Global Arms Market
Chapter 483:Global Arms Market
At a time when a large number of Americans are discussing the future of science and technology groups, Fan Yize, as far away as Mogadishu, is waiting for the arrival of guests.
The attack on Mogadishu met people who were of interest to Fan Yize, who were part of the African arms traffickers.
Because of the civil war in Somalia, it naturally attracted a large number of arms dealers around the world, these arms dealers in order to better expand the market, supervision of arms sales, some personally live in Mogadishu, some sent a special representative stationed in Mogadishu, and some happened to come to Mogadishu in the past few days, did not have time to leave.
These arms dealers, without exception, became prisoners of the Red Guards.
For these international arms dealers, Fan Yize did not do anything to them, but let the tigers take care of these arms dealers together.
Most of these active arms dealers in the world can be described as infamous, and most of the arms dealers are admitted to the people, and no matter what kind of bad consequences they will come from the weapons they sell.
As long as you have money, even in the heart of Africa, even if you want a missile, you will bring it to you.
Of course, not everyone can afford the goods of these arms dealers, and some of the arms dealers are sold entirely to customers.
This arms dealer is the arms dealer secretly supported by all countries, these arms dealers sell weapons and equipment are relatively high-end, in general, man-portable anti-aircraft missiles to anti-tank missiles, as well as a variety of light and heavy weapons, can be sold.
If allowed, tanks and small warships can be sold, not only for money, but also for political background and willingness to accept political conditions.
Some of the arms dealers active in Mogadishu are second to arms dealers, but no country is really interested in Somalia because of the political environment in Somalia and the general difficulty of mining resources.
Coupled with the armed forces inside Somalia, there is not so much money to buy advanced weapons and equipment, so it is still a simple AK-47 and RPG is the most popular.
Mosquitoes are also meat, and the consumption of weapons and ammunition by continuous firefight is still a small market.
According to the latest global international arms market last year, the total transaction volume successfully completed last year reached 300 billion US dollars.
The United States alone has officially authorized arms exports, which have reached hundreds of billions of dollars and are exported to hundreds of countries around the world.
In second place is Russia, with a total annual arms export of 80 billion US dollars last year, but the export countries are mainly British India and some countries in Russia mainly based on Russian series of equipment.
Moreover, there is a large amount of obvious information to predict that the international arms market will be more prosperous and large in the next few years.
This is mainly due to the deterioration of the international security situation, and the self-poversure mentality of all countries has given birth to the demand for arms purchases.
Of course, the total trade volume of the arms trade is not so simple.
First of all, the upgrading of armaments in the region will have a huge chain reaction, and it will be difficult for competitors to "take the brakes" once they catch up with each other.
The strengthening of armaments has led to a sense of insecurity on both sides, and even if there is no war, the dance gun stick will always make the regional atmosphere poor.Once military spending is sufficient, the risk of capitulial behavior in individual countries increases.
The increasing arms imports from the Gulf States and other countries have exacerbated regional conflicts.
Many countries, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, also plan to buy more and more advanced weapons from the United States and other countries, strengthen their armed forces, and set off a regional arms race.
In addition, some non-traditional military-industrial countries have also targeted a lucrative arms trade, especially after discovering that large players such as the United States and Russia regard arms exports as a dividend of economic growth, which further leads to regional instability.
Taking Japan, which has recently come to the fore, as an example, after Abe came to power, through the three principles of disarming arms exports, it gave a green light to the international market for Japanese arms, and Japanese companies, including Mitsubishi Corporation, had great potential for arms production.Abe mainly promoted the arms industry, hoping to release the military market to boost the domestic economy.
Saudi Arabia, the buyer, decided to build a military industry in the country and produce transport aircraft for its own needs within two years.
India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, has vowed to turn 70 percent of its military into “Made in India” over the next decade.
Either way, however, the global flow of large arms itself adds a volatile element to the international situation.
The aforementioned arms market is really only a small part of the international arms trade.
Arms purchases are not just an economic burden for many countries, but also a political burden.
Arms transactions, especially advanced weapons and equipment, will inevitably have political strings attached, which also makes it impossible for most countries in the world to buy their favorite weapons and equipment.
Another is the astonishing profit of the arms trade, in fact, the United States sold 100 billion dollars of arms last year, but the production cost of these arms, not even one-fifth of the sale price, and even more profitable, coupled with some political conditions.
This is also why countries are increasingly concerned about arms markets.
If you buy weapons and equipment on the black market, the first one is the money and goods, and the other is that there is no need to agree to political conditions.
Therefore, last year, the share of the global arms market reached 300 billion US dollars, and the profit was more than 200 billion US dollars, but in fact, last year's arms market, its profit was as high as 500 billion US dollars, and the total transaction value is less than 700 billion US dollars.
Especially the Middle East market and the African market, where hundreds of arms merchants around the world are active, no one has a share, and the huge market cake is divided.
Fan Yize naturally also looked at the huge cake of the global arms market, although he thought he was not short of money, but he needed this market.
He wanted to know the inside of the global arms trade, to see through the direction of the global arms market, and even to the source and route of every arms deal.
The future military resources company itself is a military sales business, and the military operations against Somali rebels are a good advertisement.
But in the future, if the military resources company wants to quickly own its own global arms market, it cannot step by step, and needs to find some agents who already have a good reputation internationally, such agents have their own sales channels and familiar buyers.
Therefore, Fan Yize also focused on these arms traffickers active in the war zone, and he believed that he would definitely get what he wanted in the hands of these people.
