While Chen Xin and others were worrying about the situation in the disaster area, the situation in Lucia's capital was not much better.
Although the arrival of Xugou and Haizhu brought a glimmer of hope to Lucia in trouble, the country was already so weak that it could no longer even hold on to this glimmer of hope.
Although Lucia is one of the top five Blue Stars and her overall strength is not bad, the country itself is a sick tiger stuck in the quagmire.
During the Suvian era, Lucia's predecessor, the country collapsed due to various social problems and became Lucia and a series of countries. However, this self-collapse did not solve the various social problems left over from the Suvian era. , but Lucia was deeply troubled by these problems and her situation became more and more difficult.
Before the disaster, Suvia had been disintegrated for almost thirty years. Although the rich legacy left behind allowed Lucia to barely maintain the dignity of the top five Blue Stars, and the efforts of the leaders also made the country struggle to get out of the quagmire, it still remained The results were minimal, and the people's lives were even worse than in the Suvian era.
Under such circumstances, Lucia still participated in the counterattack against the meteorite.
But this happened to almost drain Lucia's last breath.
This country itself is invincible and has long since lost its power as one of the two poles of the world that dominated Europe during the Viennese Era. The action of counterattacking the meteorite can be said to be an almost desperate gamble.
If successful, Lucia may be able to recover through post-disaster reconstruction based on her contribution to saving humanity and the people's hearts and national power gathered by this incident.
Although this may not make Lucia strong again, it can at least make the situation in her country better.
But this gamble failed, not only Lucia's failure, but also the failure of all mankind.
There is no winner, all countries are losers.
And Lucia, because she lost so much, her country almost collapsed again.
When Yanguo's aid arrived at Lucia's capital after traveling thousands of kilometers, although the city did not collapse, it was far worse than Yanguo's cold environment, shortage of various supplies, and people plagued by cold and disease. The people...have turned the majestic capital of Suvia, one of the two poles of the world in the past, into a desperate hell.
The shelter built under the capital's subway station is already the best place in the country.
However, even here, it is more like a cellar full of hungry people than a shelter.
People here can more or less get enough food to keep them hungry, but that's just enough to keep them from starving to death.
Lucia is a country at high latitudes. The winter here is much longer than that in Yan Country, and agriculture is not developed.
After the disaster, although the food supply was barely maintained by growing potatoes underground, many people also starved to death.
And what's worse than Yan Kingdom is that the outdoor temperature in Lucia is as low as more than 100 degrees below zero, which is much worse than Yan Kingdom. Outdoor activities are impossible at this temperature, and everyone can only stay underground. In the shelter.
This also resulted in Lucia being unable to carry out post-disaster reconstruction at all, and could only try to continue digging underground to see if the shelter could be expanded.
What's even worse is that in extremely cold temperatures, trains can't run, and boilers can't burn at more than 100 degrees below zero, leaving the city in a state of resource shortage.
At this time, the situation in the capital of Lucia is very similar to the fall of Winter Home in "Icespoon Age". There is a lack of food and clothing, and the city is full of various problems.
Heating, coal, and food, none of them can be supplied stably!
The arrival of Yanguo's two arks is indeed a timely help, but what they can provide Lucia is just pouring a little alcohol into the pyre that has only embers left. Although it seems to be burning, when the alcohol is burned out, At that time, even this last embers could no longer be maintained.
If you want to save this country, you can only inject new fuel.
"You have seen the situation here. Lucia is in great need of Yan Kingdom's help now!" In the shelter of the central subway station, Lucia's leader met with officials sent by Yan Kingdom and confessed to him Lucia's current situation. Dilemma: "The only one who can help Lucia now is the Yan Kingdom. As long as you are willing to help us get through this dilemma, we are willing to do anything to repay your help."
At this time, the dilemma faced by Lucia left no room for the leader to negotiate conditions and deal with Yanguo officials.
The only thing he could do at this time was to put everything Lucia owned on the negotiation table for Yan Guo to choose from, in exchange for help that would allow Lucia to survive.
"What do you need?" Perhaps it was still the humility in the bones of Yanguo people. Even if they wanted to take away everything Lucia could provide, Yanguo officials still asked about Lucia's needs first.
After all, it’s already meat in the bowl, so there’s no need to look ugly when eating it.
"Food! Medicine! Fuel! Even clothes! Lucia needs everything! She needs everything that can make people survive!" Lucia's leader helplessly rubbed his forehead and told Yanguo officials about Lucia's needs. , even if this will expose all Lucia's weakness at the moment.
But Lucia's leader can no longer control that much. Without support, Lucia will be destroyed.
Before the disaster, Lucia certainly knew to be prepared. Relying on the legacy of the Suvian era, they actually made all the preparations they could.
However, the harsh environment and the weakening of Lucia's own national power have made them unable to do more things.
For example, growing potatoes underground, of course Lucia knew that this was the only way to obtain food after the disaster, but the weakening of the country made it impossible for Lucia to have enough food to feed everyone.
Now, the leader of Lucia could not think any more. At the end of his rope, he even considered merging the whole country into the Yan Kingdom like Britain did, in exchange for the possibility of the country and its people continuing to survive.
Compared with the difficulties of Lucia's leader, the Yanguo official was obviously much more calm. He thought for a while and said: "We have brought fifty tons of food and ten tons of medicine. These are given to you free of charge. You can respond first." Urgent."
Hearing what Yanguo officials said, the leader of Lucia showed a surprised expression on his face.
Although it is really not much, it is indeed a timely help and can relieve an urgent need.
"As for more assistance, I need to contact the country to make a decision. After all, the situation in Yan Country is not optimistic now. The earthquake in the southwest has brought huge losses to Yan Country, and we don't have much spare power to help you. "Officials from Yan State have always maintained contact with the country, and of course they know the situation in the country.
Speaking out at this moment not only explains the situation, but also bargains with Lucia's leader.
After all, Yan Guo's help is not really free.
