Chapter 1628: Port Authority
Veracruz, Port Authority.
This is the busiest port in Mexico since the Cataclysm. When the Diago regime was in control, it shouldered the important task of transporting coal and other materials to the Aurora Legion. After the Aurora Legion took control, it was also an important transit point for the legion's foreign trade.
And because of the importance of this port, the people of the Port Authority have always been reused. Director Garcia of the Administration is standing at the window of his office at this moment, looking at the rows of port cranes not far away and laughing: "Whoever controls Mexico needs us to serve them."
There was a burst of rattling laughter in the office, and the bureaucrats of the administration were crooked one by one, looking for a place to lie down or lean on. Everyone is either holding a wine bottle or holding cards. These guys go to work at 10:30 every day, get off work at 2:30, and have a two-and-a-half-hour break at noon.
Outside the windows of the Authority building, a large group of Mexican coolies bustled like ants in the port. Due to the lack of maintenance of many facilities in the port, they can only rely on manpower to work, but manpower transshipment is cumbersome and inefficient, and the loss is huge.
"A crane is broken. I think we should increase the loss by another five percentage points." A port manager walked in from the outside and reported "bad news".
Just hearing this 'bad news', a group of Mexican bureaucrats in the office laughed. Compared with the past, the amount of foreign trade of the legion has increased by more than ten times. No one cares where these goods come from, everyone only cares about how to get benefits from them.
During the reign of the Diego regime, the moths of the Port Authority dared to increase the loss of goods to an astonishing fifty percent. But now facing a more powerful legion, they are not satisfied with the loss set at 5%, and their greed is infinitely expanding.
As for why these people dare to do this, the basic reason is very simple, they feel that they are irreplaceable. Port management is not an easy task, and it requires a lot of professional knowledge to ensure that the complicated goods shipped from various places can be accurately shipped to different destinations.
Another reason is that the goods transported from the port every day are like piles of gold and silver mountains. The officials in charge of transportation must have very strict self-discipline in order to be clean and not corrupt. As for Mexican officials, it is good to have a moral integrity of zero, but most of them are actually negative.
"Hey..., a batch of clothes will be delivered this afternoon. Good quality." A bureaucrat of the management bureau suddenly pointed to the computer screen and shouted. bill of lading.
"Oh..., it was shipped to Washington, D.C., North America. It is said that Her Royal Highness Princess of the Brotherhood of Steel has set up a new site there, and it seems that there will be a lot of goods going there in the future." Director Garcia looked at it, "Three thousand containers. Cotton shirts and underpants, that's sure to sell."
Another bureaucrat immediately said excitedly: "We want to get rich. The smugglers in Enclave must like these goods. They also have a shortage of clothing, shoes and hats."
The raw material of clothing is either cotton or chemical fiber. However, the output of both cotton and chemical fiber in waste soil is very low at present, and there is no way to meet the huge social needs. And no matter where it is, clothes are just needed, and people in shabby clothes want to change into new clothes.
And relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water, the people of the Port Authority naturally rely on the transportation artery of the Legion to make money. Just when they were gearing up, the commercial department of the Legion came with an invoice again, and this time the product uniformity was astonishing.
"It's medicine, destined for Angola, Africa." Another exclaimed.
"500 containers of anti-inflammatory drugs, 500 containers of intestinal drugs. 1,000 containers of medical equipment, including sterilization equipment, injection equipment, X-ray machines, B equipment, blood test and blood transfusion equipment. My God , These are scarce goods.” Director Garcia was amazed.
If hygiene is not done well, people will get sick or even die. At present, intestinal and infectious diseases are still rampant, and the corresponding drugs are in great demand. Africa, in particular, does not have any pharmaceutical capabilities and relies entirely on external input
Everyone seemed to see huge wealth emerging in front of their eyes.
You must know that although pharmaceutical factories in North America continue to resume work, the output is quite poor, and there are many defects in the product line.
At present, there is still a shortage of medicines, and this batch of goods is used by Zhou Qingfeng to support African compatriots. The African compatriots engaged in the export of manpower to the Legion. The number of whites who poured into Africa from Europe was huge. Among them, professional talents and young women were urgently needed by the Legion.
The Chinese in Africa have already started to set up slave hunting teams, driving tanks, armored vehicles, and armed trucks provided by Zhou Qingfeng, and they are constantly attacking to capture those useful slaves. There are even some people who are not satisfied with expanding their power in Africa, and then take the initiative to go to Europe or even the Middle East.
The population transport ships from Africa would dock in Veracruz, and almost all the people in the port authority secretly intercepted the women transported from Africa to enjoy themselves. If the superiors come to investigate, they will report a disease directly and it will be fine.
So the position of the Port Authority is unbelievably fat, which is crazy. Many people would rather be a petty official here than leave, and it would not be such a comfortable life to change to other places. This is the most lovable position.
"Call Boffi, we have to plan it out." Director Garcia was calling, and he wanted to call his deputy to do it together.
The legion has always been extremely strict in guarding the goods sent to Africa, and the transport is guarded by the army. But this batch of medical equipment and medicines is so enviable that people from the Port Authority don't take a bite out of it.
Someone hurriedly called Deputy Director Bo Fei on the intercom, but there was no response after calling for a long time. So some people ran out of the Port Authority building to find their own deputy director. The reason why they were looking for this person was because the deputy director had the strongest professional ability and knew how to make money from the transportation link.
The people looking for it left in a hurry and came back in a hurry. When they came back, their faces were pale, and they cried profusely with sweat: "Director Garcia, it's not good. Deputy Director Boffi is on the pole."
The words sounded endless, Director Garcia frowned and shouted, "What are you talking about? Why is Boffi on the pole?"
"He was hung from a pole."
Director Garcia was even more frightened, "Who...? Who is so courageous?"
No one knew what happened, and Director Garcia could only run out of the office by himself. He rushed out of the Port Authority building with a group of people, and he saw a dozen cars parked on the side of the road just outside the building, and a group of Mexican laborers were hanging slings on the electric poles on the side of the road.
There were several people standing under the sling, the leader of whom was wearing a neat uniform and shiny boots. With a gloomy face, he looked up at Deputy Director Bofei hanging from one of the slings with a sneer.
Deputy Chief Bofill's hands were tied, and his neck was already hung on a noose. A wooden box was pointed on the toes of his feet, his body was shaking back and forth, and his face was flushed.
Director Garcia hurried over, and heard the gloomy man say to the hanging Deputy Director Boffi: "If I kick the wooden box, your neck will be broken instantly by your own weight.
Your tongue will stick out, your eyes will protrude from their sockets, and you will die ugly. But you die quickly and without pain.
So I'm not going to do that, I'm going to keep you on your toes, all the way. You will suffer so much that you will always be on the verge of life and death. The desire to survive will make you persist for a long time, even if your physical strength is exhausted, you must persist.
Believe me, one day, two days, three days, this process is a long torment that will definitely break your spirits. "
Hearing how tormenting people, Director Garcia felt a chill in his heart. He immediately shouted furiously: "Who are you? Put our people down quickly."
The gloomy man turned his head and grinned when he saw Director Garcia with a ferocious face: "I'm Lula, from the Legion's Elimination and Invention Committee. I'm currently in charge of anti-sabotage, anti-corruption, and anti-malfeasance work."
Hearing the name Lula, Garcia suddenly felt his heart go numb, as if he had encountered a natural enemy.
