In March, the grass grows along the way.

On the 14th day of April in the Gregorian calendar, the lunar calendar finally entered March, it was drizzling outside the window, but the shipyard conference room was in full swing, between the smoke, the figures in the room were like shadows, like a fairyland, with a gust of wind blowing into the room from the window, the smoke in the room finally faded a little, and the depression and stuffiness suddenly faded a lot.

"That's it! All right! Take a 10-minute break and go to the toilet if you want to. ”

"Suffocate me, I have to go out and blow the wind."

"Ahem, cough, the key is that you are too good at smoking, although this cigarette is public, and it really doesn't cost money, but you can't smoke one after another like this, right?"

"Whoa! This is the act of collecting collective wool! It's too much! It's just too much! ”

At ten o'clock in the morning, in the conference room with thick smoke, Wang Ye couldn't help it, stood up and walked to the window, gasping for the fresh air outside, and teasing with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, the conference room resounded with laughter and gossiping.

"Look! Look! We smoked too much, and the factory director was distressed! ”

"But you really should smoke less, smoking is not healthy!"

"Hey, I'm in my sixties, and I still have a few days to live, I should smoke and drink, hahaha!"

"The key is not to smoke, this brain is like being confused, affecting work!"

"The point is that the cigarettes in Caiyun Province are really easy to smoke."

In the noisy sound, the crowd in the conference room left the room one after another, either going to the toilet or going out to breathe, only Wang Ye stood at the window, breathing in the moist fresh air outside.

It has been a week since Wang Ye came to the shipyard.

During this week, Wang Ye was busy every day, and when he got up in the morning, washed his face and ate food, he began to hold meetings, holding all kinds of meetings, until eleven o'clock in the evening, and even staying up until the early morning of the next day is common, after all, Wang Ye is the project chief engineer of the missile boat, and all the sub-projects have to be paid attention to, which consumes a lot of energy.

However, although tired is a little tired, it is tired and happy, because the progress of the missile boat project is still very optimistic on the whole.

After all, those who can be selected and transferred by the ministry to participate in the missile boat project are all the top people of various shipbuilding units across the country, coupled with Wang Ye's cross-era technical guidance, it is natural that extraordinary scientific research capabilities can explode.

It's a pity that Wang Ye's quitting plan failed temporarily.

There is no other reason, in this era, for these old scientific researchers, smoking is an indispensable project, and some time ago, because Wang Ye matched the coffee cooperation project between Caiyun Province and Tanzania, so Caiyun Province specially engaged in a batch of their specialties in order to thank Wang Ye for his help, which is naturally unbearable.

Several wagons of cigarettes are of very high quality, so Wang Ye waved his hand, and during the work meeting, cigarettes can be supplied in unlimited quantities like tea, and for a while, these old cigarette guns were all excited, and even caused the progress of the work to seem to speed up a little, and the disadvantage was that the entire conference room seemed to be on fire, with a thick smoke.

"No, tell the people in the factory office that you can't open the supply so openly."

"Rationing! Be sure to ration it! ”

"Otherwise, the lungs will be damaged at that time, and I, the factory director, can't afford this responsibility, and one by one they are not young, why don't they take care of their bodies at all?"

"All of them have to be healthy, and it is best to live to be one hundred and twenty years old, and go to work every day."

"Otherwise, I spent my old nose hard, gave up my money and face, and transferred the big guys from all over the country with all my hard work, and I couldn't do it in two days because I smoked too much, isn't this a big loss?"

"Ahem, ahem, go to the warehouse and find a few electric fans, and blow these smoke for us."

Accompanied by Wang Ye's voice, some of the scientific researchers who did not leave the conference room laughed, and some pretended to shake their heads and sigh, in fact, with their treatment in the Red Star Consortium, cigarettes are basically smoked as much as they want, and there is no situation where they can't afford to smoke, so the free supply of cigarettes is just a little fun in life.

Now it's in limited supply, in fact, it's nothing, but everyone feels that Wang Ye, the factory director, cares about himself and others, and even some of them are smoking, and they also extinguished their cigarette butts with a smile.

"Director, a telegram from Tanzania!"

Just as Wang Ye and a group of people were chatting in the conference room, a staff member walked to the door, knocked lightly on the open door and said.

"Take it, I'll take a look."

Hearing his voice, Wang Ye beckoned and said.

The staff member had already walked in, and handed the telegram to Wang Ye a moment later, and the other people next to Wang Ye also consciously moved out of the way, out of the way where they could see the telegram, obviously saying that they would not peek at the telegram.

After receiving the telegram, Wang Ye first looked at the sending unit, which was the Iron Fist Security Company.

Then Wang Ye quickly skimmed through the telegram, and the number of words in the entire telegram was not much, unlike the telegrams sent by Wang Ye and Kikwete in the past, where hundreds or even thousands of words had to be written.

In this telegram, Zhao Liang, the general manager of Iron Fist Security Company, said a total of three things.

First things first.

At 9 o'clock in the morning of April 15 local time in Tanzania, Iron Fist Security Company will begin to carry out the largest military mission since its creation, that is, to Saudi Arabia for security defense.

The first batch of security personnel sent to the past numbered about 12,000 and was organized into 22 battalions.

As for armament, the 22 battalions set out carrying only individual combat weapons, while heavy tanks and other weapons and equipment, such as tanks, armoured vehicles, anti-aircraft weapons, artillery, etc., were provided by the employer, Saudi Arabia.

There are two reasons why this is the case.

The first reason is that the establishment of the Iron Fist Security Company is too short, and the relevant heavy and mechanized equipment is not yet fully ready, and Saudi Arabia can't wait, so it can only set off in a hurry, at least this group of people arrives in Saudi Arabia, even if they don't start military operations immediately, it can also become a deterrent, anyway, this is the idea that Sattler has hit, and recently he has been sending telegrams every once in a while, hinting at Wang Ye that the Iron Fist Security Force can be pulled out.

The second reason is that Saudi Arabia has a lot of money and a lot of weapons in stock, which is enough to equip more than 12,000 people.

And these stockpiles of weapons are divided into three sources:

The first source is a normal stockpile, after all, which country must not have a little stock, just in case.

The second source is additional purchases, since the start of the armed attacks last fall, Saudi Arabia's defenses have been stretched thin, and it has had to start mobilizing veterans, mercenaries, and even some oil workers from the oil base to form a new oil base security team, and in order to arm these security forces, it is natural that a large number of weapons and equipment will need to be purchased again.

The third source is the assistance of the United States and Western countries, because the United States hopes to control global oil prices, Saudi Arabia is naturally the center of the oil price vortex, in the face of endless armed attacks, coupled with the news that the Iron Fist Security Company has been determined to settle in this spring, the United States naturally has to show some sincerity, so the United States and Western countries, such as Britain and France, donated a large number of old equipment, all of which were drawn from the active army.

In short, the personnel of these Iron Fist security companies have equipment to use, and the quality is not high, but it is indeed not low, basically reaching the scale of the sub-advanced troops in Western countries, just like tanks, and now the United States itself is not equipped with many third-generation M1 tanks, and the United States donated the strongest M60 tanks and M48A5 tanks in addition to M1.

According to Wang Ye's guess, the donation of weapons can go so smoothly without the help of those arms consortia.

After all, the weapons that have already been equipped with the troops will not make sense for the arms consortium, because from these weapons and equipment, it is almost impossible to regain benefits, unless the Hexagon suddenly decides to carry out a unified upgrade and modification of these old weapons, but the probability of such a situation is not high.

But if the Hexagoon donates all these old weapons, wouldn't that be equivalent to freeing up the cage for a bird, and there would be enough "establishment vacancies" to purchase new equipment?

In this way, won't the arms consortium be able to make money again?

In addition to this, there is a second thing on Telegram.

However, this incident is not directly related to the Iron Fist Security Company and the Red Star Consortium, that is, the clearance activities of the United States, Britain and France in the Darfur region of Sudan.

Facts have proved that Wang Ye's previous guess was not wrong, and the United States took its two younger brothers and jumped into the pit.

Darfur is a large part of the country, largely in the middle of the Sudan country, and then borders the western Sudan border, which borders Chad, which is now in the midst of renewed fighting.

In the past, there were two races mixed in this land, the north was the Arabs, who mainly lived by grazing, and the south was the blacks, who mainly lived by farming and agriculture, and although this area was mountainous, the land was very fertile, whether it was farming or grazing, the harvest was actually quite good.

In a sense, Darfur is a very livable area, which is why over the past few decades there have been frequent clashes between Arab and black tribes over land and living space.

But now, with the entry of the troops of the United States, Britain and France, the liquidation of this armed organization called the "Akandi Restoration Congress" seems to have offended all the tribes living here!

In fact, at the beginning, the United States also adopted some soft policies, hoping to cultivate a group of leading party, and then quickly eliminate the Akandi restoration party, but then they found that the locals were too stupid to even do a good job of the leading party, because as long as the troops are close to their tribes, they will be directly alerted, and then open fire to expel them, and the final result is to fight, and most of the people of these tribes are not afraid of death, as long as the gun sounds, either they will wipe out all the American troops, or the American army will wipe them out, There is no third possibility at all.

Therefore, there is no way to the negotiation step.

Even at the stage of negotiations, most of the time it is impossible to determine whether the Belt and Road Party is really the Belt and Road Party, because there have been several cases where the Belt and Road Party has brought US troops into the encirclement, and finally the entire force disappeared into the dense 100,000 mountains of Darfur, and there is not even a pair of pants left, which is very violent.

In the end, after many such encounters, the United States, Britain and France completely gave up looking for the leading party, and even began to implement a barbaric policy here that would rather kill by mistake than let go, and the final result was to offend most of the tribes here.

But it is obvious that these tribes here, taken out alone, are not opponents of the US-British-French coalition.

So, because of this powerful enemy, these tribes who used to fight and kill each other, actually began to unite with the outside world, and because the Akandi Restoration Congress was relatively large in size and strong in combat effectiveness, it was the target of the US-British-French coalition, and it was relatively good at combat command, so the Akandi Restoration Congress became the core and the leader!

In other words, Lao Mei and his two younger brothers have been fighting in Darfur for a month, and this Akandi Restoration Association has not only not gradually declined because of the liquidation, but has become larger and larger!

Outrageous! Outrageous!

As for the third thing, it has to do with Chad.

Because of Cardazo's riotous operation, the United States, Britain and France began to support the counteroffensive of the southern Chadian faction with greater strength, and Cardazo also tried to drag down the footsteps of Western countries and cover for his big brother the Soviet Union, and the support for the northern faction in Chad became more and more powerful, so the northern and southern factions in Chad became puppets manipulated behind the scenes, and the fight was very fierce.

And this fierce war also indirectly led to the hot sales of the consortium pickup trucks in Africa, in exchange for a large number of dollars.

"Tell Zhao Liang to be careful."

"And we must repeatedly emphasize to him that this time we are fighting for money, not for the country, nor for the people, so we have to coax when we should coax, and we have to run when we should run, there is no need to work hard."

"It's best to win, and it's not a shame to not win or even lose."

"Don't have any special psychological pressure, just play normally, I believe that there is absolutely no problem with the military quality of our instructors."

"Of course, strategically you can despise the enemy, but tactically you must pay attention to the enemy."

"The people over there are wilder and can't be measured by our normal people's thinking, so let's be mentally prepared."

In the end, Wang Ye put away the telegram and said a few words to the staff, who nodded and said:

"Yes!"

Then he trotted away, apparently telegraphing back to Iron Fist Security.
