Hong Changqing shed a cheeky smile and asked Charlie, “Master Wade, do you think my subordinates will ever get the chance to learn the deeper teachings of ‘Taizhen Hunyuan Dao’?”
Charlie raised his eyebrows and grinned. “The reason I’m sharing this knowledge is to gauge your cultivation mindset. If it falls short, I’ll provide you with something better; if it’s iplete, I’ll offer a moreprehensive version. I’ve always been a bit selfish, so now that we’re at this point, it’s time for you to do some self-reflection over the next couple of days.”
Feeling a mix of shame and regret, Hong Changqing responded earnestly, “Master Wade, please rest assured. If I, Hong Changqing, ever have any disloyal thoughts towards you, I deserve to die without a proper burial!”<fnc7dd> Original content can be found at Find~Novel</fnc7dd>
Meanwhile, in Eastern Europe…
Three container trucks raced along the highway in Antalya, a bustling port city in Turkey.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
The cargo of these trucksprised three disassembled AK360 close-in anti-aircraft guns from the former Soviet Union, along with their apanying ammunition.
Since the Soviet Union’s copse, Turkey, Ukraine, and Georgia have emerged as key yers in Eastern Europe’s ck arms market.
In the wake of the Soviet Union’s disintegration and the significant changes across Eastern Europe, nearly all Mediterranean-adjacent countries have turned into hotbeds for arms trading, with these three nations standing out prominently.
From these countries, hundreds of millions of Soviet-era weapons and equipment are sold globally. What’s remarkable is not only the vast volume of transactions but also the fact that, if you have the money, you can purchase nearly any weaponry here—except for strategic nuclear missiles and fifth-generation aircraft.
When ites to close-in defense guns produced during the Soviet era, as long as the price is right, even the raw materials for nuclear weapons can be acquired in these locales.
Among these nations, Turkey is particrly known for its notorious nuclear ck market. After the disassembly of nuclear submarine reactors from the former Soviet Union, a significant amount of their core fuel rods found their way onto this ck market.
With sufficient funds, obtaining a few kilograms of enriched uranium is not a daunting task here, allowing one to potentially craft their own bomb at home.
Thus, the transaction of three close-in defense guns is merely an ordinary urrence in this environment.
A group of Eastern European arms dealers escorted the three container trucks to the port of Antalya, where a container ship awaitedpletion of its loading.
Upon entering the port, the trucks were promptly directed to the designated berth of the container ship.
Three Americans had been waiting by the berth for quite some time. As soon as they spotted the trucks arriving, they rushed forward to meet with the individual responsible for overseeing the escort of the vehicles.
