The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 2728

When he heard Charlie saying that there was still a problem that he had to deal with immediately, Hamed hurriedly asked, "Brother, what other problem are you talking about?”

Charlie said, "When I went to your place the last time, I realized that your base depends on diesel generators t o generate power."

"That’s right." Hamed said, "Diesel generator sets are fairly convenient to use, but the cost is just a little high."

Charlie said, "It's not just a little high, but the cost is actually very high. The cost is at least several times more than coal-fired power!"

Hamed hurriedly said, "I’ve been implementing the electricity-saving strategy here. During the daytime, w e do not use, or we only use very little electricity. The ordinary soldiers only use electricity for basic lighting at night. So, our overall electricity consumption is not that high, and the cost is still acceptable."

Charlie retorted, "It is obvious that you did not think about the long term. If you have a dozen or even dozens of fortifications in the future, you would need t o provide a corresponding power system to ensure that there is lighting, ventilation, communication, or

even cooking in these fortifications. If that is the case, your diesel generator would not be able to provide all o f that. Besides that, the cost of your diesel consumption would certainly be very high when it is running at full power." 4

When Hamed heard this, he exclaimed, "Oh! I totally forgot about this! But... but I do not have any other good options now. It is simply impossible for the government army to provide electricity to me. Moreover, I do not have the ability to build a thermal power plant. So, I can only use diesel generators to generate electricity to solve our electricity problems..." 3

Charlie was very happy to see Hamed's upright attitude, and he finally felt a little relieved. He did not dare to hope that Hamed would be conferred a rank of nobility or be made into a prime minister immediately, but he felt that it would already be regarded as the beginning of Hamed's success if he could survive and live.

After that, Charlie suddenly recalled something, and h e asked him again, "By the way, your subordinates are not really educated. If you truly were to ask them to operate the construction and mining equipment to build the fortifications, will those men be able to do i t?"

Hamed did not even have to think about it before he replied without any hesitation at all, "It will certainly b e impossible for me to rely on my subordinates. I cannot help but feel angry when I mention this. I asked them to dig a cellar before this. Eight out of the ten cellars that they dug actually collapsed. I think that it would be absolutely impossible for me to expect them to be able to build those permanent fortifications." i
