My girlfriend is from 1949

In China, firearms are a very serious matter!

If a citizen illegally possesses a military firearm or a gunpowder-powered non-military firearm, it constitutes a crime.

Possessing two or more air guns can lead to criminal charges, generally punishable by up to three years in prison, but serious offenses can result in sentences of three to seven years or even longer.

The standards for judging firearms are also extremely strict.

A gun is classified as a firearm if its muzzle kinetic energy is ≥1.8 joules per square centimeter.

This standard is far below the international mainstream level, and many air guns and toy guns that exceed the standard may still be identified as real guns.

It's not uncommon for people to be arrested and sentenced for using something like a toy gun.

So, illegally possessing firearms in China means you'll end up working as a sewing machine operator.

It was under such high pressure that a nationwide gun ban was achieved.

Every now and then, citizens will unexpectedly discover guns in their homes and then voluntarily hand them over.

In the past, any machine in a factory could be used to make gunpowder guns by hand, but that has now been completely eliminated.

How strict is China's gun control?

If you have a homemade shotgun, and the news leaks out, SWAT officers will be at your door with guns in no time.

Then they presented him with a silver bracelet and invited him inside to eat at the official's restaurant.

Instead, they carry an AK47 assault rifle or a large-caliber sniper rifle like a Barrett and walk openly on the street.

They might even walk right past the police without asking a single question.

Because nobody would believe that anyone would dare to walk around the streets carrying a real, standard-issue weapon!

So when Lao Ba heard that he was going to get standard-issue weapons, his eyes widened in shock.

Their gazes toward Chen Huai'an were filled with awe and fear.

A person who dares to possess standard-issue weapons without authorization is beyond terrifying.

If such a person were to make a public outburst, it would inevitably be a shocking case.

And they're asking for millions of automatic rifles right off the bat—is this the start of an armed rebellion?

If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't bear to give up my own interests, I would have used the excuse that my dad was getting married for the second time today and that I had to rush back to Beijing to run away!

Li Hao's reaction was much calmer.

Aside from the initial surprise, I wasn't afraid.

Because the person sitting opposite him was a section chief from the National Security Bureau!

Discussing arms deals in front of national security personnel is not a crime; it's cooperating with the investigation and is considered meritorious service!

After it's all done, you'll even get a banner of appreciation!

He just didn't know what Guoan's attitude was.

Is it a case of cooperating with the fishing, or handing over the conversation?

Li Hao kept glancing at Director Zhou across from him out of the corner of his eye.

Although it was done very discreetly, it was still discovered by Chen Huai'an who was standing next to him.

However, he didn't expose her; he just pretended to drink, smiled, and remained silent.

Zhou Liming also picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

She seemed completely oblivious to the gaze directed at her by Li Hao.

It's not that he's slow-witted; someone who can rise to the position of Director of the National Security Bureau wouldn't make such a basic mistake.

It was precisely because she sensed the questioning gaze that she understood the meaning Chen Huai'an was conveying.

That's why they pretend to be outsiders, acting as if they know nothing.

It's not that I don't want to reply, it's that I can't reply!

After all, the recent oil transaction has already proven that he is an official.

Their identities were practically an open secret.

If you want to buy weapons, just tell yourself.

At that time, the National Security Bureau will act as a facilitator, and it's acceptable to either contact Poly Group or directly the Ministry of National Defense.

If the analysis is correct, then the other side is a huge arms market.

Moreover, it is a huge market that can be monopolized through generational differences and generate huge profits.

How could the country refuse?

Instead of talking to him, Chen Huai'an called over Li Hao, with whom he had previously crossed paths.

They even told him to get the country's standard weapons.

This is equivalent to indirectly informing Zhou Liming through his conversation with Li Hao: I know your identities!

Isn't this just wanting to buy weapons but not wanting to confront the issue directly, keeping that paper window closed?

Ultimately, they still harbored reservations and were unwilling to become puppets who had lost their freedom.

If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have the right to negotiate with the state at all.

But Chen Huai'an's unique abilities are his greatest source of confidence.

Therefore, they always used the company's name to conduct transactions, and the other party had no choice but to cooperate.

Seeing that Zhou Liming did not respond, Li Hao became extremely anxious.

They blinked so many times it was almost like they were sending a telegram.

If Chen Huai'an hadn't been there, he would have been so anxious that he almost blurted out the question directly.

But gradually, they realized what was going on.

"No response means you want me to keep acting?!"

Li Hao guessed the other party's intentions and felt more confident.

If it were elsewhere, discussing with someone how to buy guns, or even standard-issue weapons.

They must be feeling very panicked, thinking they are doing something evil.

But in front of the director of the National Security Bureau, the nature of the situation is different; that is, evil turning into good!

He turned and smiled, "Mr. Chen, how about you name a price and quantity first?"

Seeing that the other party had taken the bait, Chen Huai'an smiled.

"The export price of 56 kilos was as low as $70, which is about 500 yuan."

Prices are fluctuating now. I'll put it at $100 per piece, which is 676 yuan at today's exchange rate.

To round it up, one 56mm gun costs 700 yuan, and you'll get an extra 100 rounds of ammunition.

"For the first batch, we'll buy two million of each of the Type 56 automatic and Type 56 semi-automatic rifles!"

56式冲锋鎗使用7.62×39mm步枪弹，国内合法民用/靶场实弹射击成本约每发1.5～3元。

军用批量生产成本每发0.8～1.5元，海外民间市场零售价约0.6～1.2美元约4～9元。

Chen Huai'an's offer is reasonable.

Although the price of the gun was inflated, it still came to around 700 yuan including 100 bullets, so no one lost out.

The reason I bought the gun first was also due to a deep-seated obsession.

After going to the Republic of China era, I saw the various types of military equipment used by the soldiers and realized how difficult it was to make a living.

Now that there's an opportunity to uniformly replace our weapons with domestically made ones, we naturally want to buy them.

Moreover, although this gun was designed decades ago, its superior performance makes it a favorite in African countries even today.

A unique overhead shooting method; once all the bullets are fired, it's game over!

Although it is an obsolete weapon in modern China, it was the most advanced rifle in the Republic of China era.

Lin Wan sat up straight and added, "The Type 56 rifle has been discontinued, but the production line must still be well preserved. Why don't you sell it to us as well, so we don't have to buy bullets every time?"

His voice was casual, yet he immediately offered to buy the bullet production line!

In the future, the new China will be able to produce its own bullets and will no longer need to transport them.

Although the Type 56 rifle has ceased production, the production line has certainly been preserved intact, adhering to the principle of being prepared for any eventuality.

In the event of a third world war in the future, it can be used in the most critical situation.

If someone wants to buy it now, the higher-ups will definitely be willing to sell it.

Yang Yongli listened in stunned silence, cold sweat already streaming down his forehead.

It was as if I had heard a huge secret; I was so scared that I clenched my toes.

"These two are going crazy. They're not going to kill me, are they?"
