Although there will be Tiberium dust clouds from the old place of Lucia in the north or the ocean current in the southeast from time to time, they will drift to the northeast with the air current, but they will soon become harmless to the human body in the atmospheric filtration and purification devices over the northeast. gas.

In addition to cleaning up Tiberium pollution, the human coalition's construction of the Northeast is mainly focused on the transformation of heating in various cities. Of the fifteen MCVs newly produced in October, eight were put into various places in the Northeast. Cities, participate in the renovation or rebuilding of various cities.

The task of transforming the heating system of the northeast cities is mainly the construction team from the United Government World. These construction teams, who have been fully trained in the environment close to minus one hundred degrees, rely on the same construction speed as the MCV to open and hang, before the first snowflakes fall. , [-]% of the cities and [-]% of the villages and towns have been rebuilt, relocated or rebuilt. The human coalition expects that by the end of this year, all the people in the Northeast will be able to live in new homes with stable power supply, water supply and heating.

As for those areas that have not yet completed construction, energy towers have also been established to provide temporary heating.

Although the production method and related blueprints of the steam core of the frozen world have been completely lost, with the full cooperation of Stark and other surviving engineers in the frozen world, the human coalition forces still use thermal power plants or refusion reactors as the core to realize and energy towers. Similar functionality.

Thanks to the human coalition's pipeline technology with higher thermal insulation technology, a small thermal power plant can provide heating and power supply for [-] households, and as long as the raw materials are sufficient, an MCV can build a large area of ​​thermal power plants in half an afternoon. The matching energy pipeline.

As for those areas near the Far Eastern border and heavily polluted by Tiberium ore, the human coalition can also protect the safety of residents by deploying fortress-level shields in the city center.

If you add a large supply of all kinds of daily necessities at a reasonable price and many former CHI officials have been arrested one by one, even though it is only November, the Northeast region is already more festive than the Chinese New Year. Even the falling snowflakes, these past Northeast population The "white devil" in the movie seems to have become warm and lovely.

Human beings are a kind of group that can’t be idle. Before, the people in the Northeast could endure the life of being closed at home for several months, but they had no choice but to survive. Now that the human coalition has reduced the cost of survival to the people’s acceptable Naturally, more people are willing to go out of their homes and gradually expand the scope of activities centered on cities and towns.

The arrival of another group of people makes the northeast look more dynamic.

From Bohai Bay to Waixing'an Mountains, from vans to heavy trucks, no matter how bad the outside weather is, there will always be various vehicles on the newly renovated roads in Northeast China.

When Qiye proposed to businessmen from various backgrounds that they could ship the goods abroad for sale, some people immediately jumped up and questioned Qiye's lack of good intentions.

They believe that even if they don’t consider the goods in their hands at a price much higher than the market price, the cost of sending materials from Zhejiang Province to the Far East border is far from being affordable.

When these materials are sent abroad, I am afraid that the cost of a sweater can rise to thousands of yuan, and it is impossible to compete with the main product.

And if they sell the goods at a reduced price, they will not only have to pay the price difference of the goods, but also lose a large amount of transportation costs, which is simply not worth the loss.

However, their doubts were quickly exchanged for Qiye's slightly sarcastic laughter.

These people still have the old impression that the transportation in the Far East is still under the rule of CHI, where Tiberium ore is spreading everywhere and roadblockers can be seen everywhere. How many Tiberium pollutions, how many bandits and robbers have been wiped out, these people just regard these reports as scenes of the human coalition forces, and they have not done any investigation on the current traffic conditions in the Far East at all.

But the actual situation is that even if the human coalition forces will not open the portals to these guys who are hostile to them in the short term, the human coalition forces have cleared the Tiberium ore around the main roads and railways in various places, and completed these trunks by the way. After the road reconstruction task, the transportation cost of bulk commodities has dropped to less than ten percent of the original.

As for the small group of robbers who have escaped the surveillance and investigation of the human coalition forces, they dare to intercept those vehicles that are alone. If all of them form a convoy together, even if these small groups of robbers survive themselves Can't eat their goods.

As for whether the export of these goods in large quantities will be intercepted by other countries, it is not a question considered by these businessmen at all.

With the two Tiberium Wars, there are only two states in the world that have joined the GDI and non-government areas, although several countries around the Far East, including Japan, North Korea and other blue zones , has independent military and diplomatic power in name, but in fact they are as highly dependent on the protection and support of GDI as the former CHI.

Therefore, after the human coalition and GDI reached an agreement on tariffs and trade issues in the armistice agreement, they must also obey the GDI's resolution on the surface, and it is impossible to send troops to intercept the human coalition's convoy.

What's more, for the countries in the yellow and red zones around the Far East, the arrival of these human coalition merchants is also more conducive to maintaining domestic social stability.

Although the merchants of the human coalition may not have any good intentions, as long as there are enough supplies in the market, they will be of great help to suppress the NOD Brotherhood.

The more frequent activities of the NOD Brotherhood in recent years have made many people feel a great sense of crisis. Compared with the NOD Brotherhood who tried to subvert their own rule, the problems that the human coalition merchants may cause are insignificant.

As for the various looters that are still rampant outside the Far East and whether the NOD Brotherhood may secretly sabotage and rob their trade convoys, it is also easy to solve the problem, as long as they limit the scope of trade to the cities around the Far East, do not go too deep into these yellow, Inside the red zone, as long as the human coalition's air and space fleet can "patrol" the border a few times, the looters outside the Far East can suppress their greed.

As for whether there will really be someone who does not have long eyes to attack the convoy of the human alliance...

The armistice agreement signed by the human coalition forces and GDI clearly stated that the human coalition forces have the obligation and right to attack terrorist organizations such as the NOD Brotherhood outside the Far East. If they dare to attack the human coalition forces at this time, then don’t blame the human coalition forces for using them to establish Powerful.

Although these people are still skeptical about the achievements of the human coalition army that Qiye said, this group of businessmen who have nowhere to go can only pray that the information provided by Qiye is the best and correct.

So soon, the transportation vehicles around Zhejiang Province were packed, and many speculators formed convoys one by one to transport the materials they bought at high prices to various border cities in the Far East.

The Northeast is just one of the choices for these people. With the passage and transit of a large number of goods, even in winter, the cities in the Northeast are still changing every day.

In order to temporarily store materials from Zhejiang Province, there are more warehouses and houses around many towns than residential buildings.

Since the current main energy of the human coalition is still on the cleanup of Tiberium and the transformation of various cities, there is no extra energy to meet the needs of these merchants, so even the construction teams hired by the merchants can use color steel Dozens of warehouses were built with tiles and prefabricated panels, but as more and more goods arrived in the Northeast, the construction speed of these warehouses was far behind the speed of goods delivery.

As a last resort, businessmen can only rent houses from the surrounding people and use some of the spare rooms as temporary warehouses, especially in the border cities around the Outer Xing'an Mountains. Businessmen from all over the world have already stored more than 50 billion yuan in such temporary warehouses. of goods, and it is foreseeable that the number of these goods will further increase in the next few months.

Considering the purchasing power of the residents of several countries adjacent to the Far East, the first batch of goods arriving in the Northeast mainly consisted of various daily necessities and some commonly used medicines, clothes, quilts, towels, toothpaste, plastic buckets, basins, etc. Products accounted for 60.00% of the total exports.

Although home appliances and furniture can also be seen here, considering the political situation of the surrounding GDI puppet countries and the consumption level of residents, only a few merchants who have a large amount of furniture in their hands bring a little to use To test the market, the target customers of this kind of goods are the rulers or elites around the Far East.

However, judging from the actual sales situation, apart from those large-screen and ultra-thin color TVs that look very high-end, other high-quality and cheap furniture and home appliances are not very popular among these upper-class people.

Of course, among the several GDI puppet countries adjacent to the northeast, the best-selling spirits are still above 50 degrees.

Under the rule of CHI, the annual food production in the Far East could not even meet the minimum needs of all residents, and the small amount of liquor produced could basically only be used by the elites for entertainment. Naturally, there would be no surplus food to cultivate alcoholics. bad habits.

Therefore, although the state-run department store of the human coalition has cheap alcoholic drinks on the shelf, and there are also a few yuan in it that can weigh a catty of bulk liquor, but the current sales volume has not been high.

However, in high-latitude regions, when the heating supply of every household cannot be guaranteed, high-strength alcohol is already a necessity for survival.

Although there is still a big difference in the taste between the human coalition army's liquor and Lucia's homemade potato wine, this kind of cheap and large-capacity liquor is obviously more suitable for purchasing in civilian families, so when the reputation of the human coalition caravan gradually spread After opening, every time the human coalition convoy arrives in a city, all kinds of low-priced liquor are always the first to be sold out.

After discovering this, all kinds of liquor that were basically out of stock in the state-run department store of the human coalition ushered in a wave of panic buying. Some smart businessmen even began to evaluate the possibility of opening a winery in the Northeast.

In addition, although the human coalition forces have signed an armistice agreement with GDI, and obtained a lot of GDI currency through GDI war reparations and confiscating the assets of some criminals, the human coalition forces and GDI still have not established an official currency exchange channel.

Therefore, those who do business outside the Far East will also exchange their GDI currency for other local raw materials before returning home.

The logs surrounded by several people, the Tiberium ore that has been refined, the truckloads of natural gas, and tens of thousands of tons of oil were all transported back to the Far East with the continuous flow of convoys.

Volume 854 This is Our Planet: Chapter 0822 Chapter [-] Far East Trading Group

0822

Transbaikal Republic, Chita, southeast industrial area, across the factory wall that has been abandoned for many years, thousands of people who received the news in advance are gathering here, and as the news spreads, there are still people far away or walking , or drive here, so that the old industrial area that was deserted a few years ago has some popularity again.

Although the climate in the Transbaikal Republic is slightly more comfortable than in the Northeast, daytime temperatures in November can still drop below freezing.

But fortunately, with the visit of the human coalition merchant convoy, many Chita residents have been able to wear warm clothes from the human coalition, allowing the residents of Chita to leave their houses when the weather clears.

After a while, more and more residents of Chita came around the industrial area, looking forward to the road in the southeast that was repaired not long ago.

A few years ago, in order to strengthen the connection between CHI and the countries of Lucia in the north, and facilitate the dispatch of troops by GDI to attack the active NOD Brotherhood in the Far Northeast and the countries of Lucia, GDI built a number of roads leading from the border of Lucia. The way of the Far East.

However, under the premise that GDI does not intend (or incapable) to eradicate the Tiberium pollution in the countries of Lucia, neither the puppet country of Lucia nor the CHI in the Far East can spend energy to maintain such a system without much actual benefit. With the spread of Tiberium crystals in Mongolia and the countries of Lucia, these roads have been completely abandoned in less than two years after they were built. Except for mutants who are not afraid of Tiberium pollution, this road is almost No normal human figure can be seen.

But after the first batch of merchants tasted the sweetness in the trade with Lucia, in order to make up for the losses they suffered in Zhejiang Province, they did not need the human coalition forces to urge them, and they themselves continued to expand the surrounding areas of the Far East very consciously. land trade.

In addition to hiring more manpower and building larger convoys to expand the scope of trade to the north and west, dredging the channel between CHC and the countries of Lucia has also become a very necessary thing.

Especially as the weather in northern Asia becomes colder, if the routine cannot be repaired and cleaned up as soon as possible, then when the road and the Tiberium ore that may exist on the road are covered by heavy snow, driving on the snow will be difficult. It became an extremely dangerous thing, and it could even be said to be a life gamble - after all, no one can guarantee whether a Tiberium crystal column will suddenly grow under the road.

Therefore, in order to make money more efficiently and safely, these merchants who were subdued by the human coalition forces just a month ago licked their faces for the first time and took the initiative to approach the local officials of the human coalition forces in the Northeast region.

After completely surrendering to the human coalition forces and paying a considerable price, the final result of their discussion with the human coalition forces was that the human coalition forces come forward to negotiate with the nominal rulers of GDI and the countries of Lucia.

After more than half a month of negotiations, all the representatives involved in the negotiations agreed to form a Far East International Trade Group jointly by the Human Alliance, GDI, Lucia countries, and merchant groups.

Among them, the human coalition government holds 51% of the shares, GDI and Lucia countries hold 19% of the shares, and the human coalition merchants participating in this meeting jointly hold 30% of the shares.

The main tasks of the human coalition and GDI in the Far East Trading Group are to ensure the smooth and safe trade routes of the Far East, and to provide convenience for the Far East International Trading Group to purchase materials and deliver goods, and to ensure that the human coalition and those who may join the secondary trade route in the future GDI merchants can more easily buy and sell non-regulated items.

In addition, the human coalition and GDI also agreed that the two sides will conduct more detailed negotiations on the tariff ratio, payment channels, verification methods, etc. between the countries of the Far East and Lucia. ", a symbolic tariff is imposed on the goods of the Far East International Trade Group.

The merchants of the human coalition army are mainly responsible for the proportionate investment in the construction of roads and railways connecting the Far East and Lucia countries, and bear certain maintenance costs.

As for specific commodity sales, only if the local government of the trading city does not have a docking window, or is approved by the government of the trading city, the Far East International Trading Group can directly sell the goods to groups or individuals, otherwise the merchants of the Far East Trading Group will Goods can only be sold to designated windows of the government.

Of course, in order to avoid deliberate pressure, raise, or manipulation of prices in a certain link in the process, any unit can submit a complaint to the Far East International Trade Group at any time. After receiving the complaint, the Far East International Trade Group must within three days. Form an investigation team, and unless natural disasters such as wars, floods, earthquakes, etc. are encountered, the Far East International Trade Group needs to give preliminary investigation results within one month.

The investigation costs incurred due to complaints, as well as indirect costs such as possible delivery delays and logistics interruptions, will be borne by the responsible party.

The review and investigation of relevant complaints will be supervised by the AI ​​of the Human Alliance to ensure the fairness of the complaint handling process.

And the meeting stipulated that no matter whether other parties will participate in the agreement in the future, they can only disperse their part of the shares.

For example, even if other human coalition merchants want to join this group in the future, the source of his shares can only be the 30% of the merchant group.

Similarly, no matter whether the number of Lucia countries joining the group increases or decreases in the future, it will only affect 19% of the shares held by GDI and Lucia countries, and will not have any impact on the shareholding ratio of the human coalition government and merchant groups .

And if the Far East International Trade Group wants to issue additional shares to the society, it must obtain the consent of all major shareholders to ensure the interests of all groups in the Far East International Trade Group.

However, considering that neither the human coalition nor GDI can fully predict how far Asia will develop in the future, the agreement also stipulates that the Far East Trading Group will hold a general meeting of shareholders every five years to re-evaluate the shareholding ratio of various aspects.

As for whether the Far East International Trading Group will harm the interests of GDI, there is no need for the merchants of the human coalition to worry about it. After all, most of the time GDI focuses on the blue zone or the light yellow zone bordering the blue zone, and they are not in the mood to go deep into the dark yellow zone. Participate in the terminal sales link within the region.

Generally speaking, GDI will directly sell various materials to local governments or GDI agents, and then the local governments or agents will continue to distribute or sell them downwards.

In this process, also due to the pollution of Tiberium ore (and the corruption problem within GDI), after the materials are shipped to all parts of the world, there will be a large degree of wear and tear, making the materials sold by GDI to various agents although The price is high, but GDI actually cannot get much benefit directly from the transaction.

In many cases, GDI bites the bullet and distributes supplies to the Yellow Zone in order to maintain social stability and prevent the NOD Brotherhood from taking the opportunity to expand.

And now the human coalition is willing to take advantage of GDI. Although the influx of human coalition supplies into the yellow zone will weaken GDI's control and influence over these areas, considering that the Far East International Trade Group will also provide GDI with dividends every year. , GDI's internal support for this proposal is greater than opposition.

As for whether other trading companies in GDI will be jealous after the Far East Trading Group has really developed the markets of the countries of Lucia...

If GDI still can't gain a tactical advantage over the human coalition by then, then it's useless for them to be jealous. They can only honestly apply to join the Far East Trading Group and compete with the merchants of the human coalition.

During the negotiation process, the Lucia countries wanted to obtain independence and a higher shareholding ratio, but the road construction money was paid by the merchants, the road was repaired by the human coalition, the NOD Brotherhood was built by GDI, and the Lucia countries In the transaction link of the Far East International Trade Group, they are already lying down and collecting money. Letting them participate in the negotiation is the last respect of the human coalition for them.

They don't need the human coalition to refute their idea of ​​not considering their own strength, and the person in charge of GDI has already turned them back.

At this time, what the residents of Chita are waiting for is the transport convoy of the human coalition. Many residents who know or do not know are discussing how much goods the caravan of the human coalition can bring this time, and what commodities they can buy with their current income. , while the guards of Chita maintained a continuous presence in the crowd to avoid stampedes or other tragedies.

The convoy of the human coalition forces did not keep the surrounding people waiting for too long. As a string of black spots appeared at the end of the Chita residents' field of vision, a super long convoy like a worldly python was quickly becoming clear.

Obviously, the human coalition merchants who have benefited a lot from the previous transactions with Lucia have built a larger convoy this time. The image is still "the southern neighbor who can sell supplies cheaply", so the convoy that appeared this time is a giant that cannot be described based on their experience alone.

In addition to the many supplies that were originally stranded in Zhejiang Province being transported to the Northland in large quantities, the merchants of the Human Alliance Army also adjusted the proportion of supplies according to the actual sales in the previous rounds, such as fuel, air-dried meat, liquor, and Tiberium healing potions. (Dissolving Potion and Healing Potion) became the bulk of the convoy carrying this time.

If Chita cannot eat all the supplies of the convoy, the convoy will continue to move westward until all the supplies are sold out or the capital of the Republic of Buryatia is reached, then the convoy will turn south and pass through Ulan in Mongolia Province Barto returned to the Far East.

In order not to annoy GDI, the NOD Brotherhood, or any of the human coalition forces, except for a few Lucia cities with GDI garrisons who choose the government to directly purchase the goods of the human coalition forces, most cities have stated that as long as the caravans of the human coalition forces normally pay the transaction tax, and promised to spend at least 50%~75% of the transaction volume in local direct consumption, the mayors of these cities will completely open the sales channels to the caravans of the human coalition forces, as for how much the merchants of the human coalition forces are going to sell these materials , Whether it exceeds the tolerance of the residents, they don't care.

——Just like they never cared about the activities of GDI and NOD Brotherhood in their own territory.

But even if the countries of Lucia do not intend to intervene in the terminal sales process of the merchants of the human coalition, the merchants of the human coalition don't dare to offer too high a price.

After experiencing the disastrous defeat in Zhejiang Province, the businessmen of the Human Alliance Army have at least put aside their contempt for the Human Alliance Army for now.

Although they still don't know whether the human coalition forces will deal with them because they are messing around abroad, but anyone with a little foresight can see that the department stores in various places are like pins and needles, nailing the prices of cities in the Far East. Finally, expanding foreign trade channels has become their only way out.

And now is the time for them to hitchhike the Far East International Trade Group to take off. At this time, if they can’t follow the wishes of the human coalition to do business honestly, once the incident happens—considering the complex composition of the caravan, no one will be able to do anything. The price increase will inevitably be known by the human coalition forces—even if the human coalition forces will not directly sell to themselves due to procedures and public opinion, as long as the human coalition forces exclude them from the Far East International Trade Group, it will be enough to make these people feel bad. I'm going to regret it.

Not to mention other things, just the logs, oil, and refined Tiberium ore they pulled back from Siberia are currently only available to the official purchase and processing of the Human Alliance Army. This is enough for them to weigh the benefits of offending the Human Alliance Army and risk.

In addition, the arrival of the human coalition caravan not only brought a large number of high-quality and cheap daily necessities to the local area, but also promoted the development of local basic industries.

Although the human coalition has not directly participated in investment in regions other than the Far East, in order to receive a large number of orders from the human coalition caravan, the governments and capitalists of the Lucia countries have also begun to increase wood processing with the tacit approval of GDI. And so on industrial investment.

GDI and the countries of Lucia are not without technology, and the equipment they need to rebuild their basic industries can also be easily bought from GDI or the human coalition. Except for a slight shortage of skilled workers, the countries of Lucia rebuild their basic industrial systems basically It can be said that there is no difficulty at all.

As for the bad weather in North Asia and the Tiberium ore spreading everywhere... Let's put it this way, for many Lucia people who can't even eat, and have even been reduced to the point where they have to go hunting in the snow, a stable , Decent, and self-supporting work is more important than anything else.

However, it will take time for the merchants of the Human Alliance to expand their trade scope, or for the countries of Lucia to adjust their domestic industrial layout to cater to the convoys of the Human Alliance.

And many people in Lucia have no time.

"Crazy! These people are crazy!" When the merchants of the human alliance handed over boxes of supplies to the residents of Chita City, the sheriff of the Northern Police Department of Chita City was accompanied by several heavily armed policemen. Next, kicked open a door in the slums.

However, after seeing the contents of the room clearly, the Sergeant Lucia quickly backed out of the room holding his nose, still yelling and cursing.

Volume 855 This is Our Planet: Chapter 0823 Chapter [-] The Approaching Shadow

"There were two dead bodies in the room, a man and a woman, on the bed and on the floor."

"A large number of traces of Tiberium crystal sprawl were found on the floor and furniture of the room."

"A Tiberium crystal strain opened the stomach of one of the corpses, and there may be Tiberium spores in the room."

"These lunatics! Now I have to do a full-body Tiberium screening!"

Just after exiting the room, Sergeant Lucia spit out a series of words like a machine gun, and a detective following the sheriff poked his head into the room and added: "At present, they should all die of Tiberium erosion."

"This is already the No. 13 death from Tiberium erosion in our jurisdiction this month. Blame those damned Easterners. Ever since they appeared in our place, everyone here has gone crazy!" Lu Sheriff West Asia touched his cap badge and said angrily, "Just to buy things from those Easterners, these poor people dare to risk being contacted and infected by Tiberium Ore to take home?"

"These two lunatics, who do they think they are? Do they have the conditions to store Tiberium ore safely?"

The anger on Sergeant Lucia’s face still hasn’t disappeared. This is not because there have been many civilian deaths in her jurisdiction—after all, in the winter of the Transbaikal Republic, civilian casualties are very normal, let alone what they are doing now. The location is still a slum in the northern suburbs of Chita City, which itself has gathered a large number of residents who cannot even obtain the minimum living security.

Every month, people or families will be driven here due to bankruptcy, disability, mental disorder, etc. It is normal for these penniless people to die here in winter by 20.00%, 30.00%, and it is not at all Someone will care about the life and death of the residents here.

But if you want to bring unprocessed Tiberium ore into the city, it is a completely different nature. Once the Tiberium ore is not processed in time and the Tiberium ore spreads in the city, everyone present may be Part of the ghetto for gross dereliction of duty.

"Sheriff, I don't think they brought it back by themselves," the detective whispered beside him after Sheriff Lucia finished speaking, "The original owner of this house died two months ago. Its whereabouts are unknown, our investigation results show that the owner never showed up after going out once in two months, I think the source of the corpses in the room needs to be further investigated, they are probably the owner’s body.”
