Chapter 22

As well as the M101 model 105mm howitzer.

The M115 model 203mm howitzer.

Mao Xiong's M46 model 130mm howitzer, D20 model 152mm gun-howitzer, and so on.

These artillery pieces were purchased from the System Mall, with prices ranging from $4,000 to $50,000.

However, after Lin Yi added his markup, the selling price would reach $40,000 to $500,000 per unit.

However, the truly expensive part of artillery is not the gun itself,

but the shells.

As the saying goes, "When the cannon roars, ten thousand taels of gold vanish."

In the System Mall, some shells had a listed price as high as tens of thousands of dollars.

One could imagine that if sold, given Lin Yi's nature, he would likely mark up the price tenfold.

Thus, Lin Yi organized the recommended list and sent it to the Xuzheng Prefecture side.

After all, it was a business deal worth five million dollars.

The other party did not place the order immediately but needed to hold internal discussions first.

In addition to this, the Xuzheng side also required some air defense weapons to cope with bombing raids by the Ugly Nation.

Lin Yi recommended third-generation surface-to-air missiles: the Ugly Nation's "Stinger," Su Lian's SA-8, SA-9, SA-11, John Bull's Lynx, Rapier, and Blowpipe.

And Gaul's "Crotale," among others.

Among them, he primarily promoted the Old Mao Zi's SA-11.

This was because, apart from this missile being a medium-range model, the others were all low-altitude or ultra-low-altitude air defense missiles.

However, the Xuzheng Prefecture armed factions did not reply immediately.

After all, if air defense missiles were included, a budget of merely five million dollars would definitely be insufficient.

Just one 9A310M1 launcher vehicle (carrying four ready-to-fire missiles per vehicle) would cost one million dollars for a complete set.

Basically, each 9M37 missile would cost $250,000.

The 9M37 missile.

Length 5.55 meters, diameter 40 centimeters, wingspan 1.2 meters.

Warhead weight 70 kilograms.

Maximum speed 1,230 meters per second.

23G overload.

Range: 2 to 30 kilometers.

Ceiling: 25 to 15,000 meters.

After replying to the Xuzheng Prefecture side, Lin Yi responded to the account "Exterminate Judah."

Unexpectedly, the other party immediately requested an order worth ten million dollars.

Furthermore, they directly gave Lin Yi a list involving various rocket launchers, firearms, bullets, and missiles.

Based on these figures, Lin Yi felt one could fight a small-scale campaign.

For the AK-47 alone, the organization ordered ten thousand units at once.

Additionally, there were Katyushas, equipment capable of creating a dense rain of missiles.

Although such multiple rocket launchers were certainly outdated by current standards, their drawbacks lay in range and accuracy.

However, the advantages of the Katyusha should not be underestimated.

On one hand, there was its lethality; on the other, its cheapness.

Since it lacked technical complexity, Lin Yi's System quote for a single Katyusha rocket was only $50.

Even if he sold each one for $500,

there would still be a tenfold profit.

Moreover, if used well, this rocket launcher could let the enemy enjoy the thrill of being scorched by a carpet of artillery fire.

That would absolutely be hell mode.

"We hope your side can transport the goods to these coordinates...!"

The liaison for "Exterminate Judah" claimed to be the Avenger.

To this, Lin Yi didn't care who you were; he would definitely accept this order.

After checking the coordinates online, it turned out to be the Gaza Strip in Ba Tan.

(PS: New book seeking flowers, tips, and review tickets; your support is the author's motivation!)

At this moment, on the west bank of the Jordan River, an area originally under Batan control.

However, after the Second World War, large numbers of Jews arrived here.

At that time, they traveled on refugee ships bearing banners that read:

"The Hans have destroyed our families and homes; do not destroy our hope!"

The first batch of Jews to reach Batan numbered only a few thousand; they arrived like beggars,

receiving aid from the local Batan people.

Yet, as time passed,

more and more Jews came to this land, treating it as their Holy City,

a reward for two millennia of wandering and persecution.

Thus, the Jews began to expand recklessly across Batan's territory.

They drove out the indigenous people, established separation zones, and penned them up like livestock.

Meanwhile, the land originally belonging to the Batan people grew ever scarcer.

Thus unfolded a real-life version of "The Farmer and the Viper."

At this moment, in an underground cave within the prison-like Gaza Strip,

a group of armed militants wearing headscarves were operating computers.

"Are you certain about transferring ten million dollars to the other party?"

one militant asked uncertainly.

"Yes. Although all weapons from this Longguo arms company are somewhat outdated, their prices are the cheapest,

making them highly suitable for our organization... Moreover, Syria, the backer behind our Hamas, has already purchased many weapons from them,

establishing initial trust; I do not believe they will cause any trouble."

Hearing this, another militant nodded:

"Originally, we needed several more years to prepare our retaliation against those Jews, but once we obtain this batch of arms,

we can absolutely act ahead of schedule!"

"But those people in Fatah have always opposed us!"

"Damn Fatah; they are all cowards. Allah will punish them. We have hidden like rats for so long;

this time, we must send those Jews straight to hell!"

"Exactly. For Allah, we must exterminate these Judases; victory to the Holy War!"

Although one militant wore a face covering, his eyes were bloodshot, betraying intense excitement.

"Enough. First, discuss the specific order details with the Longguo side!"

At this moment, in Modu, Lin Yi picked up a pen and began calculating.

"Five thousand Katyusha rockets at five hundred dollars each... ten thousand AK-47s... two million rounds of ammunition... one hundred mortars... two thousand mortar shells..."

Just then, Ye Yu, having returned from washing up, saw Lin Yi writing something.

Curiously, he leaned over to look, only to find a string of incomprehensible items.

Things like BM-13, AK, and so on.

Naturally, he did not realize these were arms orders, assuming instead they were restocking lists for Lin Yi's dormitory store.

Consequently, he lost interest immediately.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi quickly compiled a long list.

However, he did not intend to deliver the goods quickly this time; after all, such a large volume of cargo theoretically required some preparation.

That evening, after carefully confirming the transaction sheet with the other party,

the Hamas side directly transferred ten million dollars to his designated account.
