Chapter 66: Urging (Monthly Pass Plus Update)
(Follow-up, follow-up, readers, dads, follow-up!) οΌ
The poet was going to help Faisal with the assessment.
The Golden Retrievers are going to conduct a pick-up training for the recruited people, after all, there is about to be a war, and the minimum communication problem has not been solved.
Wang Zhen is responsible for liaising with the C.I.A. and sponsorship issues, at least that's what he said.
He doesn't want to go out into the sun, it's fucking Iraq!
It's going to die.
Isn't the air-conditioned room fragrant!
The donkey had just been discharged from the hospital, half a wasted person, and he stayed in the name of helping Wang Zhen.
"Wang, aren't these all free, aren't you afraid that Faisal will find out?" The donkey asked as he lay on the couch.
"What do you mean by discovery?" Wang Zhen was using the computer to check information, wireless network, and mobile phone traffic, and said without raising his head: "Didn't I provide him with services?" Didn't he enjoy the benefits? What's so unreasonable for me to charge for the service! β
"As for whether I spent money on these things when I brought them, what does it have to do with him!"
"Besides, the CIA didn't give a penny of commission on this mission, what they paid was information and channels, and this is what makes us money!"
"Tell me, what's unreasonable?"
The donkey frowned and thought about it, then turned over and sat up, "When you say that, you really should be charged, it's not expensive at all!" β
"Angels still need a book of atonement, and the light of God will not shine on MSL's head!" Wang Zhen snorted.
Of course, Faisal will definitely not have anything good to say about it when he knows it in the future, after all, people are oriented to themselves, and they can't wait for people all over the world to be willing to help them for free, at least politicians.
Time flies.
The CIA still had a good sense of time, and the arms were delivered the next day.
50 Romanian-made AIM assault rifles, $4,000 each, with a total value of $200,000.
100,000 rounds of ammunition, all of which are Eastern European goods, are worth $2 each, with a total value of 200,000.
500 grenades, $60 each, a total value of 30,000. (The price of the M67 purchased by the U.S. military in 2021 is $64, and the manufacturer's cost is 44, but the price of Eastern European production is only $15.) οΌ
10 RPG launchers with 20 warheads with a total value of 20 thousand.
Five 60-mm mortars, each with one base shell, for a total value of $40,000.
Five 82-mm mortars, each with half a base shell, for a total value of $50,000.
A 60-mm mortar has a base of 60 rounds and weighs about 140 kg, and an 82-mm mortar has a base of 120 rounds and weighs 640 kg.
When the truck arrived with the cargo, Faisal, the Scythe Squad, and the 50 people recruited arrived.
After getting the list, Faisal seemed a little excited, it was the first time he had seen so many munitions, especially so many mortars.
Hearing Wang Zhen say that this batch of goods is only 540,000 US dollars, Faisal said yes repeatedly, satisfied from the bottom of his heart, "Wang, you are my friend, the closest friend!" β
Does he trust Wang Zhen 100%?
No, he has his own channels to know the 'market' price of arms in Iraq, and he also knows what the armaments of ordinary armed forces are like.
It's basically an AK per person, and as for grenades, you basically don't have to think about it, mortars and RPGs, don't think about it if it's not an armed force above medium-sized, you can't buy it.
As for this armament configuration, Faisal did the math, armed with a hundred people, it was all elite configuration!
What's more, this batch of goods is the boutique of large factories in Eastern Europe, and it is not comparable to the goods of the small workshops of the poor man and Pakistan Railway.
Regardless of whether this kind of high-quality supply can be found, these arms are thrown on the market, and some people want 60-620,000 US dollars!
More than 600,000 US dollars, the average price of crude oil in 2014 was 98.97 US dollars a barrel, even if the smuggling market price is only 10,000 barrels, Iraq, a single oil well produces more than this number in a day!
Here, money is never a problem, the question is where the arms come from, especially good ones!
The United States, Britain and the Iraqi government are very strict in their control over arms smuggling!
Don't laugh, really.
If relaxed, within a month, Iraq will have an AK in its hands.
Just because there are attacks and fighting at all levels in Iraq every day, you should not feel that customs control is lax, and that the United States is the best in the world and that everyone will listen to every word.
No, there are too many countries that are staring at the United States.
It seems that Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in the Middle East have a very good relationship with the United States, and they are very obedient and wear a pair of pants.
In fact, where is the most anti-American region in the world?
It's not South America, it's not Asia, it's not Africa, it's not Lao Maozi, it's not Huaxia......
It's the Middle East!
To get back to the point, the arms were in place, and Faisal was extremely satisfied with the speed, quality, and quantity, and he felt Wang Zhen's sincerity.
In Faisal's naΓ―ve idea, there were so many shells that even two could kill one militant and kill them all.
Wang Zhen laughed, in fact, he was also shocked, he didn't expect the CIA to spend so much money, which shows the importance of this channel.
Everything is ready, only the whole training is missing.
50 people, unfamiliar, can't be pulled directly to the battlefield, fighting is not child's play, not a game, not a simple pile of people or equipment.
But as it turns out, nothing is impossible.
Within half an hour of receiving the goods here, John made a phone call.
"What? Departure now? Wang Zhen looked serious, "Don't be kidding, okay, I don't understand the language, I don't have a command system, I don't know the terrain, I don't know the opponent's personnel and weapon configuration, I don't know anything, and I still have to attack with an absolute disadvantage in numbers?" β
"It's not funny at all!"
John was silent for a while, and his tone softened, "King, I know all this, I understand that we can ignore the economic loss, but every day of delay is a heavy blow to our reputation, and we must immediately give the harshest counterattack." β
Wang Zhen stomped his foot hard, this is the fucking problem, feeling that most of the time, the war is not the war itself.
How did all those inexplicable defeats in history come about?
Most of them happened because of factors other than the war.
Hanging up the phone, Wang Zhen went to find the golden retriever with a black face.
After listening to the request over there, everyone's face was not good, this is the sorrow of ordinary soldiers, they can't decide anything except go to the battlefield, and they don't know what they died for.
This incident stimulated Wang Zhen a lot, very much, and made him have the idea of making his own decisions.
Since there is no way to prepare, let's go, Wang Zhen found Faisal and said, Faisal immediately agreed, even those Iraqis who had just received weapons and had not had time to get familiar with them did not feel that there was any problem.
Isn't it for the purpose of war?
What's the problem?
What's more, the equipment is still so well-equipped.
These guys don't even know who they're fighting, and they don't ask.
What Wang Zhen is worried about is something that only the regular army needs to consider, and the armed forces everywhere in Iraq do not need this......
The trucks delivering the munitions did not leave, and most of the things that had just been moved down were moved again, and Faisal borrowed a lot of cars for transportation, and simply ate some individual rations, and the group went all the way south.

PS: This month is still a monthly pass of 200, plus a new chapter!
Fight!
