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

Chapter 474 Now that I’m here, let’s buy another one

The government forces also used the weapons buyback tactic in the past. Every civilian who handed in a weapon could get a lottery ticket for a laptop computer, digital camera, or car.

Concentrated fire defense doesn’t have to be that complicated, they just give the money directly.

An AK can be exchanged for 200 US dollars, a pistol can be exchanged for 80 dollars, and an RPG-7 launcher can be exchanged for 500 dollars...

The quoted price is not high, but they are all second-hand goods. Only after they are shipped across the ocean to Europe can they be worth seven or eight times the price. They cannot be sold at a high price in Northern Philippines.

The boss lady has prepared 1000 million in cash and will buy back as much as possible. The rest is in the hands of those arms smuggling organizations and can only be cleared out with real guns and swords.

Such organizations are closely related to refugee smuggling and human trafficking. The instructor team has already prepared the first list of targets to be dealt with severely, and the External Security Bureau has not been idle during this period.

In this way, the regular employees were divided into two groups and began to clear out the light weapons left over from the battlefield in the suburbs of Tripoli.

They also collected heavy equipment, but the people of Libya no longer had so many tanks and artillery.

The strike team led by Lao Ke was spread out, and the Cinderella crew was ready to provide them with fire support at any time. The bribery team on Hans' side was escorted by the boss himself.

But compared to guns and ammunition, Xia Yu attaches more importance to the enriched uranium circulating among the people.

Also inspired by Salim, he offered a high price for yellow cake, but after half a month, they only received 3 barrels in total.

In sharp contrast is the number of weapons repurchased. More than 3000 rifles of various types, 500 pistols, and 100 light and heavy machine guns were received. Liv spent nearly 200 million in total.

"The civil war has been going on from Tripoli to Benghazi, and the most guns and ammunition are left around here, but the same cannot be said for the enriched uranium, which is scattered in the sparsely populated cities and towns inland."

After visiting and investigating for a period of time, Xia Yu determined the general direction of the next crackdown.

Almost all of those territories were nominally controlled by the National Army. Only the Tuareg tribal militia in the west were so angry at the National Army that they joined the National Unity Government.

He had previously asked Uncle Blackfoot, who said that the weapons and equipment of the Tuareg people in Libya were obviously inferior to those of Mari's fellow tribesmen. This showed that Colonel Ka's secret arsenal was not with them.

After unearthing the treasure, the Coordination of Azawad did not share it with its local compatriots, or there was no need to share it.

There is a civil war going on in Libya, but many countries have their eyes on it. It is much more difficult to split it than to split Mari. It will be a loss no matter how much resources are invested. It is better to focus on the route from Kidal to Tinkebatu.

If there is no external intervention, this decision would be correct, but the Chinese have to choose a target every year. Unfortunately, they were chosen this year and then they were targeted.

But when they were badly damaged and were just licking their wounds, this damned concentrated fire defense wanted to rob them of their capital for a comeback. Even Pearl couldn't tolerate this.

Xia Yu didn't know that Taiquidda had already brought his men into Libya, but he further narrowed the possible scope of the secret arsenal so as not to turn the entire country of Libya upside down.

"Bully the team to follow me inland. There won't be enriched uranium around the big cities."

"Yes, boss!"

At Xia Yu's command, except for the strike team that acted independently, the rest of the employees began packing their luggage and making preparations before departure.

"Boss, I have something to report to you. The two factions started fighting again last week, and I'm afraid that the fighting will affect us."

Lawrence took off his headphones and talked to Xia Yu.

He can speak Arabic and is responsible for the daily liaison between the company and the two parties, and he maintains routine contact with both parties every day.

"What are you afraid of, Platypus? Both the Government of National Unity and the National Army have our real-time GPS coordinates. Even if they start fighting, they will avoid us. We should pay more attention to the Tuareg."

Xia Yu comforted Lawrence.

They are not like Gna who was hired by one faction to attack another faction. Attacking them would not only waste ammunition, but also lead to retaliation, and would also slap the face of the EU and the UN. It would be a definite losing business.

But apart from them, there are still many enemies in Libya who are concentrating their firepower on defense.

The elusive strike team is difficult to ambush, but the real-time location of the bribery team is easy to obtain, so you have to be fully prepared every time you set out.

"Om~~"

Sparrowhawk B was catapulted into the air and flew off into the distance to scout the transition conditions for ground forces.

Their destination this time is the city of Waddan in the middle of Libya. The nearby Jufra Air Force Base is the only remaining fighter jets of the National Army, and is also the base of the Ghana Air Force.

This place is the thoroughfare of nine provinces in Libya, and from here you can go to almost all the provinces in the inland where enriched uranium is suspected to be scattered.

Of course, the National Unity Government will not relax its offensive on such an important place as the National Army has a clear advantage in the civil war in the past two years.

"Wow~Wow~~"

Lao Luhu landed at Jufra Air Force Base before the ground forces. Old Yefu, who was right at Libya, came up and gave Xia Yu a hug.

"Sherlock, I was unable to entertain you when you went to Cerus, and now that you are in Libya I must make arrangements."

A cook is a cook after all, so he arranged a sumptuous meal for Xia Yu and his wife.

"No problem, but what do those people do?"

Xia Yu pointed at a group of Arabs wearing various clothes who were training in front of the camp and asked.

"The Syrian opposition that surrendered is also in the National Unity Government. This is like re-employment for laid-off workers. The monthly salary is $1000, which is much cheaper than that of regular employees, but their fighting capacity is much lower."

Old Yefu and Xia Yu introduced.

Precisely because of the poor combat effectiveness, we have to make up for it now, so that we won’t be scrapped too quickly when filling the line.

After learning the high- and low-matching model of concentrated fire defense, Gena no longer pursues the eliteization of all personnel as before, because this is too wasteful in Afika.

Then bring the Syrians to northern Philippines to free up personnel to develop new markets in China and the Philippines.

After operating for a few years, maybe he could attract a group of black people to work in Europe, which would greatly reduce costs and increase efficiency. Old Yev also learned the true meaning of private military contracting.

Compared with all high configurations, high, medium and low configurations, high and low configurations are the most suitable. The middle combat power that is neither high nor low is not that important.

It's okay as long as your low-end combat power is slightly stronger than the opponent's average level. After all, this is a world of comparison.

"It's indeed cheap. They can't beat those elite troops who spend eight hundred, one thousand dollars a day, but it's cost-effective!"

Xia Yu agreed and said that PMC also needs cheap labor.

But $1000 is a high salary that even Ace Ace can’t offer. The world is so “uneven”.

"But you actually deployed two Tunguskas here. Is Jufra Air Base attacked frequently?"

Seeing two anti-aircraft vehicles in motion, Xia Yu
Asked Old Yefu.

"It's indeed a bit high. The Tuerki people supported the National Unity Government's TB-2 drones. The Tunguska's air defense missiles were not good enough. The National Army had several aircraft destroyed, and we almost had a MiG-29 destroyed."

Old Yefu said angrily.

"I have ordered a set of Beech, which will be delivered to Libya next month. Haftar also wants to buy S-300, but he has not approved it yet, but Beech is enough for now."

For a reconnaissance and strike drone, the SAM-11 with a range of dozens of kilometers is indeed enough.

The TB-2 assembled by Tuji has only one advantage as a platform, which is its cheapness. However, the ammunition they equip it with is still quite good.

For example, the MAM-L micro air-to-ground missile can reach 15 kilometers, which is beyond the reach of the 9M113 in Tunguska, and Yev has suffered several setbacks. That is why he spent a lot of money to introduce the Buk fighter. When the time comes, he will shoot down one by one, and at the same time he can make a lot of money from Haftar, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

After listening to Old Mr. Ye's pretense, Xia Yu couldn't help but shout 666 in his heart. He is worthy of being the big Mao. He dares to give anything.

He just put together a set of home defense tactics, which was not included in the field deployment.

"What about this month?"

Xia Yu continued to ask.

Yeah, we can’t just get bombarded like this this month, right?

"You reminded me that there are still more than two weeks left in this month!"

Old Yefu scratched his bald head and discovered the omission.

"I remember that General Haftar just received a batch of reconnaissance and strike drones, which not only have longer flight time and range, but also carry three times as much ammunition as the TB-2, and can fly at an altitude of 3 meters?"

Xia Yu reminded kindly.

Jihuo Defense does not interfere in the conflict between the two factions, but it is normal to provide some advice to old friends.

There's nothing he can do about it, it's his own fault for not liking this crappy TB-2!

"Yes, that's right, you mean..."

Old Yefu felt that he was starting to grow a brain, but it was just a little bit short.

"Let the drones serve as sentinels. Fire Defense likes to do this the most. With our own drones patrolling overhead, my sleep quality has never been worse."

Xia Yu continued to hint.

The so-called TB-2 has a combat radius of only 300 kilometers and can strike the Jufra Air Base, which means that their ground control station is within 300 kilometers.

The flight altitude of 9000 meters means that the TB-2 cannot see the yellow bird overhead at all.

The fighter jets also have a radar warning receiver that can issue warnings, but there are not many reconnaissance and strike drones that have this configuration.

In other words, in specific applications, not many people have thought of using drones to counter drones, especially small guys like the TB-2 that have inherent deficiencies.

"I'll call Haftar right now. I'll have my men take you to settle down first. See you in the evening!"

Old Yefu was a man of impetuous character. After saying that, he left Xia Yu and his group behind and ran towards the base building.

"This guy, let's go and put the luggage first."

Xia Yu shook his head helplessly and said.

But if you want to have a good sleep afterwards, this is something you must do.

He looked around and saw that several aprons of the air force base still retained the wreckage of the Il-76.

The An-124 at Libya is operated by civil aviation, but the Il-76 transport aircraft and Il-78 tanker are out-and-out military aircraft.

The few Il-76s left in Tripoli were destroyed many years ago, and the survivors are all scattered in air force bases outside the capital.

However, due to years of civil war, the number has continued to decrease, and now there are only three or five zombie planes left in the hands of the National Army.

However, with the support of the big player, UAE, Haftar also has more than 20 Il-76s rented from Ermao to transport various supplies.

Well, several of the rented planes were shot down, and those wreckages seemed to be... I wonder if Tung Korlan received any compensation from the big customers later.

They probably prefer the buyout compensation to the rental income!

"Honey, what are those planes?"

Liv put her hands on the awning and saw several large planes with engines on their backs.

"That one! Tu-22!"

Xia Yu recognized this bomber at a glance.

"Don't lie to me. I've seen the Tu-22 when I was in the Aeolus. Its air intake is clearly at the bottom, and its wings are also retractable."

Liv felt that her husband was fooling her.

"I'm not kidding you, this thing is really a Tu-22, but it's a Tu-22B with eye mask, not a Tu-22M with backfire, so Gaddafi bought a lot of them back then."

Xia Yu smiled and explained to his blind military wife.

The people of Luolian are also good at playing word games. They fooled us by saying that we did not develop a new type of strategic bomber, but only an improved version of the old aircraft.

"But they are all well preserved, there should be only a shell left. Their target value is far less than those Il-76s. The National Unity Government did not waste missiles on them, but they can be bought back and used as target drones."

Xia Yu was delighted to see the prey. Since he was already here, shouldn't he take something back with him?

Of course, in addition to these Tu-22B target drones, it would be even better if we could also buy those Il-76 and Il-78 drones that are out of service.

Apart from his own Il-76MF that he was going to convert into a private jet, Xia Yu did not buy a single mass-produced Il-76 when he went to Damao and Ermao last time.

Due to financial constraints, the newly established Canadian Air Transport Company has no demand for the Il-76 for the time being.

His cash flow is now much more abundant, and even if there is no demand for the Il-76, adding a new tanker unit has become the next stage of development goal.

Yes, the An-124 can carry it, but when fully loaded with 150 tons, the maximum range drops significantly.

It's okay in Afika, and it's barely enough for intercontinental flights to Europe and the Middle East, but if you want to cross the Atlantic Ocean to Magnesium with a full load, you can't even reach the east coast without a refueling aircraft.

With the tanker, Ruslan set a record of 72 hours of continuous flight and 5 kilometers.

Therefore, it is necessary to assign a dedicated nanny to the beast, and the company's original C-135FR can be left behind to take care of the Afika market.

By the way, buy two more Il-76s to keep the An-124 company in the aircraft graveyard.

Just make some preparations, and when the time is right, pull it out to bring it back to life. If you don't do these things in advance, it's okay to have a fighter jet, but it's impossible for Xia Yu to suddenly produce such a large transport plane for you.

Therefore, it is important to plan ahead, and his hoarding property is very suitable for this business.

"Looks like I have to talk to Hartaf as well, but there's no rush now."

Xia Yu still spoke calmly.

The old guy wanted to trick him before, so we must seize this good opportunity to take advantage of him.

"My dear, you must be planning something bad again."

Liv understood that as soon as Xia Yu said there was no hurry, someone would definitely be in trouble.
