Xia Yu agreed to purchase five sets and asked the other party over the phone if they had them.
Surprisingly, the other party actually managed to get two sets from Dynamitnobel under the guise of samples.
Unfortunately, due to the project's failure, aside from some being used during testing, the rest were left piled up in the warehouse.
Xia Yu didn't hesitate; when the time was right, he acted decisively, paying extra to secure the entire deal.
You guys just bought it for testing, but I bought it to save my life.
After the prepayment was made, the other party said they would arrange for the goods to be shipped from Pattaya as soon as possible.
Xia Yu figured that even if they came back from Panaka, they would have to wait patiently.
He had just ended the communication when Zhu Zi and Domi's tanks also stopped.
The tank is small, and the fuel tank is small too; it ran out of fuel immediately.
Zhu Zi volunteered and walked back to get the oil.
"Remember to bring gasoline, this is a gasoline tank!"
Xia Yu didn't forget to give a word of advice.
Most tanks during World War II used gasoline engines, except for the Sulians, which used diesel engines.
Nowadays, diesel is the mainstream fuel, and only old magnesium aircraft and tanks use the same fuel (JP-8).
Xia Yu has a good reserve of diesel, but only enough gasoline.
However, once the museum is completed, it will inevitably become a major oil consumer.
It looks like we'll need to build a gas station to supply diesel and gasoline.
If you're asking whether to pay by card or cash, just add it to the company's account and top it up.
Soon, Zhu Zi rode over on his BMW, carrying a 20-liter Jerrycan oil drum.
It seems that people have been using this type of oil drum since World War II. Xia Yu's family also has one; it was a gift from his father when he bought a motorcycle.
As for why cheaper plastic buckets weren't used, adding anti-static properties was too expensive, and not adding them posed a risk of explosion.
"Papa, ride the BMW back."
Domi took the oil can and filled it up, while Zhuzi led the stubborn donkey over to show his filial piety.
"You're a thoughtful kid. When we get back from Panaka, I'll take you to drive a big tank."
Xia Yu used a clever move to flip himself onto the donkey.
When straddling, it's easy for both feet to drop to the ground. Sitting facing one side will provide a better fit, but you need to have good balance.
He casually tore off a thin vine and whipped it across the donkey's rump.
"Let's go back and have lunch."
BMW didn't get a chance to play in this Bomatu battle, but it's actually a good thing that it didn't play and just served as a mascot.
Unless absolutely necessary, few crews are willing to use armored vehicles for combat; wouldn't it be better to just floor the accelerator?
But when you're on the battlefield, you have to prepare for the worst.
This is also what Sun Tzu's "The Art of War - The Chapter on Planning Offenses" refers to as "planning for defeat before planning for victory."
The CV33 sputtered ahead, clearing the way, while the ace driver leisurely rode his donkey back to the village.
"Boss, the sergeant is back. His contract with the Anka mechanized infantry battalion has ended."
After finishing a bowl of cold noodles, Hans immediately gave Xia Yu some good news.
"Great news! Our company's No. 2 tank commander has arrived. With a driver, we'll have at least two tank crews for operations."
Xia Yu said happily.
If two vehicles are deployed, with the tank taking the brunt of the damage, the gunner position on the infantry fighting vehicle can be temporarily left vacant, and the commander can take over and fire directly.
Similarly, if it is an attack helicopter + infantry fighting vehicle or attack helicopter + tank mode, the driver can be saved.
This is just an extreme case. Of course, it would be best if all units were at full strength, but on the battlefield, all sorts of unexpected things can happen.
"If a sergeant can be a tank commander, when will I be able to become a tank commander?!"
Becoming a general is a distant dream for a soldier, but it's not uncommon for someone to serve in an armored corps for a few years and become a tank commander.
However, Hans, this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually wanted to improve as well.
"Just wait, our company is unlikely to have a third train commander this year."
Xia Yu didn't want to take too big a step, as that could easily lead to trouble.
He can destroy a battalion, but he can't command a battalion.
One reason is that they didn't study conducting, and another is that they are a PMC company, so the situation may be more complicated.
As for commanding two train crews, Xia Yu could only say he was confident, since he had never actually commanded one before.
During the last deception operation in Bomatou, he and Anka's men did form a three-vehicle team, but that was because they were right that the rebels wouldn't deploy armored forces.
If Cohen has the guts to commit all his forces, then they will most likely fight their own battles.
When the rebels roam the Xia Yu battlefield, Kuhn will choose to fight and retreat simultaneously.
The C-class team, which is just filling up the ranks, has a high probability of trading one for one, or even exploding and trading one for many.
Without a reliable commander, a multi-vehicle crew is no better than a single-vehicle crew; at best, they make a bigger show of things and intimidate people a bit.
"And stop thinking about becoming a tank commander all the time. Go to my school these next few days and see if there are any good gunner candidates."
Xia Yu mentioned this when she thought of the company's prospective employees.
They are all boys from the surrounding villages who have at least attended primary school. They are selected for their talent in mathematics and physics, and the teachers have been teaching them in small classes ever since.
Zhou Bo reported to him yesterday that one of the fathers was Asian, but only the mother's son was the most talented.
Indeed, mixed-race individuals are more likely to promote gene exchange.
Although Zhu Zi isn't the strongest, he's still in the top tier. Both his parents are locals, so the proportion of intelligent people is a bit low.
"Boss, why do you need so many gunners? There are only two tank commanders."
"The best ones join the team, the average ones go straight to the museum. If you don't even take a look before firing, how can you expect tourists to pay more?"
The difference between a boss and an employee can be seen in their mindset alone.
Hans has absolutely no sense of putting himself in the customers' shoes or considering their needs.
"No, boss, you can actually get your hands on those old shells?"
"That's our selling point: it can not only start, but also fire!"
Xia Yu said domineeringly.
In other words, the location was a bit off, but in other aspects, it completely crushed its competitors.
Once he makes money, he'll buy a passenger plane and travel the world picking up people, providing a one-stop service.
The museum blueprints haven't been drawn up yet, and the company doesn't even have a single fixed-wing aircraft.
"What time will Kuhn arrive? I should have had him come back with us."
Xia Yu glanced at his watch and asked.
It's a little before 1 p.m. now.
"The flight was in the afternoon. After arriving in Panaka, he went to Busa with Anka and the others. He also bought a ticket to Konluga."
Little Anka has distinguished himself in battle, and this time he is going to be awarded a medal.
Xia Yu was really afraid that if things continued like this, the medals on his clothes would become bulletproof vests.
"Hans, after all these years in the Federal Armed Forces, you haven't earned a single medal?"
"Just a few service badges, but my family has several Iron Crosses."
Since he couldn't compete with himself, Hans could only rely on his grandfather and great-grandfather.
"That's how it is in the military contracting business. There are no flowers and applause, no honors and medals, only money."
Xia Yu finished speaking and let out a long sigh.
Fortunately, he had been out of the workforce for many years before entering the industry, so the psychological gap wasn't too big, especially compared to the ups and downs in his career.
There's no such thing as wanting both; if you choose to fight for money, then business is business.
"Let's go pick them up at the airport together this afternoon."
"good!"
