"Understood, I will help them adapt to life in Afika, but before that, we still need to make a trip to the Middle East."
Hans's voice was full of anticipation.
Patrol missions are nerve-wracking and quickly exhausting, which he doesn't particularly enjoy, but pure business operations are what he longs for.
This warmonger!
Xia Yu now suspects that his brother-in-law is likely to remain single for life, spending his days either at home or fighting, and has no intention of settling down.
"By the way, the core members of our self-propelled anti-aircraft gun crew haven't left yet. They can only rendezvous with us after we reach the Syrian border."
He then entrusted Hans with another important matter.
The company's red Cheetah, whether it's the Mongoose or the Mole, can only perform ground attack functions. Operations such as air-to-air radar and aircraft strikes still need to be handled by professionals.
Xia Yu sought help a little too late; a suitable candidate had already gone abroad to work in PSC private security.
Just like Hans's previous job, isn't this a waste of his professional skills?
Therefore, we should be decisive in poaching talent, ensuring that talented individuals remain in the right positions.
However, it's also a good thing. At least our colleagues helped train their spoken language skills, unlike the newly recruited batch who had to undergo intensive language training and self-defense shooting practice.
Even after changing from 35mm to 5.56mm, it's still very smooth, unlike Hans which struggles so much.
Moreover, they won't be stuck at air defense posts. After withdrawing from Syria, Afika's air defense pressure isn't as high, so the Red Cheetahs don't need to be deployed every time.
This way, that guy can be as flexible and mobile as 06, freely switching between technical and combat employees.
Xia Yu likes employees who are multi-talented and can do the work of two people. Rather than hiring too many people at once and making the company structure bloated, it's better to add an extra allowance.
It won't dilute the dividends. With limited growth in loot, the larger the denominator, the less you'll receive.
“I understand, but what about the spoils of war? I see that most of the cash is in your country’s currency, and there are also five safes of various sizes.”
Hans then brought up the spoils of war.
Turning around, I saw that Daniel and his team had just used a forklift to put the harvest into the cargo hold of the C-130H, balancing the weight by placing it on both sides.
"I'll figure out how to get the money, and the safe can be opened when I get back."
Xia Yu can solve these problems, but others have to go back first.
"Then let's stop talking for now. They've finished loading their goods, and we're leaving Laos to go back to Afika."
See you later!
After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu finished her breakfast in a few bites, and at Lin Shuqin's prompting, she carried another breakfast back to her room on a small table.
Marriage is about mutual support, where the stronger person takes care of the weaker one.
Are we preparing to return to Afica?
After filling her stomach, Liv recovered and brought up the topic.
"The plane tickets have been bought. The flight is in two days. We also have to go to another province tomorrow, the same Anhui province we went to last time."
Xia Yu also talked about the arrangements for the next two days.
During the month they were back, they traveled a lot around the area, including climbing Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province. This time, they mainly went to see Xiao Anka.
They received a semester of theoretical study at the main campus, and this second semester they came directly from the north to the south to receive practical training at the Zhucheng campus.
Xia Yu and the others just came back while he was still in class. He went back to Guo during the Spring Festival holiday and only came back these past two days when school started.
Before leaving, Xia Yu, as the uncle, would definitely have to go to the school to see his nephew and chat with the teacher about how he was doing in school.
"It's that major who was injured in a sensitive area."
It had been a long time since she'd seen him. Liv searched her memory and remembered the unfortunate black battalion commander.
"Yes, he came back a couple of days ago and even called me."
Little Anka also benefited from the misfortune, because her injury actually helped her take a step further and led to her studying abroad.
However, the military commanders of the armored forces also went to armored corps schools for their studies, and thus did not become alumni with their predecessors from the infantry department.
That's fine, really. As a non-Busa faction, the Anka family's maximum potential is to become the leader of the National Army's armored forces; becoming a general is practically impossible.
But the father and son were already very satisfied that he could become a lieutenant general after the age of 40. Mongcho is now in his 40s and is still a major general. He will have to be over 50 to advance further. Anka has a good chance of surpassing his uncle.
"We'll go take a look, and then what?"
As Liv asked the question, she put on a sweater and a down jacket.
"Then let's look at our new employees."
After returning to their hometown for the Spring Festival, Lao Huang and his classmates were busy with their last week of classes and preparations for their departure, especially since the plane that was supposed to pick them up had already arrived.
"Little Bear, I don't remember the An-24 Plus being this big."
Old Huang, who was delivering a batch of supplies to the airport first, asked.
"This is not the An-24plus (red coke). This is a twin-engine turboprop transport aircraft of this size. This is the C-160 jointly developed by Germany and France. I really didn't expect to see this thing in China."
As one of the youngest members of the class and a gear enthusiast, Xiao Xiong is not only well-informed but also knows a great deal about foreign military equipment.
"Unfortunately, like the C-130, it can't carry tanks. The turboprop transport aircraft still has to be the An-22 rooster."
Compared to the An-22 with a payload of 80 tons, the A400M is a mere junior.
"So this is our boss's plane."
Huang Jingxiu's attention was not on any particular model.
"That should be true. The C-160's ferry route only requires one stopover, which is enough for us to fly to Guo."
Xia Yu flew back not only to modify the cockpit, but also to take the newly recruited employees with him on the way back.
This time, I'm taking my parents back to Afica to save money by taking this military transport plane, but I'm afraid their old bones will be shaken to pieces.
They will definitely have to fly by commercial airline, so let the cargo hold be given to the employees so they can get a feel for the work and daily routine ahead of time.
"And what about the pilots?"
There were two pilots on this flight, but only one was a newly recruited employee of Jihuo Defense, while the other was just filling in for Xia Yu.
The pilot's English level was decent, and since he was a transport aircraft pilot, the probability of encountering close combat situations like that of ground vehicle crews was lower, so he didn't train with Lao Huang and the others.
However, once they go to Afica, they might receive targeted training!
Then there's the aircraft maintenance team. We've already selected a few people and built a preliminary framework, but the second and third phases of the museum project haven't started yet, so there's no rush.
As for wartime maintenance of the C-160, the PLA also has a garrison in Syria, which is closer to Europe, so there is no need to worry about transport aircraft breaking down.
"There they are! Our new boss has hired quite a few people this time!"
The army, navy, and air force have recruited transport plane pilots, tank crews, infantry fighting vehicle crews, air defense vehicle crews, and mechanized infantry squads, but the navy is the only one they haven't recruited.
The Firepower Defense doesn't have any ships. Soc-R is an inland waterway unit, and it needs at least one ship or one submarine to use the navy (specifically referring to technical employees).
The São Paulo is indeed a ship, but it has now been converted into the São Paulo Hotel. It will only offer some value-added services such as carrier-based aircraft flights, and it is still a long way from officially recruiting personnel!
Based on Xia Yu's conversation with the designer, the construction period will be delayed until next summer.
There's no way around it, French people are just slow and inefficient at work, but rich people just love that about them.
After finishing the ship's interior and exterior decorations, and then towing it back for equipment integration, it won't be officially open for business until the year after next at the earliest.
Fortunately, the second phase of the project is progressing rapidly and will be able to start trial operation by the end of this year, so we can see how tourists react.
"Outside the long pavilion, along the ancient road, the fragrant grass stretches to the horizon..."
On the Mengshi heading to Zhucheng, the modified Bailin Voice played clear and melodious children's voices.
Upgrading the audio systems of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles is impractical, but it's feasible for light armored vehicles.
Xia Yu's Panhard VBL, which he captured with the white hat, was quite nice. He also modified the Warrior he bought this time, and it made driving around quite enjoyable.
If we hand it over to Lao Xia, it will be good for his character and interests, not to mention that Liv has learned a lot of Chinese from him.
It has to be songs with clear pronunciation. If even Chinese people can't understand them, it's even more difficult for foreigners.
Xia Yu was driving. China and Germany had just signed a driver's license mutual recognition and exchange agreement, meaning that anyone with a German driver's license could drive in China.
However, the entire Firepower Defense team couldn't even find a single French driver's license, so don't count on Liv; she'll have to drive herself!
After exiting the highway and entering Zhucheng, a distance of less than 300 kilometers, driving was quite fast, and they arrived at the school before lunch.
“Mr. Sherlock, it’s been a long time since we last met.”
Upon seeing Uncle Xia, Anka took off her hat and immediately gave him a bear hug.
But this time was different from before; he spoke in Chinese.
"Yes, it's been more than half a year. How have you been here?"
"Summer is alright, but in Beijing it's cold outside in winter but warm inside. But here at this campus, it's not warm at all, neither inside nor outside."
Xiao Anka and Xia Yu complained.
People from equatorial countries like him don't go back home to escape the winter, and most of the students who could go back have already done so, but now that school is starting, they have to come back.
"This is how it is here, just wear more clothes. And let me introduce you, this is Dr. Liv, whom you have met before, she is now my wife."
Xia Yu introduced the two of them.
Liv helped clear the shrapnel from Anka's body. It would have been a bit embarrassing for a Chinese person, but the black man didn't care at all.
"This is so sudden. I had no idea about this in China, but congratulations anyway. I hope it's not too late."
Shaking hands with Liv, Anka quickly congratulated the two of them.
“It’s not too late at all. Your father doesn’t know either. We plan to have the wedding in two years. You all have to come then.”
Little Anka still has a year and a half of courses left, by which time she will have graduated and returned to her home country, and will definitely be able to attend the event.
The three of them didn't exchange many pleasantries at the school gate. After registering (they had made an appointment), they drove into the school and had lunch directly in the cafeteria.
It is possible to take the military academy entrance exam while in the military. Back then, Xia Yu did not choose to retire but stayed in the army to continue serving. It is very likely that he will take the exam and come here, from a soldier to a commanding officer.
Whether he can become the battalion commander of a combined arms battalion is unclear, but at this age he can definitely reach the rank of company commander and lead a tank company.
You can choose to experience a series of events after leaving the military and become the owner of a PMC company abroad, where you can also command a combined arms company.
This is the difference in results from different choices. A large country with dozens of heavy brigades doesn't need a captain like Xia Yu, but war-torn Afica cannot do without its boss, Weasel.
Not to mention his current position, which brings far more help to his hometown than when he was a junior officer.
Walking along the paths on campus, Xia Yu was filled with emotion.
Many science and engineering universities have tanks on campus because they are involved in research projects, but specialized colleges have the most tanks, and most importantly, they can all fire live ammunition.
Armored forces consist of more than just tanks, so the school also has various infantry fighting vehicles, wheeled assault guns, armored personnel carriers, and more...
Besides the five pairs of veteran wheels, Xia Yu also saw his old friend, as well as the strongest active main battle car he had only seen but never touched.
Xia Yu really wanted to fire a few shots in the young man's car, but this was a school after all, and let alone third-phase gold coin ammunition, the daily routine mainly consisted of training ammunition, so he decided to give up.
Because Anka's main focus was on infantry fighting vehicles, he only had a superficial understanding of tanks, which serve as human shields.
As for the Anka mechanized infantry battalion's later upgrade to a combined arms brigade, the newly added tank battalion will most likely be mainly composed of T-64 tanks.
Because the new vehicles are too expensive, even the base model of the main export vehicle of a major country costs 4 million US dollars. Even the Afica Youth Edition, with a battalion of 10 to 14 crews, still costs tens of millions of US dollars.
Even if the black guy's math skills are terrible, he knows how many reconnaissance and strike drones that amount of money could buy.
In Black countries where Afica can afford new cars, the Keniyah people don't value tanks; only the Nijiliya, who need to attack Boko Holy Land, can afford them, so it's definitely not feasible.
After purchasing truck-mounted howitzers, self-propelled howitzers, and multiple rocket launcher systems, they could no longer afford to build a modern tank force.
They used the T-64B1M quite well, and Jihuo Defense achieved such a high combat record with the "same model vehicle," so naturally they would prioritize the T-64 series, which was very expensive back then but is very cheap now.
If Busa really makes a decision, then Xia Yu will still be able to get a share of the profits.
Since the outbreak of war in the east, Tungsten has not even had enough for its own use, and they have stopped exporting T-64B1Ms.
The vehicles belonging to the Anka mechanized infantry battalion all came through special channels; there were definitely no large-scale production runs.
It doesn't matter if Er Mao doesn't have one, as long as Da Mao does.
When the tanks were split up, Oslo received more than 2,200 T-64 series tanks. However, the engines they initially used were not very reliable, so they were all retired and left in the tank graveyard. They were replaced with the 6TD-1R tanks used in subsequent research by Tungsten.
If Busa is willing to spend the money, upgrading to 6td-2e is also an option.
Xia Yu had connections with Alexei, and getting twenty or thirty tanks with a single phone call wouldn't be a problem, enough to help Busa get two tank battalions.
With this price tag under 1 million, let's not expect features like dual-channel night vision, remote weapon stations, active defense systems, or multi-layered blades.
Xia Yu planned to return to Guo and have a good talk with Meng Qiao. He suggested that since there was no budget, they could owe it to them first. He thought that the batch of equipment that was about to be delivered to them would be a good collateral.
Time has passed again. Changing maps is always difficult to write. I'm going back to Afica tomorrow.
