He personally controlled a small consortium that had grown into hundreds of millions of dollars in assets, and although it was inconspicuous among many powerful international conglomerates, it was a behemoth in northern Afghanistan.

Sally is also full of confidence in her heart, and even sure that she will unify Afghanistan and bring happiness and stability to all Afghan civilians.

In order to find a paradise to survive in the troubled times, the Dragoon Consortium in order to protect itself, Sally can be said to have spared no effort to enhance the strength of Gem Valley.

Although the Dragoon military base stationed in the valley has the same signboard as the Dragoon Foundation, as allies, their authority is only responsible for providing some weapons and military training, and even the security defense work is limited to the area of Gem Valley, even if Sally pays a big price, it is difficult to persuade the Chinese to send troops.

Once the Chinese garrison of the Dragoon military base is launched, it is obvious that it will break the military and political balance in Afghanistan and neighboring countries, and even now, almost no force in the outside world knows that the Chinese have successfully achieved the stationing of troops in the Afghan department, which is not unrelated to the unreserved trust and support of the local people in Gem Valley, and the signboard of the Dragoon consortium also plays a good role as a cover.

Once the outside world knows that the Chinese sent troops to Afghanistan, it is definitely not a small matter.

Therefore, the premature exposure will trigger a series of serious consequences, which China is not willing to see.

The Chinese principle is to quietly enter the village and do not shoot anyone.

It is only at critical moments, when sufficient benefits can be obtained that outweigh the adverse effects, that the role of this military base will be fully highlighted by the Chinese side.

Chinese have only provided limited help, and in fact since the white-eyed wolf incidents in North Korea, Albania and Vietnam, China's aid and support to foreign countries have been quite limited, and it has not spared as much as before.

Towering trees can't be raised in the greenhouse, and most of the time they can only rely on themselves, and Sally is also very aware of this, so the development of the Dragoon Consortium largely relies on their own solid step by step, and everyone has paid a lot of sweat and blood, even their lives, but a strong consortium is a reliable home for everyone, and they have no regrets about it.

Due to the rise of the Dragoon consortium in the mountains of northern Afghanistan, which has attracted the attention and actions of many greedy fellows and organizations who are not good at running and developing, and only plunder and destroy, causing long-term poverty and chaos in Afghanistan, this time, they are eyeing the Gem Valley located in the Hindu Kush Mountains.

According to the latest information received by the Dragoon consortium, the proxies of the international powers will not allow the emergence of a new powerful progressive group in Afghanistan that can reunite the country, and a new round of armed attacks against the DRAGOON consortium is about to start, and the scale is likely to reach nearly 10,000 people.

For these agents and the organizations behind them, a chaotic, divided Afghanistan can reap the illegitimate benefits of their chaotic order.

In order to protect herself and have enough armed forces, Sally can get a large number of advanced weapons from the Chinese side, but she can't get fighter jets.

As an open power organization, the dragoon consortium is too eye-catching for fighters of unknown origin, and it is easy to expose the existence of the Chinese side.

As a result, the Dragoon consortium can only raise a large sum of money to build up its own air armament through public purchases.

Sally personally led the team to Paris, France, hoping to use this aerospace exhibition to purchase a batch of fighter jets for Gem Valley, protect and safeguard the interests of the Dragoon consortium, and make up for the current lack of military strength.

Afghanistan has been a land of a hundred battles since ancient times, the Soviets, the Germans, and the Americans, although backward and poor, it will not affect the vision of the Afghans at all, they know what kind of weapons are the best and most suitable for them.

Before coming to France, Sally and her men did their homework, researched the prices and performance of fighter jets in various countries, and made a list of fighter models suitable for Gem Valley.

With an air force, the Dragoon consortium can effectively deter those who have infiltrated northern Afghanistan, relatively reduce some unnecessary riots, and use its strength to warn those who are ready to move that they are not so easy to mess with.

Sally led people to linger on the periphery of the National Defense Star exhibition area for a moment, but she didn't realize that her figure fell into the eyes of the man she cared about in this short moment.

Sally and Lin Mo passed by again.

Destiny is a wavy line, and no one knows if it will cross another wavy line, or it will never be touched.

Sometimes, fate is so wonderful.

"Abic, we don't need to look at jet fighters anymore, its maintenance costs are too high, and if the seller restricts the sale of our spare parts, it is very likely to affect our combat capability."

Whenever she has free time, Sally spends a lot of time studying, business is essential, politics, law, history, and the international situation, all of which are not spared.

She knows very well that those countries in the world that have purchased fighter jets from other countries have taken advantage of weapons for a while, but this will not last long, and there is really no friendship between countries but interests, and they have been blockaded at a critical moment, so their combat effectiveness has been greatly damaged.

Just like Iran, although it purchased the F-14 "Tomcat", a fairly classic fighter, which once had the upper hand in the Iran-Iraq war, if there was a lack of spare parts supply, as a result, many "Tomcats" became "sick cats" and "disabled cats", and the advantages of advanced weapons were not brought into play, and they were often beaten by Iraq, and finally this war, which took 7 years and 11 months, was turned into a classic example of "advanced weapons fighting low-level wars", second only to the Vietnam War and the Korean War. It was one of the deadliest wars since World War II.

"Do you see the model?"

Although he made up for his knowledge of fighter jets for a while, Abic also stayed at most in the civilian modified helicopter gunship and the P-51 "Mustang" once found in Gem Valley.

"A-29 'Super Tucano', I'm very optimistic about this one, we can customize the modified version."

Sally gave a name for the model that Abic hadn't expected, and she walked in a certain direction in the exhibit area, where there was what she wanted.

Embraer Security Company's booth at the show, so they didn't miss the aerospace show.

“a-29？ What's that? Why haven't I heard of it, how to choose this, even if it's the J-7. Abic touched his head, he only knew about the F-15, J-10 and other well-known fighters, but he didn't know anything about non-mainstream models.

"'Super Tucano' is a light propeller fighter, although it is only a primary trainer aircraft, in the mountains of Afghanistan, we don't need too high speed, and we don't have a pilot who can control jet fighters, 'Super Tucano' does not have high requirements for pilots, wide combat radius, weapon use elasticity, rocket nests, ordinary bombs, cluster bombs, laser-guided bombs, anti-tank missiles, and even infrared combat missiles can be loaded, there are many countries that have purchased it as a supplement to air force, for us, Enough is enough. ”

Maybe it's because of Aiwu and Wu, Sally has done her homework, but her next sentence made everyone's faces couldn't help but be moved.

"In the next step, I intend to invest in the aviation industry, to have fighter jets of our own design and production, and we cannot rely on others and buy them forever."

In addition, Abic is unaware of another hidden reason, which is that the production partner of Embraer Security, the manufacturer of "Super Tucano", is also the nation's premier women-controlled federal contractor.

In contrast to the dragoon consortium, which is also controlled by women, they seem to have more of a common language in the men's business wars.

After visiting several fighter jet exhibitors, she and Abic collected promotional brochures and quotations with them, and put the final itinerary in the exhibition area of Embraer Security, the manufacturer of the A-29 Super Tucano.

Although China's defense star stole the main limelight from the exhibition, many customers, like the Dragoon consortium, were not the demanders of jet fighters of about 30 million or 40 million US dollars, but also many customers who came to buy business airliners, space launch vehicles and light aerial vehicles, and civilian-grade customers accounted for almost half of the exhibition.

Embraer's exhibition area is also full of customers, as Sally said, the A-29 "Super Tucano" is indeed a low-end cost-effective aircraft, although it is only a junior training aircraft, the performance is comparable to the pinnacle of World War II P-51 "Mustang", which has been exported to countries such as Colombia, Venezuela and Indonesia.

At the same weight, the Pratt & Whitney PT6A-68C turboprop engine used by the "Super Tucano" is more powerful than the piston propeller engine, and the bomb load is 72% higher than that of the "Mustang", and its bomb load of 1550 kg is more than enough in terms of modern precision strike attack mode.

The "Super Tucano" not only costs no more than $500 per hour, but also can adapt to operate in extremely complex terrain and extremely harsh conditions, which is why Sally did not choose other brands of fighters, but also came for the "Super Tucano".

The arrival of the Dragoon consortium was immediately warmly received by Embraer Security.
