86: Chapter 86: A massive "buying spree" of 7.5 billion yuan.

Li Yi didn't waste any time and immediately contacted Major General Zaha.

"Major General Zaha, the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles you purchased have been delivered to a sandy area by the Euphrates River southeast of Deir ez-Zor. You can send someone to receive them now." Li Yi gave Major General Zaha the specific coordinates.

Major General Zaha, who had been waiting for half a day, finally received the call and hurriedly said, "I'll send troops to collect them right away."

It was two hours later by the time Major General Zaha saw the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles.

Looking at the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles before him, which could shoot down USA helicopters and F-16 Fighter Jets, Major General Zaha observed them closely.

Afterward, he directly allocated the majority of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles to his own troops. The remainder, including 50 sets of Tianlei Type I Anti-Aircraft Missiles with 100 matching missiles, 10 sets of Tianlei Type II Anti-Aircraft Missiles with 20 matching missiles, and 5 sets of Tianlei Type III Anti-Aircraft Missiles with 10 matching missiles, were prepared to be sent to the Syrian military for further distribution.

Major General Zaha didn't know if Zarzur would face immediate retaliation from the USA, but making anti-aircraft preparations was a necessity to avoid being caught off guard and unable to respond to a USA airstrike.

After returning to the presidential suite of the Riviera Hotel, Li Yi thought about the tasks for the coming period. One was waiting for Iran to pay the second installment of 20 million barrels of oil for the anti-aircraft missiles purchased by the Glass House, as well as the 50 million barrel deposit for the new missile purchase.

Another was waiting for Syria to pay the remaining balance for their missile purchase, including natural gas and phosphate, and the delivery of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles purchased by Palestine.

Li Yi decided to first buy all the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles ordered by Iran and Palestine so he could deliver them directly when the time came.

He placed an order for 1,100 sets of Tianlei Type I Anti-Aircraft Missiles and 4,750 matching missiles, totaling 197.5 million yuan.

He ordered 830 sets of Tianlei Type II Anti-Aircraft Missiles and 2,460 matching missiles, totaling 461.2 million yuan.

He ordered 400 sets of Tianlei Type III Anti-Aircraft Missiles and 1,000 matching missiles, totaling 500 million yuan.

He ordered 90 sets of Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missiles and 180 matching missiles, totaling 162 million yuan.

He ordered 90 sets of Tianlei Type V Anti-Aircraft Missiles and 90 matching missiles, totaling 202.5 million yuan.

He ordered 90 sets of Tianlei Type VI Anti-Aircraft Missiles and 90 matching missiles, totaling 270 million yuan.

Li Yi summarized and calculated the purchase price of all the missiles, totaling 1,793.2 million yuan.

However, after paying the 1,793.2 million yuan for the purchase, the remaining system funds in the Multiverse Arms Trading System dropped to 869,137,339 yuan, falling below the 1 billion yuan mark.

Li Yi considered whether to sell the 15,501,288 barrels of oil stored in the Multiverse Arms Trading System and convert them into system funds.

Checking the latest international oil price at $72.8 per barrel, and seeing a low probability of a price hike in the short term, he decided to sell it all.

At a price of $72.8 per barrel, Li Yi would obtain over $1.1 billion after selling the stored oil, specifically $1,128,493,766.4.

With China's currency exchange rate at 1 USD to 6.9255 yuan, this converted to 7,815,383,579 yuan, which is 7.8 billion yuan.

After selling the 15.5 million barrels of oil, the system funds displayed by the Multiverse Arms Trading System became 8,684,520,918 yuan, nearly 9 billion yuan.

At this point, Li Yi also saw that new weaponry had been unlocked, which happened after spending over 1.7 billion yuan on the Tianlei anti-aircraft missiles for Iran.

The locked weapon equipment notification had changed to:

"Unlockable only after military hardware purchases exceed 10 billion yuan. Please select weapons to purchase to meet this condition."

Li Yi considered whether to just spend up to 10 billion yuan to unlock another tier of equipment.

The total value of weapons purchased so far had reached 2,493.65 million yuan, leaving 7.5 billion yuan to go before unlocking the new equipment.

Currently, the system funds in the Multiverse Arms Trading System were sufficient, so he might as well buy a large batch of Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles all at once.

Since anti-aircraft missiles were needed by all countries anyway, he could buy them now and sell them later.

Li Yi didn't hesitate any longer and immediately began a massive "buying spree" within the Multiverse Arms Trading System.

He ordered 5,000 sets of Tianlei Type I Anti-Aircraft Missiles and 25,000 matching missiles, totaling 1,000 million yuan.

He ordered 2,000 sets of Tianlei Type II Anti-Aircraft Missiles and 5,000 matching missiles, totaling 1,000 million yuan.

He ordered 1,000 sets of Tianlei Type III Anti-Aircraft Missiles and 5,000 matching missiles, totaling 2,000 million yuan.

He ordered 500 sets of Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missiles and 1,000 matching missiles, totaling 900 million yuan.

He ordered 500 sets of Tianlei Type V Anti-Aircraft Missiles and 500 matching missiles, totaling 1,125 million yuan.

He ordered 500 sets of Tianlei Type VI Anti-Aircraft Missiles and 500 matching missiles, totaling 1,500 million yuan.

After the massive purchase, Li Yi calculated the total purchase price, which came to 7,525 million yuan. Adding that to the 2,493.65 million yuan already spent, it totaled exactly 10.01865 billion yuan, exceeding the 10 billion mark.

At this time, the system funds in the Multiverse Arms Trading System decreased to 1,159,520,918 yuan, not far from dropping below 1 billion yuan.

If the newly unlocked equipment needed to be purchased, Li Yi didn't know how long his remaining system funds would last.

Fortunately, Iran should be in a hurry to pay for those 70 million barrels of oil to get the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles as soon as possible.

When that happened, Li Yi wouldn't have to worry about running out of system funds in the Multiverse Arms Trading System.

At this moment, the locked weapon equipment notification updated to:

"Unlockable only after military hardware purchases exceed 100 billion yuan. Please select weapons to purchase to meet this condition."

Having unlocked two tiers of weapons—the 1 billion and 10 billion yuan marks—in succession, Li Yi had high expectations for the newly unlocked equipment.

The first thing Li Yi looked at was the newly unlocked anti-aircraft missiles; there were now two more new types of Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles available for sale.
