A major earthquake struck Messina, Italy, killing at least 60,000 people.

When Italy's rescue efforts began, the news overshadowed the Balkan War, which is now almost a dog's brain, and made headlines around the world.

Sympathy was expressed for the great harm suffered by Messina. Unlike human cannibalism, human vulnerability is exposed in the face of such natural disasters. As a result, countries donated money and materials to express their sympathy for the great losses suffered by Messina.

The governments of the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria-Hungary, the United Kingdom, France, Argentina and other countries immediately donated a large amount of disaster relief funds, of which the United States gave $2 million in aid, and four cargo ships loaded with food and medicine sailed from New York to Italy.

In addition to foreign donations, Italy also donated a lot of money and materials, in Milan, Italy's largest city, under the leadership of local celebrities and gentlemen, the people of Milan have donated money and materials to express their sympathy for the people suffering from Messina.

In Turin, the stronghold of the House of Savoy, too, a large number of enthusiastic people donated money and goods to show their love to the people of Messina.

...... in Venice

...... in Florence

...... in Rome

People all over Italy have donated money and materials to help the victims of the earthquake in Messina. Although there is a government promotion and media guidance, it is enough to show the Italian people's love for the affected compatriots.

According to the statistics after the incident, in this wave of concern for the victims of the earthquake in Messina, Italy received a total of 570 million lira in donations of funds and materials at home and abroad, including 190 million lire abroad and 380 million lira in China.

There has been a lot of generosity at home and abroad for the people affected by the disaster in Messina, and of course the people who have been affected by the disaster are also trying to save themselves.

As the hardest-hit area this time, Messina is already starting to save itself.

"Ding, ding, ding!"

"There's a knock here, and there's a living person down there."

A search and rescue soldier shouted after making sure he heard a noise coming from the rubble.

With his call, a dozen rescuers quickly gathered. Some of these people are wearing military uniforms, and they know that they are soldiers at a glance, and there are also volunteers who wear civilian clothes.

"Is there anyone down there, make a noise and let us determine your location."

Someone in the rescue team shouted into the rubble to determine the location of the person who needed to be rescued.

"Ding, ding, ding!"

There was a knocking sound from inside the ruins, allowing everyone to quickly determine their location.

"Right here, dig up."

As the words fell, the rescue team immediately began to move the collapsed bricks and tiles on them. Small pieces can be moved by one person, and large pieces need to be moved together, but it seems that this rescue team is quite skilled, and it can move quickly under the division of labor.

"See people."

Suddenly, a member of the team exclaimed, only to see through the gap in the bricks, clearly see a woman pressed underneath, but fortunately there is a table above her, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable.

Seeing the people, the rescue team became more motivated, and it didn't take long to dig out the woman. A pair of large scarred hands put the woman on a stretcher, during which the rescue team fed her some water and some sugar.

She will then be taken to a nearby medical center, where she will be watched by doctors and nurses, who she is sure will be able to recover soon.

Looking at the non-stop busy rescue team, the new mayor of Ávila in Messina, watched the non-stop busy rescue team from a distance.

"Tell the rescue team that the search and rescue will take another three days, and then you will need to prepare to clean up the rubble."

"Okay mayor, I'll let the rescue team know in a moment."

The secretary took a pen and paper and recorded his orders.

"Also, send a telegram to Rome asking for another 5,000 tents, 20,000 sets of raincoats and rain boots, and we don't have enough engineering equipment, and we need help."

Faced with Avila's detailed list, the secretary quickly completed the writing. "Mayor, you see if what I wrote is correct, if it does, then I will send a telegram to Rome immediately."

"It's feasible, let's send it."

After some inspection, Ávila returned it to the secretary.

When the secretary left, Avila looked at Messina, which was full of ruins. He, the newly appointed mayor of Messina, was the replacement of Mayor Barorric, who was killed in the earthquake. Prior to that, Avila held the positions of Deputy Mayor and Mayor of Barletta and Cagliari. His performance is recognized by his peers and superiors, and he is known as an outstanding officer with responsibility.

And now in Messina, the mayor of Ávila is not only in charge of people's livelihood and the work of the government. Because of the special situation in Messina, he also served as the local commander of Messina, so it can be said that the military and civilians currently in Messina are under his control, and it can be said that Rome has given enough power.

And Ávila lived up to expectations, although he had only been in office for less than five days, but he had already given enough confidence to the survivors of Messina. Messina took this mess and was cleaned up by Avila.

That's right, what would seem like a mess to a mediocre official is a great opportunity for someone as capable as Ávila. In Rome, Avila also beat several competitors to grab this position.

Because as long as you make excellent results at such a critical time, it will definitely be ten times better than usual, because this can leave a deep impression in the hearts of the big guys. This is very important for a motivated official.

Of course, if you want to come up with excellent and eye-catching results, then you must be able to do it easily, otherwise you won't be able to get this result.

It is necessary to add here that, according to official statistics, 80,000 people died in the earthquake and tsunami in Messina, and the damage suffered is not insignificant. In addition to the loss of human life, 95% of the buildings in the city of Messina collapsed in this earthquake, and even if they did not collapse, most of them became dilapidated buildings, and now it can be said that Messina can start again in a different place.

But even so, as the mayor, Avila has his own ideas, and he doesn't just think about disaster relief, and then make Messina better, which is just as important to him. But he needs a little time to refine the plan in his mind.

Messina, led by the mayor of Ávila, is saving itself. The same is true for the other affected areas of Italy, although Messina is severely affected.

Of course, Rome is also dealing with the disaster caused by this earthquake. For now, however, the most important response is the allocation of funds.

Speaking of the problem of funds, then in Rome for the next funds to stay, the ministers are not very comfortable.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you should also know the damage caused by the earthquake in Messina. According to current statistics, in the earthquake in Messina, 116,000 people died, 32,000 were injured, more than 80,000 houses collapsed, nearly 800,000 people were left homeless, and direct economic losses were 5 billion lira. ”

This series of heavy numbers made the ministers present uncomfortable. Experienced ministers think more at this time, the damage caused by the earthquake is so large, then it is necessary to open up sources and reduce expenditures next, and lick the wounds caused by this earthquake.

Sure enough, after Brugg, the Minister of the Interior, had finished reporting the damage, he saw the king speak. "Since this earthquake has caused such huge losses to the people of the kingdom, what is the government's response to it?"

In the face of the king's questioning, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Aldini, stepped forward and spoke. "Your Majesty, in view of the damage caused by the disaster, our Ministry of Finance is preparing to issue a batch of government bonds worth one billion lira for post-disaster relief and reconstruction work."

Although the loss caused by the disaster was 5 billion lira, with 1 billion lira as the basis of the national debt, it is believed that the losses suffered can be somewhat compensated, and it is believed that this will contribute to the peace and stability of the affected areas.

After the Chancellor of the Exchequer finished speaking, Carlo looked at the Prime Minister.

Facing the king's gaze, of course Cruz knew what he meant, only to see him speak. "In view of the current need to rebuild after the earthquake in Messina, the national debt of this billion lire alone is somewhat tight, and the government needs to reduce other expenditures to pave the way for disaster relief. So I decided that the government, on its part, needed to cut its spending by 180 million lira and use it for disaster relief. ”

Prime Minister Cruz's words made the ministers a little uncomfortable, which requires squeezing out 180 million lira from various departments, which is really not a small amount, and it is really difficult to squeeze this money without some rectification. However, according to Prime Minister Cruz's style, needless to say, he will not rest on his laurels if he does not let the various departments squeeze out 180 million lira.

And after the prime minister finished speaking, the two ministers of the military who are the most uncomfortable at present. Because since the government has made a statement, then the military must not be left behind.

"I want to ......"

……

After a fierce confrontation, the navy and army finally decided to squeeze out 70 million lire of funds for disaster relief. Being able to get money from the military is also considering that the damage from this earthquake is too great, and the government has paid for it, so how can the military not pay it.

With this squeezed out of the funds, plus the money from the issuance of government bonds, the people affected by the earthquake can also receive some living subsidies from the government.

Of course, there is a lot of work to be done, and the next step is to work together from all levels of the government.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
