Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 382 Base Swap Tactics!

Originally, Bai Ling was just making a casual remark, whether there was any chance or not, and speaking from a business perspective.

It's settled. Xia Yiyi and the rest of the world are willing to lower the price. If they have that willingness, that would be the best outcome.

If it doesn't work out and they're not willing to lower the price, then it doesn't matter.

It was just something I said offhand.

To her utter surprise, she had barely begun, and hadn't even prepared a proper reason, when Ximen Lang blurted out a sentence.
"It's not a freebie; buy an 81 rifle and get a free grenade, is that alright?"

Goodness, the price was reduced so quickly that Bai Ling was completely taken aback.

While Bai Ling was still in a daze, Hao Pingchuan immediately became interested upon hearing that there was such a good thing.

He quickly asked Ximen Lang for details.

"Buy an 81 rifle and get a free grenade? Is that even possible?! What kind of grenade? How many are included?"

"What other kind of grenade could it be? It's definitely the Type 67 wooden-handled grenade!"

After saying that, Ximen Lang pulled out a bunch of Type 67 wooden-handled grenades from who-knows-where. Although they were incredibly cheap, their power was not to be underestimated.

As he handed the package to everyone, letting them open, disassemble, and test the quality as they pleased, Ximen Lang explained it to them.

“67式木柄手榴弹，是以63式木柄手榴弹为基础改进而来的。因为63式木柄手榴弹在设计上参考了德制M24木柄手榴弹的风格，所以67式木柄手榴弹在一定程度上也继承了M24手榴弹的设计理念。”

"The bullet is 204 mm long, 48 mm in diameter, and weighs about 600 grams. It is mainly composed of the bullet body, wooden handle, fuse, etc. I won't go into too much detail, after all, you are all experts, and you can figure it out even if I don't say it."

"Let me explain what improvements were made to the Type 63 grenade, which is the German-made M24 wooden-handled grenade. First, there were improvements to the firing mechanism. Simply put, we added a fuse between the pull tube and the detonator and used sealant to prevent moisture and fire, thus solving the problems of premature detonation and susceptibility to moisture."

"Secondly, there are structural optimizations. We have improved the sealed packaging of the entire grenade, which greatly enhances its reliability and safety. Finally, there are performance improvements. Although the explosive charge has been slightly reduced, its lethality has not been reduced by optimizing the charging method."

In just a few words, he thoroughly explained to Bai Ling and Lao Luo the characteristics of the Type 67: simple structure, easy to produce, good throwing performance, great destructive power, high reliability, strong adaptability, and easy operation and use.

And it immediately gained widespread recognition from two experts, Lao Luo and Hao Pingchuan.

Looking down, I saw that in just a short while, Lao Luo and Hao Pingchuan had already disassembled the Type 67 wooden-handled grenade into a pile of parts.

Sigh silently in your heart.
"You wouldn't call yourself an expert, you really have some skills."

Then, Ximen Lang was about to tentatively talk to Lao Luo and Bai Ling about how much to give as a gift.

As shrewd as Lao Luo, he immediately made a comment.

"Ah Lang, you're so enthusiastic about promoting the Type 67 grenade. Can I interpret that, like the Type 81, you have a large stockpile of this on your end?"

This was truly unexpected for Simon Lang…

Well, he's been so blunt and eager, it would be really strange if Lao Luo and the others couldn't see through it.

Therefore, seeing that Lao Luo had figured it out immediately, and figuring there was nothing wrong with saying it, Ximen Lang just laid it all out.

"Old Luo, even if you have a lot of stock of Type 81 grenades, there's still a difference in quantity. But the Type 67 wooden-handled grenade, there's no limit to how many there are! Why do I say that?"

At this point, Ximen Lang asked Bai Ling, who was standing to the side.

"Ling'er, I told you before that we are also frequently threatened and subjected to nuclear blackmail over there, right?"

After receiving a positive reply from Bai Ling, who then added, "I understand," he said...

With a clap, Ximen Lang continued.

"Let me put it this way, back then, in order to deal with the threat of war, others would frequently resort to nuclear blackmail. We were prepared for a fight to the death!"

"Even... damn it, I don't want my home anymore! Bomb and destroy it all you want! We'll bring our families and move to your territory to live! We'll keep fighting on your turf! Go ahead and drop nuclear bombs on your home if you dare!"

As he spoke, Ximen Lang recounted to Lao Luo and Bai Ling the base-swapping tactic that, even after many years, remained as explosive as ever, a tactic that had left Ximen Lang and the world speechless.

Lao Luo and Bai Ling were so shocked by what they heard that a chill ran down their spines!

It was simply breathtaking, and I couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"I didn't know you could do that?! I've really learned something new this time!"

It even evokes a strange sense of familiarity, instantly giving rise to countless emotions, marveling at how similar they are.

They also deeply felt the hardships that followed and the many dangers on the road to rise.

He explained the base-swapping tactic, which would be absolutely explosive even in the world of explosives, to Lao Luo and Bai Ling in great detail, making Bai Ling and the others gasp in shock.

Ximen Lang continued.

"Back then, we were prepared to fight to the death! Take the Type 67 hand grenade, for example. We were prepared with the determination that each soldier would have 40 grenades, each militiaman would have 4, and each civilian would have 1!"

"And guess what? When they saw how determined we were, those bastards chickened out and were too scared to do anything! As a result, at least 20 billion worth of Type 67 wooden-handled grenades were left unexploded!"

"I'm really suffering from so many grenades," Ximen Lang complained to Lao Luo and the others.

"You have no idea how difficult it has been for us to get rid of these stockpiles over the years! Let me tell you, we've developed and improved no fewer than dozens of different types of hand grenades alone! We've got everything from fragmentation grenades to high explosive grenades!"

"But because there are just too many Type 67 grenades, so many that we can't keep up. To this day, we can only produce small quantities of all our grenade models and deploy them on a limited scale!"

"Many soldiers had already retired, and they never even saw what the new hand grenades looked like or got to handle them. Some models hadn't even had a chance to be deployed and shine before they were already obsolete!"

"It's like heroes have nowhere to fight; can you imagine how tragic that is!"

Lao Luo and Bai Ling couldn't help but sigh for a long time, feeling saddened by the difficult situation of the new type of hand grenade.

They were truly inspired by Ximen Lang, and without any further hesitation, Lao Luo and the others, who felt that it would not do any harm to the world of Beijing, immediately agreed to the deal of buying 81 guns and getting grenades as a bonus.
