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

Chapter 505 Temporary Return to the Philippines, Fat Electric Falls

Xia Yu answered without a single mistake.

Pirate groups like Abu Sayyaf, which are anti-government armed forces with a strength of several thousand people, are more difficult to deal with than small and medium-sized groups.

If they only had one ship, even if they were equipped with a variety of vehicles, it would be difficult to completely wipe out an opponent of this level, but it would be no problem to chop off their outstretched claws.

"Yes, as long as they don't come to Malacca to cause trouble, it will be a headache for Malay, Indonesia and the Philippines, and has nothing to do with us."

Chief Wang also stated their bottom line. Although Xixian County makes money by guarding the Malacca Strait, it can only guarantee the safety of this section. Even if they want to intervene in the pirate attacks on both sides of the strait, they are powerless.

"That's it, I have to go on a long journey during this period."

Xia Yu said goodbye and left.

The employees can rest in Xi County, but he, the boss, is not idle.

We took the Sherlock directly back to Afika and officially received the six upgraded Red Warthogs - A-6Bs.

The new vertical tail made of composite materials is larger than that of the single-seat Warthog, and the upgraded avionics system also gives the six modernized Warthogs all-weather combat capabilities.

Whether it is providing customized night combat services for tourists or providing night fire support for concentrated fire defense’s own use, they can do it all.

After watching the six red Warthogs parked in the special attack aircraft hangar, Xia Yu came to the eight containers stacked on the open space.

A good gun needs good bullets. The bullets here are all expired PGU-8/B depleted uranium bullets used by GAU-14 machine guns.

The shells that are older than him are not about to expire, but are completely expired. The 8 containers in front of him are just the second batch of 3000 million rounds of ammunition.

Xia Yu’s so-called hazardous materials harmless destruction factory is still on paper. In other words, no matter how good the ammunition is, why dismantle it?

You said expired ammunition is too dangerous, but we can refurbish it!
He reduced the propellant and refurbished the first batch of 500 million depleted uranium bombs delivered at the beginning of the year.

Full charge is too damaging to the gun barrel. Nowadays, one GAU-8 Gatling gun is scrapped as soon as it is destroyed. Reducing the charge can effectively increase the service life.

Xia Yu asked his employees to warehouse all eight containers first, and then put them all into the storage warehouse for further processing.

These were just incidental things he did during his return to Afika. His real purpose was to come back and unload the goods.

We flew back to Guo from Mary and then went directly to the high seas shooting range designated by the concentrated fire defense. The aircraft carrier museum has been in operation for more than a year and has sunk a total of 14 merchant ships and 4 frigates.

Their wreckage sank to the bottom of the sea less than 200 meters deep. Xia Yu dived to the bottom wearing a fully enclosed diving suit, directly collected a large amount of seabed mud and sand, and artificially created a big pit.

"Shua~~"

He just waved his hand and released the Yuguro with two submarines hanging on its left and right, filling the sand pit completely.

Because too little investment was made in naval warfare, the system only unlocked the default berth No. 1, and the harvest can only be transported one ship at a time.

However, the subspace garage can park double-trailer heavy trucks, and Xia Yu has also come up with new ways to use the subspace berth.

Compared with a 2000-ton heavy cruiser, a submarine of more than tons was no different from a hanging piece. He simply hung an old Meiss's Pufferfish-class submarine on the port side of the Haguro and a Japanese I- patrol submarine on the starboard side, and brought them back with two of them.

Xia Yu once tried to attach a third ship, but it just wouldn't fit in, so there was nothing else he could do.

After seeing that the highest point of the Haguro was level with the seabed, he released a large amount of mud and sand to submerge the ship and two boats.

Before finding a suitable place to store these collections, this sea shooting range with many shipwrecks on the seabed is the best location. We can just dig a hole and bury them.

After all, for such a big thing, the cave base can only accommodate one or two ships at most, so it is better to leave it on the seabed.

After confirming that nothing was missed, Xia Yu surfaced from the sea and prepared to fly back to Kongluga to see Lao Ke, Hans and the others.

But before the seaplane arrived, he received a phone call.

"What? You said that my car crashed in the sea?"

Because he was busy and had no time to go online, Xia Yu did not see the news that became a hot topic.

"Yeah man, they lost an F-35A that they assembled themselves, and both navies were deployed."

The person who called was Thompson. He and Xia Yu had a lot to talk about regarding fighter jets. Of course, they had to bring their partners along to share such good gossip.

Well, even their country's fighter jets.

It was Ben who assembled the plane, and Ben himself was the one who crashed it!
The accident with the magnesium army's fat electric car is a family disgrace that should not be made public. This time, the laughter is over.

"Is the pilot a novice?"

Xia Yu continued to ask.

Lao Tang's information channels are much better than the news, and he obviously knows more details.

"No, I heard the pilot was a 41-year-old third-class captain with 3200 flying hours."

A third-class air force colonel of the Air Self-Defense Force is a major. At this age, no matter which country's air force he is in, with this level of training, he is considered a veteran and should have no problems with his skills.

"You said it was evening?"

Xia Yu grasped the elements.

"Yes, I contacted a circle, and most people thought it was a case of spatial orientation disorder. They couldn't tell whether it was on the sea or in the air, so this guy crashed into the sea."

Thompson expressed the views of the old magnesium air force.

Except for cheating players like Xia Yu, almost all pilots have experienced flight illusions, especially at night, in complex weather conditions and over the sea.

The Japanese major’s buffs were fully stacked, and he couldn’t survive this disaster.

"I'm afraid he's starving. I heard that their flight crew kitchen only offers bread and rice, and each person has a fixed amount, so you can't take more."

Xia Yu added his speculation.

Flying a fighter jet is a very hard job and consumes a lot of physical energy. Even if you have a full meal before boarding the plane, you still have to have a midnight snack when you get back.

But the Air Self-Defense Force is very strange. They bought so many fighter jets worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but chose to save money on their lips.

There was once an incident where a third-class air force pilot named Sado was suspended for 10 days for eating bread and natto. This time he fainted from hunger and crashed the plane. The status of these pilots is really low.

During World War II, they were well fed and well provided for. It was only at the very end that the cabin door of the Sakura Special Attack was welded shut and the fixed landing gear was removed and used as consumables.

In this peacetime, they are not fed enough, and a crashed fighter plane can feed an entire squadron of pilots with beef and Ise lobster until they die. It's really hard to fathom the consequences!

"Well, you have successfully awakened my most painful memory. During my time in Japan, I went to the Air Self-Defense Force base for an exchange. Their food was not only unpalatable but also small in quantity. During that time, I bought a suitcase of local cup noodles."

Thompson spoke directly from his own experience, saying that the Japanese were not only harsh on their own people, but they also didn't even give their own pilots any special treatment, forcing them to eat instant noodles at their own expense.

"Didn't you add anything to the noodles?"

"Yes, the eggs at the convenience store outside the base are pretty good, so does this guy have no money to give himself a snack?"

Maybe he really doesn't have any money. After all, he is in his forties and still a major. You know, it's relatively easy to get promoted in the Air Self-Defense Force!
"Let's not talk about that for now. Has the plane been salvaged from the sea?"

Xia Yu changed the subject. He was more interested in the F-35A now, or rather, no one was not interested.

When the United States crashed an F-14A, the Chinese used a trawler to fish the fuselage from the bottom of the sea, but the Chinese still snatched it back.

So what is the current situation of this fat electric machine?

"I'm trying to salvage it myself. I heard it was smashed to pieces, with parts scattered everywhere. The average depth of that sea area is 1500 meters, so salvaging it is quite difficult."

Thompson talked about what he knew.

After all, the F-35A is only a land-based model among the three electric aircraft. It cannot take off from a helicopter carrier like the F-35B, so it crashed near the coast of Japan.

It is very difficult for other countries to salvage the debris, and the ships of the Maritime Self-Defense Force and the Magnesium Army have blocked the crash area, so they can only salvage the debris by themselves.

Fortunately, we can also have a taste of the soup with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

As the owner of a PMC company with business relations with many countries, Xia Yu has access to Feidian, but in such a short time, he can only print a tire or a few heat-generating bombs at most.

And the most important thing is that these things cannot be seen in public, and he cannot explain how he got them.

But this time it is different. Even if we cannot collect all the "Cullinan fragments", as long as there is a piece of skin fragment sprayed with a new generation of stealth paint, professionals can analyze a lot of things.

Since the machine is broken into pieces, it would be nice to recycle it!

"Then I wish them good luck. Everything else is fine, but the black box needs to be salvaged."

Xia Yuyan said insincerely.

The impact force of hitting the sea was so great that the fuselage was shattered into pieces, and the black box that recorded various data was also in danger.

"Yes, this is their Unit-01. It was supposed to be a memorable piece of equipment, but it's a pity that it crashed like this."

Lao Tang felt that it would be better to smash the second unit than this one, but that's fate!

"Speaking of which, I'm going back to Singapore soon. Where are you now?"

Xia Yu asked about Thompson's recent situation.

"We should strive for orders from the Air Force. We have received orders from the Navy, but the Air Force still takes the lion's share."

Lao Tang transformed himself into a businessman and is busy with business.

The cooperation with Xia Yu gave him hope of becoming bigger and stronger. As the number of F-16C/D sold increased, he found that he could offset the leasing costs with managed maintenance, just like operating a business jet.

In this way, in addition to the F-5 fleet, their company also has a smaller fleet of Falcons, which is more powerful than its competitor F-16A/B.

The radar and fire control system have not been removed, so it can be used as a hypothetical enemy to provide confrontation training.

And with the F-18 Hornet that will be acquired later, Tac Air can definitely take the top spot among several PMC companies.

How can this not make a little old man in his 50s full of energy?

"I wish you good business, everyone is busy, so we will have to wait until next year to meet."

"Thank you for your good wishes. Even if we don't meet again next year, can't we still call each other this year?"

Lao Tang said a sentence in Chinese that he knew, and then smiled and said that we could still contact each other by phone.

"Yes, keep in touch."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu’s helicopter also landed in the village.

There was no room for maneuver in Bogo Village. Except for the people who stayed behind, Lao Ke, Hans, and the newly recruited people all went to the Anka Mechanized Brigade's base.

After receiving his graduation certificate, little Anka was officially promoted to the rank of brigadier general and took up the post of brigade commander after the old battalion was expanded into a brigade.

It is too scary to be promoted to major general at the age of less than 30. It won't be too late to be promoted to brigadier general after two or three years.

The field training ground near the Anka Mechanized Brigade’s headquarters has undergone facility upgrades and is well-equipped for deployment. So the training ground, which will last for nearly half a year, will naturally be held there.

It just so happened that Hans had a ready-made team of instructors for a batch of Marder S30, BTR-82S, and T-64B1M that he was delivering on behalf of the company.

Having the former members of the Anka Armored Infantry Battalion to guide the new recruits is ultimately not as good as the hands-on teaching of these foreign instructors. These recruits who have just graduated from college and high school are eagerly absorbing knowledge that can improve their own class.

Being a soldier in Guo is not a good choice, but technical branches, especially the armored soldiers of the Konglugaanka family, are definitely good jobs that these graduates are scrambling for.

After serving for three to five years, you will be assigned a job after you are discharged. Whether it is the village protection team of Jihuo Defense or the companies that Xia Yu and Lao Anka cooperate with, the salary and benefits are among the best in the country.

So between driving an armored vehicle and wearing a suit, they all chose to become armored soldiers.

"Only good treatment can attract real talents, but only a population that is about to exceed 100 million can support enough high-quality soldiers."

At the brigade headquarters of the Anka Mechanized Brigade, Xia Yu and little Anka walked side by side.

Black people are really fertile. I remember when he first came to China, the country's population was less than 7000 million. After so many years, it has directly exceeded 9000 million and is heading towards 1 million.

The wars between Kongluga and Pannaka back then did not even reduce the population to zero, their fertility was really high.

Relatively speaking, the average life expectancy is not long, which is far from the statutory retirement age in most countries. People aged 65 and above only account for 2.9% of the total population.

"Yes, Mr. Sherlock, my father also said that the country should invest more in education, even if it is just to universalize 6-year compulsory primary education."

Little Anka said in approval.

Adults should receive literacy training even if they have missed the opportunity to receive education.

What future does a country have if all its citizens are illiterate and cannot even write their own names?

"Take your time. The population of Kongluga has exceeded 300 million this year. Councillor Anka needs to build more primary schools."

In the Black Sea country, not to mention the rural areas, the tribal population will spontaneously flock to the cities. When Xia Yu first came here, the population was just over 100 million, and it tripled in a few years.

Although the total number is less than Busa's 1200 million, the growth rate is frighteningly high.

Xia Yu can say without exaggeration that these are all changes brought about by concentrated fire defense.

Of course, there is also the inherent condition of Kongluga as a coastal city. In a few years, its population will double to 500 million.

If the supporting facilities are not built now, it will be too late later. Building a city is always easier than building an inland tribe. The Anka family must find a way to make some people rich first.

"I'll tell my dad, but Mr. Sherlock, are you leaving tomorrow?"

Little Anka asked Xia Yu.

He still had a lot to say to Uncle Sherlock.

"Yes, this time I came back temporarily. I will have to wait until Liv gives birth to the baby before I can come back next time."
