512 Big customers come when they leave (23/100)
"They didn't make any small moves?" the rabbit asked with a sigh of disbelief. "Aren't you afraid that we will run away from the gold?"
"It's not that they don't want to make small moves, if it weren't for the fact that the cannons are ready to fire, plus the deterrent power of armored vehicles against us, maybe they did. Liao Dong said.
Xie Kai felt that they were too careful, "Unless they have other channels, they won't." ”
"There are a lot of arms dealers here. Many of them were supported by the Soviet Union and the U.S. government. The rabbit said.
"But the greed of those arms dealers is unacceptable. What's more, I can provide it in large quantities for a long time, and the price is not high...... "Xie Kai said. "More importantly, I don't need them to sell out their national interests. ”
"A conscientious arms dealer like me is hard to find all over the world. Xie Kai said with a proud face.
"Cut!" the rabbit and Liao Dong looked disdainful.
Even if they successfully got the gold, the group did not get easy.
Kabila did not follow Xie Kai back to the settlement.
"Brothers pay more attention tonight, and we will take off tomorrow morning. I will mobilize the clothing and other supplies as soon as possible. "If Kabila's men want to snatch the gold back, there is still his internal response here, and more than a dozen mercenaries and more than a hundred unarmed indigenous warriors will not be able to defend it at all.
Needless to say, Liao Dong and others also know it.
More than a dozen mercenaries personally loaded three tons of gold into the cargo hold of the Il-76, leaving two mercenaries to guard the plane, and Liao Dong commanded in the center, so he arranged for each mercenary to patrol two kilometers away with a few tribal warriors......
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Xie Kai beckoned Luo Feng and the others to get on the plane and prepare to take off.
Kabila appeared here with more than a dozen people.
"General, is there anything else?" Xie Kai looked at the people Kabila brought, these people were different from what he had seen before, especially to Xie Kai's surprise, there was a young black man with glasses next to Kabila, his eyes protruding like dead fish, which felt very scary. "I have to go back as soon as possible, prepare the fighters, if nothing else, the rifles and ammunition you need will be delivered within fifteen days. ”
"Thanks, I know. Before you go, there's something I'd like to talk to you about. Kabila nodded, "I understand your concerns, please rest assured, we really want to work together for a long time." ”
Xie Kai was not embarrassed, "General, when you first start contact, it is inevitable that you will have reservations. ”
Kabila nodded in understanding, pointing to the black man with glasses next to him and said, "This is Paul Kagame." ”
"What's that?" Xie Kai's eyes fell out.
Paul Kagame, Tutsi Patriotic Front of Rwanda. Kabila said calmly.
It's a big fish again.
This will also be the President of Rwanda in the future.
Moreover, he was president for many years after the genocide in Rwanda, and accused the French of personal involvement in the massacre in the international community.
The question is, didn't Paul Kagame join the Rwandan Patriotic Front in 1987?
Is there something wrong with history, or is the original history unreliable?
Shouldn't Paul Kagame be in the Ugandan government now? He will not come to prominence until the Tutsi armed invasion of Uganda fails in 90 and Fred Ruwigamba hangs up in the war.
"Hello, Comrade Xie Kai. Kagame held out his hand to Xie Kai a little shyly. "I'd like to talk to you about some collaboration. ”
In this situation, Xie Kai can't just leave.
The Rwandan massacre, he might have been able to stop it.
"Then who, call Brother Dong over for a while. Xie Kai said to the vigilant mercenary next to him. "We need to talk about something. ”
Xie Kai invited Kabila and Paul Kagame to the tent where the mercenaries were resting.
"I'm sorry that the conditions are poor. "There was only plain water in the tent, and there was no tea.
The two didn't mind.
"Xie Kai, Kagame is on the orders of Leader Fred Ruwigamba and wants the River Crab Mercenary Regiment to provide a large number of military advisers for the training of Tutsi warriors...... Kabila said.
Xie Kai hesitated a little, "Is it a non-Ugandan Tutsi warrior, or a Tutsi warrior in the Ugandan army?"
"Does it make a difference?" Kagame didn't know much about Shekai.
Even, he was a little skeptical that the young Chinese in front of him could meet their requirements.
"Yes, if it is a Tutsi fighter who participated in the Ugandan war, they belong to the Ugandan army, and this cooperation needs to be negotiated with us by the relevant personnel of the Ugandan government...... And if not, then it makes sense for you to talk to us. Xie Kai said. "Although mercenaries work for money, there are some jobs that we will not accept ......"
Kagame glanced at Xie Kai and fell silent.
"The planes are ready to take off, what are you still grinding about? Liao Dong entered the tent and complained.
He just wanted to send Xie Kai away quickly, so that his pressure would be much less.
"It's a bit of a hire business, and I want us to provide a large team of military advisors to help them train their soldiers...... Xie Kai explained the matter.
Liao Dong looked at Kagame, "Training is okay, we are not responsible for commanding the battle, we will not participate in your battle, in the course of the battle, our advisory group will evacuate ......"
Liao Dong made a series of demands.
"Yes, we need you to provide military training like the Chinese People's Liberation Army. It's easy to say in terms of price. Kagame recorded Liaodong's conditions one by one.
Xie Kai was a little curious, Liao Dong's English has grown a lot.
"You can just talk to him about the price. After Liao Dong finished speaking, he went out, and when he was about to reach the tent door, he turned his head and said to Xie Kai, "Hurry up yourself, the plane is waiting for you to take off." ”
"What's your attitude, it's not my business alone. Xie Kai grumbled.
The two spoke in Chinese, which neither Kabila nor Kagame understood.
"Tell me, where are our people going to provide training?" Xie Kai asked Kagame calmly.
"Within the Ugandan army," Kagame said, "we can sign a military advisory contract with the River Crab Mercenary Group through the Ugandan Ministry of Defence." ”
"If that's the case, there's no problem. Let's talk about the price!" Xie Kai smiled.
Uganda is so poor that they also want to learn *****, let the rabbit family help train the army, build Uganda PLA, and have super combat effectiveness, but they are poorer than Tanzania, and in the case of China's unwillingness to provide free military training, they are reluctant to spend money to send officers to China, so they send officers to Tanzania to study********** they have only learned the skin, what can they teach?
These goods are still eye-catching.
The River Crab Mercenary Regiment, after all, is a retired soldier, and it is crawling on the battlefield and has been trained in special operations.
The people in the country, before leaving, were also beaten in the garrison.
That kind of training, inhumane, has no exit mechanism, unless they give up their ideas and are unwilling to come out.
"What about your prices?" asked Kagame.
"It depends on how many military advisors you need. Xie Kai said with a smile.
"200 people. We need to train 4,000 people!"
Xie Kai wanted to scold his mother in his heart, and the Rwandan Tutsi fighters in the entire Uganda had to be trained.
Obviously, this will extend to the entire Ugandan army.
"No problem, the monthly employment fee is 2 million US dollars! We provide regular training for all the PLA Army, but we do not include air force operations, paratrooper operations, special operations, etc.!" Xie Kai rolled his eyes and agreed.
"Isn't that too high...... "Kagame was a little painful.
"It's not high, because it's exactly according to the training of the PLA! You saw the Tanzanian army fighting in the war to overthrow Amin's government...... Even Gaddafi's army, which was trained by the Soviets, was overturned by them...... "When it's time to brag, Xie Kai is not ambiguous at all."
The Tanzanian army is trained by China, and every year a group of officers go to China to study and learn combat command.
Of course, that was only the most conventional military training.
Even so, it has made the surrounding countries dare not move.
Uganda really wants such an army, but poor!
China's assistance to Africa is no longer as unconditional as before, tightening its belts and starving for assistance.
If you don't rely on this to make money, at least you don't have to lose money or lose too much, right?
"$1.2 million for one year. "Kagame bargained.
"It's too low! If you don't need so many people, it's okay. Xie Kai said, "The cost of recruiting excellent veterans from our country is very high. ”
At least $500 per instructor has to be paid, which is quite a high cost.
"We also need weapons. Armed with firearms, ammunition, heavy weapons, armored vehicles, etc. for 10,000 people. "Kagame has doubled.
When Xie Kai heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Buy weapons and equipment, it's easy to say.
That's what he likes.
"59 tanks, strong firepower, high defense, suitable for African terrain; Type 63 armored personnel carriers, inexpensive, cost-effective, can provide fire support; 122 mm towed howitzers, simple to operate, fierce firepower, for coordinated infantry attacks, not a problem at all......" African customers, poor.
It is necessary to sell cost-effective.
And what Xie Kai recommended, in this part of Africa, it is absolutely advanced equipment.
After all, in the armies of many countries in Africa, soldiers are issued a gun, and then some bullets are issued, and they are taught to shoot, which can be used in combat, and there is not much training at all.
"Even, we can provide the most reasonable military training according to the weapons of your army, so that your soldiers can learn to fight together...... "Xie Kai began to sell the plan again.
The program is to sell weapons.
Anyway, there are after-sales ones.
"How much does it cost?"
"The Type 59 main battle tank, the price of a brand new is 600,000 US dollars, and the second-hand price is 400,000 US dollars...... Xie Kai immediately quoted.
Sold domestically to Iraq, the brand-new Type 59-2 was sold for $500,000.
There are a lot of purchases!
