Chapter 17

"Haha, that's right, we are brother nations; this is something even Allah (God) acknowledges, and it cannot be changed!"

The Syrian militants were extremely satisfied with this form of address from Lin Yi.

Following this, the other party even changed how they addressed him:

"Brother, after seeing your strength, our organization hopes to order more munitions to maintain world peace. I wonder if the brother nation can provide them!"

Upon hearing this, the corners of Lin Yi's mouth immediately curled up into a smile.

In any case, the first business deal had already been done; if he were discovered, he would certainly be eating lead.

Now, he was even more uninhibited.

"Of course, but I don't know what your side requires!"

"5,000 AK47s, 200 SVD sniper rifles..."

The other party replied straightforwardly.

Hearing this order, Lin Yi was overjoyed.

After all, one of the upgrade conditions for his arms system technology tree was to sell 5,000 pieces of light weaponry.

Now that the other party had placed such a large order all at once, it completely satisfied his upgrade conditions.

"Brother, I wonder if there can be some discount on the quote!?"

Looking at the other party's message, Lin Yi thought for a moment and replied on his phone:

"For the standard version of the AK47, I'll give your side a 10% discount, at 180 USD per piece. This is already our lowest price.

We only make 2 USD profit per rifle from your side; you must know that with current labor costs..."

Lin Yi replied with a long message, and the other side immediately took it as truth, feeling inexplicably moved.

"As expected of the big brother of the Third World, so honest! A rifle that costs 200 USD, and they can still give a 10% discount!"

To be honest, the Syrian militants also had their own yardstick.

It wasn't as if international arms dealers hadn't come to them to promote weapons in the past.

But those prices—at their most outrageous, the Syrian militants could buy three rifles from Lin Yi for the price of one from those people, and the quality was still questionable.

Many were second-hand, old, or had manufacturing defects.

However, who made the Syrian militants so desperate for these weapons, and most countries internationally wouldn't sell to them?

Therefore, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and buy a pile of junk at high prices.

Now, looking at the brother nation.

Honest—this word seemed tailor-made for the people of the Dragon Nation.

"Good people! If there is an opportunity, we will definitely present a banner from the Third World to the Dragon Nation military!"

The Syrian militants made up their minds.

In any case, in the minds of these people, they thought that the one communicating with them must be the Dragon Nation military.

Perhaps, in some base of the Dragon Nation,

there was a General with golden star epaulettes in charge of this transaction.

After all, on the surface, it was difficult for the Dragon Nation to break through the blockade of the Ugly Nation and John Bull to export weapons directly to Syria.

Therefore, this "Dragon Nation Unofficial Weapons Flagship Store" came into being.

If it doesn't work on the surface, do it in the shadows.

At this moment, Lin Yi naturally did not know that these people in Syria had once again pinned the blame on the Dragon Nation military.

He glanced at the SVD sniper rifle in the weapons catalog.

The SVD sniper rifle, a type of sniper rifle developed and fielded by the Soviet Era in 1963.

It has a caliber of 7.62mm, a total weight of 4.3kg, a total length of 1220mm, a maximum range of 1300 meters, and a magazine capacity of 10 rounds.

It was finalized and equipped to troops in 1967.

Besides the Bear Nation, the armies of countries like the Egyptian Theater, Yugoslavia, and Romania also adopted and produced the SVD sniper rifle.

The SVD sniper rifle is a sniper rifle specifically designed to provide long-range precision fire for infantry squads and platoons, and it is also a model of specialized sniper rifles.

This sniper rifle has an effective range of about 600 meters. The reason the Syrian militants chose this rifle,

on one hand, is because of its good handling and few parts.

On the other hand, it is very durable.

This is just like how many militants like the AK47, not just because it is cheap.

It is also because its structure is simple, the failure rate is low, and it is very suitable for harsh weather like the desert.

Other assault rifles are either expensive or very "delicate."

Looking at the system price for the SVD sniper rifle: 25 USD.

Lin Yi quoted his brother directly:

"500 USD each!"

Even so, the Syrian militants were extremely excited.

You must know that the price of a sniper rifle is generally very high.

For example, John Bull's Accuracy International L115A3 sniper rifle: about 6,000 pounds (about 7,000 USD).

The Ugly Nation's M110A1 sniper rifle: about 7,000 USD.

The Hans' HK G28E sniper rifle also costs about 7,000 USD.

These famous sniper rifles are all priced around this standard.

Although the SVD sniper rifle is a product of the 1960s with an effective range of a mere 600 meters,

even so,

the international quote for an SVD sniper rifle is between 800-1000 USD.

Now that the Dragon Nation military is willing to sell them for 500 USD each, and having experienced the Dragon Nation's military-industrial quality from this transaction,

this is simply the definition of high quality and low price for Syria.

This means that with the same military budget that could only buy one unit in the past, they can now buy two or more.

Regarding this, the Syrian side placed the order almost without hesitation.

Lin Yi provided an account patched by the system.

When the Syrian side transferred the funds to the designated account, the money would immediately disappear from the account.

Then it would vanish into the global stock and futures markets,

and finally enter Lin Yi's controllable account within the country.

In this way, the money became legal income.

Even if Dragon Nation agencies wanted to investigate, they wouldn't find anything; everything was legal.

It was precisely because of the system's patches that Lin Yi could engage in arms trading without worries.

However, with the completion of the first order,

Lin Yi's system panel:

"Host: Lin Yi"

"Age: 21"

"Race: Human"

"Arms Dealer Reputation: 3 (Novice Arms Dealer)"

"Technology Tree Level: One Star"

Clearly, his reputation had increased by 2 points.

In Lin Yi's mind, it must be that after completing the first order,

he had gained a bit of fame among arms dealers, which caused it to rise.

Besides this,

the conditions for upgrading the technology tree: Sell basic firearms (250/5000), 1 million rounds of ammunition (completed), Arms Dealer Reputation 5 points (3/5)."

Lin Yi believed that with the completion of the second order,

the technology tree level should increase, and at the same time, new weapon catalogs would be unlocked.
