Chapter 1367 The Counterfeit Is Back

Among the standing crowd, Lula was at the end. The gendarmerie captain who used to run amok in Merida is now a phoenix that is not as good as a chicken. If it wasn't for his official status, he would have been forgotten long ago.

Evicted from his position as city ruler more than a year ago, Lula is desperate to stand up. He decided to endure, wait, gather his fangs and claws, and only ask for a chance to overthrow Governor Alfonso.

But the waiting time was too long, and Lula was willing to wait, but those fools under him were unwilling to wait. The group of Talon mercenaries recruited were the first to leave. Those who took money to do things had no loyalty, and soon went to other places to seek opportunities to make money.

The gendarmerie quickly lost their minds, with no funds, no income, no dignity, and even the most basic necessities of food, clothing, housing and transportation had to be provided by the governor's office. Lula had tried to maintain a team with the money he had personally scavenged, but it was in vain when he ran out of money.

A toothless tiger is worse than a dog, and only Ace, who is in a similar situation to him, is left around Lula. The former headmaid of the Governor's Mansion lost the trust of Governor Alfonso because she was Lula's eyeliner. It was luck to survive. She and Lula almost depended on each other.

After waiting for more than a year, Lula waited for the big man Giris Diago who was in charge of patrolling Merida. But before he submitted all the dirty materials he had collected, Giris publicly stated that his cousin Alfonso had done a good job and he had no dissatisfaction with Merida.

Yes, compared to Merida, which was controlled by Lula with terror, this city is quite different now. The Aurora Legion has a well-developed foreign trade demand, and Merida has become a prosperous commodity production place and cargo transit port.

Merida not only provided a large amount of goods for the Aurora Legion, but also provided huge benefits for the Diego regime in Mexico. Almost everyone is satisfied, and no one cares what lies behind this prosperity.

And when the Aurora Legion destroyed Cancun, the city of Merida instantly became the front line. Seeing that Giris Diego was about to control the entire Merida, Alfonso, who originally controlled the place, suddenly came back—this wandering governor who was rarely seen once in a few months came back.

The name of this person is the shadow of the tree. Governor Alfonso is wearing a hunting suit with tight sleeves, narrow legs and high leather boots. He appeared unceremoniously like this, but it caused a sensation in the living room.

The old butler Martin almost fell in front of him with tears, knelt down on his knees and hugged his boots and was about to kiss the uppers of his boots. And even Harding, Paramount and other celebrities in the military and business circles rushed forward as if they saw God, crying.

God, the Lord is finally back!

Except for the old butler Martin, the others didn't really have a deep relationship with Alfonso. But Merida City has been prosperous for more than a year, and the top executives in the city have made a lot of money. Just now, Giles said that all the people and materials in the city should be controlled by the military. Isn't this killing them?

There are a lot of selfish people these days, and people and groups who only care about their own interests are everywhere. Ji Ruisi wanted to take a bunch of rich people's property for nothing, but they dared not speak out. But now, Governor Alfonso is back, and finally someone can compete with him.

As for Governor Alfonso's sudden return, Giles, who had just made a generous statement just now, was stunned for a while. He stretched out his hand and asked in a hesitant tone: "Are you Alfonso's cousin? We haven't seen each other for many years, and I will not recognize you."

Hehehe... Don't say you don't recognize it, I don't even recognize it myself—Governor Alfonso shrugged and shook hands with Giris lightly, "Yes, I am that useless illegitimate child."

"Oh..., no no no. Alfonso, you are too humble. No one in the family can do better than you. If there were no supplies from Merida, Mexico City would have collapsed long ago." Giris looked Instead of the frustration and anger of a failure to seize power, he was quite frank.

In fact, more than 70% of the more than 500,000 people gathered in Merida City are engaged in various agricultural and sideline production. Yucatan has good light and heat resources,

The land is fertile, and the corn and chicken produced here in the past year have become very scarce food.

Giles continued to ask: "Alfonso, where have you been for more than a year? I couldn't find you after several contacts."

"Oh... I'm in Havana." Governor Alfonso took out a metal flagon from his pocket as he spoke, opened the lid and took a sip into his mouth.

Ah..., everyone in the conference hall was taken aback. Gilris was even more surprised with a dull expression, "You just came back from our enemy?"

"Merida is too boring. There are no fine taverns, no beautiful women, no comfortable houses. Why should I stay here? Havana has everything I need."

Alfonso continued to take a sip, and then said: "I know you are worried about war, so I came back to solve this problem. I don't think you need to be too scared. First of all, we must not be afraid of war. We must fight with a fearless spirit." look at this.

Secondly, we should not rashly overestimate our own strength. After all, judging from what happened in Cancun, the enemy is still very strong. So the most important thing we should do is to try to form a decent army, and at the same time enlist the aid of the Enclave.

Of course, the Enclave may be afraid of the protracted war in Mexico, which will inevitably affect the confrontation between them and the Brotherhood of Steel. So we must give the Enclave confidence and let them understand that we can fight the Aurora Legion, but it's not that we can't. "

Clap, clap... After hearing Alfonso's words, Giles applauded, and the people in the entire conference hall also burst into endless applause. Being able to express this insight in such a simple and clear manner shows that Governor Alfonso has a certain level.

As a core member of the family, Giles looked at Alfonso with almost shocked eyes. He took two steps forward and asked, "Alfonso, your understanding is very pertinent. Can you be more specific?"

False words, empty words and stereotypes are rampant these days, and it is unreliable to have no feasible implementation plan. Alfonso was clearly confident, "We must have a strong army with a number of 30,000 to 50,000. We must also win a few battles with the Aurora Legion in the Yucatan Peninsula to build confidence.

Of course, it's not easy to win in our current state, so we need to raise a lot of money first. I want to raise money by issuing war bonds on the credit of the government, which will be used for special military expenses. After winning the battle, use the compensation and territory of the Aurora Legion as repayment. "

These two ideas seemed similar at first glance, but everyone present was hesitant—as if someone was digging a hole in front of them, and they had a sense of danger that they would not be able to get out if they jumped in.

Even Giles, who was applauding just now, frowned, and said in a questioning tone: "For troops, there are not many directions to the capital. It may be difficult to mobilize 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. If you want to raise funds, those who are willing to buy bonds I'm afraid it won't be too much, and now the whole of Mexico City is filled with a sense of failure."

The ability of the Aurora Legion to destroy a city in one go is too heaven-defying!

Some people in Mexico City even thought of surrendering, and it cannot but be said that they were under tremendous pressure. But in the face of everyone's doubts, Zhou Qingfeng just raised his head and laughed a few times, "I'm here to solve these problems. Don't worry, we still have time. The Aurora Legion didn't come so quickly."

Alfonso slapped him haha, turned around and left, with the old housekeeper Martin behind his buttocks. And the rest of the people in the living room were in a daze, not knowing what kind of medicine their Governor-General was selling in the gourd?

Among this group of people, the only sober one is probably Lula who has completely broken away from the circle of power. The captain of the gendarmerie always felt that there was a huge conspiracy in front of him, because—Governor Alfonso's appearance was too dazzling, and he was too confident, as if he was not afraid at all!
