"Calling Kuhn, how are you doing over there?"
Xia Yu continued to perform his duties as a tank commander, observing the enemy situation while contacting friendly forces.
“Very good, they’ve increased their firepower, probably trying to keep us here.”
The roar of machine guns almost drowned out Kuhn's voice, demonstrating the intensity of the battle.
"Then they are delusional. My operational objective has been achieved, and I will come to pick you up now."
The road conditions in Bomatou city are quite good, especially this section where there are few roadblocks, and Xia Yu and his group sped up to almost 70 kilometers per hour.
"If only there were vertical stabilizers, we could fire without stopping."
Passing by a light machine gun position, Hans fired two shots but missed both.
Although he really wanted to hit the target, the machine guns on a moving tank are unreliable, so the main strategy is to rely on chance, deception, and firepower deterrence.
"If you want two-way stability, you need a Puma."
Xia Yu offered his吐槽 (tu cao, a form of humorous commentary/criticism) during a lull in the battle.
"No, that thing is too unreliable. It would be better to use its main gun with the weasel's chassis."
A classic chassis meant it was sturdy and durable; replacing the main gun with a 30mm caliber gun was like upgrading a slingshot to a cannon.
"Let's find a way to upgrade the air conditioner first; thankfully, the dry season is coming soon."
Xia Yu didn't even dare to dream of such a beautiful thing; he pulled Hans directly back to reality from his fantasy.
"Yes, air conditioning and the weather are the only things that make me miss home. Honey badger, how can you stand it?"
Domi didn't expect that he would be mentioned even though he was driving honestly. The farthest he had ever been was Gineya, and he didn't feel any difference between it and the country.
"Because Black people are not afraid of ultraviolet rays, and as long as you're not in a car, the rainy season here isn't as unbearable as it is back in my hometown."
Xia Yu acted as a mouthpiece, answering for Domi.
"We've arrived. Train commander, give the orders!"
After finishing his casual conversation, Hans switched back to combat mode.
"Mongoose, shoot a long shot, at an angle that looks like a beginner's, you can't hit a single target."
"Yes, commander!"
They went all out in their act; after Kuhn and his crew broke down, the machine guns went off for ages, only to take down one of the machine gunners.
Now it's their turn, and they can't be too accurate with their shooting either.
"Kuhn, prepare to retreat!"
Xia Yu finished shouting into the radio.
The infantry fighting vehicle, which had broken down and was under heavy machine gun fire, finally managed to start.
The acting was so realistic that the three cars began to retreat in a "panic" manner, eventually disappearing from sight amidst the regretful gazes of the rebels.
"They're really lucky, but if they use up all their luck today, they won't be so lucky tomorrow."
Cohen has a knack for self-consolation, which is probably a talent that every Black person possesses.
However, while there's nothing wrong with being optimistic in life, blind optimism in military matters can come at a heavy price.
At that moment, he was unaware of this, instead fantasizing about wiping out the Anka mechanized infantry battalion in one fell swoop the next day.
Who will eliminate whom will only be known tomorrow.
The three vehicles returned to camp battered and bruised. The machine gun dents weren't very noticeable, but apart from the infantry fighting vehicle guarding the rear, the other two had each taken a hit from an RPG.
"Fortunately, none of them penetrated, but the additional armor plates need to be replaced."
Xia Yu is already very skilled at this job, and this time he's not charging a fee.
"Mr. Weasel, should I commit the entire battalion tomorrow?"
Anka and his son were both in the tent, as the decisive moment had arrived.
"Seven infantry fighting vehicles will enter the city. My crew will be responsible for the main attack, while Kuhn will be responsible for forming the first layer of mobile encirclement for the other six vehicles."
Once you've taken the money, you have to get to work; that's Xia Yu's business philosophy.
The client can cooperate, but their company must be the main force.
“Anka led the remaining 1+13 armored forces to spread out along the road from Bomatou to Panaka, forming a second one-way encirclement.”
Xia Yu briefly explained his battle plan.
Creating a two-layered encirclement would leave at least 90% of the rebels behind, resulting in a resounding victory.
Both father and son were excited. It had only been less than a month since they launched their offensive and were now preparing for the final battle!
It happened so fast that neither of them could believe it, but it was true that it had all really happened.
“Mr. Huangyou, I’m not questioning your abilities, but isn’t it a bit too much for you to face two battalions with just one crew?”
Old Anka thought for a moment and then organized his thoughts.
"Isn't one vehicle crew enough to fight these rebels?"
Xia Yu asked indifferently.
If it were anyone else, Old Anka would have had this madman taken away.
But these words were spoken by Xia Yu, and considering his past achievements, it seems quite possible that he could actually do it.
"Then, I'll leave Bomato to you."
Old Anka and his son bowed to Xia Yu together.
"No need for that. I'm just following the contract. Please continue to support our business in the future."
Both parties are typical businessmen; instead of talking about these abstract things, they should get down to practical matters, such as the supplementary agreement he discussed with Anka yesterday.
"Look at my memory, I've forgotten the most important thing. How about this agreement? If not, we can discuss and draft it again."
Old Anka quickly took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Xia Yu with a smile.
"...If three contracts are signed within a month, an additional $5 million will be earned."
This is the bonus, and the amount is very attractive.
Busa's team had prepared a budget for two months for Anka. Since they broke through Bomatou a month ahead of schedule, the money saved was naturally given as a bonus to the biggest contributor.
If they don't pay the bonus, will the father and son pocket it?
That's not the case. With a record like that, Xiao Anka would be worth more than 5 million.
They don't need to antagonize a powerful force like Xia Yu; their brother-in-law Meng Qiao might need him later.
"I'm very satisfied. Let's keep this agreement!"
Xia Yu also knew when to stop, and 5 million was within his acceptable price range.
After deducting personnel and equipment expenses, he is guaranteed to earn $10 million from this trip to Bomatou.
Of course, from other people's perspectives, Xia Yu certainly wouldn't earn that much.
The Mi-24V, Marder A3, and T-64B1M require an initial investment of several million dollars, not to mention the consumption of fuel, spare parts, and ammunition.
Based on Old Anka's estimates, Xia Yu's net profit is at most $2 million.
This is also why he felt indebted to the other party. He was the first to charge into the hail of bullets and had to bear all the expenses and maintenance of the equipment by himself, and he only earned so little. It was really heartbreaking.
As for why he didn't feel sorry for others, it's because Old Anka thought Xia Yu was a businessman of the same level as himself.
Seeing Xia Yu's hard work, he felt a real connection to her.
Similarly, although Hans and his team did not know the exact amount of the contract, they could estimate Xia Yu's income.
They won't feel envious or jealous; they'll just think they're not capable of earning that kind of money, and that it's only right that the boss makes so much after taking the risks.
However, Xia Yu really earned more than that.
It's true that the equipment is expensive, but he can take advantage of the system's resources, so he basically doesn't need to calculate the costs of procurement and depreciation.
Besides, this is nothing compared to what I made while working part-time as an arms dealer!
The opportunity is rare, and before it has developed to a certain scale, the company's main focus must remain on military contracting.
