"Raising one mutant is almost equivalent to raising ten ordinary people. Fifty thousand tons of food is enough to feed half a million of us for two to three months."
"Mutants have strong individual combat capabilities, but there is something wrong with their brains. Small unit operations are okay, but once the scale of the battle reaches the company level, it will be a disaster for the commander."
"If a large number of mutants are admitted, I think it will have a great impact on our current social system. Those big guys can only fight or do some hard work, and can't do anything else."
Butcher, Katarina, Lena and others all expressed doubts about continuing to control more than 30,000 mutant humans. In fact, the liaison team stationed in Washington has been complaining that it is quite difficult to communicate with mutants.
Listening to his companion's complaints, Zhou Qingfeng asked, "How is the raiding work in Washington going?"
"It has only been carried out for less than half a month. Even if it is only the most basic cleaning, it will still take half a month." Lina was very clear about the progress of searching Washington. "But the harvest is not small, just all kinds of data from various government agencies."
Archives and super hosts are priceless."
"Then what can we exchange for these more than 30,000 mutated humans?" Zhou Qingfeng asked again.
"The first is population, especially skilled workers. The quality of the population in the Caribbean is really poor. The local population in Cuba is pretty good, but the foreign population in other places really don't know anything. The most terrible thing is that they are lazy.
We can’t even train them.”
Lina is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and often has to go to the grassroots of society to investigate. Many situations make people angry. Now that life is getting a little better, many Latin Americans feel that the disaster is over.
Life in Latin American countries before the catastrophe was not easy. The people here were already poor, but now they have legions to take care of them, but they feel that their lives are much better than before. And then..., the laziness in their bones unconsciously emerged.
.
"Although we implement a very harsh and high-pressure policy, some indigenous workers now just don't work hard or are passive in their work. There are a lot of these people, and this situation spreads very fast like an infectious disease, and even some managers
are also affected.
Many people even think that as long as they pay lip service to the legion commander, the legion will take care of them for the rest of their lives." Lina was even filled with resentment when she said this.
Workers who are hard-working, willing to work hard, and disciplined and organized cannot be acquired without decades of training. This even reflects social culture. Not people everywhere are as restless as the Chinese.
Even though the legion currently controls a population of 500,000, the number of people who can use it like arms and fingers is only about 50,000, of which 15,000 are compatriots rescued by Zhou Qingfeng.
"We don't necessarily need a highly educated population. We also need a large number of ordinary people who have received basic education. But a large number of Hispanics in the Corps cannot even meet this minimum standard.
About half of the population controlled by the Legion is now an inefficient waste. Latin American countries have always been in bad shape, and there is a reason for this."
Probably because she was upset by the population issue, Lina talked a lot in one breath. Zhou Qingfeng also agreed to ask the Brotherhood of Steel for a group of high-quality people, but only God knows whether they will provide them.
As for the large amount of waste now...
"We feel that we should classify the personnel in the territory. Different people have different statuses and benefits, which are determined through examinations and work performance." Zhou Qingfeng also feels that the people under him should be encouraged and plan a plan as soon as possible.
Reasonable ascending channel.
To this point, Lena Fox, on behalf of the Ministry of the Interior, nodded in agreement.
"In addition to personnel, what else should we need?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.
"We are still in urgent need of a large amount of gasoline and diesel. The production capacity of the Havana refinery has reached its limit, but I guess the Brotherhood of Steel itself is short of it."
"The police and the military want drones, a lot of drones, even civilian ones. Although we have lost the satellite navigation system, remote-controlled drones can still greatly expand the combat effectiveness of violent police agencies. But this thing
It’s also lacking everywhere.”
"To be honest, our communications continue to be insecure, and relying on radio is not convenient at all. We need a complete communications solution that covers the entire city. But I think the whole world is now troubled by communications issues."
"As for food, I wonder if the Brotherhood of Steel is in short supply? If possible, we need 100,000 tons of food, which can greatly alleviate our current food shortage. But transporting this much food is not an easy task."
"Gold, David Lawrence must not be short of gold. I want a hundred tons of gold and two thousand tons of silver. Our currency issuance is going very smoothly. Our currency is used throughout the Caribbean and South America, but the mint is short of raw materials.
.”
"We are not short of weapons. But we are extremely short of qualified officers and non-commissioned officers. Chief of Staff Jackson of the Legion has complained many times that without qualified officers, the army cannot fight at all. But the Brotherhood of Steel will not easily
Send your own officers to us."
Cuba is an island country with quite backward infrastructure. It lacks both this and that. Compared with developed North America, the gap is huge. Some things Zhou Qingfeng can get from the real world, and some are restricted.
Not coming.
The result was that Zhou Qingfeng and others had a discussion and listed a lot of things they were in urgent need of. It was completely like a lion opening its mouth, and they really treated David Lawrence as a fat sheep. Rachel received it the next day.
When Zhou Qingfeng submitted the exchange list, he immediately laughed out loud.
"Victor Hugo, who do you think we are?" the wife asked again seriously.
Kaizi is being slaughtered!
Zhou Qingfeng looked at the long list of demands listed by himself and others, and felt embarrassed to touch his nose, "This is what we need, but considering your affordability, we also provide some goods for normal transactions.
.”
The items that the 'Aurora Legion' can trade externally are very special. The first thing that catches the eye is medicine. A large number of reserve medicines were obtained from the PLA. Some of them were to be destroyed, but Zhou Qingfeng obtained them at a very cheap price.
Rachel was very interested in medicines, but she was also very interested in another commodity - the Y-5 aircraft. Zhou Qingfeng felt that he could strengthen his trade with the Brotherhood of Steel by reselling this light transport aircraft.
There are many amateur pilots in the United States, and they also have many civilian aircraft, but there is no market for light transport aircraft because they are simply not needed. But now that large passenger and cargo aircraft can hardly fly, the small Y-5 has become very advantageous.
Even Rachel felt that a light aircraft like the Y-5 was very suitable for the current environment of the wasteland. In the end, she said that she would submit the list given by Zhou Qingfeng to David Lawrence, and the two sides would inevitably argue over it.
It's definitely not possible to get this deal done in a short period of time.
And Zhou Qingfeng is also preparing to rectify the legion, "Lina, you mentioned before that the situation of negativity and slackness in the legion is very serious. It is definitely not ordinary to make you so angry but unable to deal with it. Who is taking the lead in destroying what I founded?
Legion?”
Lina took a deep breath and breathed out a name, "Phaedrus."
"Mirta's husband, Federo, the commander of the Cuban brigade?"
