Chapter 256: The Great Storm

When Nanyang became more and more nervous because of the large-scale exercises of the Ming Dynasty. The city of Mingjing, which www.biquge.info the Ming Dynasty, has also experienced an unprecedented storm.

This is because the city of Mingjing is close to the sea and has an equatorial oceanic climate. There is only the rainy and dry seasons of the year. From May to September, there is little precipitation and is the dry season. When the rainy season comes, precipitation is frequent. Especially from December to March, it rains almost all day of the day, and the humidity exceeds 70%. Not only are thunderstorms frequent, but tropical storms also make landfall.

Therefore, when the capital was set, the Ming cabinet quarreled over this matter. However, considering that it is very close to Nanyang and the southern provinces of the Ming Dynasty, it is also at an appropriate distance. And this place is the earliest place of the Ming Dynasty, so it put aside the unfavorable factors of thunderstorms and tropical storms, and set the capital here.

At this time, more than 50,000 people were placed in the National Stadium. Listen to the crackling sound of the steel building under the storm. No one here dared to speak out. This makes the huge gymnasium a little eerily quiet.

In fact, the people are also afraid, after all, the storm outside is too evil. made many people who had just run in a little afraid. Listening to the wind now, I can't help but worry. Afraid that one is not good, the gymnasium will be blown away by the strong wind.

Gao Ming stood on the VIP stage, his whole body soaked with rain. That look, it doesn't look embarrassing. The guard on the side, still holding clean clothes, wanted to ask him to change into. However, Gao Ming couldn't take care of himself, only looked at the worried expressions of the people, and felt anxious.

Because he didn't know how much damage the storm would bring to Mingjing City, and how many casualties would be caused. But just listening to this rumor, we know that the losses will never be low, and the casualties will never be less.

This reminded him of the storm recorded in the high-level materials of the Ming Dynasty. That was later in 1974, when Typhoon Triz made landfall in Darwin Harbour, destroying more than 70% of the city's buildings and forcing 30,000 people to be evacuated.

After the storm, the whole city was almost rebuilt.

Now this 'Spring Dawn' storm seems to have surpassed 'Cuisi'. Because before 'Spring Dawn' landed in Mingjing City, the climate in Mingjing was extremely abnormal. For five days, the rain continued. From morning to night, there is basically no time to stop.

Although it is the rainy season, it is usually a year. Mingjing will not rain so many days in a row, and he will not stop breathing.

As a result, the river water in Mingjing City has skyrocketed, and several major rivers have also experienced floods one after another. Take the Qingshui River in Mingjing as an example, the river has overflowed the river, turning the neighborhoods on both sides into a vast ocean. The deepest part of the water can reach up to three meters.

Republic Square, the largest in the city of Meikyo, was also flooded into a lake. The presidential palace, which symbolizes the supreme power of the Ming Dynasty, has also been surrounded into an island. If it weren't for the fact that the foundation of the Presidential Palace was laid very high when it was being built, it is estimated that it would inevitably be submerged.

Not only that, but there are also surprisingly many thunderstorms during heavy rains. Incidents of fires and injuries caused by thunderstorms are endless. made Mingjing City, which was already plagued by floods, another layer of trouble.

At this time, Daming organized the police and military forces of Mingjing City overnight and devoted themselves to the intense disaster relief operation. Even the exercise plan, codenamed 'Guarding Mingjing', was interrupted by a sudden flood.

At this moment, Typhoon Chunxiao made landfall without warning. As soon as they landed, the downpour was made more powerful. The torrential rain fell as if the sky had been pierced. In the form of a waterfall, it smashed into the ground with a head and face.

It is also that the level of science and technology in this era is too low, and the conditions are too simple. The meteorological department also does not have the ability to observe and monitor weather changes around the clock. Due to heavy rain and bad weather, sailing at sea has been completely suspended, and there are no ships to warn in advance, indicating that a typhoon is approaching.

So under the cover of the storm, the whereabouts of Typhoon 'Chunxiao' were perfectly hidden.

Gao Ming was directing disaster relief in the New South District at the time. In order to improve the efficiency of disaster relief, the cabinet divided it into districts, and put Gao Ming in charge of it. At that time, he was directing the police and officers and soldiers to move the people to government offices such as gymnasiums, schools, and offices, which were built more firmly and on higher ground.

As a result, as soon as the typhoon came, the wind blew violently in an instant. The already gloomy sky suddenly became dark. As the people screamed, the street trees planted on both sides of the street were easily uprooted by the wind like weeds. The heavy billboards, like pieces of paper, were lifted lightly. Some residential buildings are upstairs, with tiled sunshade roofs. It was even more like rubbing mahjong, and it was suddenly pushed down. And then another one of them was swept away.

As for the carriages parked on the road and the sundries, they were carried away by the strong wind.

And the people on the streets, whether they are police, officers and soldiers, or ordinary people. In the face of typhoons, they are all treated equally. Frightened, people hurriedly looked for a place to hide. If you are a little slower, you will either be blown away by the strong wind or injured by the debris flying all over the sky.

In order to protect Gao Ming's safety, officers and soldiers also joined hands to form a human wall. Sent him to the gymnasium with difficulty. It is also close, and if it is far away, this road will also become his Hades Road.

Because when sending him off, several officers and soldiers had accidents. The most tragic thing was that the five officers and soldiers who were holding his hand were smashed into a puddle of meat by the flying carriage. It was also the officer and soldier who let go quickly, otherwise he would definitely be caught up in it, and he would be injured if he didn't die.

Now that he thinks about it, he still has some lingering feelings. As a result, as soon as he closed his eyes, the miserable deaths of those officers and soldiers flashed in his mind, and his heart was even more panicked.

However, he still endured the discomfort in his heart and used a loudspeaker. soothed the people's panic and told them that it was safe here, and the Ming government would always be with them.

When he said this, he was still worried about the situation in the outside world.

And in the Hope Zone, this is the area closest to the sea in Meikyo, so the first landing place of the typhoon is here. And because there are many rivers, all rivers will eventually pass through here and join the sea. So the Hope Zone is the area most affected by the floods. After the typhoon came, 80 percent of the buildings in the area were submerged in water.

Fortunately, most of the people were evacuated to the western part of the Linbei District, so there were not many casualties when the typhoon raged in the Hope District.

However, it is the earliest developed and the most economically developed, and it is the most prosperous jurisdiction in Mingjing. As a result, the loss suffered the most in terms of property.

Now by the sea in the Hope District, in a certain residential building, Zhao Teng, Zhang Xiaojun, and Wang Xiaoqiang are standing on the top floor of the residential building with worried faces. Looking at the turbulent sea thousands of kilometers away, the sky with lightning and thunder, they all pursed their lips and couldn't speak. (To be continued.) )
