He Runxian was in an extremely foul mood. Left Dragon City's move of "assisting with defense" was truly shameless.
Combat strength was scarce everywhere on the planet now. Was a factory that had basically stopped production really worth assigning people to help defend?
If we were really that important, then at the very least... you should give us some military orders, right?
Yet this was a move he could not refuse. There were many reasons for assisting with defense, but broadly speaking, it meant the local authorities considered a certain location highly important and deemed such action necessary. They also had the authority to refuse any clear explanation.
Hesheng could disagree, but it could not oppose it. This involved a key position on the battlefield and could very likely influence the course of the war.
He Runxian had been unable to reach the broker. Earlier, he had thought the other party might be busy transporting goods and had no time to respond, and that there would be news in a couple of days. But now that "assisting with defense" had appeared, the other party probably would never trade with him again.
That afternoon, he listlessly called again. "Is the gentleman there? Headquarters has rushed out another batch of mining equipment."
But the next moment, a miracle happened. The other side actually responded. "Are you so sure I still need mining equipment?"
"Eh?" He Runxian was greatly surprised for a moment, but then he recalled some of Uncle Huiqing's guesses.
He gave a dispirited, bitter laugh. "So you really are connected to Left Dragon City. The moment assisting with defense came up, you had time to answer me? Come on, even if you want to haggle, there's no need to use such a disgusting tactic, is there?"
