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

Chapter 423 The visitor is evil, new business (please vote for me!)
It was now three hours before dawn. After receiving a call from Xia Yu, the remaining personnel at the naval base drove all motor boats to the Black Point Pier and used fishing nets for salvage operations.

Yes, another submarine was blown to pieces, and he called people over to pick up the pieces.

If it is not dealt with now, the impact of being hit by waves on the beach after dawn will be even worse.

As for the submarine that did not explode, it was directly pulled out of the sea by the winch on the hunting submarine.

"Is this Mermaid-1M?"

The beam of the searchlight hit this "mine", and Xia Yu recognized this kind of front-mounted mini-submarine at a glance.

With a fully loaded displacement of 3.75 tons, it can hardly be called a submarine.

It was only when he learned about Sandoko's Seal XXVII B 5 type submarine that he learned about this underwater vehicle used by Soviet frogmen.

It is small in size, but can be deployed underwater for up to 10 days, making it very suitable for special operations.

After all, the limitations of the small frogman propeller DPV are a bit large, which has led various countries to develop special equipment such as the wet frogman transport boat SDV, the dry deck shelter DDS, and the large dry frogman carrier ASDS.

"This is the dispatch of four dead soldiers!"

"Mr. Ellison, did you sleep well last night?"

"There's no rush. What's important now is to ensure that the opening ceremony of the museum goes smoothly. Later, I plan to expand the village protection team and add another company."

Wagner's instructors were completely crushed. It's hard to imagine that these people use the AK's ruler as a power regulator. The higher the number, the greater the power.

As long as you are willing to give each person $100 million, I don’t know how many people will rush to take the order. Sometimes human life is really worthless.

After putting on a handsome suit, Xia Yu shook his head and sighed after hearing Lao Ke's report.

"There are a lot of bad guys. If these four underwater explosive devices were installed on the St. Paul, I'm afraid I would go bankrupt."

The explosive device carried on a platform like the Mermaid-1M does not have too much explosive charge, but all four are arranged on one side of the ship. It is impossible to dry-sink the Sao Paulo directly, and there is no problem at all when it rolls at a large angle.

Yes, Xia Yu didn't have much hope of finding the target immediately. The other party sent out frogmen to work quietly, just because he didn't want to reveal his identity in case the operation failed and was followed.

The Mermaid-1M is a product before the category was subdivided, and the work it does is relatively complicated, and the ship in front of you seems to have been modified?
"Yes, the battery pack and propulsion motor have been modified. They are more powerful but are also easier to detect by sonar."

When the submarine landed, this was quickly proven. In addition to two underwater explosive devices, the submarine also had a one-click self-destruct function.

"Yes, boss!"

In the phone call that invited Yevgeny to attend the opening ceremony two days ago, he complained to Xia Yu that the quality of Qifei's soldiers was extremely poor.

But what the other party never expected was that Xia Yu had a pathological pursuit of safety and had arranged a back-up plan before the aircraft carrier museum officially opened.

"The faces of the deceased are no longer distinguishable. We have collected genetic samples from the two people, and the laboratory can roughly determine their ethnic origin."

"There are a lot of people recruited this time. The Anka Mechanized Infantry Brigade itself is short of manpower, so the quality of the soldiers may not be high. You should pay more attention to training."

The results obtained can assist the analysis. After all, dead soldiers can be bought with money these days, and many small countries with poor economies also have combat frogmen.

The opponent's move was not ruthless. He did not seek to lose many men, but only sought to destroy his business. However, as the old saying goes, destroying a person's wealth is like killing his parents.

Without universal compulsory education, it would be difficult to have qualified soldiers. Fortunately, Lao Ke has been cultivating low-quality soldiers for many years and has sufficient experience and patience.

Even if Xia Yu doesn't take his wife and children with him and returns to China, his career will suffer a heavy blow.

Xia Yu said with a sneer.

Climbing onto the boat where Xia Yu was, Tom took off his respirator and spoke to Xia Yu.

Lao Ke responded directly.

Then there were the terrorist attacks that were broadcast live around the world, and the impact was quite bad.

This is also the reason why Jihuo Defense never accepts infantry training contracts. Technical arms that have been through junior high school can at least communicate with each other, but cannon fodder infantry who have not graduated from elementary school are too difficult to communicate with.

Each of the two hunting submarines has an anti-frogman rocket launcher system. In other words, if it were not for fear of making too much noise, Xia Yu directly authorized the use of anti-submarine rocket depth bombs. That one is for dealing with big fish.

Genetic testing is definitely more accurate than the mustache rules for identifying Jews.

It will be dawn in more than two hours. Go back and check slowly. He will definitely find out the opponent hiding in the dark, whether it takes one year or two years.

Without the supply of high-quality veterans, Fire Defense will have to train itself from scratch. The chief instructor, Lao Ke, is very important.

"Boss, we have conducted preliminary underwater reconnaissance. This Mermaid-1M is suspected to be equipped with two underwater explosive devices, aiming to deal with our company's Sao Paulo. The reason for the explosion of the other submarine is probably due to the explosion above. The device was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade and exploded."

If Jihuo Defense is a listed company, the stock price will directly fall to the circuit breaker; even if it is not listed, the museum business will be abolished, which will affect the crackdown business and the mineral development business in various places.

It was just that he couldn't bear it after not sleeping all night. After drinking a double cup of concentrate, he followed his boss's motorcade back to the Sao Paulo and continued today's security work.

Xia Yu said to his subordinates.

When out in the field, one reinforced company is not enough, and one battalion expansion is too much. Two companies are just right.

Xia Yu ate soup dumplings one by one, asking Lao Ke to keep up the training.

Xiao Anka will graduate in the middle of next year. His brigade has already established a framework and is ready to wait for him to replace others and be promoted on the spot, so all the key members have signed long-term contracts.

The Old Man Mermaid is definitely outdated, but the pressure-resistant hull can be reused as long as it does not leak. Innovating on the old platform will definitely be better than the disposable semi-submersible boats welded by the drug lords in South America.

Xia Yu, who sat down to have breakfast, talked about his next arrangements.

It is his job to teach new recruits certain special warfare skills and beat them into soldiers needed for concentrated fire defense. It is also his job to directly participate in high-intensity combat. He likes this fulfilling life very much.

"Pull the submarine to the shore, get out the two bodies, dismantle the explosive devices and see if there are any clues."

Once you can't escape, the submarine can self-destruct if you press the button, and the people on board don't even need to prepare cyanide capsules.

Xia Yu asked Lao Larry, who was walking around on the deck in his nightgown.

"Very good, but did it rain last night? I thought I heard thunder?"

Old Larry asked Xia Yu.

A lot of soundproofing materials are used, and the more than 20 luxury suites on the St. Paul are very quiet, but the underwater explosions are still a bit noisy.

"There is thunder, and it happens often during the dry season, and even more frequently during the rainy season."

Xia Yu also took advantage of the situation and said.

If it were a naval gun fire on a hunting submarine, there would have to be a different explanation, such as an anti-terrorism exercise?
"I hate the rainy season in Afica. I hope your U-boat project is not in place during the rainy season, otherwise I may postpone it to experience it with the F-14." Old Larry said while scratching his chin.

He is very interested in the "attack from the bottom of the sea" project of concentrated fire defense, but he hates bad weather even more.

"As you wish, the news from Germany is that it has been postponed again. It may really take 20 years."

Xia Yu also said helplessly.

"Hahahaha, I know that the Germans today are not as reliable as they were 70 years ago."

Old Larry laughed.

His father is an Italian pilot, and his mother, like Abramovich, is a Russian Jew. With all the buffs added together, he can laugh at the Germans without mercy.

"But their diesel-electric submarines are still guaranteed. If you give me a World War II U-boat, I really wouldn't dare go in."

Rich people have the courage to take risks and cherish their lives. Old Larry dares to ride on an antique World War II machine, but he really doesn't dare to ride on an old World War II submarine.

"As for the fighter jet sales project you mentioned, except for the F-14, I don't have any fighter jets I want to buy. After all, this old gun won't be able to fly in another seven or eight years, but if you sell attack aircraft, you can still do it. Consider it."

Old Larry talked about Xia Yu's oral questionnaire last night again.

For such a big project as selling non-weaponized fighter jets to wealthy people, market research must be done, and Ellison is a very representative sample.

Now, the other party has given its own answer, which is that it only needs an attack aircraft with relatively low physical requirements, rather than a high-speed, high-mobility fighter.

"To be honest, I really want an A-10, but after all, I am getting older and my brain is not as flexible as when I was young. If I am not paired with a pilot, I will not get one even if I can fly it."

"So the Su-25 is not bad, especially if it is a sea frog that can take off and land on a carrier. I can fly it until I am 85 years old."

Old Larry said that the MiG-29 cannot fly in the future, and the same goes for the Su-25.

This guy had guessed Xia Yu's subsequent plan to operate Sea Frogfoot on the St. Paul.

None of them need to be genuine. By reducing the armor and using composite materials, the lightweight modification of the land-based Su-25 is not that difficult.

Would it be a good idea to modify a few more for sale?

but…

"Mr. Ellison, how much would you pay for a two-seat Warthog?"

Xia Yu took advantage of this opportunity to continue doing market research.

It is more troublesome to convert two-seater fighter jets and small World War II electric fans into two-seater aircraft, but subsonic attack opportunities such as the Su-25 and A-10 are relatively simple.

The Warthog also had an official two-seat version back then. The problem was that only one YA-10B all-weather two-seat experimental version was built and it was canceled after it was found that there was no demand for it.

But it also proves the feasibility of converting a single-seat subsonic attack aircraft into a two-seat one, which only requires rebuilding the front fuselage.

"If it's the only one, I'm willing to pay 5000 million U.S. dollars. Who doesn't want to own a flying GAU-8 Gatling cannon? But if it's not the only one, then you can only pay 2000 million U.S. dollars. If you can say If M7 Aerospace reopens the production line, I am willing to buy a new aircraft for 3000 million. "

Old Larry clicked his fingers and gave three prices.

The price of a commodity depends on its scarcity, which also determines how much premium he can accept.

However, such a two-seat A-10B is most likely modified from the old A-10A airframe. The Fairchild company that produced the Warthog had long since gone bankrupt and was acquired, and now belongs to the M7 Aerospace Company.

"Afika's most common attack aircraft is the Su-25, but its double-barreled cannon has too little ammunition and the price is too cheap. Replacing it with the A-10 should provide a more reasonable profit margin."

Xia Yu said with a sigh.

A second-hand Frogfoot can only be sold for 400 million US dollars, which is less expensive than a second-hand Old Hind. He can only earn more than 300 million.

But if he switches to an A-10B, after deducting the purchase price and modification costs, he can earn at least more than 1500 million.

This machine body alone is a profit difference of 5 times, not to mention the cost of artillery shells. What is the appropriate price for a batch of 1350 rounds of depleted uranium armor-piercing ammunition?

Xia Yu had this idea mainly because he saw that Magnesia's 3500 million depleted uranium armor-piercing bombs were about to be destroyed, and the A-10 would use brand-new tungsten carbide core armor-piercing bombs for the sake of environmental protection.

It’s funny. For the sake of environmental protection, depleted uranium is replaced with tungsten. What kind of abstract operation is this?
It would be better for you to cause less trouble and send less police around the world, but after complaining about the 3500 million depleted uranium armor-piercing bombs, Xia Yu saw business opportunities.

Destruction requires costs, and since it is made of depleted uranium, the cost may be more expensive than the original cost.

So what if there is a kind company willing to help Mr. Congress solve this problem for a nominal fee?
what?
Don't want to pay?

The same goes for selling a batch of stock A-10s at a low price.

In this way, the artillery shells and launching platforms are available, and Xia Yu can also release a promotional video for "A depleted uranium armor-piercing projectile that must be shot once in a lifetime" with the subtitle "One shot less shot".

At the end of the film, for every shell you fire, 10% of the proceeds will be donated to UNICEF, which sublimates the theme.

He knows how to market, but he will really donate the money he promised, not to mention the safety measures.

Whether the rumor that depleted uranium causes XX cancer in pilots is true or false, he will take action to dispel tourists' concerns.

As depleted uranium has already conclusively polluted the natural environment, the shooting range will be set up in the Sahara Desert, or an absolutely barren land in the desert, to minimize the pollution of depleted uranium to the earth.

"The Su-25 is common in Afika, but it is still far away from ordinary people like us. After hearing what you said, my biggest wish now is to own a Sea Frogfoot and a two-seater Warthog."

Old Larry followed.

He really wanted to buy it. After all, even if he refused to accept old age, he could not resist the objective laws of birth, aging, illness and death.

"Then I can only try my best. After all, I only have a relationship with the Navy of the United States. The relationship with the Army was almost used up after they sold me the Chinook. I have to think of other ways."

Xia Yu said pretending to be very difficult.

"3000 million. If you can get a two-seater Warthog before the end of 20, I am willing to pay 3000 million US dollars for it and a Sea Frogfoot."

Could Lao Larry not understand what Xia Yu meant? He took the initiative to add more emphasis.

"I will try my best."

A modified Sea Frogfoot costs almost 500 million, which means that the other party is willing to pay 10 million for the A-2500B. For an attack aircraft that can only lick the ground, this price is really good.

At least only the rich are willing to pay, and no country is willing to take over.
