In war zones, vehicles are either tanks or infantry fighting vehicles, and air transport is either attack helicopters or fighter jets. Civilian and business jets offer greater comfort, but they are also very easy to shoot down!
Especially during takeoff and landing, there is no need for vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft missiles; the shoulder-fired SAM-24 can wipe out the entire crew.
Maneuver to escape?
It's likely that the plane will disintegrate before it's hit, so escorting it with fighter jets would be the best course of action.
Secondly, companies like Thales have added radar and fire control systems to the Falcon 50 business jet, and installed pylons on both wings, enabling it to use Exocet missiles for ground or sea attacks.
The Russian "Susanna" almost destroyed an old American frigate, easily setting up an anti-aircraft position.
However, the prerequisite for counterattacking is to survive, so installing an infrared countermeasure system and an ejection escape system after being hit are also necessary.
Ejection seats are not exclusive to fighter jets; business jets and transport aircraft have enough space to accommodate this system, allowing for the direct ejection of an entire cabin segment in the event of a crisis.
Xia Yu is quite optimistic about the F-111 Aardvark's two-seat ejection cockpit. Once the contract to clear out the rebels is completed, he can go to Tu'ao to conduct technical research.
As for using it for bombing missions, forget it. Although it can carry a maximum of 48+2 mK82 bombs, its battlefield survivability is too poor.
If it had been opened last time, Xia Yu would probably have been shot down by the rebels.
In addition, this type of aircraft was only equipped by the old Magneto and Tu'ao, unlike the Harrier and F-4 series, which were sold secondhand in large numbers after being retired.
Even if the CIA is busy doing business all day, they will definitely be curious about where his plane came from. Therefore, it is necessary for the various vehicles equipped by the Central Fire Defense to have a clear route in advance.
Back on the first floor of the vehicle yard, the hall that could accommodate 5+1 (maintenance bays) of tanks was empty, except for one CV33 parked in the corner.
Xia Yu has prepared quite a few World War II tanks, but not many are parked in Bogo Village, since the big ones take up too much space.
Once the main building of the museum is completed, he will gradually transport the tanks and ammunition back from the branch base.
Preparations have begun. The vehicle-mounted weapons are fine; the system can print them directly. However, the Type 92 heavy machine gun has never been used on a tank before, and the tanks use the Type 97.
Old Magnesium's Murphy auctions and private gun trading also have circulation, but it's easy to deal with one or two guns, but there's no way to deal with a large number.
However, things will work themselves out in the end.
Until their defeat, the Japanese produced more than 40,000 Type 92 rifles, of which 30,000 were used on the Chinese battlefield. A considerable number were captured and used, or surrendered and turned over.
Its dedicated 7.7mm machine gun ammunition was produced domestically until the 1950s, and there are still good stockpiles available today.
When Xia Yu's museum needed them, they found five Type 92 infantry guns in good condition in the old warehouse, and sent them to Afika along with a Type 92 infantry gun that could still fire.
That's incredibly extravagant. Even the Japanese themselves couldn't produce so many old guys in a short time.
Xia Yu deliberately stayed an extra day, just to wait for this container to arrive at the port today so he could take it back and fight with peace of mind.
After lunch, he drove a heavy truck to the port alone and picked up his container directly using the customs clearance exemption documents.
This time, they didn't even go to the warehouse to unload the goods. They went straight back to the village, grabbed some of Andrei's able-bodied men, and made them help open the boxes.
Upon opening the cabinet door, a Type 92 infantry gun comes into view.
Because it is a towed artillery piece without power, Xia Yu has to figure out how to get ammunition for it, while the heavy machine gun with the same name is much easier to deal with.
The remaining space in the container was crammed full of ammunition boxes, all of which were domestically produced stock from the last century.
Taking the crowbar from Andrei, Xia Yu casually pried open a box and took out one of the boxes.
The label read "Type 92 Heavy Machine Gun Bullets", "30 Rounds", "July 1956", and "People's Liberation Army Ammunition Repair Factory".
The bullets were poured out in a whole slab; the all-copper ammunition, stored for nearly sixty years, still gleamed with a metallic yellow-orange luster.
Yes, it has great collectible value.
These surplus military ammunition have been exported before, and I heard the price was quite high. Here in Xiayu, 1,000 sheets contain 30,000 rounds, which is quite expensive!
However, with the system at hand, it's most cost-effective to keep these bullets for your own use.
As for selling to foreign markets, Xia Yu had Andrei drive over in a pickup truck to remove the Type 92 infantry gun that was taking up space, which revealed a three-wheeled vehicle behind it.
The Japanese army's Luwang motorcycles, which were often depicted in anti-Japanese war films with a light machine gun mounted on the sidecar, are shown here. The one imported from China is the heavy machine gun version, a very rare vehicle-mounted Type 92, which can be used to carry tourists while firing.
The crucial point is that Xia Yu can now be used to directly print 7.7x58mm machine gun bullets.
I waved it away and put it into Garage 1. After tidying it up a bit, I opened the consumables list.
[7.7x58mm ammunition: standard round]
[7.7x58mm ammunition: explosive round]
…………
Although they were poor imperialists, they still managed to develop all sorts of ammunition, including armor-piercing rounds, incendiary rounds, and tracer rounds.
Print them all out later so the tourists can enjoy them too.
For dealing with armored targets, ordinary bullets are a bit difficult to penetrate, but armor-piercing bullets can be used instead. Even the Type 92 heavy machine gun can penetrate the Type 94 bullet.
Xia Yu took out his radio and called Doma, asking him to bring men to move the ammunition boxes and four heavy machine guns to the ammunition depot on the first floor of the vehicle yard.
After moving all of these, he discovered there were also blind boxes.
It's a Nanbu 14, also known as the legendary "Turtle Box". It looks a lot like the Luger P08, but they don't match in lineage at all. It's actually a copy of the old magnesium's Luger MK1.
As a spoil of war, aside from the poor quality of the firing pin material, the Nanbu 14 still has some collectible value, it's just a pity that he didn't capture it personally.
Old Magnesium still has a lot of 8mm bullets in circulation; there's a chance to get a batch and test the gun.
Time flew by, and by the time Andrei had the helicopter ready the next day, Xia Yu had printed over 100,000 rounds of various types of ammunition.
The copper, lead, steel, and various chemicals in the storage warehouse have been used up in considerable quantities, but once the museum officially opens, all of this will be recouped.
Selling a whole pack of 30 standard rounds for $300 isn't unreasonable, is it? Special ammunition has only gone up to $500, while a single .22 round costs 20 yuan in China!
While the bullets were being unloaded into the ammunition depot at the vehicle yard, Lao Yu also put the prepared ingredients into boxes lined with ice, and then carried the boxes one by one into the transport compartment of the Mi-24V.
The evenings aren't too hot during the dry season, so it's a perfect time to have a hot pot meal to improve everyone's diet.
Of course, the most popular dishes are the mushroom hot pot and the tomato hot pot; a dozen or so people couldn't even fill half a table to eat spicy food.
We also moved two cases of canned beer. Kuhn's craft beer is still fermenting, and the wait is really tiring.
As for bringing a Type 92 heavy machine gun for actual combat, Xia Yu thought about it and decided against it, since the MG3 was no better than it.
This thing is more about nostalgia; it's outdated for practical use.
Back in the gunner's cabin, the old female Hind took off, and the two headed back to the battlefield.
"Thump~~"
After firing a set of 10 155mm shells, Hans led the artillery crew into the vehicle and drove off.
The rebels' artillery was unprofessional, but even a blind cat can sometimes catch a dead mouse, so shooting and running away was the safest tactic.
"Boom!"
It was a retaliatory strike from the D-20. Hans stuck his head out of the car window, listening intently to the sound of the counterattack.
"They're almost a kilometer away from where we were just now. They should have hired a professional artillery crew instead of coming themselves."
That's what happens when you're only half-baked; you've learned the basics, you can aim and fire, but you can't hit the target.
The rebels were like this, and so were most of Busa's troops, except for a few elite ones.
The Masar rocket artillery battalion, for example, can still fire about a hundred rockets a year to maintain its skills, while the other two rocket artillery battalions are just for show.
They can fire it even if you give them ammunition, but the accuracy is appalling.
Therefore, Marcel's idea is feasible. This time, as long as he is willing to spend money, it is not impossible for him to get a colonel deputy brigade commander in the artillery brigade.
Xia Yu also sincerely hoped that he could get what he wanted, after all, only the deputy brigade commander could get more rocket contracts.
Does defeating the rebels mean we can put away our weapons and let our horses graze freely?
No, the correct process should be: suppress the rebellion → improve the economy → increase the defense budget.
In Afica, a land where coups and rebellions are as common as eating and drinking, the ruling faction had better be more militant. If you're unwilling to spend these budgets, the opposition will spend them for you when they come to power.
For this reason, unlike other PMC companies, Jihuo Defense does not need to cultivate its own power base. After completing the strike missions, Xia Yu can still take on arms contracts and even earn more.
Furthermore, with the situation in Afica's more than 50 countries and regions gradually stabilizing, it's time for other places to descend into chaos.
Or rather, it's been chaotic for so many years, and things have never gotten better.
Xia Yu already has a few clients he's interested in. If they don't come to Ji Huo Defense, he'll take the initiative to approach them.
However, the company will suspend operations for a period of time after the rebels are defeated.
Yes, for better development, Jihuo Defense will need more employees, and these older employees also need to be promoted.
Recruitment and training will be carried out simultaneously, which can be considered a rest after a long battle.
Xia Yu wasn't worried that his group of guys would get PTSD, but it wasn't good to be on edge all the time, so he would take everyone away from Afica for a short time.
Another point is that the museum will only be open to the public for a few months. Company employees can come and temporarily fill in, but a group of full-time employees will still be needed.
The local teenagers he trained were mainly responsible for taking tourists to drive around and fire cannons; to manage them, he would have to hire professionals.
This made Xia Yu feel that handling these matters was even more troublesome than simply fighting.
There's nothing we can do; he's the boss!
The one who earns the most has to put in the most effort; effort and reward are directly proportional.
In any case, we must first take down the rebels.
Night fell quickly, and Hans and his men returned to base. Xia Yu then invited Anka and Marsal, and the group of more than 10 people set up four pots using portable gas stoves.
Because the food in Bogo village is more Chinese-style, everyone knows how to use chopsticks to some extent. Little Anka can barely pick them up, but Masar can't use them at all.
When he was young, he studied at the military academy in Da Mao. If he had gone to the one next door, he probably would have been able to learn this skill. Fortunately, Xia Yu used serving chopsticks to put the food in his bowl and then scooped it out with a spoon.
He'd feed anyone who brought him a contract worth 6 million and a profit of over 5 million; this is nothing compared to what he's made!
“Mr. Sherlock, I have the advance payment ready, the rockets…”
While eating the piping hot, fatty beef, Marcel didn't forget to discuss business.
“I spoke with them on the phone just before dinner. They’ve already passed through Panaka and will be able to deliver it first thing tomorrow morning.”
As Xia Yu spoke, he picked up a piece of duck blood for Battalion Commander Ma.
This is the blood from the braised duck I ate yesterday; it's still very fresh!
"That's good, that's good. I know what this is. This is tofu, right?"
After confirming that there were no problems with the goods, Marçal finally felt relieved and enjoyed his meal.
"Yes, yes, how does it taste?"
Xia Yu did not deny it.
Blood tofu is still tofu; foreigners can't tell the difference.
While they were feasting and drinking, the rebel camp on the other side was shrouded in gloom.
The dogs' buda surrounded them without attacking, but threw cannonballs at their heads every day, causing little harm but being extremely humiliating.
Without drones, the counterattack wouldn't be effective, and Sasu figured it wouldn't work.
Just like Hans complained, he now regretted not hiring a professional artillery crew, because his men were completely incompetent!
He may not be good at operating artillery, but he can certainly dig.
During the day, they would find places to hide from enemy fire, and every night after dark, Sasu would have officers organize the soldiers to dig trenches.
A few days ago, he sent men to destroy one of Busa's ammunition trucks, which was full of rockets.
This was very encouraging, but the fact that they hadn't taken down a single rocket launcher meant they would be bombarded by hail.
To counter the enemy's intense firepower, digging trenches and building fortifications was the only thing they could do.
It's not just about repairing people, but also tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, minimizing personnel and equipment losses.
Getting beaten up every day, Sasu felt like he was becoming a defensive master. He was truly a failure as a general.
Xia Yu, the opponent, said that General Sa was being modest, and that not all generals are good at attacking.
Taking an unconventional approach and becoming a master of defense can make one a legendary figure in history.
Unfortunately, time was running out for Sasu.
The following morning, three double-trailer heavy trucks finally arrived at the mixed brigade camp. All six containers were opened, and 800 9m22U high-explosive fragmentation rockets were neatly stacked inside.
Apart from Russia, Eastern European countries such as Serbia and Sakhstan, and even the Middle East, can independently produce this rocket.
After removing all markings, it can only be determined from the details on the bullet itself that it was made by the original Russian manufacturer.
The launch tubes are original parts, and the ammunition is also original. However, this early model Hail had never fired the extended-range ammunition before it was destroyed, so the system couldn't help it.
Fortunately, there is also the extended-range Hail-2000 available from Servia, which, after changing the propellant formula, has a maximum range of 40 kilometers.
But if they're so poor they're resorting to hail, what's the difference between 20 kilometers and 40 kilometers?
Anyway, the Afica country won't buy the Hailstorm missiles, as they're still the main force. The 9m22U, priced under $8,000, is the eternal god!
If the caliber were smaller, even the 107 God Cult could compete.
"Mr. Sherlock, the goods are fine. I'll transfer the money directly to your account."
After confirming that all the goods were new stock within the last three years, Marçal felt that the money was well spent and came over to say this.
Compared to the rebels who often use cash or gold, Busa prefers to use bank transfers.
