HK1596 Plan Ahead and Buy Weapons!
.
The junction of North and South Ossetia, the small town of Kamila.
At 3:30 pm local time on March 2nd, Shi Lei was discussing some issues with Colonel Andronik.
"Andro, if I need the Soviet Union to provide some missiles, can you provide them?" Shi Lei asked the sensitive question straightforwardly.
Andronik thought about it and did not refuse. Instead, he asked: "Major Li, what level of missile do you need?"
Soviet Russia is the country with the second largest comprehensive military strength in the world. It has a variety of powerful missiles. Naturally, it is impossible to hand over some powerful missiles to Shi Lei.
What if Shi Lei brings those missiles back to Xia State and gives them to Xia State officials for research?
Shi Lei understood Andronik's concerns and took the initiative to explain: "It's just some small missiles! You know, we can't give me too much weapon support here. So, the Steel basically doesn't have small missiles mounted on it." Missiles, we need you to provide missiles.”
Andronik breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not let go. Instead, he was confused: "Major Li, although we can provide small missiles, the quantity will not be too many. After all, the cost of small missiles is not low."
Missiles are not fireworks, and even small missiles are not that cheap.
Shi Lei said with a smile: "Andro, I need your Russian Cold Wind series small missiles, both air-to-air and air-to-ground. I need two hundred of them!"
Colonel Andronik exclaimed, "Two hundred? Major Li, you must be kidding!"
Two hundred missiles, even small missiles, is a very astonishing number!
Such a large number of missiles is enough to support the needs of a large-scale war. Shi Lei actually needs so many missiles. Even ignoring Shi Lei's actual purpose, the manufacturing cost of four hundred missiles already made it impossible for Colonel Andronik to agree.
Shi Lei had a serious expression on his face, deliberately keeping a straight face and acting serious, "Colonel Andronik. Look at my expression, does it look like I'm joking?"
Andronik smiled bitterly, "Major Li, your request is simply impossible! Do you know the manufacturing cost of the Cold Wind series missiles?"
The relevant data was immediately displayed on the virtual transparent screen of the LIP lens-type information processor, and Shi Lei started to read. "Of course I know! The manufacturing cost of the cold wind series Alpha model air-to-ground small missiles is about 700,000 soubs; the manufacturing cost of the Beta model air-to-air missiles is 800,000 soubs; and the manufacturing cost of the Gamma model surface-to-air missiles is also 700,000 soubs. Boo, right?”
Since meeting Shi Lei, Andronik has experienced too many surprises. Andronik knew that Shi Lei knew the cost and price of the Cold Wind series missiles. It doesn't seem strange anymore.
"Major Li, since you know the manufacturing cost and price, you should too. According to our country's economic situation. It is absolutely impossible to take out 400 Cold Wind series missiles and put them into the war between Georgia and North Ossetia." Andronik affirmed said.
Shi Lei calculated with a smile: "An Alpha model Hanfeng series missile. It is converted to 194,000 Xia Guoyuan; a Beta model is converted to 222,000 Xia Guoyuan. The total price of 200 missiles each is 83.2 million Xia Guoyuan, right?"
Andronik didn't have an auxiliary artifact like the LIP lens-type information processor, so he could only use mental arithmetic data. After waiting for nearly three minutes, Andronik finally calculated the data and said, "Yes, Major Li."
Andronik didn't understand what Shi Lei meant, so he could only wait patiently for Shi Lei to continue speaking.
Shi Lei still had a smile on his face, "Colonel Andronik, has your Soviet military considered selling the Cold Wind series of missiles to other countries?"
Andronik's eyes flickered. In fact, the Soviet military has no plans to sell the Cold Wind series of small missiles. This is not because the Cold Wind series of small missiles cannot be sold, but that no one will buy them!
Small missiles have great limitations. If they are sold to foreign countries, there will basically be no orders. But since Shi Lei brought it up, he obviously has the desire to buy it.
"Major Li, do you plan to..." Andronik didn't say it clearly, but the meaning was already obvious.
Shi Lei nodded affirmatively, "Colonel Andronik, your guess is right. I plan to purchase some Cold Wind series missiles."
Andronik suppressed the throbbing in his heart and asked in a deep voice: "How much do you need to buy? Major Li, I also want to know where you will use these missiles?"
Shi Lei pretended to be surprised, and then said with certainty, "Of course it's used here! The ROC organization is quite annoying. If it weren't for them, I would have conquered that chick... No, if it weren't for them, I would Now I'm still enjoying it in China!" Shi Lei's expression showed just the right amount of embarrassment.
Andronik showed an expression that every man would understand, and then said: "Major Li, are you sure you need 400 Cold Wind series missiles?"
Shi Lei chuckled twice, "Colonel Andronik, how much can you sell?"
"As much as you want!" Andronik looked proud.
Shi Lei pretended to think for a while, and then said casually: "Then just get 4,000 pieces. Alpha and Beta models, the same 2,000 pieces!"
"Jebasol!" Andronik said a classic Soviet-Russian curse, which is equivalent to 'Fak' in English. "Major Li, how much did you say?"
Shi Lei had an innocent expression on his face, "4,000 pieces! If I calculated correctly, it should be 832 million Xia Guoyuan, right?"
Andronik had a depressed expression on his face, "Major Li, are you serious?"
"Of course! That's 104 million U.S. dollars, right? It's quite cheap anyway, so you can buy it and shoot it for fun!" Shi Lei fully demonstrated his willful behavior when he has money.
Andronik coughed and said, "Major Li, the number is a bit too much. I can only give you 400 at most!"
Shi Lei rolled his eyes with contempt in his eyes, "Colonel Andronik, is 400 too few?"
"It's already quite a lot!" Andronik pretended not to see Shi Lei's disdainful eyes and said guiltily. Originally, Andronik thought Shi Lei was just bragging. Being able to buy one or two hundred pieces was already a limit.
But Andronik never thought that Shi Lei would dare to say an order of more than 100 million US dollars, which was equivalent to a national weapons purchase. How could he dare to agree?
"Let's do this! Colonel Andronik, you sell me 800 Cold Wind series missiles, 400 each of Alpha and Beta models. I will give you a purchase price of 25 million US dollars, and the payment will be made through an unnamed overseas account, which cannot be traced. The source of the money cannot be traced, and the flow of the money cannot be traced." Shi Lei directly proposed a very tempting plan.
Based on the price of a single Cold Wind series missile, the total price of 400 Alpha and Beta missiles each is 166.4 million Xia Guoyuan. According to the exchange rate between Xia Guoyuan and the US dollar, converting 25 million US dollars into Xia Guoyuan, the total is 200 million Xia Guoyuan.
In other words, from this arms deal, Colonel Andronik had a profit of 33.6 million Xia Guoyuan, which converted into sububs totaled 120.96 million sububs!
There was a struggling look in Colonel Andronik's eyes, as if he wanted to get this profit, but he had some scruples that prevented him from doing so.
Shi Lei looked at Andronik's expression and knew what was going on!
The so-called hesitation is just because the temptation is not enough! Once the temptation is enough, there will be no hesitation at all!
Shi Lei looked at Colonel Andronik with a smile, "Colonel Andronik, if you can facilitate this deal, I will give you an additional 5 million US dollars in sponsorship fees. This money will be stored in an anonymous and confidential bank in a neutral country. As long as you have a password, anyone can claim your account, and your identity will never be exposed!"
Andronik gasped. Maybe five million dollars was nothing to Shi Lei, but to Andronik, it was a very attractive figure.
Converted into Xia Guoyuan, that's 40 million Xia Guoyuan!
40 million Xia Guoyuan can accomplish a lot of things in Xia State, not to mention that this is Soviet Russia, which has worse corruption than Xia State?
"Major Li, I need your guarantee that once this batch of weapons is handed over to you, no matter what you do with them, it will have nothing to do with me or our Soviet Russia!" Colonel Andronik seemed to comfort himself. said.
Shi Lei nodded seriously, "Don't worry! Colonel Andronik, I won't use these missiles to do bad things, I'm just storing them!"
Andronik shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, storing it? Unless Andronik is a fool, he will definitely not believe it!
"Major Li, you need too many things. I need some time to prepare them!" Andronik finally couldn't resist the temptation and chose to sell 800 Cold Wind series missiles to Shi Lei.
Andronik has already made plans. All profits from the purchase of 25 million US dollars will be handed over to the person in charge of the relevant industrial chain. After careful management from top to bottom, 800 Cold Wind series missiles will not be a problem. In addition, these missiles were sold to Shi Lei, and at least some of them would be used in the war in Georgia, and Andronik could also be involved.
As for how Shi Lei will use the remaining cold wind missiles, Andronik will not guess, nor does he want to guess. No matter how Shi Lei uses it, it has nothing to do with him in the end.
Is it possible that Shi Lei will use these cold wind series missiles to launch shocking terrorist attacks?
