However, Chu Yue Yue was displeased that Zhao Yu would gain a share of her stock just for the price of holding off Black Rock City.
“Do you lack weapons? I can also support you with a batch of weapons!” The most abundant resources Zhao Yu currently had were weapons and equipment.
These items were the easiest to manufacture, as long as there was enough steel.
Unlike soldiers, who were limited by technology points.
During this time, Zhao Family Fort was constantly went out to war.
They had annexed dozens of small villages, large villages, and strongholds, sweeping through all the settlements within a thirty-kilometer radius.
They had gained a lot of resources, especially three mines, They also obtained several farms and rice fields, enough to feed a hundred thousand people.
“Weapons, how many can you support?!” Chu Yue Yue was quite tempted. Peace Town didn’t have a weapon production line, and their soldiers’ equipment was all bought with money.
Moreover, to prevent other cities from discovering her private army, she had sent people in small groups to secretly purchase from various places.
The equipment needed by the soldiers in the open was obtained in Peace Town’s name at a discounted price through trade with surrounding cities.
But for weapons and ammunition, one can never have too much. Perhaps a single battle could deplete years of reserves.
“Five thousand rifles, a million rounds of ammunition, a hundred mortars, how about that?”
Hisss!
Chu Yue Yue gasped in surprise, not expecting Zhao Yu to be so wealthy.
However, she thought carefully. Given Zhao Yu’s backing by a major group and owning a weapon production line, these things didn’t seem so surprising.
“I heard… in your previous battle with the Han family, you used tanks?!”
“That’s right!”
“Can you support me with some tanks?!” Chu Yue Yue tentatively asked.
She genuinely didn’t have such equipment. Although Peace Town also had several major businesses, they flatly refused to trade tanks with her.
Moreover, the price was exorbitant, and she lacked the financial power to afford them.
Zhao Yu laughed, “I have many tanks, but…”
“But what?!” Chu Yue Yue eagerly asked.
“But, I’ve been missing you!” Zhao Yu coughed, brazenly saying.
Chu Yue Yue’s cheeks flushed, remembering that every time Zhao Yu asked to meet her in the past, it would lead to certain activities.
Still, she was unsure of Zhao Yu’s intentions.
“Zhao Yu, you should understand that romantic affairs are no longer the top priority…”
She couldn’t understand why Zhao Yu, who was also a person with a strong sense of career, would say such a thing.
Zhao Yu, however, had another idea in mind.
For surpassing Peace Town and even the surrounding three cities was just a matter of time.
His ambition was greater; he wanted to absorb Peace Town and the other three cities in the future.
Otherwise, why would he aid his enemy?
Right now, if he could lay the groundwork with Chu Yue Yue, she could help manage the cities once they were conquered.
Zhao Yu was very clear about his strengths and advantages.
His advantage was owning a base that could continuously produce war weapons and soldiers.
He wasn’t afraid of fighting wars; in fact, he enjoyed it.
But when it came to managing cities, he was lost. Meng Xian, one person could only do so much, and managing Zhao Family Fort was already overwhelming for her.
In contrast, Chu Yue Yue was exceptionally capable as she was managing Peace Town all by herself. His last visit there left a good impression.
Moreover, Chu Yue Yue was thinking about building a city, and she might become his right-hand person in the future.
“When I had no career, my mind was filled with nothing but career pursuits…”
Zhao Yu said sentimentally, “But after achieving all this, I realized that the people I’ve let down the most in my life are you four…”
“???” Chu Yue Yue was puzzled at first, but after a while, she seemed to understand.
After all, Zhao Yu did not start as high as she did. Reaching his current level seemed to have satisfied him.
He naturally began to think about other aspects of life.
If she rekindled her relationship with Zhao Yu, couldn’t she leverage his connections?
At this moment, while she was still full of ambition, she didn’t realize that Zhao Yu was using this to his advantage.
Who would end up working for whom was still not certain!
Chu Yue Yue took a deep breath and said, “I… I’ve been missing you too…”
Success!
Zhao Yu smiled slightly, “When shall we meet?”
“…How many tanks can you support?” Chu Yue Yue was afraid this question might ruin her image in Zhao Yu’s mind, but she had to ask.
“I currently have ten tanks, ready to be dispatched…”
“How about tomorrow? Is tomorrow good?” Chu Yue Yue was delighted.
“That’s fine, where shall we meet?”
“There’s a place called Black Wind Stronghold to the south, do you know it?”
“I know it!”
“Let’s meet there. I will prepare the necessary items for your investment beforehand…”
“Then I’ll also prepare the cannons and rifles beforehand…”
The more they talked, the more Chu Yue Yue felt that Zhao Yu had really changed, as if he was already satisfied with his achievements.
She smiled secretly to herself. On the road to success, taking Zhao Yu under her wing seemed feasible.
If Xu Jia Lu and Fang Yue E knew that Zhao Yu was conquered by her, just the thought was amusing.
“Alright, it’s a date, I look forward to seeing you!”
“I’m looking forward to it too!”
