The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System
Chapter 29: Shattered Mountains and Rivers
General Wang Yingdao and the other leaders were all taken aback. General Wang Yingdao couldn't help but ask, "Looking for someone they can talk to? The most influential person isn't a good person!"
Ruan Mianmian said with a deep expression, "What I actually wanted to advise them on was something. I wanted them to go west instead of east. After all, durian tastes better than pineapple. And the durian area is huge; they can take over as much land as they want and be in charge of their own destiny. Isn't that better?"
Staff Officer Sun Changsheng paused for a moment and said, "There is a large piece of land there that has belonged to us since ancient times, so it would be appropriate to go there."
The top leader's mind flashed through the contents of the video, and he said, "There is a lot of coastline there. Occupying more of it will make it more suitable for the struggle for sea power. I think that in the future there will be aircraft carriers, which means that the development will be towards the sea. In addition, the strategic significance is also remarkable. The most basic function is to serve as a buffer zone."
Ruan Mianmian was inwardly impressed: "The leaders truly deserve to be called military strategists and tacticians!" She paused, then added...
"In our area, because of one wrong decision by the East, our pineapple region has become a huge problem. America always uses it as a bargaining chip, which is incredibly annoying. In addition, the durian region is also full of ungrateful wretches, almost all of whom are close to America. The East guy has a lot of flaws, but he has always supported one country, which is still good."
If the East Coast forces retreat to the durian area and establish themselves as the ruling power, then at least they have secured the land. Even if America causes trouble, we will have a legitimate reason to act and treat it as a shelved territory. Most importantly, the pineapple area will not need to be divided.
As for whether the Eastern faction can occupy land, that's not the issue.
In her world, even a defeated remnant of the Eastern Faction could easily crush their way to the Durian area. Wouldn't it be even easier if the Eastern Faction had so many fresh troops running there?
After seeing off General Wang Yingdao and his entourage, Ruan Mianmian felt very sad.
Although she knew that the soldiers would come up again to carry more food, she was certain that the leaders would not come up again.
People in their position have too many things to do and don't have much free time.
After that, as long as the weather was still okay, the soldiers from both sides of the snow mountain would come up to carry food, clothing and other necessary supplies.
Among them, the number of people coming from the south of the snow mountain is not large, with no more than 10 people coming each time, and they don't move much either.
On the north side of the snow-capped mountain, more soldiers who had already crossed the mountain arrived, with no fewer than 200 soldiers each time. They carried supplies up the snow-capped mountain like ants moving house, forming a long queue.
As Ruan Mianmian watched, she felt even more moved by the hardships the soldiers had endured.
She had considered moving the shopping mall to the north side of the snow mountain, but firstly, it hadn't been two months yet and the mall couldn't be moved; secondly, the south side of the snow mountain also needed food, and the soldiers who hadn't yet crossed the snow mountain could rest at the mall while they were crossing it. So, she could only watch helplessly as the soldiers spent a lot of manpower to move the food.
This moving operation lasted for more than three months.
After the First Resistance Army had been carrying supplies for more than a month, the enemy arrived, and the First Resistance Army had no choice but to withdraw.
Fortunately, upon learning that there was food on the snow-capped mountain, another retreating army quickly arrived and began to transport the supplies after the enemy withdrew.
That day, as the soldiers carried supplies out of the mall's main entrance, they suddenly saluted Ruan Mianmian.
Ruan Mianmian was somewhat puzzled, but she immediately returned the salute.
Zhang Ying put down her hand, walked up to Ruan Mianmian, and while helping Ruan Mianmian straighten her collar, said, "Mianmian, we have enough supplies. From now on, we won't come to transport supplies anymore except for the soldiers crossing the snow-capped mountains. We've discussed it, and it's too lonely for you to wait here alone. So, if possible, please go back to 90 years in the future as soon as possible."
Go back to her time, and shine in that wonderful era.
And they will fight for a better future for her and those younger generations.
Ruan Mianmian was taken aback: "Are there enough supplies?"
“Yes, that’s enough.” Zhang Ying nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, “We’ve never been so wealthy.”
Ruan Mianmian felt a pang of loss: "That's good, that's good." She was very reluctant to part with Zhang Ying, so she couldn't help but ask, "Why don't we move more and distribute some to the local people along the way?"
"The grain for the next few days was carried by the people. The soldiers carried it halfway up the mountain, and then the local villagers carried it down." After Zhang Ying finished speaking, she advised again, "Mianmian, you are too lonely by yourself. Go home."
Zhang Ying, who was walking ahead, did not hear what Ruan Mianmian said to the leaders and General Wang Yingdao that day, so she strongly urged Ruan Mianmian to go back.
Ruan Mianmian shook her head: "No, I need to go see someone influential in the Eastern faction and persuade them on some matters."
Actually, she really wanted to go to Yanzhou when General Wang Yingdao and the others invited her.
However, to meet with the top leaders of the Eastern faction, she must ensure the mall opens; otherwise, she will not only be unable to meet with them, but also lack the leverage to persuade them.
The mall can only open once more, so after meeting the person from the Eastern faction, she can no longer retrieve supplies, making it pointless to go to Yanzhou again.
Most importantly, time doesn't allow it.
She can only stay in this world for six months. It's been three and a half months now, so there are only two and a half months left. She probably won't be able to go that far.
Zhang Ying, like Comrade Wang, was quite surprised. After hearing Ruan Mianmian's reason, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In that case, I'll go with you." Seeing Ruan Mianmian's worried expression, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm of low rank, and the people from the Eastern Faction have basically never seen me before. I'll just change my clothes."
Seeing Zhang Ying's resolute expression, Ruan Mianmian knew she couldn't persuade her, so she took her into the mall, quickly picked out a few sets of the most ordinary summer clothes, then had the fat system close the mall, and they headed towards the southern end of the snow mountain together.
It was a bit cold on the snowy mountain, but once they got down, the heat made them both sweat profusely.
Ruan Mianmian and Zhang Ying washed up briefly at a local villager's home, changed their clothes, ate a meal, and then went to sleep.
The next day, the two left behind five catties of flour and headed straight for more bustling towns and cities.
Walking on this land, Ruan Mianmian truly understood what it meant to be overgrown with weeds and what it meant to be devastated.
What worried her even more were the ordinary people she occasionally encountered along the way.
Almost every one of them looked malnourished. Their patched clothes were too big for their thin bodies, swaying back and forth. Coupled with their numb and lifeless faces, they didn't look like living people at all, but rather like zombies.
Moreover, most people are basically barefoot!
Because she was worried that Zhang Ying wouldn't have anything to eat on the road, Ruan Mianmian asked the fat system for her own two-person portion every time she ate, and she paid for it according to the largest portion.
But in reality, Ruan Mianmian could only eat one-third of a meal.
Therefore, she can give two-thirds of it to the elderly and children she meets along the way.
Zhang Ying also gave half.
But this is undoubtedly a drop in the ocean.
Noticing Ruan Mianmian's expression, Zhang Ying pointed to the bombed vegetation and dilapidated houses around them to change the subject: "These were all destroyed during our Western Squad's counter-encirclement campaign against the enemy. The phrase 'our motherland's land is shattered' has a literal meaning to it."
