Chapter 1774 Cheating Brother-in-Law
? .
In the eyes of everyone, the ruler Ivan the Great has abdicated, and Gao Yang, the guy who came out of nowhere, has ascended the throne.
When the new emperor ascends the throne, he must do something. Get rid of the old forces and replace them with people he trusts. This kind of thing is reasonable.
The new emperor Gao Yang has just completed a major purge. To be precise, a major purge has just been carried out. Only Gao Yang knows whether it is over or not, and only he can choose when it will end. So regardless of why it was initiated, the purge is a purge. Purge, even if it is a major purge launched to eliminate traitors, it is easy to slightly expand the area of attack, right? This is reasonable.
So here's the problem. Kanchelski, a person who represents the old forces, had just received praise from the new boss and said that he could keep everything as is, when a huge flaw was revealed.
If Kanchelski decides not to care about anything and simply kills Gao Yang, the new emperor, then forget it. But the problem is that Kanchelski doesn’t dare to kill him. To be honest, Kanchelski Sky now thinks that he is really satisfied if he is the only one who dies without dragging down his family.
So, Kanchelski was really scared.
"I don't know, I'm sorry, I, I don't know..."
Kanchelski's teeth were chattering, and it was difficult for him to say that he didn't know.
Gao Yang held his head in his hands because he was really angry, very angry.
Cannons are expensive!
Cannons are really expensive, especially large-caliber artillery. Although cannons are the most common conventional weapons, cannons are really not that cheap.
A self-propelled artillery, not to mention a system, is just a bicycle with a low technological content. For example, the Russian 2S19 self-propelled artillery sells for three million US dollars. It is a system and has a high technological content. For example, Germany's PZH-2000 self-propelled artillery costs about US$7 million per unit.
What Gao Yang lost was a towed cannon, not a self-propelled cannon, but towed cannons are not cheap either. How much does the most advanced M777 towed 155mm howitzer cost? A total of four and a half million dollars a door! certainly. This is the most advanced gun, so it is very expensive, but how much does an FH77 towed howitzer developed by Sweden in the 1960s and equipped in the 1970s cost? Seven hundred thousand dollars! And when selling it to a famous gun like India, Sweden dares to ask for two million dollars a gun, excluding kickbacks.
The cannon thrown by Gao Yang is cheaper. Because Russian products are high-quality and cheap, but 2A65 costs at least 300,000 US dollars a door. Friendly price, fire sale price, it can't be any less, it can't be any lower.
Well now, 36 cannons are gone, and another 8,000 rounds of shells are lost.
Not to mention that the prices of different types of shells are also different. Calculated based on the cheapest type of ammunition, a 152mm cannon shell costs at least five hundred dollars, which is the cheapest type of ammunition! Yes at least!
Fighting means burning money, and this is not just talk.
A conservative estimate is that the loss of 36 cannons means a loss of 10 million US dollars, and the loss of 8,000 shells means at least 40 million US dollars. In total, 50 million US dollars are just lost.
But what makes Gao Yang most angry is not the 50 million, but the fact that he will soon be able to transport it to Somalia. Then the cannons that could be used within a month were gone. If he wanted to get 36 more cannons, God knows how long it would take, let alone when they would be sent to Somalia.
Arms. When there is no war, it is just a decoration, so whether it is Big Ivan or Gao Yang, you can pull it from Ukraine's arsenal at will, even if it is a cannon that has been equipped by the Ukrainian army, report it as damaged. The cannon can also be easily pulled out.
But is it the same now? Now that Ukraine has begun to fight, can this arms be the same in peacetime as in war? Not to mention the price, batches of Ukrainian troops have gone to the east with cannons, and the items in the arsenal are all After the whole warehouse was shipped out and the equipment was in place, they went to war. If Gao Yang wanted to get such 36 cannons, it would be a lot of effort.
Gao Yang was going crazy, Kanchelski was going crazy with fear.
"You don't know? Huh? You don't know?"
Gao Yang put his hands down from his head, pointed to the open space in front of him, turned to look at Kanchelski, and shouted: "A cannon! More than ten meters long! It weighs seven tons! It's so big here, The brand-new gun jacket covered with waterproof canvas is just gone! It’s gone, so I won’t ask you where the shells went! Now tell me! Where did my gun go!”
Kanchelski was really about to cry. He looked at the open space with a confused and desperate look on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "I was still here last time. I was still here last time. I didn't do anything. Did absolutely nothing and I really don’t know what’s going on, damn, what’s going on!”
Gao Yang was so angry that he laughed, and said with a smile: "You were here last time? You were here last time!"
Kanchelski said with a sad face: "The last time I came here was half a month ago. I have been really busy recently, chaotic and busy. I don't have time to come here to check. There is nothing urgent to be transported here. I'm sorry Peter , I really don’t know what happened!”
Gao Yang roared angrily: "Why don't we check it quickly! Could it be that my cannon will grow legs and run away on its own!"
Although he was roaring, Gao Yang's words already showed his trust in Kanchelski.
There was no other reason. Gao Yang believed that if Kanchelski took away the batch of cannons, he would not take him to see the warehouse anyway. There were too many reasons. At least, Kanchelski had countless ways to make himself There was no need for him to discover the reality that the cannon was lost when facing him.
Of course Kanchelsky understood what the high-pitched roar meant. He immediately turned around and roared at his driver and bodyguard: "Go get me the damn Piatov, take the people, don't let him He ran away!"
The driver ran away quickly. Gao Yang took a long breath, and with a slightly calmer voice, he said loudly: "Who is he?"
"He is responsible for looking after the warehouses. He is in charge of these warehouses. I have always trusted him, but I didn't expect that something like this would happen. If there is a problem, it must have something to do with him. Damn it, it must have something to do with him. relation."
After finishing speaking with a sad face, Kanchelsky hesitated for a moment, and then said in an even more depressed tone: "I think I have to tell you, Piatov, he, he is my wife's brother..."
Gao Yang looked at Kanchelski in surprise. Kanchelski was about to cry and whispered: "It's better to let someone you trust take responsibility for this kind of thing, and family members are relatively more trustworthy. But, I I didn’t expect that something like this would happen.”
The corner of Gao Yang's mouth twitched a few times, and then he said with a hint of helplessness: "Ha, ha, ha, brother-in-law, Kanchelski, your brother-in-law is cheating on me."
