Chapter 1370: Reinforcements Arrive

Ever since Zhou Qingfeng founded Merida City as a trading base, all the dignitaries in the city have made a fortune. The coal transported and transferred from northern Mexico alone exceeds 100,000 tons every month. These are the fuels that the Aurora Legion buys openly, and the energy that drives the operation of the Legion's industrial system.

The financial industry of the transshipment port is also very developed. There are several banks in Merida City, and the largest bank is naturally opened in the name of the Governor himself. Because of the biggest name, it is naturally the most important financial service provider for the rich and powerful in the city.

It's all right now, Governor Alfonso's war bond showdown, and the transaction is completed with a swipe directly from the account of the city's dignitaries. The 20th and 30th people, headed by the chairman of the chamber of commerce, Mr. Paramount, suddenly felt as uncomfortable as their dead parents.

Mr. Paramount walked out of the Merida City Hall crying, holding a small exquisite box in his hand, and inside the box were stacks of unmarked war bonds.

These bonds are also very beautifully printed, with watermarks, metal wire, color-changing ink, and anti-counterfeiting codes. Everything looks very professional, but there's nothing to like about the Special War Bonds printed on it. Although a face value is ten gold coins, it feels like waste paper.

A total of 50,000 gold coins flew away like this, and Mr. Paramount really wanted to cry. He wished he could throw all the bonds in his hand into the trash can, but after thinking about it, he might still win this war... Even if he won the bonds, he might not be able to make money!

Governor Alfonso issued war bonds with a total denomination of five million gold coins, and the first batch of these bonds was sold among the dignitaries in Merida through apportionment. However, only a small number of them were sold, and the rest were publicly sold by the Governor's Merida Reserve Bank.

It's just that no ghost would buy it at this time, and everyone who was apportioned gritted their teeth with hatred. Governor Alfonso was no longer a good man who could lead them to make money, but turned into a big villain who robbed them of money in a blink of an eye.

Distraught, Mr. Paramount took the small box containing the bonds, got into his car and went home slowly. When he was mourning the sharp shrinkage of his property, he suddenly heard a creaking mechanical sound in front of him, and the ground trembled slightly.

"What's going on?" Mr. Paramount was startled, and quickly asked the driver in the front row. This is a time of war, and Cancun was destroyed by missiles. Is it Merida's turn now?

It's just that the driver driving in the front row was also looking at the front in astonishment, turning the steering wheel repeatedly in his hands, and the car scrambled to the side of the road. Mr. Paramount jumped out of the car in a hurry, and looked in surprise at an armored force approaching tens of meters away.

"Where's the army?" Mr. Paramount couldn't remember when there was such an army in the city. One chariot after another kept passing in front of him, the distance was only one or two meters. Feeling these dozens of tons of behemoths at close range, you can realize the power and terror of war weapons.

At the beginning of this unit, there were more than 30 m60a3s, which seemed to be dragged directly from the US military's combat readiness warehouse. During the Gulf War, the U.S. Army drove Abrams, and the fourth class drove these old Pattons to beat Saddam Hussein.

Unexpectedly, these old goods appeared again.

The equipment on the back of old Patton's buttocks is much more shabby. Most of them are a large number of French combat vehicles previously equipped by the Mexican Army, such as the modified infantry combat vehicles of the AMX series. But the number of these chariots is huge, there are hundreds of them. It is extremely rare to have such a powerful army these days.

Although he didn't quite understand what was going on, Mr. Paramount suddenly felt that the small box in his hand, which seemed to be light and empty, became extremely hot. The war bond with a denomination of fifty thousand gold coins inside immediately changed from useless waste paper to something valuable.

The tanks in the front passed by, followed by about a battalion of towed artillery, and behind the artillery were motorized infantry, all advancing on trucks. Judging from the appearance of the soldiers, most of them don't look like the native Mexican army,...

Mr. Paramount followed closely a troop truck and shouted to the soldiers on the truck: "Hey, boy,

Where are you from? "

"Texas." A soldier holding a gun replied coldly, it seemed that they were not very interested.

"Texas? Are you the Enclave's troops?" Mr. Paramount was almost overjoyed in an instant. In fact, he had already seen the uniforms of these soldiers. The dissimilated Stars and Stripes patterns on the military uniforms already indicate the identity of the troops.

The soldier holding the gun nodded, and the convoy left quickly. Mr. Paramount chased and ran for two to three hundred meters and asked his own questions. In the end, he was tired and out of breath, but he was also very happy.

It seems that the Enclave not only sent the navy and air force to blockade Cuba, but also sent troops to directly participate in the war. If this is the case, it is really possible to win the war!

Considering that the wealth of the Aurora Legion in Cuba is definitely more than five million gold coins, the things that can be divided up by then will far exceed the amount of war bonds.

Hiss... Thinking of this, Mr. Paramount suddenly felt a little hot. He kept telling himself to calm down, calm down, but he couldn't calm down in his heart. In the end, it was by constantly patting my head that I regained my normal thinking ability.

"Turn around and go back to the city hall." Mr. Paramount ran back to his car and ordered to the driver.

The driver turned around and said, "Sir, we will be home soon."

"Why do you want to go home at this time? Go to the city hall right away!" Under the exasperated urging of Mr. Paramount, the car that had just come out of the city hall drove back immediately.

But when he arrived at the city hall, Mr. Paramount found that there was no one there, not even Mr. Giles, the frontline commander based here. He asked the guard at the gate, "Where did everyone go?"

"Going to the Governor's Mansion." The guard said.

"Ah, damn it! I should have thought that I should go to the Governor's Mansion at this time." Mr. Paramount regretted deeply, and quickly got into the car and rushed to the Governor's Mansion.

When Paramount's driver hurried all the way to the place, all the dignitaries in the city who were still cursing the governor as a vampire and gangster in their hearts all appeared again.

It's just that these scheming guys maintained a high degree of tacit understanding and calmness at the moment. After looking at each other for a few seconds, they began to chat about the weather, and only tentatively talked about bonds after half a day.

Mr. Paramount glanced around the living room, but he did not see Governor Alfonso. He walked into the living room of the Governor's Mansion without haste, and chatted with a bunch of visitors as if he was fine.

"Have you heard? The Reserve Bank of Merida suddenly announced that it has temporarily suspended the sale of war bonds."

"I know that the order is said to have come from Mexico City. President Diego seems intent on centralizing the authority to issue bonds."

"I also heard that the bond issuance scale will be increased from 5 million to 500 million gold coins. A bond exchange will also be established to provide financial services for these bonds."

Almost in the blink of an eye, all kinds of specious news fell from the sky like snowflakes. Mr. Paramount walked around in the crowd, his face was impassive, but he was thinking over and over again in his heart.

At this time, the old butler Martin walked into the living room and said loudly: "Your Excellency the Governor is going to take a lunch break. I don't see anyone now. Go back."

Now that the situation has changed drastically, where are everyone willing to leave now? They quickly smiled and sent out various replies.

"Your Excellency, please rest, we can wait."

"Your Excellency the Governor must rest well. We all hope that he is in good health."

"Butler Martin, I'm Harding. Please inform the governor when you wake up. His most loyal friend hopes to talk to him."

"Harding, get lost. You are not a loyal friend of the governor at all. Butler Martin, I am Paramount, the governor's loyal dog. Please inform the governor that I am waiting for his summons."
