139: Unlimited weapons! Quick, take away our grandfathers'

Chapter 139: Unlimited Weapons! Quick, bring out all our grandpa's generation of grenades!

“Our organization needs you to provide a large quantity of weapon equipment and ammunition.”

“A large quantity of weapon equipment and ammunition?”

Zheng Lixing’s face was filled with immense confusion: “Their organization’s ‘reward’ this time is weapon equipment?”

This reply was truly beyond his expectations.

The two of them had previously speculated that the reward would be gold and cash, and they had also guessed it might be various ores, minerals, or even raw materials, among other things.

But what they never expected was that the 'Great Wall Watch' Organization organization this time needed weapon equipment and ammunition?

Zhang Yuli pondered for a moment, frowning as he said, “The weapon equipment and ammunition they want probably won’t be that simple.”

Could weapons that such an organization would actively request be ordinary goods?

Even fighter jets and strategic bombers might not catch their eye, after all, they could even acquire a B-2 Bomber and transport it to Da Xia, so how could they be lacking such top-tier weapon equipment?

Unless…

The two old men exchanged glances, simultaneously thinking of a certain item.

Dubbed the most destructive weapon on the entire planet, perhaps that ‘big toy’ was what they truly desired?

“Even if they need long-range ballistic missiles, we must meet the requirements of this ‘organization’.”

“At most, we’ll define the scope of weapon usage; as long as they don’t attack without authorization, it’s fine.” Zhang Yuli immediately made a decision.

As long as the other party wasn’t trying to spark a full-scale global war, and only intended to use them for defense or in local conflicts, Da Xia could turn a blind eye.

Or, they couldn't launch them at major powers like the Eagle Nation; otherwise, a ‘devastating’ event like a Third World War would truly be too sinful.

“Hmm, let’s do that.” Zheng Lixing also agreed.

Clearly, the 'Great Wall Watch' Organization organization was fundamentally different from other countries.

Countries like Saudi Arabia and Persia had previously inquired multiple times about purchasing long-range ballistic missiles. They didn't even ask for the DF-31; they were willing to pay an enormous price for even the outdated first-generation land-based long-range ballistic missile like the DF-5.

However, Da Xia had politely declined them all, citing various reasons.

The ballistic missiles Saudi Arabia had purchased with enormous sums were merely medium-range land-based ballistic missiles, and even their launch required Da Xia’s permission to authorize a counterattack.

But for this organization, Da Xia would simply say: ‘Is this DF-31 not powerful enough? I have the newly developed and not-yet-commissioned DF-41 here; try this one, it’s much more powerful!’

After all, the importance of the Great Wall Watcher organization to the current Da Xia was self-evident.

It was Da Xia that couldn't do without this organization, never the other way around; this was a fundamental difference.

Zhang Yuli then quickly typed a line of text on the keyboard and decisively replied from the email backend.

“May I ask what weapon equipment and ammunition your esteemed party requires? As long as Da Xia possesses the equipment, we can provide it.”

This time, it seemed that the ‘middle-level employee’ sitting in front of the computer on the other side had already filled in the required items in the email.

So, less than twenty seconds after Zhang Yuli sent his message, a new email suddenly appeared before the two of them.

“This time, the ‘weapon equipment and ammunition’ our organization needs are extremely simple.”

“All grenades, automatic rifles, pistols, and other firearms or heavy weapons that Da Xia possesses can be handed over to our organization.”

“Grenades? Rifles?” Zheng Lixing stared at this unexpected reply, voicing his confusion: “Are they asking Da Xia to help manufacture brand new weapons? To have Da Xia’s military factories produce rifles or grenades?”

“That’s what I wanted to ask as well…” Zhang Yuli frowned.

The organization’s email didn’t specify a crucial piece of information: what kind of weapon equipment was needed?

Was it brand new? Or was it Da Xia’s existing standard equipment? Or did they need Da Xia to mass-produce specific types of weapons according to the 'Great Wall Watch' Organization organization’s designated requirements?

All these questions needed to be clarified.

With this thought, he quickly replied.

‘May I ask what firearms your esteemed party requires? Is there a general scope? What is the specific quantity?’

‘Da Xia will deliver the required weapon equipment and ammunition according to your needs.’

Soon, the other party replied again.

“weapon equipment and ammunition, regardless of their age, are acceptable as long as they are usable. As long as they are not weapons like the Type 38 rifle, which are too old and unsuitable for current warfare, our organization can accept them.”

“The same applies to grenades, heavy weapons, etc. For now, we do not require Air Force or Navy equipment.”

Looking at this email, the two remained silent for a long time.

Then, Zhang Yuli tugged at the corner of his mouth, revealing a hint of helplessness: “Regardless of how old, as long as it’s usable?”

“What ‘earth-shattering’ event does their organization intend to undertake?”

One must know that, due to the special circumstances of that year, almost all military factories across Da Xia were frantically producing weapons.

Even though many firearms, grenades, rocket launchers, and so on had become unusable and were destroyed or melted down due to improper storage, the quantity currently sealed in the Ammunition Depot was still a terrifying figure in the tens of millions.

This, placed in the era of World War II, would be enough to fight a global war.

“No wonder they came to us, Da Xia, for weapon equipment and ammunition…” Zheng Lixing finally realized with a sudden understanding: “Weapons of this magnitude… the commotion would be too great.”

No matter how deeply this organization had infiltrated the Eagle Nation, it would be impossible to secretly acquire such a terrifying quantity of weapon equipment.

Once large-scale purchases were made, there was a high probability that the Eagle Nation would detect anomalies, thereby exposing the entire organization.

And Da Xia, clearly, was the best choice.

Zhang Yuli thought for a moment and sent a message back.

“Da Xia will do its utmost to survey its weapon equipment inventory and then provide a detailed list of weapon equipment quantities.”

“Whatever amount your esteemed party requires at that time, we will provide it to you.”

It wasn’t that he was unwilling to pay all the weapon equipment and ammunition in stock as ‘rewards’ to the 'Great Wall Watch' Organization organization.

Rather, even he didn't know the exact amount of weapon equipment Da Xia had in stock.

More importantly, there were millions of Type 56 semi-automatic rifles alone. As for how many grenades were in stock?

Zhang Yuli couldn't remember clearly, but he vaguely recalled that the unit of measurement for them was in ‘billions’.

This stuff could pile up like half a mountain; you'd have to be able to transport it away.

Immediately, the email from the 'Great Wall Watch' Organization organization replied again.

“Our organization values the several technical ‘rewards’ previously sent at two hundred million usd.”

“Da Xia only needs to pay an equivalent amount of weapon equipment and ammunition; the type and quantity of weapons will be decided by you.”

Upon seeing this.

“Old Zheng, you immediately go to the General Armaments Department and ask how much stock they still have! First, get ten million grenades.”

Zhang Yuli immediately stood up, his face red and neck thick as he commanded: “I will go and request the highest level to formulate a comprehensive plan.”

“Alright.”

Zheng Lixing nodded and quickly walked out of the room.

In the afternoon.

At the General Armaments Department, inside the General Office building in Yanjing.

Suddenly, a hurried visitor arrived, directly barging into the office.

“General Zheng, why is this rare guest of yours visiting our General Armaments Department?” Kong Jianmin looked at the old man in front of him with some confusion, a hint of puzzlement on his face: “I haven’t heard of any recent dealings between our department and the Xia Academy of Sciences?”

“Or are you here to drink tea and play chess with me?”

“Less nonsense.” Zheng Lixing wiped the sweat from his face, somewhat out of breath, and said: “I ask you, how many grenades do we currently have in our Ammunition Depot? Give me ten million first.”

He had no time to chat idly with Kong Jianmin.

“Grenades? What do you, the Xia Academy of Sciences, need grenades for?”

“And ten million of them? Do you think the military factory is mine? How big of an order have you signed?” Kong Jianmin’s eyes widened.

Good heavens, what is the current production capacity of grenades in the major military factories? Ten million grenades are not something you can just produce out of thin air.

At this moment, he still thought that the Xia Academy of Sciences had signed a huge arms trade order with some country.

Although it was somewhat unusual not to sign with companies like North Weapons, there had been precedents before, so he didn't find it too strange.

“Even the grandpa’s generation of Type 67 grenades will do.”

Suddenly, Zheng Lixing’s words left Kong Jianmin stunned!

His face was filled with disbelief as he said: “Which idiot… which great benefactor is being so kind??”

Even Type 67 grenades are wanted? Isn’t this clearly helping Da Xia clear its inventory?

One must know, he had been troubled by this stuff for many years; only a few were consumed annually, yet the stock was terrifyingly large, making his scalp tingle.

Now that there was finally a sucker willing to buy these ancient grenades, how could he not be happy!

Immediately.

Kong Jianmin beamed with joy and said, “Ten million isn’t enough? Ask the client if they can buy more, I’ll give an 80% discount—no, a 50% discount to take them all.”

“Come on, bring out all our grandpa’s generation of grenades! It’s a complete clearance sale!”
