Chapter 206: The Arms Deal

Chapter 206 Arms Dealing

Arabi frowned, arms are a sensitive thing! Moreover, the current Egyptian army is indeed short of weapons and equipment! Especially in the face of the British, who have become more and more disgusted with the current situation in Egypt, having more weapons will undoubtedly be able to defend their own country, as well as the powerful weapon of the motherland party that he has worked so hard to build! Thinking of this, he can't help but feel a little interested in it!

Looking at the look on his face, Aston immediately said obediently: "The Snyder-Enfield rifle has two hundred rear-loading single-shot rifles, two 57mm rear-loading guns, and three hundred shells!"

"Artillery?" Although it is not too difficult to buy and sell rifles, if you want artillery, it is not easy!

"Yes, in order to increase the trust between our two sides, we have brought two artillery pieces this time! Of course, if the leader needs more, we can provide it!" Aston said with a light smile! In a series of wars in Portugal, Huoshan captured a large number of 11mm caliber Enfield single-shot rifles, as well as a large number of 57mm and 75mm caliber guns, but the system of these guns is different from the 70mm caliber infantry guns that Huo's army now uses, and the models are mixed, and many are front-loading guns!

Although the Huo Jiajun no longer looks down on these artillery, in this era, it is not outdated, and it is still a powerful army support weapon! Now the king of firepower in war!

"Oh, I wonder how many weapons you can provide?" Alabi asked, with some interest.

"Hehe, we don't have many weapons. 180,000 Snyder-Enfield rifles and 127 57mm guns. There are 165 75mm field guns, and we also have 50 million rounds of 11mm lead bullets, 500,000 rounds of 57mm caliber artillery shells, and 1 million rounds of 75mm caliber artillery shells! I think this amount of ammunition is enough to equip the Egyptian army of His Excellency the Leader!" Looking at the surprised faces of the people around him, the Aston god said indifferently! So many weapons are already all the family resources that the Huo family army can come up with! Of course, now the earthen guns and earth cannons inside the Qing Dynasty are not counted! No one wants that thing in the international world!

"Huh!", after hearing these words, Arabi couldn't help but stand up from his seat directly with the surprise in his heart. His eyes looked straight at the middle-aged white man in front of him with a confident face, and after looking at him repeatedly, he took a deep breath and sat down slowly! Although Egypt is close to Europe, it is not too difficult to obtain weapons and equipment, but there are so many arms deals, not to mention whether any country can come up with them. The British Empire's ambition for this place is already well known to all countries in the world, and no country has risked offending the British to sell rifles and even artillery to Egypt on a large scale!

It is precisely because of this that Alabi confirmed with some doubts: "Are you sure that what you said is true?

"Oh, the leader need not be suspicious, if Your Excellency really needs to. I can muster 20,000 rifles, 50 cannons, and a large quantity of ammunition to Egypt in three days!

Hearing his words, Muhammad Arabi nodded in understanding, although there was still some doubt in his heart, but he had already shown the look on the face of the person in front of him. It didn't look like he was lying! Thinking of this, Arabi must have thought of it. Looking at the somewhat mysterious middle-aged man sitting next to him, he smiled and said, "If you really have so many arms, then I will ask for them all!

"Of course, we will not let His Excellency the Leader suffer! A Enfield rifle with two hundred rounds of ammunition is £15, a 57mm gun with fifty rounds of ammunition is £800, and a 75mm gun with fifty rounds of ammunition is £1,500!

After listening to his words, Arabi lowered his head and thought about it, although this price is slightly more expensive than the international price of arms, but there are not many sellers who can mention so many arms, so he can accept it if it is more expensive!

"We have all these arms, I don't know how long it will take for them to be delivered to our army!" Arabi asked with some anticipation in his eyes. Although it would cost four million pounds to eat such a large amount of munitions! However, for the Egyptian army, which is now in short supply of weapons and equipment, it has officially relieved their urgent need! Therefore, without much hesitation, Arabi made up his mind! Moreover, if the money is gone, it can be made again, but if it cannot keep the current motherland party, then what is the use of having more money!

"In just a month, we can put them all in the hands of the leader!" Aston was a little surprised to hear that his mission had been completed so smoothly!

"Leader, a friend of mine wants to compete with the sharpest soldier in your country, I don't know, okay?" Aston put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at Arabi's smiling face, and said in a calm tone.

Hearing his words, Arabi was stunned, and he didn't understand the meaning of this middle-aged white man's words!

"Leader, I don't know if you've heard of the Chinese People's Army?"

"Are you talking about the Chinese army that occupied the East Indies, defeated the Dutch and Portuguese armies, and captured more than 100,000 of them?" asked Arabi Sè, a little surprised.

"Hehe, that's right! This time, almost all of the weapons and equipment came from the hands of this squadron that defeated the Netherlands and Portugal!"

Hearing his words, Arabi had a look of surprise on his face, and now he understood the source of so many munitions! And at this time, the last trace of doubt in his heart was also put down! If it weren't for the war, that country would have been able to provide so many munitions in a month!

"I was able to get so many arms this time, thanks to the help of my friend, but this friend of mine has a hobby that is not too good, that is, he likes to find people to fight and compete!

Hearing these words, Arabi also understood what he meant! Immediately nodded to a sturdy Egyptian next to him with a big shoulders and a round waist, a height of nearly 1.9 meters, and a weight of more than 200 catties!

"Since you're in such a good mood, let my guards play with you!" Arabi said with a smile on his face and a hint of sarcasm in his tone. In fact, it's no wonder that he is like this, because no matter how you look at it, his height is only about 1.75 meters, and Huo Zhiguang, who is well-proportioned, is not the opponent of the Egyptian who is half a head taller than him and has a fierce body! Even Aston, who received the task, also pinched a cold sweat in his heart, although he has been in the Military Intelligence Agency for almost three months! However, he is not too clear about many secrets within the Huo family's army, and he only heard about the Dragon Tooth Special Forces for the first time when he was on this mission, and he didn't know the combat power of the Dragon Tooth at all!

Looking at the Egyptian who came over and made several laps than himself, Huo Zhiguang's eyes showed a thick contempt! Although his kung fu was not the highest among the dragon's teeth, it was not difficult at all to deal with this guy who had brute strength, was clumsy, and had difficulty moving!

Therefore, after announcing that it could start, Huo Zhiguang didn't even dodge, and directly hit the inner thigh of this Egyptian who was about to punch with a lightning-fast kick! The strong explosive force, and only the foot speed of the afterimage, made this unprepared Egyptian fall on the lobby like pushing a mountain of gold and a jade pillar, and then he held his right leg and howled like a pig!

This unexpected result shattered the eyes of the ground!

"This can't be!" said Arabi in a furious voice, with some disbelief in his eyes.

Seeing his appearance, although Huo Zhiguang didn't understand Arabic, he could roughly guess the meaning of his words from the expression on his face!"The next thing is to hurt them completely!" Thinking of this, he looked at Astor, who was sitting on the side and also looked incredulous, and said in a cold voice: " Tell them, let all the people in their hall go together, if they can win against me, then this time they will buy weapons and equipment with half the gold, but if they lose, then send 20,000 Egyptian troops to us to be responsible for training! Of course, the command of this force still belongs to them!"

"General, are you really going to do this? There are more than twenty people standing here now!" Aston said with a look of surprise on his face and a hint of worry in his eyes!

"Don't worry! Since I say this, then I am naturally sure of victory! Now you can do it!" Huo Zhiguang straightened the camouflage sè military uniform on his body, although because of the mission, his brigadier rank, armband, collar flower and anything marked with xìng were not worn, but this fierce momentum gave people full confidence! And the lightning-fast kick just now also gave Aston some confidence in him in his heart!

"Alright!" Aston said, spreading his hands and looking helpless.

"Leader, my friend just said that he wants to fight with these twenty or so of your soldiers standing in the hall now, and if he loses, then this time your arms purchase price will be halved! But if he wins, then you must take out 20,000 troops and hand them over to him for training!"

After listening to his words, Arabi's god changed, and it was the first time he had heard of such a competition!

Although he didn't understand the confidence that came from the other party! But from these words, he felt a deep contempt! This couldn't help but make him feel angry from the bottom of his heart! You must know that these guards were carefully selected from the hundreds of thousands of troops in Egypt! Each one of them was sharpened by one as ten! Moreover, the promise of halving the purchase price of the arms purchased by the other party made him very moved! This was two million pounds! Thinking of this, he agreed to it without much thought! As for the failure, he never thought about it! In his heart, more than twenty people fight one, and there is no reason to be invincible!
