Chapter 349: Forcing the Palace

At the same time, another item came into the eyes of these merchants.

That is, airships!

When they saw the steel airship of the new country, and the supply airship that carried ammunition six hundred kilometers away, all the merchants were keenly aware of this.

It is more than 600 kilometers to transport goods from the 7th to the 9th District, and along the way, whether it is a marauder or a radiant beast, it will cause considerable losses to the passing caravans.

Considering the road conditions of the source star, the cost of anything sold between the two places 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 whether to order a few private airships from the new country's military factories.

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 Singapore, helium is a strategic reserve resource.

Luckily, the berry countries on the other side of the globe are selling helium aggressively.

As a strategic reserve for airships, the helium reserve built by Berry Country occupies 30% of the world's helium reserves.

However, with airships almost out of military use, this reserve consumes a significant amount of maintenance funds each year.

So the Congress made a decision to sell all the helium, and this resolution also made the international market helium extremely cheap, far less than 20 times its actual value.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Yuanneng can easily get a large amount of helium to subsidize the production of Yuanxing.

But if the production of civilian airships is opened, the liquid helium he brought from the other side of the earth is still a little insufficient.

There are almost 500 chambers of commerce in the long-distance transportation business of the new state, 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, Xu Yuan has no intention of letting go of helium resources for the time being.

However, after consideration, Xu Yuan still made a decision remotely.

That is to set up two air flights between the 9th and 7th districts, and two new large airbag airships with a deadweight of 300 tons will be built for the operation of the flights.

This route will complement the land trade routes, providing paid freight services to 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.

When this news was announced, everyone celebrated!

Supplies have arrived again.

The Gree Federation and the Ghana Federation are still facing off, and the plantation rebels are struggling to support themselves under the siege of the regular army of the Gree Federation.

Because of the arrival of the new country, the entire seventh arrondissement is simply a mess.

However, on the other hand, the Gree Federation is hot, and the area under the control of the new country is unique.

The farm has been restored, and the survivors who were once Fallout slaves have turned over to become masters and built houses in the designated residential areas.

Inside the farm, merchants in suits and leather shoes can occasionally be seen, strolling around in the company of several mercenaries.

Most of them were investors from the 9th arrondissement, who were lucky enough to buy land from the bank, and almost as soon as they got the land certificate, these businessmen eagerly boarded the newly opened airship flight and rushed here 600 kilometers away.

Cement, steel, graphene pipes and other building materials were also brought here.

The walls of the farm have been reinforced, a small market has been erected, the seeds of order have been sown, and it is believed that it will not be long before the sprouts of prosperity will be brought back to the place.

While the farm was being rebuilt drastically, the overwhelmed Gree Federation finally sent an envoy to Xu Yuan, expressing the Gree Federation's desire for peace.

However, where would Xu Yuan, who was in an advantageous position, agree?

"Let your president come to me, or let him beg for his own blessings." Facing the messenger who knelt on one knee, Xu Yuan said.

If he knew him well enough to agree to join the banner of the new kingdom voluntarily, there was nothing wrong with letting him continue to be the 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 House of Elders and the president are extremely angry at Xu Yuan's "arrogance".

"These rats are simply too deceitful!"

Throwing the cup on the ground, the president got up and cursed.

"President, you are angry, as long as we mobilize our troops, we will definitely be able to eradicate these foreign bandits!"

"That's arrogant! Is it true that there is no one in our Gree Federation? ”

"But the troops of the Ghanaian Federation are still ...... across the river," someone whispered as he reminded.

As soon as these words came out, the indignant elders in the capital suddenly became like deflated balls, and they could no longer say a word.

Oh, yes...... The threat to the Gree Federation is not only from the new country, but also from the Ghana Federation west of the border.

Without the vassal of the Gru tribe, the Gree Federation itself was already at a disadvantage in the face of the Ghana Federation, and now it was facing the threat of a new country.

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

The president was silent, looking at the elders with a grim face.

These wastes are better than monkeys when discussing how to spend the money of the state treasury, and they are more beautiful than anyone else in their tax accounts, and they are not far behind in their means of intrigues.

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

"Speaking of which, where did Jiang Tao go?" At this moment, an elder suddenly spoke up.

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

"That's right! Where did that idiot go, why didn't he see others! ”

"Arrest him! If it weren't for that fool's bad idea, our two corps would still be fighting the people of the new country on the front line, and they would have been dragged away from the plantation! ”

"That's it!"

Unable to think of a solution to the immediate difficulties, the elders focused all their attention on throwing the pot.

Even though they knew that it meant nothing to save the 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 president felt more and more that it was indeed a matter of time.

If Jiang Tao hadn't suggested to him that he should take the heads of the plantation slaves to appease the people of the Gelug tribe, where would the current situation evolve.

And he didn't come to the capital today to discuss matters, so he must have realized his sins.

Thinking of this, the president looked at the chief of guard beside him with a gloomy face.

"Pass my order, arrest Jiang Tao, and his wife and daughter will be reduced to slavery."

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

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

"Don't bother, I'm right here."

I saw the figure of Patriarch Jiang Tao standing at the door.

And next to him, there was a person who was no stranger to anyone present!

That's the commander of the Third Legion of the Empire, the High-Speed Rail Army!

The atmosphere in the capital dropped to freezing point, and the moment Jiang Tao's pot-bellied figure appeared at the door, the expression of disbelief froze on the faces of all the elders.

"High-speed rail army? What are you doing here? The emperor frowned, looked at the high-speed rail army standing at the door of the main hall, and asked in a cold voice.

"Your Excellency the President, don't you understand? I thought Your Excellency was a man of understanding. ”

Jiang Tao's pair of small eyes swept over the elders with a smile, and finally stopped at the president's face.

How many years.

He has been excluded from the center of power in the Federation of Ghana, and no matter how many times he changes, the position of Chan Rang is out of his reach.

But now, the elders in power looked into his gaze, but they were all filled with fear.

Looking directly into the eyes of the high-speed rail army, the president whispered, "Take him down." ”

However, the Legion Commander, who had been loyal to the Gree Federation, was indifferent.

His reaction confirmed the president's suspicion that the Third Legion, stationed in the capital, had defected.

This brave and warlike legion was once the pride of the Gree Federation, but the president never imagined that the legion commander appointed by him would stand here at this moment.

The president's throat was a little dry, but in the end he managed to squeeze out three words.

"Why?"

"Invincible." The answer of the high-speed rail army is also three words.

As a soldier who had fought countless battles, he had a better grasp of the battlefield than anyone else in the capital.

When he saw the overwhelming ***, he already understood that this war was an asymmetrical war from the beginning.

The only chance for the Gree Federation to win is to launch a general assault on the new military outposts while the new country is pouring ammunition on the Gru tribe.

However, the wolf smoke of the uprising has cut off the last breath of the Gree Federation.

The slaves on the plantations rose up, and the two corps on the front had to return to defense.

The Ghanaian Federation waited for an opportunity to contain the forces of the Empire's First Legion, and at this moment the Gree Federation had missed all the time to attack the outpost of the new country.

When the rocket artillery of the new country is resupplied and the mass shells of the electromagnetic cannon are reloaded, the Third Army stationed in the capital is just waiting for death in the face of the new country with absolute superiority in firepower.

It only takes 1,000 rounds to destroy the entire capital as long as they want***.

The high-speed rail army believes that they still have this ammunition.

"That's it?" The president said with difficulty.

Gao Tiejun no longer looked at the president's eyes, but lowered his eyebrows, and said slowly: "Please abdicate Your Majesty." ”

"What if I say no?" The president narrowed his eyes and gestured to the guards beside him.

"I'm sorry, I just want to live with my brethren." Gao Tiejun raised his head and put his hand on his waist.

The president's pupils constricted.

Behind the high-speed rail army, soldiers with guns have already stepped into the capital!
