Chapter 204 Sir, times have changed
Zhang Ailun asked the Beggar Gang disciples to drive the sand truck back to the city to return the vehicle, while he and Sig drove to Lancaster City.
I took out my phone and searched for the location information, found a mountain area near Lancaster, turned on the navigation, and then drove there.
"Boss, aren't we going back to the city?" Sig was a little confused.
"It's quite lively over in Lancaster. There was a robbery at the Garden Bank. Most of the people from the Black Ribbon Team were arrested and shot, but one driver escaped. I received some reliable information. Maybe I can pick up some bargains if I go there now."
Zhang Ailun did not reveal too much, and Sig did not ask any more questions when he saw this. He understood that the leader wanted to rely on his incredible luck to get something for nothing again.
We drove the escort vehicle to the target location. Soon, after arriving at the Lancaster highway, we saw state police checking vehicles along the way. All vehicles that wanted to enter the city were stopped by the state police and stopped on the roadside for inspection.
Soon it was their escort vehicle's turn. Zhang Ailun showed the police officer his driver's license and explained that he was going there to do a business.
The state police did not make things difficult for them. After checking the authenticity of the documents, they returned them to Zhang Allen and explained, "A vicious robbery has occurred in Lancaster, and many roads are temporarily closed. You'd better plan a suitable route in advance and take a detour through suburban roads or mountain roads to enter the city."
"These robbers are so rampant. It seems that a vicious robbery occurred in the casino in Little Rock a while ago. Oh my God, what happened recently? I don't know if those robbers have been caught!"
Zhang Ailun was shocked, his acting skills were exposed, and he felt deeply regretful about it.
"It's always been like this here, but vicious incidents don't happen often, and you outsiders don't come here often, so you'll get used to it."
The state trooper didn't care. He returned the documents to the two men, said hello to the state trooper next to him, and quickly let them pass.
"Have a nice trip, gentlemen."
"Have a nice day to you too, officer." Zhang Ailun greeted him with a smile, rolled up the car window, stepped on the accelerator and left the roadblock area.
Looking in the rearview mirror at the state police who were continuing to check the vehicle, the chief couldn't help but sigh: "Criminals are discussing the crime in front of the police. Does this seem to be a good way to conceal the truth?"
No wonder many criminals go on a field trip after doing bad things.
"Psychologically speaking, this is an emotion that extends into abnormal psychology," said Sieg.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Ailun looked at Xige unkindly, "Do you think I'm a pervert? Then you're not much better, you're an accomplice."
"It seems that the Little Rock case has a great impact on the circle. Many people are eager to try and take risks." Sig immediately changed the subject and replied.
"It's a pity they failed," said Zhang Ailun.
Otherwise this is another success story.
The road ahead on the highway was blocked, so Zhang Ailun chose to take a detour, turning the steering wheel and heading towards the mountains. After all, he had originally planned to go up the mountain.
Although the police officers captured the members of the Black Ribbon robbery team, they left no one alive and had no idea where the meeting point they had agreed to be was.
The escort vehicle drove smoothly on the mountain road. There was no car nearby, the road was difficult to drive on, and the navigation did not display any location information.
Zhang Ailun simply parked the car in an open space halfway up the mountain, got out, took his equipment, and hiked forward with Xige.
It took more than half an hour to climb to the top of the mountain, but there were no buildings. Sig was a little skeptical, "Boss, are you sure those criminals would come all the way here to sell the stolen goods?"
"Didn't we meet at the mountaintop villa last time? They will definitely look for a sparsely populated area. I checked the geographical location, and only this area is suitable for hiding." Zhang Ailun replied.
Soon they found a Buick that had been beaten to pieces on the trail, with its tires blown out, windows shattered, and front bumper deflated.
"There really is a car they left here!!" Sig was amazed.
The presence of a car means that those people have indeed fled to the mountain, and the base camp is here. The chief leader actually guessed it right? Are you a god?
Soon Sig found footprints and bloodstains in the dense forest. He used his field tracking skills and searched carefully, and found an inconspicuous cabin deep in the dense forest.
"Boss! We discovered it again!"
Sig shouted and called the chief leader over. He was somewhat surprised, but also doubtful. "Is there really a place to live here? Most people would never think of coming here."
When we approached the cabin, we found bloody fingerprints. The door was not closed tightly, and footprints showed that someone had entered the house.
Zhang Ailun took out the gun he carried with him and warned: "Search carefully in the vicinity to see if there are any living people."
Sig agreed, took out his gun and went to check the surrounding environment.
Pushing the door open, the cabin was completely silent and the furnishings were very simple. The tables, chairs, and benches all had traces of being eaten by insects and bitten by rats. There were some empty wine bottles and a construction map on the table.
Zhang Ailun took a look and saw traces of writing and drawing on it. It looked like the design drawings of the bank. They had carefully planned the robbery here!
Soon, we found a person lying on the sofa in the compartment. Next to him was a black handbag with blood stains on the handle. It should be a bag containing money.
Zhang Ailun walked over with a gun and called out tentatively: "Hey, man, are you okay?"
"Well, it looks like you're not well..."
I pointed the gun at his head, got closer and saw that he was covered in blood and had several bullet holes in his chest. He had been cold for a long time.
God knows how he managed to run here despite the hail of bullets. He dared to rob a bank, so he must be a ruthless person, but his luck was a little bad.
Zhang Ailun put on gloves and opened the black handbag, revealing stacks of green US dollars. After counting them carefully, he found that there were a total of 26 US dollars!
"Boss, I checked. There is only this cabin nearby. There is no one else."
Sig pushed the door open and quickly noticed the handbag. Curious, he came over to take a look and couldn't help but be surprised: "So much money?"
"How could the assets obtained from the bank be less?" Zhang Ailun smiled.
He casually took out two stacks of US dollars and threw them to Sig, "Go, check the surrounding environment again to see if there is anything valuable. This money will be your dividend."
Sig counted the money carefully and found that there was a dividend of 2 US dollars. It was really a windfall!
I scratched my head and never thought that making money would be such an easy thing!
I just can't understand why people can be so lucky! Or maybe it's because he's the leader! He's good at making money by picking up bargains.
Zhang Ailun accepted the remaining money, and his accumulated wealth has reached a terrifying 120 million.
An armed bulletproof escort vehicle from Mayweather's company costs about $18, and he can buy six at a time.
The price of a Gazelle helicopter is limited to 22 US dollars, and you can buy five of them. But the chief leader certainly doesn't need that many.
After getting the money, Sig searched the cabin, but found nothing except a few unnumbered pistols and shotguns.
Zhang Ailun picked up his handbag, asked Sig to clean up the traces, and prepared to leave.
We returned to the halfway point of the mountain, got on the escort vehicle, and drove down the mountain smoothly. Driving on the mountain road, we located the coordinates of the Leihuo Company's exhibition on our mobile phone and started heading towards the B-52 hangar in Agoura Hills.
Zhang Ailun received another message from Dominic in the middle of the process and took a look at it.
Dominic: Someone has ordered the glider and the castaway coin for a total of $8! I sold him the coin and he paid $, but he wants to see the glider.
Zhang Ailun: Ok, when I finish my work here, I will go back to deliver those things. You can ask him to wait for us at the airport first, [coordinates].
Dominic: Aren't you in the city right now?
Zhang Ailun: Sig and I are preparing to attend a private arms exhibition held by an arms company to purchase a few armed escort vehicles. Once I have settled things here, we will have time.
Dominic: OK, I will tell the buyer. You guys go ahead and do your business. I won't delay your business.
Zhang Ailun put away his phone and focused on driving. He asked Xige to notify the Beggar Gang disciples who had returned to the city, and called Boktu, who was good at flying, and Qibatu, the crazy ground crew, to help identify the weapons and goods that needed to be purchased, and drive them back.
It took more than half an hour to get to the airport in Agoura Hills. There were quite a lot of buildings on the roadside, more like a small town near the highway.
After parking the armed escort vehicle nearby, Zhang Ailun got out of the vehicle and walked over with Sig. They found that there were many security personnel near the hangar area of the airport. Zhang Ailun showed them his Armed Nation ID and explained that he was here to attend the exhibition. Soon, a staff member came to meet them, swiped their cards, and walked in naturally.
We arrived at the hangar area of the exhibition, where many escort vehicles were parked, as well as trucks carrying boxes of military supplies placed on the ground. The open green boxes contained brand new weapons, with labels clearly indicating their prices.
Leihuo staff dressed in suits and leather shoes, with their ID cards hanging on their chests, introduced the guests.
，一箱24盒，一盒24颗，。
The OpsCore tactical helmet is available for $190, the laser rangefinder for individual soldiers is available for $1900, and the military tablet computer with network card system is available for $10000.
The HK416 assault rifle costs more than $2500 per unit, and can be equipped with a vertical grip and a high-power scope. An M16 costs about $800, plus an OpsCore tactical helmet with a regular market price of $200 and an Interceptor body armor worth $250, and the basic "hard equipment" is complete.
As for the "soft equipment" other than the three-piece suit, it mainly includes auxiliary tools such as tactical gloves and backpacks, as well as small accessories such as night vision goggles and noise-canceling headphones.
The most inconspicuous noise-canceling headphones cost about a few hundred dollars each, but a simple night vision device costs $4000! The purchase price is also around $3200.
There are also high-tech military products, such as the military micro-UAV Black Bee.
It is 16 cm long and cm high, equipped with a full-motion impact camera and static images, weighs 33 grams, has high-precision radar control, and comes with two Black Bee drones that can be used interchangeably. The price is as high as US$19.
There are many more affordable civilian micro drones, including rotary-wing drones, bionic drones, and amphibious drones.
Civilian drones are basically made of plastic or composite materials. Their power mainly comes from electric motors. They carry full HD or 4K cameras as reconnaissance payloads. The performance of the camera determines their reconnaissance capabilities. They can be additionally equipped with attack payloads to deliver light ammunition. They are priced at around US$200-3000.
Civilian drones are battlefield consumables. The biggest difference between them and military drones is their anti-interference ability, which is equivalent to the difference between explosive toys and weapons of mass destruction.
Truly high-end large drones cost tens of millions of dollars, and the internal energy and mental nervous systems they carry are high-end C4 systems or battle skull systems and Thousand-Handed Guanyin systems.
An electromagnetic interference bomb can instantly kill 10 civilian modified drones in a war zone, burning through the circuit boards and rendering them scrapped, but it may not be able to destroy a professional large military drone because it is protected by magical powers.
But from an economic perspective, the most economical and practical weapon on an ordinary battlefield is still the civilian fire-carrying micro-UAV, which has low cost and quick effect.
Even if you are Bolt, and you run until your kidneys are exhausted on the ground, you still can't outrun the drones flying in the sky. You can be killed easily. You will be killed in seconds as soon as you show your head!
The difference between ordinary radar signal scanning and modern electronic warfare active phased array radar is that: a martial arts master gives orders, and millions of scouts under his command run out and then come back to report the news.
In addition, the Mahayana cultivators could instantly expand their spiritual awareness field, and not even an ant could hide wherever they passed.
When you are unhappy, you can also block all five senses of your army. A loud shout will burn through your eardrums, your brain will explode, and your eyes will be full of snow and you will become an idiot.
Play Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf on a loop in your head a hundred times, and even play the short movie Shaomai for you.
What the hell are you doing?
Missiles without radars are like soldiers blinded and unable to shoot arrows, and even nuclear bombs will be stranded.
Aircraft carrier? If an aircraft carrier is blind at sea, you have to go back to the Age of Discovery and crawl back with a compass!
Electronic warfare is so domineering, it can attack at a dimensionality reduction level and be played with in the palm of your hand. It is on a completely different level.
My lord, times have changed.
Those who can come here to participate in the exhibition are basically armed nations with star qualifications. The higher the credibility and weight of the gun store, the higher the discount you can enjoy when shopping here.
Of course, the purchase price of arms dealers cannot be the same as the market selling price, otherwise how can they make money?
It is called an exhibition, but to the leader it looks more like a market for casual cultivators.
There were even two arms dealers who were arguing with each other just to get a discount.
Zhang Ailun took Sig around the exhibition and unexpectedly saw the owner of the Armed Nation on West Street. The owner was also a little surprised to see them and greeted them with a smile, "You guys are here to participate in the exhibition too? Is there anything you like?"
"We do want to get a few escort vehicles. Are you planning to purchase goods here as well?" Zhang Ailun was a little surprised.
"Buying goods? No, I'm here to sell goods!"
The boss of Ammunition-Nation smiled slightly and pointed to a modified Black Hawk helicopter not far away, vividly showing the two what an industry leader was.
"I no longer make money by selling ordinary guns and ammunition. I make more money by exchanging interests with some people. If you want to make a lot of money, you have to do more business. The discarded Black Hawk helicopter, although a little damaged, can still be sold for $500 million in the market price in a third world country, but I only spent $70 to buy it."
Then you are indeed amazing.
He made millions of dollars by just reselling it!
"for example?"
Zhang Ailun humbly asked the other party for advice.
"The business you did today is very good. The major at the Luo Jinwei Military Base seems to have a high opinion of you. Keep up the hard work and you will definitely make more money and get more business in the future." The boss of the Armed Nation smiled.
Seeing someone familiar coming over, he turned around and said to the two of them, "My friend is coming over and I need to discuss a deal with them. You guys can continue your visit."
"Ok."
After watching the other party leave, Zhang Ailun brought Sig to the area where armed escort vehicles were sold and talked to the staff.
There is no change in the price. You can drive away after paying the full amount of US$18. If you need to transport it, you will need to pay an additional escort fee.
The thrifty chief leader would of course choose to let his own people drive the car away, saving on transportation expenses.
"Can we test drive it?" Zhang Ailun asked.
"Of course. This car is a bulletproof version customized by Mayweather Company. The run-flat tires can withstand the sweep of small-caliber bullets, and the bulletproof glass can withstand close-range spray from shotgun bullets. It can perform transportation tasks in mountainous areas and on harsh gravel roads."
The staff handed the car keys to the two men, and Zhang Ailun got in and started the escort vehicle.
I feel that the driving feel and power are better than the escort vehicle of Ammu-Nation.
We drove around the venue a few times and tested the vehicle's performance on specially designed harsh surfaces and sandy swamps. The power and engine are indeed very powerful.
After getting off the car, he discussed with Sig and immediately decided to buy three escort vehicles.
There are four escort vehicles that take turns to take orders and do business, which is basically enough.
The staff also replied: "There are currently 20 armed escort vehicles on sale at the exhibition, 6 of which have been ordered. Only 2 of the Mayweather customized versions are left. The remaining vehicles are mostly bulletproof escort vehicles produced by our Leihuo company."
"Is there any difference?" Zhang Ailun didn't know much about brands and asked immediately.
"There is no difference in quality. Leihuo's escort vehicles are the latest models. It's just that most people only like to buy bulletproof vehicles from big brands, even if it is a stock vehicle produced a few years ago."
The staff explained: "The market price of the Leihuo escort vehicle can be sold for about 20 US dollars, but now it only costs 18 yuan to buy it."
So the customers are getting a good deal?
"Since there is no difference, let's all choose Leihuo. I personally don't care much about the brand effect. Practicality is the best."
Zhang Ailun followed the staff to the hangar to take a look at the actual car. There was basically no difference. It was equipped with run-flat tires and bulletproof facilities, as well as one-touch alarm, emergency call, and satellite call functions.
If you are considering installing powerful firepower on the escort vehicle, you will also need to purchase additional items, such as installing a machine gun, large-caliber cannon, Vulcan Gatling, or howitzer on the roof. However, once such weapons are modified, the vehicle cannot be parked in the city and must be parked outside in the suburbs.
After all, no one can guarantee what you are going to do in the city with this kind of car!
Are you still escorting arms?
You said you were going to bomb the door of a bank vault and launch a terrorist attack on the city government, and they believed it!
