Four Hundred and Ninety Four, New World

After Luo Lan and the others left, the off-road vehicle convoy drove towards the Central Plains in the rolling yellow sand behind them. Their destination this time was actually the Central Plains.

On the way, Luo Lan didn't even dare to open the window of the car, he was worried that a gust of wind would blow in, and he would eat a mouthful of sand: "Only the people in Fort 178 guard this place like a treasure, and it will be destroyed soon." I'm going to the world of flowers in the Central Plains, I'm still a little excited when I think about it."

Zhou Qi was sitting next to him, but he had been silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, he suddenly said: "You want to open up the railway line, I can understand, but now that the Southwest has no worries, why do you always keep going?" A look full of crisis?"

Zhou Qi used to be the secretary of the Qing Clan's presidium, so don't look at his foolish appearance now, but he is not stupid.

Therefore, judging from Qing Zhen's behavior of sending the girl to the northwest, the Qing family is determined to form an alliance with Fort 178: "And how did you convince Fort 178 to allow us to build the railway? You know, the railway is really After the completion, it only takes one day to reach Fort 111 if you want to go to Fort 178, or even less than a day."

In this way, if the Qing family takes the lead in the future, as long as a solid advance base is established ahead, then this railway will be like a lifeline, continuously transporting soldiers and military supplies.

At that time, the speed of this troop transport may be faster than that of mechanized troops!

"Wait," Zhou Qi said to himself, "do you have a common enemy? But where is this enemy? It can make you feel like you are facing a big enemy."

"It's a bit exaggerated to be facing a big enemy," Luo Lan said with a cheerful smile, "This can only be regarded as a rainy day! The price we paid is not small. First of all, if Fort 178 encounters foreign enemies again one day, Qing's troops will rush to the battlefield .”

"What?" Zhou Qi was stunned for a moment: "Can Zhang Jinglin agree with you to bring the army to his side?"

"Of course not," Luo Lan shook his head. "From today onwards, the Qing family will open a corridor from the mountain range in the southwest of us, and insert it obliquely into the hinterland of the plateau. If someone besieges Fort 178, we will support and outflank it from behind."

"It's not easy to get through this corridor in the mountains," Zhou Qi said with emotion.

"It's also not easy to get Fort 178 to agree to our merged railway. It can only be said that both sides have made concessions and worked hard," Luo Lan said calmly.

"Okay, even if Zhang Jinglin believes that you will come to support when the time comes, who is the enemy of the Qing Clan?" Zhou Qi asked.

"Central Plains Wang,

Luo Lan laughed and said, "Unexpected, right?" In fact, I never thought at first why Qing Zhen would care so much about this Wang family. "

"This is interesting," Zhou Qilai became interested, "Then Wang Shengzhi heard that he is still in a wheelchair, and he always likes to be kind to others. Are you afraid of such people?"

"We are not afraid of anyone." Luo Lan looked at the loess outside the window: "But the Qing family is not as stable as imagined. Now the Qing family has more than 40 barriers in its hands, and it has become the strongest in the entire barrier alliance. With a big organization and great power, many people will start to pay more attention to this land in the Southwest.”

"What does this have to do with the Wang family?" Zhou Qi didn't know much about the Wang's consortium, so he asked this question.

"It took Wang Shengzhi ten years to twist the Wang's consortium into a single rope, and then opened the most important resource channel in the Northwest, and implemented the compulsory military service policy for ten years. At first, it might not be obvious. What, Wang's active-duty troops are not particularly large, but it will be different after a long time. Once a war starts, almost all adult males under the age of 35 on Wang's side can immediately become soldiers," Luo Lan Said calmly.

"It's just military service," Zhou Qi said doubtfully, "If you say that it's just to judge that he is always ready to start a war against others, it's also a crime of wanting to impose."

"More than that, Qing Zhen said that the Wang family began to buy silk at high prices a few years ago, and the location of the Zhou family consortium is one of the most suitable places for breeding silkworms. Many Zhou family refugees fled into the mountains to breed silkworms. Wang's They silently purchased at a high price and gave them material subsidies, but guess what, the Zhou family found that there were fewer and fewer refugees in the year before last, and many factories were understaffed, and there was almost not enough food!" Luo Lan laughed and said: "Of course, There are still many things that Wang's consortium has done."

"I want to know what Qing Zhen thinks of the Wang family?" Zhou Qi frowned.

Luo Lan said calmly: "He said that the Wang family has the ambition to unify the barrier alliance."

"That's why Zhang Jinglin and Qing Zhen thought about going together, so they agreed to your proposal, and then the two sides secretly joined forces to resist future risks," Zhou Qi sighed and said, "Can't everyone live a good life? Make money, pick up girls, and enjoy your life Isn't it good to be rich and rich? Why do some people always want to have everything in the world?"

Luo Lan said with a smile: "You and I have seen a lot of human greed, but this Wang Shengzhi is not because of greed... that is the most terrifying. Besides, the Qing family has some old opponents for many years, such as the leader of the mob. He has never let go of his prejudice against us, for example, Tinder Company has also disliked us for a long time..."

"When you put it this way, it feels like the world is an enemy..." Zhou Qi said speechlessly, "What I'm curious about is, does the Qing Clan really have a nuclear base?"

Luo Lan laughed happily and said, "Guess?"

Zhou Qi curled his lips: "Playing mysteries."

Luo Lan suddenly said with emotion: "It would be great if we could have brought Ren Xiaosu to our side before. If he was in charge of the 111 barrier, my brother wouldn't have to stay in the barracks every day."

"Who is this looking down on?" Zhou Qi was unhappy: "Didn't I stay by his side before? Why, don't you believe that I can protect him? How am I inferior to Ren Xiaosu?"

"Do you dare to break down barrier 146 alone?" Luo Lan asked curiously.

Zhou Qi paused for a moment: "Think I didn't say it! But I'm going to the Central Plains, who will protect Qing Zhen?"

"A guy named Zheng Yuandong has returned," Luo Lan said with a smile, "He's even more powerful than I imagined."

"Zheng Yuandong? Sounds familiar."

"You should be more familiar with his code name, Yong Ye, he is now a superhuman."

The speed of the convoy heading to the Central Plains is not slow. This time, the mission of Luo Lan and Zhou Qi to the Central Plains seems to have suddenly become more important. They want to use gold to obtain cheap friendship in the chaos of the Central Plains, and then try to delay it. The longer time, the day they are most worried about, will come later.

This will buy Qing Zhen more time to integrate the resources of the entire Southwest.

Of course, it would be even better if the danger could be nip in the bud.

"By the way, what's going on with the Qinghe Group?" Zhou Qi asked, "Don't you need to worry about that?"

"unnecessary."
