I work as a mercenary in northern Myanmar.

Chapter 539 Fateh-110
The surveillance of the Outlaw Corps is still ongoing. The bad news is that they seem to have entered a latent state. Not to mention the people, even the vehicles they used before have not appeared again.

But the good news is that they haven't made any moves to evacuate.

On the contrary, not only did they not evacuate, more and more JD elements began to gather in the direction of Hasakah.

At this time, even without any intelligence support, everyone including Chen Chen could already judge the intentions of these JD elements.

They want to use Hasakah as their base camp and continue to encroach on the entire northeastern Syria.

This can be seen from their frequent attacks and large-scale religious propaganda and recruitment training activities.

At the airport, Suhail launched several air strikes against Kazakhstan and the surrounding areas of Raqqa after discussions, destroying several small-scale armed camps. However, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, the operation against Hasakah was never carried out.

Everyone was inevitably a little anxious, but Chen Chen didn't take it seriously at all.

Because he knows better than anyone else that those extremists cannot make too big a splash.

As long as the ceasefire with the United States does not end, the war situation in Syria is unlikely to change much.

Instead of worrying about things that haven't happened yet, it's better to make good use of the window period in front of you and prepare for the upcoming war.

Now, the most important thing he needs to do is to find a way to find the missiles he needs to fill the last shortcoming of the Dongfeng Corps' combat system.

Therefore, Chen Chen simply called Ivan, who was solely responsible for the airport command from Russia, and expressed his intentions to them straight to the point.

After hearing his request, Ivan fell into deep thought for a while.

After a long silence, he spoke:
"So, what you need is an army tactical missile with a range of about 300 kilometers and capable of covering the entire territory of Syria?"

"Yes."

Chen Chen nodded immediately and then added:

"Actually, what we want is not necessarily standard ballistic surface-to-surface ballistic missiles. Surface-to-air missiles with modification potential can also be considered."

"For example, the modification potential of the S-75 surface-to-air missile is actually very large. If it can be transformed into a ground attack missile, it is actually not unacceptable."

"Do you have the ability to modify it?"

Ivan asked.

".No, this should be covered by the contract with you."

Hearing Chen Chen's words, Ivan immediately shook his head and said:

"That's impossible."

"We can't go to great lengths to modify the missile just for a single contract, especially when the situation is quite sensitive."

"I think there is actually only one type of missile that you can consider purchasing, and that is the Scud B missile."

"The range and power of this kind of missile are within the controllable range. Even if it enters Syria, it will not trigger an overreaction from hostile forces."

"At the same time, its existence can greatly strengthen your deterrence and make those JD elements retreat in spite of difficulties."

Having said this, Ivan paused for a few seconds, and then continued to ask:
"But what I don't understand is, why do you need to do this kind of thing?"

"In my opinion, for strategic weapons such as missiles, at least the Syrian government forces should take the lead in negotiating and purchasing them, right?"

"What will happen even if you get the missiles? With your funds, how many missiles can you afford?"

After Ivan finished speaking, Chen Chen replied calmly:

"What you said is absolutely correct."

"Theoretically, we shouldn't have access to ballistic missile launch rights at all, but the problem is, in the current situation, we do need this kind of thing."

"It's not like you haven't seen our previous battles. In that extreme situation, if we can have a high-yield missile, the price we pay will be much smaller."

"Taking into account the situation of the Syrian government forces, we believe that it is more appropriate to have this ultimate destruction weapon in our own hands."

"You are very bold."

Ivan nodded with emotion, and then said:

"When I say bold, I don't mean you want missiles."

"But, how dare you directly apply to me to purchase missiles."

"Did you know? If we could go back to three months ago, when I heard what you said, our cooperation would have ended."

"Even to ensure that you don't leak secrets, you will face the risk of being arrested and killed."

Ivan's expression was both serious and solemn, but when Chen Chen heard these words, he felt a little funny.

What kind of white lotus are you putting here?
Still ending the cooperation?
In fact, in Chen Chen's memory in his previous life, Mao Zi sold countless ballistic missiles in the warehouse to Syria.

Where did the Houthi armed forces come from with a large number of S-75, Scud B, and Scud C?

You wouldn't say it grew from the ground, would you?
Moreover, even if we don’t mention “outside things”, let’s just say that in the Syrian battlefield, before Russia formally established relations with the Syrian government, Russia had already delivered a variety of ballistic missiles to the Syrian government forces, and even organized a special training.

This is not a secret, it's just a tacit understanding that everyone knows but doesn't want to break.
Therefore, Chen Chen knew very well that Ivan's words were just retreat in order to advance.

He probably didn't know how happy he was to hear that someone was going to help them stock up.

So, Chen Chen coughed and said:
"This is just a normal business cooperation and is not mixed with other political factors."

"If you can provide me with what I need, I will naturally find a way to ensure that you are not involved in risks."

"If the deal can't be reached, then I think it won't be a loss for both of us, right?"

"Yes."

A smile finally appeared on Ivan's face. Then, after thinking for a moment, he replied:

"I can pass your request to the relevant personnel for discussion."

"In the near future, we will deliver a batch of anti-aircraft missile systems to Syria. At that time, what you want can also be sent."

"Of course, whether we can promote cooperation depends on the final price negotiation."

"But as your proverb goes, buying and selling cannot be done without kindness, right?"

"Of course!"

Chen Chen stretched out his hand and shook it with Ivan. The two looked at each other and smiled, as if this cooperation had been reached.

But in fact, Chen Chen knew that this was just the first step towards signing a real contract, and it was just a confirmation of intention.

Next, he still has many problems to solve.

There are several most critical factors that will affect his choice.

The first and most important thing is the price. If the price is not suitable, Chen Chen would rather import some long-range rockets than purchase low-cost-effective ballistic missiles.

The second one is delivery time.

The situation on the Syrian battlefield is unpredictable. If it cannot be delivered in time, then your purchase will be meaningless.

The third one is the so-called "sensitivity". After all, it is already quite scary for a mercenary organization to have the right to launch ballistic missiles. If there are any more factors that touch the sensitive points of the United States and NATO, what the Dongfeng Corps will encounter will be really devastating. blow.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to put all his chips on one person.

After sending Ivan away, he immediately called Peng Xucheng again.

Professional matters are left to professionals. He believes that with Peng Xucheng's network, even if he cannot directly provide "supply sources", he can still give suggestions worth considering.

And sure enough, after listening to his needs, Peng Xucheng did not let him down.

"Russian Scud missiles are indeed a good choice, but they have two very obvious shortcomings. One is sensitivity and the other is stability."

"You also know that any type of Scud missile can carry a nuclear warhead. This fact is very easy for NATO to make a big fuss about and use it as a basis for escalating sanctions."

"The cost of using this missile may be greater than the benefits it can produce."

“In addition, regarding stability issues, let’s not talk about the distant past, but let’s talk about the recent war in Libya.”

"At the beginning, the Gaddafi government launched no fewer than six Scud missiles, and three of them were Scud C-type missiles deployed near Sirte. It was said that the system was complete and in good condition."

"But in fact, only one of the six missiles landed near the target city of Misrata, and it missed the target by 6 meters."

"The other five all failed and landed near Brega, which was very far away."

"And the reason is very simple. It has been in the warehouse for too long and has already expired."

"Note, I'm not talking about staying in Gaddafi's warehouse for too long, but in a Russian warehouse."

"Based on the final results, it is very likely that these missiles were ineffective the moment they were sold, but because the Libyan government did not have the ability to detect them, it did not find any problems with them."

"Similarly, we don't have the ability to buy Maozi's things. The final result is probably to buy a few large fireworks."

"Makes sense."

Chen Chen nodded convincingly, and then asked:

"Then what do you suggest?"

After hearing Chen Chen's question, Peng Xucheng paused for a few seconds and then said:

“My suggestions are simple, just two.”

"Either don't buy missiles and just buy rockets; if you must buy missiles, buy Iranian products."

".Let's talk about rockets first."

"Rockets are very simple, you don't need to consider other options, just use AR-2."

"It has a paper range of 100 kilometers and an actual range of 130 kilometers. It has great power, high flexibility, high accuracy and fast reloading speed."

"The most important thing is, this thing is shockingly cheap."

"Actually, before this time, I had already been in contact with the Ethiopian military. The price of the AR-2 rocket launcher they previously purchased was only US$220 million, and one shell only cost US$5."

"Even if we buy it back from them, considering various costs, the price of a set of AR-2 will not exceed 400 million US dollars, and the price of a single shell is 6 to 7 US dollars at most."

"Based on 20 million US dollars, the rockets we can buy are enough for you to fight an entire war in Syria."

"If you can find Poly Technology directly, the price can be even lower."

"They're not going to give us that, at least not in the short term."

Chen Chen shook his head subconsciously and denied.

In fact, if I insist on getting an AR-2, I am afraid the North will not refuse to give it to me.

But the problem is that this puts both parties at risk and is not a good choice.

Even if you really want to purchase it, you have to wait until White Glove is completely established and operating stably before considering it.

Thinking of this, he continued to ask:
“Let’s talk about Iranian goods.”

"The Iranian product is also very simple, Fateh-110."

"Fateh-110?"

This unfamiliar name short-circuited Chen Chen's brain for a few seconds, but soon, his dusty memory came to life, and he finally realized what this name represented.

What Fateh-110, that's Conqueror-110!

As the most representative short-range ballistic missile developed and produced by the Aerospace Industry Organization of the Iranian Ministry of Defense, this thing can be said to have achieved great success in the 20 years after its birth.

Whether it is in Iran, Iraq, Ukraine, or Israel, this thing has had its soul-stirring experience.

Multiple models, multiple uses, a range of more than 300 kilometers, a payload of more than 600 kilograms, an error accuracy of 30 to 400 meters, and a terminal penetration speed of Mach 3.5
This thing is not said to be a dimensionality reduction attack in the Middle East, but at least it is almost invincible!

For a country targeted by this missile, there is basically no reliable means of interception except for early detection and destruction.

Even the Aegis system that the United States is proud of has a low interception success rate against Fateh-110.

If the Houthi armed forces used this thing to carry out a saturation attack, the Eisenhower might really be killed.
Of course, putting aside all these parameters, the most important thing is that the process of entering Syria was quite smooth.

Even if Chen Chen himself does not make a request, in a few months, the Syrian authorities will reach an agreement with Iran, introduce the Fateh-110 production line, and begin to produce this ballistic missile, which has been renamed M-600!
By then, it shouldn’t be a big problem for the Dongfeng Corps to take the opportunity to ask for a few sets, right?
Thinking of this, Chen Chen immediately became interested.

Then, he asked:
"Is there any way you can get Fateh-110?"

Hearing his words, Peng Xucheng on the opposite side coughed and replied:
"If I couldn't get it, I wouldn't be proposing it at all."

"Now I have two options. The risks are indeed a bit higher, but the advantage is that the efficiency is amazing."

"As long as you place an order, I guarantee that the missile will be delivered within two weeks."

"Say it directly!"

Chen Chen ordered impatiently.

".Okay. The first one is in Peshawar, where two sets of Fateh-110 missile systems have just arrived. They were originally planned to be shipped to Russia, but the contract delivery was terminated due to various problems and eventually flowed into the Peshawar market. It is currently a Hot potato, sellers are eagerly looking for buyers.”

"The second one is Iran. They plan to export Fateh-110 missiles to Syria, but they lack a reliable middleman."

"I think we can be the middleman. After all, the biggest problem is to advance funds, and we happen to be not that short of money."

"Two at the same time! We can't be the middle man, but I know who can!"

Chen Chen said without hesitation.

These two paths are indeed very risky, but if they can have missiles in their hands, the Dongfeng Corps will no longer be an ordinary mercenary group.

In this case, what else to choose? Of course I want them all!
"Understood, I'll handle it right away and get back to you within two hours."

Peng Xucheng always acted vigorously and resolutely. With a bang, the phone was hung up.

Chen Chen breathed a long sigh of relief and picked up the cold coffee beside him with satisfaction.

He suffocated the liquid inside in one sip, then stood up and walked outside the door, found Ivan who happened to be smoking outdoors, and said:
"Ivan, we can put aside what we just mentioned. Now, I have a new business here."
