Chapter 277: Procurement is a part of the Federation military that one has to appreciate

In silence, the humanoid creature took his subordinates and followed the somewhat stiff puppet onto the flight vehicle that came to pick them up.

"This newly appointed governor has quite the airs."

"Maybe it's his first time dealing with an Army Group and he hasn't found his place yet."

In the vehicle, the humanoid creature listened to his subordinates' discussion with a blank expression and did not stop them.

Although he hadn't seen the main person yet, he already started to feel that it was a bit tricky.

'That guy Duonuo really left me a mess.'

The flight vehicle sped all the way and soon left the central city and arrived at a manor.

Looking at the massive metal palace in the center of the manor, a slight fluctuation finally appeared on the humanoid creature's face.

If he remembered correctly, the place where that old thing Duonuo originally took root should be here.

At this time, a woman wearing a maid outfit walked out of the palace and said in a stiff tone: "Everyone, please follow me; the Governor is waiting for you inside."

Another puppet…

The humanoid creature followed behind the maid, looking at her back, not knowing what he was thinking.

The group was soon brought into the main hall, and then a young man who was bowing his head to study something came into their view.

The maid didn't say much; after bringing everyone there, she bowed and left the main hall.

Just like that, the main hall fell silent for a while.

After a long while, the young man asked: "How should I address you?"

As the words fell, he raised his head and looked at the group.

Looking at the other party's brilliant right eye, the humanoid creature did not answer: "The war on the front line is tight; please ask Governor Li to hand over the supplies as soon as possible."

"Hehe."

Hearing this, a non-committal smile appeared on Li Ang's face, but in his heart, he was thinking about the puppet's performance just now.

The intelligence level was still not enough; the few sentences it said were all pre-inputted by him.

Just like that, the hall fell silent again.

And without the commander's order, the subordinates certainly couldn't speak rashly.

After a long while, Li Ang suddenly asked: "The supplies Duonuo previously collected were meant for you, right?"

He emphasized the word 'you', and the implication didn't need to be said.

Hearing this, the expression on the humanoid creature's face stiffened, and then he let his subordinates go out and wait for him.

After only the two of them were left in the hall, he said helplessly: "Just call me Martin. How did Governor Li figure it out?"

Facing Martin's inquiry, Li Ang shook his head slightly: "A friend told me."

This was a lie; in fact, it was a probe he made based on the other party's attitude, after all, the attitude of that 9000th Army Group officer was far less tough than he had imagined.

If Duonuo's advance supply was really the Army Lord's intention, then the other party's attitude couldn't be so 'weak'; they would have already climbed on his head and demanded he hand over the supplies immediately.

It's just that Li Ang didn't expect that he only probed slightly, and the other party exploded directly.

What Li Ang didn't know was that Martin also had bitterness he couldn't speak of; after all, in his view, the little dragon cub opposite was a young powerhouse with impressive potential and a mysterious background.

Unlike Duonuo, he didn't want to rashly offend such a person of unknown origin.

Since he didn't scare him at the beginning, it was better to speak clearly early, so as not to make everyone unhappy.

Thinking of this, Martin said high-sounding words: "Considering that Governor Li has only been in office for a short time, this batch of supplies will be forgotten; please prepare the year-end supplies in advance."

As the words fell, he prepared to turn and leave.

However, at this moment, Li Ang suddenly called out to stop him: "Please stay, Mr. Martin must have joined the 9000th Army Group not long ago, right?"

Hearing this sentence, the androgynous officer's face turned black, as if he had been poked in a sore spot.

He wanted to say something, but didn't know how to refute it.

And after seeing this scene, Li Ang knew he must have guessed right.

As for the reason, it was very simple: one was that the other party kept staring at Morabis, a tourist planet that wasn't important, and the other was that the other party had just sent his subordinates away, which meant he had no trusted confidants in the Army Group.

Of course, the above were all Li Ang's guesses, as for why he stopped Martin

"Although I can't provide the supplies, I have another business here; would Mr. Martin like to consider it?"

As he spoke, he took out a can of Clear-Type 1 and tossed it to Martin.

The androgynous officer caught the metal can, feeling somewhat confused for a moment.

"Mr. Martin should be responsible for logistics in the 9000th Army Group, right? How is your relationship with the Army Group's suppliers now?"

Hearing this, Martin reacted instantly, and his face began to turn strange.

He looked at the metal can in his hand, then at Li Ang, and couldn't help but ask: "You want to be a new supplier? Just based on this?"

As he spoke, he shook the metal can in his hand.

Looking at the somewhat speechless Martin, Li Ang signaled him to take a sip first: "Mr. Martin, try it first before saying anything."

Martin didn't dawdle either; he opened the metal can and took a sip, then frowned slightly.

After a long while, he shook his head: "I am indeed responsible for logistics, but I am not the only one responsible for logistics."

"Currently, the military purchases products from Secret Blood Company. Although Secret Blood Company has nothing to do with me, your product is not enough to make me bet on you."

A few words were said very bluntly.

Martin knew very well what Li Ang wanted to do; it was nothing more than everyone making money from the Federation together.

Unfortunately

The pit of functional beverages had long been occupied, and right now, Clear-Type 1 was not enough to convince the 9000th Army Group to change suppliers.

Of course, there was also the reason that Martin was unwilling to put in much effort.

However, after hearing the other party's words, a smile appeared on Li Ang's face: "Hehe, this is just a first-generation product; new models will be developed soon."

He didn't count on finalizing the cooperation with the 9000th Army Group today; after all, that was unrealistic.

And the production problem of Clear Fruit hadn't been solved yet; even if the cooperation was really finalized, with the current scale of the Morabis Plant Joint Chamber of Commerce, it couldn't supply the consumption of the 9000th Army Group.
