From arms dealer to king of war

There are many types of ‘contractors’…

Contracting for everyday tasks in the military is also one of them, and does not necessarily require participation in combat.

All services in this public area are completed by ‘contractors’.

For example, if you want to contract a barber shop, it is very simple...

No matter how many people you have, as long as you have a good relationship with the person in charge of the base and promise to cut the hair of the soldiers in the base once a month, you can get the right to operate.

As for how to make a profit, that's your own business.

The hairdressing contractor at the base is a Thai. This guy sounds effeminate, but his brain is definitely useful. If he can't make money from haircuts, he will help mercenaries trim their beards and give them massages.

Get a few masseurs from home and make a lot of money by doing some marginal work.

The bar contractor is a Scotsman, the coffee shop contractor is an Italian, the dry cleaner contractor is an Indian, and the tailor shop contractor is a Malaysian.

Only the gun shop is owned by P.B. A few sniper girls who were a little tired of staying in Afica came here to take charge of the gun shop's business, help the mercenaries maintain their guns, and sell the boss's high-quality firearms.

The 'contractor' of the supermarket is a Chinese, because Chinese people have the advantage of being close to the logistics center, and they can always get a lot of goods at low prices.

After paying a security deposit of US$10,000 to P·B, the owner here operates the supermarket and pays a monthly rent of US$2,000.

Qiao Jia chatted with the supermarket owner...

This guy is from the Northeast. He couldn't find it in his hometown, so he took his wife and joined the labor dispatch team that went abroad to work.

He and Qiao Jia were in similar situations. They both discovered business opportunities when they went out to work. However, Boss Qiao was not doing legal business at the time, while he was working in a supermarket...

In the past, he followed the team of the energy group everywhere. Whenever more than 200 workers were dispatched, he would open a small supermarket near the construction site to sell some Chinese goods. The business was surprisingly good.

This guy is shaking now. Taking advantage of the energy group's development in Iraq, he opened six supermarkets in a row, and finally even opened the supermarket into the Baghdad base.

Qiao Jia didn't know how he marked the prices in supermarkets outside, but the prices in this base were outrageous.

Most of the basic daily necessities are very cheap, but Zhonghua costs 20 US dollars a pack and Moutai costs 600 US dollars a bottle. Qiao Jia feels that anyone with such a price should be jailed.

But just by looking at him, you can tell that those mercenaries are very easy to make money!

Qiao Jia couldn't help but admire this Northeast man...

Frankly speaking, it is not easy for Chinese people to live abroad!

It would be even more difficult for this old man to come to Iraq with his family and make a fortune!

Seeing the cheerful look of this northeastern man, Qiao Jia also became happy, and then emptied his inventory of tobacco and alcohol, which were not cheap even if they were discounted in half, and asked him to send them directly to P.B.'s dormitory.

It wasn't until Qiao Jia left that the old man from the east realized that he seemed to have met P·B's legendary boss.

Because there are not many Chinese people in P.B. There are only a bunch of cooks in the cafeteria and a team of fake foreigners who speak fluent Chinese. The only one left is the legendary 'Jackal'...

Seeing Qiao Jia and Dorian leaving, the Northeast man searched for P·B's information on the Internet. When he saw Boss Qiao in the photo, he patted his head in annoyance...

Then the clever man glanced at the monitor above his head, turned around and took a screenshot on his computer of a picture of him chatting and laughing with Boss Qiao, printed it out, and posted it behind the cashier.

He didn't want to use Boss Qiao's name for anything, and he didn't dare. He just felt that with such a photo, those mercenaries who looked scary could be a little more polite.

The changes in the base made Qiao Jia a little overwhelmed, but these changes were all good.

Originally, Boss Qiao's idea for this base was to use it as a transit center. Now that the base has developed like this, it is actually better than he expected.

If other bases in the north can follow suit in the future, the value of this north-south corridor will be amplified.

Relying on the sense of security provided by the military base will greatly improve the business conditions in Iraq. With the deterrence of the soldiers in the base, at least they will not worry about being robbed as soon as they pay for the goods.

Qiao Jia walked and stopped all the way, and after fully experiencing the prosperity of the 'Business District', he boarded the bus again and headed to the location of the Air Force.

How long has it been? Boss Qiao doesn’t know what happened to these two precious old men, ‘Archerfish’ and ‘Cobra’. He has to go and take a look...

They have been the main source of consumption at the base recently, and I don’t know if there are any enemies in Iraq. It is worth sending two jet fighter sorties every day...

Boss Qiao was not here before, but now that he is back, he has to go and see it on the spot. This waste of money is a bit excessive.

When Dorian drove into the air force area, Qiao Jia saw that Andre with small glasses was actually commanding a group of ground crews to hang bombs on two Su-25s and two F-16s at night.

After the car approached, Qiao Jia discovered that two AGM-12 "Little Bulldog" air-to-ground missiles had been mounted under the wings of the two F-16s.

This thing is more than 4 meters long, and it looks scary.

This thing has been basically abandoned by the US military, so 20 rounds of "Little Pitbull" were sent with the first batch of sponsorship at the beginning of the Iraq war.

As soon as this thing arrived, Qiao Jia knew that it was money laundering by people from the Navy.

They dare to "reimburse 2 million" for such an old-fashioned thing.

But for Qiao Jia, it is free after all, so of course he happily accepts it.

The accuracy of the 'Little Bulldog' is average and requires the pilot to manually aim, during which the aircraft's nose must always be aimed at the target.

This is far inferior to the performance of today's precision-guided missiles that can be thrown away and ignored, penetrating outside the defense zone.

But you can't resist its power. Just look at its length of 410 centimeters and its diameter of 60 centimeters. You will know that this guy's explosive power is amazing.

Qiao Jia didn't know what they wanted to do, so he opened the door and got out of the car, walked behind Andre with small glasses, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Who are you trying to blow up?"

Andre, who was wearing little glasses, was shocked...

Turning around and seeing the boss coming, Andre hugged Qiao Jia in surprise and said, "Boss, he is from Isis.

In the past few days, the US military in Syria has been shrinking and has also ordered the Kurds not to take action.

Now Isis is taking this opportunity to attack the safe zone like crazy. The 'vanguards' of team B have not been having a good time recently, and their shells have been consumed too much.

He wants us to organize a raid to knock out Isis' stronghold. "

After hearing this, Qiao Jia frowned and nodded...

The power of the cannon is absolutely superb, but if you want to accurately hit the moving skirmishers, it is a bit difficult for them, and the shells are not cheap...

Moreover, the artillery cannot leave the safe zone, so it cannot attack targets 40 kilometers away. Therefore, it can only rely on the air force to carry out precision strikes.

Hearing that there was a problem in the safety zone, Qiao Jia nodded decisively and said: "Then don't save it, hang two cluster bombs."

As he spoke, Qiao Jia glanced at the Su-25 not far away. There were three 20-round rocket nests hung on the two wings of the thing, as well as two homing bombs. It was terrifying to look at.

Thinking about the issue of the safe zone, Qiaojia felt that Isis's sudden increase in offensive was certainly not unreasonable. The shrinkage of the US military in Syria should be related to those in the United States.

On the one hand, it encouraged the Shah to intervene in Iraq, trying to cause trouble for P.B., and at the same time, hedging against Iran's increasing influence on Iraq.

On the one hand, it has reduced its military strength in Syria to create opportunities for Isis people to attack.

These guys have gone to great lengths to trap Boss Qiao in Iraq.

Thinking about the fact that these four planes would drop millions upon the ground once they take off, Qiao Jia shook his head depressedly and said, "Blow it up, blow it up. If you blow them all up at once, you will be scared, and you will save money later." Clicked."

Andre is an industry insider, and he knows best how much the Air Force consumes.

Personnel wages, aircraft maintenance, parts replacement, ammunition consumption, fuel consumption, P.B.'s Air Force has been busy with tasks recently, so it costs at least several million dollars a month.

This is still the case when everyone comes here leisurely, and the Toucan and Griffon-1 are dispatched for ordinary tasks.

If it weren't for the need to cross the border to Syria for a raid this time, they would not dispatch the F-16.

How can a normal military contracting company withstand such consumption?

After Qiao Jia visited the process of hanging bombs, he helped check the plane and learned that the two old aces were recuperating. He simply did not disturb them and returned to his dormitory with a heavy heart...

As a result, Qiao Jia saw a strange scene when he arrived at the door of the dormitory.

The old guy 'Spider' slowly descended from the top of the 5-story building to the third floor through a rope. When he approached a dormitory window and was about to take out something, Dorian, who was driving, suddenly rang the vehicle button. of speakers...

Then all the lights in the dormitory building came on...

The 'Spider' hanging outside the dormitory turned to look at Dorian. He threw a smoke bomb in the direction of the car, and then completed the rappelling with one hand before the people in the dormitory could react...

When the smoke bomb enveloped the car, the 'Spider' rushed to the side of the off-road vehicle, pulled open the door and reached out, but found nothing.

This made 'Spider' feel a little strange. He glanced at Boss Qiao who was sitting in the passenger seat and raised his hands to indicate that he would not participate. Just when he was about to say hello, he felt two hands grabbing his ankles...

"I caught him, come down and fuck him..."

Qiao Jia heard Dorian yelling as he hid under the car, and then saw a cold smile on the face of 'Spider'...

Knowing in his heart that Dorian was going to be unlucky, Qiao Jia grinned harmlessly and said, "Take it easy..."

"ah……"
