Starting as an arms dealer, I am the overlord in South America

If we take over the city of Cartagena, we can do a lot of things.

For example, fighter planes.

They were useless before because they didn't have their own airport. Now it's different. Cartagena has a small civilian airport, which can be temporarily controlled as a military airport.

The premise is that there is such a demand.

"Let's go and have a look in the city."

Now that this coastal city has been taken, as the future owner, Luis naturally has to go into the city to have a look. He takes Elron, Moros and other personal guards with the soldiers of the 3rd Regiment into the city.

As for the 4th Regiment, they will go to take Turbaco, a small city with only tens of thousands of people, which is not far away, less than 5 kilometers.

The 5th Regiment will go to the port of Mamonar, which is the cargo port of Cartagena. At the same time, it is also expanding. The Colombian government plans to build an oil depot and refinery here. By garrisoning here, the safety of the city center behind can be ensured.

Cartagena, Luis has come to it countless times, but this time his mentality is different. He was just a passer-by before, but this time he came as the owner.

Early in the morning.

The city center has���Many people are out and about, and many small shops along the street have started to operate, but compared with the past, it is obviously much quieter.

"Hey, Robin, did you hear any gunshots last night?"

Robin looked at his friend in surprise:"You heard it too?"

"Of course I heard it, the intense gunfire"

"I thought it was my illusion. Did something happen? Otherwise, where did the gunshot come from?"

"It should be. I listened carefully last night and the main direction of the gunfire was from the military camp."

"Military camp?"

"Could it be that some militants broke in?"

"Are you kidding me? This is Cartagena. Those militants are in the south. How could they possibly fight here? Besides, if they want to fight, they should fight in Bogota. How could they possibly fight here?"

"Yeah"

"Hey, look, that's..."

At this moment, the two were shocked to see the sudden sound of dense footsteps on the street.

A group of soldiers in camouflage uniforms, lined up in four rows, marched in an orderly manner.

"My goodness, this...Who are these people? They don't look like government soldiers. You can see they are dressed differently from government soldiers."

"Robin, you...You said, in the gunfight last night, was it this group of people fighting with the government forces?"

"hiss!"

"I won't say any more. I have to go back quickly."

When pedestrians saw the soldiers of the 3rd Regiment entering the city, they hid in fear. Even some shops that were open for business were closed one after another, fearing that they would be harmed by the war.

After all, the TV station had reported that the Colombian People's Army had once occupied a small town in the south, smashing and looting. Many people still remember it. Even further back, during the Colombian Civil War, more than 100,000 people died. The older generation still remembers it.

Luis, who was sitting in a Toyota Land Cruiser, frowned slightly when he saw this scene, but then he seemed to think of something and his brows relaxed again. It was human nature. He would do the same if he were in their place.

"Let's go directly to the airport.

He didn't go to the government building first.

"Yes!"

10 Toyota Land Cruisers left the team and drove directly towards the airport.

When they arrived at the airport, Louis saw many people squatting outside the airport, dragging suitcases in their hands, as if they were fleeing by plane.

However, after being warned by the National Army soldiers, they immediately became much more honest.

Seeing the convoy coming, they quickly opened the iron gate.

"Boss!"

After driving into the internal parking area, the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment ran over after receiving the news.

"Has the airport been cleared?"

"Boss, it has been cleared. All airport staff have been detained. Flights have been stopped. The airport has been closed as per your instructions."

"Well, go ahead, I'll find you if I need anything."Louis waved his hand

"Yes!"

The battalion commander saluted and then turned to leave.

Louis went directly to the hangar maintenance area. There was nothing there except scattered mechanical equipment.

As for the airport, there was no plane.

Needless to say, they must have flown away after hearing the news.

He didn't care.

It was better to fly away, and it would make room for him.

After instructing Elro and others to be on guard nearby, Louis opened the system mall.

【[Name]: AMPV multi-purpose armored vehicle

【Introduction: Developed by Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) and Rheinmetall, the vehicle is 5.66 meters long, 2.3 meters wide, and 2.18 meters high. It is made of armored steel plates, with a reinforced chassis and body, and has strong protection capabilities. It can carry five members.

It uses a 3.2L 6-cylinder diesel engine, with a maximum speed of 110 kilometers per hour and a full-load mileage of 700 kilometers. It can be equipped with a 7.62 mm machine gun and a smoke protection device.

【[Price]: 50,000 US dollars.

50,000 US dollars for a wheeled light tactical vehicle is quite expensive. It is 3,000 US dollars more expensive than the Hummer sold by the system. However, this vehicle has strong protection capabilities and has a smoke device. Once in danger, the smoke device can be released to hide itself and reduce the possibility of being hit.

He plans to purchase a batch of equipment for the National Army.

Select it and directly choose to buy it, and enter the quantity of 200 vehicles.

In an instant, 10 million US dollars were deducted from the account.

The tactical vehicle is available, but the troop carrier is still missing.

In a war, you can't let people march long distances on their own, so a troop carrier is needed.

【name】："Boxer armored personnel carrier

【Introduction: The vehicle weighs 33 tons, is 7.88 meters long and 2.99 meters wide, has an 8-cylinder diesel engine, a maximum speed of 103 kilometers per hour, can travel 1,000 kilometers, has a crew of 11, and is equipped with a 12.7mm machine gun (or a 20-30mm caliber cannon)

【Price: 58,800 US dollars.

He chose the German troop carrier. German military products are well-known for their quality. Besides, it is equipped with an automatic transmission. Its horsepower, off-road capability, firepower, and armor are all good.

And according to the system introduction, this vehicle has 14 cubic meters of space and is extremely comfortable. It is much better than the BTR-82A of the Russian Bear. As for troop carriers, the point is to transport troops, not tanks.

Louis bought 500 vehicles at one time, spending 29.4 million US dollars.

In addition to tactical vehicles and troop carriers, there must also be transport vehicles, so that weapons can be loaded and unloaded.���, bullets and other things need to be transported, otherwise how can we fight a war? It is best to be able to take into account the transportation of troops.

After careful screening, he finally chose the Iveco M250. The advantage of this car is that it is multi-purpose. It can be used to transport weapons and ammunition, as a troop carrier, a towing vehicle, and can tow artillery.

And it has strong performance, can wade 1.2 meters, and can operate normally even at minus 32 degrees. It has 450 horsepower and can carry 25 tons of cargo. The cabin armor protection capability is extremely strong, which can effectively protect against damage caused by mines and artillery shrapnel.

The price is also cheap, only 27,000 US dollars, less than 30,000 US dollars, which is very suitable for the current National Army.

Louis purchased 500 vehicles and spent 13.5 million US dollars.

With these three vehicles, it is considered to be a preliminary change in the National Army's two-legged march and achieve mechanization.

However, it must be equipped with tanks, armed helicopters, self-propelled rocket launchers and other equipment to be considered a modern armored army.
