Chapter 19: Tasha's Airlines

After explaining some things about the procurement of materials, Wang Yue was pulled by Tasha to an airport in the suburbs, well, this is just an unfinished highway, because it is close to the coast and far from the city, the safety here is still guaranteed for the time being, at least there is no trace of crossfire around.

Tasha took Wang Yue here to see the two Li-2 transport planes he had ordered earlier, but after coming to the airport, Wang Yue saw more than a dozen Li-2 transport planes in the highway service area.

A plane was taking off along the highway, and as soon as it left the ground, it suddenly raised its head, and then turned on the afterburner, and suddenly flew into the sky; On the other side, Wang Yue clearly saw a group of locals waiting in line to get on the plane, wait, wait, that person, did you have a donkey in your hand?

"Tasha, what the hell is going on?" Wang Yue was also stupid, it seemed that he had only ordered two planes.

"Victor, it's all for you, in order to get these planes in, I had to register an airline in Tripoli and pay the western authorities a hundred thousand dollars a year, and I tell you, this money must be converted into the price of the plane!" Tasha was very aggrieved and angry, but she was happy in her heart, she hadn't noticed it before, and after getting this kind of broken plane, she realized that it was really promising in RLB National Development Airlines.

The Li-2 was pulled out of the warehouse of the aviation complex by Tasha, 50,000 dollars each, and it was not maintained, and the two pilots' grandfathers poured fuel and drove it over, which was really solid.

There is no need for a professional airport for take-off and landing, as long as there is a flat land of about the same length, which saves the cost of airport use and maintenance to the greatest extent; High-grade fuel? What are you kidding, just get some oil from a small local refinery and pour it into the tank; As for the pilots? They are all old people from their grandfather's generation, with enough food and shelter, enough vodka, and a few thousand dollars a month per person; The key is that the aircraft is simple to operate, and if the pilot is experienced, a person can make do with a student to fly, and the cost can be compressed to the greatest extent; Besides, this thing is so broken that the armed forces with anti-aircraft missiles are unwilling to take care of this kind of aircraft, and the results of the battle are really not worth the value of the missile.

After careful calculation, Tasha found that the cost of using this kind of plane to transport by air is very low, and it is safe and reliable, and even the salary and daily wear and tear of mercenaries that must be borne by land transportation are saved, so some small single girls simply use the plane to transport it directly, fast, safe, low cost, and the key is to earn more.

As for passenger transport, there is no way, the current situation in Libby, it is too dangerous to go on the ground, so the demand for air transport is very strong, but the requirements for ground facilities for advanced passenger aircraft are too high, the southern part of Libby's country is very backward, and there are too few places to fly, but the Li-2 transport aircraft is different, almost everywhere can fly, so the business is almost unrestricted, so that passenger transport is gradually done.

Tasha has successively got dozens of planes from China, and now, these can bring her more than 100,000 dollars of pure profit every day, although it is not much, but stable, there are still many planes that have been ordered by some tribes, the price is cheap, the maintenance is simple, and the operation is easy to use, in the eyes of the tribal armed forces of Libi country, this is simply tailor-made for them.

"No problem, but you'll need to get a pilot to teach me how to fly this." Wang Yue doesn't know the inside story, but the girl got the plane over so quickly, it's worth paying a little more, you let him buy it himself, it is estimated that he won't want to get it in a few months.

"Victor, you want to fly on your own? Have you ever flown before? Tasha thought that Wang Yue bought it for the tribal armed forces, and she didn't want this guy to fly by himself.

"Don't worry, I'll learn things quickly." Wang Yue didn't dare to tell the girl that he could learn a foreign language in a day now, and he had already mastered the operation of this kind of plane with the computer, right?

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you, find someone to talk to you about the theory first." Tasha saw that Wang Yue was very resolute, so she didn't insist, training pilots is also one of her business, and now there are twenty young people training there in the classroom next to her, which are all sent by the tribes that have ordered planes.

"No, I can just do it." Wang Yue shook his head, theory? Just kidding, I remember every screw of this thing clearly, what am I doing in theory class? Airframe systems, aerodynamics, radio air-ground dialogue, aviation regulations, pilot's spoken English, pilot's English, engine systems, aircraft handling, human control and aircraft judgment, navigation, aircraft instrument manuals are all memorized.

"Well, damn it, Victor, you arrogant guy!" Tasha saw Wang Yue's eyes, and she didn't know why, but her heart actually throbbed while she was angry.

Immediately afterwards, it was time for Wang Yue to refresh Tasha's cognition, from the time he stepped into the cockpit of the plane, it only took an hour for this guy to be able to fly the plane by himself, and he even cooperated with another old man to make a low-altitude roll, making the yellow sand rolling on the outskirts of Tripoli. Even the authorities in the western part of the city have sent people to negotiate with them, asking them not to do this near the city, which will cause misunderstanding among the various forces in the city.

After getting off the plane, the old pilot told Tasha with a smile that Wang Yue's skills were already above him, and as long as he did not encounter an extremely experience-testing situation, Wang Yue could fly independently without any problems. This gave Tasha a ghostly expression.

"Tasha, I'm satisfied, how much do two planes cost?" Wang Yue's calm appearance is actually excited, just now when he was in the sky, he used the system to test, the Li-2 transport aircraft can be carried through to 1940, and it is directly from the sky, which is equivalent to unlocking a new way to cross, he must be happy.

"Two hundred thousand dollars for a plane, plus other expenses, you can give me five hundred thousand dollars." Tasha is a little lacking in interest, this thing has been built by the two major countries, and there are many of them still in service, like their own country, they can't get the airworthiness license of Western countries, so they can't sell it at all, and it's already a good price to ask for two of 500,000 US dollars, after all, the aircraft mainly relies on parts and after-sales to make money.

"No problem, can the Lager-3 fighter still be found?" Wang Yue nodded and asked again.

"Yes, there must be, but it's hard to fly, the plane uses a lot of wood, and it has rotted for decades, so that the aircraft factory repairs it is equivalent to rebuilding a fuselage, and the price is certainly not cheap. What do you want that thing for? If you want planes, I can get you a couple of cheap jet fighters, how about the MiG-21, I have an early model in my hand, in stock, full of fuel and bombs, and a million dollars a single can give you. Tasha can also see that Wang Yue's guy has always not sought the best when buying things, as long as they are the cheapest.

"Then I'd better think about something else." Wang Yue was a little disappointed, in 1940, after Yamamoto Kazuki gained power, the air defense pressure of the Eighth Route Army increased sharply, he could buy some anti-aircraft artillery and bring it over, but the problem is that even if the anti-aircraft artillery and shells are cheaply given to the other party, the ammunition consumed in a battle is not something they can afford.

The Lager-3 fighter is actually not excellent, but in the same time period, among the aircraft that can be found, it is the most suitable, simple to operate, low maintenance cost, medium to high performance, and can meet almost all the needs of the Eighth Route Army.

"I'm sorry to think about it, in fact, if you want this kind of propeller aircraft, you can find a small factory to customize, it doesn't need to be an aircraft factory, with the current technology, many factories can produce that, you must know that many agricultural machinery factories were manufacturing this kind of aircraft, as for the most complex engine and instrument system, I can help you find it, the military planned to build 10,000 planes, there must be a large number of spare parts thrown in the warehouse in the Ural Mountains." Tasha suggested on the side, he could see that Wang Yue really wanted the Lag-3 fighter, and he still wanted to help this guy.

"How much does it cost us to make our own?" Wang Yue's eyes lit up.

"To put it bluntly, it is to build a steel-wood mixed fuselage, there is no technical content, and there is nothing valuable, the cost is 100,000 US dollars, plus the engine, instrument, weapons and the like, at best it will be built for 200,000 US dollars, I can even customize the fuselage directly from your country, and then pull it to Libyb to assemble, don't talk about Victor, this kind of aircraft sold to the black uncles may really work, I also have a license to manufacture aircraft in Liby, God, you should praise me, I am a little clever ghost!" Tasha was actually excited as she spoke.

"If you're going to make it, I'll order 200 first, and you'll have to give me a discount, my aviation giant Tasha." Wang Yue said with a smile.

"Damn, Victor, tell me, whose line are you on, Yemen? Sudan? Afghanistan? Myanmar? Where the hell is it? God, it can't be any guy from Libby who wants to play the game, right? I can tell you, the water is too deep for you to participate in! Tasha suddenly became serious and warned Wang Yue very seriously.

"Tasha, don't worry, I won't be ignorant of life and death, it's too late for me to hide from them, I just want to make a little money, okay, if you order a body in my country, I hope you can make it in Binzhou, because that's my hometown." Wang Yue smiled, the whole world was in a mess, but behind him was the shadow of a big country, and he was an ant compared to them, at best, an ant ten times stronger than other ants.

"Victor, I really believe you, damn it, I'm an arms dealer, when did I actually start building my own planes, is this what you Chinese people call involution?" Tasha saw that Wang Yue was sincere, so she no longer dwelled on that issue.
