Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 25 Modified AKM
Early the next morning, Song Heping sat in a chair next to the container house and drank lemonade.

When he woke up in the morning, he had a splitting headache.

Those bottles of Scotch the cook bought last night might be fake.

If it were real wine, why would it cause a headache?
"funeral."

The gray wolf didn't know when it was behind him.

"Good morning."

"You have a headache too?"

"Well, the wine the cook bought last night is probably fake."

Hearing what Gray Wolf said, Song Heping smiled.

I didn't expect that someone had the same idea as me.

After the Illigo War, the liquor business also boomed.

Everything is expensive in a war zone.

Smuggling alcohol is also a good business here.

Currently, most of the wine in the Green Zone is of unknown origin, and the price is twice as expensive as in normal countries.

This is war.

A nightmare for ordinary people and a paradise for careerists.

Song Heping: "The cook hasn't gotten up yet?"

Gray Wolf looked back at the container house and nodded: "Well, he also drank too much."

Then he said to Song Heping: "You drank so much last night and you were able to get up so early. You have a good drinking capacity."

Song Heping stole the show last night.

He became famous in one battle.

In the mercenary circle, scandals spread thousands of miles, as do good things.

During the overpass battle, many people in Bakda's mercenary circle now knew that there was a newcomer from China who was very skilled. He successfully saved the VIP at the most critical moment on his first mission.

Reputation is worth.

Personal reputation can also increase the price of the team.

The cook was very happy.

So last night I opened six bottles of whiskey and treated everyone to a shot of tequila.

Deliberately building momentum is actually advertising, telling everyone - if there is a job, come to us, we are very strong, and our team is full of talented people!
Song Heping saw it and felt that it was not easy to be a cook.

Who says that only domestic people need to toast, foreigners also need to toast.

Thomas came last night too.

Song Heping was very grateful to Thomas.

It was he who recommended him to join the chef's team, and he finally had a way to make money.

So I took the initiative to toast a few glasses of wine.

It's just that the latter's face doesn't look good, and he has lost his previous enthusiasm. He doesn't know whether it's because he's not going well at work or because he's eating the wrong thing or because he's acclimatized and has diarrhea.

In Yili Ge, many people were not accustomed to the local environment, so he didn't think much about it.

"Are you still alive today?"

Song Heping still remembered what Gray Wolf said before.

He and the cook are "unorganized" lonely ghosts, free mercenaries.

If there is work, earn money; if there is no work, just wait.

Three times make you poorer, and five times make you richer.

No wonder the cook said don’t save money and enjoy yourself now.

Gray Wolf shook his head: "I haven't heard of any work yet. Let's see what the cook has planned when he wakes up."

The cook is the core of the team.

Song Heping finally understood.

Why are the Gray Wolf Guards paratroopers willing to follow a cook with no service experience and be his subordinates?

Let the white bear or gray wolf be the leader, and the whole team will really have to drink from the northwest wind.

"We only took Angel's order for one day?"

Song Heping still misses the days of ten thousand dollars a day.

So beautiful.

If I had such good work every day, I would be able to achieve my small goal within half a year.

Gray Wolf said: "Now the 'Mad Dog' team and ISF (Irigo Security Force) are taking over her security work. There is nothing left for us to do."

Then he laughed and said, "Do you think a small team like ours can earn $10,000 a day every day?"

Song Heping said, "Then I'll wash my face and go to the weapons store."

Gray Wolf was stunned: "What are you doing there?"

Song Heping said: "I'm going to buy a scope for my gun and replenish some ammunition."

Gray Wolf once again felt a little impressed by Song Heping.

This guy is not stingy.

At first everyone thought this guy from China was stingy. He couldn't bear to buy a bottle of wine even with a thousand dollars. The cook paid for it last night.

Today I actually said I would buy a scope.

For his AKM, the cheapest 1P29 white light scope, including installation and modifications, costs five hundred dollars here, which is half of the money he earned yesterday.

Looking at it this way, he doesn't look like a stingy guy.

Song Heping left the camp, first went to McDonald's in the Green Zone to buy a big burger and a Coke, and then went straight to the weapons store.

Harvey was in the store and ignored Song Heping when he saw him. He was busy with his work.

"See what you want, tell me when you're ready."

"I want a 1P29 scope. Boss, do you have it here?"

1P29 is a 4x white light sight designed and manufactured by the former Soviet Union. It is universally applicable to all types of Soviet-made firearms, even machine guns such as PKM. It is considered a classic Soviet-made sight, and its function is similar to the ACOG sight of the US Army.

Although it is not advanced, it is durable and relatively cheap.

"Have."

Without thinking, Harvey turned around to get one and placed it in front of Song Heping.

"Second-hand?"

Obviously, the white light sight in Song Heping's hand was not brand new, it was obvious from above.

"What? You want a brand new one? Yes."

Harvey turned around and took out another 1P29 scope and placed it in front of Song Heping.

"This is $700, this is $300, and the modification fee is $300."

Harvey quoted a price, and Song Heping felt a pang of pain. He then looked at the new scope, then at the used one.

White light scopes are not easily damaged, unlike more precise holographic or red dot scopes. The 1P29 scope has a physical reticle inside, which can be used as long as it is not damaged.

"How long has this been used secondhand?"

Song Heping looked at the old 1P29 and saw that the paint had been worn away from the corners, and couldn't help but ask.

Harvey said: "You ask me? I don't know either? Just ask it and let it tell you. Anyway, these are all recycled by me. I only see if they can be used, regardless of how long they have been used. You can buy them if you like. If you don’t buy it, get out of here!”

He was not willing to spend more energy taking care of a novice like Song Heping who didn't have much money in his pocket.

Recycle?

After hearing this, Song Heping couldn't help but put the scope under his nostrils and smell it, as if he could really smell the smell of blood.

I don’t know which former Iraqi soldier or former mercenary was recovered from the body. I’m afraid the original owner is long gone.

One is new and one is old, both are more than double the price.

And it requires a little modification, and the modification fee is not cheap.

The old AKMs produced in Romania do not have dovetail grooves, but the new ones do. Song Heping's is an old model and you need to install dovetail grooves yourself.

But the processing fee actually costs 300 US dollars...

Robbery!
It’s so profitable to run a gun shop!
If I buy a brand new one, I will have to spend a thousand dollars on it, and I will have no money left to buy bullets.

He suspected Harvey of killing the newcomer and regretted not calling Gray Wolf.

"Boss, I want this..."

Song Heping handed the new one back to Harvey and kept the old one.

"Humph!"

Harvey snorted coldly, as if to prove that he was not wrong about the person.

A poor guy is a poor guy.

"The modification cost $300, a total of $600."

Song Heping felt a pang of pain again.

This is 600 US dollars, which, when converted into RMB, is an ordinary person’s annual salary in my hometown.

"Boss, if I modify it myself, can you charge me a lower price? Just take some material damage compensation."

Song Heping tried to bargain.

Harvey snorted again when he heard it.

Because the modification requires riveting a dovetail base on the left side of the trigger guard of this old AKM gun body to adapt to the 1P29 scope.

This requires disassembling the entire gun, drilling holes on it to fix it, and the position of the holes must be very precise.

This is a technical job.

The dovetail groove is already outdated compared to the Picatinny rail, and has problems such as being easy to loosen. If not handled properly, the gun will be directly ruined.

Harvey suddenly felt like playing a prank.

Isn't it just to save the labor costs of modification?

Let’s see how capable you are!
He remembered that the Chinese boy in front of him was a novice and had little money on him.

I came here yesterday to buy a set of individual equipment. After much bargaining, I only spent a little over two thousand dollars.

A newbie, just him?
Modify the gun?

Do you think you are so capable?

If the changes are scrapped, just watch him cry!

If it is scrapped, won’t I have to buy another AKM from myself?

Thinking of this, Harvey, who had been calculating like crazy, suddenly became generous and said, "Okay, you can modify it yourself. I won't charge you for damages. I'll just charge you $1 for this 29P300."

"real?!"

Song Heping was overjoyed.

It was morning and there were few customers in the store.

There were only two or three mercenaries picking things up.

Harvey was also happy to have some fun.

Several other people heard the noise and came over to watch Song Heping.

Everyone was waiting to see the joke.

"The equipment is over there, go and modify it yourself."

Harvey pointed to the small lathe in the corner and gave a warning.

"Don't damage my equipment. You'll have to pay for it if you do!"

"Row!"

Song Heping excitedly ran to a corner of the store with his AKM assault rifle, looked at the small lathe and tools, then skillfully disassembled the gun into eight pieces and started working on the lathe.

Harvey and several other mercenaries couldn't help but go over to watch.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned.

This……

It is said that experts know the ins and outs of things.

Harvey regretted it as soon as he saw Song Heping's operation method.

Damn, this is a veteran!

From positioning to drilling, it is extremely precise.

Quick eyes, steady hands, and calm demeanor.

be cheated!
Harvey frowned distressedly.

I was actually taken advantage of.

Soon, Song Heping's AKM was modified. He inserted the 1P29 scope, pulled it, and felt that it was stable. He raised the gun and aimed outside again, checked the reticle and battery holder again, and after making sure there was no problem, he took out three hundred dollars and handed it to Harvey.

"Boss, $300. Oh, and I also want a base number of bullets."

Song Heping was very happy.

He really didn't think Harvey would agree to let him modify it.

Save a lot of money!
Just as I got the bullet, I heard the sound of Gray Wolf coming from the door.

"Sang! Come on! We have a new job!"

Song Heping looked back and saw that it was indeed a gray wolf.

The latter had an excited expression on his face as if he had won a million-dollar prize, and Song Heping knew at a glance that something good was going to happen.
