Nothing happened that night. The next day, Xia Yu arranged for Fox Bat to fly to Tsuna to deliver the first batch of six Gazelle helicopters.
Converting pilots from fennec foxes to gazelles is quite simple; the client can handle it themselves, so Jihuo Defense did not send out flight instructors.
The same was true for the old doe and the hippopotamus behind them. Half of the pilots were Er Mao's "mercenaries," who had personally trained several young black students for several years.
To be honest, half of the equipment of the Zha De Air Force was purchased from Tungsten Kelan, and its use is heavily dependent on their instructors.
As for why they didn't continue to purchase from Er Mao this time, it's mainly because their equipment delivery cycle has become increasingly slower since three years ago.
Busa's T-64B1Ms had a batch of shipments delayed in the past two years, and Thailand's T-84 Fortress Ms have not yet been delivered. Not to mention Tsad, the other side is still short two MiG-29s!
If the conflict in the east escalates, it's likely that they won't be selling weapons and equipment abroad, but rather that they won't have enough for themselves and will have to pay extra to buy them back.
Of course, you can also buy Soviet equipment from Russia.
However, in order to make a profit, they only sell new Mi-171s, and only the latest Mi-35M models of the Mi-35M series.
Only rich guys like the neighbor Niri Liya can afford it. A few years ago, they bought 12 Ultimate Bucks in one go, and delivered the first two in April this year.
The blast deflectors rose, the F-4(FV)S unfolded its wings and ejected directly. Xia Yu in the cockpit also engaged afterburner, and the two of them flew out of the base and into the mountains.
The first generation of mechanical sentinels made their dazzling debut. Before a signal of access permission was detected, any object with a heat source reaction that wanted to enter the cave would be shot down.
"boom"
Xia Yu's private base doesn't need to consider these things, and it's not too difficult for him to achieve such an effect; he can refer to automatic sweeping machines for a specific example.
If he works smoothly until retirement, the revenue of Jihuo Defense's arms and defense sector is expected to exceed 10 billion yuan, with a net profit of approximately 9 billion yuan after deducting costs.
This is not the limit of the system, but the limit of the second-hand arms market.
Sitting in the cockpit of the F-4 (FV)S, Xia Yu immediately started maintenance with one click, skipping the long-term maintenance work of the fighter jet. He then refueled with one click, filling the fuel tank.
After storing the entire motor barge into the subspace berth, he released two double-trailer trucks from garages 2 and 3.
The canyon entrance is directly exposed without any gate to block it, and birds and bats often wander in. If they were to build nests in the air intake of a fighter jet, it would pose a serious safety hazard.
The system integrates a remote weapon station, a main control system removed from a sweeper, and the chassis of an electric tracked vehicle.
Leaving aside the crackdown on business operations, if you don't demonstrate sufficient fighting power to the outside world, you won't be able to protect your other industries.
With oil revenues amounting to only a fraction of Niri's, Zha De needs to be even more careful with its spending, and the cheaper the weapons and equipment, the better.
This is equivalent to the profits of others selling billions of dollars worth of goods. It's good to sell them slowly.
Setting up an automated weapon station would be much better, but those are things you only see in movies. In reality, to avoid ethical issues, the weapon station must be operated by someone.
The super ghost glided onto the locomotive inside the tunnel. While Xia Yu was heading towards the launch section, he checked the distribution of artificial satellites passing overhead.
Since he's finally back, he should take his Ultimate Ghost for a spin.
Combined with the museum and mining businesses, this formed Xia Yu's complete commercial empire.
However, it's still a bit early to develop combat power. Boko Holy Land won't give them that time to slowly improve, so they still need to hire concentrated fire defenses to crush the opponent and buy time for development.
Of course, there are only 1,500 bullets, and once they're used up, no one will replace them.
Watching the C-160 take off from the runway and disappear into the horizon, he was in high spirits and piloted a newly prepared Fennec Fox towards the cave base in the canyon.
"Bang"
That completes everything. Except for two Su-25s that need to be coordinated with Alexei, the goods worth tens of millions of dollars are all ready.
"Swish"
When the battery runs out, it will return to the charging station to replenish its energy, just like a robot vacuum cleaner, so Xia Yu doesn't have to worry about it at all.
These skeletons only flew in from the blind spots on both sides at close range; many more were shot down from the center of the canyon. It truly ensured that not even a single bird could fly in.
This is also Xia Yu's target user after focusing on the lower-tier market. For clients like Niri Liya, Ji Huo Defense is more focused on winning their PMC orders.
He put it in Garage 1 for a little maintenance, then released it back out to continue guarding it, before heading into the cave.
I hadn't been here for several months, and the helicopter platform on the canyon side was covered with the shattered skeletons of bats and birds.
Release a second-hand, thousand-ton motorized barge, and select five Mi-24V Xia Yu fighter jets from the cargo area, placing them into the barge's cabin like trolleys.
There was a 15-minute window. The boiler, which had been remotely preheated the night before, was burning enough steam, and the catapult was ready.
The remote weapon station guarding the entrance had its gun barrels pointing downwards, with seven or eight 12.7x108mm cartridge cases scattered to the side.
Enjoying a rare moment of solitude after a long day of work, the old man glanced at the back of the plane.
As he activated the auxiliary air intake system, the hangar armored doors also opened to the sides.
Following closely behind were four Mi-17s. After the main rotors were removed, they could be parked side by side, with an additional partition added to accommodate the Su-25s, but only four could fit inside.
"Buzz"
This isn't a remote-controlled weapon station; it's the kind of automated weapon station you see in Hollywood blockbusters.
However, with the system helping to save on procurement costs, Xia Yu's profits are by no means low.
After storing the heavy truck, which could tow two fighter jets, in the garage, he didn't rush to leave the cave sub-base.
Selling a few hundred million a year—any more would be eye-catching—but who can match a 90% net profit margin?
The arms trade is the private domain of the five major philanthropists. Small companies are already doing quite well if they can part-time selling secondhand goods and developing markets that major powers don't even look at.
With a loud bang, the Kaufman starter activated the APU (Auxiliary Power Unit), and then the engine ignited.
Moreover, with the damaged goods from the salvaged parts that were used to offset the debt, Xia Yu doesn't need to purchase any more goods in the short term, because this is equivalent to replacing inventory. After the cargo ship arrives at the port, there's time to tidy it up and then sell it to others.
The baby's due date is in December of this year, so maybe next year. Construction will officially begin next year, and the first phase of the bunker will be completed.
They moved some of the more sensitive aircraft from the cave base to that location, and then made the area public to Liv.
Building a base using the cave environment and modern machinery is achievable with a small workforce, but building a bunker is a bit of a fantasy.
Therefore, the cave sub-base can be open to the public to a limited extent, but the bunker 1 kilometer down from here can only be sent into Liv's home on the day she closes her eyes.
As for why Xia Yu is confident that he can outlive his wife, who is several years younger than him, since women generally live longer than men, the reason is the system.
In addition to protecting him from external injuries, the system can also keep his bodily functions in a strong state.
After all, you can't be paralyzed on one side and still be flying a fighter jet!
Based on this, Xia Yu is highly likely to live to the limit of cell division.
Living to 120 years old is enough to see the sun rise in the next century. As for whether we can borrow another 500 years from heaven, that depends on the development of human technology.
If he can't finish this in the 21st century, he will "freeze" himself in the early 22nd century.
Ancient monarchs were unwilling to relinquish their power for eternal rest, and aren't modern humans the same?
Almost everyone else had no choice, but Xia Yu, the chosen one, did.
After burning through three tanks of gas and having a great time, he flew back to base and returned to Bogo village under the cover of night.
The following month, the rainy season showed its power, causing floods in many areas, and the museum's business entered its off-season.
The second phase of the project was the most severely affected, with some routine performances being canceled due to weather conditions.
Tanks are a bit better off; they can still fire in the rain, but quite a few tanks get stuck in the mud every day.
Visitors who brave the rain can experience what it's like to be a tiger in the mud, which is a seasonal event; this scene cannot be seen during the dry season.
Zhongfei, Zhade, and Niriliya are the same; it rains every day. The best drivers can easily pull 20 or 30 tons in heavy trucks, but pulling a 50-ton tank is just too much.
So Old Ke led the instructors and Group 4 to Niriliya, leaving their equipment at the Bilao mine.
First, gather intelligence and find out the details of Boko Holy Land. It won't be too late to send the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles there in another month when the rainfall is less.
Xia Yu never fights a battle unprepared; the more prepared he is, the faster he can take down this extremist organization.
And he, the boss, also became unusually lazy.
After all, he could only fill in for technical staff; Xia Yu really couldn't handle the work of combat staff.
Oh, a sniper can still fill in for a bit.
The same group of lynx crews, who were also resting, and Group 3 were circling around the KF-41 lynx sponsored by Rheinmetall.
Although it's an unfinished prototype, that's when you really want to use the best materials!
Many features of the mass-produced models are optional, such as this Acoustic Shooting Positioning System (ASLS).
In layman's terms, it's an anti-sniper system that uses sensors to collect data on the direction, distance, and elevation of small-caliber projectiles to calculate the sniper's location.
The green beret squad that was attacked in Niger was the one targeted by the sniper.
Xia Yu, who only snipes others and worries that he might get snipeed himself one day, has always wanted to get his hands on this kind of anti-sniper system.
But when you get busy, you forget about it. Who knew that a pillow would come to your door when you're sleepy? German cars have this thing.
This maximizes the protection of mechanized infantry from sniper harassment. The moment a shot is fired, the sniper locks onto your location, and then the 35mm main gun fires a burst of bullets.
Perhaps because the contract was only for one year, the Weasel crew and the Number 3 crew remained very serious during their rest period.
They took this rare opportunity to experience this advanced medium infantry fighting vehicle of a foreign military in depth, which will make them feel more immersed when they go back to play the role of the opposing force.
All I can say is that it was definitely worth the trip to work abroad.
Compared to the much more relaxed Panda tank crew, Xia Yu felt he had made a mistake. He should have quickly modified the Leopard 2A6, and perhaps even captured another M1A1.
It's both a collectible and a teaching aid; speaking of which, he doesn't even have a gas turbine tank yet!
With some further modifications, it might reach the M1A2 standard, which is the depleted uranium armor that Xia Yu covets. This can only be obtained from actual vehicles; upgrading this system on the same platform won't work.
"Honey, the child is kicking me!"
On the flat ground in front of the parking lot, Liv touched her pregnant belly with one hand and carried a bowl of sliced mangoes with the other, and came up behind Xia Yu.
"Let me hear it, wow, that's pretty strong, just like me!"
Taking the fruit his wife lovingly offered, Xia Yu bent down and put his ear to her large belly. The baby inside kicked his mother's belly so hard it made a pointed bulge.
According to Lin Shuqin, he also liked to rebel like this when he was a child.
"You've got a lot of work to do, come out and spank this kid."
Xia Yu raised his head and patted his belly.
Last month was enough time; he used the ultrasound machine he left in Bogo Village to check it.
My first child with Liv was a boy.
It's a pity, he wanted a girl for his first child, the eldest sister is very handsome.
But a boy is fine! We'll try for a girl when we have a second or third child.
If all three children are sons, then raise a fourth.
Liv agreed with his idea that their family should have both a son and a daughter, just like she and her brother.
"Then we can only fight in Afica and China. If we fight in Germany, we'll get arrested."
Corporal punishment is prohibited in Germany, but before the millennium when this law was established, she and Hans had both been beaten for disobeying, so her next generation could not escape this loving education.
"This feels a bit like a Hong Konger going to a relative's house in Shenzhen to beat up their child."
Xia Yu said with emotion.
"But since they attend primary school in China, they can only return to Germany during winter and summer vacations, so don't worry!"
Domestic junior and senior high schools are too rigorous, while foreign primary schools are too laissez-faire. It's just right to finish primary school in China and then go abroad for secondary school.
As for universities, Xia Yu has no say; as a dropout who didn't graduate from a second-tier university, he should just listen to the arrangements made by the high-achieving students.
At most, he teaches children how to drive tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, helicopters, fighter jets, submarines, and aircraft carriers.
Oh, you can teach me how to operate an excavator too; we can't forget our family's traditional skills.
“Our family’s private jet will be delivered next month, and I’ll go back to Germany with you then.”
Xia Yu ate a mango and chatted about the itinerary.
This time, Liv won't go to Niriyaya with him, but will go directly back to Europe to prepare for childbirth and check on the progress of the branch office castle's construction.
"Sure, but darling, if it weren't for the fact that your industry is a bit special, I really wouldn't want to be apart from you for a while."
Perhaps due to the influence of pregnancy hormones, Liv's tone of voice was not as independent as usual.
“I understand. We can video chat then, and I’ll make time to visit you in December.”
Xia Yu made a guarantee.
This December is very important. The São Paulo will be delivered at the beginning of the month, the baby's due date is in the middle of the month, and in the latter part of the month, preparations will be made for the official operation of the third phase of the project.
He needs to balance his career and family life; hopefully, everything will go smoothly then.
"What about Dad and Mom?"
Liv was asking about Lao Xia and Lin Shuqin.
"They'll be coming too. I heard they've been learning German lately!"
Xia Yu said with a smile.
