Don't talk about martial arts, I'm a war contractor

Chapter 29 Daily life at sea, gun practice

But who is Xia Yu? He was a man who aspired to become a navy back then, and this storm couldn't stop him.

Taking the flashlight to the cargo hatch, the movable cargo hatch cover is very tight, so there is no need to worry about the seawater and rainwater getting wet the cargo inside, but Xia Yu still has to go down to check.

Well, by the way, change to another Weasel A3.

The one for his own use was ready first, but the one delivered to old Anka was only completed.

In this way, Xiayu has to go down to the bilge every other day to exchange the old for the new, and only half of the maintenance rate can be completed before arriving at the port.

Life is not easy, Xiao Haijun sighed.

After changing the car, I climbed the ladder and returned to the deck. Just as the hatch was closed, a big wave came.

"Crack~~"

Xia Yu was not thrown out, but was washed by the sea water. It stands to reason that this was unlucky, but there was also a big fish that came up with the waves.

The skin is so ugly that it looks so ugly, this is an Atlantic cod!

It is not easy to eat cod in Kongluga. Today, Xiayu was lucky, and there were fish even if the pole was not lowered, which made the heavily armed Air Force guy feel uncomfortable.

Grabbing the gills of the fish with his right hand, he picked it up, and went straight to the kitchen to let Chef Yidali add another meal today.

Frozen goods are not as good as fresh ones. If you want to eat fresh ones on board, sometimes you have to rely on the gift of the sea.

In the rough sea area, the waves will catch it, and in the quiet and peaceful sea area, there will be unexpected fish jumping up by themselves. In short, there are various methods.

"Well, mine should be steamed, I don't want to fry it."

Xia Yu can't speak Italian, and the cook can't speak English either. The two can only rely on simple vocabulary and gestures.

"OK, OK!"

Seeing that the cook understood, Xia Yu also went to the cockpit in peace.

Although it was against the rules, the captain had to admit that this Asian was the best cargo owner he had ever seen.

I can't drive a warship, and it's the same with a cargo ship. Anyway, the engine hours are calculated, so when he's bored, he will come to the cockpit to help the captain and first mate.

There is a lesson to be learned, the owner of the ship who paid for the chartered boat and returned it by himself is only Xia. Fortunately, he also has experience in automatic driving, otherwise it will be a big loss.

However, the most important duty of Xiayu is to escort the ship. A few years ago, the pirates in Yading Bay were more rampant, and then they disappeared under the escort of the multinational fleet.

It's just that the legend of pirates has not become a swan song, and the coast of West Africa has gradually become a new "Caribbean Sea", where a few AKs and boats gather, and pirates become bigger and stronger and make a fortune.

In addition, for some reason, the escort fleet here is not easy to handle.

In such a situation, when the cargo ships traveling to and from Europe-West Africa pass through this sea area, they either take risks, hoping that their luck is not so bad, or ask the cargo owners to pay for PMC's armed escort.

Of course, Xia Yu was unwilling to pay the money, because he started a PMC company himself, but he hadn't launched any offshore business yet.

But the advantages of a small company are now reflected, as long as the boss makes a decision, we can take over the work at sea, or the boss will do it himself.

It seems that our company doesn't have a second candidate who can go on the horse. Domi is even a landlubber, how can he fight pirates on a boat.

That is to say, this batch of goods is quite sensitive, and other PMC employees are not at ease on board Xiayu, otherwise how could such a generous person like him be reluctant to pay the escort fee of tens of thousands of dollars.

Safety is always the first priority, and Xia Yu has always been the way of survival.

A few days later, when we sailed away from the North Atlantic Ocean, the weather suddenly became brighter, and the warm sunshine made people lazy.

Xia Yu also lost the motivation to earn experience and just wanted to stay in the sun and test fire his new gun.

As expected of the place of production, the purchase was much faster than in Afica, and he got the goods before leaving the port, but the weather at that time was not suitable for gun practice, and it has been delayed until now.

"One, two, three, let go!"

Two crew members came to help, and the three tied a large foam sampan with a rope and threw it into the sea from the stern, with a steel target that Xia Yu bought specially on it.

"Wow, what a work of art."

Seeing Xia Yu open the gun box and see the brand new L115A3 sniper rifle inside, a crew member couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Because he runs the same route all year round, he has come into contact with many PMC employees who provide security services.

Most of them have rifles with scopes, and a few have professional snipers.

But none of the sniper's guns looked as expensive as the one in front of me, and the well-designed gun body exuded the smell of money.

So this Asian consignor and ship escort PMC is an ace sniper?

How should I put it, this is the first sniper rifle that Xia Yu has touched.

Before retiring from the army, he had only seen [-] snipers from a distance, so no matter how thick-skinned he was, it was not easy to admit that he was an ace sniper.

As for magnifying the caliber, he has a few sniper results, but they can't be engraved on the handle of the gun, they can only be brushed on the explosive.

Load a five-round magazine into the slot, then pull the bolt to load the cartridge.

The gun has been calibrated, and the sniper scope did not choose the highest 25 times, but adjusted to 8 times, because the rope is only 500 meters long.

Speaking of .338 caliber bullets, it seems that there is no need to consider falling for 500 meters!
"Bang~~"

When the trigger was pulled, the steel target in the mirror shook, and then a slight metal impact sound was heard.

Xia Yu wanted to say that the money was not in vain. He had never used other sniper rifles, but he should be able to hit the target within 500 meters with this gun.

Extending to 800 meters, if the target is still a moving target, then a lot of practice is needed, and the amount of practice starts to scrap a barrel!

The recommended lifespan given by Precision International is 5000 rounds, and the wholesale price of .338 is $5 a round. After practicing like this, you can catch up with it and buy another gun.

Xia Yu can afford the money, but he can't afford the time. After all, he is also a boss who spends tens of dollars every minute. Soliciting business and doing projects is his serious job.

But now, there are still ten days before arriving in Hong Kong, which is enough for him to train for a while.

"Bang~~"

When the cartridge case was removed and another bullet was loaded, the crew was a little interested at the beginning, but soon became insensitive.

Doesn't this guy need money for his bullets?

In the past, those PMC employees only had 10 rounds of bullets in their test guns, and the bang bang bang sounded almost all afternoon.

Forget, this guy is the cargo owner.

It was only when the crew remembered this, that the entire cargo was owned by someone else, so there was no way they could be rich.

Just thinking about playing on his own really allowed Xia Yu to accumulate a lot of experience.

It seems that there is no need to confess the gun when you go back, and you will have a chance to practice it when you go to Panaka later. Whether it is a mule or a horse, just pull it out for a while.

After firing today's 100 rounds, Xia Yu started maintenance of the firearm in the setting sun.

The vehicle-mounted machine gun can free the labor of the system, and the pistol and rifle can only be done by himself. Fortunately, he is not very resistant to maintaining these guys who eat.

Although vehicles are used in most of the battles, it is inevitable that there will be moments of hand-to-hand combat. At this moment, guns are definitely faster than cannons.

Good maintenance is essential to keep them looking their best.

After closing the lid of the box, Xia Yu asked two crew members who were okay to help recover the target ship, and each gave a tip of 50.

Of course, this kind of thing saves money and effort, and the crew is also happy to make some extra money.
