Chapter 675 Arms

"Great Hongmen also has mercenaries?"

Qin Feng laughed and said, "Brother Bai, when did this mercenary appear? Why do I rarely hear about it in China?"

The domestic news often broadcasts scenes of foreign wars, but there is very little news about mercenaries. Before this, Qin Feng had rarely heard this term mentioned.

"You boy is ignorant."

Bai Zhentian poured himself a cup of tea, moistened his throat, and said, "Actually, as early as World War II, mercenaries appeared. You know the Flying Tigers back then?"

"You mean, during World War II, the flying brigade was formed entirely by Americans in China?"

Qin Feng nodded and said, "I know that. Those Americans have played a big role in the China-Myanmar region, but isn't that international aid?"

Domestic publicity for the American Flying Tigers has always been positive, and there have been many films with this theme in the past few years. The Flying Tigers captain Donald is a well-known hero.

"Fart international aid!"

Bai Zhentian spat and said angrily: "As for the Americans who don't see rabbits and don't stalk eagles, do you think they are willing to help our country for free?

The reason why Donald was able to pull up a flying team back then was actually because the KMT government paid a lot of money to let Donald poach the corners of the US Air Force. They were actually a bunch of mercenaries...

Every time these guys shoot down a Japanese plane, they are rewarded with high rewards. Otherwise, why would they fight with their lives?

The National Party government’s so-called Volunteer Flying Brigade is just a cover for the title they paid to hire Donald...”

"Don't talk so far, let's talk about what happened to you this time." Seeing that Bai Zhentian brought up the topic before liberation, Qin Feng interrupted him.

"It's the mercenary you mentioned."

Bai Zhentian stared at Qin Feng. Seeing Qin Feng's nonchalant expression, he could only say: "A shipment of Raytheon Company was hijacked in the Strait of Malacca, and all the employees on board disappeared. I am here to investigate this situation." something."

"The Strait of Malacca? Was it done by pirates?" Qin Feng was taken aback when he heard the words, and dared to rob the world's fifth largest arms dealer. I wonder if this group of people are ignorant and fearless, or have other purposes?

Bai Zhentian shook his head and said, "I don't know yet, there is only a vague satellite picture, but the possibility of pirates is very high, they probably don't know who owns these goods..."

"How do you say that?" Qin Feng asked.

"This batch of arms does not contain cutting-edge technology. The most lethal weapon is the rocket launcher, which is a weapon that can be completely circulated in the arms market. Except for pirates, it is impossible for any country or region to be interested in these weapons."

Bai Zhentian paused for a moment, and then said: "If there are weapons that involve US state secrets, then the person who comes to investigate will not be us, but the relevant departments of the US..."

Although Raytheon is one of the largest defense suppliers in the United States, it can receive many defense orders every year, but they also undertake arms orders from other countries, otherwise they would not be called the fifth largest defense contractor in the world.

Of course, it is impossible for Raytheon to sell the most cutting-edge weapons and equipment jointly developed with relevant US agencies. The weapons that can appear on the market are basically high-end products that have already been mastered by other countries.

"Tell me the ins and outs."

Qin Feng poured a cup of tea for Bai Zhentian, and said with some complaints: "Something happened in Asia, if you don't go to Xiang Huaxiang and Brother Hao, what's the point of dragging me?"

"This is Hongmen's internal affairs, can I find someone else?"

Bai Zhentian took a sip of tea and said, "Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with Kun Sha. If this bastard hadn't surrendered to the government army and disarmed himself, this matter would not have happened..."

It turned out that two years ago, Kun Sha, a big drug lord from the Golden Triangle, made a purchase worth [-] million US dollars from Raytheon in the arms market through other people's channels.

Although Raytheon knew that the person who ordered the arms was Kun Sha, as an arms dealer, they didn't care who the real buyer was at all for some orders that did not involve high-end secrets.

Just like when Iraq was fought back then, many arms companies were still secretly selling arms to Iraq, and many of them were American arms dealers who had an eye for money.

Therefore, Raytheon did not delve into the background of the person who purchased the arms. In early February this year, Raytheon sent the arms to Asia and temporarily stored them in a military base in the United States.

But what people did not expect was that during this period of time, Kun Sha actually disbanded his military forces and surrendered to the Burmese government.

The team is disbanded, what's the use of arms?In this way, this huge amount of arms has no place to go. Of course, the deposit that Kun Sha paid in advance can make up for the freight and other expenses of Raytheon's trip.

Before being able to find the next home to take over the munitions, Raytheon stored the munitions in that military base, and did not ship out the munitions until recently after negotiating with an African country.

It's just that this batch of munitions was destined to be full of disasters. When the ship carrying the munitions sailed to the Strait of Malacca, it was suddenly attacked by a group of armed men in the middle of the night and hijacked the entire ship.

"Boss Bai, this ship is full of ammunition, don't the escorts have weapons?"

After hearing Bai Zhentian's words, Qin Feng felt a little unbelievable. It sounded like a joke that a gang of thieves actually robbed a ship of munitions worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

"There are weapons, but no one would have thought that such a thing would happen."

Bai Zhentian laughed wryly when he heard the words. Although he didn't know the specific situation yet, he could imagine that the restless guards from Raytheon Company were probably having a drinking party on the ship at that time, right?
Moreover, there are various types of weapons on board, which does not mean that the guards can also be armed to the teeth.

If the opponent has weapons such as rocket launchers, in order to prevent the ship from being hit and exploded, there is also the possibility of the guards surrendering to the opponent.

"Brother Bai, what are you going to do?"

Qin Feng understood the cause and effect of the matter, and suddenly felt a little tricky. Those who dared to eat such a large amount of ammunition were either idiots or lunatics, and they were definitely desperadoes.

"Find out who did it first, and then make them pay the price!" Bai Zhentian's face showed a trace of cruelty.

In fact, there is one thing that Bai Zhentian has not explained to Qin Feng, that is, this batch of arms transactions was actually facilitated by him. At that time, Bai Zhentian was not the master of Hongmen.

At that time, there were constant wars in the Golden Triangle. In order to deal with the encirclement and suppression of the Golden Triangle by the three countries of Myanmar, Thailand and Laos, Kun Sha, who was originally related to Bai Zhentian, found Bai Zhentian.

Kun Sha showed Bai Zhentian that he was willing to pay a large deposit first, so that he could obtain the weapons they needed through Hongmen, including tank rockets and armor-piercing bombs.

Just because Hongmen doesn't do drug business doesn't mean they don't do arms business. Relying on Raytheon's products, Hongmen has made a lot of money from arms business over the years.

After weighing the pros and cons, Bai Zhentian persuaded some elders in the Hongmen to approve the arms deal.

Moreover, it is said that the sale of Raytheon Company was actually a contract signed by a small arms company under Hongmen and Kun Sha. The money for this armament had already been paid by Hongmen to Raytheon Company.

Now that this batch of arms has been hijacked, it is not Raytheon that actually suffers losses, but Hongmen itself. Someone has to come out and take responsibility for losses of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Therefore, Bai Zhentian, who has not yet secured his position as president, immediately received a lot of attacks and doubts from inside and outside the Hongmen.

Especially those hall masters who were forced to leave Hongmen's core, jumped up and down, wishing to use this matter to drive Bai Zhentian off the throne of president again, which also forced Bai Zhentian to come to handle this matter in person.

"Boss, it's useless to be ruthless. First of all, you must be able to find them."

Qin Feng glanced at the ruthless Bai Zhentian, and asked a little strangely: "Don't all your ships have satellite positioning? Why can't the lost ship be found, even the identity of the other party? "

"There are experts among those involved in this hijacking."

Bai Zhentian's face became serious, and he said: "Our satellite positioning only found that this ship disappeared near Malacca, and we can no longer locate it later. It must be that the other party dismantled the satellite positioning system..."

"Without any clues, why don't you ask me to accompany you to find a needle in a haystack?" Qin Feng opened his mouth wide when he heard the words. He had already begun to regret agreeing to accompany Bai Zhentian on this trip for the sake of the [-]% shares.

You must know that the area of ​​the sea is much larger than that of the continent. A ship may not look small, but in the sea, it is almost like a grain of sand in the desert.

There are no specific coordinates. If you want to find this ship in the sea, it really corresponds to the saying about finding a needle in a haystack.

"You think Hongmen is made of mud?"

Seeing Qin Feng's exaggerated expression, Bai Zhentian wanted to kick him in the face, and said angrily: "We have already notified the Malaysian military, and they will accompany us to search this sea area...

In addition, I also found an Indonesian who used to be a pirate. He has a good understanding of the distribution of pirates in this sea area, and he will be our guide when the time comes.

What's more, I have transferred the most elite group of people from Hongmen, and they are already in the sea area where the accident happened, so they must be able to find clues soon..."

Following Bai Zhentian's words, Qin Feng felt that once the huge machine of Hongmen can stand in the American society for a hundred years, once it is in operation, all Southeast Asian countries will be excited about it.
