Chapter 758 Arms
To be fair, the Soviet Red Army had a very miserable life in the years before the collapse of the Soviet Union.
It’s okay to have a large-scale disarmament, reduce military spending, or something. The country’s economic difficulties will be overcome together. We don’t care about withdrawing troops from Afghanistan and Eastern Europe. That’s what the leaders of the Soviet Communist Party should worry about. Let’s obey orders. But why did Gorbachev’s new thinking suddenly treat our Red Army as a scapegoat? What the hell is going on?
I won’t mention the articles in the newspaper that collectively discredited the Soviet heroes such as Zhuo Ya. There are so many, and it can be said that they are countless (just like some big Vs collectively discredited China’s heroes). Let’s talk about the following representative things.
In the Red Square incident in 1987, West German flight enthusiast Rust made the entire Soviet Union a joke. The responsibility that the Soviet Air Force and Air Defense Force should have is not denied here, but it began to expand the process later, which implicated many innocent people. In the final result, the Soviet army actually became the only scapegoat?
There are also withdrawing troops from Afghanistan and actually conducting reverse propaganda. When you return to the country on the battlefield, you are shocked to hear that you have become an accomplice of the injustice war? Well, the Soviet Union's Afghan War was indeed an invader, but you must not slap yourself in the face at home? Take a step back and say, even if you have a spirit of self-criticism and have a tendency to abuse yourself, you cannot let the army be the scapegoat?
Anyway, these events made the morale of the Soviet army declining and the beliefs became increasingly confused.
Moreover, such public opinion has great lethality, which has caused the image and treatment of the Soviet army to plummet. The first thing to be affected is the resettlement of the returning troops, which is summarized into three words - no money is given!
This is a death to his own lives. In the real history of his previous life, even those returning soldiers did not have a barracks and could only live in stables. It is really amazing that the treatment of gray animals during the Tsarist Russian period has returned?
In desperation, he had to rely on his own strength, and the Soviet army began to seek income on its own. Later, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the custody and robbery of a large number of arms and military supplies had actually laid the consequences during this period.
Of course, as mentioned above, I will not do anything randomly at this time, at least on the surface, I will do business honestly. Therefore, with the support of Jing Jian, Irzyev joined forces with several good friends who had energy in the Soviet Union to contract the project to dismantle the Eastern European military base.
Anyway, I can't take these away, and even the ungrateful wolves in Eastern Europe don't want them, so I just demolish them and exchange them for some small money. The scrap copper and iron that were removed, and those things that were transported back to China in a mess were not cost-effective, and there was no place to throw them, and I was dealt with at a low price to this joint venture. Of course, I understand all the flowers that should be among them.
However, since he is a friend with energy, will he still be willing to make such "migrant workers"? Therefore, today, Lieutenant Colonel Yaxin met with Jing Jian, the God of Wealth, and wanted to find any new ways of wealth.
"Mr. Branbull, I wonder what you need? As long as we can do, nothing is wrong."
It seems that people are poor and the ambition is short, and the Soviet army has begun to give up their moral integrity. But how could Jing Jian be willing to get involved in those troubles? So he beat him up: "Give me all those scrap iron and other things, and I will give you a suitable price." Suddenly thinking of Fssoya, Jing Jian added: "Those that can still be used will be shipped directly to Fssoyahelan City. The others will be shipped to China. Can you arrange a ship? I can pay the transportation fee, all in US dollars."
Since Helan is close to the Atlantic Ocean, transportation from Europe is much more convenient.
"Of course it's okay." Lieutenant Colonel Yasin smiled. It was worth making hundreds of thousands of dollars. But at this moment, he suddenly thought: "Mr. Branbull, you mentioned Frossoya just now? It's a chaotic place. Are you interested in buying some self-defense weapons?"
"Oh?" Jing Jian didn't expect Yaxin to be so brave that he actually sold arms to himself. However, he knew that the arms market for African countries like Frosyya was quite complicated.
Some were Soviet military aid, some were European and American... Buying Soviet weapons aid is really the Soviet weapons that will unify the world. To be honest, except for several countries in South Africa and North Africa, those advanced weapons cannot be afforded or used by poor African countries, and they will not even be able to use them.
Therefore, Jing Jian felt aroused. If he could buy advanced weapons from the Soviet arsenal to the country, transport them back to China through some special white glove companies? Should it...?
"Haha." Jing Jian was ready... and refused. It was too stupid to ask in person. He could report it to relevant national departments and ask them to send someone to contact us for negotiation.
But before Jing Jian could speak, Yasin's words subverted Jing Jian's thoughts: "Mr. Branpur, although we can provide weapons, there are a few points that need to be paid attention to. We will never sell weapons to you China. This is too risky. We will not provide the latest equipment from the Soviet Union. Moreover, heavy weapons are difficult, but there is no problem with light weapons."
Jing Jian nodded. At this time, the Soviet Union had not been completely out of control after its disintegration, and at least it still had the final bottom line. Since that is the case, then there is no hurry for the time being, it is the next step of leisure. Anyway, it has only been about a year since the disintegration.
However, in Frossoya, we must strengthen our self-defense forces. After all, after having an oil field, we will definitely look around. Without the power to protect ourselves, isn’t that giving fat to others?
"I'm not interested in arms deals. But I'm developing farms, mines, etc. in Frossoya, and I have a lot of investments. And the situation there is indeed anarchy, and the security companies there need some self-defense weapons."
Yasing suddenly smiled into a crack: "What level do you hope to reach? We have channels to get some retired armored vehicles. I promise that the maintenance is great and will never disappoint you. The accessories you should have can be given, but after-sales service..."
"Oh?" Jing Jian was a little surprised. He just said that there were no heavy weapons, so why did he have armored vehicles now? "How many are there?"
"47 vehicles. Each vehicle is equipped with ten base ammunition, only $120,000."
