Chapter 065 Old Friends

The next day.

A gasoline-powered four-wheeled off-road vehicle set out from the military base, carrying four people to a nearby coastal medium-sized city.

In terms of arms procurement, independent base management is not so strict, because Huo Xiu is the highest officer of the military base. He has the right to use military expenditure to purchase the vast majority of military goods, including some short-range * and other weapons, but he needs to report to his superiors.

He is just going to buy some light weapons to cope with this recruit training. As the highest officer, he only needs to sign a word on the document and upload it to the military headquarters. However, because the funds for the purchase of arms at the previous base have been completely corrupted, this matter may not happen once a year.

There are three people traveling with Huo Xiu. The lieutenant named Gao Jie, who is sitting in the co-pilot's seat, turned his head and looked at Huo Xiu sitting in the back row and asked, "Shir, what kind of weapons are you mainly going to buy?"

"Start with individual firearms and some protective equipment." Huo Xiu said, "Other... Let's go and see what good things those merchants have."

"I suggest buying a batch of grenade launchers." Rose next to him said that Anne did not come out with him this time, and the responsibility fell on her.

"Renade?" Gao Jie asked her strangely, but in the face of Rose with a cold face and her cold eyes, she could only touch the ashes of her nose.

Huo Xiu explained to Gao Jie: "This is the basic configuration of the assault force, and it is also the best combination of the best single-player firepower when the special forces attack."

"Oh." Gao Jie nodded, "I know that there is a company near here that has developed this kind of strong grenade launcher, but it is generally used by the police to launch 40mm* or*."

"Let's go there." Huo Xiu said.

Cars with four wheels rolling on the ground are indeed rare. People generally like to drive suspended vehicles when traveling. Except for some people who like off-road and transport vehicles that need large loads and high-power, basically only the military uses this kind of gasoline-burning vehicles to emit polluting exhaust in large quantities.

However, there is also an advantage, that is, the sound of the engine is particularly loud, the car is roaring over, and people on the street turn around curiously, or use the terminal in their hands to shoot videos or images, and upload them to the Internet to share with their family and friends.

The car was parked in the nearby parking lot, and four soldiers crossed the road to the opposite company building. Perhaps for convenience, there is a store directly in the lobby of the products developed by the company, and there are many kinds. Looking at the advertising in the lobby, it is also an enterprise with businesses all over colonial stars.

Four soldiers entered the store without attracting much attention. Huo Xiu went straight to a sales counter. A salesman looked up at him and asked, "What can I do for you help?"

"Show me all the relevant data of the light weapons you sell here."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The salesman lowered his head and operated on the computer, and soon a hologram appeared in front of Huo Xiu, which was full of relevant introductions.

"Sir, here are pistols, assault rifles and light machine guns, which are specially developed military versions developed by our company. If you need to purchase them, these are the best in the market at present."

However, Huo Xiu, who is used to using the future company's F series firearms, did not have a high evaluation. He just glanced through other types of weapons, and finally chose only a batch of 40mm caliber grenade launchers, while the grenades purchased were only ordinary. The version of chemical gunpowder.

After coming out, Gao Jie asked, "Shir, these weapons are not suitable?"

"It doesn't work. Either the accuracy is too low or the service life is short, and it is difficult to carry out daily maintenance." Huo Xiu shook his head and said, "Compared with the F series of weapons, the gap is too big."

Gao Jie nodded, but there was no good idea.

Huo Xiu walked around the arms enterprises in the city and didn't buy what he needed. Instead, he bought a bunch of bullets. Unfortunately, there was no suitable weapon to exert its lethality.

Just as he hesitated to buy weapons from those manufacturers for a while, Gao Jie took them to another city. On a huge welcome billboard on the roadside, Huo Xiu saw the promotional animation of "Future Company" and wrote down their communication number.

"Go to the place in the advertisement." Huo Xiu said to the driver.

In more than 20 minutes' drive, the car came to the place in the advertisement. At present, it is still a busy construction site with construction personnel coming and going. Construction materials were placed on the surrounding ground, and the wheels of heavy transport vehicles were printed with wheels of different depths on the ground, followed by off-road vehicles.

The arrival of a military vehicle attracted the attention of some people, and soon several people came to their side.

"What can I do for you?" A person who looks like the person in charge asked.

"Are you the person in charge?" Huo Xiu asked.

"I am." The man replied, his eyes stayed on Huo Xiu's shoulder for a few seconds, and then asked, "Are you the regional military here?"

"This is our regional governor." Rose replied for Huo Xiu, "We found that you have a branch here, so come and have a look."

"Oh, so that's it." The man seemed to think of something. He took out two business cards and handed them to Huo Xiu. "This is the business cards of me and the other person in charge, but you have also seen it. I'm very busy now. If you want to purchase arms, you can contact him now."

Ho Xiu turned over the business card, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Martin Brown?"

"Sir, do you know him?" The man asked.

Huo Xiu smiled and said, "The one in his twenties, with blonde hair, likes to wear a white suit, right?"

"Mr. Brown does like this." The man nodded and said, "Why don't you wait a moment, sir? How about I ask him out?"

"No problem."

Huo Xiu didn't expect to meet old friends on this colonial star, but what surprised him was that the last time Martin was making a plan to eradicate his dissidents with his uncle Daniel. After that incident, he should have been there smoothly. Why did he come here again?

However, the answer was revealed soon after Martin arrived.

"It's hard to say!" Martin sighed, "That action did drag down the high levels of several galaxies around, but I still feel that a person can't control such a huge enterprise. Slowly exercising at the bottom is the most suitable way for me in the past few years, so I asked to come here."

"It's really not very good to go to the sky in one step." Huo Xiu agreed, "But you are the person in charge of this area now. I happen to have something to trouble you."

"Don't bother. Just tell me if you have anything." Martin patted his chest and said, "As long as I can do it, I'll do it for you immediately."

"Just say this." Huo Xiu said with a smile. He looked up at the factory under construction, "Your company has more than one factory on this planet, right?"

"There is indeed an old one in another administrative region, but the scale is no longer enough to meet the demand in today's remote areas, which is also the reason for the expansion of the factory. Therefore, my family sent me to be the person in charge here." Martin answered truthfully.

"If I plan to buy a batch of weapons from you and pick them up in a short time, is that okay?"

Martin looked at Huo Xiu, noticed the rank on his shoulder, and understood: "Are you the officer of the abandoned military base nearby?"

"So that's why I need so many weapons." Huo Xiu smiled.

"I'm curious," Martin looked at Huo Xiu. "Who on earth dares to send you to that shabby place where no one wants to stay?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Huo Xiu just smiled and said, "This is arranged by my old man. No one wants to target me."

"Oh, I can't understand it." Martin shook his head, "But as long as the amount of what you just said does not exceed 100,000 units, there is no problem to pick up the goods by air within two days."

"Don't use that much. It only needs more than 3,000 places there." Huo Xiu calculated in his heart that Anne was not by his side. He was suddenly not used to these things and needed to be calculated by himself. "It is estimated that there are more than 3,000, mainly some assault rifles and light machine guns."

"The assault rifle can only be provided for the F-A06 series." Martin said, "The advanced F-A08 has not yet been approved by the alliance. It can't be installed in large quantities. It's okay to give you more than a hundred."

"Well, according to the highest standards you can provide."

"In the transaction price with the military, assault rifles generally start with 5,000 star coins, but not including other zero pendants, machine guns..."

"Oh, don't count those things for me. Give me an affordable price."

"According to the batch of goods you requested, the military's previous purchase price was about 20 million. Considering some other factors, we can often write 30 million." Martin took a look at Huo Xiu and said with a smile, "But don't worry, I'll give you 15 million, how about that?"

"Don't count this from me, just 20 million!" Huo Xiu is not going to take advantage of Martin alone. "Well, you haven't lost too much at this price, have you?"

"I didn't lose money, and I made a lot of money!" Martin smiled and said, "Why don't I fill in a 40 million bill for you and take it back for reimbursement?"

"Does the military often do this?" Huo Xiu was puzzled.

"It's normal. Anyway, there is no big event. Just open one eye and close the other." Martin said it doesn't matter.

Huo Xiu shook his head and said, "I don't need to falsely mark these prices. I paid for the equipment by myself, and I can only find myself to reimburse it."

"Then I can't take advantage of you." Martin frowned.

"Don't worry about this and write 20 million." Huo Xiu said carelessly, "I'll transfer the money to you right away."

Martin looked at the stubborn Huo Xiu and didn't insist any more, saying, "Okay, I'll sell you 20 million." Air freight will arrive in a day and a half.

"I like your point. The transaction is fast!" Huo Xiu smiled and said, " By the way, are you going to stay here these days?"

Martin thought for a moment and said, "This is a very good place, a tourist planet, and the economy is also developed. If you can make some achievements, it's no problem to take root here.

Huo Xiu smiled a few times and said, "That's a good relationship. I'm going to do business with you in the future!"

"Thank you, God of Wealth! But it really echoes our speculation a few years ago - I buy iron, you sell iron, and you are destined to become my big customer!" Martin smiled and said, "Let's go out sometime?"

"I'm afraid not now." Huo Xiu shook his head and said, "I have a lot of troubles to deal with. I'll let you know when I really have time, how about it?"

"It's a deal!"
