Matanzas is more than 80 kilometers away from Havana, just outside the killing range of a nuclear bomb attack. Rachel arrived here to express her support for the Aurora Legion. By the way, is there anyone who needs help?
Walking out from the airship landing point is the reception camp of Matanzas. Rachel was originally worried that the legion that suffered a catastrophe would be a mess, but in fact, the entire Matanzas except for a large number of makeshift
The tents are filled with various soldiers armed with guns on guard.
"I didn't expect you had such good order here." Rachel walked around casually, accompanied by Zhou Qingfeng, and was very satisfied with the situation in the containment area. "I was worried that I would see a messy situation."
There were many children playing in the tent. They didn't understand the power of nuclear bombs at all, but they were having fun. The soldiers on guard stood at attention and saluted Zhou Qingfeng, and Zhou Qingfeng saluted in reply. Rachel ran over holding up the hem of her skirt.
We played with the children for a while and gave out some candies.
Everything looks harmonious.
"Are all containment areas in such good order?" Rachel was very happy when she returned to Zhou Qingfeng, seeing that the depression in Havana's tragic situation had disappeared significantly.
While accompanying him, Zhou Qingfeng also ordered the distribution of relief supplies, which were donated by the brothers who arrived with Rachel. Most of them were medicines, with a small amount of food and daily necessities.
After the order was issued, many whites and Han Chinese came out of the tents in the holding area. Judging from their faces and body shapes, they were middle-class people with good nutrition.
Regarding Rachel's question, Zhou Qingfeng explained: "Matanzas houses the core members of the legion, mostly family members of the legion government and military departments, about 100,000 people. These people are the legion's priority, and their lives are
Materials are guaranteed.”
"Really..." Hearing this, Rachel could probably imagine that there should be a model area in front of her, and it was definitely not the worst. "I hope to comfort those at the bottom of society. You don't need to take too much care of my emotions.
I hope I can help those who need it most."
Zhou Qingfeng curled his lips, "We currently don't have the lowest social class, only the division of labor is different. If you want to see other containment areas, you need to change places."
Rachel nodded, followed Zhou Qingfeng in the car and walked dozens of kilometers east from Matanzas, arriving at a place called Cardenas. It was further away from Havana, and Rachel couldn't believe it when she got off the bus.
My own eyes, "Is this a place to take in refugees?"
There is a large area of farmland in Cardenas. There are no tent areas like those in Matanzas, only ordinary homes. The people living here have a peaceful look, and there is no trace of the atmosphere of war.
"After the nuclear winter, the Legion began to develop the entire Cuba, evacuating the agricultural population from Havana a year ago. Cardenas was originally abandoned, and later became an agricultural settlement. The residences are all original, and with a little tidying up
It's habitable. It houses about 10,000 people."
Cardenas was originally a small town, mainly agricultural, with a port. Rachel drove around the town in a car, and she even saw many large ships parked by the port.
Without waiting for the wife to ask, Zhou Qingfeng took the initiative to explain: "Each ship is a suitable residence. It can accommodate one or two thousand people and carry thousands of tons of supplies. It is a very good containment tool."
Rachel came to offer condolences, and she was fully prepared mentally and shed a lot of tears, but now the situation was stable and harmonious - tears are nothing! The wife and mother felt that these residents did not want to look at the miserable situation of their families being broken up and their families destroyed.
, on the contrary, I lived quite comfortably.
"Victor, tell me honestly, how much have you lost?" The wife couldn't help but feel suspicious. She put away her pitiful heart and treated the tall man in front of her as the commander of the army again, "
Are you showing me the worst case scenario?"
Judging from all past cases, anyone who despises this guy will reap the consequences.
Zhou Qingfeng was personally placing candies for the children in the town, and loudly announced that these were sent to them by Ms. Rachel Connor. The children who received the candies politely came over and saluted Rachel.
Thank you, and then screamed Sayazi and continued playing wildly.
Seeing Zhou Qingfeng return to her side, Rachel asked again: "The residents here don't have any fear, as if the nuclear bomb attack never happened. Did you do something else? Your territory was hit.
You're still so calm even though you've got a nuclear bomb?"
"What kind of conspiracy do you think I have set up?" Zhou Qingfeng chuckled a few times. He walked up to Rachel and sighed: "I don't want to lie to you, because it makes no sense. But things are more complicated than you think.
Simple and no conspiracy.
As I just said, the Legion began to redevelop Cuba a year ago. Havana's population was diverted. The agricultural population began to expand externally, which also reduced Havana's population pressure and provided employment.
At its peak, the legion had a population of about 1.8 million, including 1 million agricultural people. Next came industry, commerce and manufacturing, about 100,000 people. There were also government agencies and the military system, with more than 50,000 people serving.
There are more than 100,000 karma.
In other words, the legion has an effective ruling population of about 1.3 million. When the Enclave bombarded Havana, these people were either not in the city or were being evacuated. Before the Enclave's nuclear bomb attack, these people were all settled.
"
When Rachel heard this, her lips slightly opened with an expression of realization that said, "I knew it would be like this." She glanced at Zhou Qingfeng with a slightly unhappy look and said, "Interesting, very interesting.
If you want to say who is the most cunning in the world, there is absolutely no one as good as you, Victor Hugo. You have deceived all of us!"
Zhou Qingfeng shook his head and said: "No, I didn't lie to anyone. I didn't know that the Enclave would attack me with a nuclear bomb. In fact, before the nuclear bomb came, there were more than 100,000 police officers and some residents in Havana responsible for public security. I spent
It took a lot of effort to evacuate this group of people.
Don’t think I haven’t lost anything. Havana is the city I focused on building in the past two years. Now all my efforts are in vain. The original administrative system needs to be rebuilt because the hardware facilities are gone.”
Thinking about the other party's city being destroyed, it was indeed a heavy loss. Rachel unconsciously felt sad for the other party. She comforted: "Don't worry, we will help you. But you still have half a million residents.
?”
A simple calculation also shows that a large part of the population that Zhou Qingfeng just mentioned is still missing. After Rachel mentioned this, he lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "Those remaining people, they are not effectively ruling
population."
Rachel's heart tightened and she stared at Zhou Qingfeng.
Zhou Qingfeng seemed not to want to say it, but finally spoke: "In the past year or so, the Enclave has deliberately allowed a large number of people to enter Cuba, numbering about one million. I have tried my best to take care of those who can be absorbed and put to use.
.
But most of these people are urban poor, basically illiterate, most of them are black, and have no survival skills. They don’t know how to farm, they don’t know how to work, and they have a bad temper. They used to be the scum of society who received social relief vouchers, and they are used to it.
Wandering around the streets, nothing has changed now.
In the past, the U.S. government could still support them, but the Enclave dumped them on me like a burden. To be honest, I didn't want these guys who only caused trouble, but I never figured out how to deal with it, and even called
Provide relief to feed these half a million useless people.
When I evacuated the city's population, the scum of society started smashing and looting. So I simply borrowed the Enclave's nuclear bomb and cleared away this burden."
Rachel's eyes were full of disbelief, "You didn't notify them to evacuate?"
"No."
"You watched them get killed by nuclear bombs?"
"Yes."
"That's half a million people. Just because they are of no use to you, just because you find them boring, just because they are at the bottom of society, you let them die?"
"Yes, half a million people, only more, not less. Those should be the 'lower class' you want to see, but they are all finished now."
Bang... Rachel was extremely angry and slapped Zhou Qingfeng.
The wife's mind was messed up by the ruthless words, and she almost broke down and cried, "God, why do I meet you cold-blooded guys? Why do people like you become the superiors? Why do you do it again?
