Chapter 143 Capital Knows No Borders, Suppression Operation (Please Subscribe!)
"Thump~ thump~ thump~~"
The brand-new mK30 2/Abm cannon poured bullets into the distance, while unseen Euros floated in mid-air: +500, +500, +500...
"Hahaha, this is so exciting!"
After emptying the entire ammunition supply chain, Anka sat in the gunner's position and exclaimed how exhilarating it was.
I wonder how many stock AKs you could buy with that much firepower, but even if you had twice as many AKs focusing fire on the Weasel S30, you still couldn't withstand that burst of airbursts.
Rheinmetall's factory price is this level; Xia Yu didn't raise the price to sell the accessories.
It can only be said that global prices are getting more and more expensive. Only in China can the cost of ammunition of the same caliber and performance index be reduced to RMB 1,000 per round. Even with profit, it can be several times cheaper than 500 euros.
Such a high investment is only possible for the model unit, the Anka Mechanized Infantry Battalion, which can afford three of these guns. For daily use, the Marder A3+btR-80S is more economical and practical.
"Mr. Sherlock, how do you use this missile?"
Having just enjoyed his newfound pleasure, Anka set his sights on the Kornet missile.
Jihuo Defense doesn't even have transport planes, let alone aerial refueling aircraft. My contractor, who takes on subcontracting work, sometimes acts as the client.
Hans installed surveillance cameras in several warehouses outside the port to cover up some issues of security and confidentiality, and the port's cargo throughput also helped to conceal many things.
Working in the PMC industry and doing part-time arms dealing, port cities are definitely more convenient.
Before entering the 21st century, in the region of Anka alone, wars between nations were common, and most of them were civil wars. The fact that the pro-government faction dared to instigate a civil war proves that we have a source of water, and that there is no shadow of other countries behind us.
The F-4K is a two-seat fighter jet, with the pilot in the back seat and the radar/weapons officer in the front.
The White Hat bankruptcy directly impacted Pierre's background. We resented the concentrated fire on defense because of the loss of our interests, but those who benefited should thank Chen Lu, not to mention the officials who hadn't even entered the fray yet.
Old Yu came to do some work, but unfortunately, his nemesis Sasu was busy with tomorrow's tasks, leaving only Shao Mi to help in the kitchen.
When the company was still large, Chen Lu was capable of talking to every employee, but now that there are fewer employees and the business is more complicated, I can only start by getting to know the grassroots management.
After the clearing operation is over, maintaining a certain level of bombing intensity will not only cause losses to the rebels in terms of personnel and equipment, but also deter these newly joined militants.
It's possible that a war could break out because of the lack of attention from the African Union, the United Nations, and a few small countries that don't have significant investments in the region, but there will likely be more friction between the two sides.
“We told them that they can’t contact us with any business that isn’t related to airplanes.”
Next time, I'll bring two cars up to the warehouse, cover them with tarpaulins, and then I'll come to the warehouse to pick them up in the next month and a half. After the modifications are finished, I'll return them.
As dawn broke, Lyman and his gang returned by car, bringing back a rich spoils of war.
ARES is a very bad smokescreen. I want others to know the secrets of the system and use our services when they need to conduct long-range operations.
The vehicle drove back to the camp, and Hans looked at the Weasel A3 that hadn't been loaded yet and the BTR-80 that had been unloaded from the double trailer and said.
Thanks to the gradual entry of seventh-generation fighters into service, many operation manuals have been declassified and can be found online. The booklet that Hans gave us was not a direct printout of the old Magnesium.
Hans put the business card away.
"By the way, that was given to you by your uncle. A company called ARES wants to get to know you through me."
It doesn't require weapons officers to manually input various data. It has a continuous calculation landing point mode (ccIp) that is not available for aircraft of the same period, such as the A-6 Intruder, A-7 Corsair II, and F-111 Aardvark. However, it is still usable.
Because of this business battle, ARES lost a client. Although we didn't lose money on that deal, we still wanted to develop a new client with whom we couldn't cooperate long-term.
Unfortunately, after being driven out of Panaka, Anka's strength was also slightly reduced. Before retreating into the rainforest, they had to recruit a lot of militia to maintain the organization of the motorized infantry brigade.
Never mind, you've seen through me.
Yes, even if you exchange tens of thousands of dollars for gold, it wouldn't amount to more than a few pounds. Gold mined outside your home would also take a long time to decompose. What's the point of having that kind of money if you don't have it?
Now that the rebels' tanks are almost exhausted, Xia Yu has approved the equipping of the Busa infantry battalion with those missiles, mainly to defend against one or more neighbors.
Being in a prime location meant getting the most benefits, but it was our own people who benefited the least. Among them, Golden Oak seized the port base of the Southern Branch, while Whitefoot Alliance, due to its local background, swallowed up the most valuable Northern Branch.
On the way back, Big Busa finally got down to business with Hans.
Hans waved his hand, speaking with obvious concern.
I'm the kind of person who feels great on vacation, but the company just finished its White Hat campaign, and apart from staying at headquarters to maintain equipment, there's really nothing to do.
If you're unfamiliar with that system, even throwing metal bombs won't be very accurate.
As for going back to my room to watch movies or TV series, that's something I do when I'm at work. I'm planning to steal your salary!
Anka has always been a major concern for Xia Yu, but before finishing the battle against Panaka, we discovered that the military budget had been overspent. We could potentially allocate an equivalent amount of land forces for rainforest clearing, so that time we mainly focused on military contracting, supplemented by a large-scale elite force, and also used it as a training exercise.
Deploying troops on the border, upgrading military equipment, and increasing military spending are all things Chen Lu is currently doing.
Old Magnesium's marine bases are distributed all over the world, and our PMC company follows suit to do business everywhere. The French are doing the same thing, except that our bases are concentrated in the area around Chen Luying.
Big Busa suddenly remembered something, took out a business card from his wallet and handed it to Hans.
Isn't that the legendary idea that capital has national borders? Hans was slightly shocked, but after a moment's thought, he could understand.
He suspected that this border rainforest might be hiding hundreds of armed groups.
Sasu was full of energy.
You can't make phone calls to buy insurance, and the upfront fees will be a bit more expensive since non-members don't get discounts.
If we were to follow the rebels all the way to the White House, we would be the first to be blown up by Xia Yu's bomb.
However, our approach is quite different from traditional shipboard security. The company has so few personnel gathered around each ship, concentrating our firepower and being on standby at all times – that's the hallmark of Jihuo Defense.
Being broke is bad, but at least you can still get braised food in Anka.
That would be the most dangerous combination.
Even the Soviet Union itself was reluctant to open up its equipment with the Kornet, and the main anti-tank force at the grassroots level was still the previous generation of the Kobelco. However, it sold well in the foreign trade market, which was one of the reasons why Osa initially chose the Kornet.
There wasn't even a full bag of pig tails and ears under the truck. Those people must have heard from somewhere that Hans liked to eat those, so they collected those by beating up seventy-odd people. The rest of the meat was distributed to the villagers here.
Parliament has naturally reduced its investment in us. Although it's difficult to see immediate results, real-world exercises always lead to mistakes.
Whether your fighter jet has an in-flight refueling system is also important; you provide a complete modification service.
The harm they received was so little that they gave Chen Lu a small red envelope, which is practically a thing of the past.
"I understand. Thank you, General, on your behalf."
If the labor costs can be covered, how can so little equipment be left out here to rust?
And so, as I had hoped, I finally got the job Hans brought.
Before leaving the port and returning to the village, they found it quiet. Apart from Sasu and Team Number 2 who stayed behind, Lehmann, Kohler, and Team Number 1 were nowhere to be seen.
“Mr. Sherlock, Chen Lu means that you must set off after the rainy season, so it may be delayed until the delivery of the eighth batch of goods. At that time, could you deliver the vehicle to the rear?”
Without a weapons officer to share the ground attack duties, Hans can focus his attention on defending against portable anti-aircraft missiles.
Those bombing missions, which harass and tire out the enemy, yield less results than attacking a few armored battalions, are not worth as much money, so there are no requirements under KPI.
Without a few heavy machine guns, a few modified pickup trucks, and dozens or even hundreds of old AKs, one wouldn't dare to call himself a general.
"And one more thing I haven't forgotten to mention: the spies Chen Lu planted within the rebel army sent back a message saying that Anka has replenished its manpower and armed a large number of soldiers. In order to contain my recovery of strength, they hope that the concentrated fire defense can carry out the bombing mission as soon as possible."
Big Busa was speaking from a different perspective. It may seem that we have fewer war chariots, but our defenses are like killing gods, capable of catching the enemy's concentrated fire!
My delivery cycle for each batch is one and a half months. This is the eighth batch delivered by Busa Armored Battalion, which means we haven't had two months yet.
By purchasing the company's annual escort membership, you can easily eliminate pirates with just one phone call if you encounter them. They will arrive at the scene as quickly as possible and physically remove the pirates.
You should know that Chen Lu had a lot of generals after the rebellion. Some of these "generals" were infantry company commanders under my command, and at most they were lieutenants.
Jihuo Defense has a long-term contract, and the bombing missions are carried out at most once a month. Therefore, after retreating into the border rainforest area to engage in combat, the company's guaranteed income is between one million and two million US dollars.
Sasu said with a look of interest.
Anton, holding a gun, sat in the passenger seat of the man and chatted awkwardly with his boss.
Earning only 500,000 dollars per flight is not worth investing in overly professional equipment. It's too late to upgrade quickly after you've made the money first.
Although Xia Yu doesn't have a river, as the capital of a country, it would be convenient to have a seventh small city without a coastline.
When a whale falls, all things come to life. The white-hatted creature was the size of a whale, but it was still a small elephant. Vultures and hyenas swarmed down to devour its remains before it died.
The concentrated fire that defeated the White Hats has come out of our sights, and even better news is that our Harrier is short-legged, and our company provides private aerial refueling services for the entire Little Anka.
"What's the point of drills? Treat real combat as drills, just get it done."
Two sub-adult sows, whether castrated or not, will taste slightly worse than castrated boars, but we're not good at turning something rotten into something magical.
If the rebels react the first time, will they still be able to defend themselves the seventh and eighth time?
Hans decided to give Sassu some face in front of the newcomer.
Hans modified and integrated the radar and weapon operations into the rear compartment, but the front compartment still retained the operation functions of ground-attack weapons.
Without supplies and support, the stationed employees either died or fled, and the mining rights fell into the hands of our company.
But Hans knew me well; he knew I was terrible at shooting and couldn't hit the prey, so he felt justified in staying to guard the base. He even boasted to others that he hadn't hunted enough prey and that he wasn't interested in hunting anymore.
“We’ve gone to Shaoman’s house. This village is close to the grassland, and recently the Red River pigs have been rampant, ruining many crops.”
Honghe pigs are all long-haired pigs. Before all the hair under their ears and tails is removed, they are braised in a special broth, filling the entire kitchen with a delicious aroma.
Xia Yu advised kindly.
Whether it's training or practice, these are the local troops. The several mechanized infantry battalions around Xiayu fought very poorly, except for the Busa mechanized infantry battalion, which was the most outstanding.
Anton seems like a man of few words, but the art of being a boss is to encourage employees to express themselves.
In Konluga, thanks to its geographical advantages, Jihuo Defense can also carry out underwater business in the future. However, in the West Philippines, where escort fleets from various countries can reach and pirates are few, it is an industry with no future.
Several infantry and armored battalions were wiped out as a whole, and even the old PMC company's white top hat was not spared.
Before completing her first bombing mission, Chen Lu planned to travel to a distant place and find some short-term contracts to fill the two-month gap.
"Since you've got something to do, I'll go to the airport with you tomorrow. You can go back and have some fun with him."
"Yes, boss, that's too rushed! After you finish studying the manual, you should at least practice!"
"This is quite expensive; one shot can buy a Mercedes-Benz G-Class. I think it would be more cost-effective for us to conduct live-fire exercises during the exercises in Busa."
Is there work coming in?
"Of course, sharing a base with them makes sleeping at night feel less dangerous."
With tanks, and even more trucks, we're considered top-tier among border armed forces. Only these flour merchants can compare to us in terms of equipment; the rest of us are all large karaoke machines.
When my uncle Meng Qiao went abroad to attend a conference, he heard from some classmates that before the other party's boss died, the mines controlled by several branch companies were attacked by local armed forces.
We started by talking about the end of his enlistment, but we quickly ran out of things to talk about. By the time Anton was hoarse from talking, we had just arrived at the port.
Sasu is both excited and apprehensive; I'm afraid I've done something wrong.
That also brought PMC a small number of contracts. The previous phase of Jihuo Defense's work was not focused on these rebel remnants hiding in the rainforest, nor on the various warlord armies.
Hans's arms business is just a side job; the goods are sold at relatively high prices, and he even includes free shipping, partly because he has to take care of my PMC business.
Especially during the period when the fleet size will shrink in the future, Hans will not have subspace fuel tanks, and the pilots I recruited will not have them.
I went back to my room and found a manual for the AN/ASq-91 weapon delivery computer, which Hans tossed to my gunner.
Before Big Busa and Kuhn could even wave goodbye, Hans and Shaomi split into two heavy trucks, towing eight armored vehicles towards the port.
"Is there a problem? Or should we cooperate like you did later?"
"You'll be able to launch the operation once you've dealt with that batch of tanks that need to be modified in those two days."
That only further highlights how expensive wars are; as long as the enemy's main battle tanks can be destroyed, anti-tank missiles are worth buying no matter how expensive they are.
