Is it profitable to resell arms?

In fact, there is no business more profitable than arms.

But Li Xin looked through the arms that Xiang Qi was reselling and discovered one thing: this guy was pretty good, as he only resold light weapons.

There are relatively few resellers of vehicles, or weapons such as heavy anti-tank missiles with greater lethality and electromagnetic guns.

As for the reason, it’s probably not because he has a bottom line.

It’s because if these weapons were sold, it would be too easy to be detected, and at the same time these weapons were sold.

These rebels can easily turn around and attack the garrisons in Yadun.

Xiang Qi just wanted to make money, but didn't want to risk his life.

Moreover, many of the weapons he used were weapons of the rebels he had once wiped out.

It's a purely no-cost business, and I've really brought the business to its limit.

After listening to Liu Yang's explanation of the Yadun area, Li Xin and Weng Hua looked at each other and felt a little helpless.

It is impossible to build roads and develop industry in Yadun because the rebels are worried about being wiped out, so they have to harass.

Without industrial development, we will not be able to make money and will not be able to feed the local people.

Unable to feed the local people, these adult men, even Chiru slaves, had to take part-time jobs and become rebels.

This really creates a distorted ecological chain.

If you want to change the current situation here, you can only wipe out most of the resistance forces, and then take advantage of this period to build roads, develop industry, and establish factories.

Although many factories exploit their workers and are capitalists, some construction work can even exhaust many slaves to death.

But relatively speaking, if there are no factories in a place, it would be even worse, because the locals don’t even have the chance to be exploited.

In an instant, a myriad of thoughts flooded Li Xin's mind.

How to bring peace to the Yadun region?

No wonder, neither Rhodes Power Group, Rock Kingdom, nor Blueprint Biotechnology can truly bring peace to this place.

This is a waste of time. Large investments cannot recover costs, and small investments will continue to bleed.

Even if Blueprint withdraws from Yadun, there will still be no peace here.

Because the people here are used to this, they may even fight more fiercely at the beginning.

The people here have lost the ruler who oppressed them, and the remaining people will quickly start fighting, and a new winner will emerge.

The emergence of a new victor does not mean that there will be peace here in the future, because there will always be new rebels and new ambitious people who will follow the old path.

Liu Yang, who was sitting in the front, looked at the two people in the back row who were lost in thought, smiled helplessly, and then leaned back on the passenger seat.

He had experienced the same situation when he first came here.

From the initial passion, to the temper worn down by the rebellions here one after another.

Every military commander who came here wanted to make a career at the beginning.

But eventually, the edges will be smoothed out.

The Yadun region is really a copper pea that cannot be broken or chewed.

…

The convoy was halfway along the way.

A rocket suddenly shot down from above.

"boom!!"

The rocket fired well, but its accuracy was poor and it did not hit any of the vehicles in the convoy. However, the shock wave from the explosion still blew one vehicle beyond recognition.

All the glass in the car shattered and exploded, but fortunately no one in the car was seriously injured.

"Enemy attack!!"

The soldiers shouted at the top of their lungs.

"At six o'clock!"

Soon someone discovered the direction from which the attack was coming.

The vehicle-mounted electromagnetic machine gun was controlled and began to fire towards the enemy.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

The convoy consisted of more than a hundred vehicles, with a long distance between the front and the rear, but the moment they opened fire was almost the same.

The hill at six o'clock was almost instantly covered by firepower. The firepower of machine guns and even machine cannons made the mountain smoke and dust rise up.

But no one knows the outcome of the battle because the distance is relatively far and the enemy may also be a small-scale guerrilla infantry.

After firing for a while, the fire stopped and a drone took off from the rear of the convoy and headed straight for the enemy's location.

The electronic components used in this drone have been specially reinforced and even have optical fibers trailing behind them.

Only by dragging the optical fiber can the drone take off in this complex electromagnetic environment, but the presence of the optical fiber also shortens the reconnaissance and combat range of these drones.

Moreover, it is quite expensive and cannot be used as a suicide drone.

The drone's perspective quickly locked onto the location where the firing had just occurred, but there was nothing there.

After crossing the hill, the camera rotated, continuously zooming in and out, and finally found several fleeing rebels not far away.

This also means that no one was killed in the last round of firing.

The drone discovered the target and the coordinates were instantly transmitted to the convoy.

The self-propelled artillery mounted on the infantry fighting vehicle began to adjust the firing parameters.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several shells were fired in succession, bringing crisp echoes around the muzzle.

The shell flew over the mountains, drew an arc in the air, and its speed brought a terrifying scream.

“Boom!!”

Under the guidance of the drone, several artillery shells accurately hit several rebels who were still running wildly.

After a round of explosions, flames shot up into the sky, and the shock wave of the explosion even caused a large circle of smoke and dust to appear on the mountain.

It took a long time for the smoke and dust to dissipate, and the drone's camera locked onto several bodies that had been blown to pieces.

The drone returned only after all the enemies were killed.

Li Xin, who was in the center of the convoy, watched the entire process of the troops' response measures after being attacked.

It has to be said that these Blueprint regular troops, even though they have always been fighting security battles, are still much more elite than the soldiers of Heng'an Defense.

This series of reactions demonstrates the combat capability of this unit.

But it also made Li Xin see the shortcomings of the Yadun area.

A few rebel guerrillas, armed with a few rifles and a rocket, fired a rocket from a distance, wasting so much time of the convoy.

Not to mention the cost of machine gun bullets and rapid-fire cannon shells fired during this period.

The energy consumed by a drone taking off and landing like this is negligible, but in this complex electromagnetic environment, the damage to the electronic equipment inside the aircraft is also quite serious.

If you add up all the costs this time, it’s enough to buy the lives of these rebels more than ten times.

This may be because the rebels' first rocket was not accurate, otherwise a vehicle and several soldiers might have been lost.

The loss of vehicles, the loss of soldiers' equipment, the cost of training soldiers, the cost of soldiers' pensions, no one can bear such costs.
