From Arms Dealer To King of War

  Chapter 51 First flight

  Choga was not joking, since Ayou told her situation yesterday, he had this idea.

  A regular company, a serious business, it doesn’t matter what the future holds. First of all, you can make your own funds have a reasonable place.

  Travel companies, aircraft leasing companies, and hunting guide companies are registered separately. Although Qiaojia doesn't understand it very well, there is a lot of room for financial operations.

  SD banks are not very reliable, but there are many Huaguo banks in SD. As a Chinese, I have created such a big business here, it should be normal to make some money, right?

  Of course, these are only limited to minor troubles, but for Choga, these are enough for the time being.

   Explained his thoughts to Sailimu again. Although this guy looked at him like he was looking at a fool again, Qiao Jia didn't mind at all, and he was always in a good mood, making everyone want to laugh.

  The next afternoon, two helicopters landed on the runway of the airport according to the coordinates provided by Choga.

   After carefully checking the condition of the plane, Qiaojia paid the two pilots and arranged for Sailimu to drive them to Kham and let them take the plane back to Egypt.

   Then he filled up the oil for the little antelope himself, pulled Kaman and Nice, and flew towards Darfur in the dark.

The little antelope can only fly a maximum of 800 kilometers with a full tank of fuel. Qiaojia carefully controlled the plane and made a transition to refuel at a small airport outside a city called Obaid. The whole journey took 8 hours of flying. When the sky was bright, it flew over the valley where the arsenal was located.

   This flight was meant to be a little trial. Choja himself is an excellent mechanic and can monitor the condition of the little antelope at any time.

   But as a novice, he needs to figure out how the plane works in SD.

  The result surprised him that there is no so-called air traffic control here at all. As long as you are not circling over Khamu, no one will care about you when you go to other cities.

  When you want to stop at the airport, turn on the radio and shout, and someone will guide you to land somewhere in the airport, and then charge a lot of parking fees.

   On the contrary, refueling is really not too expensive. Anyway, Qiao Jia calculated that the price of aviation fuel here is not as high as that of domestic No. 95 gasoline.

   It costs more than one liter of gas, and it’s actually cheaper to drive a helicopter than to drive in China. Can you believe it?

  Joga has always thought that the helicopter is a tall thing. Although he has experienced various bizarre operations in Egypt, he still feels a little magical when he comes to SD.

   Too casual, too easy!

  According to the airport ground staff, if you are not picky, you can find a remote place to stop, call him, and he can drive to the door to refuel.

  Of course, this price will be much cheaper than stopping at the airport, and the aviation fuel is definitely not his.

  Snakes have snakes and rats have rats. It’s really not nonsense. If you don’t practice it, you don’t know that this world is more bizarre than you imagined.

  Joga drove the little antelope, and slowly landed in the arms valley under the reflection of the rising sun.

   It’s been half a year since I left here, except that there is more dust on the tanks and armored vehicles parked in the open air, there are no other changes.

  Kaman opened the door of the hangar, and Qiao Jia went in to find a hydraulic trolley specially used to tow the helicopter, and dragged the little antelope in.

Then he looked at the idle Mi-8 transport planes, rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "We need a Mi-8, Kaman, you and Nice will be responsible for preparing the arms, and I will be responsible for making this big guy run stand up.

  Those Nuer want a lot of goods, we may need to make three trips.”

  Nice said curiously after hearing this: "I can also fly a helicopter. You can prepare two of them."

  Joga nodded and said: "I thought so too at first, but if two Mi-8s are flying in SD territory, I think it's a bit too eye-catching.

  First use one plane for a test flight. If the route is safer, we will use two planes to transport the rest of the goods on the next trip. "

   While talking, Qiaojia looked around the hangar, and said with a little emotion: "It would be great if these helicopters can be sold, it is too close to Liberia, and it is still risky to play with them here.

   If only I could find a transition route to Syria, this thing will definitely find a buyer there. "

Nice looked at Qiaojia's appearance, she hesitated, and said: "I suggest you don't worry too much, those who can afford and use the helicopter basically don't need to buy it from you, and if you can't afford it, you can sell it anyway. Useless."

  When Qiaojia heard it, he thought it was true. Armed helicopters are really not something that some small countries can afford.

   It’s not that they can’t afford it, but it’s too expensive to maintain and support the munitions. It’s already a high-end equipment for them to get some transport planes and mount machine guns in the cabin.

The matter of selling helicopters can be put aside first. Qiaojia used the detector to find out the Mi-8 in the best condition. The gas truck filled him up.

  The fuel tank of the aircraft itself, plus two external fuel tanks, can add 3,100 liters of varnish, and it can fly about 1,100 kilometers when fully loaded.

   While Kaman and Niss were sorting out their weapons, Choga tried it out in the open space in the valley, and found that the Mi-8 helicopter's handling was not bad.

   This kind of aircraft is known as the AK47 among helicopters. It is really simple and practical.

  The exact model Qiaojia drives should be the Mi-8T military transport type.

  Remove the 24 seats on the rear seat, and you can get a cargo space with a length of 7 meters and a width of 2.4 meters.

If the whole plane is viewed from the side, it actually looks like a giant dragonfly attached to the roof of a bus. Compared with the domineering Mi-28, the Mi-8 is really like its code name, just like a simple and honest man. The 'Hippo'.

   But the 'Hippo' is also very scary when angry. If Qiaojia thinks it is necessary, he can choose several other armed models with weapon hangers.

  Just like the B-8 rocket pod he used earlier, this big guy can carry four at a time, the abdomen and the remaining two hardpoints, as well as anti-tank missiles and more powerful aerial bombs.

  It's a pity that Qiaojia really didn't dare to be too ostentatious. He already felt that a machine gun and a grenade launcher on the machine gun racks in the hatches on both sides were enough.

   Tried for several hours, Choga landed the plane in an open space with satisfaction, refilled it with fuel, and then found a quiet place in the arsenal to rest for the night.

  The next day began loading arms on the plane!
