Chapter 281 Purchase of Black Hawk
"Boss, I just drank two glasses of water, but you chewed a piece of tree bark, how come you are okay?" Sig said he couldn't understand.
"Who said I'm fine? I've gotten used to it." Zhang Ailun said unhappily.
He glanced down at little Allen, and although he wasn't as hard as iron, he was still holding his head high.
Isn’t this the daily performance level of the chief leader?
Half an hour after chewing the bark, I felt heat and itchiness on both sides of my lower back, and sweat broke out on my forehead, as if it was about to explode.
The chief took two deep breaths and suppressed his impulsive thoughts. It was indeed Lao Hei's product, so it must be a top-notch product! The chief wronged you!
Angora bark is good, you must eat it.
Then he thought of something, took out his phone and sent a message to Zorro: You better not order takeout in my villa! Go to a bar or club, or go to a motel! Not on the sofa in the living room!
Zorro: Boss, you also feel the effects? Is this thing a bit strong? My heartbeat speeds up, and my whole body feels hot. It feels like I'm on drugs. I suspect there are other ingredients in it! !
Zhang Ailun: I don’t know. This is my first time eating this stuff. It seems to be one of the raw materials used to make Viagra! It is indeed a good thing.
Zorro: I'm going to find three women!!
Zhang Ailun: Go away.
As they were talking, a few hot blonde girls came by the roadside, carrying bags and wearing high heels. They greeted the men who were trying to hold back their anger, "Hey, darlings! Are you from Los Angeles? Do you need us to be your guides?"
Zhang Ailun glanced at Sig, and he immediately walked over to say hello and chatted and laughed with the other party.
Soon the girls gave a price, "200 dollars."
"So expensive?" Sig was a little surprised.
But considering the current environment, he chose to agree, reached a deal, and took the other party to the nearest motel.
"You guys stay here and watch the car." Zhang Ailun also took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Colonel Wood, explaining that they had encountered a special situation here and the journey might need to be delayed for some time.
Colonel Wood: What's the special situation? Mr. Jin, did you encounter robbers or thieves? Lunrad Town is not far from the military area. Do you need me to send someone over to pick you up?
Zhang Ailun was at a loss to explain the situation, so he could only say euphemistically: You know me, I'm young and energetic, and there are many beautiful women here who are pretty and speak nicely. I may need to talk to them.
Colonel Wood: ...
Damn, what a beast.
Didn't you talk about this yesterday?
But I can only express my understanding of this.
Zhang Ailun got out of the car and called two tall blonde girls and booked a room in a motel.
I felt refreshed after coming out.
The occupant of the next room stared at him as if he were a monster, and said with a smile: "Hey, man, aren't you guys making too much noise? For two hours?"
"Are you a tenant here? Sorry, this is just my daily routine. I'm sorry to disturb you." Zhang Ailun smiled, noticed the watch on his wrist that was worn backwards and clasped inside, then turned around and went downstairs.
The guests looked at him with doubt in their hearts, wanting to say something but stopping themselves. There was reason to suspect that he was deliberately pretending to be cool!
Arriving at the parking lot, Zhang Allen found that Sig had been waiting there for a long time. He was a little surprised, "Why are you here so fast?"
"Boss, it's you who's too slow." Sig's mouth twitched.
"I'm really too good." Zhang Ailun sighed, got in the car, fastened his seat belt and prepared to leave. He asked again: "Did you spend $200?"
"Yeah, aren't you the same?" Sig asked doubtfully.
"I'm sorry, I don't have any money."
The leader spread his hands and was ready to give money, but after the other party learned that he was a billionaire, he refused to accept any money and only asked for the leader's contact information.
Look at what this incident has caused.
It’s free stuff again.
Sig's teeth were about to break after hearing this.
He restarted the vehicle and headed for the military base. He soon arrived at the military area, stopped the car at the gate, and was stopped and questioned by soldiers.
Zhang Allen sent a message to Colonel Wood to inform him that he had arrived.
Colonel Wood replied and asked them to wait for a while, and also notified the soldiers standing guard at the gate.
The soldier on guard received instructions from his superior and immediately opened the iron gate and let them pass.
Sig drove to the military base without any obstruction, parked the car in a nearby parking lot, and got out of the car. He saw Colonel Wood and several heads of arms companies and the Armed Nation coming over, and greeted them warmly.
"Hello, Mr. King, welcome to the Flores Military Base."
"Hello, Mr. Wood." Zhang Allen also responded with a smile. The other party introduced him to the executives of the arms companies next to him, including the head of the California region of Mayweather Company, the head of the California region of Thunderfire Company, and several other arms companies, including the head of Ammunition Nation.
"Mr. Jin, they are all VIP customers who were invited by me to visit the base and want to place orders for Black Hawk helicopters." Colonel Wood said with a smile.
"Hello." Zhang Ailun greeted several company executives and the head of the Armed Nation.
The director of Thunderfire Company also said enthusiastically: "Mr. Jin's Thunderbolt Armed Nation is also an old customer of ours. He has purchased armed escort vehicles, drones, and a Gazelle from our company. I wonder how it feels to use them?"
"Not bad. At least my people have never messed up any job due to vehicle failure. They are very satisfied with your company's products. If I need them, I will definitely place an order again." Zhang Ailun praised.
The manager of Leihuo Company was also delighted.
Colonel Wood immediately suggested going to the training ground of the military base to visit the Black Hawk helicopter. Zhang Allen readily agreed and followed the others to the training ground.
When I arrived here, I also saw the soldiers at the military base undergoing training. I don’t know if they had been told in advance, but today’s soldiers were training extra seriously. The training items and standards were almost catching up with the SEALs.
After a tour, Zhang Ailun also said with emotion: "As expected of a soldier from the Flores military district, he is more resolute and efficient than those from other military districts."
"Of course. Our military region always gets top places in the simulation training competitions in California every year. The Air Force and Army personnel who can serve here are the elite among the elites." Colonel Wood was also very satisfied with this.
After visiting the soldiers' daily training, tanks and armored vehicles, and the army's gun configuration, Colonel Wood also began to introduce the Air Force's armed forces, the equipment and configuration of the Black Hawk helicopter. This armed helicopter, which was born 700 years ago, has undergone many improvements and has evolved into many versions, but the core configuration remains basically unchanged. The Black Hawks in front of them still use two General Electric T701-GE- turboshaft engines.
The speed is 357 kilometers per hour, the practical ceiling is 5790 meters, the standard range is 2220 kilometers, and the combat radius is 592 kilometers.
The Black Hawk was initially equipped with an M60D machine gun, but later it could be equipped with a more powerful General Electric 6mm Gatling minigun. A mm machine gun can be installed on each side of the gunner's window, and the short wings can also be equipped with many advanced weapons, such as the Stinger air-to-air missile and the Hellfire anti-tank missile. The forward-looking infrared turret is also equipped with a laser target indicator.
Although it is very excellent, the crash rate of Black Hawk is also very high. Or Black Hawk Down, which has been adapted into a game.
In Hollywood movies, if a Black Hawk doesn't crash, it feels like a meaningless movie, just a background board.
Although Colonel Wood was talking to the quartermaster assistant next to him, Zhang Allen was more concerned about the two Apaches next to him and asked, "Does your military base plan to sell Apaches?"
"Mr. Jin, are you interested in the Apache? I'm sorry, our base is not yet ready to retire this model. Perhaps other military bases have this plan." Colonel Wood replied regretfully.
The domestic price of an Apache helicopter is about 1700 million US dollars. If additional weapons are required, the specific cost will vary depending on the type of weapons. For example, if it is equipped with Hellfire missiles and various top configurations, the price of an Apache is likely to reach more than million US dollars.
But the second-hand market price of a standard Apache will not be much more expensive than the Hind and Ka-52, about seven or eight million US dollars, or even lower.
Most countries and militants will choose to buy second-hand Apaches, and then find someone to do the subsequent modifications and manually add firepower configurations. After all, if it really doesn't work, you can even resist a Vulcan Gatling gun.
"That's a pity." Zhang Ailun smiled.
Colonel Wood also invited Zhang Allen and other leaders of the Armed Nation to board the plane for experience. It was also the first time for the chief to ride in a Black Hawk helicopter. As soon as he got in, he felt that this thing was much more comfortable than birds and antelopes.
The passengers' feelings are fully taken into consideration. It is not so crowded. The folding stool inside the cabin of the Gazelle is very hard and can't accommodate many people. After all, there is a small word in the prefix. At the beginning of its design, it was an armed helicopter that performed tasks in a flexible and convenient way.
The pilot started the Black Hawk helicopter and lifted it into the air. Zhang Ailun also felt the strong wind blowing in from outside the cabin door. There were two machine guns next to him, which could be pulled in at any time for air-to-ground fire coverage, but they were not equipped with ammunition belts and bullets.
The pilot flew the Black Hawk in circles over the military base for a while, performing various difficult maneuvers and adaptability, as well as tilting angles and emergency pull-ups, which also demonstrated its performance and speed. It can only be said that you get what you pay for.
After landing again at the military base, Zhang Ailun was very satisfied with the plane. At least it was much better than the gazelle and the bird.
"Mr. Wood, according to the price we agreed on before, I can buy as many Black Hawks as you want to sell." Zhang Ailun smiled and didn't talk nonsense with the other party.
Other company executives and Armed-Nation leaders need to consider pricing and subsequent repairs and maintenance, so they cannot reach a conclusion so quickly.
Colonel Wood also showed his enthusiasm and invited the chief to the VIP room for detailed discussions.
Arriving at the VIP room, Zhang Ailun asked Xige to come in with him, while the other Beggar Gang disciples stood outside guarding the door.
Colonel Wood took out a bottle of red wine from the collection, poured two glasses, handed them to Zhang Allen, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jin, we can sell you at least two Black Hawk helicopters, but this was our previous idea. Now I can guarantee that I can sell you at least four Black Hawk helicopters!"
"Are there any other companies that offer higher bids than mine?" Zhang Ailun asked.
"No, we do this just to avoid any trouble for our customers. If we sell too many weapons to the same company, it will probably attract special attention. Although these are just a few retired aircraft that have been stamped and concluded, you should understand that there are always people who want to make trouble for themselves and come to me to talk about rules and regulations."
Colonel Wood explained, and was very dissatisfied with this: "What you may not know is that yesterday after you left, CIA agents broke into Mr. Madison's private island without any regulations and permission, and arrested the shareholders of Blue Pharmaceutical Company who were vacationing there. Even Mr. Madison was investigated and accused of harboring criminals. He is now probably being temporarily detained by the relevant department in Los Angeles and invited to have tea. But don't worry too much, Mr. Madison knows a lot of people and will easily settle this matter."
"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Ailun pretended to be surprised, "Why would they do this?"
"It's because they are not allowed to take advantage and not enough profit is distributed to them. They are doing it themselves and don't let others do it just because they are not getting enough." Colonel Wood sneered.
If you are really just a young man with a lot of enthusiasm, you won't be able to climb up and squeeze into this circle.
The reason why troubles arise is because the internal struggle failed and someone caught him. He was even simply used as a chicken to scare the monkeys.
You can do whatever you want, sell illegal drugs, or even run a dirty business of drug or human trafficking, but you can't expose it to the public.
Where do you put their face?
Also, do you pay taxes?
Sig also sighed and was deeply touched by this.
"I may have been targeted by them because of this incident, but I don't know what they will do to me yet." Colonel Wood said, "However, without sufficient evidence, they can't do anything to me. If they want to accuse me of something, they have to get through my superiors. They don't have the power to target the forces behind me."
"Speaking of this, when I was in the small town before, I noticed an unusual tenant. His watch was an inward-facing watch, and he looked a bit like a CIA agent." Zhang Ailun pondered.
Colonel Wood was immediately shocked. "Is there such a thing?"
His face immediately darkened, he took out his cell phone and contacted someone, but soon he received a message and his expression eased.
"Those guys probably just want to collect evidence of my illegal arms sales. It's no big deal. I will handle it. I promise that everything I do is legal and will not leave any traces."
He took out the contract again and signed his name. "Similarly, Mr. Jin, you only need to sign the arms contract to complete the deal. I promise there won't be any trouble."
Zhang Ailun took a look at the contents of the contract and found that it was a formal official arms document, with the selling price of each retired Black Hawk aircraft marked blank.
But he bought four Black Hawks at a price of $260 million each, for a total of $1040 million.
There was no problem. I immediately filled in the delivery address and signed the contract in a hangar in the suburbs.
"This is our receiving account. You need to deposit four amounts into these accounts." Colonel Wood provided several bank accounts.
Zhang Ailun checked and found three private accounts and one official account. He immediately transferred the money in the name of the foundation and temporarily paid a 30% deposit.
Colonel Wood received the reminder of the remittance, smiled and raised his glass, "Mr. Jin, it's a pleasure to work with you. We will be able to transport the Black Hawk helicopter to the designated location soon."
"Ok, happy cooperation." Zhang Ailun also smiled and raised his glass to drink.
