I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.

Chapter 264 Military Equipment Really Makes Money

Bradley, the president of Blackwater Group who was watching the live stream, was also stunned when he saw the lineup that Yang Chen sent out.

"Seriously? Humanoid robots and robotic horses? Didn't Boston Dynamics say that Sihai Intelligent only had civilian versions, not military versions? Fuck! This equipment is way behind theirs," Bradley said angrily.

The vice president standing next to him said, "If the M46 can hold out for a few more days, we still have time to replenish our equipment for our brothers in Africa. I'll call Lopez right now and tell them they must get a military version out immediately!"

Bradley nodded and said, "I'll play!"

Bradley immediately called Lopez, asking for military versions of the humanoid robot and the robotic horse.

Lopez said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, we started a little late. The civilian version is still in mass production, and the military version is not available yet."

Bradley said, "Have you seen StarCraft's live stream? They've got human robots and machine horses all deployed, and our equipment is lagging behind. I don't care, I need it immediately, so you'd better figure something out."

Lopez replied, "That price will definitely be very high. Can you accept that?"

Bradley replied, "I don't mind if it's a little pricey, as long as it works well. I want it right away."

Lopez sighed and said, "Okay, I'll try. Wait for my call."

See, the business has come in.

Lopez immediately called Yang Chen and said, "Mr. Yang, why did you include humanoid robots and robotic horses? Blackwater Group is trying to buy them from me, but I don't have military versions. Could you please airlift some military versions to me as soon as possible?"

Yang Chen said with difficulty, "I'm sorry, the military version is in short supply right now. I don't even have enough for myself, so I don't have any extra for you."

Lopez didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "I'll give you 50 Eagle Dollars per set for the humanoid robot and 20 Eagle Dollars per set for the robotic horse. Give me 100 sets of the military version first. Is that okay?"

To be honest, the price is really competitive. The actual selling price is in Dragon Coins. Now that Lopez is willing to use Eagle Coins, Yang Chen will definitely be satisfied.

But.

If I have something that others don't, and the other party is eager to get over me, then I'll definitely ask for more money.

This is Yang Chen's consistent style of doing things; he is never polite to foreigners.

"This isn't about the money. You're buying it and reselling it to the Blackwater Group to use against me. Do you think I'd sell it to you for such a small amount of money? What if they use it to damage my equipment? I'd suffer huge losses. It's not worth it for such a small amount of money. You're a seasoned businessman, don't you think?" Yang Chen said.

Lopez sighed helplessly and said, "That makes sense, but I really need it urgently. How about this, we'll include the loss of your equipment in the calculation. I'll cover half, and you'll cover the other half. I'll give you 75 Eagle Coins per set of humanoid robots and 30 Eagle Coins per set of robotic horses. Is that alright, Mr. Yang? I've made quite a bit of money for you these past two years. Please be lenient and consider my difficulties."

Yang Chen deliberately remained silent. At this moment, as long as he kept his composure, Lopez would take the initiative to raise the price.

really.

Lopez, not hearing Yang Chen's reply, quickly said again, "Mr. Yang, just name your price."

"Is it absolutely necessary to buy it?" Yang Chen countered.

Lopez replied, "Yes! We absolutely have to buy it!"

“120 million Eagle Coins for a set, including a humanoid robot and a robotic horse. I not only have to consider the possibility of my own equipment being damaged, but also the casualties of my personnel and the consequences of potential failure. I won't consider anything below that price; it's not worth it,” Yang Chen replied.

Lopez gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! 1.2 million Eagle Dollars a set it is. Wait for my news."

Lopez quickly hung up the phone and immediately called Bradley, the president of Blackwater Group, offering a price of 250 million Eagle Dollars per set, with a minimum purchase of 100 sets.

Capitalists are truly ruthless, but that's to be expected. After all, the US military spends 9 Eagle Dollars on a single pack of screws (9.9 dollars including shipping), and 120 million Eagle Dollars on robots and robotic horses. Considering transportation and subsequent modifications, 250 million Eagle Dollars per set is already a reasonable price.

If Lopez hadn't considered that Blackwater was a private company and that the price might be too high, he would have really offered 500 million peso for a set.

Bradley exclaimed, "Fuck! That's expensive!"

Lopez replied, "You're in a hurry. We need to test a large amount of materials in a short time, and the cost is too high. But don't worry, I can guarantee you that once mass production begins, the price can be reduced to one million. It's like medicine; a medicine that costs a few cents to produce needs to sell for at least ten thousand in the early stages. Right?"

As Bradley watched the StarCraft military industry's massive advance in the live stream, he couldn't help but think about how his brothers would be crushed by these emotionless robots. He would have to spend a lot of money on resettlement and suffer reputational damage.

So, it doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive, as long as it can withstand Yang Chen.

“Alright! 2.5 million per set it is! When will it be delivered?” Bradley asked.

Lopez replied, “If you pay in full, we’ll work 24/7 and deliver in 3-5 days. You’ll get absolutely great value for your money, you can rest assured.”

“Okay, get production going, I’ll transfer the money to you right away,” Bradley said.

Yang Chen was watching the live stream when Lopez called.

"Haha... Mr. Yang, our deal is done. 120 million Eagle Dollars per set, 100 sets in total. Send them to me right away, and I'll transfer the money to you immediately," Lopez said happily.

Yang Chen joked, "Mr. Lopez sounds very happy. It seems he made a good profit from this deal."

Lopez laughed and said, "Oh, I'm just making a meager living, not as much as Mr. Yang. Well then, it's settled then, I'll transfer the money to you right away. I'll send you the address and contact person later, and you can just airfreight the goods to that address and hand them over to that contact person."

After hanging up the phone, Lopez sent me an address in Moscow.

Yang Chen handed it to Huang Wei and instructed, "Go to Xingchen Military Industry and give it to Guo Hu. Help him airlift the things we prepared for Boston Dynamics to this address."

Huang Wei nodded and immediately went to do it.

More than half an hour later, 1.2 million Eagle Dollars were deposited into Xingchen Military Industry's international account.

Starry Sky Military Industry and Blackwater Group have already made a net profit of 100 million Eagle Dollars before even officially clashing. Arms dealers really make a killing. No wonder the White Eagles are stirring up trouble everywhere, even going so far as to take matters into their own hands.

If Yang Chen can make so much money from such a small dispute with the Blackwater Group, imagine how much profit the real battlefields must generate every day.

At this time, StarCraft's unmanned army had entered the territory of the M46 rebels, and M46 also dispatched robot dogs and other equipment supported by the Blackwater Group.

Blackwater's unmanned equipment comes from Boston Dynamics, which in turn uses equipment from Sihai Intelligent. All of Sihai Intelligent's intelligent equipment sold to the public can be remotely controlled.

Therefore, the result was predictable: the M46 unmanned equipment either missed or was a step too slow, and simply failed to hit the equipment belonging to Xingchen Military Industry.

Meanwhile, Xingchen Military Industry's robot dogs and other weapons launched a very sharp attack, tearing M46's equipment to pieces with a barrage of fire.

The M46 aerial drones were saturated by mosquitoes and flies and were destroyed in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, Xingchen Military Industry's drones, carrying robotic dogs, landed in the core area of ​​M46 and turned around to encircle the M46 frontline personnel. The drones bombed the M46 armed personnel who came to support them, while mosquitoes and flies hidden among the grass and trees also carried out saturation bombing of the M46 reinforcements.

The aerial footage taken by the drone shows that the M46 militants had no ability to resist at all; it was a one-sided massacre.

Upon seeing this result, Matt Barnes, president of Blackwater Africa, was instantly enraged.

"These idiots, didn't they say they learned it? Why can't they even figure out how to operate it? Fuck! What a waste of all this equipment, it's completely useless," Barnes said angrily.

At this moment, M46 Commander Orwin, who was watching the live stream from his hideout, also cursed: "Damn Blackwater Group, what kind of junk did they send? It's completely useless."

Seeing his hundreds of brothers on the front lines being surrounded and rapidly losing men, Orwin couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.

At this rate, we need to take down his base before nightfall.

At this moment, the chat in Xingchen Military Industry's TikTok live stream was filled with comments.

"Wow, that tactic of using drones with robotic dogs to parachute behind enemy lines is so cool, it's practically impossible to defend against. You can imagine you're fighting a bunch of machines in front of you, and suddenly another bunch of machines appear from behind you out of nowhere, how desperate would that be?"

"This is the unmanned equipment that the M46 militants were bragging about in their live stream? Haha... It's completely useless in a fight. Look how clean and efficient Yang Chen's unmanned equipment is. M46's unmanned equipment is just a toy."

"Humans simply can't fight unmanned equipment. Humans can dodge and feel fear, but unmanned equipment doesn't dodge or feel fear. They only have one goal: to eliminate the enemy." "It's a complete dimensional reduction attack; there's nothing to see here. Now we can only hope that the battle between Blackwater Group and Starry Sky Military Industry can achieve a stalemate."

"I just went to the live stream of that M46 militant. He was killed by the robot dog in less than a minute. His phone fell to the ground and I could only hear the sound, but I couldn't see the picture."

……

At this moment, the high-ranking officials of the Bald Eagle, who were watching the live broadcast, looked solemn and unhappy.

After a while, military representative Hania said with a smile, "Everyone doesn't need to worry too much. Those guys from M46 are trash. They obviously didn't use those equipment properly. The Blackwater Group guys can use these smart devices skillfully. I wouldn't say they can defeat Yang Chen, but they can at least guarantee they won't lose."

Defense Secretary Chris said, "I feel like something's not right, but I can't quite put my finger on it."

Commerce Department official Raventon said, "I also feel something's wrong. This equipment is clearly not as good as Yang Chen's. Boston Dynamics makes so much money, but they supply junk products. It's a wonder that your military and Department of Defense still protect them. They're practically playing with national security."

Military representative Hania said, "Fuck! You're spouting this nonsense again. Then find a company that can replace Boston Dynamics. How did you conclude that this equipment is garbage? If Blackwater uses it and it has the same effect, then it proves the equipment is inadequate. Isn't it too early for you to draw conclusions now? I just don't understand, why are you so intolerant of Boston Dynamics? Does your backer want to get involved in this field? If so, just say so, and we can discuss it. Stop with these underhanded tactics and dirty talk. Okay?"

Reventon was speechless after Hania's words and could only remain silent.

Return to the battlefield.

The 364 members of the M46 organization's first line of defense were quickly wiped out by the pincer attack. The Golden Fruit army protected the Starry Sky Military Industry operators as they advanced a short distance to replenish ammunition for the unmanned equipment and perform simple inspections and maintenance.

After completing these tasks, the unmanned equipment continued to advance.

According to official intelligence from King Kong, M46 has a total of 3689 members, and only one-tenth of them have been eliminated so far.

As the main force advanced, the soldiers of the Golden Fruit Army came out to clean up the battlefield and pose for photos, which would be great material for their domestic propaganda.

Members of the M46 organization even brought out rocket launchers and outdated mortars, preparing to bombard the unmanned army.

But at that moment, mosquitoes and other equipment launched a fierce saturation attack on them, blowing people and equipment up together. Their so-called artillery battalion of 500 people was blown to pieces before they even had a chance to perform.

Only a few people carrying shoulder-mounted RPG rocket launchers fired a few shells, but they were intercepted by the saturation armor-piercing rounds from the machine wolf pack.

Viewers who saw the footage from the drone's overhead camera flooded the screen with praise.

"This is too powerful, giving them absolutely no chance to fight back. I've always looked down on mosquitoes and flies, but they always manage to play a crucial role."

"Although these equipment are outdated, as long as they can be launched, they can destroy Yang Chen's unmanned equipment. It's a pity they didn't have the chance to launch them."

"I've discovered a pattern: if you're going to fight Yang Chen, you have to make sure there are no mosquitoes or flies around you. Even if there's just one, you have to get rid of it beforehand. Otherwise, it's very likely that it's Yang Chen's unmanned equipment, which can always accurately strike the target at the critical moment."

"With such a large fighting force, even if we bring in Da Mao and Er Mao's fighting scene, they could hold out for several days without any problem, and they would definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on the enemy. But they couldn't even withstand Yang Chen's unmanned equipment attack for three minutes. How can they fight like this? If I were a member of M46, I would surrender right now. Surrendering would only mean going to jail at most, but if we continue fighting, we will definitely die."

……

Xingchen Military Industry's ground equipment launched a large-scale surprise attack on M46 to lure them away and gain an advantage. Drones carrying dozens of robot dogs were once again airdropped to the enemy's core position and turned around to encircle and annihilate the M46 members at the front line. Aerial drones and unmanned aerial vehicles carried out explosive interception of reinforcements, once again trapping more than 1500 people from the M46 organization at the front line in a complete encirclement and defeating them one by one.

Orwin realized this situation was not good and decided to use another flanking maneuver to wipe them all out.

So Orwin ordered the remaining brothers to charge forward recklessly, determined to destroy the StarCraft unmanned equipment and lure it into the minefield so that the mines would blow it up.

To be honest, this tactic is feasible.

If their opponent were a real person, they would suffer heavy losses once they stepped into the minefield.

Unfortunately, they were facing unmanned equipment that was several generations more advanced than their own. Their minefield had already been located by the Earthworms, and the location of every landmine had been marked and recorded in the system. Even if they went into the minefield themselves to lure the unmanned equipment there, the equipment would not go there.

When the boss gives the order, the underlings have no choice but to charge forward recklessly.

However, the gap in equipment cannot be bridged by sacrificing lives. At this moment, the bionic birds in the sky swooped down and launched a series of suicide explosions into the crowd. Drones also dropped bombs on the personnel charging on the ground. Mosquitoes and flies around them launched a saturation attack on the M46 members. In addition, a dense army of spiders rushed out, completely blocking their advance and cutting off their retreat.

The Bald Eagle executives who were watching the live stream gasped when they saw this scene.

Military representative Hania exclaimed in shock, "Fuck! So that's how these machines are used! We haven't even figured out these tactics yet. With this kind of fighting style, what ground force can stand against them?"

Chris from the Department of Defense said, "Blocking the signals there, cutting off their contact with these devices, would render them useless, wouldn't it?"

Hania said, "Yes, didn't we remind Blackwater to send them signal-blocking equipment? Why aren't they using it?"

It wasn't that they didn't want to use it, but the signal jamming equipment that the Blackwater Group had given to M46 was precisely destroyed as soon as the battle began.

If they really wanted the signal jamming equipment to work, they should have activated it before StarCraft Military Industry even reached the territory of King Kong Fruit. That way, StarCraft Military Industry's mosquitoes, flies, earthworms, and other agents wouldn't be able to enter the battlefield in advance to ambush and gather intelligence.

By the time the battle begins, it will be too late to activate the equipment. The equipment will already be locked in, and even if the signal is blocked, the equipment will still use the image recognition function to accurately destroy it.

Even if they successfully jammed the signal, Xingchen Military Industry's unmanned equipment would only be unable to communicate with the operator, not unable to attack. The combat system had already been inputted with the characteristics of the M46 crew members, and the unmanned equipment could autonomously find and attack targets that matched the characteristics based on image recognition and other functions.

Soon, Xingchen Military Industry's unmanned equipment combat system will incorporate thermal infrared sensing. If the signal is blocked, the equipment can use thermal infrared sensing to launch indiscriminate attacks on organisms within the target area.

The only weapon that can deal with these unmanned vehicles right now is an electromagnetic pulse bomb; one shot and they're all burned to ashes.

However, electromagnetic pulse bombs would certainly not be used in such a situation.

If one day the Blackwater Group gets desperate and actually manages to acquire an electromagnetic pulse bomb from its homeland, then Xingchen Military Industry can help the country test the effectiveness of its own electromagnetic pulse bomb.

Hania called Bradley, the president of Blackwater, and asked, "Didn't we send signal jamming equipment to the M46 organization? Why aren't they using it?"

Bradley sighed and said, "Don't even mention it. I just called Matt Barnes and he said those devices were destroyed at the very beginning of the battle. It's unbelievable how accurately they located the signal jamming equipment."

Hania sighed and said, "I originally thought I could use the M46 organization to hold off StarCraft for a month or two, but it seems I was overthinking it. They can't even make it through today."

Bradley said, "We didn't expect them to do anything significant; we just used them to test the power of StarCraft's equipment. Now we can confirm that StarCraft's combat capabilities are indeed formidable; real people are almost no match for those machines. I have a favor to ask: could the military provide us with a few electromagnetic pulse bombs? If we really can't hold off those junk, we'll destroy them with electromagnetic pulse bombs. Once they're out of that equipment, our brothers can seize the opportunity to storm their command post and annihilate them."

Hania immediately replied, "What are you thinking? How could we let you use this weapon so easily? We've already communicated between the two sides, and you're only allowed to use it yourselves. How well you use it depends on your own abilities. How could we risk activating S3 to support you with electromagnetic pulse bombs just to help you keep your three mines? Get rid of that idea immediately and think about how to win using the equipment you have."

Bradley said somewhat irritably, "Fine, I got it. Hang up, I need to have another talk with Matt Barnes."

At this moment, on the battlefield.

As Orwin watched himself being surrounded, his brothers falling apart one by one, an overwhelming sense of fear forced him to surrender in order to save his life.

However, under these circumstances, he had no chance to surrender.

Left with no other option, Orwin had to call the middleman Leonardo da Vinci for help.

“Mr. Da Vinci, you need to get the Blackwater Group brothers to come and support us right away! We can’t hold on any longer,” Orwin said.

Da Vinci immediately replied, “Mr. Orwin, it’s not that we don’t want to support you, but we simply can’t get through. The Golden Fruit region is under martial law right now; if we want to get in, we’ll have to fight their government forces, and you know how serious the consequences would be. Don’t you have minefields? Guide all that equipment into the minefields and blow them up, then you can launch a counter-offensive. StarCraft only sent less than 300 people, and they’re not good at large-scale warfare. Without the help of unmanned equipment, they’re a complete mess. Good luck, I believe you can do it.”

Orwin immediately retorted, "Fuck! You make it sound so easy. We're already surrounded. The officers can't break out, so how are we supposed to lure the equipment into the minefield? It's all your fault. We were doing just fine here, but you came knocking on our door with your designs on those three mines, and that's what got us into this mess."

Da Vinci laughed and said, "Mr. Orwin, if you keep talking like that, it's pointless. I have nothing more to say to you. Bye."

Da Vinci immediately hung up the phone, which infuriated Orwin, who then launched into a tirade of curses at the air.

As the encirclement of the unmanned equipment grew smaller and smaller, and his brothers were almost all dead or wounded, Orwin simply didn't have the courage to hold on any longer.

He shouted at the bionic birds, drones, and other equipment: "Stop fighting! Stop fighting! Surrender! Surrender! I'll testify that it was the Blackwater Group that instigated us to seize your mines!"
