The Rogner Tirana Hotel, just off the main boulevard in the city center, is in decent condition and facilities, at least to make foreigners feel that it is a high-end hotel, which is not easy to do in this underdeveloped country that is not even a developing country.

The location is good enough for the average traveler to walk to the main attractions in the vicinity without having to take a car, although there isn't much to see in the city other than the Is-Lan style buildings and the many monuments like telephone poles.

Vasily and Leonid's room is on the second floor, it will be early spring, there are not many foreigners coming to Tirana, and the hotel room is very spacious, one room per person.

The two balconies are connected together, and the garden is below, and if you jump over the balcony fence, unless you are too unlucky, the grass below will not break your legs.

The agent lives in a hotel and doesn't like to stay too high, which is the same reason that it is better to retreat if the floor is low in case of an earthquake.

After settling in, Vasily habitually walked downstairs, as a curious guest would do if he was staying at this nice hotel for the first time.

The garden is nice, full of retreat routes, a rectangular six-storey main building built in the 70s, the architecture of the house is very oriental, similar everywhere in Moscow and in the capital of China, and even in eastern Germany.

Back in the room, Leonid had already checked both rooms and found nothing wrong.

Vasily spoke of the information he had gotten from wandering around, when there was a knock on the door, followed by the sound of Gilardino calling for the door.

If you are doing a dangerous business, your nerves will be tight, and you have to identify yourself in advance in front of your own people to avoid misunderstandings.

As soon as the man came in and sat down on the sofa chair, the Italian arms dealer said: "I have contacted you, and the commander of the arsenal has agreed to let us go again, but it is better to buy some, otherwise they will be unhappy." ”

Not everything can be solved by phone, you have to come to the door in person to show your sincerity.

Vasily handed the other party a glass of water and said, "This is no problem, do you have a warehouse?"

Even if our boss doesn't want it, it doesn't matter if you buy something to play. ”

"Yes, there are a lot of warehouses that can be rented and purchased here, and it doesn't cost a lot of money to hire honest janitors.

If you want, you can rent one next door to the warehouse I rented, it's very cheap. ”

Gilardino is an arms dealer, he is so generous, don't do business on his own in the future?

Do it yourself, sometimes it's better to follow others.

A few hours ago, Vasily asked him the question "no one wants arms", and the answer was: not that no one wants them, but that no one wants to spend money on them, and no one wants to buy too much.

The whole of Eastern Europe is in the midst of arms sales, as well as the original republics of the collapsed Soviet Union, such as Ukraine and Belarus, where relatively advanced weapons and equipment can be purchased.

As for Albania, its military equipment is basically free aid from China 78 years ago, and its quality is absolutely first-class, but apart from submarines, airplanes, and large surface-to-air missiles, there are not many particularly high-tech varieties compared with Soviet goods.

Similar equipment is everywhere in Eastern Europe, and it is not very popular either: Germany is selling Soviet-style tanks in a big way, what else can't be bought?

The big arms dealers pay attention to the profit ratio in doing business, and they are generally interested in the conventional arms that can be bought everywhere at present, and now the international market is quite peaceful except for a few areas.

African buddies want to and treat Soviet-made equipment as a treasure, but they don't have money!

The arms giants want weapons with high profit ratios, such as portable surface-to-air missiles and individual anti-tank missiles, and the profit ratio of disposable anti-tank rocket launchers in cash is also good.

There is another problem that few people will think of, the largest importer of ordinary equipment such as firearms and ammunition produced in Eastern Europe is actually the United States, and the background of many arms dealers is actually the US government!

Every year, the United States imports a large number of Soviet-style ammunition for ordinary people to buy, and the number of Soviet-style firearms and ammunition resold to foreign partners by official agents in the United States is even larger!

Proxy wars, there have been fewer in recent years, but there are still agents.

Those partners often use Soviet-style weapons in their hands, and the copper-shelled ammunition produced in the United States is not only expensive, so it is better to buy it, and politically it is better not to have American products.

For those who want to sell arms, there is one more big problem: the United States has banned the import of Chinese-made weapons and equipment since several years ago!

Not to mention importing directly from China, as long as it is produced in China, it is forbidden to import, even if you get it from the southern hemisphere!

At this time, no one wants Albania's stockpile of arms, and almost all of the weapons and ammunition in their stockpile are made in China.

Without the United States, the importer behind the scenes, no larger arms dealer would come to Albania, at most a peddler like Gilardino would have done a little bit of it.

Speaking of arms dealers, Gilardino is actually a poor man in the arms dealer industry, probably on the same level as those black buddies who sell black guns in New York, and even wholesalers are not very good, at most they are a retailer to buy.

In Tirana, he rented a small villa and was reluctant to buy it, nor was he willing to live in a high-end hotel.

Renting a villa is cheaper than staying in a hotel.

The trip was an intermediary for $100,000, and just a few hours earlier, Vasily had told him that he was interested in the contents of the Albanian arsenal and wanted to see them.

If the negotiation is successful, according to the total amount, Vasily will pay him an intermediary remuneration of no less than 5 points, up to a maximum of 10 points, and the larger the amount, the smaller the proportion of the remuneration.

If all goes well, the company behind Vasily could make him an import agent in Albania and the Yugoslavia region next door.

Of course, that wasn't the way to get paid back then.

This made Gilardino feel that it was not God that his old man had finally favored him!

Who does Vasily represent?

Although Gilardino only knew that the other party was Mr. Fabio Cannavaro, he was behind the "United Forces", and he still knew this.

Each arms business has its own territory, and crossing the line will kill people.

Once a small arms dealer has a big backer and becomes an agent, this is the beginning of making a fortune, otherwise he can only be a food and clothing level forever, and he has to worry about whether he will be robbed of the territory!

This will be the afternoon, and the inspection time will be tomorrow morning, so there is no hurry.

Gilardino also had a new bag in his car, and the three of them took the car together to test the gun in the suburbs.

Almost all of them are brand new, two 56-1s, looking at the rifling, may have fired less than 100 rounds, and the Type 67 pistol and Model 64 submachine gun are the same situation, and the bullets are all special Type 64 silencers.

Gilardino told Vasily the two: there are few silencing weapons, and there are mountains of conventional goods!
