Mi-171SH, this helicopter has both "rare" and "common" attributes.

Among them, it is rare because until 2020, a large country in the north is still purchasing, because of its large load capacity, strong functionality, and huge firepower potential, it is very suitable for use as a multi-purpose helicopter.

As a helicopter, its powerful performance is quite rare.

But when it comes to common, there is actually no controversy.

Because the prototype of this thing was born in the 50s of the 20th century, and it itself was successfully developed around 1993 and put into mass production in 2000.

In a sense, this thing is an upgraded version of the "air AK", and its production and application are so large that few other helicopters in the world can match it.

What Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia. This helicopter can be found everywhere.

Even the Wa State actually has two Mi-171SH.

Moreover, they got it quite early, they were already photographed in 2008, and in 2013, they carried out several "air assault" missions against the Burmese army.

So on the whole, Xiaoyu can provide this type of helicopter, which is actually much more reliable than the "Dolphin", or the Z-9.

But the question is where to pick up the goods?

You don't have to fight this thing yourself, do you?

Give me a coordinate and let me grab it myself?

Chen Shen suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, but fortunately, Xiaoyu's answer next made him relax a little.

"You don't have to think about the problem of receiving the goods, and it is definitely impossible for you to open it yourself."

"Besides, let you drive it, can you understand it?"

"I really don't understand."

In fact, it's not just that you can't understand it, but it's impossible to drive it at all.

A Mi-171SH can be equipped with up to 6 crew members, including the flight captain, flight co-pilot, flight mechanic, release mechanic, electronic professional and flight attendant.

Among them, the electronic professional and the orderly can be combined, and the two mechanics can barely be used, but even then, at least 4 crew members are needed to get the plane flying.

In this case, it is basically impossible for the Dongfeng Corps to operate the Mi-171SH independently in the short term, and his previous consideration is to temporarily rely on the strength of Poly and Wa to maintain it first, and then slowly recruit and train it later, and finally achieve complete "self-ownership".

Therefore, when Xiao Yu asked, he also made no secret of his difficulties, and said calmly:

"Moreover, the problem we are facing now is not the question of whether and how to open it, but the problem of cultivating a talent team."

"After all, helicopters are different from cars running on the ground, we don't have the opportunity for trial and error, and one mistake can lead to total annihilation."

"On the other hand, you said it yourself, this is a Mi-171SH, I don't know what weapons will be equipped with it, but the Petrel, C-5 and the like should be standard, right?"

"Its firepower strength can directly overthrow a small warlord."

"There's no way I'm comfortable handing this thing over to outsiders, so if there's no flight crew, I'd rather you don't give it to me yet."

"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty."

After hearing his words, Xiao Yu seemed quite satisfied, she dragged out her voice "Hmm~", and said approvingly:

"I think very clearly."

"Well, what do you have to do?"

This is an obvious temptation, but Chen Shen will not even be unable to withstand such a test.

After a little hesitation, he spoke:

"It still depends on the specific source of the helicopter and the delivery method."

"First of all, let's exclude the northern goods, because it is not yet time to be eliminated, and it is impossible to give us the active money."

"Secondly, exclude the maozi goods, after all, if it is the maozi goods, you don't have to call me this number, just give me a contact, and I can contact it myself."

"Generally speaking, is it most likely a smuggled goods from a Southeast Asian country? Laos? ”

"If it's really Laos, then the crew members are actually easier to solve, just pack people and goods together, take the equipment rental route, I remember they don't have this service?"

The so-called "equipment rental" is actually an ironic statement by Chen Shen, saying that in the Golden Triangle, the national armies, including Burma, Thailand, and Laos, are generally deeply entangled with private armed forces and warlord armed forces, and can even spend money to buy some military equipment and even the right to use the army.

This is similar to what Lao Mei did in Iraq.

If it is really this route, Chen Shen can arrange the separation of people and goods, and the helicopter will be transported to Mengka according to the normal scrapping and export process, and the personnel will set up a name and rent it in the form of "inspection" and "exchange".

However, this method of operation does not completely solve the problem of "credibility", it can only be said that the two sides have each other's handles, which is slightly more reliable than Chen Shen going to find someone by himself.

Therefore, Chen Shen didn't want Xiaoyu to go through this process in his heart, but if there was really no way, he could make do with it.

And after hearing his speculation, the little fish on the opposite side did not hesitate to deny it directly.

"How can it be so complicated?"

"As I have said, business belongs to business, and we must also complete the agreement in the form of pure business."

"Since you are so familiar with the weapon configuration of the Mi-171SH. Then you should also know who has this helicopter in Pubei, right? ”

"Kachin, Wa, Karen seem to have, I don't know very well."

Chen Shen replied.

"That's right, Kachin and Wa have both, Karen doesn't, they only have Mi-8."

"Then do you know where the Mi-171 in Wa State, their helicopters and pilots came from?"

"Then don't sell it, I really don't know, just tell me."

Chen Shen sighed helplessly, he vaguely felt that Xiaoyu really thought too highly of himself.

What are you kidding? If I knew how the helicopters and pilots in the Wa State came to be, I would still have to slap you around every day, wouldn't I just buy it myself?

In fact, the source of the helicopter in Wa is highly classified, and many people think that it came directly from the north, but in fact it is not at all.

Not only the helicopter, but also a series of weapons and electronic equipment on it.

Chen Shen knew that they had taken a complicated and tortuous import route, bypassing multiple audits with the help of Laos, but he really didn't know how this road got through.

——

However, Xiao Yu's next answer gave him a simple answer.

"The equipment was bought from Laos, and Laos has its own export demands, there is no doubt about that."

"But, they just deliver, and after delivery, they don't care."

"So the pilot's problem, is another problem. However, there are still a lot of retired civil aviation pilots."

Hung up Xiaoyu's phone, and the delivery of the helicopter finally had a clear plan.

As Chen Shen expected, the goods have been prepared for a long time, and they are currently parked in a civilian airport in Laos that no one knows, the fuel has been filled, and the C-5 rockets have been hung, although there is no TY-90, but there are three more 12.7mm heavy machine guns in the nose, side door, and tailgate!

Moreover, this is not yet the final state of armament.

Because it still has two empty hardpoints on its short wings, if necessary, it is possible to purchase upgrade kits directly from Maozi in the future and hang heavy cannons.

Just listening to this thing, I feel that it is full of martial virtues, and it is simply a version of Pubeiping's version of the air gunboat.

Chen Shen couldn't wait to fly the plane back immediately, but the pilot had not yet arrived and the procedures had not been properly arranged, so Chen Shen had to be patient and wait a few more days.

But what can you do while waiting?

The coalition's battle plan has not yet been activated, even if the muzzle of the AH-2 has been aimed at the Mengku barracks, but before he gets the order, let alone open the artillery, Chen Shen can't even send forward observation posts.

In addition, the business has basically been done, and now the state of the Dongfeng Corps is a strange one.

It's like a candidate before the college entrance examination.

Knowing that the big test is just around the corner, knowing that he may have to face a major test, knowing that there must be a major gain after the major test, this should have been the most stressful time, but.

The leaders of the school arranged a three-day holiday at this time!

And he took all the books away for you, which means that you can relax and relax before the big exam!

Who can stand this?

So, Chen Shen had no choice but to vent his slightly suppressed emotions to the Dongfeng Corps.

The specific manifestation of this is .

The training starts straight to the intensity.

Of course, not Devil's Week, not Devil's Month.

It's extremely boring, extremely boring helicopter boarding, disembarking, and abseiling training.

The white dog was responsible for getting a container back, and then found someone to cut two small doors on the container, and erected the container to a height of more than one meter, and then went up here and down there, and practiced for half a day.

In addition to this, they practiced the subject of operating a machine gun for cover in a confined space.

The conditions are not enough, manpower to make up, find a crane to lift the container in the air, the machine gunner moves a small bench to sit on the edge of the small door, and the people below tie a rope to pull the container around.

It may seem a bit ridiculous, but it really works.

It only took a day for a few Heavy to get used to the irregular shaking, and although they didn't hit accurately, at least they didn't throw up on themselves.

Also, since the Heavy adapted, the others had to adapt as well.

It is no exaggeration to say that it took Chen Shen less than two days to complete the disenchantment of all members of the Dongfeng Corps.

Before that, most of them looked at the helicopter with a state of awe, adoration, and fear, but after two days, they were afraid that they were left. Fed up.

And nausea.

I don't know if when the helicopter actually flies over, it will be just a large container with different livery in their eyes.

Regardless, the results of this training are quite encouraging.

Of course, because it itself is not too complicated, Chen Shen did not spend too much time piling up proficiency, but simply practiced it, and let it go if he could meet the basic requirements.

The really difficult part is the rappelling training later.

This thing belongs to the advanced skills of advanced skills, not to mention ordinary mercenaries, even the regular armies of various countries have a bad game.

Needless to say, India is embarrassed to make a year-end summary if it doesn't fall to death a few times, and even Lao Mei, Maozi and the air assault brigade of a big country in the north have frequent accidents in this subject.

Chen Shen doesn't really want everyone to master the helicopter rappelling skills, in the words of Li Bang, that is, practicing and having fun, anyway, being idle is idle.

A rope is hung down from the roof of the villa, and then everyone takes turns to rappel, and if they don't dare to go down, they kick it down, anyway, there is a swimming pool below, and they can't die.

After practicing like this for 3 days, everyone is called a life without love, and it has even developed to the extent that when they see the rope, they touch their waists.

This habit

It's hard to say.

Five days have passed, and there is new news from Xiaoyu's side.

The plane is ready, the pilot is in place, now it just needs to wait for a suitable moment to bring the helicopter over.

It will be in place within five days at the latest, that's her promise.

But why is this time, and what is the right time, Xiao Yu didn't say, and Chen Shen didn't ask.

All he could do was quickly clear a field that could be used as an airfield for helicopters to stop.

This matter was still done by the Dongfeng Corps itself, so all the team members finally got a short rest, and those team members who were originally unwilling to do this kind of "chores" also picked up their shovels and rushed to the front as if they had been gifted.

Half a day to level out of the venue, one day to complete the simple paving, two days to pull up the barbed wire, arrange the circuit, install the lights, arrange the monitoring and warning posts, a very crude temporary airport, even if the construction is completed.

——

However, although the airport is simple, the location chosen by Chen Shen is not child's play.

It is surrounded by trees and tall buildings, with a billboard in the middle that has been installed saying "Drug use is harmful to health", and the main building of the villa is used as a cover to the north, and the widest part of the Mekong River is in the north and south.

Basically, this temporary airport has eliminated all possible raids, and it will be safe on the ground if you pull up a little more camouflage nets and build a hangar in the future.

Everything is ready, just wait for the helicopter.

The more Chen Shen waited, the more anxious he became, and he couldn't wait to call Xiaoyu directly and ask how the arrangements were going.

But he also knew that if Xiaoyu said that he would have to wait, he would definitely have to wait.

——

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long.

On an uneventful night, Chen Shen suddenly received a call from Xiaoyu.

Less than an hour later, the characteristic roar of the helicopter suddenly descended on Mengka.

Chen Shen personally went to do the ground guidance, but in fact, the pilot of this helicopter didn't seem to need this kind of thing very much.

He simply and rudely slapped the helicopter that Chen Shen was thinking about to the ground, without a trace of unnecessary shaking.

Before the engine was turned off, someone stepped out of the side door.

Chen Shen couldn't wait to greet him, and happily put his hand on the bulkhead of the plane.

That's how it feels.

Echo on.

His face was full of intoxication, and the little fish standing next to him was directly stupid.

She subconsciously opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't speak.

Forget it, what can you say about him?

Let's make do with it, what else can you break?
