Chapter 351
The village chief's words really surprised Yi Xingchen, how could they store so many weapons?
But after thinking about it, it is understandable that during the war, the villagers stored enough weapons to ensure their personal safety, but where did they get them? Thinking of this, Yi Xingchen suddenly had an idea: It seems that this batch of arms can indeed be collected by me.
"The former government of Liberia has set up a secret arsenal here. Speaking of such a sensitive topic, the village chief deliberately lowered his voice and whispered.
Yi Xingchen was shocked when he heard this. But he immediately realized a problem, and immediately became vigilant, and asked the village chief, "Why are you looking for me?"
"To tell you the truth, we have been paying attention to you since you came, and according to our observations, you have the ability and the channel to buy them. Moreover, you are not from the country, and we will not have any trouble. The village chief didn't hide anything at all, and explained to Yi Xingchen one by one. The village chief had a simple idea, and in such a time of war, he would try his best to trade anything that could be exchanged for money. Yi Xingchen's arrival made him see an opportunity.
But because of the village chief's words, Yi Xingchen had other thoughts in his heart, being in a foreign country, many things were unknown. Although the village chief has not acted excessively so far, since he has an arsenal in his hands, Yi Xingchen has to guard against it.
So, Yi Xingchen secretly glanced at Yan En and signaled Yan En to start guarding, lest if the two sides disagreed next, the other party was likely to attack on the spot.
Here's where it goes. It was already a bit unexpected for Yi Xingchen. Originally, Yi Xingchen was only going to wait in a low-key manner in this border town so that all the workers could be accepted. But now that the people in this village have noticed them, Yi Xingchen has to look the other way.
Although there are some extraneous branches, Yi Xingchen has not been affected by this, in fact, he is really against the weapons of Gulu Village, oh, the arsenal of Liguo. Very interested.
"What is your identity, and why do you know about this arsenal?" Yi Xingchen asked the village chief cautiously. Normally, even if the former government officials of the Liberian State have hidden an arsenal in their village. But this should be a secret of the state military, they are just small border villagers, how can they know the core secrets of the state? This does not allow Yi Xingchen not to question their identity.
When the village chief heard this, he smiled. There was not even a hint of surprise on his face. It seems that Yi Xingchen had expected this question for a long time, but this shows that Yi Xingchen is interested in this batch of arms, so he replied: "Many villagers in Gulu Village were once soldiers of Liguo. ”
Yi Xingchen suddenly understood, nodded, and said to the village chief: "I want to take a look at the arsenal before I can bid." ”
"No problem!" said the village chief with a smile. But then. He said that it was not very convenient in the evening, and suggested that he go to the arsenal the next day to look at the munitions.
Buy arms from Kotatsu Village. Although it was Yi Xingchen's temporary idea, it did not mean that this was a random purchase by him. If this batch of munitions is suitable for other uses, it will undoubtedly be a coincidence that it has added a little military strength to Xinghua, which is of course a good thing.
Although he didn't understand why the village chief had this proposal, it didn't hurt for Yi Xingchen, so he readily agreed.
After a full meal, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
But because he was reminded by the village chief's words, Yi Xingchen did not relax his vigilance because he went back to the room to rest, let alone forget the fact that they were in a strange village because he drank a few glasses of wine with the villagers, so he still ordered Yan Enyan Zhong to arrange guards to take turns to keep vigil.
Moreover, Yi Xingchen was not overly confident that spending the night in such a village with armed strength could ensure his safety with only ten palace guards, so Yi Xingchen opened the space passage and transferred five swordsmen led by Allen from Xinghua Kingdom to increase security.
Yi Xingchen made full safety preparations, but fortunately they didn't come in handy, and everyone spent the night peacefully.
The next morning, the village chief really came over to see Yi Xingchen as agreed.
The night passed peacefully, which also made Yi Xingchen have a little more trust in the village chief. He came to see him, apparently to show himself to the arsenal, so he smiled and agreed.
Although the village chief of Guqi Village found that Yi Xingchen had a few more followers, they did not have any doubts because of this. Anyway, these extra people will not pose any threat to them, at most they guess that they are rushing to Gulu Village on the orders of Yi Xingchen overnight.
The arsenal is not far from Gulu Village, which is only two kilometers away. But when Yi Xingchen arrived at the scene, he found that this was an underground arsenal. Above the arsenal is a small earthen bag, if you don't know the existence of this underground arsenal in advance, or if you don't get the guidance, it's hard to find out that in this place, there is actually an arsenal hidden underground. If it weren't for the instructions of the village chief, Yi Xingchen really wouldn't have thought that at his feet, there would be a bunch of treasures that were extremely useful to him.
This transaction is a big event for the entire Guqi Village, and all the villagers who get the news are waiting for it. More than 50 villagers, all armed with guns in their hands, are on guard to provide comprehensive personal protection to all those who enter the arsenal, and of course, to prevent interested outsiders from stealing information about their arsenal.
As the group stood outside the door of the arsenal, the village chief took the lead and pushed open a door disguised as a rock. Then, the village chief turned around and motioned to Yi Xingchen and beckoned him to continue to follow him, while taking a step first and walking towards the door.
The inside of the stone door was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers, and I suddenly entered it, and my eyes were a little unable to adapt.
At this time, the village chief turned on the flashlight, and Yi Xingchen also instructed the people behind him to turn on the flashlight to follow, and the group continued to walk inside.
This rock passage, Yi Xingchen and the others walked for about two or three minutes, and then they came to a huge space. Because of the limited visual range of the flashlight, Yi Xingchen only saw the outline, and he didn't look at it carefully immediately.
At this moment, the village chief turned on a switch. The whole space immediately brightened up.
"This is Liguo, the eighth secret arsenal. The village chief began to briefly introduce the identity of the arsenal.
While the village chief was making an introduction, Yi Xingchen couldn't wait to quickly browse through the inventory of the entire arsenal. But when Yi Xingchen saw this arsenal clearly. I was surprised to find that he had underestimated it before.
In this arsenal, it is full of munitions and equipment. What Yi Xingchen saw were two tanks, twenty ground-to-ground cannons, two anti-aircraft guns, countless machine guns, and bullet boxes...... The amount of these arms. Just by sight, it is enough to arm a modern army force of 10,000 people.
Yi Xingchen couldn't help but take a few steps forward and touched the cold cannon barrel. Half a day. With a fixed mind, Yi Xingchen turned to the village chief and asked, "Do you really want to sell these things?"
The village chief has been observing Yi Xingchen's reaction, and so far, he naturally knows. Yi Xingchen definitely intended to buy it. His face suddenly showed a look of joy, and he smiled: "You can buy as much as you can." ”
Yi Xingchen fell silent.
His silence made the village chief smile inhibitively, not that he thought Yi Xingchen would regret not buying, but he was guessing how much Yi Xingchen was willing to buy. The village chief hoped that Yi Xingchen would be willing to digest even one-third or even half of the munitions. He was already satisfied, because it had already brought their village a considerable fortune. In this time of war. It's not easy.
Just when the village chief was guessing, Yi Xingchen finally spoke again, and said with a serious face: "You make a price, I want all the arms in this arsenal." ”
As soon as these words came out, the village chief was shocked, and opened his mouth, but he trembled several times, but he still couldn't speak.
After a long time, he regained his composure a little, and looked at Yi Xingchen with a serious face.
It's not that the village chief didn't guess Yi Xingchen's strength, but he didn't think that Yi Xingchen would make an astonishing request to swallow the entire arsenal, which in the village chief's opinion, was from the bottom of his heart that Yi Xingchen couldn't do it at all, in fact, it was impossible for any individual to do it, because this was only a transaction between countries.
However, the village chief stared at Yi Xingchen for a long time, his serious look and firm face seemed to clearly tell the village chief that Yi Xingchen's ability was beyond doubt.
Finally, the village chief tentatively spoke, "Ten million euros, all these arms are yours." ”
When Yi Xingchen heard this, he felt that the village chief's offer was not expensive at all. After all, this is not the first time Yi Xingchen has been in contact with arms trading, he has a lot of knowledge of the market, and the price of a single tank is not less than three million euros for these two tanks alone.
"Do you have an international bank account?" Yi Xingchen didn't have half a superfluous sentence, and then asked.
When the village chief heard this, he didn't know how to react for a while. First, he didn't expect Yi Xingchen to have no half of the bargain, so happy that he began to wonder if the price was too low; second, how could a small town villager like him in a war-torn country have an international bank account?
The village chief turned his head to look at the villagers, and when he turned back to look at Yi Xingchen, he could only wave his hand helplessly and said, "We really don't have a bank account, don't you have cash?"
"Cash...... Who would bring so much money with them?" Yi Xingchen also felt a little embarrassed.
The village chief also knew that he had asked a stupid question, and hurriedly tried to find a way to solve it.
Yi Xingchen thought for a while, and then asked: "I am in Liguo, and I still have some cash, but not much, that is, hundreds of thousands of euros." Do you mind, pay in gold?"
"Hundreds of thousands of euros......" The village chief didn't hear the words clearly, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but another villager who understood immediately grabbed the village chief and reminded: "Gold!"
The village chief was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked at Yi Xingchen in surprise, as if he couldn't believe what he heard, and asked, "You have gold?"
"I can pay in gold according to the international gold price, do you think it's okay?" Yi Xingchen asked.
"Of course, no problem!" the village chief nodded without hesitation. No matter how heavy gold is, it is much lighter than this pile of munitions, easy to preserve, and has the effect of preserving value. Especially in times of war, this is undoubtedly the safest means of trading.
The two sides reached the terms of the transaction, and Yi Xingchen promised that within three days, the money and gold would be shipped.
"Isn't this arsenal known to anyone else? Tell me honestly, I need time to get these arms away, so I don't want anything to happen in the middle. Either way, the transaction will not be canceled. Yi Xingchen asked again. There are some situations that he needs to determine in advance.
The village chief hesitated for a moment and said, "I guarantee this secret arsenal, not many people know about it. Moreover, it is impossible for the current government of Liberia to know about it, and only the top level of the former Ministry of Defense can get hold of this secret, but I am not sure that there will be any communication between the previous and current governments. ”
"Okay, I got it. Yi Xingchen nodded, "I want to send someone to stay here." ”
The village chief nodded and said, "No problem. ”
Yi Xingchen turned around and gave a few orders to Yan Zhong, ordering him to take six guards to guard the arsenal, and also left him a few walkie-talkies.
The village chief of Gulu Village watched silently from the sidelines and did not speak. When leaving, Gulu Village also left ten villagers behind to guard the arsenal.
Leave the arsenal and get back to the surface. Yi Xingchen told the village chief that he needed to leave Gulu Village temporarily, contact the outside world, and send the money and gold as soon as possible.
The village chief knew that what Yi Xingchen said was right, and he was desperate for gold, so there was no reason to stop Yi Xingchen, so he nodded and agreed.
Yi Xingchen led Allen, Yan En and the villagers of Gulu Village to separate, and found a hidden, unmonitored location far away from the arsenal, and set up camp.
Set up camp, Yan En and the others, and set up a big tent.
In the tent, Yi Xingchen opened the space passage and returned to Xinghua Kingdom.
After the expansion war, Xinghua Kingdom twice robbed a lot of gold and silver treasures from the former nobles of Xilin City and Nantu City. With tens of millions of euros of gold, it is not difficult to prepare. Yi Xingchen approached Prime Minister Sheehan and Chancellor of the Exchequer Lucas and proposed to spend gold and buy arms.
The king's will, Sheehan and Lucas would not refuse, they quickly passed and organized the manpower to deliver the gold to the palace warehouse in the shortest possible time.
Yi Xingchen then took out the liquid banknotes he usually prepared from the space channel, about 300,000 euros, and packed them in a suitcase.
In addition, Yi Xingchen also dispatched a hundred soldiers of the Royal Guard, fully armed to transport gold.
The wealth is moving, and if Gulu Village dares to buy the country's arsenal, it is not easy to be with them, and it is better to believe in their kindness and trustworthiness than to believe in the weapons in their hands. Therefore, Yi Xingchen couldn't be more vigilant against the people of Guli Village.
Yi Xingchen was not in a hurry to return to Gulu Village, and after more than an hour, it was not until about three o'clock in the afternoon that he led people back with money.
The village chief of Gulu Village led the villagers and cautiously welcomed Yi Xingchen and them into the village. (To be continued......)
