Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 1775 1776 I just remembered the plan

Roslina, the shining pearl of the Poplar Kingdom, was once known as the most beautiful city in the world for its unique elven style. As the heart of the Poplar Kingdom, it plays a vital role, but now it is immersed in a heavy cloud.

The ballistic missiles of the Tang Empire swooped down from the high blue sky like an angry dragon, tearing apart the originally peaceful sky and rushing towards the city with destructive power.

The missiles were not accurate, but their power was stunning. When one missile hit a skyscraper that had only been built for more than three years, the entire building emitted a deafening roar, followed by a rain of brick and glass fragments, shrouding everything around in chaos. The building's frame was twisted and deformed by the impact of the explosion, and finally collapsed with a loud bang, stirring up a cloud of dust and smoke.

When this building was completed, it was considered the pride of the elves. It was built entirely with steel bars and concrete produced by the elves themselves, representing that the elves' construction industry was completely self-sufficient.

But now it has collapsed, countless civilians are buried under the rubble, air raid sirens are still echoing, and smoke is still spreading around.

Another missile landed in the traditional building area of ​​the elves, where each house was carefully constructed of precious wood. The impact of the missile made these fragile buildings collapse instantly as if they were made of paper.

The crackling of wood in the flames, mixed with the cries of people, formed a tragic picture. The once exquisite carvings and decorations were also destroyed in the aftermath of the explosion, leaving only ruins and endless sorrow.

Like Ironforge, this place is full of historical witnesses that have continued for hundreds of years, but now they have become history under the ravages of war.

Those who live in these places are often the true nobles among the elves. Now those who thought that the war had little to do with them finally realized that they were wrong, and extremely wrong.

On the streets in the distance, the craters left by the missiles were bottomless, like wounds in the earth, constantly emitting the breath of death.

The newly paved asphalt road was completely damaged, with horrible cracks spreading out. The surrounding buildings were also shaken to the point of being on the verge of collapse, and some even collapsed, crushing the civilians inside.

A car that happened to be passing by was overturned by the shock wave, and traffic was completely paralyzed. The bodies of dead pedestrians were still lying in the middle of the road, with flames splattered all around and the air was filled with a strong smell of burning and blood.

The public facilities that were built with great difficulty were also not spared. The power lines were blown off, and most of the city was without electricity. It was not yet night, so the losses were not obvious. When night fell, the terrifying darkness spread to every block, and people realized that they had almost returned to 20 or 30 years ago.

The water supply system was also severely damaged, and large areas of the city lost their water supply. Without running water, the city itself would be destroyed, and the unmanageable excrement alone was enough to give the residents of Roslina a headache.

Fortunately, gas pipelines were not widely used, so there were no large-scale secondary explosions. But this did not alleviate people's fear and despair. They could only watch their homes being engulfed by war, but they were powerless to do anything.

A fire truck finally arrived at the scene, but faced with the still burning building, the firefighters who got off the truck didn't have any better solutions.

The water they brought was definitely not enough to deal with the disaster at hand, and the fire hydrants on the streets were just decorations - God knows when and by whom the construction funds for those things were embezzled.

Now the problem came, they had no choice but to stand there helplessly: even though the one who called the police was a distinguished earl, they could do nothing without water.

The sound of sirens in the distance gradually became clearer. An ambulance passed by the place hit by the missile and hurriedly drove to another place. Following closely was a military truck.

Soldier after soldier jumped off the truck. These elf soldiers wearing M35 helmets and carrying Mauser 98K rifles were responsible for martial law in the entire area, maintaining public order and ensuring the safety of life and property of the dignitaries... although it was no longer safe.

The public facilities that once brought convenience to the city, such as hospitals and schools, also trembled in this second missile attack. These places had no protective measures, not even air-raid shelters.

The city developed too fast. During the development, too much surface work was done, and too little attention was paid to the supporting facilities behind the scenes. In the end, there was only such an ugly result.

  Without a heavy rain, who would know whether the city's drainage system is good? Without a war, who would know whether there is an air-raid shelter around you?

The difference between them is that it may rain every year, but the air-raid shelter may not be used for ten or twenty years...

Although the equipment in the hospital was not destroyed and the missile did not hit the hospital at all, fear still spread here. The patients lay helplessly on the beds, and the nurses and doctors had no time to care about these poor people at this moment.

Everything was in chaos. Some nurses were asking if missiles would fall again, and some doctors were planning how to evacuate the patients in the hospital. But no one could answer such questions, because the elves had no backup plan for command and management of the hospital during wartime.

The same is true for schools. The children in the school are sitting in the classroom in fear and have no way to do anything. They have no safe shelter at all. The teachers want these children to go home quickly, but the parents of these children cannot be contacted at all at this moment.

We can’t just let the children go back by themselves, right? What if there is no one at home? Everything is a question mark, which makes the already overwhelmed teachers anxiously spinning in circles.

Finally, a fire truck arrived next to the collapsed building. Although there was no better solution, the firefighters wearing heavy protective clothing at least made the people around them feel more at ease.

Soon, the firefighters began their work, moving through thick smoke and flames, trying to rescue those buildings and people who could still be rescued.

The orange firefighters' uniforms brought a glimmer of hope to the surrounding civilians. These orange figures seemed so small in the smoke, but their spirit was so great. Firefighters in any world are worthy of praise. These lovely people guarded the last ray of hope for the city with their sweat and persistence. They are the last barrier between disaster and life.

The good news is that the missiles stopped falling. After ten missiles fell from the sky, the second missile attack seemed to stop. More and more civilians also spontaneously joined the rescue work. This is their home, and they are more unwilling to see their home destroyed than anyone else. These civilians spontaneously organized themselves and used the tools at hand, such as shovels and buckets, to help the firefighters clean up the surroundings. Neighbors helped each other, moved the injured to a safe area, and provided them with food and shelter.

Some residents with special skills also stepped forward and used their expertise to repair the damaged power and water lines, but due to the lack of tools and equipment, their progress was very slow.

The damage control center that should have been established and the backup communication system that should have been set up were never established because of the elves' slow response.

The time between the last attack and this one was also very long, so many people felt that the Tang Empire’s missile attack might only happen that once and there would not be a second time.

What happened now undoubtedly slapped everyone in the face. It was almost exactly the same as last time. The elves were not prepared at all. Everyone was still panicked and helpless. Everyone still felt like they were being beaten for the first time.

Compared to the last time they were attacked, the top leaders of Yangmu Empire had not made any progress. So everything was still the same, and everything was still in disarray.

……

Sitting in the car, Yang Mu Yi's face looked extremely ugly. He really did not expect that the second missile attack from the Tang Empire would come so soon.

According to the original speculation, this kind of missile that can span thousands of miles cannot be cheap in any way, so similar attacks are likely to be only symbolic and will not be too frequent.

It was precisely because of this judgment that Yang Mu I ignored the previous attack and threw aside many response plans.

In fact, in the past ten days or so, the top leaders of the Yangmu Empire have still focused their attention on the vicinity of Hot Wind Port.

The local offensive launched by the Tang army here seemed to be looking for the weak points in the coalition's defense line. This round of tentative offensive made the coalition very nervous, and almost everyone believed that the Tang Empire would launch a new round of offensive in the spring.

This round of offensive will most likely be launched around Hot Wind Port. After all, after nearly two months of repairs, Hot Wind Port may have restored its throughput capacity. The Tang Empire troops, with their backs on the port, will naturally find it easier to obtain supplies.

  Compared with the troops deployed in inland areas, these coastal troops have more supply advantages. Isn't this what the Tang Empire was trying to achieve when it marched southward continuously to seize a series of ports such as Saint Luo and Hot Wind Port?

Now the problem came. The Tang army attacked Roslina again. The elves were in chaos and the power plant was paralyzed again. Yangmu I had to go to the power plant to inspect it in person after the missile attack ended.

After all, the destruction of the power plant not only means the interruption of energy supply, but also a heavy blow to the industrial stability of the entire city. At the same time, he also had to consider the mood of the people across the country. Yang Mu I's personal inspection was undoubtedly an encouragement and motivation for the people across the country, and more or less saved some of the hearts of the people of Roslina.

Accompanying Yangmu I was Air Force Commander-in-Chief Barron. He was now the target of public criticism. His poor performance of the Air Force would probably soon be scolded to death in the palace by the ministers.

So he accompanied Emperor Yangmu I to inspect the power plant that he was supposed to guard, and saw the power plant building that was blown away by the missile.

Frankly speaking, the damage to the entire power plant was not serious, but the repairs would take at least two days, during which time most of Roslina would not be able to enjoy lighting at night.

In order to protect the safety of His Majesty the Emperor, the place is already filled with the palace guards, and all the outsiders have been driven out. There is no time to take care of emergency repairs at this time.

Yang Mu Yishi stood in the distance and looked at the factory building that looked almost like a dangerous building. He vaguely saw the damaged substation equipment and some auxiliary facilities, and asked some slightly more professional questions.

For example, what are these devices, what functions do they play, are there any spare parts, and when can they be repaired...

"Your Majesty, I think we should build a backup power plant. In this way, if something goes wrong here, there is at least another power plant available..." The power plant director who was accompanying Yang Mu I carefully put forward his suggestion.

He was really scared. If the next round of missiles hit their core factory directly, it would not be a problem that could be solved in two or three days. If the power supply to the palace was really cut off, he might lose his head.

When Yang Mu Yishi heard the suggestion made by the factory director, he remembered the response plan proposed by the young air force staff officer before: Although all the other party said were passive methods of accepting the beating, it was obviously better to have a way than to have no way at this time.

So he looked at Barron and reluctantly ordered: "Didn't the Air Force have a series of response plans before? Build more underground shelters, build backup power plants and water plants, etc...."

"Well, yes, Your Majesty, there is a plan." Barron was a little surprised when he heard Yangmu I asking about this, but he quickly nodded and admitted it.

"Let's implement the planned part first. You will personally supervise it and build a backup power plant to ensure the power supply as much as possible..." Yang Mu Yi gave the order while looking at the power plant building in front of him.

"Yes, Your Majesty! I understand." Barron bowed his head and agreed. He could only agree: now as the commander of the Air Force, he had no way to intercept the enemy's attack, so the only option left was to comply with the emperor's order.

  Even though he had no plan and no idea about building a power plant, he had a lot of subordinates who had studied abroad in the Tang Empire. If he went back and asked that talkative staff officer, he would surely have a way, right?

Anyway, wasn't it he who proposed the damn plan? So we can just let the young staff officer take charge of it... Well, then find a few more people to supervise him and make sure he doesn't cause any problems with collaborating with the enemy. This way, it will be foolproof.
