142: Weapon list submitted! Damn, this is Daxia

Chapter 142: Weapon List Submitted! Holy cow, is Da Xia assembling an Army group for me?

The little progress made so far is merely a ripple in a calm lake.

This is far from enough; it can’t even cause direct harm to the Capitalists.

“Only by making them truly feel the pain, and letting everyone see the true face of ‘capital,’ can we consider it a success.”

Buller gazed into the distance with resolute eyes: “Next target, occupy Wall Street!”

Following this decision, the massive procession, numbering in the thousands, turned and headed towards New York City.

However, this time, Buller and Parker didn't plan to walk there again.

After all, New York is over four thousand kilometers from San Francisco. If the 'protest team' walked twenty-odd kilometers a day, it would take two hundred days of non-stop walking.

The hardships involved are not something ordinary civilians could endure, and most people simply couldn't afford such a massive time commitment.

However, flying directly to New York would seem too 'impetuous.'

So Buller decisively decided to take transportation to the next city each day, conduct a 'protest activity' there, and then continue to the next city the following day.

The entire journey was expected to take one month, finally arriving in New York, Washington, and the cost incurred was within most people's affordability.

At this time, with the big commotion caused by the march into San Francisco, this event gained more and more support.

Especially among students, due to the popularity of Facebook, this trend grew stronger among college students in Eagleland.

Meanwhile.

In Da Xia, it was exactly nine o'clock in the morning.

Yanjing General Equipment Department office.

Less than two minutes after work started, Zheng Lixing stepped into the building just in time.

He had just entered the office.

Kong Jianmin threw a stack of documents in front of him, letting out a long sigh: “This is the current general inventory of various weapon equipment. Except for some that cannot be moved, basically everything else is here.”

“You ask the client what weapon equipment they need, and they can choose directly from this list. The prices are already marked.”

“Also, this information must be kept confidential; it absolutely cannot be leaked,” he added.

This concerns the entire weapon inventory of Da Xia; once leaked, it could lead to extremely serious consequences.

If Eagleland were to find out, they could deduce Da Xia's approximate military strength based on this weapon inventory.

It wasn't that he was worried Zheng Lixing would accidentally leak this information.

Rather, if the client saw it and accidentally let something slip, then there would be 'big trouble.'

Hearing this.

“I can choose it myself; the client doesn’t need to see it,” Zheng Lixing waved his hand, taking the thick stack of documents.

Why would he need to ask the Great Wall Watch client? Both sides had clearly stated in the previous email that they only needed 20 billion usd worth of equipment, so he would simply purchase 20 billion usd worth of equipment.

To contact them again for such a small matter, others might even think Da Xia was 'slow' in its dealings.

“Rifles, heavy machine guns… these old tanks and self-propelled artillery are also needed.”

Zheng Lixing checked off items one by one according to the previous plan.

The entire Army's weapon equipment inventory was listed on it. Unless it was weapon equipment not yet officially in service, almost everything else was clearly marked, and he only needed to fill in a number for the quantity required.

“Also, 2 million Type 77-1 grenades, 3 million Type 82 grenades… and ammunition for various weapons, twenty basic loads, must also be included,” Zheng Lixing murmured to himself.

Since he was working for an organization as significant to Da Xia as the Great Wall Watch, he naturally needed to be extremely vigilant.

He aimed to spend every penny wisely.

“Old Zheng, are you really only choosing old inventory equipment?” Kong Jianmin looked at the equipment he was purchasing and couldn't help but inwardly click his tongue: “You should at least get some newer equipment!”

These were all twenty or thirty-year-old old-fashioned equipment. Although the arms trade order was for a large sum, if word got out, people might think Da Xia only sold 'scrap metal.'

Zheng Lixing glared at him and said grumpily, “Nonsense, the client specifically wants this kind of 'good quality and low price' equipment.”

According to the previous understanding, the cheaper these pieces of equipment were, the better, as long as they were usable. Buying new equipment that cost tens of millions of usd per unit, the client probably wouldn't be happy.

When he was almost done selecting, Kong Jianmin, after a rapid calculation, came up with a final amount: “All the weapon equipment combined comes to approximately 23 billion usd.”

Hearing this, Zheng Lixing raised an eyebrow and looked at him: “Your ‘client’ is helping your General Equipment Department clear inventory. Shouldn’t you at least give an 85% discount?”

“Didn’t I tell you the pre-ordered amount was 20 billion usd? Just waive the extra 3 billion usd.”

Kong Jianmin didn't object at all, saying with a beaming smile: “As long as these things can be bought, everything is negotiable.”

Let alone an 85% discount, he would even accept a 70% discount.

After all, these weren't new weapon equipment; these 'antiques' had been piled up in the Ammunition Depot for over twenty years, and their annual maintenance required a lot of personnel and effort.

Now that there was finally a buyer willing to purchase them, allowing them to 'shine' in another corner of the world, he couldn't be happier.

Not just him, but probably the entire Army would set off firecrackers for days and nights after the contract was signed. New uniforms and military boots were arranged in advance, and this time even multifunctional entrenching tools were provided in one go.

Just then.

Kong Jianmin leaned in again and whispered, “General Zheng, ask the client if they need used naval vessels and used aircraft?”

“We also have this equipment in Da Xia, and the prices are just as cheap and low, with guaranteed quality.”

After the Air Force and Navy heard the incredibly explosive news that 'the Army was about to sell 20 billion usd worth of various old equipment,'

Calls from both the Air Force and Navy kept coming to their General Equipment Department, working hard to sell their own old equipment.

On the other side.

Eagleland, inside the LLNL Laboratory.

Lu Ze, tired from a day of sightseeing in San Francisco, returned to his dormitory.

‘Lucy, that girl, I knew she was heavy!’

Lu Ze recalled the afternoon's scene, his face full of black lines as he complained: ‘The bumper car couldn't even move… she insisted on both of us riding together.’

Don't let Lucy's thin arms, slender legs, and mere 170cm height fool you; she weighed over 60kg. After all, the 'nutrition' on her body wasn't for nothing; it was enough to suffocate a person.

Plus, Lu Ze also weighed over 70kg, and the bumper cars for children simply couldn't withstand such a 'heavy load.'

As soon as the two of them sat down, they could only hear the engine roar without moving an inch, and they were 'mocked' by several children nearby.

Just then, suddenly.

A message popped up on the optical screen of his eyeball.

“Ding! You have a new email awaiting your review…”

‘Why is Da Xia sending me an email now? Could the ‘weapon equipment’ I requested already be ready?’

Thinking this, Lu Ze quickly opened his email and projected it onto the optical screen.

He clicked on the 'fresh' email that had just been sent a few tens of seconds ago.

Inside, he saw a detailed list.

“Following the successful cooperation with your esteemed organization last time, our side has inventoried the currently available weapon equipment.”

“The following is the weapon and ammunition for this 'reward' transaction: 4 million Type 77-1 and Type 82 grenades.”

“Should you have any other needs, your esteemed organization can contact us at any time for additions.”

Looking at this long list of weapons and the 'blood-pumping' numbers.

“Hiss… is Da Xia putting together an Army group for me??” Lu Ze gasped.

Just the ordinary light weapons alone were enough to scare people to death. There were a total of ten million old-fashioned grenades, and two hundred thousand various rifles and assault rifles.

Over twenty thousand Type 67 and Type 89 heavy machine guns and light machine guns, and even over two thousand sniper rifles and anti-tank rifles. Various full-power rounds, intermediate-power rounds, and small-caliber bullets totaled over three hundred million rounds.

(Muzzle energy exceeding 3000 joules is a full-power round; 2000 joules is an intermediate-power round.)

This could equip a nascent Army group, and even in World War I, it would have excellent combat effectiveness.

More importantly, these light weapons did not account for a large portion of the 20 billion usd; heavy firepower weapons were the main focus.

For example, Da Xia produced tens of thousands of Type 59 tanks, and this time, over a hundred were sold directly. There were also dozens of Type 79 main battle tanks, and a small number of Type 80 main battle tanks mixed in.

This was barely enough to form a tank regiment, not to mention various 155mm self-propelled artillery, armored vehicles, and so on. Even some old trucks were arranged, for fear that this 'client' would not have enough transport capacity to fully utilize the power of this armored force.

Da Xia was truly thoughtful, considering every aspect thoroughly.

“20 billion usd can buy so much?”

“As expected of Da Xia, always so generous…” Lu Ze smiled.

Although these weapon equipments were old, many had been stored in the Ammunition Depot for over twenty years without use, but the quality of military products was excellent, with no issues in terms of use.

If he were to buy brand new ones at normal prices, his 20 billion usd wouldn't even be a fraction of the cost of this equipment.

Any main battle tank would cost several million usd, right? Not to mention those light weapons and ammunition; Da Xia was directly selling them at cost price.

This wasn't selling arms; it was a complete clearance sale at bargain prices.

Thinking this.

Lu Ze decisively typed a line of text and replied.

“Our organization is very satisfied with this and will arrange for personnel to go to Da Xia for handover as soon as possible.”
