Chapter 943 – : Chapter 942, General Abu'S Situation
After drinking a few glasses of wine, general Abu started to get down to business.
"Yesterday, I contacted my arms supplier and placed an order for two main battle tanks. It might cost around five million!"
Speaking up to this point, general Abu paused for a moment, wanting to see Yu Tian's reaction.
In Hell, tanks were definitely the overlord of the army.
A small pirate like Faraday would definitely not be able to afford something like a tank.
Not to mention the price of a tank that was a few million per vehicle, the training of the drivers, the consumption of fuel and ammunition, and the daily maintenance, these were all huge expenses.
This kind of expense made even some big warlords feel a little pained, not to mention those small pirates and small warlords.
Under normal circumstances, the pirate's loot, including valuable goods and valuable hostages, was only worth a few million at most.
This income seemed to be quite high, but such a business might not happen once in a few years.
Especially now that countries were cracking down on pirates and often used warships to escort cargo ships, it was even more difficult to earn this money.
Therefore, many far-sighted warlords had given up on the pirate business and started to use other methods to develop their forces, including some economic construction.
Those small forces were miserable. The pirate business was getting worse and worse, and they didn't have the conditions to do economic construction.
They were so poor that they couldn't even afford an army, let alone buy tanks, the king of land warfare.
General Abu's situation wasn't much better.
He wasn't a major warlord. The only tank he had was an old antique that had been eliminated from a small third-rate country.
Although this thing made him awe-inspiring in his own territory, it wasn't enough in front of other forces.
A few rpgs could only deal with a tank. At most, it could scare the enemy. If he really went on the battlefield, he could do it at a small price.
Therefore, he really needed two main battle tanks to deal with the increasingly serious threats from the surrounding forces.
Yu Tian had spent the past two days cramming for information on the forces in the MOTHERF * cker region. He also roughly understood general Abu's current situation. He also understood that General Abu was eager to purchase the main battle tanks.
He nodded indifferently and said, "The main battle tanks are not bad. This is a very reasonable demand. What kind of tanks did you order?"
General Abu heaved a sigh of relief. He was worried that Yu Tian would not be satisfied with his use of funds and thus cut off his investment.
He continued, "I originally had my eyes on the 99 style of the eastern country. This is the tank with the highest performance-to-price ratio. However, my arms supplier said that this thing was very difficult to obtain. On the contrary, he could obtain the M-1 type tank. However, I feel that the M-1 tank is too expensive. It's almost two to three times more expensive than the 99 type. Furthermore, it's said to be very ineffective in the desert region. There are also many kinds of defects! "
"So, what kind of tank did you order?"
"I don't know yet."
"You don't Know?"
General Abu rubbed his hands in a dilemma. "That's right. My arms supplier said that he wanted to ask around again to see if there were any retired second-hand goods. "
Yu Tian was amused. "So, this order of yours, estimated at five million, you still don't know what the specific goods are?"
General Abu Smiled embarrassedly. "As long as it's a modern main battle tank, it's fine. I don't expect to get a world-class product. "
Yu Tian said, "Even if it's a castrated version?"
General abu said, "If castrated isn't too powerful, it's actually acceptable. As long as the firepower and armor are enough!"
"This kind of trash is meaningless. "
Yu Tian shook his head. "Among the forces around you, there's a guy named Ahmed!"
Ahmed was a warlord that was even more powerful than general Abu. The military weapons in his hands were on a completely different level from general Abu's forces.
If it wasn't for the fact that the place where General Abu was located was too barren, he would have already annexed general Abu's forces.
But now, general Abu's situation couldn't be considered safe.
How could he allow others to sleep beside his bed? Sooner or later, Ahmed would sweep away all the small warlords around him.
General Abu smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, Ahmed. We all call him the big hippo. He's a very powerful guy. "
Yu Tian said, "Do you think it's meaningful for you to buy two garbage tanks to face such an enemy?"
General Abu said helplessly, "This! is better than nothing. I only have one old tank now! "
Yu Tian sighed and said, "You're showing a lack of confidence. Don't forget that you still have my support. If I give you 100 million directly, how many main battle tanks can you buy?"
General Abu had one eye. "That's at least 20 tanks."
"20 pieces of trash?"
"UH! "
General Abu was speechless.
Money alone was useless. He had to find a way to supply weapons.
General Abu had always been poor. His main weapons were the Akkadian rifles and ammunition. There were also some so-called "Heavy weapons "like rpgs. He didn't buy many of them.
There was no need to mention military vehicles. It was basically a matter of painting a layer of paint on civilian vehicles.
The only tanks and a few armored vehicles were antiques from an unknown era.
With his purchasing ability, he naturally could not attract a large arms dealer, let alone get a price that he was satisfied with.
Yu Tian rubbed his head and said, "You can say goodbye to that arms supplier of yours. From now on, I will provide the weapons here. "
General Abu was a little surprised. "Boss Yu is also in the arms business?"
Yu Tian said, "I don't do arms business, but I can find high-quality supply channels! "
Since uncle long could contact the submarines of the Maoists, he could naturally find more suppliers in the Maoists.
The old Maoists had gone through a split in the past and formed the current Maoists, the second Maoists, the third Maoists, the fourth Maoists, and other countries.
Although the economy of those countries was not very developed, they had inherited a lot of weapons and equipment from the old Russian state. Among them, there were many excellent quality products.
Not to mention the good quality, the key was that the price was very cheap, even to the extent of selling waste products.
Their biggest problem was to find enough buyers to dispose of these things.
If they skipped the arms dealers in the middle and directly took the goods from the Russians, 100 million was enough to arm a terrifying force.
Thinking of this, Yu Tian took out his phone and called Uncle Long.
"I want to buy a batch of weapons and equipment from the Russians, including tanks, armored vehicles, and all kinds of cannons!"
Uncle Long was a little surprised.. "Who are you going to wage war on?"
