Chapter 759: Old Man Three
After arriving in Havana, Rachel was not busy looking for Zhou Qingfeng. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The real 'Aurora Legion' is completely different from what she imagined, and she wants to explore its inner strength more deeply, otherwise the subsequent negotiations will be full of mistakes and omissions.
After realizing that Zhou Qingfeng's rule in Cuba was quite solid, Rachel wanted to observe more. The first thing she could feel was the large number of police officers on the streets.
"If you have really good law and order here, why do you need so many police?" In Rachel's opinion, Havana's police presence is excessive. Looking down from the hotel where she lives, there are three groups of patrol officers in just two or three hundred meters of the street.
"Oh, that's not the police, that's the patrol." The hired veteran guide explained, "The duty of the patrol is relatively simple, which is to maintain law and order on the streets, and do not deal with cases and disputes.
Hundreds or thousands of immigrants enter Havana every day, but not everyone is as noble and elegant as you, and not everyone wants to live a stable life.
Many people have sharpened their temperament in other places, and there will be fights and deaths at every turn. In order to control this situation, there are a particularly large number of patrols on the streets. ”
As he spoke, a woman's scream could be heard in an alley near the hotel. Soon a panicked man ran out of the alley, followed by a screaming woman.
Rachel looked curiously at this scene, and the old guide sneered disdainfully: "There are many rich people near this hotel, and there are always some people who want to come here to make a fortune." But that kid couldn't run a hundred meters. ”
Sure enough, after the woman's scream sounded, the patrol guards guarding the street immediately reacted. The two groups of personnel chased after each other and easily captured the criminals. Soon a police patrol drone flew over and made sure the scene was under control before leaving.
"What happens to the people who are caught?" Rachel asked.
"Shoot directly and execute on the spot." There was a sense of indifference in the old guide's mouth, "Captain Hugo attaches great importance to social order and has zero tolerance for any disruptors. We also don't want our cities to be bogged down in war and strife, so we firmly support this high-pressure situation. ”
The captured criminals were left on the side of the road, still chattering and cursing. But soon a three-wheeled motorcycle drove up, and a police officer wearing a full police rank actually shot the robbery offender on the spot after confirming the identity of the culprit.
The old guide also made an epilogue about this, "These are all smuggled from other places, who refuse to work hard, and only want to make a living by crime, and it is best to kill." ”
After the death of the criminal, the body was dragged away by a tricycle. The waitress came out to clean the floor, and everyone seemed to be used to it. Rachel was both surprised by the ruthlessness of the execution, and also lamented the efficiency of the case, thinking that this could probably be called 'the use of heavy codes in troubled times'.
"Can I go out on the streets?" Rachel asked.
"Of course, guests like you are free to visit as many times as you like, even if you want to see the barracks."
"Can you really see the barracks?"
"Of course, the Legion doesn't mind showing its armed forces to the outside world."
Rachel was genuinely interested in the military might of the Aurora Legion, and after settling into the hotel, she took a taxi to a military camp on the outskirts of the city under the guidance of her old guide. And she realized that she wasn't the only one who came here to watch, in fact it was a view of Havana.
Many outsiders would visit the barracks, including spies from various other local warlords. According to the identification of the accompanying subordinates, this open barracks is a boot training camp, and there are about five or six hundred people on the playground receiving basic training.
Outside the training grounds, there was a publicly erected conscription signboard that allowed healthy men and women between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five to apply to join the corps. And under the conscription sign, there is a long queue of conscripts, both men and women.
"There are generally only two ways for outsiders to enter the legion's territory, either to join the factory or to enter the army. The military is better treated, but the requirements are stricter and more dangerous. The old guide said.
Rachel took a closer look and saw that the soldiers were of all races, black and white, and even some Asian. She asked the officers in her entourage, "How is the training of these soldiers?" ”
"It's going to take a while." The accompanying officer did not give an immediate reply, but after watching it for a whole afternoon, he said: "The amount of training is very large, the quality of the instructors is relatively high, I do not see obvious discrimination, and the treatment of different soldiers is the same, but the basic quality of the soldiers is not very good." ”
The accompanying officers' words were really sharp enough, and they almost hit the nail on the head to describe the characteristics and shortcomings of the current military strength of the 'Aurora Legion'. Zhou Qingfeng did everything possible to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, and even did not limit the identity and origin of the soldiers, but the problem of poor quality of soldiers was basically unsolved.
"How do you compare it to our army?" Rachel asked again.
"There is a big gap in the combat effectiveness of our various armies, and the descendants directly under the leaders are naturally elite, but there are also a large number of miscellaneous troops with ordinary establishments. In terms of the current team of recruits who have undergone initial training, they are certainly not as good as our elite, but they are much better than ordinary miscellaneous players.
But I suspect that such a display force may have been carefully chosen, after all, the world is now short of materials, and it is too expensive to raise an army, and the need for food alone can be too much for many organizations to bear.
The total population currently controlled by the 'Aurora Legion' is about 500,000, and it would be good if there were 5,000 such troops, otherwise this organization would basically commit suicide. ”
The food crisis in the last days has not been eliminated, but has intensified over time. Nowadays, any organization is very cautious about expanding its strength, otherwise it will not be mixed up if it accidentally exhausts its precious resources, and it is a matter of a blink of an eye.
There are not many places like the 'Aurora Army' that can develop quietly, in fact, even the North American continent is not stable, as if returning to the chaotic cowboy era of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
Thinking about the current intricate relationship within the Iron Brotherhood, Rachel also has a headache, and all kinds of internal friction make it difficult for the Brotherhood's strong strength to play at all. David. Lawrence was a bit of a lonely struggling and desperate for a strong boost.
It was in order to obtain this help that Rachel traveled thousands of nautical miles to Havana, hoping to negotiate a series of cooperation with the 'Aurora Army'. But now it seems that the Victor she knew. Hugo is no longer the boy next door he used to be.
Fate seems to have returned to the beginning, and everything depends on Victor. Hugo's choice. (To be continued.) )
