Chapter 392: Garbage City (Part II)
Leaving the arms market, Stewart suggested going to the entertainment venues, and hinted that although the entertainment industry in Salt Lake City was not as developed as Denver, it was good and inexpensive, and there were many new things that Denver simply didn't have. It's just that Chu Tianjiang has no interest in this. In order to calm Stewart, Chu Tianjiang said that after arriving in Denver, he would no longer care about him, and he would play whatever he wanted.
Before returning to the camp, Chu Tianjiang asked Stewart to take Andre to purchase a hundred sets of the smallest military uniforms.
Women's military uniforms are very rare in the market, and there are no field uniforms specifically for women, so only the smallest men's military uniforms can be purchased.
Before returning to the camp, Chu Tianjiang and the others met Nichol, as well as Connie and the others who followed her.
"Let them change their clothes and come back to camp with us."
Although there were a few big men such as Chu Tianjiang, Connie was not a little shy, and immediately took off her coat and put on the smallest military uniform, which was still much bigger.
"This ...... It's ......"
"They're all people Perez bought, and they've been in the team before."
"Why didn't I find out?"
"Because your eyes are always on the pretty maids, and you don't pay any attention to the very sloppy women." Nichol answered Stewart's question for Chu Tianjiang.
Stewart was stunned for a moment, then laughed embarrassedly.
"Don't tell anyone about it."
"Of course, my mouth is solid." Seeing Connie in a military uniform, and seeing the carbine on Connie's back, Stewart was shocked. "Lao Chu, you ...... You're going to make them ......."
"What, is it a surprise?"
"I should have thought of it a long time ago, it's just that they're all ......"
"Free man. Connie, let him see. ”
Connie nodded, rolled up her sleeves, and bared her shoulders.
Stewart was stunned again and said, "Their mark ......"
"Not anymore, or never at all. Remember, they're all free men, and they're mercenaries I've hired back. ”
"This ......"
"Stewart, this legion actually belongs to me, and the registrant is Andrey, are you worried that you will lose some dividends because of this?"
"No, of course not. It's just that I'm worried about whether they have enough ability. ”
"Don't worry, maybe they don't have it now, but they will soon. Do you think I can train a mercenary army like Nichol and them? ”
As soon as Chu Tianjiang said this, Stewart calmed down.
"Mark my words, they're the mercenaries we brought back, Connie is the head of the legion, and they'll escort the caravan to Denver."
Stewart nodded, indicating that he remembered Chu Tianjiang's words.
"Let's go, let's go back." Because it was not very far from the camp, Chu Tianjiang did not take the car, but called Nicol and the others to walk back together.
"Lao Chu, do you really plan to use them to form a mercenary army?"
"What, you think I'm kidding?"
"It's not. I thought, if you're not going to Houston, I can hire them to escort the caravan to Houston. ”
"Stewart, you're shrewd, or rather clever." Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "You know, they can't be on their own, I promise you, either go to Houston in person, or send the three Andre brothers, or Nicol and the others to follow you to Houston." ”
Stewart scratched his scalp with a smile, his careful eyes couldn't fool Chu Tianjiang at all.
"I said, when I get to Denver, I'll give you an answer. If you can't even get to Denver, what's the use of talking about going to Houston now? ”
"Okay, I'm not going to talk about it anymore."
"What do you think you should bring back to Houston?"
"Do you need to ask, I'm ......"
"Don't mention that word, and you know, it's not the most lucrative business."
"This ......"
"Which is more valuable in Houston, salt or munitions?"
"Definitely arms, but only weapons such as guns, not ammunition."
"For what?"
"Houston has the only chemical plant in the western region that can produce not only heavy ammunition, but also original ammunition, and Salt Lake City ammunition is simply not sold in Houston."
"Guns are good to sell?"
"Anywhere in the United States, and even anywhere on the American continent, guns sell well, especially automatic firearms in good condition."
"In that case, we'll buy all the guns in Salt Lake City."
"What?" Stewart was startled and said, "Is that necessary?" You're an expert and you should know that most of the guns on the market have no value at all. ”
"It's worthless in your eyes, but it's different in my eyes."
"For what?"
"Most of the guns that look terrible, or even damaged, are just not well maintained, and can be refreshed with care. I calculated that taking the worst two percent of the guns into parts would make the other eight percent of the guns in ideal condition. ”
"You have what it takes?"
"Stewart, I ate this, did I forget?"
Stewart was stunned for a moment, then said, "If that's the case, we'll be able to make a lot of money." ”
"It's not us, it's you."
"Me?"
"The money for the purchase of guns will be paid by me, and the refurbished guns, half of you and me, will be regarded as a gift from me to you, so that you can return with a full load. I think it's better to go back to Houston with dozens of truckloads of guns and a big bag of diamonds than it is to go back with just a big bag of diamonds. ”
"Lao Chu, I'...... I don't know how to thank you. ”
Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "Then don't thank me, and I didn't want you to thank me, I just hope to make your life more comfortable." ”
"Old Chu ......" Stewart was very excited and shed tears.
"Okay, let's think about how to buy guns."
"You can't buy all at once, you have to send enough people to buy, and you can't buy too much from each buyer at a time, otherwise the price will skyrocket several times."
"Take the three Andrei brothers and the Fukushima brothers and let them pretend to be caravan deacons."
Stewart nodded and said, "Even then, it will take days." ”
"Then we'll stay here for a few days."
"Okay, I'll do it tomorrow."
"Remember, buy all the good and the bad. Even if a gun doesn't work at all, there are always a few parts that can still be used. ”
Stull nodded in agreement.
Back at the camp, Chu Tianjiang first introduced Connie's "mercenary corps" to the others, and then said that he would not reduce the salaries and bonuses of other guards because of this.
Subsequently, Chu Tianjiang arranged the first job for Connie and the others: to do basic processing of the previously seized guns.
More than 500 spears of various types, and more than 200 pistols, enough for Connie and the fifty of them to be busy for one night, or even two nights.
After learning from Stewart that there was an original ammunition production plant in Houston, Chu Tianjiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that far water can't quench the thirst of the near.
Chu Tianjiang has not let Connie and the others conduct shooting training, mainly because of the shortage of ammunition, and there is not much original ammunition left from the base.
Back in Clara's tent, Chu Tianjiang did not fall asleep.
Where to get qualified ammunition?
"What, you're still thinking about things in the middle of the night?" Clara had already slept for a while.
"Some annoying little things, nothing serious, you can sleep in peace."
"Speak up and listen, maybe I can help you think of a solution."
"Can you?" Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "You definitely can't help me in this matter." ”
"If you don't tell me, how do you know that I can't help you?"
Chu Tianjiang sighed and told Clara about the ammunition shortage and the fact that the ammunition sold in the Salt Lake City Arms Market was inferior heavy ammunition.
After Chu Tianjiang finished speaking, Clara laughed and said, "I thought the sky was about to fall, so that I, a man with extreme intelligence, had nothing to do." ”
"Do you have a way?"
"I don't, but I know who you should go to."
"Looking for whom?"
"Nichol, they."
"They?"
Clara twisted Chu Tianjiang's nose and said, "You are really confused. Do you think that Nichol and they will be Chinese after marrying you? They're native-born Americans, and they've worked for the CIA before, so you don't think they know the U.S. as well as you? ”
"This ......"
"Go ahead, talk to them, and let me get some sleep."
"I'm not here, can you sleep comfortably?" Chu Tianjiang also suddenly thought of this, and then thought that before going to the Alamos Laboratory, Zhang Xiaogang gave him a traffic map along the way, and marked the US military bases along the way, and Nicol and the others knew better whether there were military bases nearby. If there were, and it was very secretive, and it was not discovered by the forces of secession, or if there were no looted arsenals, there would certainly be enough ammunition to be found.
"Hey, I just realized during this time that I slept more comfortably when you weren't there."
"Okay, that's going to be the case then."
"Don't think!" Clara pinched Chu Tianjiang's arm hard, "I heard that after five months, it won't have any effect on doing that, and you will have to accompany me every day at that time." ”
"Then you'll have to ask Rachel if she says yes."
"Anyway, you'll have to make up for all the shortcomings of these few months."
Chu Tianjiang smiled, kissed Clara's face, and said, "Let's talk about it then, I promise I won't let you suffer." ”
"Words count."
"Have I lied to you before?"
"I don't think so."
"Alright, let's sleep in peace." Chu Tianjiang kissed Clara on the lips again, and parted before Clara could react.
Out of the tent, Chu Tianjiang was not in a hurry to leave.
During this time, he developed a habit of staying outside the tent every night until she fell asleep, as long as he was with Clara.
Chu Tianjiang knew that Clara was working very hard, so he could only think of some way to compensate her.
