Veracruz, an important port city in the Gulf of Mexico, is very close to Mexico City and is currently an important port for the Mexican government to transport goods. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 After deciding to enlist the 'Governor Alfonso' as an ally, Tania immediately began to act vigorously, first of all, to improve her own strength.

Uncle Ike exchanged 50,000 needles of atropine from Zhou Qingfeng, which is the medicine that the 'Enclave' urgently needs. There are now far more people in need of first aid in the last days than in the past, and medicine is basically one shot less. This makes the 'Governor Alfonso' even more valuable as a smuggling channel.

However, despite the anxious urging of the North American headquarters, Tanya took the atropine back and took it to Veracruz, where she was going to sell it privately.

Tania felt that she was moving fast enough, but when she landed at the airport in Veracruz in a light* plane with a few large boxes, she found that the deadly smuggler had already arrived at the port with a large amount of cargo in a small steamer.

Small smugglers often don't have access to their most valuable supplies, but they know what is most scarce in the market right now. For example, igniting fires in the wasteland world is a problem, so Tanya sees hired workers unloading a large number of matches from the port. The matches will be delivered in a rickshaw to a nearby city in Mexico City.

The urban circle around Mexico City is home to 20 to 30 million people living in extreme poverty, making it the most densely populated place in Mexico right now, and the demand for matches is so great that any more can be sold. But Tanya asked curiously, "What do Mexicans use to buy these matches?" ”

"We buy coal from us, you look at the smugglers, they bring in all sorts of goods in small steamers, but they take away coal. Cuba does not produce much coal, and the Aurora Army is desperately short of coal. "The explanation to Tanya is that Garcia, the director of the port authority, is a corrupt bureaucrat with a vicious face.

Tanya sat in Garcia's office, and from the window she could see the busy harbor cranes at work, and the vast crowds of poor Mexicans were selling their labor to carry the ship's cargo like ants.

"Miss Tanya, you can also get enough coal from me, I will give you five hundred tons of coal, and you can keep all the atropine you brought." Garcia smiled, he was in charge of the transportation of supplies in the port of Veracruz, and the ability to eat and take cards belonged to his own skills.

Northern Mexico is rich in coal resources, but it is a problem to transport it out, and Tanya cannot go directly to the production area to get the coal, so she can only come to the port dedicated to diverting supplies to find a source of goods. And in the warehouse of the wharf, there are indeed mountains of coal.

A few hundred tons of coal is a necessary bleaching loss, but Mexican port officials dare to set the drift loss at more than 50 percent and then reap a large profit from it.

"Five hundred tons?" Tanya scoffed, "Mr. Garcia, are you one of those petty smugglers you bully?" I didn't bring matches, I didn't bring soap, I didn't bring household tools, I brought life-saving atropine. This thing is more precious than gold in the market.

I can also bring morphine, penicillin, sulfonamides, heart medicine, skin disease medicine, medicine for all kinds of common ailments. You want to rely on those hundreds of tons of coal in exchange for the medicine in my hands, you are too greedy. ”

Garcia snorted twice and increased the price: "Okay, the medicine is more special, a thousand tons of coal." It doesn't get much more than that. ”

"It looks like I need someone else to talk to me about drug sales." Tania didn't hesitate, grabbed the wide-brimmed white feather hat beside her, lifted her long skirt and turned to walk out.

Garcia was stunned for a moment, then slapped the table with a fierce expression, and scolded with a loud 'bang': "Stinky *****, you'd better sit down for me, I let you into my office, not to let you tease me." ”

Two Mexican gunmen immediately stood out at the door of the office, blocking Tanya's path with straight faces. But the woman didn't turn around, she just tilted her head slightly and said contemptuously: "Garcia, don't forget your identity." You're just a dirty Mexican bureaucrat who can replace you with a pig any earlier. ”

"You're ......!" Garcia was furious, but he couldn't vent his anger, because he really didn't dare to touch the people of the Enclave. Because 'Enclave' is absolutely murderous when it comes to protecting shorts. He could only endure the anger and asked in a low voice, "Miss Tanya, how much coal do you want?" ”

"I want a thousand tons of ......." Tanya said a number first, which made Garcia's heart happy, but she added, "...... Diesel fuel. ”

A thousand tons of diesel? Why don't you grab it!

Garcia slapped the table angrily again, "Miss Tanya, do you know how tight diesel is right now?" The atropine in your hand will definitely not be exchanged for a thousand tons of diesel, and you will not be able to exchange it for a hundred tons. ”

"Really? I'd love to wait and see. There are many people who have diesel, but few people who have medicine. Tanya put on her hat, didn't give Garcia more to speak, and walked out of the port authority's office lightly.

Finding a temporary hotel, Tanya began to silently calculate the possibility of her operation succeeding. Veracruz, Mexico's oil-producing region, has also suffered damage to its refineries, but it has more capacity than the almost rebuilt Havana refinery, and there should be no shortage of fuel. After all, the rest of Mexico is supplied with oil here.

And in terms of the level of corruption of Mexican officials, they absolutely dare to be ruthless for the sake of profit, after all, diesel can still be refined from oil, and atropine is really nowhere to be found. Tanya decides to meet a few more powerful people in Veracruz and maybe get more.

While staying at the hotel, Tania once again felt that all sorts of goods from Havana were beginning to invade the entire Caribbean periphery. The plates, plates, and even forks used in the high-end hotel where she stayed were marked 'Made in Aurora'.

"You even have to import metal saucers here?" Tanya asked the waiter in surprise as she ate.

The waiter at the hotel was very calm, "The society was chaotic before, a lot of things were damaged, and ordinary daily necessities became extremely scarce. Although it can also produce plates and saucers locally, it is not as good as Havana's production. ”

How well is it produced in Havana?

Tanya couldn't help but think of a rumor she had heard before, before the nuclear bomb destroyed the world, the 'Aurora Legion' had deceived a large number of industrial manufacturing equipment from the Nymphox Shipyard controlled by the 'Enclave', presumably these industrial equipment were creating a lot of wealth for the 'Aurora Army'.

"Imported stuff should be more expensive, right? Will locals be more economical and use locally produced bargains? Tanya asked again.

"No, imported ones are cheap." The service staff denied, "And now imported goods are sold together." For example, we can't produce toilet paper yet, but the demand for paper is rigid, and those smugglers insist that we buy toilet paper as well as other things. The price was cheaper anyway, so we bought it. ”

...... forcibly dumping, the word popped up in Tanya's mind. She couldn't help but be a little frightened, why did Governor Alfonso, who used to think about waste, suddenly become so powerful? As long as this continues to develop, the recovery speed of the 'Aurora Legion' will be faster than imagined! (To be continued.) )
