"Kuhn, you made the right choice. Welcome to our company."
In the waiting area, Xia Yu successfully picked up Kuhn, who was alone.
"Sherlock, what is our company called? I still don't even know what our company's name is."
The two shook hands, and Kuhn punched Hans in the chest before finally having a chance to ask a question.
"Concentrate fire, concentrate fire for defense."
Xia Yu replied with a smile.
In the past, it was all small-scale operations, but now it's become a formalized operation with recruitment and staffing.
"A good name, it fits the company culture very well."
Kuhn also agreed.
During training at the Anka Mechanized Infantry Battalion, the employer repeatedly emphasized that the soldiers should be taught to solve problems using machine guns as much as possible.
In live-fire training, plus several battles in Bomato, the average number of shells consumed by each vehicle was over 600, which is only half of the base number.
But when it came to Xia Yu's side, Hans had destroyed the cannon barrel.
The company is a bit small, so when war breaks out, bullets, shells, and rocket launchers are thrown out like they're free.
It still costs money; even without processing fees, he still has to buy materials. Fortunately, the profits are still considerable.
"Sergeant, our vehicle has been sent for modification. The boss said it has a lot of new features."
Hans finally got a word in.
"If you don't know how, I'll teach you later."
"Then thank you. As long as it's related to infantry fighting vehicles, there's no function that I, Kuhn, can't learn."
"You're hiding Hans badly," Kuhn said irritably.
He may be a bit old, but he keeps up with the times.
You have to admit, Kuhn really has the right to be arrogant.
The Milan-3 missile on the A5 has been fired more than once. With the Russian Kornet, operation will only be simpler.
This foundation was built with taxpayers' money; Xia Yu lacks the system and cannot afford this level of training.
"We're still short a driver, but we're not in a rush for a gunner. Kuhn, you can fill in for now."
The three got into the car, Hans was sent to drive, and Xia Yu and Kuhn chatted in the back.
"It's alright. The commander is just a backup. If the gunner chooses to stay and work long-term, he can usually become a commander too."
After Kuhn finished speaking, he glanced at Hans.
If this kid hadn't come out, he would probably have been promoted to commander, whether it was the commander of the Weasel or the commander of the Leopard 2.
"There are few drivers, but Domi is a great guy. He's the best black driver I've ever seen."
"There's one who's a bit less skilled than Domi, but he's a bit younger, and I have other plans."
Xia Yu said with some regret.
Even if Sophia agreed, he would never bring the pillar to the battlefield.
Using child labor is illegal; using child sex is... well, you know.
He should just stay home, collect entrance fees, and take tourists around, becoming a ruthless money-making machine for his godfather.
"If that doesn't work, we can have 01's people temporarily take on the role. Special forces members are trained in special driving skills and can drive tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, but they are not as strong as specialists."
Xia Yu offered a compromise.
In addition to the infantry fighting vehicle driver, he also wanted to recruit a second helicopter pilot.
“That works too. Just like you said, boss, when the infantry fighting vehicle is deployed in a two-vehicle team, the mobility of the infantry fighting vehicle becomes less important.”
Kuhn nodded in agreement.
When is the mobility of an infantry fighting vehicle important? Of course, it's when a single vehicle crew wiped out three BMP-2s and two PT-76Ms, just like before.
Apart from the mechanized infantry squad it carried, it received no assistance.
Only the best crews can be equipped with sufficiently robust heavy infantry fighting vehicles to maximize the vehicle's extreme mobility.
With two train sets now in operation, and a transport vehicle (MT) blocking the way in front, the reduced mobility caused by a regular driver does not affect the train set's survivability.
"Once the Panaka contract is finalized, we'll probably have to go on a trip abroad together."
Whether you're driving an infantry fighting vehicle or a helicopter, you won't find that among the lowest-ranking mercenaries.
Not to mention, Xia Yu's requirements are very strict; he only wants the best.
The three returned to Bogo village, and Hans helped carry their luggage to the room next to his.
Xia Yu's villa was built for a reason; it has enough rooms to accommodate an additional train crew.
Of course, people can also live on the second floor partitioned off from the parking lot, and two beds can be set up in the corner of the hangar.
"Let's all raise our glasses and welcome Commander Kuhn to the team!"
At dinner, Xia Yu raised his beer and said.
"Welcome, welcome, Kuhn, Kuhn!"
There weren't many people, the atmosphere was great, and the food was better than at Anka Armored Camp.
Kuhn was once again certain that he had not made the wrong choice.
With a base salary of seven thousand US dollars per month, plus various subsidies and bonuses, how could it be wrong?
After all, it's a business that requires risking one's life. Xia Yu made money, and he didn't mind sharing the wealth with his employees.
"Kuhn, you've been to Panaka, what's the situation there?"
Xia Yu didn't miss this opportunity to learn more and asked Kuhn.
"The rebels destroyed another T-64B1M in Busa. Their T-72s are T-72AV models, but only some of them are equipped with Kontakt-1 explosive reactive armor."
Kuhn downed a beer without stopping them from getting down to business.
"I think either the equipment was poorly preserved or it was heavily depleted. The rebels can only concentrate their remaining explosives on the tank crews that have achieved results, which is good for us."
Xia Yu suggested two possibilities.
Contact 1 is an old product from the Su Lian era, but even the oldest explosive reactive armor can save your life in a crisis, especially since the penetration depth of the mango round is only 460mm at 2000 meters.
Even at closer range, which may mitigate some of the damage, the tank's own armor can still withstand it.
In the early stages, Busa had already helped deplete the rebels' reserves of explosives. Now that it's Xia Yu's turn to take the field, they'll likely encounter quite a few unequipped T-72s.
"Yes, now that our infantry fighting vehicles are equipped with anti-tank missiles, I can also contribute my strength."
Kuhn initially thought that dealing with the rebels' T-72s was none of his business, but since his combat capabilities had improved, he felt he would be letting Xia Yu down if he didn't take down two T-72s.
"Oh, right, I forgot to mention, they also have some T-55s, which are quite useful in urban warfare."
Busa and Panaka fought back and forth, neither able to gain the upper hand, but several PMC companies destroyed a few tanks.
"The white top hat provided the pilot, who flew a Su-25 Frogfoot from the Busa Air Force and took down two of them, and also bombed many important rebel facilities."
Xia Yu had specifically asked Kuhn to keep an eye on the White Hats, but unexpectedly, they've actually put in the work this time.
She probably doesn't want to be outdone by him; that would be too embarrassing.
"Don't they have their own combat aircraft?"
"Yes, I heard there were a few old Super Étendards and two Mirage F1s, but they weren't transferred over."
Selling retired aircraft to domestic PMC companies is a long-standing tradition in Germany.
After all, these companies represent an extension of their influence in Afica.
"They're quite shrewd; they take other people's money, use their planes, and help them fight wars."
Xia Yu knew what was going on.
Busa's offer was not enough to get these PMC capitalists to use airplanes.
Fortunately, the old Soviet aircraft were quite durable, and with their Soviet pilots on board, their combat effectiveness was even stronger.
