"You call this an armored vehicle?" Donkey looked at the rectangular iron shell in front of him in shock and confusion.
"14.5PRO500 bulletproof steel plate, why is it not considered an armored vehicle? You can't even pierce armor-piercing bullets!" Wang Zhen immediately became unhappy.
"No... this is too crude. What kind of broken tires are these? What's the speed? What's the climbing ability? How wide a trench can it be? What kind of weapon system? How about the three defenses?" Donkey asked loudly.
"It's just ordinary vacuum tires, the speed is 60, it can't cross the trench, and it has a weapon system. What do I want you to do? It doesn't have three defenses. It would be nice to have an air conditioner." Wang Zhen waved his hand, "Not satisfied, not satisfied.
Go drive an armed pickup truck!"
"Brother, dear brother!" Donkey immediately bared his teeth and showed a standard bitch smile.
"Let's go and try driving around." Shovel jumped up first.
This car only has one double door at the back, and the driver has to get in from the back.
After replacing the engine, the horsepower is still quite sufficient. The enlarged fuel tank, air conditioning, and heat insulation layer make it not feel stuffy even when driving in broad daylight.
There are seats on both sides, which are foldable and can be pushed in and leaned against the car wall when not in use. The space is very large, and there is more than enough space for a team of five people to lie down and sleep in the car.
It's just a little bumpy, but that's obviously not a problem.
For the co-pilot, there are doors on both sides, seven shooting holes, a sunroof on the roof, and a telescopic ladder that can be pulled down.
Shovel tried to close the observation hole and open the display screen. The picture was very clear, but the sight distance could not see as far as the eyes, and there was no low-light function or infrared function.
But it’s not a big problem. There are wire ports on it, so you can modify it yourself at any time.
A set of individual soldier communication systems, with a 1.5-meter antenna erected on the roof of the vehicle, can extend their communication channel to a range of 2 kilometers, greatly enhancing communication capabilities.
I drove it out for a spin on the grasslands and Gobi Desert. Not to mention, the horsepower was very strong, and ordinary potholes were no problem at all. Although the speed was not fast on the highway, it was not slow on the Gobi Desert.
Not to mention anything else, at least when you sit in this car, you feel safe and don't have to worry about any bullets fired from the dark.
Even if it's an RPG, don't worry too much. The bulletproof grille increases the bulletproof capability by at least 50%.
After running for an hour, the group was very satisfied.
"It's a little bankrupt, but it's definitely better than a pickup truck or something. When you drive this thing out, at least you don't have to worry about insufficient firepower, and it's safe when you rest at night!" The donkey also started to smell really good.
"We're back!" Wang Zhen greeted. This car is not suitable for driving into Baghdad.
The terrain in the city is complicated. If you encounter a mentally ill terrorist and give you an RPG, it will be over.
But the problem is not big. I called Daryl and found out that Imperial Barrier has a small base outside the city that is specially used to store supplies. Land in Iraq is very cheap.
…
Five days later, base outside the city.
Wang Zhen and his party moved things into the carriage, including a change of clothes, a marching pot, flour, dried meat, oil, seasonings, vegetable bags, milk powder, mineral water, coffee pot...
Those who knew were going on a mission, but those who didn’t knew thought they were moving!
Of course, there were also boxes of ammunition, including M72, mines, and 100 rounds of 60mm mortar shells!
Just highlight one with sufficient transportation capacity!
Also includes 100 flood protection bags ordered by Wangzhen.
"Let's go!" Wang Zhen waved his hand, and the copycat armored vehicle took the lead, followed closely by two armed pickup trucks, and drove onto the road with a huff, destined for Trebil.
Telebil, the border crossing between Iraq and Jordan, has been closed for a long time. Of course, Jordan is unwilling to open it.
The distance is 550 kilometers. We set out in the evening and arrived early the next morning. Pickup trucks drove the road and copycat armored vehicles walked in the middle. It was a smooth journey.
This made Wang Zhen very puzzled. Why? The last time he transported arms, he was attacked by the enthusiastic Arab villagers. This time, the model was similar, with just an extra layer of armor. How come no one attacked him?
?
Obviously, those Iraqis who eat food along the highway are very smart. They are here to seek money, and they are not terrorists.
This kind of knock-off armored vehicle looks like a terrorist at first glance. Even if you use an RPG or bomb to open the vehicle, the contents inside will be destroyed. If you can't open it, they will be in trouble, so why bother!
When they arrived near the port, they drove the car directly into the wilderness and turned off the engine. Wang Zhen and the poet who had been sleeping in the car got up to watch the night, while the others lay back in the car and fell asleep.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, on the side of the Iraqi exit road in Terebil.
"Hello, I am wong Markus from Glory Defense. You can call me Wang, or you can call me the nickname Wild Boar." Wang Zhen introduced himself to the two men in front of him with a smile.
"Hello, I'd better call you Wang. My name is Penry Street. I am the person in charge of this operation of the Red Letter Society. You can just call me Penri. This is Ronye Keith. I
"Brother, he is also my best guard." said a middle-aged white man wearing glasses, looking a little thin, wearing a hat, with bad skin and a weather-beaten look.
"Hello, Wang, you can call me Ronye." A black man with a bald head and a beard smiled and stretched out his hand, "Man, you don't look like a wild boar. I guess you
You must have a very stubborn temper, if someone provokes you, you will definitely hit him hard, right?"
"No, I usually prefer to talk to them with bullets. You know, bullets can solve problems much faster and more convincingly than words. The one who survives must be the right one." Wang Zhen hammered with a smile.
He hit his chest, and the bulletproof vest made a banging sound.
"Wow, you are different from the Chinese people I know." Penry Street said with some surprise.
"Because I am a different person, so I can't find any other job, so I can only work as a PMC." Wang Zhen shrugged.
"Well, indeed, in so many years, I have never seen other Chinese PMCs, except for the peacekeeping force." Penry Street looked up at the sky, "It's really too hot here, so, can we
Have you set off?"
"Of course." Wang Zhen turned to look at the charity organization's convoy, which included four RVs, a large van, and a truck. He raised his hand and pressed the intercom. "The road is 500 meters ahead of the donkey, the shrapnel drives the armored vehicle, and the blind man drives the pickup truck."
Queen."
"receive."
Within two minutes, the two vehicles drove to the side of the road. Penry Street looked at the imitation armored vehicle in astonishment, "Is this yours?"
Wang Zhen showed an embarrassed smile, "Yes, I don't have money to buy a real armored vehicle, so I can only find someone to modify one."
"Not bad, the last time I saw him was in Liberia." Penry Street said with a strange expression.
"Really? I haven't been to Liberia yet. It seems that everyone has thought of going together." Wang Zhen laughed and then extended the invitation, "How about taking this car? It's air-conditioned and it's quite cool, but it's bumpy.
A little tight, but safe.”
Penry Street looked at each other and nodded at the same time, "Okay, safety is the most important thing here."
The two of them said hello to the motorcade, then followed Wang Zhen and walked over, opening the rear door. Suddenly, a chill hit their faces, making people shiver. It was so comfortable!
The interior of the car is indeed very crude. In order to allow the steel plate of the box body to withstand sufficient impact without deformation, Lao Liu built a steel frame inside the car body and used triangular iron supports on all sides. The style of the car is very strong, but at the same time it also reveals a strong sense of authenticity.
The steampunk aesthetic has a unique flavor.
Pulling out the chairs and sitting down, the team set out on the road. The initial bumps made the two of them a little uncomfortable, but they quickly adapted to it.
After all, I travel to war-torn areas all year round. The conditions in Africa are much worse than this. In many places, there are no decent roads.
The reason why Wang Zhen invited the two of them here was mainly to chat and get closer to each other. Isn't that the reason for taking on this task?
Under the strange gazes of the two people, Wang Zhen opened a small refrigerator and took out a bottle of red wine. After taking a few sips, the relationship seemed to get much closer at once.
These people all have the desire to express themselves. During this period, Wang Zhen learned a lot of speaking skills from Lao Nie, Lao Song and the others. Now he was leading the topic, and the two of them gradually started talking more. They were all talking in other places before.
I experienced this while doing charity work in a local area.
I have done charity activities in Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Eastern Europe... in many places, and they lasted for 12 years.
All kinds of stories, beautiful and ugly, that I have seen and heard are told.
Let’s just say that recently, in the Zaatari refugee camp, there was a person who was struggling to survive with four or five children, working hard to make money to take care of the children at home.
Some people escaped here alone, but they took in many homeless orphans and took care of them.
There are people who form gangs and sell guns and are drug addicts.
There are people abducting women and children.
They can see many evils, but they can't control them at all. They are just charitable organizations and can only try their best to lend a helping hand, but they can't do more.
Wang Zhen was very sad when he heard this. He admired these two people from the bottom of his heart. Working in charity organizations, the salary is not high. One has been working for 12 years and the other for 8 years. He has been doing charity work all over the world. If it were Wang Zhen
, I felt like I couldn’t hold on for a year.
Those who are truly rooted in charity are more idealists than war correspondents. He can't do it himself, but that doesn't stop him from admiring these people.
After a lot of chatting, Penry Straight spoke happily and gave Wang Zhen a few words, "When the construction here is almost complete, people should come to visit. Bring reporters with you, so you can make some preparations in advance.
"
"Don't think they are a burden. Maybe their charitable purposes are not pure, but we have to admit that without them, many charities would not exist."
"Thank you, Peng Li, I understand. I still have a good relationship with these big shots and let them take care of our business." Wang Zhen shrugged and admitted calmly.
"Haha, you are very honest." Ronye Keith said with a smile.
