Chapter 114 Old Anka Arrives, Making a Fortune (Please Subscribe!)
"Mr. Weasel, is the matter... is it resolved?"
Old Anka was prepared for this call, but when he actually answered, his voice still trembled uncontrollably.
That was a white top hat; although it didn't cripple the rebels, it didn't allow them to gain much advantage either.
However, this long-established company had its entire armored vehicle convoy wiped out by Jihuo Defense, which then occupied the entire base.
Are their armed helicopters just for show?
"Yes, it's resolved. Arrogance is the greatest enemy of peace, and clearly the white-hatted man doesn't understand this principle."
Maxim tried very hard to make himself less noticeable, but Xia Yu didn't lower her voice.
So, upon hearing this, he broke down.
Arrogance and greed ruined his life. If he were given another chance, he probably, perhaps, should...
Yes, he will do it again; that's part of their corporate culture.
Over the past ten years or so, White Hat has eliminated at least seventy or eighty, if not a hundred, small PMC companies like Jihuo Defense.
Everything had been fine until this time when we hit a brick wall.
It's heartbreaking!
Even if headquarters later wiped out Jihuo Defense, it wouldn't be enough to undo the losses suffered by some of the companies in Afica.
The investment in personnel, equipment, and relationships has all been wiped out, conservatively estimated to be over one hundred million euros.
The key issue is that the plan to enter the fruit and mineral industry not only failed completely, but the company also became a laughing stock in the industry.
"I almost forgot, there are some spoils of war here that need the help of the Anka Mechanized Infantry Battalion to keep temporarily and transport them back to Kongluga together."
Xia Yu and Old Anka talked about the spoils of war.
The Mi-24V is ready. They will definitely go back by helicopter, and at most they will carry T-64B1M and Marder S30 aircraft with them.
The five Renault military trucks loaded with spoils could only travel by land, and having military escorts along the way was certainly the safest option.
"No problem, no problem, these are minor matters. I'll come over with Anka right away."
As he spoke, Old Anka had his men help him put on a bulletproof vest.
He felt he needed to go there in person to feel at ease, and also to collect some usable "trash" for his son's unit.
The remaining assets of the White Hat branch were first selected by Ji Huo Defense, and the remaining assets were divided into two parts.
A portion of the money was given back to Meng Qiao free of charge, and the rest was sold at a discount to Lao Anka, saving Xia Yu the trouble of recovering funds.
He now has to deal with the retaliation from the White Hat headquarters, and he doesn't have time to ship the goods out bit by bit himself.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu gestured for Maxim to continue.
"This is the tRF1 howitzer. Together with our Sparrowhawk A drones, it destroyed many important targets of the rebels in the early stages of the war, and their armored battalions were driven into shopping malls and schools."
The group arrived at the center of the camp, where the entire crew of artillerymen lay neatly beside the howitzer.
"Hey meerkat, can you handle this big guy?"
Xia Yu turned to look at Hans.
He can handle these vehicles by cheating, but he is, after all, the boss. He can only step in at critical moments; otherwise, he still has to rely on his employees.
"Leave it to me. We're just short-handed, so the rate of fire might be a little slow."
It's just a German 155mm howitzer, Hans said he wasn't intimidated.
Below 12.7mm, its performance may be unsatisfactory, but above 12.7mm, it can show you what professionalism is.
"What does a slow rate of fire matter? In Afika, at a distance of twenty or thirty kilometers, there's no way there will be any artillery counterattack."
Xia Yu waved his hand, putting Hans's mind at ease.
The rebels also had a howitzer battalion in front of them, equipped with 3 D-20 152mm howitzers and 6 D-30 122mm howitzers.
As a result, the White Hat team single-handedly named TRF1, and this contract alone earned them several million US dollars.
This wasn't because the French howitzers were particularly powerful, but because, in conjunction with military drones conducting high-altitude reconnaissance, the entire layout of the rebel artillery battalion could be clearly seen.
How can we fight like this? Even if each of the rebel artillerymen has the strength of the Five Great Benevolent Men's elite artillery, at most we can determine the approximate location of the attack point by the direction of the shells.
However, before they could rush to the gun position, the cannons and ammunition were blown away together.
Self-propelled artillery can hide inside buildings to withstand artillery fire, just like tanks, while towed artillery can't even run away in time.
Having dealt with the threat from the White Hats, Xia Yu and his team are unlikely to receive any contracts from the Panaka rebels for the time being. Therefore, the combination of drones and grenade launchers is simply bullying the "weak".
Technology truly changes the battlefield, allowing you and me to easily make money.
Of course, there are still certain requirements.
You first need to wage war against a PMC company with considerable strength, and then these two pieces of equipment will be among the spoils of war you seize.
You can buy it with money, but the price is extremely high, and they might not even be willing to sell it to you.
Hopefully, the price in China will come down in the next two years. No matter how good the Sparrowhawk A is, it's still a three-star phone from many years ago. If you can use the original genuine product, who would want to use a second-hand, no-name brand?
"Sir, there is also a Javelin anti-tank missile set in Philip's tent."
To save his life, Maxim made no attempt to hide anything.
"We sold one set to the rebels before the final battle, and the money is in the safe in my tent."
The two hadn't even had a chance to divide the 300,000 yuan from selling the missiles, and with the additional ill-gotten gains they'd accumulated since the start of the war, they still had over a million yuan.
Like the spoils captured from the rebels, half were handed over to the company, and the rest were divided equally among everyone.
Xia Yu witnessed everyone's hard work and perseverance, from entering the city to completely dismantling the White Hat branch in the afternoon.
No doubt about it, we'll go back and feast on meat and divide the gold and silver.
"You can't get Akron?"
Picking up the brand-new, unopened javelin and aiming at the firing unit, Xia Yu asked Maxim beside him.
There are three separate launch tubes in the box on the ground; this is a complete system.
"No, the army hasn't even been equipped with them yet, and the employees don't want to use Milan, so headquarters purchased a batch of javelins."
Maxim explained the reasons behind this to Xia Yu.
The Akron (MMP) is the fifth-generation anti-tank missile developed by the Germans to replace the older Milan missile. It is also designed for multiple purposes and may replace the HOT 3 on Tiger helicopters in the future.
"I don't like Milan either. Their line-flying technology is too outdated, and their javelin is too expensive for a small company like ours. Oslo's cornet is more practical."
Xia Yu handed the launch unit to Sergei and gestured for them to move the missiles from the ground onto the vehicle.
He and the company's regular employees are more accustomed to using vehicles for combat, and it would be more appropriate for the digital team to use this portable anti-tank missile.
Similarly, two needle-S objects were found in the hangar.
It can be left in Bogo Village as a last resort, but Xia Yu prefers to take the initiative rather than passively taking a beating.
Just like this time, what started as an ambush turned into a war of annihilation, resolving the crisis of concentrated fire defense in one fell swoop, even if only temporarily.
Therefore, acquiring these two missiles is merely icing on the cake, saving Xia Yu a few hundred thousand US dollars.
What truly made him happy were the HOT 3 and the Mistral, and the two Gazelles were also quite good.
Leaving the residential area, the group continued deeper into the camp's functional areas.
Fuel refueling is also part of the functional area, but it's special and placed separately.
The specific functional areas integrate power supply, field dining, and general warehousing.
From Bomatou to Panaka, the concentrated fire defense relied on the logistical support of the Anka mechanized infantry battalion.
There's nothing else to take advantage of later, so these will come in handy.
"Our land-based ammunition depot is right behind us; it contains missiles, bullets, and artillery shells."
Maxim continued his explanation.
There were no guns; the combat personnel all carried their own.
During their service outside of France, they used the FAMAS G2. After leaving France, they used various other types of ammunition, but depending on their role, they used 5.56mm and 7.62mm caliber bullets respectively.
Look at the ammunition boxes piled up in the tent; there are enough bullets for the digital team's ScAR to destroy several barrels.
However, Xia Yu was more interested in machine gun bullets than rifle bullets.
The hangar mainly contains rockets and cannon ammunition for the Gazelle, while this area contains the DM43 and DM81 cannons specifically designed for the Rh202 cannon on the Amx-10P.
Capitalists are so stingy, huh? DM63 doesn't even deserve it.
When you encounter a T-72AV, it will show you its side profile, and the Amx-10p, without its small steel needles, can only stare blankly.
Unlike Xia Yu, who does charity work, he has a fully equipped Weasel S3 with a base loadout, and a DM63 that fires 600 rounds straight at him.
The Chinese people's fear of insufficient firepower is ingrained in their bones; only when they have a full range of firepower can the symptoms be slightly relieved.
Taking the crowbar handed to him by Kuhn, Xia Yu pried open the box marked "GRENAdE," which was full of hand grenades.
Besides the F1 Little Lemon from the former Suning League, the most common hand grenades in Afica are a certain model with a number starting with 8 that Xia Yu once threw. Wooden handles are really rare now.
The white top hats were made with their domestically produced Lucher LU213 and LU216 hand grenades.
Xia Yu picked up a LU213 and tossed it around. It contained steel balls and pre-fragmented fragments, making it more suitable for defense than the LU216, which only contained explosives but lacked pre-fragmented sleeves and steel ball pads.
He tossed the little lemon hanging from his chest into the box and stuffed the LU213 in his hand inside.
Use them interchangeably to keep life fresh.
Seeing Xia Yu do this, the employees followed suit, even though they rarely had the chance to use grenades.
"Hey, isn't there an SS190 here?"
Hans slapped Maxim on the shoulder.
"No, I'm the only one who uses the P90 and FN57; I always bring my own ammunition."
Maxim said with a smile.
"They're all in my office drawer, along with Sb193 subsonic rounds and silencers."
They don't have much combat power, but their equipment is all flashy and gaudy.
Xia Yu carries a Glock 44; he'll actually fight when things get tough. Maxim carries an FN 57; he'll surrender when things get tough.
All I can say is that this gun has suffered a lot with him; it might be better for it to have a different owner.
"Honey Badger, it's yours now. We'll get the bullets later."
Hans pulled the FN57 from his waistband, turned the muzzle and gripped it toward Domi.
"Thanks!"
Although it was just a simple thank you, Domi was still very touched.
The boss gave him a rifle first, and now Hans is giving him a pistol. He is honored to be part of the concentrated fire defense team.
Outside the law?
I'm not going to work for the Germans!
"Beep~ Beep~~"
The sound of a truck horn rang out outside; it was Old Anka and his group, who were also from outside the city, who had arrived first.
That's terrible!
When I came over just now, old Anka witnessed the tragic scene of the entire convoy being wiped out.
The gun exploded, and the gun was riddled with holes. Is this the power of that 30mm main gun?
No matter how good the PowerPoint presentation is, it can't be as moving as a live demonstration. The 12 main armored vehicles, 4 plus 8, are part of a company under the White Hat banner. In their company, that's equivalent to an armored regiment or two reinforced armored battalions.
After eliminating 13 main battle tanks with two-vehicle crews, Jihuo Defense achieved the miracle of a single-vehicle crew taking down an entire armored vehicle convoy.
Not only that, there was also the wreckage of the helicopter that was shot down and burned to its skeleton.
This is also the record of that 30mm main gun.
That's amazing! Old Anka had only heard that this cannon had anti-aircraft capabilities, but he never expected it to be so effective.
Well, no matter how good a weapon is, it all depends on how the user uses it.
Kuhn was quite familiar with this main gun because of his past experiences.
If we replaced them with the junior officers from the Anka Mechanized Infantry Battalion, it might be difficult to achieve this level of success; winning by sheer numbers would be more practical.
They want to modify three Marder S30 tanks; the density of their anti-aircraft firepower is much stronger than that of concentrated fire defense.
"Mr. Weasel, Anka and the others won't arrive for a while. Is there anything I can do for you now?"
The two sides met at the camp entrance, and Old Anka asked Xia Yu a question.
“Of course, Mr. Anka, you’ve come just in time. I need someone to tow those wrecked armored vehicles to the camp, and that helicopter, its machine gun was shot off, and its condition isn’t very stable.”
Xia Yu wouldn't dare fly the two captured Gazelles without giving them a proper overhaul.
"Okay, I'll send people over right away. You'll be in charge of these two platoons."
Watching Old Anka leave, Xia Yu turned to the two logistics and supply platoons.
The soldiers did not resist going on official business late at night because the person on the other end was the most generous weasel boss in Jihuo Defense.
As long as they worked hard, each of them could get fifty dollars. (Xia Yu wanted to give a hundred, but Old Anka said he could only give fifty.)
"First row, follow this mole officer; second row, follow this meerkat officer. Let's get to work!"
After being divided into groups, two Renault military trucks headed in two directions: one to the hangar and the other to the ammunition depot.
Kuhn is a veteran sergeant in the former armored grenadier unit. He has worked as a driver, gunner, and tank commander. He can also operate and drive the Bison 2 armored recovery vehicle, not to mention towing it.
Hans was a bit lacking; aside from being skilled in artillery, his driving skills were only at a C-class level, and he needed Domi to drive the truck.
Xia Yu handed Maxim over to the digital squad and told them to keep an eye on things while they rested. Then, Xia Yu called Sergei over to the camp's office tent for a chat.
"01, I remember that your Servya also has quite a few Little Antelopes equipped with them. What are your thoughts?"
Xia Yu consulted with professionals.
His initial idea was to use the two Gazelle aircraft as civilian vehicles to transport major clients after the museum opened.
Later, it was discovered that there was no need to make such a clear distinction; if it was armed with missiles, it was an attack helicopter, and if it wasn't, it was a civilian aircraft.
"We have received training in rappelling operations with the Mi-24 and have also cooperated with the Gazelle air assault."
Sergei said thoughtfully.
“Unlike the little antelopes of the Philippines, our equipment has been modernized and upgraded, mainly in terms of electronic flight instrument systems, thermal imaging night vision devices, bulletproof armor kits, and autopilot systems.”
