.

Although I was mentally prepared, everything still seemed so sudden.

The strong tropical storm code-named "Nargis" was indeed heading towards Bangladesh, but earlier on the 2nd, it suddenly diverted the route in the Bay of Bengal and strengthened again, heading straight for Myanmar territory. The tropical storm carried a storm and storm and landed at the estuary of the Irrawaddy River 220 kilometers southwest of Yangon City, and instantly wiped several coastal towns from the map. There was almost no stagnation, and the center of the storm rushed towards the Yangon and Irrawaddy River Delta. As the maximum speed of the storm exceeded expectations, it reached 190 kilometers to 240 kilometers per hour, it almost ruined the entire delta.

Since the morning of the 2nd, Corning has been paying attention to the trend of tropical storms in the Prime Minister's Office. When the storm was found to change direction, it immediately notified the release of a strong storm warning message. Myanmar State Television and Myanmar East Satellite TV have continuously broadcasted the announcement that coastal people must urgently evacuate to the safe area. However, because they have been numb by similar information in the past few days, both the people and officials from all over the country have turned a deaf ear and are still living leisurely. Only a few people who are worried about the current government's predictions have moved their families with their families.

Under such helpless circumstances, Corning had to contribute to the high-rise buildings owned by the Irrawaddy River, which could be swept by the storm, to the delta, including Yangon, which belongs to the East Myanmar Group, as a place for emergency shelter. These places have long reinforced doors and windows in accordance with unified regulations, and are renovated with tempered glass that can resist high pressure and impact.

Two hours before the storm arrived in Yangon, Corning personally led his people and forced Chairman Danrui, other senior government officials and family members to the anti-country center one by one. This place is located in the north of Yangon city, with a high terrain. The entire building is a fully framed reinforced concrete structure. Some places are reinforced with steel frames. They contain precision electronic instruments and communication equipment, as well as the latest video conference system, which can contact the outside world at any time and direct disaster resistance.

At first, Danrui was a little unhappy, and other leaders of the ministry who were disturbed to rest with their family were also dissatisfied with Corning's arbitrary behavior. However, when the storm really came, from the monitors spread across the prevention and control center, most of the brick-concrete roofs were lifted and blown away in the storm and lightning, and five or six people hugged each other and trees were uprooted. People and animals were swept into the air and struggled weakly. After Yangon instantly became a hell on earth, they were so shocked that they opened their mouths and couldn't stop.

The storm and storm were raging all night. The next morning, the wind reduced and the rain gradually weakened. The officials who entered the prevention and control center to hide were gradually coming out one after another. The entire Yangon city seemed to have just fought a fierce battle, full of devastation, a large number of buildings collapsed, overturned vehicles, scattered street lights, wooden boards, etc. on the streets could be seen everywhere. After all, this is their home. With years of emotions, everyone couldn't help but cry when they saw this scene. At this time, everyone remembered the warnings that Corning had made before and the efforts made by Myanmar to fight the storm disaster. When they think of his rudeness and rudeness, they couldn't help but step forward to apologize and salute to Corning.

The major disaster that swept across southern Myanmar was not over until the tropical storm moved eastward on the evening of the 4th and entered Thailand with heavy rain all the way. The nightmare was not over.

It was later confirmed that the maximum wind speed of "Nargis" in Myanmar reached 52.8 meters/sec, exceeding 51.0 meters/sec of a typhoon of level 16, is a super typhoon, and it is raging along the way. Due to surface friction and other factors, the wind will usually drop by 3 to 4 for every 300 kilometers. By the time we reach Thailand, it has already fallen into a typhoon. Continue moving forward, "Nargis" crossed Vietnam and arrived in China, and trekked more than 1,000 kilometers. Even a tropical storm with winds of level 8 to 9 cannot be called, and at most it can only be a tropical low pressure of level 6 to 7. In other words, this disaster has left Myanmar alone.

As disaster relief plans have been formulated, eastern Myanmar also prepared sufficient materials to deal with this devastating disaster. Soon, a steady stream of rescue materials were continuously transported from eastern Myanmar to the disaster area through Jingdong-Yangon Expressway. As the disaster relief deepened, the increasing number of deaths slowly shocked people's hearts: 4 people, 240 people, 351 people, 4,000 people, 15,000, 22,500, 33,500, 43,000, 138,000...

This shocking figure, coupled with the news reports sent back from various places in the disaster area, shocked the international community and attracted widespread attention. In recent years, the US government, whose relations with Myanmar have gradually eased, immediately stated that it would donate $100 million in disaster relief funds, and China has also taken urgent action. The first batch of disaster relief materials alone are worth up to $50 million, and a large amount of donations are still being raised. EU countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Denmark, and Spain have also donated generously, and disaster relief funds have been transferred to Myanmar.

Just as Myanmar was organizing full efforts to fight the disaster and the whole world was helping. On May 12, 14:28:04, a magnitude 8.0 earthquake occurred in Wenchuan, Sichuan, China. Almost the entire Southeast Asia and the entire East Asia region had a tremor. The casualties and property losses were extremely heavy. The whole world was shocked. No one could have thought that in almost the time of the land, two countries next to each other had major natural disasters. The disaster-stricken populations occurred one after another. The economic losses exceeded one trillion. It made people sigh that nature was indifferent and ruthless.

While presiding over the disaster relief work in Myanmar, he was paying attention to the situation of earthquake relief areas in the mainland. When he learned that the terrain of Wenchuan was rugged, earthquake relief troops could not go deep into the earthquake center area for rescue. Kang Ning quietly called Chen Pu and dispatched the Black Hawk Helicopter Brigade of the East Myanmar Army to return to China to participate in the disaster relief work. At the same time, he conveyed his opinions to the country to see if he could help do things within his ability. He was visiting the front line of earthquake resistance and called back that Myanmar and the Prime Minister said that it was also in difficulty now. It was good to be able to dispatch helicopter Brigade to help. Doing other things will inevitably lead to dissatisfaction in the Myanmar people in the disaster. Therefore, he refused his kindness. Corning knew the interests of the local area and had to choose to give up.

In the disaster area in southern Myanmar, due to the stable supply of food and drinking water, eastern Myanmar provides tents and disaster relief supplies in time. In addition, a large number of aids from all over the world arrive at the disaster area. The people's hearts and social order are in place. At the same time, since we have attached great importance to the disinfection and sanitation work in the disaster area from the beginning, although there were corpses of humans and animals everywhere in the early stage of the disaster relief. However, due to the timely disinfection, no epidemic occurred during the period. As of early June, the disaster relief work was at the end. Reconstruction work was officially put on the agenda.

Corning was prepared for how to resettle the disaster-stricken areas. Anyway, most of the towns in the disaster-stricken areas are very dilapidated. Many of them are shacks. They simply push down and rebuilt them. They strive to build residential communities in all-frame steel-concrete structures to improve their ability to fight wind disasters. The people in the disaster-stricken areas only need to apply to the local government. They can get a free new apartment in the first half of the year. Of course, the original homestead will be taken back by the government for another purpose. In Myanmar, where the economy is not developed, there is no saying that there is a house speculation. Therefore, this move has won the full support of the victims and fully won the hearts of the people.

Just as Corning was fully deploying its disaster relief work site, Situ Yuan came to Myanmar with a large number of aid materials. In recent years, with the vigorous development of the eastern Myanmar economy, the proportion of land in Myanmar's national economy has become increasingly large. The Situ family's investment in Myanmar has also expanded rapidly, earning enough local benefits.

Unlike before. In addition to taking his fourth brother Situ Yi, Situ Yao was also here in Yunnan. In addition, he also brought a huge economic decision-making team around him. Myanmar has just experienced a storm and is in a mess. But there are no good investment projects. Therefore, it is very strange to go to the airport to welcome Corning in person. After a warm greeting, Corning took Situ Yuan and his party to stay in the five-star Emerald Garden Hotel, which was not affected by the wind. This hotel was invested and built by Huaying Group. It has a full framework structure. During the wind, it became famous for successfully sheltering diplomats from embassies and foreigners traveling to Myanmar. It is known as the safest hotel in Myanmar.

In the presidential suite, Situ Yuan asked in detail about the storm and said: "This time I brought about an aid worth about 100 million US dollars. Three days later, the amphibious command ship of the Blue Ridge, the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier group and the Nimitz aircraft carrier group will transport supplies to Yangon Port. I hope you can say hello to the generals of the Myanmar Navy and let the fleet enter the port."

Corning was very surprised: "Brother, why do you use the ships of the Seventh Fleet of the US Navy as transport ships? How did you deal with those rigid-minded generals in the United States?"

Situ Yuan smiled and said, "Now that the US economy is gradually recovering, and we urgently need to find new economic growth points. Even the military can only serve this theme. Therefore, the White House heard me that I was coming to Myanmar with aid materials, and I assigned these ships to me to transport materials without saying a word. How about it, do you have the courage to let those warships enter the port?"

Corning smiled and said, "Since it was arranged by the master brother, what else do you fear? I happened to take the opportunity to see the style of the world-famous American aircraft carrier fleet. If possible, I would like to go to the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier to see it!"

Situ Yuan laughed when he heard this. The two chatted about their respective families again. Situ Yuan said intentionally or unintentionally: "Junior brother, so many things have happened in Myanmar in recent years. First, they were baptized by the Thai army invasion and civil war. Then, a terrible plague occurred and brought severe disasters to the world. Now, they have experienced wind disasters, with losses of at least 10 billion yuan. Can the finances still hold on? If you need any help, please speak up. I can help me as much as possible!"

Since Myanmar relies on selling vaccines and drugs to prevent and control the bye-a virus, it has been kept hidden from the Situ family, and Situ Yan, and it is understandable that Situ Yuan asked this question. Seeing that his respected senior brother cares so much, Kang Ning said guiltyly and gratefully: "Thank you for your concern. In the past few years, I still had some money in my hands when I sold Xingmatai Enterprises and borrowed from you. Eastern Myanmar is not short of money. However, the financial situation of the Myanmar government is very bad. After experiencing the plague and wind disaster, the treasury has not been 100 million US dollars in the treasury, and I have to deal with post-disaster reconstruction work. The funds are too short! If you can generously donate and solve the urgent problem, it is really hard to ask for!"

Situ Yuan nodded and then made a request that made Kang Ning stunned.
Chapter completed!
