Chapter 842 Investment

New York, Staten Island. ??Chinese?Chinese?=≤≈

The Beiwei Oil Refinery is finished, which makes David Lawrence lose a card that can control the overall situation. But if there is less, there will be less. Without this hole card, Your Excellency the regional commander-in-chief is more sober and pragmatic.

Commander Simon, the scapegoat, has been put on trial and damned by millions of people around New York. And David Lawrence continued to lead the people in the ruling area to survive in the last days, and he even gained higher prestige because of his wife's perfect handling.

However, anyone who knows the inside story will know that the loss of the Beiwei Oil Refinery has greatly changed David Lawrence. Rachel felt that these changes were beneficial. At least her husband valued family again, was willing to go home for dinner every day, and cared more about herself and her daughter.

However, Rachel was also disappointed. In the past, her husband was occupied by several beautiful female assistants. Now the female assistant is gone, but David Lawrence has changed from a confident king to a self-disciplined avenger, and continues to leave his wife aside to guard the vacant room.

David Lawrence works at home and in his own study. After dinner and rest for a while, he will get into the study and continue working. This makes the wife and daughter who feel the warmth of the family again are left out in the cold.

At the dining table, Angie turned her head to look at the light in her father's study, and asked her mother in a low voice: "Is the conflict between Dad and Victor really irreconcilable? Both of them are the best men in the world, far apart and If there is no conflict, why can't we just sit down and have a good talk?"

"It's probably because they are all too good, so no one wants to be worse than the other, and they all want to compete for the title of the best." Rachel is also helpless, and no one can imagine that things have come to this point.

And in the study, as a leader who commands millions of people and controls a region full of devastation, as long as David Lawrence wants to work, there will definitely be countless jobs waiting for him. At this moment, there are a lot of things waiting to be processed on his desk.

"Mutants are really easy to use. They don't need fuel, and they don't need very good equipment. Their combat efficiency is much higher than that of ordinary troops." His Excellency Lawrence was reading a combat report, and the more than 30,000 mutants in his hands had already begun to attack the city. .

Out of the fear of mutated creatures, basically as long as the banner of the mutated army is directed, any hostile force is doomed to be demoralized, and will either flee or surrender. In just one month, the two forces in Maine that were still resisting were wiped out by David Lawrence.

"In Quebec, Victor really sent someone." Seeing the second report, David Lawrence frowned. According to reports from intelligence personnel stationed in the north, the "Aurora Legion" has opened direct flights from Havana to Montreal and Quebec City.

In the past two months, there have been more than 1,000 members of the Legion active in Quebec, and this number is still expanding. At the same time, an oil refinery in Quebec City has been restarted. Crude oil from Venezuela has been transported by sea, and a large amount of refined oil will be refined.

"Victor Hugo's ambitions are really great!" Knowing that the Quebec oil refinery has reopened, David Lawrence's first reaction was to send someone to blow up the oil refinery himself, but in the end he held back the pain in his heart. Impulse - people with aircraft carriers are amazing!

"But the Quebecers will not follow you easily." David Lawrence was very confident about this. Compared with the poor ghosts in South America and the Caribbean, Canadians have seen the market at least. It is not easy to do ideological work to let such a group of people go to Cuba.

There was also an intelligence service request for grain under reports of refinery starts. The reason why Quebecers have not reached the point of desperation is that David Lawrence finally opened his own grain warehouse and provided 50,000 tons of food aid.

But 50,000 tons is a drop in the bucket for the millions of people still alive in Quebec,

Several local self-governing bodies are demanding more food. But David Lawrence didn't have enough surplus food. Do you want to continue investing?

David Lawrence just thought about it for a while before being trapped by another question—how could the 'Aurora Legion' have the confidence to snatch people? Victor Hugo's food supply should be even tighter. It is impossible for that poor place in Cuba to have much food reserves!

There is a separate file cabinet for the information from the 'Aurora Legion', and David Lawrence rummaged through the file cabinet for several pieces of recently learned information.

For example, Victor Hugo persecuted religious people, forced conversions, and blasphemed the gods. The intelligence analysts even made serious predictions, saying that the 'Aurora Legion' would cause chaos because of this, and it was no longer a threat.

"Damn it, if Victor couldn't deal with those religious people who have no power at all, he would have died a hundred times already." David Lawrence scoffed at the so-called 'prediction'. How can people nowadays have any beliefs?

Another example is the "Aurora Legion" dispatched more than 30 oil tankers of more than 50,000 tons in one breath, cruise ships, and freighters. All of these large ships sailed to Quebec City. Just filling the fuel tanks of these tankers can bankrupt the 'Aurora Legion'. but…….

The refinery in Quebec City has restarted!

Worry!

What a joy it would be to control the oil wells in Venezuela, get the refineries in Quebec City, and have your own petrochemical industry. It's a pity that this industrial chain is controlled by others.

But that only increases the negotiating leverage of Quebecers, since the people who work at the refinery are all Canadians. After the refinery restarts, they will not leave easily. Will Victor Hugo make such a foolish move?

A report also said that the "Aurora Legion" has recently increased the export of fresh food. Among them, the freighter to New York has increased from every half a month to once a week, and the transportation volume has also increased from more than 10,000 tons to 20,000 tons.

"Where did Victor get his development capital?" David Lawrence even saw frozen pork and chicken on the export list, "Raising these livestock requires a lot of feed, could it be that the 'Aurora Legion' can get a lot of corn? "

An important use of corn is as livestock feed, and the United States continues to produce the most corn in the world. However, after the nuclear winter, the corn harvest was completely wiped out. Now that the temperature is rising, but the global drought is raging, David Lawrence also faces the problem of lack of feed in order to engage in breeding.

"Maybe it's corn stocks from Brazil." David Lawrence can only guess this way, after all, the "Aurora Legion" controls the route to South America. It's really enviable to think about it. South America's resources are too rich.

And the last piece of information was a letter of intent for cooperation, Victor Hugo asked to restart several paper mills and daily chemical factories around New York. He said he was willing to invest money in the hope of gaining control.

"What does this guy want to do? He wants to buy these factories?" David Lawrence was quite startled. He thought to himself: I am still worrying about the food and fuel that are related to survival, but this guy actually started investing. Building daily necessities? Why is he so powerful?
