More than 20 people including Rachel's team, including staff members, personal servants, and armed guards. She didn't say hello in advance to Havana this time, but she shouldered a certain mission of investigation and understanding, hoping to see a real 'Aurora Corps'.
Despite some disputes over registration and disarmament, the entire mission complied with local regulations under Rachel's order. Under the guidance of the port guide, these twenty people first reached a taxi to check in to a hotel.
Cuba's economy has always been underdeveloped, the construction of the urban area is quite old, and the public facilities here were quite average before the cataclysm. However, Rachel found that the public facilities on the way from the port to the hotel were better than the current North America.
"Last month, the Home Office opened a group of electric taxis and buses from the United States, all of which are state-of-the-art vehicles. There are already more than fifty bus routes in the city, which has greatly improved our lives. "
An efficient public transport system has greatly expanded the scope of people's activities, improved the utilization rate of the urban area, and deepened the control of the army's population in the urban area. The old guide hired was very proud of this, and was full of pride in his words.
Xi Leichel really had to be envious of this. The Brotherhood of Steel has more powerful military forces and more vehicles, but the investment in people's livelihood is still poor.
The power grid has not been restored, and gasoline is completely rationed. It is difficult for people living in North America to leave their homes and go far away. It is almost impossible to find work and food.
"People here live better than us." As the taxi passed a street corner, a member of the same car as Rachel sighed. There is actually a supermarket on that street corner, and the gate of the market is actually selling roast chicken.
Yes, roast chicken!
The smell of the fragrant spray fluttered across the block and it was mouth watering. For those who have been eating military food for several months, they can't help drooling when they smell the smell.
The Brotherhood of Iron and Steel also wants to redevelop the breeding industry, but the severe winter cold can suddenly drop to minus 20-30 degrees, let alone animals and plants. People without the slightest precaution will be frozen to death.
Even if a chicken breed survives, people who are going to starve to death will eat it completely. As a result, the temperature has risen, but if you want to develop the breeding industry, you can't find a living chicken.
Stop talking about chickens, there are too many extinct animals and plants. Chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, and other poultry and animals, wild birds, insects, can't see anything. It can be said that, except for some human beings with strong self-protection ability, wild creatures have no way to resist the sudden nuclear winter.
This could not help reminding Rachel of the warning sent by Zhou Qingfeng before the nuclear bomb struck. It was because of this warning that David Lawrence, who was still in the city, escaped the nuclear bomb cleansing with a large number of people. It also gave him great authority and support in the nuclear winter.
Compared with the "Aurora Corps", which had been preparing for the nuclear winter one month in advance, the Brotherhood of Steel was much more embarrassed. The former not only lived well, they actually had chicken.
There are not only chicken and eggs, but also a lot of fast-growing vegetables in the supermarket, pigs and fish, and a variety of goods that are almost extinct elsewhere.
的 The members who got off the bus temporarily wanted to swear. They originally felt that, as far as North America is concerned, the Brotherhood of Steel and ‘Inkley’ are the only players who can play table games, and other forces are not qualified to speak.
Ke's situation is too unpleasant. The Aurora Army has a better life than anyone else.
The old guide also told Rachel and others that the Corps had carried out extensive production self-rescue work and that there were large greenhouses in the suburbs. Coal from Mexico keeps the temperature, lighting is provided by a variety of inefficient but extremely practical power generation equipment, and the production of vegetables and meat is increasing every day.
"Last month, the market began to provide tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage and other vegetables in large quantities. Originally, these foods were only provided for internal members of the Legionnaires. Now ordinary people can also buy them, which is a bit expensive."
The old guide also asked, "Can you eat these things in the north?"
Rachel was silent for a few seconds, and said, "It can be eaten."
"Can it be supplied in large quantities?" Asked the old guide.
Now Rachel didn't want to talk nonsense, and only shook her head slightly: "It can only be provided to a very small number of people."
"Ah ..., then you must be a very rare few. I saw the luxury yacht you were riding on, presumably your status must be extraordinary. If you wish to establish diplomatic and trade links with our army, you can settle in Go down to the Capitol. "The old guide smiled.
"I will." Rachel nodded again, her thoughts fluttering and diverging. It ’s better to see all the news. You ca n’t get news about the
Aurora Corps
from various radio stations and radios, but it ’s better to feel it for yourself.
After the taxi arrived at the hotel, the mission of more than twenty people was easily settled. Comfortable beds, delicious meals, and warm water are nothing to Rachel's already high, but think of it as a hotel, the meaning behind it is completely different.
Hotel offers the most exclusive service to Rachel in the VIP suite, everything is very appropriate. They even sent the newspapers of the day to keep passengers up to date with the latest information in the world.
"My God! Victor even runs a newspaper. Where did the news come from?" Rachel found that the thin four-page newspaper really listed the world's major events.
The front page headline was actually the ongoing military friction between the Brotherhood of Steel and the 'Increte', and there were even some public speeches and commentator articles from leaders of both sides of the conflict. These things Rachel rarely pays much attention to, or is hard to know.
In addition to what can be called international news, the newspaper also details the current internal news of the Aurora Corps, which contains a lot of commercial information on the Caribbean and South America. This is the first time in recent months that the Brotherhood of Iron and Steel in North America has learned about South America ~ EbookFREE.me ~ This kid cares about so many things! For Rachel, who has been stuck in New York State, a simple newspaper immediately opened her eyes. She immediately asked her staff members: "Why didn't we collect these newspapers before?" Has anyone ever cared about this public information? "
For the past few months, it hasn't been that no one has fled between Havana and New York, including a small number of intelligence personnel sent by the Brotherhood of Steel. But it wasn't until Rachel did a personal trip that she realized that her own understanding of the world was too narrow.
However, all the members who came to Havana looked at each other, and no one could answer this question.
"Forget it, don't blame you. No one in the whole brotherhood cares about this distant place, let alone people and things here." Rachel sighed and walked to the balcony of the room. The sky and the bright sun fell on her face, and she could already feel the warmth, but she was not so comfortable in her heart.
Looking at the bustling crowd in the city, feeling the vitality emanating from the city, combined with the seemingly simple but not simple newspaper, Rachel can feel the deep meaning projected behind this.
Victor. Hugo could have stayed quietly in Cuba as a warlord. However, he has worked hard to do so many things, he has established power, he has improved people's livelihood, and now his eyes are not only on this small Cuba, but the entire America. This can no longer be described by ambition.
This is a man with the world in mind! (To be continued.)
