From arms dealer to king of war

Qiao Jia didn't really take 'rescuing the princess' seriously...

Because he felt that P·B would feel direct pressure only after the princess went to Central Africa.

Princess Emina is not really in jail. How much trouble can it cause to sneak her out without the surveillance of a few servants?

Let Nice and the rest of the girls go and figure out how to break into the prince's reception and steal people like in the movie.

Qiao Jia found the study alone, then took out his phone and called Kaman, who had been working for him in Central Africa. He learned about the detailed situation at the base, and then told Kaman about his return date.

In fact, Qiao Jia had not been in the United States for long, but he could clearly hear the 'uncertainty' in Kaman's tone.

The old guy is afraid that his boss will be obsessed with the prosperous United States and eventually shift the focus of his career to the United States.

So when I spoke, I deliberately magnified the difficulties encountered at the base...

There are still not enough logistics personnel, and the number of spare parts and ground staff of the Air Force is too small, resulting in unsmooth operations of the Air Force.

Without the constant cover of the Air Force, P.B. still lost lives in the past week.

The little black soldiers recruited and trained by P·B themselves encountered hard problems while encircling and suppressing drug dealers in the jungle. Three were killed and six were seriously injured.

In the end, the 'Jungle Guard' from the gold mine closest to them took action, and only then did they wipe out all the non-native armed drug traffickers.

Only then did Qiao Jiayou know that in order to open up drug channels, those drug dealers would be willing to make any attempt.

Hiring mercenaries with more combat experience to serve as armed escorts is a relatively cheap but effective option.

The jungle of the Congo is too vast. What those mercenaries have to do is to find a new path in the jungle of the Congo to avoid the scope of P·B radiation.

Then board the boat near the inland city of Bemba in Congo, and sail down the river to Mosaka, the city closest to Congo-Brazzaville.

Then it goes north through Congo-Brazzaville into Nigeria, then through Cameroon, Niger and then into Libya.

Choga strangled Central Africa and cut off the most convenient route for drug traffickers, which is the Ubangi River. This caused drug traffickers to make a big circle in Afika.

If it were not for the lower cost of taking a boat down the Congo River, the internal transportation in Nigeria and Cameroon would be okay. At the same time, some drugs could be absorbed to make up for the losses of drug dealers. Qiaojia suspected that the online drug dealers had already joined forces with P.B. The war started.

I don’t know if the drug traffickers have received any news. Recently, there have been many strange ships on the river on the China-Congo border. They are basically drug transport ships for drug traffickers.

The lying Toucan caused the malfunction during the non-stop patrolling of the river.

Although they forced the drug traffickers into the jungle inside Congo and forced them to go 60 kilometers south to board a boat on the Congo River, P·B couldn't stand it for a long time.

P·B's control over the river is still not enough. It relies on manned surveillance along the way to cooperate with air force bombing. The effect is of course very good, but the consumption is too exaggerated.

Everyone within P·B who had access to the command level was a little dissatisfied with the status quo, so the Toucan took a rest, and then a group of black soldiers ran into a group of drug-trafficking mercenaries during a routine patrol.

Otherwise, even if the black soldiers of P·B were novices, 3 of them would die and 6 of them would be seriously injured at once.

In fact, the situation is not too bad, Qiao Jia had already expected this.

He knew that with Afica's low cost of transporting drugs, P.B. alone could not kill those drug dealers.

The current situation is already better than the most ideal state Qiao Jia ever imagined!

As long as the drug traffickers persist, P·B will be able to hold on to the African Union's anti-drug contract and maintain the four-nation route from Kenya.

It doesn't matter even if you don't need money in the future, the most important thing is to firmly hold the commanding heights of law.

The most important thing at the moment is actually buying boats, armed speedboats and inland river patrol boats.

The cost of controlling the Ubangi River must be reduced. As for the drug traffickers who want to leave the Congo River, let them go.

The big guys in the Congo are not very willing to crack down on drug traffickers. Qiao Jia can't lick his face and take the initiative to help. He has to wait for them to beg him to live up to his status as a 'mercenary'.

The most difficult part now is actually the part where Uganda enters the Congo. This is a drug channel that must be controlled according to the contract, and the easy places to travel on this line are close to the north, close to Central Africa.

This large area with almost no jurisdiction is where P.B.'s elite team is busiest. It is here that the two Hinds lay down tiredly.

If high-end logistics cannot keep up, the pressure on the teams on the ground will increase.

Although he knew that Kaman's words were a bit exaggerated, Qiao Jia still repeatedly promised to leave from the United States the night after tomorrow. He would live at the base then and would not go anywhere until the plane was repaired.

After hanging up the phone with Carman, Joga called Gemma Alexander and her parents to say goodbye.

After informing the other party of her itinerary, it was confirmed that Gemma's charity trip could officially begin.

The next step was to inform Cooper of the FBI and Michael Beach of the DEA of the good news that he was going to "get out", and then ask them to take care of P·B's American branch.

Finally, I called both Wagner and Chris to ask these two guys, who had been a little happy and carefree in Washington recently, to take it easy and not take on tasks that P.B. could not complete.

But what Qiao Jia didn't expect was that Chris brought him some eye-opening news.

Embraer's Super Tucano was returned by the U.S. Air Force...

This matter originally had nothing to do with Qiao Jia, because there was a business game and the most important issue of face.

The Super Tucano is very useful, but American arms suppliers are not so easy to do. If you don’t move your company and production lines to the United States, pay taxes here, and provide me with jobs, why should I buy your aircraft?

Chris told Qiaojia that the United States suddenly gave all the Super Tucanos deployed in Afghanistan to the Afghan government forces, and then canceled a US$470 million Super Tucano order and gave Embraer Airlines to It’s so painful.

The Brazilians can only continue this order by cooperating with the Sierra Nevada Company to build a new Super Tucano production line in the United States in accordance with the requirements of the Americans, and then re-developing a new American standard combat system.

The specific name of this system has not yet been decided, but according to Chris's description, the US Special Operations Command has obtained a budget of 3 billion US dollars from the Air Force and wants to re-open the bidding. The goal is a lightweight system that can be deployed on the front line. Propeller fighter.

According to Chris, the United States saw the advantages of the Super Tucano, and then decisively took the bottom of the cauldron and cheated Embraer.

After they build a production line in the United States, although the Super Tucano can still participate in bidding, this model that the United States cannot fully control will definitely become a foreign trade model.

Then the United States will use its own influence to use toucans produced in the United States to compete with toucans native to Brazil. The price is more expensive than yours, and you can sell more than you.

Who can imagine this?

The propeller fighter jets used by the US military will be born in the hands of their internal giants.

The most popular one currently is the AT-802U Sky Watcher, which was developed by defense giant L3 Harris and Air Tractor Company and was transformed from an agricultural machine.

The AT-6E ‘Wolverine’ produced by Deschlon and the MC-145B ‘Coyote’ transport and strike dual-purpose propeller aircraft produced by the Polish company PZL.

The last ‘Coyote’ will most likely end up like the Super Tucano.

This is the first time Qiao Jia has heard of this kind of business. They lure you with orders, then break the contract and force you to submit. Even if you comply, the biggest benefit will not fall on you in the end. You will become part of them... …

This thing is no longer just a business competition, there must be a very fierce game behind it.

The old American military-industrial complex took over Embraer's Super Tucano project with just a few moves.

Qiao Jia was a little shocked to hear it, but he still didn't understand why Chris was telling him this...

"I know, but what does this have to do with me?"

Chris, who is in Washington, said with a smile: "Embraer's first batch of four Super Tucanos are ready for delivery, but now the Americans don't want them.

Brazilian airlines have to complete investment in building a factory in the United States before they can continue to fulfill orders. They have problems with their funds and now they need to sell off these Toucans.

Do you want to? The price is very suitable! "

When Qiao Jia heard this, he whistled and said, "How much? If it's less than 10 million, I want it."

This stuff is sold in Afika..."

When Chris heard this, he smiled and said: "Of course, I just saw people from the Air Force chatting with some Nigerians. They want to transfer the increased price of the Toucan order to Nigeria. The delivery period should be about four to five years. .

The people at Brazilian Airlines are already mad, but they can’t do anything about it, haha, Jackal, this is a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation...

The price they sold to the U.S. Air Force was 21 million per aircraft, but I think one can take down those Super Tucanos for 9 million.

Because I checked the transaction price between PIA and the Colombian Air Force, and it was only 12 million for a single aircraft.

Anyone you talk to at this time will get a lower price. As long as you are willing to spend money readily, you can definitely win those planes for 9 million. "

After hearing this, Qiao Jia said decisively: "Take them and let them send me the plane to Central Africa.

I should have no problem building a squadron of Super Tucanos to make them look impressive, and then selling two of them.

FUCK, these Yankees are so fucking bad, but I like it.

Remember to pay more attention to similar things. The arms bidding of the United States is not a secret. We cannot participate in those unknown games, but there are still benefits to be gained from the losers, haha...

I’ve seen the MC-145B ‘Coyote’ online. That multi-purpose fixed-wing aircraft is more suitable for P·B…

I'll just wait and see. It would be good to buy the prototype that failed the bidding at a low price, haha..."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Jia thought for a while and said: "Ask the people at PIA if they are interested in setting up a training and maintenance base in Afika...

They also have shares in companies in the United States. Toucan's largest markets are in the Middle East and Afika. Ask them if they have any ideas to make arrangements in Afika in advance?

I can provide space and funds, and as long as they are willing to provide people, we can cooperate to build a Super Toucan Afika 4S store. "

Chris was confused by Qiao Jia's idea. He thought for a while and said, "What do you want to do?"

Qiao Jia said matter-of-factly: "I am an arms dealer, isn't it natural to sell airplanes?"

As Qiao Jia saw the door of the study room being pushed open, Nice made a gesture to him, and then said to the phone: "I have something to do now. You go and do it. If the negotiation is done, I will give you 10% commission." ."
