Vasily forgot that the armed forces of the "Combined Forces" in Africa were also equipped with a number of Chinese grenades, which were ordered a few times earlier at the Young Weapons Defense Exhibition.

At that time, many individual anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles were imported, as well as some assault rifles, rocket launchers, and mortars that were at the world's advanced level.

This equipment played a significant role in the capture of the presidential palace in the Gambia and in the current Angolan campaign, but since three years ago, the United States has begun to strictly restrict the arms trade between its own companies and China, and the "joint forces" have had to use middlemen to purchase arms from China.

Thanks to the collapse of the Soviet Union, Zhang Nan does not have to worry that his private army will not be good enough to use guided weapons in 30 years, otherwise with Washington's door-picking temperament, missiles will not even be even thought about.

With the increase of China's foreign exchange reserves, it will become difficult to buy Chinese-made missiles at will, but this ordinary equipment can still be easily obtained.

For example, hand grenades, last year Gambia imported a lot of cheap and easy-to-use Type 82 grenades from China, and it is also particularly light: a large number of Soviet-made grenades from eastern Germany were relatively heavy, and some contractors did not like them very much, but they favored the two light and small Type 82 grenades imported by the company before.

It is also awesome enough for a company to use a country as an intermediary: it is said that the Gambian government orders it, but in fact the vast majority of that equipment is in the hands of the "joint forces".

In Angola today, the "combined forces" are on the offensive at a rapid pace and occupy an overwhelming advantage, and UNITA is about to become history, and the difference in the quality of the combatants is largely due to the difference in the quality of the combatants, and this combat habit is also related, especially in urban warfare.

One of them has something to do with grenades: African black buddies have always only liked to use guns, and rarely use grenades in wars, while the combatants of the "combined forces" will carry several grenades, and in many cases they use grenades to solve problems, rather than bullets that can only shoot directly.

Just as the Arabs love to use direct-fire bazookas, and when they encounter an opponent who is skilled in using a curved mortar, the Angolan soldiers of UNITA have suffered a lot from the grenade problem.

Originally, retired veterans of the Soviet Union, American and Israeli veterans, as well as Chinese veterans and a small number of tswa tribal mercenaries formed the main combat personnel of the "United Forces" in Angola, and all of them were accustomed to using hand grenades.

The daily consumption is also staggering, but fortunately, the Soviet goods and those imported from China are relatively cheap, otherwise the cost of the war would have risen if they were replaced by those made in the United States.

The Tswa people originally didn't like to use grenades, and they used to feel that they could fight the world with an AK47 in their hands, but their Chinese instructors have made these black buddies accustomed to using grenades in recent years.

The use of hand grenades has always been a tradition of the Chinese army, especially the Type 67 wooden handle grenade has become one of the symbols of the Chinese army!

From the "one, two, three, four" era, it was a rifle, two legs, three hot meals, and four grenades on foot to the army of the new era more than 20 years later, from running to riding armored vehicles and even helicopters, the rifles of the Chinese army have been changed for several generations, and the officers and soldiers still have wooden grenades hanging from their waists.

There are too many of them, billions of them, and it seems that this shelf life can still be put on Long Island, so you have to run out, right?

There are too many, and there are troops who pull grenades down on the edge of uninhabited cliffs, and then sit on their heads and smoke while throwing them down.

With historical traditions and astronomical inventories, the Chinese army has played the tactics of using grenades to the extreme.

There are apprentices who have masters, and the armed forces of the Tswa tribe have also been accustomed to using grenades, but Huaxia's Type 67 grenades are still forgotten, and those that Zhang Nan bought in small quantities a few years ago were basically used to fry fish and play.

The grenades in the arsenals of Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova can be moved wildly, and the freight will be more expensive than the purchase price.

However, Gilardino bought a hundred boxes, and his younger brother will drive them today. He also asked for some assault rifles and light machine guns, and even 60 mortars and rocket launchers, which were almost the equipment of an infantry company, saying that he had a customer order for himself.

It's already on the thighs, but the old customers still can't lose it, it's not a matter of money, it's a matter of reputation.

Just this point of equipment, the arsenal here can be equipped, and the main storage here is artillery, but it is just a matter of getting one or two hundred guns and 100,000 rounds of ammunition.

In fact, Gilardino did not have such a customer who wanted to reorganize the equipment of the army, it was Vasily who asked him to buy it.

Since there is everything here, the mercenaries who want to cut down the roots of the traffickers do not need to go to the black market in the north to buy equipment, and those people can drive from the airport and border crossing in batches to enter Albania as tourists and businessmen with Italian lira in their waists and cigarettes in their mouths.

The business was talked about, and this Lieutenant Colonel Baluku wanted to sell it harder: heavy artillery is not wanted, how about this tank and armored car?

“... If there are too many of them, it's still possible to get twenty or thirty tanks like this.

Armored cars are cheaper ...

Vasily was a little speechless about this, but he thought this guy was a little cute: the arms seller actually didn't know the information about the international arms trade because he had been closed to the country for too long.

Be a good person again, so as not to continue to annoy yourself, and let the other party know that business will be more difficult in the future: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, Germany is currently trying to find a way to deal with the 2,400 tanks left by the original East German army, and 7,600 armored vehicles are also looking for a home."

Now only Finland and Poland are interested in their T72, and a large number of modernized T55s are not interested. ”

That's enough, there is no need to explain it thoroughly, everyone should know the advanced level of the T55 left by East Germany, and Lieutenant Colonel Baluku will be a fool if he sells the Type 59 and Type 63 armored vehicles in his hand again!

In fact, not only Finland and Poland, but also Gambia and Botswana are negotiating with Germany to get some T72 and T55 tanks and BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles in excellent condition.

There is also Ukraine, T80 and T64 have brought in a lot, and the "combined forces" certainly look down on the old 59 in the hands of the Albanians, not to mention that these tanks are in extremely poor condition in the hands of these white-eyed wolves!

The business was negotiated, and it was agreed that they would have dinner together tomorrow night: the lieutenant colonel had to hurry to report to the people behind him, Vasily and the two had to contact the boss, and at the same time, the little brothers sent out by Gilardino to "buy yellow flowers" should also have news back today.

Today, everyone has no time to eat and drink, and tomorrow we will talk about it.
