He had always been respectful towards the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce before, but after today's battle, respect had turned into awe.

Only by experiencing it yourself can you understand the power of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce!

Not to mention anything else, just based on the reserves of food and weapons in their hands, how many powerful orc warriors can they train!

Bennett's scalp tingled at the thought of that spectacular scene.

But he had no idea that the total number of orcs in the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce was less than two thousand.

Shu Daqiang wasn't quite sure why Bennett was suddenly so polite. He thought he wanted to buy a steam car.

So, seeing that the other party was so eager, Shu Daqiang decided to increase the price a little bit to show respect.

The negotiation process went unexpectedly smoothly. Bennett used several cities as collateral and borrowed another 10 million gold coins!

Of course, it's not cash, and he doesn't need cash. These gold coins can be used as weapons, food and steam cars.

Among them, one thousand steam carriages were purchased, each costing nine thousand gold coins.

In other words, out of the 10 million gold coins in the loan, 9 million were used to purchase steam cars.

Even Shu Daqiang was surprised by the other party's decisiveness.

But it must be said that Bennett's idea was correct. One thousand steam trucks, each carrying ninety to one hundred soldiers, a thousand trucks could carry one hundred thousand soldiers!

This is the entire military force of a small country in the Orc Continent.

With these vehicles, it means that Bennett has the ability to mobilize 100,000 soldiers to launch a raid in a short period of time!

If others want to launch a surprise attack, they may consider many factors, especially the most important food and supplies.

The long journey consumes a lot of physical energy for the orcs. Before reaching the destination, they must rest and even sleep to recuperate. This takes time. After all, war is not a joke. If conditions permit, they must face the battle with the best spirit.

But for Bennett, there is no need to think so much. His orc warriors do not need to expend physical energy, do not need to rest, and do not even need to bring food. They only need to fill their stomachs at the time and eat after returning from the battle.

How terrible this is! Time is life. He has saved so much time compared to others, so he is destined to gain the upper hand and the balance of victory will tilt towards him.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He wished he could get these steam trucks right away, but Shu Daqiang told him not to rush. Although the production efficiency of the entire Far North has been greatly improved, it would take ten days or half a month to produce 3,000 steam trucks with simple functions.

If it is for civilian use, Zhang Feng can modify those early steam cars and it can be used, but this is for military use after all, and it is for orc military use. The functions are not important, but the quality must be reliable.

After all, Zhang Feng still hopes that these steam cars can become famous.

The simpler something is, the more reliable its quality is generally. So in addition to some basic vehicle functions, there is an additional compass, which can be considered an extra gift from Zhang Feng.

At the same time, a civilian version of the steam car also appeared in Danga.

These cars were not newly built, but retired from Hongye City. They belong to the first and second generation steam cars. Now Hongye City has developed to the sixth generation, which can also be regarded as the last generation. Because of the emergence of oil, Zhang Feng has ordered the research of internal combustion engines. As long as the internal combustion engine is manufactured, all steam cars can be retired.

Actually, if steam cars were not bigger, slower to start and slower in speed, they would still be pretty good. But there is no way around it; times have to change and we cannot stand still.

Although these two generations of steam cars have many signs of wear and tear, their quality and comfort are still good. Bennett wants to buy one even if it is small and can carry too few people.

Since they are second-hand cars, the prices are not high. The most expensive car is no more than 5,000 gold coins, and a car of slightly lower quality only costs 2,000 to 3,000 gold coins.

This price is definitely low. Once it appeared in the capital of Danga, it immediately became a hot commodity.

Although none of them know how to drive and have never even sat in one, it doesn't stop them from buying one.

The first batch of thirty cars were gone in just one morning.

Shu Daqiang is also very considerate and provides free driving training services to every Hongye car owner.

Since there are not many cars now, there are not so many rules and regulations when driving. As long as you can drive away and stop, it's fine.

As for the possibility of accidents with pedestrians, it may need to be emphasized for humans, but for orcs, it is not necessary for the time being, because in terms of explosive power, it is not certain who will hit whom when it comes to the strength of this small car and the orcs.

When Shu Daqiang sent the news of the hot car sales to Zhang Feng, Zhang Feng pinched his chin and thought, he felt that it was time to open a car installment plan.

Zhang Feng had no plan to sell these second-hand cars in Buck Kingdom. It's not that no one wanted to buy them. If he really sold them, he estimated that they would be more popular than in Danga City. However, Zhang Feng was already researching internal combustion engines. If these second-hand cars were sold, it would definitely affect the sales of internal combustion engines. There was no need to compete with himself in business.

Used cars are pretty good for sale here.

There are many used cars left in Buck Kingdom now, and they will probably be sold for a while.

So, Zhang Feng asked Cat-Eared Girl to tell Shu Daqiang about the idea of ​​car installment payment.

Shu Daqiang is very smart and understands it immediately.

He admired Zhang Feng even more. How did he come up with such a thing?

However, the installment period for the car certainly cannot be as long as Hyundai’s. Zhang Feng set it to one year, which is divided into twelve installments.

The handling fee is slightly higher than that of a loan, but it is within everyone's affordability.

After all, the minimum down payment is 600 gold coins, and you can drive the car home. If you round it off, it’s almost free!

There are also many smart and wealthy orcs. Seeing the down payment price is so low, they immediately start to make reservations, and the number is not small. They think very clearly that the popularity of steam cars is obviously very high now. If they set up a manned service, wouldn’t it be very profitable? With the participation of these clever orcs, the second-hand cars eliminated by Hongye City are becoming more and more popular.

Even Shu Daqiang was cunning enough to secretly promote it in Danga, saying that owning a car is prestigious and it is a symbol of wealth.

As a result of his actions, some people had to buy the car even if they didn't want to. Even some orcs who only had enough money for the down payment wanted to grit their teeth and buy a car. No matter where you are, competition exists.

However, Zhang Feng also has a bottom line. Generally speaking, he will not cheat the poor. He is very strict in reviewing car installments. If it is determined that the applicant is unable to pay the installments, the staff will not approve it.

Just when steam cars became a trend in Danga, King Bennett, who had been eager for a long time, finally got his dream steam truck.

When Bennett saw the rows of tall black trucks parked in the military camp, he was instantly filled with pride.

With these, he can not only get a good ranking in the war, but even create history for the Danga Kingdom!

After more than ten days of intense training, Bennett set out again.

This time, he brought an army of 200,000 orcs. There were only more than 100,000 orc soldiers left in Danga. This was a very risky behavior.

Although orcs are naturally good at fighting, and ordinary civilians can become warriors as long as they pick up weapons, the problem is that civilians are not stupid. If others really invade and the enemy massacres them, they will naturally resist. If the enemy wants to subdue them, they will definitely not resist. After all, compared with their own lives, even freedom, gold coins are meaningless.

Shu Daqiang was worried about Bennett. If he couldn't come back, Zhang Feng's investment in him would be a loss, and he would have to look for him again.

But fortunately, Bennett is strong enough.

Half a month later, the 200,000 orcs who went out had returned in numbers of 300,000.

Among them, Bennett had 150,000 orc soldiers, and the rest were 50,000 captured soldiers and 100,000 civilians.

As for supplies, they are countless.

Bennett destroyed a country similar to Danga in 16 days!

All he paid for, apart from some material expenses, was only 50,000 soldiers. This was definitely an unprecedented victory!

Moreover, Bennett said that only some of the people he brought back were those he thought could become soldiers. There were also some weaker orcs who were left in their original countries and were not brought back.

Although he wanted to make everyone his soldier, logistics was a big problem and the supply could not keep up for the time being.

Seeing Bennett's triumphant victory, especially with so many prisoners, the entire Danga nation went into celebration.

This is not just a victory, but also an enhancement of the strength of the Danga Kingdom. Not to mention the supplies, the 150,000 prisoners alone are an extremely huge fortune.

If we can use 200,000 troops and capture 150,000 prisoners today, then can we turn these prisoners into soldiers tomorrow? Can we use 350,000 troops and capture 200,000 prisoners? This is how war is used to support war!

What's more, after defeating other countries, their territories and resources will also belong to Danga, and these are also gold coins!

The cost of fighting a war is staggering, but the rewards are also staggering.

Just like this time, the benefits Bennett gained were enough to pay back part of the loan! Of course, many of these were fixed assets, and it would take some time to exchange them for gold coins.

But this is already very good. Bennett even wanted to attack again, but was stopped by his brother Raman. He said that people from the Sirius Empire would come to rank next month, so he would talk about it after the ranking.

Bennett thought so too. If he attacked again, it would be fine if he won, but if he failed, it might affect his ranking.

This ranking is conducted twice, each taking half a year.

Now is the first half, and the competition is not that intense. The second half will be bloody. In order to win the final qualifying spot, the fighting is so brutal that even King Bennett couldn't help but shiver.

If their Danga country ranks low this time, then before the next ranking, their Danga country will definitely become the target of attack by those low-ranked countries. After all, they can't pick to fight those with high rankings, and can only choose those with similar strength to themselves.

Of course, wars will happen between countries with high rankings, but since no one is in danger of being eliminated, it will not be a life-and-death struggle. Relatively speaking, it is more "peaceful".

Therefore, this first ranking is still very important for Danga.

At this level, it is impossible to get a very high ranking, but it will not be too low either. At least, we will not become a soft persimmon in the eyes of some countries.

When it came to the ranking, Shu Daqiang asked a lot of questions, and Bennett answered them all. At the same time, this also made Bennett more certain that the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce was not from the Orc Continent. After all, rankings were something that everyone knew about.

After Shu Daqiang understood it, he sent it to Zhang Feng.

After seeing this, Zhang Feng became more curious about the Sirius Empire.

This was done so formally and professionally that he had no idea what the purpose of the Sirius Empire was.

Danga fell into a defensive state. There were not many countries nearby, and none of them was as strong as Danga, so they did not pay attention to it.

The sales of second-hand steam cars in Danga are still hot. The deposits and loans of Red Leaf Bank have also attracted more people. The number of gold coins in the bank is increasing day by day.

The recruitment of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce is also proceeding in an orderly manner. However, because people from the Sirius Empire are coming, Zhang Feng has not yet let anyone activate the oil field, although it can be started already.

At the same time, the steam trucks used by Bennett during the war also caught the attention of some national leaders. For a time, everyone was amazed and asked what on earth they were.

In May, the weather in Hongye City had already warmed up, but the Orc Continent was still covered with ice and snow.

The envoy of the Sirius Empire has arrived.

A shadow suddenly descended upon King Danga's city, carelessly and without the slightest attempt to avoid it.

Waves of terrifying wolf howls plunged the entire royal city into fear.

Shu Daqiang hid in the distance and observed secretly.

At this time, there were dozens of huge shadows in the sky. They were giant wolves. However, compared to the giant wolves in Hongye City, these giant wolves from the Tianlang Empire were not only larger in size, but also had a pair of wings!

On the back of each giant wolf sat a fully armed orc. Its face could not be seen clearly and its race could not be distinguished, but it must be the legendary Sirius.

King Bennett, along with all his officials and nobles, hurried out to greet them. The scene was quite grand.

Dozens of Flying Wolves landed. The leader took off his helmet, revealing long gray hair and a weathered face. He was talking to Bennett.

Shu Daqiang was too far away to hear what was happening, but he saw the two men talking for a few words and then Bennett respectfully invited the envoys in. If one didn't know, one would have thought the envoys were the king.

Shu Daqiang had no idea what happened afterwards. He stayed at home these days, fearing that he would attract the other party's attention.

Every day, several Flying Wolf Riders would go to Danga to investigate the situation. They were obviously very interested in those steam cars. Shu Daqiang saw that King Bennett seemed to have given them one, but he didn't know whether they had a mission or these envoys were more upright, so they did not accept it. Three days later, the envoys from the Sirius Empire left.

Shu Daqiang breathed a sigh of relief. The Hongye Chamber of Commerce, Hongye Bank and the oil field that had not yet started operation did not attract the envoy's attention, and the other party did not even take a second look at them.

"Humph, arrogant!"

Obviously it was a good thing, but Shu Daqiang felt a little unhappy. After complaining in his heart for a while, he came to the palace and asked about the ranking.

Bennett told him that the messenger would come back in a month to announce the rankings.

Shu Daqiang knew from Bennett's smile that the ranking this time should be very good.
