Chapter 119: Armed Pickup

(The third update is over!) )

In order to welcome the surprise visit of Crown Prince Albert, the Congolese authorities sent a whole army of heavily armed paramilitary operatives to be stationed near the airport, which was originally carried out by the reserve forces stationed in the Congo, but the performance of the troops in the previous days of the riot was really unsatisfactory, and a group of soldiers with loaded guns were simply beaten and chased by. Compared with the ruthless style of those private military operatives, it would be better for the Congolese governor, Henri Ben Badis, to put Albert's men in charge of the crown prince's security.

After all, it can be regarded as a disguised pat on the back of the crown prince, and if something happens at that time, Governor Henry Ben Badis can also get away with it.

Congo's tropical rainforest climate has abundant rain throughout the year, either in the heat of the sun or in the humid and muggy heat after the rain. Fortunately, the soldiers with baseball caps were used to this kind of weather, and they were used to sweating on hot days.

Albert stepped off the plane, the sunlight was a little harsh, and he hadn't yet adjusted to the light outside the cabin. When he could see clearly, he saw five heavily armed Wrangler jeeps parked on the side of the road, and the soldiers on top of the jeeps kept looking around to assess the situation. The bearded Governor, who was wearing a suit and leather shoes and wiping sweat, and Adam Wainwright, the head of branch security with a slightly weak temperament, were respectfully standing in front of the car door to greet them.

"Welcome, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Governor Henry stepped forward to shake Albert's hand with a big grin, and his gesture made Albert frown slightly. Albert was not a man with a strong sense of dignity and inferiority, but the Governor's actions were clearly out of order.

Is it true that the authorities and governments of the colonies are all? Thinking about the history of independence of the United States and South Africa, Albert wondered if the most powerful official in the colony was also playing something in his heart.

Compared to Adam Wainwright, Albert's appetite is more like a professor who studies literature than a mercenary who is accustomed to seeing blood.

This guy is said to have been discovered by Barlow himself, who once worked as a spy for German intelligence agencies, and is proficient in a variety of weapons and close-quarters combat. And this guy has a strategic mind and economic acumen that ordinary military personnel can hardly match. This is why the Belgian Strategic Resources Cooperative branch has not only not collapsed, but has a tendency to grow in the Congo.

"Hello, Your Highness Albert." Seeing that Albert was about to stretch out his hand to shake his hand, Adam Wainwright stretched out his right hand without hurry, everything seemed so natural, compared to Henry, Albert felt that this guy who was soft on the outside and ruthless on the inside was suitable to be the governor of the Congo.

"Let's talk while we get in the car." After a brief pleasantries, Adam Wainwright beckoned him to get into the car. Although the news was sealed off before the crown prince arrived in the colony, there was no guarantee that a sniper rifle would be aimed at Albert's head in the vicinity.

Adam, who was in charge of Albert's safety throughout the whole process, breathed a sigh of relief after getting into the car, and now he was safe for the time being. From now on, Adam was walking on thin ice every step he took, fearing that something would happen to Albert.

However, Albert didn't seem to care much, after all, he had the protective device given to him by the Eye of Heaven, and even if the other party used the anti-weapon Barrett and RPG to come over, he would be unscathed.

The car drove towards Albert's mansion, and along the way, except for the police car in front of him, armed Wranglers belonging to private military contractors tightly surrounded the sides of his car, but to Albert's refreshment, he actually saw an armed pickup truck loaded with a general-purpose machine gun, on which stood the military members of his company.

Albert only felt that his eyes were bright, although there were still some differences between the pickup trucks of this year and later generations, but now he can think of using pickup trucks to convert them into military vehicles, this thinking is too advanced. You must know that the first large-scale involvement of Toyota pickup trucks in the war was in 1987 in Chad and Libya Gaddafika Dazo!

"Who came up with the idea of using a pickup truck as an armed vehicle?" Albert asked emotionally, taking Adam's hand.

Governor Henry and Adam were apparently taken aback by Albert's inexplicable agitation, while Victor, who was sitting in the passenger seat, shrugged indifferently, indicating that he was used to it.

"This is what I came up with, what's wrong Your Highness Albert." Adam asked nervously, thinking that the crown prince was not happy that he had replaced the Wrangler Jeep with a pickup truck.

"You're such a genius! Tell me how you came up with it. Albert wanted to kiss him.

This time Adam was a little embarrassed, and he honestly explained, "Actually, His Royal Highness Albert only gave four Wrangler Jeeps to the Congo at the beginning, and I think this level of equipment is far from enough. That's why I thought of using a pickup truck to convert it into an armed vehicle and replenish the vehicle. ”

Albert didn't expect the appearance of an armed pickup truck to be such an unexpected situation, at this time he thought of going back and letting Porsche develop a four-seater car like a Toyota pickup, and the trunk can be freely equipped with a general-purpose machine gun, a recoilless gun and even a Vulcan system cannon. Pickup trucks can not only be mixed in the civilian market, but also seize the low-end market of military vehicles.

Because this kind of pickup was originally equipped for the first silk armed group to fight guerrilla warfare, the purpose is to match its mobility, when the Chadian armed pickup truck against the T55 tank of Kadazo, he used Milan anti-tank missiles to return Kadazo's armored troops to Libya.

However, after all, the pickup truck is just a "Zero fighter idea," giving up defense in exchange for mobility, and its weak armor can only bully the stupid hanging troops like Kadazo. When you meet a rich and handsome army, you will directly get a howitzer and tank machine gun to strafe you, and the local tyrant level will come to a land and air coordinated operation, and the fighter will give you a big bomb baptism, how can there be so many things like Kadazuo.

But in the vast continent of Africa, pickup trucks are their only choice, after all, the price of a tank can buy dozens of pickup trucks.

"Adam, you've done me a great favor." Albert said excitedly.

"Uh...... It is an honour to be able to help His Highness Albert. "Adam, who was confused, didn't know, so why did he make His Highness inexplicably happy.

Victor, who was on the side, said with a smile, "Don't pay attention to our boss, he's like that, he gets inexplicably excited when he thinks of a new idea, just get used to it." ”

At this time, Albert had already figured out several sets of plans in his heart, what pickup truck is equipped with a general-purpose machine gun ordinary version, pickup truck is equipped with an upgraded version of 107 rocket launcher, and other strange combinations learned from the Middle East battlefield, and vowed to absolutely squeeze out the last bit of residual value of the black silk.

Just as Albert was immersed in the design of the pickup truck, a violent explosion brought Albert back to reality. For the first time, he saw a panicked look on Adam's face, which had always been calm.

"There's an ambush!" The military personnel of the previous car shouted through the walkie-talkie.
