Chapter 431 Meeting and Appointment (4)
When seeing everyone throwing the problems at him, Yi Beiwang finally figured out why he was appointed as the Minister of Logistics.
From the conversation just now, we learned that the Mojave defenders were short of various supplies. It just so happened that a famine had broken out around Shayin City, and they were unable to transfer large amounts of supplies.
Even if Kimball gritted his teeth and tried his best, winter would soon come. Once it snowed, it would be impossible for the wasteland people to transport the goods over with just their legs and two-headed cows when the roads were blocked by heavy snow.
As for the Crimson Merchant Corps whose granary was accidentally burned down, regardless of whether it was a fire dragon that burned the granary or something else, at least they were unable to provide support.
Looking at the entire Mojave, the only one who can negotiate and has large amounts of supplies is his own eBay Merchant Group.
It just so happens that he is an official of NCR. Maybe Kimball promoted him in order to win him over and deceive the eBay Merchants Group into providing money and food to support the Mojave defenders.
Oh, what a good plan...
Yi Beiwang spread his hands, put his legs on the table and said in a shameless manner: "I don't have any ideas. These days, everyone can hardly afford to eat. What ideas can I have? The landlords don't have any surplus food."
"If you really want to talk about it, you might as well sell General Oliver's heavy armored troops. Maybe they can survive this winter."
"General, please set an example. Three thousand soldiers are waiting for you to distribute money and supplies."
Oliver laughed at this and scolded, "Now you are the one in charge of the logistics department. If anyone wants to transfer any supplies, they have to get your approval. The responsibility of distributing supplies has also fallen on your head."
"No one can lay hands on my heavy armored troops, and you still want to buy them? Humph, aren't you afraid of being stuffed to death?"
"Hey, even if you want to sell it, I won't buy it. This little junk won't even cover the gas money to ship it back."
Yi Beiwang responded nonchalantly, a mere thirty power armors without a power system, to put it nicely they are armors, to put it bluntly they are a burden, how many people can wear them?
He was too lazy to take them even if they were given to him for free, and they were difficult to dismantle even if they were sold as scrap metal, so only Oliver treated them as treasures.
In a word, he cannot be a sucker. Without some practical benefits, anyone can be the Minister of Logistics.
Colonel Xu also noticed this and had already prepared a countermeasure. He took out two file bags from his arms and pushed them in front of Yi Beiwang.
Yi Beiwang opened it and saw two blank captain's appointment letters inside. He could just write his name on them and use them. They even came with blank certificates and badges.
Colonel Xu explained: "First, I will give you the authority to appoint two captains. If you want more, you can discuss it with me."
"If I remember correctly, there seems to be a former NCR lieutenant and a former Brotherhood paladin in your camp. Aren't they your right-hand men? With this military rank, you will be more adept at doing things in the future."
"In addition, I will give you 50 soldiers for each captain, a total of 100 people. You can let them do whatever you want, even if they all go to farm. But you are responsible for their equipment, weapons and supplies."
"Of course, I also need you to approve some equipment for me. I need thirty trucks and thirty power armors."
Wow, you are so bold. Such a small number of people dare to exchange so many things. You are worthy of being a colonel. You are so brave.
Yi Beiwang thought for a moment and said, "Twenty trucks and ten power armors. Forget about more."
"Deal, your soldiers will be waiting for you in Novak today."
Colonel Xu laughed happily. Seeing this, Yi Beiwang slapped his head in annoyance, thinking that he had estimated it too high.
Seeing this, others also began to exchange their existing things with Yi Beiwang.
Boone could bring troops to support the Yibe Merchant Group in times of crisis, in exchange for enough bullets and food for the reconnaissance battalion.
Royce was willing to give a hundred horses to form a cavalry, and he also asked for trucks and power armor.
Hanlon was willing to share the Rangers' intelligence system. He had spies in every corner of the Mojave and could provide all kinds of intelligence in a timely manner in exchange for enough food for the winter.
As for Moore, the officer stationed at the Hoover Dam had nothing to show for it, but he got the supplies he wanted with just one sentence.
"I am stationed at the Hoover Dam. If the soldiers here and I starve to death, all the Mojave people will be slaughtered and enslaved by the Legion. Then you, the Minister of Logistics, will not have an easy time either."
What he said made sense, and Yi Beiwang was convinced, so he had to send her the supplies with great reluctance.
Oliver was the only one who didn't speak. He seemed very confident. Yi Beiwang couldn't help but ask, "Don't you want to order anything? I can sell it to you at a 12% discount."
Oliver smiled contemptuously and said, "What's mine may not be everyone else's, but what's everyone else's is definitely mine. If you give them supplies, it's like giving them to me."
"Besides, even if I don't tell you, do you dare to starve me, the governor, to death? You don't dare."
"Young man, learn this. This is the benefit of having power."
Yi Beiwang nodded in agreement, looking at the gorgeous military uniform on Oliver, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.
Power? That's a really good thing, but it's a little hard to grab...
Colonel Xu noticed Yi Beiwang's look, coughed a few times to attract everyone's attention, and said, "Since our Minister Yi has generously come to our rescue, let's go today and go back and think about how to survive the winter."
"Beiwang, come with me. I'll take you to hand over the work."
Ahaha, are we going to take over Mojave’s logistics system? Are huge wealth and prosperity about to come?
After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how poor NCR is, there should be some profit to be made from the logistics department.
Why do people buy official positions? Of course, it’s to make money. You can’t just beg for food on your knees, hahahaha…
Yi Beiwang happily followed Colonel Xu to take over the work, but he did not notice that Oliver behind him had a mocking smile on his face.
