The dilapidated scenery flashed past the car window; the current Giban was only slightly better than the original Panaka.
As expected, war only brings damage and decline, making already impoverished countries even worse off.
As we entered a busy area, we slowed down, and some teenagers with handicrafts came up to the Tiger armored vehicle to sell.
They feared armed groups of the same skin color as themselves, but the yellow and white people with guns at least wouldn't rob them and were happy to patronize their small businesses.
"How much does this cost? Oh? Is it cheaper in US dollars?"
The kids didn't speak French very well because they spoke Sango more often, so Leonardo had to use a combination of questions and gestures.
The group spent tens of dollars to buy a large quantity of items, including several ivory pendants, which sold for ten dollars each.
That's how it is in poor countries. In Keni, hundreds of tons of ivory are burned, but in the Philippines, it's an important export product for earning foreign exchange.
Protecting the environment and animals is something we only think about when we're well-fed.
If you're starving, you can exchange anything for money; everything else is meaningless.
In that poor, war-torn area, yet located in the heart of Afica, much like a crossroads of four provinces in China, a geographically advantageous region.
Upon arriving at the conference room on the seventh floor, there were no government military generals, nor representatives from the Blue Helmet troops or the African Union peacekeeping mission.
That was a job that Jihuo Defense could take on during Operation Barkhane, but Lai Chungfei was hired by the Jiban Transitional Government.
That would also make the Blue Helmets and the African Union's relationship clear, and the focus of firepower on defense would be clean, otherwise it would cause scandals.
The effects of the naval training were immediately apparent. The Japanese had clearly weakened their underwater and surface combat capabilities by focusing their firepower on defense, and less than half of the new recruits were seasoned veterans in that field.
No wonder there's been a long-standing arms embargo. The situation is peaceful with AKs and RPGs; if we replaced them with weapons that were used earlier, the intensity of the conflict would only be lower.
The White Army helped the government forces defend the most important airport, while the White Muslims, who were leisurely enjoying the fruits of their defeat, remained restrained.
The meeting lasted for two more hours before officially starting near noon.
He indiscriminately fired his attack helicopter, and even if the Blue Helmet and the African Union were biased, they might pretend not to see it.
Compared to the impoverished Zhongfei, the Germans seem to place greater emphasis on the interests of the Sahel region.
Xia Yu made the arrangements, opened the car door and got in, with Shao Mi following closely behind.
We were waiting for the arrival of the two leading forces, and now Ji Shan, representing the concentrated fire defense, has arrived, leaving only the front-line Hair Country people.
The Snowy Owl manned aircraft that took off from Gabon was also an old friend of Xia Yu's; it had encountered the opponent several times in its counterattacks against the White Hat.
Although it was only a transitional government, it now possessed supreme power, and the number of police and military police had increased.
Before officially starting excavation, Xia Yu needs to take back the mine first. He can postpone it until he returns from Mali.
The other side only had one Hind attack helicopter. Those old planes were used by the Afghans back in the day, so they posed very little threat.
But for armed groups that can only drive slave laborers to regress to complex production, that mine is not a useless piece of steel; it is something that can be easily exploited.
"You're too late. The Democratic Front attacked your rear outpost, but we still have our strength intact."
It wasn't that we were being watched; we just needed to find a way out before we could break through their defenses.
Concentrated fire defense is a versatile tool that allows for both offensive and defensive maneuvers, and it is also an important part of market expansion.
Because of the ongoing war, the locals rarely had enough to eat, so it's understandable that some men would take advantage of their position to exchange resources with the soldiers of the neighboring country.
For Xia Yu, getting off the machinery would make things even worse.
The photos of Ji Shan's face are noticeably less clear than those of the next generation of Sparrowhawk A.
"One? That's acceptable."
Ji Shanjian breathed a sigh of relief after receiving a reply from the other side.
"What's that? We've purchased new gunboats?"
As for our army, we don't have Tiger helicopters with strong firepower, nor Mirage 2000s that can drop bombs!
"It was a heavy blow, a concentrated attack that ended the defenses of the Sassou rebels, but Zhongfei's armed groups do not have ground armored forces, and their infantry fighting vehicles and tanks are unlikely to be effective."
The first collaboration plus knowing each other inside and out = the foundation is solid, especially since it was such a makeshift team.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Shanjian became serious.
A hairy colonel named Henry took off my bucket hat, opened his briefcase, and distributed a few printed copies of the photographs to everyone under the conference table.
The commander of the blue helmets finally spoke.
As for developing the mining industry in [country name], there are too many people in the fire defense sector.
Sure enough, hiding outside the chicken coop was no use. Either the old doe was too conspicuous, or it just looked like something from the German country.
"You will immediately revert to an internal investigation and find that mole."
The parking lot behind the gate still doesn't have any white-painted blue-helmeted armored vehicles. There are so many people here for the meeting today!
Xia Yu thought that was definitely possible, and he was determined to expand his business throughout Afica and then to the whole world. Zhong Fei looked at it as a piece of wasteland, but it was also a springboard for him to extend his reach into the desert region.
Yes, since we're already using sieves, there's no need to arrest people; it would only alert them instead. Maintaining the status quo would be much worse.
As long as he makes the worst-case scenario plan, he will be swayed by his emotions.
If he insists on using manual teams, he will lose completely; such tough opponents must be dealt with mechanically.
Before obtaining authorization from the Security Council and persuading the African Union to intervene militarily, the Lucky rooster officially took the stage and launched Operation Red Butterfly, which in retrospect has been quite successful.
The fact that they don't even have these large armed fishing boats is a cause for concern.
"It seems your intelligence has been leaked. We don't have any spies in Jiban."
Frankly speaking, of all the military operations the French have launched, only Operation Serval has been somewhat successful. Operation Dune Crescent, before Operation Red Butterfly, was a complete mess.
After finding their seats, a German officer wearing the rank of colonel opened the small door to the conference room.
It was an AS-555 Fennec helicopter, and the passengers were from the United States.
The rapidly developing nuclear power industry has not met the demand for fuel, so there is no other option but to withdraw fuel imports from countries rich in mineral resources.
At the same time, having just received that intelligence from her inside contact, Sereka sounded very surprised.
The so-called minor skirmishes are just like that; the enemy of my enemy is always my friend, and the most thorough neutral party is also the one who avoids being attacked.
Xia Yu isn't a big fan of ivory, so all she can do is contribute financially and bring it on the plane as a pendant.
The transitional government is now hiring its own people to clear the area around the capital. It's possible that the French will send troops, but they can't really help much.
Besides the regular companies that have already withdrawn, the PMC companies that entered the market later haven't all withdrawn yet, leaving a huge vacancy in the market.
"Why didn't you say so earlier? There weren't many aircraft?"
More importantly, those armed groups were mixed in with civilian villages.
As for the missing fuel, Xia Yu personally has no need for it. He already had enough fuel for the reactor he acquired for the bunker.
When combined with air and land attacks, it's an absolute crushing victory!
Firefighting efforts should proceed cautiously, as it takes time for equipment to arrive and for personnel to be recruited and trained.
Xia Yu had also inquired and heard that there hadn't been any major moves yet.
"What? We don't have armed helicopters?"
"Yes, it is necessary. As long as those two armed groups are eliminated, the covert operations will automatically become ineffective."
Henry praised the school before offering advice from the perspective of a junior colleague.
Two years later, they acquired a uranium mine in Namibia with reserves that were among the lowest in the world.
As a young man roaming the world, Serek would naturally be unprepared for attack helicopters.
The vice minister treated everyone to a buffet lunch before they all went home to attend to their own affairs.
Jihuo Defense helped eliminate two burgeoning armed groups in Jiban, which were threatening the capital and disrupting commercial transportation, in exchange for a million dollars in cash and a uranium mine in the hands of the post-Siyat armed group.
Xia Yu asked the transitional government what kind of mine it wanted.
According to our original intelligence, the Phor tribe's national salvation armed forces did possess that ship.
Xia Yu spoke calmly before looking at the photos.
So I was just doing a small favor for Jiawai, and Jiawai was actually helping me with the acquisition.
Or rather than mineral resources, it's more like a company outpost in Chung Fei with mineral resources.
Perhaps out of fear that armed groups scattered across the country might come to Beijing and cause trouble, every vehicle that continued to drive out of the city had its identity checked.
It can only be said that our minds were on that; the order from the country was to withdraw as soon as possible. That's why these two armed groups have been so arrogant in the distance from Jiban for so long.
As we were leaving the building, we heard the sound of helicopter rotors nearby.
Our revenue-generating method is still to levy taxes on the local people, but we have relinquished Ji Shan's mine by dividing up the land.
Two attack helicopters arrived at the concentrated fire defense, but the Talonfat Army also uses them, so the mole only confirmed the Mi-24V target.
When it was Ji Shan's turn, she handed over the broken pass and was quickly allowed to pass through to a French-style building.
If you switch to Zhong Fei, the gameplay will be the same.
For whatever reason, we're preparing to launch Zhong Fei's righteous operation.
We can't let the company develop some illegitimate businesses that are out in the open, while incidentally satisfying Ji Shan's collecting obsession.
The country never stationed troops in Zhongfei. That was because, several years later, Ji Shanjian's armed forces broke through Jiban in one fell swoop, but they did not take it completely.
The armed group further away from Jiban will be personally targeted by Xia Yu, who will pilot a Mi-24V. The Soc-R, which lacks small-caliber firepower, was originally planned to be positioned in that direction.
"I understand. You'll keep his payment in the usual place. Enjoy the cooperation!"
But who told the Germans to keep messing with us? I only got the chance to use it today.
That wasn't Zhong Fei's daily routine. After the encirclement and suppression, she was attacked. It was like a turn-based fighting game. He hit you, and you slap him back, and that's how they ended up in a stalemate.
The immediate priority is to eliminate these two underwater armed groups and then secure ultimate ownership of the uranium mine.
It's a gold mine, it's a diamond mine, but what I'm interested in is a uranium mine.
Whether it's voluntary or involuntary, it's a scandal internationally, and one of the reasons why the "Red Butterfly" operation is being considered domestically in China.
Xia Yu's tone could be described as confident, which was extremely arrogant, but Ji Huo Defense, with its outstanding achievements, didn't have that kind of confidence.
Ji Shan, as the boss, expressed the company's stance.
And so, before I even made contact with Zhongfei's people, the plan to kill one bird with one stone was born.
Jihuo Defense may not have armed helicopters, but our most famous force is our armored forces!
At that stage, instead of messing around on your own, it was better to rely on weak military force to periodically harvest resources, letting these armed groups in the disputed border areas help dig out the mines.
However, the blue helmet troops and the African Union's peacekeeping mission, while trying to stop the conflict between the two sides, also got beaten up along with the white army.
Xia Yu waited for the helicopter to land, and then walked out of the Ministry of National Defense building with Shao Mi.
Despite being a country with relatively weak uranium reserves, China's uranium mines are easy to mine and refine due to their high grade, deep burial, and unconventional nature.
The commander of the African Union's peacekeeping mission sounded surprised.
Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him, Deputy Minister of National Defense Jiban immediately spoke.
In reality, it was the participants in Operation Red Butterfly who were responsible for creating the scandal.
“That’s not Zhongfei’s Ministry of Defense. Honey Badger, go down with you. They’ll be guarding up there.”
Well, it looks cheap, but Zhong Fei looks even poorer than Guo!
I carried the satellite phone inside.
The Hair Army was a post-Siyat group, and before the anti-Siyat forces joined in the attack, it was unusual for them to be beaten by the Mongol army.
Now, Firepower Defense has replaced part of the White Hat's ecological niche, and has received its assistance.
I had planned to upgrade that old guy's observation and aiming equipment, but after learning that the Chinese were involved but would help, I realized that the last time we went out, we brought both manned aircraft and launch control vehicles without bringing them, which saved a lot of trouble.
After passing this section and driving towards the government area, the street vendors disappeared instantly.
Could Kehuo Defense, like these PMC companies, also abandon Chung Fei?
The colonel complained.
As far as Xia Yu knows, we are now drawing forces from Operation Red Butterfly and gradually deploying them to the desert region.
"You are willing to question the concentrated fire defense, and will monitor and evaluate it, giving the most objective assessment."
"That's a photo taken by your snowy owl's drone while it was scouting far away from the gibbons."
Is the initial slow, accurate, and ruthless attack on concentrated fire defense a sign of an impending rebellion? Aside from initial accumulation of resources, the goal wasn't to secure a stable small front.
This river gunboat with a T-55 turret on its bow looks intimidating at first glance, but who can it actually shoot at?
"The Firepower Defense Group is committed to maintaining regional peace, but it will not act rashly without absolute certainty."
If we pass Xia Yu, our firepower is weaker, and we can definitely defeat them by overwhelming them.
On the way back, Xia Yu took out the aerial photos he had brought back and looked at them repeatedly. The specific battle plan gradually took shape in his mind.
Unlike gold and diamond mines, uranium mines, even open-pit mines, are mostly sandstone-type uranium deposits.
The price paid by the transitional government of Jibang for hiring Jihuo Defense was not a large amount of cash, but also the mineral resources still in the hands of armed groups.
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~~"
These are all small transactions involving hundreds of thousands of tons. The total uranium reserves in Chung Fei are only around 80,000 tons. Even though the mine I got was shallowly buried, low-grade, and very ordinary, it was only a few thousand tons.
