Chapter 13 Million-Dollar Arms Sales Contract
Lieutenant General Benjamin's headquarters was located in the forest more than ten kilometers west of Luxon City, Ouyang Yu deliberately got up early in the morning, brought a platoon of soldiers, brought all the weapons he had on hand now, and arrived at the headquarters at about ten o'clock in the morning.
"Your Excellency General, good morning, according to your request, the commander will lead the team to come and ask for instructions. β
Ouyang Yu, who took off the complicated and cumbersome aristocratic lady skirt and changed into a neat German gray military uniform of the First World War, saluted Lieutenant General Benjamin Lizheng, because she won the honorary rank of the coalition army, so she could call herself a subordinate in front of Lieutenant General Benjamin.
"Major Ouyang, good morning too, please relax. Lieutenant General Benjamin returned the salute and addressed her with an honorary rank, then took his eyes off Ouyang Yu's body, pointed to the soldiers behind her and asked, "These are your soldiers?"
"Yes, Your Excellency. β
"They're all nice lads. β
Lieutenant General Benjamin, who has led troops to fight all his life, can see at a glance that the soldiers under Ouyang Yu are well-trained and disciplined, and ordinary coalition soldiers can't do this, so he can't help but praise him.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, General, for your compliment. β
"Well, I don't like to waste time, let's not talk about politeness, there's a shooting range over there, take your people, let's go to the shooting range to see how your weapons are doing? β
After speaking, Lieutenant General Benjamin didn't care what kind of reaction Ouyang Yu had, and took the lead in walking in the direction of the shooting range, Ouyang Yu hurriedly asked his soldiers to follow with weapons.
The range is located in a clearing in the forest, which is not very wide, but it is relatively long enough for a shooting range, and some soldiers and officers of the coalition forces are already preparing, placing a lot of humanoid targets, and building some breastworks.
"Let's get started. β
Under the orders of Lieutenant General Benjamin, the K98K rifle was first demonstrated, which was tested by a coalition officer, who first listened to Ouyang Yu's explanation, then pressed the bullet, loaded it, raised the gun, and shot it with a snap.
The five rounds were quickly fired, and the officer who was conducting the test was very uncomfortable with the recoil of the K98K after the shot, and walked up to Lieutenant General Benjamin with a salute covering his shoulder, which was hurt by the recoil, and reported: " This weapon has strong penetration and shooting accuracy, but the fire continuity is not good, it needs to be reloaded after five shots, and the recoil is too great, the shoulder is more painful after shooting, and the comprehensive performance is somewhat inferior to the MKIII rifle used by our army now, but because it is not a light bullet that can be seen, the concealment performance is better and suitable for ambushes and assassinations. β
The clerk memorized all the words of the test officer, and Lieutenant General Benjamin nodded expressionlessly and motioned for the test to continue.
The next test was the MP-18 submachine gun, the test officer loaded the bullets, aimed the muzzle of the submachine gun in his hand at the ten humanoid targets fifty meters in front of him, pulled the trigger with his finger, and a dense burst of gunfire rang out, and all 30 rounds in the magazine were fired in just a few seconds.
Because it was the first time that a submachine gun had been used, the test officer did not control it very well, but even this hit six of the ten humanoid targets at a distance of fifty meters, and its combat effect had already stunned all the coalition officers and soldiers on the scene.
"Hurry up and show me this weapon!"
The powerful power of the MP-18 submachine gun made Lieutenant General Benjamin can't wait to take a good look at it in his hand, took the submachine gun from the hand of the test officer, Lieutenant General Benjamin looked up and down and couldn't put it down, and even took a magazine from Ouyang Yu's hand and personally conducted a test firing.
"Hahahaha, good, good, good, such a weapon is exactly what I want!"
Lieutenant General Benjamin ordered 5,000 MP-18 submachine guns and 30 million rounds of ammunition on the spot, Ouyang Yu made a lot of money on this order alone, the MP-18 submachine gun system cost ten silver coins, the price she sold was 100 silver coins, and the price of 5,000 pieces was 500,000, not counting the bullets that also made money, no matter what bullet system sold for one silver coin and 1,000 rounds, Ouyang Yu also increased the price tenfold, 1,000 silver coins and 1,000 rounds, 30 million bullets sold for 300,000 silver coins, and bullets are fast consumables, 30 million bullets seem like a lot, but a battle will consume millions of rounds or even more, 30 million rounds of ammunition will be consumed in just a few large-scale battles.
The MP-18 submachine gun was followed by the MG-08 heavy machine gun, and this time it was three soldiers under Ouyang Yu who were tested, because at least three people were needed to use the heavy machine gun, and a certain amount of training was required, so it was Ouyang Yu's soldiers who were tested.
The three soldiers under Ouyang Yu carried the MG-08 heavy machine gun in a disassembled state and quickly entered the firing position, and it took more than ten seconds to set it up, the bullets were loaded, and the main shooter fired at many humanoid targets two hundred meters away under the order of the observer.
"Knock knock...... Knock Knock...... Knock knock knock...... Knock knock knock ......!"
After firing a cartridge belt, the machine gun team changed from short point shooting to long point shooting and non-stop shooting according to Ouyang Yu's order, so that Lieutenant General Benjamin and the coalition officers and soldiers present fully understood what is the grim reaper on the battlefield.
"How many of these weapons do you have?!"
Lieutenant General Benjamin grabbed Ouyang Yu's shoulders with red eyes and asked loudly, Ouyang Yu was taken aback by him, and didn't dare to say that he stretched out his finger more and gestured to a six, "There are only six hundred at present, how many do you want?"
"I'll take all of you as much as you want!"
In this way, the deal of 600 MG-08 heavy machine guns and 100 million rounds of ammunition was reached, and the transaction amount was as high as 1.18 million silver coins, of which 180,000 machine guns and 1 million bullets.
Then the anti-tank rifle is a test of the anti-tank rifle, the tank of the Phoenix Empire has always been a lingering haze over the head of the coalition army, and Lieutenant General Benjamin was very interested in hearing that Ouyang Yu had another light anti-tank weapon in his hand that could be used by individual soldiers.
"Bang!
After two loud gunshots, two thick steel plates were shot out of two finger-thick holes a hundred meters away, and Lieutenant General Benjamin walked over and smiled with satisfaction when he saw the humanoid target behind the steel plates, which was covered with traces of anti-tank rifle bullet fragments.
"Your Excellency, this anti-tank rifle can only deal with light tanks in the Imperial Army, and I heard that the Imperial Army also has a heavy tank, and this anti-tank rifle is powerless. Ouyang Yu, who had been following Lieutenant General Benjamin, explained in a timely manner.
"I see, this rifle can deal with light tanks is already very remarkable, at the moment on all fronts, our soldiers on all fronts, when they see the tanks of the Imperial Army, they will be frightened to drop their weapons and run away, now with weapons that can deal with those iron guys, I believe that the courage of the soldiers will return, I order two thousand of these weapons. β
The system price of a Mauser M191813.2 mm anti-tank rifle is fifteen silver coins, ten times later it is one hundred and fifty silver coins, and two thousand is three hundred thousand, and the bullets of this rifle Ouyang Yu Lion opened his mouth widely, asking for ten rounds of silver coins, Lieutenant General Benjamin thought about it for a while, and issued one hundred rounds of ammunition for each anti-tank rifle, so that the price of 200,000 rounds of anti-tank rifle ammunition is 20,000 silver coins.
After the test of the anti-tank rifle followed by the grenade, the M1918 grenade, also known as the M18 grenade, is the most used grenade in Germany during the First World War, M18 is composed of pulling rings, pulling the fire rope, pulling the fire pipe, sulfur, mine officer and other parts. The working principle is to use a steel pipe to fill glass powder, roll a woolen copper wire into a ball and put it in the glass powder, one end of the copper wire is connected to the fire rope, the other end is connected to the fuse and sulfur, and the friction between the copper wire and the glass powder is used to ignite the fuse and sulfur. When using, unscrew the cover on the bullet handle, poke open the anti-risk paper, pull out the pull ring and put it on your finger to throw.
This wooden-handled grenade was thrown at a long distance and with great precision, and German soldiers could accurately throw themselves into the trench from a distance of tens of meters, killing and injuring a large number of enemy soldiers in the trench. At the same time, this grenade was in the form of a cluster, which could successfully blow up barbed wire, simple civil fortifications of the enemy, and even against British tanks that were still in their infancy at that time.
After listening to the introduction, he threw a few more and saw the specific damage effect, Lieutenant General Benjamin planned to purchase a large number of 200,000 M18 grenades at one time, the system price of M18 grenades was five silver coins, and Ouyang Yu increased it tenfold to five silver coins, and 200,000 M18 grenades were 400,000 silver coins.
The last test is the mortar, but the interest in the mortar Lieutenant General Benjamin is not very great, first of all, the range of the mortar is too close, only more than two thousand meters, the caliber of seventy-six millimeters makes the power of the shell not very large, there are many large and medium-caliber magic crystal guns in the coalition army, the demand for mortars can be said to be completely absent, but for the sake of Ouyang Yu's face, he still purchased fifty guns and a thousand shells, the price of the mortar system is fifty silver coins, ten times that of fifty is 25,000 silver coins, the price of the shell system is one silver coin and two shells, and a thousand shells Ouyang Yu sold five thousand silver coinsγ
Lieutenant General Benjamin and Ouyang Yu signed a purchase contract, Lieutenant General Benjamin paid the full amount first, Ouyang Yu delivered the weapon within a week after getting the payment, in fact, Ouyang Yu could deliver it immediately after getting the money, but she had an extra mind, and deliberately asked for a week's time, Lieutenant General Benjamin was not afraid that Ouyang Yu would run when he got the money, and he believed that she would not dare to run, because he was very relieved to call Ouyang Yu to go to the logistics department to withdraw the money.
Ouyang Yu made a lot of money in this transaction, the transaction volume of submachine guns and bullets was 800,000, the transaction volume of heavy machine guns and bullets was 1.18 million, the transaction volume of anti-tank rifles and bullets was 320,000, the transaction volume of grenades was 400,000, and the transaction volume of mortars and shells was 30,000, and the total transaction volume was 2.73 million silver coins, and Ouyang Yu's cost was only one-tenth, which could be described as a big profit, and she couldn't sleep for several nights in a row.
