From Veronica's mouth, Luo Songxi felt quite amused to hear comments such as "stupid" from His Majesty, the previous emperor of the empire."
One of the stupidest things he did was to build a dam in Guderian province in 1335 in the year 1335 of the Dandelion Empire, at the behest of the alchemist Aniper Claudius."
Veronica's evaluation continues."
Annibel Claudius was originally a bard in Wangdu, but I don't know how he used to get into the imperial front and gain the trust of Charlemagne, becoming the 'chief state advisor' of the entire empire.""
Guderian province is mountainous and river-rich, with abundant precipitation, and is prone to flooding, especially in those years, which affected Charlemagne's plan to hoard military rations.""
Anniber personally asked Ying to lead a team to Guderian Province for a few months of research, and then offered Charlemagne a plan to control the water.""
The opinion of the water conservancy expert group is to build eight reservoirs to regulate the water system, but Annnipeg is well aware of Charlemagne's temperament of great joy, and finally presented it to the recital in front of the emperor, he stubbornly added a zero to the back of the eight, and changed it to build eighty reservoirs, saying that this can solve the flood problem of Guderian Province once and for all, and the water stored can also irrigate the wasteland and reclaim more fertile land."
At the end of the cantata, Annipeg writes that such a feat will be remembered for thousands of years.Charlemagne Longyan Dayue, a group of royal pens, a mighty dam-building movement began. ”"The entire Guderian province, for the merits of His Majesty the Emperor for thousands of years, must build dams where there are conditions, and create conditions where there are no conditions.""
The movement lasted five years, employing millions of laborers, and during which there were numerous revolts, and finally in 1340 the Dandelion Empire, all 80 reservoirs of various sizes were built.""
In the second year after its construction, Guderian province experienced heavy rainfall unseen in a century, and a week later, the largest reservoir in Guderian province, the largest reservoir named after His Majesty the Emperor, reached the warning level.""
Anniber patted his chest and said that there would be no problem in Guderian Province this year, and at the same time ordered Charlemagne Reservoir to open six of the twelve spillways for the other reservoirs downstream to share the burden.""
It's good that this is not a flood discharge, but as soon as the flood is discharged, it immediately exposes the extremely unreasonable planning of the original 80 reservoir groups.""
The four reservoirs closest to the Charlemagne Reservoir, except for a medium-sized reservoir, are actually small reservoirs, and the water in the Charlemagne Reservoir is rolling down, and the three small reservoirs don't even have time to open the spillway, so they directly burst the embankment.""
In just a few minutes, the residents of five villages and one town along the three reservoirs were swallowed up by the boiling water before they could react, and tens of thousands of people disappeared in an instant.""
But the disaster did not end, as the water from the breach of the levee rushed down the main stream and two tributaries of the Gudesippi River, and a total of 16 reservoirs were breached in the unguarded downstream area, and the millions of residents in the surrounding area were completely unprepared, with the assurance of Annib's chest.""
You can imagine the land beneath your feet in 1341: it was an icy summer, and the flood became a tomb for the common people.""
All the settlements around the Gudesippi River, which until a few hours ago were bustling towns, quiet countryside, and vibrant people, have all but disappeared after a few hours.""
All that was left on the ground was the raging floods, and the ruins and even severed limbs that rose and fell with the water.""
About 200,000 people were swept away by the flood, and another 800,000 people died in the plague that followed the flood.Annipeg was forced to be held accountable, and in the investigation that followed, it was found that Annipeg had eaten three million dinars in kickbacks during the five years of the construction of the reservoir. ”"This is the most tragic disaster in this troubled place.Fortunately, the catastrophe delayed Charlemagne's conquest of the Confederation indefinitely until he was assassinated by your teacher, John Edward, on a hunting ground outside the palace of Wangdu. ”"Although he was the emperor of the empire and a symbol of supremacy, it is said that after his death, many commoners in the empire secretly worshipped the standing statue of John Edward at home."
The flood forty years ago was so thrilling that even Luo Songxi could hear it.It wasn't until Veronica finished speaking that he came to his senses and asked Veronica, "Why are you telling me such a heavy story?"
”"I want you to understand that even if it is necessary to wage war, my teacher Antonidas, and Charlemagne, have a completely different starting point," said Veronica, "Charlemagne is a reckless soldier, he has no regard for the national economy and the people's livelihood, and he has to empty the whole country to satisfy his famous thoughts."
But Mr.
Antonidas wants to create a better and richer human continent through a war. ”"No," Luo Songxi said firmly, "a war is a war, and there will be many more people killed in a war than in that flood forty years ago." ”Veronica lowered her head, was silent for a while, and finally said, "Lord Hepsius has not appeared for three hundred years, but Teacher Antonidas can sense that the next Kuroshio is imminent, and the disappearance of Lord Hepsius is likely to be related to the Kuroshio. ”"Teacher Antonidas believes that only by breaking the barrier between the Federation and the Empire can a leap in the overall strength of mankind be achieved, and only a unified human state can fight against the greatest scourge of the entire seat.He has no time, and only through a war can he achieve all this as quickly as possible. ”It was also the first time Veronica had admitted positively that war was indeed imminent."
No," Luo Songxi said firmly, "war is war, and I am against war for any reason. ”Veronica frowned slightly, her slender blue heels stomped lightly on the deck of the airship, threw down a sentence, "stubborn", and turned to leave.Halfway through, she stopped, turned back to Luo Songxi and said, "At least for now, you are still a small person, and you can't change the situation and this trend."
Just stay here. ”Luo Songxi looked at the golden picture scroll outside the deck, the scenery here is very beautiful, and I am indeed a small person, but even if I don't talk about the grand theme of war, Luo Qingming is locked up in prison, no matter what, I must always work hard to save him.
