The snow in New York is either not falling, and it will endlessly when it rises. Within a day, the transition from light snow to blizzard is completed.

From January 12th to January 15th, heavy snow continued to fall. The New York City Government issued a Blizzard warning on January 13th to remind New York residents to pay attention. Measures.

We cannot blame the ineffective response of the New York City government. This is the government's efficiency in this era. It is impossible to count on the government's disaster relief. If we want to weather the snow disaster, we must rely on the citizens' own efforts.

That 's right, it 's a snow disaster. When the New York City government issued an early warning, all of New York City 's external traffic had been cut off. Not only the railways, but also the ports could not operate normally. The usual three-hour throughput now takes one full day to complete As the queues of ships preparing to enter the port outside New York harbor grow up, many crew members can't bear it and take the small boats directly to grab the advanced port, which also leads to further reduction of efficiency.

"One pound of potatoes has now risen to $ 0.50, the price of one bushel of wheat has tripled, all the beef on the market has been sold out, and the original abundant seafood has disappeared. Our two trains were trapped in Waterbo There is no way to move forward. At most until tomorrow afternoon, all the canteen reserves will be exhausted. I greeted the police station and customs, but they have no other options. Unless the weather is fine, our corporate canteen will be forced to stop tomorrow afternoon. Run. "Henry's brow frowned. This was really a clever woman who couldn't make rice. The snowstorm disrupted normal order, and Henry had no choice but to help.

The impact of the snow disaster was very severe. Nearly 700 people died of severe cold in New York City yesterday. All the people who survived were hungry and cold. All the food on the market had been exhausted. All the stores had a "closed business" sign. The New York City Government Although every effort has been made, it is still a waste of money in the face of the brutal snow disaster. The Steed Horse Group has now reached an unsustainable level.

In order to provide employees with the freshest food, the steeds of the Steed Group buy food directly from Springfield. These foods are shipped directly to New York by rail, and they are dispatched every other day on average. Now the train is stopped due to snowstorms. At Waterbury, one hundred kilometers away from New York, it was impossible to move forward, and the Junma Group's corporate cafeteria was about to be unsustainable. To solve this problem, Henry was so distressed that he could only ask Li Mu for help in the end.

"Can you buy it from surrounding cities? The snowstorm cannot last for long, even if the price is a little higher." Li Mu has never encountered such a thing. Although New York has always been cold in winter, it is still the first time in several years. Experiencing the snowstorm in New York once, it was really not that wonderful.

Just below Li Mu's office, Mason is leading dozens of security personnel to remove snow. The heavy snow has also affected the Governor's Island. The deepest snow has reached about two meters. The pine trees planted around the Governor's Island have been crushed by several plants. The main building The nearby green belts were also buried by snow, and even the horse shed was crushed. Mason's main task in the past few days was to remove snow. Otherwise, heavy snow could bury the entire Governor's Island.

In order to green the Governor's Island, Li Mu bought hundreds of large trees over 100 years old from around New York City, and almost all of the big trees around New York City were bought. Under Li Mu's office, there was an oak tree over 600 years old. Mason is working with a dozen security personnel to put the rope on the top of a tree that has been crushed by snow, and shouting the trumpet to pull it together, trying to shake the snow from the tree.

"Traffic has been completely interrupted, even trains cannot be run, and the canal has been closed. Even if the surrounding cities have reserves, we can't solve our troubles." Henry has considered this possibility, and the conclusion is completely impossible.

As the most populous city in the United States, New York now has about 2 million people. Because the National Auto Rally New York Station is underway, more than 100,000 tourists are also trapped in New York, which exacerbates the plight of New York City. The canteen of the Stallion Group is facing the danger of food breaks. All hotels, including the Clinton Castle Hotel, are also facing a shortage of food.

"Hey--" Li Mu picked up the phone on the table and wanted to call William Vanderbilt, but the busy voice came from the phone, and it was estimated that the phone line was also cut by Daxue.

As a railroad giant in the United States, Li Mu believes that as long as William Vanderbilt is willing to help, then he will definitely find a solution. As long as he is willing to pay, Li Mu believes that the problem cannot be solved without US dollars.

Mason outside the window finally succeeded in shaking the oak tree. Perhaps it was the severe cold that reduced the toughness of the oak tree. The snow on the oak tree did not fall, but the whole tree broke with a click, which made Li Mu even more upset and could not bear it. Just shove open the window and yell "quietly."

With a look of surprise, Mason was overwhelmed, and Gloria, who came in with coffee, was taken aback and looked at Li Mu with a look of worry.

"It's okay. I'll see Chu Xue soon and let her walk out." Li Mu did not want to worry Gloria, and tried to squeeze a smile from Gloria.

Chuxue has been pregnant for more than six months. The expected delivery date is in April this year. Now Chuxue is the key protection object for everyone, especially strict mothers. She is almost guarding Chuxue, and it is strictly forbidden to perform any activities that may cause danger. Now is the snowstorm period. For Chu Xue, even walking has become a luxury.

"Okay, Chuxue is playing chess with Sandy, you don't have to worry." Gloria is not a canary that can't eat fireworks on earth, knowing the severity of the snowstorm, but Gloria can't help but Try not to let Li Mu worry about trivial matters.

Although unwilling to be "banned" in the bedroom, Chu Xue's arrangement against Yan's mother was also unable to resist. Fortunately, Sandy accompanied Chu Xue, which made Chu Xue's mood a lot more cheerful.

When Gloria closed the door, Henry continued: "If possible, can you ask the Coast Guard for help? Warships can definitely be dispatched in such weather, as long as they have good reasons."

Henry hit his idea on the Coast Guard, which is very likely, because of the relationship between Li Mu and Alfred Mahan, George Dewey and others, Li Mu and the Navy have always been good. As long as Li Mu comes forward, the Coast Guard The team will definitely help, this is just a hand for them.

In the 21st century, Li Mu often saw on the Internet U.S. forces 'arms folded in natural disasters. Once Li Mu also talked about the US army 's lack of compassion. Now Li Mu understands that U.S. forces are not without compassion, but duties. As a limitation, the US military cannot provide assistance to the victims, which is beyond the scope of the US military's responsibility.

According to relevant regulations, the responsibility of the US military is only to provide security in the event of a natural disaster in the country, and no other party should be involved. This fundamentally eliminates the possibility of the military's involvement in local affairs. In natural disasters, it is responsible for providing The National Guard or the relevant responsible agency was rescued. The military has no right to help and no obligation.

Of course, the inability to provide help is also relatively speaking. If Li Mu's bosses come forward, they can certainly let the Coast Guard give up some stubbornness. At least it is feasible to send ships to open the canals. This does not require Washington 's approval, even The order of the War Ministry was also grasped by Li Mu.

"I'll give it a try, but don't have too much hope, you will contact William Vanderbilt and let him think of a way." Li Mu is also in a rush to get medical treatment, whether it is feasible, try it first.

The heavy snow caused serious traffic obstacles. The distance was more than 20 meters, and there were only snowflakes in sight. The sky was white, the sky and sea level were absent. Even when sailing, the route from Governors Island to Battery Park was already familiar to traffic boats, Mason was not afraid to snub, and personally took control of the rudder and controlled the traffic boat to move forward slowly.

The dock in Battery Park has been completely buried by heavy snow. The security personnel responsible for the safety of the dock have to clear the snow every half an hour. The traffic boat hit the dock in a nearly rude manner. Beaches.

In order to deal with the snow, Mayor Edward has referred to Arthur's suggestion and organized New Yorkers to go to the streets to clean up the snow in a way of “doing work for them”. Citizens involved in snow removal have no salary but can receive certain food. In return, this was more precious than cash during the snowstorm.

The so-called "cleaning up" does not clear all the snow in the city. It can only be piled up by the roadside and clearing a small section of the road. The car moves slowly in this narrow aisle, and the snow on both sides of the road even blocks it. With the shop windows on both sides of the road, as long as people are lazy, the snow on the road will accumulate in a short period of time. It seems that New York is going to finish the amount of snow for one year at a time, and people can't help cursing.

After selling the Governor's Island to Li Mu, the Coast Guard moved the headquarters to Flebe Xu Street in Brooklyn, which is the prospect park in the future. Li Mu's car was blocked for an hour and a half at Horse Plaza, which was difficult. arrival.

"Ha, Rimm, let me guess, you must come to me in this weather. It must be fine." Major General Ford Humphrey, Commander of the Coast Guard, personally received Li Mu. For the Coast Guard, Li Mu is a rare guest. It was Li Mu's first visit to the Coast Guard since he bought Governor's Island.

"You all know, it 's snowing outside, but you are drinking hot coffee in front of the fireplace. Life is really unfair. Look at you and look at me again. Maybe I chose the wrong career." Li Mu was really envious of Ford Humphrey, having a cup of hot coffee in this weather is really enjoyable.

The welfare benefits of the army are still very good. Although the salary is not large, it is sufficient to support the family and there are various invisible benefits in the army, which are not experienced by outsiders. Compared to the army raised by the queen mother, The Navy is as enviable as a prince. At least in the snowy weather, the supply of the Navy has not been affected in the slightest. This is not even possible for a tycoon like Li Mu.

"If you are willing to join the army, it is not too late. Alfred will definitely let you enter the Annapolis Military Academy without a test. After graduation, you can choose any army you want to go. I believe the army commander will welcome with both hands. Ford Humphrey teased at will, Li Mu would definitely not join the army in his life, and the so-called envy was just talking.

In fact, if you want to integrate into the Western society, joining the army is a simple and fast way. The soldiers have always enjoyed special treatment. Even in the 21st century, many people still regard this as a shortcut, especially for immigrant countries such as France and the United States. , Joining the army is the lowest cost way.

The classification of France as an "immigrant country" may not seem very harmonious. In fact, France has been trying to attract immigrants since the nineteenth century. This method reached its peak after the First World War. At that time, as long as someone was willing to join the army, It is easy to acquire French nationality, which also lays the roots for the future "Francestan".

"Say something practical, you know how bad it is now outside, can't you do something? Obviously you can do it, but you are hiding in the barracks and doing nothing. This is really jealous." Li Mu The direct complaints were not concealed at all.

In the United States, the military's social status is still relatively high, but in many cases, soldiers will also consciously or unconsciously brazen themselves, except in wartime, soldiers and the president are the same targets of abuse.

"What can I do? Can I send someone to make coffee for the citizens? That's not in my area of responsibility." Ford Humphrey was so proud of it that he felt no shame.

Western society still has a "knight plot". They are loyal, brave, persevering, and devout, and their personality is almost perfect. If there is a person in the world who can be called a "perfect person", that is probably a summary of the knight.

Of course, most of the cover under the bright surface is unsightly, and the chivalry is a myth in the west. For many "knights", the chivalry is just a good hope, not a norm that must be followed. The role is only reflected in the battlefield, the performance of the knight in life may not be better than ordinary people.

Just like Ford Humphrey, although Ford Humphrey has always advertised himself with the chivalry spirit, in fact, at the critical moment of the snowstorm, Ford Humphrey is more likely to watch the citizens die of hunger and cold but will not stretch out. A helping hand, but also cheering, this is what Ford Humphrey calls "the chivalry spirit".

"At the very least you can provide help within your ability, such as opening the canal-we all know that your coast guard has this ability, and this is also within your responsibility." After all, there is a demand for people, and Li Mu cannot say anything. Is too heavy.
