Chapter 318: Auction
With the demagogic tone of the black market auctioneer and the full introduction of the performance of each part of the weapon on the large screen behind him, the auction hall began to boil. This black market for underground weapons is really extraordinary. The first lot is enough to catch the eye.
As we all know, this B0 Tornado multiple rocket launcher is not exported, and it is difficult to see it on the market. And this underground black market is 5 units as soon as it is sold. This makes one have to admire their supply channels, which is one of the advantages of the underground black market. They always get their hands on something they wouldn't normally be able to get.
Yelena frowned and said, "These arms, they can't get them directly from the Russian side, they should get them from the Ukrainian military industry." This thing is in demand, and it can't be found in the regular market. ”
Some people have already begun to raise signs at the scene to increase the price, and the price of this kind of rocket artillery has soared from more than 30 million yuan to nearly 50 million.
The black market auctioneer said excitedly, "Everyone, the price is close to 50 million, who else do you want to increase the price This is a real tornado." It is the multi-barrel self-propelled rocket launcher with the longest range, the greatest power, the highest accuracy, and the most advanced performance among the artillery weapons that have been installed in various countries in the world.
So far, Rosoboronexport has exported only a few such long-range weapons systems to Algeria and Kuwait. The opportunity is rare, and the seller can also provide corresponding operation training. At most, in a month, you can quickly form combat power. ”
His agitation eventually paid off, and a Middle Eastern high-roller with an Arab turban got up and threw fifty million. Get this tornado system in your pocket. The auctioneer knocked down the hammer and said with a smile, "This first round of auctions is really enough, I can almost smell the gunpowder of the price war." But I promise it's just an appetizer, and the second lot will be on the screen. ”
The screen behind him lit up with several pictures that looked like some kind of mounted missile vehicle. The buyers whispered, not knowing what they were communicating. Lin Rui didn't have any research on large weapon systems, and he didn't see what it was. Even Yelena looked a little confused.
The auction host smiled, "You probably know that German tank technology is the best. But it should also be known that Germany was the pioneer of real missile technology. What you are seeing now is the famous Rolant missile, a surface-to-air missile system with real Germanic origin.
Although it is not the latest technology, Degong is the guarantee of quality. So far, 15 countries, including Germany, France, and the United States, have 520 sets of missiles and 20,500 missiles in the system. A real anti-aircraft missile stalwor. This time we sold two systems and 100 missiles. In terms of price, it is very favorable, with a reserve price of only 27 million. ”
As soon as he finished saying this, another group of people below whispered. Although this ground-to-air missile defense system is not very outstanding, the price is really attractive. Immediately, someone started bidding.
Lin Rui whispered, "They really have everything." Even surface-to-air missiles are sold. And it looks like the price is very low. ”
"Maybe it's because the seller behind them is also everyone. I remember that in the Iran-Iraq war, the Roland 2 was also used in Iraq. This set of anti-aircraft missiles is very marketable in the Middle East, perhaps from there. Yelena whispered.
Bids at the auction went one after another, and soon the missile system was sold for a fairly high price. This was followed by a wide range of weapons and equipment, ranging from small arms in large quantities to large weapons and baggage, with a wide range of models.
After a period of time, the auctioneer announces a ten-minute break and then continues.
Yelena frowned, "Should we keep an eye on that auctioneer, maybe he will know about those sellers." We took this opportunity to pull some information out of his mouth. ”
Lin Rui shook his head, "He's just an ordinary commentator, he may know a lot about the weapons to be auctioned, but he may not know much about the seller." In this type of auction, confidentiality must be the first priority. It's impossible for an auctioneer to know the inside story, and if we act rashly, it will only do bad things, so let's wait and see. ”
Yelena nodded, waiting until the auction came to an end in ten minutes.
The black market auctioneer took a sip of water and said, "I think you are all looking forward to the last star of our lot." The wreckage of a mysterious drone, which belongs entirely to the next generation of drone technology. Gentlemen, what we have seen before is only the past and the present, and the technology of this drone represents the future, and even the direction of drone development in the next ten years. ”
What appeared on the screen behind him was not a physical object, but a set of drone models. But this has aroused everyone's curiosity even more.
The black market auctioneer said slowly, "This is the future direction of warfare, satellite positioning, remote-controlled flight, more advanced fire-controlled missile technology and more precise and effective strikes." Although it is only a wreckage, the technology contained in it is unparalleled. In particular, this is a prototype for testing. It contains all sorts of technical information and counts, which are valuable enough even for a country. ”
"But no matter how advanced this drone is, it is just an experiment. How can we be sure that the technology of this drone is really practical if it has not been tested on the battlefield?" someone in the crowd asked.
"You may not understand what this means, and how profitable it will be if this technology is successfully copied. What a huge market of interest it would be. Even if these technologies are re-sold, many countries that need them will rush to them. Remember, technology is power. The black market host said slowly. "The wreckage of the Zero drone, as well as the core components and the number of tests in the black box. Reserve price of 60 million"
There was an exclamation among the "60 million" crowd.
"The wreckage alone will sell for 60 million," someone questioned.
The black market auctioneer smiled slightly, "Technology monopoly is wealth monopoly, I think you should be very clear about this concept. To be sure, this price is not only not high, but it is very affordable. I think you should be well aware of this with your foresight. So bids are welcome. ”
Surprisingly, the wreckage of the drone did not cause much enthusiastic response from buyers. Even the bidding scene was a little cold. First, these buyers are more willing to invest in mature weapons technology, but they are not interested in this new technology with an uncertain future. Second, after all, this is a wreckage, and buyers don't know how much useful technology and number can be extracted from it. Therefore, the bidding of the auction is not high
