Chapter 1512 - 868: Petroleum
On the helicopter.Third Uncle used the military radio to brief Li Yu on the situation and asked for his opinion.
Li Yu pondered for a long time, ultimately instructing Third Uncle to return to Oil City first.
Although Third Uncle didn’t say anything upon hearing this, he keenly sensed that Li Yu seemed to have some reservations about Southern Paradise...
After all, according to Li Yu’s past habits, regardless of who you are, if you are weaker than him and pose a threat with ill intent, he would always deal with you decisively.
....
On another front.
Li Yu put down the military radio headset and walked out of the duty room, standing on the thirty-meter-high wall, overlooking the entire Big Camphor Tree Base, feeling a strong sense of confidence.
He saw Ju Tianrui and others training in the Outer City, saw Old Lv and his team on duty, and saw numerous cooperative personnel coming and going outside the base wall......
Indeed, he was no longer alone.
In the previous life, Southern Paradise seemed so powerful, but now, compared to the Big Camphor Tree Base built with his own hands, Southern Paradise seemed not so impressive.
Regarding the issue of Southern Paradise, to be honest, Li Yu hadn’t yet decided how to interact with Southern Paradise.
Destroy it? Li Yu did not want to do that.
After all, he had briefly joined this base in the previous life.
Moreover, there hasn’t been any conflicts of interest so far, and senselessly killing so many people is something Li Yu is unwilling to do.
Although during Doomsday, Li Yu killed many people, he did so only for self-defense or due to conflicts of interest.
But he never harmed someone without reason.
Seek cooperation? The Big Camphor Tree Base currently doesn’t seem to lack many things.
Even according to Li Yu’s understanding of Southern Paradise, Southern Paradise might have a stronger demand for the Big Camphor Tree Base.
After all, they had a vast population, and food and energy were significant issues.
But these were not issues for the Big Camphor Tree Base.
Li Yu thought for a long time and decided not to proactively contact Southern Paradise for now; keeping to oneself is quite good.
If Southern Paradise actively seeks cooperation, as the cooperative recipient, there is more room for negotiation.
If Southern Paradise is different from Li Yu’s memory and wants to harm Oil City for energy, Big Camphor Tree Base is not afraid at all.
With the strength of the Big Camphor Tree Base, it can deploy Special Forces for aerial bombardment, combined with heavy artillery, extremely powerful.
Li Yu made up his mind and thus planned.
He shared his thoughts with Third Uncle and instructed Third Uncle to inform Xiao Jun and the others about the situation after returning to Oil City, urging them to be vigilant.
Oil City sits on a plain, with only a small village-town a few kilometers in radius, and the village-town was left in ruins after the typhoon.
Moreover, there are no tall trees around; if enemies appear, they can be seen clearly from Oil City.
Combined with drones rising to several hundred meters high, they can spot enemies from further away.
Therefore, if someone tries to assault Oil City, they can be spotted in advance. Using mortars and heavy artillery from Oil City, the enemies can be blown away outside.
More importantly, once Oil City is attacked, Big Camphor Tree Base can immediately send armed helicopters for support, and currently, this helicopter can carry 24 fully armed combat personnel.
Moreover, with Big Camphor Tree Base holding air superiority, it has a significant advantage in ground strikes.
"Then what about Old Bi and the others? And the few hundred tons of crude oil newly produced in the oil field? Helicopters can’t transport much oil." Third Uncle asked after hearing Li Yu’s words.
Li Yu frowned too. For Big Camphor Tree Base, oil is still extremely important. Needless to say, the missile trucks and infantry fighting vehicles they captured recently are real gas guzzlers.
However, with this equipment, the base’s strength can be significantly enhanced.
Without fuel, there is no power; these vehicles would be like scrap metal.
Although Oil City continuously produces oil, it needs to be transported back to Big Camphor Tree Base to be useful.
Furthermore, if some day Oil City is breached, crude oil stored there would be a very risky situation.
Therefore, the crude oil must be transported back!
Thinking of this, Li Yu instructed Third Uncle via military radio: "Let Old Bi and his team return; that’s the only way.
By the way, Third Uncle, Old Dong mentioned a shortage of batteries and raw materials. See if you can go to Ganli Company in New City to check it out.
It’s just not far from the Transfer Station we set up in Xiu County; after exploring, you can rest at the Transfer Station. On the other hand, it’s close to Oil City; if Old Bi and others encounter any issues transporting oil, you can quickly go over for support."
Third Uncle thought for a while and felt Li Yu’s idea was indeed beneficial in many aspects.
So he spoke up: "Alright, I’ll be stationed in Oil City tonight and head out with Old Bi and the others tomorrow. First, we’ll go to the lithium battery company in New City; later, when Old Bi and the others reach Xiu County, they can help transport what Old Dong needs."
