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

Chapter 408 officially sets sail, I will be the godfather (please double the monthly ticket!)

Yes, Francois can make the decision on Mirage IIIG/G8 by himself, but the Mirage-4000, which represents many things, cannot be decided by him alone.

"But I will try my best to promote this matter. The Mirage-4000 of that era was somewhat untimely, and its high price ruined our only twin-engine heavy fighter that could compete with the F-15."

The old Buddha continued.

Due to the inability to dilute the cost due to the limited equipment scale, French weapons are notoriously expensive. Even if Dassault believes that the Rafale is already extremely cost-effective, not many countries can afford a brand-new machine.

Like many Eastern European countries, they all take over the second-hand Rafale from the Chinese Air Force, so that they can win it at a unit price of less than 1 million.

This is why Xiayu is confident to purchase 10 second-hand AS 550s from them.

If you can drive a new car, who would be willing to buy a second-hand one? Only by disposing of a second-hand Rafale at a cheap price can you have a new Rafale, and only by disposing of a second-hand Fennec Fox at a cheap price can you have a new Cheetah.

Yes, after decades of hard work in the niche field of light helicopters, the Chinese people discovered that they had gone astray when they watched a big country play with the packaged dolphins.

The light helicopters of their air force, navy, and army are all different, and may be more specific to the use scenarios, but the logistics are just a mess, wasting a lot of budget.

Xiayu's profit from selling one AS 550 is equivalent to selling several SA 341/342 Gazelles, not to mention that the system man-hours consumed are almost the same.

"So I'll leave these 10 Fennec Foxes to General."

By then, the logistical pressure will be greatly reduced, and the budget that needs to be allocated will be perfect.

"No problem, I can agree to this now."

He doesn't have so much free time. How nice would it be to have time to spend with his wife and children?
In other words, vertical take-off and landing fighter jets are worth dedicating dozens of hours to Xia Yu, because he wants to get 5 types as soon as possible to see if he can get the title of vertical take-off and landing fanatic like the variable swept wing and unlock the medieval vertical take-off. Reduce technical reserves.

It also has to be capable of supersonic speed, long range, and stealth. In the face of such a super fighter, the F-35B can only be described as unbearable. It obviously looked like science fiction when I was a child.

He took advantage of the situation and made a request to Francois to buy second-hand helicopters.

In his private collection, the swept-wing branch library added new people, heading straight for double digits.

The pilots and support staff will remain on the ship throughout the entire journey, and they can continue training as long as they sail through the rough North Atlantic.

For example, like the repurchase authorization for Feiyu anti-ship missiles, although the goods were sold to a third country, as a partner, it also gave the other party face.

That's it after breaking the filter, but even if you don't like it that much, it doesn't prevent you from having the opportunity to collect one. After all, it is possible to summon the dragon by collecting 5 types.

The confrontation between modern times and World War II across eras is quite explosive.

After Xia Yu returned to the Brest Naval Shipyard, he stayed for another week. He sent Liv, whose due date was approaching, back to Germany first, and then rushed back to prepare to send the St. Paul to set sail.

As a major country in the research, development and production of helicopters, Laiguo cannot afford to lose this person. Xiayu can only purchase goods from them and cannot provide any leasing services.

After chatting with Francois about some other projects, Xia Yu prepared to leave before dark.

As long as there is this technical support, Xiayu can develop a true vertical take-off and landing fighter, rather than a compromise plan of short take-off and vertical landing.

When the time comes, they will borrow their Mirage III V to disassemble, reassemble, and build a new aircraft.

That is, the H-160M ​​multi-purpose helicopter, the military model of the Airbus H-160, can replace the Skylark, Panther, Jaguar, Oryx, and Fennec Fox.

The old Buddha waved his head and agreed.

However, the Red Blacksmith, like the Harrier, is only a subsonic fighter, and the Japanese Mirage III V was the only vertical take-off and landing fighter that could break through Mach 2 at the time.

In fact, if the two verification aircraft hadn't crashed one after another, he would have liked to take this opportunity to ask the people of China for a Mirage III V vertical take-off and landing fighter.

If all three services use a common platform for the joint light helicopter project, how much money can be saved in logistics?

So they also have their own "dolphin", no, it's a cheetah!

And with the endorsement of the producing country, Xia Yu can also stuff the new flying fish he printed using the system into the missiles he bought back.

"Du~~"

It's a pity that both of them crashed, and the No. 1 prototype, which crashed less completely, was repaired and entered the museum.

Xia Yu thought for a while and the only way was to establish a friendly museum relationship with the aircraft carrier museum and exchange collections for exhibitions.

The tugboat responsible for this voyage has entered the shipyard and completed preparations for towing.

But the Vertical Takeoff and Landing branch is still all Harrier. It would have been impossible to see it unless Alexei helped buy a Mast Defender.

Xiayu has completed the preparation of all anti-aircraft guns, and the St. Paul will complete the final installation and debugging after arriving in port.

It's not easy to get this kind of orphan product. No matter how stingy the people in the country are, they still don't need your millions.

There are 10 fewer Fennec Foxes, and they still have a huge number of antelopes, which can definitely last until the new helicopters are put into service. It's not like the Germans want to rent planes.

It's just that the amount of work involved is a bit large. Xia Yu, who is not an orphan collector, is not willing to reproduce the bugs, but if he wants to mass-produce it out of thin air in this way, he still needs the adaptation number of each part.

One clear and clear morning, the St. Paul, which blew its whistle, was towed away from the berth by a tugboat and headed out of the port.

After walking out of the Ministry of National Defense, Xia Yu turned around and looked at the Hexagon Building.

So these 10 Fennec Foxes are just the beginning. The remaining 30 Xiayu are also targeted and will be purchased when their first batch of Cheetahs is delivered.

The same is true for the Mavericks air-to-ground missiles that many people are familiar with. It is okay to focus on fire defense for personal use. But if the museum wants to put it on the shelves, it is better to talk to Lao Mei, lest the CIA does not have the foresight to use him as a performance and start a war directly. .

It is necessary to seize every minute and every second before the official operation of the aircraft carrier museum, because after arriving in Konluga, the flight deck does not leave much time for their aviation department.

Leading players need a unified platform, but there are at least hundreds of countries in the world who can only pick and choose in the second-hand market. Fennec fox is considered the top product on the shelf.

For the final two weeks, this will be the home ground of the air defense department.

It's good to get the goods at a cheap price. The Gallic chicken is better than the strong one, and it is much stingier in spending money than the Hans cat.

Xia Yu on the dock raised his mobile phone to record the scene.

"The third phase of the Afika War Museum officially starts today!"

After editing the text, he sent the dozens of seconds of video to Little Bluebird.

The number of likes and comments quickly increased, and Xia Yu's satellite phone also rang at the same time.

"All?"

"Hello, Sherlock, I just saw your push. The St. Paul has set sail, right?"

Paul Allen's voice came from the other end of the phone.

As his life began to count down, he became a more serious Internet addict than before.

"Yes man, it will be open for business on time on January 1st, and the Allen will be landing on the flight deck of the St. Paul on that day."

The Allen was the Stuka that had been repaired. Xia Yu, who knew what the other party wanted to ask, answered directly.

"That's great. My Octopus will set off tonight and pick me up on the east coast after crossing the Panama Canal. I will definitely be in time for this event."

Paul Allen said excitedly.

He started to reserve his physical strength a month in advance and felt that he was now fully equipped to sail across the Atlantic for the last time in his life and see his Allen flying into the blue sky again.

"By the way, I might bring a friend over." Paul added.

friend? Bill Gates?
He owns a lot of private jets, but none of them are fighter jets, and the probability of them being Tom Cruise is higher than him.

But seriously, in the second phase of the three-phase project, the aircraft carrier museum will officially operate F-14 Tomcat fighter jets, and Tom Cruise will definitely be invited to the platform.

I just heard that "Top Gun 2" may officially start filming next year, but it will be a little late, and I'm afraid it won't be able to catch up with this wave of popularity.

It's nothing. As long as Tom Cruise stands here, takes pictures from various angles, and then takes off in an F-14 and shoots down a MiG-28, the whole audience will be blown away.

It will definitely make the world's headlines by then. Xia Yu can completely imagine such a scene in his mind.

"That will only make Paul and your friends live on the yacht. The five-star hotel I invested in will not be completed until the year after next. The suites on the boat are too noisy during the day, which will affect your rest."

Xia Yu said apologetically.

Patients, like babies, need a quiet resting environment, and the St. Paul is indeed not suitable.

"Hahaha, what's the point? It's fine if we live on the Octopus, but old Larry must live on the aircraft carrier."

Paul didn't care and instead talked about Larry Ellison.

This guy was 9 years older than him, but he was as strong as an ox. He was afraid that not only would he have to live on the St. Paul, but he would also have to experience fighting with all the fighter jets on the aircraft carrier.

"Yes, he made a reservation for the captain's suite with me a long time ago, and also said that he must personally fly our MiG-29UBK."

Xia Yu also said with a smile.

This famous weirdo is their potential number one player. After all, he has a MiG-29 pilot's license.

It’s just that the old fulcrum of the Magnesium Country that removed the weapon function has no soul. In Afika, you can enjoy ejection takeoff, live ammunition shooting, and aerial refueling services.

I'm afraid I won't be able to charter a MiG-29UBK for a long time. Enjoy the last flight time before the bones are crispy.

After all, the example of Paul Allen is right in front of us. He can't leave all of his money to his son and daughter!

Two unlucky guys spent a lot of money to get into Hollywood, and were cheated out of their money by vampires in the entertainment industry. They might as well have fun burning fuel and shooting missiles in a fighter jet.

Xia Yu likes this consumption concept very much.

Yes, isn't it Hollywood? They can also make movies here, and there are no special effects at all. They are all real soldiers.

"He is better than me. Both he and his son can fly the MiG-29. Unlike me, I can't even fly the MiG- after buying it. I can't even sit on it, so I can only look at it from below."

Paul envied old Larry. While God gave him amazing wealth, he also gave him a healthy body.

As for being married 4 times, divorced 4 times, and changing girlfriends like a flop of cards, he doesn't envy this very much, after all, everyone has their own ambitions.

When Paul said this, the atmosphere suddenly became sad.

"Fighters can't do it, but propeller planes can. If you're willing, buddy, I'll take you on a flight on the Allen."

Xia Yu pondered for a moment and then said.

He and the other party have only known each other for a short time, but they are considered like-minded friends in the field of military equipment collection.

Now, this friend will die soon, so he cannot let the other party leave any regrets.

"If you don't take me with you to dive and drop bombs, there should be no problem."

Paul joked eagerly.

The G value of the Stuka dive is indeed a bit high, but Xia Yu will not joke with the patient's body.

"Don't worry, buddy, the Allen is older than old Larry. I will treat you two well."

"Okay, I'll wait, but where is your wife? The baby should be born soon, right?"

Paul turned to Liv.

He is wifeless and childless, but he is also happy with the arrival of new life.

"Yes, the baby will be born next week at the earliest. If it's later, it will be the next week."

After the baby is born, they will stay for another week at most and then fly back to Afika.

As a foreigner, she is not in confinement. Liv does not have the physique of a dragoon, but she is also the kind that is easy to give birth to. There is no problem in returning to Afika after a week's rest.

It's too hard for people like the Ying royal family to wear high heels and give interviews to the media right after giving birth. Even if they grew up eating beef, mutton and dairy products, they still can't bear it!

"Do you have a name?"

Paul continued to ask.

"Yes, the English name is Xia De."

"Shade? That must be a clever child. If possible, Sherlock, I want to be the child's godfather."

Knowing the child's name, Paul said to Xia Yu.

He knew that neither Xia Yu nor Liv believed in religion, but the godfather seemed to have similar opinions in China.

"Of course, I hope this child can bring good luck to his godfather."

Xia Yu agreed happily.

They are friends. It is normal for a child to recognize his father's friend as his godfather.

It is difficult for this godfather to watch little Youzi grow up. Paul, who has suffered from cancer three times, can live to this day. This is already the result of his ability. Ordinary people would not be able to survive the first time.

"I hope so too, and where do you think the godfather is the full moon, right?"

Paul asked with a smile.

He had done some research. Chinese people do not need to be baptized to recognize their godfather. They only need to hold a banquet before and after the full moon or on the 100th day.

"Yes, just in time."

All the people in Xiayu are in Mali during the Hundred Days, so only around the full moon is most suitable.

"Okay, let's not talk anymore, we will meet in Afika."

Feeling a little tired after confirming this most important thing, Paul spoke.

"Well, see you Afika."

Not long after Xia Yu hung up the phone, many more calls came in.

There are those from Magnesium, as well as those from Osmium Ross and Basi. You can imagine how lively it will be on New Year's Day.

Busa, which has purchased five new second-hand Airbus A5s, has borrowed crew members and added flights from Busa to Konluga, to Asayo Pya, and to Niriliya.
