Chapter 8: The Second Weapons Order! A Brotherhood of Nations!

In less than a moment, the Holy War Organization sent a message via an international account.

"Respected Observer of the Third World War, the goods have been received, and we are extremely satisfied."

"We deeply admire your nation's military achievements,"

"and hope our two sides can forge closer ties to defeat the evil nations led by the Ugly Country, bringing true peace to the world!"

At this, Lin Yi's lips curved slightly, and he replied in a rather formal tone,

"We agree with your statement. Both our nations belong to the Third World; we are brotherly countries and should watch out for one another... jointly safeguarding world peace!"

"Haha, exactly, we are brother nations; this is a fact endorsed by Allah (the True Lord) and cannot be changed!"

The Syrian militants were extremely satisfied with Lin Yi's address.

Then, the other party directly changed how they addressed him:

"Brother, after witnessing your strength, our organization hopes to order more arms to maintain world peace; I wonder if our brother nation can provide them!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's mouth immediately split into a wide grin.

Since the first deal was already done, getting caught would surely mean eating a peanut (being executed).

Now he had even fewer scruples.

"Certainly, though I do not know what your side requires!"

"5,000 AK-47s, 200 SVD sniper rifles..."

The other party replied straightforwardly.

Hearing this order, Lin Yi was overjoyed.

After all, one of the conditions for upgrading his Arms System technology tree was to sell 5,000 light weapons.

Now that the other party had placed such a large order at once, it fully met his upgrade conditions.

"Brother, I wonder if there could be some discount on the quotation!?"

Looking at the message from the other side, Lin Yi thought for a moment before replying on his phone:

"For the standard version of the AK-47, we will give your side a 10% discount, making it 180 USD per unit; this is already our lowest price,"

"earning only 2 USD per gun for our side; you must know that with current labor costs..."

Lin Yi replied with a long string of text, and the other side immediately believed it, feeling inexplicably moved.

"Truly the big brother of the Third World, so honest; firearms priced at 200 USD per unit can still get a 10% discount!"

To be honest, the Syrian militants also had their own scale of judgment in their hearts.

In the past, it was not uncommon for international arms dealers to come here to peddle weapons.

But regarding those prices, at the most exaggerated times, buying one gun from those dealers for the Syrian militants,

could buy three guns from Lin Yi's side, and even then, the quality was questionable.

Many were second-hand, old, or poorly crafted goods.

However, who could blame the Syrian militants for urgently needing these weapons when most countries internationally refused to sell to them?

Therefore, they could only endure the pain of buying a pile of trash at high prices.

Now, looking at the Brother Nation.

Honest; this word seemed tailor-made for the people of Dragon Country.

"Good people; if we get the chance, we will definitely present a silk banner from the Third World to the Dragon Country military!"

The Syrian militants made up their minds.

After all, in their hearts, they believed the party communicating with them was definitely the Dragon Country military.

Perhaps, within some base in Dragon Country,

a General wearing golden star insignia on his shoulder boards was overseeing this transaction.

After all, overtly, it was difficult for Dragon Country to break through the blockades of Ugly Country and John Bull to directly export weapons to Syria.

Hence, there emerged this "Dragon Country Non-Official Weapon Flagship Store."

If it cannot be done openly, then do it secretly.

At this moment, Lin Yi naturally did not know that these Syrians had once again pinned the blame on the Dragon Country military.

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

The SVD sniper rifle is a model developed and adopted by the Soviet Bear 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 in troops in 1967.

Besides the Soviet Bear, the armies of countries such as Egypt, Yugoslavia, and Romania also adopted and produced the SVD sniper rifle.

The SVD sniper rifle is specifically designed to provide long-range precision fire for infantry squads and platoons, serving as a paradigm for specialized sniper rifles.

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

on one hand, is its good controllability and few parts.

On the other hand, it is extremely durable.

This is just like why many militants favor the AK-47; it is not only because of its cheap price.

It is also because of its simple structure, low failure rate, and great suitability for harsh weather like deserts.

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

Looking at the system's listed price for the SVD sniper rifle: 25 USD,

Lin Yi directly quoted his brother:

"500 USD per unit!"

But even so, the Syrian militants were extremely excited.

One must know that the prices of sniper rifles are generally very high.

For instance, John Bull's L115A3 sniper rifle: about 6,000 GBP (approximately 7,000 USD);

Ugly Country's M110A1 sniper rifle: about 7,000 USD;

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

These famous sniper rifles all roughly meet this price standard.

Although the SVD sniper rifle is a product of the 1960s from the last century, with an effective range of merely 600 meters,

even so.

The international quoted price for the SVD sniper rifle was also between 800 and 1,000 US dollars.

Now the Dragon Nation military was willing to sell them for 500 dollars each, and with this transaction, they had experienced the quality of Dragon Nation's military industry,

which for Syria was simply the epitome of high quality at a low price.

This meant that with the same military budget that previously bought one unit, they could now buy two or even more.

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

Lin Yi provided an account patched by the system,

and once the Syrian side transferred the funds into the designated account, the money would immediately vanish from it.

It would then disappear into the global stock and futures markets,

finally entering Lin Yi's controllable domestic account.

In this way, the funds became legal income.

Even if Dragon Nation agencies tried to investigate, they would find nothing; everything was perfectly legal.

It was precisely because of the system's patch that Lin Yi could engage in the arms trade without worry.

However, with the completion of the first order,

Lin Yi's system panel displayed:

"Host: Lin Yi"

"Stone Stone Stone Stone Age: 21"

"Race: Human"

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

"Technology Tree Level: One Star"

Clearly, his reputation had increased by two points.

In Lin Yi's view, this must be because after completing the first order,

he had gained a slight reputation among arms dealers, resulting in this increase.

Besides that,

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

Lin Yi believed that upon completing the second order,

the Technology Tree level would rise, simultaneously unlocking new weapon catalogs.
