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

Chapter 547: Personally come to the door, good news comes (ask for the upcoming monthly ticket!)

Of course, they don’t go there directly. Cargo ships with their destination set at Yilan will be closely monitored, and most of these transactions go through third countries.

Like the Airbus A340-600 delivered earlier, it was a second-hand passenger plane snatched from Marli Airlines by Post agents who caused a commotion at the Modi Bocheita International Airport. It had nothing to do with Jihuo Defense.

This scenario is repeated almost every year, and the Chinese are powerless to do anything about it.

However, this technique is only necessary for passenger planes because they are large targets, but there is no need to make such a big fuss for helicopters.

The cargo ship went around the Cape of Good Hope, through the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf to arrive in Yilako. Employees from the Jihuo Defense Logistics Department then flew over to assemble it into a finished product, which was then flown back to Yilako by the other side's pilots.

At this point, the entire delivery process is completed.

At the beginning, the boss Xia Yu did not need to take action personally, but since the Cold War living fossil announced in April that he would officially withdraw troops from Afghanistan in May and issue an order to complete the withdrawal before September, big news has appeared in that direction one after another.

He planned to lead the team himself and go to Yilakou first to see the development of the situation up close.

Because the troops were just waiting and observing, there was no need to mobilize all the air transport resources for the equipment. A part of them was sent to Yilako on the same cargo ship as the batch of helicopters in the name of industry exchange.

The remaining An-124s will be assembled to set off together with the Il-76MF.

"Om~~"

Time quickly came to mid-May. In the cabin of Sherlock, a family of five and uncle Hans were floating and doing the space walk.

My aunt Dorothea stayed in Kongluga to give birth because she was getting older, so she did not come with us on this trip to the Middle East.

After Hans, who is about to become a father, finishes his work with Yilako, he has to come back with his sister to accompany the birth. By then, Xia Yu will be left alone to take care of the three children.

This is a challenge for him, but fortunately he can let the older ones manage the smaller ones, and then he can manage the older ones.

“It’s really fun, but it consumes too much fuel!”

Hearing the fuel alarm, Hans grabbed the ring on the bulkhead with one hand and grabbed his nephew's collar with the other, and said with emotion.

From climbing to diving, each cycle of staying in the air for dozens of seconds would burn several tons of jet fuel. Even though his net worth exceeded 10 million, he still felt it was very expensive.

Sure enough, only wealthy people like my brother-in-law can afford it.

"The fuel consumption is indeed a bit high, which is why we want to build our own refinery. But now that jet fuel is cheap, it doesn't matter if we burn a little more."

Due to the impact of the black swan event on the civil aviation industry, the global consumption of jet fuel is also continuing to decrease, but refining one ton of crude oil will produce varying amounts of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel...

So you can't just have gasoline and diesel, the extra jet fuel will naturally fall in price.

It is hard to imagine that jet fuel now costs less than $300 per ton, which is cheaper than bottled mineral water.

However, this is only temporary. The day the civil aviation industry recovers, prices will go up, so it is very necessary to prepare for the refinery in advance.

Xia Yu doesn't want to use jet fuel at a high price of $1000 per ton.

Cars have new energy sources that can save costs, but fighter jets and transport planes really don’t.

As for the fact that burning oil is not environmentally friendly, you can blame other rich people, but you can't blame him for being a weasel.

There are so many oil-consuming vehicles throughout the company. For every ton of carbon dioxide emitted, Xia Yu uses the system to recycle two tons. He seals the remaining waste on the seabed. It can be said that no one is more environmentally friendly than him.

Outside the cabin, a C-135FR approached the Il-76MF.

When the Sherlock was modified, the issue of endurance was taken into consideration in advance, so a hard tube refueling port like the C-130 was transplanted on the back of the aircraft.

Now that the refueling sleeve has been pushed in, the fuel level of the Il-76MF, which has descended to the warning line, is rising rapidly again, enough for them to fly to Yelak.

This trip to the Middle East was said to be for industry exchanges, but the main reason was that after the elimination of ACE, the Middle East has not ushered in true peace.

Just like the current situation in Yilako, there are still warlords fighting, sectarian conflicts and a chaotic situation, so the PMC business is still very hot.

Even if Xia Yu himself doesn't come this time, he has to send a digital team with a village protection infantry platoon.

After all, it is a huge order for the delivery of 100 helicopters and crude oil worth hundreds of millions of dollars!

If someone robbed him, Xia Yu would be so embarrassed.

Soon, Sherlock landed at Basra International Airport.

His goods had been unloaded at the port and were waiting to be loaded onto trucks and escorted to a small town in the border area.

"Wow~Wow~~"

Under the escort of an armed version of the AS 550, the family of five transferred to an assembled Bell 429 and arrived at their destination first.

"Dad, why does this place feel no different from Kidar?"

After getting off the helicopter, Xiao Youzi asked as he stepped on the hot sand.

“The Middle East is a vast desert. No matter if there was no oil under the ground before World War II, after World War II, no one would want to come to this barren land anyway.”

Xia Yu said with emotion.

But who made Pearl chase after him for food?

With as many as 98% of the wells being self-flowing, how can we say that our hometown, which only has 10% of the wells, is in a very bad condition?

"How long will we stay in Yilaq? There are planes in Kidar, but there is nothing here."

Children are just interested for only three minutes at most. He doesn't understand why his father came here.

"About two or three months. The details will depend on the people in China."

According to the intelligence obtained by Xia Yu, since May, the magnesium army has sent off hundreds of military transport aircraft of various types to evacuate people and equipment from Afghanistan.

Of course, all the people must be taken back with them, and as for weapons and equipment, of course, they should be taken with them if possible, and those that cannot be taken away should be destroyed on the spot according to the usual practice.

They already have 1300 pieces of equipment on the destruction list, and this number will rise in the future. After all, this feast has lasted for almost 20 years, and many inconsistent accounts need to be settled.

The real estate developer who just stepped down at the beginning of the year sent an audit team to check the accounts, but nothing was found. The current complete withdrawal means that bygones are bygones, but that’s where it ends.

Of course, in addition to the evacuation of the magnesium army, the thousands of private military contractors who depend on them for survival must also evacuate. Only the local people who depend on them for survival will truly have no way to retreat.

The big fish can escape, but the small fish that can't even get a passport won't get a ticket to evacuate Afghanistan.

Their fate can be known by referring to the Saigon moment decades ago. If they can't get on the plane, they can't go to Magnesium to open a Vietnamese noodle shop. They can only take a hit from Saigon, be thrown off the plane and wait to be liquidated.

"Dip~dip~dip~~"

In the next few days, the employees had just assembled half of the helicopter when Xia Yu's satellite phone suddenly rang.

“Thompson?”

After seeing the caller ID, he answered the call and spoke.

"Sherlock, where are you now? I'm just a middleman. Someone wants to hire Fire Defense."

Thompson identified himself as the broker in the call.

"It can't be related to Afuhan, right?" Xia Yu asked with some speculation. This is the hottest topic right now, not to mention that the other party found him through Lao Tang.

"That's right. It's about evacuation. The time given by the higher-ups is not enough. We don't have enough time to evacuate the last Magnesium citizen before September."

Thompson complained.

"So they are looking for Focus Defense because they want to..."

Xia Yu further confirmed.

Concentrated fire defense usually only takes on jobs from government forces, or in other words, they only stand on the side of the victor.

The combat effectiveness of the government forces of the Afika country is poor, but at least it can still stabilize the situation. The anti-government armed forces that cause trouble will either be eliminated or recruited.

But the government forces of Afghanistan are no different from puppet troops. Even with the support of the Chinese people, they can't accomplish anything. Now that the Chinese army has withdrawn, the outcome is basically doomed.

It must be stated that it is impossible for Concentrated Fire Defense to stand on their side and fight against the new government forces.

"Don't worry, I'm just responsible for security and handling some of the bad assets."

Thompson said with a smile.

The people of Magnesia know how to do business. Since they are going to withdraw anyway, the things they cannot take away will be left to Tata as agreed, and the things that are not included in the agreement will be destroyed as planned.

As for the destruction before evacuation, there is no need to take videos to leave any traces, as long as it is recorded on file as having been destroyed, it will be fine.

Then, using these "scrap metal" as the cost, hiring private military contractors to ensure safety during the evacuation process can be considered a good deal.

In the past, they always gave priority to their own people, and they would not hire PMC companies that were not from a Magnesium background. But this time, those PMC companies would have to withdraw with them, and they could only hire outsiders to do the job.

After taking stock of all the famous PMC companies in the world, Gna was the first one to be passed.

However, with a Chinese background and a Chinese boss, located in Afika, and with global deployment capabilities, Jihuo Defense has become a good choice.

The Army had previously cooperated with the other party, the Navy had also had transactions with them, and the Air Force even had its own PMC company to guarantee it.

Not to mention that they also have a branch in Magnesium, so it must be this Jihuo Defense!

Hence Thompson's call, but when it comes to business, bargaining is still necessary.

"To be honest, I'm in Yilako right now! I've always been paying attention to Afuhan's affairs, but I can also buy these non-performing assets from the other party when the time comes."

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Yu began his performance.

"Thompson, you know, in addition to the strike force, I also have a large logistics team that specializes in the repair and maintenance of weapons and equipment."

"Unless it's completely broken, my people can fix it. If that doesn't work, we can just take apart the parts!"

He is trying to lower the price, and this is also what he really thinks.

The purchase price of broken equipment is cheaper, and the money to offset the good equipment is higher. Moreover, if he wants to take away the equipment, he has to borrow the face of his hometown, so this actually makes the magnesium people profit.

They know how to do business, and Xia Yu is not bad either. You can destroy the equipment as you like, but he wants real money anyway, and he must get a share of the $2 trillion.

"Sherlock, you're right to think so. Equipment and other things are all virtual. It's useless if you can't take them away. Only US dollars are real."

Lao Tang also said with a smile.

As a middleman, he had no interests in Afuhan, so he naturally chose to stand on the side of his friend.

Even if Xia Yu couldn't see this, he would remind him, but this guy was as cunning as a weasel and saw through it without him having to say anything.

"Thompson, I'll have to trouble you to negotiate this matter with them..."

"It's no trouble for you to talk to my friend. Just wait for my good news!"

Lao Tang said that he would take care of the matter.

Having failed to make a fortune in Afuhan, he decided to start his own business after retirement. He was very interested in making those big rats bleed.

After hanging up the phone, time quickly came to mid-June, and Xia Yu finally completed the delivery of the last helicopter.

Coincidentally, Thompson also received a reply indicating that everything had been settled.

The other side hired concentrated fire defense until early September, when the last magnesium citizen was evacuated.

The total offer was $1 million. They still destroyed the equipment in the previous conditions as planned, and the "wreckage" offset $2000 million. The other party only needed to pay $8000 million in cash.

How can I put it? It has to be the Chinese. They gave 3 million US dollars in less than 1 months. It is mainly for security work. They are much more generous than the Chinese.

Is this the difference between being able to harvest the world and only being able to harvest Afika?
But this time Xia Yu was able to get one in 20,000! He used his strength and luck to get lucky.

This contract is not written on any paper, but the first installment of 50 million has already been deposited into the account of Jihuo Defense. This time, neither party is afraid that the other party will default on the payment.

In this case, what else is there to say? The concentrated fire defense was like a machine running at full capacity. The personnel and equipment that Xia Yu brought to Yilako were first pulled to Afuhan by An-124.

This movement was noticed by the Persian, and his satellite phone started ringing immediately.

"Mr. Sherlock, is your company going to Afuhan?"

Bearded Alireza came up and asked Xia Yu.

"Yes, what's the problem?"

He had already guessed something. Judging from the degree to which the Persians were coveting American equipment, they might want to do business with him again.

The distance is close, and we can trade just by crossing the border.

"No problem, here's the thing..."

After Alireza's explanation, it turned out to be almost the same as Xia Yu's guess.

They hope that Jihuo Defense will get something good and get priority purchasing rights.

If you ask why the Persians don't buy goods from Tata, what's the use of equipment that has been destroyed once by the US military? What they want is equipment that can still be used normally.

This can only be solved by Jihuo Defense. They have a lot of connections and can get spare parts for all kinds of military equipment, so even destroyed equipment can be repaired.

Therefore, it is safest to go through their channels. Why don’t we contact them right away?
"If it's just the priority purchase right, I can guarantee it, but I can only get those that are not too seriously damaged and need to be repaired before they can be put back into use. I suggest that this location should be placed in Yilako."

Xia Yu said after thinking for a moment.

It is better to go through a third country. This will be better for everyone.

"Okay, that's great. I wish Mr. Sherlock all the best in Afuham."

Alireza got Xia Yu's promise and said with relief.

The Persian army is divided into two factions. The Wehrmacht still mainly uses American equipment. However, after so many years, there are not many who can still move, and they are in urgent need of fresh blood.

Another armed force with a strong religious color uses Soviet equipment and has basically everything.
