Chapter 156: Footprints of Predecessors
"Huh." Luke, who has just found a little sense of superiority. was immediately taken aback by the loud voice of this guy. If it weren't for the fact that this guy wouldn't have brought anything. He had to think that this guy was actually a mage. I have my own business expansion spell.
I saw it on the shopping street. The owners and clerks of other shops poked their heads out of their shops.
"Come on. Come on. Somebody here wants to buy that large shipment. Russ beckoned to the crowd on the shopping street. After shouting, he turned around and rubbed his hands and asked Luke. "Ahaha. Excuse me. I was a little overjoyed for a while. I don't know where the thirty tons of grain are going to be moved for you. ”
"From the cloud. Lead them to the ship. Remember to ask Agano to open the cargo door. Luke reached out and took the box from Congyun's hand. Naturally, it's also money. There are too many supplies. I'm afraid that only one box of money is a bit insufficient.
"Got it." Nodding. Looking at Russ from the clouds. Motioned for him to have things moved. I may lead the way to those people.
Nodding. Russ turned and shouted into the shop. "Luke. Get out of here, you kid. Let the earth tiger guy take someone to move things quickly. There are big customers here. ”
Burst.
Russ was heard shouting. Congyun immediately laughed. The Tianjin wind next to him was also smiling with a red face. Even Reuter couldn't hold back his laughter. I really didn't expect it. It's a small world. In this way, you can come across a duplicate name.
Luke rolled his eyes. Although I know that this guy is not shouting about himself. But why did he feel so unhappy?
At this time, the owners of those other shops also came up. They all recommended their goods to Luke. It's not easy to have such a rich guy. If you don't hurry, you almost sell what you have in your hand. Maybe it won't be a few months before that happens.
Luke didn't have the patience to bargain with the shopkeepers. When I saw Oyodo standing on the side and doing nothing. Immediately pointed at the big lake and shouted. "Tell her anything. In the end, just come to me and get the money. With that, he squeezed out of the crowd. By the way, the Tianjin wind was also brought out.
Oyodo sees Luke dumping the pot at her. I'm not angry. He just smiled and began to discuss with the shopkeepers. She usually comes here to buy supplies. So I'm very familiar with these stores. Deal with it in an orderly manner. Luke was really relieved.
At this time, Luke finally saw the guy with the same name as him. The thin body looks like a malnourished. God knows if this guy Russ is exploiting employees. But look at this kid's sunny look. Probably not.
At this time, a large number of big men who were responsible for carrying goods at the dock also rushed over. There are also several trailers and carts used to transport goods. After a few hellos, he began to carry bags of grain from the warehouse behind Russ's shop.
Dadian talked to those merchants for a while. The price was finally set. One by one, the shops began to come over to collect money from Luke and Tianjinfeng. It took half an hour to finish.
But the workers in charge of the handling were tired enough. So much stuff. Even if they keep moving without resting, it will take them a whole day. Moreover, they are not made of iron. It is simply not possible to sustain such a huge amount of work all the time.
Naturally, Luke was not in a hurry. Just move slowly. I'm sure I'll be able to move it tomorrow. If it really doesn't work, he'll just go and help.
Reuter looked at Luke with a complicated expression at this time. So much supplies. He naturally knew how much money it would need. Every month's purchase details will be handed over to him. The ship's mother is not human. If it's human. A month's worth of food. At most, it is tens of thousands of dollars. More than 100,000 will be up to the sky.
The amount of food that the ship girls eat is not comparable to that of humans. Not to mention the big stomach king in Akagi. Just the battleships. Each one can eat the food of a small squad of human soldiers at every meal. Akagi is even more exaggerated. It's literally enough to top two or three battleships. And that's not even counting what she usually eats. And most importantly, there are now two Akagi in the base.
Even the destroyers and submarines, who have the smallest amount of food, have a lot of food. At least twice as much as the old man he ate. Otherwise, how could there be such a large expense. The two boxes of money Luke had brought with him were enough to use up one and a half boxes. Almost a million of them.
And that's just for this month. Most of the supplies were for the ships under his command. He really didn't know how to thank Luke now. Rather, it was himself. After the post of Governor was gone. Almost useless. I can't even find a place for the ship's girls to stay. He, the governor, has failed in what he did.
Take the cigarette that Luke handed over. Reuter took a deep puff. Half loud before he said to Luke in a deep voice. "Luke. Thank you. ”
"Well. I just don't want to see them starve with you. You're a failure, the governor. In the end, he was kicked down by his own students. You can't get in touch with the council right now. ”
Looking at Congyun and Tianjin Feng, who were directing the workers to carry goods towards the ship in the distance. Luke said, sitting on his suitcase.
"Huh. Oh, yes. They've been planning this for a long time. Most of the Admirals were co-opted by them. It's ridiculous that I, the governor, have been kept in the dark. They also cut off communication with the council. It is estimated that it will not be long before. These guys are going to war with the council. "The parliament controls the minerals and oil wells on the island. It's tantamount to grasping the lifeblood of these admirals.
So some people have long been dissatisfied with this situation of being controlled by others. Although some people have reacted to him before. But he only made a slight mention of it to the council. I didn't expect these admirals to be so radical.
It should be said that they are all young people? There are simply not a few old people left who have survived from the old times to the present. Most of them are also retired in the inland areas of Sing Tao. The one who is still fighting on the front line is his old antique.
"These guys. I won't think about it. What's good to fight up. No one wants to go overseas to see it. All staring at this little part of the island. "The minerals and oil fields on this island are finite. Although it has not been mined for so many years. But apparently there is no successor now.
Otherwise, the supplies distributed to these admirals would not have become less and less. Luke noticed. Lillian's supplies for the month. It's almost jammed tightly. There's a lot of food and stuff. But fuel and ammunition were barely enough.
Hear Luke's words. Reuter shook his head. "Ten years ago, I wanted to explore overseas as well. And there weren't many admirals who had the same idea as me at the time. We had a large number of admirals who wanted to explore overseas. Departure with their respective shipwives. As a result, it was beaten by the overwhelming deep sea. Many admirals died in that quest. ”
"I was fine. Because they were just following the rear of the large army. Fleeing back in a panic. That one exploration. We've lost too many high-tier ships. since. No one ever mentions overseas exploration anymore. Reuter had a decadent look on his face. Shaking his head and sighing.
"And then you got an Admiral Academy. Begin to train new Admirals. How much of the deep sea did you see at that time? I guess I crashed into the lair of the deep sea. Luke wondered if the guys had crashed headlong into the densest part of the depths. If the deep sea really has as much as he says. I really don't know how many years it has been. Why hasn't Star Island been conquered by the deep sea?
"Maybe. But since then. The Council also never allowed the Admiral to explore overseas. All the admirals were in their respective towns. Respond to several deep-sea intrusions per year. Even so. Every year, there are also some admirals who are killed by attacks from the deep sea. Until now. There are fewer and fewer young people who want to be admirals. He shook his head. Follow this trend. Sooner or later, Star Island will be occupied by those deep seas.
Or before that. The resources on Star Island are depleted. The shipwives have no resources. Naturally, there is no ability to resist the deep sea. The result is still the same.
"That's not right. Isn't there a big island in the northern part of Star Island? And the TV signal here is also coming from that side. Why didn't you even think to contact that side? "Luke knows. The big island in the north is obviously more developed than the one on the planetary island. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as a TV station.
Sing Tao doesn't even have a regular TV station. The only one was only made up by the Parliament. Not to mention the poor signal. And there is no show. At most, it is to report to the people about the situation in the deep sea. Remind people everywhere to evacuate in time or something.
"Our original exploration was to the north. It's a pity......" Reut shook his head. He threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and stepped on it.
Seeing Reut's expression. Luke knew what was going on even if he didn't ask. He immediately stood up and stretched. "Alas. We'll talk about that later. I can't sit still. You can rest here. I used to move my body. ”
"Oh." Reut, who was sitting in place, was a little stunned and responded. Get moving. What is he going to do.
Soon, though. And he saw it. Luke, this guy. I actually walked to the place where a large pile of crates was piled up. It was filled with vegetables from the merchants and something. Boxes and boxes of goods. Stacked higher than the Lukes.
Immediately, the sight in front of them made the eyes of Reut and the porters resting next to them bulge. Luke's guy pulled a trailer from the side. Hug your hands. That's seven or eight big boxes. But he looked as effortless as holding up an empty tray.
Reuter rubbed his eyes vigorously. Look at the big yodo next to you. There was also a look of disbelief in the other party's eyes.
A thought flashed through their hearts at the same time. Is this still human? ’
