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

Chapter 559 New Business, Promotion
"General Justin, we haven't seen each other for a while. I heard that a big case happened in your place?"

After the call was connected, Xia Yu came up and greeted everyone.

"I didn't expect that even you, Mr. Sherlock, knew about this. I will urge the police to catch the murderer as soon as possible. Compared to solving the case, we need your wisdom on the battlefield more."

Lao Jia also said with a smile.

The so-called major case was actually the appearance of Black Jack the Ripper in Kenniya, and the discovery of a large number of dismembered female corpses in the landfill in the slum area of ​​Neilongbi.

After piecing together the information, it was discovered that the number of victims reached double digits. It immediately became a hot topic and then spread to most of Afika. Even Xia Yu knew about it.

He really wanted to be Sherlock Holmes, but the people of Kenniya needed Xia Yu's combat command ability more.

"Oh? You guys are planning to take action."

Xia Yu asked.

"Yes, Mr. Sherlock, the Jumeria Youth Team has become more and more like a mad dog in recent years. Frequent terrorist attacks have seriously affected our economic development."

Justin said in a firm tone.

"We have already established connections with the African Union and raised more than half of the funds. We hope that Focus Defense can help us deal a heavy blow to the Jamali youth team."

Hiring Fire Defense to enter Jumali to fight, this is the main topic of Justin's phone call today.

Tourism is one of the pillar industries of Kenniya. They suffered heavy losses due to the black swan event. Coupled with the several terrorist attacks by the Jumali Youth Team every month, the hesitant Kenniya people finally made up their minds.

A short pain is worse than a long one. The problem of extremist organizations must be solved.

Of course, this money cannot be paid by them alone. The entire operation will be led by the African Union, which will pay a part of it through membership dues, and the countries deeply affected by the Jamaican Youth Team will share the rest.

As for Jamali herself...

Not to mention how poor they are, the current government in Mogadishu is nothing more than a tribal alliance formed by six major tribes, which can be said to be not much different from anarchy.

After all, this is a place where even the Blue Helmets had to flee, and it is a sad place for the people of Magna. The United Nations only returned to Jamaica 10 years ago.

The peacekeeping force really does not dare to use "foreigners". It all follows the AU framework, and the blue helmets dispatched are all black compatriots from neighboring countries.

Before that, it was directly the government forces of Empress Obia.

"General Justin, the battle against the Jumali Youth Team is not just about our concentrated fire defense, right?"

Xia Yu did not agree immediately, but continued to ask.

"Yes, the Magnesian people said they are willing to provide air support for this operation."

There is a magnesium army base in Kenniya, and a few years ago it was broken through by the Jumali youth team and several people were killed. Now that they have the chance, they will definitely take revenge.

Of course, their retaliation was limited to air support.

For ground operations, not to mention soldiers, even the country’s own private military contractors are not sent. Let them do whatever they want!
Dead people are annoying, and throwing bombs only costs a few dollars. Don't mobilize people for things that can be solved with money.

"Then they will be responsible for the first phase of the airstrike, and our company's air force will be deployed at the end."

Xia Yu thought about it and decided to give the task of reducing the strength of the Jumali youth team to the magnesium people.

This organization was driven out of Mogadishu many years ago. Its rear base is in the mountainous area, and its main sources of money and tax revenue are the numerous and scattered villages and towns.

In the early years when I had the coastline, I did some pirate business, or I killed the pirates and made them pay taxes voluntarily.

This has not been possible in recent years. After they kill a few people indiscriminately and are chased away, who will pay them taxes? The funds handed over by the pirates have returned to the hands of the major tribal armed forces disguised as government troops.

Xia Yu originally wanted the Asian branch to take over the business of Yading Bay, but later he realized that he was too young.

Why can't the warships of so many countries eliminate this group of pirates?

Everyone needs an excuse to reach out to others.

Only the big iron country will really fire cannons, and other countries will just use water cannons to drive them away and protect the merchant ships under their noses.

Therefore, the Asian branch can only take over the business in two places near Malacca and on the west coast of Aphika, and Ading Bay should remain as it is.

Once the wind direction changes, these Jamali pirates can transform themselves directly into the Jamali navy with the support of the tribal alliance government.

Xia Yu didn't quite understand, but was greatly shocked.

Or maybe that's what Afika is all about, it always gives you something new to do and it's always fun to watch.

There is no need to belittle them, let alone flatter them. They should just earn their due and eliminate those truly anti-human targets.

Many things were not explained clearly on the phone, so Xia Yu said that he would fly to Neilangbi in person tomorrow and they would meet to discuss the details.

After hanging up the phone, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

I have been waiting for business for several years. I didn't come when business was busy in the past. Now affected by the black swan event, I came now that I have some free time. It's okay.

It would take at least half a year to go to East Philippines to attack the Jumali Youth Team, and it would take almost 22 years to defeat them.

"22 years? I hope this is a turning point."

After reviewing this deployment, Xia Yu muttered.

…………

"Om~~"

The next morning, Sherlock landed at Moi Air Force Base on the outskirts of Neilangbi.

As soon as Xia Yu walked down the gangway, he saw a Cessna 208B Caravan.

No, to be more precise, it is a C-208B reconnaissance aircraft. The Kenniya Air Force bought two from the Chinese.

Regardless of whether this thing is useful or not, as long as the other party purchases the caravan series, they are likely to buy more caravans.

"General Justin, I wonder if your country's air force is interested in the AC-208B attack aircraft?"

Seeing Lao Jia coming, Xia Yu started to promote his product.

"Do you know about Afu Han's situation? Our company was responsible for security in the past and got a batch of pretty good equipment, including a lot of AC-208Bs, which can fire Hellfire and laser-guided rockets, and are more suitable for fighting extremist organizations than Tiger II fighters."

Compared with jet fighters, turboprop attack aircraft can stay in the air longer, making them very suitable for counter-terrorism in poor countries.

Kenniya's wealth is only relative to the surrounding poor countries. It is smaller than Niriliya in size, and is completely outshined by a number of countries in the northern Philippines in terms of per capita wealth.

This is also the reason why they can only afford the F-5E/F and cannot switch to the third or fourth generation aircraft.

And because of the Tiger II, the A-29 Toucan is a bit useless, but the AC-208B Combat Caravan is a great supplement to their combat power, especially since they are already Cessna 208 users.

"Will this be expensive?"

When Justin heard Xia Yu talking about the AC-208B attack aircraft, his eyes lit up.

As the lieutenant general in the army who knew the most about the air force in Keniya, he certainly knew about the Combat Caravan, but the price quoted by the Chinese was too high, so they only bought two reconnaissance aircraft.

Now that there is an opportunity to buy it at a low price, of course I have to seize it. If it is not cheap, then forget it. "It is not expensive. Not only the aircraft is not expensive, but I can also give you a discount on the ammunition. After all, we have been friends for so many years."

Xia Yu said enthusiastically.

There is no rush for the Jumali Youth Team, they will first reach an agreement on this business deal.

The price of a single aircraft is $750 million, the price of an APKWS II rocket is $3.5, and the price of an early version of the AGM-114 is $15.

If you think the Hellfire is too expensive, Firestar Defense can provide a paid upgrade service. For only $80, the AC-208B can fire the anti-tank missiles that are equipped with their Z-9WA.

Compared to Hellfire, Blue Arrow is much cheaper, but missiles are still more expensive than precision-guided rockets, so a high-low configuration of the two weapons is the best choice.

"It's only 80! We have all upgraded. The price of Hellfire missiles is really expensive. We can't afford it."

What Lao Jia said was both poor and generous.

But this is also the current situation of the Kenniya Air Force. Most of the AH-1Fs donated to them by Yozhen cannot fly, and the early MD-500 and the MD17F purchased in 530 can only be equipped with machine guns and fire rockets.

No matter old bird or new bird, none of them can defeat Hellfire.

The Chinese are not castrated, they are just poor and they didn't even buy a single AGM-114.

If you want to use helicopters to fire anti-tank missiles, just use the Z-9WA from that squadron.

As for modifying the Red Arrow-8 for the bird, we can only say that they can still afford the Blue Arrow-7 and don't have to save even this much money.

This is the kind of twist that belongs to a country that is neither up nor down. To put it in an analogy, it is the beauty of the middle class buying light luxury products.

"By the way, General, we also have cheap regular caravans, the price is only two million dollars each, and they are definitely in great condition."

Xia Yu continued to recommend.

Jihuo Defense not only sells military equipment, but also ships a large number of civilian aircraft.

Compared with the old An-2, which had too low a profit and could only be sold at a high price as a target aircraft, he now mainly recycles the Cessna 208 Caravan, which is in poor condition.

It can be sold for two million after a few hundred thousand dollars of overhaul. Fed up with the bumpy and unsafe roads, the middle class in Afica really need this kind of cost-effective turboprop transport aircraft.

"You've hit the nail on the head with this recommendation. Two transport-version Caravans are not enough for the Air Force. At a price of only two million, they can afford a squadron."

Justin chopped for the Air Force.

The squadron he was referring to was a six-plane squadron, with a total of eight Cessna 208s to suit the military's needs.

"In addition to the Air Force, airlines can also absorb a few aircraft, and the total should be in the double digits."

Lao Jia continued speaking while counting on his fingers.

He was so enthusiastic, not because he was thinking about Xia Yu's kickback, but because he wanted to use the performance of the concentrated fire defense against the Jumali Youth Team to see if there was any opportunity to go further.

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a general who doesn't want to be a general is not a good general.

Justin felt that he was young and still had a chance.

"Thank you, General. After the contract is officially signed, the Air Force's order can be delivered as early as early next year."

Xia Yu expressed his gratitude and gave an approximate time.

Whether it is the AC-208B or the ordinary Cessna 208B, the Kenniya Air Force has ready-made crews, but the use of airborne weapons still requires training.

We will definitely not be able to make it in time for this battle. After a few years, when the Jumali Youth Team has recovered, they will be able to handle it on their own.

Although they are loyal to the base, this organization, like ACE, can only consume its manpower to the maximum extent.

There is no end to the killing. As long as Jamali remains in chaos, there will always be fertile ground for the birth of extremist organizations.

The government replaced by the tribal alliance was not worthy in the eyes of these killing gods, but by weakening them and encircling them in Jumali, the security of the surrounding countries was guaranteed.

How can I put it? The people of Sumali are suffering, and the AU should bear the blame.

Collecting membership fees and donations is their job.

"Whether it's Kongluga or Kidar, they're both too far away from Mogadishu. Let's focus our defense and set this place as a transit airport!"

After talking about the airplane business, the two finally got to the point, which was the battle plan against the Jamali youth team.

The Moi Air Force Base has a good geographical location. The most important thing is that only 62 of the 7 airports in Jammu and Kashgar have paved runways. "Anarchy" means that all infrastructure construction has stopped.

If old infrastructure is not maintained, its condition will only get worse.

So let alone the An-124 that is responsible for concentrated fire defense, I'm afraid there won't be many places for the Il-76 to stop.

Helicopter. The most important vehicle deployed this time is still the helicopter.

However, compared with the 1990s, the magnesium army only had to face rockets at that time, while the concentrated fire defense had to face the proliferation of portable air defense missiles.

Combined with the second phase of fighting in mountainous areas, the decision to purchase two additional airborne anti-aircraft vehicles was indeed the right one.

As for the Magnesian Centurion C-RAM interception system, Xia Yu seemed to have said that he would not use it, but if he wanted to guard the camp, he should still bring one with him!

Before returning to Afika, the battle against BLA in Afuhan was the first actual combat exercise of concentrated fire defense mountain warfare.

But when it comes to a long-term deployment like the one in Jumali, many details need to be adjusted.

For example, the Biru people didn't know the existence of concentrated fire defense before they died, but the members of the Jumali Youth Team will clearly know who their opponents are.

They can cheat, they can sneak attack, there is nothing they can't do as long as it can weaken the concentrated fire defense.

Therefore, the safety of the camp is very important, as the helicopter may be ambushed every time it takes off and lands.

In addition to the original organization, Jihuo Defense will add 4 Black Hawks and 4 Sea Knights, a total of 8 transport helicopters.

The two Super Hornets from the museum will also be taken over, as well as those Fennec Foxes, so the number of helicopters he will put into Jellyfish will reach about 20.

If you ask what a grand scene is, this is it.

In addition to the equipment, Xia Yu also needs the crew to make them operate.

He solved the Black Hawks' problem in Afuhan, so the Cavaliers had to look for foreign aid.

On the way back from Kenni Ya, Xia Yu called Thompson directly.

Although the CH-46 is the vehicle of the fourth-class people, Lao Tang, an Air Force Major General, has extensive connections and knows many colleagues in the Navy and Marine Corps. He can help put together enough Sea Knight crews.

"I knew you had made a fortune in Afghanistan. Four CH-4Es are a lot, and they can be folded with one button, which is much more convenient than the Chinook."

As a ship-borne helicopter, the Sea Knight's front and rear rotors can be automatically folded within one minute by the motor in the hinge, which makes it convenient not only to park in the hangar of amphibious assault ships and aircraft carriers, but also to be quickly deployed on strategic transport aircraft.

It's a bit old, but that's why the Chinese rarely use this thing in Afghanistan.
