Chapter 178: Preparation

In order to avoid war, the pope did not hesitate to anger the people. Participated in the coup d'Γ©tat in Rune, which would lead to a high degree of disgust and estrangement among Rune's upper echelons towards the church.

But it's worth the risk compared to a war that could be lost.

And the other party's extra weight is exactly what the church needs.

Now that the plan has failed, the Pope will probably try another option. And is this war coming in time?

The sunlight shines through the head-sized windows, and dust flies in the air. Gradually, the weather became gloomy, but it didn't rain until midnight.

This made the Imperial Capital Celestial Room slowly uneasy, which was the rhythm of the torrential rain. Or months of continuous torrential rain. Once in a century.

The planetarium quickly handed in his resignation.

Wayne also received his resignation, and Wayne ordered all localities to prepare for disasters that night. At the same time, a large number of materials were mobilized to hoard in the imperial capital, while providing disaster relief after the disaster.

Of course, it was said in the resignation of the planetarium, and it is not very certain. There is only a certain probability.

If it's true, it will cost Wayne his life. Now Wayne is reforming Creon, and the Papal States and Ortuno may be in the city.

According to past experience, more than 20 cities were affected by the disaster, including the imperial capital. The number of people affected could be as high as five million!

Things often take the worst to the worst, after a day of grey weather. On the night when the clouds obscured the moon and the stars, the raindrops of beans hit the ground.

Without waiting for Hinderson, Wayne was awakened by the raindrops.

After getting up, Wayne quickly went to the palace and gathered various nobles and the imperial capital's own subordinates.

The news of the possibility of heavy rain had reached the ears of the nobles the day before, and they were also awakened as soon as they heard the rain. Before the notice arrived, I hurried to the palace.

Many people have wet heads, and Wayne is no exception.

"Now the rainstorm is really coming, and according to the planetarium, this rainstorm is once in a hundred years and may last for several months. ”

Almost all of this information is known, and Wayne is just the beginning.

"Without further ado, now that the rainstorm is coming, many things are going to change. ”

Duke Langton was the first to stand up and speak.

"Now that the emperor is experiencing heavy rain, Ortuno must have received the news, and the possibility of them attacking this time will definitely be greatly improved. I'm afraid it's hard for a Dragon's Breath Legion to resist. ”

Wayne said.

"Then send the Iron Shield Legion over, and the remaining two legions need to maintain order in the disaster area. When the time comes, there will definitely be people who take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos. And the Legion is also going to help with disaster relief. Surely not so many troops will be sent. ”

Jonathan stepped forward and said.

"Even with the two legions plus the army of our two archdukes, it seems that it will be difficult to resist the legions of Ortunno. In the past ten years, they have been fighting hard and sharpening their knives. A fight is not a half-thing that will be withdrawn after two touches. ”

"I have given word to Nolan's Iron Fist to attack Ortuno from the northwest. ”

"But then there is a piece of Viscount Peck's territory separated from Ortunno, will he let you go, it seems that the grudge between you is not small. ”

Wayne knew that Jonathan was referring to the Battle of the Northwest, and he was scared of them at once.

"Don't worry, Duke Jonathan, if Peck doesn't let the Iron Fist Army pass, I have given an order to Bessen to directly penetrate Viscount Peck's territory if necessary. ”

Wayne's words let everyone see Wayne's decisive and ruthless side. I couldn't help but be slightly touched.

"Okay, let's talk about disaster relief now. The first is food, and the continuous heavy rains will destroy many roads, and food will not be brought in at all. The cities around the imperial capital did not have much farmland, and there was not much grain in storage. And we have five million people! What's more, it's not easy to store food on rainy days. It is very easy to get moldy. So we're going to store it according to three times the amount of grain. ”

Jonathan said.

"It's not raining yet, and we can transport grain. ”

Colon said.

"Where is there so much food now? ”

"Military rations. ”

Wayne said that the food of the Falcon Legion was not far away, and it was about the same for two days. ”

"But we have five million people, is that enough food?"

"Something is better than nothing. ”

"Let me take a stand first, my Nils family will first support 5.3 million riyals of food. ”

Count Boris said.

"Count Nils, my territory already has little grain production, and there is a famine in a place recently where this year's harvest is not good. It's hard to support the Imperial Capital like you do. ”

Boris's territory produces little, but it is rich every year, and this year's famine is not serious at all. It's obvious that Bori doesn't want to help!

The Count of Cologne followed, as did the other dukes.

Even Duke Mette and others, who Wayne thought were on the same side as himself, refused one after another.

Wayne is in power, even if these areas are well resettled, it is Wayne who benefits, and it is estimated that the credit will go to Wayne. Why are they doing this thankless job?

Moreover, the imperial capital is almost all Wayne's cronies, and they have long complained. Aldrin was involved in the coup d'Γ©tat, they are not and do not know. Who wants to put the neck under someone else's knife.

This time is equivalent to expressing dissatisfaction with Wayne in disguise.

As for how many people will die, it doesn't matter much about them.

For a while, everyone stood on the opposite side of Wayne.

Wayne felt that these people were unreliable, and it seemed that everything had to be on his own.

"Evans, tell Morrone that there will be big business ahead, so get him ready. ”

Wayne didn't plan to provide disaster relief on the spot, he was going to move some people out and move to Nolan. Reduce stress on yourself.

"The out-of-town areas are low-lying and have almost no drainage, so it is estimated that most of the houses will be unusable. There are exactly two walls in the imperial capital that can be opened. There are also churches, which are generally located on higher ground, and if any church refuses to open, it will be killed! ”

In fact, there is a better way, which is to open up the inner city. The inner city has a good drainage system and there is plenty of space for the victims.

But will these merchants, nobles agree to live with untouchables in their eyes?

The answer is definitely not to think about it, Wayne can hold a knife around their necks and force them to take in the victims.

But these people relied on these people to help the disaster after the rain, and Wayne annoyed them now, and it was the victims who came back to suffer.

Politics is like that, courage is useless here. The humbler the person, the farther he goes. Behind the compromise, I often think that there are many helplessness and sadness.

"The others have nothing to do, so remember to prepare food. I'll explain to Audrey. The people of the City Lord's Mansion stayed, and we needed a concrete disaster relief plan. ”
