Chapter 131 Upgrade Plan, Number 2 (Please Subscribe!)
"Beep~ Beep~ Beep~~"
The fuel gauge started flashing an alarm, and the Ghost's internal fuel, which had exceeded 7,000 liters, was now down to only 10%.
The watch was set to start timing from takeoff. Xia Yu raised her hand to check the time; less than seven minutes had passed.
Including takeoff and landing, if you keep afterburner on a full tank of fuel, it won't last even 10 minutes.
No wonder people say that the engine can handle it, but your wallet can't; it can burn through thousands of dollars in no time.
It seems that we still need to have our own oil field; one or two wells would be enough for the company's annual consumption.
With that thought in mind, Xia Yu selected the one-click refueling option through the system.
The annoying noise finally disappeared, and the newly added aviation kerosene was pumped into the afterburner between the turbine and the tail nozzle, providing the fighter jet with additional thrust.
Perhaps there is an even more economical solution, such as spraying water into the combustion chamber like the Harrier jet.
In the 1970s, the old magnesium had envisioned this plan because the F-4E equipped by the Yisel people could not catch up with the MiG-25R of the Sulian people, and even the old model Sparrow medium-range missiles they fired were outmaneuvered by the other side using afterburners.
Anton and Sergei were recruits in the same year, one to two years younger than the rest of the group, and had less service time.
It's just a system modification module, and currently only supports the integration of functionalities that are sufficient for basic use.
The money that came out less than what I received was probably paid by Kong Lu's personal subsidies. The most important thing for the team is not fairness.
Those guys really lacked Djokovic; the problem was that Conte was good at fighting well-prepared battles.
General Motors seemed to be inspired by the Harrier jet that the British had just developed, and naturally launched the F-4x project for the British.
"You are currently at war with another PMC company and urgently need fresh blood. I hope you are still getting used to your guns and use your courage and talent to clear obstacles for the company."
"Puff~ Puff~ Puff~~"
While Sergei and I use the FN ScAR series, the 63rd Parachute Brigade dislikes using the Swiss SIG series even more.
Sergei had already given a vague answer about the terms of treatment, so the six men naturally felt that Konlu was just making empty promises.
"Your name is Ivan Zhivkovich..."
"Buzz~~"
That's fine. You only make a little money from modifications, and the profit margin on new aircraft is much smaller!
Kong Lu felt that the plan still had a lot of room for improvement. I absolutely cannot use a conformal water tank, like the Sea Harrier which has a large 200-liter water tank built into the fuselage.
Because I didn't have a comrade's introduction, I took a roundabout route as a freelance mercenary and ended up getting the opportunity to become a contract employee of a PMC company.
Five of them looked somewhat uneasy, but one woman with no scars on her face kept her eyes closed and appeared very calm among the six.
Kon-Lu's requirements were low; he only needed to have a certain level of self-defense capability while carrying out the bombing contract.
I also ordered handguns: two Glock 17s, two HK USPs, and two CZ 75s, all basic models.
Although the F-4K is a carrier-based aircraft without a landing hook, Pangguiga Airport is equipped with arresting cables, making the use of a drag chute even less effective.
The names of the Serviya people are very unremarkable. What's the difference between the last part and "Xiao Mao Qi Mao"? The first part is all "Weiqi" and "Qi".
As the plane taxied to the tarmac before landing, the scarred woman opened her eyes, got up, and beckoned the six people to join a group of white men on board.
"You are the commander of the combat group, mainly serving as an assault soldier, and can also take over the combat responsibilities of each group member at critical moments."
If you need to change the previous parts, do so yourself. The most important thing now is to get a gun and deal with any possible sneak attacks from the white-hatted man.
What's even more exciting is the F-4C's ground attack configuration, carrying four SUU-23/A cannon pods.
That's barely worse than the pay of a freelance mercenary who works a day and gets paid a day, not to mention the battlefield danger brought by a heavy infantry fighting vehicle.
But Sergei and we fought our way from Bomatou to Panaka in that country called ?go, driving the rebels out of the rainforest without anyone getting hurt, plus the salaries we sent back.
The heavy infantry fighting vehicle was not yet fully modified and was towed to the northern branch office in Algiersa. For the time being, the crew could only train for feint attacks based on the Amx-10p.
Unfortunately, Pang Gui crushed him along with his gun, so he could only call John to order two more.
Releasing the throttle, Kong Lu pulled the control lever to the right, driving the monster, whose speed had decreased, to perform a barrel roll.
Actually, there's nothing wrong with maintenance. I only flew for a little over an hour, mainly because I was unfamiliar with the entire maintenance process.
In addition to increasing thrust, the water injected into the combustion chamber can also "cool" the engine, so as to maintain supersonic cruise for a longer period of time.
I continued to explain the company's rules and regulations. The Firepower Defense team was indeed short of money to buy rifles, but the number one group all had their own firearms, and the number two group was treated the same.
They need fighter jets capable of intercepting the MiG-25; a speed of Mach 2.2 is no match for this "stainless steel rocket."
Although flying taxis are two-seaters, in old Europe, someone can lend me an airport runway, so high-altitude, low-speed breakthroughs can only be done one way.
Fuel exhausted, ammunition depleted, it's time for that expensive interdimensional flight training.
My men were already on high alert, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the gentleman in the white top hat.
I asked Anton.
As a result, the project was abandoned halfway through. When the research was resumed, it was discovered that before acquiring the F-4X, the F-15 had either been sold or lost!
Pierre didn't have that idea, but unfortunately, he was willing but unable to do so. I was busy with joint training after just recruiting people.
Unlike the Harrier's modest 190-liter internal water tank, the F-4x features two 2,500-pound conformal water tanks built into the spine between the air intake and the fuselage, with an internal water pump system connected to the engine pre-compressor coolant (PCC) injection system.
According to these younger mercenaries, we were used as infantry when we were young. Only the unlucky ones were equipped with a pickup truck. If we were unlucky, our only protection was the bulletproof vest we bought ourselves, which also resulted in the lowest casualty rate.
"The company will provide machine guns and rocket launchers. They can't choose the models of pistols they don't like; they will be given to them as a signing gift. As for their main weapons, they have to buy them themselves."
Of course, there's no way he'd be beheaded in reverse; Kong Lu is a man of martial virtue.
"Whoosh~~"
Remembering the name and code of every employee in the company is a basic quality of a boss of a large company.
The scarred woman took out her phone and used the temporary SIM card she had bought in Busa to call her comrade Sergei. She learned that no one would be coming to pick them up after a short break.
If the tank modifications are done too roughly, it might break down and stop working; if the fighter jet's dimensions are modified too roughly, it might only be able to be ejected.
The employees who boarded the vehicle quickly retreated into the tank's troop compartment; the bulletproof shields were not our first line of defense.
That scene was also recorded by the intelligence team, but what we saw was that the pilot was the boss of Jihuo Defense, so why not carry out a decapitation operation?
Anton answered along with another assault soldier.
The rocket launcher operator chose the SIG516 tactical patrol rifle, a 14.5-inch barrel tactical patrol rifle. No two other men in the battalion were equipped with this rifle; one was grazed by a shell and hit the receiver, and only one survived.
"Introduce yourself!"
Because the experts who participated in the project initially estimated that the F-4X could cruise at a speed of 2.7 mph before the entire system was completed.
There was more than one plane, and Kong Lu also took that opportunity to sized up my new employee.
The modifications that involved physical objects, but without the sea harrier as a reference, were still within the current capabilities of the modification module.
As I climbed up the ladder, I took off my gloves and finished teaching Shao Mi how to maintain the fighter jet.
When comrades meet, they never finish talking.
Similarly, in order to eliminate the opponent's advantage, a feint attack will be launched at night, and the concentrated fire will be used to attack the enemy's defenses.
The scarred woman was the first to fall.
Licking the ground will get me kissed by shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, so dropping bombs from a lower position is more suitable for me.
Those guns all had spirit rings. When Lao Shao Ma went to dispose of the corpses, he picked up a few that were in bad condition. The ones in bad condition were directly shot into parts by the 27mm machine gun.
The longer you stay, the more comprehensive your learning becomes. Our special operations brigade commanders are all selected from non-commissioned officers. Kong Lu heard that there are no officers in the country.
The reconnaissance battalion that Kong Lu destroyed with his machine gun was also a case of bad luck.
You can definitely buy them cheaply. Who cares about spirit rings? Just go for it!
In the very front row of the plane sat six women in their late seventies, who looked very capable and whose faces had no Slavic features.
The F-4X project ultimately failed, and the whereabouts of the original prototype are unknown, but Kong Lu was very interested in the project in that dimension.
Seeing how badly our comrades were doing, we wanted to improve our families' lives, but apart from not having the skills to kill, we couldn't find low-paying jobs in China.
Many people who have been through a lot of hardship when they return to society doubt that we can adjust our bad mindset and adapt to new roles very quickly.
The long, drawn-out farting sound finally rang out; it was the SUU-23/A cannon pod mounted on the fuselage roaring.
After contacting ground staff to collect the umbrella, Kong Lu glided towards the hangar.
Kong Lu listened and took notes, slowly matching the name and appearance in his mind.
Perfect, that's the taxi in my mind.
This won't do; we'll lose face big time.
"Among the company's loot, there are two SIG SG 553s in perfect condition. We can't sell them to him at a discount. Don't you want to?"
"They must be Mr. Sherlock's guests. I'm waiting for them."
The two men drove their military truck away from the airport, taking the six people back to Bogo village.
The M61 Vulcan eight-barrel Gatling gun it was equipped with was the first multi-barreled cannon that Kong Lu had come into contact with. Although its accuracy was that of a domestic product, its rate of fire could make up for it.
The new company we're applying to doesn't even have fighter jets?
The new vehicle is used to taunt and tank damage. Apart from two makeshift machine guns, it has almost no attack power, but we will use other guns to create a false impression of an attack.
The first two marksmen chose the Swiss SIG716 patrol, the latest model released by Swiss, and used 7.62x51mm ammunition.
After climbing back to low altitude, Konglu headed towards Mahga Airport.
Kong Lu was quite frugal; I only hung one rack for frontal self-defense, and the rest were reserved for these aerial bombs.
"When you were on the team, you used a SIG SG 552 and a Glock 17. If it were a different game, you would still choose those two."
The company instructors then explained the key points to be aware of.
The tail chute deployed, providing dimensional drag that allowed the aircraft to slow down significantly, even though its speed was still very low.
Before receiving permission from the control tower, the old monster slowed down and landed below the runway.
In non-combat situations, the basic salary is $3,000 per month; during combat missions, the daily mission allowance is $500; plus, there is no spoils of war for anyone.
Without comparison, there is no harm; several people have built new houses outside their homes, and their living standards have visibly improved.
Are we taking that bus? We still have our luggage to collect!
"Your name is Anton Jovanovic."
Kong Lu's self-introduction drew the attention of the six people back to me.
As an old-fashioned interceptor, the Phantom's maneuverability may be that weak, but before it was modified, it still had problems taking on interceptors of the same era.
The rocks above the sea were riddled with debris from thousands of 20mm bullets, and I, with a "careless" attitude, emptied the ammunition pod.
That was awesome!
"No, you and Ivan both want to."
We understand, Anton. Mercenaries bring their own weapons, and as employees of PMC, they are willing to use these publicly issued rifles.
Even though the caliber is different, the barrage of 4x1200 bullets is definitely weaker in firepower density than its predecessor, the Warthog.
"Welcome to Afica. Your name is Sherlock, the boss of Focused Fire Defense."
Plane maneuver, readjustment, and I dived back towards the sea above.
Help the boss win that "business war" by changing the trial contract to a formal contract.
That would not restore the original aerodynamic shape of the Phantom, reduce the overall weight of the aircraft, and the cruising speed would definitely not be able to increase from 2.7 to below 3.
Sergei arranged for eight people to stay, while Konglu returned to his room to pack his luggage.
Before I hung up the phone, a large shuttle bus drove right up behind us.
Compared to the large group of mercenaries who had endured half a year of hardship and struggle in the mercenary market without looking disheveled, those six people still retained some of the arrogance they had when they were in the team, but it was still relatively low.
The SIG SG 553 is an upgraded version of the SIG SG 552, with significant improvements in reliability and lifespan. It will be available in the market for under 5000 euros.
"Remember, make sure to break their shields before getting on the vehicle. Their Marder infantry fighting vehicles can fire programmable munitions, but they don't have shields to block the tungsten balls dropped by airburst rounds."
At that time, the Boeing 737-200 traveling to and from Busa passed through the clouds and headed towards Mahga Airport.
Before I even bought the plane tickets, I took a commercial flight to West Banya, since I needed to bring one back with me, and taking a passenger plane was the most convenient option.
When we first joined the army, we came out to find work.
Without heavy infantry fighting vehicles blocking its way, the T-64B1M is indeed vulnerable to concentrated fire, but the enemy's PMC308 airburst rounds are truly troublesome.
This one didn't leave its homeland to work in Afica, picking up a gun and continuing to do what we do best.
That gun was one of only three in the entire battalion, which meant we didn't have three marksmen.
Everyone got off the car with a puzzled look on their faces, and were then taken to a hangar in a corner of the airport, where their attention was drawn to the F-4K aircraft in the center.
I was selected back then, so as someone in the industry, my understanding of special forces is very limited, much less than that of the old Li special forces.
Although it only reaches the top speed of the MiG-25, it is enough to catch up with the enemy and inject bourgeois mentality into them with the AMRAAM missile, which is still under development.
