"Hello, respected Marshal," Kong Qian saluted respectfully. "On behalf of Hangzhou Merchants Federation, I would like to offer you the highest respect."
As early as more than a year ago, the Hangzhou Merchants Federation was incorporated into the NAC as an economic zone, but Jiang Chen has always given these merchants a high degree of autonomy. In addition to maintaining the garrison to maintain law and order, It was just that a representative office and executive officer were stationed in Hangzhou, and the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce like Kong Qian was still elected by themselves.
Jiang Chen was very curious, what was his fish bone base doing at this time.
"I don't want to say anything more about politeness. Is there anything special about me?" Kong Qian looked up and down, and Jiang Chen opened the door and asked.
Kong Qian did not answer, but only slightly nodded, took a letter from his arms and delivered it to Jiang Chen.
"This is?" Jiang Chen frowned slightly, opened the envelope, and looked at the line of words, his brows tightened more and more. Han Junhua, who was standing next to him, seemed to guess what the letter would be. Just swiping the first line of the letter, he looked away.
【Dear President of Hangzhou Merchants Association, I only represent all the survivors in the Northern Union District and pay the highest respect to you. We have been in trade for many years, regardless of civil officials, we have always maintained a friendly cooperative relationship ...]
【... The force we possess is by no means violent by the bandits and the bandits. The puppet regime will surely be crushed under our tank wheels. If you stubbornly resist, only ruin the way, Wang Ru waits for thought. 】
【Fang Yuanhong, the head of the 1st Army Corps in the Northern United Command. 】
Despite the polite wording, it is still difficult to conceal the arrogance between the lines.
In short, this is a surrender book.
"It's definitely not that the bandits and gangsters can resist ...? Oh, it seems that we are really underestimated." Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile.
Although the industrial capacity of the 6th block is not as good as any industrial park before the war, if waste soil is used as a comparative standard, it may be impossible to find such an industrial base with such a high production capacity throughout the earth. Although the Northern United Zone has mastered pre-war equipment, war has never been more than simply technological content, but also tested logistical capabilities.
Even if a prowler can exchange ten Tiger Hunter II? The Prowler blasts one less, while there are still many Tiger Hunter II lying on the assembly line of the 6th block military factory.
Folding the envelope back, Jiang Chen looked at Kong Qian, and he looked at him like a smile.
"It seems that you have made a wise choice." Jiang Chen smiled.
Kong Qian bowed slightly.
"In my opinion, the regime change is like a sun-moon rotation. There is no such thing as orthodox. For our businessmen, who can bring us stability is the indisputable master of this land. "
In the eyes of these businessmen, the talents in the Northern Union are more like bandits and gangsters than NAC, which pursues free trade.
"I will remember your words and your loyalty," Jiang Chen put the letter aside, looked at Kong Qian, and then said, "So, you are here to send this letter this time Do you have anything else to discuss with me? "
"There is indeed one more thing." Kong Qian nodded, then said, "I don't know if the Marshal noticed, this winter is a month earlier than in previous years."
Think carefully, it is.
Jiang Chen vaguely remembered that when it was still October, Wanghai City ushered in the first light snow. Because a lot of things happened afterwards, he didn't take this detail to heart, and now think about it carefully, this is indeed abnormal.
"Sometimes ago, a businessman from our Chamber of Commerce who was engaged in the business of drugs and mutated cowhide returned from Shangjing, bringing news farther north. The area north of Heilongjiang Province belongs to the CCCP area, which almost disappeared because of the extreme cold Human area. According to the analysis of climate data observed by Shangjing City Meteorological Station, in the next five to ten years, the earth may usher in a small ice age caused by nuclear winter. "
"Little Ice Age?" Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
He vaguely remembered that the Little Ice Age in history began in the 13th century and reached its peak in the 17th century. At its peak, Northern Europe was starving, and even half of the population in Norway and Sweden lost their lives in famine. In the Ming Dynasty on the other side of the earth, part of the reason for the national power's change from prosperity to decline can even be blamed on this little ice age.
"Marshal can remember the first few years after the nuclear war?" Kong Qian asked.
"I don't remember, I was in the refuge at the time." Jiang Chen shook his head and replied with his usual rhetoric.
"No wonder," Kong Qian sighed and explained to Jiang Chen, "After the nuclear war, in the first five to six years, even in the hottest south, there was no concept of summer. The earth was covered by snow all year , Shrouded in the haze of nuclear winter. The situation did not improve until the seventh year after the end of the nuclear war. "
"We thought the nuclear winter had passed, but now it seems to be our wishful thinking."
Speaking of this, Kong Qian paused for a moment, then continued.
"The settlements of survivors from the north of Wanghai City are desperately acquiring and storing food. Fortunately, within the scope of Wanghai City, the price of nutritional mixtures has doubled in areas outside Wanghai City. In addition to this, all commodities are depreciating ... except for Yajing itself, which is a hard currency. "
"Someone is hoarding the nutrient mixture and subcrystals? Are there any special uses for these things?" Jiang Chen asked.
"It is all survivors who are hoarding these two things." Kong Qian said seriously, "As for the obvious reason, they are preparing for the winter."
No one knows how long this winter will last, ten years? Twenty years? Even a century? As long as the emitted dust cannot be dispersed, the surface climate will only become more severe. Under natural selection and elimination, alien species will evolve in the direction of cold resistance, strongness, and barbarism, but the weak humans can only be eliminated by nature in this small ice river without the help of tools.
If this winter will continue ...
Jiang Chen looked out of the window, and he felt a strong uneasiness in his heart.
This inexplicable unrest was even stronger than when he heard about the invasion of the United Zone.
If winter continues, NAC ’s plantations will bear the brunt. If there is no input of raw materials such as mutated fruit and kamm resin, the industry in the sixth block will undoubtedly also suffer losses ... greenhouse cultivation? It can be, but the most critical energy cannot be solved.
Most of the sub-crystals in the 6th block come from heterogeneous pastures, and the feed for heterogeneous pastures comes from the variation fruits produced by the plantation. The energy source of these subcrystals is ultimately solar energy. If the two energy sources of solar energy and sub-crystal are lost, the electricity consumption in the entire NAC area becomes a problem ...
Wait, if the migration in the Liantong District was due to climate problems, why did n’t they move to a more southern region, but chose Wanghai City on the east coast? Instead of places like Fuzhou or Yizhou Island?
At this time, Jiang Chen suddenly recalled the "Declaration of War" distorted by the Crimson Chamber of Commerce during the last civil war.
If it is not the wreckage of the rod of God that keeps the northern united district attached, what will the "treasure" in their mouth be?
Just when Jiang Chen was in deep thought, Kong Qian spoke again.
"We have a proposal on this side, and we hope that the Marshal will carefully consider it." (To be continued.)
