Chapter 1027: Singing the Big Drama
handed over his baby daughter to the nanny Miranda who was called, and after the others left, Zhang Nan said: "For a cannon, I have to buy enough second-hand equipment for a mechanized division, and the generals of the Ministry of Defense are estimated to wake up laughing when they fall asleep."
It's a good life, but he wants to be an arms dealer, this person is just born restless!"
Zhang Nan feels more and more like an American, probably in the eyes of those people in Washington: I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic, isn't this the habitual behavior of American bigwigs.
And he's a big guy now, well, can't be wrong.
As for the Chinese, they are traditionally not as restless as the American bigwigs, and the consequence of such a change is that the bigwigs in Washington will probably think that the famous Mr. Allen is already one of them.
Things gather like things, it is unlikely that good people and bad guys will become good friends, Zhang Nan is not a good person in his bones, so it is naturally easy to be classified as the same kind by the bad seeds in Washington.
But here's the thing: bad guys and bad guys don't make good friends!
It's a complicated relationship, to put it bluntly: Zhang Nan is not a good person, he is still a bad seed who hopes that in addition to the place where he lives, the world will be messy!
If the earth is stable and the world is peaceful, how can there be room for the big people to play in the wind and rain?
It's not good to lose your sense of existence, otherwise who will pay attention to you as a big man!
The people in Washington are not roundworms in Zhang Nan's stomach, they may be wrong, Zhang Nan is so restless just to protect himself.
The history of thousands of years of China has taught him a truth: from ancient times to the present, few who are too rich have a good end, and ancient and modern China and foreign countries are the same!
It's not that you don't kill, it's just that the time has not come: when you are fat and fat, when you really want to eat meat, do you choose to kill lean pigs first?
It must be a butcher with a knife who has a brain problem!
I can't use those heavy equipment, both kinds of heavy artillery are the artillery of the group army, or the equipment of the heavy artillery division, if it is used by those black buddies in Africa, they will probably have to be blind!
Don't think about such a heavy artillery Gambian, Zhang Nan didn't think about letting them have any equipment in their hands that could threaten their own forces in The Gambia, you must know that this regiment and a battalion of heavy artillery can be used as a quasi-strategic weapon in southern Africa!
The best-connected Botswana tribal armed forces are actually not very suitable for such equipment, this vast and sparsely populated area, can it compete with South Africa?
There's no need at all.
Zhang Nan felt a slight headache, who sells things?
Is it a "deterrent"?
Thomas was not worried at all, and said with a smile: "We will be second-hand dealers, and military contractors will also do the arms business by the way, and the whole world will be the same."
If we have a relationship with heavy equipment, some African countries will buy it from us, and even if Washington knows about it, it will be invisible, because they themselves often do it through intermediaries.
In the past two years, Africa has begun to be in chaos, and as long as we give weapons to the party that Washington likes, we can get greater benefits in the future, and this is all a chain on the same line. ”
Zhang Nan saw Guan Xingquan sitting on the other side also meant the same thing, so he asked Thomas to operate: other equipment can change hands, and those 152 mm cannons and supporting equipment must all be in their own hands!
The Gambia, which is not big by the sea, is all transported to its own territory in Botswana.
Your own company will not be able to use it in a short time, but there is still a way to find some instructors who can use this kind of heavy artillery, and for the time being, you can recruit from Eastern Europe first, such as Czechoslovakia, they have imported this kind of cannon.
If you wait for another year and a half, there will be no problem in recruiting a group of retired Soviet artillery officers: 8,000 rounds of artillery shells are enough to train a batch of artillery that can be used by black buddies, and the annual cost is actually not much, and it is enough to eat.
Thanks to this Tswa tradition, which has always attached more importance to education, it is no problem to find dozens of hundreds of tribal militias with high school math proficiency, otherwise in a more backward place, give those black buddies such heavy firepower, then it can only be used as direct-aim artillery.
If you don't know how to calculate, then don't play with the stretched artillery!
At this point, Zhang Nan said to Thomas: "When the time comes, we will probably see how much life those cannons still have, and the shells will be bought according to the number of scrapped barrel life." ”
Thomas nodded, "As long as it's cheap, it doesn't matter if you buy more."
However, when this cannon is nearing the end of its useful life, it has to be thrown for fear of exploding..."
Shells and bullets have a storage life, and Huaxia regulations generally set it for 20 years, after which they must be scrapped.
20 years, this is the reason for the big business, but in fact, the implementation is not particularly strict, for example, in the future, it is common to use bullets that have been out of the factory for thirty or forty years.
As for abroad, such as Iraq and Afghanistan more than twenty years later, it is quite common to fight with Soviet-made ammunition produced in the fifties and sixties, and there are not many bombs, and those ammunition can be stored for more than half a century!
If you have an AKM or Type 56 in your hand, it would be a happy thing that you can use the bullets produced in China or the Soviet Union in the 80s or soviet, and you are in your 30s.
But for the sake of safety, it's better not to be more than 30 years.
The shells of the Soviet-made 152-mm cannons seized from the Iraqis were all new products produced in the past eight years, and it would be no problem to use them for another ten or twenty years.
If there is no war, this artillery training will not use many shells for a year, and it is enough to prepare a reserve of five or six hundred rounds for each gun: they are all second-hand goods, not new guns with a full life.
On Sunday Thomas went to Washington-Dhon, and the negotiations went well, and he was willing to sell and buy, and the logistics department of the "United Forces" began to operate at full speed, and both sides cooperated with each other for the sake of money and profit.
The personnel who went to select and contact the equipment in advance arrived in Kuwait soon, and the feedback was that the quality of the equipment was okay and enough suitable goods could be selected.
The personnel left behind by the U.S. military are anxious to go home for reunion, and take the initiative to let the contact person pick more, and many equipment that lacks parts and needs to be repaired are actively asked for free gifts!
It's better to take them all away, so they don't have to eat dirt in the desert anymore: everything that needs to be guarded is gone, and the guards can go home as a matter of course.
It's summer, and the Bay Area isn't a place to be!
In the end, the rocket artillery still didn't ask: where to buy it?
Useless!
Botswana is still a landlocked country, and the officials there have to come forward to negotiate with neighboring countries on the issue of rail transportation.
It is possible to transport artillery by air, but if tens of thousands of shells and almost astronomical bullets are transported by air, the cost is a headache!
If the ammunition that was finally bought at the price of cabbage goes from the sky, it will definitely be more expensive than the price of meat!
This is a big play, a big show sung to Washington.
