The letter Owen received was the distress letter sent by Count Claude.

Knowing that the southern border was in an unprecedented crisis, he hurried to the battleship King and held an emergency meeting with Viscount Jarvis and others.

In Fang Zheng's command room, a group of people gathered around a table, on which was placed a map of the entire Kingdom of Morning Light.

"The demi-human races in the wilderness formed the 'Asian United' alliance and successfully broke through the Great Wall. They claimed to regain the land and caused chaos in the southern border, destroying countless villages and causing a large number of refugees to flee north and gather in the Roaring City.

outside."

"In addition, Queen Moonlight destroyed the city and fled, causing a shortage of food in Lion's Roar City. If this continues, a great famine will inevitably occur in the southern part of the kingdom, leading to human tragedy."

Some people may not understand the situation, so Owen briefly explained the current situation in the south to everyone.

"We cannot sit idly by and ignore the southern border. We must go over to rescue those refugees and at the same time solve the problem of the Asian alliance."

Understanding the goal of this emergency meeting, everyone present nodded.

Here, Owen emphasized that the refugees he wanted to save were not the nobles huddled in the city.

Industrial development requires the support of a huge population, and every refugee is an important human resource in the future.

Therefore, in Owen's eyes, the life value of the refugees is much more precious than that of the nobles.

On the way here, Owen had already thought of a countermeasure in his mind.

"First of all, we need to solve the stomach problem of the refugees. They must not be allowed to starve and suffer in the resettlement areas outside the city."

Owen turned his attention to Viscount Jarvis and ordered: "Viscount Jarvis, I order you to lead a group of soldiers and take three cement steamships loaded with food to Roar City to deliver food to the refugees and stabilize the city.

People's support, and ask Count Claude, the lord of Roar City, for details."

Regarding the source of food, it is naturally the granary of Junhui City.

As the royal capital, Junhui City has strong strength and financial resources, so its food reserves are naturally not too bad.

If the food shortage in Lion's Roar City is too large and Junhui City cannot support it, we can also transfer food from Dawn City to supplement it. After all, last year's autumn harvest was a bumper harvest.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Viscount Jarvis held his chest and saluted, accepting the task.

"By the way, remember to use my name when you provide relief." Owen added, "Let the people know who gave them the food."

This is a great opportunity to win over people by donating food, and Owen will naturally not let it go.

"Understood." Viscount Jarvis nodded.

Then, Owen turned to look at Winnie. The latter felt the gaze and immediately imitated a soldier standing in a military posture with his head raised and chest raised, his face full of expectation.

Angelica has her own affairs to deal with, and now she can only turn to Winnie.

"Winnie." Owen called softly.

"I'm here." Winnie stepped forward like a machine, "Your Majesty, please give me instructions."

Seeing this, Owen couldn't help but smile. This girl really hopes that she can make a contribution.

"Hmm, the letter said that the demi-human alliance has not yet attacked the vicinity of Lion's Roar City. Perhaps Count Claude did not have much information about the enemy."

Owen then put away his smile, put on a serious face, and gave the order.

"Therefore, Winnie, I want to send you to the southern border to detect the enemy's situation from the air and mark the enemy's location on the map so that the People's Army can launch a joint counterattack against the Asians."

As he spoke, he took out a thicker map and handed it to Winnie.

Taking the map of the southern territory, Winnie said with confidence: "Your Majesty, please rest assured and promise to complete the mission!"

After all, she went to school in Auroville. She already knows a lot of human characters and has learned to read maps. There should be no problem with this mission.

"Be careful." Owen still reminded him.

"Yeah!" Winnie responded.

After explaining Winnie's mission, Owen glanced at the senior officers present and said slowly: "Everyone, I have a large-scale plan here and I need your cooperation."

As soon as these words came out, the officers held their breath and listened carefully.

"This plan is called the Migration Plan..." Owen began to describe the plan in detail.

Considering that all the refugee villages in the southern border were destroyed by the Asian Alliance, even if the People's Army drove out the enemies, they would still have no home.

Even if Lion's Roar City and surrounding villages absorb some able-bodied refugees, there will still be many refugees left, especially the elderly, women and children who are unwanted.

The nobles will not let this group of refugees continue to gather outside the city, and will definitely send people to disperse them when the time comes.

At this time, the refugees have only two choices, one is to try their luck elsewhere, and the other is to return to the destroyed village and rebuild a new one.

No matter which choice you make, it's a helpless move.

It just so happens that Dawn City is in a stage of rapid development, and what it lacks most is population.

Therefore, Owen decided to move all the southern refugees to Dawn City and let them start a new life there.

Of course, we cannot engage in forced immigration. We must publicize to the outside world that there are a lot of job opportunities in Auroville. As long as everyone is willing to work, everyone can fill their stomachs, have a house to live in, etc., so as to attract refugees to come voluntarily.

After hearing this, Viscount Jarvis looked shocked and asked eagerly: "How do you plan to realize such a huge population migration?"

"Ship." Owen replied calmly.

In addition to the Auroville fleet, Owen plans to mobilize all the ships in the kingdom to transport the refugees, and at the same time notify the Twins, Xiadao and Crescent Federation's chambers of commerce, entrusting them to send ships to help.

Since it is an emergency operation, the shipping fee for each trip may be much higher than usual.

"Will the price be too high?" Viscount Jarvis asked worriedly.

"No, it won't." Owen shook his head, "As long as people can be transferred safely, the money will be well spent."

When the huge relocated population is invested in the development of Dawn City, everyone can create corresponding value, and the money spent can actually be earned back quickly.

Before he finished, Owen designed two migration routes for this plan.

The first is the conventional route, boarding the ship at Lion's Roar City, passing through the inland waterway, passing through Junhui City, Dongsheng Fortress, and directly arriving at Dawn City Pier.

The second route takes the coastal waterway, boarding the ship in Bibo County, first sending it to Laifeng Port, and then taking the newly opened land channel to Dawn City.

Although Trieste burned down Bibo County and escaped, only the houses were burned, and the port and dock there continued to be used.

"We will have the communications soldiers use wireless phones to notify the Dawn City City Hall later, so that they can be prepared to receive the refugees. The measures will be the same as when they received the serfs before, such as building a large number of adobe houses, etc., and they will also be notified of the arrival port.

be prepared."

Finally, Owen asked: "This migration operation is very difficult. Are you confident that it can be completed?"
Chapter completed!
