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

Chapter 441: Get out alive, special request (monthly ticket requested!)
The price of thousands of casualties in learning this truth is a heavy one.

But the consequences of refusing to repent are more than just casualties. They may very well wipe out a generation of young people in the tribe.

We really can't stay in Kidar any longer, the sooner we evacuate, the better.

The problem is that the one with four wheels cannot compare to the one with wings. Without the cover of the earthen house and courtyard, the other party can clean up the people more efficiently.

"Then we will mobilize the civilians in the refugee camp. We don't need any weapons or equipment. We will blend in with the civilians and retreat to Tinkebatu."

Seeing that the leader had decided on the general direction, the deputy quickly offered advice.

The Muslims and government forces have no reason to stop civilians from evacuating Kidar, but they will set up checkpoints for identification.

Other organizations would certainly be reluctant to throw away their weapons and equipment, but the Azawad Coordination Movement has a variety of light weapons.

If the inspection is too strict, they will just throw away the fire sticks. What else can you rely on to identify them? The calluses on the palm of your hand?
Are you kidding? It's okay to be a little extreme when fighting extremist organizations; but when fighting separatist armed forces, there is a stabilization group supervising them. This is not evidence that can be brought to the table.

"You are right. Take 1000 people and evacuate tomorrow."

Taiquidda made the decision directly.

"No, Chief, you take your men and leave first tomorrow, and I will stay behind to cover your retreat."

The deputy directly disobeyed the order.

The death of a deputy like Lao Tai in Kidar would seriously affect the development of the Azawad Coordination Movement.

"I'm injured. I definitely won't be able to leave tomorrow. I need to recuperate before I can leave."

Seeing that the leader wanted to say something else, the deputy quickly stopped him from speaking.

"Then you must get out alive!"

Taiquidda's thousands of words were finally combined into one sentence. He knew that he could not be willful.

"Dong~dong~dong~~"

The sound of gunfire was still roaring outside, but the first wave of attack was coming to an end, and the ammunition of Old Luhu and Longbow Crossbow was running out.

Modern warfare is very dependent on the amount of ammunition delivered. Whether it is ordinary ammunition or precision-guided munitions, the more consumed, the better the effect.

Therefore, no matter how stingy the Chinese are, they dare not save on this part of the budget. They will supply what they have, and if they don’t have it, they will honestly accept the quote from Jiehuo Defense.

After all, Xia Yu is all about fairness in doing business, and missiles and rockets are cheaper than domestically made ones.

The Hellfire that Laomei sold to the hairy people was the same price as the internal purchase price of the magnesium army, but it was still too expensive.

The miser didn't say it openly, but his body was very honest. He used the concentrated fire defense to fire cheap missiles, and left the Hellfires in his own warehouse untouched.

As for its own Akerron, the ground version MMP was officially put into service last year to replace Milan and Javelin.

This air-launched version of the MLP is still under development. Buying the Hellfire is just like buying the Javelin before, just to cope with this awkward period of transition.

But when asked how long the embarrassment will last, it may take another 10 years before I can get into the Tiger style!
Limited by its size, China's military industry can produce something, but the problem is that the entire project cycle is ridiculously long. When the previous generation of equipment is retired, there is no seamless connection, and it often has to purchase foreign weapons to survive the gap.

This is no big deal for the Germans who don't fight, but it is a big problem for the Chinese.

The high prices of domestic weapons and equipment can also boost employment in the upstream and downstream industries in the country.

When buying foreign goods, the cheaper the better if the indicators are similar. However, the military-industrial complex of suspicious allies even slaughters their own people.

So you can only buy a little and keep it until it expires, and then use it in training and combat.

Before that, outsourcing with "Oriental" goods was the best option.

"Hey~~"

The longbow crossbow deer fired the last BLUE ARROW 7.

"Boom~~"

A suicide truck with bulletproof steel plates welded overnight was blown up into the sky on its way to attack the Haiguo convoy.

"Perhaps he should have waited until night to launch his attack?"

Flying Monkey said in the internal channel.

"We have to weld new trucks at night, and there are CH-4s patrolling in the air. What's the difference between day and night?"

The Hairy Army did not bring wheeled assault guns this time, and the VBCI's 25mm small water pipes really couldn't break the defense of this kind of suicide truck, but their mechanized infantry squad was also equipped with a javelin on each vehicle.

With the commissioning of the MMP, a large number of expired javelins were also put into use.

If Xia Yu were to say, it would be better to sell it to him for tens of euros each. The basic price is 20 dollars, plus a variety of movable and immobile target vehicles to choose from. Isn't this better than shooting at suicide trucks and armed pickup trucks?

Having said that, the old man from Lanxi Zhengbai Banner who doesn’t cheat the poor is still the originator of reaping the benefits from the rich!
It would be a waste to just destroy a luxury item in the anti-tank world like the Javelin. The top attack mode is so spectacular, especially at night.

"咻~咻~咻~~"

After clearing the last few rockets, Xia Yu took the lead in evacuating the battlefield.

The Cuckoo crew still has one more flight to go. As the boss, his work on the battlefield is done today, and the battle in the business world has just begun.

When they returned to the village camp, Xia Yu had just got off the plane and Thompson, who had been left alone for the whole morning, hurried to greet him.

"Mr. Sherlock, you have been leading by example all the time. It's really hard work!"

Foreigners also know how to flatter and beat around the bush, but this is only true for the elite. Rednecks and lower-class black people speak very directly.

Thompson is obviously an elite with a technical background, but he talks nonsense.

"I love being with my guys and helping to keep the peace in the region."

Xia Yu said selectively.

"But the various businesses squeezed my energy for combat. For example, in order to entertain you, I canceled the afternoon attack, so my two employees had to go alone."

Following Xia Yu's gaze, Thompson looked at Lao Han and the other man.

Well, are there so many Asians who can drive a doe?

Looking at the Cuckoo crew showing their big white teeth because of the boss's performance, Lao Tang who also smiled back couldn't help but think.

In other words, there are not only those who can drive the Hind, but also those who can cook, drive the Weasel, T-64B1M and T-80U. The only way to put together such a lineup is to focus on defense.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's go have lunch first. It's almost 1 o'clock."

Xia Yu said this and took the other person to dinner.

Knowing that guests were coming, Mr. Wu specially added an extra cold dish.

Thompson ate a lot of Chinese and Japanese food during the vacation. He had no problem using chopsticks and spoke highly of the food quality in the Fire Defense Battlefield.

But these were just the pleasantries before getting down to business. After dinner, the company's second-in-command barista, Dorothea, brought two cups of Kenniya's hand-brewed AA, which was also a gift Justin brought when the aircraft carrier museum opened.

Xia Yu also took the opportunity of this meeting to talk to the other party about the Jumeria Youth Team.

The result is that the timing is not yet ripe. These guys suffered losses in Kenni Ya before, and in the past two years they have shifted their focus back to the country and have taken over a lot of territory.

Of course, some attacks were launched during this period, but they were all repelled by 15 Weasel S3 vehicles of the border troops equipped with active defense systems.

This is the benefit of spending money on equipment and high-quality soldiers. Regardless of the level of attack, the defense is definitely more than enough. Therefore, there is only one situation at this stage where Ken Niya is willing to pay for the fight against the Jumali Youth Team, that is, the other side invested resources to severely damage them.

Heavy infantry fighting vehicles are not omnipotent. The border troops can intercept the youth team on the line bordering Jumali, but they cannot stop them from crossing the border through Xisai.

Because of this, it is still possible to do something if you want to, you just have to put in more effort.

So is the Jamali youth team willing to put in all this effort?

Xia Yu felt that they were willing to do so. After integrating the territory, wouldn't their attention shift to overseas?
If the border troops can't do anything about it, then we'll find another way. In any case, Kenniya must be defeated. It's just a matter of time.

The concentrated fire defense can wait for two or three years. After all, mountain warfare is a test of the strength of a PMC company, and Xia Yu still needs to gather some more equipment.

At this moment, he thought Thompson was an NPC who was giving away equipment, but he also had to exchange it with what the other party wanted.

"I had ordered these 21 F-5 fighter jets from His Majesty the King a long time ago. Although it was a business transaction, it also witnessed our friendship."

Xia Yu started to add money to the price. The import price from New York was 100 million US dollars per plane, and the old king rounded it down to 2000 million, including shipping to his home.

The public price without any negotiation should be 3000 million excluding shipping, because the condition of this batch of Tiger II is only slightly worse than the Swiss version!

If the people of Magnesium want it, they will have to use equipment worth about 5000 million US dollars to offset it!
This is the bottom line of the price that Xia Yu can accept. Otherwise, he could easily convert the single-seat into a target aircraft and sell the two-seat second-hand for 70 or 80 million yuan.

Not to mention the accompanying value-added services such as ammunition consumption, logistical maintenance, and long-term hosting.

If you calculate carefully, he can easily earn 5 million. If the Chinese people are not willing to bleed heavily, why should they sell this batch of F-s to the other party?

"We, the Tactical Air Support Company, are willing to pay a premium for this precious friendship, Mr. Sherlock. Please also tell us what your company needs."

Thompson took a deep breath and expressed Tac Air's position.

He needs a price before he can bargain!

"Oh? You can get the army's equipment too?"

Xia Yu asked the other party.

In the morning, he saw that it was the Black Hawk from the Nizhir Forward Base that brought Thompson and his team to Kidar, so he wanted to confirm it.

"Of course, whether it's an M1A1 or a Bradley, as long as it's needed for concentrated fire defense, it can be delivered to Afika in as little as a month."

This guy is good at talking, except that he never mentions M1A2 and Stryker. But what does Xia Yu want these industrial wastes for?
"Our company doesn't need any of these, but can you get M777?"

Xia Yu did not expose the other party, but asked directly about the first target of the day - the M777 ultra-light howitzer, which is also a 155mm howitzer that can be lifted by a heavy transport aircraft.

Our hometown, which is also very good at titanium alloys, also came up with a competing product, the AH-4, but the product was so good that the production capacity was fully utilized.

Party A has lined up all the way from Central Asia to the Middle East, and even across the ocean to North Africa, saying that it will take 20 years before the production line can be expanded and the production capacity can be released.

Of course, it is not impossible to squeeze one out of the customer's order, but Xia Yu said there is no rush.

Don't be too hasty to purchase goods at cost price. Party A pays more than 500 million for each door. It is right to give the limited production capacity to high-net-worth customers.

And one gun might not be enough, at least three guns are needed to form a battery, right?

When the production capacity is expanded, the volume of concentrated fire defense will be enough to support a dedicated artillery division, instead of using multiple rocket launchers as it does now, or borrowing artillery and equipment from Busa.

Before forming this artillery platoon, they can first use an M777 as a transition and train a professional artillery squad.

Besides, Xia Yu couldn't get the magnesium-produced Excalibur, nor could he afford it, but he could get as many GP series as he wanted.

Not to mention the GPS/INS shells that don't require laser irradiation guidance, equipped with millimeter wave and other detection systems and self-forging warheads, terminal-sensitive shells that can hit moving targets, and rocket-glide extended-range shells that can hit targets hundreds of kilometers away...

Whenever there is a chance, Xia Yu would like to try it. He can also collect data and intelligence from actual combat and better evaluate various ammunition.

"Yes, but there are no new ones."

Thompson said quickly.

It’s just M777, except there’s no new stock, just tell me how many you want!

"If you don't have any, then don't have any. Just one will do."

Xia Yu raised the index finger of his right hand and said.

The barrel of this thing only has a firing life of 2500 fully loaded rounds. A second-hand one might have about 1000 rounds left?

Because it is not a mode with assisted walking like TRF1, the system cannot be maintained, but the big head is definitely enough to fire laser-guided artillery shells.

It was destroyed and it happened to be a good opportunity to enter the Jihuo Defense Company Museum. This museum, which has not been built yet, has already reserved many exhibition booths. Lao Mei's M777 will definitely occupy a place.

Oh, I was wrong, it’s from Ying country.

"Just need one? Just one, and it can be delivered in half a month at the earliest."

Thompson took out a notebook and spoke as he took notes.

Because it wasn't any sensitive equipment, he could use his connections to ship it first and complete the formalities later, and he could find a C-130J that was going the same way, so he didn't even have to pay for the shipping.

The world's top military budget was built up bit by bit, but it seems not bad?

"anything else?"

After writing a few strokes, Lao Tang continued to ask.

"130 sets of AC-4H fire control disassembly parts."

When Thompson heard Xia Yu's rare request, his hand paused while recording.

"What do you want this for?"

"Of course, to develop the museum's gunship business, and by the way, sell a few more modified AC-160s."

Xia Yu said very directly.

It is not difficult to add artillery to a transport plane, but it is difficult to make the artillery accurate.

The fire control system is the core of the gunship. It is expensive to develop a matching fire control system just for the demand of a few aircraft. The most cost-effective way is to use the disassembled parts of the old gunship.

Anyway, their AC-130Js are already in service, and all the old AC-130Hs have been thrown into the aircraft graveyard in the desert.

Without the fuselage and artillery, it is not difficult to build 4 fire control systems.

"Don't tell me you can't do it. You're a major general in the Air Force."

Xia Yu looked at Thompson with suspicion.

"Of course I can help, even though I'm a former Air Force major general."

Lao Tang lowered his head again and started writing in the notebook.

Compared with his previous identity, he still prefers his current position as CEO of PMC.

"But your request is a bit special. It will take some time, at least a quarter to deliver to Afika."

Thompson said after confirming the amount of work and each link.
