Chapter 571: Waiting for the Battle
"It's true," Zheng Yi interrupted him and said with certainty.
Zhao Qiang turned to look at him with a smile on his face and asked word by word, "Major General Zheng, are you sure?"
"Sure!" Zheng Yi nodded to the guard standing at the door. The guard went out for half a minute and was followed by several soldiers coming in, carrying an instrument and a thick stack of documents in their hands.
"This is the contact information handled by all communicators before and after the war, including the conditions for each base to join the anti-zombie alliance."
Zheng Yi asked the people to pile the things directly in front of Zhao Qiang, "Captain Zhao, you can take a look. Of course, if you have any opinions, you can also take a closer look."
"The requirements for each base are the same: 20,000 B+ level psychics, and self-provided weapons."
"But the Yuebanwan base is unwilling to share the technology of breeding babies, so they have set requirements on the price of psychics. An A+ level psychic costs 7,000."
"The other S-class psychics have different hiring prices, and the other weapons can be purchased in part and rented in part."
At this time, Zhao Qiang was so angry that he could hardly suppress his expression because of the documents that Zheng Yi had pushed directly in front of him.
He was thinking about so many crystal cores, but he didn't want to break up with Yuebanwan openly. He just wanted to reap the benefits.
Zheng Yi's attitude of approaching him directly without going through Lu Xiao was almost telling everyone that he was the man behind the scenes.
He could already feel the inquiring gazes of several base leaders whom he had secretly notified, as if they were considering whether he had done it.
This made him feel like he didn't know whether to look or not, but when he thought of so many high-level crystal cores, he still wanted to struggle.
Reaching out and flipping through it briefly, he frowned and said, "Since Mr. Zheng made the decision on behalf of the Kyoto base, we have no intention of disapproving it. It's just that Kyoto does not have so many S-level crystal cores."
"I understand. 370 S-grade crystal cores are a bit too many. According to the exchange rate we agreed upon, half of them can be exchanged for A-grade crystal cores," Xu Sa said with a smile.
Zhao Qiang felt as if his breath was stuck in his throat, neither going up nor down. In order to avoid the possibility that they would be reluctant to give up the S-level crystal core, Yuebanwan had customized the exchange rate to be extremely high. Every exchange was a huge loss.
Zhao Qiang really couldn't say the word "good".
It had been a long time since he had felt such chest pain from being angry.
Still not strong enough!
Zhao Qiang's eyes stayed on his hands, and he clenched his teeth unconsciously.
Perhaps it was because of the rumored huge amount of crystal cores, when the leaders of the various bases heard this number, they actually felt that it was not so bad.
"Excuse me!" Zhao Qiang resisted silently. While Xu Sa was waiting calmly, Wen Jing, who had been silently paying attention to everything in the corner, suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.
Xu Sa and Li Yan looked at each other and became alert - according to their calculations, the base that the people behind the scenes would most likely unite with would be Changhong, after all, everyone knew that it had a grudge against Yuebanwan.
Now, there is still Shanxi Province which has already emerged, and the other three provinces of Pingjin can hardly be considered. As for Mengbei, Anjiang and Cangnan, they are the most difficult to persuade. The three persons in charge are all old foxes and calm. They will not release the eagle until they see the rabbit. When they are not sure, they will just watch how things develop silently.
Therefore, Xu Sa took the initiative from the very beginning and also wanted to show their three bases that our base has the confidence.
Hearing the powerful Wen Jing speak, countless ways of responding quickly flashed through his mind.
"I'd like to ask, since the Yuebanwan base does not share the technology of cultivating fetuses, what are the conditions for you to come and support?" Wen Jing had already calculated the expenses in his mind when he saw those negotiations. When he heard Xu Sa say this amount, he realized that this amount was simply the cost of hiring various weapons and high-level psychics, and did not include the most basic support troops at all.
We already knew they didn't want to share technology, so would they unconditionally waste manpower and resources just to join the anti-zombie alliance for nothing?
Wen Jing felt that no one in Yuebanwan would be so selfless.
Xu Sa raised his eyebrows, and before he could answer, he heard Zheng Yi say, "Sorry, this is confidential information between Kyoto Base and Yueban Bay."
After the war, everyone has been busy rebuilding the base. No one's attention has shifted to the fetal experiment, and no one has asked to go and see it. Naturally, no one knows the cost of cultivating a fetus. Zheng Yi does not want this news to leak before the anti-zombie alliance is stabilized.
Xu Sa spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless.
However, since he also wanted the anti-zombie alliance to be successfully established, in order to prevent Wen Jing from thinking too much, he made an excuse, "Our base has been conducting research on reproductive breeding, so we have our own ways. This technology is not necessary for us."
Wen Jing understood and raised his hand to signal them to continue.
Xu Sa nodded and turned the topic back to the crystal cores, asking the leaders of the three Kyoto teams, "Since everyone has no objection to these crystal cores, when will they be in place?"
He kindly reminded, "The final payment deadline of the agreement is approaching."
"You have seen the current situation in Kyoto. Everything is in depression. Reconstruction requires crystal cores. I'm afraid... it will be difficult to pay in full." Zhao Qiang was still unwilling and still wanted to struggle.
"I understand." Zhao Qiang found Xu Sa's words incredible. He then smiled and asked, "Then how much do you think is appropriate to pay, Chief Zhao? The remaining..."
"Should we ask Chief Inspector Zhao directly for it?"
Zhao Qiang was choked again and was speechless. Even Zheng Yi and Lu Xiao wanted to watch the fun.
After all, Kyoto is not centralized, and the only supplies now are the crystal cores that have been recovered. Except for those given to Yueban Bay and used for base construction, the rest will definitely be divided among several teams. If it is not settled now, the teams will only pass the buck in the future, and the possibility of getting it again is extremely low. .
What Zhao Qiang said was tantamount to denial.
Seeing that Zhao Qiang didn't say anything, Xu Sa looked at the other two, "What do you think?"
"We really don't have that many high-level crystal cores. Can we use B-level and C-level crystal cores to make up for them?" There are many loopholes in the cooperation with Kyoto, and Zheng Yi doesn't want to argue any more.
"This..." Xu Sa looked at Li Zhuang.
As Li Zhuang listened to these people arguing, what came to his mind was the figure who was sleeping alone and becoming thinner and thinner thousands of miles away.
When he was here, not to mention Kyoto, all the bases in the country were respectful to their base. Even if they had any dissatisfaction, they only dared to use covert means. A situation like this, where they were planning to default on their debts, would never happen.
He really held up the entire base with his own strength, and his thin shoulders firmly fulfilled his responsibilities as the captain. But now, he had just fallen, and they actually let the base that he had worked so hard to protect be so... despised.
Yes, this was the first word that came to Li Zhuang’s mind.
Zhao Qiang's procrastination and Zheng Yi's seemingly agreeing but immediately covering up for Zhao Qiang all showed that they thought Yueban Bay was not so intimidating to them anymore.
Li Zhuang sneered, thinking that he had been indulged in being protected for too long and could actually be treated like this.
"Two hundred S-grade ones, the remaining one hundred can be exchanged for A-grade ones, and the rest for B-grade ones. Don't take C-grade ones," Li Zhuang said. Seeing that Zhao Qiang wanted to speak more, he interrupted him neatly, "If that doesn't work, then... all S-grade ones as agreed."
Li Zhuang leaned on the sofa like a boneless person, and said leisurely, "If you don't agree..."
"Then let's get started." He stood up and stretched. His joints crackled as if a rusty skeleton was restarting. His lazy aura changed instantly, like a dusty sword being unsheathed.
Several base leaders didn't expect him to be so direct. They thought he was going to attack, so they were on guard when they heard him give a clear order, "Everyone in Yueban Bay, prepare to fight!"
"Air Force Combat Team received!"
"Army Combat Team Received"
"Peace Team received!"
"Frost will receive it!"
"COFCO team received it!"
"Miracle Team received!"
…
There were responses coming from him, and amidst everyone's alert and tense bodies, Li Zhuang smiled and said, "Don't be nervous."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "report" coming from the door. Without waiting for a reply, someone pushed the door open and hurriedly said to Zheng Yi, "Report to the Major General, there is a fighter plane circling over the base, the muzzle position..."
Before he could continue, Zheng Yi had already seen it from the window.
In the air outside the window, more than a dozen enemy fighter planes were hovering in the sky as if they were doing some kind of demonstration, making various flying maneuvers from time to time, but half of their guns were always pointed in this direction.
Zheng Yi squinted his eyes and looked towards the temporary base of Yueban Bay in the distance. The originally idle crowd there had now shed their laziness and were arranged in neat teams. The psychics and armed personnel cooperated with each other, moving quickly towards the direction of the meeting room as if they had practiced countless times.
Zheng Yi now truly believed that the so-called exercises that took place in Yueban Bay before were real.
And they are really prepared for a war.
Even if some people were prepared for the possibility of taking action, no one expected that they would be so reckless and turn against each other. The negotiations hadn't even started yet and there was no sign at all. Even Xu Sa and Li Yan were stunned.
The two men quickly came to their senses, and Liu Rui stood up at the same time and stood back to back with Li Zhuangcheng, ready to be on guard against everyone in the meeting room at any time.
"Deputy Captain Li, it shouldn't be that serious..." Zheng Yi stepped forward to smooth things over.
"As for," Li Zhuang sneered with one corner of his mouth, "I'll put it here today. This is the condition. If you are not satisfied with anything, just fight back."
Li Zhuang's eyes seemed to be scraping across everyone's face with a knife, and he sneered, "Do you really think there is no one else in Yueban Bay except Lu Weiyi? You want to come and step on everything?"
If Zheng Yi really wanted to promote the establishment of the Anti-Zombie Alliance and end this matter quickly, then Li Zhuang's arrogant attitude at this time made him hesitate.
The Yuebanwan base with two SS-level psychics can do this, so what will they do with so many crystal cores and more SS-level psychics?
