"Okay, I need to get ready for tomorrow!"
Trekking poles, raincoat, cooking utensils, basic medical kit... Liv had already made a list in her mind.
Knowing that she was coming to Afica, a close friend from the hiking club gave her a pair of titanium alloy trail running poles, saying they could be used for self-defense.
But once Liv arrived in Afica, she found that it was more convenient to use a gun there.
Fortunately, these trail running poles can still be used for their original purpose: saving energy and reducing the burden on the knees and legs during hiking.
But Xia Yu doesn't seem to have one. However, a single cane is still usable, so they can each have one!
She's a senior hiker, so it's only right that she mentors the newbies.
This "newbie" may have had ulterior motives, focusing their attention on something else; otherwise, they would have been much better prepared. Of course, it could also have been intentional, since that's the only way to get closer to someone!
Having little emotional experience doesn't mean he's not a master of theory. Xia Yu has a wealth of theoretical experience, and his practical skills will soon be revealed in just a few days.
After putting Mimi back in Dahuang's arms, the two went to find Daniel.
To wean the litter of puppies, the little ones were temporarily separated from their mother and are receiving preschool education with Daniel.
"Boss, these four are all pretty good. They're well-proportioned and incredibly brave. The only one with external restraint was taken away by a fennec fox."
Daniel and Xia Yu explained.
The selection of military dogs is very strict. Long fur, weak hind legs, timidity, and poor retrieval ability are all criteria for screening and elimination.
External inhibition occurs when a dog is in a highly excited working state and is suddenly interrupted by external stimuli, causing its state to be disrupted and its attention to be diverted.
This is indeed deadly on a battlefield where bullets are flying, but fortunately, it doesn't have much of an impact if it's just a pet.
Old Ke has helped reduce the company's burden. While other brothers and sisters can go out to work, this little Malinois can only stay at home and be cute. He must be feeling very disappointed. So it's better to change the environment and the lifestyle.
Xia Yu picked up a small Malinois by the scruff of its neck, who was trying to escape and was somewhat embarrassed when it was discovered.
Is it the smartest?
"Yes, he's like a Border Collie in a Malinois skin, but his dramatic behavior doesn't affect his emotional stability."
While few Border Collies serve as military dogs, that doesn't mean all Border Collies are unsuitable. There are cases of Huskies and Corgis serving as military or police dogs; emotional stability is the most important factor.
"That's good, I'm optimistic about it."
Xia Yu handed the little one to Liv beside him and then picked up the next one, checking on them one by one.
As the firefighting operations expand and Dahei and Dahuang grow older, he hopes to successfully hire all four of his puppies, since counter-terrorism operations really cannot function without the assistance of military dogs.
There are also drug enforcement and search and rescue, vigilance and tracking... and many, many more needs.
This is also due to technological limitations. Biological vehicles still have a high weight. Mechanical dogs like those from Boston Dynamics have problems with battlefield endurance and obstacle crossing, so they are still more commonly used in civilian scenarios.
After spending about an hour learning about the four little ones and developing a bond with them, Xia Yu and Liv went back for a late-night snack.
After Xia Yu took a shower and lay down on his captain's bunk bed,
"bite"
[Project: SA.321H type]
Printing progress: 100%
After entering the system interface and completing the maintenance and repair of the remaining major components of the São Paulo, the first Super Frelon in the queue has been successfully printed and rolled off the production line.
The interior is 80% new, but the exterior is only 70% new.
The second Super Hornet, intended for the museum park, is the opposite: newer on the outside, but older on the inside.
As for the third H225M Caracal used for disassembling parts, it was brand new from the factory.
We should be able to make it in time, since it will still be a week before we arrive in Gineia!
This time, Firepower will deploy the Super Hornet for personnel transport, and together with the Mi-24's troop transport pods, they can send 90% of the company's employees to Mari.
Only in this way can the company be considered to have initially acquired the ability to respond quickly.
In their last operation against the pirates, they used two Gazelles to deliver the payload of one Bird, which was a bit inefficient.
If the fleet consists of a Hind paired with a Super Hornet, then Xia Yu could even deploy the entire instructor team.
This is somewhat cruel to pirates; the key is the ability to deliver supplies.
Firepower defense requires transport helicopters, so the Super Frelon has arrived. This helicopter, designed for the Navy, also has a folding capability that the Mi-8 Hippo does not possess.
Both the main rotor and tail rotor can be folded, which is especially important in the space-constrained hangars of aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships. This is also the reason why our country must independently develop the Z-8 and Z-18 helicopters, and instead chooses to purchase the Mi-171 and the Ka-31 as a transitional measure.
Shipborne helicopters with large, foldable rotor blades are mainly the Ka-27, Ka-29, Ka-31, and Ka-32 coaxial counter-rotating rotor family.
The transport version of the Ka-32 is excellent for forest fire fighting, disaster relief, and polar expeditions. To be honest, the military transport version has a smaller passenger capacity and a weaker range.
If Xia Yu hadn't acquired the São Paulo, he would most likely have considered the Mi-8 instead of the Ka-32. But with the São Paulo, the Super Frelon would have been a better option, since they wouldn't have needed to buy prototypes.
If you upgrade it with parts from the Caracal, it will truly be a French version of Super Bumblebee.
Xia Yu's plan was this: the Super Hornet used for transporting tourists at the museum didn't need to be modified, but the Super Hornet used by the company for tactical transport had to be modified.
Especially for armor protection, the basic requirement is that the aircraft should be able to withstand three to five shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, with the fuselage able to withstand them.
Otherwise, if the transport cabin, which contains a dozen or twenty employees, were to be knocked off, the losses would be enormous, something Xia Yu absolutely did not want to see.
We must stack armor to this level, even at the cost of some range and load capacity.
With these thoughts in mind, Xia Yu drifted off to sleep to the sound of the waves. When she opened her eyes, it was already the next morning.
No longer needing to travel between the São Paulo and the cave base, his pace of life instantly slowed down.
Xia Yu made and received several phone calls, handling some work-related matters in the morning.
Liv was also conscripted by him and helped with a lot of paperwork.
After the people of England, the people of Germany were the first to react.
Before the Afica War Museum, Bovington had the only Tiger I could drive, while the Saumur Museum in the UK had the only Tiger II that could move.
This Tiger II was pieced together by the staff using the chassis of vehicle number 233 and several relatively intact parts from Tiger II vehicles, creating a aging Tiger II.
The good news is that the 88mm tank gun is in good condition and still capable of firing.
Therefore, the people of the country also wanted to purchase a batch of artillery shells, and even entrusted Xia Yu to help find a Panzer 1 tank.
The Type 1, which is weaker than the Type 2, had a total production of less than two thousand vehicles. Many of them were even converted into self-propelled artillery and tank destroyers, making the Type 1 even rarer.
Scarcity increases value; even the Saumur Museum, which has a Tiger II, doesn't have a Tigre 1, and the Afica War Museum doesn't seem to have one either.
Actually, he does have more than one, but Xia Yu hasn't taken it out yet.
If a Malaysian wants to buy a No. 1 car, and the price is right, he can sell it to them. After all, in business, except for non-saleable items, there is buying and selling.
“Send them an email saying that I will do my best to help, but whether it will be successful depends on luck. As for the ammunition, it is negotiable. The amount they need can be delivered after New Year’s Day.”
Xia Yu said to Liv in front of the computer.
Since hand-made cannonballs have a production capacity limit, the company can only deliver them in the order they are signed in order to meet its own needs.
One step behind leads to another, and the Americans and Russians are even slower.
As for the Chinese people who manufactured these best-selling tanks, they have fallen silent.
It's normal. Others conduct live-fire exercises; as long as they obtain the necessary permits, what are they trying to achieve by doing so?
That's too taboo; it's better to just pretend you don't know anything about it.
"good!"
With no surgery available, Liv typed away on the keyboard and quickly wrote the email as Xia Yu requested.
But her thoughts were already on São Tomé and Príncipe, wandering among the island's beaches, rainforests, and mountains.
"Go to bed early tonight, we have to leave at five o'clock tomorrow morning."
Xia Yu noticed this as well and reminded her.
"Yes, I got up at four o'clock. Thank you for your hard work, Xia!"
Liv said with a smile.
She can't fly a helicopter, so Xia Yu will be more tired going back and forth.
"This is nothing. Helicopters can only fly for four or five hours at most. I've flown transport planes for more than ten hours straight."
"Wow, are you a genius? You can fly any kind of plane. That's much harder to drive than a tank or an infantry fighting vehicle."
Liv finally found an opportunity. She could handle the Weasel K1, but helicopters, fighter jets, and transport planes looked so complicated, which was why she thought Xia Yu was so amazing.
"If you have the talent, it's not difficult at all. If you're interested, I can teach you."
"It's not difficult to cheat," Xia Yu said.
His teaching is limited to helicopters and does not cover attack helicopters, anti-ship, anti-submarine warfare, etc. Basic helicopter piloting is quite simple, and many people will pay for their own piloting lessons.
If Liv could learn to fly a helicopter like Lyman, then he would have another trainee pilot.
Knowing how to drive an armored ambulance is basic skill, but a secretary who can fly a helicopter is a qualified battlefield medic.
"Really? That's great! But you should give me a reading list first. This is more dangerous than the tank. I'd better not try to put it into practice until I've thoroughly understood the theory."
This attitude alone surpasses that of 99.99% of female drivers; being responsible for other people's lives is also being responsible for one's own.
"Can!"
When you're busy, time always flies by.
After finishing her work after lunch, Liv packed up her gear in the afternoon and evening, suppressed her excitement and tried to fall asleep. She woke up before her phone alarm went off.
After a quick meal and a farewell to everyone, the two piloted the Gazelle towards São Tomé and Príncipe.
"Quick, quick, quick, get ready to move!"
As they watched the little antelope disappear into the distance, the group on the boat, who had seemed relaxed, suddenly became busy.
"I, you two groups stay on the St. Paul. The Fennec Fox will arrive in half an hour. We must successfully complete this 'operation plan'. Does everyone understand?"
Kuhn clapped his hands and shouted to everyone.
"clear!"
Everyone responded in unison.
The boss wants to find a partner, so how could his employees stand idly by? Of course, they had to lend a hand.
"Buzz"
Half an hour later, a DHC-6 Twin Otter seaplane appeared on the horizon and then landed steadily on the sea near the São Paulo.
The mole vehicle crew, the instructors' crew, and the number 1 crew boarded the plane in batches by small boat, and then took off and left amidst the envious gazes of the six people in Anton.
I really want to go, but someone has to stay on the ship, so I can only silently wish them success.
The two otters fly at a speed similar to that of the gazelles, so it took Xia Yu and the others more than an hour to land at the port of São Tomé.
After retrieving the goods that Xia Yu had sent to São Tomé in advance, they took a boat to Tiniosásh Island, where the two of them were hiking.
Besides the two main islands, there are 14 smaller islands surrounding São Tomé. Tiniosásh is relatively far away and receives fewer visitors.
It's not that they'd completely blockade the island, but with the help of the US dollar, the waters of Tiniosash facing the Atlantic Ocean have been sealed off with official assistance. No boats, whether fishing or sailing, can get in.
Liv, who had just gotten off the helicopter and was hiking into the rainforest with Xia Yu, was unaware of all this.
They had to conquer a small mountain on the island, over 370 meters high, about the same height as Maoshan in Xia Yu's hometown, but the rainforest environment posed a much greater challenge.
"Woof woof woof"
The big black dog barked wildly at something nearby, seemingly sensing danger.
"Let me take a look."
Xia Yu used the trekking poles Liv had given him to forcefully strike her.
"Swish"
A dark shadow rose up, flicking its tongue as it stared at the two people in front of it.
"It's a black-necked cobra. It can spit venom from up to two meters away, which is extremely dangerous."
Xia Yu naturally stepped in front of Liv.
Thanks to Snake for giving him the opportunity to perform.
Rainforests are dangerous, but with proper preparation, they're just like playing a dungeon.
Cats react faster than snakes and have a highly developed sense of smell; even well-trained dogs can detect the scent of snakes.
"Yes, it's very dangerous."
Liv clung tightly to Xia Yu's arm. She knew all too well the venom of cobras, so she would rather face the muzzles of the rebels' guns than their fangs.
"This is its territory, we'll just go around it."
The two took a detour and continued on their way, reaching the summit before lunchtime.
"Calling the boss, calling the boss, please respond."
While helping to start the fire and cook, Xia Yu suddenly heard Kuhn's voice through her earphones.
"I'm going to the restroom."
Xia Yu said something to Liv and then left.
"Weasel, received. You are in position."
"Yes, Group A and Group B have arrived at their designated locations and are currently conducting debugging and loading operations."
Kuhn replied over the radio.
"We will arrive at our destination and camp before dark, then we will contact you again."
"yes!"
After ending the communication, Xia Yu returned to Liv's side.
Time, please hurry up! We'll definitely succeed tonight.
Unaware of what was going on, Ms. Liv was frying steaks and pouring the fried mushrooms into the pan.
When hiking, you can't cook anything too complicated; steak is already a luxury.
P.S.: It'll have to wait until tomorrow!
