Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 113: Upgrading to a Cannon

"Arrow-3?!"

He quickly pried open the box.

After removing the moisture-proof paper, there was indeed an "Arrow-3" individual shoulder-fired air defense missile launcher lying inside.

This thing was made in the former Soviet Union and is also called the SAM-14 air defense missile.

Song Heping picked it up, tried it in his hand, and then carried it on his shoulder to feel it again.

He had seen this thing before.

I've seen it in a foreign military weapons use course.

This is the first time I got a brand new one.

"nice one!"

Samir, an outsider, saw Song Heping so excited and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Boss, is this an anti-tank weapon?"

The hunter laughed and said, "This is an anti-aircraft weapon, used to shoot down planes!"

"With it, helicopters can also handle it in the future."

Song Heping took the Arrow-3 air defense missile launcher off his shoulder and looked at it again and again in his hand.

"Although it's an old model, it's enough to shoot down low-altitude helicopters."

The hunter asked, "How many do you plan to buy, boss?"

Song Heping asked Yusuf beside him: "Brother, how much is this?"

"One thousand dollars a piece." Yusuf said without hesitation: "With bullets."

Song Heping didn't think it was expensive, but he still lowered the price: "How about 800?"

Yusuf thought for a moment and said, "Okay, 800 is 800. How many do you want?"

Song Heping asked: "How many do you have here?"

Yusuf said, "100."

100 bodies, that's $80000.

But this thing is rare.

At least it is a rare thing in Irigo.

And there are many people in the Middle East who want this thing.

It is the best-selling individual weapon.

"I want it all."

Song Heping answered generously.

"No."

Yusuf refused.

Song Heping was stunned and asked, "Why not?"

Yusuf said, "I have to keep 10 bodies as a sample. If I sell them all, I won't be able to explain myself when the time comes."

Song Heping suddenly understood and couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha, okay, 90 bodies, I'll take care of it."

Negotiate the price and the items.

All that’s left is to take action.

The people arranged by Yusuf also arrived quickly and began to load the specified number of weapons into the car according to the list.

In this way, a group of people were busy in the warehouse until almost dawn and still hadn't finished moving.

When it was daybreak, we had to call it a day and made an appointment to continue moving tomorrow night.

During the loading process, Song Heping did some calculations himself.

This time, a total of 3000 AK47s, 3000 AKM assault rifles, 1000 SVD sniper rifles, 1000 PRD light machine guns, 1000 PKM machine guns, 100 mortars of various types, 20 107 rocket launchers, and 90 "Arrow-3" air defense missile launchers were purchased.

The AK47 assault rifles are priced at US$75 each, and 3000 of them are worth a total of US$22.5.

The AKM assault rifles cost $150 each, and 1500 of them cost a total of $22.5.

The RPD light machine gun costs $150 each, and 1000 of them cost a total of $15.

The PKM machine guns cost $200 each, and 1000 of them cost a total of $20.

SVD sniper rifles are $200 each, and 1000 of them cost a total of $20.

Mortars have different models and calibers and different prices. Song Heping estimated that the average price is US$700 per mortar, and 100 mortars cost a total of US$7.

107 rocket launchers are $1000 each, 20 rocket launchers are $20000 in total
The Arrow-3 costs $800 each, and there are 90 of them, totaling $7.2.

The total cost of all arms purchases was US$116.5 million, plus US$2 for renting a warehouse for a year. That night, Song Heping spent a total of US$118.5 million!
118.5 million.

Still dollars.

Converted to the exchange rate at that time, more than 9 million RMB was nearly 10 million.

Song Heping was even a little dazed.

After calculating the result, Song Heping felt his heartbeat quickening and his calves felt weak.

Just half a month ago, I felt bad about spending even 900 yuan at one time, let alone more than 9 million yuan.

Now, with just a wave of his hand, he spent more than nine million in one night!
How many times can I go to Wenzhou City if I stay in my hometown?
I'm afraid I won't be able to use it all even if I keep going until my legs get weak.

He called the cook to tell him the result.

The cook on the other end of the phone was even more excited than him after hearing this.

"Sang, we're going to make a killing this time! I have a way to sell these things. Even if I can't sell them in Irigo, I have some friends in Russia who need them! They also have sales in Africa!"

He didn't forget to add one more sentence at the end.

"This price is even cheaper than the factory price of our country's arsenal!"

In fact, Song Heping was not familiar with the arms business, nor was he an expert. He and Lao Yao used to buy and sell various groceries in Bakda, and had never been involved in this business.

But there is still basic common sense.

I've heard about making money from arms sales for a long time, but after actually getting involved today, I realized how huge the profits are.

The two of them laughed and joked on the phone about their future plans for making a fortune. After hanging up, Song Heping looked at the sky and decided to leave now and come back tomorrow night to continue moving bricks.

So a few people got in the car and took Yusuf home.

I had just sent Yusuf off and was on my way back to the Green Zone when the phone rang.

He thought it was the cook.

I took out my phone and looked at it.

It's a familiar number.

That was the number of the mobile phone he had given to Nasim.

At that time, I said that if Nasin thought it through and did not want to be an enemy of his mercenary group, he could use this phone to find me.

"Nasin."

Song Heping started teasing the other party as soon as he answered the phone.

"I didn't expect you to come back to me so soon. I thought you would need at least half a month to recover from your injury."

He had a good impression of Nasin.

Even though this guy was defeated by him twice and even cried in front of him once, he still had some integrity.

Nasin said, "If I had called you a day earlier, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to answer the phone, and it would have caused you trouble."

These words made Song Heping's heart skip a beat.

one day ago?

Wasn't that when he was detained by the CIA's Bakda intelligence station?

He actually knew about this?
"Your intelligence network is quite well-informed." Song Heping said, "You know about me?"

"Of course I know. Don't think we Persians are vegetarians." Nasin remained arrogant. "Does CIA waterboarding feel good?"

Song Heping said, "It's okay. It's not much different from drowning training."

Nasim said, "I have reported the matter you mentioned to me before to my superiors. They are very interested in you. My superiors said that if you really want to live in peace with us, you can find a time to talk."

Can we talk?
The boss he was talking about was probably from their Persian special forces, the legendary guards.

Song Heping was well aware that the two oil fields in the north could not be defended by mercenaries in the short term.

The oil fields will only be truly safe at least a year later, when Shadamu is captured, or when the entire territory of Yiligo is completely controlled by the coalition forces.

Otherwise, even if his company had 300 mercenaries, it would still not be able to defend the two large oil fields with a total area of ​​more than 500 square kilometers and more than 600 square kilometers respectively.

Before that, he had to deal with these armed factions.

Irigo's situation is too complicated.

You must learn to survive in the cracks.

It is impossible to expect the coalition forces to help.

An incident that happened before has made Song Heping wary until now.

When Nasin attacked the oil fields, he had someone send a distress signal to the coalition forces, but even after the problem was resolved, the coalition forces did not send air support.

He could have reported this to Mr. Turner and asked the Wood Group to inquire with the military to find out what was going on.

But after thinking it over again and again, I still chose not to do so.

Song Heping himself is very independent.

Because of his original family, he learned to rely on himself and try to trouble others as little as possible since he was young.

What's more, if he always asks the Wood Group for help, he and the "Musician" will probably be seen as incompetent in their eyes.

The contract was originally awarded on Nancy's behalf, and Mr. Wood was not willing to do it at the time.

Reporting too much about the actual situation here to them might lead to negative consequences.

People really have to rely on themselves.

So, Song Heping gave a straightforward answer: "No problem, three days later, you can arrange the time and place."

"I arrange it?"

Naxin never thought that Song Heping would be so bold and straightforward.

"Aren't you afraid that I might take you to Persia and have someone dig a pit and bury you alive?"

Song Heping smiled: "If I were really afraid, I wouldn't agree. But you can try. If I frown, I lose."

Nasin didn't answer for a long time.

Perhaps he was intimidated by the emphasis of a desperado like Song Heping.

Normally, people from special forces wouldn't be intimidated.

It’s just that Song Heping is his natural nemesis.

After losing twice in two encounters, Nasin himself is somewhat traumatized.

No matter what Song Heping said, he would not doubt its authenticity.

"Okay, you're brave!" Nasin said no more, "I'll find you in three days."

After hanging up the phone, Song Heping sat in the passenger seat and pondered for a long time, thinking about how to deal with the situation.

I don't know who will come to see me.

What level of boss is he?

"Boss, are you planning to meet with the Persian leaders?"

Samir, who was driving, suddenly asked.

Song Heping glanced at Samir.

Sammy didn't dare to say anything.

He suddenly felt that he had spoken too much.

Song Heping was a killing god in front of him and was very intimidating.

Unexpectedly, Song Heping nodded suddenly and admitted: "Yes, I will go to see their leader."

Samir said, "Persians are very cunning, you have to be careful."

Song Heping said: "I have no choice."

After a pause, he continued, "Samir, there is something I want to talk to you about."

"What's going on?" Samir asked.

"I plan to promote you to a management position in the company, with a monthly salary of $1 and high-value life insurance. Once I have enough people, I plan to establish two mercenary companies, with you as the captain of one. Are you willing?"

When Samir heard that Song Heping had suddenly increased his salary, he didn't react for a moment and was stunned for a while before he came to his senses.

Ten thousand dollars! ?

He thought he heard wrongly.

"Boss, how much do you want to pay me per month?"

"Ten thousand dollars, every month, for the same insurance as ours."

The company's core member insurance is US$50 in accident insurance.

This is much higher than ordinary local temporary mercenaries.

Happiness came so suddenly that Samir couldn't even hold the steering wheel.

Song Heping continued calmly, "Don't get excited. I'm a clear judge of rewards and punishments. You contributed to Yusuf's case this time, so this is a reward for you."

"Thank you, boss! Thank you so much!"

Samir's voice trembled with excitement.

After returning to the Green Zone, Samir drove home.

After the car drove away, Ferrari gave Song Heping a thumbs up: "Great!"

Song Heping smiled and said, "Ferrari, what did you see?"

Ferrari said, "Another person you've dragged into this. Taking your 10,000 yuan means he's an accomplice. We've shared the loot together. That's one of the three great bonds in life."

Unexpectedly, Ferrari really lived up to his one-quarter Chinese ancestry.

He even knew this sentence...

"Where did you learn this?" Song Heping asked curiously.

Ferrari said, "I'm going to tell you that I've read the entire Analects since I was ten years old. I'm going to tell you that I'm familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War? I'm going to tell you that I lived in China for seven years? Sang, you really underestimate me."

"Okay." Song Heping said, "Since you're so capable, you'll be in charge of the munitions storage. I plan to assign a detachment from the two squadrons of local mercenaries to be responsible for the security of the Ilda warehouse. Although Yusuf said he could send four guards, I don't trust the individual quality of the local soldiers. It must be our own people."

"Yes, I agree," Ferrari said. "The warehouse is a secret. The fewer people who know about it, the better."

"How's the recruitment going on your side?"

"Thanks to Tosamil, 120 people signed up today."

"let me see……"

Song Heping began to calculate the deployment of troops.

If there are two companies, equipped with the configuration of an infantry reinforced company, each company will have three infantry combat platoons, a firepower platoon, and a mortar platoon, for a total of five platoons. Such a reinforced company will require at least 140 people.

In addition to the troops guarding the warehouse, if a new office building is rented, security will also need to be set up inside the building. Taking into account the leave rate and paid leave rate, it means that at least 50 people need to be recruited in addition to the current 300 people.

The team was expanded to 350 people, with each person receiving a monthly salary of US$150, plus mission allowances and the like, totaling about US$300 per person.

With more people, we need to purchase at least 10 trucks to load weapons, ammunition and personnel for logistical support.

Military trucks are currently very expensive in Irigo, but you can consider asking Yusuf to look for old military trucks from the former government army.

Although those Soviet-era trucks consume a lot of fuel, they are tough and durable. Iriguo's fuel is not expensive, so it is a good alternative...

Song Heping was very familiar with the organization and firepower configuration.

He reorganized the troops completely according to the model of his own Chinese troops.

This way you can command it more easily.

"Tell Samir to recruit 300 people. Make sure you recruit that many!"

"300 people?!"

Ferrari's eyes bulged out.

"You just bought over a million worth of arms. Do you still have that much liquid capital?"

He was right.

Currently, the initial funding for the "Musician" defense relies on the original $5 million reward for capturing Saif.

Afterwards, each person was given 500,000 yuan, and Ferrari was given another sum of money to set up overseas investment funds and register companies, open offshore accounts, purchase personnel and equipment, etc.

There is only over one million left in the company's account now.

Now that they have purchased more than 1.1 million worth of arms, the entire account is almost empty.

Song Heping now only has more than 300,000 US dollars in liquid funds.

"Don't worry. We are basically self-sufficient in weapons and ammunition. We don't need to spend any more money. If we can hold on for a month, we will have $180 million in revenue. Then things will be easy. The most important thing now is to protect the two oil fields. If something goes wrong, we will go bankrupt."

After listening to Song Heping's plan, Ferrari felt that this young man was too hardworking.

It's a completely fail-or-die approach.

"Is this why you're going to see the Persians?"

"Correct!"

Song Heping nodded slightly and said, "As long as we can reach an agreement with the Persians, our pressure will be reduced by at least half. The only thing left is how to deal with the Kurds and the Free Alliance forces they support. But I already have an idea..."

Ferrari asked, "What's the idea?"

Song Heping said, "Ferrari, if there's a rock blocking your way while you're walking, what will you do?"

Ferrari said, "Go around."

Song Heping said: "I will kick him out directly."

　Please vote for me! I will continue to update 10,000 times today. Please give me more votes. I will see if I can last for a week.
