Traveling through 1942 with space

Chapter 307: Getting in touch 1

When Alman heard what supplies Hou Xiaoge needed, he also smiled.

In fact, in his opinion, Hou Xiaoge was overthinking it. The most that Kazakhs could trade was some cattle and sheep furs. The meat was not enough to support the front line, and they had no say in the matter.

In recent years, most of the Kazakh supplies have been used to support the front line. They are reluctant to eat beef and mutton themselves. Usually they just catch some wild animals to eat. The roast lamb tonight was specially approved by the farm.

There is no way. Mao Zedong in this era was a real red and would give everything for the sickle and axe.

Although traditional materials cannot be provided, it does not prevent them from using other materials to meet Hou Xiaoge’s requirements!

In recent years, their Russian big brothers have moved many large factories to Kazakhstan, using Kazakhstan's various mineral resources to produce large quantities of military equipment.

"Mr. Hunter, you are joking. You are businessmen and you should know that we have been short of food, meat and other supplies in recent years.

We don’t have enough meat and other supplies ourselves, and even if we trade, it can only be done in small quantities, which would be meaningless.

The East where your company is located is also fighting against fascism. Their weapons are backward, which happens to be our strength.

As the balance of victory in the Great Patriotic War has tilted towards our side, we are now much more relaxed in terms of weapons.

According to the items you have traded in the past two days, we can trade some of our weapons and machinery with you." Arman said with a smile.

"That would be the best!" Hou Xiaoge also wanted this result.

During the negotiation, Hou Xiaoge also asked the other party for several sets of food processing equipment and water conservancy equipment, preparing to get the space for production.

These days, Hou Xiaoge also discovered that the local people are in urgent need of biscuits, bread and other foods, and the prices are also very high.

These items are all in necessities. In addition, there is so much food in Hou Xiaoge's space, so it would be great to let the tens of thousands of free laborers in the space help with production after class.

Because the farm was only a small place and the transportation of goods took time, the two parties agreed to conduct another transaction in three days.

This time the transaction figures are much larger, and the items required are more expensive.

Of course Hou Xiaoge didn't dare to provide more. He only provided 40 tons of tea, 40 tons of wine, 1,000 boxes of cigarettes, and 5,000 doses of medicine.

The two parties agreed that the prices of these materials would first be calculated in rubles, and then the prices of arms, machinery, etc. would be calculated in rubles other than rubles.

At that time, the exchange rate of one ruble to the US dollar was 4.5:1, and one ruble was equivalent to about or cents.

The price of these supplies is about 3.5 million rubles, which is 40% cheaper than the price Hou Xiaoge sold them to the farm. But there is no other way, so just consider it as paying taxes.

Of course, this price is already sky-high. If converted into ocean dollars in the country, it is probably less than one million.

Knowing that the Russian upper class was greedy, Hou Xiaoge gave Alman a three-pound golden horse at the end of the banquet.

Sure enough, few people would refuse such golden items. After receiving the golden horse, Alman became even more enthusiastic towards Hou Xiaoge.

……

"Billy, take the brothers to break camp and do a good job of rear-end reconnaissance. We are going to receive supplies fifty kilometers away." After returning to the camp, Hou Xiaoge instructed the mercenaries who had been waiting fully armed.

"Yes!"

All the cars were driven away and everyone gradually disappeared into the night.

Hou Xiaoge was not afraid of being followed in the desolate Gobi Desert in the dark night, as people could no longer be seen if they were more than a few dozen meters away. After crossing a hill, even the sound of cars could hardly be heard.

However, just in case, Hou Xiaoge and his younger brothers moved forward while he rode on Black Panther to quickly patrol the front and back.

"If you follow me, then stay!" A few hundred meters away, Hou Xiaoge looked at several spies who were following him quietly on horseback, and sent them off with a flying knife.

Hou Xiaoge was not afraid of offending these spies who followed him, as he did everything in private and no one would admit it.

After dealing with the tail end, Hou Xiaoge rode his horse quickly to the entrance of a valley and asked Ling'er to open the space gate directly to the valley.

The car slowly entered the valley, and the environment where the space connected to the valley was simulated to be the same as outside, pitch black.

After everyone came in, they saw only a cave filled with various supplies. No one said anything. Mercenaries are also soldiers and they obey orders.

"Our task is quite arduous, moving all these materials onto these trucks within one day.

After completing the mission, each person will be rewarded with five dollars or a pack of cigarettes or a bottle of liquor. You can choose. "Hou Xiaoge pointed at the supplies and said to the thirty mercenaries.

In fact, there is no need to give any reward, but in order to motivate them, Hou Xiaoge still gave everyone a little sweet treat.

There were less than 100 tons of cargo in total, and one person carried less than 4 tons. They were all young and strong men, and they often cooked a small meal. It was not used all night, and it took only four or five hours at most.

As the deputy head of the group, Hou Xiaoge naturally did not move them, otherwise what would he do with these animals! A leader should act like a leader.

However, instead of moving the goods, Hou Xiaoge told everyone that he was going to prepare some delicious food, which naturally made all the younger brothers grateful.

Looking at his younger brothers who worked as hard as little wolfhounds, Hou Xiaoge rode his horse into the darkness.

"Ling'er, make a big plate of chicken for us to eat." Hou Xiaoge had barely touched a knife and fork at the banquet tonight and was now hungry.

"Okay, Master!"

Because time was accelerated, in a short while, a large plate of fragrant chicken made from a rooster weighing more than ten pounds that was fed with magical medicine and specially provided for Hou Xiaoge to replenish his body was placed on the table.

Looking at the fragrant chicken and side dishes piled on a large round plate with a diameter of one meter, Hou Xiaoge couldn't wait to start eating.

After eating and drinking, Hou Xiaoge adjusted his time and took a nap.

After sleeping for more than three hours, Hou Xiaoge looked towards the mercenary team that had finished the transportation. He saw that everyone had finished the operation and was now resting.

"Not bad, no laziness!"

Hou Xiaoge harnessed Black Panther to the carriage and pulled out the barbecue rice that Ling'er had made.

"Brothers, I got some delicious food from the caravan. Let's eat!" Hou Xiaoge stood next to the carriage.

Everyone was already exhausted and hungry after carrying so many supplies, so naturally they were very enthusiastic when they heard about eating.

"Deputy Captain, what's delicious?"

"I feel like I could eat a cow right now!"

"My stomach acid is coming up!"

……

One by one, the soldiers rushed up with their lunch boxes.

"The main course is barbecue rice, and each person has three large chicken legs. After the meal, each person has two large apples and an orange, and we drink red wine." Hou Xiaoge said, pointing to the carriage.

"Wow! Red wine."

"Hurry, hurry, I want to eat a big chicken drumstick."

Everyone was drooling after hearing this and couldn't wait to start getting their meals.

Excellent ingredients and delicious food can best soothe people's hearts. The mercenaries ate the delicious meals, sipping red wine from time to time, with happy expressions on their faces.

Hou Xiaoge brought a lot of food, and after the meal, many mercenaries secretly hid a portion. The apples and oranges were also left uneaten, so they were all packed up.

Hou Xiaoge turned a blind eye to this situation. As long as the food was not wasted, it was fine. He didn't care whether they kept it for themselves or for something else.

"Everyone has eaten and drunk enough. After distributing the rewards, we will take a rest. If you need US dollars, the company will keep them for you. If you need supplies, they will be distributed on the spot. If you want money, come and register." Hou Xiaoge said directly.

"We need supplies!" everyone said in unison without even thinking.
