Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 734

Using a movable vehicle equipped with a weather controller to disperse the blizzard is indeed a method worth trying.

Even if I can't catch up with this white disaster, maybe it will be of great use next time, but now...

Perfect looked at the astrologer from the Astronomical Society whom she had specially invited to attend the cabinet meeting, and asked him, "How long will this snowstorm last?"

Although this era does not have the meteorological satellites and various meteorological monitoring methods of the original world, the existence of astrologers can still accurately predict weather changes within a limited range.

Even if Perfect was willing to lend the Philosopher's Stone as he had done a few years ago, they would be able to make predictions that were more accurate and more extensive.

In response to Perfect's question, the astrologer simply took out a divination record and reported to Perfect: "According to our divination, this blizzard will continue for more than ten days, but there is an interfering factor in the prophecy. If the choice of this factor is changed, the blizzard will dissipate within three days."

Although the astrologer did not say it explicitly, the meaning in his eyes had already revealed the message.

"So that's how it is. It seems that my decision will determine whether the North can quickly survive this white disaster!" Of course, Perfecto understood what the other party was saying, but she had not made a decision on the matter.

There was no doubt that the astrologer had just meant that if she was willing to intervene personally, the blizzard could be ended in three days.

For Perfecto, this is not impossible, but it also means that she needs to pay some prices that she is not willing to pay.

The decision here is nothing more than for Perfect to weigh the cost that he was originally unwilling to pay against the losses caused by allowing the blizzard to rage for another ten days.

If the blizzard dissipates within three days, everything will be simple and the losses in the entire North will be minimized.

But this means that Perfecto will have to give up something of great value to her, and this may be the key that influences her decision.

If the blizzard is allowed to rage for another ten days, the price to be paid is that the entire North will have to endure the current predicament for another ten days.

During these ten days, there may be a large number of shelters whose fuel supply is interrupted and food is scarce. Some people will freeze to death or starve to death. They could have survived, but they died only because Perfect was unwilling to pay a price that was worth so much to her.

Of course, the consequences of a snowstorm that lasted for more than ten days are far more than these. All aspects will be seriously affected after being ravaged by the snowstorm that lasted for nearly a month.

It will most likely take several years to eliminate the aftereffects of this snowstorm, and it may even cause Victoria's current relatively decent state to fall into decline, with the entire country falling into decline.

So should we give up something of great value to ourselves in exchange for the empire being able to smoothly survive this snowstorm?
Perfect was in a state of hesitation.

She could do that, but she hesitated.

It's not that Perfecto couldn't bear to part with her treasures or anything. If the material possessions could ensure that the North could safely survive this crisis, she would not be stingy with the loss of property.

What really made Perfect hesitate was the dependence of the imperial bureaucracy on her.

The entire cabinet was waiting for her to fix the problem instead of trying to solve it themselves.

Not having the ability to solve a problem and not trying to solve a problem are two completely different concepts.

The former represents a problem of ability and is not a crime of war, while the latter is a problem of attitude.

No matter how capable you are, it will be useless if you don’t have the right attitude.

Just like Perfect herself, she has the ability to end this blizzard, but she is unwilling to take action, thinking that someone in the empire will solve the problem and she doesn't need to step forward, which could result in very bad consequences.

In other words, if the officials of the Imperial Cabinet had been actively working on disaster relief instead of doing nothing due to various objective conditions, Perfect would not necessarily hesitate now.

They may not have the ability, but their attitude cannot be so lax.

They may be incompetent, but they cannot do nothing. Even if someone comes to beg Perfect to take action, she thinks that these people have at least tried.

However, up to now, all members of the cabinet have been waiting passively, waiting for Perfecto to come up with a solution as he had in the past, and then they would go and complete it. No one has taken the initiative to think about how they should solve the problem of this snowstorm.

This is the main reason why Perfect hesitated. She didn't want to turn these people into useless people because of her outstanding abilities.

Her goal is to save humanity from the crisis of world destruction, not to take care of everything and turn humanity into useless people.

So after asking the cabinet members again for other solutions to the problem to no avail, Perfect made a decision: "I will no longer be involved in this matter. All matters related to this white disaster will be decided and handled by the cabinet. You will decide the fate of the empire."

After saying this, Perfect stood up, saluted to Queen Anne, and left the Cabinet Meeting Room.

Perfecto's seemingly resigned action frightened everyone in the cabinet. Everyone saw the result of her last action. The empire was almost in a huge crisis and everything was in chaos.

Although it is not to say that the empire cannot do without Perfect, the consequences of her unwillingness to take charge are very serious, and this has long been a consensus among everyone.

Now that Perfect is once again showing signs of quitting, how can this not cause panic in the cabinet? Especially at such a critical time when a blizzard is raging in the North.

Everyone panicked.

Even Queen Anne was worried, wondering if Perfecto had any ideas.

Although Queen Anne roughly guessed what Perfecto wanted to do, there were some things that she was still worried about even if she knew, especially when the cabinet's performance was not satisfactory.

"Someone, go and invite Earl Brandis to have a talk." Queen Anne thought about it and decided to first find out what Perfectcott's ideas were and whether he had the confidence to back them up before discussing other things.

The cabinet members were thrown into the conference room, staring at each other in bewilderment.

However, Karin was not as panicked as other cabinet members. She didn't say anything before because she really couldn't think of a solution. But now, she was the most anxious person in the entire cabinet.

But her identity and position determined that she could not just rush to Perfectok to find out, so she could only suppress her inner anxiety and planned to visit Perfectok in the evening to find out what was going on.
