After listening to Anton's words, everyone was not very good in their hearts, so they all looked at Qiao Haipeng next to him, only he was born in the navy and was familiar with warships, and everyone wanted to hear what his opinion was.

Qiao Haipeng looked at the broken ship, turned to Anton and said, "This ship has been close to 40 years, there is nothing wrong with the hull of your ship, you have to ...... It's a vain question to ask you, so I'll go in and have a look. ”

After Qiao Haipeng finished speaking, under the leadership of a few hairs, he got into the rusty hull, stayed in it for a long time before crawling out, making himself dirty, he walked in front of Li Ming and Song Tao, and patted the rust stains and dust on his body.

Then he turned to the two and said: "Lao Maozi's things, don't look at the boss's rudeness, but they are really willing to use materials, this ship at least I see that there is no problem on the surface, the steel port is really good, one in the Pacific Fleet, exactly the same as this ship, now it's okay to go to the Sea of Japan for a walk, the run is not the same joyful, I think there is no problem, if you are really not at ease, then find some professional personnel, come over to test it."

And they also said that there is another such ship, which is being dried somewhere else, and it is also half dismantled, if you can, you can buy it all, as long as you feed these few hairs, it really doesn't cost much. ”

Li Ming said with a smile: "I don't think there's any problem, Lao Maozi's things are famous for their durability and resistance, although the things are made of dead and heavy, but people are really not foolish, I think it's better to report to the company first, and find some professional personnel to come and take a look." ”

Everyone nodded and agreed with Li Ming's construction, so everyone took a boat with Anton back to the Golden Horn in Vladivostok, and as soon as Li Ming and the others returned to the branch, they reported to Gao Jianguo and Wang and them about seeing the ship in Grand Carmen.

Gao Jianguo, Wang He and other remaining managing directors gathered the relevant technical personnel and the people of the navy together for a meeting, but who knew that as soon as this meeting started, everyone couldn't sit still, and they were very excited, and a group of people from the navy group were crazy and wanted to fly to Vladivostok overnight.

This frightened Gao Jianguo and the others, and it was easy for everyone to persuade a group of crazy navy people.

Several executive directors of the company held a meeting overnight and decided to send Gao Jianguo as the team leader, together with the professional and technical personnel of the army and navy, as well as professional and technical experts in shipping, to Vladivostok to form a military procurement working group with Li Mingqiao Haipeng and others to jointly complete the military procurement task.

The next day, Gao Jianguo and his entourage of more than 20 people boarded a plane to Vladivostok, and Li Ming went to the airport to pick them up at the branch office. The branch is being renovated, and the conditions are relatively difficult, so we can only clean up a room in the warehouse and hold the first meeting of the branch since its establishment.

On behalf of the company, Gao Jianguo praised and encouraged everyone's achievements in Vladivostok during this period, and the company's board of directors also gave instructions for the next step: the establishment of an arms procurement working group.

The team leader is Gao Jianguo, and the deputy team leaders are Li Ming, Song Tao, and Qiao Haipeng. Strive to use the fastest speed, spend the least amount of money, formulate the most perfect plan, and finally successfully complete the military procurement plan that is of great significance to the company.

In addition, Li Ming has also been thinking about a problem in the past few days, the ship repair plant of the Russian Pacific Fleet in Vladivostok is located in Grand Kamen, and a large number of scrapped ships are piled up, which are all good steel. Li Ming had an idea, why not transport these scrap steel to another time and space, where there is no iron ore in Russia's Primorsky Autonomous Prefecture.

And these scrap steel can completely become the steel resources of the first company in the initial period, here Li Ming has seen the boldness and greed of various departments of the Russian Pacific Fleet, and there is nothing they dare not sell.

So Li Ming put forward his own opinions at this meeting, and the mention was immediately unanimously agreed by everyone, and it happened that the company's military warehouse in the Golden Horn in Vladivostok had a special railway line directly to here, which solved the problem of transporting scrap steel.

Although Li Ming's proposal is very good, their top priority at the moment is to do a good job in the current issue of arms procurement. On the day the arms procurement working group was established, all departments threw themselves into intense work.

The personnel of the War Department and the Navy Department, with the help of the Ministry of Information and the Ministry of Technology, consulted a large amount of materials, which were prepared by the Ministry of Information and the Ministry of Technology before they came.

With the joint efforts of everyone, the arms procurement working group has done a lot of work in a limited time, and has done systematic and detailed research on the equipment of the company's employees with light weapons, the selection of coastal defense and fortress artillery, the reserve of ammunition, the selection of weapons for the two Crocodile-class landing ships, and the weapons equipment of the fishing boats, whaling ships and other ships that the company is preparing to purchase in the future, and has made several plans.

The next day, Anton led Li Ming and his entourage of more than a dozen people to visit the military material warehouse near Vladivostok and met with the person in charge of a Russian military warehouse.

This warehouse is also a product of the Cold War period of the Soviet Union, and most of the light weapons stored here are mainly AK-47s, PK machine guns, RPG rocket launchers, SVD sparring rifles, Deshka 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and HCBC 12.7mm heavy machine guns, but there is no ammunition here.

Almost all of them are light weapons that have now been retired from active service in the Russian army, but it is a good thing, most of the weapons are new, and the number is huge. Although the maintenance work is not done well, and many weapons are not even maintained at all, the weapons of the Soviet army are known for their durability, and there should be no problem with normal use for more than ten years.

The weapons here were almost sold out in the nineties, but they were not sold cleanly, and the current inventory is still about one-third of what it was then, and it was because of the tense relations between China and the Soviet Union at that time that the Soviet army established these military combat readiness warehouses here.

The person in charge of the warehouse is named Andrei, he heard that Li Ming took these weapons to Africa, and immediately talked with Li Ming about the sale, now the world is relatively peaceful, only the United States is playing a game of cat and mouse with the al-Qaeda led by Ben ** in Afghanistan. Moreover, in the nineties, when the Soviet Union had just collapsed, too many light weapons flowed out of the Soviet Union and the CIS countries, so now the world light weapons market is relatively depressed.

The proceeds from the arms transaction here, many high-ranking officials in the Russian army have to be exposed to the rain, including Anton's father, Andrei's role is just a shopkeeper who stands at the front desk and is responsible for the transaction, and most of the funds obtained from the arms trade will be shared, and there is not much left in Andrei's hands.

Now many such war-ready warehouses in Russia are doing such business, which is already an open secret within the Russian army.

In any case, the weapons here have been retired from active service for many years, and there are high costs to pay every year to maintain these obsolete weapons. Although it is said to be a war preparation warehouse, how can there be hundreds of thousands of millions of wars in the future, and these weapons are also the fate of slowly rusting and then returning to the furnace. Therefore, the top brass of the Russian army turned a blind eye and held the filial piety of all places with peace of mind.

When Li Ming passed by Andre's side, he quietly gave Andre a check for $500,000. This action is very secretive, even Anton didn't find out, Andre is also cunning and silent, before the negotiation, Li Ming and Gao Jianguo also deliberately had a secret conversation with Andre in a quiet corner.

The reason why they carried Anton on their backs was mainly because of the various arms they needed this time, and there were quite a few of them. They are also afraid that Anton will be suspicious, Anton is very important to them now, and there must be no mistake.

Li Ming arranged for the business elites of the two companies to sit down with Andre and start pretending to negotiate. After arranging this qiē, Anton led Li Ming, Gao Jianguo and others to the next warehouse.

Another former Soviet army's combat readiness warehouse is stored in all kinds of light artillery, including mortars, anti-aircraft artillery and anti-tank artillery, as well as some anti-tank missiles, light anti-aircraft missiles and other materials.

Li Ming still privately bribed the person in charge of the warehouse according to the previous route, and then made an appointment with him to negotiate and left. The next place to go is a logistics general equipment warehouse, where countless Soviet army equipment since the Cold War period of various military uniforms, combat equipment, service equipment and other logistics materials are stored.

Anton was not going to bring Li Ming here, he felt that Li Ming and they would not buy these things at all, but when Li Ming heard about it, they repeatedly asked to go over and have a look.

Li Ming and Gao Jianguo are still very concerned about the logistics materials, things here have been backlogged for many years, even in the chaotic era when the Soviet Union had just collapsed, it was still cold and few people patronized, but the combat equipment can still be sold, but compared to the amount stored here, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

These things are urgently needed by the company, the harsh climate environment of the Far East, especially in the severe winter season, the temperature is below minus twenty or thirty degrees, especially in the late Ming Xiaoice period, the Far East is even colder.

Maozi's winter military uniforms and coats are all real pure wool products, as well as cotton hats, gloves, blankets, and sleeping bags are all needed by the company, and a large number of immigrants to this cold Far East at the end of the Ming Dynasty need a lot of winter clothing.

Although these Soviet army's logistics munitions are rough and the style is ugly, the quality is absolutely excellent, adhering to the characteristics of Maozi's durability and resistance, and the materials are not fooled at all, they are all made of pure wool, pure cotton, and pure leather, which is definitely a good thing.
