Chapter 317: Underground Black Market

This desert is almost devoid of grass. The eyes were full of gray and yellow, and the stone was also dead gray, cold and hard, even cold and hard.

The desert wind blew across the valley, like a thousand armies roaring and thousands of horses galloping. Surrounded by rocks, they resemble the fangs of a vicious beast. Heaven and earth are slaughtered, and they are desolate.

Lin Rui and Yelena walked on the road to the mine. Looking around, Lin Rui couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and said movingly: "It's really a shame that they want to use such a place to conduct illegal arms transactions." ”

"There are definitely roads near the mine, so it's easy to transport. The underground mine tunnels are criss-crossed, and people who are not familiar with the terrain cannot find the way at all. The storage of weapons and ammunition is not a problem, and most of the underground pits have light tracks, which make it easy to transport large quantities of munitions. They're very picky. Yelena whispered.

"Be careful, there's a check ahead. Lin Rui said in a low voice.

They mingled with others involved in the clandestine arms deal, where electronic invitations were validated and checked. There were all sorts of people who came and went, from military men dressed in camouflage to pot-bellied merchants. There were blacks and whites, and Arabs in robes. There are also many Asians like Lin Rui.

It can be seen that this black arms market has been operating for a long time. Security measures are in place, and all personnel must surrender their weapons before they can enter the mine. Weapons are registered and kept by a special person, and then go through two security gates. Finally, someone with a metal detector in hand examines them one by one.

Sure enough, they did not forbid women to enter, and in fact many tyrannical warlords and wealthy businessmen who had made their fortunes from the arms trade brought their female companions.

After checking through guΓ², each of them was given a mask. I think it's because many of the people involved in the transaction are reluctant to disclose their identities. So in order to cover their faces and avoid being recognized, everyone simply wore masks. Of course, it is not mandatory to wear it, and if you have no scruples, you can naturally not wear it.

Lin Rui doesn't care, there are almost no people who know him here. Still, he put on a mask with Yelena and blended into the crowd.

There was actually a large elevator installed in the mine, and after the group of them went up, they were gradually taken deeper into the mine by the elevator. After a wide walk, I came to a large underground space.

The middle of this place is exactly like a huge stage, and the seats are arranged in a stepped pattern on all sides. Lin Rui and Yelena were taken to the seats arranged for them.

Both sofas are in sophisticated velvet, wide and soft, making them very comfortable to sit on. On one side of the coffee table are delicate snacks, fruits, and of course, wine. A few black women, carrying a variety of drinks and cigars, walked between the seats, at their disposal.

Lin Rui took a cigar and sniffed it, muttering, "The real Gausbah cigar, this one will cost fifty dollars, and I only know what the local tyrant treatment is today." ”

Yelena shook her head lightly and said, "Did you see their caviar, such a plump caviar is difficult to get even in Russia itself." Who are these people who organize the black market to buy and sell?"

"Whoever they are, they must have made a huge profit from this. Lin Rui shrugged. "Chief Danmo is at best a watchman for them. And the real behind-the-scenes manipulators are all people with great backgrounds. Be careful, buyers here aren't simple people either. In addition to the big and small warlords in Africa, there seem to be Middle Eastern guests. ”

Yelena nodded, "How do we find that seller?"

And so on. Lin Rui said slowly.

"Wait" Yelena frowned, "Wait for what, wait for them to trade"

Lin Rui nodded and said, "Later, the wreckage of this drone will appear at the end, as the finale." Once someone successfully auctions it, then it means that the buyer and seller have to go through the transaction. The black market also takes a commission from their trades. However, this time the seller was very cunning, and in order to avoid traceability, they directly offered to trade in bonds. ”

"Trade with bonds," Yelena frowned.

"Yes, the bonds issued by the Federal Reserve are not much different from cash, and they are not easy to trace. But the trouble is that the person in charge of the black market has to discount his bonds according to the amount of the transaction. It will take time to raise such a large amount of cash bonds. So they will have a period of negotiations. That's where we come in. As long as we keep an eye on the buyer, we can find the seller of the drone. Lin Rui said lightly.

"But what about us now," Yelena frowned, "just wait here"

"Of course, you can also taste the caviar of your Russian homeland. Lin Rui shrugged and said, "But during the mission, it's best not to drink." ”

Yelena was stunned, "That's it"

"Then what else do you want" Lin Rui shook his head and said, "Sit and watch it well." When the final buyer shows up, keep an eye on him. ”

At this time, the lights in the underground hall came on, and a middle-aged man walked to the middle of the hall. Only then did Lin Rui see clearly that behind the person was a large LCD screen that rotated 360 degrees.

"Gentlemen, on behalf of the entire trading market, I would like to welcome you. The middle-aged man smiled calmly. "Still, I think you must be a little anxious to see what we're going to auction today, rather than listening to my boring gags here. But I can't help but want to show my wit and humor to prove that I can not only be an auctioneer, but also a good stand-up comedian. ”

His words drew a burst of laughter.

But the middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders and stretched out his hand to make a quiet gesture, turned around and pointed to the LCD screen behind him and said, "Who is the god of war and who represents the strongest firepower on the conventional battlefield The answer is only one artillery."

Behind him, an LCD screen appeared with a car, a multiple rocket launcher painted in dark green.

The middle-aged auctioneer said loudly, "The Katyusha rocket launcher became famous all over the world during World War II. The technology of stabilizing the structure of the successor hail rocket was widely disseminated. Russia's Hail rocket launchers are armed with the armies of 56 countries, and their impact is second only to the AK-47 rifle.

But soon, the world leadership of Hail was surpassed by the American 70 rocket systems. Although the range of 70 is the same as that of Hail, the automatic range dΓΉ exceeds that of "Hail". The 70 system showed its might in the 1991 Gulf War, shocking the market.

Russia is not willing to lag behind, especially where MLRS was invented. Finally, Russia has launched a new B30 salvo rocket system. Codename Tornado"

The middle-aged man's demagogic voice roared, "Guys, you read it right, this is a Tornado. The legendary reappearance of Russian-style weapons, ferocious firepower, hysterical explosiveness. The B0 Tornado, the world's most comprehensive rocket launcher, is in short supply, with only five units. Reserve price of 35 million, welcome to bid"
