As the saying goes, when enemies come, they have fists, and when friends come, they get good wine. For this unprecedented arms dealer auction, Luo Xing also spent a lot of money. Not only is the infrastructure provided better than that of the Olympic Village, each room is also equipped with high-end red wine, rich and expensive melons and fruits, and even the lunch table is filled with delicacies that are very characteristic of noodle shops. A grilled giant python was particularly impressive. The 8-meter-long giant python was grilled to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. It was placed in the center of the long dining table in a straight line, which was particularly spectacular.
These businessmen who have been wandering around the world for a long time and have been with death have long learned to live with the situation, even on the front line, they can drink and talk happily, so they are very happy.
But this lunch was a bit depressing, because sitting on the table was a person who didn't belong to their circle... Sui Tao.
Although these arms dealers are used to dealing with officials, it still makes them very uncomfortable to appear directly with officials.
"Little brother, did you come to the wrong place? This is the adult area, and the baby table is over there." An arms dealer from Italy joked, causing the table to laugh.
"If possible, I'd rather sit with the animals and eat feed than be with you. In my eyes, you are just a group of pests on the earth and leeches of modern civilization." Sui Tao made no secret of his disgust, wantonly The speech aroused dissatisfaction.
"Baga!" Hatoyama-san, an arms dealer from the Japanese kingdom, slapped the table, "You lackey of the Chinese dynasty! What qualifications do you have to sit on an equal footing with us? Those who can stay here are bosses worth over 100 million yuan, and they are also dominant figures .”
"If you say I'm a dog, you'll admit it. At least I've got a license." Sui Tao sneered, "What about you? Wild dog, occasionally pick up some chicken butts thrown away by the owner and be grateful. You can go wherever you are told, and you won’t even be given the right to argue. See what you are doing here now? Wild dog legs.”
"You!" The bald Hatoyama-san was so angry that his nose was crooked.
"This little comrade is really rude, but I like straightforward people. There is a saying in China that goes, 'It doesn't matter whether the cat is white or black, as long as it can catch mice is a good cat'. In our case, it should be said that it does not matter whether the cat is black or white. Dogs and wild dogs, those who can eat meat are good dogs. As the first time we met, I dared to come to this dragon's pond and tiger's den alone. Comrade's courage is worthy of my toast." Bashkir raised his glass and laughed.
"Sorry, I'm on official business, so I can't drink alcohol." Sui Tao was still polite, raised his water glass and said in return, Tianchao and Maoziguo had a natural sense of closeness.
"Little brother, since you are from the government, the higher-ups should have told you the truth. To us, this item is just an extra weapon. To you, it is a flaw. I believe in your determination to get it back. But sometimes things don’t have only one solution.” Blonde Bourne, a representative arms dealer from the United States, smiled and said, “No matter what other people say, if something falls into our hands, there must be something to talk about, and we don’t need money to return it. It is not impossible to return to the heaven."
The U.S. emperor is obviously not very interested in China's military flaws. Obviously, this nuclear-armed country is already its biggest creditor. Do you really dare to send F22 to them to cruise in the sky
The Cold War is over, everything must use new thinking to understand the international situation. There are no absolute enemies, and no eternal allies. It is an eternal principle to exchange things you don't care about for the benefits you need.
"Sorry, the task I have received is to bring back the cipher machine at all costs. I have no authority to make any promises. Besides, negotiations under such circumstances will be regarded as threats. The Celestial Dynasty never negotiates with threats." Sui Tao Between the lines there is the bearing of a big country.
"Hey, hey, I'll treat you all here to play. What do you mean by wanting to pry my plate before the business starts? I want to do business and wait until my order is finished before going to talk by myself. There are so many before the auction. Little trick, do you really think I'm dead?" Although Yuri was laughing, the gesture of knocking on the wine glass in his hand to remind everyone to pay attention was almost breaking the crystal glass.
"Okay, to save face, we'll talk after the auction." Byrne smiled and raised his hand and was apologized.
Just as a group of people continued to eat, a group of soldiers finally drove in the last Japanese-made Type 10 main battle tank in the munitions warehouse in Xinda Market, and stopped at the corner.
This is Hatoyama-san's "guaranteed" equipment. It can be called the most expensive main battle tank in the world. This thing uses a 120MM caliber artillery. Among the modern tanks that have become popular with 125MM smoothbore guns, it is considered insufficient firepower. Using the same model of shells, the fire attack radius of Type 10 is obviously smaller than that of modern tanks, even smaller than the Russian-made T-90 main battle tank. Tanks, but the most shameless price is 4 to 5 times that of the Chinese Type 99 and the Russian-made T-90.
The tankers who just drove in were shaking their heads, really fighting, they prefer the Type 99 tank with longer range and more powerful firepower than the Type 10 tank with a bunch of complicated interiors that are here and there.
Several soldiers lamented the addition of new equipment this time, "The commander-in-chief is really capable, and he actually got so much awesome equipment. The American-made M1A2 main battle tank is indeed tested in actual combat. The interior is simple and it is easy to operate. .”
"Tanks are nothing, but this is the most powerful thing!" A soldier patted the black Wuzhi 10 helicopter beside him, "The latest armed helicopter in China is said to be equipped with air-to-air missiles. Airborne enemies, even the American-made Apache gunships don’t have such awesome skills!”
"Hehe, it seems that we will be able to become the founding generals in a short time!"
"Stop dreaming. Those are the titles of officials and gentlemen. It would be nice for us to earn some money! The most important thing is to live until then." A veteran taught thought-provoking.
After everyone left, the gate of the arsenal was closed from the outside. In the dark environment, no one noticed that a piece of armor under the nose of the Wuzhi 10 gunship was dismantled from the inside. He climbed out vigorously.
"Sir, the Druid Trojan horse plan was successful! I'm at my position, I almost thought I was going to die." Zhu Zi pressed the communicator and reported in a low voice.
"Pillars...that's called a Trojan horse..." Shen Ming smiled helplessly, "Report the number of chariots in the arsenal."
"Yes, there are two M1A2s, two Leopard 2s, one Type 10, four T90s, a total of nine main battle tanks."
"Very good, Zhuzi, now install the 'mouse boxes' I gave you to the main control computers of these tanks, you should be able to disassemble those tanks of different styles, right?" Shen Ming ordered.
"Sir, you are joking, give me a wrench, and the aircraft carrier will be disassembled for you to see." Zhu Zi smiled and took out the tool belt buckled around his waist, and took out the so-called "mouse box". Zhu Zi didn't know the specific use of this gadget the size of a set-top box, but from Chief Shen Ming's statement, it can be understood that this gadget is the key to completing the raid mission.
Faced with such a variety of main battle tanks, the pillar dismantling system is still familiar, and the talent of the mechanics can be said to be world-class.
Night fell quietly on this land. In the vast night sky, apart from the bright moon, there were spy satellites from more than a dozen countries, paying close attention to every move of this new city.
I believe that in some unknown place in every country, there will be a group of high-ranking and powerful people gathered in a small room waiting for the birth of the auction result. Of course, to the outside world, they will never admit that there was such a gathering, and they have never participated in such an auction. But everyone understands that the international situation will undergo considerable changes following tonight's results. Once the Celestial Empire fails, how to interpret the international situation will depend on three points of strength and seven points of luck.
The burden on Sui Tao's shoulders is extremely heavy, but he can't feel the slightest burnout. Even if his salary is only 3,785 yuan and 88 cents including the attendance bonus, he can still influence the billions of dollars worth of business with just a few gestures.
Today, Sui Tao put on a high-end Armani suit that he had never worn before. The white shirt was like snow, and the bright red tie was like blood.
For such a grand auction, the venue is set to be held at the largest indoor sports venue in New Market. The decorator disassembled and discarded the original basketball stand, and placed 12 leather sofas, occupying most of the basketball court.
A large number of soldiers with live ammunition are waiting outside all the entrance passages. Two T90 main battle tanks equipped with reactive armor are parked in the parking lot outside the stadium. In the sky, four Hind helicopter gunships are constantly patrolling back and forth.
At every intersection in the city, soldiers set up temporary positions, and a sniper with a sniper rifle stood in one of every five buildings.
In the four air defense positions, the radars are operating at full power, and they are ready to defend against the invasion of the coalition forces. If the stupid big wood had this level of layout and equipment level, the US emperor would not be so easy to break into his main city.
Although many arms dealers who entered the venue brought bodyguards, none of them carried weapons, not even metal belt buckles or rings.
Fortunately, as the organizer, Luo Xing thoughtfully prepared spare hemp rope belts, otherwise more than half of the arms dealers here would have to carry their trousers into the venue.
There is no way, for this damn big business, everyone can only accept all the rules of Luo Xing.
When I came to the inside of the venue, the scene inside was more like a small classroom, except for 12 sofa chairs, arranged in a row of three, a total of four rows, and facing a wooden platform 5 meters away. It is estimated that the filming of "The Baijia Forum" can be started directly.
Sui Tao's position is in the middle of the second row. Sitting in front of him is the bald Hatoyama-san. The light reflected from the Mediterranean hairstyle makes people dizzy. Bourne and Bashkir are sitting on the left and the right. Next to Sui Tao, the four protagonists took their positions.
