Along Beifengdu's overgrown and unmaintained road, a huge motorcade came in a mighty manner.
At the front was a row of jeeps filled with armed men.
Behind the jeep, there were nearly 300 buses and trucks, all of which were in tatters, but they could still walk, and the buses were full of people.
Finally, a row of jeeps followed to ensure the safety of the convoy.
After the convoy entered Beifengdu Port, there was no gunfight.
The zombies here have long been eliminated, and the riverside town is empty, like a ruin.
Only the tall port gate still stands, the five characters of Beifengdu Port and the two-headed dragon national emblem of the Hanyue Empire still hang there, telling of the glory and glory of the past.
In the jeep in front, Xie Jinshan was sitting behind the driver's seat, looking at the port with some regret.
After the end of the world, this is his second time here.
For the first time, he met a noble from the Daliao Empire across the river through someone else's introduction.
Count Ferdinand of Daliao.
His ability to become the Speaker of the Alliance was inseparable from the support of Count Ferdinand.
His modified vehicles were all collected by himself, but those armored vehicles were purchased from Count Ferdinand.
The reason why he only has these five cars is because the cost of purchasing them is too high.
The situation is somewhat different from Han Yue. Daliao's population is less than one-tenth that of Han Yue, so the number of zombies is also very small, but Daliao's military strength is no worse than Han Yue.
In addition to being a noble of Daliao, Count Ferdinand is also the division commander of the garrison of Daliao Volcano City across the river.
He not only has a division of troops under his command, but also a military factory.
Under the Daliao military system, the number of a division is 50,000.
Of course, after the end of the world, this number has shrunk significantly. Ferdinand's reorganization division has less than 6,000 people alive, and the death toll is close to 90%.
However, six thousand men is not a small number. Ferdinand later increased his troops to 20,000 through forcible recruitment, which was considered a very powerful force.
With his troops, Ferdinand successfully recaptured the volcanic city.
Although the population of Volcano City is less than that of a developed county in Hanyue, it is still a city and currently has about 400,000 survivors.
After Ferdinand occupied the city, he immediately restored the production line. After such a long period of accumulation, his strength was already quite formidable.
But Xie Jinshan didn't know exactly how terrible it was. Today was the second time he had traded with Ferdinand since the end of the world.
The Daliao Empire was vast, sparsely populated, and rich in resources, but Ferdinand could not even look down upon ordinary things.
He asked Xie Jinshan to trade with him only in terms of population.
The 400,000 people in the volcanic city are simply not enough to support Ferdinand's ambitions. He needs more people to support his future development.
...
After the convoy arrived at Beifengdu, Xie Jinshan asked everyone to get off the bus.
More than 10,000 people in the cave base were kicked out by Xie Jinshan's men, and they all stood shivering in the north wind.
This place is still 800 kilometers away from Lombard City, and the temperature is even lower. The autumn grass on the surrounding grasslands is already withered and yellow, and the temperature is almost ten degrees lower than the temperature in Zhuguang City.
Opposite is the mighty Tongtian River, and the north wind from Daliao blows over without any hindrance. This is probably how Beifengdu got its name.
These survivors stand here, not daring to move or complain, not knowing what their next fate will be.
Xie Jinshan looked back at the crowd of survivors, feeling a little unbearable.
These are his compatriots, but now they are being sent to a foreign country by him.
But he had no choice. After making the decision, there was no turning back.
Beside Xie Jinshan, one of his men looked at the river and said: "Speaker, do we want to cross the river? But we don't have boats. I just looked at the riverside and many of the boats are embroidered and cannot be used."
Xie Jinshan shook his head slightly: "Of course those boats can't be used, but we don't need to cross the river, we just need to wait for people to come from the other side of the river."
With that said, Xie Jinshan walked a few steps along the port border and came to a watchtower on the riverside.
After boarding the watchtower, he took out a gun and loaded it with a flare.
Pointing at the sky, Xie Jinshan fired a shot.
"Bang!"
The flash of the signal bomb exploded in the sky, and it was relatively conspicuous under the sky shrouded in dark clouds.
"Just wait, someone will come over there soon."
Xie Jinshan walked down and waited by the river with a group of his men.
About forty minutes later, the sound of a whistle came from the river.
Several cargo ships were slowly approaching along the river.
Xie Jinshan looked at those rusty ships with a look of envy in his eyes.
Although this ship was on the verge of being eliminated before the end of the world, in the end of the world, it is definitely a good thing.
After all, given the alliance's status and strength, it doesn't even have a single ship.
And he noticed that among these ships, there was also a yacht.
Compared with the cargo ship, the yacht looks newer, and it can be seen that it is regularly maintained.
On the second floor of the yacht, you can vaguely see someone sitting there, looking over here.
"Cheer up, it may be Count Ferdinand who is here in person. We are here to trade with them normally. We don't want to lose the prestige of our alliance."
Under the command of Xie Jinshan, his men quickly lined up, and the people behind them also shouted at the somewhat restless survivors.
The survivors looked at the boats across the river and had a premonition of something. Some shed tears, some fainted, and some were numb.
After a while, the ship docked at the former customs wharf.
Someone got off the boat and walked along the landing site.
When Xie Jinshan saw a blond man walking in front, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Count Ferdinand, long time no see!"
"Thanks, long time no see."
The two hugged each other and then talked there.
Both of them are nobles and counts, so the atmosphere during the conversation was quite good.
Ferdinand glanced far away and showed a satisfied smile: "Thank you, you are a reputable person. I am very satisfied with the transaction chips this time."
Xie Jinshan smiled bitterly: "To be honest, Mr. Earl, this time I risked the disapproval of the world. There are a total of 13,000 people here, and they were all captured quietly by me. If this matter is spread,
I'm afraid I will be torn into pieces by the people of my country."
Ferdinand laughed: "No, if I want to kill you, I must first defeat you. This time I have also brought you chips that will satisfy you. I believe that with these things, people in your country will not be able to kill you if they want to."
It will be so easy."
Ferdinand turned around and saw that the cargo was being unloaded over there.
The long sampans have been rolled out, and the former loading dock is in use again.
The cargo ship's cabin opened, and chariots drove out from the cargo ship.
Brand-new armored vehicles drove out one after another, there were twenty of them.
The armored convoy drove ashore, and Ferdinand opened the door of a car. There were also heavy machine guns inside. There were five heavy machine guns in one car.
I saw armored vehicles and tanks coming down from the freighter.
Xie Jinshan was not excited when he saw the armored vehicle, but when he saw the tank, his eyes lit up completely.
The tank was also new. Although the protective armor in some places didn't look that new, it was definitely newly assembled, and he could tell that.
Ferdinand also introduced with a smile: "The IKV-91 light tank is equipped with a 90mm low-pressure gun. There are two kinds of shells in the car: armor-piercing shells and grenades. Each car is equipped with fifty rounds of shells. In addition,
There is also a 7.62mm machine gun, and I also gave you some smoke bombs as a gift, which is enough for a friend."
Xie Jinshan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded repeatedly.
When all the tanks disembarked, Xie Jinshan's expression was somewhat depressed.
The deck of the last cargo ship was very large, with eight helicopters parked on it.
The helicopter also flew down and it looked new.
Xie Jinshan didn't even listen to Ferdinand's introduction about helicopters, but asked directly: "Mr. Count, is there something wrong with the quantity?"
"What's wrong?"
"What I want is fifty armored vehicles, three hundred machine guns, fifty tanks, and twenty helicopters, but the numbers are wrong. There are twenty armored vehicles and tanks, one hundred and fifty machine guns, and even more helicopters.
There are only eight, which is more than half the requirement."
Ferdinand glanced at Xie Jinshan: "Mr. Speaker, have you forgotten the price list of our transaction? The weapons you proposed require a total of 30,000 people to exchange. You told me about the population before you came.
The number is only 13,000 people. I totally followed the price list and I definitely didn’t deduct anything from you.”
Xie Jinshan was stunned for a moment. It took a lot of effort for him to gather these 13,000 people. He lost some people just to build the cave base. Later, transportation also consumed a lot of manpower and material resources.
After that, there is still the work of cleaning up. Don’t let anyone track you. You are like a mouse walking along the way, fearing that you will be discovered.
As a result, I forgot about the price list and did not achieve the results I wanted.
"This... Your Excellency, the number of 17,000 people is too much. Can you keep the accounts for now? When I get absolute control of the Northern Territory, I will gather the needed population for you."
Ferdinand shook his head: "That's absolutely not possible. If you don't bring me the population, I won't give you weapons."
Xie Jinshan gritted his teeth: "Mr. Ferdinand, with all due respect, what do you want with that large population? In this era, the more people there are, the more food is needed. It is a more difficult task to collect supplies."
Ferdinand smiled: "Mr. Speaker, there is no need to worry about this. It is a fair transaction between us. To be honest, you are not the only one who has orders for weapons here. The Bauhinia Empire has also ordered weapons from me. But they
The population is not large, so I give priority to you. You are not the only choice I have."
Seeing Ferdinand's lack of food and salt, Xie Jinshan was also a little worried.
In his opinion, these weapons were not enough to completely suppress the Light Chasing Army and could not achieve the effect he wanted.
But he had no other choice. He wanted more weapons, so he could only continue to act.
It seems that the peninsula base in Caiqi County must also be captured.
Fortunately, with these weapons, taking over the peninsula base is not a problem.
Xie Jinshan gritted his teeth: "Well, Mr. Ferdinand will take these people away. Please complete the rest of my orders as soon as possible. We may have to conduct the next transaction in a few days."
Xie Jinshan waved to the back, and his men began to escort Han Yue's thirteen thousand people onto the Daliao Empire's cargo ship.
