Chapter 107: Nuclear Disaster and the Federation

The total number of nuclear bombs in the countries of Blue Star is about 14,000.

The number of nuclear bombs in the Star Alliance and the Rakshasa Empire is not less than six thousand, and it can be said that the nuclear bombs of the two countries together account for more than ninety percent of the total number of nuclear bombs in the Blue Star.

However, most of the nuclear bombs are in a state of reserve or mothball, and only about a quarter of the nuclear bombs are deployed and can be launched in a short time.

On May 16, 116 years of the Tianxia calendar, the global nuclear disaster caused by the first nuclear bomb launched by the Star Alliance, and finally 4,044 nuclear bombs exploded.

And under the tacit understanding of the white world, nearly half of the nuclear bombs, that is, a total of 2016 nuclear bombs, were exploded in the territory of the Federation.

These nuclear bombs are basically aimed at the federal heritage.

The industrial base of the entire federation is not completely destroyed, but the precision industry has almost been uprooted.

But industry is a trivial matter, and the real fatal lies in agriculture and transportation.

The destruction of transport hubs has left many places in isolation, and it is almost impossible for them to carry out large-scale material exchanges with other places for the foreseeable period of time.

In other words, many Dao realms were forced to become self-reliant, and they had to find a way to solve what they lacked. But even if there is anything else, the problem of food shortage is truly unsolvable.

The corpse disaster has already led to the sudden suspension of agricultural production activities in various places, and the radiation problem after the nuclear disaster has made it even if they barely maintain this year's agricultural production, the radiation content of the grain produced exceeds the standard, and normal people may not dare to eat it.

If you dare not eat new grain, or even have no new grain at all, you have to rely on old grain reserves.

Although all provinces of the federation have strategic grain reserves, after counting the private commercial granary grain depots, there must still be more old grain reserves in the grain-producing regions and fewer old grain reserves in the grain-deficient regions.

In the face of the corpse disaster, the federation relies on its strong national mobilization ability and the federal army that is not afraid of sacrifice, which can not only stabilize the order at the grassroots level of the federation from completely collapsing, but also even quell the corpse disaster is just around the corner.

But after the nuclear disaster, everything changed.

The nuclear disaster has shattered the hopes of many Federation survivors that the death of the corpse disaster is just around the corner, and many survivors have a mental breakdown under the discouragement, and then turn into living corpses under the great ups and downs of the spirit.

The hidden dangers of the shelter mechanism exploded in an instant.

Due to the unguardable and sudden nature of the mutation of living corpses, there is a possibility that living corpses may suddenly appear within the survivors. If it was just a few living corpses, there was still hope that the situation could be controlled.

However, if there is a large-scale mutation of living corpses, it is easy to trigger a collective panic situation similar to the ancient "bombing camp", which in turn causes other survivors to also mutate into living corpses under the fright.

Mainly those shelters that are relatively close to the site of the nuclear disaster.

If you are far away and do not have much real sense of the nuclear explosion, even if you find the mushroom cloud, the survivors are more "surprised" than "frightened".

This was not the case with the nearby shelters, where at least eight out of ten people were stunned and panicked after the earth-shattering explosion. At such a time, if there are living corpses inside, which detonates everyone's panic, it is easy to "blow up the camp", causing a chain reaction, and a bunch of new living corpses appear.

The corpse disaster, which had been almost contained, made waves again.

The order that had been maintained in many places collapsed in one fell swoop.

The collapse of order, the severance of transportation, and the lack of resources have completely reduced the control of the Federal Senate over various realms to the freezing point.

Even if the refuge in various places is still honored by the Federation for the time being, in fact, all the senators who survived the Senate know that the era of belonging to the Senate has officially passed.

Even though the Federation will still be a Federation in the future, the senators can no longer be the senators.

Ten families, ten elders.

After the corpse disaster, he became the Seven Elders.

After the nuclear disaster, there were only five elders left, namely the Great Elder, the Third Elder, the Fourth Elder, the Seventh Elder, and the Eighth Elder.

The Grand Patriarch said: "Although it is not our fault that the Federation has fallen to this point, we are sinners after all. ”

A corpse disaster can be regarded as a natural disaster, while a nuclear disaster is a man-made disaster. But neither a corpse disaster nor a nuclear disaster is what the Federation wants.

The Federation pursues peaceful development, and as long as it develops peacefully for a few more decades, the Federation's national strength will be able to become the first in the Blue Star and restore the international status of the ancient Celestial Empire again.

What's more, the Star Alliance, which was almost crushed by the corpse disaster, had to drag the Federation into the water when it was about to capsize.

"If I were twenty years younger, I would have tried to learn from the founding fathers of the country as a guilty person, and turn the tide and rebuild order in the chaotic times when order collapsed. However, I'm old and exposed to radiation, and I don't know if I'll survive this year. The Grand Patriarch's tone was a little complicated.

But what he said was impossible to do. According to the federal system, those who can enter the Senate and become senators are basically over sixty years old - if the senior senator is twenty years younger, he cannot be a senator.

If it encounters a conventional war, these sixty or seventy-year-old senators in the Senate may not be considered old, but in the face of a corpse disaster and a nuclear disaster, they can't accept old age if they want to.

Moreover, in the current situation, even if the position of the patriarch is passed on to his son or student son-in-law, it is difficult for the new patriarch with insufficient qualifications to be recognized by the local government and the military.

The elder closed his eyes, took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and said solemnly: "We can die, but the federation cannot die; The Federation can die, but Tianxia can't die. Therefore, I want to take the initiative to reform the system, divide the borders, and officially resume the post of state pastor. ”

The position of state pastor is both military and political. If you really want to say it, it is not much different from the throne of the feudal lord, which has been abolished for nearly 2,000 years.

After the outbreak of the corpse disaster, the federation granted autonomy to each province to fight disasters, and allowed the prefects of each province to concurrently serve as state pastors and control the right to mobilize troops and horses. But that's just a part-time job, just a temporary one. Now, however, he is planning to officially resume his position as state pastor.

As for the position of vassal king, it is impossible for the federation to be restored even if it is changed from a parliamentary system to a feudal system.

No matter what happens in the future, among the state pastors, they can barely maintain the banner of the Tianxia Federation without losing it.

However, if the name of the vassal king is given, even if the substance is not very different, some young people can easily fall into unnecessary disputes because they can't see through the false name.

For this possibility, the Senate still wants to avoid it as much as possible.

"As for the federal legal system, I don't have to keep the old guys to remember, so I will step down and leave the legal system to the young people."

"When the time comes, inform those state pastors that those who first calm down a realm and restore civilized order will be the elders."

The Grand Patriarch looked solemnly at the camera.

This emergency meeting between the elders was a video conference. And what the elders said was actually one of the contingency plans discussed by the elders a while ago.

What should be discussed has been discussed during the previous planning period.

So this will, with a few sighs, the three, four, seven, and eight elders spoke one after another:

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."
