Chapter 2885 An Eyesore

The war in the Arctic failed, and the life of the Security Zone became even more difficult. In order to support the Arctic attack. The Security Zone plundered a lot of resources and sent them to the front line. Now that it has failed, all the ships and supplies have been sunk into the sea. The life of the Security Zone is stretched to the limit.

"We really have to find a way to exchange some food, otherwise people will starve to death." The invaders of the Fire Nation are now worried about food. Although similar situations have occurred in the Security Zone before, they have not been so serious. Now there are more and more Security Zones that are short of food.

Soldiers also need to eat, what should they do?

If you are lucky, you can trade some arms and ammunition, or military supplies such as military uniforms and socks with the locals. If there is really nothing, then go to the local big households to eat and drink, even if you are beaten, it is better than starving to death.

The invaders also need to eat. The Fire Nation is now working hard to attack Yonggu City and capture the young supernatural power. They don’t have so much energy to care about the lives of the soldiers in the Security Zone. They can only find a way out for themselves.

So if you want to have enough food, you have to be bolder. Trading arms is a good way. Now the princess takes the lead and tries to contact the guerrillas through the security zone to transport the Fire Nation's arms. In this way, the princess can make money, the military industry can make money, the security zone can also eat, and the guerrillas have better weapons, and everyone is happy.

"So this deal can be done, you should believe me, we are classmates." The princess's envoy said to the colonel of the local security army. He is the princess's lobbyist and specializes in persuading the colonel to export weapons to the guerrillas. Because the guerrillas in this area are the most fierce.

This place is a port of the Earth Power Country and one of the ports for the Fire Nation to march into Yonggu City. However, because it is not the most important, there is a lot of work and not much supplies, and life is hard. Because the garrison is not strong, many opponents gather nearby to form guerrillas to attack the Fire Nation's supply line.

The colonel looked at his classmate. He had listened to the other party's plan very calmly. He thought he would be very angry. After all, this was selling out the interests of the Fire Nation, but in the end he just said that he had to exchange food to avoid starving people to death. The colonel realized that the situation in the Fire Nation had deteriorated to a certain extent, and their security forces could only rely on themselves.

If the soldiers could not eat, they would mutiny, and then they would be finished. In fact, the colonel knew very well that many of his men had already sold their weapons, and he turned a blind eye. If a mutiny really happened, he would definitely die the most miserably.

"Is this really supported by the princess behind the scenes?" The colonel was still not sure.

"Of course, it is the princess who supports it behind the scenes. She understands the difficulties of the soldiers on the front line, especially you security forces, who are stationed abroad all year round and have difficult conditions, so she wants to improve your lives. And the arsenal has orders, and there is money to develop new weapons, right?" The classmate talked freely, saying that this arms trade is very good.

It sounds really good, but the colonel couldn't help but say: "But if we sell arms to guerrillas, what if they use the weapons of the Fire Nation to fight back against us?"

"If they don't have the weapons of the Fire Nation, can you resist them with an empty stomach?" The classmate asked back.

The colonel was silent. The fighting power and fighting will of his soldiers were getting weaker and weaker. What could they do even if they had weapons in the end?

"Has the Fire Nation really reached this point?" The colonel was also one of the beneficiaries of military expansion. He was just a farmer before. He learned firebending at school and participated in the war. He was promoted after making military achievements under the wise general a few years ago. He loves his country and is willing to sacrifice his life, but the current situation cannot be solved by sacrificing his life.

"Her Highness is looking for a new way out. Don't worry. The princess has a comprehensive plan. Even if the Fire Nation fails in military expansion, it can still make money from other countries. This is the princess's ability." The classmates firmly believe in the princess because they can eat meat by following the princess.

The princess gave her subordinates the opportunity to make achievements, which made everyone support the princess more and hope that one day the princess would recognize talents and give them opportunities. This is the influence of giving the opportunity to attack Yonggu City to others. Although the princess did not get the credit for Yonggu City, her reputation among firebenders soared, and she also gained more support. More firebenders with no way out hope to join the princess's camp.

Seeing that the colonel had not made up his mind, the classmate continued, "We can trust the princess completely. She is a kind princess, more talented than her brother, and more capable of leading the Fire Nation out of the downturn. You can witness it, or you can participate, but the results will be completely different. Don't miss the opportunity."

The colonel was still struggling. After all, he was selling weapons to the enemy, but on the other hand, could he win with the weapons? Obviously not. If the weapons could keep the Fire Nation winning, the Fire Nation would have unified the world by now, and would not be so embarrassed.

"Okay, I'll join you."

With the support of the colonel in the security zone, transportation and trading went smoothly. The guerrillas got weapons and equipment, and even medicines, and they only needed to provide some funds and food.

In the end, a secret trading place was opened directly, specifically for the invaders and guerrillas to trade, and everyone got what they needed.

Of course, it is not just one security zone, but many security zones. The princess sells arms through various means. The people of the Fire Nation naturally know what the princess is doing, but the military factory supports the princess, and the soldiers of the security zone support the princess. For a time, everyone acquiesced, and no one dared to challenge these two interest groups.

After the princess received the first batch of funds, she immediately developed volcanic ash and then transported it to the Earth Kingdom. The Earth Kingdom is the country with the largest territory and the most developed agriculture. It provides more than half of the world's agricultural products, especially cabbage, which is sold all over the world.

The Air and Water Tribe live in the mountains, the Water Tribe lives in the North and South Poles, and the Fire Nation is on the volcanic islands. None of them have a large area of ​​farmland. Therefore, many agricultural products have to be imported from the Earth Kingdom. Therefore, the Earth Kingdom has been the leader for a long time, and even a military powerhouse who expanded military power has appeared, but in the end, due to the intervention of the magic power, he fell to death.

Volcanic ash is a fertilizer, which has a market in the Earth Kingdom, so there is another income.

The princess's influence began to increase, and she had a tendency to compete with her father, the Fire King. If you have money, people will naturally come to serve the princess. Money is like a brazier, and those talents are moths that fly into the fire.

The princess is very successful, but her fear of Duran has also deepened, because Duran knows too much, and if Duran's wisdom is used by others one day, she will be very passive. In addition, someone is fanning the flames in the princess's ears, so the princess's attitude towards Duran has become subtle.

If Duran is not killed, others will not be able to become the princess's most trusted person, so three people make a tiger. The first person said that Duran would betray, and the princess did not believe it, but the second person also said so, and the third person also said so, three people make a tiger, and the princess had to doubt Duran.

This is a power struggle. Even if the princess believes in Duran, if everyone around her says that Duran will betray, then the princess has to believe it.

Duran's role is not very big now. Other talents can also complete the work, but they may not be as clean as Duran. There is nothing wrong with their ability, but their own interests are prioritized, not the interests of the princess.
