America's Big Hero

"How about it, good people don't have such things as machine guns." Sean smiled and looked at Gustavo.

Gustavo's face was ugly, "Kill, kill them all, these damned drug dealers!"

"Let's watch their performance." Sean smiled and pointed.

In a word, everyone's attention shifted to the three Devil Birds again.

A round of rockets washing the ground didn't actually cause much damage, but more to clean up the environment. The dense explosions left the trees bare, leaking out the drug dealers in the stronghold below.

The incendiary bomb is to take advantage of the environment and force those drug dealers out of their stronghold.

Now is the time to reap human lives.

"Now there are two options. First, use cluster bombs. The advantage is that they are more lethal. Once they are fired, there will be no living people within 200 meters. The disadvantage is that they are expensive."

"The second option is to use machine guns. The advantage is that it is cheap, but the disadvantage is that the killing speed is slow." Sean looked at Gustavo.

Gustavo frowned, did not speak, but looked at the military.

"Machine guns." The air force boss said without hesitation, cluster bombs are too expensive to use!

After receiving the order, the three devil birds pulled up, hovered, adjusted the angle, and opened the cannon.

The same machine gun was completely operated manually during World War II, but it is different in modern times, it is assisted by fire control radar, and manual only needs to be fine-tuned.

The three devil birds crossed from three directions at different times and began to dive and straf. The "boom boom boom" of the cannon exploded, and a straight line of smoke rose from the ground.

The machine gun is still good, but the operator has become a pile of minced meat.

Dive, pull up, hover, continue to dive, pull up...

In fact, the drug dealers on the ground collapsed after two rounds.

If you can't hit, what else can you do if you don't run.

After seven or eight times, there was no living person in the entire drug trafficker camp, only the burning fire and the blood and pieces of flesh on the ground.

After everything was done, the helicopter and the devil bird returned together. As for the drug traffickers' camp, everyone didn't care about it anymore.

Chapter 441: Pablo

Actual combat is the only criterion for testing weapons!

After all the way back to Bogotá airport, everyone re-entered the meeting room. Sean smiled and looked at the high-level Colombian military, "How is it? Are you satisfied with the firepower of the devil bird?"

A group of people in the military looked at the Minister of the Air Force, and the Minister of the Air Force looked at the President before nodding affirmatively, "It's not bad. Compared with armed helicopters, it has more ammunition, more powerful firepower, longer cruising time, and a wider combat radius." Bigger, faster, safer, but not as flexible as a helicopter."

"However, compared to fixed-wing fighters, it is indeed a very backward product. It has no advantages in air combat, even if it encounters second-generation fighters."

Sean is a sensible person with rich experience in umbrella combat, and they didn't think about doing anything by belittling the devil bird.

Everyone's identities are here, it is impossible to do such a thing that loses their status.

Besides, at the level of a country, even if it is commercial behavior, it is not just the business itself.

what?

Umbrella is not a national power?

Yes, the umbrella is stronger than the power of the country!

"Very positive evaluation." Xiao En asked with a smile: "Then, here comes the question, the second-generation fighter jets are no longer available, how much are the third-generation fighter jets?"

"How about the lethality against the ground?"

"How much does it cost per dispatch?"

"How much time and money does it take to train each pilot?"

"Do drug dealers or anti-government armed forces have third-generation fighter jets that can pose a threat to Devil Birds?"

A series of questions were thrown out, and the people in the Colombian military stopped talking. Their responsibility was to objectively evaluate the combat effectiveness and whether it was needed.

Whether to buy, how much to buy, and what price to buy are the president's business.

Sean also introduced several other models of the Devil Bird aircraft, including trainer aircraft, early warning aircraft, patrol aircraft, and reconnaissance aircraft, including many civilian models.

Overall, the turboprop is more practical and useful than a jet fighter for Colombia's current situation.

No matter how good the jet is, it's useless if you can't afford it.

Uh... I can't even afford it.

After completing the mission, the military personnel left, leaving the scene to Sean and Gustavo.

……

While Sean and Gustavo were discussing the new aircraft deal, on the other side, in a mountainous area southeast of Medellin, Pablo received a report from his subordinates.

A drug production stronghold near the capital Bogota was attacked, all equipment and goods were burned, and half of the people died.

Normally, this kind of 'trivial matter' does not need to be sent directly to Pablo. After all, he is the world's largest drug lord, controlling 80% of the world's cocaine production, and the real underground emperor of Colombia.

More than 70% of Colombia's important judges and administrative councilors secretly serve Pablo, as well as the police, middle and low-level government administrators, and so on.

Over the past ten years, thousands of policemen, judges and government workers have been blatantly killed, including 3 presidential candidates.

So, it's really the little things.

"Military action?" Pablo frowned gradually, looking at his subordinates with burning eyes, "Military action, why didn't we get any news?"

The military, Pablo is also related, he was able to run rampant in Colombia for so many years, killing so many high-ranking government officials is still nothing, not only because of the 4 armed men in his hand.

The men shook their heads.

"Then how are you sure it was someone from the military?" Pablo asked again.

"First there were armed helicopters, then fighter jets, incendiary bombs, and machine guns."

Pablo didn't speak, but squinted his eyes and thought for a while. It is true that there is no news from the military, but only the military can dispatch air power near the Colombian capital.

and so……

"Ask me, I need an explanation from the military!" Pablo's face was covered with frost, and his tone was calm with murderous intent.

If the military or the government cannot give him a reasonable explanation, then he will definitely take revenge.

He must never let people think that he is weak.

Once he becomes weak, he is completely finished.

"This... yes!" The subordinates were stunned for a moment, then turned and walked out immediately.

Two hours later, news came through their secret channel that this time it was really not an action by the military.

People from a company in the United States came to promote a new type of aircraft and use actual combat to test the combat effectiveness of the aircraft.

Pablo's expression was stiff, and his lips trembled slightly, which was angry.

The president of the government is so crazy that he dared to use his people to test the combat effectiveness of the aircraft.

Is there any king law?

Is there any law!

Don't think it's weird for a drug dealer to think that way, not at all.

This is Colombia, where drug dealers are so rampant, killing police officers, judges, senior government officials, congressmen, and the president...

Choose money or choose bullets?

This is a multiple-choice question before every Colombian official, and one must be chosen.

Revenge, must be revenge!

Not only to retaliate against the government, but also to retaliate against this American company!

As for which American company it was, Pablo didn't care at all.

What about the big arms companies?

The U.S. government has always wanted to get rid of Pablo, and it took action in 1984. The U.S. military dispatched a large number of planes, carrying 5000 Colombian government troops to attack Pablo’s lair, and colleagues dispatched more than 60 F-16 fighter jets and armed forces. Helicopters conduct air strikes and support.

It's just that the results obtained are rubbish.

Only 150 drug dealers were killed before and after, and more than a thousand people were captured.

The Colombian military has been rotten for a long time. Before taking action, Pablo got the news and ran away early.

A month later, Pablo launched a counterattack, and the anti-narcotics commander-Minister of Justice Lara was shot dead.

In May, more than 5 drug dealers rushed into the building of the Colombian Ministry of Justice, trying to kidnap senior officials from the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, the Supreme Prosecutor's Office and the Anti-Narcotics Police Department who were in a meeting.

More than 400 military and police fought hard to resist, and the two sides once formed a stalemate.Subsequently, 300 drug dealers armed with RPG missiles came to reinforce.The fighting continued until late at night, and it was not until the Colombian Defense Forces joined the fighting that the drug dealers left calmly with 5 judges and 1 police chief.

It's a simple thing to say, but there are many problems that are actually reflected.

When such a major event happened in the capital area, why did the military not dispatch it until the two sides fought for more than ten hours?

What were you doing before?

Why is the road not blocked so that the drug dealers can get the support of the second batch of reinforcements?

This kind of thing can happen, there is nothing Pablo dare not do!

So what about the American, he is really not a dick, the US military has been dispatched, so it's not like he can't help him!

Of course, it's not that he thinks the US military really has nothing to do with him.

His 4 armed men dare not meet with the U.S. military, but this is Colombia, and it is impossible for the U.S. military to send tens of thousands of 10,000+ people here just to clean him up. will allow.

Then the country will really lose the country.

With the U.S. military unable to fully exert its strength, what else is he afraid of?

Just one word!

……

"So it's settled then?"

"Ok!"

After two days of negotiations, Sean reached a preliminary agreement with Colombian President Gustavo.

The 211th, 312th and 611th squadrons of the Colombian military received a total of 25 'Devil Birds' fighter equipment units.

The models are 8 A-types, equipped with relatively advanced night-vision goggles and other night-combat equipment, and can be equipped with a full range of weapons including laser-guided missiles and infrared combat bombs.

The maximum transition range is 3300 kilometers, the combat radius is 1500 kilometers, and the price is 1300 million US dollars.

Six B-types reduced night combat equipment. Although anti-government forces and drug dealers did not have night combat capabilities, government forces did not either... In other words, if there was a night battle, it would only be the devil bird fighting alone.

Therefore, considering the actual situation, only 8 A-types were ordered for night strike deterrence, and at the same time, they can cooperate with small-scale special operations forces.

The price of Type B is only 980 million.

In fact, Sean still wants to sell the A-type, earn more, and the night vision device is only how much.

C-type 6, E-type 5.

There are 12 trainer aircraft, 5 maritime patrol aircraft, 12 reconnaissance aircraft, early warning aircraft, etc.

A total of 54 aircraft were purchased, with a total military purchase amount of US$3 million.

To be honest, it’s really not much. Sean calculates that the cost is 12%, and the gross profit is only 2.6 million. After removing some labor costs, this order only made 2.5 million...

Of course, selling aircraft is a long-term business, and some subsequent maintenance services will earn more.

Grumman only sold so many planes after World War II, and he made money by providing maintenance services for the planes.

Although it is just a turboprop aircraft, Columbia does not have independent maintenance capabilities.

This is the fundamental reason why small countries are unwilling to buy high-end weapons. They can afford them but cannot use them.

no one, no money...

Overall, Sean is satisfied with this trip to Colombia.

Making money is one aspect. The relationship with the Colombian government has been repaired, and the follow-up cooperation with the umbrella has been put on the agenda.

Now is not the past, Sean will not fight and kill a country's government for a few coal mines or gemstone mines.

In other words, the era of fighting and killing has passed.

Enough prestige has been established to infiltrate and cooperate in a more gentle way.
