Chapter 202 Calling in Seems to Be a Good Idea
"These people may not live past 40."
Lin Jun shook his head as he watched the butter go away.
He swept his eyes across the scene.
Most of the oil carriers were shirtless, with cloth wrapped around their mouths and noses. Some of the cloth had even fallen off, leaving them completely black.
There were a few who had just finished their meals.
In the lunch boxes, there were only vegetable leaves, no meat or fish.
As for the staple food, there were only some steamed buns, not even white rice.
White rice was only for the guards and stewards.
"It's really pitiful."
Lin Jun sighed, "It's obviously a dynasty with 400 million people occupying the entire planet, with abundant resources, but they have never thought about taking care of the lower-class people."
"Well, there's no need to be sad. When the coalition forces completely liberate this place and build professional oil extraction facilities, they will naturally be able to rescue everyone." His companion Wilson patted him on the shoulder.
"In the feudal era, ordinary people could not enjoy good things. These workers had no choice but to fight for their lives in order to make money and support their families."
"And they are already good. Have you forgotten the village we passed by a few days ago?"
"That was really miserable!"
Lin Jun also remembered that village.
If the farmers in the village grow food, most of the taxes will be collected by Black Dragon City, many of which are not collected by the Italian court, but by the city lord privately.
"The productivity is not rich enough, and the officials are exploiting at all levels. It is a blessing to be able to survive."
Wilson said.
Lin Jun sighed, his eyes showing reluctance: "I understand the truth, but I feel a little sorry for these people."
The two spoke in Chinese.
The manager of the business was very tactful and did not interrupt. After he finished speaking, he led the way in front and said: "Where are the two guests from? It doesn't sound like the accent of Black Dragon City."
"We are from Beizhou. "Lin Jun spoke in a clumsy Italian: "The manager should know that the North Continent is cold and needs oil for lighting and heating."
"I see."
The manager smiled and said, "Our company often receives customers from the North Continent. That place is indeed very cold and people come here to buy and sell oil all year round."
"That's right."
The few of them talked for a while, then took a carriage and walked for more than half an hour, and finally arrived at a huge warehouse.
The manager pushed open the warehouse.
There were rows and rows of huge oil barrels made of wood.
The warehouse was pitch black.
"Excuse me, guests. Fire is prohibited in the warehouse, so it looks a bit dark."
While speaking, the manager took out a small bead from his sleeve and injected true energy into it.
Then the bead shone brightly, illuminating the surroundings.
"This is a spiritual bead. As long as spiritual energy is injected, it can emit a soft light. It will not be destroyed until it is used a hundred times. It is also a common lighting device for people like us. "
While explaining, the manager led several people to the edge of a huge wooden barrel.
There were several switches similar to faucets on the barrel.
"Get the oil."
Immediately, a guard of the company came forward, holding a small pottery jar and turned on the faucet.
A stream of black oil flowed out from the switch, and soon filled the pottery jar.
The manager then asked someone to take the pottery jar out of the warehouse, and after instructing the guard to lock the warehouse door, he handed the pottery jar to the two people in the open space.
Lin Jun took the pottery jar and observed it carefully in the sunlight.
The manager of the company smiled and said, "The quality of our company's oil is absolutely superior. It is one of the best oils in the whole Black Dragon City. You two can check it out."
Lin Jun took a look and nodded, "It is indeed a good oil. "
He poured out a little.
The crude oil was thin, dark brown, and slowly flowed out, giving off a strong smell.
On the other side, Wilson, an oil expert from the United States, saw this and his eyes lit up.
"The oil fields here produce only low-sulfur light crude oil, which is perfect!"
"Once refined, the yields of gasoline, diesel, civilian fuel, and aviation fuel are very high. It is a top-grade crude oil that countless oil refining industries on the earth are eager to get."
The two spoke in Chinese.
Although the manager didn't understand, he could understand.
"How is it? I wonder if this oil can meet your requirements?"
"Good quality."
Lin Jun praised: "One hundred thousand catties, not a catty less! Buy it all!"
"Good!"
The manager immediately responded: "In that case, please follow me to the store to sign the contract, press your fingerprints, and pay the deposit."
"Let's go! "
The two followed.
After bargaining with the owner of the business, the two sides finally reached a deal and signed a contract.
That day.
The two drove the carriage, took away some samples, and went to the camp.
"It has been confirmed that Black Dragon City has abundant oil reserves, and they are all top-quality low-sulfur light crude oil."
Lu He personally greeted Lin Jun and Wilson.
When the two entered the camp, they immediately took out the relevant test reports and unloaded the crude oil from the carriage.
When the commanders of various countries saw it, their eyes lit up.
"It is indeed top-quality crude oil. Send troops quickly to take down this city."
Bauer was extremely excited, and the desire for oil hidden in his genes had been completely ignited.
"60 billion barrels, such a huge reserve. Once the mining is completed, the coalition forces will no longer have to worry about fuel."
"That's right."
"Let's discuss the battle plan."
"What kind of battle plan do we need? Launch the army, attack directly, and defeat them in one battle!"
Lu He was also very excited.
Black gold, oil, is the most indispensable substance in modern industry.
Now it is finally confirmed that Black Dragon City has such huge oil reserves, and it is also very convenient to exploit the highest quality crude oil.
It was with great difficulty that he suppressed the excitement in his heart.
"After all, this is a war. I can understand your feelings, but we still need to make a good battle plan to avoid any surprises."
"There are several cities on the road to Black Dragon City, and the official road can be marched. According to the advice given by the staff, we first captured Breaking the Boundary City, and then sent 30,000 people directly to Black Dragon City, and the army followed up. ”
"Strive to defeat all places in one fell swoop within three days!"
"What do you think?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone immediately agreed.
Immediately the army set out for battle.
The soldiers in the Boundary-Breaking City were already frightened. After several rounds of artillery bombardment, the soldiers were so frightened that they ran away with their heads in their hands.
The general guarding the city wanted to launch an attack, but was captured directly by the giant ape king.
In just over an hour, Boundary Breaking City declared its fall.
All the defeated troops in the city surrendered.
Several generals in the magic realm had no intention of resisting. They knew they couldn't run away or fight, so they honestly accepted their fate.
Then the army attacked the city and took out the stronghold.
Drive all the way towards Black Dragon City.
The few small cities on the road showed little resistance and were defeated directly.
Two days later.
Driving a chariot, the 30,000-strong army finally arrived outside Black Dragon City after a bumpy journey.
Artillery, rocket troops, and various arms have been deployed.
Helicopters flew over Black Dragon City and dropped various leaflets persuading them to surrender in Italian languages.
An overwhelming amount of leaflets fell from the sky.
Chaos arose in the city.
"It's over. The rumors are indeed not groundless. I didn't expect that the foreign army really came to attack."
Butterman picked up a leaflet.
I saw a paragraph written in the most straightforward language on the flyer.
"Dear fellow citizens, we are the teachers of justice. We are here to liberate all the poor people in the world. We will not take a stitch from the masses. The soldiers and civilians in the city will close their doors and windows tightly and surrender without killing. After the city is broken, each person will be given a bag of candy and a piece of cotton cloth. Zhang, fifty kilograms of rice, one bag of refined salt, one bucket of vegetable oil, thirty kilograms of flour, and ten kilograms of pork. Anyone, male or female, young or old, can receive it.
When he saw the words on it, Butterman's heart started pounding.
The salary he received after working for a month could not buy so many things.
"Sugar, cloth, rice, salt, oil, flour, meat."
"There are six people in my family including my parents, wives, and children."
Buttersheng calculated it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.
"Oh my god! How many things do you need?"
"Are these foreigners really that generous?"
Believe it or not, the butterman immediately stuffed the flyer into his arms and ran towards the city gate.
However, the city gate has long been under martial law.
Soldiers patrolled the city, collecting leaflets.
"Don't believe what's on these papers. It's all the enemy's nonsense. It's all false."
The soldiers yelled and grabbed the flyers immediately.
The situation in front of them had already been clearly seen by the defenders outside the city using drones.
"Professor, can we proceed to the next step?"
Kong Ji was sitting in the army. When he heard the commander's question, he waved and said, "Let's get started."
Give an order.
Immediately, hundreds of helicopters were ready and took off.
The cabin is filled with various kinds of scattered rice, flour, sugar and oil.
Finally, it was filled to the brim, flew over Black Dragon City, and directly dropped a large amount of supplies in the air.
This moment.
It rained heavily in Black Dragon City.
The residents of the city took to the streets to loot, and even the soldiers themselves couldn't help but reach out.
A packet of fruit candies happened to fall next to Buttersheng.
This kind of fruit candy is the cheapest hard candy in the supermarket. It is colorful and has various flavors. You can buy a big bag for ten yuan.
But in Black Dragon City, it is the ultimate enjoyment.
The fruit candy fell to the ground.
The text on the package has been erased, and the word "candy" is written on it in Italian characters.
The buttered man immediately picked it up with quick eyesight and quick hands.
"Such a beautiful thing is actually candy?"
When no one is paying attention.
Butternut managed to bite open one and stuffed it into his mouth.
Immediately your mouth is filled with the aroma of orange.
Sweet and delicious.
The taste buds seem to be exploding.
My whole body can't help but be immersed in this sweet orange scent!
“So delicious!“
"It's really candy. I'm afraid even the boss of the Chamber of Commerce has never enjoyed this delicious taste!"
"I'm going to take this bag of candy back and give it to the calf."
She is always thirsty and bitter, and her mouth is completely occupied by the sweetness, making her whole person feel extremely happy.
And in the city.
There are many others like him.
People were holding bread, big white steamed buns, fresh pork, or refined salt in their hands, and they all hid them immediately.
The entire Black Dragon City was in complete chaos, and residents could be seen everywhere picking up supplies.
Some soldiers at the bottom couldn't hold on and joined in picking up supplies.
"If it's true as it says on paper, it seems like a good idea for foreigners to come in!"
