Veracruz, an important port city on the Gulf of Mexico, is very close to Mexico City and is an important material transportation port for the current Mexican government. After Dania decided to win over Governor Alfonso as an ally, she immediately started taking action vigorously and resolutely
, we must first improve our own strength.
Uncle Ike exchanged 50,000 shots of atropine from Zhou Qingfeng, which is a drug that the 'Enclave' urgently needs. Nowadays, there are many more people in need of first aid in the last days than in the past, but the medicine is basically one shot less.
.This makes the smuggling channel of 'Governor Alfonso' even more precious.
However, Dania didn't care how anxiously the North American headquarters urged to transport this batch of atropine back. She secretly withheld the batch of drugs and took them to Veracruz, where she wanted to sell the batch of drugs privately.
Dania felt that she had acted fast enough, but when she landed at the airport in Veracruz on a light aircraft with several large boxes, she found that the desperate smuggler had already driven a small steamer, carrying
A large amount of goods arrived at the port here.
Small smugglers often cannot get the most precious supplies, but they know what is in short supply in the market now. For example, it is a problem to light a fire in the wasteland, so Dania saw hired workers unloading a large number of matches from the port. These matches will be
Deliver to cities near Mexico City by human powered cart.
The urban circle around Mexico City has a population of 20 to 30 million people living in extreme poverty. It is the most densely populated place in Mexico now. The demand for matches is very high, and no matter how much they have, they can be sold. But Dania asked strangely: "
What do Mexicans use to buy these matches?”
"We use coal to buy it. Look at those smugglers. They drive small steamers to transport all kinds of goods, but all they transport is coal. Cuba does not produce much coal, and the 'Aurora Legion' is extremely short of fuel and coal.
." The person who explained to Dania was Garcia, the director of the port authority, a ferocious-looking bureaucrat.
Dania was sitting in Garcia's office. From the window, she could see the busy port cranes at work, and a large number of poor Mexicans selling their labor to move the cargo on the ship like ants.
"Miss Dania, you can also get enough coal from me. I will give you five hundred tons of coal. Just keep all the atropine you brought." Garcia laughed, he was in charge of Verak.
Russ's port material transportation and the ability to take cards are self-bred skills.
There are abundant coal resources in northern Mexico, but transporting them out is troublesome. Dania cannot go directly to the production area to obtain coal. She can only come to the port that specializes in distributing materials to find sources of goods. And in the warehouse at the dock, there is indeed a pile of coal.
Mountains of coal.
The loss of tens of thousands of tons of coal to a few hundred tons is completely necessary due to drift loss, but Mexican port officials dared to set the drift loss to more than 50% and then make huge profits from it.
"Five hundred tons?" Dania sneered, "Mr. Garcia, do you think I'm one of those little smugglers you bullied? What I brought was not matches, soap, or daily tools. I brought
Life-saving atropine. This thing is more precious than gold on the market.
In the future, I can also bring morphine, penicillin, sulfonamides, heart disease drugs, dermatology drugs, and drugs to treat various common ailments. Do you want to rely on hundreds of tons of coal to exchange for the drugs in my hand?
You are too greedy."
Garcia hummed and increased the price: "Okay, the medicine is quite special, a thousand tons of coal. There is nothing more than this."
"It seems that I need someone else to talk to me about the issue of drug sales." Dania did not hesitate, grabbed the wide-brimmed white feather hat beside her, lifted up her long skirt and turned around to walk out.
Garcia was stunned for a moment, then slapped the table with a fierce look, and cursed with a loud bang: "You ****, you'd better sit down for me, I didn't let you enter my office for the sake of
Let you play with me."
Two Mexican gunmen immediately stood out at the door of the office, blocking Dania's way of leaving with a straight face. But the woman did not turn around, she just tilted her head slightly and said contemptuously: "Garcia, don't forget your identity. You are just a human being.
Dirty Mexican bureaucrat, any pig could replace you."
"You...!" Garcia was furious, but he couldn't vent his anger because he really didn't dare to touch the people of the Enclave. Because the Enclave was absolutely ruthless in protecting its shortcomings. He
I could only endure my anger and asked in a lowered voice: "Miss Dania, how much coal do you want?"
"I want one thousand tons..." Dania first said a number, which made Garcia feel happy, but she added, "...diesel."
One thousand tons of diesel? Why don’t you go and grab it!
Garcia slammed the table angrily again, "Miss Dania, do you know how nervous we are about diesel now? The atropine in your hand will never be able to replace a thousand tons of diesel, not even a hundred tons."
"Really? I'm willing to wait and see. There are many people who have diesel, but there are very few who have medicine." Dania put on her hat and walked out of the port lightly without giving Garcia any more opportunities to speak.
Office of the Director of the Authority.
After finding a temporary hotel, Dania began to silently calculate the possibility of the success of her operation. Veracruz is an oil producing area in Mexico. Although the refinery here has also suffered damage, its production capacity is higher than that of the Havana refinery, which was almost rebuilt.
There should be no shortage of various fuels here. After all, the fuel supplies for other parts of Mexico are provided here.
As for the level of corruption among Mexican officials, they definitely dare to be ruthless for profit. After all, diesel can be refined from petroleum, but atropine is really nowhere to be found. Dania decided to see more Veracru
Sri Lanka's powerful figures may be able to get more.
While staying in the hotel, Dania once again felt that various goods from Havana began to invade the entire Caribbean area. The plates, plates and even forks used in the high-end hotel she stayed in all bore the mark of 'Made in Aurora'.
"You even import metal plates here?" Dania asked the waiter in surprise during the meal.
The waiter at the hotel was very calm, "The society was in chaos before, and many things were damaged, and ordinary daily necessities became extremely scarce. Although plates and dishes can be produced locally, they are not as good as those produced in Havana."
Havana produces good food?
Dania couldn't help but think of a rumor she had heard before. Before the nuclear bomb destroyed the world, the 'Aurora Legion' had defrauded a large number of industrial manufacturing equipment from the Newport News Shipyard controlled by the 'Enclave'. Presumably these industrial equipment were providing
Let the 'Aurora Legion' create a lot of wealth.
"Isn't the imported stuff more expensive? Will the locals be more frugal and use locally produced cheap goods?" Dania asked again.
"No, imported ones are cheaper." The service staff denied, "And now imported goods are sold in bundles. For example, we can't produce toilet paper yet, but the demand for paper is rigid, and the smugglers force us to buy it.
Along with toilet paper, we also had to buy other things. Anyway, the price was cheaper, so we bought it.”
Forced dumping..., this word came to Dania's mind. She couldn't help but feel a little frightened. Why did Governor Alfonso, who looked like a waste in the past, suddenly become so powerful? As long as this continues, the recovery of the 'Aurora Legion'
