"I also dream. I dream that the rice in Dahuang City is taller than people, and that the world of Dayan is prosperous, with everyone having eggs and meat from feathered beasts for every meal. You said there is no city with rivers and lakes, so I will paint Dahuang City into the rivers and lakes in your mind!"
These words were powerful, even more arrogant and naive than Lin Ruolong's own thoughts.
What kind of person would say such things in front of little Qilin?
She looked at Yuan Congqian who was talking nonsense, lowered her head, wanted to look away, then raised her face again, her kunzite eyes deeply engraved the layers of clouds above the sky of Dahuang City, and she laughed.
"...Hero, you are better at dreaming than I am."
Although she is much older than Lin Ruolong, her dream is even harder to realize than Lin Ruolong's dream of becoming a martial artist. Moreover, maybe, maybe, her dream has already been realized?
Chapter 180 Ursus military rations procurement, Yan country shocked
The Ursus arrived quickly.
As soon as Wei Yanwu left, their people arrived.
The specially reinforced off-road vehicle opened, and Lord Nicholas stepped down gracefully first, followed by an officer wearing a wide-brimmed hat, an Ursus noble with milky white hair, and the young Lieutenant Colonel Hippogriff walking at the end.
These people's hair is colorful, including milky white, light pink, and pale gold, which is quite eye-catching in the wilderness.
The officer wore a leather sheathed command knife at his waist, and his tall brown-black wide-brimmed hat almost completely covered his eyebrows, and his beard was kept to his cheekbones. There were two golden ribbons on his chest, and the epaulettes were printed with the pattern of Tsar Vladimir.
These decorations all show that his rank is not low.
He stared at the Shenwu Army camp outside Dahuang City with his narrow eyes for a while, then took off his wide-brimmed hat, and a pair of round bear ears suddenly jumped out in a very unserious manner, which conflicted with the solemn temperament of the officer in a somewhat funny way.
He looked up at the drone cruising in the sky, his mouth curved like an animal seeing honey, and his teeth were exposed.
"What a strange design. They don't plan to rebuild an industrial city, but to start over in the original town. I thought all the nobles were like Count Boris."
"Count Boris has been looking for a way to break away from the influence of the army group. He wants to build an industrial city of his own. To this end, he can even beg for mercy from Your Majesty and Prince Ivan and become a weeping jester."
Lord Nicholas responded softly to the staff officer's words.
Hearing this, Dr. Andre hesitated to speak.
When Lord Nicholas saw Yuan Congqian and his men coming to greet him from Dahuang City, the expression on his face turned into a smile.
"He should know that all his accounts are under the eyes of the Treasury Department, and everything he does is under surveillance. I am more curious about how he managed to successfully get rid of the military's influence to build the city, and his expression when he was arrested by the army after successfully building the industrial city."
"Coach, Lord, Count Boris is a member of the Duma. I believe he will make the right choice..."
"Well, who should I show this to?"
The staff officer put on his wide-brimmed hat again, pushed it down, and hid his smile in the shadows: "We know that you have a connection with Count Boris, but this is not that important. Let's go check the rations of the soldiers in the group."
As soon as the words fell, the milky white Ursus followed Lord Nicholas.
The brief conversation between the Ursus people did not attract much attention. The Shenwu Army just thought that these Ursus people were telling each other some sarcastic jokes. After all, it was well known that the Ursus people were good at sarcasm.
After Lord Nicholas greeted Yuan Congqian, he first introduced the milky white teddy bear.
"This is Count Fyodor's attendant, Andrei Rostov, a graduate of St. Jung State University, with a doctorate in economics. Over there is the staff officer of the Third Army. During this military ration procurement, the staff officer will only raise a few questions. It is enough for Lord Yuan to introduce it to Andrei and me."
Lord Nicholas seemed to have forgotten something. He looked at Herag and smiled, "Oh, and there is also Lieutenant Colonel Blucher who we are responsible for protecting. He is good at using a knife."
His disdain for military officers like Hellagur was already visibly evident.
The staff officers of the army group and the earl's retainers are people in the civil service system, and they are Lord Nicholas's own people. In Yanguo, officials and nobles hate each other, but the Ursus nobles are civil servants above level six, and there are national conditions here.
Most things are coincidences, just like Dr. Andre, who is also an acquaintance.
Natalia Andreyevna Rostova, the sniper operator, was revealed early on. After Ursus's name deformation and restoration, it can be inferred that her father is Andrei Rostov.
Helag accepted the cold violence of the civil service system and stayed where he was to guard the off-road vehicle. The other three followed Yuan Congqian into the industrial platform to check the military ration samples he had prepared for Ursus in the past few days.
The staff officer looked at the familiar industrial platform and said, "Selling the equipment of the Empire's food factory to the Yan people, and then looking for the Yan people to buy military rations, this is a bit ridiculous. Are all the treasury offices filled with civil servants and nobles like you?"
Lord Nicholas ignored the staff officer's sarcasm and ridicule.
"Just based on the fact that the Yan people overcame the technical barriers of Colombia and developed cola in less than a month, it is a sure win for the Empire to place an order for Yan's light industrial food investment."
"I hope so." The staff officer smiled arrogantly.
With Helag around, the civil officials and nobles could still face the outside world in unison. As soon as Helag left, the atmosphere between them immediately turned into intrigue and mutual ridicule, very much like the style of the Ursus Empire government.
His arrogance continued until Yuan Congqian quoted a price.
Andre, a PhD in Economics, was confused:
"Did the translator mistranslate the price he mentioned? The price of a can of this military luncheon meat developed by Columbia is three times that of a can of luncheon meat from Yan Country!"
On the industrial platform, the price Yuan Congqian quoted for canned tumor beast meat gave the Ursus people a little shock.
Yan Country's supporting technology for fly maggot breeding is several years ahead of his previous life, so naturally they have to focus on luncheon meat, the pearl of Colombia, and make it as cheap as cabbage. It can benefit the Ursus Army and strike at Colombia.
"Lord Yuan, are you sure you didn't get the price wrong?"
Lord Nicholas listened to the price, then looked at the can of canned luncheon meat in front of him, wondering if there was something wrong. Could it be that the prices he usually knew were false, and the Yan people had no shortage of canned luncheon meat?
"Of course not." Yuan Congqian said with a smile.
He didn't say he could make a profit at this price.
"Open it and take a look." said the staff officer.
Lord Nicholas looked at Yuan Congqian with a questioning look, and was handed a can of warthog meat that he had picked up from the pile of cans. He opened the can, and inside was luncheon meat that was shiny and fragrant, and the color was like a beauty.
The three Ursus people couldn't take their eyes off.
The familiar aroma of protein instantly put aside all their doubts, knowing that Yan Country had completely mastered the preparation technology of luncheon meat. Even though Dahuang City only had this kind of luncheon meat, the staff decided to agree.
“What about the shelf life?”
"Certainly longer than Colombia's, and your country need not doubt that."
This meat is a mixture of maggot powder and starch, and its shelf life is certainly not comparable to that of real luncheon meat in Colombia.
Looking at the luncheon meat with its tempting luster in front of him, the staff officer took it closer for a look.
No matter how you look at it, it's flawless meat with added starch, and the rich meat aroma almost aroused his appetite.
The staff officer coughed and asked, "Can I have a taste?"
Yuan Congqian happily took out the can of luncheon meat that Wei Yanwu had eaten and placed the meat on a plate.
"This is a can of luncheon meat that our crown prince tasted. It was sealed and stored at room temperature three days ago. In order to ensure that the military rations we provide to your country are of standard, he must taste it himself. You may want to take a look to see if the luncheon meat has gone bad after being stored!"
Chapter 181: The sword is pointed at Casimir!
The product of high-purity crude protein powder and starch is clean and hygienic.
It is delicious even when eaten raw, and if simply grilled, it becomes top-quality luncheon meat with a tangy aroma. Whether it is for filling your stomach or providing nutritious protein, it is an extremely cost-effective choice.
“It was a delightful lunch, and I believe the Third Army will be able to enjoy it soon.”
The staff officer put down his knife and fork, looking pleased.
"In that hellish place called Casimir where people are exposed to the sun, the soldiers only need to light a fire to enjoy a barbecue feast. There is nothing happier than this. Yan Country is indeed a country with a strong food culture, and it is also so good at making military rations."
It's not like he hasn't tasted meat that's more delicious, more expensive, and more tender than Spam.
Given his rank, he was provided with daily supplies.
But the price of those meats is hundreds or thousands of times higher than the can of luncheon meat in your hand.
If you go to the butcher in Saint-Jewel-on-Trent to buy meat with the price of a can of luncheon meat, they will just curse at you and tell you to get out, or they will reluctantly cut you a finger-sized piece of meat with the look of an infected person.
Lord Nicholas and Andrei were also extremely surprised.
They knew that the Yan people mixed starch into it, used seasoning and even more cost-saving techniques, but so what? If the Yan people could really make money at this price, then they should really make a lot of money from Ursus.
As the saying goes, horse urine is expensive and Guojiao is cheap. They know too well what canned luncheon meat at this price represents.
To be honest, using this kind of canned luncheon meat as military rations is even a bit of a waste of resources.
If we use the money to arm an army in Ursus to deliver a can of this luncheon meat to the residents of a city every day, and everyone gets one, this can last for a whole month. This is definitely a policy that will steadily increase happiness.
Unfortunately, Ursus is still in a state of war mobilization, and the Empire and Casimir are only temporarily at a truce. When a new victory point appears, the war will inevitably reignite. The canned luncheon meat specially supplied by Yan Country can only be supplied to the army group first.
And if the staff guessed correctly, the army group knew about the military rations supplied by Yan Country, and the Empire would declare war on Casimir again sooner or later. The Empire could not afford to delay, and must defeat Casimir as soon as possible to reap the benefits of the war.
"Then, the key to breaking the deadlock in this war between the Empire and Casimir..."
The staff officer looked at the luncheon meat on the plate with an obscure light in his eyes. The key to breaking the century-long Wuka War was the luncheon meat and the surprise provided by Yan Country.
Ursus had been suffering from the food and light industry for a long time, and it was fortunate to be able to get rid of the stranglehold of the core circle countries. He was also very fortunate that the Imperial Army Group had left a neighbor without declaring war, so that an alliance of two great powers could be formed.
The staff officer asked curiously:
"I'm curious, has the Yan Nation army already used these cans?"
If the Yan people can sell canned luncheon meat, how rich is their country? Could their army use the legendary Tianshifu technology to throw a small wooden box on the ground and turn it into a hot pot fast food restaurant?
"The army was a little disgusted and asked me if I had a better one," Yuan Congqian replied regretfully.
So, the staff officer was shocked again.
He has made up his mind to dissuade some military forces from testing the Yan State's ideas.
This is a bit too exaggerated. The Colombian army treasures luncheon meat, but the Yan army is unwilling to eat it. What kind of food is this? In this era when people can't even have enough food, what they supply is not luncheon meat, but morale!
The price is so low, in Yan Country, perhaps canned luncheon meat has already become a technology that has been transferred from military to civilian use?
“How many cans of luncheon meat can be provided in a month?”
"This is determined by the production line. According to the current trend of the industrial platform focusing on developing production lines for canned cola and luncheon meat, the output can gradually increase to three million cans per month within six months."
Yuan Congqian answered very honestly, and his principle was to answer every question.
The staff officer raised his hands and muttered to himself after hearing what the translator said, "Three million cans a month is a lot, but not much either. It's too slow! After accumulating for half a year, it's only enough for one army group for one month."
"We still need more canned food, such as canned fruit. We hope Yan Country can provide as much as possible. If we encounter difficulties in research and development, we can also provide the best food engineers to Yan Country for technical assistance."
He looked at Nicholas and Andrei, "You guys will take care of this. No matter how much the Yan people offer, I want six million cans. Also, I seem to have heard that the Northwest Tundra Garrison has sent a group of infected people to build a production line for the Yan people?"
Lord Nicholas's hands trembled and his knife and fork fell on the table.
He had no idea that the staff officer knew all about this, and he was immediately horrified.
"You are also responsible for the handover at the Yan Country Embassy. Considering that you are busy and have introduced the purchase of Yan Country's military rations to the empire, you just need to take care of yourself." The staff officer rubbed his crossed fingers together and fell into thought.
"Thank you, thank you for your understanding. My loyalty to the empire is witnessed by the ice, snow and thick earth..."
Upon hearing this, Lord Nicholas felt as if he had been pardoned, and was sweating profusely without realizing it.
The staff officer drove a fork into the grilled luncheon meat, nearly piercing the plate.
"On the contrary, the garrison troops at the tundra mines are too disloyal to Your Majesty. Even if they were a bit more normal, the Empire would not have fallen into a passive form of diplomacy with the Yan Kingdom. How... How regrettable it is."
The staff officer was gritting his teeth when he said the last few words. "I will let them join the army's operations. They are so fierce and like to torture and kill people. I think they are very suitable for attacking the Great Knight Territory!"
Fortunately, the Yan people don’t know much about the policy on infected people in Ursus, so there is still a chance to remedy the situation.
Whenever the staff officer thought of this incident and savored the aroma of meat lingering in his mouth, he felt so angry that he almost trembled all over.
He didn't bother to care about the Yan army stationed in Dahuang City or the drones cruising in the sky.
Since we are allies and canteen, we can be more polite.
Now, he just wanted to drag all the pig garrison in the mine to fill the ditch!
Yuan Congqian stood aside, listening to the three Ursus people whispering to each other and waiting patiently.
After the discussion, the staff officer took off his white gloves and shook hands with Yuan Congqian:
"The Empire thanks you for providing the opportunity to purchase military rations such as canned luncheon meat, Mountain and River Cola, and Feathered Beast Egg Spicy Instant Noodles. The relevant procurement agreements and technical assistance agreements will be signed soon. This is of vital importance to the Empire, and the Yan people will be the Empire's eternal allies."
He paused and continued:
"I heard that Lord Yuan also has a certain right to advise on Yan's diplomacy? Regarding the Empire's next diplomatic move, and Victoria's reaction to your country's help for Rem Billiton's independence at the Lateran Conference, I hope to have a private discussion with Lord Yuan..."
Chapter 41: Anti-inflammatory Act, East and West Rem Bill (Additional Chapter )
"The mutual connection and mutual assistance among the Terran countries is based on the high threat of Kazdel. There are more than 3,400 ruins of Kazdel scattered across Terra. The threat of the Sarkaz, which requires a coalition of various countries to eliminate, is self-evident."
"However, over the past hundred years, with the end of the Four Emperors' War, Columbia, Syracuse, and Rembil have successively become independent, and the threat from Kazdel has gradually become smaller. The friction of interests between countries has become more and more glaring."
The Third Army's staff laid the groundwork for a long time and revealed their original intentions.
“Sargon is the birthplace of mankind, Sami is the outpost of mankind’s defense against the ice field, Minos and Iberia are engraved with the history of mankind, and Ursus and Yan have been guarding the northern border for the core circle countries for more than a thousand years.
But what was the result? The core circle countries excluded non-core circle countries in the name of peace and freedom, and expelled them from the civilized world. They did not recognize Ursus's cultural journals and denied the overseas assets of Ursus Bank. If it were not for military strength, I am afraid that our name would not even be on the Lateran International Conference.
If we, the non-core circle countries, Yan, Rem, and Ursus, want to resist the military threats from the core circle countries, we can only help each other, just like in the Universal Conference in Lateran. "
