The renovation should be completed around next month, and various projects in Xiayu also need to be put on track.
As for the Seagull, which he took over from Paul a year ago, along with the Vulcan oceanographic research team, they are now on the Pacific Ocean, continuing their previous research projects, searching for Japanese and American ships sunk during World War II.
Of course, many also sank in the Southeast Pass area, but the problem is that the pirates who frequent this sea area are a real headache.
Paul funded several scientific expeditions in the region in previous years, hiring PMSC, a private maritime security company. Now, the company has been transferred to Mr. Xia, who directly rejected the expedition team's budget application for this part.
This is no joke. The boss's main business is PMC (Programmable Management Company). He doesn't hire outsiders for his own company's security work.
Xia Yu instructed them to remain floating near the Pacific Ocean, postponing the planned trip to Southeast Pass. They would wait until the Resilient-class aircraft, after its modification was completed, was officially delivered to the Asian branch and formed combat capability before coordinating its deployment.
After this deployment is completed, the Wurkan marine research team will officially move to Afica and focus their work on the Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines.
Many valuable ships sank in the European theater, but the Seagull's home port was Seattle, and its achievements were mainly in the Pacific theater.
Now that Xia Yu has taken over, the home port has become Kong Lujia, which is a good opportunity to change direction.
Incidentally, the boss can also take advantage of this escort mission to upgrade his Nautilus. Xia Yu has already disassembled all the parts that can be removed from that spare parts boat and then restored it to its original condition. He is just waiting for the Argusworkerrov unmanned submersible from the Haiyan to arrive so that he can carry out the modification and upgrade.
Can a submarine without a robotic arm be called an exploration submarine?
Definitely not. Xia Yu can withstand hundreds or thousands of atmospheres of pressure to collect it physically, but releasing tons of air around him would be too inconvenient. It would be better to use a robotic arm to pick it up and establish a bioelectric current channel to collect it.
He had experimented with this, manually collecting vehicles and raw materials because hands are the most convenient, any part of the body can be used, and non-insulating materials can be used to extend the collection.
The problem is that it's not needed on the Earth's surface; the demand only exists in special environments like space and the ocean floor.
Going to space may be a long way off, but making a living underwater is not that difficult. The platform boats he has modified are all ready, and now he is just waiting for the large-sized unmanned submersible.
But we'll have to wait until Xia Yu returns from the US, which is about six months away.
Before that, he had to go to Europe to import the goods.
After finishing their work-related conversation, Xia Yu hung up the phone, pondered for a moment, and then dialed a few more numbers to arrange the rest of the trip.
"...That's the situation. Liv and I have to leave now."
Xia Yu found Hans and told him about the situation.
"Understood. We've recovered most of the weapons and enriched uranium left behind by Marzug. Once you've left, we'll move on to Kufra and Ajdabiya to begin the next phase of our work."
Hans nodded and said.
The remaining work for the Libya deployment may not be enough in one quarter, and half a year is too much; four to five months would be more appropriate.
Xia Yu will lead the team to Asia, while Hans will receive the equipment and new recruits and return to Kongluga.
"Based on the intelligence we have, each of these two provinces may have an armory. They don't have sensitive equipment like the Scud missiles, so they shouldn't be too hard to find. Keep an eye out for them. I'll leave Afica to you for now."
Xia Yu continued to give instructions.
With the situation in Libya successfully opened up, he, as the boss, no longer needed to be on the front line all the time, and could also focus his energy on other businesses.
This second pregnancy resulted in twins, putting a lot of pressure on Mr. Xia to earn money.
"Splash splash"
Less than a week later, Chinook picked up the couple, and the Fischer was ready to depart from Jufra Air Base.
During the lull before the National Army launched its full-scale offensive and before Turkki re-established the National Unity Government, Old Yev went to Chungfi.
The two have not been able to meet since then, and it may be at least another year and a half before they see each other again. That's life for private military contractors. They are always on the go, traveling all over the world, going wherever there is conflict. Being apart more often than together is the norm.
"Buzz"
A black and gray painted Airbus A319 soared into the sky and flew towards the Mediterranean Sea, escorted by an F-16.
The Mediterranean Sea is 1,800 kilometers wide from north to south. The horseshoe bat only carried the red war falcon 900 kilometers before turning back. It wasn't that the red war falcon didn't have enough fuel, but that it couldn't fly any further.
Europe is not Afica; its airspace is strictly controlled. If you try to force your way in before it's open, you could be shot down by a few anti-aircraft missiles.
Xia Yu flew a few times in the early stages of his business, mostly at very low altitudes, but that consumed a lot of fuel. Without a subspace fuel tank, it was impossible to operate.
Now that his company has grown, he owns two private jets and has built a strong network of connections, so he no longer needs to rely on his previous lifestyle.
After flying over the Mediterranean Sea and entering Greek airspace, the Fischer landed directly in Athens from the communications tower.
Yes, Xia Yu's destination on this trip is Xila.
He first learned about this country when he was a child, watching cartoons like "Hercules" and "Olympus," where he first learned about the mythology of ancient Greece and then learned about it as a side effect.
Then, about ten years ago, I learned that this was a bankrupt EU country, and then I learned about their conflict with Turkey. It wasn't until today that I set foot in this ancient country for the first time.
"When I was in school, I said I would travel to Xila with my classmates, but now I'm a mother."
"Put on your sunglasses," Liv said, touching her lower abdomen.
"To be more precise, I'm a mother of three. Honey, what do you think of this country?"
Xia Yu asked his wife.
"It has a strong sense of history, and the number of refugees is really large."
Liv said, looking at the Argentinian and Filipino faces outside the car window.
Black people prefer to go straight to Germany, while those from the Middle East prefer Germany. Greece is just their first stop after entering Europe. Even so, the security of the starting village has been completely ruined by illegal immigrants.
"There's nothing we can do. Europe is too close and the United States is too far. Crossing the Mediterranean would take half your life, and crossing the Atlantic would be fatal."
Xia Yu understands this preference for nearby options, which is also what Lao Mei hopes to see.
"Then we can only hope they stay in big cities; Germany cannot lose its last piece of pure land."
Liv shook her head and sighed.
No matter which country you're in, the countryside is the last bastion of peace, and she couldn't imagine what it would be like if the countryside of Mecklenburg were also destroyed.
Fortunately, those who rely on welfare and want to work only have opportunities in big cities.
"Sir, and Madam, we have arrived at the hotel."
The car pulled into the hotel parking lot, and the two got out with their luggage.
Xia Yu didn't bring anyone from headquarters. The European branch was led by Erwin himself, with a total of 5 people working together to ensure the safety of the couple during their stay in Europe.
Yeah, two snipers will stay behind. "If we had a yacht, we could just stay at the port, but these things are too expensive, it's really unnecessary."
"Swipe your card to enter the presidential suite on the upper floor of the hotel," Xia Yu said to his wife.
He still prefers submarines to luxury yachts, even those with added exploration and scientific research elements, like the Octopus, rather than just getting the Seagull.
After Paul's death, Jody disposed of his brother's superyacht, which will be put up for sale after interior upgrades and renovations.
If Xia Yu is interested, he can definitely get it at a cheap price, but he's not the type to ride a yacht, so let's leave it to someone who's meant to have it!
"Yes, I don't like that either."
Liv agreed, explaining that she had a fear of the deep sea and that even if she wasn't pregnant, she wouldn't be going on the ship with Xia Yu for the second half of the year's plans.
"It's enough that you like flying. After the second and third babies are born, I'll take you to a nice place."
Xia Yu kept everyone in suspense.
The "good place" he referred to was the cave sub-base, which was originally planned to be open to the public internally, since he couldn't manage such a large base by himself.
But the real backup plan is a bunker buried deep underground and powered by a nuclear reactor.
Many of the equipment that cannot be seen in the open will be moved to the bunker, and the vacated cave base will eventually house a squadron of four Ultimate Phantoms.
With system optimization, the modernized version of this canceled project has a comprehensive combat capability that is superior to the Tomcat. It is also the mainstay aircraft of Jihuo Defense after the improved F-16, and it can be deployed both on land and on ships.
It just needs time; 30 years wouldn't be too late.
"Okay, just the two of us, no kids involved."
Liv is determined to be a good mother, but it's impossible for her to devote all her time to her child.
Everyone only lives once, and she wanted to spend more time with her husband!
"Of course, just the two of us."
After discussing the matter, the two put away their luggage and went downstairs to have dinner.
Xia Yu came to Xila to purchase goods. Tuerqi has F-16s, but neighboring Xila also has F-16s.
Many military enthusiasts are eager to see the outcome of a contest between the Turkish Fighting Falcon and the Xila Falcon, especially after Turkey rejected Turkey's application to purchase the F-35.
However, because of their repeated changes of heart, Old Magnesium kicked the local chicken out of the Fertilizer Project.
By hindering others from buying, they ended up being unable to buy one themselves, and could only continue researching their own fifth-generation fighter jet—the Khan.
It looks like an F-22, and its engine is also from an F-16. To be honest, there's a lot of exaggeration in how much of this is supposed to be self-developed!
Following the Falcon showdown, Xia Yu is also eagerly anticipating the outcome of the Khan vs. Fat Electric battle. With the Turkish crows so unruly, will the Americans pull a trick of using one enemy to devour another?
It's highly likely he would. At least he would do it. He wouldn't have to pay anything to annoy the Tuerqi people. Why wouldn't he?
"Besides F-16s, the people of Xila also have F-4Es. No matter how poor we are, we can't skimp on national defense. Their F-4Es can fire AIM-120 medium-range missiles. The airframe lifespan is a bit short, but the performance is definitely good enough."
While eating, Xia Yu also talked to his wife about the purpose of their trip.
His purpose in coming to Xila was to resolve the issue of procuring both types of fighter jets at once. Traveling to several countries separately would be too troublesome, and we don't have that kind of free time.
Most importantly, both of Xila's fighter jets are currently in service. Once they have acquired them and removed all the necessary equipment, they can be delivered directly to the customer.
"Honey, aren't all civilian-owned fighter jets in the US required to be deweaponized? Their fire control radars all have to be removed. Wasn't it a waste that you specifically bought those high-performance F-4s?"
Liv asked very clearly.
"It's not a waste. Just like you said a few years ago, the problem is what era we are in now. There are so many PMC companies in the United States that provide hypothetical enemy services, and their fighter jets are not deweaponized."
Xia Yu explained to his wife.
Germans are so rigid in their thinking; rules are fixed, but people are flexible.
With the emergence of companies like Tacair, old regulations can only restrict individual buyers, but not institutions and companies.
Buyers who want genuine products and don't want their bargaining power to be diminished can simply choose to have it held by a reseller. They can then get a job and earn a $1 salary, and that's it!
This wasn't Xia Yu's idea; it was Thompson's. No wonder he rose to the rank of Major General and then became CEO. Smart people have so many ideas!
"You can do that?"
Liv's eyes widened; she was completely stunned.
"It's reasonable and legal, what's wrong with it? Besides, these planes aren't expensive. Tell me, if the US has one, and Afica has one, can the wealthy afford it?"
Xia Yu continued to ask.
The US aircraft is only retained for strike capability; there are still many restrictions on firing live ammunition. However, a transatlantic flight to Afica will provide ample missiles and rockets, enough to keep you firing until you're sick of it.
"So we only need to stock these high-performance versions of classic aircraft, which saves us the money of upgrading avionics."
After listening to her husband's lecture, Liv finally understood that this was the world of capital, and that money really could do a lot of things.
Xia Yu went a step further than Thompson's plan, attempting to get the same customer to buy two identical fighter jets and earn double the profit.
This is something only a top salesperson can achieve, and to make a company big and strong, having a top salesperson as a boss is fundamental, and Xia perfectly fits that description.
"So, darling, how many are you going to buy this time?"
Liv asked the most important question.
"Since we've come all this way, let's buy double digits for both F-16s and F-4s. The 115 million from the Tuareg might not be enough. With the initial payments from the EU and the UN, plus the cash withdrawn from the museum, three to five hundred million euros shouldn't be a problem."
Xia Yu said confidently.
American equipment is more expensive than Soviet equipment, not to mention that these are all currently in service.
He bought dozens of second-hand phones and used them to buy a luxury yacht.
"Aren't you going to buy a Phantom 2000-5?"
Liv had studied the equipment of the Greek Air Force in advance.
In addition to American aircraft, they also bought French aircraft, and it was the Mirage 2000-5 that shot down the Turkish F-16D back then.
"No, we won't buy them. For now, our French aircraft business will only focus on target drones. The batch from Basil is enough."
Xia Yu denied it.
One issue is that trying to do too much at once leads to failure, and another is that the French aircraft business in the United States is handled by two other PMC companies. Even if Jihuo Defense manages to get a cheap Mirage 2000 through its connections in the United States, it still won't be able to sell it.
As for his home base, he also needs a hypothetical enemy. The ultimate modified version of the UAE Mirage 2000-9 is more suitable, so he won't get involved. He can focus on selling American and Soviet aircraft in the second-hand market.
