Gao Yang was montarily dazed, then he solemnly said, "dium-range surface-to-surface missiles? Ukraine doesn’t have dium-range surface-to-surface missiles. According to the US-Soviet Interdiate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, Ukraine can’t possibly have dium-range missiles."
Kofupake shrugged and said, "Maybe I didn’t explain it clearly. When I say surface-to-surface missiles, I an short to dium-range missiles with a range of over five hundred kiloters but less than one thousand kiloters. As for those with a range of over one thousand kiloters but less than five thousand kiloters, those aren’t available."
Gao Yang shook his head and said deeply, "No, there aren’t short to dium-range surface-to-surface missiles with a range over five hundred kiloters either, as those fall under the destruction requirents of the treaty."
Kofupake shook his head and said deeply, "No, there definitely are. Although Ukraine’s weapons list doesn’t have them, I’m sure there are so surface-to-surface missiles with a range of over five hundred kiloters in so warehouse. There’s no mistake about it. I don’t know where, but I know there are. My superior told so. He said if there are any treaties, the missiles still exist."
Gao Yang rubbed his chin and after a mont of silence, said to Kofupake, "Sorry, I need to have a word with my people."
Turning around, Gao Yang spoke in English to Eileen and Li Jinfang, "You two, this is quite a shock to ."
Li Jinfang was sowhat dazed as he said, "dium-range surface-to-surface missiles? Wouldn’t those be ballistic missiles? What ballistic missiles does Ukraine have?"
Gao Yang frowned and said, "Tochka, that’s the only one I know of. But the Tochka missile is short-range, not dium-range. As far as I know, Ukraine’s dium-range missiles have all been destroyed."
Eileen said deeply, "He’s either bluffing or made a slip of the tongue. After the US-Soviet treaty was signed, the Soviet Union withdrew its dium-range missiles from Eastern Europe. After the Soviet Union collapsed, Ukraine destroyed its missiles under Arica’s supervision, unless, unless..."
Gao Yang curiously asked, "Unless what?"
Eileen shrugged helplessly and said, "Unless the Soviet Union dismantled their dium-range missiles but didn’t destroy them or didn’t have ti to move them from Ukraine. In that case, there could be dium-range missiles that have officially disappeared but are stored sowhere. We all know Ukraine was the Soviet Union’s design and manufacturing center. It’s not surprising if they have missiles, and it’s entirely possible soone might have intentionally kept them."
Gao Yang frowned and said, "Isn’t that quite unlikely?"
Eileen smirked and said, "Unlikely? Boss, Ukraine lost hundreds of nuclear warheads. If they can lose nuclear warheads, what’s so unacceptable about losing a few missile sets?"
Gao Yang nodded and said, "Indeed, if they dare to lose nuclear warheads, actually I an sell. Well, if they dare sell nuclear warheads, then there’s really nothing they wouldn’t dare to sell. Hmm, do you think we could sell surface-to-surface missiles?"
Eileen exhaled and said, "Boss, are you crazy? We won’t even ntion if missiles stored for decades can still be used; even if they can, who would you sell dium-range missiles to? Tanks and artillery are one thing, but if you dare to sell dium-range missiles, several countries might be after you in a heartbeat, believe it or not."
Li Jinfang also said seriously, "Brother, can you not stir up trouble? Just stick to the small stuff honestly. Selling dium-range ballistic missiles? Are you courting death?"
Gao Yang helplessly said, "Understand the spirit! Understand what I an! I’m just discussing whether dium-range surface-to-surface missiles can be sold; did I say we’re doing it ourselves? It’s just a discussion, alright, look how you’re scared."
After disdainfully waving his hand, Gao Yang turned back to Kofupake with a smile and said, "Okay, let’s set aside the surface-to-surface missiles. What about planes? Are there any planes?"
Kofupake frowned and said, "I’ve heard that planes can also be sold, but they’re not easy to handle. There are too many complications, and it’s really not easy to handle. Well, it’s easier to get tanks, helicopters, and armored vehicles, though. We have Mi-24s and Mi-8s. Basically, any plane the army aviation has, you have a chance to get. As for tanks, there are T-84s and T-64s. I only know the basics about them; I can’t give you detailed information. If you want to know more, you’ll have to speak with our General."
Gao Yang clapped his hands and smiled, "Great, when can you arrange for to et your boss?"
Kofupake pondered for a mont and said deeply, "How about this, tomorrow I want to arrange for my family to leave. In the afternoon, I’ll first introduce you to my colleague who handles transportation. If everything goes well, we’ll start shipping things out tomorrow night. After you’ve moved the first batch, I’ll take you to et my boss, and then I’ll leave Ukraine. You’ll handle the rest with my boss, how about that?"
Smooth and straightforward, that’s how Gao Yang liked to operate. He clapped his hands and reached out to Kofupake with a smile, saying, "It’s settled then."
After shaking hands with Gao Yang, Kofupake stood up and said deeply, "I need to head back, I’ll go prepare right away. Shava, wait for my call tomorrow."
Shava hugged Kofupake and said deeply, "Brother, take care and drive safe."
Kofupake nodded seriously and said deeply to Shava, "My brother, you’ve given a good way out. If all goes well, I’ll soon leave and can’t help you out anymore. Rember, there’s no end to making money. Your friends can send off, and they can send you off too. Just know when to stop. I’ll wait for you in Arica."
Shava handed the briefcase full of money to Kofupake and smiled, "Got it, I know. We’ll talk again later; you should hurry back."
Kofupake turned to Gao Yang and after shaking hands with him again, said deeply, "Good luck, see you tomorrow."
After watching Kofupake leave, Shava rotated his neck, then smiled and said, "Alright, guys, we should be heading out too."
Gao Yang smiled and said, "Everything’s going well, I suddenly feel like having a drink to celebrate."
Shava smiled and said, "Co to my place, but I need to deal with La Azaro right away, so I won’t be able to drink with you. You can have a few drinks at my place, and when I return, your collection will have a few more items."
Gao Yang frowned and said, "You’re going to see La Azaro tonight?"
Shava shrugged and said, "Yeah, right now. I don’t like to drag things out. Since we’ll be busy soon, why not deal with it quickly?"
Gao Yang looked at Eileen and Li Jinfang and smiled, "Shall we tag along?"
Eileen eagerly said, "Boss, could you let talk to La Azaro? Please, let negotiate with him!"
Gao Yang snapped his fingers and smiled, "This ti, you’re the boss, and I’m the bodyguard. We’ll go with Shava." (To be continued.
