Airships are a good thing.

When they saw the steel airship of the NAC, and the supply airship that carried ammunition six hundred kilometers away, all the merchants who traveled to and from the sixth block were keenly aware of this.

It was a distance of more than 600 kilometers to transport goods from Hongcheng to Wanghai City, and along the way, whether it was a marauder or a xenomorph, it would cause a lot of losses to the passing caravans. Taking into account the road conditions of the wasteland, the cost of anything pulled from Hongcheng to Wanghai City to sell would have to be at least doubled.

But if there is such a thing as an airship, the situation is completely different!

Some businessmen are even considering ordering a few private airships from the military factories in the Sixth Block. They don't have the financial resources for a steel airship, but it's no problem to get an ordinary airbag airship.

However, the only thing that is difficult to get is helium, although because of the nuclear fusion power station, this thing was not in short supply before the war, but now after the war, it is more difficult to get a little helium than to climb to the sky. Helium couldn't be obtained, and the airship made of hydrogen was too dangerous, so the idea had to be abandoned.

In NAC, helium is a strategic reserve resource.

But fortunately, the United States is selling helium on a large scale.

As a strategic reserve for airships, the helium storage depot built by the United States in 1925 accounts for 30% of the world's helium reserves. However, with airships almost out of military use, the reserve consumes a lot of maintenance money every year, so Congress has decided to sell all of its helium by 15 years. And this resolution also makes helium on the international market extremely cheap, far less than 20 times its actual value.

It is precisely because of this that Jiang Chen can easily get a large amount of helium to subsidize the production of the end times.

But if the production of civilian airships is opened, the liquid helium he brought from the present world is still a little insufficient. At present, there are more than 500 chambers of commerce in the sixth block that have long-distance transportation business, and if the number of these hundreds of airships is maintained, the helium consumed every day can be rebuilt into another airship.

Before solving the problem of helium production, Jiang Chen had no intention of letting go of helium resources for the time being.

However, after discussions with Chu Nan, the NAC decided to set up two air flights between Wanghai City and Hongcheng, and build two new 300-ton large airbag airships for flight operations. This route will complement the land trade routes. Paid freight services for several large chambers of commerce.

At the same time, it also provides paid direct passenger transportation services for survivors who travel between the two places.

……

It's been five days since the demise of the Gru tribe.

The Confederation on both sides of the Gan River maintained a confrontation posture with the Empire, and the rebels of the Donggang Plantation struggled to support themselves under the siege of the Empire's regular army.

Because of the arrival of NAC, the whole Hongcheng was in chaos.

However, the water of the empire is hot. The area controlled by NAC is a beautiful scenery. The Golden Creek Lake Farm has resumed farming, and the survivors who were once mutant slaves have turned over to become masters and built houses in the residential areas designated by the NAC.

Inside the farm, merchants in suits and leather shoes can occasionally be seen, strolling around in the company of several mercenaries. Most of them are investors in the Sixth Block. Luckily I got the land from the bank. Almost as soon as they got the land certificate, these merchants couldn't wait to get on the newly opened airship flight and rushed to Hongcheng, 600 kilometers away.

Cement, steel, graphene pipes and other building materials were also brought here. The walls of the Golden Creek Lake Farm were reinforced, and a small market was erected. The seeds of order have been sown, and it is believed that it will not be long before the sprouts of prosperity are ushered in here.

At the same time that the Jinxi Lake Farm was being rebuilt in a drastic way, the overwhelmed empire finally sent an envoy to Jiang Chen, expressing the emperor's desire for peace. However, where would Jiang Chen, who was in an advantageous position, agree?

"Let your Emperor come to me. Perhaps I can keep his palace and let him continue to be his emperor in that stadium. Otherwise, let him fend for himself. Facing the messenger who knelt on one knee, Jiang Chen said.

If the Emperor of the Empire is well acquainted enough to agree to voluntarily join the NAC banner, there is nothing wrong with letting him continue to be this Emperor. Although I can't enjoy the treatment of more than 10,000 people like before, there is no problem in spending the rest of my life in peace.

However, it is a pity that both the Senate and the Emperor expressed extreme anger at the "arrogance" of Marshal NAC.

"These rats are simply too deceitful!"

Slammed the cup into the ground. The Emperor stood up and cursed angrily.

"Your Majesty, as long as we mobilize the army of our empire, we will definitely be able to eradicate these foreign bandits!"

"This marshal of the NAC is too arrogant! Is it true that there is no one in our empire?"

"But the Union troops are still on the other side of the river...... someone whispered.

As soon as these words came out, the indignant elders in the palace suddenly looked like deflated balls. I couldn't say a word anymore.

Oh, yes......

The threat to the empire came not only from the east, but also from the federation west of the Gan River. Without the Gelug tribe as a vassal, the empire itself was already at a disadvantage in the face of the Federation, and now it was facing the threat of the NAC.

The terrifying firepower advantage really makes people unable to raise the courage to fight.

The emperor sitting on the dragon chair was silent, looking at the elders with a grim face. These pieces of waste are better than monkeys when it comes to discussing how to spend the money of the treasury. All kinds of tax accounts are better than anyone else's, and the means of intrigue are not far behind.

However, at this critical moment, one by one is more than the other.

"Speaking of which, where did Chen Ling go?" At this time, a veteran suddenly spoke up.

As soon as these words came out, the palace suddenly became lively again.

"yes, where did that idiot go, why didn't he see anyone else!"

"Arrest him! If it weren't for that idiot's bad idea, our two corps would still be fighting the NAC men on the front line, where would they be dragged away from the Donggang Plantation!"

"That's it!"

Unable to think of how to solve the difficulties in front of them, these elders focused all their attention on throwing the pot. Even though they knew that it would mean nothing to save the empire from defeat, it was the only thing they could do at the moment, and the only thing they could do.

Listening to the words of the elders, the emperor felt more and more that it was indeed such a thing.

If it weren't for Chen Ling building yì to him and taking the heads of the slaves of the Donggang plantation to appease the people of the Gelug tribe, where would the current situation evolve. And he didn't come to the palace today to discuss matters, so he must have realized his sins.

The Emperor looked gloomily at the chief of the guard beside him.

"Pass my order to arrest Elder Chen Ling, and his wife and daughter will be reduced to slavery. ”

"Yes!" the chief guard bowed his head and walked towards the bottom of the main hall.

However, at this moment, a familiar voice came from the door.

"Don't bother, I'm here. ”

I saw the figure of Elder Chen Ling standing at the door.

And next to him, there was also a person who was no stranger to anyone present, the commander of the Third Legion of the Empire, Wei Biao. (To be continued.) )
