Tania returned home with her hands full of bags, and Zhang Hong, the head of the family, also came back. Due to Zhou Qingfeng's preferential treatment, the Zhang family now has a large population and a lot of children.
"My dear, look at the many things I bought." Tania showed off the clothes she bought to Zhang Hong like a gift. Each piece was very different from the miserable environment of the wasteland, and looked luxurious and gorgeous.
"I also bought some things." Zhang Hong kicked the box in the living room, which contained several tin cans and wine bottles. "I picked some you like."
"Oh...it's coffee, red wine, and condensed milk." Tania picked out a bunch of things from the box. They were all daily consumer goods in the past, but they have been out of stock for two years now.
"These are special supplies for senior military officers and are not for sale to the outside world. The price is very expensive." Zhang Hong grabbed a bottle of red wine and said, "Our whole family can have a good drink at night. I wish our next Mexican campaign a great success."
Tania was unhappy when she heard about the war. She would never forget that the day she and Zhang Hong got married was the night before Zhang Hong went to the battlefield as a top soldier. It was a fateful night. "If it is a matter of confidentiality,
Just don’t say it.”
"Now all fools know that we are going to attack Mexico. This is not a secret." Zhang Hong sighed: "I have just graduated from the short training course for senior military officers of the Corps and will soon lead the Guards Regiment to land on the Yucatan Peninsula.
Now that the Brotherhood of Steel is wooing us and the Enclave has suffered heavy losses, no one can stop us from swallowing this fat piece of Mexico. By then, the Second Guards Regiment commanded by Rom and I will sweep across the entire peninsula."
"Is the enemy weak?" Tania asked.
"No, on the contrary, it's quite strong." Zhang Hong sat down on his sofa and shook his head: "The Diego regime in Mexico City still has at least two million hard-core subordinates, and there are ten troops on the front line.
It's tens of thousands, and the equipment is not bad. We don't have an absolute advantage.
Mr. Qin previously commanded the defense of Merida, and was severely beaten by the enemy who had superior firepower. Tens of thousands of people were killed and injured in the city. The technical troops we sent to support also suffered heavy casualties under the enemy's sea and air attacks.
It wasn't until the Enclave's capital was destroyed that Diego's regime had no choice but to withdraw its troops, and we were lucky enough to win the defense battle.
That war taught us a great lesson. We must use all our strength to deal with the enemy. Now the whole army is preparing for war. We will fight the enemy in a decisive battle and completely eradicate Diego's influence."
The Aurora Legion will conduct its first large-scale battle since its establishment. The opponent is the Mexican Diego regime, which cannot be underestimated. In the eyes of the Legion's top brass, the defense of Merida shows that the enemy is not someone who can be bullied at will.
That night, Zhang Hong was drinking and reveling with his wife and concubines at home. Early the next morning, he said goodbye to his wife and children and entered the army, preparing to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy.
At the same time, there was a bleak autumn weather in Mexico City. At the National Palace in the city, the zombie president held a cabinet meeting and called in all senior officials to discuss how to deal with the current bad situation.
"Our biggest current dilemma is to raise military expenditures, purchase weapons and equipment, food and clothing, and stabilize morale." The parliament hall of the National Palace, where Zhou Qingfeng once came to show off. Today, the zombie president is still sitting on the rostrum, but in front of it
The top government officials are no longer as arrogant as before.
When it comes to money, it just brings me to tears.
This bastard Zhou Qingfeng pretended to be Governor Alfonso and defrauded the last few coins in the Diego regime's treasury. Now the government is completely out of money and can't even pay the salaries of civil servants and the army.
Money is not everything, but nothing is impossible without money.
Seeing that his finances are about to go bankrupt, and the Enclave will no longer support him, the zombie president's only option is to lower his profile and borrow money from senior officials in the government. Yes, the president borrows money from cabinet members, and the patriarch of the Diego family borrows money from his family.
Members borrow money.
However, when the president mentioned borrowing money, a bunch of people in the cabinet fell silent. Everyone looked at their positions with wandering eyes and did not speak. The president waited on the rostrum for a long time and was actually silent!
The zombie president has no emotions, but the current situation forced it to roar hoarsely. It called out by name: "Suzano, how much do you want to pay?"
Suzano had always been against Zhou Qingfeng before. He sent people to assassinate him in the early stage and disrupted the situation in the later stage. But now this important official of the regime and the family boss was sitting in the front row of the parliament hall and remained silent. He just had a livid face.
After being forced to panic, he asked: "Is there really no money in the treasury?"
"Of course there is no money in the treasury." The zombie president replied affirmatively.
"Then we don't have any money either." Suzano yelled strangely, "Your Excellency President, you have no money, how can you think that I have money? I just have more subordinates. In order to convince everyone, my
All the money is spent.”
Suzano cried out that he was poor, and a bunch of people in the cabinet immediately shouted that they were acting crazy and acting stupid. Some said that they only had some real estate and no money. Some said that they only had more servants and no money. Some said that they were powerful but very clean, and they also had no money.
Listening to a bunch of people noisy and noisy, the zombie president is a clay figure but also has a temper. The group of people in front of him usually cheat, kidnap, and plunder, and they are very capable when making money one by one.
The huge country of Mexico is actually a good place to achieve hegemony, but the entire regime has fallen into the situation it is in today because of these moths.
Think back to when the Diego family seized the rule of Mexico, they were very ambitious and had great ambitions. With millions of square kilometers of land and tens of millions of people, the entire Caribbean will be the family's back garden. As a result, it has only been two years.
to the point of destruction.
"Do you really have to wait for the Aurora Legion to attack Mexico City before you regret it? We still have a chance to fight to the death, do we really have to wait for death?" The zombie president said the predicament at hand, and below it
All was quiet.
Everyone looked at Suzano. Suzano frowned and said: "We still have hundreds of thousands of troops, and it is impossible to be defeated by the Aurora Legion. The worst we can do is cede the Yucatan Peninsula, Victor.
Hugo only had a million people in his hands, and he would be satisfied."
Yes, yes, yes, the Yucatan Peninsula, plus the entire Central America, such a large area is enough to support the Aurora Legion to death. Victor Hugo should be content, right?
The zombie president was so angry at this argument that he couldn't help but curse: "When you met your opponents in the past, you didn't kill someone's whole family that time, you showed mercy that time. Now you actually hope that your enemies will be merciful and let them go."
Passed? Are you stupid?
Now we have more than 100,000 troops who cannot even guarantee basic food needs. Suzano, can you provide the money? If you don't provide the money, give up the position of Minister of Defense and hand over control of the army to others."
Suzano's eyes rolled around and his face jumped. He finally stood up and shouted loudly: "Don't think I don't know, there are actually several tons of gold in the treasury. And I said I don't have any money.
Money, let someone else take the position of Minister of Defense. I don’t care about it a long time ago.”
After saying this, Suzano strode out of the parliament hall, and then a large number of people from the cabinet hurriedly followed. Within two minutes, only the zombie president was left alone in the huge hall.
Facing the deserted and silent hall, you, as president, have nothing to do. The boss of the Diego family and the head of Mexico's current regime also fell into despair.
