When he arrived at King Fahd's military city, Wang Dong learned that only five companies participated in the bidding, and Italy's Beretta company took the initiative to withdraw. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Obviously, this is a smart move.

Beretta's backer is the Italian mafia, even if there are many personnel, it is only a local snake, and it is okay to be the king and hegemon in Italy, but it is obviously not qualified to go to the battlefield.

Of course, none of the godfathers of the mafia are stupid, and it is normal to opt out after weighing the gains and losses.

The other four companies, FN, H&K, Barrett and Kalashnikov, sent troops, and all mercenaries.

The method of bidding has also been announced by the Saudi Ministry of Defense.

Five companies, each with a team of 30 people, accompanied by a 10-member squad of Saudi special forces, went to Yemen to carry out a free hunt mission.

At the end of the half-month operation, the outcome of the hunt is decided.

Of course, only the respective armament can be used.

To put it simply, Saudi special forces are only responsible for supervising and ensuring that the teams sent by each company use their own weapons and scoring their performance in actual combat.

To make it easier to judge, the Saudi Defense Ministry has published a list of Houthi members.

There are more than 1,000 people, all senior Houthi commanders, and each has a corresponding point according to their position and power in the organization.

Kill these people and you will get the corresponding points.

During the operation, the Saudi Ministry of Defense will provide intelligence support to all teams and arrange for helicopters to pick them up after the operation.

Of course, teams can also use information obtained from other sources.

In the end, the winner is determined by the points and the scores of the accompanying special forces, which account for eighty percent, and the special forces score two percent on the reliability of weapons.

It seems to be very fair, but there is a mystery hidden in it.

For example, is the intelligence provided by the Saudi Ministry of Defense exactly the same?

In addition, powerful large companies will definitely be able to obtain more information from other sources.

In Wang Dong's view, the biggest problem is the restriction of ammunition.

Because the other four companies joined forces to protest and take the matter to King Salman, even if Mohammed was reluctant, he had no choice but to accept the king's arrangement, explicitly requiring all bidding teams to use only five standard caliber ammunition from NATO and Russia.

These are, 7.62mm NATO, 5.56mm, 7.62mmM43, 5.45mmM74 and 7.62mmR.

In addition, any team must and cannot use a maximum of two calibres of ammunition.

However, there are no restrictions on the types of bullets.

To put it simply, it only requires a unified caliber, not the use of the specified guns, and there is no way to unify the guns and bullets with so many calibers.

Making a fuss about guns, bullets, and propellants, to be precise, has become a common choice for all companies.

In addition, the Saudi Ministry of Defense has imposed strict restrictions on the types of firearms.

Each team can only carry a maximum of six chain-fed automatic firearms, while the rest can only be fed by magazines, and can carry an additional six bolt-action guns.

In terms of support weapons, each team can be equipped with up to 12 gun-mounted grenade launchers, and there is no limit to the type of grenades.

In principle, each team can carry a maximum of six primary rocket launchers, with a caliber of no more than 120 mm, and there is no restriction on the type of rocket.

As for combat equipment such as body armor, sights, and binoculars, there are no restrictions.

In addition, there are no restrictions on secondary weapons such as pistols and daggers.

The Saudi Ministry of Defense also does not limit the amount of ammunition it can carry, but explicitly mentions that it is not allowed to use specialized delivery vehicles.

In other words, the personnel involved in the operation can bring as much as they can, but they have to rely on their shoulders to resist.

Obviously, the strongest special forces can't bring much supplies, not to mention that in addition to ammunition, they also have to carry food, water and other survival materials.

In this regard, the Saudi Ministry of Defense also gave clear assurances.

This means that, during the fifteen-day operation period, each unit can apply for two airdrops, each airdropping one base number of ammunition and seven days' provisions.

As for when the airdrop will take place, it is up to each team to decide.

Finally, and most crucially, the Saudi authorities are not responsible for any casualties, and those involved in the operation must sign a pledge.

After all the teams arrived at the King Fahd military city, the Saudi Ministry of Defense held a plenary meeting.

Obviously, there is one more key issue that remains unresolved.

This is the area of action of each team.

In fact, this is also the issue of the greatest disagreement.

In principle, the Saudi Defense Ministry wants all teams to operate in the northwestern region of Yemen, which is closest to the King Fahd military city, the main gathering place of the Houthis and the main contention area for both sides of the Yemeni civil war, where most of the people on the list are located.

The question is, can this area accommodate five special forces of 40 men each?

Also, how can you avoid clashes between teams during operations?

The opinion of the Saudi Ministry of Defense is that the area of activity is determined by drawing lots, and the scope of activity is strictly limited, and activities can only be carried out in the designated area.

All five companies objected to this.

Quite simply, the luck component is too heavy.

Besides, the people involved in the operation signed a pledge, and life or death has nothing to do with the Saudi authorities.

After negotiations, the Saudi Defense Ministry finally made a concession, promising not to impose restrictions on the scope of activities, but only to clarify the entry location of the five teams.

Subsequently, Mohammed said that each of the personnel involved in the operation would be provided with an accident insurance worth 10 million euros.

Returning to Saudi Arabia safely, naturally there is no need to say anything.

In the event of injuries sustained in action, as well as in action, compensation will be paid, up to a maximum of 10 million euros.

As for the actions of the teams during the operation, the Saudi authorities do not impose any restrictions, but only hope that all parties will abide by the rules set.

What rules?

Are there any other rules besides restrictions on weapons and equipment?

After that, the Saudi Ministry of Defense gave five days.

Five days isn't much, but it's enough.

Zhao Yu made fifty DF66 rifles, all of which were 7.62 mm caliber.

Six of them are chain-fed and equipped with bipods, making them veritable general-purpose machine guns that can be used as heavy machine guns on a temporary basis if they have a tripod.

Twelve are equipped with specially produced high-precision heavy barrels, which can be used as tactical sniper rifles.

In addition, 30 bolt and barrel kits for firing M43 rounds are available, and the replacement can be completed in just a few minutes.

The gun-mounted grenade launcher is the prescribed twelve, 40 mm caliber, using standard grenades.

Supporting weapons and equipment, such as body armor, sights, combat pistols, multi-functional daggers, and individual communication equipment, are readily available.

Actually, the key is 100,000 rounds of 7.62mm NATO bullets.

Before going to the Philippines, Wang Dong contacted Zhao Yu to design and produce a 7.62mm NATO gun cartridge with 6.6mm gun technology.

Zhao Yu did not disappoint Wang Dong, but even he was not too sure about the performance of this kind of gun.
