Rejecting Qinghua Baoyan, I became a military officer
Chapter 765 Ferrari Enzo!
Chapter 765 Ferrari - Enzo!
"Comrade Xu, it's nice to see you again!"
Upon seeing Xu Ye enter, the person in charge stood up with a smile to greet him.
"Hello, Chief!"
Xu Ye saluted.
The two had met the person in charge several times before and were considered acquaintances.
After exchanging New Year's greetings, the person in charge didn't waste any time and personally took Xu Ye to the airport warehouse.
By this time, the delivery plane had already left.
"Here is the list of supplies. Please check it."
Upon arriving at the warehouse, the person in charge handed Xu Ye a folder.
Although this wasn't the first time he had seen what was in front of him.
But I was still filled with curiosity and shock.
However, he kept the relevant rules firmly in mind: don't ask what you shouldn't ask!
"Ok!"
Xu Ye took it and started reading.
It has to be said, as expected of Saddam Hussein, his spending is indeed quite substantial.
They gave away two cars alone: a Ferrari supercar and a genuine US-made Hummer SUV!
As for where this off-road vehicle came from?
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be spoils of war.
After all, although Saddam Hussein lost power, he did gain something.
For example, this almost brand-new Hummer was probably the one that was captured and transported to Russia, and is now being given to him.
Of course, the weapon systems on it have already been removed.
This is a gift for Xu Ye, not something to cause him trouble.
If they bring the full set of weapons and equipment, is it a gift to Xu Ye or to the Chinese military?
It has to be said that in this respect, Shadama really had Xu Ye's best interests at heart!
"Sir, please keep these things. Consider them my New Year's gifts to everyone!"
Xu Ye glanced at the list, quickly ticked some boxes on it, and said with a smile.
These are the two vehicles, but there are also a lot of local specialties from Russia – food and drinks – which are measured in tons.
Xu Ye couldn't possibly use all of this stuff by himself, so he simply waved his hand and sent away a small portion of it.
After all, his "hometown" will be in Kunming for a long time to come, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, there will be plenty of opportunities to interact with him in the future.
Besides, they've cooperated with me quite a bit in the past.
"Comrade Xiao Xu, isn't this inappropriate?"
Although he was delighted, the person in charge did not immediately agree.
After all, Xu Ye really spent a lot of money on this, and it was quite valuable!
Although it was only a small portion, the Il-76 carried a lot, and apart from two large trucks, the remaining space was completely filled.
It really was a whole plane full; the person in charge saw it clearly at the time.
If his superiors hadn't specifically called to give him instructions, the person in charge would never have believed that these things were all for Xu Ye.
"It's fine, I don't need it all anyway, I can't just resell it, can I?" Xu Ye said nonchalantly.
He paused, then said with a hint of "threat," "If you really don't want it, then I'll call Wolf Fang!"
"want!"
The person in charge immediately said, "Comrade Xu, on behalf of everyone at the base, I would like to express my gratitude to you!"
How could I possibly refuse!
If we were to refuse, the news would spread throughout the entire base in less than a day.
At that time, they won't say anything, but they'll definitely have a lot of complaints in their hearts.
After all, these supplies would amount to a considerable amount if distributed to each person, not to mention that they were imported goods.
It's 2004 now, not 2025. Imported goods are still synonymous with high-end and sophisticated.
"Commander, you're too kind. I've troubled you a lot in the past!" Xu Ye waved his hand. "I guess I'll be doing it again in the future."
"Comrade Xu, you're too kind. It's not a bother at all. We're overjoyed that you're here!" the person in charge said cheerfully.
"Haha, it's settled then!" Xu Ye laughed heartily.
"It's settled!" the person in charge said with a smile.
This young Xu is not only incredibly capable, but his conduct and interpersonal skills are also truly admirable. No wonder he's a lieutenant colonel at such a young age; there's nothing to envy about him!
While they were distributing supplies, Xu Ye didn't go to look at the two vehicles.
There's nothing much to see. Back in YLK, Xu Ye drove a lot of these Hummers.
As for that Ferrari?
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Xu Ye will only be able to drive it a handful of times, and it will most likely become a collector's item.
As for giving it to Han Ziqing?
Goodness, in the public eye, her identity is actually more sensitive than her own.
However, considering that it is 2004 and the Internet is not as developed yet, it is not impossible to open it.
We'll ask her then!
Anyway, the car was obtained legitimately, so no one can say anything about it.
"Captain, are you asleep?"
Xu Ye walked to the side and dialed Li Kenan's number directly.
I had planned to go to Langya before, and now, before I even go, I'll send the gifts over first.
"Nope!"
Li Kenan's voice sounded tired.
For most people, the Lunar New Year holiday is a rare opportunity to relax and have fun, but for some, it is a busier, more stressful, and even more stressful time than usual.
For example, Xu Ye's prospective father-in-law and Li Kenan.
"What happened?"
Immediately afterwards, Li Kenan's voice became much more spirited.
Clearly, Xu Ye calling him at this hour inevitably made Li Kenan a little nervous.
What happened?
Business?
Or is it a private matter?
……
In that instant, Li Kenan thought of many things.
"Captain, it's nothing!" Xu Ye quickly said, "I just helped someone with a small favor a while ago, and now that it's Chinese New Year, they sent me some New Year's gifts, a whole planeload, quite a lot."
"I figured I couldn't possibly use it all by myself, so I thought I'd share some with the old troops!"
With over twenty tons of supplies, Xu Ye couldn't possibly use them all.
So, I'll take this opportunity, which is open and aboveboard, to report back to my old unit.
"Ok?"
Li Kenan didn't quite process what he was saying for a moment. "Not bad, kid, you haven't forgotten your roots. Very good!"
"Where are you now? I'll send someone over."
Since Xu Ye had made up his mind at this point, Li Kenan naturally understood his meaning.
At this moment, Li Kenan also came to his senses and had some guesses in his mind.
Is one plane a bit too much?
Moreover, considering the recent world situation, if Li Kenan still can't guess this move at all, he should just quit being the captain of the Wolf Fang Squad and retire as soon as possible!
"Send more vehicles to the Chuncheng military airport!" Xu Ye quickly instructed.
"understood!"
Upon hearing this, Li Kenan was also delighted. This plane is quite large!
"By the way, do you want to come along too?" Li Kenan asked.
"In a few days!"
Xu Ye thought for a moment and said.
Taking advantage of the few days he had free time, Xu Ye decided to spend more time with Han Ziqing and fulfill his responsibilities as a boyfriend.
After all, unlike herself, Han Ziqing could not decide the length of her vacation. Once the seventh day of the Lunar New Year was over, Han Ziqing would have to go back to her usual place.
Unfortunately, Han Ziqing is currently juggling two jobs: an internship at CCTV and her studies, which requires her to dedicate even more energy.
It's fortunate that she's smart and eager to learn; otherwise, she would have been in a complete mess.
"Alright, if you want to come, just come!" Li Kenan didn't insist.
Although Xu Ye didn't say it directly, Li Kenan could easily guess what he had been busy with these past few days in Kunming!
While they were sorting supplies and the Wolf Fang men were still at it, Xu Ye, having nothing else to do, went to check the two vehicles.
"Should I get you a couple of military license plates to hang on?"
The person in charge who came along decided to deepen the relationship between the two parties and made a suggestion.
"Forget it, these two cars are a bit too flashy. Let's just stick with regular license plates!" Xu Ye shook his head and declined his offer.
These days, the management of military vehicles is not very strict, but non-compliance is non-compliance.
Xu Ye will not violate principles.
Besides, both of those cars are more eye-catching than the other.
The Hummer is alright, but the Ferrari Enzo that Xu Ye is inspecting is just as eye-catching, even if it's 2024, let alone now in 2004.
If they were to put on military license plates, they would be asking for trouble.
This car is limited to 400 units worldwide. If Xu Ye is not mistaken, this should be a customized version, and the price goes without saying.
As for why Saddam Hussein was able to get his hands on this limited-edition Ferrari from last year despite being sanctioned by the United States?
In short, don't pry into other people's business!
"All right!"
The person in charge did not insist any further.
He acted impulsively just now, and regretted it as soon as he said it.
There was no other way; the car cover had already been removed, and once he saw the car in its entirety, he knew it wasn't suitable.
"This car is so luxurious!" Xu Ye patted the car body. "I really don't know what the higher-ups were thinking!"
These items were able to enter the Dragon Kingdom because they had been reported to the relevant authorities there.
Even so, the higher-ups still made him accept it, which made Xu Ye want to complain a bit.
"We just need to abide by the decision made above!"
The person in charge suppressed the urge to complain and said with a smile.
No man could dislike or not want a car like this, but judging from Xu Ye's expression, he seemed a little disgusted.
Little did they know that for Xu Ye, there was no car he couldn't have if he wanted it.
Even if you can't buy it, it's just a matter of spending some Liver Points.
You know, this car is expensive, starting at a million dollars, but the premium is also high!
In the system's shop, all the real-world goods are priced at cost, which is actually not expensive.
Otherwise, those "New Year's gifts" sent out on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which kept many domestic experts from having a proper New Year's celebration as they were hastily taken away from their homes for technical verification, would fetch astronomical prices if sold to China in the real world!
If calculated according to this price, Xu Ye's liver rolls wouldn't be enough.
However, when exchanging the items, it only cost a little over 30,000 Liver Scrolls, and directly obtained something that no one would sell, let alone 30 billion Dragon Yuan, or even 30 billion US dollars.
Don't believe me!
Take Da Mao's "White Swan" for example!
This is arguably the most eye-catching and beautiful strategic bomber. Doesn't China want it?
That's impossible!
It's important to know that even when Xu Ye traveled through time, China's bombers were still being carried out by "Sixth Master".
Although "Sixth Master" has been making improvements over the years, to put it bluntly, there aren't many English letters left for Sixth Master.
In this situation, how could anyone not want it?
However, there are some things that people simply won't sell to you, no matter how much money they offer.
So, even after Xu Ye had time-traveled, and the J-20 and Y-20 were already in existence, the H-20 was still nowhere to be seen. It would be impossible not to feel regret.
If possible, Xu Ye would love to give everything away at once.
But, it's just a thought, and unfortunately, my liver scroll value doesn't allow it, so let's take it one step at a time.
"Sir, I'll have to trouble you to send someone to tow this car back home later."
After experiencing what it's like to "drive" a Ferrari with one hand, Xu Ye got out of the car and said.
Drive it back?
Forget it, it's too conspicuous. I'll just cover it with a car cover and tow it back to my home!
Fortunately, his house is big enough now, and he converted it into an indoor garage back then; otherwise, Xu Ye would be in a real headache right now.
"Why don't you give it a try?"
The person in charge couldn't help but say.
It was late at night, and the airport was quite empty, so it was no problem to test drive the car on the backup runway.
Of course, this only applies to Xu Ye.
If it were someone else, without any mission, anyone who dared to drive recklessly on the track would be put in solitary confinement.
"Forget it, it's too dark. I'd be heartbroken if it got scratched!" Xu Ye refused outright.
He was somewhat tempted, but as he said before, it wasn't in accordance with the rules.
"That's true. If this car gets even slightly scratched, my entire year's salary wouldn't be enough to repair it," the person in charge chimed in.
Before Xu Ye arrived, he did a quick online search: It's fucking expensive!
Moreover, as a soldier, he was more interested in the "rugged" military Hummer than the Ferrari sports car.
He didn't bother to check the car.
Because he doesn't even need to look it up; he practically knows all the relevant parameters by heart.
Although the vehicle had its weapons removed, underwent some modifications, and been repainted.
However, he still recognized at first glance that the vehicle was definitely standard equipment of the U.S. military.
Moreover, I can roughly guess the source.
"Take a drive around?"
Xu Ye opened the Hummer door and handed over the keys.
To be honest, this car is undeniably imposing, but its driving and riding experience is far from pleasant.
After all, this is a vehicle designed for war, and comfort has never been the most important consideration.
"Does it fit?"
The person in charge was somewhat eager to try.
However, Xu Ye has never driven this car before, so it would be a bit inappropriate for me to drive it first, right?
"It's just a car, what difference does it make who drives it?"
As he spoke, Xu Ye shoved the keys into his hand and then walked toward the passenger seat on the other side.
"Alright, I'll try something new too!" The person in charge didn't stand on ceremony and got into the car.
Under Xu Ye's guidance, the Hummer quickly drove out of the warehouse and headed outside.
Seeing this, the soldiers who were distributing supplies looked on with envy—they really wanted to try it!
"Not bad!"
"By the way, it seems that our Dongfeng Mengshi also started road testing last year?"
After taking a walk around the warehouse, the person in charge said with some lingering interest.
