Ali walked into the largest building in the village. It was a yurt-like building with a dome. This building was the only stone building in the tribe.
This is a place for prayer. It is also a place for tribal discussions.
At the far end, there were three old men sitting in white robes, all of them were skinny and with goatee beards.
Among them, the one on the far left is Elder Sheikh, who applied for joining the tribe. The one in the middle is the great elder Yipu Rahim. The one on the right is Elder Yinman.
The great elder looked at Ali kindly.
This young man is tall and strong, and has good shots. Although he came to join him after hearing that the tribe would have three wells, this is human nature. He still had a good impression of Ali.
"Ali, you said you can buy weapons, is that true?"
Ali put his hand on his chest, saluted respectfully, and said: "Dear elder, Ali is an honest man. I have been a mercenary and participated in wars, so I also know where to buy weapons."
The elder nodded. This young man looked strong and strong. He was definitely not a shepherd. He did look like he had been a soldier.
"Ali, we don't have much money in our tribe. We only have camels, cattle and sheep. As you know, these things have no market now and are worthless. We only have 50,000 US dollars in hand. How many weapons can we buy with this money."
Ali said: "I know the situation of the tribe. I am willing to advance the money to buy weapons, and the tribe will pay me camels. This is the first business I have done in the tribe. I hope it can be helpful to the tribe."
As soon as Ali finished speaking, everyone in the room suddenly became excited.
Ali was actually willing to use his own money to purchase weapons, and then the tribe used camels in exchange for him. Ali was really a good person.
One-third of the world's camels are in this country. Camels here are not sold at high prices.
This is not like ancient times, when merchants needed camel teams to transport supplies. Moreover, in this war-torn country, foreign trade has been completely interrupted, and there is no way to sell livestock. The beef and mutton here are also very cheap.
The three elders were moved and said: "Ali, my son, your kindness will be well rewarded. We will definitely give you the best price for camels. There are 150,000 camels in the tribe, and we can sell up to 50,000.
The first three to six years old camels. How about four hundred dollars each."
"We can give you some camels first and you can sell them and then transport the weapons back." In fact, they can't sell the camels here at all. There are many in that tribe whoever you want to sell them to.
The price is indeed cheap. To buy a strong and young camel in Inner Mongolia costs at least 1 yuan, which is 2,100 US dollars.
A pair of strong young camels here can be sold for US$1,000. However, it is very difficult to sell them. There is no market for them.
For mass shipments, the price of US$400 per head is appropriate and considered cheap.
"Okay, my elder, let's make the deal at this price." Ali said, "I will go to those oriental areas. They have ports there, and I will contact the sellers of weapons."
"Let old Kuba bring ten armed guards to protect you. Trading arms is a very dangerous business," the elder said.
"Everything will follow your arrangements." Ali said.
Three days later, Ali came back with his people. A truck brought them back.
The good children gathered around the truck to watch the fun. They ran around the truck.
Ali led his men and unloaded many weapons from the car.
There are ak74 rifles, svd sniper rifles, pkm squad machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, apg18 rocket launchers, 60mm mortars and 120mm mortars.
The elders also came after hearing the news.
The great elder's beard was trembling with excitement. He came up and hugged her, speaking incoherently with excitement.
He said tremblingly: "My child, our tribe has been saved. I want to marry all three of my granddaughters to you."
Ali smiled sheepishly and did not answer the question. He said: "Elders and leaders, these are samples sent by my friends for everyone to try. If you are satisfied, you can purchase them as needed."
"Then what are you waiting for? We'll go test-firing right away," said the bearded leader Sara.
In addition to the three elders, there are seven leaders in the tribe. These people are the leaders of some large families. The families of the three elders all have more than 200 people. The leader's family has more than 100 people.
They account for half of the population of this tribe, so the Council of Elders formed by them is authoritative.
All tribes in this country are organized layer by layer according to blood lines.
This tribe of 3,000 people is no exception. According to family and surname, it is divided into more than 100 family groups. Each head is a small leader. Among them, there are ten families with a family population of more than 100 people.
Although according to tribal tradition, the Elders Council is elected, people from their own family will definitely choose their own family members. So, these seven leaders and three elders formed the Council of Elders to decide all important matters.
Ali distributed the rifles to the leaders of these families, went to the foot of a hill, and began to test-fire.
Although the tribes in the desert don't have many weapons, most of the men can use guns. They also usually use some native guns for hunting. The AK rifle is very simple, and you can use it after a few lessons.
There is nothing difficult about the rocket launcher. The RPG18 rocket launcher is a 64mm caliber rocket launcher developed and produced by the Soviet Union. It fires pg-18v heat rockets. It is a tube with rockets in it, and the tube can be thrown away directly after launch.
This is obsolete equipment. It was equipped by the Soviet Red Army in 1972 and participated in the Afghan War. It was replaced in 9-22 of the last century. Maozi has a lot of it and the arsenal is full of pits. The price is absolutely cheap.
This kind of rocket launcher does not occupy the establishment and can be issued to anyone as needed. There is no need to set up a special rocket launcher hand. It is simple to operate, flexible in distribution, and can be thrown away after shooting.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After discussion with the elders and leaders, they all like the ak74 and think it is cheap and easy to use. They are not very interested in other weapons. Mainly because it is too expensive.
Already.
Ali felt in his heart that these people's vision and structure were too small. Relying only on rifles without heavy weapons, even if they repelled the attack of the small warlord, they would suffer great losses.
"Elders, leaders, I think we should buy some heavy weapons. This way we have a better chance of winning." Ali tried to persuade them.
At this time, it was obvious that the tribe was not united. The seven major families all provided their own camels and bought their own guns. The three elders had about 200 people in their own families, and they also bought their own.
"My son, these weapons are enough. We have many people, and we can arm five hundred of them. It is impossible for all that warlords to attack us. It would be good to have more than a hundred people. We are enough to resist." The great elder said.
said.
Ali could see clearly that the elders and leaders of these tribes were all short-sighted people. They panicked when the crisis came, but when the crisis was relieved, they immediately revealed their greedy nature.
At this time, they are reluctant to spend more money.
But Ali didn't care. The instruction Yang Fan gave him was to buy camels. Just buy their camels yourself. If the price is not suitable, other tribes have plenty.
"Dear elder, I need to recruit some people to protect my property. I hope you can agree."
"No problem, you can hire your own people, or even hire people from other tribes. After all, your store must also ensure safety." The elder said happily.
Ali knew that when things were done, he could form an armed force of his own. He would buy heavy weapons. Without heavy weapons, he didn't think he could defeat that little warlord.
