Warlord: Red Alert Base, I challenge the whole world alone

Chapter 20: Hugely Profitable Arms Trade, Earning Tens of Thousands of Dollars Every Month

Jiang Jingrui carefully counted the cannons in front of him.

Among them, there were 122 36mm cannons and 122 36mm howitzers, which was enough to shock him.

But there are actually 18 152mm large-caliber howitzers behind it, which is scary enough.

There are not many heavy artillery larger than 150mm, even in the Saibei Army.

But one of their divisions is equipped with 18 guns, which is a bit scary.

This thing is incorporated into the independent artillery unit of their Northern Frontier Army.

Jiang Jingrui stroked the barrel of the ML-20 152mm howitzer in front of him and sighed, "Now I feel that the combination of Fu Changqing and Tang Yuanhai can't pose any threat to you at all."

Semi-automatic rifles, general-purpose machine guns with terrifying firing rates, and an artillery regiment equipped with 90 cannons.

Apart from anything else, these 90 cannons alone are enough to make Fu Changqing suffer a lot.

What's more, as far as he knew, Jiang Hua's troops also had planes and tanks.

Suddenly he felt that Jiang Hua did not need to cooperate with their Saibei Army, and he could deal with them with his own strength.

This is exactly the effect Jiang Hua wants to achieve.

I am giving you face by cooperating with you, not that I must cooperate with the Saibei Army.

On the way back from the military camp, Jiang Jingrui didn't say a word, but seemed to be thinking about something.

"Brother, I think Jiang Hua is very unusual.

A few months ago, he was being hunted and hiding everywhere, but now he is able to gather such a large army with such luxurious equipment.

When I looked at him, it was as if he was covered by a veil, and I couldn't see clearly. It gave me a very mysterious feeling."

Jiang Jingrui nodded and said, "Yes, so many people and equipment seemed to appear out of thin air. It's incredible. I really don't know how he did it and who is supporting him.

I don’t understand. I don’t understand at all.”

When Jiang Jingrui returned to the compound assigned to them, Jiang Hua came to visit him with a group of people.

Jiang Jingrui's attitude has already shown their desire and need for advanced weapons and equipment.

Jiang Hua naturally couldn't miss this opportunity to make money, so he took the initiative to go to the door to sell the products.

After the meeting, Jiang Hua also stated his purpose frankly.

The Saibei Army has the demand and they have the goods, so there is naturally no need to hide it as if it is shameful.

"Oh? Is there a list? I'd like to see it."

An officer next to Jiang Hua handed him a list as thick as a photo album.

Not only are there names and performance indicators for the weapons, but they are also thoughtfully equipped with color photos.

This weapons list is specially customized for the Saibei Army.

The weapons and equipment shown above are very targeted.

The rifle appeared in front.

There are only two types of rifles here, namely the G98 Mauser rifle and the ZH-29 semi-automatic rifle.

Although the Saibei Army and the Fuso Kingdom are relatively close, the most commonly used rifles by the Saibei Army, the Northern Frontier, and the Southern Alliance are still the Mauser rifles of the Hans Kingdom.

Most of their ammunition is also 7.92 Mauser rifle bullets.

Originally, Jiang Jingrui was not interested in the G98 rifle.

Because their Saibei Army can make its own rifles, their Shengzhou Arsenal can produce thousands of rifles every month.

Although it is not as good as the Mauser rifle in terms of performance and reliability, it is sufficient for their Northern Sai Army.

But when he saw the price of the G98 Mauser rifle, his eyes widened.

"8...80 dollars a gun? And each gun comes with 20 rounds of ammunition?"

According to the current price in the domestic arms market, the G98 Mauser rifle is around US$45, which is 2.5 oceans based on the exchange rate of 115 between the ocean and the US dollar.

But Jiang Hua only sells it for 80 yuan and gives away 20 bullets.

This price is really sweet.

Although their Saibei Army has no shortage of guns, other people do. Warlords of all sizes across the country emerge in groups every once in a while, and this is the market.

"How much can you supply every month? How much ammunition can you supply?"

Jiang Hua was stunned for a moment. He wanted to say that the supply was unlimited, but he swallowed the words and said a relatively conservative number.

"Rifles cost 5 per month, and million rounds of ammunition."

Jiang Jingrui thought about it and realized that this number was already very large.

No wonder Jiang Hua dared to equip his rifle with a large number of semi-automatic rifles and machine guns with terrifying firing rates. He has no shortage of bullets at all.

Although their Shengzhou Arsenal produces 40 bullets per month, when it is distributed evenly among the 30 Saibei Army, each person does not even get two bullets.

"Brother Jiang, let me tell you the truth, we in the Saibei Army have no shortage of rifles, so if you sell them to us, you won't be able to sell them.

How about this, you and I work together, you sell them to me at this price, and I ship these weapons to the south to sell them.

The South is very rich and has a big shortage of weapons. This way we can both make a fortune. What do you think?

As for the North, I will definitely not sell it, you can rest assured about that."

Now it was Jiang Hua's turn to be stunned.

How did selling arms become cooperation?

However, this proposal was indeed very good and aroused Jiang Hua's great interest.

He has no shortage of weapons. As long as there is enough money, the Red Alert base can have as many as it wants.

However, there is no channel for external sales, but Jiang Jingrui has this channel.

So the cooperation between the two has a foundation.

He sold each rifle to Jiang Jingrui for 80 yuan, and it was up to him to decide the price.

He can sell a large number of weapons every month, and Jiang Jingrui can also make money from it. It is a win-win situation for both parties.

"Okay, then I'll sell them to you for 80 bucks each, and I'll give you 20 rounds of ammunition for each."

Jiang Jingrui's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "I'd like to thank you, Brother Jiang, right here. I promise to get at least 2 bullets from you every month, and at least 500 million rounds of ammunition every month."

After hearing Jiang Jingrui's words, Jiang Hua began to calculate in his mind.

Each rifle costs 80 yuan, and 2 rifles cost 160 million yuan.

Mauser bullets also cost 80 dollars per thousand rounds.

The market price is about 100 yuan per thousand rounds.

500 million issued per month is 40 yuan.

That means that 200 million dollars are brought in every month from here alone.

He eats the meat and Jiang Jingrui uses his channels to drink the soup. This business is completely feasible and there is no need to bear any risks.

After the first cooperation was reached, both parties were very happy.

Jiang Jingrui felt that Jiang Hua had a lot of good things here and they could continue to cooperate in selling arms, so he continued to look through them.

The second page is the ZH-29 Czech-made semi-automatic rifle.

This thing is much more expensive. A single one without bullets costs 200 dollars.

"Give me 2000 of these rifles. I'll use them to equip my guards."

Jiang Jingrui's guard is a guard regiment with about 3000 people.

2000 guns cost 40 yuan, which shows how wealthy the young commander of the Saibei Army is.

There's a machine gun behind it.

There are three types of machine guns.

They are the ZB-26 Czech light machine gun, the Maxim heavy machine gun and the M2 heavy machine gun.

Czech light machine guns and Maxim heavy machine guns were in short supply in the ancient country and were definitely hard currency.

Although we cannot say how many are sold, the demand is still not small.

As for the 12.7mm large-caliber heavy machine gun, the market for it is very small.

Because it's too heavy and too expensive.

1000 Czech light machine guns are sold every month, with a wholesale price of 1000 oceans, a market price between 1200 and 1400 oceans, and a total wholesale price of 100 million oceans per month.

500 Maxim heavy machine guns are produced every month, with a wholesale price of 1200 oceans, a market price between 1300 and 1500 oceans, and a total wholesale price of 60 oceans per month.

The reason why the prices of the Czech light machine gun and the Maxim heavy machine gun are not much different is because there are too many imitations of the Maxim heavy machine gun in China.

If the price is too high, it won’t sell at all.

If you include machine gun bullets, there is absolutely no problem in earning 200 million dollars a month.

Then came the mortars.

The calibers of mortars are mainly 60mm, 82mm and 107mm.

The Saibei Army can also produce these mortars themselves, so the demand is not large and cooperation is still the main approach.

These three mortars and their shells can bring Jiang Hua 130 million yuan every month.

By this calculation, Jiang Hua can earn 530 million yuan every month from the cooperation on light weapons, and it is a fixed amount.

This has greatly alleviated Jiang Hua's financial pressure.

There are two major sources of fiscal revenue.

The first is taxation, and the second is debt.

Although he occupied a large area in the central and northern regions of Beire Province, with a population of three to four million.

But over the years, the warlords have exploited the people severely, and the heavy taxes and levies have made it impossible for many people to survive.

Jiang Hua has now abolished excessive taxes and levies. Under normal tax collection conditions, annual tax revenue will not exceed 500 million, but will be around 470 million.

That’s right, 470 million per year, not per month.

This is normal taxation.

Beire Province was plagued by warlords fighting each other for years, and neither industry nor agriculture could develop. The people were poor and destitute, but the landlords made a lot of money.

So don't count on any tax revenue.

Unless Jiang Hua also levied heavy taxes like those warlords, it would be almost 10 million oceans every year.

As for borrowing money, basically forget it.

Borrowing money requires credibility. Without credibility, how can others buy your bonds with real money?

This is why Jiang Hua is worried about fiscal revenue.

As expected, selling arms makes money, with an income of 530 million yuan per month.

Excluding the purchase cost of about 100 million from the base, there is 430 million every month.

The base currently has a monthly income of nearly 10 million dollars, but all of this money has to be used to increase military strength.

So these 430 million dollars every month are still very important.

Next comes the highlight - the cannon!

There are many types of artillery, and the main calibers are 75mm, 105mm and 120mm.

Jiang Hua has no intention of cooperating with this matter.

The profits from cannons are indeed huge, but if they become rampant in the country, it will still pose certain obstacles to the future.

Therefore, Jiang Hua only sold it in limited quantities to the Saibei Army and did not sell it to the outside world.

He was indeed short of money, but he had many things that could make money, so there was no need to rely on cannons to make money.

In fact, Jiang Jingrui understood it without Jiang Hua saying it, so he did not mention the cooperation in the cannon.

Light weapons and heavy weapons are different.

(After this plot, you will unify Beire and then upgrade the base. The base upgrade is absolutely awesome, and Red Alert weapons will appear.)
