Firepower is king.

Chapter 308

Gao Guang called Danny and reported that he was leaving the factory to go to Johannesburg to perform the escort duty. Then, he said naturally: "Do you know what happened in South Africa?"

In South Africa, Gao Guang does not have any news channels of his own. He wants to know how the situation will develop, so he can only ask Danny.

Zhanhuo Group has business in South Africa, so Danny should be concerned about the situation in South Africa.

"Do you know former President Jacob Zuma?"

"Yes, I didn't know, but now I know who he is. He resigned in February this year, and then faced many charges. The situation is not good now."

"Every time Jacob is sentenced, there will be some turmoil in South Africa, and Jacob's supporters will use various methods to exert pressure, so every time the charges against Jacob will be fruitless, this time It's the same, South Africa will definitely be in short-term turmoil, there will be some riots in the big cities, but there will be no major problems."

Danny's judgment is similar to Gao Guang's, basically it's some public information, but Gao Guang doesn't know why there is a little turmoil, but Eric Mining Company is so nervous.

Now, it's just a sign of turmoil. Maybe it's because Eric's company processes gold, so it's extra sensitive and vigilant.

In fact, for the PMC company, it is better to wish for riots every day. If the world is peaceful, there is no need for a PMC that sells force. In a turbulent and chaotic area, a PMC is indispensable. In a war-torn area, a PMC It became a sweet pastry.

So there is nothing to be nervous about, there is nothing to be afraid of when encountering a small group of robbers, as long as South Africa does not fall into civil war, there will be no major problems.

After completing the report, I inquired about the news. Although it is useless, but the necessary prerequisite work has been completed, Gao Guang hung up the phone and said to a group of people: "Is everything packed?"

Mike was holding two guns, a 5.56mm M4 and a 6.8mm Sig MCX rifle. He said with a tangled face, "I'm not sure which gun to use."

"It's up to you, use whatever you like."

The new 6.8mm caliber gun is for Gao Guang and the others to try out, and it is not mandatory to use it. Of course, you can use whichever you like.

"Small caliber can be fired in bursts, and 6.8 caliber is more powerful, but it is a bit difficult to control when firing bursts... Uh, I don't know which gun to use."

Gao Guang didn't know which gun to use, because like Mike said, both guns have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it's really hard to choose.

The 5.56 caliber does not penetrate body armor well enough, but bursts are easier to control.

The penetrating power of the 6.8 mm caliber is greatly enhanced, and the kinetic energy of the muzzle is greatly increased. It is not that it cannot be fired continuously, but the recoil force of the continuous fire is too large, and it basically becomes a semi-automatic rifle.

At this time, an experienced person is needed to make a choice, and the most experienced among them are Patrick and Francisco.

However, Francisco said: "It is better to use a small-caliber rifle for the escort in the car. Most of the time, you just need to shoot randomly at the outside of the car window, and you can't even see where the enemy is. Deterrence is much more important than accurate shooting." , and South Africans don’t have that much body armor.”

Mike made up his mind and said, "Okay, then I'll take the M4, and ten magazines must be enough for me, right?"

Among the people in the King's Defense, Mike is the one who participated in the least battles. To some extent, he is still a rookie, so it is really normal for Mike to have any problems.

The regular army will not carry too many bullets, but the PMC must carry as many bullets as possible, so the regular army usually has six magazines. If they want to fight for a long time, they will bring more bulk bullets, and the amount of ammunition they can carry is often not More than [-] rounds, because it is necessary to bring other equipment, it is impossible to use all the load to carry bullets.

But Gao Guang and the others are fighting by car. If there is no accident, there will be no logistics, and there will be no support. Everything can only rely on the little ammunition they bring. Although it is reasonable to say that they will not encounter too high a battle intensity, But as long as it fits in the car and can move on the back, you must carry more bullets.

If conditions permit and the environment is more extreme, PMCs or mercenaries will also carry spare guns, and if the conditions are more relaxed, they will even equip the spare guns with a large number of bullets.

The habit of Pmc is basically cultivated from Iraq, because the desert in Iraq is very unfriendly to relatively delicate guns like the M4. There is no way to deal with it, or it is too late to deal with it, so the PMC in Iraq likes to bring an AK47 as a backup gun.

That's why Mike said that ten magazines is not too much for him to bring. He didn't bring ten full magazines, plus a few hundred rounds of loose bullets, which means that he hasn't cultivated the fear of running out of ammunition on the battlefield. disease.

Compared with Patrick, Mike's choice seems to be lazy.

"I carry PKM, I will carry four hundred-round belt bags and a two-hundred-round belt, PKM is stable and reliable, so I will not carry a spare gun, but I will carry a spare barrel, and I will Bring a carrying case that can hold ten 6.8-round ammunition chains on the car. If any of you have spare carrying space, please help me bring a [-]-round ammunition chain. In addition, I do not choose [-] caliber, but I It is strongly recommended that you bring it as a backup gun."

After finishing speaking, Patrick spread his hands and said very seriously: "Basically, in every battle I have experienced, I will face the situation that the power of the small-caliber rifle is not enough. Please listen carefully, it is every battle, so since You have new options, so don't waste them."

Patrick uses an old gun that he is familiar with, and he has a lot of bullets. Basically, he can't carry anything except the machine gun and bullets, but he still recommends that others bring a more powerful gun. spare gun.

Mike was dumbfounded when he heard this, and then he said with a wry smile: "Are you planning to deal with a battle? Well, I will bring a new rifle and six more magazines, so my bag will be stuffed with everything. No more."

Gao Guang does not plan to bring a spare gun, because the environment in South Africa is not bad, at least there is not so much sand and dust. The most important thing is that his rifle is HK416. Although the shape is the same as the M4, it is a short-stroke piston automatic rather than an air-blown one. , the reliability is much stronger than M4.

But let Patrick say this, then there is no need to worry about the highlight, the new rifle must be brought, and all members must bring it.

"Okay, all of us, except Patrick, have new guns to spare."

Not giving an order is a free choice, but giving an order is an order.

The spare gun, the ammunition bag of the spare gun, has an extra load of at least ten kilograms, so each of Gao Guang and the others has two guns, and when the big bag of ammunition is out of the house, it is very difficult for Saxon who arranged the vehicle. is surprised.

"Are you... are you going to fight?"

Gao Guang was carrying two bags and two guns on his shoulders. He put down a bag and said to Saxon, "I hope you have prepared two larger cars for us."

Saxon said with a smile: "I have prepared two Nissan Patrols for you, and they will definitely be able to hold your things. We have a total of three vehicles for travel. Well, I have to say that your equipment can give people a sense of security. I originally wanted to Riding in a car with Malcolm, but now... can I take your car? Can I?"

The people who dealt with each other made a request. Although the vehicles responsible for safety generally would not allow unrelated personnel to board the vehicle, Gao Guang did not want to refuse Saxon's request.

"Of course, you can take a car with me."

Saxon turned around and pointed to the two large white off-road vehicles, and said, "Those two vehicles belong to you, you can load things on them now, Malcolm will drive that Land Rover, now I'll go and talk to him, just say you guys Someone needs to guide the way in the car, he should agree to let me take your car, wait for me, I will be back soon."

Saxon trotted to the office building again, and after Saxon left, John said with a puzzled look: "Saxon looks a little nervous, what we are going to escort must be gold, I am just curious, if this escort process is dangerous , so why did Malcolm and Saxon personally escort them?"

Gao Guang didn't know the answer, but he felt that since both Malcolm and Saxon were involved in this escort, it shouldn't be too dangerous. According to his understanding of Malcolm, this is not a person who is willing to risk his life for his duty. The risk-taker, on the contrary, is Saxon. Although he is young, he is in the period of pursuing his career and is very willing to do anything for promotion and salary increase.

Gao Guang and the others put their things in the car. Guns and ammunition must not be left in the trunk, and two guns must be kept at hand. Therefore, although the car is indeed spacious, it has guns and ammunition, and everyone is in body armor. Wearing it on the body, no matter how big the car is, it will not feel very loose.

Gao Guang, Mike and Francisco got into a car and reserved a seat for Saxon in the back seat. It’s December, it’s summer in the southern hemisphere, and two o’clock in the afternoon is the hottest time, so Gao Guang and the others waited in the car with the air conditioner on.

Ten minutes later, Saxon and Malcolm came out together, along with Malcolm's driver and two bodyguards who were also fully armed.

Malcolm also brought bodyguards, so it seems that this escort is really not that simple. After all, there is no chaos in South Africa, there are only some signs, but it is not such a look like an enemy.

Saxon looked a little unhappy. He didn't say hello to Malcolm, and walked directly to the two Patrols, so Gao Guang lowered the window glass and said, "This way."

Gao Guang wanted to get out of the car to talk to Malcolm, but Malcolm got into his car directly, and Saxon also got into Gao Guang's car directly. After sitting down, he immediately said: "One car for you, one car for the other. The car is in the back and Malcolm's car is in the middle."

After finishing speaking, Saxon breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice: "Let's go, I have nothing to say, just be careful on the road."
