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

Chapter 443 New Contract, Land in Exchange for Goods (asking for monthly pass!)

As a cheating player, Xia Yu is not afraid of going out alone, but this time he has to bring his wife and children with him, so safety is a very important issue.

The combination of assaulter + precision shooter + machine gunner is completely sufficient to meet daily security needs. If there are more people, one vehicle will not be able to accommodate them, but the Fisher can still squeeze in.

After several hours of hard work, the sky gradually brightened and the situation in the refugee camp was completely understood.

A total of nearly 10,000 civilians escaped by car or on foot. The huge number made it impossible for drones to track them, but their general direction was towards Tingkebatu.

If the remaining stragglers of the Coordination of Azawad Movement want to escape again, they may go back to the territory of Niger and Algiria.

But Xia Yu will not give them this opportunity.

His direction was quickly reached through negotiations with the Stabilization Mission, and the blue-helmeted soldiers began to cooperate in the transfer of the remaining thousands of refugees and settled them in the military barracks in the village camp.

It is not ruled out that there are armed elements mixed in with the refugees, but without guns and ammunition, these guys are like beasts without fangs and cannot cause any big waves.

The only thing to pay attention to is the trapped beasts in the city whose retreat routes have been cut off, and they have only one way out: a fight to the death with their opponents.

Yes, in this case, less extreme separatist armed groups will also evolve into the same as extremist organizations.

In the dim tunnel, many lightly injured militants began to tie MON50 directional anti-personnel mines on their bodies.

This Mao version of the broadsword is loaded with 700 grams of explosives, combined with 540 steel balls or 485 fragments, and its killing range and effect are quite terrifying.

Even if you stand on the back side of "facing the enemy this way", you will definitely die. It is not like in the movies where a bulletproof shield can protect you from injury.

So they are all death warriors, and they are all mentally prepared to drag others down with them.

Not for pearls, but for their country of Azawa, for the future of the Tuareg people.

People have to have dreams. Although these people are indeed a bit whimsical, even if this group of desert bandits has strong fists and actually controls the desert, the United Nations will not recognize this Azawa Germany. Otherwise, if they follow suit, the whole earth will be in chaos.

However, the fact is that the so-called colonel mercenaries are just like that. They rely on weapons and equipment to gain certain advantages, but after the concentrated fire defense enters the field, they are completely suppressed by more powerful armed equipment.

They have all fought against the authentic Ace Ace in Syria. The explosives tied to those crazy guys weighed kilograms. Who could they scare with a directional mine?

"咻~咻~咻~~"

The crew of the Cinderella fired four S-4BM penetrating bombs at the earthen house below in one breath. All the armed pickup trucks had run away, and there were no targets that needed precision strikes. The four heavy-duty Pylon racks of the Longbow Crossbow were all equipped with B-8V8A rocket pods and fired uncontrolled rockets together with the Old Deer Tiger.

"Boom~boom~boom~~"

The dull explosions continued until the last one exceeded the standard.

This is a sacrificial explosion. Anyway, after this, there won't be a single fish that can escape in the tunnel.

The same operation was performed by several digital teams advancing on the ground.

What are prisoners? Aren’t they all armed elements who stubbornly resisted and refused to surrender?
When they found a tunnel, they would spray a can of napalm into it, then throw three or five thermobaric grenades in, and then clear the next one.

With more than 1000 people missing, the concentrated fire defense and the advancement of the hairy people were much faster, and they also cleared out several underground arsenals.

Because they are protected by wooden crates and sealed boxes, these neatly stacked munitions are not as easily exploded as scattered parts placed everywhere.

There were large quantities of rifle and machine gun bullets, as well as various types of mortar shells piled to the top, and anti-tank and anti-personnel mines that were dizzying in number.

The quality is pretty good, but the age is a little old. After all, the colonel is in elementary school now, and he can't ask for too much from the goods that were made before the millennium.

The two families each got half of the spoils. Although the government forces did not get any, they were eventually sold to them at a low price.

During this process, the Maris actually took a fancy to the BTR-82S with concentrated firepower defense.

In other words, they can afford this type of wheeled infantry fighting vehicle converted from an armored personnel carrier. They are not like Busa who can form an elite force like the Anka Armored Infantry Battalion with just a little effort.

There is not a single tank in the entire army. Even if they are given a Weasel A3, they cannot provide adequate protection. In addition to armed pickup trucks and light armored vehicles, thin-skinned large eight-wheelers are the most suitable choice.

The government forces, who saw this clearly, have been paying close attention to the movements of the village defense team. After all, they dare not even think about the big lynx, the little bobcat, the old weasel, etc.

结果当然很满意，更换Rh202机炮的BTR-82S拥有更强的火力，口径是比用2A72机炮的BTR-82A小了一圈，可不还有DM63嗑药钢针嘛。

The most crucial thing is that its ammunition capacity is several times that of the BTR-82A. For the Afika, which has poor logistical supply, a large amount of ammunition is very important. A base of 300 rounds is simply not enough.

This type of vehicle can only be deployed in second-line troops in concentrated fire defense, but in Mary it is the undisputed main force and can be mechanized with the least budget.

As for the thin skin, those light armored vehicles can be pierced by RPG without making a sound, and the price is not that cheap, not to mention the lack of firepower.

"Mr. Sherlock, can the price be cheaper? We really need this wheeled infantry fighting vehicle!"

The black colonel in charge of the government army command spoke earnestly to Xia Yu.

Jihuo Defense's price for the BTR-82S is $150 million, which is an inflated price, so different discounts will be given based on the purchase quantity.

比如10辆以下原价，10至20辆会降到140万，21至50辆要130万，50辆以上统统120万。

The old car body is matched with an old cannon. In fact, Xia Yu only purchased a second-hand car body and the printing cost of the old cannon, so he has a profit margin of nearly 100 million.

"Colonel Goita, 125 million is a very suitable number. Only if you buy more than 50 cars can I give you a discount of 120 million dollars."

The other party planned to order 30 BTR-82S vehicles, and Xia Yu offered a discount of 130 on the basis of 5 million, so the price really could not be lowered any further.

"But we can have other payment methods besides cash."

"In what way?"

Xia Yu's words gave Goita hope.

"Mari will not remain in chaos forever. The economy of the Sahel region will eventually recover. Jihuo Defense is willing to make some investments here first and make some small contributions to your people."

The Afika War Museum in Kongluga is actually flawed. It only has tropical maps, not the most classic desert gray.

Therefore, Xia Yu thinks it is more appropriate to set up the new Cold War branch directly in the Sahara Desert. With the endless sea of ​​sand behind it, projects such as "Dreaming of World War II: The Past of the Philippine Legion" can be developed in the future.

Except for a certain weasel, who wouldn’t want to COS a desert fox that paints with sand tables and wins battles thousands of miles away?
Aljilia, Libya and Sigiriya in northern Philippines are not suitable for opening Cold War branches. Only the war-torn Sahel region is a good choice.

As for whether it is dangerous or not, there is a whole battalion of people, including the village protection team and staff, stationed here, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.

"You are going to build a branch library in Kidar?"

"Yes, this is the only city with an airport on the border of the three countries. I need to operate our attack aircraft and gunships here." Xia Yu said affirmatively.

Both the C-130 and C-160 platforms can take off and land in the field, and the A-10 with the engine on its back can also take off and land in the field on unpaved roads, but it's okay to do it temporarily, as doing so in the long term will cause problems.

By basing the museum's fleet at Kidar Airport, the company's red falcons will have a foothold in the Sahel region.

After all, the F-16 does not have the ability to take off and land in the field, and the MiG-29UBK, which has lost its auxiliary air intake, has also become more delicate and must have a proper airport runway.

The field airport in Panfeilao can only transport supplies by transport planes, so Kidal Airport will be the most important stronghold for concentrated fire defense outside Pointe Noire Airport.

"This is great. With the Focused Fire Defense in Kidar, the Coordination of Azawad will never come back. How can this be worth the cost of the BTR-82S? We are clearly getting a bargain."

Colonel Goita has a vision. When Xia Yu heard him say this, he knew that he can still make progress.

"Colonel, don't rush to refuse. You will definitely have to pay for the equipment, but it should be spent on renovating and expanding Kidar Airport and building Kidar City. I need your country to develop the war-torn northern region."

Xia Yu expressed his thoughts.

This is also a necessary advance investment in the construction of the Cold War branch. Important materials can be transported by air, but relatively cheap daily necessities are more cost-effective to transport by land.

But in order to transport the goods to Kidar, the support of government forces is indispensable.

"And it's impossible to build a branch library in an airport. I need a large piece of land."

Xia Yu added.

Compared to the boundless Sahara Desert, the space for the tank museum to roam around is too small, and concentrated fire defense must have a training ground like the Grassland Class 5.

"Land in the desert is not valuable. You can mark off as much land as you want."

Goita said, gesturing with his hands open.

You can easily demarcate dozens or hundreds of hectares.

"By the way, Colonel, are you familiar with Nizhier? I am willing to exchange five BTR-5S for a piece of their wasteland to open a hazardous materials harmless destruction plant."

Xia Yu suddenly talked about Nirir.

He was looking for an ideal shooting range for the warthog.

It’s a little-known fact that the Sahara winds can blow sand across the Atlantic Ocean to the Amazon rainforest in South America.

Likewise, the depleted uranium dust produced by the A-10 can be blown to the lungs of the earth thousands of miles away.

For the sake of environmental protection and to avoid subsequent troubles, it is not allowed to shoot randomly in deserted places. Xia Yu must find a suitable place as a shooting range.

Nizhir, where the Tibetans obtained large amounts of uranium but never controlled the pollution, came into his sight.

There are many abandoned mines in the country after uranium was extracted, and several of them are located in the subtropical high-pressure calm belt, which perfectly meets Xia Yu's requirements.

Depleted uranium is a by-product of extracting U-235 from metallic uranium. Its main component is U-238 with low levels of radioactivity. Now, dust returns to dust, ashes return to where it came from.

These five BTR-5Ss are used as the money to buy the abandoned mines and also as the cost of relocating nearby residents. The Gallic chickens are doing nothing, so he, the weasel, still has to have some face.

What about 5 tanks? Renmali wants 30!

Xia Yu's idea is to arouse the other party's addiction, and then repurchase in large quantities if the effect is good.

Like Mali, the Niger Army had no tanks, and its armored units used only four-wheel and six-wheel light armored vehicles discarded by the Mao Army.

This means there is a strong demand for replacement equipment. It doesn't matter if we can't afford tracks. We have to keep up with the trend and use big eight-wheelers, right?

Xia Yu felt that he would have to find at least 100 BTR-80 vehicle bodies when he went to Russia this time.

In addition to customers, Jihuo Defense also needs to use it itself. The village protection team needs to expand, and it will also develop new mines in the future, so there is a great demand for BTR-82S.

If he puts in a little more at a time, it can last for several years. Up to 1 million US dollars have been prepared in his account. If it is not enough, he can withdraw tens of millions more from several places.

"Familiar, very familiar. Five of these wheeled infantry fighting vehicles can be bought from mines that are still in production, not to mention abandoned mines."

Goita felt sorry for Xia Yu, but the cost of manufacturing a BTR-82S was just a fraction of the selling price, and the total cost of five vehicles was just over 5 million US dollars. It was definitely a profit to achieve so many goals with such little money.

"It's OK to discard them. It's not good to waste resources. But the uranium mines in the hands of the people of the country..."

Having said this, Xia Yu lengthened his tone.

Once they withdraw from the Sahel region, it wouldn't be too late for Jihuo Defense, which has extensive experience in uranium mining, to take over?
Yes, let’s first locate the Cold War branch in the Sahel region, so that it can better radiate to the surrounding areas later.

"They were too greedy. They took away the minerals but left behind the pollution and were unwilling to share the profits. I am glad that Mali does not have as rich uranium resources as Nizhier."

Goita said that it was enough for them to have the gold mine. Although the price of gold had not risen yet, it was better than having someone sucking their blood while they were lying on the ground.

"Yes, people prefer gold mines to uranium mines. I would still prefer uranium mines and oil and gas."

Because it can only go in and not out, gold in Xiayu can only be used as a decoration for the bunker, and its priority is not as high as yellowcake and oil and natural gas.

"Oil is also a good thing. The Nizhiliya people are rich because of oil and gas resources. They can buy those expensive equipment, unlike us who can't even afford tanks."

Lao Ge couldn't help but sigh.

"Mari will eventually become rich."

"Yes, starting from the Cold War branch that Mr. Sherlock invested in building!"

After talking till here, the Colonel said goodbye and left. He had to fly back to Bakoma in person to inform his superiors about Xia Yu's ideas and requests.

Kidar has cleared the northern city area, and the first phase of the battle is nearing its end. His absence will not affect the government soldiers' cooperation with friendly forces.

Similarly, Xia Yu, who had won the order from Mali, was also preparing to return home.

He set off as soon as he finished discussing the infantry fighting vehicles-for-waste-ore project with Nizhir. He hadn't seen his wife and children in person for more than a quarter and he missed them very much, as well as his parents.

However, he did not bring the old couple with him on the trip to Nairobi, as it would not be a good idea for them to see their son buying arms by tons.
