Zhao Jianfei is also a little strange. He, Black Panther Gu Lei and Lin Rui are the three heroes of the Black Island. Because they were all veterans when the company was founded, they owned certain shares of the company, and they were also the middle-level backbone of Black Island Company. But they rarely get together and usually have their own tasks.
Because their division of labor is different, Lin Rui is responsible for highly confidential covert operations, usually in small teams. Zhao Jianfei is responsible for providing external military training, providing military assistance, and participating in local conflicts. The Black Panther Gulei is a combat unit responsible for handling large-scale conflicts.
Therefore, apart from large-scale joint operations, there is not much overlap between them in general operations. Silver Wolf summoned them all to St. Keizer Island at this time. There must be something important to say.
Lin Rui nodded and said, "Let's go, I feel like there's something going on here. Let's go over and take a look before we talk."
Silver Wolf was in the semicircular office of the St. Keizer Island Command. After seeing them enter, he nodded to them. "Here? Everyone, please sit down. I have something to talk to you about."
"Which of you has heard of the arms expo?" Silver Wolf looked at them and said.
"An arms expo?" Lin Rui frowned. He had never heard of this word before. He frowned and said, "Is it some kind of arms expo?"
"Almost, there are such expos all over the world every year. But the one I'm talking about is a secret arms expo that only exists underground. Many people in the industry know that this expo is a global market for huge profits and bloodshed, and a symbol of war. It is a gathering place for initiators and human rights violators." Silver Wolf was silent for a moment and said, "You know that there are certain rules for global arms sales. The purpose is to try to avoid arms transactions between exhibitors and some warring countries."
"It's just rules on the surface. In fact, who doesn't make money from arms manufacturers? And why does a country without war need so many arms? It would be ridiculous to argue with arms dealers." Zhao Jianfei said dismissively.
"But it is better to have rules than no rules. The underground arms expo I am talking about is a place without rules. It cannot be said that there are no rules. There are still rules for transactions, but this expo does not have any other restrictions. So some countries that have encountered military sales are frequent visitors there." Silver Wolf Michelle said slowly.
"So, it's a black market." Lin Rui nodded.
"Yes, it is the black market for arms. According to statistics from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute in 2015, the current global arms smuggling transaction volume has expanded dramatically, from US$18.5 billion in 1992 to approximately US$260 billion. Smuggled arms are everywhere. Packages range from hand grenades, guns and their parts to large aircraft, tanks, missiles and even nuclear warheads." Silver Wolf Michelle said slowly, "And the arms expo I'm talking about is only held once every two years. The volume of goods accounts for almost 40% of global arms smuggling.¡±
"Isn't it? With such a large amount, who can be so generous?" Lin Rui said in surprise.
"Secret Society Arms." Silver Wolf looked at them and said, "You all know the origin of the Secret Society. The disintegration of the former Soviet Union in 1991 ended the confrontation between the two powers. A large number of arsenals left in various former republics were closed. A large number of Soviet Manufactured equipment flowed into the black market. The secret society took advantage of that time to rise. From the very beginning, this organization almost became an upstart in the international arms market. In the following twenty years, their development speed and scale have become enough It¡¯s scary.¡±
"I can imagine that last time I saw an arms black market organized by a secret society." Lin Rui nodded.
"The scene you saw was just a small scene. It is completely impossible to compare with the arms expo." Black Panther Gulei shook his head and said, "I know this. This is a global arms hypermarket that does not exist in theory. But it is in reality. It is true that many countries that cannot obtain arms sales through normal channels will participate.
And because of the huge transaction volume, many international manufacturers are also secretly collaborating with them. As long as you spend money, you can buy all kinds of equipment, even tanks and missiles, as well as advanced fighters, and they even sell entire production lines. There are no restrictions, you can buy and sell freely, and you don¡¯t have to pay taxes. "
"Then what do you mean by coming to us?" Lin Rui frowned.
"I received two contracts at the same time, both requiring us to foil this arms expo. One is from the Russians, and the other is from the Americans. It is rare for these two countries to reach an agreement on this matter." Silver Wolf Slowly.
"It's not surprising, because this arms expo has seriously hurt their interests." Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "Although the United States and Russia have always had differences, they are still unanimous on limiting the spread of extremism. of. The war in Syria, againstThey have influence on both countries, and they have also offended extremists. They did not want to see this group of people appear at an expo where they could trade any arms freely and without restrictions. "
"Yes, that means big trouble for both the Yankees and the Russians, as well as endless terrorist attacks. If nuclear weapons and chemical weapons are put on display, it will be even more fun." Black Panther Gulei He nodded.
"So they paid us to try to defeat this exhibition." Silver Wolf said slowly.
"Why don't they do it themselves?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Because there are many buyers and sellers participating in this exhibition who are acquaintances of them. The United States and Russia will appear very helpless and restricted in all aspects when they participate in this matter. They may even accidentally put themselves in a diplomatic dilemma and use Mercenaries have no fear of this at all. This is the value of our existence." Zhao Jianfei shrugged, "But this is not an ordinary task, and their bid should not be low."
"Yes, the mission reward is very generous." Silver Wolf Michelle nodded.
"Yeah, if this secret arms expo is foiled. Some people who are in urgent need of arms still have to go through formal channels. This coming and going can be an output value of hundreds of billions. What is our reward? A drop in the bucket. It doesn¡¯t even count.¡± Lin Rui sneered, ¡°Everyone can calculate this.¡±
"I came to you just to ask you whether I should take this business and which end of it should I take? I've been hesitating for a long time." Silver Wolf looked at them and whispered.
"Anyway, it's the same task, and we've taken it on both sides. Then we can kill two birds with one stone. If we do one thing, we will get two benefits. Besides, for such a task, we need very detailed information. Both companies can provide intelligence, which is undoubtedly the case. Let us have a better understanding of the mission before taking action." Lin Rui said with a slight smile.
