From arms dealer to king of war

After Qiao Jia hung up the phone, he made a few more calls to several other familiar people.

Then he found that purchasing warships was not difficult, but the difficulty was that the price of warships was too high...

A patrol ship with a displacement of about 3,000 tons, no, this level should be said to be a frigate. The cost of building this large surface ship basically exceeds 100 million US dollars.

Calculated based on the profits of arms, if you want to buy a reasonably affordable warship, you will have to spend at least about 200 million US dollars.

The cheapest 056 foreign trade version in China actually costs US$150 million. Even the second-hand Coast Guard version that has been in service for many years costs US$80 million. This was the friendly price asked by Boss Qiao.

Now you know why only a few countries in the world have reliable navies, right?

After asking around, Qiao Jia discovered that he had read too much online information and had become too cautious. It seemed that a maritime security company could not do without warships.

In fact, as long as the word "ship" is added to it, the price will basically start at 9 or 9 figures, and it is still in US dollars. It depends on the weapon combination you need.

If the weapon system is equipped according to the size of the hull and top specifications, the price will increase by 5 to 10 times.

How many years have mercenaries developed in this world? Mercenary companies with aircraft and cannons still exist, but mercenaries with battleships absolutely do not exist, because with the size of mercenary companies, they absolutely cannot afford to buy or support the ocean. Battleship.

Eric is still reliable. He did not promote the familiar models when he came up. Instead, he selected the ships that Boss Joe was most likely to win and that best met his needs.

The tonnage of the Hamilton-class patrol boat is definitely sufficient. Although you need to modify it yourself after buying it for 40 to 50 million yuan, the cost-effectiveness is definitely the best for Boss Qiao.

It’s not just about money, it’s also about symbolism.

The United States is selling 12 retired Hamilton-class patrol boats everywhere. No big country is willing to take them, but why are the small Southeast Asian countries flocking to them?

Not only because those small countries do not have the ability to build ships, but also because there is some symbolic meaning in it, which is like paying protection fees.

Choga now wants to build a maritime security company. The Hamilton-class, which does not even have missiles, will not touch the sensitive nerves of countries along the Mediterranean Sea.

Moreover, the Princess of Monaco's ability to purchase a Hamilton-class patrol ship is itself a political bargaining chip.

The Monaco royal family is rich, but you want them to buy a tank or a fighter jet?

The exaggerated price of the battleship made Boss Qiao sober up. He understood that he should not consider the "ship", but should work hard on the "ship".

The Mediterranean Sea is only so big. One Hamilton-class patrol ship is enough when paired with two patrol ships.

Qiao Jia is a person who never looks back after making a decision. He has already decided on a big ship, so the remaining small ships are no big deal in his eyes.

The moment he hung up the phone, Qiao Jia picked up Nice and walked around, then said with a smile: "Let's talk to Charlene and see if she is willing to open a P·B branch in her own name."

Nice nodded slightly and said: "Then you go, things here are over. I will take a helicopter back to Tobruk in the afternoon. There are still many things that need to be done there."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jia touched Nice's face, and then said: "Let's put Charlene's matter aside for now. It won't be too late to discuss it with Charlene when Jami comes back. Let's go out for a walk.

I heard there are many good restaurants in Monaco and we went to eat there, just the two of us. "

Nice smiled and shook his head and said: "I don't like that kind of place, the hospital restaurant is good.

I received word that they were angry that we disrupted al Qaeda's terrorist operations.

Haftar called me and Al Qaeda in Sirte mobilized a lot of people.

Now the Tobruk city cleanup work has stopped again, and the captured terrorists have been picked up by NATO people. Now the Americans have withdrawn, and the French have transferred extrajudicial forces to Monaco. The British are not interested at all. Picture Brugge is short-staffed and I need to go back. "

Qiao Jia rubbed his cheek helplessly after hearing this. He was really at his wits end.

The current P·B stalls are too big and require manpower everywhere. There are many things that need to be handled every day.

Those things are not a little bit of business or trivial matters, but human lives!

As the boss of P.B., even the slightest slack could lead to death.

Across the world, Qiao Jia doesn’t dare to call himself a ‘big shot’, but in Afika he is! !

There are too many interests connected to him, and his enemies are also crazy. If you are not careful, you may be exploited and lead to serious consequences.

Nice is taking the initiative to help him share the responsibilities, partly because Libya is her hometown, but mostly because she loves Boss Qiao, and she feels it is her responsibility to share the pressure and responsibility for Boss Qiao.

Nice is actually not good at this at all, but she is forcing herself to adapt.

After hugging the girl hard, Qiao Jia said helplessly: "Then don't go out to eat. I'll ask the elephant to bring a good cook over, and we'll have a barbecue on the top floor of the hospital.

Damn it, can’t I have my own life? "

Nice looked at Qiao Jia's look, and she said a little embarrassedly: "I made an appointment for the helicopter at 2 p.m."

Qiao Jia put his arm around Nice's shoulders, waved his hands grandly and said, "Then let them wait, that is their honor!"

As he spoke, Qiao Jia took out the radio, connected it and said, "Elephant, no matter what you think of, bring me a cook and ingredients. I'm going to have a barbecue party on the roof."

Dorian cheered on the radio and shouted: "Boss, wait, give me an hour, I will get the best chef in Monaco, it must be an Italian chef, because Italian chefs are the best. .

FUCK, we should have celebrated long ago..."

After hearing this, Qiao Jia tuned into the public channel and said loudly: "Guys, we are having a party in the afternoon on the roof of the hospital. Come over to help. If you want to eat or drink, just tell the elephant and he will prepare it for you. of."

There was silence in the channel for a while, and then enthusiastic cheers broke out...

"Aha, boss, I love you so much..."

"Boss, can we invite nurses from the hospital? I think I am about to find my second life..."

………………

………………

Hearing all the nonsense on the channel, Qiao Jia laughed and said: "No problem, it's no problem to invite anyone you want.

If you can trick doctors and nurses into going to Central Africa, I’ll have no problem reimbursing you for the cost of a room. "

After speaking, Qiao Jia hung up the communication, kissed Nice hard on the face, and said: "Nice, no matter what happens, we must not forget life.

Our own sense of accomplishment is important, but happiness is more important. If we are too busy to be happy, then what are we doing?

As for Libya, no matter what, the sky is not falling. I have two new special operations teams in Austria. I will send them to Libya tomorrow.

Let Thompson go back, and then you will be responsible for recruiting people...

Don't always do it yourself, we are the big shots, we paid...

Let me call that ‘Gunhuo’. He is a good mercenary agent. We asked him to send messages to mercenaries all over the world...

P·B is recruiting! "
