Chapter 510 - 510 506 Cola and Coffee
510: Chapter 506: Cola and Coffee 510: Chapter 506: Cola and Coffee It took a good amount of time to get the parachutes down from the trees, but without aerial reconnaissance and no one to disturb them, it was only a bit of a hassle and posed no trouble.
The red parachutes were taken down first.
In total, there were four parachutes with eight boxes, each box containing ten directional anti-infantry mines.
After the boxes were gathered and placed in the clearing, Nate opened one of them, looked inside briefly, and said gravely, “All are with pull and friction fuses, eighty in total, which might be too many.
Do you want to transport some to the temporary camp?”
Gao Yang nodded, “Yes, setting up some directional mines would definitely be safer, but we’re short on people to transport stuff.”
Nate shrugged, “We still have a long time before anyone shows up to die.
So, I can assign half of our manpower to help you deliver.
Hmm, I’ll give you twenty directional mines, which should be enough to circle your camp for a week.”
Just then, Lee Jin who had stayed behind ran over and reported to Gao, “The tents have been brought down, and they’re not unpacked yet.
I checked, and there are two large tents along with more than twenty smaller ones, definitely enough.
But it will take a lot of people to transport the two large ones.
Also, there are field rations.
We’ve prepared enough for ten days for our people — it will take several trips to transport them all.”
Gao waved his hand, “The people from the Angel Mercenary Group will help us transport them.
Send one large tent over first, and if it’s not possible, we’ll gradually move the rest later.
Let’s get the wounded settled first.”
While Gao and Lee Jin were talking, Nate also said over the radio, “Send two men from each fire point to collect the directional mines and food supplies.
Also, allocate fifteen men to help the Satan Mercenary Group transport supplies to the temporary camp.
Fellas, our guests won’t be arriving for a long while, so you’ve got plenty of time to hide those mines well.”
The intelligence was so precise that at this moment, Gao truly felt no pressure.
Even if a scout plane was to fly over, someone would notify them.
This was an exceedingly easy battle.
Neither Gao nor Nate dared to claim they could eliminate all the attackers, but to be surrounded in this situation would require a miracle.
In this battle, they were already in an invincible position.
When the members of the Angel Mercenary Group came to collect the directional mines, they were all laughing and extremely delighted.
No wonder, for infantry fighting in the jungle, mines and directional mines were the last things they wanted to encounter but the most helpful tools they wished to use.
Especially the directional mines.
These could be triggered by the enemy or controlled by themselves, truly a divine weapon for ambushing and severely weakening the opponent’s morale and combat effectiveness.
Besides the popularity of directional mines, having field rations was also a reason for joy.
Although all field rations were difficult to eat and almost no one would choose to eat them voluntarily, having food in hand meant peace of mind.
When waging guerilla warfare, carrying enough food for several days at least ensured they wouldn’t go hungry.
Gao, being a wounded man, had the luxury of slacking off to the side.
While the field rations and functional beverages were continuously brought down from the trees and the items were being assembled in one place, two soldiers from the Angel Mercenary Corps were carrying a firmly taped foam box.
After placing it on the ground, one of them immediately pulled out a combat knife and quickly opened the foam box.
Gao thought the foam box contained compressed biscuits or something similar.
However, when the box was opened, it revealed icy crushed ice.
Gao walked over, pushed aside the crushed ice, and indeed, beneath it were plastic bottles full of cola.
Delighted, Gao grabbed a bottle of cola and tossed it to Nate, then took one for himself and said to a soldier beside him, “Help me out.”
After twisting open the cap, Gao Yang tilted his head back and guzzled half a bottle of chilled cola, then took a long breath out and contentedly said, “Ah, refreshing, comfortable, F**k, how long has it been since I’ve had cola?
I’m moved to tears.”
Nate, holding the cola that Gao Yang had tossed to him, hadn’t opened it yet.
Instead, he frowned and said, “You’re wasting precious air-drop resources just for a box of cola?”
After downing the remaining half bottle of cola, Gao Yang grabbed another one and addressed the bewildered crowd around him, “What are you all staring at?
Drink up.”
After someone nearby helped him open another cola, Gao Yang then said to Nate, “Don’t get agitated.
Our logistics are pretty impressive.
Don’t look like that.
I forgot you have diabetes.
No worries, you just didn’t bring coffee, right?
I’ll have someone send it over to you.”
Nate’s biggest pleasure was to drink a cup of heavily sugared coffee every day, but this operation came about so suddenly that he hadn’t brought any coffee or the stuff to make it.
Upon hearing Gao Yang’s words, Nate quickly put on a smile and said, “Thank you, thank you very much.
Just don’t forget the stuff to brew the coffee, and in Colombia, it should be Colombian specialty coffee.
Also, don’t forget to have your logistics officer send more sugar cubes.
And by the way, I don’t have diabetes.
I’m just restricted from consuming too much sugar.”
Gao Yang shrugged, finished his second bottle of cola, and, satisfied, belched.
He then took out his phone and called Uriyangko, “Hey, buddy, is the stuff for the second air-drop ready?”
Uriyangko’s voice sounded hurried, “Not yet, but it will be soon.
Please do not worry; I’m speeding things up as much as I can.”
“Oh, no worries, I’m not rushing you.
I just wanted to tell you if the plane hasn’t taken off yet, to send over a coffee brewing set.
Of course, it must have coffee, Colombian, the very best, and yes, send plenty of sugar cubes.”
“Coffee?
F**k, Ram, are you fighting a war or on vacation?
Alright, alright, I will send it over to you.
The plane for this air-drop is about to take off.
So, next time then, I’ll send it along with the anti-aircraft missiles.”
After hanging up the phone, Gao Yang smiled at Nate, “Problem solved, but the upcoming air-drop is too soon.
Remember to pick up your coffee next time.”
Nate hadn’t even smiled when he received the thirty million US dollar commission, but now knowing he could have coffee, he was truly happy.
While everyone else was busy, they all stopped to drink a bottle of cola.
Although the altitude was quite high, the humidity wasn’t extreme, nor was it particularly stuffy, but it was still very hot once the sun came out.
Drinking a bottle of chilled cola in the hot weather was a temptation no one could resist, except for Nate.
After finishing the colas, the people set off to deliver supplies to the temporary camp, while Gao Yang stayed behind.
Knowing the enemy wouldn’t attack yet, he didn’t need to hurry off.
