Meanwhile, Tripoli, Libya, port warehouse
The attack at the Al Awar Hotel sent the whole of Tripoli into a panic, but as the other protagonist of the whole thing, Tasha didn't care about it. The Bald Eagle person died, regardless of whether it had anything to do with her or not. , she won’t even care. If you have that time, wouldn’t it be better to sell more things?
Early in the morning, she took Wang Yue back to the port warehouse. She wanted to show Wang Yue her latest product - the T38 amphibious reconnaissance tank.
"Victor, how about it, T-38 amphibious reconnaissance tank, crew of 2 people; weight 3.3 tons; powered by a "Gaz" AA or "Gaz" M1 gasoline engine, power 40 horsepower; length 3.78 meters; width 3.33 meters; height 1.63 meters; maximum road speed 40 kilometers per hour; maximum road driving distance 170 kilometers; armament is a 7.62mm DT machine gun or 20mm Sh VAK cannon, there are two hundred and thirteen vehicles here, equipped with a 7.62mm DT machine gun or 20mm There are half models of Sh VAK cannons." Tasha and Wang Yue were standing next to a small tank, looking at each other's treasures.
"Tasha, I just asked you to find some small tanks, but I didn't say I wanted so many!" Wang Yue smiled bitterly. Not long ago, he emptied the 146 CV-33 tanks in his hand, but as soon as Tasha changed hands, he gave himself another one. I got two hundred T-38 amphibious reconnaissance tanks. I just want to get twenty or thirty small tanks to help Li Yunlong form a tank battalion.
"Victor, I only have more than two hundred T38 reconnaissance tanks in my hands. If I sell you dozens of them, the rest will be even harder to sell." Tasha complained with an aggrieved look. This kind of tank was in the Alliance back then. More than 1,300 vehicles were manufactured, and many were lost during the war. However, when the alliance disintegrated, Old Romanov and the others still obtained several hundred vehicles. At that time, they thought they could be slowly sold as antiques, but decades later, their hands There are still more than two hundred cars left in the car. Under the influence of political factors, the outside world's recognition of this thing is very low. Even if there is interest, the price given is very low. It is easy to talk to someone who is taken advantage of. Naturally It is about seizing the opportunity to clear positions.
"How much does one cost?" Wang Yue looked at the girl and probably guessed what she was thinking. Alas, I stayed up all night to save you, but what I got in exchange was a stab in the head. Girl, you have changed, you have really changed. , I almost don’t like you anymore.
"Two hundred thousand dollars, Victor, this is something that is more than eighty years old. It's in very good condition. I spent a lot of effort to find it!" Tasha said in embarrassment. In fact, she just looked through her father's old notebook. .
"I can't afford it. I don't want it. You can give me two hundred Valentine infantry tanks instead. That one is cheaper!" Wang Yue turned around and was about to leave. The T55/54 in its original state only cost 150,000 US dollars. Just these three Tons of little thin skin? Can't you ask Said to get some bulletproof steel plates and weld one yourself?
"Victor, I still have a lot of Valentine in my hands. It's different from this T38 reconnaissance tank. This is out of print and will go into a museum in the future. You won't lose money if you buy it back." Tasha pouted, This is where the cuteness begins.
"Tasha, a car costs 80,000 US dollars. I can pay in gold. If you think it's okay, I can pay you the bill in a moment." Wang Yue shook his head gently. There are more than two hundred amphibious tanks. I don't know if they will. It scares the Chairman of the Standing Committee to death. With this thing, the natural chasm between Li Yunlong and the northern urban area is not so safe, although it is a bit reluctant to cross the Yangtze River with a T-38 amphibious reconnaissance tank.
"Victor——" Tasha looked resentful. It would cost a lot of money to pack up so many tanks and transport them to Libby. Alas, business is really hard to do.
"Sell it or not? If so, I will continue to collect the scraps in your hand." Wang Yue glanced at Tasha angrily. This girl often makes her own decisions recently to get some used goods from the Far East and wants to deal with them for herself. For the girl, there is no cost, just a little freight, which is basically profit. For herself, these worthless "scrap iron" are good things, and she can enrich her inventory little by little.
"I've been waiting for your words. Half a million Mosin-Nagant M1891 rifles. Although they are all old guns and old models, they are cheap. Each one only costs thirty dollars. Victor, how about it? I I know you will definitely be interested." Tasha came up again, took Wang Yue's arm, shook it gently, and the elastic part rubbed Wang Yue, making the guy suddenly feel distracted.
"Why are so many old guns sealed? The Alliance made so many new guns during the war. Why are the old guns sealed?" Wang Yue didn't understand.
"The Siberian railway transportation capacity is limited. After the war, the military was particularly worried about material shortages after the outbreak of the Third World War, so there were more old-fashioned weapons sealed in the Far East. Those guys in the military even wanted to use the Kwantung Army All the weapons are sealed, thank them they didn't do that, otherwise I would go crazy!" Tasha complained. In the western region, there are more new Mosin Nagant m1938 guns sealed, and they are all sold by the pound. He has The hundreds of thousands of rifles in it are a big pit that cannot be dealt with at all.
"Do you have bullets? I want to keep some good ones." Wang Yue nodded, but he was more worried about the bullet problem. The quality of the bullets produced by the alliance was really not good. The last batch, when Li Yunlong was training After using it, the misfire rate of those bullets produced during World War II reached more than 10%. The rifle was okay, but it was a disaster when used on a machine gun.
"Yes, it's just Type 53 rifle ammunition. I can help you buy it. 8 rounds for one dollar, do you think that's okay?" Tasha was a little embarrassed. Alliance also has iron box ammunition, but naturally it has been stored for too long, and the rate of blind fire has increased. Generally not low, after all, the earliest ones are 80 years old, and the military of newer dates is not willing to sell them at low prices. Many of the ones sold by Huaxia are from the 1960s and 1970s, and the production requirements are not low, and the preserved ones are It’s okay, the blind fire rate is very low, but the price is a bit expensive.
"Ten million rounds, and I also want these rifles from you." Wang Yue thought for a while and agreed. The war there in 1940 would last for several years, and he would definitely not be able to stock up on more weapons and ammunition. Suffering.
"Thank you, boss! Victor, do you still want the two hundred Valentine infantry tanks you mentioned just now?" Tasha smiled happily. The net profit from the rifle was more than 14 million US dollars, and it can be counted as her own. To make private money, what could be more satisfying than selling scrap metal? Moreover, Victor likes to pay bills with gold to make his private money more secure. He is really cute.
"Yes, Tasha, how many do you have in your hands?" Wang Yue was curious. With so many British tanks in your hands, are you really polite to those invincible Alliance tank groups?
"I should have at least four figures worth of this thing in my hand, but some of it is not in very good condition and is being repaired and debugged." Tasha looked worried. There were too many rags in his hand, and they were all It's worthless, just throw it away, it won't work. If you meet a collector, it may cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, but if you don't throw it away, it will be difficult to do even the most basic maintenance.
"The Valentine infantry tank you have the most is not, right?" Wang Yue was also shocked. The British didn't even build 10,000 of them. After eighty years, you still have 1,000 of them?
"No, I have more T-27 tanks than this." Tasha held her forehead, oh, unreliable dad, look at what you gave your girl, there is nothing in front of you As far as this guy is concerned, what's the difference between those tanks and scrap metal?
"T-27? Didn't that little thin-skinned one retire soon after the war?" Wang Yueqi asked. He knew that the T-27 tank was not as good as the CV-33 tank in various indicators. Even if it was thin-skinned, it only had a 7.62 mm tank. The combat effectiveness of the machine gun is probably about the same as that of a bean tank, and even the T-38 in front of me can beat it.
"At that time, the military was constantly transferring equipment and soldiers from the Far East. In order to make up for the emptiness on the Eastern Front, a large number of T-27 tanks were sent to the Far East. Anyway, the Japanese did not have any decent tanks in their hands. By 1945, the alliance was not Nearly 80% of the destroyed T-27s were in the Far East. After the war, even military aid could not reach them, so they had to be mothballed. How about, Victor, a thousand of them for fun? It’s cheap, just one. Only thirty thousand dollars." Seeing Wang Yue thinking, Tasha became more energetic. Her big eyes stared at Wang Yue expectantly and refused to leave.
"Okay, let's bring a thousand." Garbage is garbage, but it's also a tank. The number of tanks on the Little Devil's side is equally rare. If I pile up a thousand tanks at once, I really don't dare to think about it, and This thing is light, more than two tons, so it is still very suitable in southern China.
"Victor, wait, I have more than a thousand cars. I have to count how many there are. Why don't you buy them for me together." Tasha was also frightened by Wang Yue's generosity and bought a thousand cars. If you have a tank, it feels like you are buying vegetables at the vegetable market?
"For now, let's get a thousand vehicles. They should be in good condition and have enough spare parts and consumables. It's useless for you to keep them anyway. You can maintain the rest and we'll talk about it later." Wang Yue waved his hand. It was just a small tank worth 30,000 US dollars. , Wang Yue felt that there was no need to care so much. The income from selling this thing may not be as large as a thousand rifles, and it is not that easy to sell.
"Okay, if you hurry up, it will probably arrive in a month. Victor, if you need it urgently, you can ask me to transport it to you by plane. Of course, you have to pay the freight." My IL-76 has not been very popular recently. Since she was busy, Tasha just wanted to help with some business and make a little money.
"No need, by the way, those Li-2 transport planes are different these few times I have seen them, and when will my plane be ready for me to fly away? Didn't I say anytime before?" Wang Yue curled his lips, this girl, They must have commandeered my plane.
"The load capacity of the Li-2 transport aircraft is too low, less than two tons, and it can't even reach the 3.7 tons of the original C-47. I commissioned Mikoyan to make some minor modifications, mainly to reduce weight and replace the engine. Don't worry, The materials and technologies used are all up to the standard of Lager-3." Tasha smiled sheepishly. The plane sold to Wang Yue was too cheap. He wanted to help Mikoyan make more money as much as possible, although it might not be possible. Too much is better than nothing, right?
"Is there a lot of room for upgrades?" Wang Yue was helpless. In order to make money for his international company, Tasha was also trying her best to cheat her own money. By the way, I have carry-on space, is the load capacity of the plane important to me?
"Mikoyan increased the load capacity to 4 tons, but in actual use, our pilots pulled 5.5 tons, and the cabin was changed from a circle to an ellipse. After being widened, it can pull larger cargo. Through the enlarged side Hatch loading, you can load two T-27 light tanks at once." Tasha replied with a smile, and pulled out a bunch of photos of seemingly brand-new transport aircraft from her phone to show off to Wang Yue.
"Tasha, honestly, how much does this plane cost now?" Wang Yue said with a dark face. This was like remaking two planes. He was afraid that he would be taken advantage of again.
"Five million dollars for two planes." Tasha said in a low voice. She could swear to God that she wanted to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to replace the skin at the beginning, then, and then more and more, and finally reached She paid US$2.5 million for a plane. At this price, the plane was still calculated at US$50,000. She didn't increase the price. It was a real loss.
"Tasha!" Wang Yue was so angry.
