The FAST tactical helmet should be a kind of helmet with a relatively high appearance that Joga has ever seen.

This thing is equipped with a tactical rail, which is not only convenient for installing night vision devices, but also equipped with distress lights, IR reflective stickers, and the light of the latter two is only visible under low-light night vision devices, which is very suitable for identifying friend and foe at night.

Of course, these are just the basic functions, and what Joga likes the most is the pickup headphones.

This thing looks like a big pair of headphones, but when you put it on, you will find that the protection function of this pair of headphones is very intimate.

It filters out most of the harsh noise, while also not allowing the user to miss the subtle sounds around them, and the unique pickup system can even give the illusion that your own hearing is rising.

The headset is equipped with a microphone that can be connected directly to the communication system and used as a team communication.

This is the most practical helmet set Joga has ever seen, and if it weren't for the effect of the real thing at the Tunisian defense exhibition, he would never believe that such a large pair of headphones not only has no effect on hearing, but can make people perform more acutely in complex environments.

Distributing the new gadgets to a few people present, Qiao Jia said with a smile: "Let's go around tomorrow and familiarize ourselves with the nearby terrain and environment first."

Those mercenaries aren't everything, and we'll have to give them a little time to get used to. ”

Saying that, Qiao Jia glanced at Ayu, who was focused, and said with a smile: "Actually, I want to give myself a little time, the dragon lizard has always described the jungle battle as very terrifying, of course I trust his judgment, so I set myself a 15-day adaptation time."

Ayu, of course you're fine if you want to act with me, but you have to think of a code name for yourself first. ”

Ayu stood up without hesitation and said, "'King Kong', those white people call me that. ”

Qiao Jia looked at Ayu and pursed the corners of his mouth, naturally forming a majestic arc, he nodded and said, "Okay, then 'King Kong'."

We'll gather tomorrow morning, go to the training ground to get used to it, and then in two days Kaman will take us around the jungle. ”

…………

The rainy season in Africa is over, and the climate on the border between Central Africa and Congo is very pleasant.

The temperature is right, the air is fresh, and it is a good place to live except for being too poor.

I got up in the morning and went to the training ground to run a few laps, and watched a group of mercenaries from all over the world, as well as those veterans who had been accumulating their strength to get back in shape, and after running five kilometers, they hurried to the direction of the cafeteria.

Qiao Jia curiously followed the flow of people to the cafeteria, and before he reached the place, he smelled a familiar smell.

There are two huge stainless steel cauldrons under the porches on both sides of the canteen door, and the old cow and his little brother Tony stand next to a large cauldron, and with the urging of several old men, this guy proudly lifted the lid of the pot, and then a very exciting fragrance came out.

Qiao Jia heard the old cow in front of him scolding proudly, he curiously squeezed to the front to take a look, and then found that the stainless steel cauldron was full of thick beef offal soup.

I don't know what the secret recipe of the old cow is, but the smell of white pepper is very exciting, and people can't help but have an appetite.

The oldest old man in the room, Cobra, took his rice bowl and loudly urged the old cow to fill himself with a large bowl, and then Tony took two pieces of dead dough cakes with a diameter of at least 20 centimeters and a thickness of half an inch, and then pointed to another cauldron next to him and said, "Open it quickly, and give me some vigorous ......."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Joga thinks that Tony's silly boy seems to have become a little smarter.

At the urging of the 'Cobra', the fellow laughed and saluted, and then shouted loudly, "Yes, sir!" ”

As Tony unveiled another cauldron, a domineering aroma almost overshadowed the aroma of the offal soup.

It's also a pot of offal, but it also contains hoof tendons, big bones, and the most classic bullwhip.

Down-to-earth picked up a pair of large scissors, dismembered the bullwhip into pieces amid the laughter of the people around him, and filled it into the dough that Cobra had torn up himself.

Some of them will hold the lid of the lunch box to hold the braised beef offal, and when Tony serves them, these guys always squeeze their eyebrows and signal him to give themselves more vigorous parts.

The old cow was so proud that he filled his friend Sanderson with a large bowl of offal soup, and then motioned to Tony to let him take care of his uncle.

Then Lao Niu looked at Qiao Jia proudly, and said in Chinese: "These foreigners were not happy to eat offal every day at first, they were all guys who had never seen the world, so I popularized the concept of what to eat and what to make up for them a little, and these guys took it, and they ate happily every day." ”

Qiao Jia glanced at the inside of the cafeteria, where several sleepy-eyed black buddies were sending two dismantled beef into the back kitchen.

Thinking about his base, which has less than a hundred people, actually eating two cows a day, and a lot of vegetables that are not cheaper than beef, Qiao Jia feels a little painful.

They are all guys who cross the mountains and rivers to help you fight the country, and they are all soldiers who want to fight hard with guns, and they can't be treated badly in eating and drinking.

Beef in Central Africa is not expensive, it only costs $350 to buy a live cow, and if you buy more at once, the price can be discussed.

However, in addition to onions, tomatoes, and potatoes, other vegetables such as lettuce, cucumbers, and carrots are not cheap.

No matter how rich Qiao Jia is, in the face of an expenditure of about 1,000 yuan a day, he can't help but feel empty.

There are only less than 100 people, and according to Karman's idea, there will be at least 400~500 people here in the future, and then you may have to eat four or five thousand a day just for dinner.

He was really glad that he had left the old cow behind, this cook could not only cook, but also be able to use all the parts of the food, saving the cost of the base to the greatest extent.

If it weren't for him, the cost of food at the base would probably have doubled.

In fact, Qiao Jia is a little underestimating the old cow, this guy has worked in the army's cooking class for 12 years, and he knows how to ensure nutrition control costs.

The cost of food at $10 per person per day is definitely high in a country with a GDP per capita of only 200.

When the number of people increases, the variety of food is enriched, and the purchase of ingredients increases, Lao Niu can control the per capita daily eating and drinking at about 5 yuan, and can also make everyone eat happily.

patted Lao Niu's shoulder hard, Qiao Jia said with a smile: "I'm counting on you, the food can't be too bad, of course you can save as much as possible, but you have to spend the money you should spend."

After breakfast, we went to Benjasu together, and their defense minister promised me to provide some food supplies, and now I don't even see Mao, where is this? ”

When Lao Niu heard this, he shook his head and said: "Don't mention the garrison of Benjasu, their life is so miserable that I can't bear to look at it, hundreds of people are cassava leaves all day long, and they rely on collecting some tolls to make a living, counting on them to provide food, then we will starve to death." ”

Qiao Jia listened, gave way to the side, made it easier for Lao Niu to work, and then said curiously: "Is it so bad?" The soldiers can't get enough to eat, how can those politicians survive in peace? ”

Lao Niu shrugged his shoulders, shook his head and said, "I don't know, but when I drove to the farm villages near Bengasu recently, I saw several waves of rebels or opposition forces.

I don't understand, anyway, if the soldier really can't eat, then he can only fall into the grass? This is how it was played on the Water Margin. ”

Qiao Jia was taken aback when he heard this, and said a little incredulously: "You said that there are not only drug dealers nearby, but also rebel forces?" ”

Lao Niu nodded while serving a big bowl of beef offal soup to a guy and said: "I don't know the specifics, but I heard Xiao Hei, a canteen helper, say that there are not many places that the garrison and peacekeeping forces in Benjiasu can take care of, so there are opposition forces a few kilometers out of the city."

I've heard that those opposition parties are also okay, living on collecting some 'protection money', and when drug dealers go to those towns and villages to harass them, they are really good!

However, if the opposition forces are too far away from the towns and villages and lack the support of their positions, their firepower will not be a match for drug traffickers at all. ”

Saying that Lao Niu may have thought of something, he said a little uncomfortably: "According to me, those opposition parties were actually forced out, and there is no hope for this life, isn't it a troubled time?" ”

Qiao Jia had done his homework before coming to Central Africa, and the 'chaos' in this ghost place in Central Africa was not formed in one or two years.

Chaos, greed, selfishness, ignorance, these derivatives of poverty have made the political ecology of this region extremely bad, and the lives of ordinary people have naturally tasted of misery.

The township where Xiao Hei, who helps in the cafeteria, may be under the protection of the opposition forces.

Compared with drug dealers, those opposition at least know how to win people's hearts and minds, and will not cling to the wool of a sheep to the death, after all, the 'sheep' can also go to the streets to help them grow their momentum at critical times.

It really has nothing to do with Joga, but if there are not only drug dealer camps in the jungle, but also camp for opposition forces, then his workload will increase in the future.

Indiscriminate killings are certainly not good, as Carman said, 'Temperance, purpose, and human violence can last'.

And the most important thing is that the killing is too ruthless, and the UN peacekeeping forces will not sit idly by.

As a propertied person, a big man in the future, it is a basic principle not to have a principled conflict with such a top official.

When most of the people finished breakfast, Qiao Jia took the beef noodles that Lao Niu 'specially offered', poured a large portion of braised beef offal, and agreed with him to drive to Bangasu to have a look after breakfast, and then entered the restaurant in a happy mood.

As a result, he was only halfway through his meal, when he saw Sanderson, a Ranger from a background, and four strong men with diamonds, and the veterans of the jungle recruited by Carman.

The 'hemostat' with a big scar on his face jumped on the table for fear of the world, took off his coat and wore only a bandeau bra, and jumped and screamed at those veterans like a cheerleader.

Qiao Jia swept away the soldiers who were gradually becoming frenzied around him, he looked at Kaman, who seemed to be accustomed to it, and asked curiously, "What is this for?" ”
