Chapter 292 Shooting yourself in the foot

Sitting in the broken jeep that was breathing everywhere, Yang Jing felt very regretful. If he hadn't been in full view of the public, he would have really wanted to travel to the original time and space all at once, and then directly to the Nanqi mining area, so he would never have to suffer such a crime again.

Speaking of this, he blamed himself. He had heard about how difficult the roads in northern Myanmar were, so Yang Jing didn't know why he was so excited. He insisted on experiencing it himself, and it turned out to be a nearly disastrous tragedy now.

This is not the road for his sister. Even the mechanized farming road in rural China is a hundred times stronger than the road in northern Myanmar! And this is actually the road from Mandalay, the second largest city in Myanmar to Myitkyina, the capital of the northern Kachin State. If this is placed in China, this is the real national highway.

But here, the so-called highways, even the city of Mandalay, are rare. As for the more than 550 kilometers of journey from Mandalay to Myitkyina, Yang Jing really has no way to describe this road. This is really a hundred times worse than the worst road he has seen in his life!

Yang Jing really regretted it to death. He really didn't expect that northern Myanmar in the 1980s would be like this...

If it weren't for the fact that there was Mr. Nicholas Ballmer who went to Myitkyina with him and a local Myanmar driver, Yang Jing really wanted to shuttle back again...

The more than 500 kilometers from Mandalay to Myitkyina, this broken jeep and the big truck behind which was smuggling arms were actually walking for two and a half days! When Yang Jing climbed out of the car, he felt that all the bones on his body were moaning...

The lean and thin Nicholas Ballmer smiled and patted Yang Jing on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Smith, you are not good at physical fitness and need exercise."

The soreness all over his body made Yang Jing too lazy to even say rebuttals.

This Nicholas Ballmer is the Middle East arms dealer found by Mike Alerto, an American, who was said to have been a middle-level manager of Raytheon Company. Later, he didn't know how to offend people and ran away to the Middle East. As a result, in the Iraq-Iraq War that broke out a few years ago, it broke out with amazing energy and became a very famous underground arms dealer in the Middle East.

Of course, his reputation is only compared to the arms dealers who work alone. Compared with those rogue countries, he is not even a fly.

But even so, some people will still find him when they need "goods". For example, the last time Mike Aller asked someone to find him, and then transported 1,000 AK47s and 100 RPG7s, as well as corresponding ammunition to Kachin State, North Myanmar.

If such small transactions are in the eyes of arms dealers who are spokespersons in those countries, they will not even pay attention to you. But for private arms dealers like Nicholas Ballmer who always adheres to the principle of "no matter how small the legs of a mosquito is, they are still flesh", the hundreds of thousands of dollars of arms business is enough to make him 100% of the net profit.

Those AK47 and RPG7 don’t make much money, but those ammunitions make a lot of money. The Soviet Union’s ammunition is very cheap, so cheap you can’t imagine. Especially in the recent years when the Soviet Union became more and more uncomfortable, ten boxes of vodka can be exchanged for some division commander for these AK47 and RPG7 ammunition at the same base...

The first business made Nicholas Ballmer make some money, but he didn't take this kind of business seriously at that time. After all, even for him, this kind of business was not very big.

But just one year later, an order came over there, and this time it was no longer a Soviet-style arms such as AK47 and RPG7 that had long been eliminated. This time, they said that they had a full set of American machine guns and heavy machine guns, and there were also "Sthorn" individual surface-to-air missiles that had just been equipped with the US troops on a large scale.

Although there are not many, the profits of advanced weapons such as the "Sthorn" individual ground-to-air missiles are still huge, especially when they need four bases of ammunition at one's own mouth, the profits earned by this business are quite considerable.

Especially the individual surface-to-air missiles that just appeared on the battlefield in Afghanistan in 1986, which attacked the Soviets, especially the Soviet Air Force, were howling. A large number of Soviet soldiers fought with eagles and wings in the sky, and a large number of pilots broke their souls in foreign countries. As long as the stinger was shot on the plane, it would generally directly destroy or have no time to jump.

Moreover, the "Poisonous Sprig" has stable performance and full of lethality. More importantly, it has strong anti-jamming ability. Several previous missiles were quickly broken by Soviet jammers, but "Poisonous Sprig" means nothing to break and it is difficult to interfere.

It is no exaggeration to say that the emergence of the "Sthorn" immediately changed the current situation where the Soviet army had completely air supremacy on the battlefield of Afghanistan, and also made immortal military achievements for the Soviet army to eventually retreat to Afghanistan.

In particular, the unit price of "Sthorn" is only about 50,000 US dollars. If you add four base ammunition, just ten "Sthorn" and ammunition will be a deal of up to one million US dollars, and Nicholas Ballmer is enough to make more than 500,000 US dollars in "Sthorn" transactions.

Nicholas Ballmer was amazed now.

Could it be that Myanmar, which is so poor that he wishes three people could wear a pair of pants, could afford such things?

Myanmar is not like Afghanistan. Afghanistan is now a battlefield for confrontation between the two super empires of the United States and the Soviet Union, and a test site for various advanced weapons of Hawks and Bears. What is Myanmar? It has been fighting in succession for more than 40 years, and it is also a broken place without anyone taking care of it.

At this stage, whether it is Hawks or Hairy Bear, they have no idea about that place. The broken place is either a mountain or a mountain, and has almost no strategic position. The two superpowers have no intention of being interested in that place. If the rabbit had not taken action against the poor mountain and bad water in order to obtain the export of the Indian Ocean in the future, they would have taken action against the completely destroyed poor mountain and bad water in order to obtain the export of the Indian Ocean, otherwise even the rabbit would have no interest in paying attention to that place.

Now, why do you want to "stinger" there?

Mr. Nicholas Ballmer, who was unable to get his sister, was completely curious, so he decided to accompany the man who asked for this group of arms to travel to northern Myanmar.

It is not difficult to explore the road there. If we can open up another market outside the Middle East, wouldn’t we have more income?

The chaos in the Golden Triangle is well known to the world. If we can use these two arms transactions to break into the arms market of the Golden Triangle and occupy an important position, then wouldn’t the arms transactions in this area become their own pocket?

So, under this idea, Nicholas Ballmer met Mr. Cole Smith at a secret location in Mandalay. The referee was Wu Qinmao, the buyer of the last batch of arms.

Wu Qinmao had already received a notice from Mike Aller, knowing that the middle-aged American, who was almost 40 years old, was actually the biggest boss behind it. But Wu Qinmao really couldn't figure it out. A billionaire like this, who had a billionaire, would risk coming to a bad place like northern Myanmar at the risk?

Even if Wu Qinmao himself admitted that if it weren't for the annual salary of one million US dollars, he would never have returned to this place where he had nightmares. Although this was the place where he gave birth to him and raised him.

Now, when Wu Qinmao saw the boss who was no different from the one who had fallen apart, she couldn't help but smile for a long time.

A big boss like this who is pampered and has a great life, coming here is simply asking for trouble.

However, you still need to care about what you should care about.

"BOSS, are you in good health? Do you want to rest in Myitkyina for two days before we set out? It is still nearly 200 kilometers from Myitkyina to the Mukan mining area, and that section of the road is more difficult than the one I just walked. I am worried about your body..."

Yang Jing shook his old waist, nodded slightly, and said to Nicholas Ballmer: "Nick, let's take a break here tonight. I really can't walk anymore. If I go like this, I'm afraid I'll really see God."

When Nicholas Ballmer was waiting for Yang Jing in Mandalay, he also learned about the mysterious boss from Wu Qinmao's mouth. He vaguely knew that this compatriot, who looked younger than him, was a wealthy man with a billionaire and came from a very large family.

Nicholas Ballmer even guessed that Cole Smith even had a fake name, maybe his real identity even came from the eight major families in the United States...

As an arms dealer on the brink of life and death, Nicholas Ballmer certainly knew who could offend and who could not offend. Obviously, this rich man who was most likely to have fake names was definitely not something he could afford.

So, Nicholas Ballmer smiled very readily: "Mr. Smith, if you feel tired, we can rest for a night. Judging from your appearance, you should really have a good rest. I am not in a hurry, so I have no objection."

Yang Jing grinned and said with a hard time: "Wu, then please find a hotel to stay in. It is best to take a hot bath. Oh Maiga, this road is really too difficult to walk. I have to take a hot bath tonight."

Wu Qinmao nodded and said, "BOSS, don't worry. Although Myitkyina is not rich, I can still find a hotel that satisfies you."

Wu Qinmao didn't say anything nonsense. Although Myitkyina was the capital of Kachin State, it was still a very poor and backward city in the 1980s. Not to mention hotels, even a slightly decent hotel was difficult to find.

However, Wu Qinmao was born and raised from Myitkyina at least, so he didn't have to worry about finding a hotel that suits the boss's wishes.

It really doesn't work, even if you take the boss to your relative's house, it will be fine.

In fact, to be honest, Yang Jing was also suffering from it. There are two airports in Myitkyina, one is a small airport located in Myitkyina city. This airport was established as early as World War II. The other airport is a large airport with a 3.5-kilometer runway.

However, these two airports are now controlled by the Kachin Army, and were defeated by Peng Jiasheng, who had just obtained Wu Qinmao's weapons support at the beginning of 1986.

It is precisely for this reason that Yang Jing, who could have been able to come to Myitkyina by plane, can now only enter Myitkyina by jeep. Because Peng Jiasheng's Kachin army controlled Myitkyina, the situation in northern Myanmar became tense again. The Myanmar government army controlled the south and did not allow any plane to enter Myitkyina at all...

If Mike Aller hadn't supported Peng Jiasheng's batch of arms last year, Peng Jiasheng might have been living in seclusion.
