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

Chapter 425: Business comes to your door, perfect ending (please vote for me!)

"Thank you, thank you, Sherlock!"

Paul clapped his hands and thanked Xia Yu.

"Classic equipment should not disappear in the long river of history, with only sporadic written records. They should exist in the world in physical form, so that people can truly feel the glory of military weapons of that era. I just did what I should do. "

Xia Yu said very confidently.

"That's true, but you also did something that I couldn't do with my money."

While Paul was speaking, the Allen, which re-aligned itself with the flight deck of the USS St. Paul after turning, officially landed, and the landing hook installed later caught the arresting cable.

"Although this is a Chinese aircraft carrier, it still makes up for the regrets of the Ju-87C."

A piece of trivia that many people don’t know. Stuka also developed a carrier-based version with foldable wings. However, with the demise of the Graf Zeppelin, the Ju-87C lost the opportunity to board the ship forever.

It's a pity that Santoku scuttled the Graf Zeppelin before he died. If the ship was in a sinking state, Xia Yu might still be able to think of a solution.

This was clearly sunk by various torpedoes and naval guns, and the specific location was unclear.

It was right for a godson to visit his godfather's grave, but he didn't expect Paul to be so fashionable.

I have a cheap Mirage 2000 here, do you want it?
I'll bring it to you if you want it.

The problem is that only two of the remaining 11 airworthy fighter jets have been sold for several years, and the remaining 9 are about to be sold. But today I will buy an F-5 Tiger II, and tomorrow I will buy a MiG- 21 Yuwo’s Xiayu allowed Basi people to see a turning point.

"Mr. Minister, I was able to promote the Sao Paulo project mainly because of the particularity of my industry, coupled with Afika's relatively loose policies. Ticket revenue alone cannot fill this bottomless pit."

When the Basi Air Force was preparing to retire the Mirage IIIEBR/DBR, due to historical inertia, it took a fancy to the Mirage 2000-BR developed by the Chinese people based on the Mirage 9-2000.

"Of course, that's no problem. I'll let that boy Shade burn it for you when the time comes."

After hearing what Xia Yu said, Fernando also expressed the same feeling.

Therefore, just like the Navy purchased the Yingguo helicopter carrier after decommissioning the Sao Paulo, the Air Force no longer considered the Yingguo fighter jets and directly purchased the Ruijin Gripen NG.

"Of course I'm interested, but as you know, Mr. Minister, these fighter jets I buy are converted into unmanned target drones for customers to shoot down. If the price is too expensive, our profits..."

He said solemnly to Paul.

"By the way, I heard that Mr. Sherlock is purchasing various fighter jets around the world. I wonder if you are interested in the Mirage 2000?"

"Mr. Sherlock, thank you for bringing the St. Paul back to life. Whether it was dismantled or sunk as a target ship, it has made the citizens who paid taxes feel heavy. Operating it in another way may be the best destination for it."

"50, only 50 US dollars, we will be responsible for delivering 9 Mirage 2000-B/C to Point Noire Port."

"Yes, I will continue to collect Stuka airframes for repair and try to reproduce the real Ju-87C."

Among the four World War II aircraft carriers he was buried with, a place had to be left for the Graf Zeppelin.

Xia Yu agreed directly.

However, the Qianlian Alliance picked it up again and became a target ship for the study of "How to Use Fighters and Warships to Sink an Aircraft Carrier", and its final whereabouts were unknown.

Not counting the cost of missiles, spare parts, and personnel training, the total price of this batch of Mirage 2000-B/C is US$7200 million, which is equivalent to a unit price of 600 million, which is a bargain.

After talking so much, Lao Fei finally talked about another purpose of his trip, which was to sell fighter jets to Xia Yu.

And now the aircraft carrier is officially loading passengers!
Tourists who have reserved tickets are given priority to board the ship. Those who buy tickets on-site have a long queue, and it may take two or three hours before they can board the aircraft carrier.

Xia Yu wanted to take over Paul's deep-sea exploration team because of this consideration. If there was no address that could be found in the archives, he would have to look for a needle in a haystack and spend decades searching all the sea areas.

He thought it was cool, and after finding professionals, he made a lot of models of his collection, preparing to burn them all on that day.

However, Kuoguo's fighter jets are not cheap, and the Brazilian Air Force, which could not afford them, chose to buy 12 second-hand old-model Mirage 2000s for transition.

The bustling scene made Paul feel a little low on energy. Xia Yu quickly asked his assistant to take him to the VIP lounge on the St. Paul.

"Then it's agreed, I have to find a place to rest, and you can just go and do your thing."

After Paul determined that he would become Little Youzi's godfather, he learned a lot about traditional Chinese culture, as well as the funeral customs of burning paper money and making various paper sacrifices.

The problem is that after I got it, I realized how many pitfalls this thing had. After flying for an hour, I wanted to maintain it all day long. The price of wearing parts was also expensive, which was as troublesome as the St. Paul.

"You're right, it's eating up our budget like a bottomless pit, and we can't get the world's richest people to pay for it."

A total of two prototypes of this thing were built that year, and later they were all modified into Ju-87Bs. The real ones definitely did not survive and were preserved. Reproduction is the only way.

Fernando quoted directly.

Xia Yu, who was still on the beach, started chatting with Basi's Minister of Defense.

This batch of Mirage 2000-B/C only served for 5 years before they were all retired. However, they spent 2 million US dollars before and after, but they couldn’t get rid of them. They could still get some money back by selling them to third hands.

After all, they were once BRICS countries. It is impossible for the active aircraft carriers to park at the port and charge tickets like the people of the Han Dynasty. Retiring them directly is the best choice. After all, even if they are converted to private operations, they will not be able to handle so many types of carrier-based aircraft.

However, Xia Yu likes this kind of fighter jet. It only takes 10 working hours to put it back into the sky, and the cost saved is equivalent to 10 dollars per working hour.

"Sherlock, I'm both happy and sorry right now. I regret that I can't see this scene. I just hope that you can make two small models and burn them for me."

Fernando also expressed his gratitude to Xia Yu.

Basi's nine Mirage 9-B/Cs are said to be airworthy, but they have been in the hangar for almost five years. It is feared that each of them will have to spend two 2000 yuan to restore them to an airworthy condition.

This is not a self-destruction, cutting off the main artery, but the current market situation is that they are only worth this price.

Don’t worry today, or for the next week, the opening hours have been extended to 9 pm, and admissions will be closed until 7 pm, ensuring that everyone has 2 hours of effective visiting time.

It's a bit like the Audi S8 that costs 8 yuan or the Porsche Cayenne that costs over 10 yuan. The fault codes can be turned over for several pages, and the price of repairing the car is more expensive than buying the car.

In the end, it was converted into an unmanned target drone and sold to those rich people, at a price of three to five million yuan?
After all, this is a luxury fighter aircraft from the country of Lao. If you add the Super 530 and Magic II, it won't cost you seven or eight million dollars.

Like Ha Yuanzhen, he knows what it is like to drive a Mirage-2000, but he has never tried shooting down a Mirage-2000.

So why not buy a squadron of 4 planes and shoot them down?

"So it's a deal?"

Xiayu did not bargain. After all, they were also responsible for door-to-door delivery. Even with the wings removed, the nine Mirage-9s could not be loaded on a 2000-ton cargo ship. They had to be replaced by a larger cargo ship.

Today's shipping costs are rising year by year. If he didn't have a better plan, he would really have bought a high-speed cargo ship and prepared to operate it himself.

"make a deal!"

After getting rid of a burden, Fernando felt a lot more relaxed, even though they still wasted a lot of budget. What should I say, don't cry over spilled milk and face your future life optimistically.

South Americans know how to be optimistic, otherwise they cannot keep wasting military expenditures like this. If Xia Yu is given 2 million US dollars, he can build a fleet of 20 fighting falcons, but there is no need, right? At least Afika will be useless. Affordable Party A.

In fact, two red Fighting Falcons are enough for Jihuo Defense Operations, and they can even take care of both civilian escort and military strike operations.

Of course, in the future, the number of pilots can be increased from 2 to 4, so that the aircraft can be used without rest.

"It's almost noon, Mr. Minister, let's board the ship and get ready for dinner!"

After discussing the business, Xia Yu sent out an invitation.

Ordinary tourists have to queue up to buy meal tickets to eat in the ship's restaurant, but all VIPs who receive invitations can enjoy a sumptuous lunch for free.

It is difficult to arrange the carrier-based aircraft experience project. All sorties have been booked, and only the anti-aircraft guns can still fire a few rounds.

"Dong~dong~dong~~"

Everyone showed great interest in the Germans' most representative anti-aircraft gun during World War II.

尤其是使用它们对天上的F-4K、F-4J、米格-29UBK射击的时候，双88mm和双128mm防空炮的炮弹追逐着它们开出一朵朵黑灰色的“黑玫瑰”，却怎么也命中不了目标。

Flying outside the set range, it is naturally impossible to shoot down these "living targets", but air defense and air defense, nine out of ten defenses, it doesn't matter if you can't hit, the important thing is to participate.

If you want to enjoy the thrill of shooting down, Fire Defense provides free piston propeller target drones. If the quantity is small, you can also choose to purchase it yourself.

Brother Fu, who had not booked a carrier-based aircraft sortie, settled for the next best thing. He bought several target drones and had a great time shooting them.

Those tourists who had reserved a carrier-based aircraft on the first day were even more lucky. An F-4K with four gun pods mounted on it began to dive from a high altitude.

There is a large cargo ship floating on the sea that has only been dismantled inside and has a relatively complete outer hull. The dense bullet holes on it indicate that it is a target ship.

"shooting!"

Upon hearing the command from the pilot in the back seat, the tourist in the front seat immediately pressed the launch button.

"Du~ka~la~~"

The four pods under the wings opened fire at the same time, firing countless 4mm shells.

The numbers displayed on the shell counter jumped rapidly, and the tourists, whose ears were filled with the roar of the aircraft cannons, could not hear the sounds of "-$100×4", "-$100×4"...

It wasn't until the third round of dive shooting that he realized that he had fired $3 worth of shells when all the ammunition in the pods had returned to zero.

"Well done, Lieutenant Jim!"

The pilot in the back seat praised the customer as he was trained to do.

"We did not completely sink this fragile merchant ship, but we also severely damaged and paralyzed it. Let our friendly forces take over the rest!"

As soon as he finished saying this, he controlled the F-4K to turn around and give up the attacking airspace, and a MiG-29UBK that followed successfully filled the position.

Different from the old ghost that is full of cannon pods, in addition to the built-in cannon, this red Fulcrum's nine pylons are also filled with multiple rocket nests and single large-caliber uncontrolled rockets.

As an ordinary family of a rich and aristocratic family, it doesn’t matter if we can’t afford missiles, but why can’t we afford rockets?
Fill up all the racks with S-13 and S-24, I want to have a good fight!
"shooting!"

"咻~咻~咻~~"

Diving towards the scarred cargo ship, the MiG-29UBK fired rockets one after another at close range.

"Boom~boom~boom~~"

The explosion's fire light mixed with gunpowder smoke, which was more comforting than eating a big bite of iced watermelon in the summer.

There is only one level of aircraft cannon, and for tourists who don’t have enough budget, rockets are the best substitute for missiles. The thicker ones cost 30 to yuan, and the thinner ones cost several thousand, and only cost yuan or so if they are fully equipped with pylons.

Of course, such a classic aircraft gun as the GSh-301 cannot be forgotten.

During the second round of dive shooting, he cleared another 150 rounds of 30mm shells.

"Boom~~"

The MiG-29UBK turned on its afterburner and returned, leaving the target ship riddled with holes to receive the next high-profile passenger.

Based on the ammunition consumption of 8 jet fighters and more than 10 World War II electric fans, Xiayu can also start a subject of how many conventional ammunition can sink a cargo ship.

After sinking, there is still No. 2 cruise ship in preparation. Because it has a multi-deck structure, this thing is more difficult to hit than the freighter.

Different from the flight direction of Fulcrum Squadron and Phantom Squadron, the Stuka and Sea Hurricane that took off again flew inland.

The shipboard electric fan and the second phase of the project share a shooting range. After all, the torpedo project has not yet been launched!
Using a cannon bird to hit tanks, and a B-12.7 with a 25mm heavy machine gun barrel inserted into the nose to sweep scrapped vehicles is probably a beautiful thing, or who made them not effective in strafing cargo ships?
Time passed little by little in the business, until the sun sank below the horizon and the sky turned completely dark.

It is already 8: in the evening. After the last carrier-based aircraft group took off with passengers, the tourists who left the St. Paul gathered on the beach to wait for the final curtain call.

The Phantom Squadron and the Fulcrum Squadron, which had poured out their ammunition one after another, re-aligned themselves and followed the two Super Etendards towards the St. Paul.

"Boom~~"

Amid the roar of the engines, one squadron after another dragged colorful fireworks and flew over the aircraft carrier.

"What a beautiful fireworks show. That's all for the general's military parade!"

Seeing this scene, someone in the crowd shouted.

"The general does not have an aircraft carrier, but there are a little more than the number of MiG-29s."

Another voice shouted.

“The curtain call performance alone is worth the ticket price, and it’s worth our special trip to Afika.”

This is satisfying, but there are also situations where I feel angry but relieved at the same time.

"I didn't even buy a ticket, but luckily there was a free performance."

Xiayu is very sincere and does not let unlucky tourists leave empty-handed, but also makes them willing to come back tomorrow.

As the carrier-based aircraft landed on the flight deck of the USS St. Paul one by one, the aircraft carrier museum also officially closed, ending the first day of business with a perfect ending.

Xia Yu and Lao Yefu, who had just eaten at this moment, were changing glasses of wine in the restaurant, while the maintenance team had just started their day's work.
