"Beep~ Beep~~"
On the way back, Xia Yu dialed Lao Ke's number.
"Boss, I've finally received your call. I'm in Ao Taiya right now."
Christian had Xia Yu's number saved, but they hadn't been in contact for almost half a month.
"Sorry, Mr. Ke, the company has been too busy lately. We have finally completed the border clearing contract and should be able to join you in about 3 days."
Xia Yu apologized over the phone.
The fact that this overseas training camp was held in Ao Daliyah was quite a coincidence.
The three SbS members who were laid off found new jobs as diving instructors in Tu'ao. After all, given the climate and sea conditions in England, the overall market was not as large as that of the former colony.
In addition, thanks to the varied terrain and harsh environment of Tu'ao, it is also a good place for military training.
They can strengthen more projects within a limited time, and more importantly, there are some things Xia Yu wants to obtain there.
"Okay, I'll handle the paperwork for the weapons import."
The situation of controlling guns in Tu'ao without banning them is quite troublesome overall, but training camps cannot be conducted without weapons, so this is where the resourceful Comrade Lao Ke comes in.
Having worked in the Yingjun community for over 20 years, he still had some connections in Tu'ao. Transporting goods under the company's name would only be subject to regulation, not absolute prohibition.
If Xia Yu wanted, the T-64B1M and the Weasel S30 could also enter the country, but unfortunately neither of these can be airlifted.
Xia Yu's connections only allow him to rent a C130-H, and even an A400M is a bit lacking, let alone an A300-600St Beluga. However, Er Mao's family's An-225 is always available for rent, but the price is a bit expensive, at $120,000 per hour.
Small companies like Jihuo Defense need to consider costs, but when it comes to the national level, these are small sums of money.
After all, a 250-ton carrying capacity can transport five main battle tanks at once, which even the oldest C-5 Galaxy would have to admit defeat.
However, there was only one such powerful transport plane, which was obtained by Er Mao during the division of his family property. If it broke down, it would be gone forever.
Xia Yu can take on repairs, but it's not easy to explain.
"Then I'll leave it to you. I'll send you the flight number later."
After the communication ended, Bogo Village came into Xia Yu's view.
After depositing their money, the employees strolled around town and bought a lot of fruit, while Liv also used her passport to open a salary card account.
"Do you need an advance on your salary for one month?"
After noting down Liv's card number, Xia Yu casually asked her a question.
“Great! The rent in Mu Nihei is too expensive, and I can’t get a place in the school’s dorms. My brother used to give me living expenses, but now I can earn my own money.”
Liv nodded and said.
The university in the country doesn't charge tuition, but the living expenses are too high. Even though she received a scholarship, she still needs her brother to support her with 500 euros a month to survive.
Mom?
Hans's mother's salary was only enough for herself. Without her father as the pillar of the family, Hans did not continue to university after finishing high school. Instead, he joined the Federal Armed Forces to support the family.
"Then you'll have to deposit it yourself, or use cash directly; cash is used more often here."
Xia Yu casually pulled out a stack of Franklins, counted out 20 bills, and stuffed the rest into Liv's hand.
That's how domineering a boss has to be; compared to yesterday, he's already toned it down considerably.
"Wow, this is the most money I've ever earned. A teacher's pre-tax salary is about this much."
The 400,000 yuan belonged to her brother, but the 8,000 yuan was earned by herself, so Liv felt a heavy weight in her hand.
The €992 monthly allowance from Doctors Without Borders is enough for Afika; she now feels like a rich woman.
"There will be more in the future. Our armored ambulances are being modified and should be able to be transported to Kongluga before the next mission begins after the training is completed."
Xia Yu explained her work to Liv.
"Because it uses a weasel chassis, and we can't have a dedicated ambulance driver, you have to learn how to drive an infantry fighting vehicle."
This was something Liv hadn't expected.
I'll be a field medic, but first I need to learn how to drive an infantry fighting vehicle.
"I'll arrange for your brother and honey badger to teach you this."
Gunners can also drive, but their skills aren't as good as those of the main profession, so they can only fill in at crucial moments.
"You don't need to learn how to fire a cannon. You seem to have some talent for marksmanship, so you can practice during this training camp. In addition, you need to choose a defensive weapon. The Glock 43 is only suitable for close-range defense, but our enemies are mostly more than 100 meters away."
Xia Yu stroked his chin, sizing up Liv's figure, and pondered what kind of gun would be suitable for her.
"MP7? Your brother uses an MP7!"
"That gun is too small, I don't really like it."
Liv shook her head and said.
She had seen the MP7 that Hans was carrying, but it didn't quite suit her taste; she preferred larger ones with more ammunition.
"Oh? What about the P90? That thing can hold 50 rounds of 5.7mm ammunition."
Xia Yu recommended the gun from the Pili Shiren.
"I don't like it either; its handle is so weird."
After looking at the picture, Liv shook her head again.
"So what do you like? Can you describe it more precisely?"
Xia Yu felt like he was going out with a girl, but he was just looking and not buying!
"When the rebels attacked us, I used their AKm. Apart from the recoil being a bit strong, it felt pretty good."
Xia Yu understood what Liv meant.
It turns out my sister is an AK party member, just like him.
"You want an AK? Then I recommend this one."
Xia Yu tapped a few times on her phone, selected a photo, and placed it in front of Liv.
"Is this an AK?"
The gun in the photo looks a lot like an AK, but the "magazine" is a round submachine gun.
"Yes, the PP-19 Bison submachine gun was designed by the son of the AK designer. It uses a spiral magazine that can hold 64 rounds of enhanced Makarov pistol ammunition, providing sufficient and sustained firepower, and the recoil is stable and controllable."
This magazine holds 14 more rounds than the P90.
Although loading ammunition is a hassle, Liv's workshop is a whole Weasel battlefield ambulance, with enough room to fit seven or eight magazines anywhere.
"Let's go with this one!"
Liv finally made a decision.
"If you choose the Ossirian gun, the mongoose will be sad."
"Then he must have forgotten that his grandmother was from Sulian."
Okay, that's a very strong reason.
Xia Yu called John and asked him to order a modern BIZON-2 Bison.
There is a version of this gun that fires 9x19mm Paragon rounds, but due to size limitations, the magazine capacity is reduced to 53 rounds, so it's better to use the original Makarov pistol rounds.
Some people say this bullet is rubbish, but it's a P-type ordinary bullet. If you replace it with 7N25, which is a PBM-type armor-piercing bullet, the power would be considerable.
In addition to the standard training ammunition, Xia Yu equipped John with an equal number of 7N25 rounds, as well as a small number of Sp7 stopping power enhanced rounds, Sp8 low penetration rounds, and PT tracer rounds...
As a newcomer to the industry, Liv never expected that a single gun could have so many different types of bullets.
Different uses require different bullets; artillery shells are a bit expensive, but in concentrated fire defense, you can have bullet freedom.
In addition to these Makarov series bullets, Xia Yu also ordered more 4.6mm submachine gun bullets and 9mm pistol bullets.
After acquiring an FN minimi light machine gun (the original M249) from the White Hat Frogman Squad, Focus Fire Defense gained freedom to use 5.56mm ammunition.
John lost a big order and can only sell pistol ammunition and 5.45mm rifle ammunition now.
Because pistols, submachine guns, and short-barreled rifles are not weapons welded onto vehicles, they cannot benefit from the system's features, and the bullets must be purchased with personal funds.
"Give me another bullet reloading system. I want to reload .338 caliber bullets."
Xia Yu added at the end.
Although his sniping skills had improved to the point where he could hit targets at around 1,000 meters, he had hit a bottleneck and was thinking of getting into reloaded ammunition to see if he could improve his shooting accuracy.
"No problem, everything can be arranged within 3 days."
John assured him over the phone.
"That's troublesome."
After hanging up the phone, it was lunchtime.
"Everyone pack your things, we're leaving for Ao Taiya in 3 days!"
Xia Yu announced this to everyone in the restaurant.
Training camps are always exciting, not to mention that the furthest they've ever been is Afica, and this time they're going to Oceania on the other side of the world.
"Boss, shall we go too?"
Kohler stood up and asked.
"Yes, including the technical staff. Practice your marksmanship so you can protect yourselves when you leave the vehicle."
The entire mole crew, plus Hans from their weasel crew, either hovered around the passing mark in target practice or were still quite far from it, which greatly angered Xia Yu, who was excellent in both technical and combat skills.
You don't need to master all the light weapons, but you should practice your primary defensive weapon to a high level!
"The focus of this training is on the members of Group 2. You want to develop in the direction of boating, right? I have found experts for you and equipped you with the best equipment. I hope you can achieve some results in the next month or so."
"Oui, Monsieur!"
Anton took the lead in shouting, and the five people in Group 2 responded in unison.
During breaks between missions, they would go to the beach for extra training in basic subjects like swimming and armed swimming, all in preparation for the advanced training courses.
Now, the wait is finally over.
"Group 1, you'll be adding an extra training course on airborne operations!"
Xia Yu turned to Sergei and said.
If we're going to train, we'll train together. Apart from the talented 05 and the 03 who has been trained in high jump and low opening, the other four are only at the level of ordinary paratroopers, far from meeting the standards of elite paratroopers.
It doesn't matter if I can't become an all-rounder because of the length of service; I can still grow with the company. Xia Yu is not stingy with his investment in this regard.
"Oui, Monsieur!"
The two groups of numbers started competing fiercely, which can be considered healthy competition.
"Mole, after we finish eating, let's discuss and decide what we need to bring."
"yes!"
The relaxed atmosphere after the celebration banquet vanished as the formal meal began, replaced by excitement and tension.
Hans was quite troubled, fearing that he wouldn't achieve anything significant even with intensive training, but he was happy to teach his sister how to drive an infantry fighting vehicle.
"Without the turret, the layout of the battlefield ambulance should be similar to that of the Marder S30. Follow me."
After getting the car keys from Lyman, Hans led Liv to the vehicle yard and drove out the heavy infantry fighting vehicle, which had not yet been fitted with explosive reactive armor and additional armor.
As a female driver who passed the grueling driving test (with a first-time pass rate of less than 50%) on her first attempt and obtained her driver's license in [country name], Liv performed exceptionally well.
“If you were a boy, you should be a train conductor like your grandfather.”
Hans muttered to himself, feeling utterly unfulfilled.
Unlike Russia, the United States, and the United States, where there are female tank crews, the Germans are more conservative, and most of the women who join the Federal Armed Forces are assigned to logistics work.
"No, I might be a military doctor."
Liv retorted.
Being able to drive doesn't mean you enjoy driving. Commanding such a war machine, she feared she might lose control and unleash her inner...
She's better suited to be a doctor, yes, that's for sure.
Unaware of the amusing incident involving the siblings, Xia Yu was busy with Kuhn.
They will continue to rent Busa's C130-H aircraft for their trip to Aotaliya, since firearms and ammunition are too sensitive matters, and military transport aircraft are the most suitable means of transportation.
The only problem is that the old Hercules model had shorter legs, so they had to refuel three times along the way, making a one-way trip equivalent to a round trip to Europe.
That's just how troublesome military deployments are.
Guns, bullets, and rocket launchers are brought by themselves, while Old Ke will be responsible for arranging the helicopter; otherwise, it would be difficult to explain if he brought it over.
After a day and a half of work, the two finally finalized the list.
The most important one was a Tiger armored vehicle, the one Sasu was riding in. It only took two stray bullets during the battle. Xia Yu did some simple bodywork and gave the engine some maintenance.
Bringing this vehicle can solve the transportation problem for half of the people, while the other half can simply ride in a pickup truck, which can be rented or bought when they arrive in Tu'ao.
Then there's the batch of captured frogman equipment, 10 sets plus 4 extra. The instructors can use it, and Xia Yu can also experience what it's like to be a combat frogman.
Foldable two-person kayaks, combat rubber assault boats that can carry 10 people, and special operations vessels for inland waterways.
Xia Yu went all out, buying brand new all three types of combat boats that were comparable to those of the old USSwcc unit, and shipping them directly to Ao Daliya.
For a month, let Group 2 stay at sea and on the water. They can fight sharks and saltwater crocodiles to their heart's content and experience what devilish training is like.
Of course, as a responsible boss, Xia Yu arranged for doctors before setting off, since there were never any doctors available during previous battles.
"Boss, are we hiring new people again this time?"
Kuhn asked Xia Yu.
"Yes, Old Ke and his group only have 4 people. They are 2 people short of forming a 'hypothetical enemy' team. So they might as well recruit a few more to make a group."
Xia Yu nodded to indicate that this was indeed the case.
"What is the exact number?"
Kuhn continued to ask.
He had to discuss all of this with his boss first.
"There should be a dozen or twenty people coming, all of them are experts, but we will select the best of the best and only recruit the most suitable ones."
The two teams can gradually improve, but newcomers should be ready to contribute immediately upon arrival.
For example, snipers. When Jihuo Defense was just starting out, it didn't need snipers, but now that it has grown in size, it needs to guard against being sniped.
By recruiting an expert in this field, Xia Yu can not only attend sniping classes but also effectively counter enemy snipers.
This doesn't refer to a sniper duel, but rather using the snipers' experience to locate the opponent and then have them provide fire support.
Covering an entire camp might be too expensive for concentrated fire defense, but covering a sniper position is a piece of cake.
There are three sniper positions available this time. Hopefully, one of them will satisfy Xia Yu!
"Of course, we will also recruit for finance and logistics, museum and supporting facilities management. We will hold the recruitment in Aotariya, and with reimbursement for airfare and accommodation, there will definitely be more people coming than those willing to come to Afica for interviews."
For non-frontline combat personnel—ordinary people who are more resilient and discreet—even if they are to work in underdeveloped regions, holding their job interviews in more developed countries can alleviate most of their concerns.
If they start with Southeast Asia and Afica right away, then we're doomed.
Even for Lao Yu and Zhou Bo, Xia Yu had to give them an advance on their wages to dispel their concerns. He only gave them the money for a plane ticket, and who knows if they might be missing some parts.
"It's time to start recruiting, otherwise relying solely on locals won't be enough to support such a large operation."
Kuhn also agreed.
There are talented Black people, but they are too few in number. Xia Yu's basic requirements for hiring include being proficient in two or three languages, with priority given to those who can speak English, French, and Chinese, and those who can speak German will also be given more consideration.
The reason is that Xia Yu's target customers are mostly people who speak these languages, and even those who speak other languages know at least one of these languages.
"Hopefully we can pick out a general outline and build the basic framework first."
Xia Yu didn't intend to achieve everything at once, but with the first batch of employees, recruiting more people became much easier.
"The training of frontline employees also needs to be accelerated. Just thinking about so many models of World War II tanks gives me a headache."
Kuhn scratched his not-so-thick hair as he spoke.
"Before the training camp, I will bring back two tanks so that they can get familiar with them first."
Xia Yu refers to that group of thugs.
A monthly salary of $600, plus tips from customers, is a class above in Konluga; even the veteran sergeants of the Anka Mechanized Infantry Battalion earn around that much.
While others had to face the rebels' artillery fire, these people only needed to stay in the museum, set off cannons, and drive cars—they couldn't be happier.
They simply won't be willing to fight, and they'll never earn a high salary like Domi's.
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~~"
On the afternoon before departure, a small Antelope helicopter took off and left Bogo village ahead of everyone else.
Xia Yu was the only person on the plane, and he needed to empty the system hangar before leaving the country.
In nearly three days, both fighter jets were fully prepared and ready to be stored at the cave base.
Xia Yu also happened to collect two tanks and take them back with him.
Upon entering the canyon, the mist suddenly swelled, and even satellites pointing at the area could not detect anything unusual.
It's quite like a Water Curtain Cave without the waterfall. I'm also grateful that the primeval rainforest has blocked human exploration, unlike those named mountains that are either conquered by this or trampled underfoot by that.
Xia Yu parked the antelope on the outer platform at the cave entrance, then went inside and turned on the power. Several searchlights lit up, illuminating the entire cave.
The lone gale now has company, with F-4Js and Harrier T.8Ns being released from the left and right respectively, finally giving it a sense of collection.
However, it would be better to use Typhoon and Gust. The models are not from the same series, but the names are.
Xia Yu was just waiting to see when their plane would crash. No matter how good the plane was, it couldn't withstand a sudden accident, and it was only a matter of time before it crashed.
It's all set up, and even if we don't take it out into battle, it's still nice to have it sitting there!
Why show tourists these old World War II artifacts when you can't even enjoy them yourself and collect some real treasures?
