After explaining some things about material procurement, Wang Yue was taken to an airport in the suburbs by Tasha. Well, this is just an unfinished highway. Because it is close to the coast and far away from the city, the safety here is still It's guaranteed, at least there are no traces of crossfire around.
Tasha brought Wang Yue here to see the two Li-2 transport planes he had ordered before. However, after arriving at the airport, what Wang Yue saw was a dozen Li-2s in the highway service area. Transport aircraft, under the strong sunlight, the exposed aluminum alloy skin of the aircraft is shiny and very beautiful.
A plane was taking off along the highway. Just after it left the ground, it suddenly raised its head, then turned on the afterburner, and suddenly jumped into the sky. On the other side, Wang Yue clearly saw a group of locals queuing up to get on the plane. Wait, wait, talking about that person, are you holding a donkey in your hand?
"Tasha, what is going on?" Wang Yue was also dumbfounded. It seemed that he had only ordered two planes.
"Victor, this is all for you. In order to get these planes in, I had to register an airline in Tripoli and pay a fee of one hundred thousand dollars a year to the western authorities. Let me tell you, this The money must be folded into the price of the plane!" Tasha felt aggrieved and angry, but she was happy in her heart. She hadn't noticed it before, but only after getting this crappy plane did she realize that it was actually a profit. It really has much more potential than China Airlines.
Tasha pulled the Li-2 out of the aviation complex's warehouse. It cost 50,000 dollars apiece, and it was not maintained. The two pilots put fuel in it and drove it over. It was really solid.
There is no need for a professional airport for takeoff and landing, as long as there is a piece of flat land of about the same length, which saves the cost of airport use and maintenance to the greatest extent; high-grade fuel? Are you kidding me? Just get some oil from a local small refinery and put it into the fuel tank. As for the pilot? They are all grandfathers, and they have food, housing, and enough vodka for a few thousand dollars per person per month. The key is that this aircraft is easy to operate. If the pilot is experienced, one person and a student can fly it. The cost is It can be compressed to the greatest extent; besides, this thing is too broken, and the armed forces with anti-aircraft missiles are not willing to deal with this kind of aircraft. In fact, the results after fighting are not as valuable as the missiles.
After careful calculation, Tasha found that the cost of air transportation using this kind of aircraft was very low, safe and reliable, and even saved the mercenary wages and daily losses that must be borne by land transportation. Therefore, some girls with small orders simply used air transportation directly. , fast, safe, low cost, and the key is to make more money.
As for passenger transportation, there is no way. The current situation in Libya is that it is too dangerous to travel on the ground, so the demand for air transportation is very strong. However, the requirements for ground facilities for advanced passenger aircraft are too high. The southern part of Libya is very backward. Where can I fly? There are really too few, but the Li-2 transport aircraft is different. It can fly almost anywhere, so the business is almost unrestricted. As a result, passenger transport has gradually begun.
Tasha has successively brought dozens of planes from China. Now, these can bring her a net profit of hundreds of thousands of dollars every day. Although it is not much, it is stable. There are still many planes. It has been ordered by some tribes. It is cheap, easy to maintain and easy to operate. In the eyes of the tribal armed forces in Libi, it is simply tailor-made for them.
"No problem, but you have to find a pilot to teach me how to fly this thing." Wang Yue didn't know the inside story, but the girl got the plane over so quickly, so it was worth the extra effort. If you let him buy it himself, I guess Don’t even think about getting it done within a few months.
"Victor, do you want to fly by yourself? Do you have any flying experience before?" Tasha thought that Wang Yue bought it for the tribe's armed forces, but she didn't expect that this guy actually wanted to fly by himself.
"Don't worry, I learn things very quickly." Mr. Wang Yue didn't dare to tell the girl that he could learn a foreign language in a day. He had already fully mastered the operation of this kind of aircraft with a computer, right?
"Okay, I'll make arrangements for you. First, find someone to teach you the theory." Tasha saw that Wang Yue was very determined, so she didn't insist. Training pilots is also one of her businesses. Now there is Xiaotwen in the classroom next to her. People were trained there, sent by the tribes who had ordered the planes.
"No, I can just put it into practice." Wang Yue shook his head, theory? Just kidding, I can remember every screw on this thing clearly now. What am I doing in the theory class? I have memorized airframe systems, aerodynamics, radio land-air dialogue, aviation regulations, pilot English spoken, pilot English, engine systems, aircraft control, human control and aircraft judgment, navigation, and aircraft instrument manuals.
"Okay, damn it, Victor, you arrogant guy!" Tasha saw Wang Yue's appraising eyes, and for some reason, her heart palpitated while she was angry.
Immediately afterwards, it was time for Wang Yue to refresh Tasha's knowledge. In just one hour from the moment he stepped into the cockpit of the plane, this guy was actually able to fly the plane by himself. He even cooperated with another old man. Then there was a low-altitude roll, causing yellow sand to roll on the outskirts of Tripoli. Even the western authorities sent people to negotiate, asking them not to do this near the city, as it would cause misunderstandings among various forces in the city.
After getting off the plane, the old pilot smiled and told Tasha that Wang Yue's skills were already superior to his. As long as he did not encounter situations that would test his experience, Wang Yue could fly independently without any problems. This made Tasha look like she'd seen a ghost.
"Tasha, I'm very satisfied. How much do two planes cost?" Wang Yue's calm appearance was actually exciting. When he was in the sky just now, he tested the system and found that the Li-2 transport plane could travel to 1940 with it. Years, and traveling directly from the sky, this is tantamount to unlocking a new way of traveling, and he must be happy.
"A plane costs US$200,000, plus other expenses. Just give me US$500,000." Tasha was a little uninterested. Both major countries have built a lot of these things, and not many of them are still in service. Few. The ones in our country cannot obtain airworthiness licenses from Western countries, so they cannot be sold at a high price. Five hundred thousand dollars for two is already a good price. After all, airplanes mainly rely on parts. Make money after selling.
"No problem. Can the LAG-3 fighter jet be found now?" Wang Yue nodded and asked again.
"There is definitely one, but it is difficult to fly. The aircraft uses a lot of wood and has decayed for decades. Letting the aircraft factory repair it is equivalent to re-manufacturing the body, and the price is definitely not cheap. If you want that What do you want to do? If you want a plane, I can get you some cheap jet fighters. How about the MiG-21? I have an early model in hand, in stock, full of fuel and ammunition. I can give you one for a million dollars. You." Tasha can tell that Wang Yue doesn't always ask for the best when buying things, but only the cheapest.
"Then I'd better consider something else." Wang Yue was a little disappointed. After Yamamoto Kazuki came to power over there in 1940, the Eighth Route Army's air defense pressure increased sharply. He could buy some anti-aircraft artillery and bring it over, but the problem is that even if the anti-aircraft artillery and The artillery shells are given to the opponent cheaply, and the ammunition consumed in one battle is not something they can afford. If you want air defense, in the final analysis, you still need fighter jets.
The Lager-3 fighter is actually not excellent, but among the aircraft I can find at the same time, it is the most suitable. It is simple to operate, has low maintenance costs, and has average performance. It can meet almost all the needs of the Eighth Route Army. As for fighting However, the example of zero war is not the shortcoming of some countries not synchronizing zero war with their allies. In short, in the Asian battlefield, which is worse than poorer, the Lager-3 fighter jet should be enough.
"I'm sorry Victor, in fact, if you want this kind of propeller aircraft, you can definitely find a small factory to customize it. It doesn't have to be an aircraft manufacturer. With the current technology, many factories can produce it. You know, many agricultural machinery factories back then I can help you find the most complex engine and instrument systems when manufacturing this kind of aircraft. When the military planned to build 10,000 aircraft, there must be a large number of spare parts dumped in warehouses in the Ural Mountains." Tasha suggested from the side. , he saw that Wang Yue really wanted the Lager-3 fighter jet, and he still wanted to help this guy.
"How much does it cost to make it ourselves?" Wang Yue's eyes lit up.
"To put it bluntly, it's just a fuselage made of steel and wood. It doesn't have any technical content, and it doesn't have anything valuable. The cost is a hundred thousand dollars. With the addition of engines, instruments, weapons, etc., it can be built for at most two hundred thousand dollars. Yes, I can even customize the fuselage directly from your country, and then bring it to Libya for assembly. Don't mention Victor, it might be possible to sell this kind of aircraft to the black uncles. I also have aircraft manufacturing in Libya. Permit, God, you should praise me, I’m such a clever little guy!” Tasha actually became excited as she spoke.
"If you manufacture it, I will order 200 first. You have to give me a discount, my aviation giant, Tasha." Wang Yue said with a smile.
"Damn it, Victor, tell me, who are you on the line with? Yemen? Sudan? Afghanistan? Myanmar? Where is it? God, it can't be some guy from Libya who wants to participate in the game. Right? I can tell you, the water here is very deep and you are not allowed to participate!" Tasha suddenly became serious and warned Wang Yue very seriously.
"Tasha, don't worry, I won't be reckless. It's too late for me to hide from them. I just want to make a little money. As agreed, if you order the machine body in my country, I hope you can manufacture it in Binzhou. Because that's my hometown." Wang Yue smiled. The whole world was in chaos, but there were shadows of big countries everywhere behind him. Compared with them, he was just an ant. At best, he was ten times more powerful than other ants. times the number of ants.
"Victor, I really believe you. Damn it, I'm just an arms dealer. When did I actually start building my own airplanes? Is this what you Chinese call involution?" Tasha said when she saw Wang Yue. Be sincere and stop worrying about that issue.
