Vault 32

Chapter 178
Shaking the coffee cup in his hand, Liszt sniffed the mellow steam slightly with the tip of his nose, but his eyes were as calm as afternoon tea in New York: "The group of Soviets and Canadians are my enemies. Only by fighting hard to create a road stained with blood can he survive." And he looked at Captain Owen, leaning forward slightly, as if implying something: "You know, the more enemies there are, sometimes the more powerful you can be." live."

"Of course." Captain Owen nodded subconsciously. Facing Liszt, he couldn't help showing a forced smile. At the same time, he picked up the coffee in his hand, finally calmed down the throbbing in his heart, and took a deep breath. , nodded slowly and said: "This is the territory of the Canadians, so we should be more careful."

Liszt showed a smile, and his words were almost pointed to the point of obviousness. He was talking about the insulting obliteration of him by some high-level officials who did not like him from within the Enclave.Otherwise, he would not have come to this Canadian place, nor would he have succeeded in occupying his own base, and also grasped some of his real rights.

Taking a slow sip of the slightly scalding coffee, Captain Owen also felt some of the deepest fear facing the long-famous Colonel Lister in front of him.The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, but he still slowly drank the coffee in his mouth, with a bit of surprise in his eyes, because the more he thought, the more information he got!
He finally knew why the high-level person who sent him valued Liszt so much, and even some information he had obtained, as well as the overall plan of the high-level US federal government, had already made Liszt, who had penetrated into the Canadian territory like a nail. Colonel Special has become a bright light in the eyes of almost everyone.Unknowingly, Liszt has become a bargaining chip, or rather, a trump card, in political wrestling between powers and powers, between countries and countries!

"Colonel Lister, I wonder if you have heard of it?"

After considering his own words, Captain Owen still opened his mouth slowly. He sipped the almost sweet and greasy coffee, let his tired body consume as much sugar and calories as possible, and at the same time lowered his voice to Liszt: "Alaska An oil field was discovered near the Anchorage line, and you know what that means."

"Oil field?" Liszt raised his eyebrows slightly. The oil field on the Anchorage line of defense is almost the only new oil field discovered in the world today. Of course, he knows what this means.Because this represents strategic significance. In the radiation wasteland of the previous life, the reason why the United States and China have been able to get along without incident for several years is that the oil extracted from this oil field has brought important peace to both sides!
In other words, it is the time of delay. In the wasteland of the previous life, one only needs to think carefully to know that the United States relied on the oil from this oil field to successfully hold back the pace of China's invasion and developed the crucial power armor. Otherwise, the war will be delayed. It happened in a few years, and the terrifying torrent of steel swept across North America. Whether the United States Federation can resist it is another matter.

"Oil fields discovered in the Anchorage defense line? I thought the world's oil had dried up."

A smile slowly appeared on Liszt's brows, but his eyes were still calm, like a lake without any waves. Looking at Captain Owen, he shrugged slightly. Shrugging his shoulders, he said thoughtfully, "However, between Alaska and the mainland of the United States, there is Canada."

"Now there are Soviets in the middle."

Captain Owen took a sip of the cloyingly sweet coffee, but he didn't feel disgusted at all. This drink can quickly replenish his body with energy in the cold, and such extravagant sugar and coffee are enough to show that Well, Liszt and the others in front of them are not short of certain supplies, at least not as extremely scarce as Liszt said.

With a slight smile, Captain Owen also looked at Liszt's thoughtful face, raised the coffee in his hand, and drank the remaining half in one gulp, just like drinking in a bar. He let out a sigh of relief, nodded in satisfaction and said, "If you and your soldiers can enjoy such a cup of coffee every day, then what can the Soviets do to you?"

"I don't really understand."

Liszt also smiled slightly, looked at Captain Owen's smiling eyes, but didn't take the initiative to answer his words, and gestured to the Marine Corps soldier who was waiting next to him, and the young man held another cup of coffee Walked over and handed it to Captain Owen again, and Liszt also smiled softly: "Is there anything else I can do?"

"Of course there is your business, and your mission will be an admirable feat."

Shaking his head slowly, Captain Owen looked at Liszt, did not continue to drink the cup of coffee in his hand, and his tone became a little serious, he said softly: "The oil pipeline will be laid this year. From Leitch to Washington, and then throughout the United States." He said seriously, and looked at Liszt seriously: "And the oil pipeline will be built on the west side of the Rocky Mountains, and will also pass through this mountainous area. "

Apart from pipelines, there are only oil tankers to transport oil, and the Pacific Ocean has almost been covered by Soviet warships. If a U.S. federal oil tanker goes into the sea, a few small accidents will cause it to sink.But this will not necessarily be the case if the oil pipeline is opened. On Canadian territory, no matter how arrogant the Soviets are, they still have to abide by North American rules.

According to the data on paper, the U.S. federal troops are no less than the Soviet steel torrent, and even the powerful air force has enveloped the Canadian sky.As long as the oil pipeline is laid, even the Soviets can only grit their teeth and endure it, because high-level politicians from both sides have negotiated countless times over the Anchorage oil field.

"You stay here to protect the safety of the oil pipeline, then everything will be taken care of by the U.S. federal government."

Captain Owen's face was extremely serious, and he couldn't even find the slightest conspiracy or weird appearance, especially his eyes, which looked dignified when looking at Liszt.Because what he said was all the truth, and it was also the historical plan that Liszt understood, Captain Owen still said sincerely: "If you want, the Nevada Air Force Base will be your eternal backing."
