From arms dealer to king of war

Qiao Jia was not kidding. He had had this idea since Ayou told her about her situation yesterday.

For a formal company and a serious career, it doesn't matter what the future holds. First of all, you can make your own funds come from a reasonable place.

Travel companies, aircraft leasing companies, and hunting guide companies are registered separately. Although Qiao Jia doesn't understand them very well, there is a lot of room for financial operations.

SD Bank is not very reliable, but there are many Chinese banks in SD. As a Chinese, I have built such a big business here, so it should be normal for me to make some money, right?

Of course, these are only limited to small fights, but for Qiao Jia, this is enough for the time being.

After explaining his thoughts to Sailimu, although this guy looked at him like he was a fool, Qiao Jia didn't mind at all, and he was always in a good mood, making everyone want to laugh.

In the afternoon of the next day, two helicopters landed on the airport runway according to the coordinates provided by Qiao Jia.

After carefully checking the condition of the plane, Qiao Jia settled the accounts for the two pilots and arranged for Sailimu to drive them to Khemu so that they could take the plane back to Egypt.

Then he filled up the oil for the little antelope with his own hands, grabbed Kaman and Nice, and took advantage of the night to fly towards Darfur.

The Oryx could only fly up to 800 kilometers with a full tank of fuel. Qiao Jia carefully controlled the plane and refueled at a small airport outside a city called Obayid. After an 8-hour flight, he finally When the sky brightened, he flew over the valley where the arsenal was located.

This flight was a bit of an experiment. Qiao Jia himself was an excellent mechanic and could monitor the status of the little antelope at any time.

But as a newbie, he needs to understand how airplanes operate in SD.

What surprised him was that there was no so-called air traffic control here. As long as you were not hovering over Khemu, no one would care about you in other cities.

When you want to park at the airport, turn on the radio and shout, and someone will guide you to land somewhere in the airport, and then charge you a hefty parking fee.

On the contrary, refueling is really not too expensive. Anyway, Qiao Jia has calculated that the aviation fuel here is not as expensive as the domestic 95-proof gasoline.

A liter of oil costs more than a dollar. Flying a helicopter is actually cheaper than driving in China. Can you believe this?

Qiao Jia has always felt that helicopters are a tall thing. Although he has experienced various bizarre operations in Egypt, when he came to SD, he still felt a bit magical.

Too casual, too simple!

According to the airport ground staff, if you are not picky, you can find a remote place to park, call him, and he can drive to your door to refuel.

Of course, the price will be much cheaper than stopping at the airport, and the aviation fuel is definitely not his.

Snakes have their own ways, and rats have their own ways. It's really not nonsense. If you don't practice it, you won't know that the world is weirder than you think.

Qiao Jia drove the little antelope and landed slowly in the valley of arms under the rising sun.

After being gone for less than half a year, there are no other changes here except for the tanks and armored vehicles parked in the open air, which are dustier.

After asking Kaman to open the hangar door, Qiao Jia went in to find a hydraulic trolley specially used to tow helicopters, and dragged the little antelope in.

Then he looked at the idle Mi-8 transport aircraft. He rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "We need a Mi-8. Kaman, you and Nice are responsible for preparing the munitions. I will be responsible for making this big guy operate. stand up.

Those Nuer people want a lot of goods, and we may need to make three trips."

Nice heard this and said a little curiously: "I can also fly a helicopter, you can prepare two of them."

Qiao Jia nodded and said: "I thought so at first, but if two Mi-8s fly within SD, I think it is still a bit too eye-catching.

Let’s use one plane for a test flight first. If the route is relatively safe, we will use two planes to transport the remaining cargo on the next trip. "

As he spoke, Qiao Jia looked around the hangar and said with some emotion: "It would be great if these helicopters could be sold. This place is too close to Liberia, and it is still risky to play with them here.

If only I could find a route to Syria, where there would be a buyer for this thing. "

Nice looked at Qiao Jia's look. She hesitated and said, "I suggest you don't have to worry too much. Those who can afford and use the helicopter basically don't need to buy it from you. If you can't afford it, you can sell it no matter what." Useless."

When Qiao Jia heard this, he thought so. Armed helicopters are really not something that some small countries can afford.

It's not that they can't afford it, but the maintenance and supporting munitions are too troublesome. Getting some transport planes and mounting machine guns in the cabin is already a high-end equipment for them.

The matter of selling helicopters can be put aside for now. Qiao Jia used the detector to find the Mi-8 in the best condition. With the help of tools, one person completed the maintenance work for the helicopter. Finally, he dragged the aircraft out of the hangar and used The gas truck filled up his tank.

The aircraft's own fuel tank and two external fuel tanks add 3,100 liters of light oil. When fully loaded, it can fly about 1,100 kilometers.

While Kaman and Niss were sorting out their weapons, Qiaojia tried it out in the open space in the valley and found that the Mi-8 helicopter had pretty good controllability.

This kind of aircraft is called the AK47 among helicopters. It is indeed very simple and practical.

The exact model driven by Qiao Jia should be the Mi-8T military transport type.

By removing the 24 seats on the back seat, a cargo space measuring 7 meters long and 2.4 meters wide can be obtained.

If you look at the entire aircraft from the side, it actually looks like a giant dragonfly adhering to the roof of a bus. Compared with the domineering Mi-28, the Mi-8 really lives up to its code name, like a simple and honest head. 'Hippopotamus'.

But the 'Hippo' is also very scary when angry. If Qiao Jia feels the need, he can choose several other armed models with weapon mounts.

Just like the B-8 rocket nest he used earlier, this big guy can carry four at once, the abdomen and the remaining two hardpoints, and can also choose anti-tank missiles and more powerful aerial bombs.

It's a pity that Qiao Jia really didn't dare to be too ostentatious. He already felt that it was enough to get a machine gun and a grenade launcher on the machine gun racks in the hatches on both sides.

After trying for several hours, Qiao Jia landed the plane in the open space with satisfaction, refilled it with fuel, and then found a quiet place in the arsenal to rest for the night.

On the second day, we began to load the aircraft with munitions!
