Chapter 165: 11 Tanks

Shopkeeper,''

Li Yibai repeated, 'This is very important to me. Money is not an issue. ’

The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his head, "Sir, may I ask why you bought a tank?" ’

'Isn't it permissible in the United States to freely buy and sell tanks, artillery, and airplanes?' Li Yibai asked rhetorically.

The shopkeeper hurriedly said, 'Yes. The U.S. government is not opposed to citizens buying and selling weapons, only those who have the money to buy and maintain them. But the U.S. government has an anti-terrorism bill. If these things are used as terrorism. I could get in big trouble. ’

Li Yibai smiled faintly, "I won't use it for terrorism." I'm just a tank enthusiast. Please ask the boss to satisfy me, a military fan. ’

'Okay. Sir, I believe in you. But I don't have a tank here. A friend of mine has. But his tanks are all old and there is no newest one. The latest ones are available only in the arsenal, and there are restrictions on exports. The shopkeeper explained.

Li Yibai smiled, "Don't worry, boss." Older ones are fine, but they must be intact and ready to fire. I don't leave the U.S. either. I only play in the desert areas of the United States. ’

'That's right. Okay, I'll take you to meet my friend. The shopkeeper got up and opened the door.

So Li Yibai got into the car of the shopkeeper.

They came to a farm on the outskirts.

⊄,ww≧w.

The two walked into the farm, but saw that there were many tanks and a lot of artillery in the backyard of the farm.

A middle-aged man with blond hair walked out, 'Hey Jack, how did you have time to come to me.' ’

'Hubert. I've got you in business. The gentleman wanted to buy tanks. The shopkeeper pointed at Li Yibai and said.

'Okay. Come with me to the backyard and choose. Hubert made a gesture of please. Then he followed the shopkeeper and Li Yibai into the backyard.

It turned out that Hubert had already acquired a lot of M47 tanks that had been retired by the US military. It's quite normal for these to be bought and sold in the United States. It is useless for the US army to keep a large number of decommissioned tanks. Most of them were sold to the private sector.

At that time, Hubert took too much at once on the spur of the moment, and as a result, he could not sell it in his hands. So when he heard that someone was coming to buy it, he was overjoyed and excited.

'Look, sir. These tanks are all M47s of the US military, and Iraq used a large number of these tanks in the Middle East war. Pls sir, which one do you like? ’

Hubert pointed to the tanks.

'Can you tanks still move?' Performance is no problem, right? Li Yibai asked.

'Rest assured. I pick all the best when I buy. Each one is superior in performance. If you don't believe me, I'll show you. With that, Hubert jumped into a tank.

The 'Boom' tank was activated. Hubert drove and ran. The yard of the farm was huge, and he ran in circles around the yard.

One moment he accelerates, the next he turns, the other he retreats. A moment over the trench. The tank is nimble and powerful, and performs well.

Li Yibai saw it in his eyes.

'How about sir. The performance is good, right? These are my well-maintained tanks. Although it is outdated militarily, its performance is not bad at all, and many third world countries still use it. For example, Myanmar and Afghanistan. ’

Hubert said as he jumped out of the tank.

'Hmm. Not bad. I have one more request. I want shells. And machine-gun bullets. Li Yibai said lightly.

Hubert and the shopkeeper's eyes widened. 'What. Cannonball. We can get machine gun bullets, but it's a bit difficult to get shells. ’

Li Yibai said lightly, "As long as you can get 500 shells." I'll buy you 11 tanks. And the technical training fee for training to drive tanks is also paid to you separately. ’

Hubert especially wanted to sell the tank. Although the shells are not good. But he can still get it.

'Jack, I need your help. We went to Jones, who was in the arms business. He can get his hands on the shells. ’

Then Hubert said to Li Yibai, 'Sir. You pay Jones for the cannonballs, and we won't charge you the referral fee. ’

Li Yibai smiled faintly. I'll pay the same amount, and I'll take it as money for your technical training." ’

Huber nodded. 'Okay. But you must keep this matter a secret. You can't say that we brought you to him. We've got you covered. Everything is between you and him. If something happens, don't mess with us. ’

Hubert was clearly cautious about the matter. Jones does a black market business. Li Yibai wanted cannonballs. They are not good at coming. He didn't want to get in trouble.

'Don't worry, Mr. Hubert. I'm not going to get you in trouble. I'm just playing in the desert alone. ’

Li Yibai comforted him.

Here's Jones' phone number. Reach out to him. As he spoke, Hubert handed Li Yibai a mobile phone. A phone number appears on the screen of the phone.

'Thank you. Hubert. You first fill up these tanks with gas, as well as machine gun bullets are ready. All pull to this my US base. Where Mr. Yu Hao will pay you. ’

After Li Yibai finished speaking, he called Jones.

'No problem. 500 shells only. I have. Money you hit into this account. Someone will contact you in two days. Then you go to an address to pick it up. ’

Jones on the other end of the phone said.

Although it was an advance payment. Li Yibai did the same. It's not a lot of money anyway. It's only $2 million. For the sake of safety, they let the trade be separated, so that it is not easy to be caught. Li Yibai can also understand.

Two days later, Yu Hao and his men found 500 shells in a forest in Marin County.

Tanks, shells, bullets are there. Li Yibai left Hubert behind.

'Hubert, you try it out in the field with this cannonball. ’

Although Hubert drove a tank for a long time, he was also the first time he fired a gun.

He tried to get into the tank and 'rumbled' into the open space near the base.

He turned the muzzle of the cannon and aimed it at the deserted hill.

There was a loud bang. The shells were fired accurately on a hill in the distance.

It worked. Li Yibai said happily.

Yu Hao, who was beside him, also clapped his hands and said. 'This cannonball works. The boss can rest assured that he can take it back to the Northern Song Dynasty. ’

Hubert got out of the car and exhaled. Isn't that crazy for us to do this? If the EPA comes to investigate, we may have a lawsuit. ’

Li Yibai hurriedly reassured him and said, "Don't worry, Hubert." We won't be playing here next time. I'll take you to a new place to play. Where there is no regulation by the U.S. government. ’

Saying that, Li Yibai ordered him to drive the tank back to the base.

He and Li Yibai were both standing in the warehouse of the base. At the same time, they also had 11 tanks and more than 400 artillery shells, as well as tens of thousands of machine gun rounds.

'Hubert, I'll take you somewhere. Where did you teach us to drive tanks. Rest assured that there is no U.S. government regulation. You can teach freely and with confidence. After teaching us, I'll give you $10,000. And then send you back. ’

I heard Li Yibai say that there were 10,000 US dollars. That's a lot of money. Hubert nodded repeatedly.

There was a blank slate

When you open your eyes again. Li Yibai and Hubert, along with the tanks, landed in the open field near the Bianliang city wall.

It was early in the morning, and the sky was dark.

There was no one nearby. But there are still forbidden army handles on the city walls. Their defense is very tight, and they have to stand guard at all times, night and day.

Li Yibai walked under the city wall and shouted, 'Ergou, Sanmao. Bring someone down. ’

It was Ergou and Sanmao who were on duty that day. They heard Li Yibai's shout and hurriedly led people down.

'Master Guoshi, why are you here?' It's so early in the morning, why don't you sleep as a leader? ’

Li Yibai smiled faintly, "I'm here to inform you of good news." I brought you the artifact. You don't have to be on duty these days. Follow me to learn how to use artifacts. ’

'Artifact. Ergou and Sanmao heard the news. They were all excited. 'Great. We have been looking forward to this day for a long time. Master Guoshi, take us to see what the artifact looks like. ’

Li Yibai walked in front, and Ergou and his 10 soldiers followed him to the place where the tank was parked.

'Sir. Where is this? The lights are dark. It doesn't look like the United States. Hubert asked nervously.

'Oh. Hubert, you don't have to worry. This is the Great Song Dynasty. The Great Song Dynasty a thousand years ago. I came to you just so that you could teach my soldiers how to use tanks. Then we used tanks against the aggression of the Jins. ’

Li Yibai said lightly.

'Foreigners. It's amazing. National teacher, you mean to let foreigners teach us to use artifacts. Sanmao pointed at Hubert and said.

That's right. You must not be rude. He is your teacher, and you should learn how to use the artifact from him. ’

Li Yibai's orders were like a mountain, and Sanmao and Ergou and a group of soldiers immediately lowered their heads and obeyed.

'It's a national teacher. We must learn how to use the artifact. ’

'This artifact is so fun. It's a big iron bull. ’

'How do you use this iron bull?' He doesn't have legs either. We didn't expect the artifact to look like this. ’

The soldiers said curiously.

'Hubert, they've handed it over to you. You teach them well. Meals and accommodation are also temporarily staying with them. In ten days, I'll send you back to the United States. ’

Li Yibai said calmly.

'Mr. Lee,' Hubert shouted nervously again.

'Don't worry. They are all my soldiers. I'm going to learn from you how to drive a tank for a few days. Li Yibai then turned to the soldiers and said,

'Listen to me. Respect Mr. Hubert. You have to call him teacher. We must know how to respect teachers. At the same time, you have to maintain these artifacts. Listen to Mr. Hubert about the maintenance of the artifact. If I hear anyone who dares to keep Mr. Hubert. I will be punished by military law, and let the emperor punish the crime. ’

We don't dare. Please rest assured. The soldiers immediately became honest.

By this time it was already dark. The sun is rising
