Du Fei saw Barber's embarrassment. For this kind of "high-quality customer" who was likely to have long-term cooperation, although he could not pay on credit, in other aspects, Du Fei had to try his best to provide the other party with perfect services.
He chuckled and said, "Have a good haircut. In fact, fighting is just like how we live at home. There are ways to live with more money, and there are ways to live with less money."
The hairdresser was slightly surprised. He didn't know what Du Fei meant, so he quickly said: "Mr. Qing Du, give me some advice."
Du Fei said calmly: "You are about to go to war with the Youtai people. Is this correct?"
Haircut was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to deny it, but then he changed his mind and felt it was unnecessary, so he simply listened to what Du Fei said.
Du Fei asked him: "What do you think is the key to victory or defeat in this battle?"
Barber frowned, somewhat confused as to what Du Fei meant.
He is not a straw bag who relied on nepotism to rise to power. Although he is Hafiz's younger brother, there are many brothers in their family. Why didn't other brothers come forward, and he was the only one who was entrusted with important tasks by his brother?
At least it shows that the barber himself has quite good ability and vision.
Du Fei suddenly asked him this question, and it wasn't that he couldn't answer it, but at this time, Du Fei definitely wasn't testing him by asking this question, and it didn't make any sense to give some conventional answers.
The hairdresser simply lowered his body and waited for Du Fei's next words.
Du Fei paused and said: "In fact, there is only one essence of any war, which is to find the enemy's weaknesses and then attack his weaknesses. From our ancient "The Art of War" to the modern "On War" maintained by Clauser, the discussion
It’s all about this.”
Theoretically speaking, hairdresser's head is not a profound argument. The problem has been there throughout the ages, and those with some theoretical foundations understand it.
What is really difficult is 'how' to find the enemy's weaknesses. After discovering the enemy's weaknesses, how to deploy the troops so that you can win with one blow. Whether the commander is handsome and able to lead the troops is reflected in this.
However, Du Fei wanted to say at this time that it was indeed none of these, and it was not that complicated or profound.
These are all formal, and can be said to be things at the tactical level, but the advantages and shortcomings of a fruit family at the strategic level are obvious.
There is no need to search hard, because this kind of shortcoming is not covered at all.
Du Fei looked at Barber and asked, "What is the fatal flaw of the Youtai people?"
The barber frowned and said: "You mean... the strategic depth is small?"
Du Fei said "hmm", then shook his head and sneered: "That doesn't matter, and you are putting it lightly. It's not that they have little strategic depth, but that they have no strategic depth at all."
Haircut was stunned for a moment, then realized that there was nothing wrong with what Du Fei said.
How could someone like Du Fei, who was born in a huge country, understand the business situation of a small country like theirs? Moreover, compared to Huaguo, Youtai indeed had no depth.
Du Fei continued: "You say this is considered, but it is not the most fundamental thing."
This time Du Fei didn't lie any more. The fatal flaw of the Youtai people was that they had few people.
He continued: "There was a very classic summary in "On Protracted War" back then: if people lose land, they will survive, and everyone and land will be lost; if people survive and land will be lost, everyone will gain. This sentence is equally accurate when applied to you."
The hairdresser frowned. The translation of these sixteen words in English was a bit confusing.
Du Fei explained: "If I were you, I wouldn't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place. Although you are not big, you still have some depth compared to Youtai. You must focus all your efforts on consuming their
In terms of physical strength, as long as there is a war, tens of thousands of them will die, and they will definitely not be able to hold on."
I couldn't help but be shocked when I got a haircut.
Tens of thousands of people! Are you kidding me? In the last war in the Middle East, more than 900 people died in total.
But Du Fei was not idle in wasting so many words with him.
After finishing speaking, he immediately took a beautifully printed album from the side.
This picture book is a product brochure printed under the supervision of Du Fei himself.
On the cover is an H-8 aircraft with its wings spread and taking off, with a Dongfeng-2 missile more than 20 meters long hanging under the aircraft.
Du Fei quickly opened the album and came to page fourteen.
This is a picture of four soldiers operating a large mortar.
Compared with normal mortars, this mortar is significantly larger, and the barrel is not only thicker but also very long.
What's even more unusual is that the cannonballs fired inside are larger, and they cannot be put into the cannon barrel. Instead, the long rod at the back is put into the cannon barrel, leaving a very large cannon head that looks like a gas tank...
Du Fei put the picture album in front of Barber and said with a smile: "Our newly developed super mortar has a huge warhead filled with 20 kilograms of high explosives and contains a large number of anti-personnel steel balls. It uses a newly designed mortar.
The artillery launch takes only five minutes at the fastest from preparation to aiming and firing. The range is more than 1,500 meters, the explosion power is more than 100 meters, the effective damage is 50 meters, and the absolute death radius is more than 15 meters..."
Barber's eyes widened, he looked at the pictures and listened to the data introduced by Du Fei. His mind was a little confused, and he subconsciously said: "Absolute death radius?"
Du Fei explained: "It means absolute death. This super mortar evolved from our past 'heartless cannons'. Because of its huge charge, as long as it is within a radius of fifteen meters, even if it is hiding behind a bunker, it can
Even if the steel pillar or fragments are blocked, the powerful shock wave generated by the explosion is enough to cause fatal injuries. In other words, no one within twenty meters will be spared."
The hairdresser's breathing was suppressed, and his Adam's apple rolled subconsciously.
Du Fei wanted this effect, so he slowed down for a few seconds and said with a smile: "Go and take a few shots and see?"
The hairdresser came back to his senses and immediately couldn't wait.
If Du Fei was really as awesome as he said just now, he would have bought the underwear even if he pawned it off.
The two immediately took a car to the 8270 Factory.
Although Du Fei's main focus during this period has been on the aircraft manufacturing plant, the development of the 8270 factory is not slow at all.
Especially after stabilizing the relationship with Vincent, Vincent and the family behind him completely let themselves go and exported equipment to Africa crazily. Factory 8270's conventional weapons exports surged.
There is a thriving scene in the factory. This year, the number of workers in the factory has returned to 10,000, exceeding the scale before the main factory was moved to the southwest.
Du Fei and Barber came to Factory 8270 and went directly to the shooting range without going to the office building.
After a while, someone drove a battery truck to transport artillery barrels and shells similar to gas cans.
Du Fei saw it and explained from the side: "If you use it, you can directly use a donkey cart or a horse-drawn carriage to pull it. In an emergency, you can also manually maneuver it. Just disassemble the barrel and four people can move it away..."
The barber nodded repeatedly. Seeing the real thing was far more shocking than the picture, especially the 'gas tank' shell, which was really too big.
He couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster. He immediately followed Du Fei to the front, stretched out his hand to touch the cold barrel, and then looked at the 'gas tank' shell, but did not dare to reach out and touch it.
There are a full 20 kilograms of explosives stuffed in there, but you can touch them casually.
But Du Fei didn't care. He went up and patted it twice, making two "dong dong" sounds, and said with a smile: "It's okay. I haven't installed the fuse yet. I can't even hit it with a sledgehammer."
The barber smiled, but still didn't step forward.
Du Fei waved his hand and motioned for several weapons testers to go to the gun position and fire two rounds.
He followed the barber to the observation bunker built fifty meters behind.
Several weapons testers used to be the elite of the army, and now they are even more familiar with it. The team leader responded and immediately led the people to move. In less than five minutes, they fixed the barrel and bracket and dug it into the ground with an engineer shovel.
The three pits were ready for launch, and then the two of them worked together to pick up a shell and insert the slender pole behind the 'gas tank' shell into the muzzle of the mortar.
After everything was done, the test team leader yelled: "Everyone is on your place, ready~let's go!"
After the words faded, everyone covered their ears, and the team leader aimed at a pedal at the rear of the mortar and kicked hard.
Suddenly there was a muffled "bang" sound.
The thick barrel vibrated violently, and then a ball of flame spurted out from the muzzle, followed by a powerful recoil that launched the 'gas tank' shell.
Just like an ordinary mortar, the speed of the shell is not very fast. In addition, the shell itself is very large, and the parabola in the air is particularly clear, and it even feels a bit like throwing a grenade.
Barber followed the 'gas tank' shell in the air and watched the big thing fly into the distance, which was definitely more than one kilometer by visual inspection.
It seems that Du Fei was not bragging when he said the range was over 1,500 meters.
Based on Fatt's experience, as long as the pitch angle of the gun barrel is slightly adjusted, the range can be further extended.
Depending on the height at which the shell is thrown, if the accuracy of the landing point is not pursued, extending the range to more than two kilometers is not a problem.
Just when these thoughts flashed through Barber's mind, the 'gas tank' shell crashed to the ground.
Suddenly there was a loud noise.
With the roar, Barber's eyes widened even more. When Du Fei asked him to wear earmuffs to protect his ears in the bunker, he felt that it was a big deal. After all, he was in the outside world and not indoors.
At this time, I knew that this was indeed not unnecessary. If I hadn't been wearing this thing, my ears would have been "buzzing" and I wouldn't have been able to hear any sound for a long time.
In the center of the distant shell explosion, a cloud of gray dust rose up, followed by a blazing fireball pouring out from it, spreading to the surroundings with the explosion.
In the blink of an eye, the circular shock wave reached the bunker where Dufy and Barber were.
Because the distance was relatively far, the impact here had turned into a slightly powerful hot wind, but it still made the hairdresser feel like his breathing was stagnant.
He licked his lips, turned to look at Du Fei, then looked at the impact point in the distance and spoke his hometown dialect.
Du Fei didn't understand either, but he could probably guess that he wanted to go ahead and have a look.
Of course this is no problem.
Following the test team's signal, stop firing.
At this time, the hairdresser also regained his composure and negotiated with Du Fei again. As expected, his guess was correct.
Soon the two of them were riding their bicycles one kilometer away.
There are small roads on the test site. Battery cars cannot enter, but you can ride bicycles.
When we came to the place where the "gas tank" shell hit, we saw a large crater that had just been exploded and was still filled with hot air.
Around the big pit, in order to show the power of the cannonballs, there were originally many dummies made of white wooden boards.
These dummies are placed in circles around the target according to different distances, and a distance scale made of white gray temporary drawings can also be seen on the ground.
At this time, all the wooden dummies within a radius of more than 20 meters around the pit were blown to pieces. If they were replaced by real people, there would be no chance of survival.
Just now Du Fei said that within fifteen meters is the death radius, but he was being modest.
With this shot, everyone within a radius of twenty meters will be killed.
Farther away, the dummy was also blown up and down. If it were a real person, it would be seriously injured even if it didn't die.
There are two cages further away, with two gray rabbits in them.
At this time, both rabbits were motionless, and a pool of blood flowed from their mouths. It was obviously internal injuries, and they were both shocked to death.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Haircut was so excited that he couldn't speak. He quickly turned around and looked at Du Fei, with stars shining in his eyes.
This super mortar is definitely a weapon for killing people, he must get it.
Although it seems very cruel, for them, cruelty to the Youtai people is the salvation of their own compatriots.
Their hatred has been engraved in their bones.
Barber tried his best to control his emotions, swallowed his saliva and asked, "How much does this gun cost?"
Du Fei said: "Cannons are free of charge. If you buy cannon shells, you will get a cannon. A cannon shell costs 20,000 US dollars per round. If you buy fifty cannon shells, you will get a cannon. How about it~"
Haircut instinctively said it was expensive. He turned to look at the explosion effects next to him, but he knew he had little room for bargaining.
Obviously Du Fei has grasped their core needs, but it still needs to be said.
Barber said: "Fifteen thousand, I want five hundred, not one thousand."
Du Fei shook his head as expected: "Friend, twenty thousand dollars is already our friendship price. If the Youtai people send the same shells, each shot will cost fifty thousand dollars."
The hairdresser was speechless for a moment and changed his words: "Mr. Du, we are not joking. Twenty thousand is twenty thousand. I want one thousand rounds, but you must promise not to sell these shells to the Youtai people."
"Of course, we are friends." Du Fei smiled and extended his hand: "Happy cooperation."
The hairdresser breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand and held it with Du Fei.
It costs 20,000 US dollars per round, and 1,000 rounds of artillery shells is 20 million US dollars, but I think it is very worth it.
As for Du Fei, he was also very happy.
Originally, when he developed this upgraded version of the 'gas tank' cannon, he had no intention of targeting anyone, it was simply to expand the product line.
But this time it was the people from Youtai who came to disgust him first, first from Shangfei Factory, and then from Mr. Wu. It was like a toad was afraid of his feet, so he didn't want others to be hostile to him.
Since they wanted to be toads, Du Fei simply gave them a long memory.
In the end, with 10 million left, Barbert bought some anti-tank mines and automatic mine-laying vehicles, and then went back satisfied.
However, Du Fei did not relax after seeing off his new client, Barber Te.
The previous two times, Baden and Labalon suffered defeat at Du Fei's place. Although Du Fei left later, he didn't think they would give up.
Next, Du Fei is impeccable at home, so they will definitely find another way.
The most likely of these is the sea route to the Middle East.
No matter who Du Fei sells the weapons to, they will eventually be transported back.
Although there is also air transportation, most of it still needs to be transported by sea. As long as they find ways to cut off the sea routes, they can still achieve their goals.
As for Du Fei, although he has received money once or twice, the goods cannot arrive. Although they are in transit, theoretically Du Fei does not have to lose money, but he cannot get the things he paid for, and naturally there will be no one next time.
Come and be taken advantage of.
For Du Fei, this is absolutely unacceptable.
Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.
This time I just used Barber as bait to see what the Utai people would do next.
After seeing off Barber, Du Fei returned to the office and immediately contacted Eagle who was far away in Nanyang.
The spiritual link at such a distance consumes quite a lot of mental energy. While waiting for Eagle's response, Du Fei couldn't help but wonder whether he should lay a submarine line across the South China Sea to achieve direct telephone contact with Nanyang.
With this line, the time and economic costs of domestic and Nanyang communications will be greatly reduced.
As soon as this idea came up, there was already a response from Eagle.
Du Fei immediately concentrated his attention and asked Eagle to be directly responsible for this matter. He also took the opportunity to sort out the forces in Nanyang that were seeking to make a living at sea.
Currently, Eagle's men control the largest group of pirates in the South Seas, but there are still many other forces, large and small.
Some of these people are similar to the original Black Reef Mercenary Group. They only have a few fixed backbones. If they receive a big job, they will cooperate with others. There are also some with dozens or hundreds of people. When they reach this scale, they are all
They are not stragglers, they must have various backgrounds, even if they are not from the Guo family, they are from major plutocrats.
It is almost impossible to eliminate these people. Even if the current group is eliminated, another group will appear within a few months.
As long as there is the Strait of Malacca here, and as long as this is still the busiest maritime route in the world, there will always be people coming and going.
Therefore, Du Fei did not intend to eliminate them from the beginning. Instead, he wanted to use part of the original Slater mercenary group to directly become the largest local group, and then establish an underground order. On this route, whose ship can fight,
Whoever can't take a taxi needs to pay tolls, and whoever pays tolls is useless.
Mastering this power is equivalent to having one more way to deal with the enemy.
Soon, Barbert received the weapons and equipment delivered by Du Fei, arrived at Tianjin by train, and then boarded a ship to head south.
A few days later, Du Fei received a report from Eagle that Fatt's cargo ship had arrived in the southern part of the South China Sea.
Before this, it was a safe sea area, and this is when you really need to be more vigilant.
Sure enough, Du Fei soon received a report from Eagle again, and Sukai, who was entrenched near Siam and Malay, began to take action.
It is difficult for these pirate groups to hide their actions from their peers before they carry out relatively large operations.
It's just a small fight at ordinary times. Once there is a big move, you must prepare in advance.
When it comes to manpower and equipment, no one who can make a living is deaf or blind. Everyone will know about it if there is a little bit of gossip.
In particular, Suchai itself has a certain reputation and is more likely to be stared at.
