Ultimate Firepower

People are meant to grow.

Things that Feng Biao didn’t know before, he knows now, and likewise for principles he didn’t understand, he grasps some of it — not much, but indeed some.

For instance, the trade of military arms isn’t something that you can simply buy if you want to buy, or sell if you want to sell.

Some weapons, no matter how much money you offer, cannot be sold by others, like Russia’s Baiyang Missile, the Tu-160 Bomber, and also the Typhoon-class Nuclear Submarine. Even when Russia was impoverished, they didn’t sell these items.

These strategic weapons are the cornerstone of a superpower; if they were to proliferate worldwide, could the great powers still be considered great?

In the same vein, the United States hasn’t sold the F-22 Fighter to date, and it’s even less likely they’d sell the B-2 Bomber, not to mention nuclear submarines are out of the question.

What they do sell are the monkey models with reduced capabilities; the aircraft and tanks that the Soviet Union used to sell to other countries were such monkey models, meaning they were a notch inferior to the weapons they used themselves, looked like the real deal but weren’t quite it, hence the name.

However, as one of the two superpowers back then, the United States was actually more conscientious when selling arms. Their weapons largely maintained their original performance, but as a result, they were much more expensive than the Soviet models.

But all this is digressing; the crux is, arms trading isn’t just about buying and selling rifles, ammunition, and Hand Grenades.

Selling military arms requires the green light from the nation; clearly, you can’t sell to hostile countries, and conversely, hostile countries won’t be willing to buy either.
