Chapter 762: Integrating Resources

In business, no matter what you sell, there is no reason to give it away for free.

In fact, Gao Guang felt that if the Tirenzhen really couldn't come up with the money, or was unwilling to pay, then all the spoils would be his.

Just think about it this way, how much is an airplane worth, and how much is a Mi-8 worth? Isn't it better to get a few more airplanes than to collect millions in cash?

De Kun obviously also thought about this issue, so he fell into deep thought about the highlight requirement.

The Tirenzhen can destroy the airport, but they cannot completely capture the airport. If they cannot capture the airport, they will not be able to get the planes parked at the airport. When the Tirenzhen has to retreat, they will either send troops to waste time and effort. Destroy the entire airport, or ignore the airport and leave the intact airport and aircraft to the EPLF.

If we drive those planes back and land them at Mekele Airport, let alone whether we have the capability, the key is whether we can keep them.

The Egyptian People's Liberation Army has fighter jets, including Su-27s and MiG-23s. These are aircraft with a certain bombing capacity. Even if the Egyptian People's Liberation Army gets the aircraft back, it will inevitably be destroyed in the end. So it’s better to send a favor and save precious funds.

"We need to think about it and discuss it, but in principle, I agree with your plan to get all the loot."

Dekun spoke, and Jilawotu, who was already a little anxious on the side, said: "I think there is no problem with this plan."

Gao Guang immediately said: "Then tell me how many planes there are at this airport, and the last one is a more accurate number."

"There are four An-12 transport aircraft and four Mi-8 transport helicopters inside. This is a comprehensive airport and an important transport base for the National Defense Forces. There are three battalions attached to protect this airport."

Dekun knows the situation in Ethiopia very well. He talks about all kinds of data casually. Many military deployments were even made by him while he was in office. It must be clear.

"Three An-12s, four Mi-8s, well, let me think about it..."

Gao Guang looked at Lei, who whispered: "Where will the plane land when we get there?"

"Djibouti, land first, then change the livery, and find a commercial airport to place it. It should be fine."

Gao Guang doesn’t know how much an An-12 can be sold for, because it is a very old model and not very big. However, this aircraft is still in service in many countries. Even though it is old, the supply of spare parts is still no problem. of.

One of them must be worth millions of dollars. There is also the Mi-8. Although this is also an old-fashioned helicopter, it has many users and is very common in the world.

It doesn’t matter if you use it yourself or sell it, you won’t lose money.

The rescue operation must be carried out, so these aircraft are the additions to the rescue operation. It is easy to catch rabbits and it is worth doing.

But regardless of transport planes or helicopters, they all need pilots.

"If you don't have a plane, then you should have a pilot."

Dekun thought for a moment and said: "We have pilots, but pilots are very valuable assets. We..."

"Aren't you ready to give up on Mekele? Aren't you planning to enter the mountains to fight guerrillas? Please tell me how to get your supplies?"

Ask questions first, then give solutions

That's it. Gao Guang pointed to his nose and said, "I'll get the plane and place it in Djibouti. Then you will continue to provide weapons, ammunition, and medicines. Think about how useful this will be to you."

Just these words from Gao Guang prompted Dekun to make up his mind.

"Okay, let's talk about combat deployment."

The military style is direct and straightforward. Dekun did not say that he needed to discuss the decision. He pointed directly at the map and said: "Here are our organized troops closest to the airport. They are at the forefront of attacking Addis Ababa." Defense line, I can order this regiment to change the direction of attack and attack this airport."

"What kind of troops do they have any heavy firepower?"

"The motorized infantry brigade equipped with sixteen armored vehicles is very mobile and has about 800 people. It is temporarily resting at this location."

Dekun pointed to a point near the airport, and then he said solemnly: "It's about twenty kilometers away. It only takes two hours for our motorized rifle brigade to reach the attack position."

No matter how the battlefield is going, it is still possible to mobilize a single force to attack an airport that has been cut off.

Dekun continued: "We have about two hundred people near the airport. They carry portable anti-aircraft missiles. We also have a self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery battalion nearby. The purpose is to block the airport. Although there is a lack of offensive power, the aircraft at the airport are indeed not Dare to take off."

You can't just listen to Dekun's words. Gao Guang can verify the authenticity of the news by himself.

"Okay, please tell me the name of this airport."

"Tims Military Airport is located 160 kilometers northeast of Yadis Ababa and close to the Addis Ababa-Djibouti Railway."

Gao Guang glanced at it twice, then he took out the phone and dialed. After waiting for the call to be connected, he said in a deep voice: "Help me take a look at the Tims Military Airport. You must carefully observe the situation at the airport and the surrounding areas. The defense situation, I want to capture this airport.”

The person who answered the phone was Hank. He didn't ask why, but immediately said: "Okay, call a drone to conduct a focused investigation. The results will be available within an hour."

Gao Guang hung up the phone and said to Dekun: "In one hour, our drone will go over and conduct some focused reconnaissance."

Dekun didn't say anything, he just looked a little sad.

In fact, the strength of the Ethiopian National Defense Force is considered good in Africa, but the Ethiopian Air Force lacks aerial reconnaissance capabilities, so that as the commander-in-chief of the People's Liberation Army, Dekun's reconnaissance capabilities are not as good as those of an arms dealer. It is indeed a bit sad. feel.

Gao Guang either wanted to show off, or he really wanted to take action, so he had to take a closer look, so Gao Guang called Tom, and when the call was connected, he immediately said: "Do you know about Tims Military Airport? I want to focus on the situation at the airport.”

Notify Hank that the drone will be transferred there and the airport will be monitored from now on. However, this airport should have been investigated before, and now we only need to refine the previous investigation results and send them over.

Take a look first to understand the general situation, and then

Then focus on investigation and keep monitoring, this is the idea.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Guang said to Dekun: "Now we have a motorized infantry brigade with about 200 light infantry. So what is the difficulty in capturing the airport?"

Dekun was stunned for a while, and finally said: "Time and strength, our attack strength is very tight, the frontline command cannot spare the strength to seize the airport which is of no use to us, because our primary target is Addis Ababa , but you need to rescue the hostages, so we are willing to mobilize precious troops to cooperate with you. "

The words sounded nice, but he couldn't believe them all. Gao Guang nodded and said: "Okay, let's wait until the information is clear before making a decision. If possible, I will send people to airborne, cooperate inside and outside, quickly seize the plane, and then..."

Before he could finish his words, the information terminal began to flash the screen that Gao Guang wanted.

Just like the screenshots in the video, they can also be enlarged, and a military airport must be a key target, so C1's researchers instinctively focused on it.

Before Gao Guang decided to capture the airport, Tom's people had already completed the work.

Gaoguang looked at the screen. Although the enlarged image was not very clear, he could still clearly see the planes parked on the runway and the hangars.

The aircraft are marked with red boxes and their models are indicated.

There are two An-12s parked on the runway, parked next to the runway, indicating that the aircraft are in good condition and should be able to take off. However, there are six large hangars in total, and the conditions inside cannot be seen, but it is not known whether there are any aircraft parked in the aircraft. Curry, and whether these aircraft can fly or are undergoing maintenance and cannot fly.

The point is that there are really three helicopters on the tarmac, and in the footage captured by the drone, there is also a scene of ground crew refueling the helicopters.

It's worth it. This airport is worth a lot.

There is no need to wait any longer. Gao Guang just glanced at it twice, and then said to Dekun: "Let's work together to seize the airport, but we may need to prepare."

Dekun nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, how long do you need."

It's hard to say. It's really hard to say the time. Gao Guang thought for a while and said: "The time is not sure. We have to launch the attack within twenty-four hours, so... let's limit it to twenty-four hours."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

The two shook hands again, and Jilawotu said to Gao Guang: "Your accommodation has been arranged, I will send you there."

Gao Guang had to make a lot of phone calls, so he couldn't stay here forever. He immediately said goodbye and left the headquarters of the Tiren Formation and went to the resting place for them.

There were only sixteen people from the Shadow Mercenary Group, plus seventeen from Lei, which was too few.

Why are there only such a few people? Because this is Ethiopia, not a country that the United States can directly control. If anything happens to active soldiers here, the consequences will be more serious. Magers cannot take this risk: "King's Defense Plus There are only about twenty people in the Shadow Mercenary Group. Relying on these people to seize the airport is really not enough, but it doesn't matter. If there are not enough people, we will recruit people. The strength of Gao Guang is not how good he is in fighting, nor how good the king's defense is. , but

His ability to integrate resources is indeed very strong. "

Just recruit people to find helpers. Gaoguang has a lot of choices. The only thing to consider is time. As long as the person you find can arrive in time, he will definitely be available in terms of ability.

Gao Guang's first thought was the Zhanhuo Group, because the Zhanhuo Group has many troops stationed in the Middle East. There is no problem in temporarily mobilizing them. It doesn't take long to fly over from the Middle East.

But with high-end combat capabilities, Gao Guang felt that the Knight Mercenary Group would not be a pity.

It's better to walk on two legs. Since the military has too many concerns and it's hard to use it, then it's better to use mercenaries and other people from the underground world.

The first call was to Danny, and Danny was, as always, annoying but reliable.

"Brother, I have a business. Send people to Ethiopia to fight a war. A hundred people are enough, but you have to take care of the transportation yourself. Set up an airport. If it succeeds, you can directly land the plane and send the people. Pick it up and go back, but bearable.”

You should be honest about the risks before you say ugly things. Gao Guang has done a good job in this regard.

Danny said without hesitation: "Take it, how much is the commission?"

"Um...20 million?"

"make a deal."

Gao Guang's heart skipped a beat, and he wondered if the price had been quoted too high.

Danny said confidently: "There are less than 100 people. For 20 million US dollars, I can only offer 60 people, but these 60 people can parachute, depart from Iraq, take civilian routes and then change directions. We will bear the risks along the way. Pay first, and I will prepare if you agree."

"Uh, how strong are they? Can I take over the airport?"

"The strength is OK, just the level of ordinary paratroopers. Man, your price is just like this. I can't send you 60 special forces, then it's not this price."

"Okay, you prepare first, I'll wait for intelligence, if there are not enough people, we will add more, so let's keep in touch."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Guang was a little uneasy, because he suspected that his offer was too high. Only five planes were confirmed, and it was hard to say whether these five planes were worth 20 million.

"It's careless!"

Gao Guang, who was very annoyed, said to several people around him: "The offer is too high. If you offer 20 million, you may have to pay."

But after saying that, Gao Guang immediately found a reason to comfort himself.

"But there is no other way. We must first ensure that Leon and the others are rescued. It will be difficult to do it without enough manpower, so we have to spend the money."

It should be enough to have the people of the War Group to capture the airport, but the problem is that capturing the airport is only the first step in the plan. The next step is to rescue people, and the rescue operation requires high-end combat power.

Looking at Lei, Gao Guang hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "In this situation, we still have a shortage of manpower, so... I will ask the Knight Mercenary Group for help, Lei, do you have any objection?"

Lei raised his eyebrows, he was a little surprised.

Having not yet joined forces with the Knight Mercenary Group, Lei was indeed not very comfortable with the determination of the First Mercenary Group, but after thinking about it, he nodded and said: "No objection, come, let's compete."
