Chapter 715 Armed Forces



What would be your expression when you come home and suddenly find your house full of weapons and ammunition?

Shock? Horror? Or surprise?

Li Nanxing didn't know what expression he should make.

It was just one leisure afternoon. Li Nanxing had no classes on his schedule that afternoon, so he had the idea of ​​returning to the space and lying down to watch a movie.

Then, with just a thought, she returned to the space. When she looked up, she saw a pile of assault rifles, submachine guns, pistols, boxes of ammunition full of bullets, rows of rocket launchers and artillery shells. The most exaggerated thing was that there were two armored vehicles in the distance!

How did this place become an arsenal?

Li Nanxing's first reaction was whether she had walked into the wrong space?

Did she accidentally run into someone else's space?

I looked around and found that everywhere else was still the same as before, including my own small villa. This really was my own space!

"Xiaoxing? What happened? Did you go to resell arms behind my back?" Li Nanxing quickly pulled his housekeeper and asked.

Li Nanxing basically doesn't care about the things in this space. She leaves all matters to Xiaoxing. For example, Xiaoxing is responsible for planting and breeding in the space, and also does the tidying and cleaning of the space. So when such a big change occurred in the space, Li Nanxing of course asked Xiaoxing first.

"This was all done by Xu Mingchen and his gang! They sold the goods to the Soviet Union, and they exchanged them for weapons!"

After a long time, it turned out that Xu Mingchen and a few other guys had joined forces to sell various products produced by Li Nanxing's company to the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union was not doing well during this period. There was a serious shortage of food in the country. In particular, the Soviet Union focused on the development of heavy industry and military industry, and investment in agriculture was relatively insufficient.

In terms of resource allocation, a large amount of funds, technology and manpower have been invested in the industrial sector, while agricultural infrastructure construction and agricultural scientific research have lagged behind, affecting the sustainable development of agriculture.

The staple food of the Soviet Union was wheat, which was basically made into bread, which is also the black bread we are familiar with.

As for things like meat, cheese and sausage, don't even think about it, as people simply can't afford them.

However, alcohol, as a daily drink for Soviet people, is a must.

Jokingly speaking, a Russian can live without food but cannot live without alcohol, because alcohol culture has penetrated into the daily life of the Soviet people.

Perhaps it was because a large amount of grain was used to make wine that led to frequent food shortages in the Soviet Union!

Because even dry and hard bread like black bread was often in short supply during the Soviet era!

The Soviet Union also implemented state-owned stores, including state-owned department stores and cooperative stores, all of which were collective in nature.

Like China today, they also implemented a rationing ticket system, with food tickets, cloth tickets, meat tickets, bicycle tickets, TV tickets, and plane tickets. People had to bring money and tickets to buy things in state-owned stores.

This is not the point. Because of the tight food supply and shortage of supplies, the Soviet people had to queue for most of the day every time they wanted to buy supplies.

It is no exaggeration to say that it was common for Soviet people to queue for five or six hours every day.

American journalist Hedrick Smith wrote a book about his experiences in the Soviet Union, The Russians, which quickly became a bestseller upon its publication.

The article mentioned that "Russians spend 30 billion working hours every year queuing to buy things, not including the billions of working hours waiting in barber shops and post offices. These 30 billion working hours can make 15 million people work for a year at 40 working hours per week."

This passage vividly describes how the Soviet people wasted too much time queuing.

For most of the time, the Soviet Union was short of not only food, but also a lot of daily necessities. The production of textiles, for example, was seriously insufficient. If you were in the hot south and wore less, it wouldn't matter, but in the cold north, wearing less would really freeze you to death.

Not only are daily necessities such as clothes, sweaters, cotton coats, hats, gloves, and socks in short supply, but footwear is in even greater short supply. Not only are there fewer high-quality leathers that can keep out the cold and rain, but the craftsmanship for making shoes is also relatively backward, and production cannot keep up, which leads to a shortage of shoes.

Not to mention that household appliances have been in short supply for a long time, and cleaning products and cosmetics are also pitifully scarce. Even ordinary daily soaps are scarce, not to mention shower gel and shampoo, the production scale is even smaller.

The same is true for cosmetics. Even ordinary lipstick is difficult to buy, and there are no perfumes, eye shadows, mascaras, etc.

Isn’t that a coincidence?

Li Nanxing's companies can basically produce all the products that the Soviet Union lacks, such as various cans and convenience foods produced by food companies, various clothing, shoes, socks, hats, gloves, bags, etc. produced by clothing companies, various cosmetics and anti-frostbite products produced by cosmetics companies, and various small household appliances produced by technology companies. Aren't these all products that the Soviet Union is in urgent need of?

However, the Soviet Union had been short of US dollars for a long time, and the Soviet ruble was of little use in the international market. In the end, it had no choice but to exchange weapons and ammunition for the necessary supplies.

Of course, all the materials traded to the Soviet Union did not have the labels of the Star Company. Even the food packaging was simple, with only the name of the food and the production date simply marked. As long as there was no company name, there was no need to worry about being discovered, let alone retaliation by a hegemonic country!

Remember the heroine in "Wind Blows in Half Summer" who bought scrap steel in the north and ended up buying several tanks. Now it happened to Li Nanxing!

The Soviet Union had such serious corruption during this period, so it's not surprising that it quickly collapsed ten years later!

Fortunately, there is Li Nanxing's space, otherwise it would be difficult to transport so many weapons and things as big as armored vehicles back!

It was also because there were such heavy military equipment in the space that Li Nanxing had the idea of ​​taking over the Electric Switch Park!

There are so many weapons that are not being used. Are they just kept in the space as decorations?

Li Nanxing arranged for interested personnel in the bodyguard company to leave the company early on, recruited other personnel, and sneaked into the Dianzha Park in a low-key manner. He formed a militarized force locally, and then slowly eroded and absorbed armed forces of all sizes. Now he has occupied a small part of the territory.

What remains are several larger armed forces with better equipment.

The purpose of Li Nanxing's coming was to minimize his own casualties and to steal the heavy equipment of these armed forces!

She is a professional when it comes to looting!
