1569 Shocking news
North America, Chicago.
A large number of refugees were lined up to move slowly among the ruins of the city. People were dressed in tatters and expressionless. Occasionally, there were some commotion and quarrels, and the guards holding sticks would immediately come forward to drag the troublemaker out and beat them up.
The refugees looked very poor, with pale faces, numb and dull. They held various containers in their hands and waited to get food at the relief point in front of the team.
In front of the team, Rachel, wearing a simple gray dress, was receiving the thanks from the refugees. Many people were able to shed gratitude after drinking a sip of hot wheat porridge, and they all fell in front of Rachel and cried.
A tall man stood beside Rachel, who put his hands on his hips and pressed a revolver around his waist and said, "Mrs. Lawrence, you are too concerned about these refugees."
No matter how good you give them food, they won't be truly grateful. Do you believe that many of them are actually scolding you? These are all bastards, garbage, useless waste, and disgusting maggots.
We try our best to create jobs for them, but these people would rather wander around, steal, cheat, rob, than work hard. They are not worthy of sympathy, and I wish I could kill them all."
The strong man's words are ruthless and indifferent, which sounds very angering, but Rachel, who is standing by, cannot refute it. Because the current social situation in North America is very tense and the situation is too complicated.
Chicago is the territory of the Knights of the Holy Light in the Brotherhood of Steel. This place was once an important city for industry, finance, and technology. It was densely populated and well-equipped, and it was a good place to make a fortune. But now, more than two years after the catastrophe, it is still broken and decayed.
America was once proud of its diverse culture, feeling that it was a melting pot of nations, and immigrants from all over the world could find their own living space when they came to America. But at a moment when catastrophe was testing human nature, the situation was completely wrong.
The strong man standing behind Rachel is a senior officer of the Knights of the Holy Light. The Brotherhood of Steel is a white ruling class and naturally takes care of people of the same skin color.
In the eyes of Chinese people, white Americans are almost the same. But in fact, white people are divided into multiple ethnic groups, such as Irish, German, and Italian, with more blood from Britain and France.
If mixed blood and different religions are added, the fun will be even greater. You should know that those who believe in Christ alone are divided into several sects, and there are also maverick branches such as Judaism. This situation is much more complicated than the Aurora Legion ruled by Zhou Qingfeng.
White people want to drive people of color into factories to work, but people of color think that sweatshops are too hard and tiring. Similar contradictions fill every corner of society, and there are also various looting and vendettas of resources, which makes the longer the time become more and more messy.
New York, controlled by David Lawrence, learned from the beginning of Zhou Qingfeng's strategy, resumed production as much as possible, and purified the social structure, which could reduce the cost of domination. For the uncontrollable population, simply kill or drive away.
This is the secret to His Excellency Lawrence becoming the dominant power of the Iron Brotherhood. However, the other four branches of the Iron Brotherhood do not have such a clear ruling philosophy. For example, the Mormon Church directly wants to unify all ideas through missionary work.
This is also a factor in the Mormon Church's ability to penetrate the entire Iron Brotherhood territory. All rulers are disturbed by religious issues. In the eyes of Americans, people must always believe in one religion.
Of course, in Zhou Qingfeng's opinion, those who believe in religion are idiots. It is better to believe me and die if you don't believe me.
The above is the trouble that Rachel faces. Her main job is to save the social bottom of the entire Brotherhood of Steel. Due to her completely unconditional assistance, other branches of the Brotherhood welcomed her arrival and even promoted her to be a kind existence like a Virgin.
The end of the world requires idols, and a kind person is easily deified. In a chaotic world, people are easily moved by a woman who simply does good deeds.
In fact, Rachel was not happy about her growing fame. On the contrary, the more she helped her, the more she felt heartbroken. At present, the leader of any North American force is a tyrant in her eyes, including her husband and Zhou Qingfeng.
"Mrs. Lawrence, I think you can leave. I admire your character very much, but a noble person like you should not be with these garbage." The strong man next to him urged Rachel to leave. In his opinion, it was completely unnecessary to save the poor.
Looking at the long team of refugees, Rachel could only sigh. She lifted the corner of her long skirt and slowly left the relief point. While walking, she thought: What would that bastard Victor do when encountering this situation?
Throw a nuclear bomb and kill all useless people.
Rachel smiled bitterly, knowing that the demon in the south would definitely do such a thing.
While leaving, a messenger hurriedly ran over to report to the strong officer beside Rachel. The officer was shocked and exclaimed, as if he had heard something extremely terrible.
"What happened?" Rachel asked vaguely when he heard the words "Aurora Legion" and "Mexico".
The strong officer did not hide the big news he had just heard. He said in a deep voice: "The Diago regime in Mexico suddenly announced his surrender to the Aurora Legion. The zombie president ordered all his subordinates to put down their weapons and obey the orders of the army."
What..., the Diago regime surrendered to the Aurora Legion? Anyone who hears this news will say in his heart that this is really a damn dog!
A powerful local force with an area of nearly two million square kilometers and a population of 30 million actually surrendered to a small force that had just controlled an island country of more than one million and had a population of more than one million?
Well, the Aurora Legion cannot be regarded as a "small force", and all North American families think that the Diago regime will probably be beaten badly by the Aurora Legion. But now that the war has only been officially started, one of his side has surrendered, and the one that seems to be a bigger side surrenders.
The news sounded ridiculous, and even Rachel cursed: "Damn it, Victor has taken a big advantage this time."
The strong military officer on the side was also scolding him. He scolded the president of the Diago regime for not resisting, scolded Victor Hugo for being lucky, and at the same time he was extremely afraid of the Aurora Legion that was about to swallow Mexico.
"We have a total population of more than 60 million in North America, and the Iron Brotherhood accounts for only half of them. Now that the Aurora Legion swallows Mexico, it can be equal to us all at once."
The officer of the Knights of the Holy Light kept talking to the 30 million people, and at most he added a glorious word, "Fortunately Mexico is not strong, otherwise we will be in trouble."
Haha... Rachel can only despise this kind of gratitude. Mexico is not strong, but the Aurora Legion is very strong, Victor Hugo is very strong. She can even think that if her husband hears this news, he will be afraid to be scared to wake up in his dreams.
What does it mean to be like a tiger with wings? That's it!
No one expected that the Diago regime would collapse so quickly, and it would be a waste of territory to the opponent for free.
The Aurora Legion had only a million people, which had already been disrupted by North America. If the territory and population surged again...
