Rise of the Wasteland

Chapter 1024: Untitled

Let's turn our attention back to North America, New York State.

People always use fashion, finance, technology and other words as the labels of New York. In fact, New York is only a small part of New York State. Throughout New York State, agriculture and animal husbandry also occupy a very important proportion in the economy.

After experiencing the severe devastation of the catastrophe and nuclear winter, the manufacturing industry was tossed to death, and it was difficult for factories and workers to survive. But the land doesn't just become silent, on the contrary..., it even becomes a lot more fertile.

His Excellency David Lawrence, who occupies the entire northeastern United States, is rarely in the mood to go out for an outing. He brought his wife and daughter to a suburban farm. When he saw the endless fields and grasslands, the green scenery made him feel very comfortable.

"Look, soybeans are planted on the left, and corn and alfalfa are planted on the right. Since the temperature has risen, our agriculture is recovering quickly." Mr. Lawrence dressed casually like a dad, relaxed and at ease. He pointed to the surrounding large farmland, beaming.

Following the Lawrence family were more than a dozen high-level staff and officials of the Brotherhood of Steel. Seeing that their boss was so happy, they also rejoiced. Naturally, someone stood up and praised loudly, "Your Excellency Commander, all of this is the result of your vigorous promotion."

"Yeah, in just a few months, we can get the first batch of harvest, and the food shortage situation will be greatly alleviated."

"As long as we have the correct leadership of Lord Lawrence, we will no longer need to import food, and we can even export it. This will further enhance our power."

Although he knew that his subordinates were flattering him, David Lawrence was still very happy. He is indeed responsible for promoting the restoration of the entire agricultural system, because the hard work and difficulties involved have brought the entire project to the verge of collapse many times.

Farmers, farm machinery, farmland, everything needs to be organized well. Lawrence, who only knows how to fight but doesn't know how to farm, has spent a lot of effort. But judging from the current results, everything is worth it.

"Dad, why are those cows so thin?" Daughter Angie was running happily in the field with her puppies, and suddenly saw a few skinny black-and-white cows grazing, "Those cows are so pitiful."

When it comes to cows, the scene cools down. Those who don't know are at a loss, and those who know are silent. The dairy industry in New York State was originally very developed, but after the nuclear winter, all the bullshit cows were frozen to death. Are these few lonely and rare breed cows in front of us... .

Seeing that the adults stopped talking, Anji also guessed where these cows came from?

"Okay, I see. Except for that bad boy Victor, no one else will protect a few cows. But why are they here?" Angie continued to be curious.

David Lawrence was not embarrassed at all. He said in a very relaxed tone: "Yes, these precious cows were indeed bought from Havana. That little bastard Victor doesn't know how to raise cows at all, so He bred the cows to death.

But we will expand the population soon after we buy the cows. Believe me, Dad, our people will be able to drink milk happily again in a few years. "

"But why are you all so silent?" Angie still didn't understand. Isn't it a shame to buy cows?

At this moment, David Lawrence's complexion changed, and he cursed bitterly: "Victor, that money fanatic is simply a vampire. He saw that we really wanted to buy these cows, so he offered a sky-high price, and even said that he would rather let us buy these cows." If the cow dies, the price will not be lowered."

"How many gold coins did he ask for?" Angie asked.

"It's not gold coins, but a lot of industrial equipment and ready-made weapons and equipment. But it doesn't matter, we won't need them for a while." David Lawrence pretended to be generous, but in fact he felt very distressed.

For these few cows, His Excellency Lawrence paid more than 100,000 tons of good things, including several warships——Zhou Qingfeng clearly expressed the attitude of "I don't need it and I won't keep it for you".

"Although we paid a high price, with these few cows,

We can recover after all. As long as we solve the problem of food and clothing, I will definitely let that little bastard Victor know how good I am. "

David Lawrence clenched his fists and waved them vigorously. He felt that his recent work of being diligent and caring for the people was very fruitful, and he was even more hopeful about the future.

But then Angie pointed to the dry land on the other side of the farm and asked: "Why didn't we use that land? Is the drought problem still unsolvable?"

Oh... and here's another puzzle.

"Yes, the drought problem seems to be temporarily unsolvable. We are now using groundwater and drip irrigation technology, so the investment in agriculture is relatively large." Lawrence didn't mind telling his daughter about the current difficulties, "But the drought will eventually It will pass, these will not trouble us."

The boss is so high-spirited and high-spirited, the younger brothers naturally applauded to express their admiration. David Lawrence put his arms around his daughter's shoulders, expressing that he was still very strong.

Rachel had been smiling silently by the side, but suddenly received a note from the security guard. After reading the note, her face changed, but she put the note into her pocket without a trace, without saying a word.

"What's going on?" David Lawrence had sharp eyes and saw his wife's small movements.

"A little business trouble. Leave it alone, I will deal with it later. Today is a leisure time for our family to go out and relax." Ever since Zhou Qingfeng drove an aircraft carrier to attack New York, Rachel has officially stepped onto the political stage and served as the Real jobs, such as foreign trade.

"If it's just a small trouble, you will make a decision on the spot." David Lawrence knew that his wife was actually a decisive woman, and she never procrastinated. "What's the trouble?"

Facing her husband's questioning, Rachel could only say indifferently: "Just received information from Havana, it is said that the Aurora Legion has organized an African expeditionary force, and its advance team has already left."

"African Expeditionary Army?" David Lawrence read the name aloud, with a puzzled expression on his face, "Why did Victor Hugo go to Africa? He can go to South America if he wants to expand his power. And as far as I know He doesn't even have complete control of the Caribbean."

"Maybe our Legion Commander is out of his mind, hahaha..." A newly joined staff member laughed a few times beside Lawrence.

But David Lawrence immediately turned his head, and shouted to the new staff with an extremely sinister and distorted expression: "You can get out."

"Uh... Mr. Lawrence, did I do something wrong?" The laughing staff member felt extremely innocent, and he was just joking.

While the other subordinates and followers either lowered their heads or looked in other directions, those who were familiar with their boss knew one thing - except for the boss himself, no one could slander Victor Hugo. Otherwise, how do you let the boss who has suffered losses several times deal with himself?

David Lawrence didn't bother to talk to that idiot staff anymore, and asked his wife, "Victor is now capable of sending an expeditionary force to Africa? Is he that strong?"

"This is probably related to another of his recent plans. The kid placed an order for parts manufacturing to us not long ago. After analysis, our people think that it is the aluminum alloy skeleton for manufacturing heavy airships. He may want to use cheap airships to carry out transportation of personnel and supplies."

"A genius idea." Rachel said after thinking about it: "But I will reject his order, and I can't let his plan go too smoothly."

"That kid actually thought of using an airship?" David Lawrence suddenly realized, but he immediately shouted: "No, no, why refuse? We can charge a high price, which can just be used to restart our own heavy industry."

"Uh..." Rachel said with some frustration: "David, we are not the only supplier, and the Enclave also has the same ability. The guys in the south have recently recovered their relationship with Victor. Come on, they don't seem to be pursuing the carrier thing anymore."

It is not difficult to manufacture the aluminum alloy skeleton of a heavy-duty airship. This technology was mature more than a hundred years ago. This order was thrown out entirely because the industrial capabilities of the Aurora Legion were too sloppy.

And when he heard that he had a competitor, David Lawrence suddenly cursed angrily in a low voice, "Damn it, why does that kid blackmail us every time? A few cows beat us a lot. And we But there is no way to force him to bleed out once?"

God, you don't have fucking eyes! 8
