Sitting in the broken jeep with air leaking everywhere, Yang Jing felt extremely regretful. If he was not in front of everyone, he really wanted to travel back to the original time and space, and then directly travel to the Nanqi mining area, so that he would never have to suffer this kind of pain again.

In fact, it was also his own fault. He had only heard about how difficult the roads in northern Myanmar were, so Yang Jing didn't know why he was so impulsive and insisted on experiencing it for himself. The result was this almost catastrophic tragedy.

This is not a road at all. Even the mechanized farming roads in rural China are a hundred times better than the roads in northern Myanmar! And this is the road from Mandalay, the second largest city in Myanmar, to Myitkyina, the capital of Kachin State in the north. If this were in China, this would be a proper national highway.

But here, the so-called highways are rare even in the city of Mandalay. As for the 550-plus kilometers from Mandalay to Myitkyina, Yang Jing really had no way to describe this road. This was really a hundred times worse than the worst road he had ever seen in his life!

Yang Jing was really regretting his decision. He had never imagined that northern Myanmar in the 1980s would be in such a mess...

If it weren't for Mr. Nicholas Ballmer who went to Myitkyina with him, and a local Burmese driver, Yang Jing really wanted to go back again...

The journey from Mandalay to Myitkyina was more than 500 kilometers. This broken jeep and the truck behind it carrying smuggled arms actually took two and a half days! When Yang Jing climbed down from the car, he felt that all the bones in his body were groaning...

The skinny Nicholas Ballmer smiled and patted Yang Jing on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Smith, your physique is not good. You need to exercise."

The pain all over his body made Yang Jing too lazy to even say anything in rebuttal.

This Nicholas Ballmer is the Middle Eastern arms dealer found by Mike Alto. He is an American who was said to be a middle-level manager of Raytheon Company. Later, he offended someone for some reason and fled to the Middle East. As a result, he exploded with amazing energy during the Iran-Iraq War that broke out a few years ago and became a well-known underground arms dealer in the Middle East.

Of course, his fame is only relative to the arms dealers working alone. Compared with those rogue countries, he is not even a fly.

But even so, some people would still find him when they needed "goods". For example, last time, Mike Ale asked someone to find him, and then he transported 1,000 AK47s and 100 RPG7s, as well as the corresponding ammunition, to Kachin State in northern Myanmar.

If this kind of small business is seen by arms dealers who are representatives of countries, they would not even bother to pay attention to you. But for a private arms dealer like Nicholas Ballmer who has always adhered to the principle of "no matter how small the mosquito leg is, it is still meat", an arms business of hundreds of thousands of dollars is enough for him to earn 100% pure profit.

The AK47 and RPG7 didn't make much money, but the ammunition made a lot of money. Soviet ammunition was very cheap, so cheap that you couldn't imagine it, especially in the increasingly difficult situation of the Soviet Union in recent years. Ten boxes of vodka could be exchanged for the same amount of ammunition for these AK47 and RPG7 from a certain division commander...

The first business made Nicholas Ballmer some money, but he did not take it seriously at the time. After all, this business was not a big deal even for him.

But just one year later, another order came in, and this time it was no longer for the long-obsolete Soviet-style weapons such as AK47 and RPG7. This time, they asked for a full set of American machine guns and heavy machine guns, as well as the "Stinger" individual surface-to-air missiles that had just been equipped to the US troops on a large scale.

Although the quantity is small, the profit from advanced weapons like the Stinger individual surface-to-air missile is still huge, especially when people ask for four base quantities of ammunition right away. The profit from this business is quite considerable.

Especially this type of individual surface-to-air missile that had just appeared on the battlefield in Afghanistan in 1986, it made the Soviets, especially the Soviet Air Force, cry out in terror. A large number of Soviet war eagles were broken in the sky, and a large number of pilots died in a foreign country - as long as the Stinger hits the plane, it will usually be directly destroyed or there will be no time to parachute.

Moreover, the Stinger has stable performance and great lethality. More importantly, it has strong anti-interference capabilities. Several previous missiles were quickly broken by Soviet military jammers, but the Stinger is unbreakable and difficult to interfere with.

It is no exaggeration to say that the emergence of the "Stinger" immediately changed the situation where the Soviet army had complete air superiority on the Afghan battlefield, and also made an immortal contribution to the Soviet army's final retreat from Afghanistan.

Especially since the unit price of the Stinger is only about 50,000 US dollars. If you add four base amounts of ammunition, ten Stingers and the ammunition alone would be a deal worth up to one million US dollars. Nicholas Ballmer could make a profit of more than 500,000 US dollars from the Stinger deal.

This surprised Nicholas Ballmer.

Could it be that Myanmar, a country so tattered and poor that three people can only wear one pair of pants, can actually afford such things?

Myanmar is not like Afghanistan. Afghanistan is now the battlefield of the confrontation between the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union, and a testing ground for various advanced weapons of the Eagle Sauce and the Bear. And what is Myanmar? There have been wars there for more than 40 years, and it is also a broken place that no one cares about.

At this stage, neither the Eagle Sauce nor the Bear has any idea about that place. That kind of broken place is just mountains and has almost no strategic position. The two superpowers have no intention of being interested in that place. If it is not for the Rabbit to take action on that completely broken piece of poor mountains and bad waters in order to obtain an exit from the Indian Ocean in the future, otherwise even the Rabbit will not be interested in that place.
