Chapter 978 If it's not for sale, take it yourself.
If, in addition to completing the production tasks assigned by the authorities, one can also take on orders from domestic arms sales companies, there will be additional income.
Although there are regulations that prohibit the sale of weapons produced without permission, James's company is a domestic enterprise, and there is absolutely no problem with selling to domestic companies. As for whether these weapons are ultimately shipped out, that is none of their business.
Zhang Yunhe and Baldwin quickly agreed on a price.
Baldwin pulled Zhang Yunhe aside and asked in a low voice, "Do you want biological weapons?"
Zhang Yunhe's heart stirred. He had almost used up all the poison gas bombs he had obtained from the Japanese. If the clowns were willing to sell them, he wouldn't mind buying a batch.
He asked, "What kinds of biological weapons are there?"
“Chlorine, mustard, sarin, Louisiana—I have it all. Whatever you want, I can sell it to you!” Baldwin said in a low voice.
Zhang Yunhe took out a cigarette case, handed one to Baldwin, and asked, "How many can you sell?"
Baldwin replied, "I can sell you as many as you want!"
"How are these biological weapons launched? Are they launched manually?"
"We only have two types of projectiles here. One is for field artillery firing, and it looks like a regular artillery shell, except that it has markings on the body. The other is for aerial dropping; it's larger and has a wider kill zone. The two will definitely have different prices."
What are the prices for each of these four types?
Baldwin said, "If you want them all, and in large quantities, I can give you the same price for the same type of projectile. If they are all projectiles fired from field artillery, the price is the same for all four types; if they are for airdrop, the price is also the same for all four types."
He then said, "For field artillery use, it's $50 each; for airdrops, it's $500 each!"
Zhang Yunhe shook his head and said, "The price is too high. If it's this purchase price, I simply can't sell them!"
Baldwin lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and asked, "What price are you looking for?"
"Small ones are $15 each, large ones are $150 each. If you agree to this price, I'll take 1000 small ones and 1000 large ones!" Zhang Yunhe said, smoking a cigarette.
Baldwin was getting a little anxious: "You're pushing the price too hard. A regular 76mm shell costs $15 to produce, let alone this one which has been modified. The small one is $20, and the large one is $180. I'll also throw in 1000 cans of flamethrower fuel!"
Zhang Yunhe looked up: "2000 cans!"
Baldwin thought for a moment, then held out his hand and said, "Deal!"
Zhang Yunhe shook hands with him and said with a smile, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!"
James and Baldwin will handle the specific handover details; Zhang Yunhe only needs to receive the goods in Los Angeles.
After finalizing the details of the shipment, Zhang Yunhe and James did not linger there for long. After leaving, they went directly to the airport and took off again for New Jersey.
Fortunately, it's not far from New Jersey; it only took two hours by plane to get there.
We booked two rooms at a hotel at noon and had lunch there.
At 2 p.m., James drove Zhang Yunhe in a rented car to the Piccadilly Arsenal.
He and the person in charge here are clearly old friends.
"The person in charge here is named Woods. I didn't know him at first; I met him through a friend's introduction. But don't worry, I've been working with him for several years. More than a third of the weapons and drugs I sold to you before came from him, so our relationship is purely based on mutual benefit!"
As a sergeant led him to see Woods, James whispered these words to Zhang Yunhe.
The two met with Woods without any problems.
Under Woods's direction, a soldier carrying a bazooka fired a rocket and destroyed a bunker; a second soldier used it to penetrate the armor of a medium tank; and a third soldier used it to pierce the wall of a house, causing an explosion inside that tore several dummies to pieces.
At this time, the bazooka rockets were perfectly capable of dealing with medium tanks and simple concrete bunkers, but they were less effective against heavy tanks and reinforced concrete bunkers.
Fortunately, the Japanese didn't have any heavy tanks or reinforced concrete bunkers, so this type of bazooka rocket was more than enough to deal with their tanks, pillboxes, and bunkers.
"I'll take it! 2000 rocket launchers and 10 rockets!" Zhang Yunhe placed the order on the spot after inquiring about the price and doing some haggling.
In the evening, Woods hosted dinner for Zhang Yunhe and James at the hotel where they were staying, and expressed his intention to cooperate with Zhang Yunhe in the long term.
Considering that his own weapons company was not yet able to produce large-caliber artillery, tanks, and armored vehicles, Zhang Yunhe ordered 20 M1 203mm howitzers from Woodsde at the dinner table, specifically for dealing with the Japanese's permanent fortifications.
They also ordered 200 M2 105mm howitzers and shells, so that even if they couldn't sell them, they could keep them for themselves.
As for artillery with a caliber of less than 100 mm, his weapons company can now produce them.
Foreigners are also very cunning. Zhang Yunhe knew that Woods had the latest heavy tanks that he had developed and manufactured, but Woods refused to sell them to him. He only sold him the earliest T1 tanks. Meanwhile, the clowns were already stepping up production of T1E2 and T1E2 heavy tanks.
It's alright if you don't want to sell. Zhang Yunhe didn't force him. If he can't sell it, can't he just steal it?
Late that night, after James was fast asleep in the next room, Zhang Yunhe immediately changed into his Ironblood gear and rushed to the armory as fast as he could.
Despite the heavy security, it was no different for Zhang Yunhe than if there were no guards at all.
It's possible that the various weapons and ammunition produced by the arsenal were promptly transported to the front lines, so the arsenal's warehouses didn't have many weapons.
Zhang Yunhe spent over an hour browsing through the various warehouses, but found nothing of interest. He looked down on the rifles and bullets, the small number of small-caliber artillery pieces, and the light and medium tanks, and the limited quantity of each item also failed to pique his interest.
只是在一间仓库里看到了10辆TIE2和8辆T1E3重型坦克，这倒是让他颇为喜欢，于是毫不客气的笑纳了。
Having come all this way and only managed to get this little bit of information, Zhang Yunhe was very dissatisfied, so he sneaked into the arsenal's archives room.
In this archive room, he first discovered the design drawings for the bazooka rocket launcher and rockets.
Good stuff! I immediately took out my miniature camera to take a picture, and then put it back in its place.
He then found design blueprints for several large-caliber artillery pieces and heavy tanks.
