Alien Arms Empire.

The most wonderful thing about this world is that not everyone's things will go according to the script.

When all countries are actively preparing for a large-scale war, the weather on this planet suddenly becomes unpredictable.

When Tang Mo was in his son's room looking at the crackling raindrops hitting the glass window outside the window, he couldn't hide the sad look on his face.

It has been raining heavily for two consecutive days, and the construction sites in Chang'an City are about to be submerged by the rain.The water supply and drainage system, which has not been fully completed, is facing the greatest test.

The whole of Chang'an has turned into a swamp country, and the water on the ground can almost submerge to the ankle.

There are workers rushing to repair various facilities in the rain. They wear raincoats and try their best to maintain the power supply of the entire city.

Bean-sized raindrops hit the advertising signboard, and below were children running across the street in a hurry. They still had to go to class. Excuse me for being absent from any class.

"Your Majesty!" Alice hugged her child, walked behind Tang Mo, and comforted the man who now controls a country.

Tang Mo turned around and squeezed out a smile: "Sigh, I don't know what's going on in the disaster area, it's really worrying."

Yes, although Chang'an has been raining non-stop, this is not the area with the most exaggerated rainfall. The real disaster area is actually in Chu State, and the situation there is now completely out of control.

The flood disaster on the Chu side has spread throughout the entire territory, two-thirds of the area has been affected, most of the farmland has been destroyed, and many cities have even lost contact.

The heavy rain continued intermittently for more than [-] days, and the river ran wildly in the valley. As far as the eye could see, there was a swampy country, and tens of millions of people were displaced.

Originally, when the enemy country suffered a disaster, the Tang country only needed to watch the excitement, but the southern part of the Tang country was also experiencing the test of heavy rain.

The river in the upper reaches of Chu State was completely out of control, and the flood raged along the mountain stream, rushing to the southern area of ​​Tang State in one breath, and then destroying it in sevens and eighties.

The border defense lines originally built by both sides have become floodplains, and the trenches and bunkers that have been built with great effort are now soaked in water. The border troops have to withdraw from these fortified areas and move to higher areas .

Both countries are doing their best to rescue the disaster, but in terms of results, Tang's side is obviously more effective, and the disaster suffered is relatively smaller.

After all, Tang Mo built water power and dredged the river at the beginning of the establishment of the Tang Kingdom, so he was more or less prepared for the flood.

The dams built for power generation played a buffer role at critical moments, and the embankments built for irrigation were indeed strong enough.

The river channel that was dredged for shipping also increased the depth of the river bed more or less. These tasks completed in advance allowed Tang Guo to survive the previous three flood peaks.

"You've done a good enough job. In the past, if you encountered such rainy weather and floods, it would be normal for a country to completely collapse." Alice comforted her.

Her father once told her a story about a flood in the Kingdom of Wright. Almost one-fifth of the country's population was lost, and all the hard work of a year was in vain.And that flood seemed to be smaller than this one.

"If I'm not wrong, a conspiracy against our country will start soon." Tang Mo stood up and sighed: "I thought it would be next year or the year after. Now it seems that I was careless gone."

He reached out and touched the second prince who was already sleeping in his mother's arms, then lowered his head and kissed the eldest son in the bed, and then walked out.

There is still a lot of work for him to do in person, at this time he must be busier than anyone else, and he must know many things immediately.

"How's it going?" After closing the door, Tang Mo looked at Loew who was waiting in the corridor, as well as Roger and others.

"Things are even worse than we expected. Chu State may have to give up completely. They have almost lost their fortune. It is impossible to expect them to help." The Minister of Foreign Affairs shook his head and explained to Tang Mo.

"We are communicating with them to provide 10 tons of food as an early aid, but the other side wants us to increase the total amount of aid to 100 million tons." When this matter was mentioned, the minister of the foreign ministry had an ugly expression.

"They'll just come and grab it." Hearing this number, Tang Mo's expression also became ugly.The other party obviously didn't want to help, but was planning to take the opportunity to extort money.

This is a completely shameless state. He can't handle the flood upstream, and throws it all to the downstream of his Tang country to deal with it.

If it weren't for the good infrastructure on his side, the solid embankment, and more preparations, he might be doomed this time.

In fact, it is not entirely correct to say that Chu State is completely flat, but Chu State has more mountains, and the floods rushed directly to Tang State along the valley, so Chu State suffered less disasters.

This is also related to the policy of governing the country: no one in Chu State takes the common people seriously, so when disasters come, the common people feel that they are used to it.Tang State is just the opposite, and the common people have high expectations for the country.

"How's the grain reserve?" Tang Mo looked at Roger.

Roger bowed his head and said, "The food in the northern area is not a problem. We are already supporting the southern area. We can guarantee three meals a day for the common people. This is almost the limit."

"Very good, better than I expected! You all worked hard! As long as God can't defeat us this time, everyone who welcomes us next will be victorious!" Tang Mo nodded and encouraged the civil affairs department. officials.

As he walked, he continued to ask Roger: "The direction of Tongcheng must be guaranteed. If not, you can only make a fuss in the upper reaches! But before doing anything, the people must all evacuate. This must be guaranteed."

"Yes! Your Majesty, I understand." Roger continued to agree.

"We must protect Tongcheng. It is an industrial center, so there will be no problems." The guards in front of Tang Mo pushed open the door of the conference room, and Tang Mo walked in first.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty! People are here, and the city is here!" Roger assured again.

Tang Mo nodded, and before taking his seat, he looked at Loew who was following behind him: "What about the army?"

"Your Majesty! We have mobilized 30 troops to guard the three main rivers and the tributaries of the three rivers. The most important task is to keep the dams." Loew immediately reported: "In addition, there are 15 officers and soldiers. We are actively mobilizing reinforcements to the disaster area."

"The road is very muddy, and it is very difficult for our troops to advance. Some sections of the road have been washed away by floods, and most soldiers can only advance on foot." He pointed to some areas on the hanging map: "Some areas are slightly better, Heavy equipment can enter."

Along several major rivers in Tang State, he introduced the combat deployment of this flood in turn: "Four light infantry divisions are deployed around Tongcheng, and they are besieging the city with sandbags and cement."

"Except for the Armored Division, almost all the troops have mobilized part of their troops to join the battle against the flood. The least troops have one battalion from one division, and the most one division has two regiments." After speaking, Loew stood Next to the map, waiting for Tang Mo's further instructions.

A minister wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the people around him: "Now it seems that having a city wall is not completely useless."

Hearing the complaints from his subordinates, Roger snorted coldly and reprimanded: "What's the use of saying this now! Redman's task is to defend the Copper City at all costs!"

"How is the embankment breach going?" Tang Mo asked after sitting down.

Someone immediately reported the situation: "The gaps in the five embankment breaches are already being dealt with, and several project successors who cut corners and materials are being held accountable..."

"The troops are constructing the breach, and the death order is to block it before nightfall!" Loew raised his chin and assured Tang Mo.

Tang Mo nodded, and said, "If we keep an area, the civilians in that area don't have to migrate or suffer... As long as we keep an area, there will be a area where the crops can mature, and there will be an area that doesn't need a lot of food. material relief."

"This is fighting for our family! Fighting for our people! Fighting for our country! Fighting for the spirit of Tang people!" He glanced at every minister present: "We don't abandon a single people! We fight for Every Tangren will fight to the end!"

"Send a telegram to the countries on the eastern continent, especially the countries in the north that are not affected by disasters. We want as much food as we can!" Tang Mo looked at the Minister of Finance Simeone: "As long as the price they offer is within a reasonable range, we will take all the orders. receive!"

"I've been doing this all the time, Your Majesty!" Simeone got up and replied, "I also purchased cement and other materials from the Ice Empire and Mirage."

"Good job! In addition, let's ship out some of the strategic grain reserves stored in Longdao... first one-tenth! Just in case." Tang Mo continued to order.

Simeone continued to nod and agreed: "I will do it immediately after the meeting."

"All border areas can't slack off! Our enemies are likely to take advantage of this disaster to trouble us!" Tang Mo once again looked at Loew who was standing next to the map, and ordered.

Loew stood at attention: "Obey! Your Majesty! I will order the navy and border garrison to enter the second-level combat readiness!"

"The intelligence department should also be vigilant! Don't let go of any disturbance!" Tang Mo turned his head and looked at Li Ao.

Li Ao also stood up: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

The rain outside the window was still falling non-stop, and the dense raindrops hit the window of the conference room, making crackling noises.
