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

Chapter 489 Arriving at Xila, purchasing goods (asking for monthly tickets!)

The renovation will be completed around next month, and various projects on Xia Yu's side also need to keep up.

As for the Petrel, which he took over from Paul a year ago, and the Vulcan oceanographic research team, they are now in the Pacific Ocean, continuing their previous research projects, searching for Japanese and Magnesian ships that sank during World War II.

Of course, many ships sank in the Dongnan Ya area, but the problem is that the pirates in this sea area are very troublesome.

Paul funded several scientific expeditions of the Petrel in the area in previous years and hired the private maritime security company PMSC, which has now been transferred to Boss Xia, who directly rejected the budget request for this part of the scientific expedition team.

This is a joke. The boss's main business is PMC. It is not normal to hire outsiders for the security work of his own company.

Xia Yu asked them to float near the Pacific Ocean first, postpone the plan of traveling to Southeast Pass, and wait until the modified Tenacity-class was officially delivered to the Asian branch, and then coordinate deployment after it formed combat effectiveness.

After completing this deployment, the Vulcan marine scientific research team will officially move to Afika and focus its work on the Atlantic and Mediterranean fronts.

Many good things were sunk in the European battlefield, but the Haiyan's previous home port was Seattle, and all the achievements were made in the Pacific battlefield.

Now that Xia Yu has taken over, the home port has become Kongluga, which is a good opportunity to change direction.

By the way, the boss can also use this escort to upgrade his Nautilus. Xia Yu has already dismantled all the parts that can be dismantled from the accessory boat, and then repaired it to make it look brand new. He is just waiting for the Argus Worker Rov unmanned submersible from the Haiyan to be obtained so that he can carry out the modification and upgrade.

Can a submarine without a robotic arm be called an exploration vessel?

Definitely not. Xia Yu can withstand hundreds or thousands of atmospheres of pressure and collect them with his body, but releasing tons of air around him is too embarrassing. It would be better to use a robotic arm to pick it up and establish a bioelectric current channel to collect it.

He had experimented with this, manually collecting vehicles and raw materials because hands are the most convenient, and any part of the body will do, and non-insulating materials can be used to extend the collection.

The problem is that it is of no use on the surface. It is only needed in special environments such as space and the seabed.

Going into space may be far away, but fishing under the sea is not difficult. The platform boat he used for modification is ready, and now he is just waiting for the large-scale unmanned submersible.

But we have to wait until Xia Yu returns from Magnesium, which is about half a year.

Before that, he had to go to Europe to import the goods.

After talking about work, Xia Yu hung up the phone, thought for a while, dialed a few numbers, and arranged his next itinerary.

"…This is the situation. Liv and I have to retreat first."

Xia Yu found Hans and told him about the situation.

"Understood. We have almost confiscated all the remaining weapons and equipment and enriched uranium in Marzuq. After you leave, we will move to Kufra and Ajdabiya to carry out the next step of work."

Hans nodded and said.

One quarter may not be enough for the remaining work of the Libya deployment, but half a year is too long. Four to five months should be more appropriate.

At that time, Xia Yu will lead the team to Asia, and Hans will receive the equipment and new players back to Kongluga.

"According to the known intelligence, there may be an arsenal in each of these two provinces. It doesn't have sensitive equipment like the Scud, so it shouldn't be difficult to find. Keep an eye out for it. I'll leave Afika to you for now."

Xia Yu continued to remind.

The situation in Libya has been successfully opened up, and as the boss he no longer has to keep an eye on the front line, and can focus on other businesses.

The second child was twins, so Boss Xia was under a lot of pressure to make money.

"Wow~Wow~~"

Less than a week later, the Chinook picked up the couple and the Fisher was ready to go at Jufra Air Base.

During the window period before the National Army launched a full-scale offensive and before Tuerqi strengthened the National Unity Government again, Old Yev went to Zhongfei.

As a result, the two were unable to meet, and it might be another year and a half before they meet again. This is the life of a private military contractor, running around the world all year round, going wherever there is a conflict, and it is normal for them to be apart more than together.

"Om~~"

The black-gray painted Airbus A-319 soared into the sky and flew towards the Mediterranean Sea under the escort of an F-16.

The Mediterranean Sea is 1800 kilometers wide from north to south, but the horseshoe bat only flew half of that distance, 900 kilometers, before returning. It was not because the red fighting falcon did not have enough fuel, but because it could not fly any further.

Europe is not Afica. The airspace there is strictly controlled. If you try to force your way in before it is open, you may be shot down by a few anti-aircraft missiles.

Xia Yu flew a few times in the early days of his business, mostly at ultra-low altitudes, but that was very fuel-consuming, and without a subspace fuel tank it would be impossible to do so.

Now that the company has developed, he has two private jets and has established extensive connections, so he doesn't have to live like before.

After the Fisher flew over the Mediterranean Sea and entered the airspace of Athens, the contact tower landed directly in Athens.

Yes, Xia Yu’s destination for this trip is Xila.

The first time he knew about this country was when he was a child, he watched cartoons such as "Hercules" and "Olympus", and first learned about the mythology of ancient Xila, and then learned about it incidentally.

Later, about ten years ago, I learned that this was a bankrupt EU country, and then I learned about their conflicts with local chickens. It was not until today that I set foot in this ancient country for the first time.

"When I was in school, I said I would travel to Xila with my classmates, but now I am a mother."

Liv put on sunglasses and said while touching her belly.

"To be more precise, I'm a mother of three children. Honey, how do you feel about this country?"

Xia Yu asked his wife.

“It has a very heavy sense of history, and the number of refugees is really large.”

Liv said as she looked at the Arab and Filipino faces outside the car window.

Black people prefer to go directly to the United States, while those from the Middle East prefer Germany. Xila is just their first stop after entering Europe. However, even so, the security of the Novice Village has been messed up by illegal immigrants.

"There's nothing we can do. Europe is too close and Magnesium is too far away. Crossing the Mediterranean will cost you half your life, and crossing the Atlantic will kill you."

Xia Yu understands this choice of proximity very well, and this is also what Lao Mei wants to see.

"Then we can only hope that they stay in the big cities. Germany cannot lose its last piece of pure land."

Liv said with a sigh, shaking her head.

No matter which country it is, the countryside is the last pure land. She couldn't imagine that the Mecklenburg countryside would also fall.

Fortunately, those who receive welfare and want to work only have opportunities in big cities.

"Sir, and ma'am, we're at the hotel."

The car drove into the hotel parking lot and the two got out with their luggage.

Xia Yu did not bring anyone from the headquarters, and Erwin personally led the team from the European branch. A total of five people worked together to ensure the safety of the couple while they were in Europe.

Well, two snipers are responsible for staying behind. "If we had a yacht, we could live directly in the port, but this thing is too expensive, it's really not necessary."

Xia Yu and his wife said as they swiped their cards to enter the presidential suite on a high floor of the hotel.

Compared with luxury yachts, he still prefers submarines. Even if it has added exploration and scientific research elements, like the Octopus, it is better to buy the Petrel directly.

After Paul's death, Jody also took care of his brother's super yacht, and it will be put up for sale after the interior upgrades are completed.

If Xia Yu is interested, he can definitely buy it at a cheap price, but he is not born to ride a yacht, so let's leave it to someone who is destined to have it!
"Yeah, I don't like that either."

Liv agreed. She had a fear of the deep sea and even if she was not pregnant, she would not go on board with Xia Yu for the second half of the year's deployment.

"It's enough that you like flying. When the second and third children are born, I will take you to a good place."

Xia Yu kept it a secret.

What he called a good place was the cave sub-base. This facility was originally planned to be open to the public internally. After all, he could not manage such a large base by himself.

The real backup is the bunker buried deep underground and powered by a nuclear reactor.

A lot of equipment that cannot be seen in public will be moved to the bunker, and the vacant cave base will also be stationed with a squadron of four Ultimate Phantoms.

With system optimization, the modernized product of this cancelled project has comprehensive combat capability that is stronger than the Tomcat. It is also the main model of Jihuo Defense after the improved F-16. It can be deployed on land or on ships.

It just takes time, even 30 years won’t be too late.

"Okay, just us, no kids."

Liv is determined to be a good mother, but it is impossible for her to devote all her time to her children.

Everyone only lives once, and she wants to spend more time with her husband!
"Of course, just the two of us."

After talking about this, the two put their luggage away and went downstairs to eat.

Xia Yu came to Xila to purchase goods. Tuerqi has F-16s, but Xila next door also has F-16s.

Many military fans want to see the outcome of the competition between the Turkic War Falcon and the Xila Falcon, especially after Turkey rejected the other party's application to purchase the F-35.

However, because of their repeated changes, Lao Mei kicked Tuji out of the Feidian plan.

By preventing others from buying it, he ended up being unable to buy it himself and could only continue researching his own fifth-generation fighter jet - the Khan.

Not only does it look like the F-22, but its engine is also from the F-16. To be honest, there's a lot of water in the self-developed model!
Following the duel between the Fighting Falcons, Xia Yu is also looking forward to the outcome of the battle between Khan and Fat Electric. Since the local chicken is so disobedient, will the Chinese use a trick to drive away the wolf and swallow the tiger?

There is a high probability that he would do so. At least he would do so. He doesn't have to pay anything and can disgust the people of Tu'erqi to death. Why not do it?

"In addition to the F-16, the Xila people also have the old F-4E. No matter how poor they are, they cannot be poor in national defense. Their F-4E can fire AIM-120 medium-range missiles. The life of the fuselage is a bit shorter, but the performance is definitely good enough."

While eating, Xia Yu talked to his wife about the purpose of this trip.

His purpose of coming to Xila this time was to solve the problem of purchasing the two fighter jets at the same time. It would be too troublesome to go to several countries separately, and we don’t have that much free time.

The most important thing is that both fighter jets of Xila people are active models. After he purchases them and dismantles all the equipment, they can be delivered directly to customers.

"My dear, don't all fighter jets owned by the people of Magnesium have to be weaponized? The fire control radars have to be removed. Isn't that a waste of the high-performance F-4 you bought?"

Liv asked clearly.

"It's not a waste. It would have been like you said a few years ago. The problem is what era we are in now. There are so many PMC companies in Magnesium that provide imaginary enemy services, but their fighter jets are not weaponized."

Xia Yu explained for his wife.

The Germans have a very rigid way of thinking; rules are dead, but people are alive.

With the emergence of companies like Tac Air, the old regulations can only restrict individual buyers but not institutions and companies.

Buyers who hope that the products are original and do not want their striking capabilities to be castrated can directly choose dealers to hold the products on their behalf, and then join the company and get a salary of $1. Isn’t that enough?

This was not Xia Yu's idea, but Thompson's. No wonder he was able to become a major general and then the CEO now. The idea in this smart man's mind is Doha!
"Can you still play like this?"

Liv's eyes widened, and she was completely stunned.

"It's reasonable and legal, what's wrong with that? And the planes are not expensive. Do you think the rich can afford one for Magnesium and one for Afica?"

Xia Yu continued to ask.

The one from the United States only retains the strike capability, and there are still many restrictions on its ability to fire live ammunition, but with a transatlantic flight to Afika, there are enough missiles and rockets to hit you until you vomit.

"So when we purchase aircraft, we have to buy high-performance versions of these older aircraft, so we can save money on upgrading the avionics."

After listening to her husband's lectures, Liv finally realized that this is the world of capital, and having money can really do a lot of things.

Xia Yu also went a step further based on the Thompson plan, trying to get the same customer to buy two identical fighter jets and earn twice the profit.

This is the level that only a gold medal salesperson can achieve. To make a company bigger and stronger, having a gold medal salesperson boss is the foundation. Mr. Xia meets this requirement perfectly.

"So dear, how many are you going to buy this time?"

Liv asked the most important question.

"It's a rare trip, so we should buy double-digit F-16s and F-4s. The 1.15 million from the Tuaregs may not be enough. The first payment from the EU and the UN, plus the cash from the museum, to million euros will not be a problem."

Xia Yu said confidently.

This American equipment is more expensive than the Soviet equipment, not to mention that these are all active models.

He bought dozens of second-hand cars and even spent a fortune on a luxury yacht.

"Don't you want to buy the Mirage 2000-5?"

Liv had studied the equipment of the Xila Air Force in advance.

In addition to American aircraft, they also bought French aircraft. It was the Mirage 2000-5 that shot down the Turkish F-16D.

"No, our French aircraft business is only for target aircraft for now, and Bassi's batch is enough."

Xia Yu denied.

On the one hand, they are biting off more than they can chew. On the other hand, the French aircraft business in Magnesium is owned by two other PMC companies. Even if Jihuo Defense relies on its relationship with the United States to get cheap Mirage 2000s, it will not be able to sell them.

As for his hometown, it also needs an imaginary enemy. The ultimate modification of A-Lian's Mirage 2000-9 is more suitable, so he will not get involved. He will just focus on American and Soviet second-hand sales.
