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

Chapter 551: Treasure Hunt in the Hangar, Heaven and Earth

"Om~~"

After watching Jonathan take off on the last C-17, Focus Defense also prepared to evacuate Kandahar, but this time they would take the land route.

Most of the company's transport aircraft, including the An-124, are in Kabul, and there is no spare capacity to fly directly to the final evacuation transit point.

Fortunately, the straight-line distance between Kandahar and Kabul is only 450 kilometers, and it only takes a dozen hours to travel by land, not to mention that there are a large number of abandoned armored vehicles and heavy truck heads in the base.

They picked out 30 vehicles in the best condition, filled them up with diesel, and replaced all the tires with new ones from the warehouse. Then they were ready to set off.

"I'll leave this to you."

After handing over control of the Kandahar Air Force Base to government forces stationed nearby, Xia Yu led the convoy out of the base gate and headed straight in the direction of Kabul.

Time has quietly come to August, and the evacuation of the Chinese people has reached the final stage, so the Kabul International Airport is now extremely busy.

On the way here, there was Sparrowhawk B flying overhead, so there was not much need to worry about safety. However, the closer they got to Kabul, the more vigilant everyone in the team became.

There is no way, there are more and more people on the road.

Some people shouted in English, "I have fought for the Magnesium Army, I have shed blood for Magnesium" and wanted to hitchhike with them to evacuate. Some also mistook them for Magnesium and showed hatred on their faces.

Of course, there are also extremist organizations who, no matter who they are, are coveting the equipment in the convoy and are ready to rob it to expand their own capabilities.

20 kilometers ahead, the drone saw a group of suspicious people planting a roadside bomb in the middle of the road.

Apparently knowing that the target might be equipped with a roadside bomb jammer, the other party did not choose radio remote control detonation, but instead laid a long blasting line.

At this critical moment, wired connections are still reliable. Just like consumer-grade multi-rotor drones, the communication control channels are easily interfered with. So is it possible to add optical fiber to the drone like optical fiber-controlled anti-tank missiles?
As long as the optical fiber of the transmission model is continuous, any interference will be useless. However, the target that the concentrated fire defense wants to attack cannot even do the most basic interference, so they have no use for this trick.

"Attention all units, there are still 18.5 kilometers to the target ambush circle, everyone prepare for battle."

Xia Yu said on the internal radio frequency.

"Yes, boss!"

"Woo~~"

A Wu-2 took off from an MRAP in the middle of the convoy and began to identify the personnel and vehicles in front and behind the convoy.

"A surveillance vehicle was spotted, suspected to be a combat vehicle..."

Suspected targets must be subject to secondary screening. We cannot wrongly accuse a good person, nor can we let a bad person go.

If you dare to rob a road that is defended by concentrated fire, you must be prepared to stay on this road forever.

Still on this car, the skilled and daring Team 4 were tying the RPG-7 warhead and the FPV drone together with tape.

Apart from cleaning up the battlefield, it is definitely better to get out of the vehicle and fight as little as possible. For targets that cannot be reached by direct fire, using suicide drones is the most convenient and quickest way.

There is no need to use the thermal imaging module during the day, and the cost of the machine and ammunition is less than $1000, which is a very cost-effective option.

“The last three kilometers, let’s start!”

Xia Yu made his final announcement to everyone.

"Woo~wu~wu~~"

One after another, suicide drones flew out of the car, reaching speeds of over 100km/h in just a few seconds.

"Om~~"

Amid the sound of the motor, the spear turret of the KF-41 Lynx on the trailer also began to rotate.

"Dong~dong~dong~~"

The machine gun opened fire, firing seven or eight 35mm programmable air-blast bombs in one breath.

Countless prefabricated tungsten balls were thrown directly above the armed men ambushing on both sides of the road. These guys were so full of tungsten balls that they could be used as showerheads after picking them up.

"Boom~boom~boom~~"

This was followed by another series of explosions, with pickup trucks and vans disguised as civilian vehicles all catching fire and exploding.

However, pickup trucks are easy to deal with. The metal jet transformed by the conical charge cover of the RPG armor-piercing warhead can only destroy the truck cab, and there are always lucky people in the car.

"Da~da~da~~"

They opened the car door, jumped out and fired into the air, hoping to cause chaos and escape.

At this time, it is the turn of the bomb-dropping drone. The badminton bomb modified from the 40mm grenade has controllable power as long as the militants are alone.

"Boom~~"

A bouncing grenade landed on the ground and then bounced up into the air and exploded with a bang, sending double-digit fragments directly into the target's waist.

"Dong~dong~dong~~"

The bomb-dropping drone was a signal for the militants fleeing in front of the convoy from behind. The two leading MRAPs chased after them, and the two M2 Lao Gan Ma guns on the bulletproof machine gun turrets on the roofs opened fire one after another.

Bullets are always the cheapest solution, especially since their guns and bullets are free.

Under the influence of the black swan event, bullets in the North American civilian market were in short supply and their prices rose sharply. For example, the price of .50 machine gun bullets increased from five or six dollars to more than ten dollars.

Now ordinary people can't even afford a Barrett. Only the wealthy who own fully automatic M2 and M3 can continue to output them without any regrets.

考虑到消费端价格下降的滞后性，等一切都过去了的那天，从两个基地搞了100多万发12.7×99mm机枪弹的夏屿感觉出个999美元100发套餐应该会很受欢迎。

Of course, the $1999 package of 100 rounds of 14.5mm is more popular.

After killing all the targets, the bomb disposal team immediately moved forward to defuse the homemade roadside bomb buried in the middle of the road.

Without cleaning up the battlefield, the convoy continued to speed up and arrived at the chaotic Kabul International Airport before nightfall.

This is the last stronghold of the Magnesium Army in Afghanistan. Thousands of people are crowded here, hoping to get on their flight.

In the past, the Chinese could push the planes on the aircraft carrier to the sea to pull people out, but nowadays they are much weaker and can take away at most 7.5 people.

Thirty to forty thousand people had been evacuated in the first two months, which was almost half of the people on the list, but the airport was still crowded with eighty to ninety thousand people, and it was destined that more than half of them would have to stay and face Tata who had taken over Kabul.

This sounds desperate, but is going to Magnesium really better than staying in Afghanistan?

Except for a small number of upper-class people, many of whom cannot even speak English and are destined to be unable to find jobs, the high prices there will swallow up their last savings and eventually become Homeless's expired burgers.

Their fate is obviously not as good as those who went to Europe. They can only enjoy real happiness in the United States and Germany. The United States has always been the developed country with the worst welfare.

Providing food and drinks to the homeless is just a spontaneous fundraising initiative by local people and cooperation with supermarkets in order to reduce crime rates.

Those things are going to be destroyed anyway, so it’s better to recycle them.

"It's more reliable to go to Pakistan than to go to China. If you can't earn and spend dollars, you'll be miserable."

Xia Yu held her daughter in her arms and looked at the "guides" who came with their families and said with emotion, "Palestine has just blocked the border. From 01 to now, they have received a total of 350 million people!"

Jonathan led the soldiers to clear a path for the people who were concentrating their firepower on defense.

The planes left with full forces and returned empty. The Magnesians also transferred several thousand soldiers from nearby bases to prevent any problems from occurring in the last stronghold of Kabuer.

The main security system will be gradually handed over to Fire Defense in the coming week until all evacuations are completed by the end of August.

Xia Yu and his friends will have to stay until late September or even early October.

There is no other way. We have to wait until all the magnesium people have withdrawn so that the concentrated fire defense can spare the transportation capacity to take away the last bit of the Kabul International Airport.

Even if Tata breaks in during this period, it doesn’t matter. Xia Yu might be able to negotiate a few more business deals with them!

In the chaotic Kabul, only the Chinese and foreign expatriates will have to leave. Private military contracting companies like Jihuo Defense are not afraid of war.

The two red war falcons have now been deployed to Pakistan. Even if Tata cannot control the situation, it doesn't matter. Those extremist organizations will not be able to cause any waves by taking advantage of the chaos.

"It's been 20 years. The old refugees will not forget Afghanistan, but the new generation born there will only think of themselves as Palestinians!"

After Xia Yu finished speaking, he followed Jonathan into a restaurant tent.

The Afghans outside had nothing to eat or drink, but the MG and PMC employees had access to hot food 24 hours a day.

However, by the end of the month, Jihuo Defense will have to start cooking on its own, and then the Magnesians will open up the stockpile that they cannot take away.

These supplies can be exchanged for money in Afuhan, but the only company that dares to stay and earn the money is Jihuo Defense.

Even Xia Yu would not be short of these 18 million. The money from the sale of daily necessities will be directly used as dividends for employees.

After all, in such a big country like Afuhan, only Lao Mei can make money, and everyone else is very poor.

"We will go and take a look at the A-29s that your company has ordered tomorrow. As for the equipment that we messed up and cannot take away, we will leave it to you to deal with when the time comes."

Jonathan was eating fast food quality spaghetti bolognese while discussing follow-up matters with Xia Yu.

The 2000 million equipment offset quota of Jihuo Defense has been used up, but this only applies to recorded weapons and equipment. Many things are piled up in the hangar of Kabul International Airport, and they themselves can't figure it out.

So as long as you maintain order, you can focus on defense and open the treasure box.

This kind of hangar treasure hunt, which is limited to the US military and is free, is simply the Pro Max version of warehouse and container treasure hunt.

Only Boss Xia, who has friends all over the world and is extremely lucky, could have come across this. I wouldn’t dare to think about it if it happened to anyone else.

However, there is no need to worry about the F-22, F-35, and MQ-9. They were on the first list and were withdrawn to the magnesium military base in Shatt in early June.

At the moment, the only air combat units available at Kabul International Airport are a few Apaches, which are basically used to drive people off the runway and clear the way for transport planes and passenger planes.

Unless they crash, these AH-64Ds will also be evacuated in the last week and replaced by the Hind series of aircraft that focus on fire defense.

Xia Yu felt that the Apache without the Longbow radar had no soul, so it was not a pity that he could not get the AH-64D this time.

What he is most looking forward to now are those crowded hangars, hoping that there will be good harvests down there.

"Dad, it's so noisy outside!"

Charlotte, who had just finished washing up and was getting ready for bed, said while covering her ears while lying on Xia Yu's chest.

It wasn't just the Afghans who were making noise outside. In the final stages of the evacuation, transport flights were also running day and night. Many factors made this place much noisier than Kandahar.

"It's a bit noisy, then Daddy will take you to sleep in heaven!"

Xia Yu got up and put on his clothes.

The "guides" outside the house tried their best but couldn't get a seat on the transport plane, but the little princess of the weasel could sleep soundly in the sky. The treatment was really like heaven and hell.

"Om~~"

The Il-76MF flew steadily over Kabul.

Thanks to their sister, little Yuzu and Charles both slept soundly in their own little beds. Only Liv felt that her husband doted on his daughters a little too much.

"No way. There's so much jet fuel at the airport. It would be a waste if we don't burn it!"

Xia Yu argued seriously.

However, refined oil does have a shelf life. For example, jet fuel can only be stored for a maximum of two years. If the number of flights drops by 99% in the future, even the towers will not be able to use up all the jet fuel.

Instead of hoarding expired items, it’s better to burn some!

Before the evacuation, Xia Yu also purchased a lot of various fuels from Bagram and Kandahar. After all, his fuel storage would not expire.

"This must cost tens of thousands, so just continue to pamper her!"

Liv felt painful when she thought that she had to work for a whole year with a salary of $8,000 to get such a good night's sleep.

Well, a little jealous.

It seems normal for a mother to be jealous of her daughter. It's like this in ordinary families.

"My dear, money is meant to be spent. What's the difference between uncirculated money and waste paper? Besides, the resources on earth cannot be wasted."

Xia Yu’s “no waste” means that the prepared resources must be consumed, rather than leaving them to expire or pouring the “milk” down the sewer.

Liv didn't quite agree with her husband's ideas, but it was not surprising that there were conflicts between couples. They could just have a fight and it would be over. The children were all asleep at that time.

After sleeping for 10 hours, Charlotte woke up and looked for her father. However, her omnipotent father was seriously sleep-deprived and was still snoring even after the plane landed.

Instead, mother was preparing breakfast for the three of them with a radiant look on her face.

"I'm sorry Jonathan, I'm late."

Xia Yu came to the hangar with dark circles under his eyes and apologized right away.

"Mr. Sherlock is busy with work. I will be free after completing the handover of this batch of A-29 Toucans. There is no rush right now."

Old Joe said with understanding, after all, he is the God of Wealth.

"Then let's start now!"

Xia Yu extended his hand and invited.

The 10 A-29s and 5 spare aircraft traded to Jihuo Defense are all in this hangar, as well as spare engines, aircraft machine guns, rocket pods and ammunition.

There was not a single round of conventional ammunition on the list of equipment to be evacuated, but the only things not on the destruction list were bullets of various calibers.

All rockets and iron bombs had to be destroyed, but basically only the fuses were destroyed, and only the hot-cast explosives of the aerial bombs were removed.

The remaining missile body steel can be sold as scrap. Locals outside the airport will recycle it for a few dozen cents per kilogram.

Xia Yu doesn't lack this scrap metal, so let the fellow villager make the money!
Rockets whose charges and propellants have not been removed are considered dangerous chemicals and pyrotechnics, so let him, a professional, accept them!
