District 9

One day later, Yemen.

Lao Mao, Lao Li and others started the second round of negotiations with the local forces headed by the Independent Democratic Party.

Some bumps were encountered during the negotiation process. For example, the Independent Democratic Party proposed that they were only responsible for providing the Gu Yan Corps with a certain military activity area, as well as some airports, ports and other military bases, but they did not participate in any military games, let alone help. fight.

This condition is also understandable, because the combat effectiveness of Yemen's local political army may be even worse than that of the Tengba army, and it is even less organized. Therefore, whether it is the first European region or the three major regions, they cannot afford to offend them. I don’t want to get involved too much and step too deeply.

In addition to being restricted in their area of ​​activity, the Independent Democratic Party also proposed that they do not want money, only arms and scarce supplies, because money has little practical significance to them. Their first priority is to solve the problem of armaments and energy. Only with these things can the army continue to grow.

To this end, the Independent Democratic Party, on behalf of the local forces, made a very detailed "offer" to Lao Mao and the others, which included gasoline, coal, various firearms, armaments, medicine, and dozens of other scarce resources. The amount was staggering. It's a bit like a lion opening its mouth.

Where there is an offer, there must be a counter-offer. With years of deception skills, Lao Mao squeezed out a certain amount of supplies and then chatted with Ni Lai alone, claiming that his side had mastered an oil and gas field of up to 1 billion barrels in the fourth area. If the two parties could further cooperate, In the future, the three major regions will support Yemen with at least 50 million barrels of crude oil.

This condition made Nilai very tempted. Lao Mao was afraid that he would not believe it, so he showed him some information about Rogge and assured him that he was currently in the three major districts. With this foreshadowing, the relationship between the two parties has heated up again.

But in fact, Nilai didn’t know that the so-called 1 billion barrels of crude oil was still a piece of cake. So far, Rogge has not compromised or relented despite Zhao Baobao's persuasion, so Lao Mao is trying to impress Brother Heihei.

…

Some people may be wondering why the three major regions have invested so many resources in Yemen. What is the purpose?

In fact, the reason for doing this is the same as the intention of the United States to establish military bases around the world before the Christian era. The three major regions are too far away from the fourth region, more than 20,000 kilometers away. For this long journey, it is definitely unrealistic to just rely on planes to transport war preparation supplies, and it will not be able to reach the place in one flight. Just relying on warships and ships to travel, by the time they entered the battlefield, the grass on Meng Xi and Tengba's graves might have been five meters high.

Therefore, the three major regions need a military springboard that can be used as a dive midway to connect the interior of the three major regions with the battlefield of the fourth region. To put it bluntly, it means spending a lot of money to rent a temporary strategic base in Yemen. Although this base is very dilapidated and backward, it is at least better than nothing.

Fortunately, Yemen is very poor, so the negotiations can go so smoothly. If there were no war issues in the fourth region, Europe's first and third regions might not pay attention to this place for decades.

After the negotiations made progress, Laomao immediately reported to Qin Yu, and China Capital, controlled by Wu Di and Ye Lin, also immediately began to allocate supplies and prepare to pay leasing fees to the local forces in Yemen.

…

Within the Draken Mountains in Area 4.

Meng Xi had already joined the main force of the Tengba Army yesterday. He had just received information from Qin Yu on the Yemeni side and learned that the negotiations had progressed.

Inside the tent.

Meng Xi looked at the information and frowned.

In fact, ever since Coco told him the plan, Meng Xi had a very bold plan in mind, but he had never found a suitable breakthrough point. Now the negotiations in Yemen are going relatively smoothly, which makes him feel even more that this breakthrough point has appeared.

When Lao Meng first joined Sichuan Mansion, he was a clean-cut, white-faced scholar with a very nice appearance. However, in the past year or two, he has obviously aged a lot. There are wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, his face is unshaven, and his face is thin. It is no exaggeration to say that he has completely lost his personal life and has exhausted all his energy and devoted himself to the expedition plan.

It is nothing better than to devote oneself to death and die.

After sitting in the camp and thinking for a while, Lao Meng had a few difficult points that he had not yet figured out, so he took the guards and soldiers out and walked out, wanting to walk around and find some new inspiration.

In the cold Draken Mountains, Meng Xi stepped on the snow and walked all the way south. The guards and soldiers followed behind and did not dare to disturb them. They only kept silent warning.

"Kang Kang!"

Suddenly, two gunshots rang out.

Meng Xi suddenly turned around and asked habitually: "Is it an enemy attack?"

The guards dispersed, pulling Meng Xi back to the defensive position nearby, and then used communication equipment to contact the guard post, but the latter informed them that it was not an enemy attack, but a patrol battalion dealing with the broken troops.

After Meng Xi heard the news, he took the soldiers to the execution site with a frown.

In a mountain col, more than 30 armed fleeing soldiers were driven to the foot of the mountain. Hundreds of soldiers from the patrol battalion held guns and began to shoot and kill all the fleeing soldiers. Because they not only ran away, but also shot and killed soldiers of the patrol battalion on the way.

The blood melted the snow, and corpses lay scattered in the pit, which was too horrible to see.

In fact, those who want to run are not wrong. The large army has no supplies, no follow-up supplies, and even fucking food. Do you still expect everyone to persist until the end?

Especially after the gas bombs were released, a large number of soldiers became infected, and the camp area was not safe, so it was normal for someone to want to escape.

However, the upper echelons of the Tengba Army felt that sooner or later the army would collapse completely if this situation continued, so they issued strict orders to kill anyone who tried to escape immediately, and those who were on patrol were all the backbone and main force of the Tengba Clan.

Meng Xi looked at the scene in the pit, twitched the corner of his mouth twice, frowned and said to the guard soldiers: "Take me to the Tengba headquarters."

"Yes!" the soldier replied immediately.

…

At the same time, the north wind outlet.

Lin Nianlei said to Qin Yu: "I want to go back to District 8 and bring the doctor here."

Qin Yu didn't think much about it: "Let Counselor Wang make arrangements and pay attention to safety. You don't have to run to me when you go back... I feel better."

"Well, I told the guards to let Xiaozao prepare sick meals for you alone. I will be back in three or two days at most." Lin Nianlei gave Qin Yu a few instructions.

"Okay." Qin Yu looked at the supply list given by Yemen and nodded slowly.

On the same day, Lin Nianlei left Beifengkou and dialed Lin Xiao's number on the plane: "Brother, help me check something out."

"Go ahead." Lin Xiao replied concisely.
