Chapter 169
And in the capital of Iran, Tehran,
the commander of the Holy City Brigade, Su Manni, after receiving the support of the Supreme Leader,
naturally had no more scruples about purchasing goods from the DWS weapon platform.
Just now, he had the network liaison officer spend over 80 million USD on weapons in one breath.
Anyway, this batch of weapons was so cheap.
If it were internationally, weapons with similar performance,
if Iran didn't spend 200 or 300 million USD, they certainly wouldn't be able to get them.
Since that was the case, Su Manni felt he didn't lose out at all.
Even if Iran didn't use these weapons, they could support those armed forces resisting the Ugly Nation.
To tell the truth, this time he planned the major event of attacking the Ugly Nation's base in the Middle East.
Su Manni's name could be said to be famous throughout the Middle East.
Although he certainly became a thorn in the side of the Ugly Nation, who wished to kill him as quickly as possible,
even if he didn't do this,
would the Ugly Nation let him go? Obviously impossible.
He knew he had long been on the Ugly Nation's blacklist.
Since that was the case, he naturally had no scruples at all.
Instead, through this action, he gained immense prestige in the Middle East region.
In this way, he also obtained more authority granted by the Supreme Leader.
After placing an order for 80 million USD in one breath,
Su Manni started selecting the latest model tanks on the DWS platform.
However, at this moment, a banner suddenly floated across the DWS platform website:
"Warmly celebrate the birth of the first Diamond VIP on this platform!"
Seeing this scene, many customers who were selecting weapons on the website stopped their actions.
Some people secretly thought:
"This is the real big shot, having spent 100 million USD!"
"This should be a national-level procurement. This is standard weapon stocking!"
The 24-hour monitoring groups specifically established by various countries for the DWS platform all reported this matter immediately.
For many countries,
there were no longer any small matters on the DWS platform.
Especially with this catalog update, some Western countries were collectively a bit terrified.
After all, if their most cutting-edge weapons were sold for money, it would definitely spread to the whole world in the future.
Then how could they continue to lead the world?
The regrettable thing was that because the DWS platform did not expose the customer information of those upgraded to Diamond VIP,
the Ugly Nation's intelligence department didn't know who it was either.
And in Iran, at this time, although Su Manni was stunned for a moment because of the banner the platform made,
this didn't disturb his mood to continue selecting weapons.
Generally speaking, heavy weapons like tanks
are roughly divided into three categories: Ugly-made, North-made, and Bear-made.
Countries like Iran would normally choose Bear-made weapons
because Bear weapons are cheap and durable.
The price of one of the most advanced Ugly Nation M1A2 Abrams main battle tanks is normally twice that of the Bear Nation's T90MS tank.
However, when Su Manni could finally click on the M1A2 Abrams icon on the DWS platform and be able to purchase it,
even he was shocked.
Even with his temperament, he rubbed his eyes uncertainly.
M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tank
Total weight: 63.5 tons
Crew: 4 people.
Main weapon: 1 120mm smoothbore gun
Built-in internal combustion engine power: maximum power 1100 kW, maximum speed 67.6 km/h.
Maximum range: 412 km
Main armor parts: composite armor of mesh depleted uranium alloy
The fire control system is a command type, including an independent thermal imager for the commander, and a three-in-one stabilized aiming sight for the gunner with a carbon dioxide laser rangefinder and thermal imager.
Price: 4 million USD
That's right! It's 4 million USD.
Actually, it's no wonder Su Manni found it unbelievable.
One must know that even the cost for the Ugly Nation itself to build one M1A2 Abrams main battle tank is over 8 million USD.
And if the Ugly Nation exports them, they basically mark the price up to over 30 million USD, sometimes even reaching 40 million USD, and that's still the monkey version for foreign trade.
What kind of concept is this?
This is equivalent to saying that the money Iran would spend ordering one M1A2 Abrams main battle tank from the Ugly Nation could buy 10 from the DWS platform.
At this moment, before Su Manni's eyes, it was as if he saw a steel torrent composed entirely of M1A2 Abrams main battle tanks, driving all the Ugly Nation's forces out of the Middle East.
However, what he didn't know was that
the actual purchase price of the M1A2 Abrams main battle tank within the system was 400,000 USD, and the sales price was 4 million.
Bear Nation T-72 tank, actual purchase price 200,000 USD, sales price 2 million USD.
Bear Nation T-90 tank, actual purchase price 250,000 USD, sales price 2.5 million USD.
Perhaps in the eyes of the system, the M1A2 actually doesn't have much difference from the Bear Nation T-72.
In its eyes, they are all low-end weapons,
and things like intellectual property rights, labor costs, and depreciation expenses simply don't exist.
One tank only charges the cost price of low-end materials.
So the price is outrageously cheap.
Even if Lin Yi marks it up 10 times,
this price is still very popular internationally, enough to make everyone jealous.
To tell the truth, if the Ugly Nation knew about this, wouldn't they go crazy!
From now on, who would be willing to order M1A2 Abrams main battle tanks from them?
Even if they lowered the price to the cost price of over 8 million USD, it is estimated that very few would buy them.
After all, isn't the DWS platform's price of 4 million USD per unit fragrant?
If the quality is the same, the money for one unit can buy two, and there's still some left over.
Even a fool knows how to choose.
The reason Lin Yi set the price at 4 million USD
