Chapter 72 Li Hao, it has to be made in China!
In 2025, the streets of Shanghai are bustling with people at dusk, and the lights hanging from the shops are flashing.
The young couple nestled together, whispering to each other, their heads close together, while the laughter of children filled the air, creating a scene of happiness and peace.
Chen Huai'an walked down the street, his eyes scanning the signs on both sides.
Every now and then, he would glance down at the map navigation on his phone.
When the direction is wrong, it will stop and spin in circles.
After several twists and turns, we finally stopped in front of a shop.
The green sign reads: Veteran Military Supplies Store.
"This is the place!"
My main task tonight is to buy things at the military surplus store.
Deep down, he preferred to wait for Lin Wan to arrive so they could shop at the military surplus store together.
However, there are cameras in military surplus stores, and more importantly, it is a highly sensitive industry.
If something happens and the surveillance footage leads to suspicion against Lin Wan, that would be troublesome.
Lin Wan is an unregistered resident; she doesn't have an ID card!
That's why I came alone for safety reasons.
Even if we assume that something really goes wrong someday, the investigation should focus on him alone.
With a little smoothing out of connections, he'll only be detained for a few days at most before being released.
Chen Huai'an turned off his phone's navigation and stepped into the shop.
In an instant, all sorts of camouflage uniforms came into view.
Above the wall, there were helmets and bulletproof vests.
Although they are not cheap, they look to be of good quality.
Compared to those online, this one looks much better in terms of fabric quality.
A man in his thirties with a buzz cut was sitting in a chair smoking and scrolling through his phone. He immediately stood up to greet someone as they entered.
"What would you like to buy, bro? We guarantee everything is 100% authentic!"
Those who are allowed to open and operate a business have all the legal permits and proper receipts for their goods.
Chen Huai'an asked with a smile, "Are you Boss Li?"
The crew-cut man paused, then asked, "You know me?"
"Feng Chaoyang, Brother Feng introduced me here." Chen Huai'an didn't beat around the bush and directly stated that he was introduced by an acquaintance.
To avoid treating him like a stranger, making it inconvenient to talk and do things with him.
"Old Feng's friend is my friend, and all items in our store are 20% off! May I ask your surname, brother?" Li Hao suddenly realized and enthusiastically extended his right hand.
The practiced movements were not surprising; it was clear that Feng Chaoyang had introduced many team members to buy equipment here.
Chen Huai'an reached out and shook his hand, nodding in acknowledgment: "My surname is Chen, Chen Huai'an."
"Brother Chen, is there anything you'd like to buy? Or... a bulletproof vest? Old Feng's friends all buy those when they come to my place!" Li Hao paused slightly, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.
With his skilled demeanor, he has received many team members.
Otherwise, why would they immediately ask if he was buying a bulletproof vest upon hearing that he was Feng Chaoyang's friend?
Besides proactively inquiring about sales, it's also a way of testing the waters.
They wanted to see how the other party would respond in order to deduce whether or not Feng Chaoyang had introduced them.
If it's a sting operation, then it'll hurt!
There are explicit regulations that there are no restrictions on civilian bulletproof vests, but it is illegal to sell legitimate military bulletproof vests to individuals.
Although there will be no criminal liability, a fine is unavoidable.
If the other person doesn't respond to this topic, you should doubt the truthfulness of what they say.
Chen Huai'an lifted the corner of a camouflage training uniform and gently rubbed the fabric in his hand.
It must be said that the training uniforms purchased through official channels are of significantly higher quality than those sold online for 9.9 yuan with free shipping.
He said with a smile, "I heard from Brother Feng that everyone in his team is buying 'Dragon Scale Armor' from Brother Li's shop. I was curious, so I came to take a look."
This answer finally hit the mark.
Only those who know him well know that the teams that Feng Chaoyang plays shooting games all buy their equipment from his shop.
He also obtained some items that were prohibited from the market through other procedures.
At least on paper, no irregularities can be found.
Who doesn't have connections to open a military surplus store?
The items that Feng Chaoyang and his friends bought were all registered under the name of a security company.
If you're not someone I know well, I wouldn't know at all.
Moreover, Li Hao had known Lao Feng for two years and knew some of his background.
He won't be investigated and implicated for something as trivial as buying a bulletproof vest.
So this young man in front of him must be Feng Chaoyang's friend, someone who genuinely introduced him to buy things.
Li Hao guessed in his heart that it must be a new member of the team!
He smiled and said, "If you want the 'Dragon Scale Armor,' I can get it for you through special channels. It's $5500 a set, and I guarantee it's 100% authentic, just like the ones worn by American soldiers!"
However, if you want a helmet, those are banned in China; they can only provide you with a civilian one.
The voice was very frank, stating directly whether the products were genuine military supplies or not, without any intention of passing off inferior goods as superior ones.
The price of a single piece of "Dragon Scale Armor" on the market is $5000.
The $500 premium is his profit.
After all, to legally acquire this thing, you'd need to bribe the security company.
Otherwise, why would anyone help?
They were all introduced by friends, and I must have known about them beforehand, so there's no need to try to fool me.
If you try to rip people off, you'll offend them and ruin your reputation, and no one will recommend you to their friends anymore.
Chen Huai'an listened to the quote and remained noncommittal, finding it exactly the same as what he had previously learned.
However, the owner's honest and fair attitude towards everyone made people think more highly of him.
He shook his head and said, "I won't buy the 'Dragon Scale Armor'."
Before the other person could speak, he continued to explain with a smile.
"The Dragonscale Armor is just hype from the US military; it sounds impressive."
The truly powerful bulletproof vests are still made in China.
NIJ Level 3 body armor is not only plentiful and plentiful, but also much cheaper.
Even the bulletproof vests used on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield were exported by us.
If you want something practical, domestic brands are definitely the best choice!
If it's just about showing off, you might as well buy a cheap imitation online.
Although Chen Huai'an was not an expert in military affairs, he was good at verifying information.
I had already compared the famous American "Dragonscale Armor" with the domestically produced NIJ Level 3 bulletproof vest.
The dragon scale armor is expensive; a complete set, including the inserts, weighs over 20 kilograms!
The NIJ Level 3 body armor offers excellent value for money and can protect against 7.62 caliber rifle fire.
According to a true account from the Iraq War in 2006, a British soldier was hit by 12 rifle bullets while wearing a Chinese-made Level 3 bulletproof vest.
Not only did he successfully block all the bullets, but he also only suffered a minor blunt force injury.
After being shot, he struggled to his feet again.
This is sufficient proof that domestically produced bulletproof vests have strong defensive capabilities.
If you had a weapon from the Republic of China era that could withstand the firing of a submachine gun, wouldn't that be a piece of cake?
At that time, PLA soldiers wearing NIJ-3 bulletproof vests will bravely charge forward and confront the Kuomintang reactionaries head-on in the Paramount Building.
One side was wearing a Level 3 bulletproof vest, while the other side only had a thin layer of cloth clothing.
The outcome is self-evident.
Purchasing domestically produced Level 3 bulletproof vests was Chen Huai'an's way of preparing a powerful weapon for the assault team soldiers during the liberation of Shanghai!
P.S.: We recommend soliciting submissions.
Opinions were solicited on how to obtain weapons for the Korean War, national construction after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the lives of the people without leaving the country.
Although the author already has ideas, they still hope to draw on everyone's thoughts to find better solutions to these sensitive issues.
