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

Chapter 427 Titanium alloy, sell it to me! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
This ZU-23-2 is out of date in terms of air defense, but the leveled firepower can absolutely suppress the pirates' 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine guns in terms of density and caliber.

And regardless of whether it is used or not, if you leave Afika and throw it into the high seas, nothing will happen.

The road was not as wild as Ha Yuanjue's. Ordinary rich people who could not install anti-ship missiles on their yachts bought a lot of previously captured pieces of self-defense with Xia Yu before leaving.

For example, machine guns of various calibers, grenade launchers, as well as various brands of rocket launchers and anti-tank missiles.

The best situation is not to encounter pirates, but if you are unlucky, the bodyguards can also steal the pirates and kill them directly.

Isn't this equipment better than those long and short guns?
As for what I felt was a pity to throw it away before leaving the high seas, it was quite interesting to hit the motorboat on the boat, so I could go back and replace it with a new one.

However, the portable anti-aircraft missile Xiayu is not for sale. This thing can hit a passenger plane taking off and landing accurately. If you want to play, you can only shoot down the target drone with the company of the staff.

In short, all the rich people experienced what it means to be rich and god in Afika, and they can get all kinds of equipment, fire and defense.

Xiayu also used these hidden menus to earn tens of millions of dollars.

It wasn't much money, but it helped him clear out half of the arms grocery store, and he saved the money from having to worry about expired missiles and rockets, and the rust on various long guns and short cannons not used by the village protection team.

In addition to firearms, the standardization of light weapons and equipment is Xia Yu's current goal. After all, the heavy equipment for fire defense is already very complicated, so he can only think of ways to deal with light equipment.

For example, the mortars and rocket launchers used by the village protection team still use Soviet equipment.

But the ones used by combat employees have been slowly replaced by those supplied by his hometown. After the celebration party, when he went to Port Noire to receive the second Talik-class destroyer, he signed for a container by the way.

"Squeak~~"

After dragging it back to Bogo Village, I opened the cabinet door and saw that from the inside to the outside, from bottom to top, it was filled with dark green engineering plastic boxes of various specifications.

The 120mm titanium alloy light mortar that Xia Yu has been waiting for for a long time has finally arrived.

Among the various metals used in weapons and equipment, tungsten and titanium are his favorites, and titanium alloys, which are more commonly used as "shields", are also good lightweight materials.

After unpacking and assembling, the large-caliber mortar in front of me, which uses a lot of titanium alloy materials to reduce weight, has its total combat weight reduced to the limit of 170 kilograms, which is heavier than the M82 PRAM L-type Wok that was eliminated by the concentrated fire defense. 8kg lighter.

However, compared to the horseshoe-shaped modular propellant and the extended range to 9.5 kilometers, weight reduction is only one of its advantages. The many indicators that are much higher than competing products are the real reason for Xia Yu's heart.

Helicopter deployment and rapid maneuvering operations in mountains are all about this.

In the relatively flat sections of the mountainous area, the all-terrain vehicle can pull it and cooperate with the 107mm lightweight airborne rocket launcher system to provide fire support.

When encountering extreme terrain, even a cat car can't cope with the situation, just get on the donkey. BMW and MINI just gave birth to twins last year.

Their family of four can completely pull up two titanium alloy 4 guns, and there are enough artillery shells and living supplies for emergency deployment.

There are a total of three such mortars and supporting traction marching systems in the container, and the remaining plastic boxes contain hundreds of different types of artillery shells.

Mortars are not used frequently in combat in desert areas, so it is better to wait until Hans and the others finish their deployment in Mali and return to fruit to rest and recuperate before strengthening training in this area!
After asking the infantry squad of the village protection team behind him to register all the shells and cannons and put them into storage, Xia Yu drove to the villa area in the south of the city to pick up his wife and children back to Bogo Village.

The Chariot Museum had just finished its business for the day, and Paul was invited to attend Little Yuzi’s full moon party.

Time flies very fast. At this time last month, he was still in Europe. It took only 30 days for the Sao Paulo to go from final preparations to official opening, and now it is slowly on the right track.

However, he has to continue to keep an eye on it and receive various equipment one after another until the annual leave in February is over and all new employees arrive before they can go to the Sahel region together.

Generally speaking, there are still a lot of trivial matters at this stage, and Xia Yu cannot go back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year. This full moon banquet is equivalent to celebrating the New Year in advance.

Soon, a convoy of three Panhard VBLs drove into the villa area and picked up the wife, children and mother.

Ms. Hannah went back after Christmas. Her parents were only Lao Xia and Lin Shuqin, and her only friend was Paul, the godfather.

The couple I just met, Mr. Huang, had already gone to the reserve to see the orangutans, so there were only six people present.

Paul was dressed formally in a suit and held a gift for his godson in his hand.

"I didn't know what to give as a gift, so I ordered this longevity lock according to your Chinese customs."

Paul said as he opened the box in his hand, revealing an antique three-color longevity lock inlaid with rubies, sapphires and emeralds.

"This, this is too precious."

Xia Yu said quickly.

"It's not a big-carat one. It only cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in total. Let the kids take it!"

For ordinary people, hundreds of thousands is indeed very expensive, but for Paul and Xia Yu, this amount of money is nothing.

"He can't speak yet. As a father, I will say thank you to Paul on his behalf."

Xia Yu did not continue to refuse. After expressing his gratitude for his son, he took the finely carved longevity lock and put it around Xia De's neck.

"That's right. I hope this Longevity lock can bring this child good luck and live to be a hundred years old in peace, unlike his godfather."

Looking at the drooling little Yuzu, Paul pinched his godson's cheek and prayed.

Although he never married and had no children, he loved children.

This longevity lock connected the two people and successfully established the relationship between them as godfather, godson, godfather and adopted son.

"I'll tell him when he grows up."

Xia Yu said to Paul, and the camera behind him also faithfully recorded the conversation between the two people.

"Let's eat. The Chinese food here is more authentic than the one in Seattle."

Paul said as he called everyone to sit down.

After this sumptuous full-moon feast, Xia Yu, who was holding his son in his arms, and his friends came to his tea room that doubled as a study and weapons depot.

"There is a cafe set up by the employees themselves in the village, and there is a cigar bar on the second floor of the parking lot, but the only place to drink tea is here."

After making a cup of Biluochun for Paul, Xia Yu introduced it to him.

"It's very good, especially in a place like Afica, where you enjoy life and the space is well distributed with work."

Paul knew the nature of Xia Yu's work, and it was impossible for him to build a luxurious manor like the traditional rich.

The parking lot, hangar, museum, and the entire village that serves him. After adding various functions, he is more like a medieval lord who does not collect taxes.

"Some people say that turning a hobby into a career is painful. I don't think so, because I enjoy everything now, and it is precisely because of the special nature of the industry that I can collect all kinds of military equipment without any scruples."

After taking a sip of tea, Xia Yu talked eloquently.

“But some hobbies don’t have to be turned into careers, such as deep-sea exploration.”

"This is a very money-consuming project, and it is difficult to make a profit. Without continued capital investment, it will be difficult for the entire team to operate healthily."

"you mean…"

Paul understood immediately. Xia Yu was referring to his Vulcan marine scientific research team and his scientific research ship Haiyan.

"Yes, I am not trying to win someone's love, but I want to continue your career of exploring the ocean. Jody is not interested in this."

Xia Yu continued. He met Paul's sister, Jodi, and discovered through dinner table conversations that this strong woman was not interested in anything her brother was interested in.

There was no other way, Xia Yu had to take action while his friend could still make up his mind.

"You are right. She did not grow up to be the kind of person that her parents hoped she would be, the kind of person who is full of curiosity about the world. Her character is traditional and boring."

He has the most say in what kind of his sister he is, and Paul agrees with Xia Yu's opinion.

"Sherlock, if Vulkan is moved to Afica and the home port of the Petrel is located in Pointe-Noire, will you be able to devote 120% of your enthusiasm to ocean exploration in the next few decades?"

After thinking for a moment, Paul asked Xia Yu seriously.

"Of course, my friend, although I bought the Birdie, space is too far away from me. My focus and energy outside of work are still focused on the closer ocean."

Xia Yu returned seriously.

He was a man who wanted to assemble an invincible fleet to be buried with him, so how could he be so stingy about his enthusiasm?

"Then I have no problem. I will promote this matter when I return to the United States. I also hope that you can achieve greater achievements than me in ocean exploration."

Paul made his decision on the spot.

He didn't have time or didn't want to think about it before, but now that he has officially talked about it, he is not afraid that his sister will sell his ocean exploration business at a low price, but he is afraid that he will sell it to the wrong person and ruin the achievements that he is proud of.

On the other hand, if Xia Yu's character passed Paul's test, then he would be willing to entrust this aspect of his career to him.

"Thank you for your trust and blessings, my friend."

Xia Yu thanked her sincerely.

Taking over Paul's existing team and research vessel would save him a lot of effort in the early stages of entering the field.

For Xiayu now, this is more important than how much money is spent.

"Thank you, but is this little guy asleep?"

Seeing the little Yuzi who was dancing happily just close her eyes, Paul asked.

"He's asleep, but it's only 8 o'clock now. I'm afraid I won't have a good night's sleep again. I'll return him to his mother, and we'll just go out for a walk."

Xia Yu stood up and said after finishing a cup of tea without refilling it.

"Row!"

After leaving his son in Liv's hands, he and Paul came to the parking lot behind.

"Is this Leopard 2?"

Looking at the two heavy main battle vehicles parked on the empty first floor, Paul asked uncertainly.

Because both tanks looked nothing like the Leopard 2 in his impression.

"Yes, both of them were trophies captured during my deployment in Syria. The Turqi people lost them to Ace, and the Black Army gave them to me in turn, but their performance was too poor. , some modifications are needed.”

Xia Yu introduced his collection to his friends.

"This most unusual gun has a thicker muzzle, so it uses a 130mm main gun?"

Paul guessed, pointing to the red cheetah.

"No, I replaced it with a 125mm main gun, but there is no autoloader."

You have to spend money to make money. When operating a vehicle, you have to consider here and there. He just needs to pile up all the good things in his own collection.

"What about this car?"

Paul said and looked at the other Leopard 2.

"I upgraded it to a Leopard 2A7 Plus, which still has a 120mm caliber, but has a longer diameter barrel. The hollow armor has also been replaced with a sharp-edged heavy explosive anti-reaction system. The active defense system has two types of injurious and non-injurious ones. It can be selected according to the specific situation.”

At this moment, Xia Yu looked like a little boy showing off toys and cards with his friends.

Of course, this kind of good thing that can see the light must be shared. As for taking it to the battlefield, he thinks that the Leopard 2 can be left on the training ground.

After all, the power system it is proud of can drag a nearly 70-ton car body, so there is not much redundancy.

Therefore, Leclerc UAE with the same power package is more reliable than Leopard 2 in Xia Yu’s mind.

When the day comes when the company's three tank crews are no longer enough, and when new tanks are added, he will only choose between Leclerc UAE and T-3U tanks.

This is also convenient for logistics. It doesn’t matter if there are a few cars. But when the number increases and there are all kinds of different models, it will be terrible.

"So I said man, want to take them out for a spin?"

Xia Yu patted the car and extended an invitation to Paul.

"Of course, I can't handle fighter jets, but German luxury cars are no problem."

Paul said confidently.

As he said, the Leopard 2 is indeed a luxury car. The spacious interior is more friendly than the Soviet cars. The on-board air conditioner not only ensures the stable operation of the equipment, but also allows the occupants to enjoy constant temperature cooling. The price is even more expensive. Not like consumables.

It can only be said that the country that bought this thing has no intention of serious war.

…………

"Dong~~"

"Dong~~"

Paul stayed one night, and the next morning he drove a red Leopard 2 to the shooting range, and destroyed a T-72M1 target vehicle with several consecutive rounds.

This was a pleasure I had never experienced in Magnesia. In the afternoon, I transferred to the Leopard 2A7 Plus and fully felt the difference between 125mm sub-loaded ammunition and 120mm fully loaded ammunition. I also had a clear understanding of what modern main warfare is.

It's a pity that it's a bit late.

A few years ago, even if it was not allowed in the Magnesium Kingdom, he could open an Afika and South American branch like Xia Yu to collect various modern tanks.

With a price of tens of millions, Paul could afford an armored company of 14 tanks without blinking an eye, and this was just one of the more expensive paintings in his collection.

But now he had no time and energy. After experiencing the German tanks, he rested for two days before he regained his energy and sat in the front seat of the Stuka to experience this classic dive bomber.

In order to take care of Paul's health, Xiayu did not dive, but just soared over the sea facing the sunset.

"I love the bumpy feeling, it makes me feel more alive than the Gulf Stream."

Paul's excited voice came over the radio.

Perhaps it was an illusion caused by feelings and illness. Xia Yu in the back seat smiled helplessly. Without a filter, he still felt that the Gulfstream was more comfortable.
