[Chapter 450 The Oil Caravan of the Desert Kingdom]
Workers and soldiers stayed in the rough rock canyon, desperately engaged in construction and security.
And Robb accompanied Lillian in a big circle, and after the nobles who came to travel also circled in this dilapidated canyon, everyone was ready to return to West Wind Town.
A group of people returned to the train and sat down gracefully, the nobles held their tea cups again, and the train driver was planning to restart the train.
At this moment, Elsie’s big tank suddenly moved, the barrel swiveled and aimed in the direction of the north of the canyon, and the soldiers around him suddenly became vigilant.
Someone shouted: “There are people from the north, there are many people, it’s a big team!”
“Send a few people over to see!”
“I’ll use reconnaissance to see, ah, it’s not the enemy, it’s a caravan ”
It’s a caravan from the desert kingdom, from the Madara family.”
When he heard this, Robb was happy, but he was in the shape of Robert Smith now, and it was inconvenient to go out to talk, so he had to face The baron Nuo Lun winked, the latter understood, jumped off the train with a swipe, and said loudly: “The military affairs are handled by Captain Elsie, but the commercial affairs, I will do my part. Come on, let me meet this caravan.”
After speaking, he turned around and beckoned to the train: “Conte, Robert, come with you and learn how to do business.”
Robb knew, In fact, he wanted to ask himself to secretly host with the past, but he was afraid that doing so would attract people’s attention and expose Robb’s identity, so he also called Conte the second guy. Everyone knows that this guy Conte has muscles in his skull, and he has no brains at all.
Robb gave Conte a grin, and the two jumped off the train and followed Baron Nolen.
Soon, the caravan of the desert kingdom came to the front. This caravan had a clear desert style. All the goods were big camels, and the merchants all covered their heads and faces in turbans, so they couldn’t see their faces. It can be seen from the family crests embroidered on their clothes that they belong to the Madara family.
The group didn’t expect there were so many people in the rough rock canyon, and even a strange car, which wasn’t the case the last time they came.
The merchants were taken aback, but they recognized Baron Noren and Captain Elsie immediately. After all, after transporting oil to Westwind Town a few times, it was difficult not to recognize these two. A middle-aged man with a shawl and a face covered jumped off the camel and bowed to Captain Elsie and Baron Noron: “You two adults! We are a team from the desert kingdom to deliver oil to Xifeng Town.
Robb didn’t need to speak, Baron Noren asked with a smile: “How much oil did you ship this time?” ”
198 barrels this time!”
“Huh? What is this strange number? 198 barrels is What the hell? Why not two hundred barrels? And the amount is too small.” Baron Noren also knows that oil is the life of a big train. If there is no oil, Godfather will not be able to rub out the two things, diesel and gasoline. , and without these two things, diesel and gasoline engines would be doomed, leaving only the cumbersome and difficult-to-use steam engine.
Now the steam engine is still in Elsie’s tank, because Godfather doesn’t like to see that kind of machine. He also said that the steam engine is the tears of the times, which is very harmful to the environment. If possible, try not to use that thing.
The businessman from the desert said embarrassedly: “Uh, you know, oil is very inconvenient to transport, and all the way is to climb mountains and waters, so we only transported 200 barrels this time, and we didn’t expect to encounter black and white again. There are monsters running rampant in the Pine Mountains… In fact, we were attacked by monsters on the road two days ago. Two barrels of kerosene were ignited and burned by torches thrown by the monsters. Fortunately, we kicked the burning oil barrels away in time. Don’t detonate other oil barrels, otherwise it will be all over.”
“Have monsters become so rampant?” Robb frowned, monsters can wave, but they can’t break their own oil supply lines. Beaten, you know?
He was thinking of this when he heard Elsie loudly say: “Did he get attacked on the way from Crystal Canyon to here? Damn monster, I’m tired of living, even Godfather dares to destroy oil, brothers, stay behind. There are 200 people guarding the original stone canyon here, others will follow me, and we will fight those monsters.”
Elsie led 300 soldiers and rushed out in a hurry…
The merchants from the desert watched Glancing at the distant troops, I felt a lot more stable. If Elsie could clean up the monsters, he would be much safer on his way home.
He said to Baron Noron, “Mr. Baron Noron, what are you doing in the rough rock canyon? And this huge iron car next to it… This is it again?”
Baron Noron smiled without saying a word, with a deep expression on his face Unpredictable pretend expression.
It wasn’t until Robb glared at him that he put down the aristocratic shelf and said to the desert merchant: “Well, it’s really hard for you to transport oil, this stuff is much more difficult to transport than ordinary goods, but don’t worry, next The journey will be much simpler, you can at least save 150 miles.” The oil
merchant Daqi: “???”
Baron Noren smiled: “Put your oil on this big train, just right, the last few days. The carriages are empty.”
When those carriages arrived, they were transporting the materials needed to build small tracks in the mines. After moving down, the carriages were already empty, and now the oil was being moved up barrel by barrel. 198 barrels of oil filled several carriages.
Baron Noren said to the desert merchant: “Leave your camel and caravan in the rough rock canyon to rest. You can bring two followers and follow us to get on the car and go to West Wind Town to meet
Madara .” ?” The desert merchant became more and more confused, and he didn’t understand what happened until Baron Noren pulled him onto the big train and pressed it on a chair, and then the train started and drove out of the rough rock canyon again and again. He couldn’t help shouting in surprise: “Oh, this big car is amazing.”
Baron Noren laughed: “This is the great invention of Godfather in West Wind Town. Of course it is amazing. When have you ever seen Godfather come up with something that is not great?” The
desert merchant was shocked by this great invention. , But Marianne, who was sitting in the car, was thinking to herself: This big train is really powerful. When it comes, it pulls a lot of goods, and when it goes back, it pulls a lot of goods. If the caravans agree on a time, they will Every time the train picks up goods back and forth, it is calculated so that it will not run empty, which can facilitate the purchase and delivery of goods at the same time.
After all, the transportation cost is a cost that cannot be underestimated, and after using this big train, the transportation cost is much smaller. After the goods are transported over long distances, the growth may not increase much, which can easily kill the competitors.
