The field of arms smuggling has always been a seller's market, that is to say, except for some special circumstances, it is usually buyers who ask for sellers, and it is unlikely that sellers will ask for buyers, unless it is a state-level arms transaction, but it cannot be said to be arms smuggling, but can only be said to be arms procurement.

Li Zhigao's current situation is also like this, if Li Zhigao wants to buy it, then he naturally has to go to the arms dealer to visit him, and it is unlikely that the arms dealer will casually come to him to sell.

Following Bai Jingshan, Li Zhigao took a car to a three-story brick and concrete building on the outskirts of Durban, which is said to be the location of the arms dealer's company.

The meeting was in a room on the third floor with a sign of the president's office, and there were only three people in the room at this time, Li Zhigao, Bai Jingshan, and the arms dealer he wanted to meet.

The arms dealer was a white man named Harrison, in his forties, with a height of 1.85 meters and a very strong physique.

In fact, this guy really served in the South African Army, and worked in the South African EO company for a long time after retiring, after the EO company was disbanded, he simply opened a security company called White Dawn, the company's main business, in addition to providing bodyguard services to people, also do arms trading, in short, a standard mercenary leader and arms dealer.

Of course, limited by financial resources and background, coupled with the current political environment in which South Africa's political axe suppresses whites, the scale of his company is not large, and it is not comparable to those companies in MPRI. However, it doesn't matter how big or small the scale of such a thing as an arms deal is, it can be done if there are channels, and he is only a middleman anyway, not a company that actually produces arms. As for why he was looking for him, it was because this guy's company used to provide security services to local Chinese in Durban, and some rich Chinese people had a lot of business dealings with him, and it was said that his credit was quite good, so when Bai Jingshan looked for a friend to find an arms dealer, his friend recommended this Harrison for the first time.

Harrison's surname looks straightforward, and he didn't talk nonsense after seeing Li Zhigao and them come in, so he directly asked Li Zhigao what he wanted, and also took a picture album to Li Zhigao to see, which was full of pictures, descriptions and prices of various weapons, all of which his company had.

When Li Zhigao put forward what he wanted, he gave relevant instructions, according to him, AK47 This old product has long been out of production, not only the price is high, but also the surname can not be good, AK is generally said here, are AKM assault rifles, AKM is not only better than AK47, more advanced technology, and due to the improvement of the production process, the price is not much more expensive than AK47, so whether it is introduced or produced by itself, it is basically AKM this kind of gun.

The arrival price of AKM from Russia is now $520, which is a bit high, so he recommends AKM from South Africa. The price of this South African product is 430 US dollars, and the price of a brand new gun comes with 60 rounds of ammunition, which is said to be the market price, of course, this is brand new, if you don't mind the old goods, 80% of the new ones cost 380 US dollars, and 60% of the new ones only cost 250 US dollars, of course, non-brand new guns do not come with bullets.

However, if Li Zhigao still wants to be cheaper, then he recommends the Chinese Type 56 submachine gun made in South Africa, the new market price of this gun is only 320 US dollars, and the new price is only 260 US dollars, each gun comes with a three-edged bayonet and 60 rounds of ammunition, and there are discounts for buying in large quantities, of course, although the 56 rifle is cheap, but the surname can be worse than AKM, not only low accuracy, but also low life, that is, it is more reliable, and the price is not much lower, and the overall surname price ratio is not as good as AKM.

As for the RPG7 rocket launcher, I heard that Li Zhigao mainly bought it as a fire suppression weapon, aimed at unprotected infantry, not to work with tanks, he suggested that it was better to buy a South African-made MGL-140 grenade launcher.

According to Harrison, although the RPG7 rocket launcher is famous, this thing is inconvenient to move, troublesome to load, small amount of ammunition, and poor accuracy, that is, the launch distance is not bad, and the price is cheap, so it is usually aimed at armored targets and fixed buildings, but it is not competent for the role of long-lasting fire support, and it is basically useless in the regular army.

The reason why terrorists like RPG7 is mainly because they can use it to run and run regardless of the fight at a long distance, and they don't care about accuracy at all, after all, terrorists usually don't dare to fight directly with the regular army face to face. In other words, RPG7 is not suitable as a fire suppression weapon at all, and it cannot be compared with the MGL-140 gun grenade launcher in terms of firepower, after all, the MGL140 has a shell capacity of six rounds, and it can fire six grenades in three seconds, and it is easy to reload and easy to carry, which is much better than RPG7.

Another point to note is that although the RPG7 itself is cheap, the rockets are not cheap, three or five rockets are almost the price of an RPG rocket launcher, so in terms of cost, it is not suitable for continuous fire suppression of the infantry, and the MGL-140 gun grenade launcher is relatively expensive, a MGL140 can buy three RPG7 launchers, but the ammunition of the MGL140 is cheap, and there are many types of ammunition, which can be suitable for a variety of needs.

In short, the MGL-140 grenade launcher has good accuracy, strong firepower, light weight, easy to carry, high surname price ratio, has the title of "infantry gun" at close range, and there are many types of grenades fired, which can be blasting shells or armor-piercing shells, so the fire output strength of an MGL-140 is equivalent to the gun-mounted grenade launcher equipped with the entire infantry platoon, which can be said to be quite terrifying, although the launch distance is not as good as the RPG7 rocket launcher, and it is slightly inferior to the armor and buildings, but if you deal with a large number of infantry, Or this is the most suitable.

was fooled by Harrison for a while, Li Zhigao also felt that it seemed to be the case, the RPG7 bazooka is so long and a big guy, although the launch distance is relatively far, but if the soldier has not undergone professional training, the hair ** degree is basically unreliable, just like Xiao Yueben's grenadier canister, you have to rely on the soldier to understand, so it is really not as good as the MGL-140 grenade launcher.

Although a South African MGL-140 grenade launcher costs $680, the ammunition is still cheap, at least much cheaper than the RPG7 rocket, so Li Zhigao finally ordered a batch.

As for the Type 63 107 mm towed multiple rocket launcher, the 12-barrel rocket launcher imported from China now costs $50,000 a piece, and if you don't mind the quality, you can also choose the copycat version of the 107 rocket launcher made in South Africa, the range is closer, but it only costs $15,000 for one piece, buy a gun, and get 12 rockets.

Hearing this, Li Zhigao was stunned, and suddenly said: "Why is it made in South Africa again, and South Africa still produces copycat weapons on a large scale?" ”

"Of course." Harrison smiled slightly, "I understand the word shanzhai, what I want to say is that shanzhai is not a Chinese patent, in fact, these weapons like I said, we have local production, many small factories can produce them, which is one of the reasons why these weapons are so proliferated." Like the AKM I just said, they are all produced by large factories in South Africa, and although the quality is not better than the original factory, it is not much worse. If you don't want quality, it can be cheaper, such as the AK47 that is circulated in the outside world for 100 dollars, which is basically a knockoff from a small workshop. But I have a piece of advice, it's better not to buy weapons that are too poor quality, why, hehe, I don't say you know it, unless you don't care about the safety of the soldiers at all, you should buy something of good quality. ”

"That's right." Li Zhigao nodded, and looked at the album again, "Okay, just follow this, I want 500, no, 1,500 South African-made brand new AKMs, 300,000 rounds of ammunition." Another 100 MGL-140 grenade launchers, 1,000 ordinary high-explosive shells, and 1,000 high-explosive steel ball grenades. There are also Type 63 107mm 12-barreled rocket launchers, I want 10, plus 4,800 rounds of ordinary high-explosive rockets. ”

"No problem." Hearing Li Zhigao say this, Harrison nodded.

"Huh? This one! Li Zhigao suddenly pointed to a weapon in the album, "Is this a Type 93 60 mortar?" ”

Harrison glanced at it, and then nodded: "That's right, that's the Type 93 60 mortar, but this picture is also made in South Africa, although it is not as long as the range of Chinese origin, but the maximum range is also 5000 meters, the same 360-degree firing range has no dead ends, the maximum rate of fire is 18 rounds per minute, the whole gun weighs 24 kilograms, can fire a variety of ammunition, and the killing radius of ordinary high-explosive shells alone reaches 17 meters, which is very suitable for fire support weapons." ”

"This, what about the price?"

"The price is super cheap." Harrison smiled, "A cannon costs $5,000, and a high-explosive shell costs $20." ”

"Damn!" Hearing this price, Li Zhigao immediately said, "Then what else do I want to buy, how cost-effective is it to buy this?" ”

"It's different." Harrison shook his head, "The 107 rocket launcher is much more powerful than the 60 mortar, and the range is much longer. For example, the 60 mortar has only five thousand meters, while the 107 rocket artillery has a range of more than eight thousand five hundred meters. In addition to the difference in distance, the power and rate of fire are incomparable. For example, if you deal with a large number of infantry clusters, if you shoot twelve rockets at once, if the other side does not pay attention to concealment, a battalion is estimated to be finished immediately, and mortars are not so powerful, no matter how fast they are, they have to be fired one at a time. If you want to compare, 107 should be a battalion and regiment-level support weapon, a Type 93 60 mortar, and now it is at most at the company level. ”

"That's right." Li Zhigao nodded, "Then come a hundred of these mortars, artillery shells, 2,000 ordinary high-explosive shells, 1,000 high-explosive steel ball shells, and 500 incendiary bombs." Well, you calculate the general ledger, how much. ”

"No problem." As soon as he said this, Harrison took out a calculator, snapped it, and then showed it to Li Zhigao, "1,500 AKMs plus 300,000 rounds of ammunition, 100 MGL-140 grenade launchers plus ammunition, 20 Type 63 107mm rocket launchers plus ammunition, 100 Type 93 60 mortars plus ammunition...... Okay, all of them, a total of $1.88 million, well, in fact, you want more than that, but the first time we do business, I'll give you a big discount, and give you an auspicious number, one hundred and eighty-eight, how lucky. ”

"Sss Hearing that it was going to cost 1.88 million, Rao Li Zhigao was prepared, but he still felt a little painful, not to mention that the arms were huge profits, he thought about the 1.88 million US dollars in arms, and if the production cost alone could be one-fifth, it would be good.

"Well, you still have to find a way to produce it yourself, and if the scale of the war becomes larger in the future, it will be cost-effective to produce it yourself, and to play war in 1910, you don't have to have automatic weapons, semi-automatic rifles are good." Li Zhigao immediately thought.

"How about it, do you want it?" Seeing Li Zhigao frowning and thinking, Harrison urged again.

"It's coming!" Li Zhigao nodded, "However, I can't just listen to you, can I go to inspect the goods first?" ”

"No problem, let's go see it now." Harrison smiled even brighter, "I have an arsenal and a shooting range in the basement, I can take you to try it yourself, try it out, let's talk about something else, I guarantee that you are satisfied." ”

Next, Harrison took Li Zhigao and Bai Jingshan to the weapons depot on the second basement floor, and after opening a door, he saw that the walls inside were full of various weapons, including the AKM and grenade launchers that Li Zhigao wanted to buy, as for the Type 63 107 rocket launcher, because it was a heavy weapon, it was in another warehouse.

Rocket artillery and gun grenades or something, you can't test it here for the time being, the movement is too big, you have to go to the field to try, but here, you can try AKM.

Under Harrison's personal teaching, Li Zhigao played AKM and hit three magazines in a row before he stopped, thanks to his inexplicable increase in strength, this gun was controlled well in his hands, but the accuracy was still miserable, even when shooting, I didn't know where to shoot, and only single shots and point shots were barely enough, at least I could hit the target.

According to Harrison, the recoil of this gun is larger, the accuracy is naturally almost good, and it will take a while to get used to it at first, and if you get used to it, it will be pretty good. As a beginner in Li Zhigao, he is already doing quite well now. The characteristics of this gun are not accurate shooting, but simple operation, easy maintenance and quick to use, and the accuracy of single shot and point fire is also good, which is most suitable for rookies to learn.

Sure enough, after listening to Harrison explain a few key points and getting used to the recoil, Li Zhigao hit three more magazines next, which was much better than the previous results, which made Harrison a little surprised, and almost didn't believe that Li Zhigao was the first time to contact firearms.

Of course, it can't be said that he hasn't been in contact, Li Zhigao used to be in contact with 56 semi-automatic when he was in college military training, but that kind of gun is not the same as AKM, that is, it is a little similar when firing. In addition, Li Zhigao's physique is much stronger than in the past, and he has experienced teachers by his side to guide the key points, so that he can achieve such good results.

It feels pretty good, Li Zhigao asked to test the gun grenade and rocket launcher, although it was already night at this time, but in the face of Li Zhigao, a big customer, Harrison didn't mind this little problem, and took him to other warehouses to see the MGL-140 grenade launcher and 107mm rocket launcher, and taught Li Zhigao how to do this.

I also know why, Li Zhigao's ability to learn and comprehend these weapons is very fast, Harrison explained it again, he remembered the essentials, coupled with his terrifying explosive power, and then whether he made an MGL-140 grenade launcher or a rocket launcher by himself, he played decently, which surprised Harrison again.

You know, being able to hit AKM is nothing, and the MGL-140 grenade launcher can't see anything, but being able to shoot rocket artillery alone is the real skill. This is not to say how complicated the Type 63 rocket launcher is, it is purely related to strength. 107mm rockets are very heavy, they have no power, and it is difficult to carry rockets so flexibly, even if they are fired from trainer shells.

In the end, after playing with mortars again and mastering all aspects of mortars, Li Zhigao nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, these are good, that's what I want." However, as you may have guessed, I bought this batch of goods from Africans with very poor literacy, and for some reason, I can't ask someone to teach them how to use them one by one, is there any way to make them learn to use these equipment quickly? ”

"It's okay." Harrison smiled slightly, "The situation you mentioned is a common phenomenon here, so in response to this situation, we can also give a teaching CD, which is full of video teaching, which is a live demonstration of the weapon that I personally demonstrated, simple and easy to understand, and you can also play subtitles according to your needs, and even if you are illiterate, you can learn to do it just by watching the video, at most a few more times." ”

"It's very human, so I'm relieved." Li Zhigao smiled and nodded, "By the way, are you responsible for delivery?" ”

"Only for delivery to your warehouse here in Durban." Harrison grinned, "If we want to send it out of the country, or if we want to send it out of the city of Durban, we won't be responsible." Of course, you can send it out of the country if you have to, but the shipping cost has to be calculated separately, which is not cheap. ”

"Then forget it, you can just bring the freight to my company's warehouse, and I'll figure out how to transport it myself." Li Zhigao shook his head, and suddenly remembered something, "Also, ask one more thing, is it okay to use gold to pay instead of dollars?" ”
