140: Open the Daxia weapons inventory permissions, come back

Chapter 140: Opening Da Xia's Weapon Ammunition Depot Access, Come Back McCarthy, They Actually Want to Surrender to the Communists!

They even want Type 67 hand grenades; where can you find such a great benefactor?

Whether it was the Type 67 or Type 77-1 and other old-style hand grenades, they had always been a headache for the entire General Equipment Department.

No matter how much they were consumed each year, they could never be used up. Just maintenance was a huge problem.

"If 50% off isn't acceptable, ask the customer how much they are willing to pay?"

"Price is not an issue. As long as they buy enough Type 67 and Type 77, we'll give them as many as they want." Kong Jianmin's eyes gleamed, and he solicitously poured Zheng Lixing a cup of tea.

If these could all be bought, he would even accept giving them away for free.

In fact, their General Equipment Department would even make a banner for this 'great benefactor,' as they could finally get rid of all these 'living ancestors.'

You know, even the last batch of these items was almost past its shelf life, and the enormous quantity was simply hair-raising, leading to the Military Commission's General Staff and the General Equipment Department deciding to scrap all old-style hand grenades in the next two years.

Now that someone was willing to buy them, he was naturally a hundred times willing.

However.

Zheng Lixing directly curled his lips, and after drinking it all in one gulp, he said, "Take them all? What would anyone want so many old-style hand grenades for?"

"And among those ten million, our active Type 82 and Type 86 all-plastic hand grenades must account for the majority. Don't try to fob them off with only Type 67s."

Although the Changcheng Shouwang (Great Wall Watch) organization had already stated in their email that as long as the weapon equipment and ammunition were usable, there were no many requirements.

However, Da Xia could not really use only 'Type 67 wooden-handle grenades,' such obsolete weapon equipment, as this might cause a rift and distrust in the cooperation between the two sides, which would be impossible to repair with any amount of money.

Zheng Lixing suddenly thought of something and added, "Rifles are also needed. Check how many are in the Ammunition Depot?"

"All at the lowest price, they need to be paired, and the bullet caliber and various weapon equipment accessories must be compatible."

After all, this was doing business for another organization, so he naturally needed to be more attentive, not sloppy for a moment.

Even if calculated at the ex-factory manufacturing cost, or even sold at a loss, Da Xia could completely accept it.

"I understand, the price will definitely be the lowest."

"What is the exact quantity they requested?" Kong Jianmin picked up his reading glasses and put them on, starting to write down the requirements on a piece of scratch paper.

He also knew that given these preconditions, the higher-ups must have already given their instructions in advance.

Even if this money could be earned, he should not earn it, or he would be asking for trouble.

Upon hearing this.

Zheng Lixing frowned and glanced at him: "Are there 500,000 rifles in the Ammunition Depot?"

"Yes."

Kong Jianmin immediately replied, "If they need Type 56 rifles, I can give you ten million of them."

Too many of these things were made, and the Ammunition Depot was almost out of space for these 'old antiques.'

"Why would anyone buy so many semi-automatic rifles?" Zheng Lixing glared unhappily, "Don't they need other weapon equipment? Just buying your hand grenades and rifles?"

"Heavy firepower weapon equipment is also needed, such as machine guns, rocket launchers, and even 155MM self-propelled howitzers, etc., must also be arranged for them, and in an organized manner."

Although he did not know what the Changcheng Shouwang (Great Wall Watch) organization intended to do with this equipment.

But the only thing Zheng Lixing knew was that for an Army unit to form combat effectiveness, heavy firepower was indispensable.

In modern warfare, hoping to accurately snipe enemies with rifles? That's almost dreaming. Enemies can't always engage in small-scale urban encounters and street fighting with you.

Even African tribes have started making their own rockets, so heavy weapon equipment firepower is essential.

Kong Jianmin gasped, "Hiss... such a big deal? What is this customer's pre-order amount?"

"Are they reorganizing an Army?"

Buying rifles and hand grenades doesn't cost much money. If you're willing to buy from the Old Maozi, you can get an 'offensive' hand grenade for a few usd.

But heavy firepower weapon equipment is different; they all require a lot of money. A single 155MM self-propelled howitzer costs tens of millions of usd, so how much money would that be?

Seeing his puzzled look, Zheng Lixing happily extended two fingers.

Upon seeing this, Kong Jianmin hesitated for a moment and then had an idea: "Two billion? That's not a small number..."

"How about you ask them if they want to form an armored regiment? Isn't that much more useful than any rifle?"

Two billion RMB is barely enough to set up a rudimentary armored regiment to play with.

Calculating at five to six million usd per tank, a battalion would only need less than two hundred million usd. Adding various artillery and armored vehicles, two billion RMB would be enough to set up a mechanized armored regiment.

No wonder they say their Army saves money?

If this were the Air Force, any fourth-generation aircraft would cost hundreds of millions of RMB or more, and two billion would not be enough to buy a squadron. As for fifth-generation aircraft, that's out of the question.

Not to mention the expensive top-tier bombers and transport aircraft, just one could be worth a heavy armored regiment of the Army.

As for the Navy? Is this money for beggars? If you spend two billion RMB, you might struggle to buy a few fishery administration vessels.

There's a dark joke that goes: "You Army actually lost an armored division? How embarrassing!"

"Unlike our Navy, which only lost one vessel this time, worth just over two billion usd."

The Navy, that's the real money pit.

A nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle group, worth hundreds of billions of usd, could be completely annihilated and sink to the bottom of the sea in a single day.

However.

Zheng Lixing seemed to smile somewhat 'contemptuously': "Two hundred billion!"

"RMB?" Kong Jianmin's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.

"No, the amount of the order this time is two hundred billion usd."

"Hiss... two... two hundred billion usd?"

Kong Jianmin was so stunned by this number that he couldn't even speak properly. Where did this 'living Buddha' come from, ordering two hundred billion usd worth of arms from Da Xia at once?

You know, currently, the entire Da Xia's annual arms trade orders are only a few billion usd, not even ranking among the top few in Asia.

These two hundred billion usd would be the cumulative arms trade sales from the previous decade.

Kong Jianmin remained stunned for a long time before finally recovering: "What other weapon equipment does this customer want? To spend two hundred billion usd?"

"Why buy rocket launchers and 155MM self-propelled howitzers? This money is enough to form several heavy combined arms brigades."

Two hundred billion usd, if all spent, would be enough to form several heavy combined arms brigades.

This combat power might not be enough to compete in the 'king's game' of Asia, but if placed in places like West Asia, the Middle East, or Africa, it would certainly be considered a powerful armed force.

"They just want various old equipment and heavy firepower weapon equipment. Are you, the General Equipment Department, selling them or not?!"

Zheng Lixing waved his hand, decisively rejecting this seemingly very 'tempting' suggestion: "If you're not in a hurry to clear your Ammunition Depot, I estimate that Northern Industries would be very interested."

He would simply do as the Changcheng Shouwang (Great Wall Watch) organization instructed.

Since they requested as many weapon equipment as possible, Da Xia couldn't just hand over a few combined arms brigades, could it? That would be a joke.

"Sell!" Kong Jianmin immediately slammed the table: "I'll give you an Ammunition Depot weapon equipment inventory list right away. All the equipment on it can be sold."

If they let go of a customer who was so selflessly dedicated, like a 'saint,' they wouldn't know how many years they would have to wait for the next big spender.

At the same time.

A special order, shortly after Zhang Yuli had just sent it up, was sent back again.

It contained only two simple lines of text, announcing Da Xia's highest-level notification regarding the Changcheng Shouwang (Great Wall Watch) organization's need to purchase a large quantity of weapon equipment.

[Open Da Xia's weapon equipment Ammunition Depot inventory list access, all departments cooperate.]

[If there is a demand, supply it at any time.]

The Ammunition Depot inventory list was opened to the Changcheng Shouwang (Great Wall Watch) organization, from flying in the sky to running on the ground, everything was available.

Even the price was not mentioned, which meant a willingness to provide these weapon equipment at a loss.

As Da Xia welcomed another round of morning Chaoyang rising.

Across the ocean, on the other side of the Earth.

Eagle-land was currently in the dead of night, the early hours of the morning.

On the outskirts of Orlando, across the sea from San Francisco, a crowd of over two thousand people had already gathered in a park, preparing to set off.

The number of people in the entire 'protest' team had more than tripled.

After all, the several cities they passed through from Livermore were all busier, so naturally, whenever this team passed through a city, it would attract more people.

At the same time, many people were moved and joined this unique 'protest,' approaching San Francisco, the most prosperous city in the Bay Area.

And this protest team, which didn't even have an 'organizing leader,' naturally attracted more and more attention as it approached within ten kilometers of San Francisco.

The San Francisco Chronicle, an authoritative media outlet, even uncharacteristically published a very short report.

[Livermore's 'protest' team has landed in Orlando, marching towards San Francisco with thousands of people.]

The various slogans they propagated were almost considered thorns in the eyes and nails in the flesh of the entire Eagle-land's Capitalist and privileged classes.

Every single one of these was aimed at their lifelines!

"Capital and ordinary people need to pay taxes at the same rate? Cannot use various tax avoidance methods?"

"Prohibit political donations? Prohibit high-ranking officials from retiring and entering major enterprises as senior executives?"

"How dare you make these demands? Do you think we, Eagle-land, are Da Xia?"

Now, if they hadn't found out who the mastermind was, why would they let this group make such a fuss?

Such outrageous remarks would typically be immediately arrested under the guise of 'causing trouble.'

But with two to three thousand people, how do you arrest them all?

Immediately, they couldn't help but recall the good old days of the 1950s, when there was no room for these 'rioters' to survive?

They couldn't help but shout inwardly: 'Come back McCarthy, we miss you!'

These guys' ideology is a bit too red; heavy-handed measures are needed!
