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

Chapter 553: Evacuate and Hold on

The two 30mm gun barrels poking at the top of their heads were still quite intimidating, and the guides cooperated to make way for the two planes.

"Om~~"

The C-17 took off first, and after the aircraft wake created by four F117 turbofan engines dissipated, the Airbus A340-300 took off shortly after, carrying more than 1300 "refugees" to the transit station of Shat.

At this moment, an Airbus A380-800 that had been waiting in the sky for more than ten minutes also descended and prepared to land.

Honestly speaking, the cabin design of a domestic low-cost airline named after the season looks quite inhumane, but it is actually quite suitable for limited scenarios such as the great retreat.

After all, an A320 can carry 260 people. Considering the general structure of the A380, shouldn't it be able to carry 1200+ passengers?

In this way, the record that the C-17 had finally broken is nothing, and the title of aerial slave ship belongs to the A380-800.

Because the flight was short-distance, the plane was refueled before departure. After a round trip, there was still some fuel left, but it was definitely not enough for the next trip.

Taxi directly to the fuel depot to refill the jet fuel, and wait two hours before taking off for the next flight.

The two old Hinds that had no missions at the moment also landed and shut down, waiting to work at the peak of the next shift.

"Bang~~"

Suddenly, a gunshot was heard, and the brief peace at the airport was broken.

"Calling the boss, this is the Caracal, we have killed a suspected militant, and the target was carrying explosives."

Paul reported to Xia Yu on the radio.

He led five sniper teams to various commanding heights throughout the airport to monitor the movements of the crowd.

After all, it was a big order, so Xia Yu assembled a luxurious lineup.

He assigned all the snipers from the European, Asian and North American branches of Jihuo Defense to Afuhan to guard against anyone causing trouble at the airport.

I didn't expect that I would actually catch a big fish. There must be more than one attacker hiding in the dark.

"Everyone, please be on alert, Fennec Fox, you..."

"Boom~~"

An explosion interrupted Xia Yu's deployment.

"Bang~bang~bang~~"

More sniper teams opened fire. The roadside bomb jammers activated at the airport could interfere with radio-controlled bombs, but not time bombs or manually detonated bomb vests.

It is obvious that extremist organizations have sneaked into the airport. Without any security measures, it is very easy for them to enter the airport.

Fire Defense cannot completely stop them, or no PMC company can do it, but it is no problem to minimize the losses.

Anyone in the crowd who pulls out a gun, has a fat body, or takes out something that looks like a remote control can be shot without reporting.

The instructor team and the digital team on standby below also reacted immediately and surrounded those people with abnormal behavior who did not escape with the crowd.

This kind of combat scenario is not suitable for vehicles. After all, we cannot shoot the guides and members of the extremist organization together with machine guns. The best option is to deploy special operations forces.

Soon, the chaos caused by the attack was quelled and the combat employees eliminated all the militants.

The bodies with guns are easy to deal with, but those wearing suicide vests are much more troublesome.

In this situation, the previous response plan of Jihuo Defense was more Russian-style, which was to use an explosion to detonate the unexploded explosives.

But a few days ago, when he got the batch of bomb disposal robots in the B4 hangar, Xia Yu, who was itching to do it, chose to defuse the bomb by remote control.

If a beginner came, the robot would probably explode while being dismantled. However, if he came, he could control the robotic arm to smoothly strip off the robe on the target, and then accurately cut the wires that sent the detonation signal.

Finally, the bomb vest was pulled off the body.

"Boom~~"

The five explosive vests gathered together were safely detonated in a corner of the airport, and the crisis was completely resolved.

"Mr. Sherlock, you are a genius."

A major general of the Magnesium Army praised.

"I can't believe you've only been playing TALON 5 for a week."

"Nothing. This thing is just a miniaturized excavator. I only worked with tanks for two years during my service, but from the time I was discharged from the army until I founded Jihuo Defense, I have been working in the earthmoving industry."

Xia Yu is not bragging. Even without the system, he can directly become a teacher at Lanxiang. The excavator's large and small arms and the bomb disposal robot's mechanical arm are like his third arm.

But understanding technology is only the basic requirement to become the boss of an excellent private military contracting company. Xia Yu’s current success also depends on many other qualities.

"That would be a waste of your talent. Your stage is all over the world. In three days, we will officially stop transporting civilians abroad. The last two days, 30th and 31st, will be the last two days to complete the evacuation of soldiers. Then I will trouble you again."

Halfway through the conversation, Major General Chris changed the subject and made a final request.

He is the commander of the Army's 82nd Airborne Division and the 18th Airborne Corps, and is currently the highest-ranking officer in the U.S. Army.

In addition to causing double-digit casualties among the guides, today's explosion also resulted in five deaths and three injuries among the soldiers.

Without the effective response of concentrated fire defense, their casualties would probably have been in double digits, but the money was not wasted, as such casualties were within the acceptable range of the Ministry of Defense.

But it’s the last week already, so let’s not increase the number!

"In the next three days, I will deploy more personnel to conduct random inspections outside the airport."

Xia Yu thought about it and came up with a solution on the spot.

It turned out that this trick was very useful. The village protection team caught two guys wearing bomb vests, and their accomplices stopped giving away their heads.

When they learned that civilian flights would be closed on the 29th, the guides stranded at the airport became even more panicked.

"Sir, we have US dollars. Can you arrange for us to leave Kabul?"

The soldiers had no authority, and the guides' previous connections had long since left Afuhan. These guys who still had some money in their hands focused their attention on the concentrated fire defense.

After all, the logos painted on the fuselages of several An-124, C-160, and Il-76 aircraft are the same as the armbands of these security personnel.

The other side has planes, and they will most likely stay until the Magnesian people evacuate, so they will have a way to leave Afghanistan.

Sure enough, there is a threshold for leading the way. Even the low-level guides who have been abandoned by the magnesium people have strong observation skills and desire to survive.

In Afghanistan, where the illiteracy rate is nearly 70%, those who can speak English are considered talented. Unfortunately, they would rather leave than stay to build the country.

"Want to evacuate Afuhan on our plane? That's pretty smart of you."

When the news reached Xia Yu, he couldn't help but comment.

"So how much are they willing to pay for 'freedom'?"

"8000 US dollars. They don't care about the destination. As long as we can leave Afuhan, it's fine."

This amount of money is enough to leave Afuhan by land, but the road is not safe. It is better to take a plane and get there in one go, which can ensure the safety of your life and remaining property.

"It seems that they have made a lot of money from the people of Magnesium in the past 20 years. It's not a bad thing that you can't take a free flight. Magnesium is not a paradise."

Xia Yu shook his head and said, "To the lower classes, the people of Magnesium are not as generous as the Europeans. The money they earn from serving Magnesium will still be paid out after they return to Magnesium."

If you are not given a job and are given a "welfare house" with a monthly rent of $1000 per room, how long can the little money you save last?

Their best way out is to find a third country with the same cultural background and use their savings as capital to start a small business.

It is rare to know English in Afghanistan, but it is not the case in Mexico. Even if they can find low-level jobs, they cannot compete with Mexicans.

"Boss, do you agree to their request?"

"Go and count the exact number of people. This unscheduled escape flight will be scheduled for September 9st."

Xia Yu nodded.

Civilians transferred to other magnesium military bases will also be sent to Europe and North America. The lease period of the batch of aircraft of the Jihuo Air Transport Company will continue until mid-September.

But with such a huge aircraft graveyard under his charge, he was still able to squeeze in a passenger plane, enough to take away those guides who could afford the tickets.

Of course, those who cannot afford it will not sit idly by. Seeing that there is no hope of getting on the plane, they will try to escape from Afuhan by land.

However, warlords and extremist organizations of all sizes will be waiting on the road, waiting to seize the gold coins of these people.

The Tatas are unstoppable, but most of their members are from the Pashtun ethnic group.

The huge Afghan has about 45% of its citizens who are not Pashtuns. Driving out the Pashtuns is only the first step. There are still many things to do in the later stages.

In this way, time came in the blink of an eye to the 31st. The soldiers who had completed their final mission were evacuated from Afghan in batches until the last C-17 took off late at night.

"Mr. Sherlock, the airport is now in your hands."

Major General Chris said to Xia Yu.

"Don't worry, General!"

The two shook hands, and he watched the other board the Globemaster in the night.

"Crack~~"

The hatch's Apple phone captured this scene through the night vision goggles and quickly sent it to the Ministry of Defense.

A few hours later, the photo appeared on the Internet with the caption "The last Magnesium soldier to leave Afghanistan."

The publicity for the contingency plan was done quite well. The soldiers left first and the generals evacuated last. Who wouldn't be moved by this? But who would have known that there were fully armed PMC employees outside the camera?

"Very good, everyone get moving, now is our time."

Xia Yu clapped his hands and said to everyone.

Let’s not talk about emptying Kabul International Airport! At least the things with company seals must be evacuated from Afukhan first.

公司的安-124、C-160、伊尔-76、甚至是还没有交付的3架C-130H全都调来了喀咘尔。

Most of the weapons and equipment transported away by the Magnesium people will not be brought back to the country. They now have enough transportation capacity to distribute them to various military bases. However, the passenger planes will have to stay to pick up people.

The freed-up transportation capacity of Jihuo Defense took the disassembled Toucans, packed ScanEagles, Switchblade-300s, etc. to Afika.

It would take time to unload the cargo in Yelakol, and since the items were not heavy, we flew directly to Kidar.

It would be better for the company's heavy equipment to be sent to the Port of Basra and shipped by sea. After all, there is no rush to return.

"Boss, how do we arrange this?"

The employee pointed to the two destroyed control stations of the Centurion C-RAM interception defense systems next to the runway.

This single set of road-based dense defense system worth $1500 million has a good effect. Two days ago, it fought side by side with the old Cheetah of the Fire Defense System and shot down a round of rockets attacking the airport.

But we are afraid of encountering a saturation attack. Neither the old Cheetah nor the 20mm Centurion can fire programmable ammunition. On average, it takes double-digit ammunition to intercept a target.

Facing a dozen or twenty targets is no problem, but if a few BM-21 old hail tanks and a dozen 107mm rockets are fired at the same time, it will be the end of them.

The combined ammunition supply of several air defense units was only over 5000 rounds, which was a bit too little. The radar responded in time, but the ammunition was not enough.

Fortunately, apart from Tata, no one in Kabul has this number of multiple rocket launchers, and the other side has a tacit understanding with the magnesium people.

"It's broken anyway, let's take it to Yilakou and ship it by sea. I'll see if I can repair it later."

Xia Yu made arrangements directly.

There are plenty of second-hand Phalanxes. In the past, for the sake of customer experience, these things on the target ships were not dismantled, so the Chinese did not destroy the weapon station.

They de-weaponized the Centurion by destroying its control station.

Other people would be troubled by this problem, but Xia Yu was much more relaxed because the damaged parts and wreckage were still there, and they just needed to be maintained in such a complete state.

If he makes some modifications to the products, he might be able to sell them to the Chinese at a higher price in two years.

In this way, two Centurion C-RAMs were loaded onto the transport cabin of the An-124.

Just when the employees were busy, time quietly came to September 9st.

"Om~~"

An Airbus A380-800 from Kidar landed on the runway, with 8000 tickets sold at $1696 each.

For most airlines, 70% of their profits come from first-class and business-class seats. The economy-class passengers, who are numerous but less profitable, are just their ballast. However, Xia Yu earned nearly 1500 million U.S. dollars from just a few flights of these temporary flights without boxed meals or mineral water.

Their next stop is neighboring Palestine. Anyway, there are already so many Afghan refugees in the country, and Babayang is still welcome to refugees with some economic strength.

After Xia Yu used his connections to communicate, the other party was willing to accept these less than two thousand people.

"咻~咻~咻~~"

In the early morning of the next day, another round of rockets flew over the Kabul Airport, where there was no Chinese citizen.

"Dong~dong~dong~~"

The Red Cheetah and several Old Cheetahs opened fire at the same time, intercepting the rockets.

"Call the cuckoo bird, move out immediately."

Passively taking a beating is not the style of concentrated fire defense. The Magnesian people and those who should leave have evacuated, so now they can fight with all their might.

"Yes, boss!"

Old Han, who had been guarding the Longbow Cross Deer day and night these days, started the engine and chased in the direction of the rocket.

There was always a Sparrowhawk B in the air above the airport, so it got hold of the target earlier than the Flying Squirrel crew. In a village 10 kilometers away from the airport, four 4mm multiple rocket launchers that had been fired were towed by pickup trucks into four unconnected houses.

If there were no drones, they would have really gotten away, but the concentrated fire defense was waiting for these guys!
After recording the coordinates of the four residences, Sparrowhawk B fired an invisible coded laser beam into the night sky, shining it on the warehouse wall of the first residence.

"咻~咻~咻~~"

The Longbow Crossbow, which had just flown away from the airfield, opened fire directly.
