"boom!"

Baston Base.

Zhang Ziwen was wearing a suit, holding a cigar between his fingers, looking at the An-12 that was putting away its tires and gradually taking off, with a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.

An Suwen wore sunglasses and a silk scarf around his neck, and the corners of his mouth curved.

General Kaev put his hands in his pockets and stood aside and said: "The An-12 has a full fuel range of kilometers and a full load range of kilometers. It can fly from Baston to Iraq."

This is already a first-class level among military transport aircraft. There is no doubt about the industrial capabilities of the old Su family. Now, the old Su family still performs regular maintenance on most military equipment, and the quality of the hardware is guaranteed.

In fact, one of the most important reasons why Maozi sold heavy equipment in the early days was that he could not afford the huge maintenance military expenses.

The military strength that the entire Great Soviet Union could support in the past was spread among the countries after its disintegration, and most countries seemed to be unable to do so.

Zhang Ziwen made some calculations: "The air distance from Ermao's home to Congo is 8,000 kilometers, and you have to refuel at least twice in the middle. The first time can be in Libya, and the second time in Central Africa."

"Both areas are relatively chaotic and under the dictatorship of the military junta."

In areas controlled by military governments, corruption and collusion between officials and businessmen are commonplace.

Because there is no real regulatory department in society, and those in power who lack supervision have nothing to worry about.

Zhang Ziwen and Kaev came to the tower together. They watched the aircraft's beacon move upwards. They were relieved of their worries about the quality and said: "General Kaev, I need to change the aircraft's painting to civilian use, and I want to hire someone." A flight crew and a maintenance crew.”

"Haha, no problem." Kaev had already expected it, with a big smile on his face: "The flight team pays 50,000 US dollars for each flight, and the maintenance team will inspect it for you free of charge at the base. Your aircraft can be at the Baston base at any time. Take off and land.”

"It is still listed as a base. No one will check it when entering the Soviet Union. But if you want to land at other bases, remember to call me in advance."

He guessed that Zhang Ziwen was a novice in "munitions", but it didn't matter. In order to promote the products in the base, Kaev could teach him step by step.

As long as the aircraft is based in Baston, doesn't all the goods that come and go have to be shipped from the base?
The arms reserves in the entire Baston area cannot be exhausted by transporting and selling just one An-12, even if the aircraft is shipped to scrap.

If Zhang Ziwen's business is good, he will definitely purchase another aircraft or other large equipment in the future.

You must know that the load capacity of the An-12 can transport light tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.

Tie a big customer to the Baston base for mutual benefit. Both parties can work together to make progress.
Zhang Ziwen also knew that the An-12 flying out of Soviet airspace was a "black plane" for smuggling.

Taking the African route without air defense systems is not very dangerous, at least not to the extent that you will be watched all the time.

In addition, the An-12 can climb to an altitude of meters and is relatively concealable. It also has two aerial machine guns and has certain self-defense capabilities.

If you don’t believe me, you will be beaten as soon as you step out.

But at most it can be played on the route across the Mediterranean from the Soviet Union to Africa. It is unrealistic to drive to East Asia where there is an air defense system. Stopping in Baston specifically for delivery is the best option.

The military is willing to provide an experienced pilot team. Fifty thousand dollars for a flight is not expensive. It can also be inspected and refueled in Baston, which greatly extends the service life of the aircraft.

"Thank you, General Kaev. Fifty thousand dollars is a good deal for a professional pilot."

Kaev looked satisfied, patted him on the shoulder, and asked aloud: "May I ask where Mr. Zhang wants to transport the goods. If it is within the flight range, I will call the captain and the goods on the plane will be delivered directly." " Those goods are just a small gift from me."

Zhang Ziwen laughed loudly and praised: "General Kayev is really a good partner, but my goods need to be sent to Congo. Which route is more suitable?"

Kaev frowned: "Congo?"

In fact, it is more convenient to sell Ukrainian goods to the Middle East. You can go back and forth with just one refueling. Many arms dealers who come to Ukraine to purchase goods sell to the Middle East. Shipping to Africa by sea is slower, but it is cost-effective. Buy a plane to go there. When transporting goods to the Congo, it is obvious that sea transportation is not fast enough, and they are brave and have a big appetite.

But how could such a small problem stump a dignified general?

Kaev smiled and said: "For half a million dollars, I will send a plane to transport 500 engineers and soldiers to select sites in the countries I pass through, and build two temporary airports and fuel storage points for you."

"Help you open up the air route. Delivery will be possible in one month and construction will take two months. But in the future, you will need to send people to manage the airport."

Zhang Ziwen and Kaev actually have the same idea. If there is no airport, just build one. There are too many wastelands in Africa. Without the cost of buying land, the cost of building an airport is actually very low.
Especially for a transit airport where only one aircraft can be parked and refueled, it is enough to level the land, pour some cement, and install a few lights.

This is not a passenger airport. It needs a terminal and a parking lot.

Of course, if the military takes action, the effect will definitely be better. There will be a professional oil storage depot, and the labor costs and building materials will be public. The general will make half a million dollars in vain.

The only difficulty is dealing with the local indigenous people, but as long as you have arms and US dollars, selling the local indigenous people is as easy as going to the zoo to feed the monkeys.

Zhang Ziwen said cheerfully: "General, I'm looking forward to my new airport in Africa. Five hundred thousand US dollars and three million eight hundred thousand for the plane will be paid into your Swiss bank account in the evening."

Kaev said with a smile on his face: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."

"By the way, how do you want Mr. Zhang to paint your aircraft?"

Zhang Ziwen thought for a moment and said with a smile: "According to the color of civilian aircraft, it is enough to paint the fuselage with a red fist."

three days later.

The military green An-12 was painted sky blue, with a particularly conspicuous red fist on the fuselage. It was parked at the base airport, and the number 15 on the tail changed to red 1, representing an aircraft of the fist company.

An Suwen stayed with Zhang Ziwen in Baston for a month. The two took the An-12 to two transit airports in Central Africa and Sudan to inspect and supervise the work, and spent US$ in arms to cooperate with the local indigenous people.

As long as the same amount of dollars is paid in arms every year, the safety of the aircraft can be ensured.

Zhang Ziwen only spent less than half the cost of these weapons.
An Suwen witnessed the birth of a PMC company's arms business, and at the same time, the goods shipped by sea had successfully arrived in Congo.

Half of the order was delivered to Redsey first, with the promise that more arms would arrive in Congo within a month.

Redsey readily settled the case with diamonds. After Zhao Jianjun and others were freed, they returned to Hong Kong Island with the diamonds.

Zhou Minghua was responsible for settling the bill with Zheng Yutong in US dollars, while Zhang Ziwen paid An Suwen the price of the first batch of goods in advance.

As the arms business was concluded, Zhang Ziwen found that the manpower of the Field Service Department was very tight. Since there was overseas business, the Field Service Department must expand its recruitment on a large scale!
A trip to my hometown is imminent.
