Chapter 506: The catastrophe that shook the world
Chapter 506: The Great Disaster that Shocks the World
The water storage capacity of Huidong Reservoir is not large, with a total reserve of only 200 million cubic meters. It also assumes the responsibility of flood control and drought resistance in the entire Huidong County. However, there is no doubt that when the reserve of these 200 million cubic meters reaches the limit, when the person in charge of the reservoir trembles with his hands and starts to open the gate to release the water, the entire Huidong County was completely boiling.
Heavy rain, pouring down, with a coverage area of only 20 square kilometers, it seems very strange, because heavy rain falls only above and around Huidong Reservoir. Once the range of 20 square kilometers is out, let alone heavy rain, there is no drizzle.
But it is obvious that no one thought too much at this time. The people of Huidong County only knew that it was raining, and Huidong Reservoir was filled with rain. The long-dried Laichun River flowed again. Although it was slightly turbid, it was flowing endlessly.
People cheered, jumped, and roared. Some people carried buckets to irrigate the farmland. Some took off their clothes and plunged into the Laichun River. They were crazily enjoying the cold river water. The women took out clothes that the whole family had not washed for a long time. The children chased and played along the banks of the Laichun River...
The heavy rain stopped and lasted for three hours. The downpour not only made the Laichun River flow again, but also brought the water level of the entire Huidong Reservoir to above the cordon. If nothing unexpected happens, the rain will help the entire Huidong County to survive this drought safely. Nothing can make people feel more joyful than such a result.
Standing on the river bank and looking at the turbid river water passing by, Zhou Chuanzhen's face showed a look of surprise. He watched the rain clouds in the sky dissipate rapidly, and intuition told him that this matter might be artificial, but... at his level, he could not touch the mysterious world at all. Although he thought that it might be artificial, for scientific reasons, he shook his head and rejected his guess.
"Unless, there are really gods in this world, God." He bent his knees and squatted down, reached out and gently brushed across the cold river water. Zhou Chuanzhen said secretly in his heart.
Ye Yangcheng, who is busy solving the severe drought and floods, did not know that while he was busy doing these things, a conference room in the White House in the United States was lifeless and full of complacent cabinet members, now they look at me and I look at you and the word silence is fully displayed, and no one knows what they should say now.
In order to regain control of the Okinawa Islands, under tremendous pressure, they dispatched hundreds of various aircraft, more than 40,000 army, navy, and air soldiers, and made sufficient preparations. In their opinion, such a complete plan and such sufficient preparations, even if the deep-sea monsters entrenched near the Okinawa Islands cannot be destroyed, they should be able to gain a foothold in the Okinawa Islands, right?
However, the development of things was far from their original expectations. At the beginning, all plans went very smoothly, and the entire plan was successfully rolled out step by step. Logically speaking, even if the plan was completely rolled out, even if they could not win, they would at least stand in an unbeaten situation.
But the fact is that the Chinese government's tough attitude forced them to release a large number of Chinese citizens imprisoned before they found the murderer, and watched these Chinese people take off on military and civilian planes dispatched by the Chinese government and leave the Okinawa Islands.
When all the Chinese citizens who were imprisoned were released and evacuated from the Okinawa Islands, bad news came one after another, first of all, the patrol fighter plane was hit by ascension and crashed directly.
At the beginning, they thought it was just an accident, but in less than ten minutes, more and more fighter jets were attacked by suicides by birds, and more and more fighter jets crashed directly. Until ten minutes later, all the fighter jets that took off were killed collectively, and none of them escaped the fate of the crash.
At this time, even the stupidest people knew that this was a man-made result, but in the United States, they could only stare at the reports that were constantly being sent back. When the fighter plane crashed, when the helicopter crashed, when the warship crashed, when the warship sank, even the fighter plane parked at the airport, helicopters did not escape the bad luck. All the pilots... died collectively at the airport.
Until the end, the army officers and soldiers were bloodbathed and the temporary command was attacked. More than ten senior officers, including Brigadier General Rodriguez, closed their eyes forever.
Faced with such a big defeat and a crushing defeat, all the cabinet members knew very well what this meant. The country's fiscal deficit was already full, and at this time he encountered a crushing defeat of annihilation... If you are not careful, waiting for their fate is to resign collectively.
More serious, the financial deficit caused by the crushing defeat, which triggered the public's sense of crisis, and eventually caused social unrest. People sold stocks and caused the stock market to plummet. Then, there was a domino effect, and even this war caused financial unrest around the world.
Moreover, in order to regain the Okinawa Islands this time, the Pacific Command has almost drawn most of its strength to participate in the operation. This disastrous defeat will directly lead to a reduction in the United States' strength in the Pacific region, especially the interests of East Asia... will not be guaranteed.
A crushing defeat was nothing short of a catastrophe for the United States, and it was a catastrophe that could shake the whole world.
It's okay if the US government loses its face. After all, it's not because it's defeated by the army of a certain country, but because it's a group of monsters that have never appeared before. There are more reasons to use here. It's not a big problem that can't be lost.
However, if the interests of East Asia are not guaranteed due to the defeat, the dollar will depreciate significantly, and the number of domestic people will be unemployed, and other shocks caused by the defeat... For the United States, this is almost a doomsday.
Everyone understands these principles, so no one wants to be the first to speak in this conference room. After all, the scope of this matter is too large, so they can't even bear it.
President Strong sat upright on the sofa, frowned and swept across his cabinet team. After a long time, he sighed and spoke helplessly to break the long silence: "Gentlemen, ladies, I think we need someone to stand up and take this responsibility now."
The tragic computer is guided elsewhere, and one person saves multiple items, which is also a common trick to abandon the soldiers and protect the general.
Hearing President Strong's words, Secretary of State Fisher pondered for a long time and whispered: "Mr. President, I think what we need to discuss now is how to deal with the imminent crisis, rather than finding a scapegoat to bear the responsibility for this failure."
"No, no, Mr. Fisher." Strong shook his head gently, stood up from the sofa, and said, "Only after we have clarified the responsibility, we can announce this matter to the people. I believe that many countries and even news media have noticed this matter. We must rush before them, explain the cause and effect of the matter to the people, and then guide their anger and panic."
In other words, it is very important to find a scapegoat to attract all the anger of the people and reduce the dissatisfaction of the people with the government.
After hearing Strong's words, many cabinet officials showed thoughts and soon reached an agreement with Strong. After some discussion and decision, Rodriguez, the commander-in-chief of the operation, became the best scapegoat for the incident.
Soon, the US government held a press conference and announced several things. First of all, the US troops landing in the Okinawa Islands were attacked by marine monsters and were wiped out. The number of casualties and the losses of various weapons were reported.
Then the second thing was to drag Brigadier General Rodriguez out, indicating that the government had made complete preparations for this login, but due to Brigadier General Rodriguez's wrong judgment and misdesign, the failure of this login operation was directly led to the failure. Brigadier General Rodriguez should bear most of the responsibility for this failure.
The last thing to inform the world is that the US government will conduct a military exercise within half a month, and many new cutting-edge technological weapons will be unveiled at the military exercises, and the reasons for this failure are classified into several points, but the main reason for the failure is inevitably to fall on the wrong command of Brigadier General Rodriguez, completely shirking the responsibility of the cabinet.
As the press conference was about to end, President Strong, who came out to inform him in a very low tone, said in a very low tone: "The United States has the ability to protect the personal and property safety of the people in the country. Please keep calm, gentlemen, ladies, and the United States will never recover from the slump because of an inexplicable defeat. The United States' army is still the strongest army in the world."
After a nearly oath-like ending, President Strong quickly left the press conference. He had too many things to prepare for, especially the military exercise half a month later, which was the killer weapon to calm the uneasiness of the people in China. This military exercise... cannot fail, nor can it be defeated.
Once something unexpected happens in the military exercise... not only will it not help the current situation, but it will also arouse greater panic among the people. This is a double-edged sword that can kill the enemy and hurt yourself.
Moreover... the US fiscal crisis has reached a very, very tense moment. War requires money, and military exercises also require money. He has to find a way to get some funds for military exercises as soon as possible...
Regarding the news announced by the US government, countries around the world responded differently. Some were worried that the sea route would be cut off by sea monsters from now on, while others were applauding.
Of course, more national leaders thought of a possibility, that is, the United States paid a heavy price, and there was no reason for those sea monsters to remain intact? After all, it is the world's largest power, and there are so many fighter jets, warships, and army involved.
Although Strong did not mention the casualties of sea monsters, they would rather understand this as the United States has obtained a large number of sea monster corpses. They are currently hiding, and they are transporting these sea monster corpses back to the United States and then conducting various experiments.
In other words, the United States should have fought against the sea monsters and suffered both losses...
The more I think about it, the more I feel that the possibility is extremely high. The most intense reaction is that Japan, which has been occupied by the United States for decades, feels that this should be an opportunity to regain control of Okinawa without bloodshed.
If the army is gone, you can practice again, and if the warship is gone, you can rebuild it again, but if the United States returns to Okinawa again, even the daylily will be cold.
Under the strong encouragement of right-wingers, the Japanese government held an emergency meeting on whether it was feasible to reclaim the Okinawa Islands, and soon completely unified everyone's opinions...
"Yoxi." Otsuka Otsuka nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, please go and prepare and dispatch the Self-Defense Force to Okinawa as soon as possible."
"Hi" everyone stood up, bowed and agreed loudly...
Ye Yangcheng didn't care about the warm atmosphere caused by the US military's miserable defeat in Okinawa. Even if someone suddenly told him one day that the United States had let Japan destroy it, he was only surprised at most and would not have much reaction.
In other words, standing at the current height of Yeyang City, the United States, Japan, etc., is at best just a prey that can increase the points of merit and mystery in his eyes. Who caused what the consequences were not within his consideration.
In other words, the center of Yeyang City is still about improving the level of divine nature. He does not lack money, nor does he lack power. Most of China has been included in his jurisdiction. What else does he lack?
That's right, the merit mystery point, he only lacks the merit mystery point now
Whether it is the United States or Japan, it is just the prey that increases the merit points and divine essence. As long as the prey does not completely die, there will be no big problem.
Therefore, Ye Yangcheng's reaction to all the outside world was ignored and ignored.
Anyway, it is not good to know, and there will be no loss if you don’t know. While your mentality changes, your thinking pattern when looking at things will also change.
Just like now, the outside world is in a hot spot because of the incident in Okinawa, Ye Yangcheng sat upright on the sofa in his rental house, controlling the huge water elements with a solemn expression, constantly drawing the excess water elements in East China to many southwestern provinces, one county, and one city, and carrying out the repetition of rain stop and rain in an orderly manner.
The drought in Sichuan and the flood in Anhui have been completely solved. Ye Yangcheng, who is rushing towards Fujian and Guizhou with great courage, did not know that after he solved the natural disasters in these two provinces at a very fast speed, Zhongnanhai held another emergency meeting, and this time, Fu Yizhi also attended...
