Chapter 266 The loopholes in the regulatory system

21days ago Urban Novels 5
Logically speaking, there are many customers in the international community who are urgently in need of buying large quantities of arms. It should not be difficult for Far Eastern Gang to sell this batch of arms.

For example: the Sri Lankan LTTE organization that is provoking civil war; the Iraqi Saddam regime that suffered heavy losses in the Gulf War; Lebanon and Syria, which are eager to expand their military strength under Israel's military pressure, etc.

However, these big clients who often had local wars had close contact with the Soviet government during the Cold War, and no one could tell whether there were secret agents of the KGB lurking inside them.

If the Far East Gang uses these sales channels to sell large quantities of arms, it is very likely that it will be targeted by the Moscow intelligence agencies.

Just when Nikolayev was frowning in search of arms sales, Andrev made a suggestion to him to go to South America to find a buyer.

Andrev has worked in South American intelligence station for many years and is familiar with the situation here. He knows that there has been constant wars in Colombia, Mexico, Peru and other regions in South America, and there is a great demand for arms and weapons.

For half a century, Colombia has always been one of the most intense regions in the world. Colombian government forces, anti-government guerrillas on the left, paramilitary organizations on the right, and various drug trafficking groups have been attacking each other.

In armed conflicts among various factions, kidnapping of hostages, smuggling drugs, launching terrorist attacks on civilians, etc. are commonplace things

Since the 1980s, Peru's glorious road organization has risen rapidly, and its leader, Avimael Guzman, will overthrow the Lima government and establish the working class dictatorship as its goal

Now, the Peruvian government forces are encircling and suppressing the guerrilla armed forces on the Glorious Road, and the two sides are fighting fiercely.

After coming to South America, Andrev used the intelligence network run by the KGB in the past to collect information from major drug trafficking groups and guerrillas, looking for suitable transaction targets. Soon an Asian drug lord caught his attention.

Paul Ann became famous in the underground world of South America in less than a year. He defeated five other drug trafficking groups and became the underworld overlord of the Sao Paulo region.

At the same time, he also runs oil companies and fund companies, which are said to be worth billions of dollars.

The mafia organizations in the Far East and the Yamaguchi group in Japan have long-term business cooperation. They colluded with each other to smuggle and smuggle Japanese household appliances and other products to Russia to make huge profits.

Andlev used this relationship to find the branch of Yamaguchi Group in Brazil, Kurashimaki, and sent messages to the Morio organization through Yano Shun, and contacted Li Zai'an.

After hearing the other party talk about the whole story, Li Zaian thought for a while. As far as I know, the Soviet Union had very strict supervision of arms trade. What can you do to smuggle weapons out of the country?

Mr. Paul, if it was in the former Soviet Union, the arms business was definitely not something that people like us dared to touch. As long as they were caught by the Security Committee, it would be a dead end. Andrev patiently explained that the Military Trade Bureau under the Soviet Ministry of Defense was specifically responsible for the foreign trade of military products. Only they could obtain export indicators from the Ministry of Defense and the Military Industry Committee.

But the situation is completely different now. Hehe, the various strict domestic regulatory systems have been in name only. We can bypass the supervision of the Ministry of National Defense and transport the goods out in the name of the Far East Military Region. The waybill says mechanical products exported to Brazil.

Isn't anyone checking the exported goods? Customs, Pacific Fleet, Border Guards and Security Committee, can you settle them all? What if someone investigates this? Li Zaian raised his question

If you want to make an arms trade, it is not something that can be successful with just a source of goods. There are also many other issues that need to be considered.

For example: Will the Pacific Fleet search cargo ships carrying weapons?

Will the safety committee people intervene?

What is the attitude of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

If these problems are not solved, Li Zaian will not dare to interfere in this business

Andlev explained to him: We have the approval letter from the Military Region Command, and the exported materials are all military-shaped. Therefore, when entering and leaving the country, the customs has no right to unbox and inspect them. However, the inspection and defense of the Pacific Fleet and the inspection and sales of the border defense army are all responsible for supervising the import and export of military materials. If we want to do business, we still need to find ways to settle the Pacific Fleet and the border defense army system.

There is no need to worry about the Russian Pacific Fleet. Their current situation is not much better than the Far East Military Region. Due to the lack of military funding, the entire fleet is now paralyzed, including regular cruises and daily maintenance. They have all stopped. Even if they want to go out to patrol, they are powerless.

At present, the main energy of the Moscow government is focused on the split republics, arguing about the division of assets and debts. Andlev said that the national finances are about to go bankrupt, and the government cannot afford to maintain the naval fleet's pitiful funds, which is subsidized to the Black Sea Fleet at the first time. This Pacific Fleet in the Far East is simply a stepmother, let alone the maintenance of ships. I heard that naval soldiers have not received wages for several months.

Speaking of this, Andrev smiled mysteriously: A few days ago, someone was selling several cargo ships in Vladivostok. I sent someone to check it out. The real seller of the ship was the Pacific Fleet Equipment Department. Now, in order to make money, these soldiers dare to take out anything. They planned to sell the Pacific Fleet's ocean freighter as waste materials.

Hehe, I understand what you mean. It seems that life is not easy for the Pacific Fleet. When I heard the sound of the piano, Li Zaian nodded understandingly and said, "If that's the case, I will pay a high price to buy the ship. Just use the money to feed the generals of the Pacific Fleet. When smuggling arms, it will be difficult to turn a blind eye.

Mr. Paul, that's what I plan. After buying these naval cargo ships, we two jointly established a shipping company and used these cargo ships to smuggle arms. As long as we are willing to pay a high price to poach people, some people on the navy are willing to serve us. After the goods are out of the sea, no one will come to investigate. Andrev smiled proudly.

As for the border defense system, it is easier to solve. Andlev turned his hand and poured a glass of wine for Li Zaian. In the past two years, the political situation in Moscow has been chaotic, and the big guys above are busy fighting for power and profit. No one pays attention to border areas like the Far East. It is said that some people in the border defense are secretly smuggling business.

In fact, it’s not their fault. The problem of low treatment of border guards has long existed. Andlev couldn’t help but sigh when he said this. Perhaps thinking about his experience as a boatman, even the main force of the army could not get military pay, not to mention the miscellaneous troops like the border guards. As far as I know, a lieutenant’s monthly salary is only two or three hundred rubles, and ordinary soldiers need to mention such a low salary. Faced with the current high prices, how can everyone support their families?

In Andlev's view, the current discipline of the border defense system is corrupt and soldiers and officers are lawless. The reasons are always inseparable from a few: poor treatment, low status, lack of supervision, and there are a few places where they are placed for a long time, and it is strange that there will be no problems.

As long as you use money to open up the border guards, it is no difficulty to transport weapons out of the border

But after all, the regulatory authorities that pose the greatest threat to us are not the Pacific Fleet or the border guards, but the 12th Division of the Security Committee. They not only have special inspection teams in the army, but also have inspection departments overseas, such as Cuba, Iran and other countries that often maintain trade relations with the Soviet Union. In short, the 12th Division of the Security Committee regulates domestic arms trade. No matter how subtle the final period can escape the eyes of this secret service agency

Speaking of this, Andrev smiled gloatingly and continued: But now we don’t have to worry about their threats. A week ago, all the people from the 12th Division of the Far East had been removed. It is said that Moscow had removed the supreme leader of the Security Committee, and Mr. Bakatin took office as chairman of the Security Committee. His first order was to revoke a large number of spy agencies, including the 12th Division.

This guy, Bakatin, is a government bureaucrat and is completely an amateur in intelligence work. He only knows that the 12th Division is a spy agency, but he doesn't know that it still shoulders some other special functions. Now there is no interference from the 12th Division, and our plan will be implemented without a big obstacle.

Andrev himself was a KGB agent, and he still has a very good understanding of the twelfth section of the Security Committee.

As far as he knows, the most basic function of this spy department is to be responsible for the monitoring of the whole nation: monitoring telephones, monitoring telegrams, monitoring radio signals, etc.

In addition, the 12th Department’s amateur job is to investigate major economic cases, such as embezzlement of state funds, illegal foreign exchange speculation, large-scale illegal smuggling, leakage of state secrets, stealing military information, etc.

Now, as soon as the new boss of the Security Committee came to power, the first thing he did was to withdraw the 12th place. Now, the army was secretly engaged in arms trade and no one was going to supervise it. Li Zai'an and others can safely open up channels for arms trade

Haha, Mr. Bakakin is such a good person. Let's give him a glass of wine together. Li Zai'an raised his glass and quipped with a smile

Li Zaian and others were drinking and chatting. After counting it down, they found that the border inspection system in the Far East was full of loopholes, and the business of smuggling arms was really possible!

But then again, in today's Russia, it is not just the Far East Military Region that has problems. If you count it carefully, you will find that there is no problem in the entire Russia from top to bottom, from east to west?

No wonder the Soviet Union, a giant superpower, went from strength to destruction in just seventy years.

When problems arise in the country, no one considers how to save the national destiny. Political elites are busy fighting for power and snatching food from their own plates

So, the fate of this country is equivalent to coming to an end
