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

Chapter 540: Changes in the situation, new assets added
As the black swan event continues, the recovery of the international civil aviation industry is nowhere in sight, and major airlines have begun a second round of downsizing of their fleets, hoping to survive the long winter.

Xia Yu would certainly not miss such a good opportunity. As long as he had spare money, he would basically use it to purchase retired passenger aircraft of various models.

Those in poor condition will be dismantled and their parts will be recycled; those in good condition will receive basic maintenance and then be sealed up, to be sold at a good price later together with the batch of shells.

The combined profits are estimated to be able to make up for the losses he suffered from the museum tourism industry in the past two years.

For businessmen, less profit means loss, not to mention the stagnation of old projects and the postponement of new projects. As a result, Xia Yu suffered huge losses.

As for when the Cold War branch and the Aircraft Carrier Museum 2.0 upgrade will be launched, it depends on when Paramount releases "Top Gun II".

Anyway, Kongluga's Wanda Plaza is under construction. The movie has been postponed so many times, and the cinema built in conjunction with the business district can catch up with the global launch.

At that time, there will be a perfect opportunity to watch a movie and draw tickets for a Tomcat back-seat flight experience, which will definitely create a lot of heat.

That’s why we say we should look for opportunities in crises!
It is impossible to succeed if you only complain about everything.

After finalizing the matter with Eric, the two hung up the phone after a short chat, and Xia Yu continued to work.

This time he came here not only to release the stockpiled shells, but also to pick up some goods.

Marquez ordered two modified Hinds from Xia Yu, but the port warehouse didn't have any in stock, so they had to be modified and delivered immediately.

Xia Yu selected two Mi-24Ps from a group of old does, which were the versions equipped with twin-barreled GSh-30K machine guns.

How to say it, as a basic modified version with insufficient precision strike capability, the importance of caliber is highlighted, and it is more appropriate for them to use 30mm machine guns.

The simple inertial guidance rocket kit was ready-made. He had a double-digit stock of it and directly put two sets of four together with the aircraft into the modification laboratory. There were also shelf versions of the photoelectric ball and the Red Arrow-8 airborne kit...

“Mass modification!”

Select two aircraft for batch modification, and a progress bar will pop up.

[Estimated remaining hours of modification: 41.2]

Very good, it was less than two days. After returning, Xia Yu went to the port on the third day and pulled the two modified Hinds back to Bogo Village.

Mexico has pilots who can fly the Mi-8, and with a rocket pod installed, they can also launch a round of rockets at the drug cartel. As for the accuracy, don't even think about it, it's not much better than the country of Afica.

So Lao Ma directly recruited foreign aid from South America - two crew members from Brazilian Army Airlines.

As we all know, in 13, the Brazilians bought 12 AH-2 Sabre (limited edition Mi-35M) attack helicopters from Russia.

As a result, a group of crew members and logistics maintenance personnel were trained. Among these people, those who had retired or were about to retire were packed up and sent to Marquez to receive secondary training in concentrated fire defense.

The father and son were very cautious in choosing employees for their new company.

Mexicans are only recruited if they have a blood feud with local drug lords, while foreign aid is extended to the whole of South America.

Brazil's armed helicopter crew, Venezuela's loading and transport vehicle crew, Chile's infantry fighting vehicle crew, these experienced personnel can be used right away. If the Mexican Army wasn't so weak, Maradona wouldn't have to go to so much trouble to invite foreign aid.

However, a lot of training is required to make these foreign technical employees and domestic combat employees work in harmony. Aren’t their good days coming?

Xia Yu packed up the ground forces and threw them to the Anka Mechanized Brigade. Only two armed helicopter crews were left behind, and Lao Han and Andre were responsible for their training.

Xia Yu was busy with his own things until the special plane carrying the gold bricks arrived in Kongluga in late November, and the curtain came down on Lao Mei's side.

The real estate developer lost the election and was ousted after only one term. The ultimate winner was the living fossil of the Cold War.

"77 years old, isn't that too old? He can still stay lucid now, but he might get Alzheimer's disease in two years. Do the Chinese only choose old men?"

Looking at the news online, Hans, who had just returned from little Anka, couldn't help but complain.

"His partner, Haha, is quite young. She might have a chance to become the first female president."

Xia Yu was a little confused as to whether this lady was of Indian descent or African descent. Maybe she was a mixture of both. She would use whatever descent was needed.

"That could be a disaster. This woman supports LGBT, but it has nothing to do with us."

Hans spread his hands.

As a conservative, he hated the chaos in Europe, so he didn't even plan to let Dorothea return to Germany to give birth to the child. Instead, he wanted her to give birth in Kongluga and become an Afika.

Only in this way can boys still be boys, girls still be girls, and everything can still be normal.

"Liv and I support you and Dorothea. I'll let her deliver the baby herself when the time comes."

Xia Yu asked his wife for a job.

Although Liv is not a full-time obstetrician and gynecologist, this is Afika. She has rich experience in delivering babies over the years, so delivering her sister-in-law is just a piece of cake.

"Okay, we have a midwife, we just have to wait for this brat to come out."

Hans' tone was full of anticipation.

After the prenatal check-up, it was found that their first child was also a son.

"You should stay in Konglugado to accompany Dorothea for the time being. I have to go to Nizhil first."

Letting Hans stay at the headquarters, Xia Yu prepared to leave.

"Nijir? What do you mean..."

"Find El Mencho a job in a mine. The thing you want to do won't be advanced until next year, when the other party is off guard."

Xia Yu told his plan.

Following the clues, Xia Yu found Vlad all the way from El Mencho, but in order to avoid alerting the enemy, now is not a good time to take action.

So let's wait and find time to go to Roma Nyia tomorrow to completely settle this old grudge.

As for now, of course, the most important thing is to dig out the money in El Mencho's account.

He had already arranged this matter before returning to China, and he finally received the accurate news these two days.

"Om~~"

The Il-76MF carrying Xia Yu and El Mencho took off from Pointe Noire Airport and flew straight to Nizhir in the north.

"You like gold, don't you? My mining company basically only deals in uranium and oil fields. I took over a gold mine just for you. I hope you can dig out more gold."

Looking at El Mencho who was sitting opposite him, Xia Yu spoke.

"Can I buy shares? A monthly salary of $500 is too little these days. I didn't have such a hard time when I was selling avocados."

Lao Ai bargained.

"Of course, I know my money is no longer mine, but my daughter still has some clean money, and the share of the money after the investment will be given to her. I am an old man, and I only buy some insulin every month. How much money can I spend?"

As expected, his daughter is his true love, and he never even mentioned his son Menchito.

The main reason is that his son is involved in his business. His daughter is only temporarily detained by the Magnesian people. With the collapse of CJNJ, she can be released after paying enough bail. But his enemies and those greedy guys will never let her go, so this is why El Mencho has such a strong will to survive.

If he died, his daughter and the whole family would be truly hopeless.

But as long as he survives and saves his daughter, he can keep sending money to the prison to save the others.

As a traditional Mexican, family is what El Mencho values ​​most, and in this respect he is much better than Guzmán.

"So, you need a little boost?"

Xia Yu opened his mouth to confirm.

"Yes, everyone needs something to strive for! I will let Jessica invest $3000 million, just for 30% of the shares in the mine."

Lao Ai said frankly.

This is the only money left in the family. Even if it is only 30%, it is a trickle of dividends every year, not a savings that will be reduced by one dollar every time you spend it.

By the way, my daughter's safety is also guaranteed.

"As long as you accept the transformation, I agree to this deal."

Xia Yu hesitated for a few seconds before speaking.

That is El Mencho, and his conflict with the other side is limited to the employment of the old Ma and his son.

But if it were Vlad, even if he paid $3 million for his life, it would be useless.

He has become a dead man in futures trading in Xiayu, and now he is just waiting for the day of delivery next year.

"Oh, I'm only 54. I can still work for you for at least another 26 years."

El Mencho's attitude changed instantly. He no longer talked about treatment but only about dedication. But this guy was the same. He found different ways to wish himself a long life.

"Om~~"

The plane began to descend at this moment. Looking down from the porthole, I saw a large mining area surrounded by ton bags and barbed wire in the vast desert.

After circling once, the Il-76MF adjusted its attitude, opened its landing gear, and descended toward the dirt runway covered with sand and loose soil.

This four-engine heavy military transport aircraft can also take off and land in the field like a turboprop aircraft. Therefore, after obtaining the mining rights of this high-grade gold mine, Xia Yu dispatched personnel to build a matching earth runway.

It is considered a node for concentrated fire defense in Nizhir, and can store some target vehicles used in border abandoned mines.

After all, they need to use depleted uranium bombs. He will only send people there when the Cold War branch officially opens and there are orders. If not, they can just stay at the gold mine!
"boss!"

As soon as Xia Yu got off the plane, Maxim came over with a licking face.

Last month he was working well at Uranium Mine No. 2, but this month he was sent to Nizhir and became a member of the Losers Alliance.

"Reform yourself well. Your daughter is about to graduate from high school. Her grades are pretty good. I'll ask someone to write a recommendation letter for her to enroll in a good university."

He said, patting Maxim's shoulder.

Just like El Mencho said, there must always be some purpose in life. Desperate people will commit suicide without you having to do anything.

After seeing the real case, Lao Ai knew that he was right about Xia Yu.

It's true that this guy has killed people like crazy, but he's not the kind of murderer who enjoys killing. As long as he gives up resistance and chooses to cooperate with the other party, he will have a chance to survive.

Being principled is the most basic thing for a successful businessman.

Xia Yu has always had a good reputation. Even if he hadn’t obtained the system when buying fish that year, he would still have been successful.

But if you don't stick to principles, you may open Pandora's box and release the devil inside.

"Thank you, boss. This is the mine manager Elmencho, right?"

Maxim was happy to hear the news, but work came first. He was surprised that his boss had captured the leaders of drug lords to work for him. The business of Jihuo Defense was really extensive.

"Yes, that's him."

"Then let me take him to familiarize himself with the mine. I came here half a month in advance and have a better understanding of this gold mine."

Maxim took his boss away, which saved Xia Yu a lot of trouble.

By the evening, El Mencho wrote all the bank accounts and passwords on a piece of paper and officially handed it to Xia Yu.

The issue of capital injection will have to wait until his daughter Jessica is released. Xia Yu will ask Lao Ai then!
"Om~~"

In the darkness of the night, the Il-76MF soared into the sky and flew towards the neighboring Kidar Airport.

In the next few days, he moved all the clean money from these accounts to his own account, and transferred it to the DEA's designated account according to the previously agreed distribution method.

The remaining US$1.75 million is Xia Yu’s second and third dividends, and will also be used to wholesale the old passenger aircraft.

As for going to Afuhan to pick up bargains next year, he has prepared a special fund in advance and will not squeeze out this unplanned income.

However, just as Xia Yu spent New Year's Day in Kidar, he heard the news that a coup had broken out in neighboring Kenya Faso.

"It turned out to be him? No wonder!"

Seeing the familiar faces in the news, Xia Yu recalled the artillery lieutenant.

Of course, he is now a captain. When Colonel Ka came to power, he was a colonel. Now there is a trend of younger people, so lieutenants can take the position.

Perhaps the person who was overthrown was too unpopular, so this bloodless military coup was a great success and the former president fled in panic.

This also reminded Xia Yu of Mali's coup last year.

Afica is a place where there have been many coups, but the success rate is not very high. Now that the coups have been successful in Mali and Kenya Faso, they will inevitably bring about changes in the political landscape of the Sahel region.

This does not have a big impact on Jihuo Defense. After all, the contract signed by the previous term must be recognized by the next term.

In actual operation, ordinary enterprises may encounter some difficulties, but what PMC has in its hands is the truth. However, for the Chinese people, this is no less than the worst news.

In the past, the pretended elected governments of these Sahel countries needed their support, and they basically listened to them on all matters, big or small.

But if it is replaced by a serious strongman government, the probability of cooperating with them will suddenly become smaller.

Now it is only one or two countries, but in the future there will be three or four, and the entire Sahel region will be connected together, and we can basically declare that the Philippine Gendarmerie has been driven out of Afika.

Xia Yu's conjecture a few years ago is now being realized step by step. The Kingdom of Tai will also shrink like the Kingdom of Ying in the past. More players will flock to the huge Afika, making this ancient land lively again.

As Chinese people, if we have to say what common hobby we have, it must be watching the fun.

He could imagine how flustered Ma was at the moment. He was so proud and confident when he won the election, but now he was in such a mess. He took over a complete mess.
