Chapter 866: Only when we work together can we live in peace
Joga is interested in Pierre's 'other proposal'!
In order to satisfy the aviation dreams of cobras and water-shooting fish, Boss Joe pinched his nose and ate so many fighters.
If it weren't for Boss Qiao's plug-in upgrade, he would never have been able to support these big guys who eat money.
Not to mention fighting, without outside support, it would be difficult to just refuel.
Now P· B has not only 3 C-130s, but also 4 F-16s, two Su-27s, two L-159s, two Su-25s, and two F-14 Panda fighters that have just arrived from the United States.
It's just that the two Pandas still need to be adapted to for pilots, and their combat radius is no worse than that of the Su-27, which is also an important reason why Joga feels that he can eat both ends in the center.
The geographical location of Central Africa, from an economic point of view, cannot be seen as poor.
But from P· From B's point of view, this is a great location for the nest.
Because no matter which direction the air force comes from, as long as it hangs a bombshell, unless it has the help of air tankers, it will not be able to fly back when it arrives here.
The army is even worse, there is no air delivery capability, and it is impossible to approach Central Africa quickly, because there is not even a reliable highway here.
P· B's sphere of influence is inflated like a balloon, and it would be a lie to say that the French are not nervous.
But they can't help it, P· B's international image is too good.
What's more, they didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and most of the tasks were wrapped in the cloak of charity.
Now they have the backing of not only the United Nations, but also more than half of the world's female fighters.
Even if French politicians don't care about the United Nations, they may not be able to withstand the bombardment of women's boxing, after all, politicians are decent people.
With the current state of the French president, he will definitely not ask for trouble, and he needs to pray to God and worship Buddha if he can step down peacefully.
But even so, the so-called United Air Force must have the French joined.
Otherwise, as Pierre hinted at, I may not be able to do anything about you, but I can definitely make you uneasy.
In the end, the United Air Force was stillborn, and more seriously, the surrounding Afica countries opposed P· The presence of B.
It is not impossible, because the fighter is too deadly for the countries of Afika, which is still in the guerrilla stage, especially those careerists!
However, it is certainly impossible for the French to want to continue to exert influence while still exerting prostitution.
But Joga also knew that the United Air Force could not avoid the French, and he did want the big head of La French to join the gang.
No matter how Boss Qiao cheats the French in Syria, it will not prevent Boss Qiao from living in France in Aficala and shielding himself from the malicious eyes of the world.
This is very important!
The French probably saw this as well, so the offer that came up was outrageous.
Pierre's attitude towards Joga had already been expected, so he decisively proposed another plan......
Looking at Qiao Jia's look of being willing to hear the details, Pierre said with a wry smile: "It's still 50 million, P· B: Take out the airfield and share it with us, and we won't use your fighter jets.
But you need to be ready to help us refuel the Rafale from Djibouti Air Base. ”
Qiao Jia sneered and said: "It costs 3~40,000 euros to refuel once in a gust, and the cost of a round trip plus the maintenance of the airport will be 100,000."
If you stop here, maybe I'll have to help maintain it.
Do you know how much you French people hate in this part of Central Africa?
I'm going to be under a lot of pressure if I let you use my airport.
Big brother, you are a big country, and the countries here are afraid of you interfering in their internal affairs, and you have a criminal record.
50 million wants me to carry such a big pot, that's just a joke! ”
Saying that, Qiaojia looked at Pierre, who looked helpless, and said with a smile: "But I have another way, do you want to listen to it?" ”
Pierre spread his hands helplessly and said, "Do I have any other choice?" ”
Joga laughed and said, "Of course not, I'd rather fucking let the fighter rot than do something stupid that makes the neighboring countries of Central Africa nervous."
The significance of the joint air force is to give a group of neighboring countries in Central Africa that have no defense capability to rely on.
It's okay for the French to want to mix it up, it's still 50 million euros a year, and there is a place for you in the joint command.
You join as a shareholder of the Fighter Training Center, and with the joint command seat, it will be no problem for you to join the Air Force to continue the Red Moon Dune program with you.
I have roughly calculated the cost of combat use, and the cost of an F-16 flight is about $40,000 per hour, plus operations maintenance costs, parts retooling, aviation fuel, ......
Because I need to purchase parts and fuel from abroad, the price will be high, so the overall cost per hour is $100,000.
And that's not even counting the airport's maintenance costs.
Of course, the Su-27 will cost a little less to use, but the fuel consumption of this big guy is greater, so we will calculate it at $150,000 per hour.
As long as you need it, and there is no objection from the people in the joint command center, then we will set off with enough money to select the right missiles......"
Pierre, who is also an expert, did a little math and found that if he needed it, he would need to buy at least three man-hours of fighter jets at a time.
To be honest, 450,000 a trip is not expensive, but this does not include the price of missiles or aerial bombs......
Even if the most conservative ammunition configuration is used, the aircraft will abandon air-to-air missiles and only use ground-to-ground weapons, and it will cost at least 1 million to make a flight.
If the battle is fierce and requires high-precision ammunition support, then the price is not counted.
Joga's meaning is clear, 50 million euros a year is just a ticket, and France will have to send people to join the fighter training center to provide technical and human assistance before they can get a place in the joint air force.
In this case, whenever it is necessary to vote, France does not have the upper hand.
It was impossible for Pierre to agree to this condition, so he looked at Qiao Jia and said seriously: "Jackal, you should understand our position, money is not a problem, but if you can't get part of the dominance......"
Qiao Jia smiled and waved his hand and said, "Dude, I think you should have expectations for this matter.
In fact, my people lobbied not only the surrounding countries, but also the AU governors.
Afika is a frequent war, but the African Union's peacekeeping force is very weak.
The significance of the joint air force is to provide a certain degree of protection to countries that do not have defense capabilities to guard against foreign invasion.
So far, we have persuaded Central Africa, Congo, Burundi, Chad, Niger, and I will consider bringing Congo in the future.
But apart from these countries, the AU is the key, and only they can label us legitimately.
You want to seek dominance, and that is impossible! ”
Saying that, Joga looked at Pierre, who had a little unsightly face, and said with a smile: "But if you spend money, you should enjoy the same veto power as the AU representatives."
You may not be able to decide who to bomb, but you can decide who will not be bombed.
That's what you did at the National Bank of Afica, do you think it's enough? ”
Pierre took a deep breath, then made a gesture to wait a moment, took out his satellite phone and walked into a room.
The conditions put forward by Joga were almost close to the bottom line of the French......
They need relatively inexpensive, and no long-term spending of air power, to support the Red Moon Dunes program.
They also need to intervene in the joint air force and exert their influence to regulate the relations between some countries in West and Central Africa.
A ticket of 50 million a year is much cheaper than hundreds of millions of dollars in aid every year.
And how many fighters can Afika use?
Boss Joe quoted a conscience price, but how many of Afika have this kind of budget?
In the end, it is none other than the African Union, France and P· B has this ability.
The AU still exists only as a watchdog.
As long as you can win over P· B, one veto is enough.
Anyway, if you don't cooperate with me, Lao Tzu will disgust you, so that you can't use your strength.
That's the truth, but Pierre still underestimated Joga's determination to formalize the use of the Combined Air Force.
You France want to fight terrorists, no problem, you and the countries where the terrorists are located submit reports and evidence to prove that those people deserve to die, and through the deliberations of the AU representatives, the fighter jets will be dispatched.
In the future, when everything is formalized, even P· B itself is no exception.
If you want to use a fighter jet, you have to prove that the target really deserves to die, or everyone agrees that the target deserves to die.
That's why Boss Joe didn't include the Griffin-1 and helicopters in the Joint Air Force program.
It's one thing to pull people to raise fighters together, and it's stupid to give up the initiative.
The United Air Force must put up an official brand, otherwise this unscrupulous force will eventually lead to malicious attention from the outside world. A private company like B simply can't afford it.
But with the AU brand, it's different, the airport is mine, I contribute these, and the member states and the AU will always have to come up with some real money.
As for how to convict the target in the future, it depends on the 'personal ability'!
Let the 'judge' hammer it......
It's not hard!
Boss Joe stepped on France's bottom line!
It is an indisputable fact that their control over Afica is declining year by year, and in the heyday of their power, they have long used their international influence to turn P· B pressed on the ground and hammered it apart.
Now, in order to maintain the anti-terrorist front at the lowest cost, and at the same time maintain its influence in Afika, the best option is to cooperate with P· B cooperation.
P· Bank B is a French bank, and they still have confidence in maintaining a goodwill relationship with Boss Qiao.
Nearly half an hour later, Pierre walked out of the room, looked at Joga with a strange expression, and said: "In a month, a team will go to the AU headquarters to advise and consult on the matter of the joint air force."
Jackal, you've been ready for a long time, right? ”
Qiao Jia poured two glasses of whiskey again, handed one over, and said helplessly: "Since the big money eaters fell into my hands, I have been preparing."
Dude, people who are serious about making money don't think it's a good thing!
Letting them feed themselves is the best option for me! ”
Pierre took a sip of whiskey in admiration and said, "But the airport and the plane are on your territory, and maintenance and supply depend on you......
Jackal, you are a smart man, I feel as if I have been fooled, but I can't tell where I have suffered......
Please, don't fool me, let me mix up until retirement. ”
When Qiao Jia heard this, he laughed and said, "Don't worry, you have to trust my credibility and my friendship with my friends."
I heard that you prefer yachts, and I asked people to buy a beach house on the French island of Reunion.
Trust me, let's work together for two years, and you can go and see those yachts over 40 feet. ”
Pierre listened, pouted, and said with a smile: "Reunion Island is a good place, I have always wanted to go there for fishing!" ”
