The next day, Chang Haonan and Wu Yifan signed a cooperation agreement in a low-key manner in the conference room of the Torch Group.

According to the content, the latter Black Sea Import and Export Trading Company will send up to 1,000 professors, senior engineers or other equivalent professional and technical personnel to the Torch Group within five years.

In return, the Torch Group will pay an intermediary fee ranging from $15,000 to $50,000 for each person according to different personnel levels, of which $5 million will be used as an advance payment, which will be paid in advance after the contract is signed, and then refunded and compensated for the deficiency on an annual basis.

Of course, this money does not really need to be paid by the Torch Group.

The Commission of Science and Technology provided a special fund for the Friendship Project to pay for these expenses, and Chang Haonan only acted as a middleman that both sides trusted and familiarized.

As for the $5 million advance payment, it is naturally not exactly what is written on the surface, but includes the freight paid by Wu Yifan to be responsible for transporting a batch of "mysterious goods" into the Balkans, which accounts for about one-fifth of it.

Throughout the Spring Festival holiday, the electric technology group was working overtime to produce this batch of electronic components, and it was not until yesterday that the quality inspection was finally completed.

Originally, the Air Force meant that he would also pull a batch of 57mm and 100mm anti-aircraft artillery shells that were about to expire by the way, so that he could support his brothers in the Third World to resist hegemony, and by the way, he could save the money spent on destruction for two years.

But these two kinds of ammunition can be said to be ubiquitous in southeastern Europe, and it is too abstract to take the trouble of airlifting it from China and then risking it to the Balkans, and when it comes to pyrotechnics, the risk and freight will increase exponentially, and in the end Chang Haonan still refused this kind offer.

However, these contents are all conditions agreed in private and will not be directly reflected in the content of the agreement.

"It's a pleasure to work with."

After the signing of the agreement, which was not held at the press conference and had no flashing lights, Wu Yifan got up and exchanged the agreement documents with Chang Haonan, and then shook hands:

"I didn't expect that the biggest order since I entered the industry was made with you Brother Nan."

Chang Haonan took the folder, then handed it to Song Jingming next to him, and motioned for the latter to archive.

After there were only two people left in the room, he spoke:

"Lao Wu, the recruitment of people is rather lacking than indiscriminate, and it is not very anxious, the first batch can be in China before the end of this year, but the batch of goods I asked you to transport, you must transport it to the destination before mid-March."

"Also, try to obscure our identities as much as possible throughout the process, and it's best to be able to mislead them into thinking it's the work of the Russians by means of hints and the like."

Wu Yifan's expression became serious.

After all, this is also the first time he has done such an exciting job of transporting military supplies to a quasi-war zone:

"The latter is not difficult, the reason why the Russians came to me before was because I had done business with the officer in charge of receiving at the destination a few times, and I was considered an acquaintance, as long as I didn't say anything, he would definitely acquiesce that I had accepted the order from Moscow."

"But ...... by mid-March"

He looked at the perpetual calendar hanging next to him with some embarrassment:

"Brother Nan, it's the end of February now, and you know it...... Okay, you shouldn't know...... But for the sake of smuggling, for the sake of cost-effectiveness, we will wait until the day of the person who cooperates with us to clear customs, but I can't estimate this schedule very carefully, and I have to pass through a third country in the middle......"

Halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Chang Haonan with a wave of his hand:

"We paid millions of dollars, but we didn't want you to pay for money."

"In this matter, safety and efficiency are the first priority, and if there are too many funds in the middle, we can make up for it for you afterwards."

In the original timeline, the date of the start of the Allied operation was March 24, but Chang Haonan could not guarantee whether there would be a change in the details in this life, and there was still time to prepare, so it was indeed a bit rushed.

However, Wu Yifan still shook his head:

"It's not exactly about the money."

"I know you mean you're worried that we're too slow to get in before the conflict breaks out, but it's because of the tension in that area that we don't want to make too much of a fuss."

"On the surface, we are only transporting a batch of electronic components, and we buy a few grassroots officers and veterans, so they don't care what these things are going to be sent over for, and they will be done with the money."

"But if they contact the person in charge of a relatively high level with great fanfare, they will think about more things, and at this juncture, even money alone may not be able to achieve things, after all, in order to smuggle a batch of electronic products to spend tens of thousands of yuan to pay bribes, no matter how you look at it, there are big problems in it."

Chang Haonan has been a law-abiding citizen for two lifetimes, and he really doesn't know as much about these things as Wu Yifan.

But if this stuff is still on the road when the conflict breaks out, it will be completely lost.

Looking at Chang Haonan with a tangled face, Wu Yifan gritted his teeth:

"That's it, Brother Nan, I can take an air transport, the airspace of those countries is basically undefended at present, get the transport plane to fly a little lower, and then buy the management personnel of a semi-abandoned airport on the border, but it can save the trouble of land customs clearance, and it can also save about three or four days of effort, but ......"

"Gotta add money?"

Chang Haonan asked.

"It's not...... Belch...... Well, yes, you have to add money, but not the kind of money you think. ”

Wu Yifan wrapped himself in a little, and after a while, he continued:

"Your shipment weighs almost 4 tons including the protective package, and the idle small plane can't pull it through at all, so I have to build a serious transport plane, but I probably won't need this thing myself in the future, so after the thing is done, you can either let the organization come forward, in short, you have to buy this plane."

"Of course, the price will not be very high, it is all resold by the Ermao Air Force from the normal aircraft and scrapped aircraft, about one or two million US dollars."

That's not a lot of money.

Not to mention the fact that you can change planes and come back.

The only problem is that unless this aircraft is an Il-76, other models will be thrown back to dust.

But even if it is calculated according to the price of the scrapped machine, it is definitely not a strategic transport aircraft like the Il-76 that can be bought for one or two million dollars.

"That's it, Old Wu."

Chang Haonan thought for a moment, then raised his head and said:

"The money for the purchase of this plane, like the freight, was paid out of the funds of the Friendship Project according to the agreement just now."

"But don't bother to get this plane back to China, just put it on Ermao's side, you can maintain it from time to time, I guess there will be similar work in the future, and it will be regarded as an investment in the future."

Wu Yifan took a deep breath.

He felt as if he had been tied up on a thief ship by Chang Haonan......

But it has come to this, and there is no turning back.

And it's really fast to make money on this thief ship......

"Okay, that's it!"

……

A week later.

A snow-covered airport in Satumare County, Romania.

A convoy of five Ural trucks was lined up and parked on the grass next to the runway,

Each truck has a tarpaulin on its cargo box, and judging by the distance between the rear wheels and the hub, it should be empty.

The airport, which is now slightly dilapidated and desolate, was built more than a decade ago when the Warsaw Pact was still in place.

The primary purpose is, of course, for war readiness, but there are also considerations to improve the ease of transportation and commuting in the border mountainous areas.

Therefore, a lot of manpower and material resources will be invested in maintenance every year.

However, after entering the 90s, due to well-known reasons, the maintenance of infrastructure in remote areas has basically stopped.

After a decade of hard work, the airport's infrastructure has largely come to a standstill, with only the most basic staff remaining.

However, for Wu Yifan and others who run the "cross-border transportation" business, it is a good thing.

In total, he spent only a few tens of thousands of dollars to get the airport's superintendent to agree to provide them with runways and refueling services.

It's just that the airport radar has long been broken, and there are not enough people, so they can't provide guidance during the landing process, and they have to do the loading and unloading themselves.

"Angkor, it's been 10 minutes since the estimated time, why hasn't the plane been shadowed yet?"

In the cab of the first truck, Wu Yifan's deputy, who is also the driver of the first car, Yan Yong, raised his hand and looked at his watch, looking a little anxious.

The two are fellow villagers who have known each other since childhood, and when Wu Yifan graduated and went abroad, Yan Yong followed him.

He was also the only one of the five drivers who knew the specific route and schedule.

However, there is no information about the specific goods to be shipped, as well as the shipper.

"Don't panic, after all, you have to fly nearly 400 kilometers, and it's all at low altitude, and the time can't be so accurate."

In fact, Lao Wu in the co-pilot seat was also a little anxious.

He was not afraid that the pilot would run away in the plane, but that he was worried that flying at an ultra-low altitude in the mountains all the way would easily crash in case of a breakdown or miscarriage......

But in front of his subordinates, he still has to show that he is in control of everything.

So in order to divert his attention, he had to turn on the radio in the car and adjust the knob to try to find a channel that could be listened to.

"It is reported that the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier of the US Navy has approached the Adriatic Sea, which is very important to ...... Pressuring, EU ...... Issuing an ultimatum ......"

The signal in the mountainous area is really average, and Wu Yifan's Romanian and Russian are both two knives, so basically you can only listen to a rough idea.

But it's enough to get useful information.

"Speaking of Angkor, the Balkans haven't been peaceful lately, let's transport things at this time, we won't be trapped inside, right?"

"Go and get back, no."

Wu Yifan shook his head, and his tone was categorical.

He knew that he must not show the slightest hesitation, otherwise no one else would dare to make this trip.

"I don't know who it is, and I still have to ...... at this juncture."

Yan Yong had just spoken, when he was interrupted by a growing roar.

Wu Yifan turned off the radio, poked his head out of the side window, and held a telescope to look at the sky to the north.

A bizarre plane with its engines mounted on its wings is aimed at the runway to release its landing gear and gradually descend in altitude.

It was the An-72 transport plane that Wu Yifan urgently acquired from the Ermao Air Force.

At first, he was going to build an An-24 or An-26, but the maximum payload of these two models is only about 5 tons, and the age of the aircraft is generally 20 years or more, so the risk of low-altitude flight with large payload is really a bit high.

That's why I ended up making a big one.

The good thing is that there are only a few planes in the world and the characteristics are too distinct, so you don't have to worry about making mistakes.

Wu Yifan picked up the walkie-talkie placed next to him, opened the car door and jumped out of the cab:

"Everyone get out of the car and get ready to load!"
