"Havana is not a small city. With more than 300,000 people crowded together, it has a strong resource aggregation effect, but transportation has become a trouble. The existing gasoline production cannot support public transportation, and private vehicles are even more difficult to support.
It was impossible, so I got 20,000 bicycles.
Although these bicycles are very simple, they can increase the range of ordinary people's activities from four to five kilometers to ten to fifteen kilometers in one hour, and they can also carry dozens of kilograms of supplies. This thing may seem inconspicuous, but it greatly improves work
efficiency and expand the scope of activities.
In addition, I got three thousand 750 three-wheelers, which are our official vehicles and transportation vehicles in recent times. Our current material output is too small, and it is not cost-effective to transport a small amount of materials by truck, but it is more efficient to use manpower.
Too low.
Material production is very important, and transportation is also very important. This kind of heavy-duty 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 locomotives of ten steam locomotives that I got. With them, we can make use of Cuba's current railway network, so that we can connect some factories and mines that are far away. This thing only needs to burn coal.
Much better than burning oil.
Finally, I got some vegetable seeds. Among them, there are fifty tons of mung beans. Well... I admit that the quality is not very good and the phenomenon of insect infestation is very serious, but I can always screen out some that can germinate and can barely be used.
.
The above is the total transportation volume of 25,000 tons. Although the quality of these things is very poor and the technology is even more backward, it can solve any problems at least, so I will make do with it for the time being. I can also bring one with me every time I go back and forth.
One hundred tons of supplies should be able to meet our needs."
In the large cargo ship that was transporting supplies, Zhou Qingfeng introduced the huge supplies he had transported in the past few days, while Lena Fox was personally responsible for counting and receiving them, and she also had to find a way to conceal the origin of these supplies.
However, during the reception process, the little fox recorded and said: "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 original training batch of pilots have also begun to perform airspace alerts
Task.
But our troubles are not small. The refinery is using the equipment you brought to renovate and increase production, trying to reach the level of processing 5,000 barrels of crude oil per day. But Cuba is a country short of oil and coal, and our oil production cannot keep up.
Processing capacity.
We used to rely on sea transportation to import crude oil and coal from the outside world, but the Enclave sent a fleet to the Port of Cancun in Mexico two days ago, directly blocking our channel for importing materials from Mexico. Now we can only go to Venezuela
Importing crude oil and coal is time-consuming, labor-intensive and inefficient."
Hearing that the 'Enclave' appeared to cause trouble again, Zhou Qingfeng frowned and said angrily: "Now that everyone's living conditions are so bad, those bastards still want to fight?"
"The weather is too cold, we don't want to fight, and the Enclave doesn't want to fight, but they just want to curb our development. For this reason, they also follow our example in making steam warships and use coal instead of fuel. I think the Enclave is
They want to drag us into an arms race." Lina also shrugged helplessly, saying that this is a common method of competition between hostile forces.
The Port of Cancun is an important port for exporting supplies from Mexico to the Aurora Legion. It is only 500 kilometers away from Havana. This port is blocked, and the Aurora Legion has to travel 2,000 kilometers to Venezuela to purchase coal and crude oil. This is not cost-effective.
.
I have to say that the leaders of the 'Enclave' are quite good at thinking of ways to trick people.
Seeing Zhou Qingfeng scratching his head, Lina smiled and said: "The current situation is that two countries are confronting each other, and naturally all kinds of tricks will be used. We need to talk to the Enclave about the division of power between the two sides."
"The question is, are the Enclave willing to talk to us?" Zhou Qingfeng is also learning how to think about problems from a politician's perspective. In the words of a British guy, it is, 'There are no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, only eternal enemies.
Benefit'.
"We have repeatedly requested talks with the Enclave through other forces, but they insisted that we hand over the USS Kennedy aircraft carrier and a huge amount of equipment and supplies obtained from Florida, and even asked us to hand over the military personnel in the Corps.
A large number of key personnel. It’s strange that I can agree to this idea of asking for high prices.”
Zhou Qingfeng thought about compromising with the 'Enclave', but the 'Enclave' had a posture of surrendering quickly and obediently, which made people angry just looking at him.
But in response to Zhou Qingfeng's complaints, Lina couldn't stop laughing, "Who asked you to plunder Florida, take advantage of it that makes people jealous, and trick the 'Enclave' into a trap? Do you know how hard it is?"
Many of the highly sophisticated talents you have at your disposal are unique in the world."
Hmm..., this is not unreasonable.
Think about how she once ransacked the Cape Calaveral rocket launch site in Florida and wiped out the high-end talents at the Kennedy Space Center. Then think about how Lena once ran to Newport News, the most important shipyard in the United States, and pulled
Zhou Qingfeng also felt a little embarrassed to have taken away a large number of cutting-edge shipbuilding personnel, and also cheated the Enclave with more than a dozen special ships and a large amount of industrial equipment.
I really blame the 'Enclave' for treating the 'Aurora Legion' as a formidable enemy, wishing they could sleep on its skin, drink its blood, crush its bones and scatter its ashes to satisfy its hatred. This is really because Zhou Qingfeng was too ruthless and took too much advantage.
, you have offended others so much. It’s surprising that they can reconcile with you so easily!
"The distribution of resources in several Caribbean countries is seriously uneven. The islands in the east are small and poor, while the areas in the west are large and rich. We must open up trade channels connecting Mexico, because the resources there are too important to us.
We must let the Enclave know that containing us is not worth the gain, and we may have to give them a taste of the sweetness. Even if we cannot get through to their leadership, we must at least let the fleet stationed in Cancun open the smuggling channel."
When it came to 'smuggling', Lina smiled and said: "Our goods are actually very popular in the market. Organizing a smuggling fleet can be easily done. However, how to open the smuggling channel is very troublesome. This matter only requires
It would be better if you, the legion commander, personally promote it."
"No problem, I can personally promote this matter." Zhou Qingfeng felt that his ability to engage in peace building was definitely not as good as Lena Fox, who had the highest management ability, but his ability to deceive people was definitely far ahead of others.
"The 'Enclave' fleet stationed in Cancun sounds like a very troublesome existence." Zhou Qingfeng's mind turned around, and several strange ideas popped up. "Isn't it just smuggling? I'm good at that too."
