Seven or eight Mi-24Vs were lined up on the outermost side. Compared to their near-scrap condition when Xia Yu first acquired them, they can now be started with fuel and fired with rocket pods. They can definitely fight for another ten years or so without any problem.
These old female deer are all going to be sold to the Sahel region. Xia Yu also plans to import another batch of Mi-24Ps, a model with twin 30mm GSH-30K cannons mounted on the right side of the fuselage. The production volume was also very high back then.
The standard Mi-24V's Yak-B quad-barrel Gatling gun cannot achieve the same precision as the Luhu modified version from Jihuo Defense. It would be better to have a larger caliber model with both high and low-end options, so that even if only two or three of the dozens of rounds fired hit, they can cause effective damage.
The Mi-24P becomes a good choice, not to mention that shipping the two models separately can effectively spread the risk of equipment traceability.
He put Mimi down, and the girl leaped up like a leopard and jumped onto the first car of a whole row of BTR-82S cars next to her.
Xia Yu also acquired quite a few BTR-80 heavy-duty amphibious assault ships, most of which were converted into BTR-82S. This is because in Afica, only countries with small populations and high GDPs, or large populations and low GDPs, can afford to buy and maintain weasels.
Countries with small populations and low GDP have very low consumption power. But these days, doing business is all about capturing the lower-tier market. Even a small profit is still a profit. It's not advisable to blindly cater to high-net-worth clients.
Both cats and dogs made this mistake; their "arrogance" created a terrifying opponent.
Xia Yu's approach is to address both aspects thoroughly and effectively.
Rich guy, whatever features you want, I'll add them for you. Poor guy, we won't mind either. How about a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle with the same firepower as the weasel? Order now and we'll also give you a 14.5mm KPVT heavy machine gun. Video instructions for modifying an armed pickup truck.
Xia Yu hopped on the balance bike and quickly passed through the cave.
Mimi on the roof of the car arrived first, and the two of them quickly reached the tunnel entrance.
They switched to a custom-built electric-drive diesel locomotive with a payload of over 100 tons, capable of transporting heavy fighter jets, and soon arrived at the end of the tunnel.
The Bella, which had been dormant for months, was parked here, waiting for Xia Yu to complete the final section and finish the construction of the cave sub-base.
Let's begin. Enter the main control room, wake up the tunnel boring machine, load the pre-set program, and the cutterhead starts rotating and cutting again, emitting a piercing roar.
This time, however, the Bella no longer dug straight ahead. After adjusting the forward speed, cutterhead torque, and propulsion pressure, the tunneling end began to tilt and extend to the left front.
This is part of the widening work on the catapult/interception section, widening the cross-section of the cylindrical tunnel into a rounded rectangle to make more space for the equipment.
He continued to insert the driver assistance module, monitoring various data, while he rode the motorcycle back to the cave.
Although it was the final stage, digging over 80 meters twice would take 14 days, so Xia Yu had to come over every day in the early stages, and in the later stages, he had to stay here all day.
He had to do the installation of the equipment and the hydraulically controlled camouflage door himself.
Only a system can make it possible; otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for one person to complete such a large project.
For example, a certain nominally neutral country has been digging bunkers since the beginning of World War II, and has formulated the "National Fortress Plan" with the Alps as its base.
This plan reached its peak when the Iron Curtain fell and the Cold War began.
Over several decades, they dug 370,000 bunkers and 5,100 large public shelters, enough to house the nation's less than 10 million people.
Xia Yu strongly suspected that they had misappropriated the gold from sodium brittle and the money from those dead accounts to build the bunker.
It's possible, but with all that real money invested, the bunkers they built are pretty good, and some of their excellent functional area designs are worth learning from.
Xia Yu returned to Bogo Village before dark and began a regular life for the next few days.
He would go to the cave sub-base every day and then contact Leonardo and Christian at the uranium mine site to remotely monitor the construction progress.
The mining area was enclosed by canvas ton bags, wire frames, and "fences" filled with sand and gravel, and workers began to speed up the construction of an earthen field flight runway on the outside.
The project is 800 meters long; the extra length is for safety precautions.
"Boss, the problem now is the lack of water. This is probably the most water-scarce place in Zhongfei. You just had the foxes airdrop a batch of drinking water, but for domestic water, we can only get water purification tablets from a small river a few kilometers away."
"We should have brought the drilling equipment with us."
Even though you can't see people on a satellite phone, Xia Yu can imagine Leonardo DiCaprio with his stubble.
How many more days until the airport runway is completed?
He asked the other party about the runway progress.
With only three double-trailer heavy trucks, the carrying capacity is definitely limited. Priority should be given to weapons and equipment, engineering equipment, two oil tankers, and personnel supplies. There is definitely no room left for drilling rigs.
But once the runway is built, all the equipment can be airlifted there in one sortie.
"Three more days, it will be finished in three days."
“Okay, I’ll bring Kuhn and the others over in three days. There’s also an airdrop tomorrow, so I’ll have Foxbat bring an extra ton of bottled water.”
The cost of a bottle of mineral water for the US Army in Afghanistan is $13.37. With the delivery of this water over a one-way distance of 2,000 kilometers, the cost could be reduced to about $1 per bottle, depending on the price fluctuations of jet fuel.
Therefore, clean water is a scarce resource in Afica, and the only solution is to drill wells and use groundwater.
As for whether the groundwater in uranium mining areas is radioactive, we can only say that mining will definitely cause pollution, so it's best not to drink it directly.
The most exploitative people are the Germans. In Niger's uranium mines, they have almost no protection, and the most polluting ore beneficiation and washing processes are all carried out locally.
They probably figured that since the locals would only live to be 40 or 50 years old anyway, inhaling some radioactive dust wouldn't be a big deal!
It was precisely because of this arrogance that Xia Yu concluded that they would not be able to stay in the Sahel region for more than a few years before being driven out by these black countries.
You can't make money through dishonest means. You either have to spend money to clean up the mess, or you have to deal with sparsely populated areas like Kazakhstan and Aodaiya where pollution happens in uninhabited areas.
The uranium mine in Xiayu has a population of less than two thousand. Once the mine is finished, it won't be difficult to relocate them all.
Before that, they will also be the best source of workers for the mine.
After all, it was just a small mine, and it was inland in Afica, so it couldn't use in-situ leaching uranium extraction (injecting in-situ leaching solution through injection holes to allow the leaching solution to fully react with the uranium, and then extracting it to the surface through extraction holes).
The good news is that the ore grade is relatively high and it is not buried too deep underground, so a semi-underground mining method (open-pit + tunnel) is sufficient.
This requires a certain number of miners to implement comprehensive protective measures. Mining is definitely better than joining various armed groups and carrying guns and eating food.
"clear!"
After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu called his parents again and learned that they were having a great time on the Guohe River!
Retirement and having a wealthy son is great; he can travel and enjoy life to the fullest. But once he returned to Afica, this self-made millionaire couldn't find a moment of rest.
We boarded a helicopter and flew directly to the Anka Mechanized Infantry Camp.
After contacting their battalion headquarters in advance and learning that Hans and his men were not there, we turned our plane around and headed to the field training area.
The Leclerc UAE, Marder S30, Marder S3, and T-64B1M were lined up in a row, launching an armored assault in a way that made them easy targets in the air.
If it were a clash between the regular armies of a powerful land power, charging in like that would indeed be like throwing one's life away. But Jihuo Defense is just a PMC company, and their targets have always been rebels, armed groups, and extremist organizations.
These people might be able to get their hands on a fully equipped attack helicopter at best, and they're thinking of using it for concentrated fire defense, but don't forget they also have attack helicopters.
The little antelope can be equipped with the Mistral. The land-based version of Xia Yu can be sold to recover health, but the air force version of the Mistral captured from the white top hat is still in hand.
Moreover, in Xia Yu's eyes, the target attack helicopter was not as dangerous as a consumer-grade drone.
He was an expert at this game himself, so he could see the possibility of being hit by a boomerang, which is why he spent a lot of money to synthesize the Red Cheetah.
In a complete armored assault formation, its position would be between two Marders. The active protection systems of the two infantry fighting vehicles would protect the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun from being destroyed by a single RPG.
Of course, there are also anti-tank missiles.
It is a bit crispy, but its output is really impressive; the owners of Noodle Shop in Northwest China are the most qualified to comment on this.
After landing at the training ground, Xia Yu stepped off the helicopter and walked towards them.
"That's the situation. I'll convert all the money into US dollars for you, and I'll also convert the cryptocurrency to the price on the day of the operation."
After about half a month, Xia Yu finally discussed the distribution of the spoils from Operation Mianbei.
In order to save his life, the conman boss surnamed Sun honestly confessed the password to the hard drive wallet. He also obtained several key strings, each corresponding to a different account.
Xia Yu transferred the money directly to his own account. Due to the nature of his industry, he sometimes uses cryptocurrency, so it's not an investment, but rather a way to pay for goods.
The quantity is around 8,000. The price has gone up a bit and is now $1,200 each. On the night Hans and his team took action, it was $1,050.
Because this thing is unstable, it's fairest to use the price of the day.
As for the RMB, it will be transferred directly to Xia Yu's account in China through Huaxia Bank.
He used to buy many things from China, and he used to pay in US dollars. Now that he has such a large sum of cash, he can use RMB until he runs out of it.
So how many are there in total?
Hans was curious about the total amount.
"After conversion, the total is $11.95 million. After deducting the recovered fraudulent funds from the victims and the company's costs, you can each receive $4.5 million."
Xia Yu opened the spreadsheet on her phone and zoomed in to show it to Hans.
There are 13 combat and technical employees going to North this time, so each person gets 340,000.
"Boss, we can't accept this money."
Sergei said, representing the six people in group number 1.
They were already quite content to have recovered the money they were scammed out of, gotten their revenge, and regained their dignity. Dividing the money further would be counterproductive.
“I respect your opinion, but it’s not good to just keep distributing the money like this. How about we pool it into a fund and invest it externally, and then distribute the profits to everyone?”
Xia Yu thought for a moment and then said.
This is what he's going to talk about next.
The company's profit-sharing system ensures that every full-time employee has some spare cash, but putting it all in fixed deposits is too rigid, and the profits can't even keep up with inflation.
They're thinking about investing, but they don't know much about it and are easily scammed.
It would be better to set up a private equity fund under the company's name, guaranteeing an annual return of 15% to 25%, anything more would be too risky.
"Boss, can we put our money in?"
Sergei was tempted. They weren't greedy to begin with; they just wanted their money to stay in value. Little did they know that the other party was after their principal.
"Of course! I'll probably invest around 10 million myself!"
Xia Yu had spent all his money on his last trip to Central Asia, but with the profits from the tank museum, he had recovered and made a large sum of money again.
If you don't have anywhere to spend your money right now, investing some in funds won't hurt.
As for stock trading, he really doesn't have the energy for it. At most, he holds a few stocks that he thinks have potential for the long term.
The rest are exchanged for gold bricks, and once you've saved enough, you can melt them down into a gold coffin, the kind that requires nine dragons to pull it.
"That's great! Boss, don't rush to transfer the money we were scammed out of. Let me talk to them and see if we can invest a little more."
Sergei said excitedly.
Aside from Nikola and 04, the other members of Group 1 didn't vote much, but that doesn't mean they didn't have money.
Now, when it comes to entrusting the investment to the boss, they feel most at ease and even want to invest more.
Most people in the company shared his thoughts, but only the newcomer, who hadn't received his salary yet, was truly shocked.
They buy funds in increments of 400,000 or 500,000, and the units are all in US dollars.
It's nothing unusual. It's only because the company is small and the boss is generous that they can have such a high income level. This time, with the addition of more than a dozen people, the denominator has increased by 40%, and Hans and others will no longer be able to receive such high bonuses.
Even so, it is still in the top tier in the industry.
"Commander, if we work here for a year, we should be able to buy an apartment in the provincial capital!"
The little bear spoke to Huang Jingxiu.
"I feel like you're being a bit conservative. Owning an apartment in Shanghai isn't impossible."
Yes, Tomson Riviera is the standard for super-rich novels; for ordinary people, a house worth three to five million in the outer ring is already quite good.
"Then we'd better give it our all, or we'll be letting down the money we're paid for it."
Old Liu from next door came over and said.
"That's right, we have to live up to this treatment."
More than a dozen people were thinking this to themselves.
Meanwhile, Xia Yu found Kuhn and told him about the well-drilling project at the mine.
"As long as the equipment is in place, whether it's 100 meters or 200 meters, we can pump water for you."
In the past year or so, Kuhn and his team have drilled about seventy or eighty wells, which is impressive given the current technology.
"How's the training going? Have they adapted?"
Xia Yu continued to inquire.
Drilling wells is secondary; the company's combat effectiveness is the top priority.
"They've adapted quite well, especially the Panda crew."
Kuhn commented.
