Chapter 690: Star Region Rich in Food

After that, Liu Cheng sent a communication to Garyway, specifically talking about Dasha, and asked Garyway for him.

Garyway replied:

"I thought it was a big deal.

According to Dasha's experience, he could have applied for early discharge.

Let him submit the application process, and I will notify the people below to approve it immediately."

After doing all this, Liu Cheng asked Ghost to take Dasha on the spacecraft and return to the headquarters of Aocheng Group to recuperate and learn about the situation of Aocheng Group.

Dasha's IQ is somewhat flawed after all, and Liu Cheng thinks it is better to let Ghost take him for a while.

Besides, Liu Cheng thinks Dasha has good potential and will definitely be entrusted with important tasks in the future.

Since he will work with Ghost and others sooner or later, he might as well start to cultivate feelings in advance.

It can also be regarded as some efforts to make Dasha forget those unhappy things.

A month later, the defense line of Energy Planet No. 1 was consolidated, and no new level 7 alien creatures appeared on the front line.

Liu Cheng followed the usual practice and exchanged identities with his clone on Black Stone Star, and went to handle the government affairs accumulated this month.

He still returned to Aocheng Group first to see the group's operations.

Then he went to the government building to listen to the ministers and officials of various departments report on the affairs of the Black Gold Alliance.

It was not much different from what he thought more than a month ago.

After the new immigration policy was announced, Black Stone Star's talents and military forces were greatly supplemented.

In addition to the money that immigrants bid to buy quotas, plus the added value of black gold ore barter.

The increase in expenses of Aocheng Group's high-priced purchase of large quantities of grain was balanced with the previous two parts of increased income.

"Recently, the star field where we often buy food has suddenly raised the price of food.

The price increase is far higher than the normal price of other star fields, which is obviously not a normal business behavior.

It is an act of taking advantage of us after seeing that our Black Sand Star Field is so short of food on the front line.

I took the initiative to ask Fat Tiger and others to go to a farther star field to buy food and transport it back without your consent."

Ryan reported to Liu Cheng.

The star field that suddenly raised the price of food is the star field next to the Black Sand Star Field, close to the direction of the central star field.

Liu Cheng remembered that it was a star field that produced food and was controlled by an interstellar noble family. It was also a non-direct star field of the United Government member country like their Black Gold Alliance.

Liu Cheng did not blame Ryan, he also felt that Ryan made the right decision.

Said:

"There is nothing wrong with your decision.

I remember that before the establishment of the Black Gold Alliance, when the United Government was still secretly blocking the trade of the Black Stone Kingdom, this star region often took advantage of the situation to rob.

We purchased black gold ore from the Black Stone Kingdom at a 20% discount, and sold some necessary materials to the Black Stone Star at a price more than five times the market price.

I didn't expect that now it is a period of total war, and not only do they not support the Black Sand Star Region that helps them block the front line, but they are also taking advantage of us.

This kind of ungrateful wolf can never be tamed.

The more you feed them, the bigger their appetite will be, and they don't know what gratitude is.

Even if it is The cost of long-distance transportation is more expensive, but I think it is worth it.

Moreover, the energy consumption cost of transporting food by Fat Tiger is far less than the increase in the price of food they are selling.

If it were me, I would also arrange it this way. ”

Ryan said:

“That’s true, but if we didn’t occupy half of Energy Planet No. 1 and have sufficient energy ore supply.

We would have to compromise like the Black Stone Kingdom before and buy materials from neighboring star fields at high prices. ”

Liu Cheng nodded. At present, they have solved one of the two problems raised by Gary Wei, the energy attack problem.

The food problem still relies on large-scale imports, and no fundamental solution has been found.

Fortunately, the current war situation is relatively stable.

This has to mention the star map position of the Black Sand Star Field.

If the Black Sand Star Field is placed in the middle for comparison, the Black Sand Star Field borders four star fields in total.

Behind it is the star field of the member country that took advantage of the fire to rob the food price.

On the lower left is a star field that is at the forefront of the battle line, just like the Black Gold Alliance, and is controlled by interstellar nobles and has a regular army garrisoned by the United Government.

Above is a star field that is directly under the United Government and directly governed by a special councilor and military high-level officials.

This star field wraps up the upper, right and front half of the Black Sand Star Field, isolating it from the star field star field controlled by the Terra Zerg.

And it has the deployment of two regular army groups, which is a natural protective barrier for the Black Sand Star Field.

In other words, the direction in which the Black Sand Star Field can directly face the threat of the Terra Zerg is the star field position in the front and lower direction of the star map.

For the strength of Gary's 9728 Corps, the Alliance Army and the Aocheng Group Mercenary Force.

Defending such a large star field area can just barely resist the attack of the Terra Zerg.

What Liu Cheng hopes now is that there will be no trouble in the three star fields adjacent to him.

Therefore, the price increase of food by the member country hiding in the rear was temporarily tolerated.

......

On the other side, adjacent to the Black Sand Star Region, in the star region behind the battle with the Terra Zerg, on the main star.

A luxuriously dressed interstellar noble was sitting in the highest room of the palace.

Below his throne, a large number of suspended vehicles loaded with food were seen heading to the interstellar noble's royal warehouse.

He said to his trusted ministers:

"Is it money that really makes people listen to you?

No!

Look at what money can buy in this war period?

Almost nothing!

Is it force?

Maybe.

But as long as the difference in force is not too big, your slaves and your enemies will not dare to easily resist and offend you.

I'll tell you what is important in this chaotic world.

It's resources!!

Without energy, no matter how many warships there are, they can't fly, they are all a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron.

Without weapons and equipment, no matter how many soldiers are recruited, they can't form combat effectiveness.

But except for some specific weapons and equipment, most of them can be manufactured everywhere.

Therefore Strictly speaking, weapons and equipment are not the most important resources.

Without food, everyone will starve to death.

Therefore, food and energy are the most important strategic resources above all else! "

After saying that, the interstellar noble raised his glass and took a sip, then looked at his trusted minister and continued:

"The planetary climate conditions of our entire star field can be said to be unique, with enough food production to feed dozens of star fields.

But a large production does not mean a large supply.

You see, I stored all the food in the royal granary, and only distributed a small amount of food to these slaves and other star fields, and they all knelt down to beg me.

This is called conquering the enemy without fighting!"
