Chapter 764: The Lion Opens His Mouth

"Raising one mutant is almost equivalent to raising ten ordinary people, and 50,000 tons of food is enough to feed 500,000 of us for two or three months."

"The mutants have strong personal combat effectiveness, but they have a problem with their brains. Small units are fine in combat, but once the scale of the battle reaches the company level, it will be a disaster for the commander."

"If a large number of mutants are accepted, I think it will have a great impact on our current social system. Those big guys can only fight, or do some coolies, and they can't do anything else."

Butcher, Katerina, Lena and the others all expressed doubts about continuing to control more than 30,000 mutant humans. In fact, the liaison team stationed in Washington has been complaining that it is quite difficult to communicate with mutants.

Listening to his companion's complaints, Zhou Qingfeng asked back, "How is the search in Washington going?"

"It's only been done for less than half a month, and even the most basic cleanup will still take half a month." Lina is clear about the progress of the search in Washington, "But the harvest is not small, just the various data of various government agencies Archives and superhosts are invaluable."

"Then what can we exchange these 30,000 mutant humans for?" Zhou Qingfeng asked again.

"The first is the population, especially skilled workers. The quality of the population in the Caribbean is really poor. The local population in Cuba is pretty good. The foreign population in other places really doesn't understand anything. The worst thing is laziness. There’s no way to even train.”

Lina is in charge of the Ministry of the Interior, and often has to go to the grassroots to investigate. Many situations make people irritated. Life is a little better now, and many Latin Americans feel that the disaster is over.

The days before the Cataclysm were not much easier for Latin American countries. The people here were originally poor, but now that the legion pays for them, they feel that life is much better than before. Then... the laziness in his bones subconsciously emerged.

"Although we have implemented a rather harsh and high-pressure policy, some indigenous workers are not working hard, or they are passively slowing down their work. There are a lot of these people, and this situation spreads very fast like an infectious disease, and even some management are also affected.

Many people even think that as long as they express their allegiance to the legion commander, the legion will take care of them for the rest of their lives. "Lena was even resentful when she said that.

Hardworking, willing to work hard, disciplined and organized workers, this does not mean that you can have them without decades of training. This even reflects the social culture, not every place people are as restless as the Chinese.

Although the current population controlled by the Legion is already 500,000, the population that can be used like a finger is only about 50,000, and 15,000 of them are compatriots rescued by Zhou Qingfeng.

"We don't necessarily need a highly educated population. We also need a large number of ordinary people who have received basic education. However, a large number of Hispanics in the Legion can't even meet this minimum standard.

About half of the population controlled by the Legion is now inefficient waste, Latin American countries have always been bad, and there is a reason for this. "

Probably annoyed by the population issue, Lina talked a lot in one breath. Zhou Qingfeng also agreed to ask the Brotherhood of Steel for a group of high-quality people, but only God knows if they will give it.

As for the large amount of waste now...

"We feel that we should classify the personnel in the territory. Different people have different status and treatment.

Determined by examination and work performance. "Zhou Qingfeng also felt that the people under him should be encouraged to plan a reasonable upward path as soon as possible.

On this point, Lena Fox nodded in agreement on behalf of the Ministry of the Interior.

"Apart from personnel, what else should we need?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.

"We still need a lot of gasoline and diesel urgently. The Havana refinery has reached its capacity, but I guess the Brotherhood of Steel itself is short."

"The police and the military want drones, lots of drones, even civilian ones. Even though we have lost satellite navigation, remote-controlled drones can still greatly expand the combat effectiveness of violent military agencies. But this thing The same is missing everywhere.”

"To be honest, our communication continues to be insecure, and it's not convenient to rely on the radio. We need a complete communication solution that covers the entire city. But I think the whole world is struggling with communication problems now."

"I don't know if the Brotherhood of Steel is short of food. If possible, we can ask for 100,000 tons of food, which can greatly alleviate our current food shortage. But it is not easy to transport so much food."

"Gold, David Lawrence definitely has no shortage of gold. Ask for one hundred tons of gold and two thousand tons of silver. Our currency issuance is going well. The entire Caribbean and South America use our currency, but the mint is short of raw materials. .”

"We are not short of weapons. But we are extremely short of qualified officers and non-commissioned officers. The Chief of Staff of the Legion, Jackson, has complained many times that without qualified officers, the army cannot fight at all. But the Brotherhood of Steel will not easily take sent to us by our own officers."

Cuba is an island country with a rather backward infrastructure. Speaking of which, this is also lacking, and that is also lacking. Compared with developed North America, the gap is too big. There are some things that Zhou Qingfeng can get from the real world, and some things are restricted and cannot be obtained.

The result was that Zhou Qingfeng and the others listed a lot of things that they were in urgent need of after discussing. It was completely like a lion opening their mouths, and they really slaughtered David Lawrence like a fat sheep. When Rachel received the exchange list submitted by Zhou Qingfeng the next day, she immediately laughed out loud.

"Victor Hugo, what do you think we are?" the married woman asked solemnly again.

Kaizi who was slaughtered!

Zhou Qingfeng looked at the long list of needs listed by himself and others, and felt embarrassed to touch his nose, "This is what we need, but considering your affordability, we also provide some goods for normal transactions .”

The items that can be traded by the 'Aurora Legion' are very special. The first thing that attracts attention is the medicines. A large number of reserve medicines were obtained from their hands, some of which were to be destroyed, and Zhou Qingfeng bought them here at a very cheap price.

Rachel was very interested in medicine, but she was also very interested in another commodity-Yunwu Airplane. Zhou Qingfeng felt that he could strengthen his trade with the Brotherhood of Steel by reselling this light transport aircraft.

There are many amateur pilots in the United States, and they also have many civilian aircraft, but there is no market for light transport aircraft, because there is no need for them. But now large passenger and cargo planes are basically unable to fly, and the small Y5 has become very advantageous.

Even Rachel felt that a light aircraft like the Yun-5 was very suitable for the current environment of the wasteland. In the end, she said that she would submit the list given by Zhou Qingfeng to David Lawrence, and the two sides would inevitably argue about it. In a short period of time, it is definitely impossible to deal with this than buying and selling.

And Zhou Qingfeng is also preparing to carry out a rectification of the legion, "Lina, you mentioned earlier that the situation of negativity and slack in the legion is very serious. It must be unusual for you to be so angry but unable to deal with it. Who is taking the lead in destroying what I created? Legion?"

Lina took a deep breath and said a name, "Fedro."

"Mirta's husband, Fedro, the commander of the Cuban brigade?"

"Yes."

The situation is indeed a little serious. (To be continued.)
