Chapter 1350 Strategic Reserve

After thinking for a moment, Kovpak waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Let me explain it to you in detail from the beginning. I belong to the Logistics Department of the Ukrainian Army, with the rank of lieutenant colonel. My specific position is the ammunition depot numbered 1206. Top executive.”

Heaving a sigh of relief, Kovpak stretched out his hand, swallowed, and continued: "The ammunition depot I am responsible for was established in the Soviet era. It was once part of the strategic material reserve and belongs to the national defense. It was under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense, but now it has been placed under the jurisdiction of the Northern Combat Command, but it is still one of the two strategic ammunition storage depots near Kiev."

Gao Yang frowned and said, "Wait a minute, you're talking about the ammunition depot, not the weapons depot?"

Kovpak nodded and said: "Yes, the ammunition depot is not a weapons depot. The main materials we reserve are all kinds of ammunition. We provide all ammunition for the Kiev garrison and armored forces, except for rocket launchers. In addition, there is no complete set of weapon systems, basically, just various ammunition and ammunition, all kinds of ammunition and ammunition."

Gao Yang touched his ears subconsciously, then smiled and said, "You continue."

Kovpak took a breath and said: "Our ammunition depot is a strategic material reserve, but recently, we have also begun to assume the task of supplying ammunition to all troops near Kiev. The training consumption of each unit is borne by us. In addition, when each unit's own small ammunition depot is insufficient, it can be allocated from our ammunition depot. Well, basically, it can meet the consumption of two infantry divisions, one mechanized division and one armored division for three years. .”

Gao Yang swallowed and said with a trembling voice: "So big!"

Kovpak nodded and said: "Yes, do you need me to tell you the general inventory situation?"

Gao Yang immediately said: "Of course. Please."

Kovpak scratched his head and said: "In our ammunition depot, there are about 120,000 boxes of 5.45mm bullets, oh, large wooden boxes. There are also a lot of magazines, about 100,000 7.62x54mm machine gun bullets. Boxes, about 70,000 boxes of 12.7mm bullets, 14.5mm machine gun bullets and 23mm machine gun shells are relatively small, about 10,000 boxes each, which are small-caliber ones. Large-caliber ones are artillery shells, 82mm mortar shells There are about two million rounds, about 400,000 rounds of 122mm artillery shells, 152mm artillery shells and cartridges. About 1.6 million rounds, 122mm rockets, about 1.2 million rounds, and tank shells , 125mm armor-piercing projectiles, armor-breaking projectiles, these shells are few, only about 200,000 rounds."

Gao Yang has repeatedly suppressed his emotions. But he finally couldn't help but trembled and said: "There is no magazine for such a big ammunition? There are so many, so many, how can we finish this!"

This time it was Kovpuck who was shocked. He looked at Gao Yang and said in a trembling voice: "Have all of them pulled? These things are at least tens of thousands of tons. Even if you use a train to pull them, you will have to pull them at least dozens of times. Even if you use a large cargo lun, you will need at least two ships, right? Just for that It will take at least a month to move these things out of the warehouse, this is a strategic reserve!"

Gao Yang swallowed. He said with a grimace: "There are no guns and cannons, or armored vehicles and tanks? No"

Kovpak shook his head. He said solemnly: "No, but I don't have any landmines. Hundreds of thousands of them. Well, they were left behind by the Soviet Union. There are also RPG rocket launchers. This is the only weapon system that can be used. There are about one hundred thousand of them. Rockets There are about four to five million bullets of various types in total. These things sell quickly, so no one knows the specific number."

Gao Yang took a breath and said tremblingly: "Aren't there any 7.62mm intermediate bombs and grenades?"

Kovpak shrugged.

Said: "Of course there is, the inventory is more than forty years old, a lot, a lot, a lot."

"how many?"

Kovpak shook his head and said: "I don't know, I don't know how many there are. About one or two million grenades? As for the bullets, 200 million rounds? I don't know, these things have been shipped out since the collapse of the Soviet Union. There are still a lot left, but no one is too lazy to count them. In short, you can have as much as you want."

Gao Yang sighed and said, "It's troublesome now, you know it's troublesome now."

Li Jinfang and Aileen also had bitter looks on their faces. Having too many things is also a worry, especially the things you can pull out as you please, but it will take at least several months to pull all these things with the strength in your hands. , which is even more annoying.

There are more than 2,000 rounds of 5.45mm bullets in a box, 120,000 boxes. Even if we round up the 2,000 rounds in a box, it is more than 200 million rounds.

Generally speaking, bullets are packed into boxes according to the weight that the soldiers can bear, so most bullets are about 30 kilograms per box. One hundred boxes is 3,000 kilograms, that is, three tons, one vehicle How much can you pull? Even if the volume is not taken into account, a truck can pull fifty or sixty tons, which is only two thousand boxes.

One truck can only carry two thousand boxes of ammunition, but how much does one box of ammunition cost? Three hundred yuan, that’s the price Ulyanke sold to the Skeleton Gang, and no more. In other words, a cart without bullets is only worth $60,000, and that’s just the selling price. Also, this is 5.45mm As for the price of bullets, as for the 7.62mm intermediate bullet, it is even cheaper. Gao Yang doesn’t want it even if it is cheap.

Gao Yang was shocked to find that the freight cost was far higher than the cost of buying the bullet-proof car itself. He scratched his head vigorously, then looked at Kofpak and said with a bitter smile: "These things are very cheap. It seems that I want It takes a long time to recoup the cost.”

Kovpak spread his hands and said: "The ammunition doesn't have a magazine. That's it. It's not very valuable. It depends on the large quantity."

He bought an ammunition depot, but found that these items were too cheap. Gao Yang began to feel depressed. He was depressed that Big Ivan had impacted the arms market too much. No wonder other arms dealers wanted to deal with him. According to Big Ivan's low prices, Who can bear the dumping posture, other arms dealers who could have enjoyed high profits?

Gao Yang looked at Li Jinfang and Irene, and said with a wry smile: "We can't even think about emptying this ammunition depot."

Judging from the transportation capacity prepared by Downey Jr.'s painstaking efforts, Gao Yang and the others can't even think of emptying out this ammunition depot in a year, because the transportation depends on the White Shark Gang, and the White Shark Gang can build a fleet of more than a hundred vehicles with full supplies. A fleet of large trucks, and the port for shipment to the sea is in Odessa. Even if everything goes well, if they can make one round trip a day, one trip can only transport hundreds of thousands to one million arms. This is not efficient, let alone on the road. If there is any loss, such as being seized or something, it will be a huge loss.

If it could be moved slowly and no one would take care of it, Gao Yang would dare to invest more to buy this ammunition depot. But unfortunately, this is impossible. He cannot always take care of himself from this ammunition depot. Moving things out, according to Gao Yang's always cautious idea, it would be good if he could move things for two days in a row.

Irene also said with a sad face: "Man, your ammunition arsenal is not as big as a magazine, so don't you have anything valuable?"

Kovpak laughed and said, "Of course, I'll save the good stuff for last."

He was so high-spirited that he wanted to give Kovpak a slap in the face. He was not such a tormenter, but at the same time he was depressed, he was also very happy, very happy.

"Fake! You should have told me if you had something valuable! I thought I was going to lose this time. Tell me, do you have any other good stuff there?"

Kovpak smiled and said solemnly: "Missiles! Portable anti-aircraft missiles!"

Gao Yang was elated and said: "Air defense missiles? This is a good thing. How many do you have?"

Kovpak shrugged and said: "You can't finish it. Well, in 2006, our warehouse was renovated and several new warehouses with better conditions were built. They are mainly used to store missiles. Where can I have 200 sa- 18 anti-aircraft missiles, approximately three hundred sets of SA-7, all of which are SA-7B type."

There were nearly five hundred sets of anti-aircraft missiles. Gao Yang felt that his heart was about to beat out of his chest. With such a large number of portable anti-aircraft missiles, to hell with those cheap items such as submunitions and artillery shells.

Erin said happily: "Why so many?"

Kovpak shrugged and said: "Is it a lot? I don't think this is the majority of the portable air defense missiles owned by the Northern Command. To protect Kiev's airspace, so few missiles are not too much. As I said, this is a strategic reserve. library."

Gao Yang said excitedly: "Are there any others? I said are there any valuable ones?"

Kovpak thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Yes, anti-tank missiles, 9m113 anti-tank missiles. The number of five hundred is more accurate because it was just counted not long ago, but there is a problem. There are only missiles without launchers. There are no launchers."

9m113 is the Soviet code name. This is an anti-tank missile equipped by the Soviet Union in the 1970s. It belongs to the second generation. The code name from NATO is the AT-5 spandrel missile. This missile can be mounted on a vehicle or used by an individual soldier.

Gao Yang's happy heart almost jumped out of his chest. It didn't matter if he didn't have a launcher. He could find it elsewhere. The key was that missiles were much more expensive than artillery shells. One shot cost tens of thousands of dollars. With these things, this This is a business that makes no money.

"Is there any more? Is there any more?"

Seeing Gao Yang's excited look, Kovpak smiled and said: "Because our warehouse cannot meet the requirements for storing missiles. Only a newly built warehouse in 2006 met the standard, so we only stored some in small batches. Apart from these In addition, there are only about three hundred rounds of 125mm gun-launched laser-guided anti-tank missiles. Let's save them for the First Tank Brigade. Their equipment warehouse cannot be stored temporarily, but it is yours now, if you want it. , there are no other missiles, that's all."

Gao Yang took a long breath, then looked at Kovpak and said: "Very good, very good. Now I only have one question left. Can you guarantee that we can get these good things out?" (To be completed.
