“Tell me about the plan…”
” We can set up mines on their paths…”
” Then, fire a round of mortars…”
“Let the soldiers ambush on both sides of the road outside the base and launch rockets to as a wave of firepower…”
The commander gave a battle plan.
Zhao Yu felt a headache coming on.
“We don’t have that many cannonb.a.l.l.s!”
He was still in the stage of lacking the raw materials to make cannonb.a.l.l.s.
“Commander. If we retrieve all the ammunition we have, we can create the sh.e.l.ls we need…”
Zhao Yu glanced at the data provided by the commander. To gather enough ammunition for the upcoming battle, he would need to recycle seventy to eighty thousand bullets, virtually depleting his reserves.
After a moment’s hesitation, he agreed.
If he could win, he would be able to seize ammunition from the enemy.
“How long until the enemy arrives?”
“Half an hour…”
“You handle the preparations. Call back all the guards from the military base and the resident area…”
This battle was crucial for the survival of the base, and Zhao Yu didn’t want to lose. He planned to use every available resources.
Of course, if he did end up losing, he would immediately transform the base into a mobile form and escape without a second thought.
“d.a.m.n it, if we’re going to fight, let’s go big!”
Zhao Yu was determined, directing people to drive dozens of vehicles, along with the firearms he had confiscated over the past few days and the ones he had made himself, and quickly headed towards the east gate.
When he arrived at the east gate with great momentum, Eagle had already received the news and gathered a large number of armed men, all ready for action.
“Centurion Zhao, we have always kept to ourselves. What are you planning to do with such a big movement?”
Eagle called out nervously from several dozen meters away.
He hadn’t expected Zhao Yu who had just been suddenly bring so many vehicles. He was unsure of Zhao Yu’s intentions.
“Eagle, I have a big deal to discuss with you!”
To show his sincerity, Zhao Yu stepped out of the convoy with just a few people.
Eagle hesitated but didn’t dare to shoot. After giving a few quick orders, he also stepped forward with a few men.
“I’m about to fight a battle with another force and urgently need ammunition. Whatever you have, I’ll buy it all!” Zhao Yu got straight to the point.
The people from Wild Wolf Town were almost there, and he didn’t have time for lengthy explanations.
“Ah?”
Eagle was stunned, not expecting Zhao Yu’s visit to be for a transaction.
“Don’t dawdle on it. Cars, machine guns, rifles, or food – whatever you want, I’ll sell!” Zhao Yu urged.
Eagle was unsure whether Zhao Yu was serious or not. “Who are you fighting against?”
“Wild Wolf Town!”
“What?!” Eagle was shocked. How had Zhao Yu gotten involved with a local power like Wild Wolf Town?
“Just tell me how much ammunition you have for sale. I’ll take all types, no matter what the bullets are!”
“This…”
“Thirty thousand rounds of ammunition, two missiles of unknown type that we picked up from an abandoned military base…”
“You have missiles?!”
Zhao Yu was not expecting such good fortune.
No matter the type, as long as he could recycle them, he could remake them into usable missiles.
“Tell me what you want…”
“We… can we discuss it?”
Zhao Yu didn’t want to haggle and directly said, “Ten vehicles, a hundred rifles, ten machine guns for your thirty thousand bullets and those two missiles. How about that?”
Eagle was surprised by the generous offer. They had privately asked around about the missiles, and no one wanted them.
They were reluctant to discard them, so they had been stored in the outskirts of their camp.
“DEAL!” Eagle quickly nodded, fearing Zhao Yu might change his mind.
“Then let’s get started!”
Zhao Yu directly commanded his men to bring over ten vehicles and drop them off, followed by a hundred rifles and ten machine guns.
Eagle also hurried back and soon brought the two missiles and all the bullets.
Zhao Yu’s eyes lit up when he saw the missiles – they were three meters long, big enough for his needs!
The exchange was quickly made and without wasting any time, he took the ammunition and missiles back to the base.
Eagle and his men were left looking at each other, then broke into ecstatic smiles.
“We have cars now!”
“But it seems there’s not much gasoline left in the tanks…”
UUL IL dCCllld L11CLC O HUL gaOV/llilC 1C1L 111 L11C LdillYO…
“No problem, with cars, who worries about gasoline?!”
Back at the base, Zhao Yu swiftly sent the collected bullets and two missiles into the recycling furnace of the Munitions Factory.
He soon saw many new weapons and equipment appear in the previously exchange list, including fighter jets.
But currently, there were no pilots capable of flying fighter jets, and the fuel consumption was too high.
After a brief selection and communication with the commanders, he was disappointed to find that no one could operate a tank.
He eventually exchanged for a medium-sized reconnaissance and strike drone, eight meters in length, capable of carrying two missiles.
The tens of thousands of bullets he collected were also added to the mortar and rocket launchers..
