At the entrance to the valley, a long new barbed wire fence has been pulled up, a sentry with a gun who looks like a European or American is sitting in a jeep, and seven or eight Filipino locals are working on the side of the road. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are two pits in the ground, which are the foundations, and there are probably two houses to be built here.

The barbed wire fences fixed with wooden stakes on both sides had been pulled out for hundreds of meters, and Zhang Nan saw that there were also people working on the mountain, presumably fixing these barbed wires.

There is also a large sign at the intersection, with two rows of words written in red paint on the top, the upper line is "Privateterritoryprohibited", and the lower row is unknown to Zhang Nan, probably in Tagalog.

"Private property, no entry. Well, that's good. ”

Zhang Nan praised Hanson Bruce, who was sitting in the co-pilot, and the preparation speed was good.

There were no barricades at the intersection, and the sentry saw Hanson Bruce poking his head out of the car, and he also saw Mr. Thomas, the general manager of United Forces, and jumped out of the car as a salute.

American-style military salute. This is, of course, not an active duty US military, but an employee of the "Combined Forces".

Employees of the "Combined Forces" within the camp limits can carry guns, M16A1, weapons that are most familiar to these American employees. This will be the M16A2 has just started the production tender, the American GIs still use the M16A1, and military contractors in the Philippines would also use this.

You can't carry AK47 on your back.

"We had purchased 500 A1s, all of which were second-hand from excess inventory disposed of by the military, at a wholesale price of $85 a piece. ”

Hearing Hansen's introduction, Zhang Nan said: "It's not okay to use second-hand goods all the time. ”

The M16A1 has a bad reputation, let alone second-hand.

"Boss, there will be a new stock of FAL at the beginning of next month, as well as 500 new Soviet-made AKMs, and all other necessary firearms, explosives, and communication equipment will be in place by the middle of next month. ”

"Soviet goods, where did they come from?"

Hansen Bruce listened to Zhang Nan's question and said: "For those who export to Africa, there are middlemen who specialize in this, entrepot trade. ”

Zhang Nan nodded.

In fact, I don't know the supply and marketing here at all, and the interlacing is like a mountain, so ask Thomas when the time comes.

Some time ago, the training weapons in the camp were basically second-hand, in addition to American equipment, Thomas also went to collect more than 200 AK series assault rifles, but the degree of new and old is different, and it is more fun after the origin is counted.

From 12 countries - Wanguo!

The comrades of the "security guards" from Huaxia were a little crying and laughing in the face of the assault rifles in their hands: it was not that the guns were too broken, but the oldest ones were still 7 percent new, or they were too messy.

Soviet, Chinese, Romanian, Yugoslav, East German, Czechoslovak...... No matter which model it is, these are all quality-bearing.

North Korea and Cuba are also okay, but what do you get a few Arabic markers?

It's better than not knowing, it's more frightening!

Even if the reputation of the weapons produced in the Arab countries is not particularly stinky, compared with the original Soviet goods, it is like coming out of a small workshop.

The process is rough, the quality of the steel is also poor, and the funniest thing is that those guns still "can't eat fine grain": the M43 bullet shell made in the United States is very easy to jam, and the bullet supply is smooth after replacing it with the copper-clad steel shell bullet imported from China.

Moreover, the defense company does not issue a few guns to employees to qualify, but also has a full set of other equipment, just as Zhang Nan said that the body armor to be equipped will still be in the selection stage.

The body armor of the US military is a tender, and to put it bluntly, it is to choose the supplier with the lowest price; the "joint forces" are different, although the cost performance is also important, but the quality is the first place!

It's okay to talk an extra $200 per piece, the boss has money!

"When there's a big gun exhibition, you and Thomas go buy a batch of equipment. Don't worry about money, the people in the company are working for me, so I need to use the best equipment. ”

Hearing Zhang Nan's words, Han Sen smiled: "Yes, boss." ”

As a logistics supervisor, the best thing is to have a boss who is not only rich, but also generous.

"By the way, the combat crew also needs to be equipped with pistols, don't forget. ”

When Hansen heard this, he hurriedly said: "This is what Manager Thomas reminded us that we will provide you with two main pistols to choose from, Glock 18 and M1911A1, and there will be a small number of other models of pistols to choose from."

If the brothers from China are not used to European and American pistols, the T33 is still fine. ”

Although the Tokarev pistol has average man-machine efficacy, people who are used to it like it, and they can't play with other advanced pistols of the latest style.

It has proven to be very practical for security contractors to be fully equipped with pistols, which is not yet the case in the armies of various countries, and the nature of the work and the environment are different.

Zhang Nan didn't care about the money, he gave it all.

With that, the core of the camp has arrived.

It's an open field in a valley with less trees on the ground. Ahead, the woods are even more sparse, and there will be a shooting range, which can be a kilometer deep.

There are already a lot of locals working, and excavators and other construction equipment are being built: barracks and living quarters will be built in this area.

The overseers were Americans, also known as "military contractors" because they often worked for nearby U.S. military bases, according to Mr. Hansen's old colleagues at the base.

The prices are fair, the labor costs are low, and the quality of the work is reliable - just a few of the administrators are Americans, and the work is all native.

It's not about building a fortress, it's just about getting by.

When he got out of the car, Zhang Nan ignored the American contractors and construction workers, put on a super-rich style, and walked to the shooting range by himself.

Many of the trees had already been cut down and had not yet had time to be dragged away.

Zhang Nan doesn't understand wood, but he also feels that just a few pieces of wood are okay.

There is a big tree at your feet, with a diameter at least seventy or eighty centimeters at breast height, and when you see the section, it feels like a kind of mahogany.

"Didn't you say it's all mixed wood?"

Zhang Nan asked Hansen.

"Boss, what do you mean by this wood?"

Zhang Nan nodded.

"This kind of timber is everywhere in the Philippines, and there are more in the eastern mountains, and there are not many big trees in the vicinity, so those who are in charge of this are treating it as a miscellaneous wood forest area.

Too cheap and not worth the money. ”

I almost forgot that it was the 80s: in the past few years, the Materials Bureau would receive and sell some materials imported from Southeast Asia every year, using wooden boxes.

The boxes are all made of mahogany!

There are so many varieties of mahogany that you won't be able to value every one. The mess of varieties of mahogany is worth a lot of money, and that will be until after China's economy takes off, when China will import huge amounts of high-grade wood every year to make flooring and furniture.

The preference for mahogany is the first in the world for Chinese people.

But if you don't do wood business, you feel that it's a pity to throw away such a good piece of wood.

This will be used in Huaxia, where this kind of wood will be used to make furniture after two years of drying, which is a good wood that many traditional carpenters dream of.

"It's a pity!"

Kicked the big tree.

"Move back?"

As soon as he heard that it was his brother-in-law who spoke, Zhang Nan just wanted to answer, but he thought in his head: "Why don't I help you transport it back?"

Xiang Weirong originally wanted to raise a bar with his brother-in-law, who let him tease him yesterday.

But when he heard that this kid was not fooled, he simply said: "Okay, I can sit on the whole set of furniture when I go home." ”

glanced at his brother-in-law, "Forget it, I'm afraid I won't be able to earn back the freight." ”

Speaking of which, it's not a pity for the wood, and looked at Thomas.

Comrade General Manager broke away from Hansen, who also happened to have some things to explain to the contractor, so he walked away with great interest.

Hansen knew that he was not too familiar with the boss, and it was better not to know too much about some business matters.

He thought that Zhang Nan and the others were going to discuss the training base.

Opening a small-scale map here, Zhang Nan began to proofread on the spot, and soon found suspicious points.
