Chapter 1437: Cold-Blooded and Ruthless
Matanzas is more than 80 kilometers away from Havana, just outside the killing range of the nuclear bomb attack. Rachel came here to show her support for the Aurora Legion. By the way, is there any need for help?
Walking out from the landing point of the airship is the containment camp of Matanzas. Rachel originally worried that the legion that had encountered a catastrophe would be a mess of mourners, but in fact, apart from a large number of temporary tents, the entire Matanzas was full of soldiers with guns on guard.
"I didn't expect you to have a good order here." Rachel walked around casually accompanied by Zhou Qingfeng, very satisfied with the situation of the containment area. "I'm also worried about seeing a mess."
There were many children playing around in the tents. They did not understand the power of nuclear bombs, but had fun. The soldiers on guard stood at attention to salute Zhou Qingfeng, and Zhou Qingfeng saluted in reply. Rachel held the hem of her skirt and ran to play with the children for a while, and handed out some candies.
Everything looks harmonious.
"Are all the containment areas in such a good order?" Rachel was very happy when she returned to Zhou Qingfeng's side, seeing that the depression in Havana had disappeared drastically.
Zhou Qingfeng, while accompanying, also ordered the distribution of relief supplies, which were donations from the fraternity that arrived with Rachel. Most of them are medicines, with a small amount of food and living utensils.
After the order was issued, many white and Han people came out of the tents in this containment area. Judging by their complexion and body shape, they are well-nourished middle class.
Regarding Rachel's question, Zhou Qingfeng explained: "Matanzas accommodates the core members of the legion, most of whom are family members of the legion government and military departments, and there are about 100,000 people. These people are given priority by the legion. Materials are guaranteed."
"Is that so..." Hearing this, Rachel could probably think that there should be a model area in front of her, and it must not be the worst. "I hope to be able to condolences to those at the bottom of society. You don't need to take care of my emotions too much. I hope I can help those who need help most."
Zhou Qingfeng curled his lips, "We don't have any bottom class at present, only the division of labor is different. If you want to see other containment areas, you need to change places."
Rachel nodded, followed Zhou Qingfeng in a car and walked eastward for tens of kilometers from Matanzas to a place called Cardenas. It's farther away from Havana, and Rachel couldn't believe her eyes when she got out of the car, "Is this a place for refugees?"
There are large tracts of farmland in Cardenas, and there are no tent areas like Matanzas, just ordinary homes. The people living here looked serene, without the slightest sign of experiencing war.
"After nuclear winter,
The Legion began to develop the entire Cuba, evacuating the agricultural population from Havana a year ago. Originally abandoned, Cardenas became an agricultural settlement. The residences are all original, and they can be lived in after a little tidying up. There are about 10,000 people here. "
Cardenas was originally a small town, mainly agricultural, with a port. Rachel drove around the town in a car, and she even saw many large ships parked by the port.
Without waiting for the wife and mother to ask, Zhou Qingfeng took the initiative to explain: "Each ship is a suitable residence. It can accommodate one or two thousand people and carry thousands of tons of supplies. It is a very good containment tool."
Rachel came to condolences, she was fully prepared and full of tears, but the current situation is stable and harmonious, tears! The wives and mothers feel that these residents don't want to look like their families are ruined and miserable, but they live quite comfortably.
"Victor, tell me honestly, how much did you lose?" The wife and mother couldn't help feeling suspicious. She put away her pitiful heart, and repositioned the tall man in front of her as the head of the legion, "Did you show me the worst situation?"
Judging from all the past cases, those who underestimate this guy will have no fruit to eat.
Zhou Qingfeng was delivering candies to the children in the small town himself, and loudly announced that these were sent to them by Ms. Rachel Connor. The children who received the candy came over politely and saluted Rachel to express their gratitude, and then the screaming Saiyazi continued to play wildly.
Seeing Zhou Qingfeng return to her side, Rachel asked again: "The residents here don't have the slightest fear, as if the nuclear bomb attack didn't happen at all. You shouldn't have done something wrong again, right? Your territory has been hit. A nuclear bomb, you are still so calm?"
"What kind of conspiracy do you think I set up?" Zhou Qingfeng chuckled a few times, walked up to Rachel, sighed and said, "I don't want to lie to you, because it doesn't make sense. But things are more important than you think Simple and no conspiracy.
As I just said, the Legion has been redeveloping Cuba since a year ago. The population of Havana was diverted. The agricultural population began to expand outwards, which also relieved Havana's population pressure and provided employment.
At its peak, the Legion had a population of about 1.8 million, of which 1 million were agricultural population. Next is industry, commerce and manufacturing, about 100,000. There are also government agencies and the military system, with more than 50,000 people. There are more than 100,000 in the service industry.
In other words, the legion has an effective ruling population of about 1.3 million. These men were either not in the city when the Enclave bombarded Havana, or were being evacuated. These guys were set up before the nukes on the Enclave. "
When Rachel heard this, her lips parted slightly with an enlightened expression of 'I knew it would be like this'. She gave Zhou Qingfeng a sideways glance with a little displeasure, and said, "Interesting, very interesting.
If you want to say who is the most cunning in the world, no one can compare to you, Victor Hugo. You have fooled us all! "
But Zhou Qingfeng shook his head and said: "No, I didn't lie to anyone. I didn't know that the Enclave would attack me with a nuclear bomb. In fact, before the nuclear bomb came, there were more than 100,000 police officers and some residents in Havana. It took a lot of effort to get these people out.
Don't think I have nothing to lose, Havana is the city I have focused on in the past two years, and now all my efforts have been in vain. The original administrative system needs to be rebuilt, because the hardware facilities are gone. "
Thinking about the destruction of a city on the other side, it is indeed a heavy loss. Rachel unconsciously felt sorry for the other party, she comforted: "Don't worry, we will help you. But you still have half a million residents?"
A simple calculation also shows that a large part of the population that Zhou Qingfeng just mentioned is still missing. After Rachel mentioned this, he lowered his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "The remaining people, they are not effectively ruling the population."
Rachel's heart tightened, and she stared straight at Zhou Qingfeng.
Zhou Qingfeng didn't seem to want to say it, but finally he said: "Over the past year or so, the Enclave deliberately let a large number of people enter Cuba, the number is about one million. Among them, I will take care of them as much as possible. .
But most of these people are urban poor, basically illiterate, most of them are black, without any survival skills. They don’t know how to farm or work, and they still have bad tempers. They used to be the dregs of society who received social relief certificates. They used to hang out on the streets, and they haven’t changed much now.
In the past, the U.S. government could support them, but the Enclave dumped them on me like a burden. To be honest, I don't want these guys who only cause trouble, but I haven't figured out how to deal with it, and even set aside relief to feed these 500,000 useless people.
When I evacuated the city's population, the dregs of society started smashing and looting. So I simply borrowed the Enclave's nuclear bomb to clean up this burden. "
Rachel's eyes were full of disbelief, "You didn't notify them to evacuate?"
"No."
"You just watched them get killed by nuclear bombs?"
"Yes."
"That's half a million people, just because they are useless to you, just because you think they are annoying, just because they are the bottom of society, you let them die?"
"Yes, half a million people, there will only be more, not less. Those should be the 'bottom of society' you think of, but they are all finished now."
Pa... Rachel was extremely angry and raised her hand to slap Zhou Qingfeng.
The wife's mind was messed up by the ruthless words, she almost broke down and cried, "God, why do I meet you cold-blooded guys? Why do people like you become superior? Why do you Tell me this? You bastard!"
