Rise of the Wasteland

Chapter 757: Old Man 1

A thousand-ton yacht departed from New York, sailed for several days, and appeared outside the port of Havana across a distance of thousands of nautical miles. A tall woman in thick fur and a hood stood at the bow of the ship, watching the ships and ships bustling in and out of the port.

The cargo volume of the port of Havana is definitely not as good as that of any small and medium-sized port before the catastrophe, but in terms of the current doomsday, its prosperity is already the number one in the world.

A large number of small cargo ships are loading and unloading at the port, which shows that Havana's commerce and manufacturing industry are quite active, and also shows that the law and order here is good and the society is stable.

"It's amazing!"

Rachel Connor couldn't help sighing, she had two images of Victor Hugo in her mind. One is that he just arrived in New York, standing at the gate of Lawrence's house and looking around blankly; the other is that he was so crazy that he mobilized nuclear bombs to bomb the "JFK" airport in order to save himself.

Both images are memorable. And now, Zhou Qingfeng can actually become one of the few leaders of great forces in the last days. He manages a city and makes it a rare paradise to live in in the last days.

The large yacht docked at the passenger terminal by the harbor. When Rachel stepped down the gangway, someone immediately came to solicit business, "Beautiful lady, it must be your first time visiting Havana under the rule of the 'Aurora Legion'. Do you need a guide? What? I can help you whether you are doing business or living here.”

The so-called 'guide' is a rare old man in the last days, with a gray beard, well-dressed, humble but not humble. It is definitely not good for such a person to do coolies, but it is no problem to introduce the current situation in Havana. He even had official papers issued by the Legion Police to identify him.

Rachel was very interested in this ID card at first, and asked with a smile: "Everyone here has such an ID card?"

"Yes, the Legion's population management is extremely strict. Anyone without a formal identity will be expelled. It is also true that everyone has an identity. The security here is quite good. Even foreigners must register for a temporary identity. When you come The first thing to do here is to register."

Due to the current chaos in the world and the complete collapse of the identity system, Zhou Qingfeng enforced the identity registration system in order to maintain basic security. For this reason, many people who tried to fish in troubled waters were even killed.

"Anyone to register?"

"Yes, no one is an exception. This is the basic policy of the legion. Those who do not abide by it will face the iron-blooded methods of the legion commander and will be killed without mercy." The old guide said with certainty.

"Ah..." As soon as she got off the gangway, Rachel felt the toughness of Zhou Qingfeng's rule. And think about the North American continent that is still in a mess. It is precisely the identity information that cannot be determined that has led to the failure to implement many policies and social chaos, and the public power cannot effectively establish authority.

"Victor still has such conveniences for ruling while staying on an island. We always thought that his development of power would be greatly restricted if he left the North American continent, but now it seems that he has really underestimated him."

Rachel thought that before she set off, no one thought she could achieve special results, but now it seems that the facts may be completely different.

You must know that when she set off from New York, the whole of New York had just ended a fierce battle. The whole city still smelled of gunpowder smoke and stench, but now that they arrived in Havana, the air here was clean and energetic.

There is a service agency for foreigners at the port, take photos for registration, hand in all weapons, explain the purpose of coming,

Fill in the identity. Customs officers are meticulous in every item, without any room for flexibility.

"The stability of Havana is so rare. Our residents here don't want any people or organizations to destroy it." The old guide explained with a sense of pride and pride. Obey it, or it will be all of us."

"Victor Hugo has a high prestige here?" Rachel asked, "It is said that he practices a dictatorship, do you all accept it?"

"Of course." The old guide pointed to the bust of Zhou Qingfeng hanging on the customs hall and said, "We don't care about dictatorship or not. Without the regiment commander, an old guy like me would definitely die. Most people in the city would also die." All dead.

I am from Florida, USA, and I used to be a person of the free world, but now I absolutely do not want to return to North America. Believe me, in this chaotic world, a strong ruler is better than a democracy that does nothing. "

Seeing an ordinary old man swear to support Zhou Qingfeng to the death, Rachel was even jealous. The Brotherhood of Steel is much larger than the 'Aurora Legion' in terms of population, power, and geography, but the upper echelons of the Legion belong to multiple authoritarian leaders, and there are still a lot of constraints under the leaders.

Think about a tough guy like David Lawrence, with the status of the regional leader, he was stunned by a bunch of so-called fraternity veterans who couldn't do anything. Where can it be like Zhou Qingfeng, who insists on implementing an identity registration system when he says that he wants to implement an identity registration system, and anyone who dares to resist will die.

"No wonder that kid can firmly rule Havana. His authority among the people is unimaginable." Rachel sighed but did not understand the real reason.

Zhou Qingfeng's hardcore supporters are 15,000 Chinese and ethnic Chinese, and the tens of thousands of backbones of the legion from the North American continent are also vested interests. These people share weal and woe with Zhou Qingfeng, and they will never betray fundamentals.

As for those at the bottom of society like the old guide, they had to follow Zhou Qingfeng, and they couldn't survive without allegiance. And Zhou Qingfeng also used the bottom forces to organize and restrain the backbone of the army, so as to avoid a situation where the tail is too big to lose.

Zhou Qingfeng has never studied political science or management. But as a Chinese, as long as you understand the 5,000-year civilization history of your own nation and read various classic stories about dynasty changes, you will have the basic attributes of adding 50 to your commanding ability and maxing your farming ability.

Rachel originally collected information about the "Aurora Legion" before Havana. She always felt that Zhou Qingfeng could gain a firm foothold in South America. Maybe he was not threatened by foreign enemies, and he was very good at doing business. .

A prosperous Havana, a peaceful Havana, and a peaceful Havana are all acceptable to Rachel. But now that she has just disembarked, the experience of reality made her concept turn 180 degrees.

The so-called prosperity, stability, and peace are just appearances. The ability of the "Aurora Legion" at the political level seems to be stronger than the two major forces in North America. A strong leadership core is the foundation of all appearances.

You must know that both the 'Enclave' and the Brotherhood of Steel implement militarized management internally, but there are many internal conflicts and conflicts, and there is no one strong enough to command all the forces in the organization.

And Victor Hugo....

"What kind of dictator is there? He is simply a Caesar who holds all the power and has the highest majesty." Rachel sighed from the bottom of her heart. (To be continued.)
