Chapter 464: Lucia's desperation
5 min read1,290 words
While Chen Xin and others were distressed by the situation in the disaster
area, the situation in Lucia's capital was not much better.
Although the arrival of Xu Gou and Hai Zhu has brought a glimmer of hope to
Lucia in trouble, but this country is already weak and almost unable to grasp
this glimmer of hope.
Although Lucia is one of the top five Blue Stars, the overall strength is not
bad, but this country itself is a sick tiger caught in a quagmire.
In the era of Lucia’s predecessor, Suvia, this country collapsed due to
various social problems and became Lucia and a series of countries, but this
self-collapse did not solve the various social problems left over from the
Suvia era. On the contrary, Lucia was troubled by these problems, and the
situation became more and more difficult.
Before the disaster, Suvia had disintegrated for almost 30 years. Although
Lucia barely managed to maintain the dignity of the top five blue stars, and
the leadership’s efforts made the country struggling to get out of the
quagmire, it still remained. The results were minimal, and even the lives of
the people were not as good as in Suvia's time.
Under such circumstances, Lucia still participated in the counterattack
against the meteorite.
But this almost drained Lucia's last breath.
This country itself is invincible, and it has long since revived one of the
world's two poles that had overwhelmed Europe in the Via era. The
counterattack against the meteorite can be said to be an almost desperate bet.
If it succeeds, Lucia may be able to recover through post-disaster
reconstruction with the help of saving mankind and the human heart and
national strength gathered by this event.
Although this may not make Lucia strong again, it can at least improve its
domestic situation.
But this gamble failed, not only the failure of Lucia, but the failure of all
mankind.
There is no winner, all countries are losers.
And Lucia, because of losing too much, his country almost ushered in another
collapse.
When Yan Nation’s aid traveled thousands of kilometers to reach the capital of
Lucia, although the city did not collapse, it was far colder than Yan Nation’s
environment, shortage of various supplies, and plagued by cold and disease.
The people... have turned the capital of Suvia, one of the world's poles, into
a desperate hell.
The shelter built under the metro station in the capital is already the best
place in this country.
However, even here, it is not so much a refuge, as it is a cellar full of
hunger.
More or less people here can still get food that will keep them from starving,
but it's just starving.
Lucia is originally a high-latitude country, the winter here is much longer
than that of Yan country, and the agriculture is not well developed.
Although the food supply was barely maintained by planting potatoes
underground after the disaster, many people starved to death.
And what’s worse than Yan Country is that Lucia’s outdoor temperature is as
low as minus one hundred degrees, which is much worse than Yan Country.
Outdoor activities are impossible at this temperature, and everyone can only
stay underground. In the refuge.
This also caused Lucia to be unable to carry out post-disaster reconstruction
at all, and could only try to continue digging underground to see if the
shelter could be expanded.
What's worse is that in the extremely cold temperature, the train can't run,
and the boiler of more than one hundred degrees below zero cannot be burned.
The city is in a situation of resource shortage.
At this time, the situation in Lucia's capital was very much like the fall of
the Winter House in "The Age of Ice and Vapor", lacking food and clothing, and
the city was full of various problems.
Heating, coal, food, none of the materials can be supplied steadily!
The arrival of the two arks of the Yan Kingdom is indeed sending charcoal in
the snow, but this can provide Lucia, but it is only a little bit of alcohol
poured into the pile of embers. Although it looks like it is burning, it can
be used when the alcohol is burned out. At that time, even this last bit of
embers could not be maintained.
If you want to save this country, unless you can inject new firewood.
"You have already seen the situation here. Lucia needs Yan Guo's help very
much now!" In the central subway station refuge, Lucia's leader met with
officials sent by Yan Guo and frankly told him that Lucia's Dilemma: "The only
one who can help Lucia is Yan Kingdom. As long as you are willing to help us
through this dilemma, we are willing to use everything in return for your
help."
At this time, the predicament that Lucia was facing had no room for the leader
to negotiate terms and deal with the officials of Yan State.
The only thing he can do at this time is to put everything Lucia has on the
negotiating table for Yan Nation to choose, in exchange for the help that can
keep Lucia alive.
"What do you need?" Perhaps it was the humility in the Yan Guo people's bones.
Even if they wanted to take everything that Lucia could provide, Yan Guo
officials first asked Lucia's needs.
After all, it's already the meat in the bowl, and it doesn't have to be too
ugly.
"Food! Medicine! Fuel! Even clothes! Lucia needs everything! Everything that
can make people alive!" Lucia's leader rubbed his forehead helplessly, telling
the Yan State officials Lucia's needs. , Even if it would expose Lucia's
weakness at the moment.
But Lucia's leader can no longer manage that much, and if there is no support,
Lucia should be subjugated.
Before the disaster, Lucia certainly knew to be prepared, and they actually
did all the preparations they could, relying on the legacy of the Suvia era.
However, the harsh environment and the weakness of Lucia's own national
strength have left them incapable of doing more in many things.
For example, if you plant potatoes underground, Lucia certainly knows that
this is the only way to get food after the disaster, but the weakness of the
country makes it impossible for Lucia to have enough food to feed everyone. UU

Now, Lucia’s leader has no way to think about more. In the end, he even
considered the possibility of the whole country being merged into Yan Nation,
like the United Kingdom, in exchange for the possibility of this country and
its people continuing to survive.
Compared with the difficulties of the leader of Lucia, the officials of Yan
Country obviously have to be more calm. He thought about it and said: "We have
brought 50 tons of food and 10 tons of medicine. These are gifts to you free
of charge. You can respond first. Get in a hurry."
Hearing Yan Guo officials say so, the face of Lucia leader showed a surprise
expression.
Although it is really not much, it is indeed a charcoal in the snow, which can
alleviate the urgent need.
"As for more assistance, I need to contact the country to make a decision.
After all, the situation in Yan Country is not optimistic. The earthquake in
the southwest region has brought huge losses to Yan Country, and we don't have
much spare capacity to help you. "The officials of Yan State have been in
contact with the country, and of course they know the domestic situation.
Speaking out at this moment is not only the factors that explain the
situation, but also the bargaining with Lucia's leader.
After all, Yan Guo's help was not really free.
