Across Mississippi, through Tennessee, into Kentucky, and up to Ohio, then on through a strip of land in Pennsylvania controlled by Kahta, to the main territories of Kahta, the trucks went, the pipeline from Cleveland to Boston had just been laid, but still the trucks carried oil, to help keep the supplies up in Kahta.
The oil was being given to Kahta, the goverment had asked the companies to give Kahta 100 million barrels per day and the government had agreed to, in the near future, pay them twice what the normal going price was, since they were operating at a major loss for the time being giving Kahta free oil. The regular price of Mississippian oil was about ten dollars a barrel.
The black gold most always began its journey at the rigs of Mississippian Egypt, South Africa, or Angola, sometimes the off-shore rigs of Mississippi himself, and sometimes in Ohio, where large reserves had been known of for decades.
Fabus Standard Oil was booming, producing more than 500 million barrels per day, and the company and the others were more than happy to give free oil to Kahta now, knowing in a few months they'd get 20 dollars per barrel for every barrel they gave away for free.
The pipeline had been constructed in a matter of just three weeks, with over three million workers being hired and shifts going around the clock until it was done. Blasting tunnels through mountains, setting up supports to carry it across small bodies of water, knocking down trees that had been in the way. Nothing could stop it from reaching its goal. It would deliver an estimated 10 million barrels per day to Kahta.
