"Havana's city size is not small. More than 300,000 people are crowded together, which has a strong resource pooling effect, but transportation has become a problem. The existing gasoline production cannot support public transportation, and private vehicles are even worse. Impossible, so I got 20,000 bicycles.

Although these bicycles are very simple, they can increase the range of activities of ordinary people from four to five kilometers per hour to ten to fifteen kilometers, and they can also carry dozens of kilograms of supplies. This thing seems inconspicuous, but it greatly improves work efficiency and expands the range of activities.

Also, I got 3,000 750 eccentric tricycles, which are our official vehicles and transportation vehicles recently. Our current material output is still too small, it is not cost-effective to use trucks to transport a small amount of materials, and the efficiency of manpower is too low.

Material production is important, as is transportation. This kind of heavy-duty motorcycle can be modified to drag half a ton of materials on the road, and has a strong off-road capability, which is very suitable for our current situation.

Here are the locomotives of ten steam locomotives which I have procured, which will make use of the present railroad network in Cuba, so that we may connect some factories and mines at a great distance. This thing only needs to burn coal, which is much better than burning oil.

And finally I got some vegetable seeds. Among them, there are 50 tons of mung beans, er..., I admit that the quality is not very good, and the phenomenon of insects is very serious, but I can always screen out some that can germinate, and they are barely usable.

The above is the transportation volume of 25,000 tons. Although the quality of these things is very poor, and the technology is even more backward, they can solve any problems at least, so let's just make do with it for the time being. Next, I can still bring one hundred tons of supplies back and forth each time, which should be able to meet our needs. "

In the large freighter where the materials were transferred, Zhou Qingfeng introduced the huge materials he had transported in the past few days, and Lena Fox was in charge of counting and receiving them personally, and also tried to conceal the origin of these materials.

However, during the receiving process, the little fox said while recording: "Our current foreign trade sales are very good, the promotion of metal currency is very smooth, the coast guard has also been established, and the batch of pilots who were originally trained have also begun to implement airspace security. Task.

But our troubles are not small. The refinery is using the equipment you brought in to renovate and increase production, trying to reach the daily crude oil processing level of 5,000 barrels. But Cuba is a country short of oil and coal, and our oil production cannot keep up with our processing capacity.

We used to import crude oil and coal from the outside world by sea, but the "Enclave" sent a fleet to the port of Cancun in Mexico two days ago, directly blocking the channel for us to import materials from Mexico. Now we can only go to Venezuela to import crude oil and coal, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and inefficient. "

Hearing that 'Enclave' appeared to stir up trouble again, Zhou Qingfeng frowned and said angrily: "Now that everyone's living conditions are so bad, those bastards still want to fight?"

"The weather is too cold, we don't want to fight, neither does the 'Enclave', but they just want to curb our development. For this reason, they also learn from us to build steam warships, using coal instead of oil, I think 'Enclave' is You want to drag us into an arms race." Lina also shrugged helplessly, saying that this is a common method of competition between hostile forces.

The Port of Cancun is an important port for exporting supplies from Mexico to the 'Aurora Legion', and it is only 500 kilometers away from Havana. This port is blocked, and the "Aurora Legion" needs to travel 2,000 kilometers to purchase coal and crude oil in Venezuela, which is not cost-effective.

I have to say that the leaders of the 'Enclave' are quite good at thinking of ways to deceive people.

Seeing Zhou Qingfeng scratching his head, Lina smiled and said, "The current situation is that the two countries are confronting each other. Naturally, all kinds of tricks will be used. We need to talk to the 'Enclave' about the division of power between the two sides."

"The question is, is the 'Enclave' willing to talk to us?" Zhou Qingfeng is also learning how to think about issues from the perspective of a politician.

In the words of the British, it means "there are no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, only permanent interests".

"We have sent talks to the 'Enclave' through other forces many times, but they insisted that we hand over the aircraft carrier 'Kennedy' and the huge amount of equipment and materials obtained from Florida, and even asked us to hand over the troops in the corps. There are a large number of key personnel. It’s no wonder I can agree to such an idea of ​​asking prices.”

Zhou Qingfeng thought about compromising with 'Enclave', but 'Enclave' acted like I don't care about you, and quickly surrendered obediently, which made people angry when they saw it.

But for Zhou Qingfeng's complaints, Lina kept giggling and laughing, "Who told you to plunder in Florida, taking advantage of it is so enviable, and even making people's 'Enclave' a trap. Don't you know Many of the high-tech talents in your hands are the only ones in this world."

Hmm..., this is not unreasonable.

Think about the time you ransacked the Cape Calaveral rocket launch site in Florida, stripping the Kennedy Space Center of top talent. Thinking about how Lina once went to Newport News, the most important shipyard in the United States, and took away a large number of cutting-edge shipbuilders, and cheated more than a dozen special ships and a large amount of industrial equipment in the "Enclave", Zhou Qingfeng also felt a little bit Excuse me.

I really can't complain that the 'Enclave' regards the 'Aurora Legion' as a great enemy, wishing they could lay their skins on their skins, drink their blood, and burn their bones to ashes to dissipate their hatred. This is really because Zhou Qingfeng acted too hard at the beginning, took too much advantage, and offended him too deeply. No wonder people can easily reconcile with you!

"The distribution of resources in several countries in the Caribbean is severely uneven. The islands in the east are small and poor, while the areas in the west are large and rich. We must open up a trade route connecting Mexico, where resources are too important to us.

We've got to show the Enclave that it's not worth the effort to contain us, maybe give them a taste of it. Even if they can't get through their leadership, at least let the fleet stationed in Cancun open the smuggling channel. "

When it comes to 'smuggling', Lina laughed and said: "Our goods are actually very popular in the market, and organizing a smuggling fleet can be easily done. But how to open up smuggling channels is very troublesome. It can only be promoted by you, the legion commander.”

"No problem, I can personally promote this matter." Zhou Qingfeng felt that his ability to engage in peaceful construction was definitely not as good as Lena Fox's management ability, but his ability to deceive people was definitely ahead of others.

"The 'Enclave' fleet stationed in Cancun sounds like a troublesome existence." Zhou Qingfeng thought about it, and various ghost ideas popped up, "Isn't it just smuggling? I'm also good at this."
