Victor's "project" was indeed big enough, and Qin Fei almost choked to death when he opened his mouth.
"Cough cough cough——"
Qin Fei was choked with tears.
"Victor, what did you say!?"
He thought there was something wrong with his ears and he heard wrongly.
"I want to use your northeast corner of the land to build a small military airport." Victor said seriously.
"Holy shit -" Qin Fei couldn't help expressing his surprise with foul language, "Are you sure you're not joking?"
"No." Victor said, "The modification of the SU-27 this time reminded me of something. I transported the parts here to assemble them, but I could only assemble the main body, and I had to use a large train to pull the aircraft.
The military airport in Asmara was handed over for use, not to mention the huge cost of getting there and back, and finding a vehicle that can pull a plane in such a ghost place is actually harder than finding a white rhinoceros."
"I have a lot of space. You can also use the northeast corner to build. I just have a question." Qin Fei said: "You have to know that I only rented this base, but it has a longer usage period.
But building an airport is no small matter, and this matter must be approved by the military."
"Lawrence, I'll handle it, but you go and apply." Victor said, "I won't be involved in anything. I'm only responsible for the funds, ground handling, technology and personnel. You can handle the construction yourself."
"You won't come forward?" Qin Fei didn't understand.
"Yes, I won't show up." Victor said with certainty.
He wants to build the airport himself, but he doesn't come forward?
What does it mean?
Suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred, and Qin Fei seemed to understand.
Letting a world-famous arms dealer build a small military airport within its own territory is certainly not something that the country's top officials would be willing to do.
Arms dealers are not arms manufacturers. Traffickers sell everything and to anyone.
Although Victor is famous, his reputation is not very good.
Once the Ministry of National Defense officially agrees to do this, various international organizations and even some countries involved in arms transactions will launch strong protests against the Ecuadorian military and even the government.
It is absolutely damaging to the international image.
But applying by yourself is different. After all, I am the boss of the Gray Rabbit Defense Company of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, a serious PMC company. When Tiyo Camp was founded, it was also a regular PMC company training base. Now I want to apply to build an airport.
, which can be explained by training purposes.
Victor is a man as clever as a ghost, and very cunning. He has already calculated everything.
Recently, Qin Fei's X mercenary group has become very popular in Africa and has also shown its face in Europe. In two days, Qin Fei and these team members will go to Stockholm in the name of Gray Rabbit Defense Company to receive royal awards at the royal palace there.
, its advertising effect is self-evident, and business will definitely be booming.
In this way, it is of course logical to increase training camp facilities, and everything will fall into place.
No one would doubt the under-the-table deal between Qin Fei and him. Even if someone did, there was nothing they could do because there was no evidence.
For Victor, building an airport in Tiyo is an absolute cost-saving good thing.
Not only that, the airport facilities must have hangars, maintenance warehouses, etc. Qin Fei can almost guess that Victor will definitely use this place as an intermediate warehouse for his African weapons sales in the next step.
It can almost be said that it is the most important warehouse.
This guy probably wants to completely expand his arms business in Africa. Maybe it will be like a mass-market warehousing supermarket. He will first transport the arms to Tiyo and store them, and then all the countries or armed factions involved in the war in Africa will ask for what they want.
Weapons are marked off on the list just like ordering food, and Victor can pack them in boxes here and ship them to customers through various secret channels.
wonderful!
What's even better is that Tiyo is a mercenary training camp. There are numerous signed mercenaries training or vacationing here all year round. They are virtually equivalent to an efficient fighting force. Who dares to come here to cause trouble?
What's more, Qin Fei also has an entire powerful reconnaissance platoon with full firepower, and the people responsible for guarding the surrounding areas are members of the regular army sent by the Ministry of National Defense.
If you look across Africa, you can't think of a better location.
"Old fox!" Qin Fei raised his finger and tapped Victor in the air a few times: "What good do I do?"
"Purchase weapons and ammunition at a preferential price, eliminating the need for transportation costs. Free weapon maintenance. We only charge you the cost price and I will deliver the labor. Also, you can use the aircraft at my airport for free. Of course, if you damage it,
You have to compensate according to the price, but I won’t rip you off and will only charge you the original price.”
Victor was indeed an excellent arms dealer. He immediately listed many benefits that Qin Fei could not refuse, and then said: "More importantly, I will give you generous rent and price for using your land."
I guarantee your satisfaction.”
"Then you tell me and I'll listen and see if your numbers can impress me." Qin Fei said.
Victor stretched out five fingers and waved his palm in front of Qin Fei's eyes.
"Five million?" Qin Fei asked: "US dollars?"
"What? Not satisfied?" Victor said.
Qin Fei frowned and thought about it.
Five million U.S. dollars, plus no labor costs for maintenance and repairs, only paying for parts, and discounts on weapon purchases, it's really good when you think about it.
Building an airport takes up almost one-third of its land, but currently, leaving two-thirds for the camp is enough, and the remaining space is a waste.
Thinking about it again, in the future, if the X mercenary group grows bigger and Tiyo camp expands, an airport will actually be needed.
That way, students don't have to go to the MI-8 for skydiving training. At least they can buy an old transport plane, and dozens of people can skydive at a time. This is also a good thing in terms of cost savings.
What's more, Qin Fei always remembered the secret conversation he had with Mr. An in the study room of the courtyard in the capital.
What he has to do now is to increase the strength of the X mercenary group.
Victor had presented himself with such a great opportunity, so why not use it?
Since there are many benefits, there are certainly no disadvantages.
What are the disadvantages?
If Victor is involved in some trouble, his camp will probably be implicated, but the chance is not high. After all, Victor has been in this business for many years and is already an old man. He knows how to
He avoids risks and his work style is stable enough, which can be seen from the clones and offshore companies he established.
At least, compared to the benefits, the disadvantages are extremely small.
"Deal!" Qin Fei raised the vodka bottle.
"Happy cooperation!" Victor touched Qin Fei's bottle with his bottle and said with a smile: "Long live friendship!"
