"Meet General Covey again!" Tao Qian saw Kewei come in and chuckled in his unique hoarse voice.

"Your name is ...... Sorry, I can't remember people who don't have an identity! Kewei opened a chair and sat down in front of Tao Qian, and asked playfully.

"My name is Tao Qian, and I am indeed a person who has no status in General Covey's mouth. Therefore, this time, on behalf of Thomas Industries, I will also discuss cooperation with you. General Covey doesn't have to bother to memorize the name of the next, he just needs to remember Thomas Industries! ”

"Thomas?" Kewei's eyes were solemn, and his eyes flickering at Tao Qian. Thomas Industries' fame has resounded all over the world, and some people have jokingly joked that where there is war, there is Thomas Industries. But Thomas's power is undeniable, and his influence on the United States is recognized.

"You? Just because you can represent Thomas Industries? Although Covey was disdainful, his face was unusually solemn.

"General Covey should look at this!" As he spoke, Tao Qian took out a piece of paper in his briefcase and handed it to Kewei, "I think General Kewei should know English, right?" ”

Covey didn't speak and picked up the document on the table, Covey still knew the trademark of Thomas Industries, and because of this, when he saw the content inside, he had to take a serious look at it.

"Why are you the plenipotentiary agent of Thomas Industries?"

"Why don't I need General Covey to take care of this, you just need to know that the attitude of Thomas Industry represents the attitude of the United States in a sense. Thomas Industries is a veteran aristocrat for more than a hundred years, and their influence has penetrated all corners of the United States, from the military to Congress.

And I know that the diplomats sent by General Covey to the United States are being hindered on the side of Congress, if Thomas Industries has the full support of you. Congress will give you the green light, and you'll have a steady stream of advanced weapons to buy from Thomas Industries. ”

"What price do I have to pay?"

"Thomas Industries is just businessmen, all they need is money. That's not a big deal for you. But what the U.S. side needs, that is, you negotiate with the U.S. government and no longer have my jurisdiction. I'm only responsible for giving you weapons support on behalf of Thomas Industries. ”

"I see!" Kewei was silent for a while, and replied in a low voice, "Happy cooperation, Mr. Tao......"

"No, no, no! I think General Covey is a little anxious! Didn't you see that I hadn't signed this entrustment contract yet? Tao Qian said with a smile in a hoarse voice.

"What do you mean?"

"Thomas Industries has given me carte blanche, but I haven't made a decision yet! General Covey, if I don't sign, Thomas Industries won't send a second person as an agent. Therefore, whether I sign or not is directly related to whether your relationship with Thomas Industries can proceed normally......"

"You're threatening me?" Kewei stared at Tao Qian with some annoyance, and in the face of Kewei's angry questioning, Tao Qian still greeted him with a relaxed smile.

"What do you want?"

"Recruit an Aris's army, as long as he honestly works for you, I hope he will be treated the same as the rest of your subordinates!"

"What a loyal dog!" Covey laughed sarcastically, "How can he be worthy of you to treat him like this?" ”

"It doesn't matter what General Covey says about me, I'm a ghost wandering in this world. Aris didn't have anything to do to him, but he saved me once, and I gave him his life. That way we don't owe each other, don't you think? ”

"Tomorrow I will send troops!" In the end, Kowi made a compromise.

"Troops will be sent tonight!"

After a deep look at Tao Qian, Kewei nodded silently after a while, "Okay!" ”

"Happy working with General Covey, this is the list provided by Thomas Industries, and you can choose what you need in it. However, please understand that these arms and equipment are not allowed to be bargained. ”

Cowi sent troops overnight and flanked the forces of Meanda in front and back. This did not exceed Mo Ziqi's expectations, Tao Qian would not have come to negotiate with Kewei in person if he didn't have full bargaining chips.

What happened next was unusually dramatic, as Aris surrendered the next day after finishing his battle with the Covey forces in front and back of Meanda and annihilating them all. And Cowe graciously accepted this once notorious sand thief in Babylon.

Tao Qian has stayed at Kewei's base since that day, and although he has settled in as an agent, he has also participated in several strategic policy conferences. inevitably met Mo Ziqi a few times.

The Kewei forces all knew that Mo Ziqi and Tao Qian were at odds, so they never said a word and no one expressed their surprise, and Babylon fell into calm again. Even if there has been friction between some forces, it has been kept within an acceptable range.

After a month, the Kewei forces once again ushered in a large-scale strategy formulation conference. Just like the one Mo Ziqi participated in when he first arrived. This time, Mo Ziqi made it to the fourth position, and after Coway announced the start of the meeting, Mo Ziqi, as the chief of staff, for the first time as an outsider, formulated a new strategy for Coway.

"The previous war is over, and we have ushered in at least a five-year cycle of peaceful development. However, I don't want to spend so long completing the war of unification. Next, there will be a fundamental reversal of our direction. ”

As he spoke, Mo Ziqi took the laser pointer and clicked on the huge LCD screen behind him, and the map of Babylon was clearly displayed on the screen.

"Our first move is to migrate, and the first stop of the migration is here!" Mo Ziqi drew a circle around the oasis before Arist.

"What? Where did you migrate? Is there a mistake? As soon as the words fell, the generals of the various units below suddenly exploded, and it was not a place to be beaten, and the old base camp that had been operating for three years said that if you don't want it, don't want it?

"Quiet!" Mo Ziqi snorted with a cold face, and the sound blew and shocked the generals who were shouting below.

"Raise your hand if you have an opinion!"

"Wow!" Dozens of hands were raised at the same time.

"Minister Mo, don't we have any oil to move there? This is the lifeblood of our economy. ”

"The oil field only needs a 100,000-strong army. Any force that wants to grab oil must first defeat these 100,000 troops, and the battle to defeat 100,000 troops will not end in a while. No matter where we migrate, our grip on oil will not be weakened! Anything else? ”

"Why are we migrating, isn't it good to be here? It's like we've lost a battle......"

"If you don't migrate, you'll lose a battle sooner or later, even if you haven't lost it. The oasis here is too small for us to vigorously develop. No population, no food, no resources. Nothing but a few mouthfuls of oil! The war is not fought by the army, but by logistics! ”

"We have oil, and if we have oil, we can sell it for money, and if we have money, we can sell everything we want, arms, so this assumption does not hold!"

This group of generals who were covered in oil suddenly stopped working. It was fine a few years ago, why not now? Is there anything in this world that money can't buy? This is how barren the mind is to have such an idea, in times of war, money is nothing, and when the whole country is the enemy, even if it is useless to guard the mountains of gold and silver.

Mo Ziqi is usually not good at words, and it is impossible for you to let him fight like Zhuge Liang. Therefore, in the face of the gossip below, Mo Ziqi's eyes became colder and colder, and in an instant, a cold current swept through the entire conference hall. In the scorching summer, Mo Ziqi's aura actually made everyone present shiver.

The chaotic rebuttal gradually subsided, and countless jealous eyes stared at Mo Ziqi. Although I don't know what the sudden chill is, it is obviously not a good thing to look at Mo Ziqi's cold appearance.

"Finished?" Mo Ziqi's indifferent voice swept through the venue like ice and snow again.

"I support Minister Mo's proposal!" The hoarse voice suddenly sounded, and such a unique voice was only Tao Qian.

"Is that him?" Everyone lowered their heads and whispered to each other, what is the relationship between Tao Qian and Mo Ziqi, everyone knows here. But when everyone refuted Mo Ziqi's plan, it was Tao Qian who was the first to express his support.

"Generals, moving to a large oasis suitable for more people is an inevitable strategic policy. In the past, whether you were a soldier and enjoyed the salary of the state, all the materials and supplies were divided by the government. Even if you don't obey the government's orders, they have to provide you with the necessary supplies to appease you. However, now it is different, the Provisional Government is gone. No one will provide you with supplies, and you need to figure out everything you want, even if it's a piece of toilet paper. ”

"We can buy it for money, since we can sell it, why do we have to move the people to that strange place!"

"Spend money to buy? Where to buy? Tao Qian's laughter sounded extremely uncomfortable, but it had an inexplicable attraction that people couldn't ignore.

Tao Qian took out the laser pointer in his pocket and pointed it at a few positions on the screen, "As long as other forces set nails in these positions." All your trade channels will be blocked, and when the time comes, not to mention that you can buy supplies, food, and medicines, even a piece of paper or a match will not be so easy.

The enemy does not need to attack you, they just need to besiege you in this place. It won't take long, as long as half a year you can only eat crude oil. Of course, you can buy from the United States, China, and other big countries by plane. However, the cost of transportation is much higher than the material itself. Leaving here is not only a geographical must, it's also a strategic must! ”

Tao Qian's words hit the nail on the head, and Mo Ziqi did not speak to acquiesce in Tao Qian's statement. A group of generals who were still arguing just now looked at each other, although they were still reluctant in their hearts, but they had not yet found a reason to refute them.

"Since you don't have any opinions, then the next strategic direction will be continued by Minister Mo." Seeing this, Kewei put an end to the topic.

"The next step is to enrich our population. Whoever has a large oasis of power and a large population will attack whomever we want. There is only one goal, we want people, a steady stream of people! (To be continued.) )
