From arms dealer to king of war

Qiao Jia did not take any confidentiality measures for the club, but he did not expect that news here would spread so quickly, and that those giant companies would act so quickly after getting a whiff of it.

My mother’s ‘Fierce Dragon’ and Sweden’s ‘Griffin’ also want to join the competition for orders from the United Arab Emirates.

The US$15 billion order makes many people salivate!

As two very distinctive fighter jets in the world fighter trade, they obviously do not want to miss this opportunity.

Compared with Rafale and MiG-35, Xiaolong and Gripen may be slightly inferior in capabilities, but they are cost-effective.

No one’s money comes from strong winds. The foreign trade price of Rafale is about 200 million US dollars, the Xiaolong is only 50 million, and the more expensive Gripen is only 90 million.

In terms of equipment demand alone, excluding the factor of showing off wealth, compared with 80 Xiaolong or Xiaolong and 80 Rafale, the difference is really not that big for the UAE.

The old mother's family and Sweden are indeed about the same in terms of safe output capabilities, but France is not that good either...

Boss Qiao can understand the needs of these two families, but he knows too well the bad ethics of the Abu Dhabi royal family. It is their label to only buy the expensive ones and not the right ones.

Qiao Jia felt that it was okay to let the Gripen participate, but the old mother's family should not be involved in something that was destined to be disappointing.

However, Boss Qiao still does not have a particularly in-depth understanding of the key points in the fighter jet trade.

He ignored how attractive it is to companies that produce fighter jets through actual combat demonstrations and on-the-ground competition with competing products.

The five eldest brothers collectively nodded to the Yemen safe zone, which means that what happens there will be a completely legal war, more legal than Iraq and Afghanistan.

No one wants to miss this practical opportunity!

The United States has a reputation for not participating. Their fighter jets fly outside all day long, so there is no need to waste money on such a display.

And Boss Qiao will definitely send the F-16 to Djibouti, so it doesn't matter to them at all.

The United States is confident, but other countries are not.

If you miss this rare opportunity for actual competition, your opponents will make excuses whenever you participate in international bidding in the future.

The Rafale and MiG-35 are both medium-sized multi-functional fighters, while the Xiaolong and Gripen are both light-weight multi-functional fighters.

If you look at the data alone, the medium-sized fighters must be more powerful. After all, they can fly farther.

But when discussing actual combat effectiveness, the main thing to look at is demand.

For most countries with small territories and whose national defense positioning is mainly defensive, the Xiaolong and Gripen are definitely enough.

Moreover, what determines the outcome of a one-on-one battle is actually the fighter's radar and missile performance, as well as its ability to resist electronic interference. This has nothing to do with whether you are a medium-sized aircraft or a light aircraft!

But in the end, these things that are talked about on paper still have to be boiled down to actual combat.

Whether it is a mule or a horse, whoever wins, even if he misses the order from the United Arab Emirates, can get it back elsewhere later.

Selling fighter jets is not selling cars. Most of the consumers of this stuff are internationally recognized sovereign countries, and their role is to improve the users' national defense system.

Normal purchases start with 5 aircraft, and subsequent upgrades and maintenance are also huge ways to make money.

Negotiating a family is equivalent to getting a gold mine, not to mention the derived political benefits generated by the other party's dependence on you by the Air Force!

In this regard, the old mother's family is really not interested. They are still in the stage of giving money and trying to find ways to export their influence.

After Qiaojia received the call, he agreed to Gami about the participation of the Gripen in the war...

It’s really not good to not give face to people who bring their own dry food and come to help you fight.

But he hasn't thought about the Xiaolong at his old mother's house yet...

Just when Boss Qiao returned to the penthouse to breastfeed his poor son, Dorian came over with two middle-aged men...

Qiao Jia was sitting on the sofa, holding his son in one hand and holding a bottle in the other. Seeing Igor eating greedily, Qiao Jia said helplessly: "Let's be patient, daddy will take you to the resort in a few days.

Be more obedient, smile more, and make your mother happy...

I think you are quite competitive compared to Sloth! "

As he spoke, Qiao Jia looked at the two guests who came over. He smiled at one of his acquaintances, AVIC Li Weiguo, and said, "Mr. Li, you can sit wherever you like..."

We all are our own people, so don't be polite here. "

Li Weiguo and Boss Qiao experienced the evacuation from Libya together. He helped Boss Qiao obtain Blue Sword 7 in his early stages.

Seeing Boss Qiao coaxing his son, Li Weiguo smiled, took out a big red envelope, put it on Igor's belly, and said with a smile: "When we meet for the first time, I, an elder, have to express my gratitude no matter what."

As he spoke, Li Weiguo pulled the middle-aged man next to him and said with a smile: "Jackal, this is Jin Kaiyang from Northern Industries, Mr. Jin. He has dealt with Xiaoliang, and we are all our own..."

When Qiao Jia heard this, he stood up with his son in his arms, shook hands with Mr. Jin, and said with a smile: "Jialiang Shipyard is thanks to Mr. Jin's help, otherwise Xiao Liang would not be able to find so many engineers.

In the future, Mr. Jin will need more care in the construction of Congo's inland river terminals. "

The Congo River Terminal project is actually in the name of Jialiang trade and uses money from Northern Industries. Of course, Qiaojia has to be polite when he speaks.

Mr. Jin acted very naturally. He smiled and took out a small box from his pocket. After opening it, he took out a small jade gourd tied to a red string. He showed it to Qiao Jia. After getting permission, He put it on Igor's wrist lightly.

"Don't take it too seriously, Mr. Qiao!"

Qiao Jia glanced at the jade gourd hanging on his son's lotus-jointed wrist. He took a step back, nodded in greeting, and said with a smile: "You're so polite!"

As he spoke, Qiao Jia faced Carmen not far away and said with a smile: "Hey, beauty, can you help me get something to drink..."

Soon, under the guidance of Lao Niu, Carmen brought a few cups of tea, then hugged Igor who was full, patted his back gently, and walked to the balcony...

Qiao Jia looked at the two people in front of him and said with a smile: "What do you two bosses want from me?

If I can help, I will definitely help! "

Li Weiguo and Boss Qiao have a comrade-in-arms relationship that has experienced crisis. He did not beat around the bush and said directly: "Normally, I shouldn't be involved in this matter. After all, I am in charge of the drone business, but who told me to be familiar with you... …

You just let it slip below that many people are interested in the UAE’s military procurement business.

We also want to get involved..."

Qiao Jia glanced at Mr. Jin who was smiling and silent. After being silent for a while, he shook his head slightly and said, "We are all our own people, and I won't tell you lies.

There is a high probability that the order from the United Arab Emirates will end up in the hands of the French. Those guys are too rich to burn, and they probably don’t like third-generation aircraft like the Xiaolong.

In fact, I just casually fooled Mikoyang into spending money. After all, my funds were limited, and I had to use my own fighter jets throughout the war in Yemen, which I couldn't bear.

And to be honest with you two, my ultimate goal is not to be on a fighter jet..."

Li Weiguo and Jin Kaiyang looked at each other, smiled, then looked at Qiao Jia and said: "Jackal, whether we can finally get the order is not actually the most important, we need to let Xiaolong appear in actual combat.

Don’t worry, we will do whatever other companies do, and we will never embarrass you. "

As he spoke, Li Weiguo came closer with a smile and said: "Jackal, what is your ultimate goal?

Can you tell us, we are all our own people, we will definitely be happy to help you. "

When Qiao Jia saw that Li Weiguo and the others didn't mind running with them, he naturally didn't care...

Faced with the question, Boss Qiao hesitated for a while and then said: "I have a big plan about Yemen..."

When Li Weiguo heard this, he said curiously: "Isn't the issue of Mukala settled?"

Qiao Jia waved his hand and said: "That's what the adults have agreed upon. In the end, I still have to do the dirty work myself.

To be honest, using orders from the United Arab Emirates to fool a few fighter jets was just the icing on the cake.

The Shah only provided $8 billion in funding in the early stage, and I had to use it sparingly to deal with al Qaeda around Mukalla.

You should know about P·B's situation. I have never had enough manpower.

In the early stage, I will dispatch 200 Kurdish fighters and PB artillery from Iraq to Yemen, but after establishing a foothold, I will have to use mercenaries for the security war.

To extend the front line, control the area around Mukalla, and protect all resource points, at least 3,000 soldiers are needed.

Even according to the minimum logistics standards for mercenaries, 3,000 soldiers still need 1,000 field logistics and 2,000 regular logistics to maintain combat effectiveness for a long time.

Conventional logistics can be recruited on the spot, but the equipment of the 4,000 people is still being chewed, and 8 billion will not last long.

So I have to find a way to raise funds and equipment from outside!

You only know about the UAE’s air force orders, but you definitely don’t know that Qatar also has nearly 50 billion US dollars in army equipment orders.

I just signed a four-year defense contract worth US$4 billion with Qatar a few months ago, and I happened to be a bit of a face-saving friend in it. "

When Mr. Jin heard this, he straightened his back and said in disbelief: "Qatar just signed an $80 billion arms purchase contract with the United States. How could they..."

Qiao Jia spread his hands and said: "The protection fees paid are all in vain. How much of the 80 billion can be delivered in the end is still a question.

This US$50 billion is the real big deal. They need advanced air defense systems and ground control systems...

These are definitely beyond my capabilities, but I can influence Qatar's ground weapons procurement plan to a certain extent, and the amount is not small. "

After hearing this, Mr. Jin's eyes immediately started to shine. He looked at Boss Qiao and said, "What kind of charter has Mr. Qiao prepared?"

Qiao Jia looked at Mr. Jin’s eyes shining, he smiled and shook his head and said: “I have limited funds, so I plan to recruit 3,000 experienced soldiers in Brazil and Colombia to form six battalions.

I have a team of retired Colombian Lancers, from whom I selected two special operations teams, and the rest are working in Libya.

Their fighting ability is not weak and they are hardworking and their salary requirements are not high. They are willing to work for me for just two thousand a month.

However, according to P·B standards, it is impossible to equip these 3,000 people with all the equipment at one time.

So I'm going to get sponsorship...

As you all know about Sevia's Yugo Imbert Company, they will lend me a batch of Mirosh armored vehicles and Lazar armored personnel carriers.

But their production capacity is not enough. These vehicles are only enough to equip 500 people, which is one battalion.

When I'm done with these things, I can find someone to sell them to and then settle the bill with them.

I cooperated very well with the Italians in Libya. Their LMV armored vehicles are very easy to use. I have talked with people from their defense group before, and they are interested in providing me with enough armored vehicles to equip a battalion at a low price..."

When Mr. Jin heard this, he suddenly said: "Our warriors are not bad, and we have a ready-made synthetic camp project. We can also sponsor a battalion..."

He finally realized that Boss Qiao was planning to use Yemen as a weapons testing ground and use Qatar's arms purchase project as bait to invite major arms companies to the site.

Soldiers are recruited by P.B. If you want to show your face, then sponsor it!

What Yemen wants is not some sophisticated stuff, and Yemen doesn’t need anything sophisticated.

Armored vehicles, helicopters, artillery, rocket launchers, and the most in-demand squad weapons are all items that can be bid on individually.

P·B releases the unmanned airship and gives each soldier a mobile phone with a penis installed, so that they can monitor their status in real time and let them feedback on their experience at any time.

If this happens, it will be equivalent to Boss Qiao having hot pot at home with nothing on his hands.

And it's not just that. Mr. Jin has a hunch that Boss Qiao is planning to do something big...

Thinking of this, Mr. Jin rubbed his hands excitedly and said: "This kind of competition is unprecedented, it's worth it, it's worth it...

But Mr. Qiao, the logistical pressure of this kind of IWC mobile battalion is huge.

What did you think about it? "

Qiao Jia spread his hands and said: "Without thinking much, I am going to rent a place in Djibouti and invite interested companies to hold a defense exhibition there.

Afika and the Middle East across the Red Sea will always be hot spots, and these companies are happy to keep the defense show going for a while.

The progress of the war in Yemen is the best advertisement. Even if it cannot compete for orders from Qatar, it can always get some orders from other countries.

In fact, it was not difficult. I just called those famous big companies and they agreed.

It is impossible to provide free items such as helicopter rocket launchers, but they are happy to sponsor team weapons.

At that time, major sponsors of each battalion will be able to name...

I can tell you that the famous Sig Sauer company not only sponsored a battalion of squad weapons, but also cooperated with Triple Canopy and will send a 12-member special forces team to Yemen to experiment with America's next-generation squad weapons.

Italy's Beretta Company is cooperating with the General Motors Group and is also competing for this project. Their new gun RM227 has also been released. At that time, they will not only sponsor a battalion, but also send a special forces team to join in to test the new gun. "

After hearing this, Mr. Jin raised his hands in admiration and said, "I never thought we could fight like this!

If Al Qaeda in Yemen knew that someone was going to greet them like this, I guess they would have surrendered long ago.

But if you do this, the logistical pressure will be too great! "

Boss Qiao spread his hands and said, "What pressure do I have?

Fighting against Al Qaeda will eventually turn into a security war except for the beginning. The consumption of large items will not be too great. In the end, the bulk of the consumption will be the weapons and ammunition of the team.

I prepared a supply ship for each battalion, and people from each company stayed on the ship as an observation group, and by the way, they took care of the supply work. By then, they might be more motivated than me. "

Mr. Jin bowed his hands in admiration and said, "Mr. Qiao, leave me a share of the camp. It's best to tell me the location of the exhibition in Djibouti in advance, and I'll have someone design the booth in advance."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jia waved his hands and said with a smile: "No need to design, I have already arranged for people to go there. You all know Lao Zhu from the giant infrastructure construction, he is responsible for the construction of the exhibition.

We don’t do those fancy things. Every company is the same, with a Syrian style, and the defense exhibition style is as close to actual combat as possible.

If you have the ability to fully present your company in this situation, you will definitely gain a lot in the end! "

This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for practical display!

After the five eldest brothers nodded, Al Qaeda in Yemen has actually been sentenced to death. It depends on how Boss Qiao, the executioner, will proceed.

Equipment export is business to European and American company management, but it has a different meaning to leaders of large state-owned enterprises like Mr. Jin and Mr. Li.

Li Weiguo watched Mr. Jin take out a small notebook and start taking notes. He shook his head slightly, looked at Boss Qiao, and said, "Jackal, is it possible for Pterodactyl to join?"

When Qiaojia heard this, he smiled and said: "I don't lack this, the Shah only gave 8 billion, of course they have to provide other assistance.

You can drag the drone to Djibouti for exhibition, but let the Shah’s people do the actual display.

Those prince soldiers are suitable for this..."

When Li Weiguo heard this, he smiled and said: "That's true, but if you do this, the intensity of the entire war will be increased. Al Qaeda does not have such a strong system, so it may not be able to withstand it...

I'm afraid that they will collapse at the first touch and run away in advance, which will lead to an end to the end. "

After hearing this, Qiao Jia waved his hands with a smile and said: "Al Qaeda and I have a deep hatred. Knowing that I was there, they can always get sponsorship from other places.

Honestly speaking, there are many people who love me in this world, but there are also many people who hate me...

I just try to do my best, and as for Al Qaeda, I believe they will find a way..."

Li Weiguo did not hear the connotation of Boss Qiao's words, he smiled and said: "I finally understand...

In the name of great righteousness, we must mobilize powerful troops and gather the strength of all people to relieve the suffering of the people!

Jackal, awesome! awesome! "

After hearing this, Boss Qiao smiled, cupped his hands, and said, "I'm just a hard worker, and I rely on everyone to give me face..."

………………

I can't bear it anymore after taking the medicine. That's all for today...

Please bear with me!

Thanks!

grateful!
