Oasis Base is now in a real dilemma.
You need to get involved, but you need to find the right time to get involved.
Before that, they need to actively communicate with the Azure Dragon base and try to shift the pressure.
In addition, it is necessary to stabilize the situation among the three parties and prevent any one party from being driven to a desperate situation and endangering the Oasis base.
So after the White Tiger Base sent people back to their door, Fang Qingdai didn't leave them hanging; she followed the normal procedure and invited them in.
However, the Oasis Base remained unyielding when it came to procuring food supplies.
"We really don't have much food. You all know the current situation. Anyone who has food should stockpile some for a rainy day. The fact that we're willing to give up some is the result of several days of internal debate!"
Mao Min negotiated with a serious expression: "The price of flour is usually lower than that of fuel, but these are special times. We don't want to make a profit from the war. We really have limited reserves and have no other choice."
Mao Min spoke earnestly, as if she had no other choice.
Since the White Tiger Base ultimately decided to negotiate and purchase grain, it means that the other side was also aware of their crisis and was unwilling to be reduced to a desperate last stand unless absolutely necessary.
Therefore, the White Tiger Base is prepared to suffer heavy losses!
Seeing that they couldn't reach an agreement, the people from the White Tiger Base gritted their teeth and said, "Fine, the fuel mine at the border will belong to the Oasis Base starting today, but I have one condition: all our food supplies must be delivered within three days!"
"I need your base commander's personal escort!"
With such a large amount of grain, countless eyes would be watching during the transport, making it virtually impossible to deliver it to the White Tiger Base quietly.
The safest method is for Fang Qingdai, who has a very large space, to personally escort the goods.
Mao Min narrowed her eyes: "That won't do. You have a history of trying to rob our base commander. If we really send our base commander to deliver him, who can guarantee that he will come back safely?"
If a lamb is sent into a wolf's den, can the wolf really resist taking a bite?
The people from the White Tiger Base got anxious: "You're only responsible for selling, not delivery? If the goods can't be safely delivered to us, how can the transaction be considered complete?"
What he said makes sense.
Mao Min frowned and thought for a while, but still decided to report it and let Fang Qingdai make the decision.
After she went to Fang Qingdai's office and explained the White Tiger Base's request, Jing Yi's supernatural abilities surged: "Absolutely impossible!"
"Tell them that we only handle the sales, not the shipping. If they can't accept that, they can terminate the transaction!"
Fang Qingdai hesitated for a moment, then stopped Mao Min: "In that case, I'm afraid we won't be able to stabilize the situation for all three parties."
The Vermilion Bird Base had the advantage of time; they arrived too quickly, swiftly reached a deal, and transported the supplies back. The Oasis Base never expected the Vermilion Bird Base to be so flexible, and the other two sides were naturally caught off guard.
The White Tiger Base is different. Both bases are eyeing him covetously. Once they see that someone from the White Tiger Base has come to his door, he can guess what the White Tiger Base is planning.
In that case, they will definitely arrange for someone to rob them along the way!
If the food purchased by the White Tiger Base is stolen, the White Tiger Base will also be in dire straits. At that time, the Oasis Base, which does not provide assistance, will still bear the brunt of the hatred.
Fang Qingdai sighed. If the base is not strong enough, it will face all kinds of difficulties. If the Oasis Base had the strength of the Azure Dragon Base, the three parties would not dare to press so hard, nor would they frequently test it and try so urgently to force the Oasis Base into the game.
She pondered for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up: "Why don't you give him your suggestion and let him try it out at the Azure Dragon Base first?"
"Lieutenant Wang has ten tanks and five fighter jets under his command. That should be enough to escort a batch of grain, right?"
Mao Min and Jing Yi's eyes lit up: "Great idea!"
"If they are willing to make concessions, the Azure Dragon Base should not refuse to provide an escort."
The purpose of the Azure Dragon Base was deterrence, and with so many eyes watching during the transport, they achieved their goal.
At the same time, escorting naturally requires escort fees. The White Tiger Base will provide a batch of supplies, which can also make up for the losses incurred by the Azure Dragon Base during this trip.
Most importantly, if the team is attacked during the escort, the Azure Dragon Base will definitely retaliate, and the detonating mine will be successfully planted!
Fang Qingdai was calculating, but she was sincere enough. As soon as Mao Min left, she sent her plan to Deputy Wang.
He added, "I suspect your base is also looking for an opportunity to intervene in this chaos. If I'm right, you can go along with it and help us out of this predicament. Oasis Base would be very grateful. If I'm wrong, you can refuse White Tiger Base's request, and we will renegotiate."
After a long pause, Lieutenant Wang replied with a message: "Understood."
Fang Qingdai scratched her head, wondering if this meant she agreed or disagreed.
In short, a response has been taken, and Fang Qingdai can only wait and see how things develop.
Fortunately, she didn't have to wait long. The next day, the people from the White Tiger Base followed Lieutenant Wang back to the Oasis Base!
Fang Qingdai personally greeted the people and led them into the base, asking with a smile, "Have the two sides reached a deal?"
The people from the White Tiger Base looked pleased: "Yes, we also want to thank Chief Qing for showing us the way!"
The White Tiger Base should indeed be happy. This time, they took the initiative to ally with the Azure Dragon Base. If nothing happens during the grain delivery, all will be well. But if something goes wrong, the ones who will take action will be the Vermilion Bird Base or the Black Tortoise Base.
As the client, the White Tiger Base is temporarily aligned with the Azure Dragon Base, thus having a natural protective shield that prevents them from being unfairly blamed.
This means that if something goes wrong, the Azure Dragon Base will take the opportunity to hold the other two bases accountable, and the White Tiger Base will have the chance to take advantage of the chaos and find an opportunity to eliminate one of them!
