Walker, who has joined the 'Aurora Legion', is leading the Butcher and others who flew from Havana to visit the refinery. Canada has rich oil and natural gas resources and a solid refining industry foundation. There are a total of twelve sets of catalytic refining equipment in Canada.
Quebec City has one.
Although the weather is still cold, the oil refinery that has been shut down for a year has become bustling again. A large number of workers are busy working in the complex pipelines. The 20,000 tons of crude oil shipped not long ago will soon be turned into various refined products.
"Workers can have stable jobs if they have a living security. They are happy to see this plant operating again. But we also have some troubles." As the leader, Walker first talked about the current situation of the refinery. Soon he said
Whisper two difficult points.
"One is that the workers are reluctant to leave and don't want us to dismantle the refinery. They want us to increase investment, continue to transport crude oil, and promise to repay us.
These workers are really working very hard. In order not to affect their work enthusiasm, I did not tell them that the refinery will be dismantled later. However, I personally think that it is not easy to dismantle this large refinery.
It's just too complicated.
In addition to worker issues, there is also the issue of refining production. Refineries need a variety of catalysts, such as reforming catalysts and FCC catalysts. There is probably more than a hundred tons of inventory in the factory, but it won't be used for long."
"Catalyst? Is a catalyst necessary for oil refining?" The butcher didn't understand much. He could only ask: "Where did the catalyst come from in the past?"
Dr. Rezzo, who was following the butcher, knew more and took the initiative to explain: "The catalytic cracking of crude oil is a chemical reaction process, which requires the help of many catalysts to proceed.
In the past, Canada's refining industry imported catalysts from China, but that is definitely not possible now. We are trying to find ways to get some catalysts from other places. Judging from the current inventory in Canada, it will not last long.
I have reported this issue to the Ministry of the Interior in Havana, but the refinery in Havana is also suffering from a shortage of raw materials such as catalysts and has been unable to expand its production capacity, let alone help us."
"Then what should we do? Where can we buy it? For example, New York." The butcher asked, "Our relationship with David Lawrence has finally returned to normal."
"Maybe we can try this idea, but we need the legion commander to come forward and talk about it. We definitely have no choice." Dr. Rezzo nodded, "Although the Beiwei Refinery was killed by us, maybe they can leave some reserve supplies.
What."
The group of people was worrying about the refinery when Minsk suddenly appeared in a car. As the most silent one among the five giants of the legion, he waved to the butcher. After the two approached, he said in a hoarse voice
: "One piece of good news and one piece of bad news. Which one should you listen to first?"
"There has been bad news all day long. Now I want to hear the good news first," said the butcher.
"The good news is that the factory we acquired in New York is already operating normally. Although the output is not large, the products are good. According to Lina's allocation, half of the products will be allocated to us. This includes various daily necessities. These things can
It will be convenient for us to gather more useful people.”
Compared with the unrestricted foreign population in the past, the current 'Aurora Legion' only needs the industrial population and scientific and technological personnel that are currently or in urgent need in the future. The millions of people in Quebec can only take away one-tenth of the population, and the rest is only
Able to fend for itself.
Minsk continued: "In order to transport these material quotas, we mobilized fifty Y-5 aircraft and established direct routes from New York to Quebec City and Montreal. The first batch of materials has been dropped in Montreal.
I just came back from Montreal, where people relied on past grain reserves and food collected in the wild to survive the entire nuclear winter. They would still be hungry for a while, but they had run out of daily necessities necessary for life.
French-speaking people here generally have high requirements for the quality of life. We said before that immigrants only have enough food to eat, but it doesn't have much appeal to them. But this time, with good medical services and daily necessities, it will be much better.
Have you not seen the madness of those housewives who would go hungry just for a bottle of perfume? We provided the first batch of 5,000 boxes of mineral foundation, and more than a thousand women were willing to follow us. Sometimes I really can’t understand what women want to pursue
Beautiful madness.
Due to the extremely huge demand for these daily necessities, we have now recruited more than 2,000 people in just one day of open recruitment. It seems that we have finally found a way to impress these Canadians."
"That sounds good." The butcher continued. "It's good news that there are more supplies. What's the bad news?"
"The bad news comes from Toronto, where there is a regional government formed voluntarily by local residents. They have been running stably for a year, and their sphere of influence has expanded to Ottawa, close to Montreal. This organization called the 'Toronto Autonomous Council' is very important to us.
Hostile."
Minsk sneered a few times when he said this, "Those are a group of guys who don't know how to live or die, but they have a lot of energy and have gathered thousands of militiamen. It seems that they want to fight us and drive us away with arms."
mean."
"Thousands of people are armed." The butcher had a headache. "We only have more than a thousand technical and management personnel here. It will definitely be impossible to resist such a hostile armed force. But such a local organization still has
Are you going to give us the energy to cause trouble?"
"Who knows, I suspect David Lawrence is supporting them behind the scenes. After all, this place is less than a thousand kilometers away from New York, so it is very convenient to control.
That arrogant man will definitely not let us achieve our goal so easily. I even suspect that the reason why Montreal residents are still alive and well is because of external support."
When Minsk said this, he muttered viciously, "If Toronto wasn't too far away from the coast, I would definitely ask Victor to send the aircraft carrier over and bomb them again."
The butcher laughed as he listened, "Don't count on the aircraft carrier. The Kennedy is not in good condition. The lubricating oil on the warship is almost out of reserve. It will not be easy to get it to dispatch again."
"Then what should we do? It's impossible to send troops thousands of kilometers away. We don't have such strong strength. Is it really possible to wait for this militia to come over and then we escape in panic?" Faced with this problem, the hand in hand
Minsk without troops is helpless.
The butcher was also at a loss to solve this problem. The two people with sad faces could only hand over the problem and let Zhou Qingfeng think of a solution. Zhou Qingfeng in Havana responded quickly and asked over the radio, "Check the Dalai Lama in the east of Toronto."
