Chapter Seventy-Six: The Beginning of the Navy
The positive effect of the bold payment method is that Ivan not only promised to give a good discount on the torpedo boat and the arms pulled on board, but also helped to transport it to the private dock in Mombasa, which belongs to Yang Hao's name, and promised to provide a 24-hour security period.
This means that within 24 hours, even if Yang Hao unloads a shipload of weapons capable of subverting the Kenyan regime in his private dock, no one will come to check it, giving him enough time to sweep away the traces of a qiē. This favor is quite not small!
Ivan's generosity was not for nothing, Yang Hao then placed a larger order with him, a rare commodity that can bring huge profits.
Tens of thousands of Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, thousands of AK47s, and tens of millions of rounds of 7.62x39mm ammunition are enough to arm a division's light and heavy machine guns and artillery.
That's not all that surprising. The most interesting thing is a whole line of production lines and related technologies that can produce bullets of various calibers, a production line and technology that can produce shells of various calibers, design drawings of various pre-World War II small arms, such as Mosinagan, K98K, Lee. Drawings of classic rifles such as Enfield and Springfield, as well as drawings of 56 and a half, AK47, Belgian FAL7MM automatic rifles, and so on.
In addition, there are samples and technologies of various infantry guns of the same period, naval guns of various calibers of dreadnoughts, early torpedoes, equipment for electronic tubes, and various design drawings of warships in the decades leading to World War II.
In addition, there are large quantities of steel for guns that have been stress-treated, and a large number of propellants, primers, high-power charges, quercus and so on are required for the production.
In this, many things, such as dreadnought drawings, have long expired and are not so valuable, production lines and the like, and the price of equipment made in China is even cheaper, but most of the heavy weapons of the World War II era have to be stolen from museums, after all, most of the warships have been disintegrated, and no one will build them in the foreseeable future.
Ivan asked him in a joking tone: "Are you planning to open an antique weapons exhibition hall?" ”
Yang Hao replied: "In fact, I own one of the most professional and large-scale film and television bases and props companies in China. We will produce a series of antique warships, artillery and whatever, indispensable. ”
A film and television props company? And real weapons? Is there any necessary connection here?
Ivan became more and more unable to see his true intentions, but it did not prevent him from taking this strange order, which was still paid for in gold. For an arms dealer, you can't pick and choose what your customers want, as long as you have money to make, even if he goes to buy an atomic bomb to blow up the White House, it doesn't matter to him.
Secrecy is needless to say, a Chinese tinkering with so many sensitive things is enough to arouse the attention of the national security department, and Yang Hao does not want to live under the microscope all day.
Of course, Ivan didn't want such a high-quality customer to be robbed, and he wished that no one would ever know about the whole deal. And as far as it is concerned, Yang Hao's cooperation is very pleasant, and there is no sensitive and unconventional killer that makes him embarrassed. Those things are also things that Ivan doesn't want to touch.
If you can't get the approval and support of the five gangsters, you must not touch things that may cause regional affairs to lose balance and affect geopolitical changes between countries. A bad one will make itself evaporate from the world.
After negotiating business, Yang Hao and his entourage took a step forward on Cessna and went to the stronghold in Mombasa to wait for the goods to be delivered.
James, who had always maintained the duty of a follower, said to him sternly after taking off: "Boss, I must criticize you for wantonly breaking the rules of the industry!" ”
Yang Hao teased him: "Are you unhappy that the gold didn't fall into your hands?" ”
An unscrupulous warmonger will only think about the so-called rules of the industry when he has nothing to do, everyone is in it for money, and things like means are completely unimportant.
The subtext was revealed, and James spread his hands without blushing: "You see, this is not just my opinion. You know, those things are so cute, they can boost morale a lot, and they can also cause internal divisions, and no one can resist the temptation! ”
Yang Hao's eyes glanced at the other mercenaries, and it was obvious that these guys, who usually took dollars, were also salivating for gold, so he laughed and said: "This is enough to show that your boss is a very rich and important person who is worth protecting with all his might." I have a lot of gold, but it takes enough loyalty and hard work to get it! ”
The mercenary captain, who had been silent, shouted angrily: "Dear boss! I can guarantee that no one can threaten your safety until we all fall! ”
Yang Hao patted James on the shoulder: "I believe in the vision of Mr. CEO, your hard work will definitely be rewarded satisfactorily." ”
As long as they are loyal, Yang Hao will never be stingy with gold as a reward. This group of people is an important node in his layout in Africa, and he must ensure that he will not betray and be bought. Mercenaries are people who work for money, and others are in danger of depreciation in dollars and pounds, but gold is rapidly appreciating, and which one is suitable can be seen from their eager eyes.
James has had enough of hard life, and finally has a generous boss, and he doesn't want to die halfway before his career has even begun. He is not a CIA agent, and the so-called patriotism is ridiculous for a warmonger.
In Yang Hao's blueprint, they will establish a solid rear base in Kenya, use the manor farm as a training camp and weapons storage warehouse, use the port of Mombasa as a transshipment center, and the next step will be to build a huge industrial area as a cover to expand the defense personnel. And then, when the opportunity is ripe, reach into Somalia and Ethiopia!
James can imagine that it won't be long before he will become a very influential big man in the entire East Africa, with a huge team of thousands of people under his command, using the chaotic Somali region as a training ground to create an elite force, and then expand towards the most profitable Middle East theater! When the time comes, he will be able to surpass the damned peers who once looked down on him and laughed at him, and become a predator!
As for Yang Hao, the big boss in the background, he will continue to hide behind the scenes and enjoy a harvest comfortably, such a choice is a great joy for everyone!
More than a dozen hours later, at about three o'clock in the morning Kenyan time, Yang Hao's fish speedboat quietly evaded the sea guards and drove into his private dock after rough camouflage. Subsequently, the entire container of weapons and ammunition submerged in potatoes was also quickly transferred to private warehouses.
Such efficiency is almost impossible to achieve under normal circumstances. Kenya's bureaucracy is the highest in the world, and the procrastination of its port management department can make all the perishable goods rot. But as long as you are willing to give money, they are unusually magnanimous, so naturally, the whole country has become an excellent trading area for the laundering of money from unknown sources.
After Yang Hao avoided everyone, he completely transferred the entire ship to the B plane, instead of projecting it on. It was a terrible problem for this thing to stay where it was, and he would rather make the others feel more and more unfathomable.
The same is true for all weapons and equipment. The gold given when he came last time was exchanged for the quality of the weapons provided by Ivan to a higher level. Not only is the arsenal of the mercenary team completely filled with the advanced individual equipment in the world today, but even those used by the B plane are greatly satisfied. It is foreseeable that in the next few months, no matter how Yang Hao expands, he does not have to worry about the delay of equipment.
After flying back to Nairobi, Yang Hao did not show up in any public appearance, drove back to the manor alone, crossed from the secret room to the second plane, and then quietly released the torpedo boat at the same time at night, in the place enclosed by Shijiu Harbor.
The 200-ton hull suddenly appeared on the water, and it was difficult to stir up any big wind and waves, but for Yang Haiwei, who came to receive it, it was enough to set off the monstrous waves in his heart!
From now on, he finally has his own battleship, his own power!
As a naval officer with lofty ideals, he wished to personally command a warship and a fleet for half his life, but in this world, that is an impossible dream. And in the second plane, in just one month, he quickly realized this long-cherished wish! Even if it's just a 200-ton torpedo boat, it represents a great start!
Driving the motorized rubber boat, the father and son boarded the torpedo boat, Yang Haiwei's hands trembled slightly, gently stroking every mottled paint hull, his eyes flashed with indescribable complex brilliance. From the bow to the stern, old AK176 naval guns, a new 40mm Bofors gun, twin 14.5mm heavy machine guns, a tall mainmast, and an egg-shaped HSAM20 tracking and firing radar.
Afterwards, the two entered the closed bridge, and in the command room, Yang Haiwei felt as if he had returned to the time when he had just entered the naval school more than 20 years ago and first touched the old battleship.
Although it is the same backward and ancient, it does not prevent the hot wave surging in his heart, these hundreds of tons of steel will become his mount, his spear, his sharp arrows to shoot at the enemy, his banner to conquer the sea, and spread glory and glory everywhere!
Yang Hao was quite unimpressed by his father's reaction, and pouted, "It's just a small gunboat, are you right?" ”
Yang Haiwei shook his head: "You don't understand. It's a pity, it's still too advanced for contemporary people! ”
The group of recruits he taught, not to mention that the foundation is too poor, and the electronic equipment on the ship is no different from the immortal law for the people of this era, and it is useless to exhaust yourself to death if you want to explain it to them clearly. Being able to allow them to manually operate the two automatic turrets without making a mistake was already the greatest luxury.
Yang Hao smiled: "What's there." Let them practice first, and wait for the moon to come down to our steam gunboats, and they will all be alive! Now, let's use it as a big killer in the nursing home and stop the field! ”
