Chapter 668: Chapter 302: Three Wives and Four Concubines Are Very Common_2
Major Carter explained, “But even without advanced equipment and weapons tenders, we still remain vigilant at our posts to guard the border’s safety.”
Allen Zhang naturally didn’t believe his bullshit—damn second-hand arms.
Do you think you’re the General Sect Leader or what? Picking up other people’s discarded good junk and assembling it for sale.
There’s always a way around the rules. Could Colonel Wood have given you second-hand stuff? Isn’t it all brand-new treasure? You guys definitely wouldn’t take it if it wasn’t good quality.
But I must nonetheless applaud: “If every base in California could be as thrifty as Willton Base, then we wouldn’t have to worry about South American terrorists coming over and harming the border residents.”
It’s like they’re jumping over the fence to ask for Green Cards.
Nowadays, what terrorists? Aren’t they all desperate refugees!
Major Carter nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
Even without Willton Base, give those terrorists ten times the courage; they wouldn’t dare carry a bomb to attack a border city.
If there’s really such an anomaly, then you’d have to think about their motives and who’s backing them. If there truly were no threats, then there wouldn’t be any work for the military bases on the border, but as long as terrorists are active, then the military bases can maintain their status and flourish.
In this regard, Willton Military Base could be said to be doing its due diligence, a model of hard work in the military, with extremely high attendance rates, a minor scrimmage every March, a major one every May.
Even if the second-hand Black Hawks handed down from last century start smoking, they still have to fly over for a round.
Press those terrorists down by the head, grab their necks and hit hard; the main strategy is to produce excellent results with cheap equipment.
What can you say about that? It’s simply beyond impeachment!
Major Carter also took the General Sect Leader and a few others for a tour of the command center and the VIP client’s meeting room, where they had a couple of cups of cappuccino.
Perhaps also considering that they were not so well acquainted, they even spared the General Sect Leader of any intense entertainment.
About an hour later, Allen Zhang also received a message from the Beggar Gang Disciples. Major Carter received a report from soldiers that several heavy-duty trucks transporting goods had arrived at the military base.
“Mr. Jin, it looks like your people have already brought over that batch of goods.” Major Carter smiled, immediately giving the order to the on-duty soldier to let them through, and then proceeded to go out to meet them with the General Sect Leader.
The Beggar Gang Disciples drove three large trucks with San Francisco license plates to the military base. Under the direction of the soldiers, they parked in the armory’s storage area, got out of the trucks, and saw the General Sect Leader and the military district’s person in charge.
“Boss, 200,000 sets of military supply uniforms and those mysterious weapons and equipment have all been arranged properly,” the Beggar Gang Disciple reported to the General Sect Leader.
Allen Zhang asked them to open the doors of the trucks and, along with the military supply officers and soldiers, checked the goods on board. The supply officer also directed soldiers to move everything off the trucks with the base vehicles, unloading everything in about fifteen minutes and completing the count.
“Major, the 200,000 sets of military uniforms and the batch of military-manufactured goods have all been counted and are correct in number,” the supply officer, who was an Officer, came over with a list to report to Major Carter and handed him the contract list to review.
Major Carter nodded slightly, glanced at it for a few moments, and then signed his name on the order.
Two hundred thousand sets were just a rough estimate, in reality, one set more or less didn’t really matter, since they were also just middlemen, reselling to the ‘own people’ across the river.
“Major Carter, with so many military uniforms purchased, it seems like your soldiers and noncommissioned officers can’t possibly use them all up,” Allen Zhang asked knowingly.
He also saw inside several hundred sets of officer uniforms and dozens of colonel uniforms without a doubt all produced by some large country in the East’s Yiwu Clothing Factory. Moreover, they were well-made, virtually indistinguishable from the genuine military uniforms.
The key is they were cheap, 3 US Dollars a set.
Even if the General Sect Leader sold them to Willton for 28 US Dollars a set, they could turn around and sell them for 40 US Dollars a set to someone else, inflating prices at each step; who could withstand that! Thɪs chapter is updated by noᴠelfire.net
The General Sect Leader sells for 28 because that’s the price it can command in this marketplace; once you step out the door, no one would want it.
They sell for 40 because it can be easily sold outside for 40 or even at a higher price.
On the topic of “Why American equipment is so expensive”!
Major Carter tactfully said, “We also need to provide the necessary supplies to other brother units and ground personnel. You may not know, but in our effort to more thoroughly and effectively combat terrorist activities, we have submitted and signed a twelve-year contract with the Mexican government, also taking responsibility for security in parts of the US-Mexico border region, including the security supervision of some seaports, so Willton Military Base, in addition to its current base, also has three other small military bases and two naval bases in Californian Bay, specifically in charge of monitoring terrorist movements and contemporary South American pirate activities.”
Allen Zhang suddenly realized.
This damn thing is like conceding territory and paying indemnities. Mexico has handed over national border security to you guys, and you still say this isn’t another kind of overseas base.
The crucial point is, after so many years of your military bases being deployed, why has the counter-terrorism effort gotten increasingly intense?
Are the Black Hawk Helicopter’s cannons not sharp enough? Or are the Apache’s air-to-ground missiles not strong enough?
