"Load the trucks quickly and make sure to leave before dawn."
"Yes, sir!"
Ruaman's B platoon has talented people. Upon receiving Old Ke's instructions, they selected someone who could drive a forklift. First, they forked the heavy safe onto the container, and then they gathered the ammunition boxes scattered in different containers and forked them into the container with the truck cab.
The machine team was far superior to the manual team; they finished all the work in just over an hour.
The remaining people selected five pickup trucks that were in decent condition and evacuated the mine before dawn.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"
Just as the shack area was unguarded and the local black miners were peeking around, a series of shells landed in the mine's office area.
"Boom boom boom boom"
The artillery crew fired 20 shells in one go, and the artillery fire completely covered the "crime scene".
Xie Kao's new gun was barely warmed up before Xia Yu considered it his for the taking. He hoped that not many of them would be damaged by machine gun fire, otherwise he would have to recycle the non-metallic printing presses and heavy machines.
After noon, the convoy finally returned to the Jihuo Defense camp in Kamalon.
Those with minor injuries can be sutured directly in the first stage, while those with serious injuries can only be sutured after the wound has healed and there is no infection, just like Xiao Anka.
"Europeans certainly like the euro, and these people are from Romania."
The third brother said from the side.
After lunch, Lao Ke and his group went back to their barracks to sleep, while Xia Yu tallied up the profits from the arms deals.
There were more than 30 large-caliber heavy machine guns, and more than a dozen 60mm and 82mm mortars.
"Boiling guns" doesn't mean putting guns in a pot to boil; it means boiling water and pouring it into the barrel to rinse and seal the gun with grease. Xie Kao's people changed their equipment quite quickly.
These three were lucky; the two soldiers whose deaths were confirmed at the mine had already been put into body bags and would be taken back to Kongluga for burial.
"That's convenient. Nirilya can produce AKs themselves, but the surrounding Sahel countries can't. We'll see who's willing to take on this batch of goods."
"Same as always, we'll settle accounts after the weapons are sold, and for cash, we'll distribute them once the figures are released."
Xia Yu's focus was clearly elsewhere than on money.
Well, I can't do anything illegal; I can only think about it.
Newcomers should perform well, especially since they are using the best infantry fighting vehicles in the entire company. It would be embarrassing if their output was not good.
The euros and US dollars have been counted, and the total cash proceeds from this trip amount to 7.53 million euros and 1.31 million US dollars.
He was seen flipping through a thick stack of passports stained with blood.
"I've been in Afica for several years, and this is the first time I've seen so many euros."
The shipment included over 800 AKs of various types, including long-duration and short-duration aircraft. This portion is likely intended for retail and wholesale, as shipments in containers like last week are not a monthly occurrence.
However, 200 euro notes are not as common as these 50 or 100 euro notes, whether in Europe or in Afica.
Their contract expires in a few months, and if it weren't for the ban on these things in their hometown, they would have liked to get one as a souvenir to take back with them.
As Xia Yu spoke, sparks flew from the safe over there, which had been cut in half.
"This little grip is quite interesting, but the magazine isn't very good; we need to replace it with our 75-round drum magazine."
Lao Ben led the crew members in a loud response.
Just as Christian reported, the tongue wasn't lying.
In another container, Lao Liu was holding an AIM-74 and reporting to Xia Yu.
Seeing box after box of brightly colored banknotes, Hans spoke with great emotion.
"Boss, the people from Boko Holy Land bought a lot of new rifles last time. In the aerial footage from the other day, they were boiling water to cook the guns."
This habit has also been carried over to these retired soldiers, who can also sell their products through product demonstrations, just like Jihuo Defense sells infantry fighting vehicles.
Romagna is an exception. Why waste money? AIM and AK are working fine together, why bother changing them?
The group from Group 3 pried open a wooden crate and pulled out an AIMS folding assault rifle from an oil paper package.
However, it is necessary to take down an arms dealer that supplies extremist groups, not to mention that the matter is not over yet.
Then there are anti-tank missiles and man-portable air defense systems, which are mostly Soviet-made. It's possible that Romagna's arms dealers will only be able to get their hands on Western products once a conflict breaks out nearby!
As Xia Yu spoke, he looked at Benjamin and the other two who were doing odd jobs.
The fact that Lao Ke had caught the tongue indicated that Xia Yu intended to dig deeper to see who was so bold.
The Spanish crime drama series he's been watching recently, I think it's called "Money Heist," features a gang that doesn't rob banks, but instead robs a banknote printing plant and prints their own untraceable 200-euro banknotes.
Xia Yu first arranged for the hungry crowd to eat, while he himself instructed the remaining personnel to count the spoils of war.
Right now, the main focus is on clearing inventory and raising funds so that we have the resources to buy more goods.
After finishing their work, Dorothea also completed the amputation surgery and cleaned the wounds of the remaining two wounded soldiers.
This can also be seen from the weapons used and sold by the other side. It is true that the AK series is popular in Afica, but most of the special forces of the former Allied countries have abandoned the old AK and opted to use more sophisticated Western European weapons.
"7.62mm can't beat 35mm, so it'll be up to you guys then, you mole!"
"Yes, boss!"
Converted, it's about $10 million short.
Selling those weapons to extremist groups might net you 6 million euros, but selling them to legitimate buyers at half price is still a bit expensive.
About 2.5 million!
Xia Yu only does arms dealing part-time, but he still has some understanding of the market.
The arms sold to Boko Haram are even less after discounts because the anti-tank mines already buried in the ground cannot be recovered.
At most, he completed the physical escape from the minefield and recovered equipment such as printed bombs and rockets from the storage depot.
If you absolutely need landmines, you have to get a mine-laying vehicle first. We've always been doing surprise attacks and annihilation operations, and Jihuo Defense has never actually laid mines before.
However, in Xia Yu's first battle before starting his company, due to a lack of manpower, he spent money to buy anti-tank mines to block the target's exit.
However, while running a company requires cost reduction and efficiency improvement, collecting requires a comprehensive approach.
His underwater tomb would require an entire fleet, so his main land-based mausoleum would need at least a full complement of infantry brigades, armored brigades, air defense brigades, engineer brigades… and so on.
It has to be from different countries and different periods. If you can't afford to play with toy soldiers when you're a kid, it takes a lifetime to heal from that kind of childhood, and you won't be able to stop until you kick the bucket.
"It's open, boss!"
Kuhn removed his mask and waved to Xia Yu.
There's no rush to collect equipment; he has at least 50 years to slowly gather it.
The cut-open safe cabinet door was pulled up, revealing bags of gold dust inside.
Looking at the labels on them, they are all marked with dates and weights. The quantity is estimated to be over a hundred bags, which is roughly a quarter's worth.
"This is probably the output for the entire rainy season. Maybe if we wait a little longer, they'll just ship it back to Europe for refining."
Xia Yu picked up a few bags and weighed them in his hand, saying...
The same method was used to smuggle weapons and equipment into Afica and transport the gold dust back to Romagna. However, a person in charge had to escort the shipment, which unexpectedly benefited Jihuo Defense.
As he guessed, even if the gold dust wasn't transported back, it would be hauled to the Jado Plateau in northeastern Niger as start-up capital for a new mine (new sales point).
Unfortunately, a surprise attack by the second-line defense forces completely eradicated all of the enemy's tentacles in Afica.
More details: Sergei and his men are entertaining the captured interrogator, and news will be available soon.
Xia Yu is now more curious about the weight of the gold.
He wasn't interested in money, but who doesn't like shiny, gold things?
"The total weight is 321.6 kg, and the purity of the sample is around 80%."
After unpacking all the gold dust and mixing it together, weighing it, and then selecting samples to test its gold content, Xia Yu quickly obtained the approximate data.
Last week, the price of gold on the New York Stock Exchange surged to $1,346 per ounce, but has since fallen back by several tens of dollars, now hovering around $1,300.
That works out to 280 RMB per gram.
The market was better than last year, but still not as good as the nearly $2,000/ounce in 2011. However, that was temporary, and soon after, the crazy Chinese "aunties" got trapped.
Xia Yu has a good attitude and is open to financial management, but he is neither professional nor has the energy to specialize in this.
Not to mention that he has other uses for these physical golds, and he has been accumulating them all this time without ever giving them out, so he doesn't care about price fluctuations.
"It's still around $10 million. This deployment has been going on for so long, and everyone has finally made a profit. We'll settle the accounts along with the arms sales later."
Everyone was pleased to hear what the boss said, especially Lao Huang and his group whose contract was about to expire.
Of course, they can choose to stay, but isn't that also a test?
Only by withstanding temptations can one prove that they are worthy of being entrusted with important responsibilities and can achieve greater success on a different track.
Money is important, but not the most important thing. They all still remember their ideals and ambitions, and they remember to bring back the experience and skills they have accumulated from real-world practice, and help the younger generation improve like good older brothers.
These good older brothers are like leeks, growing in batches. This group is the first batch, and the second batch has already been selected.
From now until February next year, new recruits will receive comprehensive language training, professional knowledge enhancement, and self-defense skills training.
They have more time than Lao Huang and his team, so they will likely integrate into the company's operational system more quickly.
According to AFP, in the early hours of the 12th local time, an unidentified armed group attacked a gold mine in southern Niger, using heavy artillery...
In Rome, a small, old man with a big nose stared blankly at a computer screen displaying a recorded clip from a French television station.
At the same time, in a treehouse somewhere in the Sambisa Forest in Niriliya, the television was broadcasting the local Niriliya news in English.
[...According to Major Laukra, a large amount of weapon and equipment debris was found at the gold mine site. Combined with testimonies from local mine employees, it can be confirmed that the mine operator was also engaged in underground arms sales, and the person in charge was...]
The news was posted here, and Mordovan's photo was also included.
“That’s right, Chief, this is the Jack I made the deal with.”
Sahaba quickly reported this to Shekao.
He recognized Mordovan, but the man had been using an alias.
"Using gold mines as a cover for arms deals was a good idea, but unfortunately we were still targeted and lost a weapons import channel."
Xie Kao shook his head and sighed.
He never considered double-crossing them, because the number of weapons they needed was large, and there weren't many sellers with the resources and courage to supply them.
Unfortunately, the other side was outnumbered and was completely wiped out, along with their money and goods.
Boko Holy Land currently has enough weapons and equipment, but it can only last for six months at most. After that, they must find new sources of supply.
Xie Kao's attention was focused on finding a new seller, and he did not connect the attackers to Ji Huo Defense.
This is normal; mines are frequently attacked in Afica, sometimes successfully and sometimes unsuccessfully.
It is known that a certain mine not only has money but also weapons. No armed group of a thousand or so people could resist it. They might even have bought the mortars they use from the other side. In the end, this job ruined Boko Holy Land's plans.
"It might have been done by those people from West Felix province. They happen to be active in Niger. These hypocritical guys have connections in the Sahel, which is why they didn't hold back at all."
Xie Kao then said resentfully.
Heretics are more hateful than heretics, and he regretted pledging allegiance to Ace.
If it weren't for Nirilya's meddling, Boco Holy Land might have wiped out the province of Essisi last month.
As a result, they were thwarted, while the other side acquired a large quantity of weapons and their 6 million euros.
No wonder Buhari's government was completely outmaneuvered by them; if it were him, he would definitely have dealt with the newly formed West Philippines province.
Shekau's thinking suggests he has ulterior motives, but the governments of most Afica countries are indeed incompetent.
The other party only hired concentrated fire defense forces to strike Boko Sanctuary; Ace Escifi Province was not covered by the contract.
After being thoroughly beaten, it's not impossible for a newcomer to rise to prominence.
If Niriyaya is capable of striking, that's fine. But if they still can't handle it even with new equipment, then they'll have to ask Guoqing for concentrated fire support, and that will come at a different price.
Xia Yu hadn't intended to make money this way, but he couldn't do anything about the new orders coming his way.
Indeed, peace is just a pipe dream; chaos and turmoil are the norm.
…………
Having dealt with the arms dealers as an appetizer, Xia Yu turned his attention back to the Sambisa Forest.
The area covered by anti-tank minefields laid by Boko Haram is marked on the map, with drones monitoring the area 24 hours a day.
The enemy left themselves a passage, but it was too much trouble for the concentrated fire defense, so they chose to clear the way with explosive tape and mine-clearing plows.
One dedicated mine-clearing vehicle and one part-time mine-clearing vehicle are enough.
As for low-value targets, Alvin would fly his F-4K to conduct low-frequency bombing raids on all the small outposts in the forest.
By firing two rounds at each target, the armored convoy can avoid having to make another trip, which is highly efficient.
In terms of combat effectiveness, destroying strongholds achieves the operational objective; the number of casualties inflicted is not the most important factor, and this is mainly achieved by ground and low-altitude main forces.
In this deployment at Niri-Liya, the high-altitude fixed-wing aircraft is playing a supporting role.
