Chapter 449: The Enemy's Blockade
"The city in Havana is not small. More than 300,000 people are crowded together and there is a strong resource aggregation effect, but transportation has become a problem. The existing gasoline production cannot support public transportation, and it is even more impossible for private vehicles, so I got 20,000 bicycles.
Although these bicycles are simple, they can increase the hourly range of ordinary people from four to five kilometers to ten to fifteen kilometers, and can also carry dozens of kilograms of supplies. This thing seems inconspicuous, but it greatly improves work efficiency and expands the range of activities.
I also got 3,000 750 three-wheeled units, which are our official vehicles and transportation vehicles in recent times. Our current material assets are still too small, and it is not cost-effective to use trucks to transport a small amount of materials, and the efficiency is too low when using manpower.
Material production is very important, and transportation is also very important. This heavy motorcycle can be modified to drag half a ton of materials on the road, and it also has strong off-road capabilities, which is very suitable for our current situation.
Here are the fronts of ten steam locomotives I got. With them, we can use Cuba’s current railway network so that we can connect some factories and mines far away. This thing is just burning coal, which is much better than burning oil.
In the end, I got some vegetable seeds. Among them, there were fifty tons of mung beans. Uh... I admit that the quality is not good and the insect-eatening phenomenon is very serious, but I can always select some germination and can barely use it.
The above is all the transportation volume of 25,000 tons. Although the quality of these things is poor and the technology is even more backward, at least it can solve the problem. Let’s just use it for the time being. Next, I can bring 100 tons of supplies every time I go back and forth, which should be able to meet our needs.”
On the large freighter where the materials were transferred, Zhou Qingfeng introduced the huge amount of materials he had transported in the past few days, and Lina Fox was personally responsible for the inventory and reception, and also found a way to cover up the origin of this batch of things.
However, during the reception process, the little fox said while recording: "Our current foreign trade sales are very good, the promotion of metal currency is very smooth, the coast guard has also been established, and the pilots who were originally trained have also begun to perform airspace alert missions.
But we have a lot of trouble. The refinery is using the equipment you transported to transform and increase production, and strive to reach the level of 5,000 barrels of crude oil a day. But Cuba is a country with shortage of oil and coal, and our oil production cannot keep up with the processing capacity.
We used to import crude oil and coal from the outside world by sea, but "Incree" sent a fleet to Cancun Port, Mexico two days ago, directly sealing the channel for importing materials from Mexico. Now we can only go to Venezuela to import crude oil and coal, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive and inefficient."
When Zhou Qingfeng heard that "Yingkelay" came out to disturb the matter again, he frowned and said angrily: "Now everyone's living conditions are so bad, are those bastards still thinking about fighting?"
"The weather is too cold, we don't want to fight, and 'Incredley' doesn't want to fight, but they just want to curb our development. For this reason, they also learned from us to make steam warships and use coal to replace fuel. I think 'Incredley' wants to drag us into the arms race." Lina shrugged helplessly, saying that this is a common competition method between hostile forces.
The Port of Cancun is an important port for exporting materials from Mexico to the Aurora Legion, and is only 500 kilometers away from Havana. This port is blocked, and the Aurora Legion will need to run 2,000 kilometers to go to Venezuela to purchase coal and crude oil. This is not a good deal.
I have to say that the leaders of "Incredley" are quite good at trying to trick people.
Seeing Zhou Qingfeng scratching his head straight, Lina smiled and said, "The current situation is that two countries are already confronting each other, so naturally all kinds of tricks will be used. We need to talk to 'Enkre' about the division of forces between the two sides."
"The question is, is 'Encret' willing to talk to us?" Zhou Qingfeng was also learning how to think about the problem from the perspective of a politician. In the words of the British, it is 'no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests'.
"We have issued talks to Incredley through other forces many times, but they have to hand over the Kennedy aircraft carrier and the huge amount of equipment and supplies obtained from Florida, and even have to hand over a large number of backbone personnel in the legion. It would be strange if I could promise them this idea of asking for a price all over the place."
Zhou Qingfeng thought about compromising with "Yingcree", but "Yingcree" acts like I won't miss you, and quickly surrender obediently, making people angry.
But Lina kept giggling about Zhou Qingfeng's complaints, "Who made you plunder in Florida, and you took advantage of it, and you also made people suffer so much "Incredible". Do you know that many of the high-end talents you have in your hands are unique in the world?"
Well..., this is not unreasonable.
Thinking about the fact that she had robbed the Cape Calaveral rocket launch site in Florida, sweeping away the high-end talents of the Kennedy Space Center. Thinking about the fact that Lena once ran to Newport News, the most important shipyard in the United States, took away a large number of cutting-edge shipbuilders, and also cheated more than a dozen special ships and a large number of industrial equipment in the "Incredible". Zhou Qingfeng also felt a little embarrassed.
I really can't blame Yingkele regards the "Aurora Legion" as a great enemy, and wishes to sleep with his skin, drink his blood, crush his bones and raise ashes to eliminate the hatred in his heart. This is really because Zhou Qingfeng was too ruthless at the beginning, took too many advantages, and offended him too deeply. It would be strange that he could easily reconcile with you!
"The resource distribution of several countries in the Caribbean Sea is seriously uneven, with islands in the east being small and poor, and areas in the west being large and rich. We must open up a trade channel connecting Mexico, and where resources are too important to us.
We must let Incred know that it is not worth the cost of curbing us, and maybe we have to give them some sweet taste. Even if we can't open up their leadership, we must at least let the fleet stationed in Cancun open the smuggling channel."
As soon as he talked about 'smuggling', Lina smiled and said: "Our goods are actually very popular on the market. It is easy to organize smuggling fleets. However, how to open up smuggling channels is very troublesome. This matter can only be promoted by you, the commander of the Legion."
"No problem, I can promote this matter in person." Zhou Qingfeng felt that his ability to build peace is definitely not as good as that of Lina Fox, who has management ability, but his ability to cheat people is definitely eight streets higher than that of others.
