From March 1992, Ilham gradually established a stable smuggling channel with Marcos. Both parties did not engage in tanks or artillery, focusing on airborne electronic equipment.
For example, the AN/AWG15 fire control system, the AN/ASW27B data transmission system, or simply the AN/AWG-9 radar. More than 70% of the Persian 'Tomcats' have avionics failures, causing them to fly but not be used.
Radar is such an embarrassing thing.
Sophia once sneaked into HESA, and all the maintenance records of the Persian Tomcat were in Zhou Qingfeng's hands. He knew very well what accessories the other party needed, and the 'goods' he brought out were too much for the other party to refuse.
Electronic equipment is small in size, light in weight, high in value, and easy to verify.
After several back-and-forth transactions, Ilham offered to increase the transaction volume—because with just a few transactions, HESA was able to repair two Tomcats with avionics failures.
This is as effective as a 'shot in the arm' in boosting the morale of the army.
At the Boryspil Airport in the eastern suburbs of Kiev, Ilham drove to be inspected by the guards on duty, and also paid attention to the layout of this military airport.
The idle airport was rented and revitalized by 'Holy Light' and became the hub of the group's air transportation. The 'goods' collected by the Ermao family were transported here one after another, loaded on planes and shipped back to the country.
The transport planes that come and go also carry high-value commodities.
The public intellectuals in the city pretended to set up a temporary customs at the airport to handle import and export taxes.
However, the actual tax amount is less than one-tenth of the theoretical tax amount, and tens of thousands of dollars in tax can be exempted by simply paying the tax officer a hundred dollars.
also......
Zhou Qingfeng, with an open attitude, allowed other forces to use the airport for air transportation for a fee. The loopholes in this transportation line became bigger and bigger, turning the airport into a semi-open black market.
Because of the orderly management and fair prices, the underground business at Boryspil Airport has become extremely prosperous. There are all kinds of religions, snakes and rats mixed together, and everyone can make money here.
The airport has even opened financial institutions to facilitate currency exchange and international transfers. It also provides purchasing and sales agents to provide high-quality services to customers and businessmen who cannot be present in person.
It's just that the fees are a bit expensive.
At the entrance to the airport, soldiers wearing Soviet-style military uniforms looked fierce, and armored vehicles equipped with large-caliber KPV heavy machine guns were on patrol. There were also military dogs and searchlights for defense at night, making it look like a military base.
The black market is divided into safety. This is especially important for small businessmen.
Marcos runs this place, and relying on the 'Holy Light' can bring enough benefits to many people. He can eat both black and white, so no one can come here to cause trouble, and he quickly becomes a big boss.
Anyone can enter the airport black market after being searched, but those without identity verification cannot conduct transactions and can only act as tourists.
If you want trading rights, you must obtain the approval of Mr. Marcos, and only powerful customers can set up stalls. Ilham has been here several times. He handed his black market documents to the guards for inspection. At the same time, he had to
The car undergoes inspection.
"Are the checks here so strict?" Another old man came with Ilham and was extremely dissatisfied with the guards' rude search.
Ilham could only smile at this and whispered: "This is also for everyone's safety. After all, the business here does not want the outside world to know. But now there are so many Western reporters in Kiev, and they are very brave."
The airport is very large and provides electric vehicles for incoming customers. Ilham took the old man to the direction of the hangar and acted as a tour guide to explain the place.
"There were originally only five hangars here, but recently there were two more. There is a black market inside.
We can buy anything we want here, from guns and ammunition, to artillery missiles, to radar engines. As long as you can afford it, Mr. Marcos even provides freight services.
There are accommodation, meals, communications, and even women to choose from over there in the terminal. There is also a bank inside that provides services such as mortgage loan laundering, and you can open accounts in various European banks.
Although the handling fee is high, it is convenient, fast and safe, and many people need it.”
The battery car is close to the first hangar. There are two D-30 howitzers at the door, and shells with the fuses removed are placed next to them. The inside of the hangar is divided to facilitate customers to visit.
There is a Sam-6 missile launcher at the door of the second hangar, which is still the main air defense weapon of many Asian, African and Latin American countries. The hangar also mainly sells Soviet missiles.
The third seat is for armored vehicles, and the fourth seat is for aircraft and electronic products. There are more behind.
Each hangar contains different types of commodities. There is also a small exchange here, dozens of computers, and hundreds of telephones, which can contact every corner of the world.
The old man on the battery car felt that his eyes were opened. He saw a bunch of internationally banned goods being sold openly here. It was simply an international black market defense exhibition, with all kinds of mess.
For example, in the hangar where electronic equipment is displayed, a Tomcat radar is openly displayed as an exhibit. Although this thing is a technology from the 1960s, it is still very powerful.
"Is this thing also for sale to the public?" The old man walked around in front of the booth for a long time, not sure if this radar was genuine? If it was genuine, it would be worth millions of dollars.
"This should be a model, but there are real products in the black market." Ilham followed the old man. "In addition to arms, there are also people's livelihood products for sale here. Even oil and coal are included in the trade."
"Can oil be bought and sold here?" The old man was really surprised.
Persia made a lot of money from oil before the 1970s. The upper class lived a colorful life, but the people at the bottom were starving to death on the streets. It was similar to the Republic of China of flower growers, so the Pahlavi dynasty was overthrown.
However, after the overthrow of Pahlavi, Persia was subject to sanctions and blockade, and was in great difficulty in international trade. This blockade was not just talk, but warships were actually sent to intercept and inspect shipping cargo ships.
In addition, the financial blockade is even more uncomfortable. Persia cannot borrow the international monetary settlement system developed by the West. Without a settlement system, commerce and trade would be difficult to carry out.
Domestic 'ZTE' was caught by Yingjiang, and was implicated in transactions with Persia and was sanctioned. In order to do business with Persia, in China, a Kunlun Bank was even opened in 10 years to bypass Yingjiang's settlement system.
.
Therefore, the oil in Persia is useless even if it cannot be sold. The power of Eagle Sauce in the 1990s is not just talk, it can really block the lifeblood of a country and restrict its development.
The country is desperately trying to join the WTO, and it is also to integrate into the world trading system, otherwise life will be really difficult. In those years, there was no way to endure the anger.
But it's strange that oil can still be bought and sold on the black market on the outskirts of Kiev. The old man hurriedly asked: "How is the oil traded here? How to ensure that the international blockade is broken?"
"Behind this black market is a company called 'Holy Light'. But how it does it, outsiders don't know."
"Is this company not afraid of being sanctioned by Europe and the United States?"
"Uh..., 'Holy Light' has been sanctioned for engaging in contraband trade. However, this group is either bartering or smuggling, and they don't seem to care at all."
