Cheng Lei sent a letter asking Kong Long and Kong Hu to import in large quantities the parts and high-quality fuel needed for various aircraft from the West, and they will now start mass production of the Lion King 1 fighter.

Now Zheng Bin is in charge of the entire aircraft test site, while Qi Mi is involved in the construction of oil mines and refineries. Now Cheng Lei is most troubled by the problem of funds, although they can barely maintain the balance of funds, but once something unexpected happens, the capital chain is broken, and the entire Lion King base will face a very big dilemma.

Because sufficient preliminary work has been done for the development of oil mines, oil mines have now entered the primary stage of exploitation. The refinery is the top priority at present, which requires a lot of technical force and personnel. The refugees who had been taken in had been trained to become good workers in oil mines and refineries.

And they have also invited some technical masters from the West, and if there is any problem in terms of technology, these people can completely solve it. Cheng Lei sent someone to contact the owners of the oil mines in Daheng City and several southern cities, telling them that the oil refinery in the Lion King base was about to start, and if they wanted to make money, they would transport the oil mines to the Lion King base, and they would definitely give them a good price.

Of course, Xing Chenghui would not let it go, Cheng Lei asked Qi Mi to go to Xing's house in person, and Xing Chenghui was of course very interested. Because the financial resources that Xingjiamen spends on the horse team every year are equivalent to more than 40 percent of the revenue of the entire oil mine, accounting for nearly half of the proportion. If the Lion King Base can collect all the oil mines in the Xingjiamen Oil Mine, the cost saved by Xingjiamen Light is also very impressive.

Cheng Lei's purpose is to directly monopolize the entire oriental oil industry chain except for Balono, so as to maximize the benefits and make the Lion King base a rich man in this world. However, this idea is now just an idea, and now the army of Balonos is still raging in the country of Itos, and if it is not surprising that if the whole territory of Itos is occupied by Baleno, then the oil production on the side of Itos will become the country of Balono.

If Balunou advances northward again, the southern cities of the Liedong Federation will be greatly threatened, and whether Cheng Lei's plan will work at that time is two theories. Cheng Lei is very strange that the battles on the side of the Eastern World have been fought to this extent, why are the Western empires still indifferent? The oil reserves of the entire Eastern world account for more than 85 percent of the Eastern and Western worlds, and they are all produced by these cities in the easternmost part of the world, which are close to the deserts, and the Western world does not have much oil reserves at all.

If in the world before them, oil resources were simply the lifeblood of the country, the lifeblood of the world, and if those big countries did not act like this, then there was really a problem. Cheng Lei thought about it again, now the mechanization in this world has not been popularized at all, and even the tank armored vehicle converted from the Lion King military truck is the only one of the scorpions, and of course there will not be a large amount of oil. So Cheng Lei's previous idea of choking the oil lifeblood of all countries is still a little immature, so what should I do?

Cheng Lei thought a little depressed, could it be that the previously carefully planned plan was going to be aborted? At this moment, Zheng Bin hurriedly walked in with a newspaper: "Lao Cheng, take a look, big news!" We've got an opponent now! ”

Cheng Lei took the newspaper and saw that it was World Weekly. The front page of the weekly magazine is a line of eye-catching big letters: Yaruk Country is the world's first independent manufacturer of a combat vehicle that can be widely used in conventional land warfare, named Daya Tank No. 1. There is also a picture on it, and I saw that the tanks on it were similar to the little devil tanks in World War II, and they all looked ugly. However, their tanks use self-developed regular barrels and tracked wheels, which are stronger than the truck-modified tanks at the Lion King base. No, Cheng Lei feels that it is not much stronger, because judging from the photos, the thickness of their steel plate may not be as good as the thickness of the steel plate that Cheng Lei modified and welded.

However, this news also cast a shadow on Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin's hearts, which means that the idea that they had longed for to be able to push all the lines on the ground was not completed. I'm afraid that these Westerners were also stimulated by Cheng Lei's modified tanks, so they worked so hard to build their new tanks. Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin immediately came up with a plan, that is, to let the arsenal immediately design anti-tank weapons, otherwise, if tanks are rampant in the future, I am afraid that they will suffer a loss if there are no anti-tank weapons.

Cheng Lei lit a cigarette, sighed and said, "Lao Zheng, why do you think we are so unlucky?" Originally, we thought that our military strength would be able to abuse those people, but now that they have suddenly developed a standard tank, I am afraid that our idea will come to naught. ”

Zheng Bin said with a smile: "Life is not satisfactory nine times out of ten, it doesn't matter, their tanks are just being produced now, and if they want to be mass-produced, I think it will take a while." Now the main thing for us is to quickly find a way to build an oil refinery, and if their tanks are mass-produced, I think this is probably a very staggering figure. We have a monopoly on the supply of oil in the East, and they can only buy oil from us, and then it will be the time when we will get rich! ”

Cheng Lei nodded and said: "Well, if a tank wants to run for a long distance, then it will definitely need a car to provide various material support, then their fuel will definitely not be limited to the use of tanks, and we will indeed be able to make a lot of money at that time!" ”

"But ......" Zheng Bin let out a sigh: "I'm afraid that if the Western Empire doesn't justify us, what should we do?" Those are old empires, very strong militarily, and if they come with us, we won't be able to eat and walk around. ”

Cheng Lei's eyes shone with a ruthless gleam: "I developed the aircraft so deliberately for this, if they send troops to fight, I am afraid that we will also have a powerful air force at that time." Air-to-land, no matter how you look at it, we are sure to win! ”

"I hope so!" Zheng Bin played with the models of airplanes and tanks on Cheng Lei's desk and said: "It's not easy for us outsiders to lay this foundation step by step. We must not let go easily, otherwise I am afraid that there will be no place in this world in the future! ”

After the two discussed some other things, Zheng Bin went to implement some specific plans. Cheng Lei was still looking at the wall clock on the wall and pondering, could it be that the future road of the Lion King Army can only be to embark on the road of competing for hegemony with the great powers? Cheng Lei shook his head, he didn't want and wouldn't let the Lion King Army become the kind of strong country that oppresses the weak and bullies the weak. Although they originally came to this world with the idea of building a powerful empire in this world and dominating the whole world.

But more and more realities are placed in front of Cheng Lei, Balunou has invaded the Burning Sun Federation and the Itos Kingdom one after another, and the civilians of the two countries have abandoned their homes where they have lived for several generations or even dozens of generations, and have become wandering refugees everywhere. The whole country in the war was full of people's livelihood, and after the baptism of war, the place was full of disasters and desolation. Everyone is in the shadow of war, and it is a hell on earth.

This is a result that Cheng Lei absolutely does not want to see and does not want to happen, so Cheng Lei does not want to develop military strength in order to dominate the world now. The reason for his efforts to develop armaments is actually to allow all the Lion King Army and the people of the Lion King Base, as well as all the allies related to the Lion King Army and the Lion King Base, to have a peaceful place to live. If they have the opportunity, Cheng Lei also wants to continue to expand and expand the Lion King Base and expand it into a huge city, a city that can accommodate many tens of thousands of people.

This giant city can be self-sufficient in food, clothing, housing and transportation, and it can also be military without being invaded by other countries, which is what Cheng Lei wants. But this is just a dream, a dream utopia, although Cheng Lei doesn't know if this dream can be realized, but he is struggling for this long-term goal.

Bandit Mountain, Jiangshan Cottage.

Liu Huzi, the owner of the village, was listening to the report of his subordinates: "There are three of them, one is the leader, and the other two are this person's entourage. The leader said that I should pass on the message to the big boss, but what he said was a bit ......."

"Something!" Liu Huzi hated the way his subordinates were spitting the most, so he said a little impatiently.

"Something's wrong...... I really don't dare to say it......"

Liu Huzi frowned and said, "You just give me the original words, I, Liu Huzi, am not such a small-bellied person!" Say it. ”

"Good...... All right. The man trembled a little: "The leader said, let Liu Laosan run out to see me, and tell him that the head of the man on the southern battlefield should be returned to me!" The big boss said this by that person, and it has nothing to do with me. I was very angry when I heard this, and I was afraid that he was really your friend, so I didn't embarrass them, otherwise I would have tied them up! ”

Liu Huzi pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then showed a look of great joy on his face: "Quick, open the middle door, I will personally greet the distinguished guests!" You're lucky you didn't tie anyone up, otherwise I wouldn't have let you eat and walk around! ”

The messenger hurriedly went out to open the middle door, and Liu Huzi greeted him with a group of henchmen. After he saw Montali, his eyes first flashed with essence, and then his face showed pain, and he fell to his knees and said loudly: "Liu San has seen the battalion commander!" ”

Muntali walked over and kicked Liu Huzi's buttocks: "Liu Laosan, you kid was like a bandit when you were a soldier, how did you become a bandit and learn all this red tape?" The eldest husband kneels to the sky and kneels to his parents, why are you kneeling indiscriminately, hurry up for me! ”

Liu Huzi didn't get up, but continued: "Lord Camp Commander, if it wasn't for you, Liu Laosan would have become a handful of loess by today, where can I see the light of day?" The battalion boss is my reborn parents, and I, Liu Laosan, kneel at ease! ”

Muntali laughed and said, "Liu Laosan, you guy, get up quickly!" If I don't get up again, I'll go down the mountain immediately! ”

Liu Huzi immediately jumped up and supported Muntali with one hand, like a eunuch: "Lord Muntali, why did you suddenly visit this little bandit mountain?" Could it be that the state of Itos announced its surrender? ”

Muntali said as he walked: "Liu Laosan, did I come all the way here, don't you let me have a sip of tea first, just here to talk to me?" ”

Liu Huzi hurriedly invited Muntali into the house: "My lord said that I was joking, Liu Laosan's life is yours, how can you say anything?" That's it, I won't ask questions anymore, don't get me wrong......

At this time, Muntali suddenly asked: "Liu Laosan, how many people and how many guns do you have in this Jiangshan Village?" ”

Liu Huzi said: "Five hundred and sixteen soldiers, more than three hundred horses, and more than six hundred guns of various colors. What do you want? ”

Muntali said calmly: "Borrow someone, borrow a gun!" ”

Liu Huzi frowned, the most precious thing for these bandits is actually people and guns, if there is no gun, Liu Huzi is afraid that he will not be able to count Mao on this bandit mountain. However, his benefactor spoke, and of course Liu Huzi couldn't refuse: "No problem, but I want to ask, who is the adult going to shoot when he borrows a gun?" ”

"Bandit Mountain!" When the three words of Montali came out of his mouth, Liu Huzi was already dumbfounded. Is Montali trying to take the bandits of the Bandit Mountain to fight the bandits of the Bandit Mountain?

Liu Huzi swallowed his saliva: "My lord, the six bandits of the bandit mountain have long established a rule, if there is a foreign enemy to attack, fight together." If there is an internal rebellion, put it down together! If I start a rebellion, then these people in the village will not be their opponents at all, after all, there are two or three thousand people in the five villages combined. ”

Muntali said again: "It's okay, you can go and gather a few helpers and tell them that our troops are at the bottom of the mountain, and they are the team of the Lion King Army of the Liedong Federation who have come to recruit An." If these people can obey Zhao'an, there must be a lot of preferential treatment for joining the Lion King Army. On the contrary, if they resist Zhao'an, then they can enjoy the power of our armored tanks and the bombardment of large-caliber howitzers! Just tell them! ”

Liu Huzi's face was a little ugly: "Do you really say that?" My lord, there are so many soldiers in our village, if we are really besieged by them. I'm afraid that more than half of them will surrender to so many people, and I'm afraid I won't be able to control it at all. This decision is simply too risky and mysterious, can you think about it again, my lord? ”

Muntali said coldly: "Liu Laosan, I valued you at the beginning because you never disobeyed my orders. I saved you because you were a man! But now it seems that I was wrong, not only are you disobedient, but you are still cowardly and afraid of things to this extent! Is this still the original Liu Laosan who stuck a knife in his brother's ribs to death? Is this still the brave and fearless Liu Laosan, who is willing to follow the path of tens of millions of people? I think you've been corrupted by wine, right? ”

Liu Huzi raised his head at this time and said: "My lord, it's not like you said, I, Liu Laosan, am also a man who stands up to the sky, how can I fall to that point?" ”

"Then you say it out loud to me, I will let you be the overlord of this bandit mountain, do you dare to do it?!"

"Dare to do it!"

"I asked you to be the leader of the Lion King Army Bandit Mountain, do you dare to do it?!"

"I dare!"

"Good!" (To be continued.) )
