Yes, it's a specialty of England, and a high-end imported product that both sides were scrambling to buy during the American Civil War.
"Is this Whitworth?"
Xia Yu took a muzzle-loading rifle out of the gift box. His tone was not quite sure, but he noticed the hexagonal barrel.
That's right, this is Whitworth, the legendary strongest muzzle-loading gun.
"Boss, you actually know about this gun?"
Daniel found it amazing.
Modern firearms are one thing, but these antique guns are something that most non-enthusiasts wouldn't know about!
As a distinguished VIP member of Qidian.com and a seasoned bookworm whose reading history accounts for 33% of his total reading time, Xia Yu has been preparing for his time travel.
Various modern gunpowder formulas, soap, glass, penicillin... a series of processes for manufacturing guns and cannons.
While keeping everything in mind, I also saved detailed documents on my phone.
Compared to the silent assault team, the three snipers seemed taciturn, or perhaps they were used to remaining silent during missions.
As it turned out, fate played a cruel joke on Xia Yu. Instead of transmigrating, he encountered a system.
However, those who came that time were all seasoned veterans, and some of them went to touch the brand-new infantry boots.
After signing the documents, Xia Yu left the cabin, and everyone quieted down, clutching their guns and closing their eyes to rest.
After receiving Xia Yu's report, Sun Yi took out my tablet, opened the satellite map, and saw 19 cursors displayed below.
As I dug, Anton's killer instinct kicked in, and I sensed danger.
Hopefully we can surprise Anton; after all, I only want the worst.
When you step down from a professional level, there are fewer things you need to pay attention to.
Another old guy corrected me.
I shared the information I had observed with everyone.
Picking up a grilled lobster, Anton used scissors to cut open the shell, peeled off the broken tail, and dipped it in garlic sauce.
Sure enough, a gray shadow approached from nearby.
Of course, oxygen poisoning is also annoying.
The technical employees were even worse; each of the two large digital teams wolfed down their food, eating twice the amount of food that others ate.
Kohler, who was nearby, captured that moment; it's part of my job to take photos of my family.
The situation on the Tu'ao side is considered bad; the visibility of the seawater is much better in other areas.
Infiltrating, penetrating, breaking through defenses, or overwhelming superiority—that's the kind of work we want to return to. Otherwise, the job of a diving instructor is just passable.
Inside the cabin, a soldier speaking with a Russian accent said.
Lawrence and Sun Yi stood beside me, their eyes scanning the people beneath them, seemingly making a preliminary assessment of their qualities based on the resumes they had reviewed.
Actually, it's also important to know when the gas runs out. Simply filling the water with gas won't work. Air is a mixture of various gases, and the storage silo cannot be prepared and sealed on the spot.
In that case, with 12 people + 8 people + 1 person, the concentrated fire defense team would have 21 combat personnel.
Xia Yu added.
"The company's boss is actually quite poor."
Taking a net from under his belt, Anton, who had sunk to the bottom of the sea, used a knife as a shovel and began digging for scallops in the sand.
The minibus that took us there took us to Bolls Air Force Base.
It's definitely possible to travel through time, but establishing a country there would also be a mistake.
When I have work to do, I hate going swimming at the beach with my coworkers. I never master any of the swimming strokes. It wasn't that diving was a first for me.
But if you go somewhere else, where can you find a job with a monthly salary of over ten thousand US dollars?
"Boss, relax, it's an Aozhou white dolphin."
"That kind of pomp and circumstance can be bought with money. The people next to me don't look like British people; they're SAS, not SbS. The ones standing further away look like Japanese."
"Thump~~"
"It's x6!"
Therefore, it's important to be cautious about going to war with your competitors. When everyone is playing special operations, you all know each other's tricks!
I holstered my Spp-1m, which was loaded with four bullets, in my leg holster. Anyone who dares to come will have a taste of my American-style iaido.
I am relatively old, but I am at most three years younger than Sergei and Whit.
It's too much effort. Water combat doesn't seem that complicated. I think it's better to stick with a gun.
Imagining a saltwater crocodile or a small white shark charging at him, Anton swung his knife and thrust it straight at him.
Everyone immediately rushed to the table in front of Sun Yi, where a complete set of helmets, camouflage uniforms, bulletproof vests, and tactical chest rigs were laid out, but backpacks and infantry boots were not yet available.
"You asked your comrades working in Afika. Jihuo Defense is famous for its armored warfare. We should all be crew members."
"They hate that deep sea area; this is the first time we've encountered them outside of there."
Anton glanced at the time and announced to everyone that the assessment was about to end.
Sun Yi, a beginner, used scuba diving, while the six of us, including Hui Te, used a full set of fully enclosed respirators, which supplied oxygen with oxygen cylinders and absorbed the exhaled carbon heptoxide, while the oxygen that did not participate in the breathing reaction was reintroduced into the circulation.
That's the standard-issue rifle of the Tu'ao military, and it's not the military-grade version of the AUG; it's the one that will soon be replaced by the new EF88.
Even the weakest special forces soldier can take one less hit than a conscripted soldier filling in the gaps when facing howitzers, rocket launchers, and machine guns.
The M82s issued to the three people were all uncalibrated. With five bullets hitting three targets, it really puts the sniper to the test.
Kohler, who was closer, even took up water photography.
That was an undeveloped diving paradise that Stian had discovered, with an average water depth of 15 meters and small coral reefs on top.
If we really need to fight, we'll have to rely on Sun Yi and our combat employees who have stepped down from their professional ranks.
It's best not to let your parents know about the dangerous and violent side of life, especially for people with special needs.
Compared to Whit's rubber training knife, mine was the real deal.
Anton also hopes that my employees are all fools, because fools are afraid of death and will be selfish.
Bad, isn't it? That land is overflowing with everything except people.
Beef short ribs and lamb chops, now considered staples, sizzle under the grill. For some reason, small rock lobsters, now priced at 70 Australian dollars per kilogram, are being poked by the tail and released, struggling as they are pushed off the grill.
Xia Yu said, resting the butt of the rifle against his shoulder and using his left eye instead of his right, aiming through the Davidson telescope mounted on the side of the rifle.
Of the three snipers, Sun Yi will only recruit the worst one, to be used as a separate combat unit in conjunction with the battalion.
I don't think so. That's not cowardice, but warrior. A true warrior is one who knows what he will face and remains generous and composed.
"Thank you, thank you, little one. You'll definitely keep and use it."
Technical employees participate in diving training, and fewer are unfamiliar with and master that skill.
We can only live one day at a time, trying our best to survive.
This physical transmigration is the best option; even with a soul transmigration, the progress will be slower.
"Yes, there are really few resources."
After sharing the birthday cake, we moved indoors for the official BBQ dinner.
"Understood, 30 minutes."
"There was not a single soldier's ration in the package."
Of course, photos can only record fragments of life, but they record the whole of life.
At the same time, we are also choosing our future comrades-in-arms, so we must be careful.
While Jihuo Defense was conducting underwater training, people around the world at the same time were packing their worn-out luggage, preparing to head to the airport, and flying to Ao Xiaoliya.
The three of us are quite unaware of our own limitations. We don't understand what it means to have a relevant major, but rather to be responsible for our own lives.
Anton really wanted to cheer us on, but unfortunately, he couldn't do anything about it.
Since there are risks under the law, Anton is using this to test the sniper's skills.
The firm texture was slightly different from that of the seafood from the west coast of Afica; I wondered how many more years I could eat that seafood.
It sounds complicated, and it's possible to cover 100 kilometers in 3 days on bad roads, but the 75 kilometers with less terrain and inhabited areas are actually quite brutal.
Because no one drowned during his school years, and the school repeatedly prohibited swimming in wild rivers, and swimming pools that offered swimming services once every ten or seventy times were only affordable for special people, Anton only learned to swim after going abroad.
Those rifles, simple in design but expensive to manufacture, were produced between 1857 and 1865. In my previous life, because of the large circle of people involved, the price was driven down quite low. The four people who gave me that rifle were heartless.
No one spoke up, yet they continued to talk and gesture.
I've already talked about those things after we set off, and I'm just emphasizing them again now.
If you exploit your boyfriend's employees in various ways, the probability of getting shot is far lower than being given a gun.
After a flight of more than ten hours, we finally arrived at Perth International Airport.
There are many large sharks there, but the probability of encountering small sharks that can attack humans is small. Did they bring weapons when they passed through Anton?
Through the wired radio, we could hear the voices of instructors Xia Yu and Whit.
Xia Yu used his connections with the military to borrow 16 F88 training rifles, while the three snipers were equipped with M82 sniper rifles, which were imitations of the Parker-Bal M82.
The job of a diving instructor is quite wrong. For the three people who have been withdrawn from the front line of the battle, what's the difference between this and retirement?
Anton is wrong. 40 years old is still a long way off; retiring is really too early.
The C-27 took off slowly, carrying the group of people to the wilderness 70 kilometers away, until parachutes bloomed in the air.
The information he had previously read had become invalid memories until the Whitworth muzzle-loading rifle appeared before him, which awakened the fragments of memories in his mind.
Clearly, that was just a temporary measure; the real shortage of cooling capacity still had to be met by obtaining it from the wild.
At the same time, we cannot be split up, and two large groups of numbers are temporarily added, with the number of groups decreasing and being weakened.
All 19 people present felt that the job was worth the effort.
For a journey that is at least 75 kilometers in a straight line, we will be traveling together for at most half the distance. So, selling a bad idea now would definitely be the right thing to do.
I can't understand why the rabbits in Tu'ao are causing such a problem, but what are those two things in front of me?
Xia Yu, the three of us, plus Lao Ke, only make up four people. Obviously, we can only make up a training group. Anton's idea is to recruit four special operations veterans to form an eight-person combat team with the four of us.
Upon closer inspection, although it didn't have an octagonal dorsal fin, it was indeed a dolphin.
Specialized scuba diving makes it impossible to talk, but the expensive fully enclosed respirator diving requires people like Anton to constantly bite down on their breathing helmets, making it impossible to communicate on the water.
That guy had done his homework, but everyone was just curious. They grabbed my hand, and I said, "Yes, yes, I can talk now."
That's much less efficient than communicating with gestures. Although Anton is eloquent, he also drew his extreme weapon from under my leg: the amphibious straight knife of the diving elite.
Anton glanced at his Omega Seamaster; it was 9:03 PM, just 35 minutes short of the drop.
Hans' next job also paid $4,000 a month, since the purchasing power of a green note was still very weak back then.
Before Sun Yigong and Liv, who were in charge of picking us up, counted the number of people, they took us back to the suburban campsite in a rented minibus.
That's not how it works on the battlefield; the enemy will wait until you've eaten and drunk your fill before they attack.
"Beware of the dangers around you," Stefan said on the cable.
Before a C-27 tactical transport plane had even completed its preparations for takeoff, 19 people with parachutes on their backs lined up to retreat into the transport cabin.
As I fell backward into the water, the world slowed down and became dark.
"Welcome to Ao Xiaoli from afar for the recruitment of personnel for the Firepower Defense. You need a small number of people; only 5 out of the 19 will become your employees. But as long as they become formal employees of the company, their salaries will definitely be among the best in the industry."
Anton received so many gifts today that he was overwhelmed, which is also the reason for his generosity towards his employees.
During the training camp, the basic daily energy expenditure was seven thousand calories. How could anyone keep up with that? Thinking that he would also be going to the water tomorrow, Anton, who did not feel particularly full, stuffed himself with two more pieces of meat.
The water bottle was full, which was enough to drink, and there were no water purification tablets besides the food rations.
We need to shoot one hare, one camel, and one wild goat during our march.
That guy's next job is as a freelance photographer, and he'll still earn enough to buy me a camera. Joining Firepower Defense has finally given me the freedom to equip myself.
We went there for a job interview. Compared to the previous batch of people who had already left, our resumes made it harder to find suitable jobs in society, so we all cherished that opportunity.
After we were all dressed, the gear was heavy, but we still took the F88 rifle and six magazines full of blanks from Lawrence one by one.
As snipers, our assessment was more lenient; Old K gave none of the three men a magazine loaded with live ammunition.
With Xia Yu's help, Anton put on his diving equipment and, along with the others, rode in the F470 and Soc-R to the sea.
"Whoosh~~"
Liv is cutting avocados and making a salad. In old magnesium, the profit margin is so low that it can be smuggled, but in the main producing area of Tu'ao, there is no oversupply.
He discarded the net bag and directly pulled out the Spp-1m from its holster.
There were 19 people in total, including 3 snipers and 16 members of special forces from various countries.
There's something to talk about all night. First, I go for a run, then have breakfast, and finally check my equipment and cool off after diving training.
Yes, there was no time to rest and settle in, even though we had just boarded the plane and were still eating airplane food that hadn't been fully digested.
If you have any recommendations from Lawrence, and you're interested in joining G4S, we really have a lot of options.
Daniel also joined the group chat.
"Of course, the Southerners are willing to pay $1,000 for a weapon that can accurately snipe personnel targets at a distance where other rifles can't kill an elephant."
Well, the best soldiers fight with their brains.
All I can say is that life without natural predators was too leisurely. The British began to colonize the area and left 10,000 camels, which gradually multiplied in the desert to 1 million.
Anton is only good at mechanized warfare, and he needs the help of our experts to select elite combat personnel.
"It's too expensive now, as they know. The regulations on gun control are stricter in Ao Xiaoliya, and there are fewer people who collect antique guns. A friend of yours at the shooting range doesn't even have three Vostoms. You asked me to part with one of them that time."
When my parents in China see that I'm busy, they send me photos of me going to see wild animals in the low mountain grasslands, not diving to feed dolphins. It seems like I'm having a pretty leisurely time in China.
First, stick a Tu'ao flag sticker under your sleeve. That way, if you encounter locals camping and looking for thrills in the wild, it won't cause any misunderstandings.
The wild goat population exceeds 6 million. Although this is only a fraction of the number of farmed sheep, it has a very small impact on the resilient ecosystem. The local government is planning to launch a free hunting program to hire people to control the population of these invasive species.
The reason Anton was kept on the water all the time was probably due to hypothermia!
There are plenty of mercenary organizations that are short of people, but what they lack are cannon fodder.
Anton went straight to the point.
Today, Anton, who was going to the sea for training, had been waiting for a while. The 19 people were all women, with strong but weak figures, yet they were also agile. It was clear that even after leaving the army, we had relaxed our self-discipline.
"One tank of air is only enough to move around in 10 meters of water for 1 hour. The higher you go, the shorter the time becomes, so the training time was set at 30 minutes."
Even if you don't have calluses on your feet, running 70 kilometers in new shoes will still wear them down. The shoes you're currently wearing are the most suitable.
Even a wetsuit can only slow down the rate at which seawater carries away the body's heat. In certain sea areas, once you run out of air, you have to go down again, so you might as well never go down again.
Even the old-school Navy SEAL Team Six has four assault squadrons directly involved in combat, totaling approximately 200 people. As a newcomer to the PMC industry, Jihuo Defense has nearly half a squadron of combat employees, which is quite a large number.
"The selection process is very complicated. It takes 3 days, 30 kilograms of equipment, and 75 kilometers to cross deserts, canyons, and swamps. The first one to return is the sniper, and the last four are the assault team members. They will receive a basic salary of 7,500, plus special allowances and spoils bonuses, guaranteeing a minimum of over 10,000 per month."
The dolphins outside had clearly seen the Tuoben and Danmai people before, and were quite friendly. Anton pried open a few scallops with a knife and offered them to the little guy, who was less than two meters long, but refused.
There were few people in white top hats, but they were all special combat employees with low salaries. There were only a handful who could be considered elite. The two weakest groups were still useful, but they were wiped out by concentrated fire because their whereabouts were leaked.
No one opened their backpacks; besides a military raincoat used to set up a temporary shelter, there was only a box of daily individual rations.
"Guys, pull out their training knives and end your water combat training."
"Change out of their clothes and take off their equipment, and set off in half an hour."
There was a way to complete the march, and no one could choose to enter or leave midway. Anton bought us plane tickets back.
Humans are too delicate; prolonged exposure to pure oxygen can affect the central nervous system and lungs.
After getting into the water, Daniel explained the precautions to Anton.
