Chapter 239: Ulyanko's Big Deal
A beautiful and handsome military uniform is by no means covered by the four words "beautiful and handsome".
Whether it is an army or not, a handsome and uniform uniform can improve the cohesion and morale of the group, and a rough and ugly uniform, if the ugly one refuses to wear it, can have an obvious counterproductive effect.
Military uniforms must be handsome, so that young people will join the army without hesitation, this principle is common all over the world, so both beautiful and practical military uniforms are the pursuit of all armies.
It is impossible for everyone in the Skull Gang to have a handsome uniform, but elites and officers must have it, even if they are not handsome, but at least they must be unified, so that those who can wear military uniforms have a sense of identity and pride in their small group, so that those who cannot wear military uniforms will have awe and envy for those who wear military uniforms, and strive to make themselves the ones who wear military uniforms.
For Bruce's construction, Gao Yang and several of them all nodded again and again, Majd had already handed over all the decision-making power for the equipment of the army to them, no matter what weapons to buy, or what military uniforms to buy, it will be up to them to decide.
The Skull Gang had armed men, but they didn't have an army, and in fact there was no such armed force in all of Somalia that could be called a real army, and they were greatly intrigued by the fact that they could build a force from scratch.
There are only a few weapons to choose from, basically there is no need to discuss it, but the military uniform, it is a bit of a headache, as long as the combat uniform or the dress is also required, and the military uniform is not cheap to be handsome, especially the dress, the price of a good dress is more expensive than a soldier's weapon.
After basically deciding what equipment to use. Gao Yang wrote a list out. However, the number is not fixed. Because he didn't know exactly how many people he was going to arm.
After making the list, Gao Yang looked at Majd and said in a deep voice, "How many of you are now?" How many people can be armed? Also, do you plan to continue to expand in the future, or do you plan to maintain the current size? I need to know that to determine the number of weapons to buy. ”
"We can now count six hundred, and if we need to, we can pull up a team of two thousand in a day, and everyone has guns."
Gao Yang couldn't help but be taken aback. "So many people? You said that there are only four or five thousand people in the territory of the Skeleton Gang. ”
Majd smiled and said: "In China, when people go to the street, what they must bring on their bodies is mobile phone wallets and keys, as long as they go out in Somalia, the first thing they have to bring is a gun, and guns are our essential supplies, almost every man here has a gun, if there is a war." There are as many men as there are soldiers who can fight. ”
Gao Yang shook his head. Said: "Again, those who can shoot are not necessarily soldiers, so let's put it this way, if you are a full-time soldier, how many people can you have?" ”
"A thousand, at least a thousand, the people here have nothing to do, the fish are all fished out by the big European fish boats, there is no need for so many fishermen, and this place is all desert and there is no way to farm, so they have nothing else to do except be pirates and fishing, so it is no problem to pick out a full-time soldier from among the two men."
After discussing with Grolev and the others, Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "We already have the list, but we don't know the price yet, I have to call and ask first, and after knowing the price, I will decide how much to buy, don't worry, I will fight for a fair price for you." ”
Majd nodded and said, "We can trust you, it's up to you to decide, as long as we can get something." ”
Gao Yang nodded, did not leave, and in front of Majd, he called Ulyanko again, and Ulyanko answered the phone almost immediately.
"Ram, because I have insomnia on your phone, you must not hang up the phone like last time, tell me, have you decided what to buy? Sue you, I now have a lot of second-hand goods bought from Libya waiting to be sold, the price is unbelievably cheaper, and we will cooperate to make a lot of money. ”
Gao Yang smiled and said: "Let's not break the copper and iron, I'm just an introducer, and the main thing to buy is good things, Ulyanko, you must not fool people with broken copper and iron, otherwise the buyer doesn't want your goods, don't blame me." ”
"What? Are you kidding me? Aren't you going to deliver to Somalia? I said brother, Somalis like bargains, second-hand goods bought from Libya are very popular in Somalia, but you actually told me that they don't want second-hand goods? ”
Ulyanko's words have proved that the second-hand goods in his hand are a pile of broken copper and iron, Gao Yang hurriedly said: "I said, we really don't want to break copper and iron, otherwise this business can't be done, cheap and good, but it is not equal to cheap rags." ”
Ulyanko was very nervous and said: "Do you really want second-hand goods?" I still have a lot of good second-hand goods in my hands, and I can give them to you at a super low price, are you interested? ”
"Wait, listen to what I want first, and then we will consider the issue of second-hand goods, what is the price of AK74, brand new, Russian-made, bullets should also be Russian-made, and RPG-7, launchers and rockets should be made in Russia, and M72 or RPG26, and Type 63 107mm rocket artillery, this one will be made in China, give me a price."
"I have a lot of AK74s here, a gun with six magazines and a thousand rounds, brand new Russian goods, asking for eight hundred dollars.
The price of a new RPG is $200, the price without sights, if you have a white light sight for three hundred and fifty dollars, with a low-light sight for $800, and a rocket, it ranges from forty dollars to one hundred and fifty dollars, depending on what kind of bullet you want, but if you want second-hand goods, the launcher is one hundred dollars a piece, and it is guaranteed to be used without any problems, I will pick at least seventy percent of the new ones for you.
M72 no, RPG26 three hundred dollars a piece, produced in the nineties, guaranteed to be the lowest price, as for the Type 63 rocket launcher, brother, you have to ask for second-hand goods for this, do me a favor, this is just as easy to use whether it is decades old or just out of the factory. The price of second-hand goods is cheap to die for. I'll give you $50,000 a set. And it's the price with an ammunition base, this cannon has been out of production in Huaxia for many years, and I definitely can't find you a Huaxia product, but I have more than 20 63 rocket launchers on hand, and it's absolutely no problem to use it. ”
Every time Ulyanko quoted a price, Gao Yang wrote it down on a piece of paper, and after Ulyanko finished speaking, Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "I'm asking for a price for someone else." You can make a reasonable profit, but you can't ask for a lot of money, as a friend I have to remind you again, this is very likely to be a long-term deal, don't lose long-term benefits by immediate benefits. ”
"Brother, I love money, I can't give me a penny, but I will never reach out if I shouldn't, brother, you have to believe in my work ethic."
"Understood. So what sniper rifle do you have in your hands? Semi-automatic and bolt rear-pull, what do you have? ”
"There are a lot of Dragunov. I don't have a bolt pull-back type, you know these guns are not easy to sell, so I only have a dozen Dragunovs, but the trouble is that I don't have Dragunov's special bullets, this is very annoying, but I can be ready quickly as long as you need it, you just need to give me a model. ”
Dragunov is SVD, knowing that although Ulyanko has SVD in his hand, but there is no special sniper bullet for SVD, Gao Yang can't help but feel a little difficult, if SVD does not use special bullets, the accuracy will be greatly affected, so after thinking about it, Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "That's it, I want twenty M21 first, and twenty M40A1, if there is no M40A1, then the civilian version of Remington M700 can also be equipped with a scope, how much does it cost?" ”
Gao Yang felt that from a thousand people, it should be no problem to pick out twenty accurate shooters and twenty snipers, even if they can't pick it out, then prepare the gun first and then pick it slowly, it's better to have a gun and no one than someone without a gun, and the reason why he chose M21 and M40A1 is because these two guns and bullets are universal, and they only need to buy one when they buy bullets, and it can also reduce some logistical pressure.
After a moment of silence, Ulyanko said in a deep voice: "I don't have these on my hands, but I can order them, and I can give you an accurate price soon, what about the bullets?" 2,000 rounds per gun? ”
"No, 10,000 rounds of ammunition requires a lot of live-fire training, so each gun is equipped with 10,000 rounds of ammunition, however, forget about high-priced special ammunition, well, you can pick a brand with high accuracy and good reputation to buy it, okay, for the time being, I'll call you again in a while."
After hanging up the phone, Gao Yang handed the list to Majd and said in a deep voice: "You see if the price is acceptable." ”
Gao Yang wrote the list in Chinese characters, but Majd didn't take the list, but pushed Gao Yang's hand back, and then smiled: "I don't know the price of arms, you can show me in vain, besides, don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people, this matter has been handed over to you, you can decide for yourself." ”
Gao Yang nodded and said: "You have to buy a lot of bullets, AK74's 5.45mm rifle cartridges are at least two million rounds, as for AK47, it will still be the main weapon for a long time, 10 million rounds of 7.62 mm bullets, both Russian-made and Chinese-made, and there are also 10,000 grenades. ”
Grolev nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Mines can be ignored for now, RPGs, the difference between having sights or not is really big, most RPGs on the battlefield in Africa do not have sights, and they don't use sights, but I think it should still be equipped with some low-light sights, not more, fifty is enough, it has a great effect in night battles." ”
For fear of missing something, Gao Yang and they all discussed and ordered the things to be bought, and gradually, there were more and more things on the list, and Gao Yang also had to call Ulyanko from time to time, and after making a call, the things on the list were added or deleted, and after discussing for a long time, Gao Yang finally reported everything he needed, and then got the total quotation given by Ulyanko.
