The Rigavia State panicked.

What happened in Port Pierce spread throughout the country in just one day.

As a country dominated by exports of agricultural and building materials products, the only port in the country has fallen into a standstill.

What does that mean?

The next morning, in the Parliament building, representatives from all walks of life gathered, and they did not want to hear what was said in Parliament “all of this was done by the giant animal industry.” For reasons such as this, they simply asked the legislators to solve the problem of the wreck within a month.

The barley industry is the most represented, coming from all cities.

They said aggressively: "In ten days, the national barley harvest will begin. ”

“Barley is the backbone of our economy, generating hundreds of millions of dollars of GDP each year. ”

“Port Pierce will be badly repaired at that time, and while you're at it, have you thought about how to deal with the angry Manon? ”

“I… we can transport by rail.” Parliamentarians said softly, "We have an interconnected railway with Lithuania, through which we can send barley to European countries. ”

“Shipping you out? On the European railway side, you'll negotiate? ”

Immediately a delegate overruled him.

The profitability of large agricultural commodities is inherently low, and the three Baltic States are generally fit to grow barley for climatic reasons.

Is it more Lithuanian than Lithuanian that the barley of the State of Rigavia is transported by rail?

More than 40 countries in Europe, for historical reasons, have railway track specifications that are not yet interoperable and need to be replaced in order to move forward.

Without mentioning the fact that only a few thousand tons of a train are operational, the increased cost of rail transport alone would be more than three times the price of maritime transport. This also relates to the timing of shipments and changes in customer pick-up.

Barley is not the exclusive product of the State of Rigavia, which, together with Lithuania's only railway, is not predominantly freight, but passenger transport.

Will the European railway sector be able to re-plan rail transport for the barley of the country of Rigavia?

Are those breweries willing to wait nearly half a month longer to move the pick-up point from a convenient port to a transit railway station for each shipment?

And pay two fifths more for barley?

“Please don't keep thinking about barley, we still have building materials to solve. ”

“Building materials, can there be household goods important? Most of our supplies used to come in through Pierce Harbor. Where do we arrange rail transportation in the short term? ”

Seeing that Parliament had a tendency to change its vegetable market again, the President had to shoot the table, "Calm down. ”

“I know Port Pierce and its importance to us. ”

“But problems have arisen at the port, and no argument can change that now. ”

Mr. President spoke with all his heart, "Now I can tell you with all seriousness that Port Pierce will not be able to return to normalcy in a short time. We can only do everything possible to transport our barley and construction materials out by rail. ”

“Even if we face a loss, it's better than letting barley rot on the land. ”

Someone rebutted, "Lost money. Will Manon be happy? ”

The President frowned, "This is not a matter of unwillingness, and the export economy of our country of Rigavia has reached a precarious moment. Together, we must overcome this dilemma. ”

“Mr. President, actually, since yesterday, we've been hearing from a number of beer factories in Europe about cancelling their orders this year. ”

“Here, in the UK, France, Spain, a few beer factories are the most distant from our journey. ”

“I think we should come up with a freight compensation scheme for rail transport as soon as possible. ”

“Otherwise, the fury of Manon will flood us. ”

……

Conferences that were as contentious as vegetable markets had to be interrupted until noon.

At lunchtime, the President snuck into the office for some leisure.

But even if it's hidden here, it can't be stopped. Bad news comes one after the other.

First of all, the most powerful marine construction group in the law came to visit and believed that there was only one way to save Pierce Harbor in the fastest possible time.

—— Rebuild another port next to it.

Port Pierce was completely abandoned.

The depth of the water near Pierce Harbor is less than 30 meters, and the sunken ship just took up all of that depth, and even a few thousand tons of small cargo ships could not stop.

Tens of thousands of tons of concrete in warehouses today have become as hard as ports.

Blast removal is also not possible, not to mention that it will take at least three years, and over $400 million to $500 million in salvage costs. Just a shockwave of underwater bankruptcy can shock a port just a short distance away into a tofu block.

With this time and money, it is obvious that it would be better to rebuild a port.

Perhaps the giant animal industry can do something about it.

As far as they know, the world's most advanced marine crane is a supermassive ship called the Giant God, which is likely to exceed 20,000 tons of lifting capacity. With its assistance, the Marine Construction Group could not say that there was a solution.

But between the present state of Rigavia and its relations with the giant animal industry, it is clear that the reconstruction of the new port is most reliable.

The news coming from the European railway sector is also very disheartening.

The railway authorities are currently rejecting the request of the State of Regavia for additional freight train commuting, as the State of Regavia's railway station does not have the capacity to add freight trains unless they modify the station.

Lithuania is also strongly opposed to this initiative.

Adding new freight trains can seriously affect their passenger freight shifts.

There is only one railway between the two countries, or a one-way non-electrified railway. Two more columns, if that's all right. Do you want Lithuania's traffic?

The news, taken together, is utterly gray.

In the afternoon, 10 minutes before the beginning of Parliament, the silent President in his office suddenly received a telephone call from the station chief.

“Mr. President, that's not good. ”

“What's wrong?” Mr. President, there is an immediate feeling of spinning.

Though the station master has not yet said anything bad, a strong bad feeling suddenly springs up inside you, Mr. President.

Is it...

Giant Beast Industries hit the railroad again?

That should be impossible, Mr. President, praying in his heart.

The station manager's voice was full of fear, "Mr. President, we received an anonymous phone call from the station half an hour ago. The man calls himself an adventurer who likes to explore the mountains. ”

“Just before the call, he said, he was proceeding along the Siori and Dauga railway lines, preparing to cross the Great Mountain Tunnel and explore our country. ”

“Results…”

“As a result, he crossed the tunnel and found that the railway bridge in front crossed a canyon had disappeared. ”

“Mr. President, the tone of the voice was so exciting that we sent someone to check it out. ”

“As a result, the 30-metre railway bridge disappeared completely over the canyon. ”
