From Arms Dealer To King of War

  Chapter 242 Explosion by mistake!

   There are a total of 40 trucks in the convoy for transporting arms, and there are 4 soldiers in each truck.

  Joga and the others led a large-scale detour with 100 soldiers, and established 5 loose encirclement points along the way.

   There are ten people at each point, and their mission is very simple, that is, to obey Antal's command. When she finds traces of terrorists, the soldiers on these encirclement points stop them with machine guns.

  Antal will decide whether to call artillery support according to the situation!

  The first wave of air strikes had basically disabled the terrorists' mobile forces, and the subsequent shelling caused heavy casualties to terrorists who had almost never experienced such a scene.

  These people still have a bit of military literacy. After the first wave of shelling, they knew that when they heard the roar of shells again, they had to lie down like the people in the movie.

   As a result, they were lying down, and they found that the situation was wrong.

  Those shells will not hit the ground at all, but will detonate at a height of about 20 meters, and within the range of shrapnel, unless Lady Luck is standing by your side, no one will survive the explosion range.

  Airburst bombs equipped with proximity fuzes have little effect on solid bunkers and buildings, but they are definitely a big killer against crowds in open spaces.

  Choga, using the sightlines provided by Antares drones, saw a shell land on a pair of teams of about 30 people.

   There is no gorgeous fire like in the movie, just a flicker of fire, and then a large cloud of gray-black gunpowder smoke appeared in the sky.

After the gunpowder smoke dissipated, there were no living people on the ground. The 30 members of the team fell to the ground with many holes in their bodies. Pieces.

   Really too ruthless!

  Fifty rounds of bombardment, 300 rounds of shells fell, basically no omissions, you must know that the opponent has a total of six to seven hundred people...

  The large army of terrorists has been completely disabled, and the remaining dozens of lucky stragglers began to flee in all directions under the afterglow of the setting sun, and soon crashed into the encirclement, and then were wiped out one by one.

  On the artillery position at the airport, the black lieutenant colonel had red eyes as if he had taken too much drugs. He looked at the picture on the screen with red eyes, trembling with excitement.

  When the "artillery" announced that the shelling was over, the lieutenant colonel grabbed his arm and shouted: "Why, small town, there are terrorists in this small town, the attack just now worked very well, bomb them, bomb them..."

  'Cannon' tapped his radio headset, spread his hands to the lieutenant colonel and said: "The boss ordered the shelling to stop, I guess the boss's wallet can't take it anymore.

   You really don't think about buying them? You use defense funds, not the same as our boss. "

  The lieutenant colonel saw the correct use of howitzers for the first time, and he said excitedly: "We want it, we want it, and we will fight two more rounds. Look, there are still a few deserters here..."

'Cannon' glanced at the screen and saw a few unlucky terrorists running frantically in the desert, he shook his head and said: "They are about to crash into the encirclement created by your soldiers, don't waste shells, our boss will crazy.

   But if you can convince your boss to send money, then I don't care how you want to use it. "

  The lieutenant colonel quickly calculated the previous quotation of the 'artillery'...

  One million howitzers, a total of 6 million, 5,000 rounds of shells, 300 rounds left, a total of only 7.5 million US dollars.

  The 300 shells just now eliminated at least 500 terrorists, but there were no casualties on our side.

  This kind of record does not exist in Niger's war history!

  In the past, the munitions they bought for 10 million yuan could be used for a long time, but even if the money is used up, they will not be able to eliminate so many terrorists, and many soldiers will be sacrificed in the tug-of-war, and more civilians will suffer.

  Compared to spending a lot of money on RPGs, machine guns, and bullets, the lieutenant colonel thinks it’s worth buying cannons!

Seeing the 'cannon', it seemed that he wanted to tell the artillerymen to put away one or two howitzers. The lieutenant colonel was anxious and shouted loudly: "Yes, we want it, I will call our minister right away, don't move, I want it, I want it..."

  ...

  Joga sat on the Polaris off-road vehicle, enduring the bumps while listening to the 'bad news' from Sanderson.

   It wasn't until the 'Cannon' sent him a message that he felt a little better.

  Six howitzers plus 300 rounds of air-burst ammunition in old stock were sold for a total of 7.5 million US dollars, and the profits were basically hedged by P·B’s war funds invested in Niger this time.

   But thinking about the situation in the small town, his mood turned bad again...

  In that small town, there are not only local civilians, but also students kidnapped by terrorists and an American camera crew.

   Now not only the U.S. troops stationed in Niger are involved, but even the Foreign Legion is also involved.

  Not long after the large-scale bombardment started, two French Rafale fighter jets took off, forcing the Cobra and Archerfish to land at the airport, waiting for the next order.

  Lionel hinted many times that Choga could bomb the town, and then pretended to be deaf and dumb for more than an hour. In the end, he still failed to withstand the pressure from the two superpowers.

  Use official communication to inform Choja not to bombard the town, and try to rescue the hostages in the town with all your strength.

  Of course Choga would not obey Lionel's orders, he would not bombard the town, because the air-burst bombs had no effect on the enemies hidden in the house, and things that wasted money could not be done.

  Bombing is even more impossible. P·B has an excellent reputation now because they are doing things around Central Africa that the local government forces have not done.

  Once the bombing causes accidental injury and is caught by the two superpowers, P·B's actions here in West Africa will be severely restricted in the future.

   What's worse is that there's a **** camera crew in the town...

  The European and American media have a very special situation, that is, they are somewhat similar to the police. Once any reporter or media worker dies abnormally, they will attack the suspects.

  No matter what the result is, this group of media has indeed implemented the rule of "If I don't speak out today, if I encounter problems tomorrow, no one will speak up for me".

   These media reporters are very difficult to deal with, and Qiao Jia feels that he can't afford to provoke them!

  Before I knew the news, I was killed if I was blown up. The worst thing was to apologize and say 'I'm sorry'.

   If you know about it and still blow it up, it will cut off the path of P·B's future development.

  Military contracting companies are regarded as wild dogs of war in the eyes of most media, and they have no psychological barriers at all when attacking.

  This is the difficulty of the path Qiaojia chose, but nothing in this world is perfect. If you want to gain something, you will inevitably lose something.

  If he wants to obtain legal support, Choja himself cannot take the initiative to break it.

Compared with an arms dealer like Aaron, Choga earns a little less and is a little less free, but in terms of influence, security, and most importantly, being upright and confident, Choga is more than one level higher up.

   This thing has gains and losses. If you want to maintain the situation, you have to act according to the rules of the game.

  By the time Joga arrived at the outskirts of the town, it was already completely dark.

  The only round of shelling before that not only caused a bloodbath in the open space in the middle of the town, but also cut off the town's power supply.

  The town Qiaojia saw in the drone lens was not too big, but when he got close, he found that it was an Arabian-style town.

  The buildings in the small town are all masonry structures, which are very solid, and there are cars parked in the yards of many people. It seems that the people here are quite wealthy.

  The main passage inside the town is a four-lane main road running from east to west. The north side should be where relatively wealthy people live. Their houses are generally better built, and the internal road planning is relatively neat.

  The south side is not so good. A large number of messy houses are crowded together, and various built-up simple houses occupy the road, making the road condition in the south like a maze.

   And the terrorists just happen to be hiding in there!

  Antal’s drones have thermal sensing mode. According to the movement trajectories of people in the town, Choga quickly figured out part of the situation.

   Unfortunately, Antal did not discover the location of the students who were taken as hostages, and the thermal sensing system of the small drone did not have much to do with the targets hidden in the building.

  The town controlled by the terrorists is not as people imagined, the terrorists killed everyone or imprisoned them.

  The so-called 'control' means that the terrorists have mastered the passage of the small town, and then they can demand whatever they want from the residents of the small town, while trying to develop more of the same kind.

  The lives of people in the small town have basically come to a standstill, and they can only shrink back at home and pray for their luck to be better.

  It is very difficult to escape. When the attitude of the terrorists has not been understood, the family and their mouths tried to escape and were caught, so the consequences needless to say.

  The people of Boko Haram have not controlled this place for a long time, which gave Choja a little chance not only to try to rescue the student hostages, but also to find out a group of white mercenaries hiding inside.

   They must have something to do with the Ndrangheta, Choja needs to ask them some questions.

   But before that, Choga needs to deal with the rangers of the US military, as well as the extralegal legion who doesn't know where.

   Just when Qiaojia signaled Antal to take back the drone, she suddenly pointed to the north and said, "Boss, someone is approaching, it should be Sanderson and the others..."

  Choga waved his hand to signal everyone to get out of the car, put the SVD on the Polaris engine, pressed the communicator, and said, "Call, 'Pioneer', where are you?"

   Soon Sanderson replied: "Boss, we are approaching you from the north. A team of Rangers is with us. Don't get me wrong."

  When Qiaojia heard this, he said angrily, "How did you find us?"

As soon as Qiaojia's voice fell, the "Iceman" of Team E said in a cold tone on the radio: "Boss, we have U.S. and French drones on our heads. I just talked to an extrajudicial sniper." Touched, almost opened fire, Horns tried to catch him but failed, there was a French Special Forces team nearby."

  Jojia pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache, and then said, "Don't hide it if it's all exposed. Team E is also moving closer to me. Damn, what's wrong with this?"

   Sanderson probably felt a little guilty, so he said consolingly: "Boss, in our business in Afika, it will be a matter of time before we meet with the US and French troops...

  This time the opportunity is good, at least the advantage is on our side. "
