Chapter 1369: Chapter 1,352: Anything is Possible

Gao Yang was momentarily dazed, then he solemnly said, "Medium-range surface-to-surface missiles? Ukraine doesn’t have medium-range surface-to-surface missiles. According to the US-Soviet Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, Ukraine can’t possibly have medium-range missiles."

Kofupake shrugged and said, "Maybe I didn’t explain it clearly. When I say surface-to-surface missiles, I mean short to medium-range missiles with a range of over five hundred kilometers but less than one thousand kilometers. As for those with a range of over one thousand kilometers but less than five thousand kilometers, those aren’t available."

Gao Yang shook his head and said deeply, "No, there aren’t short to medium-range surface-to-surface missiles with a range over five hundred kilometers either, as those fall under the destruction requirements 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 some surface-to-surface missiles with a range of over five hundred kilometers in some warehouse. There’s no mistake about it. I don’t know where, but I know there are. My superior told me so. He said if there are any treaties, the missiles still exist."

Gao Yang rubbed his chin and after a moment 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 me."

Li Jinfang was somewhat dazed as he said, "Medium-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 medium-range. As far as I know, Ukraine’s medium-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 medium-range missiles from Eastern Europe. After the Soviet Union collapsed, Ukraine destroyed its missiles under America’s supervision, unless, unless..."

Gao Yang curiously asked, "Unless what?"

Eileen shrugged helplessly and said, "Unless the Soviet Union dismantled their medium-range missiles but didn’t destroy them or didn’t have time to move them from Ukraine. In that case, there could be medium-range missiles that have officially disappeared but are stored somewhere. 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 someone 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 mean 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 mention if missiles stored for decades can still be used; even if they can, who would you sell medium-range missiles to? Tanks and artillery are one thing, but if you dare to sell medium-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 medium-range ballistic missiles? Are you courting death?"

Gao Yang helplessly said, "Understand the spirit! Understand what I mean! I’m just discussing whether medium-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 me to meet your boss?"

Kofupake pondered for a moment 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 meet 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 me a good way out. If all goes well, I’ll soon leave and can’t help you out anymore. Remember, there’s no end to making money. Your friends can send me off, and they can send you off too. Just know when to stop. I’ll wait for you in America."

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, "Come to my place, but I need to deal with Lame 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 Lame 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 me talk to Lame Azaro? Please, let me negotiate with him!"

Gao Yang snapped his fingers and smiled, "This time, you’re the boss, and I’m the bodyguard. We’ll go with Shava." (To be continued.
