Firepower is king

Gao Guang hates this vulgar idea of ​​adding money, because everyone has learned to add money at every turn.

He had just praised Warhammer for being reliable and down-to-earth, but before he had even spent the night after returning from his trip, he started asking for more money. Could it be that this bastard Danny had a bad idea.

"You...you called Danny?" Warhammer shook his head.

Didn't Danny ask for more money? Then it should be easier to handle. Could it be that Warhammer finally saw the money and felt it was inappropriate not to take advantage of it? "How much do you want to add?"

Warhammer said seriously: "Six hundred thousand."

Gao Guang thought about 10 million, and even thought about 6 million, but he just didn't think about the option of 600,000, because if he had to make a choice, he would rather not take the small amount of 600,000, it would be better to exchange it for favors. So the number of 600,000 really surprised Gao Guang. It was not too much, but too little.

"Six hundred thousand?" "U.S. dollars."

Warhammer was very serious. He whispered: "I am not willing to temporarily increase the price, but our mission is to seize the airport, and now we have captured the airport, but now we still have to defend the airport, and we have to fight an armored force. , so I have to give an explanation. If I add 10,000 yuan to each person, at least it will give them a reason to extend the mission.

"Okay! No problem, six hundred thousand dollars!"

This price is like no offer. If Gaoguang doesn't agree quickly, I'm afraid I'll be sorry for my conscience. .??.

Warhammer was also very happy. He said on the intercom: "Everyone has an additional commission of 10,000 US dollars. Okay, everyone, cheer up. I want you to form two lines of fire to delay the enemy's attack..." Warhammer While talking, he hurried away.

At this time, the lord who was waiting on the side came forward and whispered: "He must have just entered this industry and hasn't learned how to take advantage of the opportunity to ask for a price." Gao Guang shrugged and said nothing.

The lord continued: "They are paratroopers. Paratroopers are born to be surrounded, so they don't care much about the situation of being surrounded. They are used to it. In addition, although the paratroopers are light infantry, because they are light infantry, no matter what kind of battle it is, they have to fight on their own. , you have to fight on your own when there is no support, no logistics, and you are surrounded, so you know what the most suitable type of mercenary is, right? It’s not a special force, it’s a paratrooper.”

Gao Guang looked at the lord because he didn't know why the lord was telling him this.

The lord also felt that he talked too much, but the problem was that he didn't know how to talk to Gao Guang without finding a topic.

"Hmm... Regarding drones, shouldn't you introduce to me the technical features? The other thing is, what can I do?

Can't see the prototype? ” People under the eaves have to bow their heads.

The lord is in this situation now. He has no choice but to ramble when he wants Gao Guang, hoping that Gao Guang will relent. Gao Guang turned around and looked at Yuan Zheng. He waved his hand and said, "Tell the lord the technical characteristics of the drone." Lei stood aside silently. How could he be absent at this time.

The lord glanced at Lei, and he said slightly dissatisfied: "Man, I paid for the next information!"

The lord spent money and paid the price to know the attack methods and principles of drones, but Lei did not pay a penny. Now the lord wants to receive the goods, but Lei is standing next to him to gain knowledge. This will certainly make the lord dissatisfied. .

But Lei didn't say anything. Gao Guang said very directly: "We have to tell him anyway. Let's listen together so we don't have to tell him again alone." The lord was helpless and unhappy, but he had nothing to say.

Yuanzheng came over to tell them about drones, but Gao Guang was busy with other things. He hurriedly found the ground crew who were refueling and inspecting the aircraft, and shouted: "Are you all ready? Can you take off? Here you go. Come on, these helicopters, hurry, hurry!"

When Gao Guang and the others went to carry out the rescue operation, the airport was not idle. Refueling and preparations for takeoff were carried out simultaneously. By the time they returned, there should be a plane ready to take off.

Just fly away one by one, send all the captured planes away, and then when you evacuate, just continue to take the plane you came from.

Three An-12s and four Mi-8s. These are aircraft that can fly away after refueling and simple maintenance. Put these aircraft

Sent to Djibouti, Gao Guang will not pay compensation for this operation. So after returning to the airport, it’s the busy harvest time.

The pilots sent by the Tiren Formation are always on standby. They have even entered the cabin and landed at the airport. The flight route map has been given to them before departure. Now they only need a release signal from the airport to leave.

The pilots of the TPLF are all managed by a lieutenant colonel. This lieutenant colonel received flight training in the West. During the previous TPLF administration, he served as an airport commander of the Air Force and was responsible for commanding and managing transport aircraft.

Ethiopia is indeed backward, but almost all African countries are the same. No matter how backward and poor a country is, there are still some well-educated elites.

The lieutenant colonel in front of me

Yes, he was wearing a clean and neat military uniform, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. If it weren't for the military uniform, he would look more like an intellectual than an officer. And Gao Guang didn't even know the lieutenant colonel's name, because the lieutenant colonel seemed a little hostile to him.

Gao Guang found the lieutenant colonel and said politely but coldly: "Lieutenant colonel, can the plane take off?"

The lieutenant colonel nodded. He looked at the planes already lined up on the runway. After being silent for several seconds, he suddenly said: "These are all planes that belong to us..."

Gao Guang frowned a little. He was not familiar with the lieutenant colonel, so he didn't know his past or his position, but the lieutenant colonel's expression made Gao Guang feel a little dangerous. If the lieutenant colonel had someone fly the plane to Mekele, it would be hard to talk about.

But the lieutenant colonel just sighed softly, and then he turned to the highlight and said: "It's time to take off. Now, these planes belong to you, and...

The lieutenant colonel seemed to be in great difficulty. After struggling for several times, he finally said: "Our pilots and ground staff are all very good. You have got these planes and you also need pilots. I want to know, you Can you give them a job?"

Gao Guang was confused and shocked, because what the lieutenant colonel was saying didn't seem to be hostile to him, but meant to give him a gift. If the plane is seized, the pilot will be sent to the formation. Is this what you mean?

I didn’t mention it before departure, but now we are about to take off. Let’s talk about giving a job. Does this mean that we have to rely on the spotlight for a long time? But the problem is that everyone knows that airplanes are expensive, but pilots are equally precious. The people trained by our country If the pilot gave it to an arms dealer, could this be considered a threat? It was a big gift.

Gao Guang couldn't believe these beautiful things. He frowned and said, "Before we set off, you didn't tell me that you had these requirements. You are increasing the price temporarily."

The lieutenant colonel whispered: "This is not a threat. Regardless of whether you agree or not, we will carry out the mission and fly the plane to the place you request. But if you agree, they don't have to come back. If you don't agree, they will take it." Our plane returns to Mekele.”

Turning around and pointing at Gao Guang, they were riding in the An-12 flying from Mekele. The lieutenant colonel continued: "If you agree, then this plane will be given to you. Together with the crew, you will fly to Djibouti and you won't have to come back." Well, if you don’t agree, then this plane will pick up our people and fly them back to Mekele from Djibouti.”

too much

A plane was sent by the Tianjin Array. It would be too polite to mention the formation.

But thinking about it, the practice of mentioning the formation is understandable.

The People's Liberation Army is ready to go up to the mountains to fight guerrillas. Mekele will be lost, and the airport will be taken away by the People's Liberation Army. And these precious pilots will have no use without their planes. It is really a waste to keep them. , and may even lose their lives in the war.

Gao Guang said to the lieutenant colonel: "We haven't said this before. You just said it now. It does feel like you are taking the opportunity to threaten me, but we both know that doing this is good for me, so I will definitely not object, but there are some We must speak clearly, what happens next?”

The lieutenant colonel said solemnly: "The plane belongs to you. When our civil war is over, these pilots will naturally come back. Now we just give them a safe place to stay and preserve some seeds for our air force." Gao Guang thought for a while and said: "You know that the main purpose of these planes in the future is to transport cargo to you, right?"

"I know, so we need our pilots even more."

Gao Guang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Okay, then it's settled. I want both the pilot and the plane. How about your treatment..."

The salary of the pilots is not low, and the salary of the crew members is also very high. They are performing high-risk flight missions, so the salary and bonuses are not too low. Plus there are about thirty ground staff, Gao Guangguang maintains such a fleet. The cost is very high.

But no matter how high the cost is, they still have to support them. Gao Guang thought for a moment and said, "I will pay them according to the mainstream level."

The lieutenant colonel shook his head and whispered to Gao Guang: "One-third of the salary of all these people is given to them personally, and two-thirds is given to us. This salary distribution plan was approved by them, and we all I am willing to make my own contribution to the Tiren Formation.”

Does the People's Liberation Army also want to engage in labor export? It's not impossible. This is a solution that benefits both sides.

Including the one donated by the Tiren Formation, there are now four An-12s. Each An-12 requires five crew members, that is, twenty people. There are four Mi-8s, each with two pilots and one random mechanic, that’s twelve people.

That’s thirty-two people, plus about thirty ground staff, that’s about sixty people. The monthly salary of air crew is almost 10,000 US dollars per person, and the ground staff can get up to 3,000. After calculating the monthly fixed expenses, it’s Four hundred thousand.

There was nothing to hesitate if he could bear it. Gao Guang nodded and said: "I agree with this plan, let them take off."
