"Our conditions are very simple, the bullets you give us cannot be old goods!"

Dura Khan raised his finger and said solemnly.

Bullets naturally have a shelf life, but this shelf life is very long, and in an ideal world, bullets can even be stored for as long as three hundred years.

This is also the reason why some military bullets will be used as hard currency in the apocalypse, because after the end of the world, human beings have lost the ability to produce military-gauge bullets, so those military-spec bullets left over before the apocalypse have become a non-renewable precious resource.

Of course, in fact, no one will really store the bullet for that long, and the actual situation is also very complicated, humidity, temperature, storage environment whether the packaging is opened or not will affect the life of the bullet, plus consumption, whether there can be a bullet stored for so long is also a problem.

And now there is still a scrapping mechanism in general countries, that is, to destroy expired ammunition, but considering the situation during the Cold War, perhaps the confrontation of several major powers must have hoarded a large number of bullets.

And the date of production of these bullets naturally varies from the fifties to the present, no way, the production capacity of the USSR at its peak was so amazing that in the Slavic civil war of the 2k era of the earth, the Russians were still greeting their opponents with shells produced during the Brezhnev period.

Dula Khan's request is really nothing to the quartermaster minister, and he knows very well what the ammunition reserves in his warehouse are, but when it comes to doing business, you have to bargain.

"New bullets are fine, but you'll have to pay more!"

"Money is not an issue, you need to be reinvented!"

Durakhan really doesn't care much about money, they are backed by Saudi Arabia, and money is not a problem at all, what they are afraid of is not that the Soviets are asking a high price, but that they don't sell it at all.

But now, Durakhan's judgment of Kravchenko is very accurate, this guy has sold his soul to the devil for money.

The two sides talked about the details of the cooperation and discussed the time and place of the transaction, and then, the Minister of Logistics, Mei Zizi, raised the teacup and poured a big sip, only feeling refreshed, he immediately led people away, leaving Dula Khan sitting in his place.

"Boss, check out!"

Looking at the cowering compatriots, Durahan didn't say much, and left the teahouse after leaving the Afghani.

And when he met with the logistics minister again, it was a few days later, and Durahhan handed over half of the deposit to the logistics minister, which was half of the prepayment they had agreed to make.

Then, Kravchenko ordered the 444th Regiment to carry out a small-scale combat counterattack, targeting all Afghan guerrilla targets in the territory, for which infantry and armored units were dispatched to carry out a sweep, this sweep was actually thunder and rain, and the Afghan guerrillas in the territory of the 444th Regiment received an order early to hide weapons and other suspicious items, and concentrate on being obedient citizens under the noses of the Soviets.

Therefore, the 444th Regiment's sweeping operation did not achieve any results except for eating a few mines that had been buried in the past and blowing up a few abandoned houses, but consumed a lot of ammunition.

Of course, if someone cares about it carefully, you will find that most of the 444 regiments consumed in combat operations are 7.62x54R machine *** and BTR armored vehicle 14.5mm machine ***, ordinary infantry has almost no chance to shoot, but the ammunition consumption reported by the logistics minister afterwards clearly states that the 7.62x39 bullets required for ordinary AK rifles are clearly written.

Although the Soviet troops in Afghanistan are equipped with a large number of AK74, the older AK rifles have not been eliminated, and many veterans are still using them, and most of the weapons in the hands of the Afghan guerrillas are such as SKS, 56 punches and AK and other things, AK74 rifles are relatively scarce, so what the Afghan guerrillas need is 7.62x39mm bullets, not the 5.45x39mm bullets used by the Soviet army.

These ammunition were originally placed in the ammunition depot, and the head of the ammunition logistics department carried the bullets to the truck for operational needs, preparing to support the front-line troops, and the combat troops in front were in full swing, and they didn't pay attention to how many support vehicles were driving behind them, anyway, it would be fine if the bullets were enough

Finish.

As for the drivers who drive, after the delivery of the ammunition in advance to certain nodes by order, and then unloading, there is nothing for them, for them, the bullets are put there, and the attacking troops themselves will come and pick them up, so

, they don't know whether their bullets are delivered to the front-line soldiers, anyway, the order is written there.

Relying on this opaque information, the logistics minister easily transferred the ammunition that the Afghans wanted to buy from the warehouse, and the ordinary Soviet soldiers knew nothing at all, only a few of his henchmen knew that these Soviet soldiers were responsible for guarding the bullets until the transaction was completed.

And the next thing is simple, Dula Khan and the logistics minister meet again in the old place with the final payment, and after the handover is completed, each goes back to his own house to find his own mother.

With the money, Colonel Kravchenko took the time to go back to Moscow and gave some small profits to the big man he found, who was also extremely satisfied with Kravchenko's superiority, and then provided Kravchenko with more inside information in private.

And the most important thing is naturally Afghanistan, and the Soviet Union's top leadership is already a sure thing to give up Afghanistan, just waiting to negotiate conditions with Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, the United States, etc.

Kravchenko, who learned the news, had no sadness or joy, but nodded faintly.

But after leaving, he was angry and didn't care that he was still wearing a military uniform, and vented his anger on the innocent trees on the side of the road.

Looking at the brightly lit city, the colonel wanted to cry but couldn't.

When he returned to his accommodation, the colonel used a whole bottle of vodka to put himself to sleep.

The colonel did not go into detail about the truth of this news, nor did he tell anyone, and it was not important to him!

After returning to Afghanistan from Moscow, the officers of the 444th Regiment noticed a slight change in their immediate superiors, who began to pay no attention to many things, and orders were also dealt with as much as they could, and when the Minister of Logistics reported to Kravchenko on the recent trade income, Kravchenko suddenly asked.

"Did they buy weapons?"

"No, head, why are you asking this?"

"Next time, ask them if they want a weapon!"

"But do that?"

"Do as I order, we've been here for a short time, so let's make as much as we can while we're still there!"

Kravchenko then stopped talking, but froze in front of the flag.
