King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

The media frenzy has been ongoing, but the number of drug cartel guerrillas in the rainforest is ultimately limited.

About 2,500 drug cartel guerrillas and around 200 mercenaries.

After four days of intense guided bombings, even Boss Qiao couldn't figure out how many were left.

This time, they delivered 400 aerial bombs and 100 cluster bombs, more than half were used up in four days.

This is due to the Brazilian Aeronautical Industry Group being slack, leading to a decrease in bomb consumption.

They really couldn't delay; the two crazy old men were pushing the pilots like slave owners, allowing very little time for maintenance.

Usually, they would just take a quick look on the computer, and without any error code prompts, they would start refueling and loading bombs.

The two old men seemed eager for a pilot mishap, as if it wasn't enough until both the men and machines were broken.

Then, on the third day, a China-trained pilot, along with a Xiao Hei trainee, had a mishap.

During a large maneuver, the left flap on the Super Albatross broke.

This was when the high survivability of the propeller aircraft came into play, as the trained pilots were jet fighter pilots, flying a propeller plane was like child's play for them.

The damage to the flap didn't cause them to panic. The pilot managed to drop all the bombs off the aircraft, then slowly turned around under the escort of his companions, holding out for more than half an hour before finally crash-landing in a sugarcane field near the Manaus Base.

The natural laxity of the Brazilians caused real trouble for the Aeronautical Industry Group!

The previous crew had clearly reported the aircraft's anomalies to them, but to meet the KPIs set by the CEO, the ground staff only did a simple computer check before clearing it.

The Belgrade Group couldn't miss this opportunity, the embarrassment of the Super Albatross was a huge benefit for them.

The unexpected result was that the video of the Super Albatross' crash landing not only didn't make it look bad but actually won praise for the aircraft's extraordinary survivability.

It's important to know that currently, all the Super Albatross planes shot down in wars globally happened under Boss Qiao.

P.B, a private military contracting company, initially rose to prominence by using the Super Albatross in asymmetric warfare.

Later, in Liberia and Iraq, as the intensity of the wars increased, both the Super Albatross and the Griffin-1 suffered losses, but not a single pilot died.

Apart from P.B, there had never been any records of such planes crashing anywhere else in the world.

This first-person perspective crash video was a shock to everyone.

Real professionals know that such intense takeoffs and landings are unreasonable for any aircraft.

If it were a jet fighter being handled in such a way, the person in charge would be court-martialed.

Yet this time, the Super Albatross, in such 'unreasonable' conditions, used an accident to prove the aircraft's safety.

This simply defies reasoning!

Russia's Su-series fighters have also had similar incidents...

While performing ultra-low altitude steep climbs, the aircraft suddenly lost control...

But the pilot relied on the combat aircraft's powerful engine to shoot up several hundred meters, lifting the nose to a safe ejection altitude, and while the plane crashed, the person survived.

After such an incident, the Russians were originally preparing to pack up and leave, but unexpectedly, the Su-series fighters actually benefited from it.

The pilot survival rate under extreme conditions is an important consideration in many people's eyes.

The Belgrade Group hired people to illustrate the issues with the Super Albatross from multiple angles, but they were accused of nitpicking.

The plane crashed, yet the pilots survived!

If the Griffin-1 cannot prove its safety under the same conditions, they will always lack something in the competition.

Who can they reason with?

'Three Yellow Chickens' is already going crazy, everyone knows how high the cost of training a pilot is.

But he didn't dare confront 'Cobra', so he urgently contacted a psychologist to provide psychological counseling for the pilots.

What he didn't expect at all was that the pilot and Xiao Hei trainee, after the crash, simply went for an observation in the medical room and were then sent by 'Cobra' onto another Super Albatross again...

This time, they didn't even carry aerial bombs but instead four rocket pods and a machine gun pod under the belly.

This explicitly suggested to the pilots that they should perform even more extreme flying activities, like ultra-low altitude strikes along the Amazon River against those drug trafficking boats.

'Three Yellow Chickens' rushed to 'Cobra' to argue, but this time, instead of getting a cold refusal...

"Any top pilot has experienced an accident, preventing accidents is the task of maintenance crews, but solving them is the embodiment of a pilot's ability.

Crashing an aircraft in combat has better training effects than hundreds of hours of practice.

Try to push the limits of the aircraft, then explore your own limits!

The kid held up; he's an ace seed, you should thank me!"

'Three Yellow Chickens', faced with 'Cobra' exuding the demeanor of a peerless expert, said blankly, "What if he died in the crash?"

'Cobra' looked at 'Three Yellow Chickens' as if he were an idiot and said, "Flying jet fighters is the most dangerous profession in the world!

If you want to do this, you must always be prepared to die!

If pilots crash flying propeller planes, it just shows they're not fit to be jet fighter pilots."

Seeing 'Three Yellow Chickens' look of non-recognition, 'Cobra' shook his head and said, "You don't understand, a single ace is worth more than ten regular pilots!

If you don't believe me, you can take out your mysterious phone and ask. If the answer is negative, I'll have all the commissioned flight trainees suspended..."

'Three Yellow Chickens' listened, touched his pocket, and said, "How can you be sure? Air combat now is not the same as it used to be..."

'Cobra' grinned and shook his head, "The planes are different, but people haven't changed.

No matter how advanced something is, what ultimately determines its limits is always human...

I used to be an ace, I have more say in this than you!"

As he spoke, 'Cobra' looked at 'Three Yellow Chickens', who still wanted to retort, and sneered, "In view of your interference and questioning of my actions, from now on, commissioned flight trainees are grounded.

From now on, they need to apply for every flight, and first pay a 1 million US Dollar ace training fee...

If you can convince them, you can save that money!"

............

"Damn it, serves you right, even 1 million US Dollars seems too little for 'Cobra'...

Do you know who that old guy is?

A strategic-level pilot!

Do you know what that means?

Before 2000, as long as he got into a fighter jet, NATO's intelligence department would get nervous.

The safety of the pilots is, of course, important, but what exactly are those commissioned flight trainees here for?

We've already suffered losses in cooperation with the Rabbit Squad, over-protection will only negate the actual combat effect.

Plenty of people died in that Marine commissioned squad, yet who ever said it was wrong?

So the army can die but the pilot can't...

'Three Yellow Chickens,' you're doomed, you've angered 'Cobra', and because of that, the old mother may have lost some ace seeds.

If I were you, I'd call back home, grab onto anyone's thigh, even if it means selling your ass, get me a few hundred high-power aerial bombs.

I'm not asking for much, I'd be satisfied with an 800-kilogram bomb with GPS inertial navigation."

Qiao, the boss, extorted 'Three Yellow Chickens' just for fun. Charging 1 million per flight sounds exaggerated, but it actually isn't much when converted into munitions used by the air force.

You, a laid-off staff officer, don't understand pilots at all, and yet you dare to point fingers at a devoted ace instructor, no wonder you're out of luck.

After hanging up the phone, Qiao called 'Cobra' to express his full support, and then resumed his work...

In the rainforest, Qiao the boss acted as a cheerleader while diving into the front lines of online gossip...

The munitions groups, for the first time, flaunted themselves online, naturally showcasing their skills in various ways.

The major arms companies displayed and compared each other, making a bunch of military enthusiasts, who previously had little voice online, feel like they were celebrating.

People formed groups to support their favorite weapons, starting with pistols, gradually progressing to rifles, sniper rifles, infantry fighting vehicles, tanks, planes...

From arguments on major forums to mainstream media, eventually flooding the homepage of P·B, leaving comments demanding a response from P·B.

Most people judge the quality of a weapon primarily by its appearance; they can't really figure out its performance.

But when it comes to arguing, it doesn't matter. Just hold your ground and firmly treat all 'heretics' as fools...

No one can really say why, but anyway, it's excessively fun!

Qiao the boss, aiming to stir up as much as he can, seriously conducted field experiments on the controversy over pistols in the rainforest...

He didn't provide any conclusions, only asked various people to test-fire different guns, including a few surviving sisters and rookie Tony, and objectively explained the pros and cons of each pistol.

Debate can indeed bring attention!

On the internet, people will argue fiercely over rankings for any issue.

The ten best pistols in the world!

The world's top ten rifles!

Top ten sniper guns!

This kind of niche topic has never been at the forefront until now.

And the more heated the discussion, the greater the attention it attracts!

It's more effective than any advertisement!

Moreover, because the debate naturally divided fans and fake fans, it effectively segmented the user groups for those arms companies.

It's not just about individual weapons; it's the same for big items!

Many netizens in hotspot regions, after having their eyes opened, began to question the government's arms procurement...

"Why don't you buy such cheap and useful items but go for that trash?"

"Are you taking kickbacks?"

While Qiao was having a blast watching the drama unfold, a few phone calls made him laugh so hard his teeth almost fell out...
