At about nine o'clock, Jiang Chen returned to the apocalypse.
Flares illuminated the base as if it were daytime, but the apartment buildings in the base were completely dark and silent.
There have been flying alien species such as mutated mosquitoes and mutated flies outside, and the walls cannot absolutely protect the lives of survivors in the base. So there are only combatants left on the surface, and the survivors have evacuated into the containment facilities converted from the sewers.
Jiang Chen's villa was also dark, but judging from the light leaking from the gaps in the curtains, the people inside had not evacuated.
There is really no need to evacuate.
The entire villa is the strongest fortress in the base, and with Sun Jiao and Sun Xiaorou staying inside, there is no need to worry about alien species threatening the people inside.
Pushing open the door of the villa, Jiang Chen unexpectedly found Han Junhua sitting in the living room.
Sensing the doubt in Jiang Chen's eyes, Han Junhua answered succinctly.
"For the convenience of command, it is better for me to stay on the surface. Don't worry about safety issues. Weapons training is a required course for AC officers."
Sun Jiao sat opposite Han Junhua. After seeing Jiang Chen, she asked eagerly.
"Has it been resolved?".
"Solved, the only thing left is that I have to go to the Western Front in person." Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.
As for Jiang Chen going to the front line, Sun Jiao opened her mouth with some worry. But in the end nothing was said. She naturally knew why Jiang Chen wanted to go there in person, but she was a little worried about his safety.
Han Junhua frowned slightly. He opened his mouth and directly said what Sun Jiao originally wanted to say.
"With all due respect, I don't think your going to the Western Front will bring much improvement to the war situation. On the contrary, it will add unnecessary variables to the war situation. If you want to talk about command ability, having Cheng Weiguo there is enough."
Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head.
"I went outside not to go to the front line, but to... call for help."
Jiang Chen searched for a while and found a suitable word.
"Ask for help?" Han Junhua frowned.
She didn't know Jiang Chen's ability, and Jiang Chen didn't plan to tell her until he was sure how she would react.
Even though she has a "special" slave chip embedded in the back of her head.
"Yes, I have solved the problem of insufficient heavy weapons and ammunition on the Western Front, but the only trouble is that I have to go there in person."
Jiang Chen's vague statement obviously did not satisfy Han Junhua.
But looking at Jiang Chen's eyes that could not refuse, Han Junhua stared at him wordlessly for half a minute.
"If you insist."
Finished. She stood up and walked towards the door.
"Shall we leave now? I still want to take a nap." Jiang Chen couldn't help but say as he watched her put on her shoes and walk out the door.
"Of course we don't want to leave now, but military deployment needs to be carried out in advance." Loading the laser pistol for self-defense, Han Junhua tapped his toes next to the threshold, "You will set off by helicopter at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Now say hello to the people on the front line. Okay, so as not to interfere with their battle plan. I'll go to the community center and come back, you don't have to follow me."
NAC has only two YZ-51s, all of which are currently deployed in the Stalker Corps.
Air resources are extremely tight. Even if the marshal travels, he has to make an appointment in advance...
The arms sales matter soon came to light.
The price of the M-21 rocket launcher is very cheap. One vehicle and launcher only cost 200,000 U.S. dollars. The total cost of the eight vehicles was only 1.6 million U.S. dollars for Jiang Chen.
What really costs money is the shells!
The launcher is old style. But the ammunition is all new from the factory. After all, it may become a dud over time, and selling it would be a self-defeating sign, for this potential arms buyer. How could Maozi be willing to use defective products to cheat? That is simply difficult to deal with foreign exchange.
A 122mm high-explosive rocket with a range of 20 kilometers and a single shot price of US$2,000. Jiang Chen just threw away 40 million US dollars. A generous purchase of 20,000 rounds was made at one time.
The 122mm napalm rocket with the same range of 20 kilometers is slightly more expensive, priced at US$2,500 per shot. Jiang Chen also threw away 50 million US dollars without blinking an eye. A massive purchase of 20,000 rounds was made.
These incendiary bombs are a killer weapon for zombies.
Alien tide, right? Then I will burn half of your city!
Although she was embarrassed by Jiang Chen's request to purchase sensitive weapons such as weapons, Natasha still reported Jiang Chen's needs to her superiors.
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for about five minutes, and finally gave an answer of approval.
After all, this order of nearly 100 million US dollars is really too tempting. Moreover, what the other party buys are unguided rocket shells that are easy to produce and do not need to worry about technology leakage. For Russia, which is short of foreign exchange, this kind of arms business is like picking up money!
Although arms sales are a bit on the sidelines of international law, among the five gangsters, who really cares about this thing? There is a lot of American-made equipment in the hands of the Syrian anti-government forces, including some contraband items sold by "uncontrolled" private arms dealers.
Now that it has nodded, Russia obviously did not disappoint Jiang Chen, the financial backer. At his request, this batch of arms was transported by air.
The next night, an An-225 transport plane parked at the Crescent Island airport. The first batch of arms was shipped, 8 M-21 rocket launchers and 2,000 rounds of rocket ammunition. As for the remaining 32,000 rockets, they were also shipped in batches.
Regarding Jiang Chen's purchase of so many rockets, Bakari and Ivan both expressed their helplessness. However, Jiang Chen didn't explain it to them. He just ordered them to seal all the equipment into containers and load them. Then he pulled them all along the dam bridge to the offshore platform, and loaded them all into the container he bought specifically to transport supplies to Crescent Island. On a large ship.
When the ship reached the sea, Jiang Chen ordered the captain to anchor and stop the ship.
The old captain was quite sensible. Based on his experience, he didn't know that Jiang Chen was going to use the boat to smuggle some things to the island that were not allowed by the customs. Although he didn't know why Star Ring Trade still needed to engage in such a small trick, he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he gathered all the crew members in the cabin for a meeting.
Since people don’t want you to know about this kind of thing, it’s better to consciously cover your eyes.
Soon, within half an hour, Jiang Chen walked to the door of the conference room, knocked on the door, and signaled to the captain that he could weigh anchor and continue sailing.
After disbanding the meeting and waiting for the impatient crew members to leave, Jiang Chen pulled the captain aside and handed him a cigarette.
Flattered, he took the cigarette and put it on. The old captain showed his white teeth and smiled.
"I understand, we don't know anything."
Nodding in approval, Jiang Chen didn't waste any time. He reached into his pocket and took out an envelope and stuffed it into his pocket.
"Take it, and don't ask anything except about sailing the boat."
Feeling the weight of the sediment, the old captain grinned even happier.
Jiang Chen patted his shoulder, then turned and walked away.
As a result, the person responsible for loading the cargo on the ship only knew that the ammunition was on the ship, but did not know where the ammunition was pulled. The crew in charge of transportation only knew that the container was on the ship, but did not know what was inside.
After stopping at the deep-water port, customs officers routinely checked the boxes and found them empty. Although they were curious, when they saw the Star Ring Trading logo, they stopped caring.
The reason for being so careful is to prevent anyone from watching the arms.
Now the Philippines is in chaos. The Moroccan Liberation Army guerrillas, equipped with a large amount of American equipment, have stunned the government troops with their ferocious offensive. Lai came to take MILF, who had originally given up on independent demands, but seeing the situation reversed, he also began to seek cooperation with his old club.
Under such circumstances, there is no guarantee that there are no other eyes on Koro Island.
After all, there are two main neighboring countries that are at odds with the Philippines: China and New Zealand. If not certain religions. As the forces say, the biggest suspect as the initiator of the deterioration of the situation in the Philippines is China, and then the new country.
There must be spies from other forces on the island, but Jiang Chen believed that no matter how hard they tried, they would never be able to figure out where these arms were transported.
Even if it's an arms dealer-
(S: The price of weapons is not fixed. The main reference for the data is Gaddafi’s arms sales bill, which converts euros into US dollars. I am exhausted from looking for this information.) (.)
