A white screen was hung high, and a projector projected a map of the entire Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico regions on it. Clooney was pointing at the map with a laser pointer and explaining.
"Three days ago, two small steamers we were bound for Nassau were hijacked, two crew members were killed on the spot, the supplies on board were burned, one ship was sunk, and the other was put back to warn us.
Starting two days ago, Havana sent more than ten commandos to infiltrate our defense line, and the two sides exchanged fire. As of this afternoon, our side had suffered 17 casualties, and the other side's casualties were unknown.
Yesterday, we spent precious aviation fuel and dispatched drones from Nassau to conduct reconnaissance of Florida and the Gulf Coast. We found that although the nuclear bomb attack severely damaged the social system of the southern United States, it did not completely destroy them.
Based on our interrogation of the prisoners, we can draw the following conclusion: the 'Enclave' forces occupying the southern United States still exist and are gradually recovering. They even sent people into Mexico to plunder supplies and people.
The 'Enclave' definitely regards our 'Aurora Legion' as a formidable enemy. It was just yesterday that the 'Enclave' denounced us on the radio station and asked us to hand over all large aircraft, ships, and heavy-duty aircraft stored in Nassau.
Machinery, various personnel and materials.
But now the focus of the 'Enclave' is to restore its own strength, and it will definitely not be able to free its hands to deal with us, so supporting our enemies to fight against us is an effective tactic. Now the Diego forces occupying Havana have obtained the 'Enclave'
'Support.
Recently, several Enclave planes have come to investigate us, and they have also sent people to sneak into our interior to instigate rebellion. I myself have encountered such instigators many times and have reported them."
Old man Clooney was originally from the 'Enclave', and now there are many members of the 'Aurora Legion' who were originally from the 'Enclave'. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, before the 'Enclave' has an absolute advantage,
No one wants to return to the North American continent that was wiped out by nuclear bombs.
This situation is not due to how loyal the people in the legion are to Zhou Qingfeng, but that they have a great fear of the North American continent. Because from a large number of videos taken by drones, the 'Aurora Legion' discovered a lot of scary things.
"Humans, animals and plants on the North American continent are mutating, which seems to be caused by nuclear radiation and the leakage of certain biological and chemical weapons. Two human mutants have now been discovered, one with a shrunken body and slow movement. We named it'
Zombies'; the other is huge in size and moves extremely violently, we named it 'mutant'."
The 'Aurora Legion' still knows very little about these two human mutants, but based on what they have seen so far, absolutely no one wants to keep company with them. There is even a call within the Legion to completely isolate themselves from North America.
continental connections, or simply migrate to South America or even Africa.
But Zhou Qingfeng knew that this was actually the inevitable result of biochemical weapons being quietly released after nuclear bombs washed away the land. The global ecosystem will face the threat of mutated organisms.
However, the biggest threat to the 'Aurora Legion' now is naturally Diego's forces occupying Havana. How can you allow others to snore next to the bed? If you want your own development not to be disturbed, you must get rid of this group of people as soon as possible.
"Do we have the capital to fight a war now?" If Zhou Qingfeng wants to go to war, he will consume not only guns and ammunition, but also various logistics materials. As for logistics, he can only ask Lina Fox.
"We are currently trying to rebuild the industrial system. We are consuming a lot of various materials. We are still unable to complete the virtuous cycle of the industrial system. If you can delay the war for half a year, the situation will be much better. It is estimated that even the nuclear winter will be over by then.
." Miss Fox said.
Zhou Qingfeng smiled and said, "Actually, the nuclear winter is helping us. After all, we are the best prepared. If we delay for half a year and wait for the nuclear winter to pass, the Enclave will probably recover. We don't need to fight and just surrender."
Lina shrugged her shoulders and said: "Then don't expect to use planes and ships on a large scale. As soon as those things are started, the fuel inventory will fall down. All production recovery plans will be finished immediately."
Zhou Qingfeng looked at a screen at the command center again. On it was Dr. Rezzo who was far away in Nassau, conducting a video conference through a remote communication system. "Doctor, the only ones we can use at our disposal now are those steamships. I think I need
Several steam battleships that can be used for combat."
Hearing the words "steam battleship", everyone in the meeting laughed. Because this is equivalent to a comprehensive setback of more than a hundred years in technological level, and everyone has returned to the level before World War I.
Dr. Rezzo immediately replied: "Thank God we have the Aurora, so we have sufficient energy in metallurgy and metal processing. I am refitting a thousand-ton yacht, just put it on armor and install artillery
, it’s a very good steam battleship.”
"Can you give me a specific time?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.
"The assembly of the steam engine has been completed. The sailors and yachts are ready-made. They are nothing more than equipped with armor and artillery. With the sea trial time, you can get the first steam warship in about ten days." Dr. Rezzo promised, "But
Don’t expect too much about the combat effectiveness of the new battleship.”
Just as the 'Aurora Legion' was thinking about how to kill Diego's forces occupying Havana, a victory ceremony was being held at the port of Havana. Guns and gunfire were heard at the scene, and a bunch of Cubans and Mexicans were happily staring at what had just happened.
Several speedboats entering the harbor.
These speedboats are more than 100 tons in size. They appear to be the original armed vessels of the US Coast Guard. They are generally equipped with large-caliber machine guns. Such armed speedboats can easily deal with Zhou Qingfeng's steam transport ships.
A Yankee stood out on the leading speedboat. Looking at the cheerful scene, he said happily: "It seems that we are still very popular. Maybe we can have a good drink after we get ashore."
On the shore, General Dabin took the initiative to greet him, held the Yankee's hand and shouted enthusiastically: "Thank you, Mr. George. The supplies you brought us have greatly improved the morale of our soldiers. Your contribution to the 'Aurora Legion'
The blow also boosted our spirits, we are so grateful to you!"
"This is my job and responsibility, and the opponent is not worth mentioning. We just went up and fired a few shots, and the opponent surrendered." George is an armed speedboat commander from the Enclave. He is not too boastful.
, "According to our understanding, the 'Aurora Legion' does not have specialized warships, and defeating them is like bullying a child, without any sense of achievement.
Believe me, the battle is simpler than a game. In a few days, we will be able to figure out the opponent's strength on the sea, and you can rush into Matanzas from the direction of the sea to capture that Victor Hugo.
