"It's okay to communicate with each other. From today's first transaction, we can maintain the relationship between trading partners in the future, which is very suitable for our situation.

As sincerity, I can first talk about what we can provide.

We have rich flour, homemade canned food, and even tobacco and conventional medicines to exchange.

We can all accept your weapons, equipment, advanced technology, special medicines, and even books and materials.

In short, everything is easy to discuss. I believe that as long as I think about it for a little bit, the suggestions I put forward will be the best at the moment."

In negotiations where both sides are full of unknowns, any tricks can lead to disastrous consequences, so Lu Yu did not use any special strategies, but just made specific suggestions openly and honestly.

"Thank you for your suggestion, but this matter is of great importance. Please give me some time. It doesn't take a lot. I will give you an answer in about five minutes!"

Mr. Nord was obviously a cautious and wise man. At this time, one thing he was very glad that the two sides only communicated with voice, but did not use video communication.

Because when Lu Yu said that he could provide food, tobacco and medicine, many people in the command cabin were already excited to try it out.

Yes, their ark fleet was in short supply.

On the one hand, this ark fleet accommodates more than 10,000 people, and the daily consumption of various materials is amazing.

On the other hand, the fleet itself should be composed of four 10,000-ton arks, but one of them has been sunk during the ongoing operation.

When the conditions were limited, when each ark received supplies during the construction period, it was not the same material as the ark.

The sunken ark was even loaded with 50% of the fleet's food and daily necessities.

Although there were subsequent continuous transfers, the sinking of the ark still took away nearly a quarter of the fleet's supplies.

At the same time, more than half of the people on the ark were rescued by other arks, which made the materials consumed on other arks exceed expectations.

This ark fleet does not have people who can produce and replenish supplies. In addition to the stored food, they can only continue to risk fishing operations, and even send personnel to dive deep into the seabed to find kelp and then extract a large amount of kelp to replenish food.

Although everyone tried their best to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, due to the initial strategic mistake, they blindly went to southern Africa to log in.

As a result, I was beaten so hard that I was running around the world, and I didn’t have much chance to stop and replenish my supplies.

The food supply of the Ark Fleet was strictly rationed, and over the past few months everyone received less and less and less nutrients.

So when Lu Yu proposed to trade materials, the Ark Fleet Command began to boil.

Now we mainly divide it into two groups of opinions.

One faction believed that the fleet's relatively wealthy weapons and equipment could be used to exchange food. After all, when they built the ark, they directly settled a military 'cemetery' and brought a large amount of retired weapons and equipment in it to the ark.

The other faction had a more radical idea, which was to rely on their advantage in force to directly eat Lu Yu's ark and obtain food reserves on Lu Yu's ark through force.

The two sides started arguing. For the fleet itself, there was actually no problem with both opinions, after all, this was from their own standpoint.

But as the commander of the fleet and the creator, Mr. Nord considers the height that he considers is by no means comparable to ordinary people.

He did not stop the quarrel in the command cabin, but just came to a normal intelligence officer calmly, patted the intelligence officer on the shoulder and asked, "Tell me if there is any abnormality in the current movement."

The intelligence officers in the command module monitor and collect all information related to the Ark Fleet at any time, so that the command personnel can understand it anytime, anywhere.

This was the first time Mr. Nord was patted on the shoulder, and the intelligence officer stuttered: "Okay... OK, sir!"

Then he said: "Mr. Nord, twenty minutes ago, I found that the M Fleet's reconnaissance aircraft had not sent any news back.

Our two reconnaissance aircraft launched an unauthorized attack on an ark armed in the style of a World War II aircraft carrier. That ark should have lost its combat capability in a short period of time."

"Um..."

Mr. Nord finally made a decision, and he returned to his position and stopped everyone's argument with a loudspeaker: "Everyone is for the good of the fleet. But now we are facing a pursuit of a fleet that is stronger than ours.

Even if you cannot form an alliance with Mr. Daniel's Ark at this time, you should not go to war with them rashly.

If we are entangled and the fleet that chases us appears, wouldn’t we be in a desperate situation?

Let’s trade, no matter how much help you can get, at least you can’t establish an enemy who doesn’t know the depth at this time.

Connecting to the communication, I also want to inform Mr. Daniel of the threat we are under.

By this time, let’s make the situation more chaotic!”

After tens of seconds, the correspondent reported: "The communication is connected."

This time Mr. Nord spoke first: "Mr. Daniel, we have seriously considered your suggestions, which does take into account the situation of both of us.

But before the transaction, I need to remind you that we are fleeing from the south and are being pursued by a powerful fleet of five or six arks.

We don’t have much trading time and we may soon enter a state of war.”

"Very good, tell me what you can offer, I'll offer the price!"

Lu Yu had no intention of dragging the water, because the seaplane turtle number sent out at this time had feedback.

The Turtle flew at a low altitude of 200 kilometers and unexpectedly saw a submarine sailing on the water exposed to the bridge.

It dared not stay, and after reporting the information, it quickly took a detour and started returning.

Nord took the lead in proposing: “Since you have shown enough sincerity, it’s time for us to show sincerity now.

Helicopters, I believe you will definitely come in handy. I can provide two medium-sized multi-purpose helicopters and corresponding parts, so let’s go!”

"Good stuff." Lu Yu, Rose, Xiaopang Ge and others looked right, although in theory he had the ability to build helicopters.

But when he was building a seaplane before, he realized that the aircraft is worthy of being one of the pearls of human industry.

With his ability, it took four days to build a seaplane with propeller from beginning to end. If a helicopter is such a complex aircraft, it would be conservatively estimated for a week.

Now Lu Yu has no time to build the aircraft, and the materials stored on the ark have begun to be short of time. There are too many things to be made, so the materials can only be left in more important places for use.

But this does not mean that their ark does not require aircraft. The aircraft has many functions. However, when it is impossible to create large quantities of combat models to form combat effectiveness, it can only give way to missiles and other weapons first.

Lu Yu offered: "It's good, it's useful to us, but it's not scarce.

We can provide fifteen tons of flour, two tons of homemade canned food, and half a ton of tobacco.”

At this time, someone of Nord's subordinates couldn't help but complain: "Fifteen tons of flour? We provide two medium-sized multi-purpose helicopters. Can these two be equivalent?!"

Nord waved his hand and calmed his subordinates, saying, "To be honest, our planes are real consumables and are also very important to us.

Without enough planes, we cannot escape from the naval battle until now.

Fifteen tons of flour are really a drop in the bucket for our fleet. If a deal is reached rashly, there will probably be many oppositions within our fleet.

After experiencing continuous wars, my companions were full of anger.

I just received a report not long ago that two reconnaissance aircraft we sent out attacked an Ark carrier with a lagging weapon to a paralyzed state without my permission.

To be honest, even as a commander, I must make a decision that convinces everyone in order to realize our vision of peace.”

In fact, the conditions given by Lu Yu have already touched Nord. The key is that the conditions given by Lu Yu vaguely reveal two points of information.

First, Lu Yu's ark seems to be very rich in food, and second, Lu Yu needs a plane but it is not that important. It is very likely that they have mastered the ability to make planes.

Then reveal some of our own situations and test each other.

While revealing the importance of the aircraft to its own side, Lu Yu was also reminded by the tragic Ark aircraft carrier that if the price was too bargained, the fleet might choose to use force.

Lu Yu smiled. Although the existence of the ark aircraft carrier had been discovered through the radar just now, Lu Yu was not sure about the specific situation of the ark before the seaplane rushed over.

He said on the matter: "One of the big problems in our transactions is the equivalence. Whether you or me, renewable resources and consumable resources have different values ​​in their hearts.

We understand your difficulties and say openly that we do have the ability to produce food.

Not only that, we can also produce many weapons you already have, even more advanced weapons.

If we insist on saying what we lack, it is probably time, just give us time.

But we also have our own other ideas, and there is no need to repeat the principles now.

One thing I want to say is that we can definitely be a good trading partner and are willing to maintain long-term trade with you.

Now in terms of food, we can't add more chips, but I'm willing to add something else.

Well, then let’s have medicines, antibiotics, vitamins? Do you need them?

If needed, we can provide a portion of it within our capacity.”

"Mr. Daniel, since you have already said this, I personally think your conditions are fair.

If you can provide us with some vitamins and antibiotics, I guarantee the honor of the commander of the Alaska fleet, and we will make a deal.

And I am willing to become a long-term trading partner with you and always adhere to the principle of fairness and mutual assistance."

Nord completely showed his majesty as the creator of the fleet at this time. In any case, cooperation with Lu Yu was a worthwhile attempt.

Lu Yu discussed with Arnold who was rushing to come and said, "We can provide an additional 500 units of antibiotics, and also provide two hundred kilograms of complex vitamin tablets we produce ourselves.

In addition, my companions think we have more valuable things that may be able to trade with you, so at the time of handover, we will provide a list of goods and some materials that we may need.

For specific handover matters, let us specialized personnel from both sides connect.

Mr. Nord, you have enjoyed your deals and conversations, and thank you for providing information about your enemies.

After the transaction is completed, we will each withdraw, hoping that we can all stand until the next transaction.

Good luck to you!"

A stone in Nord's heart was put down and he murmured, "Good luck too."

At this time, the communication channel on Lu Yu had been taken over by Ross. In addition to Arnold, the heads of the weapons production department and the daily necessities production department on the Ark were gathered together to discuss the material list.
To be continued...
