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

Chapter 406: Asian Branch, detailed discussion on order (please double the monthly ticket!)

"Why are you back so early today?"

Seeing her husband open the door, Liv asked.

"The Chinese people couldn't help but come to me. They want to launch another crackdown on the Sahel region."

Xia Yu said a while ago that the people from the country would take the initiative to find him, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

In other words, the attack will be launched in the first quarter of next year, and planning should be launched by the end of this year.

Except for sudden hostage rescues, any major operation is not done on the fly. There is a time lag of several months between the two parties for their first cooperation.

"This job won't be easy this time. The other side has strengthened its troops in the Oga direction. We may be deployed on the front lines of Tinker Batu and Kidal."

Xia Yuren was not in Mari, but he had been following the situation in Mari during this period and knew where the Fa people were weak.

"Then shall my child and I go along?"

Liv asked, rubbing her belly.

"No, the conditions there are too difficult. Let's wait until the child can crawl and walk."

Xia Yu also wanted to be a family of three, but it was still too dangerous to deploy on the front line.

"Before this, if you are tired of staying in Europe and Kongluga, you can take your children and go back to China with your parents. Then we can fly to the Far East together."

He also talked about Osmium Rose’s schedule next year.

After achieving the goal of eradication and concentrating fire defense to assist the Mao people to finish the work, Xia Yu could also take a short break and return to his family... no, he would take the whole family to purchase goods.

"Yes, I have been to the Far East, and I want to visit grandma's hometown."

Liv almost forgot about this incident.

"In that case, how about my child and I go back to China with my father and mother to celebrate the New Year?"

She calculated the time and found that the New Year would still be in February next year.

Xia Yu is busy with business matters and has no time, but the two of them have plenty of time!

"Okay, your parents will definitely be very happy if they hear that you are following them back. Also, I built that house in the countryside to marry a wife and have children. You and Xiao Youzi will go back and live there more when you have the chance."

The money for building a new house was not Xia Yu's first pot of gold after acquiring the system, but it was the loot he captured when he engaged in his first business in the PMC industry, so it is very memorable.

By the way, I can also spend time with Lao Xia and Lin Shuqin. The two people who have always wanted to have grandchildren have half of their dreams come true this year.

As for the other half, they have to wait. After all, no one knows whether the next child will be a boy or a girl.

When chatting with his wife about returning to China with his children, Xia Yu almost forgot about the business and simply had dinner before turning on the computer to work.

A lot of information is public on the Internet. For example, the Mao Army is currently equipped with a total of 40 AS 550 helicopters.

The number seems to be small, mainly because the duiker is too durable and the fennec fox cannot completely replace it.

However, the quantity sold was quite large. In addition to buying the goods from the people from the country, he might also have to make a trip to get a salary increase later.

To be honest, this small country is really rich. It has F-15s and F-16s, Apaches and Chinooks, caracals and fennec foxes.

But with a total population of less than 1000 million, there is a surplus of so much equipment, so many aircraft are used for a few years, sold second-hand after more than ten years, and then bought new ones.

Xia Yu plans to wrap up their remaining AS 550s this time, so that the freed up staff can be used to buy new machines.

Then we took advantage of this opportunity to conduct an on-site inspection of the maritime security business in the Strait of Malacca.

The headlines that year were the Samari pirates in the Gulf of Athenaeum. However, after the joint escort by naval vessels of multiple countries, these pirates subsided a lot, and the number of pirate attacks in the Gulf of Adenia gradually increased.

People who are not in the industry are not sensitive to news about these pirates. The same is true for the Strait of Malacca.

This year's data has not yet been released, but Xiayu spent money to buy several copies of last year's professional report, which detailed the number of pirate attacks that occurred in Malacca and surrounding waters throughout the year.

It is hard to imagine that there were 122 cases (including hostage kidnapping), which was more than the number of cases that occurred near the Gulf of Guinea.

After learning more about it, Xia Yu discovered that one of the reasons was why the states of Ding, Yinni, and Malexiya prohibited the provision of private armed security within their territorial waters.

There are no PMSC employees on the ship, so isn’t this a fat sheep?
The pirates who are as comfortable as a fish in water don't need too much firepower to board the ship successfully.

Those without safe cabins kidnap hostages and demand ransom, while those with safe cabins raid the crew's personal finances, and then act as oil rats at sea, extracting crude oil or refined oil products loaded on tankers.

Their one-time guaranteed income is hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars higher. They make more than the black brothers, and they are safer.

Unfortunately, Xia Yu, who was preparing to launch maritime business, took aim at this piece of fat.

Unlike PMSC, which has a long-term business of stationing ships, Concentrated Fire Defense adopts a different business model. Merchant ships that need to cross the territorial waters of multiple countries cannot hire private maritime security guards. Without them boarding the ship, they will not enter the territorial waters of these countries at all. .

Yes, it can be said that it is reasonable and legal to complete the matter directly on the high seas, and no one can find fault.

Taking this opportunity, Jihuo Defense Asia Branch can also build the initial framework.

The main business direction of the European branch is counter-terrorism, while the Asian branch is focused on combating piracy. Because other businesses are very sensitive, combating piracy is the safest option.

Then, we need to capture the Asian market first and build up the company's maritime strike force, so that we can easily take over the security strike business in Guinea Gulf.

Xia Yu's eyes have been fixed on the situation on the west coast of Afika, and he clearly knows that the pirate attacks in the Gulf of Guinea have not yet reached their peak.

The number of cases may double and double again in a few years, and that is the best time to enter the market.

Before that, he had enough time to build the company's maritime strike force and practice his skills with the heads of Malacca pirates.

After all, Xiayu finally managed to get a big ship, so he couldn't clear out all the pirates in two years and just get back his money, right?
Stable, sustained, and generous profits are the goal of Jihuo Defense. If you don't earn back the ship's money exponentially, you will lose money.

Xiayu doesn't do business at a loss.

If the St. Paul is registered under the name of the museum, it can make a profit. The new ship is not so profitable as a strike platform for concentrated fire defense. It can save a lot of trouble if it is listed in the Asian branch.

Taking out his notepad, he rearranged his schedule.

When they withdrew from Mari and picked up Liv and her son, they asked the Fisher to stop for pay and extra fuel. It wouldn't be too late to return to China after the matter was discussed.

However, looking through the dense schedule, Xia Yu's work next year will not be as busy as usual.

During this and February, others will have to keep an eye on Konluga. The third phase of the aircraft carrier museum is on the right track, and it will be seamlessly connected to the Sahel region.

As the boss, Xia Yu should be the second batch to go, and the vanguard may go to the front station of Marida when the museum opens.

If you calculate carefully, it will be at least another quarter. The salary increase schedule may last from a week to half a month, and you will stay in the country for another half month.

Maybe after returning from shopping in Osmium Ross, the child just learned to call daddy?

That's not bad, he didn't miss too much time.

…………

Time flies and it's the weekend. The old revolutionary areas have weekends off and wages need to be increased, but the Ministry of National Defense cannot wear vests on the streets.

The people on duty during the weekend stayed in the building obediently until Xia Yu, who had gone through the security check, came to the building. He still remembered that the last time he came here was to get a license, but after more than a year, it was now to get orders.

"Nice to see you again, Mr. Sherlock!"

Jean, the liaison officer who had been transferred to another shift, came over.

"I'm glad too. I've been at the Brest Naval Shipyard for the past two weeks. You should really go and see me."

Xia Yu had contacted the other party on the phone many times, and this was really the second time they met.

"The External Security Service is not the CIA. We do not have the obsessive-compulsive disorder of knowing the real-time location of our partners, so I'm sorry, Mr. Sherlock, but we didn't know you came to the country."

As he explained, he did not forget to blackmail the Chinese people.

"But if you kindly invite me, I happen to be on vacation the day after tomorrow. It would be great to have a glimpse of the Foch. My father once served on her sister ship."

Jean was also born in the military, but like his grandfather, he worked in the army and was very curious about naval ships.

"Then you must come. Our carrier-based aircraft are free of charge during training. This opportunity is quite rare."

After hearing what the other party said, Xia Yu invited again.

Before leaving the country, a training flight without live ammunition and ballast operations was regarded as a company benefit, and indeed no money could be collected.

"Definitely, I will definitely seize this opportunity!"

Who doesn't like it when it's free? Having been a part-time liaison officer in fire defense for so long, I can finally enjoy it.

"But let's not talk for now, the general is still waiting for you upstairs."

Rang raised his hand to look at the time and said to Xia Yu.

He is a general, not a defense minister. After all, Western defense ministers do not understand military matters.

These politicians probably have no military experience and do not know how to use any firearms.

For example, the Chief of Defense Staff is someone who wears military uniforms and is knowledgeable and responsible for specific things, rather than boasting in front of the camera and showing off to the whole audience.

"Hello, General!"

Looking at the general with thick hair in front of him, Xia Yu greeted him.

Before coming to Bali, he did his homework and knew that this person was just promoted by Brother Ma.

The last one was dissatisfied with the banker's plan to reduce military spending, so he stubbornly submitted his resignation.

Politicians always like to cut military spending, especially those from the financial industry.

As the world situation becomes increasingly tense, military expenditures cannot be reduced, but must be increased to cope with unknown changes.

NATO seems to have had nothing going on in recent years, but what if someone one day makes a big deal out of it?

Will we increase military spending by then?
It's not impossible, but if the black guys take the opportunity to attack, it will be difficult to protect their interests in Afika.

At that time, it was the best time for Xiayu to increase its investment. Expanding the mine by double digits in a year was not a dream.

"Hello, Mr. Sherlock, you are as young as I imagined."

The general looked at Xia Yu for a few seconds before speaking.

He knew that Asians looked young, but after reading the other person's information, he knew the other person's true age.

The highest level in the mixed military system is only a major, but within a few years, he has made a name for himself in the PMC industry and has become a partner recognized by their strength.

"Yes, General, experience in this industry is very important, but youth also has advantages. I can charge on the front line with my guys and get close to the battlefield, so as to seize every opportunity."

Xia Yu talked about his understanding.

Unlike other industries, if the boss of a PMC company can not only find business but also fight with employees, the bonus to combat effectiveness will increase exponentially.

The bosses of many friendly businesses sit in the rear areas. Their employees are professional, but their combat effectiveness is hard to describe.

It is possible to beat Uncle Hei, but because he has the mentality of beating a worker, he doesn’t have that energy.

Focused fire defense is different. The boss and employees are really comrades fighting side by side. They show each other's professionalism and drive, which reflects absolute efficiency.

"Understandably, when I was a company commander, I also enjoyed spending time with my soldiers."

The general nodded and said.

"But then I became a battalion commander, a brigade commander, and everything changed. I could no longer remember each of their names. They ended up becoming numbers in my hands for arranging troops."

Xia Yu understood clearly that this was the transition from a grassroots commander to a mid-level and high-level commander.

To complete such a transformation, he may have to recharge his batteries. After all, he graduated from college majoring in mechanics, not command.

With his own talent + system instillation and understanding of equipment, Xia Yu's limit is a reinforced company.

Giving a small battalion 100 vehicles is definitely not enough, but concentrated fire defense is still far away from this scale. His level has been sufficient for the past five or six years.

"Of course, they are not numbers, but real people. Every time I see the transport plane flying back from Afika, the door is opened and the coffin is taken out, my heart aches."

The general continued.

Yes, if you don't want to kill someone, you have to spend money, which is why he came to Xia Yu.

Even if thousands of people are scattered in different directions, the target is too big. Only a PMC company like Fire Defense can deal a heavy blow to the opponent without knowing it.

"So which extremist organization is the target this time?"

Xia Yu asked.

"They are very extreme, but it is more accurate to use anti-government forces. Your target is the Movement for the Coordination of Azawad."

The general got to the point and stated the target they needed to focus fire defense and clear out.

"Coordinated Movement of Azawad? Is the other party a Tuareg?"

Xia Yu immediately confirmed.

"Yes, these Gaddafi mercenaries are proficient in all kinds of military equipment and have caused a lot of casualties to us and the Mali government forces. Only an unforgettable blow can bring them back to their senses."

The general said calmly.

Hearing this, Xia Yu wanted to ask the other party who released these Tuareg mercenaries back then. Isn't this a typical good-for-nothing and fun-loving person who cultivates gu and backfires on himself?

This is the case for the people in the country of Zhao, and the same is true for the people of the country of Mei. There really is nothing new under the sun.

However, the Coordination Movement of Azawad not only attacks soldiers, but also kills non-Tuareg civilians.

This is in line with the standard of fire defense. It can be regarded as wiping the butt of the people of the country. Xia Yu accepted this job without any psychological burden, but they had to pay more!
