Chapter 130 Enforcing the Contract: A Covert Battle Begins (Please Subscribe!)
The older the vehicle and the lower its technological content, the faster the system can be repaired.
The Harrier with 91.6% integrity took 42.6 working hours, while the F-4K with 89.3% integrity took only 24.3 hours.
Sure enough, the Spey mK202 was much easier to deal with than the Pegasus 11-21 (mK106) lift engine, but Xia Yu was still more familiar with its other name.
Continuing to open the list of weapons that this F-4K has been equipped with, it filled several pages.
[Short-range air-to-air missile; AIm-9J]
Medium-range air-to-air missile: Aim-7E-2
...
After all, it is a carrier-based aircraft that is even older than the Harrier, and the weapons it is equipped with are very dated.
Xia Yu flipped through several pages, skipping over these outdated missiles, and arrived at the most classic aerial bomb interface.
Low-drag general-purpose aerial bomb: mK81 (250 lbs)
Low-drag general-purpose aerial bomb: mK82 (500 lbs)
Starting up the antelope, which was even more agile than a doe, in the hangar, the group headed towards the Busa infantry camp.
After hanging up the phone, we continued driving towards the port. We arrived at Konglu and Xiayu almost at the same time.
Meanwhile, it was a two-seater aircraft. The front seat was for the radar/weapons officer, and those who knew how to use it were all old men in their forties. Kong Lu had to modify it after taking over, so I couldn't directly operate the radar and weapons from the back.
Indeed, seven hands are the way to go, and it's necessary to use new ones in Afica.
Shao Mi drove another Renault, fully loaded with spare parts and ammunition but lacking pre-service maintenance equipment, and followed along to the airport's hangar area.
When the Busa Mechanized Infantry Battalion was formed, I was promoted from lieutenant to colonel and appointed as battalion commander.
"Shao Mi, want to give that old guy a try?"
"Okay, I'll leave it to you. It should be done by the weekend at the latest."
The price difference for the same level can be five or six times in reality, but the system printing isn't that exaggerated. However, given the situation of Jihuo Defense, it's not really necessary.
Pulling back the tarpaulin covering the plane, Shao Mi looked at the fighter jets behind him with awe.
"Yes, sir!"
I contacted the control tower while turning towards the runway.
As a local PMC company, escorting local military equipment assets, Kong Lu will teach us a lesson with 20mm steel needles.
Shao Mi successfully learned how to give.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Sherlock, given what happened, it seems unnecessary to have the literary youth and the police conduct a joint operation."
I don't need to take any measures to restore the city's security to Kuhn's level.
Of course, we also have to count Big Busa, who won along the way.
During that period, besides being busy with military preparations, I also sent several intelligence teams to Wen Qingjia to gather as much intelligence as possible on the defense of concentrated fire after the last battle.
"The situation is not simple. You encountered a robbery far from the bank, and 04 shot and killed the robbers."
When communication resumed, Wenqing called Lao Busa again and told me about it.
It was because Konglu miscalculated the timing that the goods were delivered to Busa's infantry battalion at the end of the month.
In addition to the driver and passenger seats, the eland can accommodate three people in the front, making it able to fit all five of us.
It's really difficult to make a living; I only managed to get a small amount after all that effort.
Inexperienced Chinese people usually have outside security guards waiting inside. It's even easier for artsy young people to go it alone; they bring their own guns.
I know that even now, on the day that aircraft entered service, the instruments haven't been modified. Anyway, I modified mine by adding an upward-facing display to check the radar display and see if there are any missiles yet.
The banks in Afica are almost all unarmed. Given that even small households don't have AKs, robbing a bank isn't a bad option for ruthless criminals.
Konglu needs someone trustworthy to stay in the hangar while I use Ankaga Airport, and to take on all the logistical work except for fighter maintenance.
A small screen really saves a lot of trouble. The dashboard of the old magnesium F-35 is simplified to two screens. At first glance, it looks like the smart car system of some electric car!
"What a coincidence, you've come for that very reason. Jihuo Defense has purchased an additional fighter jet for ground attack. Is there a way to operate it like the Harrier, which relies on a runway? We hope Ankaga Airport can lease a hangar for you to operate the aircraft."
While it might not pose a significant risk in dealing with rebels, its high speed makes it difficult to be hit by shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles. Furthermore, it is not cheap, with a unit price exceeding $15 million.
Shao Mi and Wen Qing can drive off, while 04 and 06, who are carrying guns, are there to escort the vehicle.
With afterburner at its minimum, the rapidly jetting and burning aviation kerosene is converted into kinetic energy, propelling the aircraft to accelerate little by little until it slowly reaches its limit of Mach 1.9.
"Boom!"
Before I turned fifty, I had already completed the transition from soldier to businessman, and then from businessman to politician.
After Shao Mi used a forklift to unload the 18 aerial bombs and two trays of air-to-air missiles from the truck, Kong Lu also completed the preparations for takeoff.
The old monsters always flew in formation, with one of them providing laser guidance and the remaining planes dropping bombs in turn.
After unloading the infantry fighting vehicles and transport vehicles into another warehouse I had recently rented, I sent my men back home.
Old Busa was elected as a member of the National Assembly on behalf of Ankaga before the rebels were defeated and Kuhn recaptured Panaka.
Before defeating the rebels, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel on the spot, which took longer than my father becoming a member of parliament.
A massive sonic boom cloud exploded, and the world inside the cabin seemed to fall silent instantly.
Kong Lu displayed the F-4K in a small, square shape, hoping to boost the enemy's confidence and urge them to hurry up and beat us up in their Mirage 2000s.
"Calling Mole, how's the situation on their end?"
Old Busa was quite surprised when he heard Konglu state his demands.
Kong Lu contacted Wenqing via wired telephone.
Old Busa offered a brief moment of modesty before getting down to business.
By combining some details, Pierre instantly understood that his branch office had been unilaterally crushed and had become a showcase for Jihuo Defense's products.
That's a speed that the Yak-141 in the other world can't reach, and it's a speed that the Sea Harrier in the real world can never achieve.
From the Busa infantry battalion's camp, on the way to the port, we passed through the city halfway, and we happened to run into Xia Yu.
"A new aircraft from Jihuo Defense? An British F-4K? Why is it the British again?"
Hans expressed his willingness to work, but apart from the company's technical employees, I'm the only one who can drive a military truck. I'll wait until I've mastered the skills first!
Xia Yu only has this one aircraft. At least one more aircraft is needed to form a fleet. But it would be too wasteful to use two aircraft for a job that can be done in one sortie. It would be better to just send a special operations brigade to guide the aircraft on the ground.
The veteran thugs and the newbies look like they're in for a rough time. But since we're not in this business that's punishable by death, it's only a matter of time before we get a beating.
That's also thanks to Conroy only earning what he should earn, and being as greedy as the person in the white top hat.
Later, thanks to the help of old Busa himself and his brother-in-law Moncho, and in the early stages, it was me and Konglu who helped each other succeed, which is why there is no Busa councilor now, and no Jihuo Defense which is in the development and rise stage.
Before the brief flight, the helicopter landed on the playground, and the old literary youth took the initiative to greet it.
Konglu loaded the delayed and damaged modification parts, along with the vehicle body, into the modification module and drove the antelope back to Bogo Village.
It wasn't like that when there were few people around and many eyes, but Kong Lu had always wanted to hide something.
The first news came back that Kuhn had agreed to upgrade three Marder tanks in our elite mechanized infantry battalion through an arms upgrade contract.
That's more in line with the speed of car modifications in reality. It'll definitely be given to these Europeans, and they'll probably receive it quarterly. Efficiency is definitely a factor.
"Waaah~~"
Shao Mi and Wen Qing set off first in their car, and I followed in the helicopter about an hour later.
Shao Mi pushed open the small door of the hangar, and Kong Lu controlled the old ghost to slide out and arrive at the taxiway parallel to the hangar.
When the company's F-4Ks are stationed at Ankaga Airport, a special ammunition depot needs to be set up to store the supplies.
After lunch, Wenqing stayed behind with Shaomi, Wenqing, and the other seven people from 04 and 06, because they weren't going on a mission later.
After discussing that matter, the two talked about the arms upgrade contract, as Wenqing had not yet transferred the 20% advance payment to the company account.
Kong Lu came to pick up the vehicle that time. Old Busa hadn't delayed loading a Weasel A3 and a BTR-80 that were about to be modified into a military trailer.
The artsy youth said, "Isn't that the feeling of supersonic speed?"
"Click~~"
Kuhn's "pre-war" refers to the state of war between the two companies.
Click mK82, select quantity 18, and the scrap aluminum and steel stockpiled outside the system's storage warehouse, before the pesticides and fertilizers have finished their slow decline, are gradually being printed out one by one.
It's a disgrace. We talked about that matter quite a bit, but while our two companies were still at war, the other side took on someone else's modification business. They completely ignored us.
"Splash~~"
Not long after, and not today, finally no bad news came. Jihuo Defense purchased a fighter jet, and it was an old one from the same generation as the Mirage F1.
If manpower is limited, the Super Tucano from Pattaya would be a better choice. Although the single-aircraft payload is only 1.5 tons, the operating cost is very high, and it is also selective about takeoff sites, so it is not possible to form a squadron of eight or seven aircraft for operations.
That would be bad too. If the museum is built and officially opened for business, and then the building is cleaned up, it would scare away tourists who have traveled a long way to visit Wenqingjia.
The plane is a broken plane, but I still hate the feeling of having my feet on the ground.
Anyway, I'll be driving the old monster to fight them; I have no other choice.
However, once you leave the bank counter, your money is generally safe; once you step outside the counter, your personal safety and property are at risk.
Seeing is believing, and people always believe what they see, but even the eyes can deceive them.
If we win, we'll contain that Harrier, or at worst, shoot down that F-4K, letting the concentrated fire defenses experience the joy of losing a fighter jet.
"Keep backing away, and you can have someone else handle that!"
Using a Mirage 2000C to deal with an F-4K is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!
Ankagana seemed to have returned to peace for the past few months, but there were still some ruthless bandits with AKs who wanted to make a name for themselves by exploiting the situation.
In just a few days, Jihuo Defense expanded its air power, developing at a very rapid pace.
Last week, Kong Lu, having secured the authorization contract, drove off in a trailer carrying the equally modified F-4K Phantom to Ankaga Airport.
"That's thanks to the strong support of the concentrated fire defense. Monjo contacted you and said that Kuhn plans to have them take on fewer combat contracts before the war."
In addition to these "iron bombs" ranging from 250 to 2000 pounds, there is also the GbU Gemway series with a laser-guided head.
“Mr. Sherlock, you are worried because you are safe and sound. We white hats will be punished.”
The group that got robbed clearly had some experience, but we were unlucky and ran into concentrated fire.
More than a decade later, Kuhn's Su-25s will be docked at Ankaga Airport, but after so much time, that place has once again welcomed new fighter jets.
It may seem like a bad thing that the enemy is short-sighted, but that would be too shameful. I would rather they take us seriously.
Kong Lu disliked slow acceleration; that performance metric was far less important than top speed.
Amidst the sound of a camera taking a picture, the F-4K was frozen in time under the phone screen, and then transmitted over the network to the United States thousands of kilometers away.
That's right, it's better to take advantage of the time before the company gets too small, because the enemy might be more lenient once they take it down.
This led to the phenomenon of robbing people who had just withdrawn money, with us being the easy targets.
"That's such a pity. I'll teach you how to maintain it after you've finished flying it!"
Because of the weak combat capability demonstrated by concentrated fire defense on the battlefield, we only superficially assist each other, but in reality we will favor concentrated fire defense.
A large company doesn't operate like that; with many aircraft in operation, the efficiency of a single bombing sortie must be low.
With that little money, you could buy a used F16 with just a little more.
That's the limit of the Spey mK202, the limit of the GM J79-GE-17. Exceeding the Spey's acceleration will result in slower acceleration and lower fuel consumption.
...
“You’ll take care of us up ahead, and there’ll be time to congratulate him on becoming a member of parliament, Mr. Artsy.”
Kong Lu leaned against the fuselage with one hand and said seductively.
Pierre flipped through the photos in his hand, his mind filled with questions.
It's a pity, but the lack of logistical and maintenance experience with the female Deer means that starting to develop fixed-wing fighter jets will be much slower.
I just replaced the machine gun, and I'm really hoping that none of them will be blind enough to walk right into my trap.
Gun control is one thing, but gun control isn't another. People will always be willing to take risks. We saw an infantry fighting vehicle under a trailer on the road, with a small unit following behind. The desire to pull off a heist would be very weak.
Because of its age, the instrument panel of that American seventh-generation fighter jet was also from a watch shop.
Eighty-eighths were all brigade commanders, a phenomenon that only occurred in certain communities in that era, but who could blame them when the Ankaga Brigade was really weak!
By the way, replace the old AN/AwG-11 (Japanese version of AN/AwG-10) with a Blue Fox, so that in addition to the bombs, it can also carry two Super Sidewinder missiles for self-defense.
Upgrading the two vehicles to the Marder S30 and btR-82S can be done in about 50 man-hours. After all, there is no mature modification plan for the S30, and the modification efficiency is almost the same as the original condition.
It should be mentioned again within 1987. With a salary of 28 cents, he would be appointed as the deputy brigade commander of the Ankaga Brigade, serving as my uncle's deputy in name only, but actually the lowest-ranking commander.
Even though it was Kuhn, an older seventh-generation aircraft operated by a PMC company, it still attracted the attention of a small number of staff.
Without a steam catapult, Kong Lu pushed the throttle lever all the way down, engaged afterburner, and lifted off, piloting the F-4K into the sky.
"Yes, sir!"
Before becoming a councilor, the old literary youth no longer felt a greater sense of responsibility towards that city.
Without armed escorts, the vehicle is less likely to break down, especially since artsy types will even follow it around in helicopters.
