Chapter 345: Strategy and Tactics of the Small People (10)
“I’ll make it simple. Provide ten times the amount of goods you’ve purchased so far. Is that possible?”
The Chinese commander was worried about what to do if the Italian Chinese asked him why the orders had suddenly increased.
‘You can’t say that all the supplies in Montpellier were blown away by enemy artillery fire.’
Fortunately, the Chinese didn’t ask questions like why the number of orders suddenly increased.
I like that aspect.
“How long will it take to prepare it?”
“As soon as possible. I would like it to be ready within three days, if that’s what you want.”
“We can bring it in today, not in three days.”
“What? Really?”
The commander’s eyes widened.
Even if we prepare the supplies, load them, and set sail right away, it will take at least a few days.
But can you arrange it today?
“There is a shipment heading to Ukraine, South America, and the Middle East. It is currently floating in the Mediterranean. All we have to do is turn the ship this way.”
“Huh… … . It’s as if you expected me to place an order.”
“That’s not possible. It’s a normal, everyday transaction.”
“This level of transaction is commonplace? How much volume do you handle?”
“Haha, General, you are so honest and upright that you probably have no idea how huge the international arms black market is. The international arms black market is where nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, and even guided weapons are traded.”
“I thought it was a metaphor to show how big and deep the black market for weapons is. They really deal in nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles?”
“Yes.”
“Are you saying that the nuclear powers are turning a blind eye to that?”
“As a rule, 100 police officers can’t catch one thief. And when it comes to nuclear weapons, I don’t sell them to just anyone. I only sell them to people who I think will never use them.”
Those words startled not only the commander but also his staff.
“Are you saying that you also handle nuclear weapons?”
“Yes.”
“Uh… …Could you tell me where you stand in the international arms black market?”
“Well, there are very few merchants who think of themselves as inferior to me. But there is no one who thinks of himself as superior to me.”
It means that the minimum ranking is a joint first place.
The commander looked again at the Italian Chinese man in front of him.
At the same time, I felt the grand pride of the Han people rising in my chest.
‘Oh, great China! Oh, great Han people!’
It is incredible that he acquired such enormous influence in a faraway land without telling his country.
Couldn’t this be considered a position comparable to that of a king?
“Anyway, if you give the order now, the ships floating in the Mediterranean can be diverted to Montpellier.”
“Is that okay? What about the customers who were supposed to receive it?”
“You can reship it. There will be a slight delay, but you can add a little more service fee to compensate for that. Your customers are not in a hurry to deliver the goods.”
The commander pretended to look at the Chinese.
“What if there was an urgent matter that would have caused great harm to the original customers if they did not receive it immediately?”
“Then I wouldn’t have said from the beginning that I could supply it today. That’s because it’s a quantity that can’t be touched.”
“Wow. Your credibility is solid.”
“I do this because it is a transaction where I can afford to delay the schedule a little but provide a little more service. There is no place where trust is more important than this.”
The Chinese shrugged and added.
“Because if I mess with the arms sales, the customer will come looking for me to kill me.”
“I don’t think you’ll take it easy.”
“Of course, I have at least a minimum level of self-defense skills, so I’m not easily attacked. But the most important thing is to not create such a situation in the first place.”
The more we share our stories, the deeper our faith becomes.
It was expensive, but it was great
There was also a history of transactions where quality materials could be procured at a rapid pace.
‘If I could make a poem with this guy.’
The commander even thought about that.
The same was true for other staff members.
Because the abilities displayed by the Italian Chinese were so outstanding, they unconsciously began to admire him.
“Instead, you have to pay 40% more for the price.”
“They are currently offering 20 times the market price, and then another 40% on top of that?”
Adding 40% to 2,000% gives you 2,800%.
That is 28 times the original price.
“It’s not a high price. Considering the service volume to appease the original recipient’s claim and the reshipment cost, I don’t have any money left over from the 40% surcharge.”
“Hmm… … Then I have nothing to say.”
“I charge a high risk premium, but I only do deals that are worth it. Sir, there is no way to get this much material in France at the moment. It is definitely not expensive.”
“Okay, okay.”
“Then I will order the ship to turn around immediately.”
“Do so.”
The Chinese man was about to make a phone call when he suddenly stopped and looked back at the commander.
“General, I think I missed an important notice. I need to double check.”
“What?”
“The amount of goods you have purchased from me so far
“You asked me to bring ten ships, but there is more than that on board. Once the ship turns here, it will all be unloaded and the ship will return empty, so you will need to purchase all the cargo on board… … .”
The commander laughed heartily at those words.
The staff also enjoyed it, laughing as if it was funny.
“Haha, don’t worry about that. I said 10 times because that’s the minimum amount needed right now.”
“Is that so?”
“As you know, the supply route has not been cleared yet, so supplies are not being supplied properly. In this situation, the more surplus supplies there are, the better. Aren’t wartime supplies disappearing like snow melting in one battle?”
“Then I will give the order to turn the ship around. Oh, by the way, there are other exhibits on the cargo ship besides the supplies you purchased, General.”
“Don’t worry. We’ll buy them all.”
“Then I will turn the boat around with peace of mind.”
A few hours later, in the port of Montpellier, several ships could be seen approaching in the distance.
There were three large ships: two large cargo ships and one large car carrier.
The officer who checked it through the telescope opened his mouth in surprise.
“Wow, it’s big. It’s really big. It’s so big.”
“How are you going to dock that big ship without a tugboat?”
A large ship like that would naturally need the assistance of a tugboat when entering or leaving port.
Otherwise, there is a high chance that the port facilities will be destroyed.
“Oh, it’s coming!”
“You crazy! What the hell are you thinking!”
Massive lumps weighing hundreds of thousands of tons per ship approached the port.
Because it is a class of ships, it is impossible to dock with precise micromaneuvers, and it will probably hit the port and cause great damage.
But then something amazing happened.
The ship, which had been coming in gently and slowly, stopped right on the dock with its side facing the dock.
It was an absolutely amazing concoction.
“Is this possible?”
“Wow, so even subordinates have to do this much to become a weapons dealer.”
“This is really great.”
The Chinese officers felt shocked as if they had entered a new world.
Just by looking at the skill of handling this huge ship, you could tell how skilled the Italian Chinese were.
“But how do you unload these containers? The port cranes aren’t working… … ”
Port cranes are powered by oil and electricity.
But now the city has no electricity and no spare gasoline.
This is a situation where we need to extract gasoline from the tram.
“Oh, the cargo ship has its own crane.”
“That’s fortunate.”
The Italian Chinese came out laughing.
“How can arms smuggling take place in a place with proper unloading facilities? You have to be able to handle everything from start to finish yourself to make a living in this business.”
“Oh, I see.”
Unloading the containers was a breeze thanks to the ship’s mounted cranes.
While the container ship was being unloaded first, other officers boarded the car carrier and were horrified.
“What does all this mean!”
The car carrier contained a wide variety of items, including military vehicles of all types, civilian cars, helicopters, old coastal guns, and infiltration yachts.
“What, what are all these things?”
“Our Third World customers need everything from rubber boats to military helicopters, so we were carrying everything we could get our hands on.”
“Well, a lot of these we don’t really need right now…”
“Where on earth would you use a civilian car during an exhibition?”
“But the Commander-in-Chief said he would purchase all the goods on board the ship.”
The officers just shut their eyes tightly.
The Italian Chinese spoke in a whisper.
“Why do you think that we don’t need private cars? During wartime, everything is in short supply. There isn’t a single bicycle left in Montpellier right now, and the Korean army has taken them all. Also, the French have abandoned their cities and are in a hurry to retreat, so there is a dire lack of transportation.”
“Hmm.”
“Even after the war, France will be in a state of chronic shortage of everything. If you provide these materials, the French government will be very grateful for the distribution of the great China.”
“I can’t help it. A promise is a promise. I was just surprised because I didn’t realize there were so many things I didn’t need right away.”
“I know. And I was also confident that you would accept it.”
“Heh heh heh.”
Let’s leave aside the miscellaneous items that are not immediately needed on the car carrier.
The Chinese commander was shocked to see the quantity of fuel, drinking water, food, combat rations, medicine, ammunition, and other personal items brought by the Italian Chinese.
I laughed and accepted it generously because it was more than 10 times the amount I needed right away.
The number of containers alone reached a whopping 43,000.
For a moment, the commander was at a loss as to how to report this, but he soon made up a plausible story and reported it to his superiors.
“We have secured enough supplies to cover the route of advance and reinforcements for the follow-up units. This is enough to sustain the entire People’s Liberation Army that has advanced into France for more than two months.”
“Good work. I don’t know about anything else, but your local procurement skills are truly amazing. You have the skills befitting a commander of an expeditionary force.”
“Thank you. But the price is a little expensive… … .”
“What does the price matter? Considering the cost of sending supplies from the home country to France, I don’t mind paying more than ten times that amount.”
“… … 28 times.”
“… … I will make sure to report this to His Excellency the Chairman.”
* * *
“Your Excellency, wouldn’t it be better to simply capture the Montpellier occupation force and collect the ransom?”
“That’s just the vanguard of the expeditionary force. There are many more Chinese troops waiting near Lyon. We need to make sure that they all cross the water line and come here.”
“Oh, are you trying to catch them all at once and get more ransom?”
“No. Once they all come over, we blockade the sewer line, cut off the Mediterranean Sea, and confine them to the southern coastal area of France. After that, we continue to sell them only the supplies necessary for survival, excluding ammunition.”
The idea is that the entire Chinese army, which has run out of ammunition and is trapped in the south, cannot move anywhere, and they can make money by selling only food, drinking water, and oil.
“Anyway, I can only get the ransom once. So I have to sell as much as I can before then.”
“So you went around scraping up all that useless naval equipment?”
It’s not just naval equipment.
Baekdu Motors also bought up the toxic inventory of internal combustion engine vehicles that were difficult to dispose of at a discount and sold them at 28 times the market price.
“The longer you delay collecting the ransom,
“You can do business with them for a long time. There are 400,000 of them, 400,000 of them. It’s an opportunity to monopolize a small city and sell everything from toothbrushes to smartphones, but you have to keep them in a fence and raise them for a long time.”
