The country of Rigavia panicked.

What happened in Port Pierce spread across the country in just one day.

As a country dominated by the export of agricultural products and building materials, the country's only port has come to a standstill.

What does that mean?

The next morning, in the parliament building, representatives of various industries gathered, and they didn't want to hear the parliament say, "All this is done by Behemoth Industries." For such reasons, they only demanded that the parliamentarians must solve the trouble of the sinking ship within one month.

The barley sector is the most represented, coming from various cities.

They said aggressively: "In 10 days, the barley harvest will begin across the country." ”

"Barley is the backbone of our economy, bringing billions of dollars in GDP every year. ”

"When the time comes, Port Pierce will not be repaired, and you are doing it, have you ever wondered how to deal with those angry wheat farmers?"

"I... We can transport by rail. "We have a railway with Lithuania that connects us to the countries of Europe." ”

"You pay for the freight, and you negotiate with the European railway department?"

Immediately, a representative rejects him.

The profits of bulk agricultural products are already very low, and the three Baltic countries are generally suitable for growing barley due to climatic reasons.

The barley of Rigavia has to be transported by rail, so why not Lithuania?

More than 40 countries in Europe, due to historical reasons, some of these countries have railway track specifications that are not interoperable, and need to replace train wheels in order to continue to move forward.

Not to mention the problem that a train has a capacity of only a few thousand tons, the increased cost of rail transportation alone will be more than three times the price of sea freight. This also involves changes in the transit time of the goods and the delivery of the goods by the customer.

Barley is not an exclusive product of Rigavia, which, together with the only railway in Lithuania, is not mainly freight, but passenger.

Will the European railway authorities be able to re-plan rail transport for the barley of Rigavia?

Are those beer factories willing to wait for nearly half a month more freight time to change the pick-up location from the original convenient port to various freight transit railway stations?

And pay two-fifths more for the price of barley?

"Please, don't think about Barley, we still have building materials to work out. ”

"Building materials, can have daily necessities important? In the past, most of our daily necessities came in through Port Pierce, but now in a short time, where can we arrange rail transportation?"

Seeing that the parliament had a tendency to change the vegetable market, Mr. President had to pat the table and "be quiet." ”

"I know how important Port Pierce is to us. ”

"But there is already a problem at the port, and no amount of argument we have now can change the situation. ”

"Now I can tell you very seriously that Port Pierce will not be able to return to normal anytime soon. We had to do everything we could to transport our barley and building materials by rail. ”

"Even if we face a loss, it's better than letting the barley rot on the ground. ”

Someone retorted: "It's a loss, and the wheat farmer is happy?"

The president frowned, "It's not a question of being happy or not, our export economy in Rigavia has reached a precarious moment." We must work together to get through this. ”

"Mr. President, in fact, since yesterday, we have been receiving news that some beer factories in Europe are going to cancel orders for this year. ”

"Among them, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, and a few breweries that are far away from us are the most. ”

"I think we should come up with a freight compensation package for rail transport as soon as possible. ”

"Otherwise, the wrath of the wheat farmers will drown us out. ”

……

The meeting, which was as fierce and quarrelsome as the vegetable market, lasted until noon and had to be interrupted.

During lunchtime, Mr. President hid in his office to find a break.

But even if he has hidden here, he still can't stop it, and the bad news comes one after another.

First of all, after the most powerful marine construction group in the national law came to investigate, it was believed that there was only one way to save Port Pierce the fastest.

- A new port will be built next to it.

Port Pierce was completely in ruins.

The depth of the water near Port Pierce was only thirty meters, and the sunken giant ship just took up this depth, and even a small cargo ship of several thousand tons could not dock.

Today, tens of thousands of tons of concrete in the warehouse have become as hard as the port.

Demolition is not a no, not to mention that it will take at least three years and more than $400 million to $500 million in salvage costs. The shock wave from the underwater blasting alone can shake the nearby port into tofu blocks.

With this time and money, it is obviously better to rebuild a port.

Perhaps, Behemoth Industry can have a way.

As far as they know, the world's most advanced marine crane ship is a super giant ship called "Titan", which may have a lifting capacity of more than 20,000 tons. With its assistance, Marine Construction Group may not have a solution.

But given the current relationship between Rigavia and Behemoth, it is clear that rebuilding a new port is the most reliable.

The news from the European railway authorities is also very unoptimistic.

The railway authorities are currently rejecting applications for new freight train commutes in the country of Rigavia, because the railway stations in the country do not have the capacity to add new freight trains unless they renovate the railway stations.

Lithuania is also strongly opposed to this initiative.

The addition of freight trains will seriously affect their passenger and freight schedules.

There is only one railway between the two countries, and it is still a one-way non-electrified railway. It's okay to add one or two columns, but if there are more, do you want traffic in Lithuania?

Together, all this news is simply disheartening.

In the afternoon, ten minutes before the start of parliament, the president, who was silently in his office, suddenly received a call from the stationmaster of the railway station.

"Total... Mr. President, it's not good. ”

"What's wrong?" Mr. President immediately felt like the world was spinning.

Although the stationmaster has not yet said anything bad, Mr. President suddenly has a strong sense of bad premonition in his heart.

Don't......

Behemoth Industries has hit the railroad again?

This should not be possible, Mr. President prayed in his heart.

The stationmaster's voice at the railway station was full of fear, "Mr. President, half an hour ago, we received an anonymous phone call at the railway station. The man claimed to be an adventurer who loved to venture into the mountains. ”

He said that just before the call, he was making his way along the railway line between Theoli and Dauga to cross the mountain tunnel and come to our country on an expedition. ”

"Results ......"

When he crossed the tunnel, he found that the railway bridge that crossed a canyon in front of him was gone. ”

"Mr. President, the man's tone was very excited, and we suspiciously sent someone over to check it out. ”

As a result, the 30-meter-long railway bridge completely disappeared above the canyon. ”
