Chapter 1252: Eat it all
With satellite phones, a few Albanians took the initiative to walk a few dozen meters away with Gilardino to chat, leaving Vasily and Leon cowards on the phone.
The time was very short, and while Lieutenant Colonel Baluku had smoked a cigarette, Vasily had already taken the phone and came over.
"Lieutenant Colonel, our boss said that as long as the price is right, he doesn't mind collecting more. β
Five or six semi-automatic rifles, the general opinion is that they will be used to fight wars have been completely outdated, that is, hunting lives, so Vasily is talking about collecting, not buying them and selling them to others as arms.
Is it really not suitable for war?
No, at least not the Yugoslavs next door, who spoke Albanian and wanted to get a little 56 and a half from here.
There is no shortage of AK47, what you want is 56 and a half!
Not for anything else, just because of its accuracy, after adding a small magnification scope in an ordnance workshop or military factory, it is quite reliable as a precision shooting rifle used to shoot targets within three or four hundred meters.
The capacity of the bay of these ten rounds is not large, and the rate of fire of a single round cannot handle the task of suppressing firepower, and there is still room for it to survive in another way of use, at least for now.
That's good, the Albanians here know in their hearts that they can put a lot of money to use: they have been thinking about whether to give a batch of unusable and outdated equipment to their neighbors in the north.
It's a pot of porridge over there, which is a good thing for Albania!
Even if relations with the northern neighbor were stiff twenty or thirty years ago, the divided Yugoslav nation was complex, and naturally there was a part of the population that had relatively good relations with Albania.
Take the surplus materials that you can't use at all, and put the surplus materials that occupy the place to give away, and the poor eggs also have poor and generous times.
There is no money, but there are guns that are not used.
When Lieutenant Colonel Baluku heard this, he smiled and said: "This is easy to say, we don't use the American market as a reference, the price is absolutely reasonable."
A brand new unboxed one is $20, and the used ones are guaranteed to be in good condition, $10 friendly price. β
When Vasily heard this, he also smiled.
"Dear Lieutenant Colonel, if you were to become a businessman, you would definitely be a successful man.
Huaxia AK: You are negotiating with reference to the U.S. market, and when it is your turn to ask Huaxia SKS, you don't need to refer to the U.S. market.
The level is high.
The Type 56 semi-automatic rifle made in China is a hot commodity in the US gun market, which will stop the Americans from importing ammunition made in China, and the fully automatic Type 56 submachine gun is strictly prohibited from importing, but the 56 and a half are okay, that is, the bayonet must be removed.
In the United States, this 56 and a half is still cheap, and for a while it sold for more than 70 dollars a piece, it is still a standard military version. With accessories such as a folding bayonet, a harness and an oil can, such an authentic military rifle is popular among ordinary Americans.
However, in order to meet the multiple requirements of American customers for firearms, the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle exported to the North American market has gradually departed from the essence of military firearms, and there are many strange deformation models, which have become a kind of civilian semi-automatic sports rifle.
But even if it is changed, it is now just over $100 a piece, which is one-seventh or eighth-the price of a fully automatic AK that can still be sold.
A brand-new AK for more than $300 a piece is available in the United States, but it is a castrated model that can only be fired semi-automatically.
The price of each of the tens of thousands of Type 56 submachine guns just announced is more than $50, and there are thousands of the same new goods in the US market, almost 20 to 1.
The meaning of Vasily's words is easy to understand: if you calculate it this way, even if 56 and a half can be sold for $150 in the United States, then you will be asking for $20, or an outdated thing that is eliminated and not easy to sell in the military market, are you embarrassed?!
It's a pity that Baluku is very embarrassed, doing business, selling more if he can.
The two sides began to bargain again, and finally pushed each other one step, brand new 15, used 8 yuan, deal.
I went to see the goods again, and this time it was not in the cave: not far away was a corner of the roof of a warehouse, and the things were right there.
When I looked at it, I saw a mountain of boxes in the warehouse, including original goods and old goods wrapped in oiled paper with butter inside.
I opened a few boxes to see, the state is not bad, I chose a few new ones and tried them, and the accuracy was maintained very well, that is, these guns were all produced in the early sixties, and the top was still equipped with a sword-shaped double-edged bayonet that is rare today in the 56 and a half years.
These are all products before the special period, because before 1965, the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle produced in Huaxia was the same as the original SKS, using a sword-shaped, double-edged, double-sided blood-grooved bayonet.
Later, the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle was all switched to the three-edged bayonet, because it was more powerful and also suited the concept of the Chinese army at that time: the bayonet is red.
The early model is the early model, the boss doesn't care, he wants it.
Vasily's phone call just now was to Andrei, knowing that the deputy captain was with the boss.
They will be invited to play at the Bollywood photography base, and the boss is accompanying his baby daughter to watch a specially prepared song and dance show.
Andre sat down with Mr. Xiang, and after hearing this, he roughly conveyed it.
Zhang Nan was busy suppressing her daughter's riot that was always going to run around, and she didn't have time to pay attention to this, so she said: "Brother-in-law, you can do it, a few dollars." β
In the ten years that Xiang Weirong was a soldier, he had very little time to touch 56 and a half, but he also felt that the defects of that gun were as prominent as the advantages: it could only be fired single, and the accuracy was extremely high!
Since the brother-in-law didn't have time to pay attention, he replied on the phone: "Don't let those grandsons pay the price, just buy them all."
By the way, 56 rushed to these as many as you wanted, and, I remember..."
After singing and dancing, Zhang Nan handed over his daughter to Miranda, and then remembered that he seemed to have said about buying a gun just now.
One asked, "Brother-in-law, how many did you just say?"
"Fifty thousand.
I also asked Vasily to buy as much as he could, anyway, it was the price of cabbage, and there were a lot of grandsons.
I think that we brought back all the things produced in northern Vietnam and China, and this time they were lucky, and they could exchange some money..."
Xiang Weirong is a clichΓ©, anyway, Zhang Nan understands it, his brother-in-law is planning to buy all the good things in the hands of Albanians at the price of cabbage, regardless of whether he thinks about how to use them or not.
After hearing this, Zhang Nan calculated in his heart, plus the light weapons obtained from the finished Soviet Union, it was enough to arm the whole people of the Natswa tribe in Botswan this year.
"Brother-in-law, do you want the cannon in the hands of those grandsons?
I estimate that the price of scrap iron can be eaten, so much, now except us, no one wants them to sell scrap iron. β
"Don't use large-caliber ones, artillery shells are not bullets, you can't hold them for too many years, and you don't have to fight large-scale conventional warfare, there's no need for that.
Those mortars can be brought back, and the shells are easy to buy.
By the way, last time you said that you were going to send a batch of equipment to a friend in Indonesia, just get it from Albania, just give them East German goods, anyway, those Indonesian monkeys also want to buy it from Germany, which can confuse the public..."
......
The boss was talking about how to digest these good things at the price of cabbage, and here Vasily found that there should be more than 5,000 boxes in this big warehouse, at least seven or eight thousand.
Then he asked Baluku: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, what else is here, the number seems to be wrong." β
