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

Chapter 560: Special Group Purchase, Prepare for War
Of course, after transferring the embassy personnel and the citizens of Magnesium, they would "die". No C-17 would be free for the transfer, and they would fall into the hands of the concentrated fire defense.

"It's convenient, but we're short of crews. You have to help me, man. These four CH-46Es can create eight jobs for you. Not only ace pilots can fly helicopters for Kobe these days. I'm far from home, but the salary is high!"

Xia Yu expressed his current difficulties to Lao Tang.

"You are right. Let professionals do professional things, let the strong get high salaries, and the weak should not occupy high positions."

Thompson, who has a technical background, agrees with Xia Yu's ideas.

The star's pilot was said to have extensive experience, with 8200 hours of flying experience. However, the results of the investigation showed that the problem was not with the aircraft but with the pilot.

The weather at the time was indeed a problem, but does that mean soldiers don’t have to fight in foggy days?

Three years ago, a heroic captain named Liu was able to survive for more than half an hour in temperatures of minus 40 degrees Celsius wearing only a short-sleeved shirt because of the old bomber he flew before retiring from the army.

What soldiers want is to break through the limits. Low weather conditions are not an excuse. Helicopter pilots responsible for concentrated fire defense must have full-time and all-domain combat capabilities.

Otherwise, the so-called trump card will only be a dead card.

"Give me a week and I will find you the four best crews."

Lao Tang promised on the phone.

It is not particularly obvious in China, but the bosses in Magnesium country always talk about how many jobs they have created and how many employment problems they have solved.

Their country's low-altitude economy is indeed prosperous, but the number of professional helicopter pilots is clearly in excess, because farmers can fly them themselves and there is no need to hire retired military pilots.

The police department has only a few helicopters for car chases and not many pilots, so many pilots who are not being used will find other jobs.

Xia Yu has also given them a stage to display their talents again, and using Thompson's connections is also helping him. This is basically a win-win-win situation!
"Okay, I'll leave it to you, but as for Adeliya..."

After talking about equipping the Sea Knight with crews, Xia Yu changed the subject and talked about Tu'ao.

Lao Tang is not a British citizen. As the boss of PMC, the imaginary enemy in air combat, the only thing that can be related to Austria is their batch of land-based Hornets.

Tac Air's major customer has always been the Navy, and its main reason for targeting these dozens of F/A-18s is to take on work for the Air Force.

After all, they are not Xila and Tuerqi. F-16 against F-16 can let their two squadrons play the role of imaginary enemies to each other.

The fighter jets chosen by the Chinese must be models that can be flown by their own pilots, and cannot be the same models used by the training troops.

Therefore, to take over the navy's business, we have to use the air force's fighter jets, and to take over the air force's business, we have to use the navy's fighter jets. The main point is differentiation.

As for the Navy's comprehensive replacement of Super Hornets, the old Hornets that were replaced are in very poor condition because they are carrier-based aircraft and have been corroded by sea fog all year round.

A few years ago, Xia Yu rejected the Navy's plan to replace F/A-18s with F-5s not only because he disliked the Hornet's ugliness, but also because he felt that deploying it at sea would be too damaging to the aircraft.

Although it can be repaired, its condition is too bad to be worth the price. It would be better to just replace it with a Tomcat.

But now there is such an opportunity to buy a land-based Hornet that is both cheap and in decent condition. Xia Yu, who has enough money, can buy a few.

Of course, this thing is different from the F-16. It is a bit troublesome for him to get it, so he has to find the PMC company in Magnesium to buy it in bulk.

Previously, Xia Yu helped Lao Tang to train a group of War Falcons in Northern Europe, so the other group's Bumblebee returned the favor to him.

"They are very popular. Draken International did not compete with us, but Air USA.Inc intervened and wanted to snatch these Hornets."

Thompson said with lingering fear.

Among the countries that use land-based Hornets, the Canadian Air Force's CF-188 was the first to become unusable. Due to the unique geographical environment of Canada, the aircraft are well maintained.

Because Feidian's delivery progress was too slow, Gana bought a batch of second-hand Bumblebees from them for transitional use, so these PMC companies competed for the remaining dozens of aircraft.

Among other countries such as Finland and Spain, only the batch of Hornets owned by the Swiss Air Force has the lowest number of flight hours, but they are not short of money and will not sell them at all.

Fortunately, the winning company was Tac Air, and they successfully won 46 F/A-18A/Bs, of which 4 belonged to the Afika War Museum.

Well, there are two single-seat A-type and two-seat B-type, just enough for one performance squadron and one passenger squadron.

Although it is a land-based Hornet, the foundation is here and it can definitely be converted into a sea-based ship. It is a good opportunity for our home team to study how to convert it into a Red Hornet.

As for Boeing's modification plan, that is an option Tac Air has no choice but to choose. After all, it is expensive and the quality may not be good.

"The first batch of aircraft will be delivered on New Year's Day next year. Your four aircraft will be among them. We will contact each other then?"

The two talked about the delivery time, and Thompson asked Xia Yu for advice.

"Okay, we'll contact each other again on New Year's Day next year."

Xia Yu understood what his old friend meant.

It is very troublesome for the fighter jets of private military contractors to go out again after they come back. The deployment of F-16s in the Mexico operation was also specially approved.

In order to avoid trouble, the most convenient option is to deliver directly on the high seas after leaving Audalia.

Next year will be the 22nd anniversary. I hope that "Top Gun II" will not be delayed any further and the Tomcat Squadron in the Aircraft Carrier Museum can be launched smoothly.

The Bumblebee Squadron is the museum's reserve for the next stage. As a large-scale profit-making theme park, it must continuously introduce new features.

This is the only way to encourage those who can afford it to consume repeatedly.

Let’s take airlines as an example. They are equivalent to first-class and business-class passengers, providing 70% of revenue.

More than 90% of the total consumer population flies in "economy class", and the revenue they bring can only cover the costs.

The money that Xia Yu gets is provided by the world's richest 10% of the population, who account for 82% of the world's wealth.

Only with their support can the two major parks and a military theme park of this scale be supported.

If you buy a second-hand aircraft carrier and just collect entrance fees, you will go bankrupt.

Only combat-capable aircraft carriers can make profits.

After hanging up the phone, the Sherlock also entered the Chinese airspace, and more than an hour later, it successfully landed at Pointe Noire Airport.

Xia Yu has a lot of things to do next. The AC-208B needs to be modified, and all personnel, materials and equipment must be transferred to Kenni Ya.

The most important thing is the early intelligence gathering work on the Jumali youth team.

He expects it to be a medium- to long-term deployment of half a year, but with the contract amount unchanged, the shorter the deployment period, the better, the more profitable it will be.

For this purpose, intelligence is very important. Xia Yu must know the location of every stronghold of the Jumali Youth Team.

"Although the Chinese have deployed MQ-9 Reapers at Kenni Ya, we still need to complete the enemy reconnaissance work ourselves. The two CH-4s leased by the company for a long time will be the first batch to arrive at Kenni Ya before the end of the month." Xia Yu spoke first at the preparatory meeting.

Cross-border reconnaissance requires large drones with long flight time and integrated reconnaissance and strike capabilities, such as Sparrowhawk B and ScanEagle, which they will only use after entering Jumali.

Although they are all military drones, they are strictly differentiated based on performance indicators and usage scenarios, which is the so-called special-purpose drone.

Like the last deployment to Afuhan, the CH-4 was not used because strike was not a priority. However, this time the deployment to Sumari was aimed at destroying the Sumari youth team. One plane was not enough, and two were needed so that they could relay in the same direction and conduct uninterrupted patrols.

"At the same time, due to the limited budget of the customer, we can only use the An-124 to a limited extent, and most of the equipment and supplies will be transported to Mogadishu by sea."

Mogadishu and Kongluga are located on the east and west coasts of Afika respectively. Since air transportation is not possible, sea transportation is faster than land transportation.

The batch of heavy truck heads obtained from Afuhan were distributed to various major mines. It is sufficient for Jihuo Defense to maintain the current scale of its transport fleet in Afika. They now try to avoid land transportation as much as possible.

"Is the Fire-Setting now in port?"

"Yes, they finished their escort mission for the Haiyan last week and returned to Blackhorn Harbor. They will return to Southeast Pass next year."

The employee in charge of Black Point Port answered.

The Gulf of Guinea is not peaceful, and our own research vessels need to be escorted by our own warships.

However, the Focus was in Kongluga, and it was their job to transport the equipment and supplies to Mogadishu.

Since other warships cannot carry the equipment, the dock landing ship is the only professional match and can pull all the armored units needed this time in one trip.

As for the high price of diesel, the black swan event has affected more than just the civil aviation industry. Brent crude oil is about to drop to $70 a barrel.

Xia Yu can now afford this ship's diesel, not to mention that he has harvested a lot of it in Afuhan.

From another perspective, this is also a practical training!

The dock landing ship is responsible for the transportation and landing of armored units. In order to cooperate with the transfer of personnel, Xia Yu also needs to modify a Cessna 208B waterplane to transport technical employees from Kenni Ya to the east coast of Afika.

The fastest way is to let them board the Fire Ship and directly "land on the beach".

Of course, the territory of the Jamali Youth Team is mainly inland towns, and they only have action teams that carry out terrorist attacks along the coastal areas.

Without covering their heads and faces with black cloth, no one can tell which tribe these guys are from, so there will be AU blue helmets to maintain security on the road.

However, Xia Yu hoped that they had the courage to launch a sneak attack. After all, the five tank crews that the company had reinforced in the past six months had never had a thorough combat experience.

Steel needles are useless, but large-caliber explosive bombs and programmed bombs are of great use. Only the most ferocious firepower can drive the main force of the Jumali Youth Team back to their lair in the mountains.

The company's armored forces were the undisputed main force in the first phase of the operation, with targets more deeply bound to Boko Haram and civilians.

In this case, the positioning of the armed helicopter can only be auxiliary.

"So, boss, the first phase of the battle will be more of a daytime assault?"

Hans asked Xia Yu.

"Yes, the second phase will be the time to take advantage of night combat. In order to reduce accidental injuries, the first phase of the advancement window must be placed during the day. This is also to prepare the target psychologically."

Xia Yu opened his mouth to explain.

He wanted to make the Jumali youth team feel that Jihuo Defense was a "legitimate" company and cultivate the habit of staying highly vigilant during the day and relaxing at night.

In this way, the concentrated fire defense of all nocturnal mammals can catch the opponent off guard in the second phase.

With the mountainous terrain and night attacks, the Jumeria Youth Team is not like the BLA guys who can take advantage of the magnesium army and buy cheap night vision scopes.

At night they were blind, and except for their greater numbers and scattered strongholds, they were easier to deal with than the Birochi.

However, attacking several strongholds in one night requires multi-level three-dimensional firepower support.

In addition to the two red fighting falcons, howitzers, mortars, and multiple rocket launchers are also very important.

The mountains seem to limit concentrated fire defense, and they are also a cage that traps the Jumali youth team. All they can mobilize are manpower and light weapons.

Those heavy equipment can only be left in large strongholds that can be reached by pickup trucks.

These places will be the focus of fighter jets, and those small strongholds with dozens or hundreds of people will explore what modern mountain warfare is.

Helicopters, drones, artillery, armor, individual soldiers...

These key nodes will link together efficient strikes against mountain targets, meaning that the least amount of troops can be used to kill as many enemy personnel as possible in the shortest time.

He didn't expect to completely wipe out the Jumali Youth Team, but eliminating more than 90% of their members was the KPI set by Xia Yu.

When doing business, you have to make the client feel that the money is worth spending.

Even if the target has an extreme religious belief bonus and loses more than 90% of its personnel, unless al-Qaeda sends key personnel to fully assist them in restoring their combat effectiveness, they will not be able to recover within ten years.

"That's enough. That's enough. When will your company enter the Jellyfish to fight?"

A week later, it was still the Moi Air Force Base in Neilanbi.

Xia Yu explained his battle plan to Kenniya and other senior military officials. All the generals present were satisfied, but they were more concerned about the deployment progress of concentrated fire defense.

Justin stood up and asked on behalf of everyone.

"Our company's warships will arrive in Mogadishu in three days and complete the construction of the outpost camp within five days. The first phase of operations will be officially launched a week later."

Xia Yu gave them a definite answer.

The speed of concentrated fire defense is already very fast. After all, reality is not a game, and the eating, drinking, defecating and urinating of the personnel and the equipment all need to be arranged.

"At the same time, please contact the Magnesium Army Afica Command to confirm that they can carry out air strikes on these targets controlled by the Jumali Youth Group in a week."

Xia Yu handed the intelligence jointly confirmed by the two CH-4s and ground intelligence personnel to Lao Jia.

All of these coordinates on the paper are authentic and verifiable. If they are struck according to the precision-guided munition models marked at the back, at least 1000 casualties can be caused to the target, while minimizing accidental injuries.

There is no way. The government forces of Noodles bring their families with them when they fight, not to mention extremist organizations like the Jamali Youth Team.

However, the people of Magnesium don't care about this. Seeing that they have a large number of armed personnel, they can get the bomb-dropping authorization, which is already considered restrained.
