Chapter 381 Breaking the promise

Along the way, Zhang Yang saw everything inside the fortress with his own eyes.

Armored gate.

Double wall.

Guns hung all over the wall.

Going further in, you can see ivory skins everywhere, Persian carpets covering the entire floor, and a decoration style that does not pay attention to aesthetics but is filled with the smell of money.

Daniel took Zhang Yang and the others to a huge reception room and left first.

"Please take a seat, my guest." A figure walked out from inside. "What would you like to drink? Red wine or strong liquor? I have vodka."

The man had a thick beard and deep eye sockets, a typical Slavic appearance.

Comparing it with the previously leaked photos, Zhang Yang naturally recognized at a glance that the person in front of him was Hogni, the big arms dealer who was causing trouble in Africa.

"Maybe champagne?" Zhang Yang smiled.

"Of course... I prepared it in advance." Hogen laughed, "But it has to wait until we have finalized the deal."

After a while, Hogen invited Zhang Yang to sit in the reception room.

In the reception room, there is a huge world map, and the map of Africa is covered with stars.

"My business territory." Hogen opened the cigar box, took out a cigar, and then pushed it to Zhang Yang. "Everyone thinks that I caused the war. In fact, I am a pacifist. I advocate peace and love nature."

"Indeed, I can see that." Zhang Yang looked at the entire lion skin under Hogni's butt.

"I hope Africa can return to its primitive state, so I sell them weapons to help them win the war quickly." Hogeni held a cigar between his legs, his beard shaking with laughter, "and earn some hard work fees... My guest, tell me what you want to do with the weapons."

"Arm yourself and protect your industry." Zhang Yang said bluntly, "I believe you have also investigated it."

"Of course." Hogeni squinted, "I even know who those armed groups that attacked you are... In fact, they are all my clients. You know I never pick and choose who I sell weapons to. I treat all countries, organizations, and even individuals that are under international sanctions equally."

"What did they buy from you?" Zhang Yang asked half-jokingly.

"AK47, bullets, RPG, machine guns, that's all. You know, they are very poor." Hogeni shrugged. "These organizations are very interesting. They have various names such as freedom, democracy, and peace, but what they do has nothing to do with these things."

He stood up and looked at Zhang Yang.

"And you, my friend, deserve better equipment to protect yourself. Perhaps you could visit my arsenal?"

Zhang Yang nodded, knowing that they were about to get down to business.

The essence of selling arms is also selling goods.

When selling cars, there are display cars; when selling mobile phones, there are prototypes; and since he sells arms here, naturally he has to have some real goods for people to see.

There is a long corridor from the back of the reception room, with bodyguards all along the way.

Finally, the scene became clear.

At the end of the corridor, there was actually a huge warehouse.

The warehouse is full of things, from small ones to big ones, it is truly amazing.

"M134, Vulcan Galiente, full system, 20 USD per set."

"If you think it's expensive, you can also consider the M2 heavy machine gun, which is only $14000, or this M240 machine gun?"

"What about this one? RPG7, very affordable, great deals for large quantities."

·
While watching, Zhang Yang whispered to Chris beside him.

The annual security fund of 300 million yuan did not have much left after equipping 500 mining guards. However, these weapons and equipment were much cheaper than he had imagined. They were so cheap that they could be bought as consumables.

There are expensive ones too.

For example, the Stinger missile, which is a man-portable air defense missile specially used to shoot down aircraft, costs US$120,000 per set. It costs nearly US$1 million per set, which is quite expensive.

As the arms exhibition hall of a major arms dealer, in addition to the common ones, there are even many large and rare items.

Rocket launchers, armored vehicles, tanks...even a fighter plane.

"The MiG-29 is still usable, with missiles and a pilot included, and the price is quite reasonable, five million US dollars." Hogeni smiled. "All equipment, military aircraft, free shipping, and after-sales service."

In the short term, Zhang Yang naturally won’t be able to use these big guys.

He had thought it through. All the military expenses would be paid from the annual security fund of 300 million. After the 500 sets of individual equipment this time, he only planned to continue buying some individual weapons or vehicle-mounted weapons. There was no need for rocket launchers, tanks, etc. for the time being.

Limited budget is one thing.

On the other hand, after all, he only planned to arm the mining protection team, not really to raise an army... Well, after being armed in this way, his mining protection team would only be called a mining protection team in name, and in essence it had become a battalion of special elites.

As for the future...it's hard to say.

After all, there are 300 million yuan every year. Even if the equipment and weapons are damaged or need to be eliminated, it is impossible to update them every year. Excluding consumables such as ammunition, he estimates that there will always be some big ones in the future.

Therefore, Zhang Yang asked Chris who was standing beside him, and he already had an idea in mind.

"Mr. Hogeni, five hundred sets of individual combat equipment. Oh, these deletions, and these replacements..."

The original set of individual equipment is too high-end and is really unnecessary in Africa. There are cheaper and more practical alternatives. Some components and modules are not used at all and can be deleted.

"Okay." Hogni nodded.

"Five sets of Vulcan Gatling guns." Zhang Yang continued.

This thing is not really meant for a single soldier to use. It needs power supply and is usually installed on a vehicle, so there is no need to buy too many.

"M2 heavy machine gun, come..."

"And RPG, 500 sets..."

"AK47, one thousand."

AK47 is the cheapest thing. The international price is only three hundred US dollars. The price on the black market is ridiculously cheap. It also comes with bullets, including the gun and bullets. It is even cheap enough to be used directly as a consumable.

Zhang Yang enumerated the numbers and calculated that almost all of the 300 million yuan in security funds had been used.

"That's all. Give me your lowest price, Mr. Hogni?"

On the side, Hogen waved his hand, and someone handed him paper and a calculator. He quickly listed and calculated.

"Almost at cost price, and I can also give you these extras... and lifetime after-sales service, it's definitely worth the money." Hogen gave a bunch of free consumables. "For this price, you can equip an army with ammunition. Listen, you're making a killing!"

Zhang Yang remained indifferent and continued to bargain.

"I don't see your sincerity... maybe this price is more suitable."

He gestured with his hand and quoted his own price.

"NO! This is impossible!" Hogen suddenly burst out with a hint of irritability, squinting his eyes and staring at Zhang Yang, "My champagne is for guests with sincerity... You don't seem to be ready to drink my champagne."

He tried to find a hint of uneasiness in the eyes before him.

But to his disappointment, all he saw was calmness, not even the slightest fluctuation, let alone unrest.

At the side, several bodyguards in black put their hands on their waists after hearing this.

Seeing this, Chris took a step forward and stood in front of Zhang Yang.

"Don't be nervous." Zhang Yang smiled and gently put his arm around Chris's shoulders, pulling her aside. "Mr. Hogeny, is this your way of entertaining guests?"

"You are not qualified to bargain with me." Hogen exhaled smoke and waved his hand. "Bullets or champagne, your choice."

He smoked his cigar in a semi-pressured manner, looking at Zhang Yang with a half-smile, as if he had already predicted the final outcome.

"Chris, let's go." Zhang Yang glanced at Chris.

"Give this female bodyguard a bullet." Hogeni glanced at the person next to him.

Suddenly, the bodyguard beside him pulled out his pistol.

A long sigh filled the air. A figure flashed by, and the gun in the bodyguard's hand disappeared.

"Mr. Zhang!" Chris exclaimed.

Zhang Yang played with the gun in his hand and looked around at the many bodyguards who were so shocked that they had not yet reacted.

With his quick reflexes, not to mention the time when the gun was pulled out of their bodies and aimed at him, even if his finger was already on the trigger, it all happened in slow motion in his eyes and everything was still in time.

"That's a joke, Mr. Hogni." Zhang Yang glanced at Hogni and said.

Of course Hogni wanted to do business with him.

But as a big arms dealer, he naturally tends to bully his customers. He wants to use both soft and hard tactics on him and even wants to shoot Chris to intimidate and put pressure on him?
Business has been going too smoothly these years, right? Don't you know that people can be enemies even within a short distance?

"shot!"

"Mr. Hogni!"

There was a sudden cry of surprise from all around.

Zhang Yang smiled, his leg muscles trembled slightly, and he immediately took a step forward, loaded the bullet in his gun, and pointed it at Hogni's temple.

"Hogeni, now I ask you, do you want bullets or champagne?"

"Champagne! I want champagne!" Hogen quickly stretched out his hand to stop everyone's actions, "Zhang, happy cooperation, we are happy to cooperate, shall we pay your price?"

Zhang Yang sneered.

He's just a coward!

Yes, this powerful arms dealer in Africa had also been through gunfire and experienced countless life and death situations, but he is no longer the same person he was back then.

With wealth, power and fame, he became a guest of honor for the presidents of countless small African countries.

All this had already made him lose the courage to fight.

He cherishes his life very much now.

"Where is the exit? Where is the map route out?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Go get it!" Hogen stared at the bodyguard beside him.

In a moment, the bodyguard quickly sent out a detailed map and route map.

"Chris, keep your stuff and come with me." Zhang Yang signaled to Chris with his eyes. "Get a gun."

"Okay!" Chris snatched the gun from the bodyguard beside her.

Because the boss' life was in the hands of the other party, they certainly did not dare to resist and handed over the guns obediently.

"Walk."

Zhang Yang held the gun against Hogni's temple and walked out with Chris.

Just took two steps.

The alarm is blaring!
Zhang Yang and Hogni looked at each other at the same time.

"Have you alerted your people?"

"No, absolutely not!" Hogeny's forehead was covered with sweat, and he quickly explained, "Mr. Zhang, this is an alarm of foreign invasion... How could you not know?"

"Then you misunderstood. I came here with sincerity from the beginning to the end. I wanted to make this deal with you." Zhang Yang chuckled. "What a joke. Do you think I brought this person here?"

The voice just fell.

Gunshots were heard in the distance, getting closer and closer.

Violent roar.

There was a dull and loud sound of the ground shaking.

This is by no means just a simple foreign invasion.

"Boss, air strike! And ground strike!"

Daniel broke in with a group of people.

When they saw Hogni being held hostage by Zhang Yang, they were stunned and instantly became confused.

"External attacks have nothing to do with me. Where is the safe passage? Lead the way!"

Hogen made this fortress look like a turtle shell. There must be underground passages or emergency passages, and maybe even escape tools.

Just go.

I never expected that this trip would be safe at best, but I didn't expect there would be external forces.

"Daniel, listen to him." Hogni ordered in a trembling voice.

After a while, the group arrived in front of an armored door.

After iris and palm print verification.

The armored door opened, revealing a long and narrow corridor.

"Tell your people not to go in." Zhang Yang glanced at him.

This corridor is the escape route.

Faced with life and death, he had some doubts as to whether Hogni's men could continue to obey his orders.

"Get out!" Hogen continued to order.

The group of people looked at each other, hesitated, stepped back, and retreated obediently.

This surprised Zhang Yang a little.

I didn't expect that in the face of life and death, Hogni's men could be so obedient. I don't know how he trained them.

The alloy armored door closed.

There was total silence in the corridor.

"What backup plan have you prepared for yourself?" Zhang Yang asked.

"The safe house, food, weapons and equipment, and escape tools are all in front." Hogen quickly answered the question, "Mr. Zhang, I suggest that we escape as soon as possible. The intensity of this external attack is a bit unexpected."

"Where is your eloquent speech just now?" Zhang Yang laughed. "Do you know who is attacking?"

"Yes..." Hogeni looked confused for a moment, "I have offended too many people, damn it... it must be him."

"Who?"

"The Uganda Freedom and Liberation Organization!" Hogen gritted his teeth and said, "Last week, I just sold a batch of anti-tank weapons and howitzers to their opponents."

"The Freedom Liberation Organization also bought your weapons, right?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.

Hogni was stunned and nodded awkwardly.

Hearing this, Zhang Yang smiled.

Sure enough, selling weapons to both ends will eventually backfire.

It is possible that the prerequisite for this freedom liberation organization to buy arms from them was not to sell weapons to their opponents.

Hogni broke his promise, and naturally he suffered terrible revenge.

The three of them finally reached the end of the corridor.

At the end, the lights were on, and the ground was filled with various emergency food supplies. In one corner, there were guns, ammunition, and individual missiles. It was like a small arsenal.

Zhang Yang let go of the Hogni and went to count the supplies.
