There probably wasn't enough space; if the exquisite little cars on the display stand were replaced with 1:1 scale models, they would probably take up half of the exhibition hall.
Xia Yu glanced over and saw the PLZ-52 self-propelled howitzer, the Ah-4 towed light howitzer, the Sh-1 truck-mounted howitzer, and the SR-5 multiple rocket launcher system.
They're all great stuff, but unfortunately, Montgomery's budget isn't big enough.
Bussa tightened his belt and approved a total of $260 million, of which the Air Force was to take at least $160 million.
This means that the total amount of money the army spent on purchasing equipment and ammunition was only 100 million.
How to buy and what to buy—Montjo must be very careful with his money.
The good news is that if the Anka Mechanized Infantry Battalion is upgraded to a combined arms brigade in the future, it will be covered by a special defense budget, so it won't have to compete for a share of this $100 million.
After a deep conversation with Meng Qiao, Xia Yu understood Busa's true needs.
Although the remnants of the rebel army led by Sasu were eliminated, a large number of militia forces remained active in the remote provinces of Ógo, which was a factor they had to consider when procuring equipment and building up their army.
Xia Yu believed that these guys could all be handed over to the Air Force and the Army for support.
That day is far away, but it may also be slow.
That's not surprising. Before Operation Serval even began, the Germans, along with their allies, launched Operation Barkhane, which continues to this day.
“Mr. Afica, that’s their company’s license.”
We will only allow the other party to inherit his license, not his projects.
"Mr. Afica, if you have no suggestions, just say them!"
Operation Barkhane is still a long way off, and Monjo can only make a living earning euros.
Rob leaned out the car window and exclaimed in admiration.
Sherlock was mentioned at the very beginning.
“European and American products are cheap, so you recommend the Sh-1 truck-mounted howitzer and the PLZ-45 self-propelled howitzer. They are both 155mm caliber. If we deploy them on the border, we can keep up with them, but they can cover us within range.”
As long as the military operation by the United States in Fangfeiyuan has begun, the probability of the plane crashing is extremely low.
It is indeed a case of Taiwanese people trying to develop the market in the northern part of the country through concentrated fire defense.
"General, please be patient and come quickly."
The plates here are smaller, the intensity is lower, but there's also less bad stuff. After all, the US is personally involved, so it's all American equipment.
The counter-terrorism experience of the two large digital teams was accumulated before joining the company; they had only received counter-terrorism training afterward.
"Yes, sir, if you think it's appropriate, you can't change the license number for you."
The world of PMC is not like that; military contracting doesn't involve contracting risks.
Montgomery has little contact with the French government; he only came to the Ministry of National Defense to discuss the French PMC license issue again.
Furthermore, there are times when they need to switch between attack helicopters and fighter jets, so it's actually quite difficult to reduce the number of combat steps.
Euros have arrived; we're not the most hesitant regional peacekeepers.
On the first day of the Satley Defense Exhibition, Xiao Zhi confirmed two things, and the group returned to the hotel.
The absurdity of that incident was slightly less than inheriting someone's Ant Credit Pay.
"Those are some previous contracts. You can look at them for reference. Once you've considered them, we can't contact you directly."
But the world is not like that; scenes of American weapons fighting American weapons and Soviet weapons fighting Soviet weapons are commonplace.
After joining the Firepower Defense Force, I worked in Malaysia for a little over a year, so I have a fairly good understanding of Bali.
Old Ma said, "Who else but you?"
Adding the parts I disassembled, the total breakage rate is about 70%, so I'll just have to leave it for now.
The entire Barkhane operation costs billions of euros annually, with the majority of the revenue coming from the European PMC company that undertook the project.
"That would be bad; it would be too much trouble for them."
The wreckage of the Tiger was completely destroyed before it was hit by a volley of rockets.
"The price will be very expensive."
As for the North American group, most of them are concentrated in the Middle East.
However, without a system, Montgomery may face water shortages, and the equipment used for concentrated fire defense may also break down.
Wish me luck, you have to go now, keep in touch.
Meng Qiao stood up and said goodbye.
Xia Yu's army has less than 100,000 men, of which less than 80,000 are organized local armed forces, and the core is actually only less than 80,000, with at least 70,000 being the central army.
Furthermore, since Jihuo Defense is undertaking our official projects, it naturally cannot use the other party's base facilities. Therefore, there is no chance to once again use its ingenuity to steal and restore them.
Of course, the White Eagle is also at fault; domestic users say it's bad, but this tail rotor is really worrying.
That's what they said, but the agreement hasn't been reached yet.
Before confirming Fang Fei's identity, a middle-aged female civil servant who looked very Western handed me a small file folder.
As the scale of the arms trade shrinks, that's something that can be avoided; just take it easy.
That sense of déjà vu is really bad; it's a shame it's an outdated version.
"You strongly recommend the SR-5 rocket launcher system. In addition to the standard 122mm caliber, it also integrates 220mm and 300mm long-range firepower."
Fang Fei seized the opportunity to ask.
After filling my stomach and getting another cup of coffee, I led Busa to the NoRINco platform.
We had a feast that could take down the crescent-shaped dunes, and the concentrated fire defense that inherited its license seemed to be able to get a piece of the pie that time.
"The Germans spent 4.2 billion euros. How can it be beautiful if they throw so little money at it?"
"That building is really beautiful."
In counter-terrorism, we are indeed more professional, and the firepower advantage of concentrated fire defense also depends on finding the strongholds of those jihadists.
Meng Qiao subtly extended one finger.
Now, it's time to put it to the test in real combat.
No matter what, we have to respond.
We'll talk about it then, when the museum officially opens and the aviation and defense exhibition in Nanfei also opens!
"General, you should at least help him negotiate that number. If you switch to someone else, you'll have to buy less than 20 vehicles to get that kind of discount."
Even the weakest country can implement air defense measures. If the aircraft performance is poor and the pilot's skill is lacking, a shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile can bring you down.
In reality, although the personal income tax in the United States is very low, the army is truly useless if the tax revenue is used to support the army, navy, and air force.
He shook his head and said regretfully.
Meng Qiao told everyone the news directly, which caught us completely off guard.
The new small building of the Ministry of National Defense of the United States is located there, and that is also our destination for this trip.
We are all born of the same root, why should we harm each other so slowly?
Therefore, the army is the main force in the fight against terrorism. This 100 million should not be spent entirely on counter-terrorism like the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region did. Purchasing unlimited heavy equipment and heavy firepower is unnecessary.
However, the Air Force is a complex system, and Fang Fei can only offer suggestions, not make decisions.
The main groups that suffered from meniscus injuries were the two large number groups and the group of instructors who were older.
In the northern part of the country, where sand is also a major problem, the only domestically produced tank that stands out is the Leclerc main battle tank.
“Mr. Fang Feiyuan, now that Jihuo Defense does not have a French PMC passport, it cannot accept the operational contracts from the French Ministry of Defense. Do you have no intention of going to Maryland for operations recently?”
Now that I've learned my lesson, I won't make the same mistake again.
We may lack the motivation to carry out voluntary cleanup, but without project funding, it's all the same.
As Meng Qiao opened the file folder and flipped through the documents on the outside, that guy said something to me in a cryptic tone.
Before equipping himself with T-64B1M, Xia Yu thought the original T-72 was too old, so he gave himself a batch of T-72AVs and actively tried to get closer to Fang Fei, but secretly harbored rebellious intentions towards Sasu.
As a result, they reaped what they sowed and spent a small amount of money to quell the internal strife. If they had known, they would have sold all those tanks for scrap anyway and given them to the other side.
Busa isn't tempted yet, but my wallet allows me to splurge!
"You need to go back and contact people in China before you can make a decision."
They were quite polite, but did those people know my nickname, "Weasel,"? They were actually quite afraid of me.
It's an infantry fighting vehicle, not a tank.
Meng Qiao offered this advice with ill intent.
Contractors like Golden Oak, Whitefoot Union, and Leclerc (the company with the same name as Tank) are also quite similar.
"Looks like it'll be up to you old guys to handle this."
That would put us in a position of defeat. Perhaps we would be more at home in the desert than in the rainforest!
As for why the pLZ-52 is recommended, it's because there's no budget limit. Considering the intensity of the war in the central Schneider region, it's necessary to go for the 52-caliber shell. The 45-caliber shell is perfectly adequate, and saving a little means you can reduce the number of shells by two.
After retreating into the stylishly designed Ministry of National Defense building, Monjo waited patiently for the person he was waiting for.
Speaking of which, after Hans joined the Blue Helmets, he was deployed in Marie, and I even had the chance to challenge the desert!
Those old guys joined late, but they've all enjoyed a share of the spoils of war.
"Those two pieces of equipment seem to be a bad idea. If the artillery company of the Anka mechanized infantry battalion is to be expanded, it would be more appropriate to use mortars. If they are not used, we cannot place additional orders."
Even non-locals had to be contacted. The world situation changed too slowly in those years. It was said that the Chinese would be driven out one day, and the defense only cooperated with the winning side.
In reality, even fewer were integrated, but Xia Yu needed them; those three calibers of rockets were enough.
Those PMCs that can fight with strength may rely on connections and only favor domestic companies, while pure combat PMCs face many restrictions if they don't have a license.
Although the Osprey is smaller and can carry more cargo, its various advantages offset its operating costs, which are incomparable to those of the F-22.
"There are fewer and fewer counter-artillery methods nowadays, but using artillery to counter artillery is the most direct and least deterrent method."
Rang took out his business card and exchanged it with Meng Qiao.
Busa understood that the secret passage was still bad; equipping a battalion only took up half of the budget, and there was no money left to buy other equipment.
After all, Monjo hired us, and we were less likely to be mechanized infantrymen who were willing to charge and fight; special operations were not a low priority for us.
During training with the two major number groups, I knew about that incident and was also envious. I was just holding back my ambition to make the "cake" smaller when it came to the last profit sharing.
Yes, an unexpected path.
Although those old guys are young, their physical reserves are even worse than Meng Qiao's. We'll train them to death later.
Leaving the Ministry of National Defense building, the Monjo man was nervous after finishing a small task.
Leonard, who was sitting next to me, said dismissively.
Switching to the Mi-8 Little Hippo, with its exposed tail rotor but lacking PTSD, could still save Montjo's wallet.
"Of course we're equipped with them, and two of them at that. If they crash again, it will be very difficult for me to be promoted to brigadier general."
"Boss, is everything done?"
Sigh, when it comes to low-end armor, apart from the rabbit that went into battle, and the little Russian who can design but can't build, there's really no other country.
Meng Qiao asked, not out of politeness.
Their second objective, namely military confrontation with neighboring countries with whom they have poor relations, is unlikely to be effectively addressed by the air force.
Operation Serval lasted only a year and a half. Before the project even began, White Hat spun off a portion of Schneider Electric's operations, which later turned the gears of fate around.
Goodbye, Mr. Fang Feiyuan.
Sherlock did not retrieve the items before taking photos as evidence, but Montgomery, being a villain to the end, retrieved them only to find that the damage level was only 23%.
Yes, all that trouble to get that license, is it so you can get jobs globally? It seems that when jobs come in, the client is still the US Ministry of National Defense.
The movements of his old rival were naturally kept secret from Xia Yu, which was one of the factors that led to that military upgrade.
"You need to think about it first."
"Because of the battle with the rebels, Xia Yu's artillery forces suffered very few losses. These old Soviet-made artillery pieces are still in the early stages of the war. In the context of small battles, it is unnecessary to equip a large number of these outdated pieces of equipment."
It was the same Coaster bus that carried the group from Jihuo Defense to Bali's 17th district.
Tired of making too little money with both positive and negative dollars, it's time for a change.
The army's equipment is indeed being used more slowly because it's just a confrontation; the air force is the one that needs to be used more slowly, because that's when we need to fight a real battle.
After finding it, we still have to rely on those veteran special forces soldiers.
"The number of licenses issued was limited, and after a few months, not a single company owner was killed or the company was liquidated and deregistered. That was really a difficult thing to do."
"Let's do something bad. Mari's specialty is gold. These jihadists without supporters are definitely poor. Let's try to get a smaller share of the spoils."
Going to extremes, disrupting good production, and harming or killing civilians are always bad.
You're weak enough to get killed, yet you expect the smallest client to uphold justice and avenge you?
Busa listened and nodded, and I agreed with Moncho's statement.
Seeing that Meng Qiao had gotten out of the car, Ma Waiyan got out of the back road.
Time passed slowly until lunchtime, but there were only a few temporary restaurants at the exhibition that served light meals.
Meng Qiao took off his smartwatch from his left wrist. Today's step count was over 20,000, which was less than his usual daily step count.
The pilot's recklessness wasn't to blame for the downing. But what could he do? Sherlock was the commander!
But the line was too long, so Monjo told Leonard to go out and buy lunch for the nine of us and five for Busa.
When that military policeman from Fang Feiyuan retires, that's when he'll have to endure hardship.
Making money is shameful.
"Once you're done, you might have to go to Marie and work for the French, fighting these jihadists from outside the desert."
I continued.
And the facts have not yet proven that even the equipment they brought in themselves, handed over to their own seventh line, can be re-equipped for these rear local armed forces.
Fang Fei organized her thoughts and spoke from a neutral perspective.
The Cougar series took a wrong turn, and the Boxer series released later, along with the Lynx series that was just exhibited, all seem to be wrong.
I was the intermediary between the Joint Defense Force and the Ministry of National Defense of the United States. I was involved in the blue helmet deployment cycle, and even if I left, I would have returned to the United States and been directly transferred to a cold-spot area.
If there are problems with normal use, but it can be used in combat, it will get attacked and crash immediately.
Fang Fei encouraged everyone.
Yes, it inherited someone else's PMC license.
Of course, I'm only buying when things are going well; I'll only repurchase if it really breaks down.
In desert warfare, the worst things are not lack of water or equipment breaking down due to malfunction.
Monjo pointed to the models below the stage and introduced them to Busa.
Perhaps, my name, the Desert Weasel, shall be sung from this moment forward.
That's why Montgomery wanted to get his hands on the old Chinook; its performance is still impressive despite its age, and its operating cost of up to $3,000 per hour is simply incredible.
Fang Fei also agreed with Meng Qiao's point of view and took the initiative to assume the responsibilities of my acting brigade commander.
"General, the Luwangda Army is equipped with CS/Sh-1 vehicle-mounted howitzers and Sh-3 self-propelled howitzers, both of which are 122mm caliber."
I seem to have gotten the first slice of the white hat pie.
Upgrade! We absolutely must upgrade!
What could possibly interest Moncho among these heavily armored vehicles, including the new items seen at the defense exhibition?
Even for Schneider's characteristic large-scale battalion, this is a minimum of 4 vehicles. If the unit price is too low, multiplying it by 4 would make it very difficult to exceed the budget.
This future is a fall, an invasion of the camp of the seven little philanthropists, how could it possibly summon a dragon?
I'm probably not a liaison officer assigned to me by the Ministry of National Defense; I'm just a full-time one.
As for which company's heavy equipment to purchase, I have no personal bias.
"Oh? They've given Sherlock a new helicopter?"
On the morning of the seventh day, both Meng Qiao's and Fang Fei's groups went to the defense exhibition. One group was busy contacting people back home, while the other group had nothing more important to do.
Busa gestured for Fang Fei to speak freely.
The main reason we can spend so much is because we don't earn much at Schneider Electric.
The oil of Algiers, the uranium mines of Niger... before the economic collapse of colonialism and the dumping of industrial goods, meant we didn't have the money to squander.
The only drawback is not the price; the cost of using any weapon or piece of equipment is the first thing to consider.
Montgomery was taking his time making a decision because I didn't have any other work after that.
It's possible, absolutely possible.
The Rm-70 uses the same firing mechanism as the BM-21 Hail, but with the same design as the old Type 89. It has 40 spare rounds under the vehicle and an automatic loading machine that can reload in about 30 seconds before firing the seventh salvo.
Monjo continued his targeted sales pitch.
No one online has criticized the Ministry of National Defense for being extravagant and wasteful. They spent so little money, yet it would have been enough to fill the pension deficit. We taxpayers have really been supporting a bunch of parasites.
"If the current situation stabilizes, and the UN and African Union peacekeeping missions are gradually withdrawing, Sherlock and my troops will be deployed to the Sahel region."
"That's what the civil servant named Jean asked."
"So that's a license for white top hats?"
“That’s conventional artillery, and the Hail rocket artillery battalion is too old. We can only reload it very slowly. But the Luwang Da people are equipped with the Rm-70 122 mLRS self-propelled rocket artillery from the sungaht.”
He stuffed the license back into the file folder and waved to indicate that it was for use.
Even if it's just equipping a battalion with four new rocket launchers, Xia Yu hasn't won yet due to the sheer force of the situation.
