Chapter 1363 (1/2)

The last days, the colonies of North America.

Zhou Guoping summoned colonial officials and held a simple meeting in his governor's office.

“…… Half way through the first phase, we need more slaves to build our colony. Now our colony is very crowded. The outside of the construction site is full of refugees wandering from other places. I suggest that the second phase of the project can be started immediately, and the residential area outside the fort will be developed first. ”

”We are colonists, not philanthropists in North America. We have raised more than 30000 workers and a large population. What we need now is money, not more people, ”Zhou Guoping stressed again.” it's not a bottle cap or a sub crystal, but a credit point. ”

I haven't seen pork, but I've seen pigs run.

Zhou Guoping, who had been an underground party for so long in the sixth block, Hongcheng and Shangjing, had no special talent in governing, but he was not blind. For example, the key point is that no matter what you do, you can't do without the word money.

The budget has almost been used. Now the first thing the colonies have to solve is the problem of funds. The funds here refer not to the North American survivors, but to the credit points circulating in NAC.

From the most basic construction steel bar to the high-end ammunition production line, the material gap of this new colony is far away, much larger than it seems on the surface. The only thing that is not lacking is food and refugees attracted by food.

Food is a good thing, and there is no need to worry about the market in any place. However, it is difficult to exchange the real good things from these ordinary survivors only by relying on food.

Both the National Guard and the one minute man are very cautious about NAC's actions on the west coast.

In particular, the self proclaimed orthodox national name guard regarded NAC people as the ”remaining evils” of Pan Asian cooperation with pre war thinking. Although it has never made any hostile behavior to NAC outposts, it has never given NAC people a good face.

At the meeting table, all the people were discussing how to develop the local products of the colony. When they fooled the investors of the sixth block, a herald ran in from the outside, made a military salute and reported to Zhou Guoping.

“…… Our reconnaissance team has witnessed a large number of mud crabs in the abandoned port ten kilometers away from the colony, which is suspected to be mud crab nests

”Don't bother me with such trifles,” Zhou Guoping waved impatiently. ”You can do what you want.”

”Yes

After a military salute, the herald turned and ran to the meeting room. However, before he took two steps, Zhou Guoping suddenly stopped him.

”Wait a minute,” Zhou Guoping stopped the messenger.

The herald stopped and went back to the conference room for a salute.

”What else do you want?”

”What's the difference between the mud crabs in North America and those in Asia?” Touching his chin, Zhou Guoping's eyes turned.

Before the herald had time to answer, another NAC officer, sitting at the table, said suspiciously.

”It's bigger in size, lighter in color, with serrated barbs on the claws, and milky white crab yolk Is there a problem with that? ”

”No problem. I just thought about Yizhou. Remember the crab sauce of Yizhou Island colony? I've had it once. It's delicious. ” After licking his mouth, Zhou Guoping's eyes showed a touch of fascination and excitement.

Just now, he suddenly thought of a good way to get money.

The North American colonies could follow the example of Yizhou island and breed mud crabs in coastal areas.

When the time comes, give these mud crabs in North America a gimmick enough new name, distinguish them from the mud crabs in Yizhou, and then make the milk white crab roe into crab white sauce and sell them to the sixth block. You must not worry about the market!

”Clean up the abandoned port and collect all the crab eggs in the mud for me!”

”Yes The herald saluted and turned away.

……

Outside the abandoned port, rusty containers and damaged goods are scattered everywhere. Because of unknown reasons, a large freighter rushed to the shore, half of the ship was stranded on the slope of the shore, covered by countless seaweed crawling out of the sea.

Adequate food, appropriate humidity, this semi humid environment, is the favorite of mud crab.

The next morning, the distant roar of engines broke the silence of the abandoned port.

More than ten trucks, escorted by four assault infantry vehicles, stopped in the open space in front of the port.

Soldiers, armed with rifles, jumped out of trucks in succession. A small number of them were NAC's regular army, and most of them were mercenaries made up of local survivors. Everyone split into two teams and assembled at the front of the team. The NAC officer in heavy power armor came up to the front of the line and yelled in a loud voice.
