"At 10 a.m. tomorrow, the newly repaired Ju-87 bomber will land on the deck of the São Paulo on time."
When the topic of the Stuka came up, Xia Yu assured Paul.
"I've been looking forward to this day for half a year, and your efficiency is astonishing."
Paul remarked with emotion.
"Among the World War II equipment in the United States, apart from American equipment which is easier to repair and rebuild, the rest are inferior to those in Europe, and even inferior to those in Afica."
There are quite a few spare parts that have been preserved from old Europe, but none of them are as fast as the original size back-printing of the system.
This Dive Reaper, which uses the JU-87R-4 fuselage and is equipped with two 37mm BK3.7 anti-tank guns upgraded from the G-type Gunbird, combining firepower and mobility, had its repair and modification work completed five months ago.
The pilot was moved from the front seat to the back seat to give tourists a better view; 12 tungsten carbide armor-piercing rounds can even tear open the scalp of a modern main battle tank.
In order to better extend its lifespan, just like the Tiger King, it only allows 3 people to be received each day, and the shells are priced at 10,000 each.
If you have a limited budget and can't afford it, Xia Yu also thoughtfully provides affordable alternatives.
"That's all for today. I'm a bit tired too. Let Liv and Shad spend the night on the Octopus. We'll go to the museum together tomorrow morning."
Although they had spoken on the phone many times, this was the first time the two had met in person, and old Larry couldn't help but complain.
"Women are just so slow. I've never experienced what it's like on an aircraft carrier before. I'm in good form today, so maybe I can play both games."
Old Larry shouted into the cabin.
Time flew by as they chatted, until a yacht speeding at full speed cut through the waves.
How should I put it? They're practically grandfather and grandson in terms of age.
The other aircraft was equipped with two 40mm Vickers S-type cannons from the D-type, and each cannon had 15 rounds of ammunition.
Solemnity, tranquility, and quietness are more suitable for public museums that are not for public benefit. Fee-charging museums must focus on the needs of visitors and provide differentiated value-added services.
Nowadays, it's more important to entertain VIPs who will spend large sums of money.
Yes, two two-seat trainer aircraft modified from Hurricanes, one of which is the original aircraft with four 20mm Hispano cannons.
However, the large-caliber cannons on fighter jets have a more severe impact on their maneuverability than those on Stukas, making them easy targets for BF-109F fighters.
As the unshaven old Larry spoke, he put down his binoculars and turned to look at Xia Yu.
"Paul's already in that state, what's he doing here in Afica? If it were Bill who had cancer, that would be so much better!"
"To be precise, it should start tonight, honey. Have you packed your things?"
After all, ordinary tourists use public target vehicles, while wealthy tourists purchase various high-specification custom target vehicles at their own expense. These targets that can move and shoot are more immersive for tourists.
"Coming!"
"It's the Musashi. Larry and his son have arrived."
The "darling" he was referring to wasn't his son David Ellison, but rather his current girlfriend Quinn, who is 10 years younger than his daughter.
"That works too. I'll go and make an appointment, and I'll head back on the way."
Xia Yu bid farewell to Paul, who would stay in Konluga until the end of January. Once the aircraft carrier museum was running smoothly, Xia Yu would have plenty of time to entertain him.
Seventy or eighty years later, these are no longer problems; what they need to study is how to effectively destroy a tank.
“You’re right. I’m not afraid at all. No matter how much they squander money, they can’t keep up with the rate at which my assets are growing. Besides, I’m already working very hard to spend money.”
After another 10 minutes, Quinn finally came out with a waiter carrying large and small bags.
Paul, who was feeling a bit exhausted, spoke up.
"A middle-class family might fear their children's business failures would plunge the whole family back into poverty, but Mr. Ellison, would a super-rich man like you be afraid of that?"
The girl isn't exactly a typical American sweetheart, but she's quite pretty, with a slightly heroic look in her eyes.
In addition, it could use a 7.7mm aircraft machine gun to calibrate the trajectory, making this British Gunbird a well-known tank killer back in the day.
Real business warfare involves rummaging through other companies' trash cans or using a thermal fusion telescope to observe the Octopus ship from over 100 meters away.
"We are willing to help Mr. Ellison with his spending, and you will have no regrets in the coming week."
Led by a waiter to the upper deck, Xia Yu greeted old Larry, who was holding binoculars and had his back to him.
Okay, his São Paulo got dirty, but it's fine for a proper boyfriend and girlfriend. After all, some countries have themed parties on big black boats, which is really chaotic!
“Mr. Ellison is in great health. I originally thought some of the projects might be a bit too much for someone your age, but now it seems there’s no need to worry about that at all.”
Larry spoke frankly to Xia Yu.
What else could Xia Yu say? He could only go with the flow and praise the other party for being so vigorous at 73 years old, saying that it was really impressive.
Larry, who is expected to become a super VIP at the museum, deserves to be received personally by Xia Yu. After telling Liv, he took the shuttle boat to the Musashi, which had just docked.
Larry's tone was full of helplessness.
Xia Yu said, "I'll give you a ticket."
“You’re younger than I thought. Megan is older than you, but she’s over 30 and still a handful.”
Xia Yu also spoke up.
"Hello, Mr. Ellison."
The Musashi yacht, which is only 88 meters long, is still easy to identify. Despite their best efforts, they arrived at Konluga two hours later than Paul and his group. However, the captain's suite they had booked would still be reserved 24 hours a day.
"That's why I opened the museum in Afica. It's closer to Europe and there are fewer restrictions, which allows me to realize my idea of a 'museum where you can drive and shoot yourself'."
As for her marrying Larry, who is the same age as her grandfather, all we can say is that we respect her personal choice.
Because the anchorage and Pointe-Noire pier are not far apart, the group did not take a helicopter, but instead drove a shuttle boat with a speed comparable to a large aircraft to approach the São Paulo.
"Their aircraft carriers aren't as good as ours, but the F-18 is really not appealing. The F-14 is so beautiful!"
Larry continued to deliver his speech.
He's a typical looks-obsessed person; both the American and Soviet aircraft line produce beautiful planes. Who would have thought they'd produce such an ugly, low-cost carrier-based aircraft like the Hornet?
"The Tomcat is indeed very beautiful, which is why I rejected the US Navy's F-18 and chose three F-14s instead."
Xia Yu didn't sit idle; he seized the opportunity to start preparing the nest.
"Hmm, did I hear that right? You actually have an F-14? Can you sell me one? Money is no problem, just name a price."
Shocked, old Larry pulled his right hand out of his pocket and waved to his assistant for his checkbook and pen.
Compared to the F-14, money is nothing. But the problem is that in a money-driven society like the United States, if you don't have legitimate uses and channels, you can't buy many things even if you have money.
The Su-27 and MiG-29 both originated from Russia. For now, the only domestically produced third-generation fighter jet that has been de-embarked is the F-16, and even that needs to be de-weaponized.
What's the point of that? But the F-14 is much more interesting. He'd be willing to pay 40 or 50 million if Xia Yu were to sell it.
“I’m sorry, these are not for sale, but if Mr. Ellison wants to experience them in 2020, I can arrange it for you immediately.”
Xia Yu refused directly.
If you keep operating a flying money-printing machine like this, earning 30 to 50 million yuan over its entire lifespan is not a problem.
Selling it all at once would be the worst thing to do, so he's unlikely to sell it.
"That works too. You know my phone number, so you must call me."
Old Larry gave Xia Yu the same instructions he would give Ha Mandan.
Since you can't have it, spending money to experience it is the same. Besides, he will only be 76 years old in 20 years. Even if he is not as strong and enduring as he is now, his condition will not decline too much.
However, even though he turned 80 at the age of 24, this confident to the point of narcissism wasn't very confident that he could still keep up with the pace.
"No problem, this is your captain's suite. There is a full set of uniforms in the wardrobe. I hope Captain Ellison and Miss Quinn will enjoy life on board."
After bringing the May-December couple into the captain's cabin, Xia Yu took his leave.
He couldn't imagine how fierce the battle was behind him; he still had to make final preparations for the official opening tomorrow.
The interior of the aircraft carrier was also brightly lit. After a week of trial operation, many problems in the areas for tourists staying on board were properly resolved.
The problem is tourists. According to the accommodation information compiled from various hotels and inns in Kongluga, the aircraft carrier museum will see more than 10,000 visitors tomorrow.
Although not everyone may buy a ticket and board the ship, it will still be a considerable challenge for the São Paulo.
He could only hope that everything would go smoothly tomorrow. However, he would be responsible for maintaining order, fire control, and defense on the ship, while the military and police would jointly manage the shore.
As a private military contractor, Jihuo Defense has risen rapidly in the past two years, and has moved across most of Afica, making quite a few enemies in the process.
It's nothing unusual for him to retaliate immediately after a raid on his mine.
But at this critical moment, we can't afford any mistakes. That's why Xia Yu specially recalled the instructor team to deal with any emergencies, hoping that no one would be foolish enough to cause trouble.
"Calling the boss, this is Fennec Fox, vessel number 02 has detected an anomaly."
Xia Yu had just hung up a phone call and hadn't even taken a sip of water when he received Lao Ke's report.
"Oh, what's wrong?"
He glanced at the time; it was already past 3 a.m. Christian's submarine chaser No. 2 and Mariano's submarine No. 1 were patrolling the waters around Black Point Pier.
The sudden anomaly could not be ignored.
"It's an underwater acoustic detection station for the anti-frogman rocket artillery system. The sonar indicates that there seem to be two large objects underwater."
Old Ke reported the details to Xia Yu.
So, is it a shark or a dolphin?
Swimming is allowed on this side of the beach at Black Point Pier, but Xia Yu didn't put up any shark nets, so she asked immediately.
"They were about the same size, but the sonar also picked up the sound of the propeller."
"Is that so?"
Xia Yu instantly became excited; there was a big fish!
"The two targets are slowly approaching Pointe-Noire Pier and will be able to reach the São Paulo in at most 3 hours."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's just take them down!"
Xia Yu directly authorized the attack; if they wanted to disrupt his business, they could forget about going back. He was just looking to see if the anti-frogman system on the submarine chaser was worth it, and this gave him the opportunity to test it.
"Yes, boss!"
With his boss's words in mind, Christian nodded directly to the foreign instructor opposite him.
The frogman rocket launchers on the two submarine chasers are fully automatic weapon systems that can automatically detect moving underwater targets, automatically assess the threat situation, and fire autonomously without the need for personnel intervention.
However, PMC companies like Jihuo Defense deal with threats of a lower level, and it is still possible to launch a counterattack after personnel intervention.
So the authorized instructors contacted their colleagues on another boat, assigned targets to each other, and then pressed the launch button together.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"
Two ships, less than a kilometer apart, lit up with streaks of fire amidst the roar of rockets, piercing the night before shooting into the sea.
The two twin 10-tube launchers fired 20 rounds of 55mm anti-frogman rocket-propelled grenades in one go, and then they were all submerged in the water.
"Bang bang bang"
A series of underwater explosions were followed by countless fleeting flashes of light, and then the world went quiet.
Each anti-frogman rocket grenade equipped with a high-explosive warhead can create an effective kill radius of 80 cubic meters. A salvo of 20 such grenades is incredibly powerful.
So these days, who still uses frogmen to fight frogmen? Time is of the essence, and there's not even time to put on the equipment. Using anti-frogman rocket launchers is the fastest way.
"Reload the rocket launcher and launch Sparrowhawk A to search along the coastline."
Xia Yu continued to issue orders.
Frogmen cannot function without the support of the logistics team. Although it may be a bit late, the necessary search must still proceed.
"If only we had a RAV4 at a time like this, we could have Mariano and the others get their equipment ready and go in to check the situation."
Thinking of the professional underwater filming equipment he had seen on the Octopus, Xia Yu said with some regret.
Instead of disturbing people's rest by going to borrow their place, we should just send frogmen down to check it out.
"Yes, boss!"
Xia Yu's order was quickly relayed to Mariano, and the instructors' frogman team immediately donned their diving gear and prepared to go into the sea.
Meanwhile, the village protection team members who remained in Bogo Village also launched drones into the air to search along the coastline.
…………
"Boss, mission failed. Lakovice and his entire force were wiped out. The concentrated fire defenses were prepared!"
As the various departments of Jihuo Defense were mobilized, a phone call was made.
"I understand. Continue to remain silent."
They didn't exchange more than a few words before the other end of the call ended.
Meanwhile, the four frogmen from Jihuo Defense arrived at the target area by speedboat and sank headfirst into the water.
The powerful underwater searchlights illuminated the surface, and Mariano and Tom led the way, diving deeper until they spotted a large "mine" with visible shredded fabric.
Yes, it looks more like an old-fashioned mine than a torpedo, but it has a propeller and a cockpit.
Behind the shattered glass were two unrecognizable corpses.
That's right, this is a miniature submarine specifically designed for infiltration behind enemy lines. One of the two targets detected by the sonar station is this thing.
However, Lawrence and Daniel did not find the other submarine.
