Chapter 78 Purchasing Army Equipment
PS: Book-loving brothers, please help recommend and collect.
"Guo, it seems you need to build a comprehensive ammunition processing plant. The cost is not low, and from gunpowder to other fillers, to the production of various types of ammunition equipment technology, all are required. Ammunition includes bullets, shells, hand grenades, rifle grenades, aerial bombs, rockets, torpedoes, mines, etc. There are also more detailed divisions, different ammunition specifications used by each military branch, and different uses for various ammunition."
"For example, various ammunition uses different explosives, different ignition fuses, and according to their purpose, there are types such as killing, blasting, armor-piercing, armor-breaking, fragmentation, and incendiary. In addition, there are special combat units used for illumination, smoke emission, propaganda, electronic interference, reconnaissance, signal transmission, and target indication. There is also the propulsion part, bullets have propellant, torpedoes and rockets have propellers, hand grenades and landmines have delay fuses and trigger ignitions, etc. All these need to be taken into consideration. This is a comprehensive construction project that cannot be completed in a short period of time. Even if it's a country doing the construction, it would take several years. However, we have a large number of factories and equipment left over from the Soviet Union here, I can help you assemble a comprehensive factory, and building it up will be very convenient. Our country can prepare one for you in a short period of time."
Listening to these words, Guo Yu's head grew even bigger. He didn't even know how to use them, let alone manufacture them. His own path was long and arduous. If he wanted to laugh at the world, his comrades still needed to work hard. However, most of the weapons and equipment were readily available, mostly leftover stock from the former Soviet Union. They could be taken out directly, and now Ukraine only had a few hundred tanks equipped, while at the time of the split, they inherited 30% of the former Soviet Union's arsenal, which was too much to use and could only be stored.
"Weapons, I can prepare for you right now. For rifles, let's use the AKM, an improved version of the AK47, the most famous rifle in the world, we have a large stockpile. For handguns, let's use the Makarov pistol, your Chinese Type 59 pistol is modified from this one, with 8 rounds of ammunition, it's best suited for the air force and armored troops, previously only battalion-level officers were equipped with it. For sniper rifles, let's use the SVD, which is very good. As for machine guns, let's choose the Kalashnikov light machine gun, an improved version of the AKM, a very good general-purpose machine gun. The NSV heavy machine gun is a must-have, suitable for both high and low altitudes, many Russian tanks and armored vehicles are equipped with this type."
"For hand grenades, either F1 or RGD-5 can be used, anyway they are not expensive. We have a large stock of F1, which is the original melon-shaped grenade, and the RGD-5 is one generation more advanced, it's now the most widely used grenade."
"We should get some RPG-22 rocket launchers too, this is very famous and works well for attacking tanks and fortifications."
"BM-37 mortar, 82mm caliber, PM-43, 120mm caliber, these two mortars are enough for you to use in any situation, there are many in the warehouse now, and can be taken out at any time."
"For the howitzer, there is the 2A65 152mm howitzer, which was produced in 1985 and is still used by some troops in small quantities, with a large number being stored. It can be obtained at a low cost. This is already considered heavy artillery. Its performance is excellent, it's lightweight, has strong mobility, long range, high firing speed, great destructive power, and can use multiple types of ammunition to perform various shooting tasks. It also has strong environmental adaptability and can operate in temperatures ranging from -50°C to 50°C."
"Anything else you need? We can also get you some high-end weapons in small quantities, but be careful when using them."
Guo Yu felt a chill run down his spine as he listened, these people have gone crazy, they dare to sell anything, it seems that's what happens when you're poor and desperate.
Finally, Guo Yu spent another $480 million, and these were all inventory clearance goods. If they were new, it would be tens of billions. Arms dealers really make money. Guo Yu asked them to equip a large amount of ammunition and purchase a cargo ship with a tonnage of over 10,000 tons, loading all the weapons and equipment onto the ship, and taking them away together at that time.
At night, after dinner at the military base, Nesterovich took Gu Yu on a speedboat and quietly left the military port. After an hour of sailing, they arrived in a bay surrounded by darkness. The speedboat stopped next to a warship, and Fatso climbed up the gangway with difficulty. The two men boarded the deck of the warship, and Nesterovich said, "This is your Krivak-class frigate. Isn't it beautiful? It's been fully overhauled for you and can still be used for twenty years."
After finishing, he took Guo Yu into the command room, looked at some of the facilities on the ship, and to be honest, Nezhev had been talking to him for half a day, but basically he didn't understand, it was too professional. Then Nezhev took Guo Yu to the deck, pointing to the side and saying, "Look over there, those six are your 'Turya-class' torpedo boats, those two are 'Poison Spider'-class missile boats, can you see those small black dots? Those are the conning towers of submarines, a total of eighteen."
"That big ship over there is the supply ship, the tanks, self-propelled artillery and armored vehicles you bought are all on it, you can take them away together later. That yacht in the distance is yours, a beautiful one, has been renovated and the exterior paint job was newly designed by someone, done very nicely."
"Guo, when are you planning to get rid of these guys? Do I need to cooperate with you?"
"Is there anyone watching Nie here? I'll call someone to take him away, but don't want to be seen by those with ulterior motives." Guo Yu asked.
"Don't worry, this place is 50 nautical miles away from the military port, and there are no soldiers coming here. The original guards have all been sent away, and now it's empty and deserted, with only a few people I've assigned to guard it. Besides, since this is a military port, civilians don't come here, and it's also far from the city, so there's no one around." Neff said.
Guo Yu thought for a moment and said, "I'll arrange for someone to take these big guys away as soon as possible. You don't need to leave anyone to guard them. I'll have them drive away directly when the time comes."
The two of them took a rough look at the warship and then returned to Sevastopol, the largest ice-free port in southern Ukraine, the best harbor in Crimea, the base of the Black Sea Fleet. Nief brought Gu Yu to rest in the hotel here.
After entering the hotel room, Guo Yu first gave Nie Feng a treatment. Since they would be busy for a while, he wanted to get things done beforehand, so that Fatso wouldn't have to search all over for him. As Nie Feng walked out of the room, he said to Guo Yu: "Guo, enjoy your wonderful night." Then he closed the door and left.
Kuo Yu relaxed himself, lying on the sofa watching TV. Before long, the door opened and Ukrainian beauty Lisha walked in. The two were old friends and warmly hugged each other. Then Lisha glanced at Kuo Yu with a mischievous twinkle in her eye and called out from the doorway. A raven-haired blue-eyed beauty appeared at the entrance, with a more stunning figure than Lisha's. While Lisha had large breasts, this beauty was absolutely top-notch, but her figure was incredibly good, with big blue eyes and wavy black hair, giving Kuo Yu the feeling of being like a Barbie doll.
Ruisa called out to Barbie dolls to enter the room together, and Guo Yu's wonderful night began.
