Chapter 346 Bai Luo: Belena, we are friends
"Tell me, why did you come up with such an unrealistic plan for Bellena?"
Do you know how much sacrifice our Red Party will have to make to complete those two plans?
Once inside, Bai Xiumei could no longer contain her anger and snapped at Bai Luo at the door.
Seeing his aunt's anger rising rapidly, Bai Luo couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Damn Zhang Qing, leaving him all alone to take the blame."
In particular, Bai Xiumei now holds a very important position in the Red Party, and she exudes a great deal of authority.
Bai Luo was so frightened that he couldn't help but shrink back. He quickly walked to Bai Xiumei's side, and with a fawning smile, pulled Bai Xiumei's arm and pressed her down in front of the tea table.
Bai Luo quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to Bai Xiumei in a somewhat obsequious manner.
"Auntie, let me explain... no, let me clarify."
Bai Xiumei glared at Bai Luo upon hearing this, before taking the teacup Bai Luo offered and saying...
"Alright. Little Radish, I'll give you a chance to explain. Go ahead and say it."
Seeing this, Bai Luo quickly pulled over a stool and sat down next to Bai Xiumei.
Bai Luo's little brain was now spinning at a speed comparable to a Gatling gun.
After briefly organizing his thoughts, Bai Luo began to speak.
"Aunt, actually these two plans weren't prepared for you."
"Oh?"
This sentence quelled half of Bai Xiumei's anger, but Bai Xiumei was still puzzled, as the only anti-Japanese force in the entire northern province was the Red Party.
If this plan isn't for the Red Party, then who is it for?
Bai Xiumei became curious and quickly pressed for an answer.
"If it's not for us, then who is it for?"
Bai Luo then pointed his index finger at himself.
"You? That's even worse. Do you know how dangerous those two plans are? Little Carrot, I know you're capable, but even if you're capable, how many of you are there? Plus..."
"More than 10,000 people. A fully mechanized force."
Bai Luo's casual remark immediately shut Bai Xiumei up.
Bai Xiumei's head was buzzing, her mind replaying what her little radish had just said.
"Mechanized troops, more than 10,000 people..."
Seeing her aunt fall silent, Bai Luo immediately spoke again.
“Aunt, even if Belena hadn’t come to us for advice, we had already planned to take Ershi in one fell swoop while the Japanese soldiers in the northern fortress were tied up in Xiong Guo.”
Now that your plans have been exposed, we're just taking this opportunity to fleece the Xiong Kingdom.
Don't worry, I'll compensate you with some supplies.
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiumei finally came to her senses and looked at her nephew with a complicated expression.
Suddenly, she felt that her beloved nephew had become a stranger to her.
No, he's been mysterious ever since he met Little Radish.
Bai Xiumei fell silent at this moment.
When Bai Xiumei came out of Bai Luoshi's house, it was already midnight.
But Bai Xiumei was not sleepy at all; she just hoped that there would be news from Bellena as soon as possible.
Because Bai Luo promised her that once he had finalized the cooperation with Bellena, he would take her to visit the military base.
However, Bai Xiumei still felt that everything she heard today felt very unreal.
Bai Xiumei looked up at the bright moonlight overhead, sighed, and then headed straight for Gao Qiang and the others' temporary camp.
She needed to quickly relay this message to the Red Party headquarters. She had a premonition; although she hadn't seen the troops Bai Luo had mentioned, she had a vague feeling about it.
The situation in the northern province is about to change.
Their Red Party also needs to prepare early.
12: in the morning.
Belena, holding the reply from the high-ranking officials of the Bear Kingdom, excitedly arrived at Bai Luo's stone house.
"Xiao Luo, are you asleep?"
Bellena stood at the door of Bai Luo's stone house and asked Bai Luo inside in a low voice.
"Belena, come in."
Bai Luo heard the sound coming from outside the door and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
He thought to himself, "The Xiong people are indeed eager to come to my door and fleece me."
Upon hearing this, Bellena quickly came in.
Seeing Bai Luo sitting at the table, she quickly walked over and sat down opposite Bai Luo.
"Xiao Luo, our higher-ups are very interested in these two plans, but you need to let me confirm first that you really have the capability to take over Er City or attack the arsenal."
And what are your conditions?
Upon hearing this, Bai Luo spoke up.
"No problem, I can take you to our unit's base anytime."
Upon hearing this, Bellena thought for a moment and then said...
"Then let's do it tomorrow morning. Now we can discuss your terms."
Upon hearing this, Bai Luo smiled and took out a piece of paper from his side pocket, on which were the conditions that he had already discussed with Zhang Qing.
Belena was stunned when she saw this.
She suddenly felt like she'd been tricked, but she still reached out and took the paper Bai Luo handed her.
Then quickly open the note and carefully read its contents.
However, to her surprise, the conditions listed above were not the exorbitant prices that Bellena had in mind.
Instead, he proposed two conditions that were both quite ordinary and somewhat baffling to Bellena.
The note Bai Luo gave to Bellena contained two requests.
First, provide the bullets.
The second supplier of artillery shells.
Belena couldn't understand why Bai Luo and the others would make such a simple request, so she simply asked Bai Luo directly.
"Xiao Luo, what does this mean? Why are there only bullets and shells? Don't you need any other weapons?"
Bai Luo smiled slightly upon hearing this and shook his head, indicating that he did not need a weapon.
Then he took out the 7.62mm and 12.7mm caliber bullets that he had prepared beforehand.
He then moved the special shells for his artillery array from a corner to the table.
He then took out another piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Bellena.
"The above are the production requirements and caliber dimensions for these bullets and shells."
Seeing Bellena's increasingly confused expression, Bai Luo continued to earnestly try to deceive her.
"Belena, we are friends. After all, fighting the Japanese is also our goal, so I, Bai Luo, would never do anything to take advantage of someone in distress."
Our request is simple: just help us produce these bullets and shells.
After all, as you know, whether it's attacking Ershi or raiding important Japanese strongholds, a large number of bullets and shells are needed.
We don't have our own bullet production line, so these two conditions are the most pressing issues we need to address right now.
Only with enough bullets and shells can we be confident of capturing Ershi and cutting off all the Japanese supply lines to their northern fortresses.
"Is there a specific quantity?"
Bellena raised the question that had been on her mind.
Bai Luo shook his head and said.
"I can't give you a specific number right now. How about this, I won't make things difficult for you. We'll stop supplying ammunition after you defeat the Japanese, how about that?"
After listening to Bai Luo's request, Bellena looked at the drawing of the shells and bullet parameters on the paper in her hand.
The materials used to make the bullets and shells described here are no different from those used by the regular bullets and shells, except for the caliber.
For the industrially advanced Xiong Kingdom, its arsenal could complete the production line modifications in no more than two days.
Thinking of this, Bellena looked up at Bai Luo again.
Are you sure that's all?
Bai Luo nodded, then hesitated for a moment before adding another sentence.
"We may consume a large amount of bullets and shells. Hopefully, after agreeing to cooperate, there will be no shortage of ammunition."
Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to guarantee that we could stop the Japanese advance when we lack ammunition.
Bellena didn't seem to care much when she heard this. She felt that Bai Luoti's request was not a problem at all for the industrially strong Xiong Kingdom.
Before she arrived, the Xiong Kingdom's high-ranking officials had already prepared for the possibility that Bai Luo might make exorbitant demands.
But to everyone's surprise, Bai Luo's request was so simple.
Thinking of this, Bellena patted her chest and assured him.
"Xiao Luo, don't worry, we are friends."
"Once our higher-ups agree to cooperate, I will personally oversee the supply of ammunition you need, and I will absolutely ensure you never experience a shortage."
Thinking about this, Belena suddenly realized that if the bullets were produced and transported in the Bear Country, it might be a problem.
Bellena quickly changed her tune.
"Xiao Luo, let's add one more condition."
After you take over Er City, we'll send you a production line for each type of bullet and shell.
This also ensures that if transportation problems occur, there won't be a short-term shortage of ammunition.
Upon hearing this, Bai Luo was surprised to hear such good news and secretly gave Bellena a thumbs up.
After seeing Bellena off very attentively, Bai Luo returned to the tea table to wait for news from Bellena.
