Regarding this arrangement made by his uncle, Pang Jindong suddenly found that his uncle's mind seemed to have changed, if it was in the past, his uncle would not hesitate to let his children pay their lives for the Kokang Republican Army.

Now he may realize that family and national justice are equally important, and he is a little ashamed of his children, allowing them to sacrifice their youth unnecessarily.

As for Pang Yangzheng, he is Pang Tianbiao's youngest son, that is, the half-sized young man who cried and asked Pang Jindong to help intercede.

Although Pang Tianbiao has now been sent to the cold palace, after all, his life has been saved, so Pang Yangzheng is still very grateful to his cousin Pang Jindong.

In addition, Pang Wenlan also wanted to reassure Pang Tianxiao and Pang Tianbiao and the others, letting them know that as long as they could do their best, the mistakes made by these two people would not affect others.

Pang Jindong couldn't know how the second aunt and uncle felt after knowing this arrangement, anyway, they came to China as quickly as possible.

Pang Jindong calculated the time and found that they went on the road almost immediately after receiving the notice, and they did not delay for an hour on the road.

Not only that, Pang Peiyao and Huangfu Danming moved their families and brought their children and fine soft with them, and it is said that there is still a lot of luggage on the way.

The couple bought a villa next to Pompeke's house, and moved in after a simple renovation, which was completely impatient.

Pang Jindong spontaneously had an idea: "If this development continues, the first garden will be renamed Ponzi Garden." ”

It is unknown whether it will be renamed "Pang Clan Garden", but at least for now, there are already many people in the vicinity of Pang Jindong's house.

There are only about 20 villas of this grade in the entire first garden, and Pang Jindong and his group account for five.

Tang Yun also bought one next to Pang Jindong, plus Lin Peiwen and Pang Jindong's two aunts, and surrounded Pang Jindong in a proper place.

It's just that although Tang Yun has his own home, he will feel scared under the pretext of being alone, and he will not leave Pang Jindong's house.

Pang Jindong did not take back Tang Yun's room in his own house, and let her continue to live here.

In fact, Pang Jindong also has a very important neighbor - Lu Jing, but Pang Jindong hasn't seen her for a long time.

Pang Jindong sometimes looked at her, the window must be black hole, and the courtyard was not a little angry.

While helping his aunt and uncle settle down, Pang Jindong also did many things, the first of which was to get in touch with the Red Sea Trading Company.

The person in charge of the Red Sea Trading Company was called Harris, and he bluntly told Pang Jindong that Anderson had already confessed, and he was personally responsible for the arms sales to Pang Jindong.

Harris gave Pang Jindong a long list of equipment that the Red Sea Company could sell right now.

The so-called "immediate sale" means that the goods can be shipped after paying the money, including brand new equipment that has a backlog in warehouses and retired troops of country M.

There are also some that are not in stock and need to be pre-ordered and not shipped until they are produced.

However, in order to ensure the superiority of the army of country M, the Red Sea Company will never transfer the equipment in active service, let alone provide the most advanced equipment.

In addition, Harris also told Pang Jindong that as long as the money is transferred to the designated account and a place to receive it is provided, the rest of the matter will be completely taken care of by the Red Sea Company.

Pang Jindong didn't expect that the other party's efficiency was so high and the service attitude was so good, but in the face of a long list of weapon names, he didn't know what to buy.

If it is an ordinary weapon, although the quality and performance of country M are better, and Anderson gives the lowest price, but considering that the weapons of country Z have a better cost performance, Pang Jindong decided to let the motherland make this money.

As for high-tech weapons, they have too high prices, and the only thing Pang Jindong can use now is the more than 200 million US dollars of his second uncle, Pang Wentao.

Even if it could be raised from the Southeast Asian Chinese Association and the Kokang Republican Army, they would not have the capacity to equip them too much.

The problem does not stop there, one or two advanced weapons cannot play a decisive role in warfare, and a whole set of combat systems is also needed, especially intelligence and reconnaissance capabilities are particularly important.

Moreover, if the technological level and industrial base cannot support the use and maintenance of advanced weapons, then not only will the original role of the weapon not be brought into play, but also whether it will be able to form combat effectiveness is a question.

In addition, any kind of weapon needs to be operated by a human being, and the operator's own essence directly determines the effectiveness of the weapon.

The Kokang Republican Army is now facing such a problem, the industrial base is basically equal to zero, and there is a lack of not only technology, but also a lack of technical personnel.

Pang Jindong's gaze scanned the list several times, and suddenly noticed something: "Apache?"

"You should know about this well-known helicopter gunship, the model we offer is AH-64A, the unit price is nineteen million dollars, not including armament. I can tell you frankly that they were all eliminated from the army of country M, but there is no problem with performance and quality, and they can be swept away in backward countries. ”

There is a huge price difference between different models and batches of Apache gunships, and the latest AH-64D will reach more than 45 million dollars.

The AH-64A was an early model, which was put into service in the eighties of the twentieth century, at a cost of 19 million US dollars, and about 25 million US dollars with armament.

After using it for so many years, the people of M actually sold it at the original price, and the business was really done.

This, of course, is due to the fact that the AH-64A, although it lags behind the new model, still has a strong advantage on a global scale.

The terrain of the Kokang region is very complex, and in the midst of high mountains and dense jungles, it is difficult to deploy heavy combat weapons, even ordinary air strikes are difficult to play an effective role.

Based on this situation, Pang Jindong decided not to equip heavy tanks for the time being, but helicopter gunships can play a great role in such a terrain environment, which can cover ground troops, or carry out precision strikes and targeted killings, and can also implement battlefield interdiction.

Considering that the air force of the MD government army is very weak and does not have sufficient air defense means, the Apache is really an effective weapon.

$19 million is not cheap, but in terms of the average price in the global arms market, Pang Jindong believes that it is difficult to buy a cheaper one.

Although he knew that the Kokang Republican Army was not capable of using and maintaining this weapon now, Pang Jindong's mind still came alive, and he asked almost reflexively: "Can it be cheaper?"

"Nineteen million for a single machine, 25 million for weapons, no matter how many you buy, it's the price. If you have some knowledge of the arms market, you should know that our prices are already the lowest. Harris laughed as he said this, and it sounded a little harsh after the effect of the phone filter.

"I don't think your cost is nineteen million, and I believe Anderson has already sued you and offered me some concessions. ”

Regarding Pang Jindong's accusation, Harris did not deny it at all: "The boss did sue us, but after all, we are businessmen, and we still need to make some money." ”

Pang Jindong knew very well in his heart that although Anderson himself could not make his own money, these people under him could not work in vain.

The arms business is fraught with unpredictable dangers, and no one is willing to give them for free.

Pang Jindong smiled: "I understand that you need profits, but as people who buy things, you always want the price to be as cheap as possible." ”

"It's true that the price can't be lowered, but as a good friend of our boss, I can give you a discount. ”

"What's the offer?"

"We can help you build the airport and the attached infrastructure, and we'll be responsible for training your pilots and maintenance personnel for a period of three years. After a pause, Harris added: "We will send a lot of people, covering all aspects of Apache, and the training will be systematic and comprehensive, which can turn illiterate people into good pilots." I have some understanding of the situation on your side, and we have the ability to allow you to have a strong army aviation force that does not have any foundation, so you should think about it, these after-sales services are not measured in specific amounts. ”

Harris's mention is very attractive, and it just solves Pang Jindong's most worrying problem, so Pang Jindong almost without thinking about telling the other party: "Okay!

Pang Jindong used Pang Wentao's money to buy eight Apache stand-alone machines, and the rest of the money bought weapons, equipment and spare parts.

Harris felt very strange, because Pang Jindong bought a bit of a small number of weapons, considering the current fierce fighting in the Kokang region, coupled with the consumption of daily training, it was simply not enough.

Harris reminded Pang Jindong: "No matter how good a bow is, it needs arrows to exert its power. ”

Pang Jindong just smiled but didn't say anything, there are two main reasons for the small amount of weapons purchased, and neither of them can be said explicitly.

The first is that there is not enough funding;

The second is that Pang Jindong wants to get rid of his dependence on country M, and plans to wait for Apache to study modifications after he gets his hands on them, so that he can use the weapons of country Z.

After reaching an agreement, Pang Jindong first remitted the deposit, and then only needed to wait for the other party to transport weapons to the Kokang area and train the Kokang Republican Army.

Because of the high level of trust between Pang Jindong and Anderson, the transaction process is much simpler.

According to Harris's plan, the weapons were to be sent by sea to country Z, and then through the territory of country Z into the Kokang region.

Pang Jindong was a little uneasy about this, because country Z may not be able to allow this batch of weapons to cross the border.

Harris seemed to be relaxed and told Pang Jindong unmistakably that they would first disassemble the Apache and disguise it as civilian items, and then reassemble it after the Kokang region. He even swore to Pang Jindong that they often did similar things and never made a mistake.

Pang Jindong suddenly realized that if Harris said the truth, then I am afraid it is not only because of their superb means, but also because there are some shady black box operations in it.

As soon as Pang Jindong finished doing these things, Tang Yun, Meg, Liao Chenghao and Tang Chuanjiang came to Pang Jindong's office together.

These people work in different departments of the Imperial Holding Group, and they all live in Pang Jindong's home.

Therefore, as long as Pang Jindong goes to work in the group, they will gather when they get off work and let Pang Jindong take him home.

This constitutes a unique phenomenon of the Imperial Holding Group, where the chairman of the board of directors personally drove several employees to and from work.

Pang Jindong didn't care about this, but it is obvious that some people's way of thinking is different from Pang Jindong.

Just as the group was waiting to walk out of the group headquarters, a silver-gray BMW stopped in front of the door.

This BMW is one of the best cars of the group, which was purchased by Han Feng to receive the group's distinguished customers and business partners.

The people around Pang Jindong are either indifferent by nature or keen on their careers, and none of them are lazy to enjoy.

Therefore, this BMW car is more often just a symbolic ornament, Han Feng himself basically does not take it, and others rarely use it.

Just when Pang Jindong wondered who was sitting in this car, the driver of the BMW came down, and Pang Jindong found that it was the full-time driver of Tong Kezhong.

The driver walks to the back seat of the car and opens the door, while placing his left arm flat on the edge above the door.

Immediately after, a fat body emerged from the car. When the body got out of the car, the driver immediately closed the door and followed respectfully.

This fat body is Tong Kezhong himself, I saw that his face was flushed, and he walked staggeringly, obviously drinking a lot of wine.

When Tong Kezhong walked to the gate of the group with the driver, he saw Pang Jindong and others, he was stunned for a moment, and then greeted with some embarrassment: "Chairman, you are also there, ......" When he spoke, a pungent smell of wine came to his face, making Tang Yun and Meg can't help but cover their noses.

Pang Jindong smiled and said to Tong Kezhong: "It turns out that when Commander Tong travels, he is treated the same as the national leader, and he is almost surrounded by police cars. ”

Tong Kezhong said with a little embarrassment: "Today's comrades-in-arms gathered for the sake of conscription, I can't lose face for our group......"

The meaning of Tong Kezhong's sentence is obvious, but Pang Jindong thinks that he may not have considered the group, and it is true that he wants to save face.

Pang Jindong looked at Tong Kezhong's driver, only to see the latter standing behind Tong Kezhong, first smiling silently and bitterly, and then spreading his hands again, indicating that he was helpless.

With a sneer, Pang Jindong looked at the drunken Tong Kezhong, and said slowly: "As the chairman of the Imperial Holding Group, I just drive a Subaru Forester, not only do I not have a full-time driver, but I also often take the company's employees to and from work. In contrast, Captain Tong, you are such a big shelf, it is worth 'learning' from me!"
