People in the Republic of China: Rising from the Fall

Chapter 188

Chapter 188: Buying Arms at a Cabbage Price! The Su family army expanded by 200,000 people? [Add more, ask for subscription].

Su Zheng spent $12.5 million on two heavy cruisers the Red Caucasus and two Type 56A destroyers… There are four warships in total, which can be regarded as a big leak.

Or make a lot of money.

Although the heavy cruiser Red Caucasus and the Type 56A destroyer are retired warships, at normal market prices, $12.5 million will certainly not buy four warships.

But it’s 1992 and it’s different.

During this period, Uzbekistan was in economic collapse, social turmoil, the army was very short of money, and Okski was also smuggling and selling arms.

Not a normal transaction.

In such an environment, the heavy cruiser Red Caucasus and the destroyer Type 56A will naturally not be too expensive. So Su Zheng chose to travel to this point in time and could pick up leaks at will.

The price of the heavy cruiser Red Caucasus and the destroyer Type 56A was set, then the next thing was to set the price of other weapons and equipment.

Su Zheng looked at Oksky and said, “General, where is AK47?” How much is a handful. ”

Okski: “$200 a handful, 1,000 rounds of ammunition.” ”

For the price of AK47, Su Zheng is also roughly understood in 2022, and the genuine AK47 sells for $300.

In some troubled gun-ridden Middle East regions, it only costs $150, and another 300 to 500 rounds of ammunition are given.

It’s 1992, and AK wants to sell it for $200 a handful, which is really too expensive. Crazy, right?

After all, the purchasing power of the dollar in this period is still very strong. Why not grab 23?

Su Zheng directly counteroffered: “$30 a handful, bullets give away 2,000 bullets!” ”

Okski readily agreed: “Deal.” ”

？？？

So cheerfully agreed?

Su Zheng was stunned, and he suspected that his price was high.

But for Su Zheng, it is not a loss, 30 dollars an AK47, and 2,000 rounds of ammunition. Earned.

Su Zheng: “General Oxsky, the RPG-7 bazooka is cheaper, I don’t ask for a price, just $100, equipped with 10 shells, okay?” ”

The RPG7 is a rocket-propelled grenade, a true anti-tank weapon, often referred to as a bazooka. Due to its high cost performance and simple imitation, many countries and regions favor RPG7.

From the price point of view, the imitation RPG7 in many countries costs 10,000 yuan, and you can get it for only about 5,000 yuan in the smuggling link… Not even as good as a mobile phone.

Now Su Zheng is asking for $100, which is also a reasonable price. After all, there are still 10 rocket shells.

Oksky is smuggled and trafficked in these weapons and equipment, and the price will naturally be lower. Under normal circumstances, you can’t buy an RPG7 and 10 shell for $100.

But now is the special case. It’s really a cabbage price.

Okski was also not polite and nodded: “Okay, no problem!” ”

“The price of the T34 tank is also very affordable, just $30,000, with 10 units of artillery shells! How is it? ”

Su Zheng smiled and said: “General Oksky, T34 as the best tank in World War II, the price of the T-34 tank in 1941 was 269,000 rubles, the price in 1942 was 193,000 rubles, and the price in 1945 was 135,000 rubles.” ”

“It’s 1992, and the T34 tank that has been basically retired costs $30,000, which is still relatively high, right?”

“I don’t haggle much anymore, $10,000 a piece! Plus 10 units of artillery shells. ”

Oxsky: “Okay, no problem. ”

“The MiG-15 fighter offered $100,000 with 10 units of artillery bullets, Mr. Su… You can’t haggle for that. ”

The price of the MiG-15 fighter is $100,000, which is quite appropriate. A jet fighter, after all.

Su Zheng nodded and said, “Okay, then I won’t haggle, $100,000 is $100,000, I won’t bargain… But this Katyusha rocket launcher is a little cheaper, right? ”

“In this way, the Katyusha rocket launcher vehicle is 10,000 US dollars a piece, and the shells are given five bases, okay?” In addition, if you buy ammunition alone, it is 50 dollars a piece! ”

Because of its powerful firepower, Katyusha rocket artillery once had the title of “King of Artillery”.

In fact, there are still quite a few improved versions of Katyusha rocket artillery in Ukraine to equip the troops, and the price is not cheap. Even when Katyusha rocket launchers were first manufactured, the price was very expensive.

In foreign wars, the Chinese state was once equipped with Katyusha rocket launchers… It is worth mentioning that at that time the cost of one Katyusha rocket was equivalent to 8 taels of gold, for which our army cherished each rocket and threw it into the battlefield only when necessary.

It uses a variety of orbital directional devices, which can be launched by igniting the tail of the rocket, and the warhead of the rocket is equipped with high explosives, which explodes once it lands on the ground, and the explosion is powerful.

The Katyusha rocket launcher can be equipped with sixteen rockets, with a speed of up to 355 meters per second, can reach a distance of up to eight kilometers, can launch all the rockets in ten seconds, and is also very effective in continuous combat – it takes only six or seven minutes to reload ammunition. Thus, Katyusha became a well-deserved “king of firepower” of land warfare during World War II.

Having Katyusha rocket launchers, then it is possible to overcome the fear of insufficient firepower.

But now it is 1992, although the Katyusha rocket launcher has not been completely decommissioned, but it is not so expensive, and the price of Su Zhengkai is relatively reasonable.

To be precise, Su knew that $10,000 could buy a Katyusha rocket launcher car and shells. It can’t be bought under normal circumstances, but it can be bought in such troubled times.

Not bad.

Okski also did not bargain, nodded and said, “Okay, no problem!” ”

The last thing that was finalized was the DK heavy machine gun… It was determined that the price of the DK heavy machine gun was $ 100 with 1000 rounds.

The price of the DPM light machine gun was $ 150 with 1000 rounds.

These are the results of bargaining and are relatively cheap. Normal market prices are certainly not available for DK heavy machine guns and DPM light machine guns.

Su precisely determined the price of all weapons and equipment.

After the price was determined, Okski looked at Su Zheng and asked, “Mr. Su, what is the number of weapons you want?” I’m ready to prepare. ”

The price is determined, and then the number of individual weapons is next.

Su Zheng thought for a while and said: “I want 100,000 AK47 rifles, 1,000 RPG-7 rocket launchers, 100 T-34 tanks, 50 MiG-15 fighters, 100 Katyusha rocket launchers, 5,000 DK heavy machine guns and 10,000 DPM light machine guns!” ”

“In addition, two heavy cruisers of the Red Caucasus and two Type 56A destroyers have been identified.”

This is the list of weapons that Su is about to buy.

It can be said that with these weapons and equipment purchased by Su Zheng, it is enough to equip 200,000 people. That’s 200,000 people.

This is a huge force. Quite scary.

Although the Su Family Army has only expanded to 5,000 people, it is still far from 200,000 people.

However, it was not easy to come to Uzbekistan, which bought weapons in 1992, and Su Zheng definitely wanted to buy more advanced weapons and equipment in case of emergency.

Ten thousand steps back, if 550 of these weapons were sold until 1924, they could all make a profit. After all, Su Zheng is also a bad master.

This time, the versatile space with him has been expanded to a volume of 1,000 meters in length, width and height, which is enough to hold these weapons.

If the ever-changing space is not upgraded, it is estimated that Su Zheng will really not be able to buy the heavy cruiser Red Caucasus and the Type 56A destroyer… After all, these warships are more than 100 meters long, and the ever-changing space cannot be placed.

Now the volume of the variable space is 1 billion cubic meters, which can fully accommodate these weapons.

Hearing Su Zheng report the list of weapons to be purchased, the smile on Oxsky’s face became even stronger, “Okay?”….. No problem, Mr. Su gave me ten days to prepare! ”

“Ten days later, we paid with one hand and delivered with the other.”

This is a big customer.

For Okski and the Ukrainian army troops, who are short of money, it is the rich man and the chaebol.

Oksky is also a straightforward person, and he did not let Su Zheng give much deposit, which also showed sincerity. Full of sincerity.

Su Zheng: “Okay, no problem. ”

After some discussion, the price and quantity of weapons, as well as other matters, were finally finalized. This arms sale can be regarded as a successful cooperation.

Andrew, as the matchmaker, raised his glass with a smile on his face and said, “Mr. Su, General Oxsky, congratulations on your successful cooperation, come, let’s toast!” ”

“Cheers!”

Su Zheng and Okski also raised their glasses.

The three of them clinked glasses, drank this cup together, and wished them a happy cooperation.

This time, Su Zhenglai came to Ukraine in 1992 to buy weapons and equipment, basically there was no big problem, the channel was opened, and the next thing was to wait for the delivery PS: plus more, an automatic subscription plus one chapter, a tip plus one more chapter… Do what you say, thanks.
