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

Chapter 412 Captain Ha-hsin, trial operation in progress (asking for double monthly tickets at the beginning of the month!)

However, even if he does not subscribe to the one-to-one ultimate VIP service and becomes the first customer of the aircraft carrier museum's trial opening, Xia Yu still has to personally serve it so that customers can enjoy the best consumer experience.

"When the time comes, you can use this terminal to control the movement of warships, as well as self-defense counterattacks with anti-aircraft weapons on warships?"

At the same time that Lao Ha fell into a sweet dream, Xia Yu, who had just had dinner at this time, moved to Black Point Port and spoke to several technical staff in his native language.

Their specific location is on a warship with a displacement of about 3000 tons in the port.

Although it is only a fraction of the size of the St. Paul, it is larger than any ship in the Navy.

So this is a new ship from Jihuo Defense Asia?
No, no, no, this is just a target ship, a recently retired Yingguo Type 21 frigate.

After 6 second-hand ships were delivered to Baba Sheep, they were classified as destroyers, Talik-class destroyers.

In the 90s, the unit price was US$1200 million.

Today, more than 20 years later, the friendly price is 200 million. The ship comes with a six-unit LY-60 red Aspad ship-to-air missile box-type launch system.

the technician immediately added.

Of course, these are just the prices of the target ship. Anti-ship missiles are also needed to sink the target.

The price of this ship Xiayu is US$1200 million. It has relatively few anti-aircraft weapons and has no sense of achievement in fighting. It is better to add 800 million and go directly to the Talik class.

The technician warned Xia Yu.

Customers who can afford large-scale naval and air combat role-playing projects don't mind this at all. After all, a single addition to their yacht costs millions of dollars.

This is the result of actual measurement. The Talik class could originally run at a maximum speed of 32 knots, but after almost 40 years of use, the gas turbine main engine that provides power has many minor problems due to aging, so it can no longer run fast.

This makes it difficult for Xiayu to be put on the shelves. Lao Feiyu’s price of 250 million is just right.

But what can I say? Anyway, there are only a few hundred rounds left in the 3300-round barrel. No one is left on the ship to load the ammunition. After firing the 16 rounds in the rotating ring, it is considered to be fully used.

"By the way, how is the explosive filling of the ballast tanks going?"

Both weapons on the ship are installed later, and the MK8 114mm naval gun that comes with the factory can only play a supporting role.

Except for one of the six Talik-class ships that Baba Yang wanted to retire, he bought them back for use as a museum, and the remaining five ships were all taken over by him.

Yes, compared to the long-term orders placed by Maojun, although individual customers do not calculate the oil price separately, the package price has soared at least five times.

For the time being, Jihuo Defense can only provide Feiyu from Tao Kingdom. Xiayu can use F-16 to print the air-launched version of Harpoon, but it has not purchased such missiles, so it is not easy to keep accounts.

This naval gun can be used for air defense. The record in the Falklands War was pretty good, but it was still a bit weak against third-generation aircraft.

And compared to the price of missiles, refueling costs only a few dollars.

This is a high-definition target ship, a one-time use thing.

Now that money has become thinner, the export price of the latest model Feiyu sold by the Chinese people has also risen to 400 million per shot.

Xia Yu offered Lao Feiyu a price of 250 million US dollars per round. Money was valuable in those days, and it was indeed only 20 per round.

Of course, it is not lonely either. The Italian Aspad missile has all the technology to dismantle its warhead, which can definitely make VIPs secrete dopamine and adrenaline like crazy.

The tonnage of Old Magnesium's Stark was still small. The captain neglected his duty and took two rounds, but only 37 sailors died. It was returned to the factory for repairs and cost 8700 million US dollars before it could be redeployed.

These delicate and delicate things cannot burn heavy fuel like aircraft carriers, and fighter jets will definitely have to pay a premium for aerial refueling.

What a sense of accomplishment it is to beat up the old Armada!
The quoted price of US$2000 million is not very expensive, right?

"Yes, Mr. Xia, but under remote control, the ship can only run 20 knots at the fastest."

"It is all filled in place. If the anti-ship missile does not hit the ammunition depot, it will automatically trigger the detonation after water enters the cabin."

In a real naval battle, the probability of a battleship being destroyed is very high, so the ammunition depot must be filled with explosives.

This thing seemed to be advanced back then, but now it can only be used as a prop for fun on the target ship.

"Twenty knots is enough, I just want it to look like it's running away."

There are 50 flying fishes in the warehouse, and the company can make 100 or 200 flying fish. After all, not all target ships are as unlucky as the Sheffield destroyer. One shot directly goes into the soul.

The more expensive one is the harpoon. According to Lao Mei, the most expensive dish costs 600 million.

he asked again.

Feiyu is different. He has repurchased at least 20 coins and is still negotiating for new orders.

"That's ok. This terminal control system will be installed directly on the tugboat tomorrow. There will be a whole day the day after tomorrow for debugging out of the port."

When performing anti-ship missions, you must order an aerial refueling service worth $100 million.

The most important thing in military-to-actual combat role-playing is the sound and light effects. If you sink it but don't blow it up, your sense of accomplishment will be reduced by half.

As for the MiG-29UBK flying fish, only 6 of the 2 pivots in the museum have modified launchers that can be refueled in the air, and have the ability to mount and launch legal anti-ship missiles.

There are also cheaper ones. Parked next to this destroyer is a little guy, the Aier coastal patrol ship, which is only a little over 1000 tons.

Therefore, if anti-shipping is to be effective, it must conduct a saturation attack and fire five or six rounds directly.

After confirming that there was no problem, Xia Yu was ready to withdraw.

There is also an MK-15 Block 1 Phalanx short-range defense weapon system that looks like the lawless villain played by "King of Hong Kong" in "The Happy Piggy"; or it looks like a long-headed minion.

Xia Yu waved and said there was no problem.

毕竟小700公斤呢，比一发1000磅的GBU-16都重，挂上6发后米格-29UBK本就很差的续航就更低了。

If you want to ask him how much does it cost to recycle one round, and how much does it cost to print a round of materials, I can only say that it is a business secret and I have no comment.

After confirming all the procedures, Xia Yu rushed home at 1 o'clock in the morning.

Being a boss is so difficult. He has to work for several days to earn tens of millions of dollars. His rare parenting time has been squeezed out.

Instead of going to stay with my wife and children, I went directly to a guest room to sleep. I was woken up by the alarm clock at dawn.

In the morning, I was busy with preparations for the opening, and in the afternoon, I had to welcome the first guest of the aircraft carrier museum—Prince Ha Yuan.

Not the one last time, that was Crown Prince Harbin of Dubai.

This is the younger brother of the Sheikh of Abu Dhabi. He is much older, but his succession ranking is not high. The crown prince is his other brother.

It doesn't matter if he can't be a chief. He prefers military affairs to politics. The wealth of the Al Nahyan family is enough for him to live a life of luxury.

"Wow~Wow~~"

After lunch in the main restaurant of the yacht, Ha Yuanzhen heard the sound of helicopter propellers.

But he didn't care. His subordinates had just come to report that their radar had locked onto a helicopter.

The yacht retains anti-ship missiles and anti-aircraft missiles. However, the number of pirates with helicopters is very small, and the Mistral on the ship has never been used.

"Ask the other party about their intention. There are still 20 nautical miles to arrive. They may be the ones setting fire for defense."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Xia Yu on the Fennec Fox didn't know that he was almost targeted by the missile.

If it is Laohu and Super Hornet, the northwest wind is nothing, and the AS 550 will have no problem.

The rich guys in the Middle East don't like Russian products very much. Portable air defense missiles are generally equipped with domestic products.

After the pilot announced his identity, the fennec fox landed on the log-colored flight deck of Yas, and Xia Yu also stepped on the yacht, which was converted from a warship.

"Nice to meet you, Your Highness Harman."

Arriving at the lower deck, Xia Yu stepped forward and shook hands with Lao Ha.

"Me too, this is our first meeting Mr. Sherlock, but I'm sure we will meet often."

Does the other party mean to always take care of his business?
It must be welcomed to become a super VIP customer of the museum. Xia Yu is willing to go into battle in person every time.

Customers who are willing to spend money deserve such an honor. Taijun, who spent more than 2 million to buy Musk's moon-circling spacecraft, can ride on his neck for a photo.

He was just working as a driver. Apart from sacrificing some time and energy, he really had nothing to lose.

"I also firmly believe this. Your Highness, did you have a hard time coming all the way from Yingguo?"

"It's not hard, but there are a lot of pirates in Guinea Bend. I killed two of their speedboats on the way."

Ha Yuanjue waved his hands, as if he was talking about something trivial.

"It was our failure to focus on fire defense and fail to develop maritime business as soon as possible, which allowed these pirates to affect His Highness."

Xia Yu immediately took over the responsibility.

"Hahaha, I'm just happy when they come. The few harpoons on the ship have been kept for several years before they can be used. I took advantage of this opportunity to use up two harpoons."

Lao Ha said with a smile.

But Xia Yu couldn't help complaining after hearing this. He used a harpoon to hit the pirate speedboat. This was too wasteful!

It's just something done by the other side. These small countries lying on the oil fields buy all kinds of expensive weapons and equipment just to pay protection fees to the big countries.

There is no danger anyway. There is no difference whether you use these bonus weapons or not, whether you use them well or poorly. So why not have some fun for yourself?

Having been born in "Rome", Ha Yuanzhen has only enjoyment in this life, but no matter how hard he tries, he is still not as good as a professional like Xia Yu.

"I have thrown Harpoons in an F-16F before, and I have also thrown Exocets with a Mirage 2000-9, but this is the first time I have to launch an Exocet with a MiG-29UBK."

Lao Ha said with emotion.

He liked such a mix and match, but he was not qualified to modify the Air Force's non-retired military aircraft according to his temper.

What a coincidence, they are all two-seater aircraft, right?

Xia Yu did not expose the customers' little thoughts, but there is one thing to say. Whether it is the Block 60 Desert Falcon or the special edition Mirage 2000-9, its combat effectiveness is the benchmark among the series of models.

Being able to take these two fighter jets for a ride at any time makes me a real winner in life.

"I will do my best to make your visit worthwhile."

Xia Yu immediately assured.

"I definitely believe in the professional abilities of ace pilots, but the theme this time is anti-ship. I also want to be an ace next time. Mr. Sherlock, do you think that's okay?"

Ha Yuanjue made a wish to Xiayu.

After beating up the warships and beating up the planes, and starting with five, this is a big order!
"Your Highness, please wait for two years until the F-14 Tomcat in our museum is in place. We will definitely meet your needs."

There was no need to fight when he saw the nest, Xia Yu quickly threw out the bait.

"Oh? Can you still get this?"

Lao Ha's eyes lit up. The Tomcat fighter jet was an unavoidable lesson for naval enthusiasts when learning carrier-based aircraft. Unfortunately, it was all retired by the Magnesium people.

He had inquired about it, but they didn't sell it even if it was cut into pieces. He really didn't expect Ji Fire Defense to get such hard goods.

"Of course, I got it by chance, but thinking about the upkeep and upkeep is a big headache."

Businessmen are all good actors. Xia Yu pretended to be distressed, which meant that his costs were very high.

"You already have F-14s, so setting the price higher is not a problem at all."

What is a discount? As a consumer, Lao Ha's operation of asking merchants to increase prices is really cool.

Maybe this is the real tycoon. A small boss like Xia Yu will never reach this level.

"But they are all F-14s. The AIM-54 Phoenix needs to be mounted, and the Tu-22M Backfire needs to be a target drone, right?"

Harman said excitedly again.

This variable-sweep-wing supersonic bomber put a lot of pressure on my hometown back then. The year it collapsed, I was still thinking of buying a few more, but Damao refused to sell it.

If you don't want to sell it, just keep it for yourself. After more than ten years, it will completely fall behind and you won't be able to sell it even if you want to.

"Your Highness, the Tu-22M backfire is a bit difficult, but the Tu-95 series is still no problem."

Xia Yu said apologetically.

Based on his experience in dealing with the Osmium Rus, even if this kind of strategic bomber is outdated, it would be a shame if you buy it and convert it into a target drone.

In comparison, those who only need money have no such scruples.

That is, a lot of Tu-160s and Tu-22Ms were dismantled back then, but a few of the older Tu-95s survived.

Of course, the condition will not be very good. The key is that Xiayu just needs to be ready to take off.

If the goods are not enough, the third brother will retire all eight Tu-8 anti-submarine aircraft this year, which is the Navy's Tu-142.

Except for one of them that will be converted into a museum, there are seven remaining.

After all the money was collected, it was enough to cover the museum's consumption for several years. Xia Yu was going to find an intermediary to contact him first and see what percentage of the rebate he would give.

This purchase and sale are two ways of doing things, and they will definitely be willing to do so.

"Tu-95 is Tu-95. You can see it more clearly at subsonic speeds. But if possible, I want two of them!"

Lao Ha wanted to understand the difficulty and no longer struggled with it, but he had new requirements for the number of targets to hit.

Yes, in order to ensure that they can complete their missions, strategic bombers mostly attack in two-plane formations, and in addition they must be escorted by fighter jets.

In Ha Yuanzhen's script, he is an ace pilot who intercepts the opponent's entire fleet with one plane!

However, under the advice of professional Xia Yu, it would be better for them to bring a lightly mounted wingman to help block the missiles.

"You're right. Wingmen are very important in real air combat. One-to-many is still too reluctant."

Lao Ha nodded in agreement.

That's right, the wingman helps consume the enemy aircraft's missiles, and it is he, the lead aircraft, who takes the fatal blow.

At this point, whoever pays has the final say. In terms of non-professionalism, Xia Yu fully listened to Party A’s opinions.

"That's pretty much the situation. I would like to ask Your Highness to accompany me on board the ship to fulfill the duties of an honorary captain."

After finalizing most of the details, Xia Yu sent an invitation to Ha Yuan.

The captain of the aircraft carrier of most countries must be a carrier-based aircraft pilot and have served as a wing leader.

And Lao Ha quickly got into the role.

"Then let's go!"

"Wow~Wow~~"

The fennec fox carried a group of people away from the yacht and flew towards the Black Point Pier at high speed.

"Helicopters arrive, confirm that all gun positions are clear of ammunition, and the muzzles of the guns are leveled!"

"No. 1 gun position has no ammunition and is leveled!"

"No. 2..."

Strict admission regulations can effectively avoid accidents. The ammunition management on the St. Paul is even stricter than that of the Tank Museum.

"Admission allowed!"

"Wow~Wow~~"

The AS 550 appeared in sight and quickly landed on the flight deck. Lao Ha, who had changed into a full captain's uniform, took off his sunglasses and stepped on his temporary ship.

Everywhere he looked, everyone was saluting him.

Yes, that's what it feels like.

"Captain Ha Yuan, let's go back to the captain's cabin to put down the luggage first, and then check the crew's work?"

Xia Yu, who was demoted to deputy captain, took the initiative to guide his captain Zhou Dao.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Vice Captain Sherlock later."

Lao Ha and his bodyguard carrying luggage followed the "officer" who led the way to the captain's room.

Fully experiencing the daily life of the aircraft carrier is also an important part of actual combat. In addition to the most important anti-ship operations, he still has at least four or five days to slowly experience the charm of the St. Paul.

For example, you can control various anti-aircraft artillery, target shooting drones, and other rich guys participating in the trial operation with ordinary tourists.

It officially opened on New Year's Day, and too many people poured into the St. Paul's.

There are still quite a lot of wealthy people who are willing to consume off-peak, and of course there are also high-profile players like Lao Larry.

They wish there were more people. Only if they enjoy the attention of everyone, the money will not be wasted.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu, who was still on the deck, looked towards the shore.

People of all hair colors are crowded together, more people than yesterday.

As long as you don't care about quality, you can spend less than 100 US dollars a day in Konluga. If you wait until New Year's Day to board the ship directly, these poor guys with a tight budget can save one round trip.

If he were still a college student at the same age as them, Xia Yu would also like special forces and budget-conscious travel.

Nowadays, quality is still very important. Boss Huang can afford it.

But I can’t fire cannons or sit in a fighter jet, but I can still watch the excitement from below.

It doesn’t cost a penny, just bring your own telescope.

"Look, look, look, carrier-based aircraft are coming out, they are F-4K and F-4J. It looks like they are all going to eject?"

Seeing two elevators transporting the four Phantoms in the hangar to the flight deck, a sharp-eyed guy in the crowd shouted.

Today is the training day of the Phantom Squadron. After all, on the official opening day, each squadron will fly over the St. Paul.

New guys and old guys need to take turns training to ensure the effect, but they will go deep into the high seas during training.

If you want to rent a boat to chase, you won't be able to catch up. Except for the beach at Point Noire Pier, the sea far away is blocked by the navy day and night.
