Most people don't know what exactly two billion dollars of arms is.

To give a simple example, 320 T-80UD tanks were purchased from Ukraine, and these 320 tanks formed the foundation of the entire army. It only cost 1.6 billion U.S. dollars, and these 320 tanks It took several years for the ten tanks to be delivered.

Three hundred and twenty tanks costing US$5 million each would require a regional military power to afford them.

Now Gao Guang has eighty-four tanks. Just imagine, which country in the world can eat so many obsolete old tanks in one go? Let’s not talk about money first, but which country needs to build such a tank? What about the troops?

Two billion U.S. dollars is nothing to a big country. Take the United States as an example. Two billion U.S. dollars is enough to build two Burke-class destroyers, one-third of a Ford-class aircraft carrier, or an additional 400 million U.S. dollars. US dollars can build one B2 bomber or twenty F35 fighter jets.

Putting aside gold-eating beasts like the Navy and Air Force, two billion dollars can purchase 200 M1A2 Abrams main battle tanks. For the United States, which spends hundreds of billions of dollars a year on military spending, two billion dollars is a splash. Can't get up.

But for a small country with only 2 billion military expenditures a year, this 2 billion is the cost to maintain the military operations for a year.

Military expenditures and weapons procurement costs are two different concepts. The food, drink and sleep of soldiers, the ammunition consumed, and the daily operation and maintenance of equipment are all money, and they are all included in military expenditures, while the cost of purchasing weapons only accounts for a small part of military expenditures. part.

There are now a total of 84 tanks, more than 200 self-propelled artillery of various calibers, 40 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, more than 100 towed artillery, more than 20 towed anti-aircraft guns, and a total of more than 500 mortars of various types.

Large-caliber artillery shells include 300,000 tank shells, more than one million mortar shells, and more than 200,000 small-caliber anti-aircraft shells. There are more than 2,000 old and new missiles in total.

Looking at the list, you can see that the goods here are all heavy equipment that is not easy to sell in the retail market. There are no hard currencies like cash, such as rifles, rocket launchers, or light weapons such as grenades and bullets.

The super large batch is somewhat outdated, but it is still the mainstream traditional army main battle equipment.

It is not easy to sell, even if it is cheap, it is not easy to sell. But if you encounter the right opportunity, this batch of arms will not only be easy to sell, but can even be sold at a high price.

Only countries where a real war has broken out, where all the arms stored in the past have been used up, and the war has to continue, can make emergency purchases and digest such a large batch of arms inventories.

I didn’t know Pavel saved it

It took him many years to acquire these goods. The reason why he stockpiled the goods in Georgia and waited for the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia was because he had no choice.

After looking at the list, there was no choice for Gaoguang. Apart from Armenia, there was no second customer who could potentially buy this batch of goods.

The reason why you didn’t choose Azerbaijan is very simple. It’s because Azerbaijan has local support and you don’t have to pay out of your own pocket. There are deep-seated reasons behind all actions. After looking at the list, the highlight of this trip to Armenia is imminent.

Azerbaijan and Armenia are fighting in full swing, taking various drones to new heights. However, traditional combat equipment has also suffered heavy losses under the attack of drones. The original king of land warfare was the tank, but now, the tanks of both warring parties

There was no chance to meet, and he was blown to pieces by the opponent's drone attack.

The same goes for cannons. When the artillery positions are attacked by drones, there is no chance of resistance. Each cannon is directly destroyed by the drone.

The current war situation is very delicate, and traditional army combat equipment seems to be completely outdated, which means that the equipment Gao Guang has on hand will not be easy to sell.

But on the other hand, Armenia's army suffered heavy losses in basic equipment. They must purchase new equipment to maintain a certain combat effectiveness. Looking at it this way, it is a good opportunity for shipments.

And the most critical point is that even if Pavel's goods are not easy to sell, Gaoguang's own goods can be sold at a high price.

The unmanned aerial vehicle that no one cared about in the past became a hot commodity after both warring parties had used it up.

The door of a warehouse was opened, and the not-so-bright lights turned on one after another. The neatly arranged tanks in the warehouse gradually emerged from the darkness and were displayed in front of the bright eyes.

This scene had the effect of a blockbuster movie, but it failed to impress Gao Guang, who had developed an appetite. He just glanced at it, but what he was thinking about was how to transport these tanks out, and how to continue to store them.

Gunshots suddenly rang out outside, intensive but short-lived. Gao Guang glanced back, and then he lost interest in continuing to examine the trophies. Let Leon take a look at these things later, he was no longer interested.

Turning around and walking out of the warehouse, Gao Guang had someone close the warehouse door again. Gao Guang walked towards Martin, who was standing side by side with the Minister of Arms.

Shake hands, thank you, seal the evidence, and leave.

Will have to do it later

Because of the relationship with Georgia, Gao Guang had to express something, but just find someone to handle this kind of thing. Gao Guang neither wanted nor could go beyond Martin to reach any agreement with others.

So after returning to Tbilisi, Gao Guang had to meet with Martin in private. Gao Guang prepared a card with 10 million US dollars in it.

Logically speaking, considering what Martin has done, one million is too much to give him, but Gao Guang has a different idea. Good steel is used on the blade, and this money should also be spent on the right people.

Gao Guang can deal with people in Georgia, send money one by one, and establish his own network. At the same time, he can continue to put the newly acquired arms into Georgia's arms inventory.

But the highlight is that his horizons are now higher, and he doesn't want to bother as much as before, so he plans to take a trouble-free and one-step approach.

Instead of giving 10 million to ten people, it is better to do it in one step and knock Martin down with a price of 10 million that far exceeds the market price. There is also an advantage to doing it in one step, that is, Lloyd, who opened his mouth to tell the matter, will also have face.

of.

When Martin followed Gao Guang into the room where they were alone again, Martin, who only thought it was a routine matter, said very politely: "Mr. Mad Dog, are you satisfied with what happened today?"

“Satisfied, very satisfied.”

"Are there any requirements on how the evidence should be preserved? From a time perspective, I think there should be no problem if the evidence is sealed here for one year."

Gao Guang nodded, then he took out the card he had prepared and said to Martin: "This is a little kindness, please accept it." Martin didn't seem to expect that there would be any benefit to it. He was a little surprised. Also, look at him taking it.

The action when picking up a bank card does not seem to be particularly familiar with this behavior.

Also, Martin's position doesn't actually bring much extra money. If he hadn't encountered any highlights, it is estimated that he would never have received a single extra money of more than 100,000 in his lifetime.

Or just say that you can get it right in one step, and make him completely determined to follow Lloyd and provide high-gloss services at the same time.

Gao Guang said calmly: "There are ten million US dollars in it, you can"

He didn't finish his words, because Martin's ability to do things was good, but when he suddenly heard this number that was far higher than expected, he had a slight problem with the control of his body and made strange noises that he shouldn't have.

"Grr. Gulu. Hmm."

He choked and swallowed. Martin nodded and swallowed again.

spit, and then he said with an unbelievable look on his face: "Ten million?"

"Yes."

Swallowing again, Martin said with some difficulty: "Too many, uh, what do you think?"

Gao Guang smiled and said: "I want to keep this batch of evidence sealed in place, but I don't want the evidence to be lost, so I want to leave this matter to you, and I won't contact anyone else. What do you think?

Sample."

Martin said solemnly: "It's easy to solve. I request that this arsenal be used as our weapons storage point. We can send people to personally guard it and seal the entire arsenal."

Once this was done, there was no need to worry about many things. In order to be worthy of the ten million, Martin had to handle this matter even if he wanted to.

Gao Guang smiled and said: "Okay, then I'll trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble at all. Mr. Mad Dog, you can send someone here. It will be more convenient."

Martin began to get excited. He must be very anxious to find a place to verify and see if the card has 10 million.

It cannot be said that the poor suddenly became rich. Martin was definitely not poor before, but Martin definitely achieved financial freedom in an instant. It was an opportunity that he had not expected at all, and he got a huge sum of money that he would never make in his life.

, if he could still remain calm like this, Gao Guang would have to wonder if there was something wrong with this person.

Gao Guang said with a smile: "The password is written on the back of the card. The money is stored in Europe. If you find it inconvenient to spend it in the United States, you can use safe channels to launder it and enter the United States. However, I personally recommend not to do this. The handling fee is very high.

And it may take a long time before you can use it."

“It’s worth living in Europe!”

After speaking viciously, Martin realized that he had lost his composure, so he quickly said: "Well, thank you for your suggestion, I will seriously consider it."

Gao Guang spread his hands and said with a smile: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."

"It's a pleasure to work with you. It's very pleasant. Thank you, thank you General."

Martin was relatively calm. After saying everything he needed to say, he was extremely excited and suppressed his impulse to cheer. He stood up and said, "Then I'll take my leave. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me at any time."

"Okay, bye."
