Chapter 1368 The Dilemma of Both Sides

Returning to Merida under the false identity of Governor Alfonso, Zhou Qingfeng was deeply moved.

The scene in the Governor’s Mansion remains the same, the gorgeous living room, beautiful corridor, translucent chandeliers, expensive carpets, even the flowerpots in the corners and the decorative paintings on the walls have not changed at all, all of which are symbols of status.

But Zhou Qingfeng doesn't care much about the aristocratic atmosphere in the Governor's Mansion, he likes to look at it from the perspective of the whole city. When he came here for the first time, Merida seemed to be pulled back from the dark hell, cleansed of rot, rotten meat, and rejuvenated with vitality.

Standing in front of the window of my bedroom, most of the city can be seen at a glance. Although the weather is not very good, there are many pedestrians on the street, and there is an endless stream. Zhou Qingfeng pushed open the window and watched for a while, and turned around to see the old butler Martin standing quietly behind him with his waist slightly bent.

"How have you been doing during this time?" Zhou Qingfeng asked. He hasn't been back for a while, but the bedroom is spotless and tidy.

"Very good." Old Martin started with the simplest three words, and then listed the situation in the city like a few treasures.

"We have planted two seasons of corn outside the city. After the initial demonstration field of 500 mu, we have now expanded the planting area to 20,000 mu. The agricultural machinery sent by the Legion is very useful, but there is a gap in fertilizer Big, basically just manure.

We have more exciting yields in poultry and livestock than in corn. The Legion sends recycled food waste once a week as feed, and our monthly meat and egg production is more than 5,000 tons. We intend to continue to expand the scale and increase the production to 10,000 tons.

The MLF has been strengthening the grassroots organizations. We now have a party group for every fifty people in the city, and regularly arrange cadre training. Outside the city, we already have more than a dozen guerrilla groups with more than 1,000 members, with a total strength of more than 30,000.

However, Chairman Nieto has always said that the training of the guerrillas has not been sufficient, and the instructors sent by the Legion have huge differences in ability. There are good ones and bad ones. Furthermore, the guerrillas lack weapons and equipment, especially heavy weapons, relatively few vehicles, and almost zero technical arms. "

Old Martin said a lot in bits and pieces, many of which can be seen in the weekly briefing, but speaking from the mouth of the person involved, the feeling is very different.

The city of Merida and the Mojie Formation were an idle move by Zhou Qingfeng at the beginning, but this idle move slowly developed by itself in a difficult environment and became more and more important.

For example, because of the good geographical environment, more and more agricultural and sideline products are produced here, and even Havana has begun to rely on it. In addition, the guerrilla force of 30,000 is more than the Aurora Legion's army in Havana. This is an armed force that cannot be ignored.

Because of the single ethnicity, the same situation, and the strong cohesion within the organization, the Mojiezhen has developed very rapidly. Basically, more than 10% of the more than 500,000 people in the city of Merida are the backbone of the MLF, and more than 80% of the population is under the control of the MLF.

The Aurora Legion is now launching the Mexican invasion, such a force cannot be underestimated, and it is even more impossible for Zhou Qingfeng to let it go. He came back this time to properly unify this force and lay the foundation for the next brutal battle.

After the explanation, Old Martin also asked in a hopeful tone: "The Legion is coming soon, right? We can immediately eradicate the Enclave power in the city and kill Lula easily. Let that bastard go to hell early .”

"No, the situation is not as simple as you imagined." Zhou Qingfeng waved his hand, shook his head and said, "The Legion is indeed landing in Mexico, but the progress is very slow. And we are not yet capable of confronting the Enclave head-on, we must delay the plan for a while .”

The world was shocked when Cancun was destroyed. The Enclave issued a stern warning to the Aurora Legion, and a dozen warships sailed from various bases in the Gulf of Mexico to block the Yucatan Strait. A squadron of F-16 fighter jets was also deployed to Florida, staring at Havana at close range.

Under the wrath of the Enclave, the Aurora Legion endured great pressure,

The fleet that landed in Mexico had to make a big detour and disembark from the southern part of the Yucatan Peninsula, and they couldn't transport too many people and supplies in half a day. The entire landing plan is seriously behind.

The key point is that the Dongfeng project, which was originally a trump card, was postponed. Professor Johnson, who puffed his chest and said that it would be completed in a month, said that there was something wrong with the project and that it would take more time. Although this situation was within Zhou Qingfeng's expectations, the situation facing the Legion is different now.

Zhou Qingfeng judged that the Enclave didn't dare to fight, at most it was deterrence and coercion. It's really uncomfortable to wait for others to block the door of the house to deter them!

The purpose of the Legion Commander's visit to Merida this time is to show the Enclave that the enemy in the north can feel that the conflict is still manageable and there is no need for a big fight--when they really want to fight, the initiative will be complete. lost.

While Zhou Qingfeng was planning his Mexican strategy, Giris, who was also staying in Merida, was also working hard on how to stabilize the Diego family's rule in Mexico.

Giles has just received an appointment from Mexico City to become the commander-in-chief of the Merida front, but his power can only control the dozen or so followers around him now, and he is completely an empty commander.

It's okay to be a short-term commander, but Gilris was put on by Alfonso's cousin. His original move to gather control of the city was completely ineffective. In the eyes of Merida's dignitaries, there was only the governor and no commander.

Giles set up his headquarters in the city government and received a telegram from Mexico City—don't panic, reinforcements from a division are coming, and the Enclave has also taken action to suppress the Aurora Legion. You are on the spot in Merida Organize your forces to resist.

Thinking about the guys in the family who treat the war as a joke, Ji Ruisi couldn't laugh or cry. He is one of the few elites in the Diego family who have studied in college and have done practical things. He understands the difficulty of establishing a regime better than those uncles and relatives who only kidnap, extort and kill.

But now that the Aurora Legion is coming, those family members in Mexico City are not preparing for the battle. Instead, they put all their hopes on the Enclave, always thinking that the Enclave can handle everything.

"These idiots..." Ji Ruisi was very distressed, and he didn't know what to do in embarrassment. He was envious of his cousin Alfonso, who used to be a rogue who only played with women, but now he has the awe-inspiring and steady look that is not afraid of danger.

"What should I do?" Giris scratched his head, thinking that he had to cooperate with Alfonso's cousin. At this time, he knocked on the door and walked into the office, announcing that a gendarmerie captain named Lula wanted to talk to him.

"Lula?" Jiris turned in his mind, unable to remember who Lula was among the city officials. But he still nodded when he was in a difficult situation: "Let someone come in, I am willing to talk to him, maybe I can gain something."
