The only railway bridge across the mountains is gone.

Two hours later, Mr. President and the people at the railway station stood on the side of the cliff like a flock of quails.

Two kilometres further up the cliff is the mountain tunnel that connects Lithuania to the outside world.

This railway bridge, which was built in the 80s and has a history of almost 40 years, is just gone?

"The bridge... Where's the bridge?" Mr. President's eyes were bloodshot.

"I don't know!" the stationmaster shivered in the wind.

This railway bridge is also a product of the collapse of the Soviet Union, when the state of Rigavia was still in the arms of the Soviet Union, and the construction of this railway was carried out by the Soviet railway industry, from technology to capital, without any money to the state of Rigavia.

The Soviet Union used a 1524 mm wide gauge at that time, while the European one had a 1435 mm standard gauge.

When Rigavia was first embraced by Europe, many people complained that their railways were not interconnected with Europe, and that it would take time to change the wheels to drive a train.

Well, now, the train doesn't have to run anymore.

"After the port, it's the railroad again. Mr. President pointed to the empty canyon and trembled: "This must have been done by the Behemoth Industry, they stole the railway bridge." ”

"Check, immediately send someone to the canyon to investigate. ”

"I don't believe that the Behemoth Industry will do magic to make this railway bridge disappear, and they will definitely leave evidence. ”

This is a steel structure railway bridge, the main body of the bridge is steel, and below it is a pier more than 20 meters high that goes deep into the canyon.

If it is said that the steel bridge was stolen, it is understandable.

The bridge body is a spliced structure, and the bridge body can be disassembled with professional tools, but where are the six bridge piers in the canyon?

One by one, the railway station staff indignantly followed the winding path down to the bottom of the canyon. As a result, they searched and searched, but they couldn't find anything related to the railway bridge. The piers are gone, and even the area around the original piers has been piled with rubble.

Then they felt that the rubble was a bit abnormal, and the shape was a little wrong.

Upon inspection, they found that the rubble was the concrete fragments of the bridge piers.

It stands to reason that the piers will not only have concrete, but also a large number of steel bars as support. They rummaged through the pieces of concrete, but they couldn't find even finger-length steel bars.

Tear down a railway bridge just to steal steel bars?

That afternoon, Mr. President called the office of the president of Behemoth Industries no less than five times in a row.

Every time, the assistant to the president, who had a beautiful voice, would only repeat one sentence, "Mr. President, if you don't have evidence, please don't use such ridiculous things to slander an excellent company with a sense of social responsibility." ”

"You must have done it, you are taking revenge. We, Rigavia, will never leave it like this......"

Every time Mr. President didn't finish his cruel words, he would get the sound of the other party hanging up the line and being busy.

When he got to the back, he couldn't even get through on the phone.

Alarm?

He is the president of Rigavia, and he will lead the investigation in the end after calling the police.

After stopping all trains in and out of Rigavia, Mr. President had to seek help from the European railway authorities.

Rebuilding a railway bridge?

No problem, there is no technical difficulty with a railway bridge with a span of 30 meters. The construction fund is 50 million US dollars, and the construction period is one year.

Europe is a capitalist society, and as long as you have money, you can build as many railway bridges as you want.

If you don't have any money......

As for Rigavia's claim that the Behemoth Industry stole the railway bridge, the European railway authorities were in a difficult position. This piece of mental evidence is indeed the most suspicious of the giant beast industry.

There has to be evidence for such a thing.

Tearing down a railway bridge overnight is unbelievable.

So Rigavia can hurry along the railway line and look for evidence.

The other party must have transported the bridge body and pier reinforcement of this railway bridge by train transportation, and the evidence should not be difficult to find.

……

Rigavia is cold.

The next day, the news of the disappearance of the railway bridge connecting the outside world reached the outside world, and almost all beer factories and construction companies chose to terminate their cooperation agreements with Rigavia.

Business is such a reality, and they regret that Rigavia has suffered such misfortune.

But if the contract can't be terminated, it will be a misfortune for both people.

At today's regular meeting of the European Union, delegates from various countries also had a detailed discussion about the lost railway bridge in Rigavia.

In the end, they agreed that the railway bridge was demolished by Behemoth Industries.

Overnight, it was not difficult to dismantle the bridge body, but it was difficult to dismantle the piers, and it was even more difficult to transport the steel away without knowing it.

They suspected that Behemoth Industries had leased a train, but after a detailed investigation of the train attendance records of the surrounding countries, they could not find any trace of the train.

Some things don't need evidence, and no matter how well the Behemoth Industry does, it doesn't prevent him from becoming the biggest suspect.

At the meeting, several small countries were not accustomed to the unscrupulous and hegemonic behavior of the giant beast industry, and jointly called on several large countries to launch sanctions against the giant beast industry.

"It happened to Rigavia, but Rigavia is also part of the European Union. ”

"Business cooperation has always been about eternal interests, and it is right for Rigavia to tear up the treaty beforehand, but they also consider it from the perspective of interests, which is very common in business cooperation. ”

"Who can guarantee that what happened in Rigavia will not befall us one day?"

"Not satisfied with the blockade of the port, the Behemoth Industry even demolished the only external railway in Rigavia. If we are indifferent, it will only be chilled by other small countries and feel that we in the EU are paper tigers. ”

The small countries wanted to impose sanctions on the Behemoth industry, and the Rigavian representatives kept crying that the Behemoth industry had ruined all their import and export trade, and had dealt a devastating blow to the Rigavian economy. If none of this does anything about the Behemoth industry, then what is the point of the EU's existence?

Again.

Even large countries like Germany and France cannot ignore the opinions of those small countries.

In addition, Rigavia has indeed been rectified a little miserably, and within a year or two, the import and export trade will not recover at all.

So at the end of the meeting, the countries agreed on the same opinion.

Led by Rigavia and supported by other countries, an ultimatum was launched against the Behemoth industry.

Stealing the railway bridge is not good to take out the matter without evidence, and the cargo ship that sank in the port can't be relied on.

In the afternoon of the same day, Rigavia issued an ultimatum to Behemoth Industries.

The ultimatum demanded that Behemoth Industries pay $500 million in damages to ports and imports and exports. If it refuses to perform, EU member states will raise import tariffs on Phantom mobile phones according to the agreement.

The ultimatum was formalized by the European Union's business authorities, and it required Behemoth to respond within three days.
