In the sky, twenty giant Kirov airships are taking off. Looking up at these behemoths hundreds of meters tall and turning them into small dots will make people marvel at the power of industry and technology.
And Anji stood on the balcony of the State Guesthouse, looking up at these airships and marveling at the hidden strength of the Aurora Legion. Under the command of Zhou Qingfeng, there were too many mysteries that she could not figure out.
Several knocks on the door...
"Please come in." Angie turned her head, and her teacher Chanrad walked in from outside the room. Seeing the teacher carrying a suitcase, she hurriedly asked: "Are we going back to New York now?"
In one night, Chanrad seemed to have aged ten years. He had never been so depressed during the most difficult period of the Cataclysm. At this moment, his face was haggard, his clothes were messy, and he was very different from his usual elite posture in suits and ties.
"Your father refused to listen to me, and someone else took over the negotiations. Now I have nothing to do." Chanrad sighed, "I did come to say goodbye, but I don't want to go back to New York. I want to stay in Mexico."
Anji was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why? Because of Victor's conspiracy?"
"No, no." Chanrad shook his head mockingly, "There is actually no conspiracy between big countries, only a confrontation of strength. Anyone who can become a leader is not a fool. Those who want to use conspiracy to change the status quo can only use strength.
A delusion that only a weak person can have.
I misjudged the Aurora Legion before, and I was very wrong. I didn’t understand it at all, and I didn’t understand Victor Hugo. So I decided to stay and study this force. This country has not yet been founded, but it is already like a country.
A powerful force."
At the end of his speech, Chanrad laughed at himself: "I am an economist, and studying such topics is my duty and my hobby. Maybe if I get results, I can win the Nobel Prize in Economics in the future, hahaha..."
"
Chanrad smiled a little bitterly, Angie nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Victor approved?"
Chandra shrugged and said: "I was also worried about being rejected when I applied to do research on the Legion's territory and bureaucracy. However, Commander Hugo did not embarrass me. He even gave me some help. The requirement was that I must use a neutral perspective.
Record everything you see.”
Anji nodded again and said with a smile: "Victor is really very generous in what he does, just like this negotiation. He always creates subversive situations and offers conditions that no one can refuse."
Speaking of this, Anji's heart suddenly moved. She shouted loudly: "I'll go too."
"What?" Chandra was stunned.
"I will also accompany you to investigate the Aurora Legion. I feel that everything here is completely different from what I learned in the past. It is a strange system, even a superior system. I have a strong feeling for it.
Interested, I want to know about it.”
Anji had some indescribable thoughts and irritability in her heart. When she learned that her teacher was going to study the Aurora Legion, she understood that the root cause of her troubles and irritability was her difficulty in understanding the success of the Aurora Legion.
"Teacher, you said that if you want to defeat an opponent, you must at least understand it. The Aurora Legion is our opponent, and now is a good opportunity to understand it. I'm afraid such an opportunity will never come back in the future." Anji Yue
The more certain I became, the more depressed my mood became.
Considering Angie's identity, Chandra's first reaction was to refuse. But considering Angie's identity, there seemed to be no way to stop her. This would even be beneficial to his research.
The teacher and student looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere became much more cheerful.
The airships in the sky are slowly leaving, and they will cross the Pacific Ocean and reach the other side of the distant earth. Zhou Qingfeng is also looking at the sky, and he has contacted the mainland with the help of Chinese forces in Africa.
The local leaders responded very eagerly to Zhou Qingfeng's request for assistance. He originally wanted 5,000 officers and non-commissioned officers to maintain and strengthen his army, but the local government decided to support him with 50,000 people.
From the government, military, culture and education, science and technology, medical care, construction, transportation, the talent needs in many aspects will be met one by one. The local government even directly stated that these people will cut off all ties with the local government when they arrive in Mexico and fully accept Zhou Qingfeng's plan.
Take command and the locals will never interfere.
In order to gain Zhou Qingfeng's trust, the local leaders spent a lot of money. They also realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an excellent opportunity to plant nails in North America. If they miss it now, they may never have it again.
As long as the Aurora Legion has a firm foothold in Mexico, America's future recovery will not be smooth sailing, and it may even suffer heavy losses. Not to mention using 50,000 people to win such an opportunity, even sacrificing 5 million people is worth it.
It takes a month to transport people across the Pacific by cruise ship, but a week is enough to use an airship. Zhou Qingfeng sent his chief of general staff Qin Weidong to the mainland by airship. On the one hand, he showed respect, and on the other hand, he also sent 6,000 tons of medical supplies.
Medicines used to be given as gifts.
There is no shortage of anything else in the local area, but there is not enough medicine.
This high-profile delivery of supplies is also to show the outside world that the Aurora Legion is connected to the mainland, and also to conceal the origin of the legion's large number of old weapons, causing others to misunderstand. At the same time, it also means that it has a big backer and is worth defecting to.
When all the airships disappeared from the sky, Zhou Qingfeng turned around. There were still a few people standing in his office, and the one in front of him was the slightly uneasy Foreign Minister Clooney.
Seeing that Zhou Qingfeng finally turned around, the old white man Clooney quickly reflected in a deep voice: "Commander, I bear full responsibility for this mistake. I will strengthen education and supervision within the department to prevent such things from happening again."
Lula, the executioner affiliated with Cat's Claw, straightened his back and stood behind Clooney. The former military police captain looked calm at the moment, but he was already happy in his heart. He had been thinking about how to perform meritorious service since he joined the Aurora Legion, and as a result
He caught a big shot that no one else dared to touch.
"There will be no next time." Zhou Qingfeng shook his head. His deep voice made Clooney sweat profusely. Everyone knows that Uncle Zhou is ruthless.
"Under my control, the army cannot do business, and this has always been implemented well. Similarly, the bureaucracy cannot do business, let alone have its own armed forces. In the past, when our power was founded, some places had to be accommodating, but now
It’s no longer possible. We need to move towards formalization.”
Zhou Qingfeng's words made Clooney heartbroken. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs he was in charge of was the most bizarre department in the Legion. Those who engaged in diplomacy actually had their own armed forces and could do business and make money on their own. They almost walked sideways in the Legion.
But this time, Lula, a mad dog, caught his eye and caught people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs using his own armed forces to smuggle into the Enclave.
"Mr. Clooney, go back and continue to be your foreign minister. The armed forces in your hands will be handed over to the Special Operations Command, and the commercial and trade department will be transferred to the newly established Ministry of Commerce. It will be good for both of us to keep the business simple." Zhou Qingfeng said lightly.
The judgment and disposition were made easily.
Clooney breathed out as if he had saved his life. He immediately felt a chill on his back and his whole body was wet with sweat. Just thinking that he had no armed force and could not make money in business, and his power was greatly reduced, it hurt him to death.
.
Zhou Qingfeng looked at the sky outside the office again, looked at the invisible airship flying in the distance, and whispered: "My journey is across the stars and the sea. There is still a long road ahead. I hope you can follow me and don't fall behind.
