Chapter 176. Oil Secrets
Shaking the coffee cup in his hand, Liszt's nose sniffed the mellow heat slightly, but the calm in his eyes was like afternoon tea in New York: "Those Soviets and Canadians are my enemies, and I can only fight hard to fight a blood-stained road to survive." And he looked at Captain Owen, and his body also leaned forward slightly, as if he was implicitly pointing: "You know, the more enemies, the more you can survive sometimes." ”
"Of course." Captain Owen nodded subconsciously, facing Liszt, he couldn't help but show a reluctant smile, and at the same time picked up the coffee in his hand, before finally calming down the throbbing in his heart, took a deep breath, and nodded slowly: "This is the territory of Canadians, you should indeed be careful." ”
Liszt smiled, and his words were almost point-in-point, referring to the insulting obliteration of him from within the Enclave by some of the higher-ups who did not like him. Otherwise, he would not have come to this Canadian place, and he would not have succeeded in occupying his own base, and he would have grasped some of the real rights that belonged to him.
Slowly taking a sip of the slightly hot coffee, Captain Owen also felt some deepest fear for the long-known Colonel Liszt in front of him. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, but he still slowly drank the coffee in his mouth, and his eyes were a little impressive, because the more he thought about it, the more information he would get!
He finally knew why the high-ranking person who sent him valued Liszt so much, and even some of the information he had obtained, as well as the overall planning of the high-level federal government in the United States, had made Colonel Liszt, who had pierced into Canadian territory like a nail, a beacon in the eyes of almost everyone. Unconsciously, Liszt turned out to be between forces and forces, between countries and countries. A bargaining chip for a political wrestling, or rather, a trump card!
"Colonel Liszt, I wonder if you've heard of it?"
After pondering his words for a moment, Captain Owen spoke slowly, sipping on the almost sweet greasy coffee. Let his tired body consume as much sugar and calories as possible, and at the same time lower his voice to Liszt: "Near the Anchorage Line in Alaska, an oil field has been discovered, and you know what that means. ”
"Oilfield?" Liszt raised his eyebrows slightly, the oil fields of the Anchorage Line are almost the only new oil fields discovered in the world today, and he certainly knows what this means. Because this represents strategic significance, in the radiation wasteland of the previous life, the reason why the United States and China were able to get along safely for a few years. It is the oil extracted from this oil field that has brought important peace to both sides!
Or in other words, in the wasteland of the previous life, you only need to think carefully to know that the United States relied on the oil from this oil field to successfully delay China's invasion and develop the vital power armor, otherwise the war would have occurred a few years earlier. The terrifying torrent of steel swept across North America, and whether the U.S. federal could withstand it was another story.
"The Anchorage Line discovered an oil field? I thought the world had dried up on oil. ”
A smile slowly appeared. Liszt's eyebrows were also a little pleasant, but his eyes were still calm, like a lake without any waves, looking at Captain Owen, he shrugged his shoulders slightly, and said thoughtfully: "But Alaska is in the middle of the United States and the United States. It's Canada in between. ”
"Now in the middle, there are Soviets."
Captain Owen took a gentle sip of the greasy coffee, but he didn't dislike it in the slightest, this drink can quickly replenish his body energy in the cold, and such extravagant sugar and coffee. It is enough to show that Liszt in front of them does not lack certain materials, at least not as desperately scarce as Liszt said.
A faint smile was revealed, Captain Owen's eyes also looked at Liszt's thoughtful face, raised the coffee in his hand, as if he was drinking in a bar, drank the remaining half in one gulp, and then slowly took a breath of hot air, nodded with considerable satisfaction: "If you and your soldiers can enjoy such a cup of coffee every day, then even if you are Soviets, what can you do?" ”
"I don't really understand."
Liszt also smiled slightly, looking at Captain Owen's slightly smiling eyes, but did not take the initiative to answer his words, and gestured to the Marine who was waiting next to him, and the young man came over with another cup of coffee and handed it to Captain Owen again, and Liszt also smiled lightly: "Is there anything else about me?" ”
"Of course there is your business, and your task will be an amazing feat."
Shaking his head slowly, Captain Owen looked at Liszt, the cup of coffee in his hand did not continue to drink, and his tone had already taken on a little seriousness, he said softly: "The oil pipeline will be laid this year, from Anchorage to Washington, and then throughout the United States." He said solemnly, and also looked at Liszt seriously: "And the oil pipeline will be built on the west side of the Rocky Mountains, and it will also pass through this mountainous area." ”
To transport oil, in addition to pipelines, there are only oil tankers, and the sea surface of the Pacific Ocean has almost been shrouded by Soviet warships, and the oil tankers of the United States Federation are launched into the sea, and a few small accidents will lead to sinking. But this is not necessarily the case if the oil pipelines are opened, and in the territory of the Canadians, no matter how arrogant the Soviets are, they still have to follow the rules of North America.
On paper, the forces of the United States Federation are no less than the torrent of Soviet steel, and even the powerful air force has covered the skies of Canada. As long as the oil pipeline is laid, then even the Soviets can only grit their teeth and bear it, because the high-level politicians on both sides have already negotiated for an unknown number of times because of the Anchorage oil field.
"If you stay here and protect the safety of the oil pipelines, then the U.S. federal government will be responsible for everything."
Captain Owen's face was extremely serious, and he couldn't even find the slightest hint of conspiracy and weirdness, especially those eyes, which looked at Liszt with solemnity. Because what he said was the truth, and it was also the historical plan that Liszt understood, Captain Owen still said sincerely: "If you want, Nevada Air Force Base will be your backing forever."
