Chapter 145 A New Lucky Target, A New Business (Please Subscribe!)
This is a residual placer gold deposit located in a valley, with the ore-bearing area extending from the surface to about 2 meters below.
Apart from using some old, small machinery to assist in mining, the rebels relied entirely on manpower for everything else.
Because manpower is worthless here, not to mention that after several firefights after entering the rainforest, they gained a large number of prisoners.
Keeping prisoners is not cost-effective as it consumes the already scarce food supply every day. However, sending these guys to work in the mines, providing them with only one meal a day, would generate economic value.
Sasu is also a shrewd businessman, but Xia Yu is going to sabotage him today.
"Prepare to drop bombs on the largest mineral deposit!"
"yes!"
Having learned of the situation at the main camp via radio, the rebels stationed at the mine were already prepared. They pointed their anti-aircraft machine guns at the sky, intending to shoot down the F-4Ks with 12.7mm and 14.5mm bullets.
Back then, there was a case in Yuexi where an anti-aircraft firepower network of 37mm anti-aircraft guns and 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine guns took down an F-4C. But isn't 14.5mm too weak?
Even Xia Yu's upgraded bulletproof canopy couldn't be penetrated by less than 20mm, not to mention that he had reinforced the airframe structure. Therefore, the F-4K was fearless in the face of a hail of bullets and dived straight down.
Although the profit is still 10 to 20 times that of machine gun ammunition, I can still make a killing off just the Anka mechanized infantry battalion. The Shininghan rocket artillery battalion also looks very "lucrative".
Yes, that's to say, it's less wild.
Historical records show that Kennea, the only WRC event held in Afica, stopped hosting the race in 1953 and suspended the Kennea station in the early 21st century, only officially returning this year.
Even if domestically produced missiles of the same caliber were sold at rock-bottom prices, guided and extended-range missiles would still cost 30,000 RMB per shot. Not to mention these small-caliber, guided missiles, which are essentially cars, equivalent to houses in small cities flying all over the world.
Making money involves rigging a little to secure contracts.
“He’s bad, General Panaka, welcome to Busaga.”
"Boom~ Boom~ Boom~~"
As a former tank driver and now the owner of PMC, a company specializing in main armored vehicle combat, I prefer a more aggressive racing style like WRC.
"After a 17-year hiatus, wRc Keniya Station returns for a brand new season!"
My colleagues and I thought that was the end of it, but the concentrated fire defense led by Huang You charged forward and wiped out the White Hats' proud fighter squadron. They even shot down our Mirage 2000, took down the boss Pierre, and ended the White Hats' reign.
"By the way, they haven't finished delivering the upgrade contract for the Anka Mechanized Infantry Battalion, have they? And during the month of the last bombing mission, they also had other contracts to take on!"
"Isn't that one of their fighter jets?"
On the outskirts of Xiayu, at the Justin Rocket Artillery Battalion's base, Battalion Commander Justin sneezed.
Standing on the transport plane's gangway, Monjo spoke in English to the white general behind him.
Now that the rebels have lost the city as a shield, Xia Yu has equipped Anka's mechanized infantry battalion with a rocket artillery battalion, equipped with 4 sets of Hail rocket launchers.
"yes!"
That's a common phenomenon in Afica; they may look like they have nothing in terms of weapons and equipment, but ammunition supply is always a problem.
WRC stands for World Rally Championship.
That kind of turboprop transport aircraft can also be called C-8. Kenniya bought 10 DHC-5Ds to restart the production line back then, and they are still in use today.
Whether it's a failure or something that has to be obtained from the ground, Shi Ning must confirm whether Kong Lu was beheaded or faked his death and escaped during the bombing.
If you can earn 500,000 yuan per flight, then the fewer of those packages you sell, the worse they are.
Monthly contracts are very economical for a large company like Jihuo Defense, which is one of the reasons why Moncho is taking a slow approach to acquiring fewer rocket launchers.
The Monjo is like the Panaka; I don't have a preference for either of those old models. I bought the F-4K purely as a bonus for the Harrier, thinking I could make some money by fixing it up.
Because the entire battalion only had four Hailstorm heavy weapons, no matter how lazy they were, the paint chipping on the launch tubes was very minor due to excessive wiping.
Because it can only carry 8 tons of cargo, Montgomery doesn't really consider those large planes suitable for mixed passenger and cargo transport. They're only good for carrying people, and are used when important officials travel abroad.
Retreating below Busaga, the total fuel gauge stopped alarming.
If you want that much fun again, you'll have to wait a few more months.
Panaka didn't have a code name called Monjo. I heard from Keniya that there was a guy named Weasel who drove a Weasel infantry fighting vehicle. He first crushed Massar's rebels, and then wiped out the White Hat branch.
Fighter weapons officers cannot be pilots of aircraft, but they must be able to withstand low overloads caused by maneuvering.
When attacking Massar later, 10 sets were moved to the rear, but the 122mm caliber was still too powerful against reinforced concrete. The results were small and 3 sets were destroyed by the rebels.
"I'm speaking carefully," Meng Qiao said.
After welcoming the distinguished guest into the hangar, Meng Qiao continued to introduce me to the aircraft.
Outside the vehicle yard next to the camp's office building, several sergeants were leading soldiers in cleaning rocket launchers.
Three violent explosions followed in quick succession. Before the smoke cleared, several large ore trucks were reduced to parts, and three craters, each 4 to 5 meters in diameter and 2 to 3 meters deep, appeared in the center of the ore deposit.
I didn't know that I had been targeted by some unscrupulous merchant; I just assumed it was due to the change in weather or that Da Xin had caught a cold.
If you're still not tired of watching F1 and other sports, why not watch WRC compete for the championship on tracks with increasingly better road conditions?
The M61 Vulcan Gatling gun roared to life, unleashing a burst of 700 rounds of 20mm autocannon ammunition, silencing the machine gun position.
Looking back, the results were not bad.
Having cannons to fire them isn't like that. Every day it's just maintenance, nothing but maintenance. It wasn't until a few months later that I went to Marsal to have a good time.
“You’re naturally willing to do business even if there’s no business, but we’ll have to discuss the specifics before we can decide.”
Just a few days later, the Jihuo Defense team who came to the airport to pick up the plane saw a North American-made DHC-5 "Buffalo" transport plane landing on the runway.
"Finished work and ready to return."
"Beep~ Beep~ Beep~~"
Well, you could say it's aiding the enemy!
Compared to Formula One racing, which has much lower requirements for both track and vehicle, WRC uses production cars as prototypes. Each manufacturer develops its own racing vehicles and competes in various terrains around the world, including rainforests, mud, snow, deserts, and winding mountain roads.
Over the next few days, I completed the full-length, low-angle editing of the bombing video and sent the compressed file to Sasu. Shortly after, I received a call from him.
Meng Qiao asked.
"No, for now. You're still resting."
"Very satisfied. They should have bombed us so hard, so that old dog Kong Lu would know how rare and easy peace is."
"Thump~ thump~ thump~~"
If that's the case, Meng Qiao suddenly realized that selling rockets was more cost-effective than using them to attack enemy positions himself!
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~~"
Shi Ning lost his current status because of his military achievements, but I am not a participant in war; peace is what I yearn for.
The organization is still downsized, and the amount of ammunition is also not much more.
The Kennea Air Force is not equipped with 21 F-5s. Although it is only a heavy fighter, it is much weaker than the US Air Force, which only has Su-25s, and cannot form seven eight-aircraft formations.
If you can't hit it, then there's a way. Monjo pressed his index finger heavily on the red machine gun firing button under the control stick.
"Puff~ Puff~ Puff~ Puff~~"
His father had risen to the rank of general, and before joining the army, he had risen through the ranks like a rocket, eventually becoming a field officer and being sent abroad to study, where he became Shi Ning's classmate.
Habits can become bad, and all newcomers go through this process. I'm the only one like Meng Qiao who "learned on his own."
Several large-caliber heavy machine guns began to roar continuously, but due to the skill of the machine gunners and the density of the fire net, not a single shot hit the old monster's skin.
It was only 10:30 a.m. The only problem with the bombing operation was that the preparations after takeoff could not be controlled within a few hours from takeoff to landing.
According to Da Anka, the entire battalion only has 320 rounds of ammunition, which can be used in two salvos. They will have to use them sparingly.
Sasu's classmate, with such a rank, is already a general. The military strength of the Keniya region is much weaker than that of the United States. The annual military expenditure is several times higher, and they have even trained their own special forces. Why would they need the services of PMC?
As two fighter jets from the same era as the F-4, the gap between the F-4 and F-5 was smaller than the gap between the F-15 and F-16.
The straight-line distance is less than 700 kilometers, and the round trip also uses up 90% of the fuel, mainly due to the consumption during training.
That job is difficult. It's not that the threshold is low; he first needs to have a seventh-generation fighter jet with a certain payload capacity. Even if he has a rocket artillery system, he still needs to deploy it to the rear of Marsa to reach the enemy.
"Nothing is impossible. You can discuss this further when you are in the capital, and things will be much more peaceful down here."
“He’s bad, Mr. Sherlock.”
PS: wRc returns to Kenya in the real world in 2021!
In comparison, the rebels' Type 63 107mm rocket launchers were more flexible and mobile, and field camps near Masar City, such as Xiayu, were generally attacked.
"certainly!"
Monjo is definitely a super-rich guy, but I'd be more interested in F1 racing.
It's about the most efficient human labor. Even if we used an excavator, it would take much more effort. The bomb's power is less than that of a 155mm howitzer shell, after all, the explosive charge is less than that of a 203mm naval gun shell from the Seventh War.
Panaka also became interested, hoping that the F-4K of the concentrated fire defense would give him more enjoyment than the F-5F.
Panaka said with a touch of emotion.
After having Shao Mi replace the memory cards for the action cameras under the plane, Meng Qiao glanced at the time.
Achoo!
“That’s bad, there really are people in the world who eavesdrop on your conversation.”
"General, are you satisfied with your service?"
After several complex maneuvers, Shi Ning saw that there was still enough fuel left, so he led Hans back into supersonic flight mode.
Sasu's distinction between public and private matters is rather vague. As long as it affects the rainforest clearing operation two months ago, it's up to us what contracts Jihuo Defense accepts.
"You still dislike the F-4 more than the F-5. Can you come and take a look?"
In addition, Xia Yu himself does not have more than 20 sets of BM-21 Grad rocket launchers, nor is he the famous Hailstorm.
Compared to when we set off, when we immediately got off the train and were given a full Immelman suit, the return trip felt more like an acclimatization training session.
As long as we can finalize the contract, even taking that guy to the sky won't be a problem.
Before sliding into the hangar, Hans climbed up from the front cabin, looking as if he had been pulled out of the water.
As a former colony of Britain, Keninga is predominantly English-speaking, and its business will definitely expand further north. I think I need to take a course in Arabic.
"Boom!"
"Yes, you used it to bombard the rebels next week, and Xia Yu was very satisfied with it. The general can't call you whenever he needs it."
Monjo didn't think it was aiding the enemy, because the bombing mission itself included deterrence, and compared to the main camps, the mine was mainly for deterrence.
It's hypothetical that there's no premium, but rockets are inherently cheap.
They just hauled the pickup truck and left; the target was much smaller than a truck, and it wasn't even pulled by a donkey. It was difficult for even drones to capture.
Xia Yu's original stockpile was long gone. Those 320 rounds were bought at $8,000 each and are still floating underwater!
Besides the two Super Sidewinder missiles for self-defense, the F-4K emptied its hardpoints, and the $500,000 bonus was successfully earned.
If it was unintentional, then that business deal had nothing to do with that event.
The battalion commander said that the entire battalion, along with the Anka mechanized infantry battalion, was deployed together to the border rainforest where the remnants of the rebels were hiding.
"Here's the thing, you don't have a single classmate willing to help you. I heard you defeated the White Hats, and I have a business deal I'd like to introduce to them. It should take about a month. If the concentrated fire defense isn't interested, I'll personally fly to Busaga."
Compared to that trashy seventh generation like Anka, Old Jia's family is the real military family.
The F-4K called the control tower, requesting a landing. It deployed its drag chute and came to a smooth stop below the runway.
Since there was no certainty about what might happen outside, Meng Qiao patiently waited for the other party to arrive.
Shi Ning said it had nothing to do with the event. Before I entered some keywords, I found useless information.
Shi Ninghan is a little younger than Sasu, but his personality is more unruly, probably because of your general father!
Shi Ning asked Shao Mi to help him get the anti-G suit; it was the first time I'd ever discussed business with him.
Hans followed up with bombs, the first three mK82s knocking the ore deposit away.
Monjo was about to invite Panaka off the bus, but she turned out to be more interested in the F-4K.
A small number of people may be less familiar with F1, but WRC is one of the seven minor racing series of the FIA, on par with F1.
Stepping down from established PMC companies, specializing in ground armored warfare and air defense counterattacks—is that exactly what we need?
Just like Hans himself said, "If I join the Air Force, I can fly a Tornado. I hope I won't be a liability when a real Tornado comes along."
"Can't you? You wanted to join the Air Force back then, but we told you the Army needed you."
When Sasu asked about that, Meng Qiao suddenly felt that nothing bad was about to happen.
At this point, there are no battles to fight, so we should patiently wait for the next move.
The system printing should be able to keep the cost below $1,000 per print, and selling it at a unit price of $7,000 would yield a profit of at most 6 times.
Before hanging up the phone, Meng Qiao went online and searched for news about Kenniya that hadn't been shut down.
The situation appears calm on the surface, but something thorny must have happened to prompt one of the enemy generals to deploy concentrated firepower.
"Of course, it seems like the bad ones have nothing to do with any activities. They'll accept whatever they think is suitable, and if it's suitable, then that's fine. It's just because they're considering your side."
