The Dongsheng Empire's thermal oil production is not much, and most of it relies on imports from other countries, if the price soars, the burden on the empire will become bigger and bigger: "Sister-in-law, have you checked it, what is the reason?" ”

Xin Huilan nodded and said: "Most of our thermal oil is purchased from the Qingwu Empire in the west and the Yulin Empire in the northwest, I heard that their thermal oil reserves are close to exhaustion, and they are looking for new oil mines, and now they maintain a minimum of exploitation, barely maintaining their own consumption, the quantity exported to us will gradually fall, and the price will increase accordingly." I heard all about it from the other party's businessmen, and I don't know if it's the case, so you have to find out for yourself. ”

Yuan Fangyin smiled and said: "Do you still need to check this, it is obvious that they want to threaten us with this." ”

Xin Huilan was not surprised, she also thought of this factor, and said lightly: "What are you going to do?" If there is not enough fire oil, the Air Force does not have incendiary bombs? Why don't we contact other countries and see if we can buy cheap oil? ”

Yuan Fang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll deal with this, they want to blackmail me, they think too simply." Sister-in-law, after you go back, tell Da Mei to stop purchasing fire oil for the time being, and at the same time release the news that our air force is ready to install a weapon that is more powerful than incendiary bombs. ”

Xin Huilan didn't ask much, and agreed with a smile: "Okay, your kid has a lot of ghost ideas, and we just do it." ”

Yuan Fang continued: "By the way, sister-in-law, how is our green plum cultivation? ”

Xin Huilan thought for a while and said: "The effect is not very good, I can't make ends meet, and the yield is too low." How? Did you think of a better way? ”

Yuan Fang sighed and said, "No, I also have a headache for this, continue to let people study it." ”

Sending Xin Huilan away, Yuan Fang sat on the sofa in the living room with a sad face, the appearance of the air force represents the Dongsheng Empire stepping into the ranks of powerful countries, and while the military force is strong, it will also bring some bad effects, these Yuan Fang had expected it before, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, and the first to do the black hand was actually the Qingwu Empire and the Yulin Empire, which had a good relationship.

Sang Rou asked curiously: "Brother-in-law, does the Air Force really want to install new weapons?" ”

Hongyi, who had been sitting on the side and sipping melon seeds, heard that his eyes lit up, and he ran over and asked, "Really?" What weapons? Is it more powerful than that incendiary bomb? ”

Yuan Fang ignored the red clothes and said depressedly: "What kind of heart weapon, I just put a smoke and see the reaction of the Qingwu Empire and the Yulin Empire." Sang Rou, when will they come back? ”

Sang Rou shook her head and said: "I don't know, the negotiations haven't started yet, the border is still in a state of combat readiness, and I have to wait until the negotiations are over." Brother-in-law, are you going to do so? Sang Rou didn't finish her words, but everyone understood what she meant, and she was asking Yuan Fang if she was planning to give the Qingwu Empire and the Yulin Empire some color.

Yuan Fang shook his head and said, "It's not that far, I want them to see our strength first, let them calm down, and don't go too far." In this way, since Yuqing and the others will not be able to come back for a while, wait for you to go to the palace, tell Yang Xing about this matter, and ask him to transfer ten airships to the western border with our airships, and throw Molotov cocktails outside the camp of the defenders of the Qingwu Empire in the name of acting. ”

Sang Rou understood, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go now." ”

Yuan Fang reminded: "This time the combustion heat does not use fire oil. ”

Sang Rou stopped and asked suspiciously, "Don't use oil oil?" What is that used for? ”

Yuan Fangyin smiled and said: "With alcohol, the alcohol we reserve should be enough, don't feel distressed, and throw it all out." ”

Sang Rou didn't ask much, changed her shoes and dared to go to the palace, and informed Tian Erniu of the guards to prepare to sail. Not long after, Sang Rou came back from the palace, Yang Xing was equally angry after learning about this, and agreed to Yuan Fang's plan without saying a word, and allocated Yuan Fang twenty forbidden army air patrol airships at one time.

Hongyi has been paying attention to the development of the situation, and when she saw that she had the opportunity to go out, she shouted that she wanted to be together, Yuan Fang felt that it was not really a war anyway, but just a border shock in the past, so he agreed to Hongyi's request and asked Guan Xiaoyun to accompany her over.

The speed of the airship is fast, Tian Erniu arrived at the border with the Qingwu Empire with twenty airships that afternoon, and circled over the barracks of the Qingwu Empire's border defenders for a while, causing a riot among the soldiers of the Qingwu Empire, and it was determined that the people on the ground had noticed their existence, Tian Erniu led the team to dive, and then dropped the incendiary bombs filled with alcohol, without leaving a word, and returned comfortably.

Bomb throwing, for Tian Erniu and they are not unfamiliar, and there is nothing new to do, but it is the first time for those forbidden soldiers who have not been in contact with airships for a long time, they used to use stone bullets of the same weight when they trained, this time, it is a live-fire exercise, and these guys are very excited.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, Tian Erniu led the team back to the imperial capital, said goodbye to the forbidden airship outside the city, returned to the military hospital and landed, and sent the airship into the newly built hangar to go back to Yuan Fang.

At this time, Yuan Fangzheng and Da Mei were discussing how to deal with the fire oil incident in the study, Da Mei's idea was to retaliate with a tooth for tat, since they wanted to control the amount of fire oil in the Dongsheng Empire, then the Meihua Chamber of Commerce could follow suit, compressing the number of polish lamps, penicillin and some other Dongsheng-only commodities exported to the two countries and the price of these commodities was too high.

At the same time, Yuan Fang also asked Damei to find someone to spread the news to the businessmen of the two countries, saying that Yuan Fang had researched a terrible contagious virus, which was more terrible than the plague, and once it spread, the city with a population of more than 100,000 people would be extinct in three days, which was also a threat, a threat that people did not dare to take risks easily.

The next day, the news that the Dongsheng Empire had mastered newer and stronger new weapons spread out, and this news first spread among the merchants of the Qingwu Empire and the Yulin Empire, and then spread more and more, and even the envoys of the Yuanhe Empire, the Liusang Empire and the Wanliu Empire heard about it, and these guys were immediately like ants on a hot pot, scattering around to inquire around, wanting to confirm the authenticity of the news.

At this time, it was the best time to appear in the dark night, and at the right time, the caravan came from the Qingwu Empire, claiming that they had seen with their own eyes an exercise of the air force of the Dongsheng Empire on the border between the two countries a few days ago, and the incendiary bombs used by the air force of the Dongsheng Empire were not fire oil, but a liquid with a strong wine aroma, and the power of its explosion was stronger than that of fire oil, and these incendiary bombs did not know what was mixed with them, and the rats and hares within a radius of five miles from the bombed place all died the next day, There were also people in their caravan who went to check out of curiosity, and contracted a strange illness, and died before they could take medicine for treatment.
