Of course, the bare T-72 is not something that can be easily bullied by 14.5mm, but target practice is not combat; the main focus is on sound and light effects.
Especially since it got dark early today, the sparks flying off the armored steel under the setting sun were exceptionally beautiful.
It's a pity his Bluetooth speaker was put away, otherwise playing "Sparkling Fire" would have been very fitting.
Xia Yu destroyed one and a half boxes, leaving the remaining half box for Jerome to enjoy. By the time they returned to the previous warehouse, it was completely dark.
Old Jie climbed out of the cabin first, and Xia Yu, who followed behind, glanced at the motorcycle hour meter in the driver's seat.
After 436 hours of driving and more than 20 years of storage, this car is only about 50% new.
Reprinting the removed weapons and restoring the entire vehicle to 80% condition will take at least 15 man-hours; the situation is even worse for other vehicles.
If you do the math, it will take about ten days for 13 trucks, plus 7 weasel trucks. By the time they arrive at Konglujia Port, Xiayu should be able to supply 50% of the goods.
This amount is enough for Old Anka to conduct equipment training; the remaining 50% will be delivered along with the printed ammunition.
For small countries without ammunition production capabilities, selling supplies is a sustainable business.
Xia Yu's company unknowingly gained another source of income, which was achieved only when Old Anka was injured.
After the test drive, instead of signing a contract and paying, Jerome invited Xia Yu to a local specialty restaurant.
Rice is a topic that humans can never avoid. They ordered pork ribs, carrot and venison soup, and ok dumplings that weren't dumplings.
This stuff not only has no filling, but after fermentation, it tastes like the steamed rice cake from my hometown, so it's not bad as a staple food.
Xia Yu's trip to Europe was mainly for purchasing goods, but she also took the opportunity to travel and relax.
"Frank, this is a gift for you. We don't have any special products here, but this is quite famous internationally. You can use it when you take it back."
As they were finishing their meal, Jerome took a gift box out of his briefcase and handed it to Xia Yu with both hands.
"Thank you, this is like a work of art, I really like your gift."
Upon opening the packaging, Xia Yu was greeted by a stainless steel pistol, which he immediately recognized as the legendary CZ75.
This is indeed a specialty of the brand, and it's a relatively rare stainless steel version. It would cost several hundred dollars in North America, so it's truly a great deal.
Although Xia Yu's identity was fake, he could indeed use the pistol when he returned to Afica, so the dinner was a pleasant one for both the host and guests.
We returned to the hotel that Ex Company had booked for us, rested for one night, and then formally discussed the contract the next day.
Since it was a waste disposal business, Ex Company's price was not high, only $1.8 million for a package deal, which was practically a giveaway. Moreover, they were responsible for arranging railcars to deliver the waste to the Port of Hamburg.
As a professional military equipment manufacturer, and given that these are old, de-armed artifacts, coordinating transportation is very convenient for them. For a foreigner like Xia Yu, there's no such influence; his influence currently only holds some sway with Kong Lujia.
After 50% of the payment was made, the dismantling of the equipment's weapons officially began.
With the btR-80's light and heavy machine guns removed, its deterrent power instantly diminishes; with the Mi-24's weapon pylons removed from both sides, the sense of oppression immediately disappears.
Finally, after a thorough cleanup, these old guys were loaded onto the train one by one. Passengers at the station thought it was a military train!
Since the destination was Hanburg in ? country, Ex Company sent its salesman Jerome as a representative, who traveled to the port with Xia Yu by train.
Using the special lane is great; once the documents are confirmed to be complete, they let you through directly.
After paying the remaining 50% of the payment, Xia Yu and Jerome waved goodbye, also bidding farewell to the false identity of Frank Lee.
"Buzz~~"
Two 60-ton marine cranes tightened their slings, efficiently lifting these vehicles that couldn't fit into containers into the cargo hold.
For this purchase, Xia Yu specially chartered a 5,000-ton general cargo ship. The nine weasel trucks in the port warehouse had already been moved to the deepest part of the cargo hold, disguised as a large quantity of general merchandise he had purchased, mainly toilet paper.
Yes, even toilet paper has to be imported. The few toilet paper manufacturers in Busa can't even meet the needs of the capital city, let alone other cities.
From when Lao Xia came to Afica to work when he was a child, to when Xia Yu came out to work on his own, he always bought suitcases that were exactly the right size.
As long as it doesn't exceed the weight limit, all the nooks and crannies that are not used are stuffed with toilet paper. By using it sparingly, you don't have to buy overpriced imported toilet paper.
Unexpectedly, just a few short years later, Xia Yu was buying toilet paper by the ship, which was incredibly extravagant.
Of course, there were also toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels... These daily necessities were all shipped from China to Europe, but before they were unloaded, Xia Yu intercepted them and took them to his own ship.
After all, it's a ship that can carry 5,000 tons of cargo, while the total weight of 30 vehicles and 1 helicopter is less than 600 tons. So whether it's to cover his tracks or to subsidize his travel expenses, he needs to stock up on more cargo.
If 5,000 tons isn't enough, then 3,600 tons is necessary. So, in addition to 600 tons of special cargo, there are also 3,000 tons of general cargo.
First, 1,000 tons of cement of various grades were placed in the ballast tank. Then, ton bags filled with soybeans, flour, and rice were hoisted into the cargo hold one by one, fitted with partitions, and stuffed in until the hold was completely full.
Xia Yu spent almost all of the $5.12 million he brought this time, but these ordinary shipments alone were enough to recoup half of his investment, not to mention the total contract value of the special goods, which was $25.6 million.
Converted to RMB, he unknowingly achieved a small goal.
Wearing sunglasses and standing with his hands on his hips at the bow of the ship, Xia Yu wanted to sing a song called "Young and Promising" to pay tribute to his daring and adventurous life.
"Sir, the port has granted us permission to leave. Shall we depart now?"
The Italian captain came over to ask Xia Yu about the situation. Although it's common to hire a security company to escort a ship, it's not uncommon for cargo owners to do it themselves. Moreover, they discovered that this Asian cargo owner had rather unconventional methods.
"Then let's go!"
Xia Yu said with high spirits.
"Beep~~"
With a long, drawn-out whistle, the West African Star cargo ship slowly left its berth, carrying Xia Yu's hopes for a bright future as it sailed out of the harbor.
Xia Yu took out his satellite phone and dialed Old Anka's number.
"Mr. Sherlock, you finally called me. I've found the instructors for the tanks, and all the trainees you selected have started their theory classes. I've checked the progress, and it seems to be going well."
Old Anka spoke like a machine gun.
Xia Yu hadn't contacted him; he had so much to say but couldn't bring himself to say it.
"I've been busy with your affairs, so I called you as soon as I finished. The goods have been loaded onto the ship and set sail. It should arrive in Kongluga in two and a half weeks at most."
Xia Yu replied calmly.
It's better to have people waiting for equipment than to have equipment waiting for people. Therefore, he suggested that Old Anka select soldiers with high school education to drive infantry fighting vehicles, those with junior high school education to drive transport vehicles, and those who are brave in combat and have excellent marksmanship to be selected as elite mechanized infantry squads.
The key to defeating the rebels was such a spearhead force. Konglujia's two infantry battalions were only suitable for defensive tasks, and at most, they could provide high-quality soldiers for the mechanized infantry battalion.
