The scenery along the way was similar to that on the way to Busa, with endless tropical rainforests as far as the eye could see.
It is teeming with life, yet it devours life, making it completely unsuitable for modern humans to live in.
However, Panaka is at a higher altitude, so the weather is drier and cooler, and importantly, there are oil fields there.
If there is no war, Panaka will be the most suitable city for investment and development in the country, besides Busa and Konluga.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs," and this is exactly what happened, and similar things have happened in more than just this one country.
This is the environment in which PMC and its low-level mercenaries survive.
If Xia Yu goes bankrupt for the second time, there will definitely be other reasons. It's not because of world peace that there are no more wars to fight.
Upon arriving at the designated assembly point, Xia Yu could already see that it was fenced off with barbed wire.
Armored vehicles and trucks were parked together in the central military camp.
To maintain secrecy, these armored vehicles were also covered with tarpaulins.
Xia Yu flew around once and found a temporary infantry battalion's camp a few kilometers away.
Konglujia left only one infantry battalion to garrison the area, and sent out two infantrymen with one armored unit each.
However, the infantry battalion that came with them was not tasked with the main offensive mission.
The real offensive force was the Anka mechanized infantry battalion, 200 mercenaries, and Xia Yu's vehicle crew.
Flying back to Anka, Xia Yu landed on a clearing specifically designated for their camp.
"Wow, Mi 24! This Anka is really something else."
In front of the tent in the mercenary quarter, a burly black mercenary muttered something.
He looked up as the helicopter landed, and made the information into his mind.
This guy wasn't a spy sent by the rebels; he was a regular employee of the White Hats.
The branch company had suffered a loss in the past and wanted to find out more about Xiao Anka, so they sent him to impersonate a free agent mercenary and assign him to fight in Kongluga by the familiar PMC labor company.
It's a casual move, just to gather some basic information; I don't expect it to be of much use.
Xia Yu knew that there would be some spies mixed in with the 200 mercenaries, but he didn't care.
The company currently has 3 full-time employees, 6 outsourced temporary workers, and one village of external support staff.
With those company assets, they are now a formidable force, far removed from the predicament they faced when they went it alone.
I wouldn't go so far as to sing a song called "Exaggeration," but I'm quite interested in showing off my skills in front of these established PMC companies.
After getting off the plane, Xia Yu and Xiao Anka shook hands and hugged.
Showing respect to the man standing behind you alongside your father is the most basic thing you should do, even if he has already paid you.
“Mr. Sherlock, your tent has been set up.”
"Call me by my nickname, Weasel. There is no Sherlock here."
Upon entering the battlefield, Xia Yu was already in a state of readiness.
"Then, Mr. Weasel, this way please."
Little Anka raised his hand.
Under the influence of his father and uncle, he finally began to resemble a commander.
"please!"
Three military tents were allocated to Xia Yu, each with an area of about 20 to 30 square meters, and parking space was also provided nearby.
"This one on the side is a warehouse, which can be used to store supplies; the one in the middle is the command tent, which has compartments inside; and the one on this side is the soldiers' dormitory tent, which can house at least one squad."
Little Anka explained the function of each tent to everyone.
The beds, tables, and chairs inside are all ready-made, so they can just move in with their bags.
"I'm sorry to trouble you. I still need to go out and pick up the equipment. I'll call you for a meeting tonight if there's anything else."
"Okay, I'll send you a car."
The climate in Panaka is alright, but without a car, it's still impossible to get around.
Xia Yu didn't stand on ceremony and immediately arranged for everyone to stay.
Hans moved a bed to the warehouse tent, Domi stayed with him in the command tent, and Sergei and the others stayed in the dormitory tent.
As for where BMW will stay, there's no need to rush. Just wait for the trailer to come back and build a shed for it against the shipping container.
After working for half a day, Xia Yu finally drove away from the camp in the Hummer that Xiao Anka had bought himself.
He first drove the trailer back, and then used the camp's wheeled crane to unload the container next to the tent.
He had Hans and his men organize the supplies and ammunition, and then they went out twice more, bringing back all the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.
Without the system, Xia Yu really couldn't have handled all this logistics and transportation on his own, but thankfully he finally got it done.
Send Domi to return the Hummer, and Hans has already started preparing dinner.
"Our meerkat chef is preparing to stew something; I'm not really craving Chinese food right now."
Xia Yu jokingly walked into the open-air kitchen.
They just arrived, and there will still be fresh vegetables and meat available for the next couple of days.
After ten days or half a month, all that will be left are root vegetables that can be stored for a long time, as well as sausages and smoked meats.
"I'll stew it in a couple of days. Today I'm planning to make green pepper and shredded pork rice with tomato and egg soup."
When a foreign chef cooks Chinese food, something just doesn't feel right.
But Hans had been learning from Lao Yu for several weeks, so he should be able to cook these two home-style dishes without any problems.
"Then we'll wait to start eating. Good luck, Chef Meerkat!"
Xia Yu offered verbal encouragement, but said that asking him to help would only cause trouble; he was not even as good as Domi as a helper.
Sure enough, he was destined to be a boss; he couldn't cook and only knew how to take advantage of others.
Back at the command tent, Domi returned the car and picked up a map, which marked all the towns where the rebels were stationed.
Of course, the locations of those two infantry battalions were marked with red emphasis, but it's unknown whether the other side fled.
Let's conduct some close reconnaissance in the next couple of days. Sending the Mi-24V there might alert the enemy.
Xia Yu made a decision after thinking it over.
These days, if you can launch a sneak attack, who's going to engage in a head-on confrontation?
Of course, I wouldn't back down if I faced him head-on.
Dinner wasn't ready yet when little Anka came over again, seemingly wanting to freeload.
"Mr. Yellow Weasel, this pork rice is delicious."
Not knowing how to use chopsticks, he ate half a plate of rice with a spoon before finally finding time to praise it.
"You should thank our meerkat chef; he actually learned how to make non-spicy shredded pork with green peppers."
Xia Yu did not take credit for himself, but instead promoted Hans.
Lao Yu taught Hans how to choose between super spicy and non-spicy green peppers.
This was beyond Xia Yu's knowledge, but as long as his dish was spicy, it was fine.
"Dad and Kuhn won't arrive until tomorrow night, and we can't launch our attack until the day after tomorrow at the earliest."
After dinner, Domi cleared away the dishes and went outside, where the two finally got down to business.
“Yesterday I sent out two BTR-80 crews to patrol within a 10-kilometer radius of the camp.”
"On the way back, we were attacked by militants who used RPGs, but fortunately they were ineffective. The gunner was taken out by machine gunners in time."
Armored personnel carriers can't withstand rocket launchers, but within the range of rocket launchers, machine guns are king.
This is similar to how anti-tank teams are not very effective against regular armored forces.
The ambush failed, and the fates of the Japanese soldiers with rocket launchers and those with spiked mines were almost identical.
Otherwise, those anti-tank missiles wouldn't dare to be so expensive. The difference in range between a few hundred meters and at least a kilometer makes a world of difference in personnel survival rates.
“They know we’re here. Tomorrow I’ll send someone to investigate them. The information on the map is already outdated.”
Xia Yu trusted the intelligence he had gathered more; he believed that taking chances on the battlefield would lead to serious losses.
