Chapter 327 Snow Leopard Commando
What is even more outrageous is that the media in Sakura Country and Cold Country distorted the source of the sandstorm to Dragon Country, and widely reported the absurd news that "Dragon Country's sandstorms invade neighboring countries."
The phone suddenly vibrated, and a message from Director Yi popped up: [An emergency online meeting will be held at 10:30 to discuss the response plan for the sandstorm in Mobei Country].
Xu Ying sneered. It was time to deal with this evil neighbor who was wantonly destroying the ecology.
Ten thirty.
Online meeting room.
The moment he logged into the meeting, Xu Ying's pupils trembled - the list of participants was full of real-name authentications of Xizhou Province leaders, and the highest-level accounts were prominently listed.
"The last time we proposed donating drought-resistant saplings, we were directly rejected by Mobei Country!" The head of forestry was so angry that he slammed the table.
"Their Presidential Palace is still cutting down protective forests to build golf courses!" The Minister of Environmental Protection pulled up a satellite comparison image.
"Look at this!" someone shared a video shot by an international blogger. "A room full of snow leopard skins. Absolutely insane!"
The discussion became more heated, and suddenly everyone's eyes turned to Xu Ying.
"Stationmaster Xu," the leader's gentle yet commanding voice came, "I heard you can communicate with animals. Is there any way to get them to help plant trees in Mobei?"
The conference room suddenly became quiet.
Xu Ying blinked and suddenly broke into a sly smile: "Instead of going to Mobei to plant trees, why not let the small animals on our borders 'lure' all their wild animals here."
The entire screen was silent for three seconds, and then bursts of exclamation followed. This was a new idea that had never been thought of!
Director Yi couldn't wait: "How do we do it specifically?"
A sly glint flashed in Xu Ying's eyes. "The Mobei Kingdom has been a nomadic people since ancient times, and the Przewalski's horse is their most prized national treasure."
She pulled up photos on her phone and said, "Look, their badges and currency are all decorated with horse motifs. People even worship wild horses as the soul of the grassland."
Suddenly, there was a burst of "Oh" sounds of sudden enlightenment in the conference room.
"Coincidentally," Xu Ying smiled, swiping the screen to show a photo of herself and twelve Przewalski's horses, "I'm an old friend of these wild horses. I plan to use them as 'guides' to 'invite' all the wild horses from Mobei to our side."
She elaborated, "We can establish a high-quality 'horse talent introduction program'—with lush pastures, a professional veterinary team, and comprehensive conservation measures. We can allow the first-time wild horses to share their experiences and mentor the newcomers."
"Wait a minute," a bespectacled leader suddenly interrupted, "Isn't this..."
It's like a pyramid scheme!
“It’s legal animal migration guidance.”
Xu Ying replied with a stern expression, "After all, animals don't need visas to cross borders; they can come and go freely."
The venue was quiet at first, then erupted into heated discussion.
"Brilliant!" the forestry director clapped his hands in amazement. "We kindly offered them saplings, but they refused them. Now even the national treasure, the Przewalski's horse, wants to 'immigrate.' Let's see if they can stay put!"
"Stationmaster Xu," the senior leader said meaningfully, "you used to work in human resources, didn't you? You're quite adept at this 'poaching' tactic."
Everyone burst into laughter. The Minister of Environmental Protection wiped away tears of laughter and said, "Although it's a bit mean, it's really a good deed. Those wild horses live in fear all day in Mobei Country. Only by coming here can they live a stable life."
After more than two hours of discussion, we finally finalized this interesting "Grassland Talent Introduction Plan":
"Let's build some wild horse 'reception centers' along the border," the forestry director said enthusiastically. "We need to make sure these 'new employees' live comfortably."
"Leave the water supply for the pasture to our Water Conservancy Bureau," the head of the Water Conservancy Bureau continued. "We'll ensure they have the freshest grass to eat."
"I'll arrange the medical team!" Director Yi patted his chest. "I'll definitely assign the best 'personal doctor' to each horse."
Xu Ying smiled and said, "Let my wild horse friends be the 'headhunters'. Their personal experiences are the most effective. One horse can lead ten horses, and ten horses can lead a hundred horses."
There was constant laughter in the meeting room. This idea, which was both refreshing and practical, made everyone's eyes light up.
The leader concluded: "That's it! We must teach the Mobei Kingdom a lesson."
"Besides horses, many animals in Mobei are losing their habitats," Xu Ying said, pulling up a map of desertification. "We can create ecological corridors along the border, providing ample water and food to guide animal migration." She pointed to the flickering lights on the screen. "For example, during the spring breeding season, we could use artificial nests to attract migratory birds. During the dry season, we could set up drinking water points to guide grassland animals southward."
In the video window, the leaders' eyes lit up. The big boss suddenly interrupted: "How much money do you need?"
"The most expensive part is the water source project," Xu Ying quickly calculated, "but compared to the annual investment in sandstorm control..."
"Approved!" the senior leader said with finality. "It will be paid from the special environmental protection fund."
After the meeting, Xu Ying rushed to the oasis grassland without stopping.
From a distance, she saw twelve nimble Przewalski's horses running towards her, the sound of their hooves like thunder.
To her surprise, there were two more toddler foals in the herd.
"Oh my god!" Xu Ying squatted down and gently stroked the foal's soft mane. "You have a new member!"
Przewalski's horses usually give birth between April and June, and each litter usually only produces one foal.
The leading stallion nuzzled Xu Ying's shoulder affectionately: "Thanks to you, Stationmaster Xu. If it weren't for you treating our illnesses and giving us regular checkups, we wouldn't be so healthy."
It wagged its tail and said, "Tell me, what can we do for you this time?"
Xu Ying explained the situation in Mobei to the horses in detail: "The grasslands there are almost turning into deserts, and your kind are having a hard time. I would like to ask you to bring them to Longguo to settle down."
The herd immediately stirred, and the mares neighed in agreement: "What a great idea! We've heard that life is tough over there."
Xu Ying hesitated for a moment and then talked about the snow leopard's experience.
Before she could finish, a young stallion raised his front hooves in anger: "How despicable! Those humans don't deserve to have animal neighbors like snow leopards!"
"I've planned to form a Snow Leopard Commando Team in the Xishan Snow Mountains," Xu Ying explained, "but I need your help to escort them across the border. I'm afraid they might be in danger along the way."
The leader stood up with his head held high and his chest puffed out: "Don't worry! We will definitely protect every snow leopard."
It turned and neighed at the horses, "Brothers, this is a big mission! We must teach the Mobei Kingdom the price of harming wild animals!"

As the first rays of morning sun shone on the snow line of the Xishan Mountains, Xu Ying walked on the thin frost back to the snow mountain rescue station.
The day before, she asked the vulture to deliver a message to the snow mountain, asking the golden eagle and snow pigeon to spread the news of recruiting the Snow Leopard Suicide Squad to the surrounding mountainous areas, but she did not expect the response to come so quickly.
