging modules, this tactic is still more practical with flares.

Xia Yu couldn't print a small thermal imaging lens, but 60 rounds of flares per working hour were no problem. It took a little effort to illuminate the rockets of the warhead.

"Are you looking for someone from the country?"

Liv asked. "No, no, no, wait until they come to us."

Xia Yu corrected his wife.

Since the establishment of Jihuo Defense, it has always relied on its strength to survive. Obtaining the C-160 from the founders is also an equal exchange.

After all, it's not a piece of equipment that's stuck on your neck. If they don't give it to you, Xia Yu can get it from Germany.

They give, it’s a win-win.

The same goes for the Chinese Chinooks, who sell a lot of them for takeout.

This Sparrowhawk B has been sold to several countries in Northern Europe. You can always find it on Taobao, but Xiayu doesn't want to make a special trip just for a drone.

His purchases always start at double digits, with two racks of goods per unit, so it is most appropriate to negotiate when the other party delivers it to his door.

The current situation of the Chinese people is indeed bad. At the beginning, they focused on defense to help them defeat multiple extremist organizations in the Sahel region and severely suppressed the violent conflicts in the area.

Those armed groups are also afraid of becoming the next target, but after being honest for a while, they are now starting to grow again and are becoming more and more arrogant.

After Fajun saw this situation, he organized another offensive and severely knocked out the two thorn heads.

After all, Operation Crescent Sand Dune continues to this day and is unlikely to end in a short time.

They can only stick it here like a nail, waiting for the day when it can no longer be stuck and they are taken away.

The people of the country see their own ending better than anyone else. They know that their situation in Afika is like that of Wang Xiaoer during the New Year, and every year is worse than the last.

But what can they do? It can only last for one year!

This is why they are reluctant to distribute profits. The suzerain country has been in power for a long time, and they cannot treat these former colonized people equally.

People in the country are willing to spend money on counter-terrorism to protect their own interests.

The amount of money that Focus Defense can get from them is definitely greater than bypassing middlemen and directly cooperating with these countries.

But isn't this because their company is too small, so they can only start from Feifei, which is looked down upon by the developed countries, to accumulate experience in mining development.

In this way, whether it is direct operation or joint development in the future, detours can be avoided.

This is also the best choice based on reality. People in China are stingy, but at least they can afford it.

Feifei, on the other hand, couldn't spare any cash.

The situation in the countries in the Sahel region is better. They can at least afford second-hand equipment.

Lieutenant Xia Yu from Nafaso still had contact with him, and the last two M82 120mm mortars from Concentrated Fire Defense were given to him before he left Afika.

There is no other reason. Apart from the lighter gun, this model has no other highlights.

Xia Yu repeatedly complained about the overweight cannonballs and the ancient bundled propellant packs.

And they will soon have a better, extremely lightweight artillery system, which looks like a high-grade standard horseshoe module propellant.

Even Lao Mei doesn't have such a thing. Their two 120mm mortars are all borrowed. One has a Chinese rifle and is too heavy for a donkey to pull.

It's a dad's smoothbore gun, and all the data indicators are quite satisfactory. The problem is that their shells are not universal.

You can say that he is rich and willful, but he still has the beauty of Indo Logistics.

Anyway, the new cannons for fire defense have been shipped and shipped, and the old cannons that have been eliminated will be given away directly.

The investors are also optimistic about their future. After all, the withdrawal of the pro-Fa people must be triggered by the end of the pro-fa regime.

The one from their country was not glorious when he went up, and it was all because of the support from his countrymen.

I don’t know if he will end up better than the madman Colonel in Beifei if he is kicked out in the future.
On the tower, Xia Yu and his wife were talking about work. After looking at the scenery for a while, the couple became interested in the "satellite pot" behind Xia Yu.

But why does this thing have three sides?
Is it possible to watch hundreds of TV channels with three satellites?

It was difficult for the two of them to understand this non-rotating multi-faceted phased array radar, but even if it was a rotating one, it would be difficult to understand it if it was covered with a small ball.

The military is far away from ordinary people, and only those in the industry need to be proficient in relevant knowledge.

"Dad, Mom, before the helicopter is rented out, you can go see the old and new Swan Castle tomorrow!"

As the sun set, Xia Yu stopped talking about work and arranged her parents' travel itinerary.

The castles in Germany are worth seeing, but the small castles they use for their own residence and business are not worth seeing.

But the castle-like palaces built by the monarchs of small countries are still very interesting.

However, Bavaria is a bit far away. It is located to the south and north of Mecklenburg, so driving is not as good as helicopter travel.

"Just look at the arrangements. Don't forget about that church."

Lin Shuqin added after saying yes.

Middle-aged people mainly travel by checking in, or the same is true for young people.

"The Cologne Cathedral is quite famous. I'll take a look at it on the way back. But I won't go with you. I have to go to the country."

Xia Yu said to his parents.

He came to Europe this time to accompany the childbirth and do some work on the side.

Inspecting the branch is one of them, and the other is to control the acceptance of the St. Paul and the familiarity of the pilots and logistics with the work on the ship.

The pilot directly interfaces with tourists for easy explanation, and the logistics team is equally important.

Whether it is the maintenance of aircraft, the storage and loading of ammunition, the management of various fuels, the use and troubleshooting of various equipment on board, these are all inseparable from a serious and efficient logistics team.

The original sailors from China on the St. Paul were too old, and the Bassi people were not up to par, so Xiayu hired many veterans who had retired from the Charles de Gaulle.

The remaining positions are filled by migrant workers from their hometowns.

Unlike those foreign employees who signed long-term contracts, they only signed short-term contracts of one to one and a half years.

Back then, Lao Xia and the others had only started working on the construction site for two or three years. These boat people couldn't bear the loneliness.

No, this ship cannot run yet, and the conditions are not as difficult as shipping. There is an unlimited supply of fresh fruits and vegetables, and there is free, stable, and fast Wifi!

Satellite Internet access is really expensive, so Xia Yu doesn't feel pain if he has money. Ordinary crew members cannot afford such consumption.

A family of four returned to the mother-in-law's house in the town in the dark.

Sofia and Hannah had already prepared dinner, and a variety of stews and fried dishes made the couple appetite.

Eat, you still want to eat stir-fried vegetables after eating too much, your stomach cannot be changed. When Lao Xia went abroad to work, he still ate food cooked by domestic chefs. After eating Western food for a long time, he still missed that bite later.

This is why there are Chinese restaurants in most countries around the world.

Foreigners who don’t see it will definitely love it, and Chinese people who go abroad to work hard and don’t know how to cook will definitely support it.
