153: Feel incredible

At the same time, Xu Ning had already left the dock. Tanya would take him and Xie Biao to the hotel and then pick them up again in the evening for the banquet. Xu Ning wasn't particularly concerned about this.

His mind was completely occupied by the information he had obtained today. The result of this visit exceeded his expectations; it was truly a surprise!

Besides gaining a detailed understanding of the dock and the destroyers, what excited him most was the frigate in Dock No. 2. Through his conversation with Tanya, he had grasped key information about aircraft carriers, specifically the composition of an entire carrier group.

Only now did he realize how naive his previous idea of just wanting to acquire carrier data was. In reality, the power of an aircraft carrier lies in its formation.

Only when a carrier possesses a complete battle group can it display the strength to destroy small countries. Such a formation requires at least one carrier, two nuclear submarines, four frigates, two destroyers, and one supply ship.

Only a carrier group configured in this way can eliminate the enemy before they get close. This was knowledge he should have learned long ago.

However, in his previous life, he was just an amateur military enthusiast. Although he knew some history and understood the power of aircraft carriers, he wasn't very clear about the specifics of that power.

And in his original memories, although he was a graduate of a prestigious school in Beijing, the lack of information about aircraft carriers in textbooks limited his understanding.

He couldn't be entirely blamed for this, as in this era, so-called Navy construction was still in its initial stages. The mere fact of mounting land cannons on large fishing boats showed the inadequacy of the Navy's strength.

The current Great Xia Navy, while not completely lacking, was indeed stretched thin. Even though relations with Eagle Country were currently friendly, they remained quite cautious about exchanging aircraft carrier technology.

Eagle Country understood that the weaker Great Xia's maritime strength was, the more stable the situation across the strait would be.

After gaining a deeper understanding, Xu Ning's mood became heavy. "Our destroyers, frigates, supply ships, and nuclear submarines, almost every category has gaps." He secretly resolved, "No matter what, I must fill these gaps this time."

Only a fully developed Great Xia could truly display its potential. Xu Ning felt this deeply. Just as they left the base, a dilapidated jeep suddenly sped towards them.

Teacher quickly turned the steering wheel, narrowly avoiding a collision, while the jeep spun out of control and plunged into the ditch beside the road.

"My god, who is this, driving so desperately?" Big Brother said angrily, preparing to get out and find trouble, but Teacher recognized the distinctive white spray paint mark on the jeep, which was their unit's vehicle identifier.

"Wait, that's our unit's car," he said. Hearing this, everyone was startled. Xu Ning immediately ordered, "Teacher and Big Brother, you two go down and see what happened."

For safety, the two went together. As they approached the jeep, they found only one injured and unconscious person inside. Teacher recognized him as a member of Ivanyafu's escort team. "This is bad, Kadeyafu and the others might be in trouble."

Teacher told Big Brother to quickly carry the injured person out, while he ran back to inform Xu Ning. Due to the language barrier, they needed someone who could communicate.

After Xu Ning arrived, he found that Big Brother had already performed initial hemostasis on the injured person's abdomen. Fortunately, the injured person woke up.

Seeing that it was Xu Ning and the others, the injured person visibly relaxed, gasping, "Quick... quickly come help..."

"We... ran into... an ambush..." Xu Ning's voice trembled slightly, but he quickly composed himself, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

He already had the answer in his heart; this must be the work of Grigori's group. At this moment, Tanya, who had gone ahead to scout the path, returned. Xu Ning quickly handed the person over to her to handle, while he called Big Brother and the others, quickly boarded the combat vehicle, and set off at full speed.

While driving, Teacher seemed a little worried.

"Boss, do you really not need to go rescue them yourself? It would be bad if something happened."

Everyone still clearly remembered what had happened before and didn't want Xu Ning to take risks again.

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's no problem this time. You all stay in the car later, and I'll show you what true strength is."

The other three looked at him with confusion all over their faces. Big Brother opened his mouth and asked, "Boss, you're not thinking of having us just drive straight in, are you?"

They had never heard of such a method. This was practically seeking death, not a tactic.

Under normal circumstances, when facing such an encirclement, the Hunter Vulture Squad would park the vehicle far away to avoid exposure. They would quietly approach, observe the situation, find cover, and then plan how to break through.

Then Big Brother would be responsible for drawing fire, aiming to take out the enemy's strongpoints from the side, while the others would provide support and complete the final strike.

Even though Xie Biao was absent due to injury now, the three of them were confident they could resolve the battle without casualties, provided the enemy numbers weren't large.

However, this might delay them and miss the best opportunity to rescue Kadeyafu. But for them, the primary mission was to protect Xu Ning. As for the others, they would do their best to rescue them if there was an opportunity.

However, Xu Ning seemed to intend for them to charge directly into the enemy formation, which made Big Brother and the others feel incredible.

Xu Ning explained, "Who said we're going to charge straight in? Teacher, stop the car first."

Teacher was momentarily stunned but still stopped the car. The three of them looked at Xu Ning simultaneously, waiting for his next instruction.

"All three of you get out and follow me," Xu Ning said, then jumped out of the car first.

The three looked at each other. Although they didn't understand why Xu Ning would make such an arrangement at this critical moment, since it was the Boss's order, they could only obey.

As soon as Xu Ning got out of the car, he quickly walked to the jeep's trunk, flipped it open, and there lay a massive heavy machine gun.

"Quick, help me mount this on the roof," he called out.

The three widened their eyes, looking at this unusual heavy machine gun, speechless for a moment.

"Is this a heavy machine gun with fire control?" one of them tentatively asked.

"That's right, hurry up, time is pressing," Xu Ning urged, explaining, "The operating stick is inside the car; you just need to press it on."

The three exchanged glances. They had never seen a scene like a machine gun mounted on a jeep, let alone one with a fire control system, but at this moment, they couldn't afford to think too much.

In addition, a large ammunition box was carried over, also with a latch design, making it easy to install.

When the three returned to the car, they were surprised to find that Xu Ning was already sitting in the driver's seat, ready to drive himself. Although full of questions, they all tacitly chose to remain silent.

The jeep roared to life, its powerful horsepower surging out, carrying them forward at high speed.

"Do you see anything different about this car?" Xu Ning finally asked.
