After the two parties hugged each other, Rofitt Stillman looked around the luxuriously decorated living room in the military camp and smiled: "Why didn't you see your father, the distinguished Mr. **? Last time we
But the conversation was very pleasant. Regarding this meeting, I am very much looking forward to meeting your father again!"
Khalid's eyes flashed and he also smiled: "I'm very sorry, my father is commanding the Islamic fighters on the front line to fight against the evil pagan Americans, so he cannot receive Mr. David in person, and let me convey my sincere message to you.
His apology!”
"This is really a regrettable thing!" A trace of disappointment flashed in Rofit Stillman's eyes!
Hearing this, Khalid smiled faintly.,
Now his father** has become a major problem that the United States and NATO want to get rid of because of 9*11.
Especially now, the Americans have achieved partial victory in the war in Afghanistan, control major cities in various provinces of Afghanistan, and control the air superiority of the entire Afghanistan.
Under this circumstance, the whereabouts of **, the leader of Al Qaeda, has become a top secret among the Taliban. Except for a very small number of cronies, businessmen like David who have often cooperated before will naturally not be able to see ** again.
real person!
"Mr. David, we are facing the threat of evil Americans and need a large number of weapons and equipment. I wonder how many surprises you can bring us this time?"
"I can't talk about surprises, but I think what I brought this time will definitely satisfy His Excellency Khalid!" As he said, Rofitt Stillman took out a folded sheet from the pocket of his coat.
The paper was handed over to Khalid.
After the other party took it and unfolded it, Liu Dong, who was hiding aside, also discovered the contents on the paper.
I saw clearly written on it: 30,000 M16 automatic rifles, 5 million rounds of SS109 5.5645mm caliber NATO ammunition; 2,000 Ruger P-85 pistols, 100,000 rounds of 9mm caliber pistol ammunition; 300 M249 squad machine guns
, bullets are common with m16; 200 m25 sniper rifles, 50,000 rounds of 7.6251mm NATO ammunition; 100 Browning m2hb-qb heavy machine guns, 200,000 rounds of 12.7mm NATO ammunition!
250 TOW anti-tank missiles, 180 Hellfire air-to-surface missiles, 210 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, and 1,200 70mm rockets!
This list is an irresistible temptation for any warlord who is in the middle of a war! Although the weapons and equipment mentioned on the list are nearly a generation behind the current mainstream equipment in the world, they are not behind.
It does not mean useless, especially in a country like Afghanistan with rugged terrain and backward transportation, the technical advantages of weapons will be greatly weakened!
"Why are there no tanks and fighter jets?" Khalid frowned and said happily.
"Does Mr. Khalid think tanks and fighter jets are suitable for today's Afghanistan?" Rofit asked rhetorically.
This sentence made Khalid, an Afghan, feel a little unhappy, but he also understood that the other party's words did make sense. The more advanced the weapons and equipment, the more dependent they are on logistics, but now they can only hide in the mountains and
The Taliban armed forces fighting guerrillas against the Americans in the countryside simply cannot sustain the horrific logistical consumption of tanks and combat aircraft!
Not to mention anything else, just the oil problem is enough to give them a headache!
Moreover, in Afghanistan, where transportation facilities are extremely imperfect, a few more tanks are far less practical than infantry fighting vehicles that have relatively low road conditions requirements!
As for fighter jets, even if there are a few of them, they will be shot down by the Americans' more advanced fighter jets just like before the war started.
Rather than pursuing these flashy things, it would be more useful to buy a few more surface-to-air missiles or add some rocket launchers!
But as one of the leaders of the Taliban's al-Qaeda organization, how could Khalid not want his army to be armed to the teeth?
Any general hopes that he will lead a well-equipped and brave and tenacious iron army. Instead of just holding a fire stick and being chased away by others, he is running all over the mountain.
But the cruel reality forced him to accept Rofit's persuasion.
"Why is the price so much higher this time?"
Looking at the transaction amount of US$460 million at the end of the list, Khalid became dissatisfied again.
"Your Excellency Khalid, you know how bad the situation in Afghanistan is now. The powerful Americans control every big city and major transportation artery here. We have to spend more time, energy, and money to be able to cross
The American blockade puts these weapons and equipment into your hands and supports Mr. **’s bright and holy jihad! Therefore, we spend more costs, and the prices of these weapons and equipment will naturally increase! Of course, for
In our friendship, we will try our best to reduce costs, and after the success of this transaction, we will also give you five of the world's most advanced 'Patriot' surface-to-air long-range missiles, including weapon systems, for free!"
After hearing the end, Khalid's eyes immediately lit up!
The Patriot missile is an all-weather, multi-purpose surface-to-air tactical missile developed by the United States. It is used to deal with high-performance aircraft with modern equipment, and can destroy short-range missiles, intercept tactical ballistic missiles and submarine-launched cruise missiles in an electronic jamming environment. The missile is 5.31 in length.
meters, the projectile diameter is 0.41 meters, the projectile weight is 1 ton, the maximum flight speed is 6 times the speed of sound, and the maximum range is 80 kilometers. The warhead is a high-energy explosive fragmentation type.
Patriot missiles played an important role in the 1991 Gulf War.
Of course, it was also widely used in the Afghan War. As the leader of Al Qaeda, Khalid’s armed forces suffered a lot from this kind of missile!
Seeing Khalid's satisfied expression, the corners of Rofit Stillman's mouth slowly curled up!
Just throwing out a few bones with few ounces of meat, Khalid was willing to be stabbed by him! This method of "beating him with a stick and giving him a sweet date" was really a hundred times in his relationship with Khalid.
Not happy to try.
"Mr. Khalid, can we sign the contract now?" Luofit said.
"Of course. We have been looking forward to these weapons and equipment for a long time!"
The two parties who reached an agreement quickly signed an arms transaction contract! Subsequently, Khalid paid the deposit with a Swiss bank cashier's check of US$50 million!
The remaining funds can only be settled after all the weapons and equipment promised by Luofit are shipped!
“A pleasure to work with!”
“A pleasure to work with!”
"By the way, Mr. Khalid, I have another request here. I hope to get your permission?" Luofit said suddenly.
And Khalid, who had just completed the transaction and believed that he had benefited, would not offend his partners. "If Mr. David has any requests, feel free to ask for them, as long as they are within my capabilities. I promise to help you get it done!"
"Thank you Mr. Khalid for your generosity! ... What happened is this, this afternoon at the Serena Hotel, four of my men were wounded by a Turk. One of them is now seriously injured and lying in bed, so I
I hope Mr. Khalid will allow me to teach this madman a lesson!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Dong, who was standing next to him, immediately understood that the lunatic mentioned by Rofit Stillman was himself.
"This guy really holds a grudge!" Liu Dongxin said.
But then I heard Khalid say: "I can agree to Mr. David's request! But these people are all invited by us to participate in this commercial activity in Kamdesh. And the harvest from this commercial activity is our Taliban
The most important supplement to a year's financial income, so we must ensure the safety of everyone involved! So, if Mr. David wants revenge, I hope you can put your time until the end of the Kamdesh transaction.
As long as the other party does not leave Afghanistan, we Taliban can also help Mr. David settle this grudge!"
After understanding Khalid's bottom line, Rofit Stillman, although he still felt a little uncomfortable, also understood the importance of the Kamdesh drug trade to the Taliban, and even the funds for their arms deal were a lot.
It all comes from here!
"Then trouble Mr. Khalid!"
"Haha. Mr. David is so polite!"
Finally, after the two parties exchanged contracts and checks, because it was too late, after a brief conversation, Rofitt Stillman left with the check and two bodyguards, accompanied by Khalid.
Military base. Back in a two-story residence in Kamdesh city!
In Kamdesh, this kind of living environment is almost equivalent to that of a villa.
And Liu Dong, who was quietly chasing after Luofit, also found that the decoration here was indeed much better than the hotel he stayed in!
Returning to his room, after a moment of reflection, Luofit stood up and said to the two bodyguards next to him: "You go out first, I will call you if anything happens!"
"yes!"
After the other party left, Luofit closed the door and window, and then carefully checked the surroundings again before taking out a satellite phone from the lockbox on the bedside!
After he dialed a few numbers, the other party was quickly connected!
Immediately, Liu Dong, who was hiding under the building, 'saw' with his relic Yuan Guang. When the call was put through, Luofit Stillman's expression instantly became respectful.
