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

Chapter 458: 2.4 billion euros, unusual movement in North Philippines (asking for monthly tickets!)

【Project: T-64AK】

[Estimated remaining maintenance hours: 0.5]

At Noire Harbor, seeing that the command-type T-2 in garage No. 64 only had half an hour left to come back to life, Xia Yu turned his gaze towards the port again.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and the second batch of T-80BVs arrived at the port this afternoon. He came to pick up the goods.

The warehouse at the port was already filled with Jagdpanthers delivered by Rheinmetall, the first batch of T-64A and T-64B, and the more space-saving BTR-80.

During these few days, 50 T-64A series tanks were repaired and restored to power, and all were stuffed into flat-bottomed barges and parked in the subspace berth.

These target vehicles will first be transferred to the cave sub-base, and then transported there for unmanned conversion after the aircraft graveyard in Kidar is completed.

T-64Bs in better basic condition will be directly upgraded to the T-64B1M standard and delivered to Busa at the agreed time.

As for the batch of T-80BVs that arrived today, those for normal sale are still fine, but the gold coin models for personal use require replacement of everything from the main gun to the two-way stabilizer, to the automatic loader, and finally to the engine.

Xia Yu only used the hull and turret, and the interior can be said to be a direct replacement of the car. It is more appropriate to call it the red T-80BVM.

But before that, he still has time to modify a Russian version of his collection.

【Project: T-80BV】

[Completeness: 96.7% (can be repaired)]

"Get ready!"

[Estimated remaining maintenance hours: 38.7]

There is a price to pay for a 100% factory new car. It takes almost two days to make one, and after the modification is completed he has to leave for Marie.

A 82% new BTR-10S requires less than hours of work including maintenance and modification. There is still half a year before the official delivery, so he is not in a hurry to start.

The upgrade orders for the MK30 2/ABM machine guns from several countries were scheduled for three years later, so Xia Yu had to wait for Rheinmetall to produce the guns first.

However, even so, the system's production capacity was still fully utilized during this period.

Feeling the atmosphere of war, during the period when he was not maintaining vehicle equipment, he would replace the self-propelled howitzers in Garage No. 3 to batch print howitzer shells of different calibers.

For example, the mother aircraft released during this period is Russia's 2S19 MSTA-S. This self-propelled howitzer uses the T-80's track system, but is powered by the T-72's diesel engine and is quite satisfactory.

Xia Yu bought it only to print artillery shells and it will not be incorporated into the company's combat sequence.

He glanced at the printed number of shells: 12894

They are all the most conventional 3OF45 high-explosive grenades, and the maximum range can only be 24.7 kilometers. It is not impossible to print them by replacing them with 3OF61 base-discharge extended-range bullets. The system can even produce red soil, but the problem is that it is not easy to use.

It is enough for us to make some silver coin bullets. Russia doesn’t produce much gold coin bullets itself.

Two days later, an AS 550 left Kongluga and flew to the inland canyon area in the northeast, and then dived into the cave sub-base in the long future.

In addition to the tanks and fighter jets parked in the center, the two sides of the cave close to the stone wall were filled with two sizes of engineering plastic boxes.

Most of Lao Mei's 155mm shells are sandwiched between two layers of wooden pallets like a sandwich, with dozens of shells, and the powder bags and fuses are sealed and stored.

No matter what caliber the big Mao guns were, they were all in those old-fashioned wooden boxes that looked flimsy, with the shells and cartridges placed together.

The system can print wood, but this would take a lot of time, since the complex wood fibers have to be stacked layer by layer.

If it is changed to plastic, it will be transformed into a nuclear-powered injection molding machine. As long as there are enough particles in the storage bin, one can be produced in a few seconds. It is also anti-collision and moisture-proof, and the quality is very good. However, Xia Yu modified the design of the reinforcement ribs compared to the motherboard.

Xia Yu waved his hand and released all the more than 1 shells from the temporary ammunition depot and continued to stack them against the rock wall.

He has produced more than 5 rounds of artillery shells of the two calibers combined. According to data from field surveys, it will be necessary for him to expand the scale of production in the later stages.

Currently, the profit of each bullet is only a few thousand dollars, but once the war escalates, Xia Yu will not be surprised if the price increases several times. If he stocks up one more bullet now, he can earn several more of the latest kidney machines later.

This is war. You can't fight a war without money.

After clearing the temporary ammunition depot, he looked at the stacked shells and saw that they did not look very beautiful. He would print some standard containers when the Tough-class was delivered!
Not counting the volume, a container can carry at least 200 shells, and 50 shells is only .

Turning around and coming to the tank storage area, Xia Yu continued to wave his hand to release the barge, and released the target vehicle inside along with the modified T-80BVM.

"Woo~~"

When the gas turbine of this absolutely authentic T-80BVM, equipped with a multi-channel Pine U gun with a long sight, an Arena M active defense system, and soft-pack fossil explosive reactive armor, was started, a sharp high-frequency noise sounded, and the beast suddenly came to life.

If General Dong were to attack, or if the battle were to take place directly in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, Xia Yu would definitely choose this tank.

Any delay of one second is disrespectful to the lives of all the crew members. The problem is that since they started working, they have never been deployed in an environment below zero degrees. On the contrary, they are more likely to be deployed in extreme climates of 40 or 50 degrees Celsius.

Sure enough, gas turbines are more suitable for cold environments.

The guy who replaced the diesel engine for the T-80 will be waiting for shells to hit his head in the winter, and the 6TD-2 that has been roasting on the fire still can't start!
Unless the old magnesium will assist them with the M1 series, Xia Yu has always looked down on Abrams, but the gas turbine winter is really possible.

"Woo~~"

He had a lot of fun driving the T-80BVM forward, backward, and turn in the cave, but there were too many pyrotechnics, so he couldn't fire a few shots for fun.

"Dong~~"

Back in Bogo Village, driving a newly modified red T-80BVM, Xia Yu finally satisfied his desire to fire.

Kong Luga had a T-80U spare modification kit sent from his hometown, which he used directly on a T-80BV.

The Golden Monkey crew that had been withdrawn ahead of time tested two tanks of oil, and the newly replaced 6TD-3 engine did not break down after more than ten hours.

This is normal. If a motorcycle has problems after running for less than 120 hours, it will definitely be returned if sold for 500 million. The key point is to look at the data after 1000 or hours of operation.

With a better barrel and a larger chamber, this T-80BVM also unlocked a full range of gold bullets, and pierced the turret of the T-64A target vehicle two kilometers away.

"Dong~~"

"Boom~~"

The second shot hit the forehead covered with a sharp blade. The single layer of sharp blade could not withstand the huge kinetic energy of the tungsten alloy long rod, and the two-section rod could not be disturbed by the explosion like the mango bomb.

"Boss, this new car is really good. It's more powerful than our T-80U."

The train commander, Golden Monkey, said excitedly to Xia Yu beside him.

"120 million, we can't waste this money! While I'm away in Mary, you guys continue testing it and see where its limit is."

Xia Yu instructed the golden monkey crew.

As a boss, he definitely doesn't have time to do any extreme testing, but his employees do.

"Yes, boss!" After knowing that if this engine can pass the test, the boss will replace the entire series, the three of them answered very enthusiastically.

After climbing out of the T-80BVM, which had not yet been equipped with air conditioning, Xia Yu simply filled his stomach and set off for the airport.

I won’t be taking the home grocery shopping machine today. Not long after arriving at the terminal, the An-124 appeared in the sky.

After completing a secondary upgrade of avionics in its hometown, this four-engine giant has just arrived at its home port of Afika.

Fortunately, Pointe Noire Airport was renovated before, otherwise there would be no room for this big guy.

The nose of the machine opened upwards with hydraulic power assistance, and the lowered ramp fell to the ground, revealing the full cargo inside.

When Jihuo Air Transport Company was first established, it had a corporate culture of not making empty trips. In order to reduce the flight distance by loading heavy objects, it would load all the cargoes which are light in weight but take up too much space.

After unloading the cargo, Xia Yu also boarded the cockpit of the An-124, ready to take a short cargo flight to Mali.

After the aviation fuel was replenished and the new cargo was loaded into the cargo hold, the Condor transport plane, piloted by the co-pilot, once again rushed into the blue sky.

The airport in Kidar is of too low a grade to accommodate large aircraft like the An-124. Xia Yu and his group flew to Oga and then transferred to Tinkebatu.

In the days since Hans and his team entered the city, they have been carrying out patrol orders to prevent the Azawad Coordination Movement from learning from extremist organizations and carrying out terrorist attacks.

Obviously they didn't, so the Hai people gradually relaxed the martial law in Tinkebatu and reduced the frequency of patrols.

The force level does not need to be as high as that of Focused Fire Defense, so this order should be left to other PMC companies, and they don’t have to waste time in Marie.

After Xia Yu and the hairy people have settled their accounts, all employees of the company will withdraw to their hometown to rest.

"So 188 days, a total of 2.4 million euros?"

After flipping through the thick stack of printed details, Xia Yu looked at the last number and asked.

From the arrival of the first employee to the departure of the last employee tomorrow, the second Sahel deployment of Jihuo Defense will take a total of 188 days, or more than half a year.

With dozens of regular employees, a few hundred second-line village protection teams, and so many heavy equipments, 2.4 million for more than half a year is not expensive.

This is also the result of the hairy Chinese being more calculating (stingy). If it were the black guys who couldn't provide any ammunition, the contract amount would definitely exceed 3 million euros.

But for the 2.4 million, what they actually paid out would not exceed 1 million, and the rest would all be offset by equipment.

For example, the Sparrowhawk B, Mirage IIIG/8, and AS 550 that Xia Yu had previously ordered with François, as well as the Mirage 4000 that was subsequently approved for trading.

The most expensive of them is the Mirage 4000, each of which costs 2000 million euros, which is more expensive than the F-14D.

If you think it's too expensive, you can give it up, but even if Xia Yu can use two Mirage-2000s to make a Mirage-4000, he won't be able to get through Ming Road.

So 2000 million is 2000 million, which is much cheaper than a second-hand Rafale. In the future, he can earn it back from the rich people in the country.

"Yes, Mr. Sherlock, and a detailed account of every day is enclosed in the front."

The financial director of the Hair Army said affirmatively.

In the accounts, every rocket and missile fired by Jihuo Defense is recorded, and the personnel and equipment costs are also marked, all calculated according to the agreed standards.

"Okay, I believe you."

Xia Yu nodded and said.

He had checked the accounts before he came, and it was indeed less than 2.5 million euros, while the current annual turnover of Jihuo Defense is about 5 million euros, or about 6 million US dollars.

I went to Damao and Ermao and spent most of my money.

But without the core strike force, who would buy your weapons? How to protect the rights of museums? Large-scale development of the mining industry and involvement in the aviation transportation industry are out of the question.

Therefore, firepower defense is the cornerstone of all Xia Yu's businesses, and it must be operated even if it does not make money.

"But I want to add five C-5s to the equipment to offset the payment. The condition of the aircraft will be similar to the one that was previously given to us. How about the unit price still be 160 million euros?"

Xia Yu proposed the idea of ​​purchasing additional C-160s.

"I think it's okay, but it still needs to be reported to the higher-ups for approval."

The financial director did not agree on the spot. She was only responsible for the funds, and the Air Force property had to be authorized by the Ministry of Defense before it could be traded.

"I understand. I'm not in a hurry. I'll just pay 8000 million euros in the first installment."

Purchasing goods has taken out a lot of money from various subsidiaries, and Xia Yu is now in urgent need of cash flow.

"Okay, I can promise you this now. The 8000 million will be transferred to your company's account next Monday."

Having received nearly 1 million US dollars, Xia Yu is also ready to lead the team to evacuate Mary. The construction of the Kidar aircraft graveyard will not be carried out until the end of this year, so there is no rush now.

After returning to the base, the employees packed their belongings and packed their belongings into boxes. The two F-16s were transferred directly back to Kongluga, and the BTR-82S of the village protection team was delivered to the Nizhir people. Only Busa's two howitzers and the heavy equipment of the front-line forces needed to be taken back.

With such a good opportunity, of course we have to try strategic air delivery.

The self-propelled howitzer, truck-mounted gun, and Leclerc UAE will be transported to Oga together. The total weight of the three vehicle units will be about 150 tons.

"Boom~~"

The four D-18Ts burst out with tremendous kinetic energy, carrying 150 tons of cargo into the blue sky and flew towards Guo.

The other equipment and containers had to be loaded onto the ship and taken back, while Xia Yu followed the An-124 ahead.

On their way back, in Libya, north of Afika, a group of armed men dressed as locals appeared in a small town called Sabah in the southern desert.

This area used to be under the jurisdiction of the Government of National Accord, but after several exchanges of fire with the National Army, they lost control of Sabah.

As long as there is no army stationed there, the town is in a state of autonomy and no one is in charge, just like most of the villages and towns in Libya. But Sabah has something that other towns don't have.

"This is it. The 2.5 tons of yellow cake refined by Gaddafi are stored here. The National Unity Government wanted to ask the International Atomic Energy Agency to deal with this difficult stuff, but the war with the National Army disrupted the process. They should have been sent to Oros for destruction a year ago."

The guide in the team got out of the car and said to the leader who was holding a telescope.

Colonel Kamagra once went to a certain big country and clamored to buy nuclear weapons, but he did not give up on possessing nuclear weapons even after being rejected.

My psychological process is that you can sell Lao Ba, so why can’t I sell Lao Li?
If it doesn't work, I will make it myself. After investing a lot of manpower and material resources, the Libya people successfully produced thousands of barrels of yellowcake, which is enriched uranium.

As a result, before any substantial progress was made, Lao Mei made an example of Yilako and beat him. This scared a certain madman, and he immediately said that he would give up nuclear weapons.

This did not change his ending, but a large amount of yellow cake still remains in Libi Ya today, and has become the target of some people with ulterior motives.

"Zona Ross? I really want to choose Zona Ross, but it's too far away."
