"Victor, I've arrived in Newport News. It is an industrial city, and its inhabitants are mostly workers and middle class. Although there is no government to run it, the people here quickly adapted to life after the disaster, much better than the hodgepodge of New York's cosmopolitan city.

When the people here heard that the Kennedy was stranded near Guantanamo, Cuba, they were very eager and willing to help get the giant ship back. Of course, it's not a small problem. I am waiting for the arrival of the Bird of Paradise and believe that the large number of supplies will allow more people to join us.

Let me remind you that an aircraft carrier will never travel on a single ship, and the USS Kennedy has a large aircraft carrier formation. Now that you've found the JFK, then others can also find other ships in the formation, which should all be in the Caribbean Sea. ”

On the night of Zhou Qingfeng's arrival on the Kennedy, Lina . . . Fox sent a video greeting from Newport News. Although listening to her say it is simple, looking at her messy hair and forced a happy smile, I also know that it is not all smooth sailing.

After all, in this apocalyptic world, if you say that there is a ship thousands of miles away that needs help, someone will follow you? God doesn't have the power to do that. However, at the end of the video, the butcher shows half of his ugly face, and his rough head is wrapped in gauze, and it seems that they have experienced some trouble.

"Lena, everything is fine on my side too." Zhou Qingfeng stayed in the captain's room of the 'Kennedy' to record the video. It was the most spacious accommodation on board, and everywhere else there were simple sleeper beds like trains, and even officers had more thick mats than soldiers.

"The Kennedy is in our hands for the time being, and I'm trying to find a way to get the more than 3,000 people who escaped from Guantanamo onboard. Everyone's mood is fairly stable, and the follow-up work is proceeding as planned.

All of our small planes are on continuous missions, and the management team you have assembled is very useful, half of them will be flying from Big Abaco Island to the aircraft carrier in small planes, helping me manage the more than 3,000 people here. At the same time, the small aircraft also carried away some personnel who were not suitable to remain on the aircraft carrier, such as some wounded and the elderly.

However, our capacity and fuel are limited, and there are still a small number of people who can be transported by plane, and most of them still need to leave by sea by boat. Given that the waters around Cuba are already controlled by various Caribbean warlords and pirates, this transport mission needs to be carefully planned.

I hope you protect yourself. Remember, success or not, you must leave Newport News after twelve days. ”

After recording the video, Zhou Qingfeng sent it via satellite. Raymond, who was his deputy, knocked on the door and came in and said, "Mr. Hugo, the personnel count is complete. We found a few experienced sailors, but no one here could operate an aircraft carrier.

Miss Raven is collecting veterans and various shipbuilders who have served on aircraft carriers in Miami, and she has made a deal with the Cubans who control Miami to transport personnel directly from Miami International Airport. While this is efficient, our fuel reserves are quickly depleted. ”

Raymond is the actuary who is good at making false accounts, and he has a great talent for management, and Lena deliberately left him to assist Zhou Qingfeng. After Zhou Qingfeng took control of the aircraft carrier, he immediately ordered Caterina to use a small plane to airlift him and more than a dozen management personnel. Without them, Zhou Qingfeng was annoyed to death by more than 3,000 people eating, drinking, and Lazar.

"Fuel, fuel, fuel." It's already November, and it's going to be winter. People in the entire northern hemisphere are short of fuel, and Zhou Qingfeng also has a headache and asked. "Why isn't that pirate leader Santos short of fuel?"

"According to the analysis of some of the radio links we have intercepted, there are already thousands of armed groups throughout the Caribbean, nearly 100 in Cuba alone. After three months of consolidation, these groups gradually divided their territory into loose alliances.

Santos belongs to a group called the National Liberation Front of Cuba, which controls an oil refinery in Havana and several oil ******** off the coast. According to our understanding, this organization is living very well by selling fuel to the outside world, and it is the most powerful of all the groups in Cuba.

And a warlord named Federo occupies the U.S. military base in Guantanamo, near us, and he belongs to a group called the Santiago Military Alliance. The organization seems to want to separate southern Cuba. ”

Havana is hundreds of kilometers from the Guantanamo region, a distance that was not worth mentioning before the cataclysm, but now it seems sky-high. If Zhou Qingfeng wants to obtain fuel and even the right of passage of the route, he is afraid that he will have to deal with Mr. Federo who is close at hand first.

"Which Mr. Federo wants independence against the 'National Front de libération de Cuba' in the north?"

"Yes."

"So what is he missing?"

"I'm afraid he's just like us, lacking everything."

"And what does he have?"

"Well......, the Guantanamo region is rich in sugar, coffee, cocoa, and the agro-processing industry here is relatively good, but the production of other industrial products is almost zero."

"Will this Mr. Federo be short of weapons?"

"There should be no shortage of light weapons, and there are a lot of reserves in the Guantanamo military base, but heavy weapons are only in great demand."

"Heavy weapons? What heavy weapons do we have to coax Mr. Federo? ”

Between questions and answers, Zhou Qingfeng and Raymond were both using their brains. The USS Kennedy's hangar contained more than 70 aircraft and a variety of advanced and expensive ammunition, including high-end cargo such as the F-35C. But the problem is that no one knows how to use these things, and even loading ammunition on the plane is a technical job.

But if you can't take out the weapons on the aircraft carrier, you can only find a way from the 'Aurora'. But the Aurora wasn't loaded with any weapons at all!

Wait...... there's a weapon to throw at Federo, and that's the M1A3 Abrams main battle tank that the Butcher and Minsk got from Minsk. In the previous naval battle with Santos, it was the tank that made a great contribution, and after the battle, the tank was recovered and placed in the port of Mars.

The big guy of nearly seventy tons looks mighty, but it is not so pleasant to use, and Zhou Qingfeng has always been very unkind to him.

However, hearing that Zhou Qingfeng was going to sell the 'Abrams', Raymond reminded in a low voice: "Mr. Hugo, we only have one 'Abrams'. ”

"But Federo doesn't know that we only have one, I can say I have a hundred, and what I want now is the right to free passage in Cuban and Bahamian waters. I'm sure which Mr. Federo would be interested. ”

When Zhou Qingfeng said this, he raised his hand and shouted: "We should set up a luxury level of liar ......, no, no, no, sales team, and then go and talk to Mr. Federo about the arms trade." (To be continued.) )
