Chapter 284        Mad

The Nassau port was under attack, Xu Guangrong led the backup team of two thousand men, as their sergeant, and landed at Nassau. Under the AC-130 gunship’s cover, Katrina led her five-hundred-men team to occupy the Nassau International Airport.

The soldiers and armed vehicles were transported by a dozen transport aircrafts. Even though it was only five hundred of them and they were not strong, they had air support. They received more than the helicopters from Enclave and right now, the helicopters provided support from the air; they were armed with machine guns. Under such circumstances, resistance from the armed soldiers in Cuba was totally meaningless.

“Damn it!” Santos was devastated and fell to the ground. He never thought Nassau would be conquered in such a little amount of time. The enemy occupied both the port and the airport. What am I supposed to do now? Without the soldiers in Nassau, Santos was nothing more than an ordinary old man!

Zhou Qingfeng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Nassau had fallen. Nassau has a great port and an international airport with cheap labor. The islands around have rich resources and the Bahamas has a good, strategic depth.

It was located at least more than two hundred nautical miles away from the two nearest places, Florida and Cuba. Thus, it was relatively safe. It was a great place for not only preventing the attack from enemies, but also significantly reduced the impact of the nuclear war in the future.

The first part of the Polarlys Legion’s plan for the Caribbean was basically achieved and Enclave was contented. This meant that at least half of the Cubans would be stopped from coming into Florida. If the Bahamas was under the Polarlys Legion, the Brotherhood of Steel’s plan of expanding to the south of the United States would be interrupted.

Of course, Enclave increased its supplies to prevent the Polarlys Legion from getting lured by the Brotherhood of Steel. Katrina spent an entire day settling Nassau. On the second day, the Nassau International Airport had already returned its normal operations. After a few days, there were already tons of cargo ships at the Nassau port.

The entire invasion and implementation only took three days. Right now, there were only eight days left until the nuclear war.

Ms. Mirta, who was in Guantanamo, sold all the transport aircraft, gyroplanes, and helicopters to the Polarlys Legion at a price of one hundred and fifty tons of food per equipment.

Other than the transport aircraft which were transporting people and important equipment from the United States to Nassau, the rest of the aircraft were detained in Nassau because Zhou Qingfeng thought they did not ‘meet the requirements’. There was one ship left, the Anchorage-class dock landing ship, and Enclave was very interested in that ship.

Mirta thought that an aircraft for a hundred and fifty tons of food was not worth it. Also, she could see that Zhou Qingfeng was working with Clooney. Thus, she secretly sold the dock landing ship to Enclave for fifty thousand tons of resources.

However, Enclave was more interested in the aircraft carrier, Kennedy which was still under Zhou Qingfeng’s control. They would not dare to get in touch with Mirta directly. On the other hand, Zhou Qingfeng was planning to continue supplying the Alliance with what they needed. Right now, he was just waiting for the carrier rescue team gathered by Lena to get the aircraft carrier back to sea.

It took Lena Fox two days to prepare and gather the carrier rescue team in Newport News. Therefore, Zhou Qingfeng stayed for two days to play around with Mirta and Enclave to get more benefits from them.

Besides having fun with the Cuban ladies, Zhou Qingfeng thought about Lawrence’s family in New York. He then grabbed the high-power wireless radio and called Angie.

After a few moments, instead of Angie, David Lawrence answered the call. David was surprised that Zhou Qingfeng called. He asked, “Victor! How are you doing in South America?”

“Uh…., not too bad, I guess.” Zhou Qingfeng was trying to be humble even though he was doing really great.

However, David Lawrence misunderstood what Zhou Qingfeng said, “You come back if it’s too tough for you out there. Don’t be so stubborn. I understand that you’re young, hot-blooded, and want to do something great, I was completely like you. But, you know, the world is in chaos now, you need help no matter how strong you are.”

“I agree that you’re strong - you and your team. You know what? You can be my assistant. Yeah, you heard me! I have the power to do that.”

“I’m the regional director of the Brotherhood of Steel in New York City. In fact, the entire New York and New Jersey are under my control. Thousands of people are under my control. You know what? You could be here to help me manage these people, it would be a challenging job that’s good for your future.”

David Lawrence was so contented in the period when Zhou Qingfeng was not around. He could not wait to brag about his current situation to this kid who used to be his neighbor, who used to take naked pictures of his wife, who used to hook up with his daughter, who took his best friend, Katrina, and finally got his wife to put on the chastity underwear.

“I’m now one of the strongest legion directors in the Brotherhood of Steel; the power I have can only be owned by the rich and the royal families. But now, they all came into my hands easily. Victor, I know South America isn’t going to be easy for you. Angie misses you, Rachel…., um, my wife has already forgiven you for the mistakes that you’ve made. Why don’t you come back to us?”

What a touching call; Zhou Qingfeng was flattered. Zhou Qingfeng was speechless because it was so awkward. It would be normal if Angie missed him, but Rachel…., she must hate him to death.

“Mr. Lawrence, thank you very much for your invitation. I’m actually doing pretty well over here.” Zhou Qingfeng was trying to explain.

“With just those two ships? The resources should’ve already been depleted by now because there are hundreds of you,” David Lawrence said with disdain. “Do you have any idea how much resources I own? I could simply take out a thousand tons of food to help the people and more than thousands of people would appreciate what I did. They’re going to praise me.”

“Actually, that’s what I just did.”

“What? You’re kidding me.”

“I’m not even joking. I’m in Cuba right now. Just before today, we conquered the capital city of Bahamas, Nassau. We rescued more than twenty thousand people who were treated as slaves. They really appreciate what I’ve done.”

“.......” David remained silent.

Zhou Qingfeng continued, “Right now, I’m at the Guantanamo military base. You know what? Millions of Cubans got to eat because of me. Before I was here, they lived on only drinking water and added sugar and caught fish along the coast. Oh poor Cubans, they have boats for fishing but they couldn’t do it because they didn’t have fuel.”

“......” Again, David kept quiet.

“Oh right, I’ve been working with Enclave and they were being really nice. They sent me tons of resources. Honestly, we’re already running out of space to put them. Our port and airport are so packed.”

Meanwhile, Zhou Qingfeng could hear heavy breathing from the other end of the wireless radio. It sounded like an angry, heavy breath.

“Actually, the reason I called you today was to remind you that there’s going to be a huge crisis in New York. Millions of people would be killed….”

“Bullsh*t! That’s impossible! The people here are living even better than before the cataclysm. They love me, appreciate me, and they listen to me. Victor Hugo, just stays wherever you are, in some little place in South America that I don’t care about. Don’t ever come back to New York again.”

Oops…., it seems like David Lawrence is really mad!
