Chapter 1015: Advance Team
"Alas... It seems that we have had a hard time." Zhang Hong sighed, looking at a green jeep in front of him and sighing.
This is a car that has just come out of the Havana vehicle modification factory. In order to improve the endurance, the power of the car has been changed from a gasoline engine to an electric motor equipped with a high-energy battery.
Behind Zhang Hong are twelve soldiers, all elite soldiers and strong generals in the army, who were selected to form the advance team of the African Army.
These include the army's sniper instructor Sergeant Li Cha, the old Captain Harris of the Special Operations Team of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Mark Shi of the Mutant Guard, the head of the army. There are basically everyone in this team, and the leader is Qin Weidong, the battalion commander of the 1st Guards Battalion.
In response to Zhang Hong's exclamation, Mark Shiweng asked in a low voice: "What kind of hard life? Do you want to go hungry?"
"I mean this car is not armored." Zhang Hong knocked on the door of the Jeep. "This will be the only vehicle we have when we arrive at the destination, but any bullet can penetrate it."
Max shook his head and said, "Mutants don't need armor, we never think about that."
Zhang Hong was angry, "I am an armored soldier, and I like armored vehicles. But this vehicle..."
The modified jeep in front of him weighed more than two tons, and it was equipped with a 105mm caliber recoilless gun. This is the Type 75 recoilless gun vehicle that Zhou Qingfeng got. It's powerful enough, it runs fast, and the close support is very powerful, but it has no armor.
The old Harris stepped forward and patted Zhang Hong on the shoulder, "It seems that we have to rely on you to provide fire support when we arrive in Africa."
Zhang Hong rolled his eyes, "Don't cause me too much trouble, my artillery crew is only four people, and only one hundred shells. And I will definitely not get any supplies in a short time."
"Don't worry, I'm still here." Sergeant Li Cha carried a large-caliber M107A2 anti-material rifle on his back, and his two-man sniper team was probably the biggest reassurance in the team.
"What ship are we going to go to Angola on?" Mugabe was also a member of the advance team's crew, and he was its guide and liaison before the outpost was established.
This guy recently received a special subsidy from the Legion, so he went to the market in Havana to buy a large amount of goods, apparently wanting to take it back to Africa to make a fortune. And looking at this guy with a big bag and a trailer, no one in the advance team likes him.
"We don't take a boat." Qin Weidong, with white beard and hair, finally arrived at the advance team camp and brought a warrant to prepare for departure, "It will take at least half a month on the road by boat, so the army commander brought us a Faster means of transport."
"Not by boat? By plane?" Mugabe expressed surprise. "The airport in Angola has been destroyed. We can't find a place to land."
"Actually, we only need a slightly flat grass to land. And then we will learn how to drive our vehicles." After Qin Weidong finished speaking, he pointed to the top of his head, "Look at the sky, our big toy has arrived."
Above the sky, two medium-sized airships more than 20 meters long were slowly landing. Their sudden appearance aroused the curiosity and astonishment of the entire Havana residents. Countless people looked up at these two inexplicably appearing big guys.
"My God!" Zhang Hong was speechless, "I'm going to Africa with this thing?"
Old Harris was also dumbfounded, "I've never sat in this thing before, where did the Legion Commander get it?"
Mark Shi didn't make a fuss, but was quite excited about the appearance of this big toy. But Mugabe asked weakly: "Can my goods be transported by airship?"
"No." Qin Weidong refused without hesitation, "This kind of airship can only carry seven tons, our gun carriage and shells weigh three tons, twelve people and weapons and equipment weigh more than two tons, and the remaining load can only be carried by three tons. To hold food, medicine, logistical supplies such as radio stations.
Let's go in an airship,
Keep one just in case you can come to the rescue. The load on an airship is already very tight, and private goods cannot be carried casually. "
"But I..." Mugabe was very unwilling, but Qin Weidong continued: "It takes three days for training, and the flight takes about five days, which means that we will land in Africa in about a week. Now I announce that the legion will go to Africa The plan has officially started and the advance team has been formed."
After Qin Weidong finished speaking loudly, most of the advance team immediately echoed loudly to help the momentum. And just near the advance team camp, the 300-member African Army Expeditionary Death Squad was also formed. Rios has changed from a refugee to the squadron leader of the Death Squad, with three teams of No. 30 under his command.
Expeditionary death squads remained in quarantine camps for training. Across the barbed wire, many team members were watching the slowly falling airship. The instructor has already said that the airship will transport the advance team to set off. If all goes well, the Expendables will follow in airships carrying weapons and construction tools.
"What does Africa look like now?"
"There will be wars everywhere."
"Do we really have a half chance of dying?"
"On the bright side, the indigenous fighting power in Africa must be weak."
"But we're not getting any better."
Listening to the gossip of his subordinates, Rios' eyes were focused and determined. Apart from his own life, he has nothing to give up, and naturally he has nothing to fear. On the contrary, he now has a good starting point, as long as he can obtain meritorious service, he can officially join the legion.
"I'd rather die in Africa than continue to be a coward." Rios turned his head and looked at the other side of the quarantine camp. Over there is a camp for temporary refugee workers. There are many more of them, thousands of them.
Not everyone chooses to join the Expeditionary Expedition like Rios, but it is ridiculous to go to Africa even as a temporary laborer. At most, they will delay for a while, and they will set off after the outpost is established.
And at the pier in Havana port, the 'Bird of Paradise', which had just finished maintenance, was re-launched from the dock. The bulk carrier with a capacity of tens of thousands of tons will carry thousands of refugee laborers to Africa, for which its fuel tanks will be filled with fuel.
Old man Dave stood by the port, looking at the airship he got from his relationship for a while, and at the giant ship on the port for a while, he was satisfied with the efficient actions of the Aurora Legion.
"It is indeed the target I chose. After confirming the plan, the execution ability is extremely strong. I really want to go to the future to see its future development. It must be very interesting." Old man Dave is full of confidence, feeling that he has discovered a piece that has not been recognized. A gold mine discovered by man.
In the Capitol Building in Havana, Zhou Qingfeng also stood in front of the window and looked at the airships floating in the sky. These airships would transport his subordinates thousands of kilometers away to demonstrate his will.
"How many Chinese in Africa can I transport back?" Zhou Qingfeng thought to himself. According to the data, more than one million Chinese lived in Africa more than ten years ago, and this number doubled several times before the catastrophe. "I hope that the descendants of the dragon will be more courageous and live well to have the hope of being rescued."
If he can get back 20,000 compatriots, Zhou Qingfeng's power can be said to have greatly increased.
If he can get back 50,000 compatriots, Zhou Qingfeng can expand strongly.
Being able to get back 100,000 compatriots, Zhou Qingfeng dared to dominate the entire Caribbean within a year.
Now let's see the result of this operation...!
