Chapter 268: The Greed of the Dead Merchant
Reaching a preliminary purchase intention, in the next half hour, Alexander began to inquire about the organization behind Lu Li, especially the environment around the gold mine, production, etc., basically eight out of ten sentences revolve around this theme. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He tried in vain to confirm the approximate location of the gold mine through the information revealed in a few words, whether it was the inaccessible Siberian region, the wild African region, the tropical jungle of South America, or the territory of some small backward country in Southeast Asia.
In addition to that, he wanted to find out what this unscientific list of arms was all about.
You must know that in the international arms trade, there are generally two main types, one is light weapons that are large and cheap enough, such as assault rifles, pistols, submachine guns, RPGs, and so on, which can be copied by almost anyone.
The people who buy these weapons are basically either terrorists or warlords and gangsters scattered in war-torn areas.
Their general characteristics are that they spend the least amount of money and arm more troops, and the combat intensity of the environment is also very low, and they can rarely encounter heavy artillery, helicopter gunships, tanks, infantry armored vehicles, and missiles.
The other is tanks, armored vehicles, large-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifles, airplanes, heavy artillery, heavy machine guns, surface-to-air and surface-to-surface missiles, rocket artillery vehicles, and so on.
Most of the people who buy these weapons are guys with some economic power, such as the big drug lords in South America, the long-established rebel forces scattered around the world, and the well-known IS, al-Qaeda, Taliban, and Houthis in the Middle East.
In contrast, the situation they need to face is much more complicated, so the requirements for weapons and equipment are also relatively high, after all, you can't always expect to use dirt and scum RPG rocket launchers to overturn more and more advanced gunships, jet fighters, main battle tanks......
What made Alexander feel puzzling was that although Lu Li gave this list, although he did not buy planes, artillery, armored vehicles, missiles and the like, he bought North Korean large-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifles by name, and he bought 50,000 rounds of ammunition at one time!
50,000 rounds!
It wasn't any other bullet, it was an armor-piercing bullet that was used to hit planes, tanks, and armored vehicles!
Normally, it is enough to buy a few hundred rounds, but who is idle and has nothing to do to buy 50,000 rounds at once?
For example, the most lucrative copy of the NTW-20 anti-materiel sniper rifle on hand sells for as much as $25,000 each, and the price of 20 mm armor-piercing rounds is also very expensive, $90 per round, and 50,000 rounds is $4.5 million.
Alexander couldn't figure out where in the world there would be so many helicopter gunships and armored vehicles as live targets for people to fight......
What's more, all this money can buy a full dozen advanced surface-to-air and surface-to-surface missiles, the latter of which has a significantly higher hit rate and is more threatening than the former.
In addition, the large-caliber Gatling is also a terrifying killing machine, most of the time this thing is only equipped on helicopter gunships, or armored vehicles, with an effective range of more than 5,000 meters, from gunships to light tanks, basically all of them are swept away.
Of course, he wouldn't be too surprised to buy just these two high-tech weapons, but look at what's left on the list!
Cheap shoulder-mounted bazooka!
Anti-tank mines!
Grenade launcher!
White phosphorus burning (burning) bombs!
RG60TB thermobaric grenade!
Obviously there is enough money to buy more powerful and safer artillery and missiles, but they all choose dangerous individual weapons, which can't help but remind people of Hollywood science fiction movies, those protagonists who fight against aliens.
To some extent, the death merchant's guess was not wrong, Lu Li really bought this batch of arms to fight against alien monsters......
In this way, two people with their own ghosts sat together and chatted for more than half an hour, and occasionally there was a burst of happy laughter, like a pair of old friends who had not seen each other for many years.
But only they know how many confrontations and traps are contained in these seemingly ordinary conversations.
On the one hand, Alexander was eager to find out the strength of the organization behind Lu Li and the location of the gold mine, and if he could fight it, he would directly grab it, and if he couldn't fight, he would find a way to provoke a war in the surrounding area, and then take the opportunity to make a fortune.
Don't overestimate the moral bottom line of an arms dealer, they are all a bunch of man-eating monsters who never take other people's lives seriously.
On the other hand, Lu Li is also talking openly and secretly, wanting to know which country is supporting the other party.
He does not believe that an international arms dealer will not have the support of a strong state behind him, let alone that an arms dealer with no background would dare to sell weapons and ammunition on the territory of the United States, the world's largest arms dealer.
But unfortunately, since neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp, there is not a word of truth from beginning to end.
At last Alexander felt that it was a waste of time to continue, and offered to propose, "Dear Jimmy, although it is a pleasure to talk to you, let's stop here for today." If I'm not mistaken, there is a beautiful girl waiting for you in the small square, and it is not a gentleman's act to keep a lady waiting. ”
"Hehe, then I'll take my leave. Remember, just give me a quote. With that, Lu Li stood up with a smile, took the initiative to walk on the SUV parked on the side of the road, and let the sturdy driver carry him back to the small square.
Seeing the vehicle slowly disappear at the end of the road, Alexander immediately hooked his finger at the bodyguard behind him, and whispered: "Send a few people to keep an eye on him! I want to know where he has been and who he has seen in the next three days." ”
"Understand, don't worry, boss. I had a little tracker inside his belt buckle and we could easily track him wherever he went. After saying that, a chilling sneer appeared on the bodyguard's cold face.
Now let's see who this self-proclaimed Jimmy is and which organization he represents. It's a gold mine, it's exciting to think about, isn't it? I didn't expect to catch a big fish by accident......" Alexander touched his chin and muttered to himself.
The bodyguard nodded slightly: "You're right, boss." I can guarantee that if you have 10 to 20 tons of gold in your hand, it will be a good hole card in any case, enough to make some secret private transactions. ”
"Then what are you waiting for, get into action, and if necessary, I authorize you to use the militia we support in Florida. ”
As the last word came out, Alexander waved his hand impatiently and stood up and walked over to a bikini girl who was enjoying the sea view on the beach.
He now felt like a fire was burning inside of him, and he desperately needed someone to vent to......
