Six months after the war began, the shameless foreigners started thinking of exchanging supplies with the Chinese for animal cubs.
Bai Shuang initially disagreed, but Lu Yu said that there are not many humans left alive.
Humans are social animals and need to develop together.
Although there were conflicts and struggles, there are also many excellent things about them that we can learn from.
If they all die, it will not benefit us. All future disasters from heaven and earth will be borne by the Chinese people.
Okay, I agree, but the price is up to us.
Russian: "We'll trade you seaweed-flavored compressed biscuits."
"I disagree. Chinese people don't eat that."
Old M: "We'll barter with grain; this is the best we can offer."
"I disagree. Your grain is of very poor quality, the grains are too thin, and it's even mixed with chaff."
Our Chinese wheat bran and corn husks taste better than your grains.
Old E: "We'll go into the water and look for scrap metal to trade."
"We don't accept waste."
...
"We just want weapons and fuel; you can trade them for them if you want."
Taking away their weapons is like pulling out their teeth; they'll be powerless to do anything they want to do in the future.
Moreover, it can increase one's own strength.
Without the corresponding minerals, the world cannot manufacture weapons.
Fuel is their lifeline. Without it, they would be stuck on the island, unable to travel far, let alone cause any disturbance.
"What? A box of bullets, nine hundred rounds, can only be exchanged for ten eggs?"
"Three M4 rifles for a chicken?"
"The piglets are even more outrageously expensive; one piglet requires a whole box of sea mines!"
...
Are your chickens, eggs, and piglets made of gold?
Huaxia: "Fine, don't bother changing it."
There's no other way; only their store has it, so we have to replace it whether we want to or not.
So they gathered together and decided that the fuel was absolutely not to be touched; if it was, they would be unable to move an inch in the future.
Each side rummaged through their own weapons; at worst, there would be no more wars, but going without food was unacceptable.
Each family can switch to a different species, and once they've reproduced enough, they can exchange them again.
"What, try several different kinds?"
"The Chinese are asking for such a high price, who can afford it?"
"We don't even have enough to eat, so what are we going to feed them after we get them?"
After switching to chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, sheep, and cows, we fed them straw and grass.
The marine life can be hauled up, sterilized at high temperatures, and then fed to livestock and poultry; that should be fine.
Later, when they're older and bigger, they'll have real meat to eat.
Ugh, seafood that's been sterilized at high temperatures is really hard to eat!
They discussed it over the phone, suggesting that either Old M or the Russian family go and exchange the items, but the Russians and Old M were not comfortable with each other.
What if the Chinese gave two chickens a box of bullets, but you only got one chicken in return?
Furthermore, other smaller factions are hesitant to entrust their hard-earned military equipment to others.
So it was decided that each faction would send two people, led by the Russian and the old man, to jointly sail a ship to exchange them.
Submarines are enclosed spaces with poor air circulation, and there are quite a few people on board. There were concerns that living creatures might not be able to adapt, so it was better to use a steamship.
Fuel is shared equally, and since the ship belongs to the Russians, they don't have to contribute fuel.
When Lu Yu learned that the Chinese troops had come to exchange poultry and livestock at the Huaxia base, he sent Minister Hong and the Foreign Minister to negotiate with them.
Those people thought that with such an expensive price, they could go to the China Base to take a look and choose their own small animals.
They are foreign guests, so the Chinese should at least treat them to a meal.
To everyone's surprise, they weren't even allowed to enter the house.
They only counted the weapons at the base entrance, and then had the small animals and fertilized eggs they could trade for delivered directly to the base.
Then, they simply closed the base's entrances and exits.
That wretched rabbit! Why is it so unfriendly? We're foreign guests, after all.
After finishing this task, Minister Hong returned and handed over the weapons he had acquired to Bai Shuang.
"Look, base commander, you've exchanged so many weapons, but you're only using a few animals and a few fertilized eggs."
If we had known that small animals were so valuable, we wouldn't have eaten them.
At this rate, we'll be rich in no time.
Bai Shuang was amused by their words, "With our prices so high, they'll definitely grit their teeth and trade."
I won't easily change them again, unless they can't support them anymore.
"I see. If I had known earlier, I would have tampered with those animals."
Hou Shuang never expected that Minister Hong had such a 'malicious' side.
"No need for that. It's okay if the price is a bit higher, but please don't damage the copy easily."
Minister Hong recalled the importance of the letter he had made before the disaster, saying, "It was my shortsightedness."
Not long after I returned, the Russians came and changed it again.
They didn't want to wait for other factions' animal species to grow up and be exchanged; that would be too slow.
The Russians have stockpiled a lot of weapons and are not planning to wage war anymore. They are also following the example of the Chinese and are focused on food and drink first.
They then set aside some of their weapons to trade for animals.
According to reports, they harvest seaweed, rinse and disinfect it, and then use it to feed small animals.
If it's white frost, I wouldn't dare eat those animals that are raised on potentially unsafe seafood. Is it safe to eat them?
But for them, who are still on the brink of starvation, this may be a good way to get food.
Later, larger powers like Old M, Old E, and Kangaroo came and changed hands again.
Although the price was high, the Huaxia base did not make things difficult for them because it was a mutually beneficial deal.
