Chapter 447: Respective Preparations
At the Mexico City Airport in Mexico, a Boeing 747-8 cargo plane was landing on the airport runway in the cover of night.
The whole body was painted black, still with the help of the night.
Apart from the flashing warning lights on the fuselage, this pitch-black behemoth can only be seen when it lands!
Moreover, although it is a civilian aircraft, it has obviously undergone many modifications, and one can even see external missiles!
This made the staff at the Melbourne Airport, who only received the communication signal but had no radar response at all, gasp in astonishment.
"Wow, the radar didn't respond, and there are missiles installed? A transport plane turned into a bomber?"
"The structure of the aircraft itself is very important. It is very difficult to make any small changes, but Umbrella did it and it can still fly very steadily."
"Wow, they are all missiles that can be used to shoot kangaroos. Awesome!"
"Haha, let those Gauls still show off!"
“…”
Umbrella's status in Mexico continues to improve over time!
You know, some of Umbrella's factories have begun to expand, and the number of jobs they provide is frightening.
And after the local merchants were driven away, the farms were also planted with the materials needed by Umbrella.
For small countries, a sudden surge in profits can easily make people feel the overall improvement in living standards.
It's like building a factory next to a backward village so that the villagers can go there to work and earn much more than before.
To put it bluntly, ordinary people feel these things most deeply, so when speaking publicly, Mexico stood on the side of Umbrella without hesitation, and this time also agreed to Umbrella's use of the airport.
Now that Umbrella has been deeply integrated into Mexico, there is not much difference between dealing with Umbrella and dealing with Mexico itself.
But after all, this is a civilian airport. Although Umbrella's special forces guard it to ensure safety, there are some situations that cannot be avoided...
In addition to the airport staff, there were several strange passengers who were continuously filming the plane landing.
The external missile was also photographed.
Damn it!
They have clearly demonstrated such excellent stealth capabilities, but you still delivered this large aircraft to the other side.
The direct transport aircraft turned into a stealth bomber!
What the hell!
The B-2's bomb load is only 23 tons.
How can we do this?
But they are just intelligence personnel, silently sending back information, and they are completely powerless to do anything else...
…
"Shit! Look what those upstarts have done!"
Because of the information sharing, Gaul also received the information and images sent by Da Piaoliang.
Just lie there and do nothing.
Stealth bomber?
There is only one such person in the world!
So Umbrella just modified the transport plane?
You are exaggerating too much!
Previously, after Umbrella's missiles were launched from helicopters, someone noticed the problem with the batch of 747-8s they purchased.
The helicopter is already hung out, so why not hang up a transport plane and it will not take off?
But the idea at the time was to fly the 747 outside the defense zone and then launch a stealth hypersonic missile.
It is indeed difficult to deal with and has a fatal blow to the fleet.
But now even airplanes have become invisible? !
How can such a large structure be made invisible?
Just look at the accident rate of B2.
The cost is 2.4 billion US dollars. For the sake of stealth performance, the structure is obviously not in line with the normal aircraft structure, so various faults are prone to occur during landing and takeoff, and the control mainly relies on system adjustment.
But look at others, they just buy a ready-made plane at one tenth of the price and tinker with it and it comes out.
Airbus wanted to grab this order in the first place. If they really sell Airbus planes, wouldn’t they be hurting themselves?
"According to the intelligence shared by Da Piaoliang, it is a stealth coating. They are now modifying some high-power radars in order to burn through the coating. At the very least, they can heat up the aircraft and then use passive radar to lock it."
In order to deal with this invisible thing, several major arms dealers cooperated under the arrangement of the organization and quickly produced some goods and prepared to support Gaul.
No matter what, there is no doubt that Da Piaoliang's scientific research level is indeed there!
Passive radar is specifically designed to receive signals such as infrared rays to make corresponding judgments. Although it has various limitations, it is also one of the means to deal with stealth aircraft.
The first stealth fighter jet was shot down because of its passive radar.
And because of the sun's interference, this kind of thing works even better at night.
Although this system is difficult to use and has great limitations, it is not very effective against hypersonic missiles because the speed is too fast and the reaction time is not enough.
But if we just want to deal with bombers, there is still a chance.
Although Gaul was cursing, he still accepted Da Piaoliang's kindness.
In fact, they knew that Da Piaoliang was just trying to test the effect and let herself rush headfirst.
But because it involves their core interests, they have to go ahead this time.
I just don’t believe that your company can outstrip your country!
However, preparation still takes some time. Right now Gaul is mainly relying on public opinion, and fighter jets are beginning to be mobilized using their own military bases in Africa.
That’s right, they are not planning to deploy the aircraft carrier this time, using the excuse that the aircraft carrier is undergoing maintenance.
This nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has often had various problems. Is the maintenance normal?
It doesn't matter whether it's true or not, anyway, it's said like this...
…
Regardless of Gaul's preparations , Umbrella began the allocation and transportation of supplies step by step.
The 747 docked at a civilian airport with its bombs extended, exposing its stealth capabilities, all in an effort to delay time!
If Gaul does not deploy its navy, it will be a very cumbersome task to mobilize it, even if they have many bases in Africa.
During this time, Umbrella can also do a lot.
While mobilizing personnel and materials, they have also been trying to appease and win over the Congolese authorities.
At the same time, on the other side, representatives from Umbrella flew directly to Maple Leaf Country and came to a company in Maple Leaf Country.
First Quantum Minerals Inc.
"I knew you would come. If you want to spend money through commercial means, then please go back. We will not sell it, no matter how much money you offer."
The president of First Quantum Minerals received the Umbrella delegation without any surprise when he heard from the front desk that they were visiting, and he sighed helplessly as soon as they met.
They have mining rights to many minerals in Congo, including a copper and silver mine, the Dikurush copper and silver mine.
Although it is not a very rich mining area, with a total reserve of 1.9 million tons of ore, after the price of silver has skyrocketed, it has undoubtedly become a hot commodity.
The status of First Quantum itself has also risen.
But at the same time, because they control this mining area, they have received double warnings from Maple Leaf and Da Piaoliang.
This is a strategic material that affects national security. If it is to be sold or changed, it must be approved.
Especially Umbrella was mentioned by name.
Umbrella likes to spend money, and they are afraid that this kind of mineral capital will not stand the test.
As expected, they really came with sincerity!
Umbrella owns many silver mines in Mexico, which is actually enough to meet its own needs.
But since there are silver mines in Congo, they naturally cannot be wasted.
This place is connected to the abyss. The consumption of building the mage tower itself is only one of them. There will inevitably be new consumption in the future. It is very important to have a supply point nearby.
After all, it is not convenient for Umbrella to destroy the rainforest, and the cost of transporting it in is still very high.
"You said that commercial channels are not possible, so does that mean there are other ways to solve the problem?"
Li Yao was wearing a representative vest and looking at the opposite side with a smile.
Capitalists are all very cunning , and sometimes, warnings are really not a good idea.
"For example, if you threaten me and I am worried about my safety, and if the price is high enough, I am willing to give up the ownership of the mining area and return it to the Congolese authorities. "
When he said this, the CEO of First Quantum also carefully glanced at the other person's face, and when he saw no reaction, he continued.
"In addition, we want to enter new areas and open some offline sales outlets, such as selling cars, but we still lack high-quality products..."
When the benefits are big enough, what does a warning mean?
We didn't want to sell it, we were forced to do it!
And we are not selling it, we are just returning it to the authorities. After all, this is someone else's territory, and it is none of my business who they give it to next!
As for why I was suddenly able to get the sales rights?
Let's put it in perspective. This is a business deal with another subsidiary. Don't make too many connections...
