Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chen Jie glanced at the money on the table and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

It seems the person in charge behind the weapons black market in Kiev is very cautious.

If someone introduces them to this place through an acquaintance, they will introduce the products through other channels.

but,

If you find this place on your own without anyone introducing you to it.

Then,

Identity verification is required.

On the battlefield, the brave are the most respected.

'The Legend of the Severed Finger' is just a small game, but it can reveal whether your opponent is a master or not.

Chen Jie grabbed the dagger on the table and said with a smile:
"I would have disdained playing this kind of game with you guys if I were betting such a small amount of money."

"But since this is the rule, today I'll show you what the real 'legend of severed fingers' is all about!"

finished,

He spread his five fingers and placed them on the table.

Ta-da!
The next moment, the dagger in his hand flew like a dragonfly skimming the water, the blade passing through the gaps between his fingers.

The speed is getting faster and faster!

Originally, one second was used to tap through the gap between the five fingers as one cycle, and the eye could see the blade.

but,

As Chen Jie continued his stabbing, the blade became almost invisible, making two back-and-forth movements per second, which is equivalent to four times the speed of a normal stab.

Amidst countless excited gazes, Chen Jie slammed the dagger in his hand onto the table.

Snapped--!
The next moment, he slapped his palm, plunging the dagger directly into the wooden tabletop.

In half a minute, the 'Legend of the Severed Finger' was completed in one go, without a scratch.

Everyone around was stunned and speechless for a long time.

Then,

Wow——!
A thunderous applause erupted from the crowd; almost everyone who witnessed this scene couldn't help but shout and cheer for Chen Jie.

Chen Jie looked up at the burly man with the big beard, who then warmly gestured for him to come in.

obviously,
His 'legend of the severed finger' captivated everyone present.

Everywhere, the strong are respected.

Especially in Kyiv, the stronghold of outlaws, there is a deep awe for the strong.

Even those on guard around him were applauding Chen Jie.

After a while,

Chen Jie led Lao Yu and another brother named Liang Li into the weapons exhibition hall.

A moment later, he was slightly disappointed with this so-called world's largest arms black market center.

The store mainly sells individual soldier equipment, such as heavy machine guns, rifles, bullets, mortars, and so on.

These things are not very useful for improving Ximentang's combat strength.

When he was in Southeast Asia, he transported many production lines to the 'other world'.

The weapons displayed in the exhibition hall alone are no longer sufficient to meet the development needs of Ximentang.

Although some of the rockets looked quite impressive.

but,

These items are not very useful in the 'other world'.

A blonde woman from East Ukraine, dressed in a black uniform, followed Chen Jie and introduced the situation.

Her name is Natasha.

obviously,
She was the staff member responsible for introducing and greeting guests, and she knew all the weapons here like the back of her hand.

When Natasha saw Chen Jie walk halfway around, seemingly dissatisfied with everything.

She was somewhat puzzled, wondering if Chen Jie's purpose in coming here was to buy weapons or something else.

"Hello, Miss Natasha, are these the only weapons you have here?"

"To be honest, I'm a little disappointed. These things are too low-end. I need more firepower!"

Chen Jie spoke in a calm tone, making no attempt to hide his wealth; he was a typical "nouveau riche."

really,

Natasha opened her eyes wide, looked Chen Jie up and down for a moment, took a deep breath and asked:

"Sir, you want more firepower? Do you want missiles? Or helicopters?"

Chen Jie shook his head and said:
"No, that's not what I want. I want the production line!"

"For example—money is not a problem for machine gun production lines!"

Machine gun and machine cannon, although they differ by only one word.

but,

The power is vastly different.

The range of a machine gun is only a few hundred meters, and its maximum effective range is only about one kilometer.

but,

The effective range of a machine gun can reach more than six kilometers.

Its parabolic destructive force is completely different from that of a mortar; it uses a high-explosive impact mode.

Machine guns are used for offense, defense, warships, and more, and have extremely strong firepower suppression.

On his way to Kyiv, Chen Jie made a point of looking at various weapons from around the world.

Machine guns were one of his targets.

Modern machine guns are capable of destroying not only helicopters, tanks, and armored vehicles, but also low-flying fighter jets, making them extremely powerful.

If machine guns were mounted on warships, targets on the coast could be easily destroyed.

The combination of machine guns, tanks, armored vehicles, heavy machine guns, and more will create the most powerful "Tank Legion" in the 'other world'.

Natasha shook her head helplessly and smiled, saying:
"Sir, the black market for weapons in Kyiv mainly deals in individual weapons."

"Heavy firepower such as machine guns, helicopters, rockets, and tanks need to be custom-made in advance!"

A hint of disappointment appeared on Chen Jie's face.

He didn't say much; it seemed his trip had been in vain.

Kyiv, the notorious global arms black market center in eastern Ukraine, lives up to its reputation.

If you're just selling individual weapons, such as assault rifles, bullets, machine guns, and rifles, you can find sellers in Southeast Asia.

Moreover, in Pakistan, there are many villages and towns with rudimentary light weapons production lines.

He didn't say much, nodded to Natasha, and then turned to leave with Lao Yu and Liang Li.

Natasha noticed that Lao Yu and Liang Li were each carrying a briefcase with a lot of money inside, and knew that the three of them were no ordinary people.

She quickly shouted:
"Sir, please wait a moment. If you want a machine gun production line, I can help you contact the 'Amchev Arms Factory'!"

Amchov Arsenal!
One of the largest arms factories in eastern Kyiv, primarily producing artillery.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie was taken aback, then frowned and said:
"Can you contact the 'Amchov Arms Factory'?"

Natasha nodded and said, "That's right, I can help you contact 'Amchov Armory,' but you need to pay me five thousand dollars in advance!"

Armored factories that manufacture artillery, tanks, and rocket launchers naturally have production lines for machine guns.

Chen Jie didn't say much, and simply took five thousand US dollars from Lao Yu's hand and handed it to Natasha, saying:

"Here's five thousand dollars. When can you take me to see it?"

"If you can satisfy me, I can pay you another 50,000 US dollars after the matter is over."

His attitude right now is one of immense wealth and power!

Natasha stared at the five thousand US dollars Chen Jie had offered, and paused for a moment.

They really are a nouveau riche!
“I can take you there right now, sir. I’m familiar with the contact person at the Amchov Arms Factory and can arrange for you to meet immediately.”

"As long as the money is in place, we can provide not only 'machine gun production lines,' but also tank cannons and rocket launchers."

Natasha put away the five thousand dollars and said with a serious expression.

For the arms factories in Kyiv, eastern Ukraine, the problem isn't a lack of weapons and ammunition, but a lack of funds.

Over the years of conflict in eastern Ukraine, the Amchov Arms Factory has changed hands several times.

After the negotiation,

Natasha drove a used Toyota Land Cruiser, taking Chen Jie, Lao Yu, and Liang Li with her to the Amchov Arms Factory.

Chen Jie assigned Lao Yu's men to guard the area near the airport in Kyiv.

Natasha was a very beautiful woman, with typical Eastern European features. She had blonde hair and very large headlights.

The key is,
She dressed very fashionably, and her clothing was by no means conservative.

Even though the night wind was chilly, Natasha was dressed in suggestive black clothes.

Her face was heavily made up, and half of the searchlight was exposed, making her quite striking.

She was driving a used Toyota Land Cruiser, the accelerator revving loudly.

In war-torn regions, these rugged off-road vehicles sell very well.

Not only in Eastern Europe, but also in the Middle East, these rugged off-road vehicles are best-sellers.

When Natasha brought Chen Jie to the Amchov Armory, he found it to be very remote.

In the distance is a huge abandoned oil refinery, which looks like it has been bombed by missiles, with its gates in ruins.

Chen Jie was somewhat surprised when he saw this scene.

'Amchov Arms Industry' was once a world-renowned arms factory, but who would have thought it would turn out like this?

Only a few emblems on the factory gate bear witness to its former glory.

perhaps,

After the war in eastern Ukraine ends, 'Amchev Arms Industry' will face disappearance.

Click——!
After getting out of the Land Cruiser, Natasha lit a cigarette.

A blonde beauty smoking has a unique charm.

Chen Jie smiled calmly, glanced up at Natasha, and didn't say anything or rush to get out of the car.

He turned and gestured to Lao Yu and Liang Li, telling them to keep an eye on the briefcase they were holding.

The safe was full of cash, a total of five million US dollars.

Natasha took out a cigarette and handed it to Chen Jie.

but,

Chen Jie shook his head, indicating his refusal; he didn't smoke.

Natasha said:
"Amchev Arms Factory is one of the largest arms factories outside Kiev, but unfortunately, it's on the verge of bankruptcy after these years of war!"

"They'll definitely be willing to sell you the 'machine gun production line' you want, as long as the price is right."

"However, you should be prepared for one thing: it will be quite difficult to move the 'machine gun production line' out of Eastern Ukraine."

Chen Jie nodded without saying a word.

He wanted not only machine gun production lines, but also heavy machinery engine production lines, and even more so, armored vehicle production lines.

If 'Amchov Armory' has what he needs.

He wouldn't mind buying the entire arsenal outright.

After a few minutes,
A burly man emerged from the 'Amchov Armory'.

After he opened the gate, he gestured for Natasha's car to go inside.

After entering the arsenal, Chen Jie looked around.

The bustling scene of the arms factory had long since disappeared from the entire 'Amchev Arms Factory'.

bankrupted!
That's right, a large amount of weapons and ammunition in eastern Ukraine are supplied by Europe and the United States.

Therefore,
Domestic military factories produce weapons at much higher prices than those produced outside the country.

This will inevitably lead to the collapse of many arms factories in eastern Ukraine.

The entire arsenal looked very desolate, with many parts rusted.

In the factory square, there are many heavy tank guns, and even semi-finished armored vehicles, tanks, and so on.

These items are all unfinished products, and their surfaces are already rusty, clearly indicating that no one has taken care of them.

Given the current situation in eastern Ukraine, these heavy machinery and equipment are basically abandoned.

Inside the 'Amchov Armory', there are occasionally some skilled workers.

but,

Judging from their heavy drinking, management is very lax, and there are clearly no production plans in the near future.

Although the fighting on the eastern Ukrainian front is intense, the supply of weapons and ammunition is severely insufficient.

But the warehouses were filled with weapons and equipment sent from Europe and the United States.

Even if the military in eastern Ukraine had plans to procure weapons, almost all the money ended up in the pockets of those in power.

Without capital investment, these arsenals could not have started large-scale production.

this moment,
Looking at everything around him, Chen Jie could vaguely sense that the situation in eastern Ukraine was about to become increasingly severe.

If things continue like this, there is an over 80% chance of defeat in eastern Ukraine.

of course,

All of this is none of his business; he has no intention of having anything to do with the war in eastern Ukraine.

After a few minutes,
Natasha's Land Cruiser SUV was parked downstairs at the office building.

The place was brightly lit, and there were quite a few people around.

It seems that although the entire 'Amchov Armory' is on the verge of bankruptcy, it still has a considerable number of staff members.

The burly man leading the way appeared to be a soldier.

He was tall and had strange tattoos on his arms.

He looked very cold. He nodded to Chen Jie and the other two, then turned his gaze to Natasha.

"Natasha, why are you dressed like this? What are you doing?"

It is clear,
The burly man was very familiar with Natasha, and he was extremely dissatisfied with her attire.

"None of your business is my business!"

Natasha shouted.

It turns out the two are siblings; no wonder Natasha personally brought Chen Jie and the other two to the 'Amchov Arsenal'.

The two siblings met, and the atmosphere was tense.

but,

Perhaps because of Chen Jie, Natasha quickly stopped the burly man from getting angry and introduced him to Chen Jie:
"Hello, sir, this is Ap-Sherikuruvsky!"

"He was the workshop director at the Amchov Arms Plant, specifically in charge of artillery production."

Natasha speaks fluent English.

She works in the center of the Kiev weapons black market and is fluent in several languages.

Chen Jie didn't waste any words and went straight to the point:

"Mr. Ap-Sherikuruvsky, what do you have in your Amchev Arms Factory that you can sell to me?"

Apu-Sherikuruvsky nodded and greeted Chen Jie:

"Just call me Ap. I heard about your situation from Natasha on the phone."

"I cannot make a decision on your request to purchase the 'machine gun' production line, or even other heavy weapons production lines."

"However, I can introduce you to the boss of the Amchov Arms Factory. You can talk to him directly."

"The sale of production lines is related to technology transfer, and only the boss can make the decision."

Chen Jie nodded and said calmly:

“No problem, take me to see your boss. What I need is the production line, not just simple weapons.”

"The price will absolutely satisfy you."

Ap didn't expect Chen Jie to agree so readily. He hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and said:
"However—before meeting our BOSS, I hope—!"

Suddenly, he stammered, unsure how to begin.

After taking a deep breath, he looked up at Chen Jie and said:
"Ten thousand US dollars! I need a ten thousand US dollar referral fee."

"As for whether you can reach an agreement with the BOSS, I can't guarantee it."

"You need to understand that it's very risky for me to take you to see the BOSS."

“If Natasha hadn’t said you were big buyers and reliable, I would never have taken you to meet the BOSS.”

Chen Jie was too lazy to listen to the other party's nonsense, so he took out ten thousand US dollars and threw it to the other party.

Ap was slightly taken aback and quickly counted the items.

call--!
He took a deep breath and carefully put the money into his pocket.

"Just a moment please--!"

They take money and do things!

Ap-Sherikuruvsky is a trustworthy person.

Don't be fooled by how readily Chen Jie paid; he had already known the other party's thoughts using his 'Buddhist Tantric mind-reading' technique when he gave the money!
If the other party harbors any ill intentions, Chen Jie will not only refuse to pay, but will also make them pay a heavy price. (End of Chapter)
