Chapter 187 African War
Yuri put on an angry look: "Brother, a shell only costs 50 US dollars. There is no cheaper product in the world."

"And this is the last batch of goods. I managed to get the contract with great difficulty."

When Yuri was serving in the Marine Corps, he personally saved the life of "Ehardmann" once. The friendship between the two was by no means ordinary.

Erhardman has always supported Yuri's business, and Yuri also allowed Erhardman to pay in installments, which was a good political support for Erhardman. The two trusted each other very much. When Erhardman heard the price of a cannonball of 50 US dollars, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Which factory does the product come from at such a cheap price?"

"Fist Factory." Yuri said: "The most famous factory in China in the world."

“The stuff is good and cheap, you won’t be disappointed.”

As the Deputy Chief of Arms, Erhardman's responsibility is to raise supplies for the "EPF", but the weapons procurement in the first half of the year has ended. If he wants to increase the budget, he can only report it to the general commander, and the head of the EPF must personally approve it.

"I'll try my best, let's give it a try." He said aloud.

"Boss, Dressi placed an order of 2.4 million U.S. dollars, and Somalia placed an order of 500,000 U.S. dollars, all settled in minerals." Zhang Ziwen received a report from the business manager.

"Let the factory step up production and ship goods early."

There were only two orders when we first opened, which seemed a little less, but it was enough to open up the market.

"Yuri said that the EPF's military budget has been used up, and he will stay in Eritrea for a while to fight for new special funding." said his subordinate.

In addition, the factory cannot manufacture rifles. Even if they can be manufactured, the cost may be higher than the selling price of Soviet inventory.

Zhang Ziwen didn't mind and nodded: "Let him fight for it, but don't delay the shipping of Soviet goods."

Yuri's greatest value is to open air routes to the EU, not to promote products.

The market generally recognizes Soviet goods, and many African countries were former socialist partners and possess a large amount of Soviet-style equipment. Therefore, the main product currently positioned by the factory is artillery shells. It wants to rely on artillery shells to run the factory smoothly, and then gradually expand productivity, increase output, and increase product types.

For a long period of time, it is impossible for the factory's output to keep up with market consumption.

"clear."

Therefore, the factory's artillery shells are sold for sale, but Soviet goods are still the highlight.

If you buy the shells, you will definitely use them. As long as the effect is good, more and more customers will come to your door.
The customer resources accumulated by reselling Soviet goods in the past can be put to use. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the newly opened arms factory to get an order overseas.

The subordinate nodded.

A week later, Zhang Ziwen set off back to Hong Kong Island, transferred two financial officers from the head office, and went to the Djibouti factory to manage the accounts.

Weapons expert "Chen Shaozhong" serves as the factory director, Wang Jinjin is the second-ranking security minister, and the hired professional manager "Xu Qinyi" is the sales department, responsible for attracting customers in Africa and forming the management of the military factory. Yuri waited in Africa for half a month, but did not receive an order from the "Eritrea".

Erhardman's boss did not agree to purchase Riot's arms due to unknown origins and safety risks. In fact, he had his own interest partners and had no reason to cut out a piece of the cake.

Unable to hide his disappointment, Yuri had to leave Ezhou and go to Belarus to purchase arms, first completing the two-million-dollar Soviet-made order.

In the Kapanga region of Kasai Occidental Province, a Bantu armed rebellion emerged. The rebels took advantage of the tense relations between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda and successfully occupied many cities.

With Congo-Brazzaville behind them, the Bantu armed forces in the area had strong firepower. As the leader of Western Kasai, Dressi personally mobilized three regiments of heavy troops and marched quickly to Kapanga.

One of the elite regiments rushed straight to Kapanga from the provincial capital Ruyepo. One regiment was mobilized from the left side of Pankaja to step up support for Pankaja. The other regiment was detoured from the right to intercept the Bantu rebels. Army's retreat route.

This very standard dumpling-making tactic is undoubtedly a suggestion from the Chinese advisory group.

After the advisory group helped Drexy successfully encircle and suppress the rebels several times, he became more and more integrated into the local military system. Basically, he served as an independent staff group, advising Drexy during the war. To a certain extent, he was able to Influence the local situation through Dracy.

Although he has the status of "guest army", he also has the responsibility of "accompanying consultant". Colonels in the government army must salute when they see them, and ordinary officers regard them as nobles.

However, the plan encountered problems with the 18th Regiment deployed on the left. The 18th Regiment was intercepted by the rebels during the march and suffered heavy losses. They asked Dracy for help through a satellite phone.

Kasai Occidental Province has a total establishment of one division, with a total of five regiments. Before being promoted to lieutenant general, Dressy's actual position was the chief of staff of the division, and he could directly mobilize one regiment of troops.

Now that Dracy was also the division commander, he lost a regiment before he could reach Kapanga, which would definitely become a target for criticism by his political opponents. Dressy simply couldn't afford the loss and immediately led his elite regiment to the 18th regiment to support the battlefield.

"Captain", the Vietnam War company commander who served as the head of the military advisory group, immediately realized that the rebels were encircling the point for reinforcements.

Eliminate Dresi's military power. If Dresi's military strength is frustrated, he will most likely be transferred. Kasai Occidental Province will undergo political reshuffle again, and traitors may rise.

You must know that the invisible tribal system on the African continent has led to very unstable political systems, and the ethnic rebels have deep roots. The two sides always stumble upon each other, further exacerbating the instability in the political arena.

However, the "Captain" believed that with the strength of three regiments, a counter-siege could be carried out, so he suggested that Dracy, while leading the elite regiment to reinforce, telegraphed the 15th Regiment on the left supporting Kapanga to mobilize two companies and return. He surrounded the battlefield of the 18th Regiment.

Dressy had never fought such a detailed battle, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "In the Raqqa town area where the 18th regiment was trapped, there was a full regiment of rebels occupying the surrounding mountain highlands."

"If you eat it forcefully, I'm afraid Kapanga will fall."

According to intelligence, the rebels only have one reinforced regiment at most. It is impossible for the enemy to place one regiment in Raqqa Town and another in Kapanga. Therefore, the captain judged that the enemies outside Pancajia had already moved. Currently, only a small force was bluffing, and they had no ability to capture the city.

On the contrary, by dragging the strength of the two regiments in Raqqa town, Kapanga is more likely to fall politically. This is the time to test a commander's decision-making ability. In addition, tough battles are never fought in Africa. If a regiment of troops occupies the high ground, it will take at least three regiments to capture it!
