MTL - Wasteland Commander-Chapter 131 Here comes the money giver
Chapter 131 The money giver is here
Huacheng Iron and Steel Group.
Looking at the third floor of the North Army Headquarters.
There are many cars parked in the parking lot downstairs.
Most of these vehicles are modified civilian off-road vehicles. Protective steel plates are added to the body, barbed wire is installed on the windows, and even crash corners are added to the front.
The engines inside have all been modified. The end of the world is coming, and safety and performance are the priority.
These cars belong to the leaders or deputy leaders of each survivor alliance.
They came at the invitation of Wangbei Army to discuss matters against the Dawn Army.
There is a conference table indoors, which is long and covered with tablecloth and artificial flowers. In the last days, this condition is considered good.
Zhang Zhijian of Wangbei Army is speaking at the moment.
“Everyone, everyone must have understood the situation of the Dawn Army. I have called you here today because I want to advance and retreat together with everyone, put pressure on the Dawn Army, and ask them to return our weapons and equipment.”
The person who came from the Burning Legion was Wang Dashan. He tapped his fingers on the table: "Did the Dawn Army really kill 300,000 zombies? Why don't I really believe it?"
Zhang Xiaofei, who was sitting next to Zhang Zhijian, said: "Da Shan, you must have seen the city of Dawn Army. With their city defense, as long as there are a few thousand people guarding it, it doesn't seem difficult to kill 300,000 zombies. After all, zombies are so powerful." If something has no intelligence, it is not a living target.”
Many of the people who came this time had been to Shuguang City, and they all nodded in agreement.
From this point of view, it seems that it is not that difficult for the Dawn Army to kill 300,000 zombies.
They could not imagine how terrifying the zombie hordes under Wang Huining's command really were.
They couldn't even imagine how ferocious the zombies and crawlers were.
Zhang Xiaofei's words made their fear subside slightly.
Zhang Zhijian asked Zhang Xiaofei: "In your opinion, what should we do now?"
Zhang Xiaofei stood up: "The Dawn Army can rely on their city to eliminate zombies, so even if we attack their city, we will probably get a **** head, so I suggest that we agree to their conditions for the time being."
Zhang Zhijian shook his head: "Wouldn't that increase their prestige?"
"No, Second Chief, this is just a temporary measure. The main thing is to get our weapons back first and then find an opportunity to deal with them."
Zhang Zhijian frowned slightly: "Five hundred kilograms of gold, the alliance can't get that much now."
Zhang Xiaofei smiled slightly: "Everyone remembers gold, but maybe you have forgotten that the Dawn Army was talking about gold, silver and jewelry, not just gold."
“But we don’t have any jewelry either.”
“We don’t have it, someone else has it.”
Zhang Xiaofei said to Zhang Zhijian: "Across the Shenlong River to the north, we are in Haishanwei of the Rakshasa people. That place was originally a port city, specializing in the jewelry and diamond business. The cities of the Rakshasa people are different from ours in Qin and Han Dynasties. The place is big but the people are very small. few."
"I heard that in order to resume military production, Rakshasa also ransacked two jewelry stores and collected a lot of diamonds, but they could only use part of it. If the second leader told them to get dozens of kilograms of diamonds, It shouldn’t be difficult.”
Zhang Zhijian's eyes widened: "You think diamonds are just cabbage, and they weigh dozens of kilograms."
Before Zhang Xiaofei could answer, Wang Dashan from the Burning Army spoke up: "Second leader, don't shirk it. None of us have gold now. If you have this way, just help everyone."
People from other factions also spoke one after another.
One of the forces is called the Detachment of Women, and its leader is Wang Juan, who is a very rare female power evolver.
She was originally an amateur weightlifter. After this evolution, her strength even surpassed that of ordinary male evolvers.
He is 1.79 meters tall and has thick arms like a bodybuilder.
She established this women's army to take in girls in the name of the post-apocalyptic world where girls are easily bullied.
Of course there are men too, but in the Women’s Army, girls occupy a dominant position.
But this women’s army is actually not clean either. Wang Juan has many secret transactions with other forces, and her bargaining chip is often women.
Wang Juan said to Zhang Zhijian: "Brother Zhang, you have to help me this time. Our Women's Army is weak. The last time we gave the 100 kilograms of gold to the Shuguang Army, we handed over all our own jewelry, but we have no ability to collect it again." It’s gold and silver.”
"If we still hope to get those guns back, it all depends on you, Brother Zhang."
As he spoke, he deliberately winked at Zhang Zhijian, which made Zhang Zhijian feel nauseous.
But he still did not agree easily, always feeling that he had lost face.
Zhang Xiaofei spoke again: "Second leader, as the saying goes, a man can bend and stretch, but this is only temporary. I believe that the Shuguang Army will not be able to survive for two months."
“Oh, why do you say that? They have a fortified city to defend. Can our firepower destroy them?”
“Hehe, second leader, think about it, what if we can get tanks from Rakshasa? Can Dawn City still be defended?”
Zhang Zhijian waved his hand: "But if Rakshasa has tanks, at least we can't get them now. We don't even have a large transport ship. These armored vehicles are all barely obtained."
"Although we don't have a big boat, please don't forget, leader, winter is coming soon."
Several people were stunned and suddenly realized something.
“Winter is coming, the Shenlong River is frozen, and this winter seems to be very cold. Tanks can walk on the river. By then, we can buy whatever weapons we want from Rakshasa.”
“If that doesn’t work, we can even invite the Rakshasa people to join us in the battle in Flower City.”
Zhang Xiaofei talked eloquently in front of people: "Isn't the Shuguang Army powerful? Let him defeat the six families of our alliance plus the Rakshasa people. This should be called... the ice and snow, the seven ruthless families."
Wang Dashan of the Burning Army also nodded immediately: "Xiao Fei said it well, the seven ruthless enemies, let's see if Ye Fan will live with him?"
Zhang Zhijian was finally persuaded by Zhang Xiaofei.
This is doable.
"Okay, I can give it a try, but I have to ask the Dawn Army if they agree."
Zhang Xiaofei quickly turned on the radio and began to negotiate with Shuguang Army on the radio.
Soon both parties reached a consensus.
The Survivor Alliance paid the Dawn Army 220 kilograms of gold, and the remaining gold was discounted in diamond jewelry.
But on this issue, Ye Fan killed them again.
If gold still has some value in the end of the world, then many jewelry will have no value.
For example, pearls, such as rubies.
Other than looking good, it doesn’t have much effect.
So Ye Fan bargained unceremoniously, keeping the price of jewelry very low.
Zhang Zhijian also agreed. The Rakshasa people do have more jewelry. As long as they pay more for steel, they should be able to get a lot back.
The deal was reached and Zhang Zhijian set off.
He wanted to go to the Rakshasa himself and talk to Rikov, the Rakshasa man.
************
After reaching an agreement with the Survivor Alliance, Ye Fan was in a state of excitement.
This time because there were a lot of jewels, I believe the total value of the money exchanged in the end would exceed the value of 500 kilograms of gold.
At that time, power plants and airports can be included in the production sequence.
In the past few days, the Shuguang Army has also ushered in a peak period of recruiting people.
After learning that the Dawn Army had wiped out 300,000 zombies and that the Survivor Alliance had to bow its head, many surrounding survivors left their homes and came towards Dawn City.
The logistics affairs suddenly became busy.
After a great battle in the outer city, the land riddled with holes quickly began to be leveled.
Fortunately, the main street has been preserved. Along the main street, infrastructure on the left and right has been developed rapidly.
Ye Fan doesn't even have time to go out to hunt zombies, because winter is coming soon. Once it freezes, the ground will be solid and construction will be impossible. He can only do his best to get some things done before winter comes.
The entire army personally joined the construction team at this time.
Ye Fan added an engineer platoon for this purpose to improve production efficiency.
Every day, there are huge changes in the outer city.
Temporary mobile houses have been built one after another, and streets have been rapidly repaired.
Even the city walls in the outer city were included in the construction scope.
This city wall is taller and longer than the city wall in the main city.
According to Ye Fan's plan, the urban battlefield area in the outer city area reached 16 kilometers.
It is twice as many as the main urban area plus the core area.
The construction of this city wall is a key project.
Ye Fan required that the city wall construction in the outer city area need to be eight meters high and four meters wide.
Make sure that vehicles can drive up the city wall.
Of course such a large project cannot be completed in a short time. Now we need to lay the foundation.
As long as the four-meter width is guaranteed, the building can be built as high as it needs to be.
Even if the building is three meters high, it can withstand a wave of zombies.
The whole Shuguang City is in a state of excitement as the construction deadline and progress are scrambled.
After the new survivors were registered, they immediately started working on the construction.
Ye Fan walked with a few guards on the construction site.
“Sir, the Survivor Alliance has sent out a message. They will be here today and tomorrow.”
Shen Ruihui reported the news to Ye Fan.
“Oh, have they collected enough gold and silver?”
“Collect enough, many of them are diamonds and jewels.”
Shen Ruihui said a little proudly: "They can't do it if they don't collect it. This batch of weapons is nothing to us in the Dawn Army. It is just family property to them. How can we live on these weapons?"
Ye Fan smiled: "I'm afraid these people don't have good intentions either. After getting the weapons, they will have some unnecessary thoughts."
Shen Ruihui didn't care: "Sir, we are overly worried. The Survivor Alliance is not in our eyes at all. We only hope that the Northern Army has a little strength, and the other Burning Army is not a concern."
"Oh, by the way, there is also a women's army. Can a group of women also make waves? Sir, here can be a big cannon. If they dare to come, sir can teach them how to behave with a puff of a cannon."
Ye Fan's eyelids twitched twice, turned around and said to Shen Ruihui: "Platoon Commander Shen seems to be very idle."
"Sir, if there is a shortage of manpower for work somewhere, I will be on standby at any time." Shen Ruihui was not deterred.
Ye Fan nodded: "Now Xiaoba needs to be fed, you go do it. Remember that Xiaoba likes to chew slowly, and the cooking class specially kneaded some steamed buns for him, so you can feed him one by one, two meals a day. That’s enough once.”
"Haha! This job is so easy. Sir, you really take good care of me. I'll go right away."
Shen Ruihui had just left when several jeeps appeared on the horizon in the distance.
The Survivors Alliance has arrived.
