Chapter 167 It's Rolling Up, New Fighter Jets (Please Subscribe!)
In Panaka, hundreds of kilometers east in the border rainforest, Alexei, wearing sunglasses, stepped out of the car.
This was his second time here. The environment was hot and humid, and the presence of snakes, insects, and rodents was off-putting, but the dollar and gold made him ignore them.
"General, we meet again."
Alexei took the initiative to greet Sasu.
"Yes, we thought the Shilka River would be enough to deal with them, but who knew..."
"Sasu said regretfully."
"Based on your description, the pilots of Jihuo Defense are very capable. Even when flying at low altitudes, they are always paying attention to the ground situation. They are a tough opponent."
Alexei analyzed for Sasu.
There has been discussion within the industry that Jihuo Defense might have two fighter pilots, one of whom, piloting a Sea Harrier, shot down five fighters, including a Mirage 2000-C, making him an absolute ace.
The other pilot, who flew an F-4 Phantom, didn't have any notable achievements besides bombing and deception, but it turned out he wasn't exactly a pushover either.
It's likely. Once the Germans surrender, the British will blow up the tunnels, and no one will be able to cross the English Channel.
Yes, there is only one answer.
Tao Song thought so, and the British did so as well. The elderly were disgusted with going to Tu'ao, a place rife with poisonous creatures, to retire there, which is why the people of Tu'ao now all speak with an English accent.
Fixed-wing fighter jets are much harder to deal with than helicopters, and portable anti-aircraft missiles are simply not enough.
"Beep~~"
We only sell airplanes, and we even remove the weapons systems. What the customers do with them is also our problem.
Paul wasn't entirely naive. Since the concentrated fire defenses didn't have a stable supply of Spey engines, why send another F-4K or F-4M?
"The equipment can only be delivered after the agreed date, and you can't send us over so late as to send personnel."
That immediately brought back memories for Tao Song of driving the tank off the military train and taking it to the exercise.
I can afford to buy better self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, but older anti-aircraft missiles still have problems, such as the BRdm-2 armored reconnaissance vehicle covered with a tarpaulin in front of Shilkashe.
"Boss, where are you going after we came up?"
Yes, yes, yes, everything will be ready for combat when we turn back?
But my old crew members are all mediocre; they can't compare to professional Russian instructors at all. At the very least, they can teach you how to drive, turn, aim, and fire.
The sunshine there is more than in the country, and Afica is more livable than there.
"It's x2!"
The system is so demanding that if the output is less than or equal to 5, it cannot be finalized and must be reverted to mass production for modification.
The problem is that we only came to return the goods, and Paisan only came to test the waters first.
"Mr. Tao Songning, his goods are as bad as ever."
I attended a military academy, but most of the officers I sponsored had studied abroad, so naturally they would only believe the one-sided stories of the arms dealers.
Before the enemy made preparations, they took off with only one flight and managed to evade the barrage of bullets from the rebel Alek River.
Tao Song continued to ask.
Sell, or rather, why sell.
Tao Song reported on the results of the investigation.
One Spey Phantom is enough for now; we'll need some other bad stuff for Hans's mission.
Tao Song did his best, but that didn't change the fact that those new crew members were all just ordinary people. The main combat force really could only rely on these veterans and the support crews.
The SAM-13 was developed based on the SAM-9. Because the first-generation non-thermal lead sulfide red-light seeker used in the SAM-9 had poor anti-jamming capabilities and could only be interfered with by sunlight and cold decoys, it performed very well in the Seventh Middle East War.
For the sake of artistic tension and visual effects, the director drastically modified the maneuverability of the anti-aircraft missile to an almost supernatural degree, but it is undeniable that it can hit targets farther and more closely than shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft missiles.
"Boss, they've finally arrived."
As the convoy drove out of the rainforest, a man asked Shilkashe.
The two took turns driving, arriving at the tunnel entrance at varying speeds.
When I return the goods to England next time, Paul will assume I'm a genuine collector. Instead, he'll turn around and take off in a Harrier jet, beat up the white-hatted guy, and then repair our F-4K, using it as a bomber to drop iron bombs on the rebels.
Because we were illegally entering the country next time, Hans and I didn't take the slower underwater tunnel. That time, the two of us had "legal" documents, so we couldn't experience it.
"The total is $3 million. The difference will be considered as an advance payment. We hope the equipment and personnel can be delivered as soon as possible."
Even after things have come to this point, Busa still wants to let me off the hook, giving me a chance to catch my breath and develop. So don't blame me for putting down all my chips.
Paul emerged from the shadows in front of the hangar and greeted Hans.
Before the Arkham War, Britain, which was short of aircraft, purchased 15 used F-4Js from the United States' inventory. Due to the large number of them, they were stored under poor conditions, just like the F-4Ks.
The military and police have all paid attention; the place seems peaceful and tranquil, so there must be a problem.
At this moment, a heavy rain started from the sky, and the F-4m cars on both sides of the road were getting soaked. It was a pity that no one took them home.
Before leaving the port, the two got back out of the car and drove towards the country of hair.
Unzip it, and you'll find it stuffed full of Franklin.
Lifting the tarpaulin to reveal the seven ammunition boxes arranged side by side, Shilkashe introduced them to Xia Yu.
Based on our own intelligence channels, I was also aware of the results of the concentrated fire.
I aspire to collect the entire family of ghosts and monsters, but there's never a specific order to my collection.
Pull up the tarpaulin covering the one on the right, and you can't see a Phantom with a body even longer than the F-4K.
In that case, if you take the 30mm cannon off the Marder S30 and print out the 20mm cannon from the A3 (as it was originally), the result will be the same.
In the same hangar, only eight of the seven lights were on, just like England in the midst of a storm, everything was broken and under repair, and the money from selling secondhand goods was used to patch up the hole.
A cargo ship loaded with 16 weasel-shaped wagons sounded its horn and left the port, retreating into the North Sea via the Elbe River and heading towards England.
Hans only returned 5 of Rheinmetall's mK30 2/Abm cannon systems. In theory, before all of them were used up, they could have been directly upgraded to the new Marder S30.
Tao Song saved nearly a million US dollars per vehicle with tears in his eyes, while Rheinmetall lost orders.
If there hadn't been that tunnel during World War II, the Japanese probably wouldn't have been able to continue their blitzkrieg campaign before conquering Bali!
As Xia Yu leaned closer to take a look, he waved to his subordinates to inspect the goods.
That stance must be declared at all times.
This is where the problem lies. Although Xia Yu prefers the Armor S1, which will be able to take on Turkey's modern F-4E fighter jets in a few years and is incredibly powerful, its price of $15 million is too expensive.
Furthermore, according to maintenance records, the engine of the F-4K that was sold later was nearing the end of its service life.
Sasu summarized his thoughts.
Tao Song assigned tasks to the two of them.
"Whoosh~~"
"You got the SAM-9 high-altitude short-range surface-to-air missile weapon system from North Africa. It wasn't in perfect condition when you first received it, so we had it decommissioned for maintenance and upgrades. We replaced the solid fuel and some outdated electronic components, bringing it up to the level of the previous generation SAM-13."
Xia Yu, being a soldier at heart, insisted that I should learn from the Youth Corps of the Mawei Army and send people to Busa City to carry out terrorist attacks, even if the same investment yielded fewer results.
There were no small stockpiles of bare T-72 and BMP-1 aircraft in Eastern Europe, and even with the added transportation costs, the price of bringing them to Afica was already quite high. Using them to weaken Busa's forces would be even worse.
As Xia Yu spoke, he waved his hand in front of him and handed over a 20-inch rolling suitcase.
Damn it, they just delivered new anti-aircraft missiles to the rebels, and now they're visiting their defense forces. That's pretty cowardly, but Boss Xia is home, so we're destined to meet them today.
If you earn a little, you have to spend some. And Hans is very familiar with things in England, so you have to see how the other party is going to act.
"Sherlock, it's been a long time. You've heard all the bad news about them in England. Well done."
Everyone would want to be born without a system, of course, directly requesting support from outside the family is also an option, but Hans has to prove his worth.
"There's an infantry battalion and a forward support regiment stationed there. We're all just doing what we're supposed to do. CTSFo has seen them. The special police are busy copying tickets."
It was then that Tao Song, who was listening to the riddle, noticed that there were actually only two planes outside the hangar.
"How is the situation?"
"Did you see that the plane he mentioned was brought in a couple of days later? Judging by the size, it's a Harrier, no mistake."
Rebels and terrorists are ultimately the same. Rebels either fall from power or are suppressed, but terrorists are like a stubborn problem that is difficult to eradicate completely.
The undersea tunnel is only for trains, so I drove the Land Cruiser off the train and secured it before showing my passport and filling out the customs declaration form.
The F-4Ms inside would probably burst into tears if they heard that; it's their fault that there are so few of them.
Back then, the American General Motors' J79-GE-17 turbojet engine was also a mess!
Considering that we may not have an airstrip longer than 1,000 meters for a long time, prioritizing the collection of carrier-based aircraft is a mistake, and the airframe structure of special fighter jets can withstand the pulling force of steam catapults.
That old magnesium carrier-based version of the Phantom—the F-4J.
That performance was definitely due to a new engine, and back then, who could still produce Spey engines?
"Alright, you guys go to make the deal tomorrow. You'll get on the bus with me, and Shao Mi will stay out of the bus."
Regardless of what we call those Soviet-made anti-aircraft missiles, the enemy always calls them SAM-13, and the SAM-13 is only known to a small number of people because of a movie called "Into the Enemy's Front".
Hans also knew that it was based on the WRC series. In the rules we issued in 1997, it was required that the cars used in the WRC must be modified from the production cars of the participating manufacturers, and that "quantity" was 2,500 cars.
"Arrange a helicopter for you to fly directly to Kongluga and visit Jihuo Defense."
Setting the battlefield in the border rainforest may seem like a home-field advantage, but Busa will at least lose budget, and even if the fighting is fierce, it will still cripple the opponent.
If you get used to it quickly, it will turn out bad. By the time the system unlocks pure blueprint printing, I'll even be using the car bodies for returns from Europe.
"That's why we need anti-aircraft missiles. The Shilka River can only shoot down F-4s flown by ordinary pilots. I made the mistake of underestimating the enemy."
Before the counter-terrorism contract for Keniya can be successfully completed, the system unlocks a function called [Mass Production Vehicle Modification].
The key point is that it's a seven-round launcher. Once it's launched, you can't fire a seventh or eighth shot. If you empty the launcher, you can at least leave something behind, right?
Hans didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.
Because the demand for the Toussaint air defense missiles was relatively slow, the SAM-9plus Shilkashe system was directly airlifted over. However, the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles had to be transported over sea as quickly as possible.
"Concentrated fire defense is ruining peace; you're really just acting in self-defense."
Which return was that?
"Has no armed force been mobilized in that distance?"
We'll sell the production line and blueprints as a package; after all, we're in the production business.
"Collecting, not collecting!"
Hans revealed the real reason.
If I get an old SAM-9 and two Aleksandr combined air defense systems, the remaining money can be used to rebuild two mechanized infantry battalions and one armored battalion.
There were four car bodies parked outside the two garages, which made it convenient for Hans to carry them with him for preparation and modification.
Paul said with a smile.
This company isn't large, but it recruits elites for both its ground and air forces!
That works too. After the withdrawal from Panaka, Xia Yu left a few T-72AVs and BMP-2s to be sent off the battlefield. I'll use them to train new crews.
After a complicated meal, we continued driving towards the next abandoned air force base, until we turned a corner and met up with Sasu when we were less than ten kilometers away.
Hans was truly wronged that time. The concentrated fire defense had the capacity to operate the third and fourth fighter jets at the moment. My visit that time was mainly for personal collection.
Without boarding the bus, we sat directly under the bus and drove into the tunnel, arriving in England about half an hour later.
"You know, this is their only way of self-defense, so why would they suddenly want an F-4J?"
That level of skill is too quick to learn; you need to find a professional instructor to improve it further.
Before I converted the stock mK30 2 \/Abm type autocannon along with the vehicle body into a Marder S30 according to the blueprints, the system printed the second Marder S30 without any hindrance.
Xia Yu said, "There aren't two, there's only one of me."
The real historical events need to be investigated in depth; outside the movie, it actually shot down an F-18 Hornet.
Schlkasche took off his sunglasses and said with his eyes closed.
As for Hans continuing to contact us about buying aircraft, several departments have held meetings to discuss it.
The following morning, after confirming that our cargo ship would arrive at the port a little over an hour later, the three of us drove to the air force base, which was a dozen kilometers away.
I can afford that money, but the combined cost of Jihuo Defense's F-4 and Sea Harrier is just as high.
The upgraded electronic components in Schlkasche apparently included an infrared guidance head, and a technical multi-caliber team opened four ammunition boxes separately, making a cursory check with a flashlight before confirming that point.
We need to go through the Yingfa undersea tunnel to England. The passenger plane is too slow, so we have to wait for the cargo ship.
Having withstood the blow from the white hat and successfully turned the tables, Hans's reputation was lowered considerably.
Tao Songning randomly pulled several stacks of US dollars from outside the box and counted them using his portable money counter, thus completing the transaction successfully.
After spending a week or two in England, Tao Song became depressed.
During my trip to England, I played the role of a secret agent. Although the weather was terrible, it was still quite exciting.
