The boss knows everyone's name, distributes profits fairly, and cares about their personal safety. These small things make everyone feel a sense of belonging to the company.
This then sparked the pride of our concentrated fire defense, for outstanding soldiers pursue honor.
In addition to providing material support, Xia Yu also met their spiritual needs.
"The experienced staff will help you adapt to the work rhythm of Jihuo Defense as soon as possible. We only have some finishing touches left in Zhongfei's business. These will be your first battle after joining the company, so please do your best."
Without launching into a lengthy speech, Xia Yu finished saying what needed to be said and finally brought up the arrangements for the newcomers.
"Yes, boss!"
Lucas led the shouting.
He was the newcomer who most wanted to show off, and he had enough confidence in his and his teammates' abilities.
Xia Yu nodded, turned and walked away, while Hans, Kuhn, and Christian went up to greet the newcomers.
They carried not only all their belongings but also weapons they had purchased in Europe.
Without relying on a system, having a professional manufacturer handcraft this ultra-lightweight, modern mg3kws rifle is not considered expensive at a price of twenty to thirty thousand US dollars.
"The machine guns are here. Foxbats brought them to Pilau last week, but you guys haven't arrived yet. They've been sitting in the warehouse. We're only bringing them out today."
People from all over the country bought it without hesitation, and they felt no guilt about it. They also found it really good, except that it was a bit heavy.
Anyway, I'm used to carrying the heavy old AUG, so adding another pound or so won't be a problem.
Leonardo and III each carried a large suitcase as they arrived at the tarmac.
"The pistol is a Glock 17, and there are also Steyr L9A1 and M9A1 (similar to Glock 17 and 19, but with different sizes)."
"Lightweight is the key. You can't see it because of the paint. This gun still looks like an MG3, but the receiver has been replaced with titanium alloy."
They handed two MG3KWS to Vier (04) and Acht (08), who were the machine gunners of Group 4.
Aside from squad automatic weapons and extremely expensive sniper rifles, the veteran employees purchased all of their own money.
Lucas opened a box in the corner, inside which sponges with slots dug out contained pistols.
As an assault soldier, he used a 362mm short-barreled rifle, which was compact and powerful, unlike the HK417 used by the marksman next to him, which required folding the stock before entering the vehicle.
"Where are the machine guns? I remember your Group 4 has two machine gunners."
The brand new mg3kws, or rather, the old mg3 with newly upgraded parts.
There's no other reason; I can count any number.
There's no way around it; so much MG3 was produced in the past, and it's still in use by the militaries of dozens of countries and regions.
"This machine gun is so light!"
However, Xia Yu only contributed to the material costs; the upgrade kits were even sponsored by Rheinmetall.
Austria uses the MG74, which is heavier than the MG3, so the Firepower Defense Force certainly wouldn't equip itself with this old general-purpose machine gun.
"I've used the Australian F88 before. Their new EF88 has been modified quite a bit, but the original version is still the most classic."
But since they joined early and received higher bonuses, Xia Yu simply bought all the rifles and pistols for the new employees.
After retiring the old STG.58 (FNFLA), Audrey stopped using full-power automatic rifles, but the Awbar with its extended heavy barrel and bipod was more like a light machine gun and could not replace a designated marksman rifle.
In German, the numbers for one, two, three, four... are eins, zwei, drei, vier..., which are different from those in English and French.
For example, Steyr Aug, who is older than 81-bar.
Leonardo proudly introduced it.
"There were no machine guns; they said they were waiting for instructions."
As for the Roman numerals in group 2, they are actually pronounced in Italian.
Secondary weapons aren't used very often, so just choose one you like.
With a Cardinni rail, an adjustable stock with a shoulder plate, a new sling, and a folding carrying handle/foregrip, plus a desert camouflage paint job, it looks modern and tactical.
Furthermore, taking into account the extensive use of magnesium-aluminum alloy in the MG5 to manufacture parts, the MG3 underwent internal weight reduction. Even with the purchase of modification kits, the overall weight of the machine gun was reduced to less than 10 kilograms.
Old Ke continued to ask.
There's not that much demand for rebuilding it through bidding, so it's better to just buy an existing HK417 from Germany.
With so many languages in the world, there's no need to worry about running out of code names for the numbered teams. However, with the expansion of Focused Firepower, the employees will probably be able to haggle over prices no matter which country or region they go to.
Matteo (vier) immediately sensed something was wrong; the gun was at least a pound or two lighter, at most around 10 kilograms.
Compared to the crew members and the field medic, Lucas and his team had readily available codenames.
Old Ke commented after getting his hands on it.
This mechanized hunter squad of eight men naturally needed to take advantage of their numbers, so Xia Yu directly assigned them two machine gunners.
Entering the Chinook cargo hold, Lucas took out an Auga 3SF special operations rifle and showed it to Old K and the others.
"They weren't the earliest A1 standard models; they were all from the later A3 series."
Titanium alloy has only 60% the density of steel. Inspired by the fact that the M240L is 2.2 kg lighter than the M240B, Xia Yu changed the material to titanium alloy when printing the casing of the MG3 on the roof of the Leopard 2A4.
However, compared to the instructors who are proficient in using any kind of gun, the mountain hunters don't have access to as many guns. They are most familiar with the standard firearms they used in the military.
Glock is owned by Austria, and so is Steyr, so if they want to support domestic products, they have many options.
Just as the weasel can't be replaced, the Federal Armed Forces can't replace the MG3. Other countries that don't want to buy new machine guns will seek mid-term upgrades to the MG3 and use it for several more decades.
Rheinmetall sponsored a dozen KWS upgrade kits for Jihuo Defense, which are no different from the big logos on the clothes and helmets of top athletes.
Indeed, strength is the only true measure of success; you can buy things without spending money, as people are eager to sponsor you.
"It reduced the weight of less than one 100-round ammunition belt, but I would rather carry hundreds more rounds than carry dozens more rounds in my hands."
Matteo spoke for all machine gunners, especially those beasts who treated general-purpose machine guns as squad machine guns.
"Who can argue with that? We only started using the mg3kws in this deployment. The old mg3 was incredibly heavy. I didn't realize how heavy it was before I retired, but now it's really heavy to carry around every day. My arm circumference has even increased."
Leonardo struck a Popeye pose, and his biceps were indeed impressive.
The third machine gunner from Group 3 stepped back and stood at the back of the crowd, not participating in the machine gunners' heated discussion.
He used a 5.56mm CS/LM8 light machine gun, which was similar in weight to the FN Minimi and was almost two 100-round ammunition belts lighter than the MG3.
Okay, we're not just replacing two 5.56mm bullet belts.
However, when deploying in formation, it is essential to use a combination of two types of machine guns, with appropriate allocation of firepower for close, medium, and long ranges.
Moreover, now that the Marder S3 has been retired, the Marder S30 and the Number 3 group can stand behind the lead vehicle to better suppress and eliminate close-range threatening firepower.
His light machine gun unit is important, but given the current atmosphere, the guys probably don't think so.
In contrast to the combat employees who need to attack, the technical employees who only need to defend themselves are issued much simpler weapons.
There's no real distinction between primary and secondary weapons; they're basically just pistols and submachine guns.
Benjamin chose an HKP30, while his gunner and driver chose an HKMP7.
As for Dorothea, she thought the MP7 was too small and the 9mm bullets were too weak, so she chose a navy-style MP5/10N.
This submachine gun fires 10mm auto rounds, which are more powerful than .45 ACP rounds. To be honest, its performance is more than enough for shooting people. It is meant for self-defense in the wild, for shooting brown bears and wild boars.
Why did Dorothea choose... well, just look at her figure, and you'll know she's a perfect match for this unconventional caliber submachine gun.
"Nice gun. Dorothea, is that you? I'm Mongoose, the commander of the Leclerc UAE crew. My sister, Begonia Rabbit, was the company's first field medic. She's pregnant and going back to Europe now. Welcome to the team."
Hans approached Dorothea, who had just taken out her gun, checked the situation, and prepared to load live ammunition, and began to introduce himself.
"You look younger than those train commanders, and your sister's codename is Begonia Rabbit, right? What do you think of my name, Flowery Rabbit?"
Dorothea looked Hans up and down and said.
When she was a child, she had a giant spotted rabbit, which was just as strong as she is now.
"Rabbit is good, it's not aggressive, and this kind of nickname is more suitable for medical staff. I'll take you to find my sister! Your barracks are right next to hers."
Hans helped carry Dorothea's luggage and led the way out of the cargo hold.
The guy was really kind; I wonder if he has children.
Following behind the other person, Dorothea couldn't help but think this to herself.
In countries with extremely low marriage rates, the number of children born out of wedlock must be extremely high.
The highest percentage of developed countries reached 60%, while Germany was close to 50%.
Determining a person's emotional state by whether they have children is more effective than asking if they are married or have a girlfriend.
Hans stated that he is unmarried, has no children, and does not have a girlfriend.
Before they retired, let's not even talk about it. Their armored units weren't as carefree as the temporary soldiers in the second-line logistics support. They rented houses and lived outside, clocking in and out every day just like civil servants.
Back then, I didn't have much time to interact with women. After retiring and coming to Afika, everything became even more difficult.
Hans decided to seize this opportunity and not let Xia Yu's efforts go to waste.
On the tarmac, apart from the younger Group 4, all three members of the KF-41 Lynx crew, regardless of whether they were married or not, already had children.
Children are money-devouring monsters, even with government subsidies, not to mention Benjamin has three sons and a daughter.
His wife was unable to work and stayed home as a full-time housewife, while his after-tax salary of just over 3,000 euros was barely enough to support a family of six.
With only a couple hundred yuan left over each month, it was impossible to afford anything for his child's extracurricular development. So he seized the opportunity to go to Rheinmetall and was then recommended to Jihuo Defense.
"Soren, what codename do you think would be good for me?"
After putting down his luggage in the barracks, Benjamin asked his driver, Soren, for advice.
“I’ve seen the company’s staff schedule, and their code names are all small mammals. We’ll follow suit and choose something similar.”
Soren answered the commander's questions while organizing the gear that Kuhn had just given him.
“Using myself as an example, elephant shrew sounds very fitting.”
He really liked this small mammal that was tiny in size but was a close relative of elephants in terms of DNA.
"Harald, and you?"
Benjamin looked at his gunner.
"I'll call myself Hedgehog!"
Harald quickly came up with an idea.
Now only Benjamin is left. With two of his subordinates setting a high bar, he's even less likely to produce anything of his own.
There was no other way, so he had to ask his boss for help.
"I can give you a code name, how about 'Mole Rat'?"
Inside the office, after hearing Benjamin's purpose, Xia Yu suddenly had an idea.
Mole rats and voles have similar living habits; both live underground, but one is carnivorous while the other is herbivorous.
He knew his family's situation; it seemed more appropriate for an opossum to carry the burden of the whole family, but that was the image of a female opossum. It would be more suitable to call him a mole, based on Kuhn's example.
"myospalax, then I'll call myself Mole, thanks boss!"
Thus, the Mole Car Crew was established.
In addition to Huamingtu and Group 4, all 12 employees recruited this time have been given code names and have been initially integrated into the fire defense system.
However, Xia Yu won't be able to see their first battle; he has to go to the United States in the next couple of days.
The Stuka at the Museum of Flight Heritage and Combat Armor is no longer a question of whether money can buy it; it's a face-to-face exchange between two wealthy individuals.
Xia Yu was confident he could persuade the other party to transfer the Stuka, and also take the opportunity to see the United States, this empire that was gradually declining.
He has no bias against this country, but he is not so arrogant as to underestimate it. Even a broken ship has three pounds of nails, not to mention that the other side has used its hegemony to reap the benefits of the world for so many years after World War II.
"This time, the lynx and the leopard cat came to the United States with me."
Xia Yu ordered Rob and Johnny. Both of them were from North America and knew the place well. Johnny could also speak Spanish, so he could communicate with Hispanics who didn't speak English.
"Yes, boss!"
The two stood up and responded.
Back at the barracks, Liv had also packed Xia Yu's luggage.
If his wife weren't still pregnant and the private jet hadn't been delivered yet, he would have loved for the two of them to go to the United States together. But now that his wife's pregnancy is showing, he'd rather she go back to Germany!
"Boom!"
Thunder rumbled outside the window, followed by a light drizzle.
At the tail end of the intermittent dry season, Chung Fei's months-long rainy season is about to begin.
The rainy season has arrived, and it's raining in Niriliya as well. Therefore, the personnel initially dispatched are mainly responsible for military observation, to understand the specific situation of Boko Haram, which is roaming around several countries, in the near future.
Compared to opposition armed groups that openly divide up territory, the extremist groups in Afika, hiding in civilian villages and deep forests, are much harder to find.
Each raid is like a game of hide-and-seek; patrolling the war zone and finding the target's stronghold are the main tasks, while the actual planning of operations and the output of damage are relatively small.
"Splash splash"
The Super Hornet took off in the rain, carrying a group of people towards Ajap, the capital of Niri-Liya.
Arriving at the airport just before their flight took off, the three officially flew to the east coast of the United States.
