Chapter 239 Uliyanke’s Big Deal

The role of a beautiful and handsome military uniform cannot be encompassed by the words "beautiful and handsome".

Whether it is the military or not, a handsome and uniform uniform can enhance the cohesion and morale of the group, while a rough and ugly uniform will have the opposite effect if it is so ugly that even the members of the group refuse to wear it. It's obvious.

Military uniforms must be handsome, so that young people will join the army without hesitation. This principle is universal all over the world, so military uniforms that are both beautiful and practical are the pursuit of all armies.

It is impossible for everyone in the Skeleton Gang to have a handsome uniform, but elites and officers must have one. Even if they are not handsome, they must at least be uniform, so that those who can wear military uniforms have a sense of identity with their small group. Having a sense of pride and respect allows those who have not been able to put on the military uniform to feel awe and envy for those who wear the military uniform, and strive to become one who wears the military uniform.

In response to Bruce's suggestion, Gao Yang and the others all nodded. Ma'eed had given them all the decision-making power on the equipment for building the army. No matter what weapons or military uniforms to buy, it would be up to them.

The Skeleton Gang has armed personnel, but it cannot be called an army. In fact, there is no armed force in Somalia that can be called a real army. However, Gao Yang and the others can build an army from scratch, which gives them Greatly interested.

There are only a few types of weapons to choose from. Basically, there is no need to discuss it. But as for military uniforms, it is a bit confusing. Do you need only combat uniforms or dress uniforms? Military uniforms are very handsome and not cheap, especially the dress uniforms. The price of a good uniform is more than a soldier's weapon.

After basically deciding what equipment to use. Gao Yang wrote a list. But the quantity cannot be determined. Because he didn't know exactly how many people would be armed.

After making the list, Gao Yang looked at Ma Yid and said in a deep voice: "How many people do you have now? How many people can you arm? Also, do you plan to continue to expand in the future, or do you plan to maintain the current scale? I need to know These are the only ways to determine the quantity of weapons to purchase."

"We can now be counted as six hundred people. If necessary, we can raise a team of two thousand people in one day. Everyone has a gun."

Gao Yang couldn't help being surprised. Said: "So many people? You said that there are only four to five thousand people in the territory controlled by the Skeleton Gang."

Ma'eed smiled and said: "In China, when people go out on the streets, they must carry their mobile phone wallet and keys. In Somalia, whenever you go out, the first thing you need to bring is a gun. Guns are our essential supplies." , almost every man here has a gun, if there is a war. As many men as we have, there are as many soldiers who can fight."

Gao Yang shook his head.

Said: "As I said before, those who can shoot are not necessarily soldiers. Let's put it this way, if you leave your job and become soldiers full-time, how many people can you have?"

"A thousand people, at least a thousand people. The people here have nothing to do. All the fish have been caught by the big European fishing boats. There is no need for so many fishermen. Moreover, this is a desert and there is no way to farm, so besides They had nothing to do besides being pirates and fishing, so it was no problem to pick a full-time soldier out of two men."

After discussing with Grolev and the others, Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "We already have a list, but we don't know the price yet. I have to make a phone call first to ask. After I know the price, I will decide what to buy. No matter how much it is, don’t worry, I will get a fair price for you.”

Ma Yid nodded and said: "We trust you, everything is up to you, as long as we can get the things."

Gao Yang nodded and did not leave. In front of Ma Yid, he called Ulyanke again, and Ulyanke answered the phone almost immediately.

"Gongyang, I've lost sleep because of your call. Don't hang up the phone mid-sentence like last time. Tell me, have you decided what to buy? Let me tell you, I have a lot of stuff on my hands now. The second-hand goods bought in Libya are waiting to be sold, and the prices are as cheap as you can imagine. We can make a lot of money by working together."

Gao Yang smiled and said: "We don't want scrap metal. I'm just an introducer, and the buyer wants good stuff. Ulyangke, you must not fool people with scrap metal, otherwise If the buyer doesn’t want your goods anymore, don’t blame me.”

"What? Are you kidding? Aren't you going to deliver goods to Somalia? I said brother, Somalis like bargains. Second-hand goods purchased from Libya are very popular in Somalia, but you actually told Don’t they want second-hand goods?”

Ulyanke's words had already proved that the second-hand goods in his hand were just a pile of scrap metal. Gao Yang quickly said: "I said, we really don't want scrap metal, otherwise we won't be able to do this business. The price will be too high." Cheap and good quality does not mean cheap rags.”

Ulyangke said very nervously: "Do you really don't want second-hand goods? I still have a lot of good second-hand goods, and I can give them to you at a very low price. Are you interested?"

"Wait, listen to what I want first, and then we will consider the issue of second-hand goods. What is the price of the AK74? It is brand new and made in Russia. The bullets must also be made in Russia. There are also RPG-7s, launch tubes and rockets. I want it to be made in Russia, M72 or RPG26, and Type 63 107mm rocket launcher. This one wants to be made in China, please give me a price."

"I have a lot of AK74 here. A gun comes with six magazines and a thousand rounds of ammunition. It is brand new from Russia and costs US$800.

The price of a brand new RPG is US$200, without sights, with white light sights it is US$350, with low light sights it is US$800, rockets range from US$40 to US$150, it’s up to you What kind of ammunition do you want? But if you want second-hand goods, the launch tubes cost one hundred dollars each. I guarantee that there will be no problems in use. I will choose one that is at least 70% new for you.

There is no m72. RPG26 costs three hundred dollars each. It was produced in the 1990s and is guaranteed to be the lowest price. As for the Type 63 rocket launcher, brother, you have to buy this second-hand. Do me a favor. It doesn’t matter if it’s decades old or new. Everything works just as well as the ones shipped from the factory. Second-hand goods are dirt cheap. I'll give you a set price of $50,000. And the price is based on the ammunition base. This gun has been discontinued by China for many years. I definitely can't find it for you. However, I have more than twenty 63 rocket launchers on hand, and there is absolutely no problem in using it. "

Every time Uli Yangke quoted a price, Gao Yang wrote it down on paper. After Uli Yangke finished speaking, Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "I am asking the price for others. You can make a reasonable profit, but You can't ask for a price that is too high. As a friend, I have to remind you again that this is very likely to be a long-term transaction. Don't lose long-term benefits by the immediate benefits."

"Brother, I love money, and you will never give me less than you deserve, but I will never reach out for anything you shouldn't ask for. Brother, you have to believe in my professional ethics."

"Understood. So what kind of sniper rifle do you have? Semi-automatic and bolt-action type, what do you have?"

"There are a lot of Dragunovs. I don't have the pull-back type. You know these guns are not easy to sell, so I only have a dozen Dragunovs. But the trouble is that I don't have a Dragunov." Gunnov's special bullet, this is annoying, but I can prepare it quickly if you need it, you just need to give me a model."

Dragunov is SVD. When he learned that although Ulyanko had SVD, he did not have SVD's special sniper bullets, Gao Yang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. If SVD does not use special bullets, its accuracy will be greatly affected. , so after thinking about it, Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "Let's do this. I first need twenty m21s, and I also need twenty m40a1s. If there is no m40a1, then the civilian version of Remington m700 will also work, and both will be equipped. How much does it cost to put the scope on?”

Gao Yang felt that there should be no problem in picking out twenty precision shooters and twenty snipers from a thousand people. Even if he couldn't pick out, it would be fine to prepare the guns first and then pick slowly. It is better to have guns and no one than someone. There is no gun, and the reason why he chose m21 and m40a1 is because these two guns have the same bullets. When buying bullets, they only need to buy one type, which can also reduce some logistical pressure.

After Ulyanke was silent for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "I don't have these on hand, but I can order them. I can give you an accurate price soon. Where are the bullets? Two thousand rounds for each gun?"

"No, 10,000 rounds of ammunition requires a lot of live-fire training, so each gun is equipped with 10,000 rounds of ammunition. However, forget about the high-priced special ammunition. Well, you can just choose a brand with high accuracy and good reputation. Okay, for the time being. That’s it for now, I’ll call you again in a while.”

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yang handed the list to Ma Yid and said in a deep voice: "See if the price is acceptable."

Gao Yang wrote the list in Chinese characters, but Ma Yid did not take the list. Instead, he pushed Gao Yang's hand back and said with a smile: "I don't know the price of arms. It's useless for you to show me. Besides, Don’t be suspicious of people, don’t be suspicious of people who employ people, this matter has been handed over to you, you can make your own decision.”

Gao Yang nodded and said: "You have to buy a lot of bullets. At least two million rounds of 5.45mm rifle ammunition for the ak74. As for the ak47, which has been the main weapon for a long time, it will take 10 million rounds of 7.62mm rifle ammunition." Bullets, both made in Russia and China are fine, and there are about 10,000 grenades. As for landmines, I think it’s better not to buy them yet. Whether it’s planting or raising mines, they need to be trained. We don’t have enough manpower. and time to train them to lay mines.”

Grolev nodded and said solemnly: "We can ignore landmines for now. For RPGs, the difference between having sights and not is really big. Most RPGs on the African battlefield do not have sights, and they don't have sights." I don’t know how to use sights, but I think we should still be equipped with some low-light sights. We don’t need many, fifty sights are enough. They are very useful in night battles.”

For fear of missing something, Gao Yang and the others discussed and decided on the things they wanted to buy one by one. Gradually, there were more and more things on the list. Gao Yang also called Ulyanke from time to time. After calling After that, things were added or deleted from the list. After discussing for a long time, Gao Yang finally reported everything he needed, and then got the total quotation from Ulyanke. (To be continued...)

ps: It’s the last day of May. Brothers, if you still have monthly tickets in your hands, throw them all over and have a perfect ending.
