Tokyo Reborn: Dark Superstar

Chapter 139: Gather quickly, fight quickly, retreat quickly
After the first day of contact, formal negotiations finally began.

The content of the negotiation is very simple. It is nothing more than that Gao Cangbunta wants to pay less and buy more weapons, and Shao Kegu and the others want to pay less and buy more weapons.

After nearly two days of discussions, the two sides basically reached an agreement.

The Soviet-style equipment of an infantry battalion mainly purchases light infantry equipment such as light weapons, grenades, tactical vests, rocket launchers, mortars, and howitzers, while cutting out heavy armored weapons such as BTR-80A armored personnel carriers and T-72 main battle tanks.

The package price of such a battalion's equipment can be as low as 8000 million US dollars.

This is the greatest sincerity they can show after several discussions, and they cannot lower the price any more.

In the previous life, in 2012, the U.S. military's IBCT infantry brigade combat team equipment expenditure was US$4.6 million, which was equivalent to US$1997 million in 2.1 based on the purchase rate, including the M1 Abrams main battle tank and the M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle. Waiting for hundreds of military vehicles.

Mimihaki PMC Company bought Soviet-style equipment from clearance sales, but did not buy military vehicles such as tanks, armored vehicles, and command vehicles.

This price is basically Colonel Shaokegu's bottom line.

The weapons content in the purchase list was not randomly determined by Takakura Bunta, but was the result of repeated calculations with the Mimihaki PMC team.

…………

In fact, as early as the two Iraq wars, especially during the 1991 Gulf War, the U.S. Army's Apache helicopter gunships were able to catch tanks as easily as an eagle catching a rabbit.

Tank and armored forces require large formations in order to form a fist.

Azerbaijan's drones gave full play to the air superiority of "integrated surveillance and attack", while Armenia's tanks were like living targets, with no room to fight back. After being hit, they exploded instantly, and the entire crew reacted extremely tragically. The way of "sacrifice and martyrdom for the country".

…………

Air units perform three-dimensional maneuvers in the air. Tanks on the ground, no matter how large they are, can only perform two-dimensional maneuvers and are always on the passive side.

After the 21st century, drone technology exploded, making it easier and cheaper to deal with ground armor.

In the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the previous life, the world witnessed the shocking scene of drones "killing" ground armor through Tik Tok.

Moreover, according to Bunta Takakura's later memories, the status of main battle tanks in the 21st century is similar to that of heavy cavalry in the 19th century.

Useful, but unlikely to play a decisive role on the battlefield like during the Crusades.

This is a tactic that only world-class powers can afford, and Mimihaki PMC obviously cannot afford it.

The characteristic of Steel Torrent is that it requires a proportionate investment, especially the larger the organization, the higher the investment and the stronger the combat effectiveness.

哪怕是德国的豹2A7V、俄罗斯T-90MS坦克、美国的M1A2主战坦克、以色列梅卡瓦主战坦克，这种甲弹对抗的顶峰坦克，也有大量的无人机飞炮塔、开罐头、翻车殉爆等短视频。

Since the death of the Red Empire, the Army has slowly become a stepmother.

It's not even as good as a rabbit. Rabbits can still get into holes and hide, but huge and heavy tanks, without air cover, have almost become "living targets" with no way to escape.

During the Gulf War, many of the oceans of tanks that Saddam’s regiment was proud of had no chance of directly encountering the opponent’s ground troops, and were easily turned into a “tank graveyard” by the US air power.

The Red Earth Continent used to develop tanks every ten years, but after the Type 10, no new tanks were developed.

Instead, a lot of money and energy were invested in the development of drones, precision-guided artillery shells, and highly mobile truck guns, returning to "cannon doctrine."

According to the judgment of various countries, it will be difficult for large-scale tank battles like Kursk to occur in future wars. Therefore, tank research and development is no longer the main line of each country's technology tree.

The United Kingdom, the country that first invented and used tanks, directly gave up the research and development and production of tanks...

…………

Artillery in the Ukrainian War once again proved the status of the god of war.

例如：2014年7月11日凌晨4:30左右，乌克兰第24和72机械化步兵旅、第70空中突击旅多个营的混成车队在泽列诺皮尔利亚遭到短暂、密集而突然的炮击。

The bombardment lasted only three minutes. Under the precision guidance attack assisted by drones, a heavy armored battalion of the 79th Brigade was completely wiped out, destroying 48 tanks, 11 armored personnel carriers, and 5 tracked vehicles. command vehicle...

....................................

Bunta Takakura's strategic core idea for Mimihaji PMC Company is to "gather quickly, attack quickly and withdraw quickly, focus on prevention and control, and hide troops from the people."

Therefore, in the weapons purchase list of the North Country, tanks, armored vehicles, military vehicles and other vehicles were abandoned, and they were prepared to take advantage of Japan's developed automobile industry and use heavy-duty pickup trucks, large SUVs, and off-road vehicles from Toyota, Honda, and Nissan as transportation vehicles and Command vehicles.

采购了大量的RPG-7反坦克火箭筒、SA-18针式防空导弹、BM-21“冰雹”多管火箭炮、SM-240（郁金香）迫击炮、2S1式（康乃馨）自行榴弹炮。

Looking at this revised purchase order, even though Bunta Takakura was mentally prepared, his eyelids still jumped. This arms business is really not for ordinary people.

…………

On the last day of negotiations, Takakura Bunta tried his best and proposed an increase of US$3500 million per battalion, and purchased equipment based on US$1 million per battalion.

However, the technical data of these weapons need to be transferred, and production lines for RPG-7 anti-tank rocket launchers, SA-18 needle air defense missiles, and BM-21 "Hail" multiple rocket launchers need to be established in Hokkaido.

…………

Shaokegu and others hesitated.

At the critical moment, Bunta Takakura made another heavy move.

According to the employment agreement of the technical consultant, an intermediary fee of 20 rubles is added for each technical non-commissioned officer introduced. This separately signed contract is paid into the private accounts of Shaokegu and the four officers in his team.

He handed Colonel Shaokegu a Citibank check with a face value of 100 million U.S. dollars, and each of the other four accompanying officers received a check of 50 U.S. dollars.

…………

Gao Cangbunta's condition made Shao Kegu's eyes light up.

A young soldier dressed as a school officer looked at the check in his hand and said hesitantly: "This is not good..."

Shaokegu put the check away and said dissatisfied: "Stotorkov! If you don't take it, how can I get it?!"

"If I don't take it, how can Defense Minister Sergey take it? If Defense Minister Sergey doesn't take it, how can President Yelit take it?!"

“If the President and the Department of Defense don’t take it, how can you and I progress?!!!”

The other three officers also cast dissatisfied looks at Stetorkov, and Stetorkov could only accept the check angrily.

Takakura Bunta looked at the young officer named Stetorkov in front of him, who had a trademark mustache.

This is the famous "Si Yuefei" in later generations...

After feeding Shaokegu, the subsequent business will be easier to negotiate.
