Chapter 127 The Aftermath Hasn't Faded, A Powerful Blow Strikes Back (Please Subscribe!)
So who exactly is this company that owns the Harrier?
Could they be from England?
Later today, Lunlun, the intelligence center of Western Europe, also received this intelligence.
"Our plane shot down the French Mirage F1?"
Because it wasn't their primary focus, the British were a bit slower at gathering intelligence, but that didn't affect their pleasant day.
"To be more precise, it's the aircraft we sold that the military retired all Harriers years ago."
The speaker was reviewing client reports submitted over the years by a military-affiliated decommissioning company.
Apart from the contract to sell 72 aircraft to the United States, the rest are mostly small orders from individual and institutional clients.
Only a small portion of these can be traced; the vast majority are outside the scope of monitoring.
The reason for this is simple: their funding is limited, and they can only monitor Harriers operating domestically at most.
“We don’t have another Luhan, and we’ve managed to get an Aim-120, but we’re missing a Blue Fox.”
There's a solution! We must strike hard!
"Charlie, come and take a look at this deal. The timeframe is this month."
That was also the only company to withdraw funds during the period when Concentrated Firepower Defense and White Hats were at war.
Its size and tonnage are so great that it cannot be deployed slowly using a C130 transport aircraft. It is like a heavy weasel, and only an A400m can fit it.
As long as the project funds arrive, we'll crush the rebels, flour dealers, and terrorists for you.
The worst kind of sales pitch is a live-fire demonstration, where the low price seems acceptable given the extremely weak results of concentrated fire defense.
I'm not sure which Luhan model to choose yet, but before my F-4K arrives, I'll prepare a spare unit to replace it for a while.
The White Hat team will send an armored convoy to raid Bogo village. The convoy responsible for the feint attack will draw the concentrated fire of the defenses from the front, while the real killing blow will come from the sky and from our backs.
The Sparrowhawk B manned reconnaissance and strike aircraft transferred from the northern branch of Afica will launch two Spike long-range tactical air-to-ground missiles before the battle begins, destroying at most one of our tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.
For anti-tank missiles like the Kornet, the Monjo might be shipped in small quantities at the retail level, but it cannot be part of an upgrade.
We will decapitate the company's employees in the shortest possible time, and then use a few Spike-SR short-range anti-tank missiles to bombard the T-64B1M and completely destroy the company.
No, no, no, it was you who sold it. Xia Yu didn't go through any middlemen this time; he personally led the team to England.
The rebels don't seem capable of operating fighter jets. Air-to-air combat might have some market for now, but air-to-ground combat will definitely not attract much interest.
He discovered a transaction record for a Sea Harrier FRS.mK2 and called his colleague to show it to him.
It's highly likely. The items sold by the asset disposal company are in such poor condition that they're beyond saving.
Of course, taking out a target with a single shot is the worst possible outcome.
During the decision-making meeting at Luhan, the committee members discussed our related arms upgrade contracts in light of the sharp counterattack by the concentrated fire defense against the white hats.
The btR-82S was a prototype product made by Moncho when he went back to retrieve the Marder S30, using the Rh202 autocannon he had acquired and a btR-80 stock vehicle for trial modification.
"We exclude providing that service, but during the war with the White Hats, we were undertaking combat operations."
Based on intelligence gathered at different times, those cowardly guys had stacked their armor to the same thickness, and the rebels' top-attack mode with javelins was capable of taking down our T-64B1Ms. Therefore, they would prioritize retreating from our Marder infantry fighting vehicles that time.
That's the end of that intelligence report.
"What's with the ambiguity?" Charlie asked instinctively.
The options available to me are limited. After eliminating shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles that can be detected by the enemy first, I am left with only small, readily available anti-aircraft vehicles.
"Yes, we defeated the entire White Top Hat armored convoy with just one Marder S30, and even took out an armed helicopter that came to support us with our machine guns."
Yes, using precision-guided bombs against that kind of adversary would be a complete waste.
We need to hire people, we absolutely have to.
For fast and large targets, use the Super Rattlesnake; for slow and small targets, use the Amram. Eight rounds should be enough for headquarters air defense, and even if it is enough, it's a reminder to Monjo to run away.
The aircraft was still in poor condition, so instead of spending money on repairs, they came to India and bought the EL/m-2032 from Yisel for US$1.8 million per set.
That was enough to silence the machine gun and ensure the successful positioning of the air strike.
"General Sea Harrier, is Jihuo Defense not authorized to undertake air strike operations?"
No committee member spoke up to ask the question.
After all, the operating cost of the Luhan Aircraft is quite high, around ten thousand dollars, which is more expensive than the F-16.
"Only this later-stage Harrier has beyond-visual-range strike capability, and it can also match intelligence."
His big plan was exposed, and the myna bird immediately took it.
Charlie understood immediately.
Two Paveway laser-guided bombs would be enough to cripple our armored convoy, so we have to let the enemy take off first no matter what.
Following the removal of the Blue Fox radar and fire control computer from the Busa, an automatic rotating mechanism was installed in the front of the vehicle. Then, by utilizing the system's modification functions to integrate details and power supply, an independently developed (assembled) anti-aircraft vehicle was finally produced.
To further stimulate our consumption desires, they launched a group-buying event with a 5% discount, offering 10 purchases for only 4.5 million.
"Yes, our goal may not have been to dismantle the Busa aircraft, but it certainly wasn't the radar."
This is clearly a Black Harrier that was not part of the surveillance program, and it may have changed hands several times before ending up in the hands of this company.
Yes, wait a minute, I'm busy waging war against the white top hat!
The PowerPoint presentation was rough, but the photos attached below were very realistic. They weren't straight out of the camera from a phone with the Weasel S30's bomb disposal kit removed, and they weren't even as realistic as our T-64B1M with its eight-layered blades.
Meng Qiao really wanted to say, "I don't know many fancy tricks!"
It's too late to buy it now, but I can't make it myself yet.
In addition to combat employees, the recruitment of frontline support personnel also needs to be expanded.
Charlie deduced along that line.
Whether to go to the worst or not to use that thing at all, I personally love peace and am committed to bringing peace to war-torn regions, but unfortunately no one wants to ruin that hard-won peace.
The white-hatted staff moved even slower. We proactively lowered our interview requirements and reduced our salaries, recruiting cannon fodder as full-time employees.
It would take a year and a half to prepare, costing several million pounds, and it would be virtually impossible for it to take off.
"Isn't that the Weasel S30 infantry fighting vehicle the model used by Concentrated Fire Defense to destroy some of the White Hat companies?"
Of course, with the rapid expansion of concentrated fire defense, it will eventually fade from our view.
This guy knows what he's doing; he used medium-range missiles in this air battle, and those Harriers in front of us all got killed by those things.
If special bombs are simply dropped on these huts outside the rainforest, then a total price of $500,000 per sortie (including fuel) is not excessive.
"So, should we follow that line of investigation?"
The smaller the shipment volume, the more likely it is to circulate in the international arms market, which is what we both wanted.
Even if this is an air superiority BUSINESS 68, who can guarantee that the other side doesn't have ground-to-ground missiles?
Thus, Meng Qiao's seventh arms deal, worth tens of millions, was officially approved by Xia Yu.
Unfortunately, it requires the removal of the Blue Fox radar, radar warning receiver, and AIM-120 medium-range missile, and it also lacks some of the fire control software from the United States.
The American medium-range missile has been exported to dozens of countries around the world. Even Pakistan's F-16s are equipped with the AIM-120C-5, which is better than the AIM-120B used by Monjo.
That also led to the fact that in 2006, when all of Luhan's aircraft were put into service, India, which had lost half of its FRS.mK1 aircraft, still wanted to purchase eight seventh-hand FRS.mK2s.
He meant…
The Blue Fox may not be outdated now, but back then it was weaker than the AN/ApG-65 used by the AV-8b (the same model used by the F-18 in its early days, with a detection range of only 70km, which reached 120km several times before).
During the Eighth Route Army's retreat, our boss is looking to buy Mirage-2000 fighter jets.
Indeed, it's still necessary to develop more business collaborations. Pure military contracting is not yet suitable for the times. Part-time arms trading, military equipment and firepower upgrades, vehicle maintenance, and ammunition logistics supply are also not very profitable.
In modern air combat, a fighter jet without fire control radar is like a blind man.
Sea Harrier, representing the military, was also present at the meeting and was asked a question.
The Busa has a larger payload capacity, and combined with its all-terrain vertical takeoff and landing advantage, it is more suitable for retreating air-to-air self-defense operations.
Xia Yu, who was closest to us, had the deepest experience, usually when Lu Han reported that the concentrated fire defense had shot down seven White Hat fighter jets and wiped out our outpost base in Chung Fei.
That was what Moncho and Harrier said when they contacted each other before the air battle.
There's nothing wrong with that. We'll just allocate the money, and we'll allocate the additional 2 million for this contract as well.
As the committee members listened, they flipped through the PowerPoint presentation that Meng Qiao had spent an hour preparing.
With such a simultaneous attack from seven directions and complete disregard for secrecy, how could we possibly lose?
It would be really satisfying to throw it at the rebel stronghold, and the best part is, it's cheap.
Take a Renault military truck from the spoils of war, print out a double-row, seven-column rack, with four AIM-9L Super Sidewinder missiles below and four AIM-120B Amram missiles above. Install a rotating mechanism at the bottom to fix it to the truck bed.
Lacking confidence and aiming for the fewest wins, summarizing mistakes and correcting them can indeed improve the win rate.
In Afica, the fewer free gifts a product offers, the worse it is; Monjo really grasped the consumer psychology of those white people.
Providing air-to-ground bombing missions for clients, especially if the client doesn't have an airfield, choosing to operate a dedicated bomber is more economical.
“Charlie, he’s the one joking. Do you guys have any spare funds to do things for the French?”
Furthermore, given the complex structure and low technological content, the production time has been reduced to just a few minutes per piece, allowing for explosive production capacity in no time.
Meng Qiao had been pondering for a long time how to defend the company's base against air raids while I was present.
"Congressman Anka Chinaz then submitted a contract with Firepower Defense regarding a plan to upgrade the firepower of the Anka Mechanized Infantry Battalion, with a budget of around ten million US dollars."
The two wrote the "return information note" on the contract and went to work and home.
The tanks couldn't be handed over to the elite squad that was sneaking back from Bogo Village from the rear; the concentrated fire from the frontal defenses meant they were bound to spot us.
Anyway, it's just modifying 3 vehicles for one battalion, which we can afford. Besides, the price includes a basic load of ammunition, equipment modification and training, and a set of easily damaged spare parts.
"That price includes upgrading three Marder infantry fighting vehicles with 30mm autocannons, three BTR-80 wheeled personnel carriers with 20mm autocannons, and integrating four anti-tank missiles into the upgraded infantry fighting vehicles."
That classic seventh-generation fighter jet, with its 81-ton payload capacity, could not carry 18 mK82 high-drag bombs, each weighing 241 kilograms, in addition to its self-defense missiles.
Although a new operational plan is still being developed, Xiao Zhi's direction is still not lost.
From now on, we only need to focus on the last 10% of the firepower. The way the last 10% die is no different from the way the first 10% die. Our main responsibility is still to draw fire.
“You said it was that one. Look at that note: the other party paid extra to buy the radar as well.”
The spearhead was led by low-level employees we had drawn from various mines, whose skills were comparable to James's in the reconnaissance and operations team.
The company doesn't have dedicated bombers, so it can carry fewer bombs, fly slower, and fly farther, saving costs and earning less US dollars.
Those things are enough to bear witness to the glory of the blue female fox back then.
"He must be joking with you. Two weeks is the time limit? How could that be!"
What? Does this mean we're only good at ground armored warfare?
The modified version is very good. Jihuo Defense previously tried to phase out the 20mm version of the Marder and replace it with the wheeled chassis BTR-82S to meet the usage requirements of that class.
In-depth investigations require funding and manpower; otherwise, they will be wasted resources without a clear focus.
That was the seventh route, and the first to launch the attack, with the aim of luring the Busa into our surveillance range.
"But there is an additional contract that includes integrating one lightly armored T-64B1M and two BTR-80 tanks with upgraded main guns."
How did they suddenly become so skilled in air combat? Those Germans are no match for them!
As things unfolded as Meng Qiao had predicted, when it came to matters involving our own interests, we only scratched the surface of some intelligence.
While other businesses need to develop, the scope of our main operations cannot be reduced, especially for newly developed aircraft.
As a result, their combat capabilities were restored. It must have been Lu Han who made it possible, only the Emperor could not have done it.
The company still has too many people. That was clearly a planning task, but it made my boss, who earns tens of millions of dollars a year, have to do it himself.
The concentrated fire defense was caught off guard, so this brigade was wiped out before it could even unleash its full potential.
But we didn't realize that our opponent was actually a cheater who was extremely lacking in a sense of danger.
Doing business requires talent. Meng Qiao typed away at the keyboard, completely focused on creating a new PowerPoint presentation.
Given Xia Yu's deep hatred for the rebels, Meng Qiao estimated that he couldn't possibly sell fewer than 10 flights.
A little over 100 kilograms of iron, combined with 100 kilograms of explosives (80% TNT + 20% aluminum fuel mixture), would cost Luhan to print a single unit for just a few hundred dollars.
We will be doing the same thing for the seventh time.
