From Arms Dealer To King of War

  Chapter 45 Sale

  Joga fell in love with a white Agusta AW109 at a glance.

   This is an old-fashioned medical rescue helicopter that is more than 30 years old. It is equipped with medical equipment and many electronic instruments that cannot be understood.

However, it is obvious that those things are not usable. According to the parameters given by the detection system of the universal toolbox, this aircraft is an old gadget that was manufactured in the 1980s. It has undergone two overhauls. The propeller blades are new, but the engine The efficiency is only 70% of the original, and there are some problems with the operation of the avionics system.

  However, although there are many problems, the advantages are also obvious, that is, it is cheap!

   Now the brand-new Agusta AW109, you are not even qualified to ask the price without 7 million US dollars, but now this AW109 only costs 200,000 US dollars.

  An extra $20,000 will be added by the technical officer of Army Aviation, and you will be given a major maintenance and a set of brand new exterior paint to ensure that if you don’t open the hatch, the exterior will look like new.

  Of course, at this point, Qiaojia is very sure that they are slaughtering people, because if they don't get the plane ready, it is estimated that they may crash even if they fly out to deliver the goods.

The military's deal is 'horizontal', so it's quick and never procrastinating. When it was discovered that Choga was interested in Agusta, the person in charge of the hangar immediately asked someone to drag this guy's plane out, and let Choga feel the full range of it when it started. a bit.

  Joga just sat in the cab and experienced it, and felt that this thing was worth it.

  Although the sound of the engine is a bit loud and the vibration is severe, the structure of the fuselage is complete and there is no hard damage, especially the propeller blades are still 80% new. In the outside market, it costs more than 200,000 to buy a set of propellers.

Helicopters are only valuable because they are in demand. This AW109 will not be bought by rich people, and it cannot be used by those without money. 'Demand' determines its price, but for Joga, 200,000 is definitely a Spit blood big sale.

  But he was only willing to buy it if Choga had the universal toolbox. If he hadn’t met Choga, the plane would have gone into the garbage dump in a few years.

  One is eager to deal with, the other is really want to buy, the two hit it off.

Qiaojia paid a deposit of 100,000 US dollars on the spot, and then dragged the boss and technical officer of the hangar, expressing that he was willing to add 50,000 US dollars, but asked to participate in the maintenance of this AW-109, and they had to follow their own rules. Paint the aircraft according to the requirements of the aircraft, and ensure that there is no problem with the avionics system.

   It is rare for the chief officer of the hangar to encounter a "taken advantage" who is willing to spend money on bad goods, so of course he must be careful.

  The chief officer in charge of handling the inventory nodded and agreed to Qiaojia's request to replace the avionics system, but there was an additional condition, that is, to pay another 250,000 to buy a Gazelle, making up a total of 500,000.

  This 'little antelope' is not a little antelope running on the grassland, but an armed helicopter.

  Looking at the hangar chief officer with a big beard, he winked and said that the weapon rack and fire control system could be kept. Qiaojia spread his hands in disbelief and said, "Isn't this **** illegal?"

  According to the head of the hangar, it is really not illegal, at least in Egypt.

  The weapon pylon itself is not illegal, it is only illegal if you hang the weapon and fly it around.

   At this time, when Qiaojia was looking at the hangar, he suddenly discovered that the Gaddafi arsenal that made him frightened was actually nothing more than that.

  There are dozens of old helicopters in the hangar of this army aviation base, among which there are a dozen of small antelopes.

Logically speaking, the Gazelle is a cheap and affordable aircraft. Unfortunately, with the rise of drones, this kind of small helicopter gradually lost its market. On the contrary, heavy attack helicopters such as Mi-28 and Ka-52 are very popular. .

  Choga really likes and needs light helicopters like the Gazelle. The only downside is that, as a travel company with only three people, there are two helicopters, which seems a bit outrageous.

   But you don’t have to take advantage of the bastard, I even left the electronic system and fire control system for you, so why hesitate for 250,000 yuan? Take it!

  Seeing that as he showed his purchasing power, many people in the base gathered around and began to recommend the models in the hangar...

  Although it is only an army aviation logistics base, it is also a military base.

   Qiaojia was taken aback by the enthusiasm of the ground crew of the Army Aviation, he squeezed out of the crowd with a dry smile and ran into his office with the chief officer.

  Joga looked at the middle-aged man with a bushy mustache in front of him, and said with some doubts in his heart: "Mr. Dill, is there really no problem for us to do this?"

  Dill touched his mustache, smiled and shook his head and said, "What's the problem? You are from Huaguo, and you are the best customer!"

  We will provide a complete sale and purchase contract, you are helping us to deal with the inventory machines, you are our friend of Egypt Army Airline. "

  Joga looked at Dill, who seemed to be taking it for granted. He spread his hands and said, "I'm talking about the SD side. These helicopters, well, Agusta must be fine, but can the small antelope really pass the customs?"

  Dil frowned and said: "What are you talking about? You are from Huaguo, how could SD people make things difficult for you?

   It’s just buying a helicopter. If you are worried, we can directly contact the airport in Khamu, and we can send the plane to your home with only two transfers.

   But you're going to add an extra $20,000 to that because the fuel and the driver cost money. "

  Joga agreed almost without hesitation, and signed a seemingly formal purchase agreement.

  Then from the second day on, Qiaojia came to the logistics base to check in every day, and personally borrowed the base's equipment to inspect and maintain the two helicopters.

  The universal toolbox is indeed a mechanic's artifact. You don't even need to deliberately replace parts, just adjust according to the detector's instructions, and you can prepare Agusta and the small antelope to the best state that can be achieved so far.

  If you want to make them better, you need to find a way to replace the more worn parts after Qiao Jia goes back.

  Compared to the just-needed supplies of travel companies like 'Agusta', Choga likes the little antelope too much.

  Lightweight, compact, excellent adaptability, battery life is a little short, but the maximum range of 800 kilometers can basically meet the needs of Qiao Jia.

   In this way, the three of them were paid by the company to stay in Egypt for four full months, and finally returned to Damazin full of vision for the future.

   What Qiaojia didn't expect was that Damazin had changed a lot after he left for four months.

  This prairie town was powered on. After asking, I found out that the Roceres Dam built with the help of Huaguo started to generate electricity. As a brother town on the bank of the Blue Nile, Damazin was naturally the first to benefit.
