Chapter 140 Because the Motherland Will Not Forget

"This is what you wanted, the latest model of high-speed train. It is currently in the late stages of testing, but its top speed can reach 75 km/h. It adopts a magic-guided/internal combustion engine hydraulic transmission structure."

"This is it. Are you sure everything is ready? This mission is extremely urgent."

"Yes, Mr. Minister, we were just preparing for our final test drive, and it just so happens to be in time..."

"Alright! Let's drive!"

"Train SF-00001, you have the highest right-of-way. Transfer to the railway transfer yard!"

The entire Amelansi was still under a partial mobilization system under the national mobilization order, so even though the dawn of freedom and peace was beginning to appear, nothing was relaxed.

"Citizens of Amelansi! This mission comes from Her Highness Princess Alice! She has ordered us to immediately proceed to Aran, this little-known town. Some have asked: Is it worth mobilizing so many manpower and resources for an earthquake? Is it worth spending so much money to rescue those farmers? You must understand, Aran is just an ordinary town on the railway line, with neither industry nor resources!"

"Aran is an inseparable part of our great Amelansi motherland, and the citizens of Aran are part of the great citizens of Amelansi! Citizens! Warriors! Do not ask why! Because the motherland will not forget your sacrifices today! Every citizen of Amelansi will not forget your sacrifices today!"

Long live the nation and the people!

"Long live Ameliancy!"

Helicopters roared overhead, and sky warships took off from massive docking facilities. Steel constructs meant to harvest life were now being used to save lives. In the town, smoke billowed. The fire sources originally used for cooking and forging had shifted due to the earthquake, igniting some of the fuel. The fire began to rage, while the survivors under the rubble were unable to move.

Local troops cleared the site, and a disaster emergency control team from the National Emergency Management Department arrived first, bringing professional equipment and management knowledge in orange jackets.

"Yes, that's right. We need to isolate the water source. In this situation, it's crucial to prevent the spread of disease. All water used for rescue and daily life must be disinfected and boiled before use!"

Like other places, Aram's water source is underground wells, and there is no custom of drinking boiled water. The hygiene habits and regulations of northwestern Aram have not been extended to the south. After the disaster, it is highly likely that the water source will be contaminated. The first thing the disaster emergency control team does upon arrival is to protect and purify the water source to prevent secondary disasters.

Did you bring military tents?

"Yes, team leader."

"Okay, Eriksson! How's it going?"

"Only the town center square can be considered safe; frankly, other places are not ideal resettlement locations."

"Okay, Commander, I need 30 people to clean up the city center square and set up all the tents there!"

"Alright! Ekravis! You take the company and obey his orders!"

"Yes, sir!"

In the face of natural disasters, only human power can save everything. Soldiers in olive green uniforms used their own hands to remove the rubble piece by piece, searching for survivors.

"There are live ones here!"

Three soldiers pried open a wooden plank, beneath which lay a mother, already lifeless, but her child sleeping peacefully in her arms. One soldier took the infant from the deceased woman's hands, while a medic waiting nearby took the child and ran towards the medical station under the white flag with red serpent staff and bat wings.

Looking out, above this hell on earth, there was still hope. A survivor of Aramean County remarked this sentiment. Within an hour of the disaster, amidst the wailing and cries of the ruins, lines of vehicles and trucks made their way to them.

For thousands of years, who has ever seen a country like this? Who has ever seen an army like this?

The rescue work was arduous and painful. With mortal bodies, they were saving lives under the mighty power of nature. No one dared to say that they could soothe everything; they were just doing their best.

Along with the army came their cooks, pots, pans, and field rations. Food procured by the troops was also transported to the disaster area. Before the resettlement sites were fully established, noodles, bread, and meat were provided. Of course, the rice unique to the south also enabled them to cook liquid food, with meat porridge being the first to be provided.

"Eat up, there's more if you're not full!"

A bowl of noodles, a sandwich—hot food is the most comforting thing. After surviving the disaster, the canteen in the resettlement area is like the most glorious monument in the eyes of the victims. Some people tremblingly accept the food, some bow, some keep saying the word "thank you," and some just remain silent with tears in their eyes.

Amidst the ruins, the dead were wrapped in white cloth, and the living stood solemnly, bidding them farewell. As the sun was about to set, the massive sky battleship, the Watcher, arrived in Aran.

"Turn on all searchlights and prepare for dispatch."

The moment this behemoth appeared, it immediately attracted attention from all sides. Every journey it made was followed by eyes from both inside and outside the country. Several external spies chased the northward-bound warning ship, and a team arrived in Aran.

"What are they doing...?"

"For disaster relief... this is quite a large-scale operation. Such a massive aerial beast, used like this..."

“What a waste!”

"No, it's just making the best use of resources."

An MI-08 landed, and a pure white figure jumped off the plane, raising a megaphone in her hand. Alice arrived at the scene 12 hours after the disaster. As soon as she landed, she saw the ruins and the people on and off the ruins.

"Fellow citizens! Soldiers! All citizens on the front lines of disaster relief! You have worked hard! The nation and the people thank you for your contributions! Our army arrived at the scene immediately after the disaster to carry out relief work, and our nation's industry and technology have contributed greatly to this disaster relief effort!"

Alice walked through the ruins, and many people looked at her. The local residents affected by the disaster stared at the little princess in disbelief.

"Oh my god... that is...!"

"There's no mistake...it's her...why is she here?"

Alice pumped her fist, continuing to encourage everyone: "All these events demonstrate that our nation and citizens of Amelansi have a strong sense of unity, and no difficulty can overwhelm us! The nation and people of Amelansi are invincible! I firmly believe that we will achieve final victory! Hang in there! For the nation and the people! Long live the great people of Amelansi!"

The searchlights of the warning ship descended from the sky, the artificial light replacing the sun's brilliance, even brighter than the sun itself. Alice spent the entire night moving through the ruins, coordinating and understanding the situation from all sides.

Because in another world, when she was still a child, there was also a group of people who saved her hometown in the same way.
