Chapter 308: Strength in the Base
Sunday, January 5th, near nine o'clock in the evening, at Mei Dai Restaurant.
"In Shi Feng's African base, the ones that can really be called combat power and deterrent," Miyamoto Miko said with a smile, "are four Huo Xiu's Longbow 4 gunships."
"So, it has been updated?" You Xizi asked with a smile, "Then who did you sell the original one to, Zayier?"
"Yes. In fact, it can be upgraded, but I think it has been used for seven or eight years, and it is better to replace it with a new one. It happened that the dictator in Zayer wanted it, and he sold it to him with the consent of the Americans. .”
"The four Longbow-1 armed helicopters were bought in 1986. At that time, we also bought 20 sets of mounted missiles for actual combat, 20 sets of ammunition belts for actual combat, and 40 sets of mounted missiles for training. Missiles and 40 sets of ammunition belts for training. Later, I bought the same number of mounted missiles and ammunition belts for training, and also bought a batch of consumables such as heat induction, and the missiles and ammunition belts for actual combat So far none of them have been used.”
"Among the missiles used in actual combat, four groups are quadruple Hellfire missiles. At present, an eight-unit Longbow Hellfire missile has been developed, which can be mounted on Longbow IV gunships and upgraded longbow missiles. The top of the Bow-1 gunship. When I bought the Longbow-1 gunship, two of them were mounted with two sets of 19-mounted rocket launchers and two sets of Stinger missiles, and the other two were mounted with It's two sets of seven rocket launchers and two sets of four Hellfire missiles."
"Considering practicality, if the fight is launched in Africa, it will be more targeted at personnel, so when it was sold to the dictator, the base used four groups of nineteen-unit gunships mounted on the Longbow-1 armed helicopter. The rocket launcher was replaced with four quadruple Hellfire missiles." Miko Miyamoto smiled, "And the other mounted missiles and ammunition chains for actual combat were not sold to him."
You Xizi smiled and said, "A profiteer."
"What are you talking about? He made it clear when he sold them that the four planes were discounted and he bought them voluntarily. He would rather spend a lot of money on luxury yachts than spend more on longbow gunships. It is an expensive weapon. In Africa, longbow gunships are more used to scare people, otherwise, if they get too close, they will be shot down by stinger missiles and other weapons used by individual soldiers, and it will be a big loss." Gong Motomiko smiled, "By the way, by the way, the Brooklyn shipyard that built luxury yachts for him has my shares."
You Xizi smiled and said, "Great profiteer."
"Who earns it, isn't it earning it?" Miko Miyamoto smiled, "By the way, there is another fun thing."
"What is it?" Yuuki asked.
"When I bought the Longbow-1 gunship in 1986, I paid the Americans to send it to the base with the McGonagall 17 experimental transport plane. That transport plane can only transport three Longbow-1 gunships at a time. , so it took two shipments to complete. In 1993, the base flew the Dream, which is the Anto 225 transport aircraft. Its cargo compartment was designed for transporting rockets, and its shape was very flat. The overall length is more than 140 feet, the width of the baseboard is about 21 feet, and the maximum height is more than 14 feet. The height of the Longbow IV gunship without the Longbow radar is less than 13 feet, and the main rotor is added. The length of the helicopter is less than sixty feet, and all four can be loaded, and there is still a lot of empty space. In addition to the modified Hercules transport plane that went together, four helicopters and 20 groups of combat aircraft can be transported at one time. Mounted missiles and ammunition chains, forty sets of missiles and ammunition chains for training, as well as installers and instructors have all been installed back."
Miyamoto Miko said with a smile: "The American colonel in charge is about to drop his eyeballs.
Very interesting. "
"..." You Xizi was speechless, and then asked, "Why didn't the Americans detain the Dream number?"
"What's the point? The Yume is a product of the late 1980s, and it's not impossible to make it with American technology." Miko Miyamoto said, "The Yume is used to transport space shuttles and other rocket equipment. The G17 transport aircraft is more in line with the war needs of the US military."
"It seems so." Yukiko said.
"One helicopter can mount four sets of missiles and one belt. The base now has forty sets of mounted missiles and belts for actual combat. The belt can be used ten times by four helicopters, and the missile can only be used twice. Half, the words on the battlefield are a little less, but in Africa, it is definitely enough as a deterrent."
"The west of the base is a training camp built in 1985, which can accommodate 5,000 people." Miko Miyamoto said, "So far, the base has adopted nearly 10,000 orphans, and more than 80% of them are women."
"No way?" Yukiko asked, "So much, yet so unbalanced?"
"There's a reason for that," Miko Miyamoto said, "you'll know it when I tell you."
"Before 1983, due to traffic problems, all the orphans from Zayir in the towns near the base were adopted. The number was about 500, and the ratio of male to female was about the same. In Angra, where the civil war broke out in Sudan in May, Sudan was added. After July 1985, Uganda was added. After the Uganda civil war ended in January of the following year, there was no going there. In the same year, The Zayir army suddenly joined the Angra civil war, and with the weapons and equipment provided by the Americans, helped the Angra alliance supported by the Americans win the Angra civil war, so Shifeng Security did not go to Angra."
"In 1990, the Luwanda civil war broke out, and he was added to the scope. In the same year, the Zayir army entered Sudan under the banner of helping African blacks. In the second year, the Republic of South Sudan was established, and Sudan gave up. Yes. Blonde was added in 1993. So by the beginning of 1994, a total of more than 1,600 orphans had been adopted, with an equal ratio of male to female." Miko Miyamoto said, "In April 1994 The Rwanda massacre that shocked the world occurred. The Zayer Army responded to the call of the United Nations and entered Rwanda to stabilize the situation. Shi Feng Baoquan adopted more than 8,000 people from Rwanda and the Rwandha refugees who entered Zayer. Orphans, most of them girls, boys are the first to be killed."
"So that's how it is. I've also heard about that incident. In less than a month, nearly 500,000 people died, which is really tragic." Youxizi said, "I think 8,000 orphans are too few. Should be more."
"These orphans are under the age of five, and it is not easy to survive. After adopting these people, the population of the base has just reached the upper limit of 10,000 people. The remaining people can only say that The base is gone." Miko Miyamoto said, "Because of this, in 1995, the base stopped adopting orphans."...
