More than half a century ago, Cancun in Mexico was just a small fishing village with a population of more than 300, but when the catastrophe happened, it was a tourist city that received 2 million tourists a year. There are bright sunshine, clear sea water and soft white sandy beaches, making it a holy place for vacation.
But now it is as ghostly as any city in the world.
Commander Blucher lived in a five-star hotel suite. He was standing by the window, his mood was as gloomy as the endless gray sky outside the window. Behind him, the smuggler Koma was enthusiastically playing with a portable boiler. When the flames heated the cold water, the cold room slowly warmed up.
"Your Excellency Commander, what do you think of this boiler? It can provide your soldiers with a good living environment, improve their morale and combat effectiveness, and be happy to serve you. The most rare thing is that this boiler is very cheap and only needs You can sell one for five gold coins." Kema tried his best to promote his products.
There are other naval officers from the 'Enclave' in the suite. They are all tortured to death by the cold nuclear winter. A portable and practical boiler is really a strategic material they urgently need.
"Five gold coins?" Commander Blücher asked coldly, holding a gold coin with the Aurora flag printed on it in his hand. It is a gold-copper-nickel alloy, weighing ten grams, with serrated edges, stamped.
"Yes." Koma smiled while bowing his body. Seeing the expressionless face of the potential big customer in front of him, he said nervously, "If the purchase volume is large, the price can be lowered appropriately."
But the indifferent Commander Blücher whispered: "I really didn't expect the 'Aurora Legion' to start issuing metal currency, and the circulation of this currency is not small, and it is used throughout the entire Caribbean region."
"Yes, Aurora Coin is still a very strong currency in the Caribbean region, and everyone recognizes its value." Koma continued to laugh.
Blücher turned his head back slightly, and glanced at Korma contemptuously, "All the products you sell come from Havana, right? I just issued an order to prohibit the circulation of any 'Aurora Legion' products in the market, and you came to sell this boiler to me. You are smuggling, and you are flouting the laws I promulgated."
Ah... Korma's face froze, he didn't understand what the commander in front of him meant?
After the cataclysm, large-scale riots broke out in the Caribbean. In a society like Mexico, where drug lords are more powerful than the government, a lot of warlords came out to compete for power. Not only did a large number of people die in the chaotic and disorderly battles, but the already fragile local industrial system was completely destroyed. And this situation abounds throughout Latin America.
When the nuclear winter came, all survivors could only linger on, and the only one who could provide industrial products was the "Aurora Legion". The goods produced in Havana are all sought-after goods, which are urgently needed for life and death for people in the Caribbean.
Why is Commander Blücher still not satisfied with such a good cargo?
Before Koma could understand this issue, Blucher, the aloof commander of the Enclave Fleet stationed in Cancun, had announced his verdict, "Detain this smuggler and hang him in a few days. We must We must curb the current rampant smuggling.”
The guards rushed up and dragged down Korma, who was screaming and struggling, while the 'Enclave' officers in the suite were all expressionless, but looked eagerly at the portable boiler. This thing is really easy to use .
Seeing the officers under him staring at the small boiler, Commander Blücher, who made the judgment, raised his voice and continued to his subordinates: "Gentlemen, you are not sympathizing with a smuggler, are you?"
A dozen or so officers looked at each other, and someone asked bravely: "Your Excellency, Commander, we now have more than a thousand officers and soldiers staying in Cancun, and there are more than 5,000 Mexican security forces responsible for maintaining order.
But now the living conditions are extremely bad, and the soldiers complain a lot. It takes too long to bring supplies for so many people from New Orleans,
Maybe we can really get some supplies from the 'Aurora Legion', after all, we are closer to Havana.
Even if they buy supplies, the 'Aurora Legion' can only earn some gold coins, and they won't get much benefit from it, but we can settle here properly. It is still too late to implement a strict blockade plan in a few months. "
This sounds reasonable, but Commander Blücher shook his head and said: "We are here to carry out the blockade mission. Since it is a blockade, we must completely. If we don't cleanly cut off all smuggling channels now, in the future It is even more impossible to cut off.
And the "Aurora Legion" is not just getting some gold coins, they will get a lot of supplies. Take a look at the warships we sailed this time, they are all refitted to burn coal. In fact, they all learned from the 'Aurora Legion'.
And according to the information we got, the "Aurora Legion" is extremely short of coal, and the coal mines in Cuba are barren, and the only coal mines are peat with a very low calorific value, which are used as fertilizers. As long as we block the smuggling channel in Cancun, the development of the 'Aurora Legion' will be greatly restricted.
Ladies and gentlemen, we, the Enclave, are the future rulers of the American continent. The end of the world is a disaster for ordinary people, but it is a great opportunity for us to open up new territories. After we control the Caribbean, we will control South America, and even the entire world. The "Aurora Legion" is destined to be a stepping stone to our achievements. "
These words were filled with pride, and some of the more than a dozen officers were excited, but some still said in displeasure: "Your Excellency, the 'Aurora Legion' is limited in strength, even if it is not blocked, it will not be able to prevent us from occupying the entire Caribbean."
"Limited strength?" Commander Blücher snorted coldly, "You look down on that guy named Victor Hugo too much. When he escaped from New York, he only had two ships, and he didn't even have a stable foothold. No.
After arriving in the waters of the Bahamas, it only occupied a small area of Great Abaco Island, and it looked like it might be cleaned up at any time. But what happened later? He occupied Nassau, landed in Miami, and scammed our "Enclave" around in Florida, and now he is the master of Cuba.
In fact, when I was ordered to come to Cancun, I asked the senior management of the headquarters to give me enough support to completely eradicate the cancer of the 'Aurora Legion'.
But those bastards in the upper echelon have been keeping an eye on the Brotherhood of Steel in the north, so they allocated a few steamships to me. If you give me a few regular warships, I will directly attack Havana and crush the 'Aurora Legion' instead of playing some blockade tricks here.
I warn you not to be too careless. A man like Victor Hugo will not stay in Cuba honestly at first glance. He is an extremely dangerous guy. I block him now, and he will definitely find a way to break through the blockade.
In the future, you have to keep your eyes open when you sleep. You must not let a single piece of coal, a single piece of wood, or a single population from Mexico go to Cuba. Our task is to make Victor Hugo feel extremely uncomfortable until one day he is completely destroyed! "(To be continued.)
