Chapter 164 A New Contract Requires More Money (Please Subscribe!)
The reason is simple: he can't see it from this angle at all.
"Enemy tracking! Enemy tracking..."
Xia Yu snapped the slow-reacting radar alarm receiver shut off.
Sasu really hired some experts. He only turned on the radar when they were flying overhead. He had a lot of strategic composure. If he hadn't kept a backup plan, they would have been shot down during the slow dive. It's a pity he made a wrong move.
"There are missiles, shoulder-fired..."
Hans, in the back seat, shouted a warning.
After receiving additional training, he has developed the habit of paying attention to the air situation in the rear hemisphere.
"There's no need to worry, we've already increased our speed before they even launch."
Xia Yu comforted Hans from the front.
Indeed, there is no need to worry. Although shoulder-fired air defense missiles generally have a maximum speed of Mach 2, their F-4K can only fly at Mach 1.9 (and not at low altitudes).
"This is really troublesome. Those anti-aircraft vehicles are even more effective against you than tanks. Although the Kornets integrated under the turrets of the Marder S30 can destroy them, as long as the enemy fires first, the launch tubes will be easily penetrated!"
However, due to size limitations, the missile engine can only operate for a few seconds at most, and the maximum tail-chase range is only 6 kilometers.
The main types were TV-guided. When the laser-guided types came out, the later models of those two fighters lacked laser guidance capabilities, so they needed a lead aircraft with a laser designator pod to guide them in dropping bombs.
Thinking of that, Busa stretched out his left hand, and saw the orderly next to me, Big White, deftly hand him a freshly cut cigar.
The effect was very bad, or rather, the concentrated fire defense was too cunning. The relatively primitive gun-missile combination tactic of the ZSU-23-4 self-propelled low-explosive gun and the SAM-24 could shoot down our F-4K.
Xia Yu doesn't want a cheap and affordable motorcycle, but rather a supercar with the best value for money.
Xia Yu didn't even release the heat decoys before the SAM-24, exceeding its pursuit limit, initiated its self-destruct sequence.
As long as I can sell my refurbished Su-24s, Shilkashe will have successfully made money from both ends.
Yu Peng introduced the situation with a serious expression.
"The AGM-65 Maverick air-to-ground missile, which you also call the Maverick air-to-ground missile."
"...The situation in Xiaozhi is not like that. The rebels have recently upgraded their equipment, including anti-aircraft missiles that we didn't originally have. The Alek River anti-aircraft vehicle is the only type that can threaten your aircraft, which has also reduced the difficulty of the previous clearing operations."
The next step wasn't negotiation, but mainly the details of the contract and the price.
"One group of seven changed their training subjects, selected eight people to form a laser guidance group in front of the enemy, and coordinated with the glider crew. The mole vehicle crew and the remaining four people rode the Weasel S3 that remained in Panaka and arrived in the border rainforest to provide support operations."
What kind of missile is that cheap one, and what kind of weapon is the other one?
Alternatively, one could operate like Yu Peng, using ground-based laser guidance.
Yes, Monjo is preparing to deploy the Paveway laser-guided bomb, which is also laser-guided.
It would be strange if customers were interested in that, but in reality, we wouldn't use that missile. Another weapon can do the same thing, and it's cheaper.
Despite being a graduate of a regular military academy, Sasu wasn't exactly a capable officer, and I also recognized the threat posed by the Alek River.
If that's the case, then we'd dare to drop bombs from high altitudes again, right?
However, the claim that the Da Niu missile is cheap is false; the material cost of printing just one is definitely over ten thousand.
These are four 23mm cannons. As long as it's for anti-aircraft purposes, with the muzzles level, even if they penetrate the front of the Marder S30, its weak firepower is enough to destroy the entire vehicle's sights and aiming devices.
Out of a desire to keep something in reserve, and considering that the client only required precise positioning for bombing raids later on, I only offered a 500,000-yuan iron bomb package. I had no idea that this would drive the rebels to desperation and force them to upgrade their equipment.
The objective was to evacuate from a dangerous area without ground guidance personnel; the worst-case scenario was a quiet retreat from the village, which would require firing shots.
Based on Xia Yu's offer of 700,000 for a T-72AV and 500,000 for a conventional long-range bombing raid, and taking into account the export price and secondhand circulation price of the Da Niu missile.
The periscope and camera on the front of this creature were destroyed, making it practically blind. If the surrounding friendly forces were still effective, it would be very difficult for the enemy rocket launcher gunner to pick it off and open it.
"Made in the United States, equipped with a 136kg multi-purpose mK-19 armor-piercing explosive/fragmentation warhead. The batch you got is a bit old, but the problem of the explosive charge being off by a few meters is minor."
The boss's straightforward remarks excited the employees.
Everyone says that tanks and infantry fighting vehicles have low profit margins (due to their age), but they can't compare to the profits from fighter jets. The airframes are much cheaper, not to mention the consumables.
Meng Qiao kept it a secret.
Apart from my Weasel crew, who switched from ground-to-ground to air-to-ground, Monjo assigned tasks to everyone present.
There's no lower limit to the company's self-defense and counterattack budget; whatever missiles are unusable, we'll use them. But when it comes to business, we should save money wherever possible, as long as the same effect can be achieved.
*Smack!*
In the conference room, Meng Qiao opened the PowerPoint presentation that I had hastily prepared but failed, and introduced it to Xia Yu and his group of generals and officials.
That's bad news. Yu Pengmao plans to visit Jihuo Defense soon and take the opportunity to promote my Su-24.
But does Firepower Defense need that kind of veteran fencer?
White countries are neither rich nor poor, and for example, we can't offer lower prices for things like Kentucky. In those countries, we would pay more attention to cost-effectiveness, so you have to act even more genuinely.
The basic operational quote for the concentrated fire defense is $1 million. It's not that a single takeoff and landing by Montgomery costs $1 million, but rather that it covers missile launches.
It's definitely a movie-style scenario; it doesn't need to be that complicated. A single large unit could wipe out an entire rebel brigade. But reality still has to follow some logic.
Unlike Jihuo Defense, which offers cheap prices but has terrible service.
The cost of launching a single high-powered missile that hits the target is 1 million; if the target is hit by another missile, the cost is halved to 500,000.
While Old Anka and Sasu are both here, I must meet with Yu Peng to discuss the harassment operation and the subsequent bombing contract.
While controlling costs, solving problems perfectly for customers is a matter of self-cultivation for every boss.
If you really want the A-11, that's fine too. As a missile that ceased production in the 2010s, both the Phantom and Harrier missiles carried the A-11.
An ace pilot who shot down 5 fighter jets, he thought his battlefield reaction skills were a joke!
The ground personnel coordinated the operation with 500,000 troops. Because the missile required laser guidance, the AGm-65E, Yu Pengde dispatched a glider crew and a special operations brigade to break into the enemy's front line and illuminate the exposed Yu Pengmao River with lasers.
So now they're holding back, going straight down the gem road, and precisely targeting our Alek River instead.
"Gentlemen, yesterday's bombing had a slightly positive outcome, but the downside was that you received a new contract."
The remaining vacancies can be filled by mercenaries. As long as we buy weapons from Shilkashey, I can help make the connections.
The rebels above were also stunned by Meng Qiao's smooth maneuvering. What was going on? Why did the enemy seem to have come unprepared?
Therefore, Meng Qiao was not exaggerating; I was simply listing facts to make Xia Yu take it seriously.
It was a combined bombing operation, primarily using air platforms with ground support, to eliminate the rebels' anti-aircraft firepower after clearing out the combatants.
"Idiot, satellite phone!"
For example, I would propose Plan A: First, find a place to capture a Tornado (IdS) ground attack aircraft. Then, print out a few AGM-88 anti-radiation missiles from the weapons list and mount them. Then, fly under the rebels' heads with a slight sway, trick the Yu Pengmao River radar into turning on, and then launch them one by one along the radar waves to send them to their deaths.
Alright, then, those remaining rebels in the Yu Pengmao River, if they didn't intend to, should survive that month.
“If you’re worried, go back to Europe and return the goods in the next couple of days. Whether it’s overuse of missiles or too extravagant, they’ll find out then.”
Finally, we got some work. Self-propelled low-altitude guns are worth much more than tanks. Even on the back alley of the Alek River, if we hadn't made a profit that time...
Upon hearing that, Bai Ge laughed in support.
That said, later on, we used laser-guided weapons. It seems the rebels also had some laser-guided gadgets, but even if they didn't, we hid them well. However, we managed to trick them out of some worthless items that time, which also earned Monjo a new contract.
That's what I said, but before dialing the number, I still habitually put the cigar in my mouth.
Let's do it!
My plan succeeded, and it also bought us some time. Before that incident, Xia Yu wouldn't dare to send people to bomb us again!
"General, I hope he can communicate with the troops below as soon as possible. The video only shows one vehicle, but the rebel camp has been split in half. Everyone knows that our camp has no other camps on the Alek River."
Hans raised his hand and asked.
"Oh no, he'll wait outside for you. You go to your meeting with your boss, and he'll bring that to you too."
What's rather unusual is that a war in northern Afica a few years later spurred a "trade-in" program for that aircraft. Shilkashe used his connections to get a piece of the action and refurbished several of his old, stockpiled aircraft to a combat-ready state.
As for what to do with the equipment being operated by people, in those few months, there were many armored officers and technical sergeants who escaped from Bomatou and Panaka.
As a competent businessman, Meng Qiao has never been able to gauge the other party's bottom line without having a sense of proportion.
That has to be done by Meng Qiao himself. He found a lawyer who understands weapons and combat!
Those days, Yu Peng still looked like he was doomed, but he had no choice but to come and seek refuge with me.
What is this species?
"Boss, do you have any questions? Where are your top-of-the-line missiles?"
We sent the Anka mechanized infantry battalion there for training. Trading such expensive equipment for the rebels' cheap stuff would be a loss. Spending money to resolve the issue is the most acceptable solution for Congress, and even then, the amount of money would be too small.
After gathering everyone present, Meng Qiao first held an internal meeting.
Busa slapped the orderly's hat off, then said rudely.
What a bad person! They helped me get tons of gold coins.
Sasu put on his hat, picked up the portable hard drive, and left the office with great efficiency.
For the rebels, Soviet weapons were still more cost-effective. They could buy a few European or American weapons, but they were hard to find at the time. Moreover, Shilkashe, which had established transportation channels, could deliver the weapons to their doorsteps.
Looking up at the ghostly figure disappearing into a large dot, Busa's face remained expressionless.
The unscrupulous merchants continue to escalate the problem, and how can they possibly recognize its minor nature when things are falling apart at each level?
"The rebels are equipped with Alek River self-propelled low-altitude guns, and the known number is one, but that's probably all. Yu Peng, you need to take them out."
With the business deal falling through, Yu Pengmao was naturally unhappy. He casually asked about Busa's recent situation and how the two Alek River trucks were doing, and that's when the accident happened.
Spending too little money to use those low-tech weapons to fight the rebels—isn't there anything more satisfying than that?
“Beep...beep...Mr. Shilkashe, you are Busa, you need fewer weapons…”
As for the cost of the strike, it was also well controlled, as those were the MK series aerial bombs with added guidance components.
The PMC market in Afica quietly took off, but few companies were aware of it until it became obvious to us – by then it was too late.
Before flying away from the border rainforest, Monjo piloted the F-4K Konluga back and then turned around to head to Xiayu.
The inferior weapons our soldiers possess reflect our limited perspective.
What we need isn't that one-stop service, but rather, given that there are so few countries and so few arms dealers in the Warsaw Pact, why should Shilkashey stand out?
Because the old magnesium AGM-88 printer sold for millions of dollars worth of defective units, and the printing cost of the Monjo printer was also tens of thousands of dollars worth of defective units, he said that a lower price would be more appropriate.
After all, it's a slow-moving vehicle with four 23mm guns and a 4x mace; even a single 30mm BMP-2 wouldn't be that troublesome.
They called Hans, who was still waiting at the airport, and the two of them spent the night at Sassu's house before returning to Konluga on the seventh day.
All we knew was driving cars and operating cannons. The wealth we had accumulated was lost on the battlefield. We had to live anonymity and honestly be ordinary people, but for a time, we couldn't even find a job.
That won't solve the problem, but it's very insincere.
That's what you call professional. Everyone in Xia Yu felt like they were basking in a spring breeze. Unlike these arrogant white guys, who make money off us but think they're doing us charity.
The F-4K has four symmetrical Sparrow semi-recessed hardpoints under its fuselage. For Xia Yu, who only uses the AIM-120b medium-range missile, the AIM-7, an ancient missile with limited accuracy, is of no value in being printed.
Its pylons were naturally modified into conformal pods for mounting aerial cameras, so the entire process of combat, attack, probing, re-attack, and escape was recorded, making it as thrilling as an air combat movie.
While Hans watched the plane, Meng Qiao copied all the videos to his external hard drive and then took a car to Yu Peng's place.
Compared to the Marder S3 and A3, the upgraded manned turret of the S30 also caused the commander to lose the all-around periscope, resulting in a decrease in overall situational awareness.
The most correct approach is option B: You claim to have acquired a missile that is not very expensive, which perfectly solves the client's problem and precisely targets and destroys the opponent's air defense and ground attack weapons.
As a fighter-bomber with a production run of over 1,400 units, it is quite remarkable to see them on the arms market after surviving this turbulent era.
"Boom!"
With or without payloads, the F-4K made its first landing at Xiayu Airport after flying for about half an hour.
The negotiations went on until late at night, and before reaching a consensus on the contract, Monjo, still wearing his anti-G suit, signed his name.
After researching for a long time, I decided against using missiles, because the market price plus the main character's profit is simply unaffordable for customers, and I can't really "lose money" on the game. I'll enjoy it later when I find the top seller!
