Of course, the wingman was also trapped, and the main vehicle was blocked from retreating, making it easy for the Cheetah tank destroyer to take it out.
Some money shouldn't be saved, and some advice shouldn't be ignored.
"Nikolai, with so much money, how are you going to spend it!"
After the group returned to their dormitory with the money, Alexander couldn't wait to ask.
This was the first time he had ever earned so much money.
"Send 100,000 home. Forget it, there's nowhere to spend the money here anyway, I'll just send it all back!"
Nikolai was planning to keep some cash for spending, but Xia Yu's place offered free food and lodging, and apart from the lack of entertainment, there was really nowhere to spend money.
Not to mention they just renewed their contract, and the benefits of going to Panaka are foreseeable.
"Listen to me, send them all home, and then work hard for the boss."
Sergei was a responsible captain; he was afraid these guys would squander the money they had earned by risking their lives.
In the past, when they earned less, they were happy to send it all back, but this time Boss Xia gave them far too much.
"Yes, Captain!"
The same scene also occurred at Domi's home.
A 10W energy-saving light on a certain mountain illuminated the pile of banknotes on the table, and also lit up Doma's wrinkled forehead.
"Domi, how about Dad helps you find a few wives and have more children? This much money is enough to raise them until they grow up and then get married and have more children."
Tens of thousands of dollars was an amount that Doma had never seen in his fifty years of life.
Even if you work outside the law for five years, you won't earn much more than this amount.
"No, Dad, I don't want a wife. My husband doesn't have a wife."
Domi argued his case forcefully.
Following Xia Yu, I learned about the vastness of this world, and what my wife was.
If he absolutely has to find someone, he'll have to wait until his husband gets married first.
Xia Yu never expected that his life's most important event would involve the happiness of his subordinates.
After taking a shower and returning to his room, his mind was filled with all sorts of modification plans.
I have to get up early tomorrow to go to the port to deal with the backlog of containers and pick up a new Weasel truck from the warehouse.
Xia Yu is the kind of person who plans ahead; he stockpiled an extra batch of vehicle bodies during the last arms deal, and now they're coming in handy.
Furthermore, with the subsequent replacement of the 30mm new cannon, the original RH202 cannon can be reused and transferred to the BTR-80.
Old Anka will be interested; this upgrade will immediately upgrade him to "BTR-82A," and he won't have to go through the trouble of mixing four types of ammunition.
In the international arms trade market, even a BTR-82A in bulk isn't cheap; a single vehicle costs nearly two million US dollars. That amount of money could buy Xia Yu a used, nearly new Weasel.
Of course, there are even more outrageous ones.
The heavy-duty wheeled boxer dog is more expensive than the basic Leopard 2, so it's probably only affordable for Middle Eastern tycoons and North American millionaires.
Although the modular carriages were quite tempting, Xia Yu was not going to spend any money on them.
The next morning, I finally got to drink the savory and spicy tofu pudding and have a bite of freshly fried dough sticks, and my life was instantly perfect.
Xia Yu gave all the employees a holiday and drove to the port alone.
He went to pick up the containers first, and within a month, he had accumulated seven or eight containers.
After signing for the package, I had someone transport it all to the warehouse, and then I could enjoy the wonderful moment of unpacking it all to myself.
Xia Yu randomly picked one and opened it; what she saw was a very cute little guy.
The Italian-made CV-33 light tank during World War II was comparable to the Japanese nitro tank.
This was a clearance sale held by a bankrupt World War II museum in France, and Xia Yu got an agent to help her buy it.
Because it lacks driving capability, the price isn't very high, around tens of thousands of US dollars.
Xia Yu put it into the system garage.

[Completeness: 91.7% (Ready for Repair)]
Wow, it's a later model.
Although the size has remained the same, there are quite a few improved models.
Early models were mostly equipped with various machine guns, but only the Type 38 was partially equipped with the 20mm M1935 cannon.
What a pitiful tank, but at least it's better than the Type 94. The Japanese didn't get a 37mm gun until the Type 95.
Xia Yu acquired this charming little car primarily for the sake of enhancing the family experience for tourists.
Two people can operate it, and simple training can allow fathers and sons, mothers and daughters to relive World War II and experience that era of war.
This is just the basic version; Brother Fu also offers advanced services.
Xia Yu plans to contact domestic film and television prop companies to wholesale a batch of fully functional Type 94 bean tank models to serve as target vehicles.
The idea of a single motorcycle crew annihilating an entire Japanese cavalry regiment is incredibly immersive.
Of course, the expenses are also at the maximum level, and Xia Yu would advise tourists to act within their means.
"Get ready!"
Xia Yu chose to prepare for the trip.
This car is in a very good condition. The cost of repairing it is enough to buy another one. Otherwise, it wouldn't have stayed in the museum for so many years until it was auctioned off without anyone repairing it.
Fortunately, I met Xia Yu, so I can continue to shine in my position.
Moving on to the next container, a bunch of scattered, rusty lumps of iron clearly looked like goods from a ditch.
This is part of the wreckage of a Panther G, and like his fully revived Tiger, it came from a forest in Eastern Europe.
Spending five or six hundred thousand US dollars on the World War II collectibles market can yield a fairly complete Panther tank, but Xia Yu still prefers the sense of accomplishment from scavenging junk and piecing together a complete vehicle.
He felt like a necromancer, bringing long-dead, rusty war machines back to life and giving them souls.
[Project: panzerkampfwagenvpantherg type]
[Completeness: 36.4% (Unrecoverable)]
A $50,000 tank with over 30% integrity is already quite good, which means that Xia Yu's cash cost to repair a Panzer V tank is only $100,000 (excluding various metal materials used for maintenance).
With that little money, you couldn't buy a truck from the same manufacturer today, you know, old man.
Never ask a foreign company what it produced between 1933 and 1945. They will apologize, but they will never give you a discount because of it.
[Completeness: 75.6% (Ready for Repair)]
After collecting the tank wreckage from the third container, Xia Yu did not choose to immediately begin repairs.
That CV33 only requires a few man-hours, while this Leopard G will take at least dozens of man-hours. It's not too late to prepare it after he finishes modifying the infantry fighting vehicle.
Xia Yu took his 99% new Weasel A3 and put it in garage number 3.
He plans to temporarily retire that old car, and later it can be used either in a museum or for training the village's prospective employees.
If Domi and Hans take turns as instructors, their combat effectiveness will definitely be stronger than the elite vehicle crews of the Anka mechanized infantry battalion.
For no other reason than that their boss is Xia Yu.
Continuing to open the fourth container, a complete turret came into view.
Its design resembles the M4 Sherman tank, and indeed it is, though it is a rather special model.
As a standard tank with a production volume comparable to the T-34, the regular model has no premium price and no appeal.
Just like the Yuan Shikai silver dollar, the ordinary ones cost a thousand or eight hundred, while rarer versions sell for hundreds of thousands or even millions.
Xia Yu's approach to museum management is similar, focusing on the rare and unusual.
