Chapter 762: Writing a Letter
In the middle of the night, the temperature dropped sharply. There was a heater in the hotel, but it was still cold.
Rachel sat on the table by the window, preparing to send her husband a radio coded letter. In the dead of night, she was very clear-headed. After careful consideration, she began typing letters on the computer she carried with her.
"Dear David, I have been living in Havana for three days. Although the time is not long, I decided to contact the top management of the 'Aurora Legion' headed by Victor Hugo. I have received a rather grand welcome here , also made our request.
The senior executives of the legion expressed their willingness to consider our request, and I will also take this time to tell you the information I have seen in the past three days.
Before describing the situation here, we first need to change our concept—Victor Hugo is not a dispensable person as imagined, let alone a puppet. The entire 'Aurora Legion' and Havana are under his firm control, and his prestige among the people is extremely high.
I know it's unbelievable, but it's true - it's only been less than a year, but the young boy who lived across the street from us has grown into a powerful figure over hundreds of thousands of people .
In the past three days, through the investigation of my entourage and my own experience, I can clearly feel the cruelty, decisiveness and firmness of Victor's rule. Maybe you will say that this is the credit of other people's assistance, but to make talented people obey orders, this ability is even more rare.
Havana's society is quite stable, and it can even be said to be the most stable place after the cataclysm. We previously judged that the "Aurora Legion" was isolated overseas, with scarce resources, scarce manpower, and limited development potential. But now it seems that the situation is very different from what we imagined.
Lena Fox is Victor's right-hand man, this Miss Fox from a big consortium is unimaginably shrewd. She controlled the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the 'Aurora Legion' and formed a capable and efficient management team, making remarkable achievements in commercial trade and city management.
Through the management of the Ministry of the Interior, almost all the resources Havana needs are shipped from the Caribbean and South America by sea, and the various daily necessities produced by the "Aurora Legion" are also sought-after goods in the eyes of businessmen.
The development of commerce and trade has made the entire city of Havana extremely dynamic, and it has also brought it abundant labor resources. Compared with the chaotic and disorderly ruling population in our hands, the Havana population is far more organized and disciplined.
The market in Havana can sell unimaginable goods. Many daily necessities are scarce even for us, but the supply here is quite abundant. Can you imagine that there are tens of thousands of greenhouse planting farms here? I saw it with my own eyes.
Victor almost spent more than half of the entire legion's financial resources on production and construction. I even saw them exporting baskets of tomatoes. This food has been extinct in North America due to the sudden nuclear winter, but ordinary people here can eat it for a little money.
And because the basic needs of life can be met, the residents here have a very high sense of identity with the "Aurora Legion". Moreover, there are still a large number of immigrants trying to squeeze into this city, because only here can there be a stable life guarantee.
However, in my opinion, the 'Aurora Legion' is not a perfect paradise, it also has great difficulties. First of all, commerce and trade basically rely on sea transportation, and once it is blocked, it will die.
I bet Victor absolutely wants to control a piece of land, and that piece of land is either Florida or Mexico, because those are the two closest places to Cuba.
I can feel that the 'Aurora Legion' is doing everything possible to expand its military strength, and their conscription operations have never stopped. It is said that there are eight recruit training camps inside and outside the city, with more than 4,000 soldiers participating in the training, and the total strength should reach 10,000.
This is a very dangerous number. I think no matter how hard Victor tries, their food will not be enough. The fact that they haven't had a famine until now is nothing short of a miracle.
And this is our chance, I think I can use my good personal relationship with Victor to advance our plan to take control of their mutant army. "
When Rachel wrote this, she suddenly hesitated. She thought about it and deleted the line of 'personal relationship with Victor'. As a smart woman, she was able to distinguish priorities. David Lawrence was her husband and her greatest reliance.
Although the good relationship with Victor Hugo and the little ambiguity made Rachel quite complacent, but thinking about the competition and conflicts between him and her husband, she still didn't want to stimulate her man too much. The situation in North America is already bad, and it is better not to mention some things.
"We don't know how the 'Aurora Legion' recruited tens of thousands of mutants and 'zombies', but there is no doubt that this is a very powerful force. However, I believe it is quite difficult to maintain such a force, especially It is the thousands of kilometers of sea supply lines that are too far away.
It is not clear what price will be paid to obtain this force that changes the balance of power within the Brotherhood. I believe Victor will definitely ask for a lot of supplies, especially food.
I think we can agree to them as long as the conditions are not too excessive. We have found two to three million tons of government grain reserves, and it is not unacceptable to divide them up. Of course, I have a small suggestion, do you think Angie will marry Victor... "
After writing this, Rachel stopped again, shook her head and deleted the last sentence. As the daughter of David Lawrence, the sixteen-year-old Angelina Lawrence is already a socialite in the Brotherhood of Steel. Smart, generous, beautiful, everyone likes her.
Many people want to get closer to David Lawrence through marriage, but Rachel knows that her husband is actually quite disgusted with marrying a daughter. In other words... Your Excellency Lawrence already has a candidate for a son-in-law in his heart—Tony Parker, the lucky guy and the troublemaker.
In the process of David Lawrence taking charge of the regional commander-in-chief, Tony Parker, as a small follower, caused countless troubles and confusions to his opponents. This inexplicable ability endowed him with a fondness for Lucky. And Angie doesn't seem to hate this kid either.
But Rachel hates Tony Parker, especially after seeing the rising Victor Hugo, she doesn't like to see things that are not serious, and likes troublemakers with a smooth tongue. But she knows better that it is difficult for her to have a say in her daughter's marriage.
The Lawrence family is no longer an ordinary family living in Queens, New York. Their words and deeds have the ability to change the power pattern of the entire wasteland. For example, when Rachel came to Hawa this time, she could easily find Victor Hugo. If someone else came, she might not even be able to find the gate of the temple with a pig's head.
At the end of the email, Rachel still wrote solemnly: "The development potential of the 'Aurora Legion' is quite strong, Victor Hugo will never be willing to be trapped in Cuba and do nothing. We should try our best to cooperate with this force Cooperation,……."
In the end, Rachel hesitated for a long time, and added: "David, I hope you can understand that no matter whether we can cooperate with the 'Aurora Legion', we should face up to and even be wary of this opponent.
Yes, I used the word 'opponent'. Because once Victor Hugo becomes strong, it will be difficult for anyone to suppress him with his governing skills and tough personality. An unstoppable Victor will give us more headaches than the myopic rival factions of the current Brotherhood. "(To be continued.)
