Dallas, Texas.

Since Houston hit Aurora Legion and sent ‘Dongfeng Express’, ‘Enclave’ has experienced anarchy for a long time. Several internal hillside forces emerged one after another and started a power game again.

The new ‘Enclave’ government was re-established in Austin at first, but later felt too close to Aurora Legion and moved to Dallas. The head of government was reluctant to stay in the city any more, and as a result all went to scattered suburban offices.

The new Ministry of the Interior of ‘Enclave’ was set up in a cluster of high-end villas on the outskirts of Dallas. Minister Biden was standing at the window looking at a telegram on hand.

The content is very simple. A guy named Rick dared to go to the Aurora Legion site to smuggle. After being arrested, this guy lied that he was an official of Enclave and could get oil. But this guy really knew the Enclave Ministry of the Interior, and he sent a telegram in desperation.

"Our destiny turned out to be from a liar." Minister Biden sighed. He dropped the telegram and turned to the secretary behind him: "Give this Rick an identity and send him as a smuggler Contact Aurora Legion to talk about this business. "

The secretary looked at the minister's complexion, without any fluctuations, and could not figure out what his boss thought. But letting a scammer become an official, and letting the official become a smuggler, this is what can happen in this strange diplomatic environment.

It seems that no one thought that ‘Enclave’ would attack the Aurora Legion with a nuclear bomb, and that ‘Enclave’ himself did not expect that the nuclear bomb would destroy the government system. As a result, when all this really happened ... Zhou Qingfeng evacuated Havana's personnel and institutions in advance, but Houston did not.

The current situation inside ‘Enclave’ is wonderful. ‘Dongfeng Express’ destroyed its brain in one fell swoop, but failed to cause much damage to its strong torso. As a result, when its new head grew, it was found that the torso was a bit ineffective-the central authority was severely hit.

"We need to improve the economy and improve the economy to regain authority." Seeing the secretary in a daze, Minister Biden whispered, "Our economy is too bad. The oil industry can be a breakthrough, the key is to There is a large enough market. "

The petroleum industry can create high incomes and a large number of employment opportunities, and after its development, it is a very strong industrial chain that can easily drive many industries to develop together.

Although the move of Aurora Legion is very strange this time, Minister Biden does n’t mind trying it. Anyway, he sent a few people to negotiate, at no cost. Of course, this is in the name of a smuggler, and there is no political burden if it is messed up.

The secretary reminded again: "We need to submit this matter to the cabinet for discussion, let the president know?"

Minister Biden glanced over immediately, his eyes fierce. The secretary immediately bowed his head and realized that he had said the wrong thing-this kind of messing up did not cause much loss. In case it was done, it would bring huge profits, and if the confidentiality was too late, how could it be disclosed?

Soon a small negotiating team flew to Veracruz, Mexico as a smuggler. They recognized Rick Steen ’s official identity and requested further negotiations. Minister Biden, who was waiting for news in the rear, watched that he had only taken a step of free chess, but in fact he had been paying attention.

Both sides have very complementary needs, and negotiations are progressing quickly. Minister Biden received the negotiation telegram from the front almost every hour, and the news made him more and more excited-Aurora Legion is really interested in importing oil, no matter who the oil is, as long as it is shipped to Mexico, it will be bought.

"Ah ..., the commander of the Hugo Army is really a weirdo. He is a typical pragmatist, and he can talk about anything as long as he has interests." Minister Biden continued to give instructions in the face of gratifying negotiations It's easy to say about oil price, delivery date and shipping volume.

"Import goods for barter?" A list of goods traded from Aurora Legion appeared in the hands of Minister Biden, "Building materials, electromechanical, consumer, medical equipment, these are things we urgently need."

Minister Biden saw this long list of ‘trade goods for barter’ and immediately started a ideological struggle in his mind. He also knows that these things are urgently needed by Enclave, but if the imports are opened, it will be a big blow to the local manufacturing industry.

But if you can exchange these things with oil for sale, then the wealth earned will be an amazing number. The Minister felt that if he wanted to go further up, he still needs a lot of money to support him when he climbs to the presidency.

"This condition can be agreed."

'Oil for commodities', the biggest obstacle in this cooperation agreement has been removed. The most important thing is that such transactions are carried out in the name of 'smuggling' and there are no tariff barriers. Soon, Minister Biden harvested the first order from Aurora Legion-10 million barrels of oil.

"Ten million barrels?" Minister Biden couldn't help feeling dizzy when he saw the telegram Aurora Legion asking for ten million barrels of light, low-sulfur, high-quality oil. "This is probably the transportation volume of five very large tankers, which is the average daily oil production in the United States in the past."

It seems that Aurora Legion's appetite is not small!

What does Victor Hugo need so much oil for?

Regardless of him, regardless of him, just sell the oil quickly.

The negotiating team in front has reported that the person they are currently talking to is the Minister of Mines of the Aurora Legion, who is in the official identity of the monarch.

This is to increase the confidence of Minister Biden in this "smuggling" transaction-this is oil diplomacy. As long as the business is negotiated, the tension between the two forces can be greatly eased. This is also a political plus.

"Come on, let's see what we can get from Aurora Legion?" With the Aurora Legion demand order, Minister Biden looked back again to see the list of ‘traded goods’ received before.

"Building materials? Most of our houses are made of wood, but urban buildings and roads are still inseparable from reinforced concrete. These things can be ordered."

"Pharmaceuticals and medical devices, this is even more needed. Having these things can boost my political reputation, and can also be used to calm people's emotions and draw allies. Buy more of these things."

"Consumer goods? There are many kinds of this kind. Paper products? Want. Home appliances? Want. This way there are too many things to look at, let go first."

"Chemical supplies, this is in great demand. The oil refinery is currently short of production capacity, we are still in short supply of gasoline, not to mention other chemical products. Now it is difficult to change tires."

"Ah ..., Aurora Legion actually provides complete sets of refinery equipment? Are they crazy? We are missing this thing."

"There are also oil extraction equipment, which are also complete sets? Hey ... Where do they come from? It ’s true that the local production of Victor Hugo has recovered its industrial production capacity? This is terrible."

Minister Biden circled and painted on the list while marveling that Aurora Legion's commodities are too rich to provide-all aspects of the national economy, no one can't fix them. Moreover, they have sufficient supply and large quantities.

After a while, the Minister suddenly exclaimed: "Too many things are needed, and 10 million barrels of oil can't be paid for. Hell, you have to export more oil, or sell them something else."

Whether it is buying or selling, it ’s always fun to spend money!
