The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

The environment here is much better, so Yang Dalin doesn't need to specifically look for a valley or anything like that.

The forest coverage is also high.

Easy to hide.

Yang Dalin had scouted the surrounding terrain and environment.

He had already chosen his spot in advance.

He pretended that he needed to go out to make contacts, which would take about seven to ten days.

These past few days, Yang Dalin made another trip to the home of the head of the capital in the Baba Yang Bengal region (Bengal Tiger Country).

This area is still under the control of the Barbarians for the time being, and has not yet become an independent nation.

But it looks like it'll be soon.

Let's see how Baba Yang handles things. If he can maintain this area well, it will be very difficult for the Indians.

It's estimated that the independence of this area was secretly supported by India.

Because India has divided the two territories in the middle, and the distance between them is still very far, the Indian government has no way to support or influence the eastern region.

This is very troublesome; it would be strange if they didn't become independent.

No other country in the world has had its territory divided into two parts that are so far apart.

Yang Dalin came to the leaders of the eastern region of Baba Sheep because he wanted to sell them some of the grain in the space.

The main issue is that there are over seven million tons of grain in the space. Even if we provide 500,000 tons of support to the Chengdu Military Region, there will still be over six million tons of grain left.

There are too many of them; it would be difficult to take them all back.

That's not very realistic either.

It would be better to sell a large portion of it.

It seems that Russia will also be short of food next year, and has even used gold to buy food internationally. However, Yang Dalin knows that it will be difficult for China to make money from him.

Therefore, Yang Dalin doesn't need to think about the deal with the Russians next year.

It's better to just resell them locally.

Otherwise, the Russians would definitely have linked this incident to him.

The Russians are incredibly good at gathering information.

As for how many Russians will starve to death next year, and how many Indians will die, Yang Dalin couldn't care less about that.

It would be better if they all died.

All he knew was that this grain could be exchanged for countless gold, precious wood, and various valuable items.

There isn't that much gold here in Dongbaba, the area is relatively poor, and time is too tight.

One million tons of rice can now be sold internationally for about 27 tons of gold.

If Yang Dalin were to sell all six million tons of grain to them, he would need to collect approximately 162 tons of gold.

What if they can't come up with that much money? Yang Dalin then told him that he could resell it at a high price to other food-starved organizations that were trying to become independent.

They could also use some precious wood and other jewelry to pay off the debt.

What if other organizations don't have enough food?

It's very simple, just go and collect all the gold that was stolen from the Indians and gather it together.

If that's not enough, we'll just go and steal some more.

The leader of the East Barbarian Sheep happily agreed to the deal, as it would bring in a large sum of money.

In this way, Yang Dalin sold most of the space except for the grain he wanted to keep for himself.

They earned back over 150 tons of gold, along with countless jewels and many precious woods.

Yang Dalin didn't want any minerals or other things.

After the transaction was completed, Yang Dalin returned to the vicinity of the border.

More than ten days had passed by then, and Commander Ding was getting anxious.

There's no way around it; gathering supplies here is slow, and the basic transportation is terrible.

Yang Dalin could only wait a few more days.

Yang Dalin immediately went back and told Commander Ding.

Ten kilometers to the west, in a secluded forest at the foot of a mountain, there are 500,000 tons of grain and 500 trucks. Of these 500 trucks, only 20 trucks carry 50 tons of gold.

The remaining 480 trucks were filled with various precision instruments and equipment.

Five hundred thousand tons of grain is enough to feed all 100,000 soldiers of the Rongcheng Military Region for more than ten years.

Upon hearing this, Commander Ding immediately arranged for a regiment to go ahead.

Let's surround that place first, and follow Commander He's example by using a battalion to encircle the scattered Indian military camps around it. As long as they don't come out, we won't touch them.

Then another division was arranged, and later an army was sent to help.

It rains frequently here, so we need to add more people to the work.

Otherwise, if the grain gets soaked in the rain, Commander Ding would be heartbroken.

This army was also the general reserve force for this campaign; initially, the entire army was not deployed to the battlefield.

This division was sent by the Rongcheng Military Region to help.

It's because there's too much food.

We need to find a way to transport them back quickly. If we don't have time to transport that many, we'll transport them to our side of the border first, and then, like on the western side, erase all traces of them.

After being transported to the border, any items that couldn't be moved in time were covered with tents and tarpaulins.

Just make sure you don't get wet in the rain.

The rest will be shipped out slowly.

General Ding was more generous than Commander He on the western front.

Some roads here are easier to travel than the western route.

He was willing to use all the vehicles in the entire army and the five hundred trucks given by Yang Dalin for transportation.

Although there was five times more grain, there were more people and vehicles involved, so it was all transferred to the military region's warehouse in less than a week.

Even so, many of these warehouses are newly built on a temporary basis.

Although General Ding was envious of all those trucks, he generously allowed them to load the gold and machinery onto the trucks and load the grain onto the trucks belonging to the military region, and then transport them to the headquarters of the Rongcheng Military Region.

There are trains over there, so the gold and machinery can be transported by train, and the trucks can come back to transport more grain.

The older generation of generals didn't care for things like gold; what they valued was food and good weapons and equipment.

Other things are not very important to them.

Two hundred tons of gold were transported on both sides of the East and West lines, and not a single piece was lost.

This demonstrates the high quality of today's soldiers.

Yang Dalin also brought out large pieces, some weighing one kilogram or even ten kilograms, which ordinary people simply couldn't hide.

Yang Dalin followed the transport convoy, which consisted of more than 800 trucks, back to Chengdu.

For safety reasons, Yang Dalin suggested that he and several veteran transport soldiers take the initiative to lead the way.

It's already December, and although there's not as much rain on the 318 highway, the freezing cold along the way is still unbearable, and there are also occasional landslides.

So everyone drove very slowly along the way, carrying a lot of supplies.

Although vehicles sometimes break down on the road, and various malfunctions and incidents occur, the fleet's support is excellent.

It was about 1,500 kilometers, and it took us more than five days to get there. It was much faster than the previous high-altitude car tours.

The main reason is that the logistical support was excellent.

If all else fails, disassemble the car to find parts.

Just bring back the new parts and drive the car back.

At this point, there's no longer a situation where you can simply abandon the car.

Even a beat-up car is considered good these days.

However, most of the vehicles driven this time were newly captured and had been serviced before departure.

They left all the old guys in Commander Ding's camp.

There are far fewer accidents involving new cars on the road.
