Chapitre 907: Chapter 741: Expanding the Military

Accompanied by a long blast of the ship's whistle, the large vessel slowly left the dock.

Gao Guang watched with surging emotions, as this was the first ship he had sent out.

Two hundred thousand rifles, eighty million bullets, ten cannons, a thousand rocket launchers, six thousand rockets, and one hundred and forty man-portable air-defense systems.

The cargo wasn't actually that much, and it didn't even fill the entire ship, but it was valuable, worth more than three hundred million US dollars, although Gao Guang had already prepaid one hundred and fifty million US dollars for the cargo.

The price of arms had been rising sharply, and the reason could likely be traced back to the end of the dividends from the Soviet Union's collapse.

Back then, the weapons transported out of the Commonwealth of Independent States were either in storage or in active service, readily available for sale regardless of cost; the arms dealers profited handsomely.
