It concerns the fate of the entire camel coalition.
Moudaralanele speed was very fast, just half a day of time, and ran tirelessly to the Dragon Village capital.
...
"Your Highness, what is the current state of your food reserves, and how long can they last?"
Looking at the haggard Moudaralanele in front of him, Qian Zhizhong asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, Moudaralanele let out a bitter smile and then said, "Although we have been trying to stockpile more food as much as possible during the past time, due to the bombings and other destructive activities by Black and White Eagle Village and others during this period, the food we currently have in reserve is only enough to last for about a week..."
"..." After listening to what Moudaralanele said, Qian Zhizhong and the others beside Jiao Zhenhai looked at each other, and then all nodded slightly.
This data is almost the same as the information they have.
Previously, the camels have been importing large quantities of grain from all over the world.
Particularly from the Dragon Village.
However, due to the interference and destruction by Black and White Eagle Village, the food reserves in Camel's hand are truly not much.
After a moment of hesitation, Qian Zhizhong spoke again, "How is your readiness for the Sword Twenty battle?"
Sword Twenty?
Upon hearing this name, Moudaralanele was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered and immediately said:
"All ground preparations for the Sword Twenty are complete. The pilots are currently in the final debugging phase of the Sword Twenty. Two rounds of test flights have already been completed, and once the last round of test flights is finished, it can be deployed to the battlefield at any time!"
In theory, after a period of adjustment, the pilots who have qualified for training in Sword Twenty can directly operate the Sword Twenty in the front line after a period of adjustment.
But for Camel, Sword Twenty and Sword Twenty's pilots are too important.
This is their ace in the hole against the Black and White Eagle Village, and there can be no room for mistakes or slip-ups.
Moreover, not only the pilots but also the ground crew are equally important. This is why they have been conducting final flight preparation and debugging during this period.
"Your Highness, with the power of Sword Twenty, as long as your pilots operate without mistakes, it can be said that dealing with Black and White Eagle Village is a piece of cake. I think you don't need to worry about safety issues anymore..."
Looking at Moudaralanele in front of him, Qian Zhizhong smiled.
Hearing this, Moudaralanele let out a bitter smile and said, "Qian, I still have some concerns..."
Although Moudaralanele has watched the training of Sword Twenty multiple times, even multiple times, personally climbed into the cockpit of Sword Twenty.
He can say he knows the performance of Sword Twenty very well.
However, Sword Twenty has never actually been put into combat so far!
More importantly, their pilots are all emergency-trained pilots!
Although these pilots were once elite and ace pilots among the Camel pilots, theoretically speaking, with their previous foundation, as long as they are familiarized with the other advanced functions of Sword Twenty, they can easily adapt to it.
However, this is just theory.
Before seeing tangible results, Moudaralanele has no confidence at all.
It's not that he doesn't believe in his own pilots and Sword Twenty. It's just that this matter is too important to them. As their last card, if it fails, they may truly face an irreversible disaster next!
Seeing this, Qian Zhizhong and others exchanged a glance, then spoke in a low voice:
"What is the purpose of Your Highness's visit this time?"
Hearing Qian Zhizhong's direct question, Moudaralanele fell silent for a moment, then sighed lightly and said:
"Qian, I know your difficulties, and I don't dare to force you to provide us with direct help. I only hope that in the coming time, you can continue to provide us with basic materials such as food, water, and resources..."
At last, Moudaralanele paused for a moment.
He was hesitant.
In the end, he still gritted his teeth and said, "And provide us with mushroom protection!"
Before Qian Zhizhong and others could respond, Moudaralanele continued, "Qian, I believe you can also see that Black and White Eagle Village has already fallen into their final mad state. If everything goes smoothly, we should be able to stop them outside the desert, but stopping them will definitely make them even more mad!"
"It's difficult for us to guarantee that they won't act impulsively and use the mushroom against us directly. So I hope your side can provide us with mushroom protection! We don't need to actually carry out a mushroom equivalent strike against them, just enough to apply the mushroom threat so that they dare not use it against us..."
Mushroom protection?
Hearing these words, Qian Zhizhong and others fell into silence.
Involving the taboo of mushrooms, even they dared not be casual about it.
Their current strength is very strong, sufficient to overthrow any village in the world.
But mushrooms are something that doesn't make sense at all!
Why didn't Black and White Eagle Village take a further step when they made life so difficult for Polar Bears?
The fundamental reason is that Polar Bears have a big guy with one-button restart in their hands!
And this big guy, not only Polar Bears have, Black and White Eagle Village also have.
And the big guy in the hands of Black and White Eagle Village is not inferior to that of Polar Bears, and it may even be more than that.
Although the probability of the capitalist magnates using these big guys is negligible, without any restraint, the probability of them using these things will absolutely soar dramatically!
Particularly when their own interests are significantly affected, or even threatened to their life and death!
In this way, the request for mushroom protection by Camel is no longer difficult to understand……
Who wouldn't be afraid of mushrooms?
Even the Dragon Village itself is afraid of mushrooms!
"Mushroom issues should indeed be properly considered..."
An idea spontaneously popped into the minds of several people.
Before that, although they valued mushrooms, they didn't worry about whether they would be planted mushrooms because everyone had them.
After all, if you can plant, I can too. I can't stop your mushrooms, and you can't stop mine.
So, under the circumstances where neither side can stop the other's mushrooms, no one dares to actually plant them.
However, this is only a last resort!
Kill one enemy and lose one oneself!
Therefore, over the years, whether it's the Dragon Village, Black and White Eagle Village, or Polar Bear Village, they have all been striving to develop anti-wood systems.
Especially Black and White Eagle Village, in order to intercept logs, it even directly deployed air defense missiles right under the noses of the Dragon Village and Polar Bear Village!
And the Dragon Village itself, although not as advanced as Black and White Eagle Village, has also been devoting itself to related research.
However, as of now, they have yet to produce any truly effective results.
"I wonder if electromagnetic guns and laser guns can be used to intercept logs?"
"Surely they can? These weapons intercept missiles so easily, and although the speed of logs is fast, reaching several Mach even up to twenty or thirty Mach, electromagnetic guns and laser guns are faster, so it should not be intercepted."
As the thoughts surged, Qian Zhizhong and the others all unconsciously thought of the two advanced high-energy weapons that Su Heng had developed before.
"Let's try to find Su Heng later..."
...
Shaking his head, Qian Zhizhong shook off the thoughts in his mind. After a moment of contemplation, he said:
"The issue of mushroom protection is of great importance, and we cannot give a reply to Your Highness for the time being. We can only report your request to the higher-ups and let them decide..."
Hearing this, Moudaralanele's face immediately darkened.
Subconsciously, he wanted to say something.
However, all the words were stuck in his throat.
What should I say?
After all, their relationship with the Dragon Village is just a cooperative one.
After all, the Dragon Village's help is a favor, and not helping them is within their rights.
The exchanges between them and the Dragon Village are almost solid transactions.
The Camel tribe offers wealth, and the Dragon Village offers technological products; that's all!
No one owes anyone else.
If the Dragon Village doesn't help them, they can't really do anything to the Dragon Village either, let alone impose any requirements.
At their level, no one is a fool.
Ethical blackmail and other things are basically useless for them, or in other words, besides negative effects, there will be little or no other effects.
Thinking of this, Moudaralanele bitterly laughed and said, "Qian, on behalf of our Sand Camels and the entire Desert Camels, I sincerely ask for your help. Although we know that this request is very troublesome for you, please rest assured that we will never let the Dragon Village suffer a loss. After this matter ends, we are willing to offer 10 trillion Dragon currency gold or oil as compensation. Please consider it carefully and help us. We really appreciate it..."
Finally, Moudaralanele got up directly and performed the highest etiquette of the Camel tribe towards Qian Zhizhong and the others.
Seeing this, the eyes of Qian Zhizhong and others were somewhat complex.
At this moment, in Moudaralanele, they seem to see the shadows of their ancestors and themselves, as well as their predecessors.
The Dragon Village was not this powerful from the beginning.
Just like the Camels now, the Dragon Village has always been walking through fierce storms.
The predecessors of the Dragon Village, like the Camels today, have also repeatedly traveled around the world, seeking various kinds of help from people in power.
The sweat and blood of countless predecessors led to today's Dragon Village!
Thinking of these things, Qian Zhizhong and Qiao Zhenhai exchanged a glance, sighed lightly, and then said:
"Your Highness, as I said before, our authority cannot guarantee anything for Your Highness and your people. I can only try my best to advocate for Your Highness and your people. If possible, I will notify Your Highness immediately..."
Hearing this, Moudaralanele's face immediately showed a joy that could not be concealed: "Thank you, Qian, thank you!"
With unhidden joy, Moudaralanele bowed again to Qian Zhizhong and others.
Although they didn't get guarantees, for Moudaralanele, having this commitment was already the biggest gain.
The identity and status of Qian Zhizhong and others in the Dragon Village are absolutely capable of helping them greatly...
Seeing Moudaralanele's grateful thanks again, Qian Zhizhong and the others sighed again.
However, this time, they didn't say anything else.
Pledging to speak up on their behalf is already their limit, and there is no further capacity or authority for them to guarantee anything.
After all, they need to consider the whole of the Dragon Village, not just personal emotions.
They cannot sacrifice the interests and safety of tens of millions of people in the Dragon Village just because of some emotional touches...
Shaking his head, Qian Zhizhong once again discarded the thoughts in his mind and continued:
"As for the issue of food..."
Hearing Qian Zhizhong's voice, Moudaralanele also recovered and looked at Qian Zhizhong with some nervousness.
Under the gaze of Moudaralanele, Qian Zhizhong continued, "Your Highness, I wonder if you have considered importing food from other villages?"
"Other villages?"
Moudaralanele was directly stunned.
He soon burst into a bitter smile: "Qian, the method you mentioned, we have already considered. But now we are under blockade, and the whole world has been warned by Black and White Eagle Village. Whether directly blocked or deterred by the threat of Black and White Eagle Village, except for your Dragon Village and a few other villages, no one dares to sell food to us."
"And besides your Dragon Village, the other villages that dare to sell food to us have very limited amounts of grain, which is far from enough to meet the entire desert's needs..."
As they say, even if the tiger is dead, its residual influence still exists!
Black and White Eagle, even though they are now in decline, the sun has not yet set!
The accumulated influence over the past few decades is not something that can be eliminated in just a day or two.
Even now, there are still many people who don't believe that Camels can defeat Black and White Eagle Village, such as the Husky Village...
Especially, without the support of Dragon Village, no one would believe that Camels can resist Black and White Eagle!
In response to Moudaralanele's remark, Qian Zhizhong smiled meaningfully and then said, "Then, have you considered the Polar Bear village, Your Highness?"
"Polar Bear?" Moudaralanele once again stunned.
And then, subconsciously bitterly smiling, as the second largest village in the world once, how can they not have contacted?
However, for various reasons, until now, the Polar Bear side has not provided them with any help.
Suddenly, as if he wanted to think of something, Moudaralanele's eyes suddenly flashed with brilliant brilliance: "Qian, are you saying that you are willing to help us..."
Thinking of the possibilities in his mind, Moudaralanele couldn't help but become excited.
In front of Moudaralanele, Qian Zhizhong smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, if it's just about the food issue, I think we should be able to offer assistance. The Polar Bear village has more food than us, and they can also deliver it directly to your hands..."
From a geographical perspective, the distance between Dragon Village and the desert is clearly not as close as that between Polar Bear Village and the desert.
The Polar Bear Village and the Desert Camels are only separated by an inner sea.
Through this inner sea, the Polar Bears can deliver supplies to a Camel family in just a matter of hours.
If traveling on the ground, it would be even closer. As long as they pass through just a few small villages, they can directly reach there.
Moreover, Polar Bear Village is also one of the largest food exporting villages in the world!
Even Dragon Village's upcoming resource trade with Polar Bear Village will include grain!
There are many reasons why the Polar Bear initially refused to trade grain with Camels. It would be hard to explain in just a few words.
But no matter what the reason is, as long as Dragon Village is willing to step forward, the Polar Bear, who is looking for cooperation, will not dare to slight Dragon Village!
Then, the Polar Bear can gain the wealth of the Camels, and the Camels can obtain the grain from the Polar Bear.
As for Dragon Village, although it seems like they haven't gained anything, or even possibly lost some interests, after all, the Polar Bear is not a charity. They can't just help others because of a single word.
However, this loss of interest can bring more benefits to Dragon Village!
Most directly, it's the investments Dragon Village has made in the desert before, as well as the trillions of resources and wealth that the Camels still owe to Dragon Village.
In addition to this, there are the long-term interests of the Camels...
Compared to such huge interests, the loss is insignificant.
And let's not forget that Dragon Village may not actually lose any real interests. After all, the cooperation between Dragon Village and Polar Bear has a lot of room for maneuver...
"Thank you! Qian! Thank you!"
Hearing Qian Zhizhong's response, Moudaralanele stood up again, once more excitedly expressed his thanks.
To this, Qian Zhizhong merely smiled slightly: "Your Highness, you need not be so grateful. In fact, we can only advocate for you. Whether it will succeed or not, it depends on Your Highness and your people..."
Hearing this, Moudaralanele did not feel disappointed but even more grateful:
"Qian, regardless of what, we have to thank you, thank you!"
Moudaralanele was well aware that, although it's just a statement, many things can be decided by a single word. Without that word, you wouldn't be able to accomplish anything, let alone even get through the door!
