Chapter 152: The number of people is not full
The island country is a country with little developed resource reserves, and in the construction of a modern industrial system, it relies heavily on external resources. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The communication disruption caused by this pulse storm actually caused very serious damage to it.
"We must open up the channel for the delivery of materials as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to support large-scale reconstruction with domestic reserves." The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became dull.
The prime minister looked at the crowd: "What do you have to do?" ”
The Minister of Economic Revitalization was puzzled: "We should re-establish sea links with Southeast Asia, but according to the information we have received, there are some problems on their side, and I am afraid that they will not be able to organize effective production in a short time." ”
After hearing this, the prime minister frowned: "What about Australia, can't the iron ore be shipped back?" ”
Now that the world has entered the era of large-scale nuclear fusion construction, the dependence on oil for energy has greatly decreased, but the demand for steel from the supply of iron ore has not weakened.
"For a while, there really is no way!" The Minister of Economic Revitalization sighed.
In recent decades, the demand for iron ore has been increasing day by day, but strangely the price of iron ore has been declining, and so much iron ore has emerged out of nowhere, which has directly led to the dilemma of priceless iron ore suppliers in Australia and Brazil.
As soon as the pulse storm came, many large mining equipment failed, which made it even worse for them, and it was impossible to start construction in the short term.
When the Council of Ministers came to this, they couldn't help but fall into silence.
As the days passed, the evacuation was proceeding in an orderly manner.
As more and more people evacuated to the Earth Fleet, Zhou Chen should have felt happy, but at this moment he didn't have the slightest joy.
The reason is very simple, paper can't contain the fire after all, although the evacuation of the six major powers was carried out in a very orderly manner, it can be said that the pulse storm was done as quietly as possible, but the wise man has a thousand thoughts, there must be a mistake, and the European side is the first to have an accident.
To be exact, it was the UK where there was a bad pool.
Britain is worthy of being a country composed of gentlemen, and their methods of doing things are like their national character and cultural business cards, full of leisure and romance, and the tidbits that are significantly over-embellished, a simple thing that needs to be done decisively, has become a world-class multiple-choice question in the hands of gentlemen.
In Zhou Chen's opinion, since it is time for life and death, even if he takes off his gorgeous coat to reveal his hairy body and become a wild man who drinks blood, he will not hesitate.
But the gentlemen told everyone with their actions that no, they should behave elegantly, and that they should not forget to drink afternoon tea, even in the most urgent moments.
Of course, this statement seems to be a bit excessive, in fact, the British are indeed not lazy and calm to the extent that they still have leisure and elegance to drink afternoon tea, but it is undeniable that when something comes to their hands, the result of evolution does become a little speechless.
I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, I'm afraid of pig-like teammates, in short, because of one reason or another, the news finally leaked out.
The news that six of the most powerful countries on earth were urgently evacuating soon spread throughout Europe and the whole world, but almost all countries that had restored communications received the news.
Originally, everyone felt a little strange that they could not contact the six major countries, but with the spread of the "rumors", everyone quickly had an idea in their hearts, and basically believed the content of the rumors.
"Do you think this news is true?" At the national political meeting of a certain country, the leader asked with a cautious face.
In response to him, there was silence in the audience.
After an in-depth investigation of the land forces of a large country in Central Asia close to China and Russia, they did find that there was an unusual movement in the two neighboring countries.
In Europe, news is constantly being transmitted through observation posts on the border, and the whole European society shuddered.
At this moment, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is furious in his office, but there is no way, no matter how many vases he smashes, it is useless.
Germany and France were also shot while lying down, and they originally bordered other European countries, and it was not easy to keep secrets during the evacuation, but now it is good, just when they are making the evacuation work impressive, the British side "leaked".
So the pressure from the neighboring countries came over at once.
Although China, the United States, and Russia have large populations, fortunately, their vast borders are mostly precipitous, and the possibility of leaking secrets is much smaller.
But with the collapse of Europe, it is clear that the three major powers on this side will not be able to single themselves out.
In the East China Sea, a freighter from an island nation slowly crossed the median line and entered China's territorial waters.
This is a ship ready to find out, because of the pulse storm, the island nation has to use the oldest freighter to carry out this mission, and the ship came with several fighters that escaped due to mothballing, and these fighters have already taken the first step and flew towards the coastline of the mainland.
"Dididi!" Thinking that he had already invaded the opponent's airspace and was at risk of being shot down at any time, he immediately turned around and began to return, and fed back the news that there was still military force on the mainland.
When the warships sailing in the East China Sea learned the news, they immediately turned around and began to retreat.
On the U.S. side, on the border with Mexico, several drug lords are preparing to make a fortune by taking advantage of the "problematic" communications in the United States, but when they come to the U.S. side through the secret passage underground, they see soldiers transporting people away at gunpoint...... It's like escaping the famine.
The Mexican uncles were stunned, the news spread, and the whole world quickly confirmed the plan of action of the six countries.
At this time, the countries that have fallen into internal chaos because of the pulse storm have become polarized, and some have become more chaotic, one by one, as if the end of the world is coming, venting their fears to the fullest; Some of them don't have the mind to mess up anymore, and they have a common window of firepower, that is, to put pressure on the six major powers.
"Greedy and shameless, they took possession of the fertile land given by Allah, but when the enemy was about to come, the cowardly and despicable chose to surrender without a fight, and they forsook the gift of Allah and chose to flee!"
At the foot of the holy city of Mecca, an old man with a white beard shouted loudly, and a crowd of young people around him chanted along with him.
In their view, even if they die in battle, they cannot simply abandon the land given by Allah, the "One True Lord".
Therefore, the six countries that chose to withdraw are undoubtedly cowardly and despicable.
"What now?" Zhou Chen looked at the core backbone of the Earth Fleet and frowned slightly.
In this, the British Prime Minister and now a member of the Civil Administration Council Upton looked embarrassed, this disaster was caused by the United Kingdom, and he must have borne the pot.
"I think that the only way to do this is to send troops from the Earth Fleet to ensure that the evacuation proceeds normally." When he said this, his face was hot.
Zhou Chen nodded slightly, and now, he could only forcibly evacuate.
……
On July 6, 2050, the three-month evacuation finally came to an end, and the withdrawal of various countries was completed one after another, albeit with many unsatisfactory times.
"According to the final statistics, more than 1.58 billion people have been evacuated in this evacuation, including 1.04 billion people from China, 310 million people from the United States, 83 million people from Russia, 41 million people from the United Kingdom, 52.6 million people from France, and 53.87 million people from Germany."
Listening to the report of the Civil Committee, everyone attending the joint meeting nodded slightly.
The final evacuation of the six countries was only 1.58 billion, which was a bit surprising to lower than the original target of 1.6 billion.
Of the six countries, only China exceeded its evacuation target, evacuating 40 million more people than originally planned, while the others did not meet their evacuation targets.
The United States originally planned to evacuate 340 million, but in the end it withdrew only 310 million, 30 million less, and Russia also lost almost 5 million, slightly disturbed by Britain; Britain itself lost 9 million people, and France and Germany lay down guns, 3 million and 6 million less, respectively!
"Among them, China evacuated a total of 1.29 billion people to the earth, but in the end, 250 million people chose not to evacuate, and the vast majority of these people who chose not to evacuate are elderly, including a considerable number of young people."
The current President of the People's Republic of China, who is in charge of the evacuation in China, made a statement on behalf of the Chinese team. (To be continued.) )
