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

Chapter 567 Seeking Peace-225, Storm is Coming

"It's about Eastern Europe. Do you know what those Slavs bought from Rediodine? A large amount of blood coagulant, enough for tens of thousands of people."

Thompson said what he could.

What we cannot talk about is the transportation of assembled plasma to the border areas. It is okay to carry more medicines and medical supplies during military exercises, but no one has simulated the need to carry plasma.

"Are we about to start?"

Xia Yu asked.

From the very beginning, he knew that this war, which had been delayed for many years, was inevitable. He did not expect that at the moment of this black swan event, the other party finally made up his mind to take action.

"In the past month or two, the big guys have been very pessimistic about this."

Lao Tang estimated and said.

Everything has a traceable path. The living fossil of the Cold War has made many harsh remarks in the past two months, but it seems to have no effect.

"I have a different opinion. It will be more like a meat grinder than a piece of fat meat."

Because of the industry he is in and his relationship with old Yev, he understands Russia's military strength better than ordinary people, experts and think tanks.

Even if we carefully calculate that little bit of money every year and exploit India more and more, it cannot support the country's reputation as the world's second largest military power.

How long can their so-called old capital last? How many new warships have been launched in recent years? New aircraft...

They have already sat at the same table with the British and the Japanese. Only the magnesium army is telling the congressmen how powerful the other side is for military funding.

Perhaps only by getting started can those half-dead military industries be saved!

Then there is the complete end of foreign military trade. The market vacated by Russia 14 years later was largely eaten up by Jiehuo Defense. Now a certain big country that does not want to be named can take over the share vacated by Russia.

Take Aerjiliya for example! They bought 38 sets of Armor S1, but according to the news from their hometown, their military seemed to be more interested in the 11-tube LD-3000.

Ultimately, it’s because those two 30mm guns that can’t fire programmed bullets and have a low firing rate are too lame.

There are two approaches for close-in weapon systems. Either add a tube to increase the firing rate, or use Aldridge ammunition. Both approaches have their own emphasis, so both must be equipped.

Even if people no longer buy Chinese products, they will only buy foreign products. However, users who give up Russian products have more choices. How can a certain big country not make more efforts at this time?

"Yes, in any case, the dead are Slavs."

Thompson acknowledged that possibility.

“Of course, there are also PMC companies that don’t recognize their own strengths.”

Xia Yu added.

Unless it is an army like GNA that is disguised as a private military contractor, other companies are not strong enough to bully the armies of many third world countries.

If you really want to get involved, I'm afraid they will be able to wipe you out with a missile and directly remove you from the industry.

It is really important to know yourself clearly. Xia Yu will not accept any strike contracts from either side. Wouldn't it be better to hide behind the scenes and sell things?

In order to prepare for this bloody feast, he has stockpiled a lot of goods over the years. Now that the harvest season is approaching, he is sure to make a fortune.

By the way, it would have been better if Lao Tang didn’t remind him. As soon as he was reminded, he thought of an important thing - the An-225 of Jihuo Aviation Transport Company!

The last time Xia Yu went to Ermao for an on-site inspection, he found that Antonov Airport was the most suitable airport for airborne raids among all the airports in Kiev.

But it is also the home port of An-225 and a number of An-124s, which makes things very difficult.

When the Black Swan incident was at its peak, both Da Mao and Er Mao's private heavy transport aircraft fleets were doing very well.

But as time goes by, people are less and less afraid of this thing, so the last business peak was the withdrawal of Afghan troops last year.

In addition to the three An-124s of Jihuo Defense, Ermao's Ruslan also dispatched half of them, but this year, business suddenly decreased.

When there are no missions, the An-225 and An-124 are parked at their home port, Antonov Airport. If they remain there, a rocket could destroy this Alliance legacy.

It's just that the engine is broken and a few pieces of the skin are torn. These minor problems can be repaired or replaced.

But there was a problem with the structure, and Xia Yu couldn't explain it even if he could repair it.

To be on the safe side, should we move it to another place?
He did what he said. After talking with Lao Tang, Xia Yu directly contacted Antonov Airlines to discuss the wet lease of the An-225.

In addition to short-term aircraft leasing by flight, there is also more cost-effective long-term leasing, which is divided into dry lease and wet lease.

Dry lease means that Party B only leases the aircraft and provides the crew and maintenance, while wet lease includes everything.

For the An-225, of which there is only one in the world, Antonov Airlines only offers wet lease. As for the An-124, which has sufficient numbers, you can use it as you wish.

In addition, if the business had not declined, the other party would still be more willing to accept short-term leases, unlike now when it is possible to sell the whole package.

It’s just that the price of US$19 billion in 21 is too expensive. Even if it includes a full set of technical data and equipment, no one would be willing to pay that much money.

If you move the decimal point one place forward in Xiayu, it is still not worth selling it for 2.1 million. After all, this is just an old plane built before the end of the Cold War.

He didn't want any outdated information either. The most he would offer was 100 million, but that was a price Ermao couldn't accept.

In fact, this problem is easy to solve. Just wait until the other party can accept it.

Xia Yu leased it for a quarter just to prevent the An-225 from being destroyed in the war. As the crystallization of human wisdom, it is better to fly it to scrap than to suffer such a fate!

If everything develops as he expected, he might not even have to pay cash and could just exchange shells for planes.

Having gone through the difficult years of exchanging shirts for airplanes, I deserve a share in the world's arms market.

Of course, Xia Yu also sells second-hand passenger planes. He has stockpiled hundreds of old Boeing and Airbus planes.

Now is the time to make some moves to recover the lost funds. The recovered funds can be reinvested to form a virtuous circle.

After finalizing the price, Xia Yu hung up the phone, pondered for a few seconds, and dialed another number.

"Mr. Yevgeny, we haven't been in touch for a while. Are you still in Afika?"

When the call was connected, he spoke first.

"It's Sherlock. I'm in China right now. I'll have to be in Europe for a long time in the future. Afika's business can only maintain its status quo for the time being."

Old Yefu didn't say anything, but he made everything clear.

At the same time, Xia Yu could also hear his confidence in his own company.

As the boss of a PMC company, you need to have such confidence, but the situation is different when commanding a country's army.

As a general, one should consider defeat before thinking about victory, so that he can fight a hundred battles without danger of defeat.

It is dangerous to become arrogant before winning. You have a weak foundation and are reluctant to go all in, fearing that everything will be broken. It is only a matter of time before you are dragged into the quagmire of war.

Ultimately, it's just greed. In this situation, you either have to gamble all your capital or go all out and fight a punitive war.

But not everyone has the fine quality of "restraint", so it is said that the world is a huge makeshift team!
"Then I wish you all the best. If you are short of ammunition, I still have a batch of regular stocks. You know, we use more precision-guided munitions now." Hearing Xia Yu's slightly Versailles speech, Old Yefu laughed and said:

"How could we possibly be short of ammunition? Everything will be done quickly, but thank you for your kindness anyway."

If everything is really fast, then there will be no shortage.

However, Xia Yu's prediction based on all the information is really not fast enough! My old brother.

In addition, if he can't move quickly, given his relationship with the military, I'm afraid they won't even give him ammunition.

Not to mention that Gena's high salaries really boosted their combat effectiveness and made them stronger than most regular troops, which is really embarrassing.

The two of them didn't talk for much before Old Yefu was called away. It seemed that he was really busy.

With more than 1 employees now, who knows how many will increase in two years. He is the only one who has risen from a cook to a local lord, right?

If we include the miners and museum employees in the Jihuo Defense Force, the number of people barely exceeds 10,000, and there will not be any significant increase in the next few years.

This is also a good thing. The industry can be more complex, but the attributes should be simpler.

Xia Yu has always positioned himself as just a businessman.

Well, patriotic businessman.

Anything else has nothing to do with him.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu couldn't help but open the playlist and played the song "Yuanyang Xi".

The An-225 will have a mission the day after tomorrow and will go directly to Kidar Airport after the flight to formally fulfill the lease contract.

The plane has already been rented, so he won't keep it in the hangar.

Xia Yu will then use his connections to get some business at a discount, which will at least make back the cost of the three-month wet lease and leave some money behind.

By the way, we can also fly from Jamali to Guo and bring back all five of the company's tanks.

The An-124 can only pull 3 vehicles, while the An-225 with two more engines can pull 5 vehicles, which is half a tank company.

How to put it, you can pretend, but you can’t pretend.

This is the limit of man-made aircraft transportation at this stage. We may have to wait until the next century to break through it. Therefore, from now to a long time in the future, it will still be the era of sea transportation.

It is a little slow, but it is amazing to think about transporting tens or hundreds of thousands of tons of goods at a time. No matter how many train cars there are, they cannot compare to an ocean-going freighter.

As for the need for rapid deployment in war, the Air Force needs strategic transport aircraft with large load capacity, and Ruslan is enough.

Compared with big guys like main battle tanks and heavy infantry fighting vehicles, airborne vehicles are more commonly used in actual combat, because firepower is more important than defense at this time.

This is also the reason why the helicopter airborne field chose the unprotected cat car after making a choice.

The mortars, airborne infantry fighting vehicles, and armored personnel carriers that accompany the transport aircraft all weigh less than 10 tons, and one flight can carry several of them.

Of course, firepower alone is not enough to defeat a tough target like Antonov Airport.

As long as no one cares about the assets at the airport, the BMD-4 will be as vulnerable as the An-225, not to mention the soft targets of personnel.

Time quickly came to the next day, and Xia Yu turned his attention back to the current target of concentrated fire defense.

If you take money from someone, you have to help them get rid of the trouble. The Jumali youth team has the highest priority. He had already made arrangements in Europe yesterday. He just needs to wait patiently.

"How's it going today?"

At the usual meeting, Xia Yu asked the drone team.

"Abdi didn't react much. They abandoned their original fortifications and hid in mud houses and shacks. As soon as we launched an airstrike, these guys would immediately disperse to reduce their own casualties."

It seems that this is a summary of the experience from the previous attack, and the opponent is currently focusing on preserving its strength.

"In addition, they have stepped up patrols, and even cooperated with the appearance of consumer-grade drones. Without alerting the enemy, the airborne rocket artillery units on Line B cannot be deployed. Lines A and C are fine."

By sending an additional Scan Eagle and keeping a close eye on a patrol team, they might be able to find a loophole, but the Jamari had spread their net over a dozen kilometers away from the base, so it really didn't make sense to deploy an airborne rocket that needed to be deployed by helicopter.

In this case, it would be the same if we simply cut off the reinforced mortar units and each artillery squad carried dozens more guided shells.

With the reminder from the drone, all members hid before the patrol team's inspection, and even the thermal imaging channel could not detect any clues.

"Okay, let's arrange it this way. The enemy will also learn and improve. We must also be flexible and try to defeat them within two months."

Xia Yu said.

It is now the end of January, and the previous combat plan was to complete the deployment before April Fools' Day, which leaves him only two months including the Chinese New Year.

At the same time, in a certain Jumali Youth Team base, Abdi also came up with an idea after thinking hard.

They can't just stay in the mountains like this, they have to go out, use their advantages, and go to the city, Boom Boom Boom!

The reason why the Kenniya people hired concentrated fire defense is because they carry out terrorist attacks every day. There is nothing much to say. Just increase the dosage and make the other party regret doing so.

It is better to die in the streets of Neilangbi than to die on the hills of my hometown.

The members of the Jumali Youth Team are never afraid of death, but they want their death to be meaningful.

It's worthwhile to exchange one for another, but until today they can't even kill a single person with their concentrated firepower, which is really embarrassing.

"Notify everyone to speed up the production of bombs and strive to have one for everyone before March."

Abdi instructed his men.

"Yes, leader!"

It also takes time to saw open mortar shells and rockets and remove the explosives from the warheads to make bombs.

A month is enough time for them to make thousands of them.

When the time comes, we will take the mountain road to enter Kenni Ya. If we can go to Neilangbi, then go there. If we can’t, then we will detonate it in nearby villages and towns. Either way, we will make money.

"By the way, keep it secret and don't let the Fire Defense know."

Abdi gave another special reminder.

He knew that the Jumali Youth Team could not beat the other side, so he chose to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and took out his anger on the company's client.

Doing so may seem like it won't harm the other party's employees, but the loss will be much greater than letting a few of them die.

This is an open conspiracy because employers will regret hiring them.

Even if Concentrated Fire Defense finally wiped out the Jumali Youth Team, their reputation would be ruined and their future business would definitely be affected.

For businessmen, continuous losses are what hurt them the most.
