Chapter 1060: Appeasement
"Mayor Liu," County Magistrate Gao lowered his voice, his face showed a trace of despair, "The upstream is the reservoir, and if the rain continues like this, the reservoir capacity will definitely not be able to withstand it, and then our entire county will ......."
"Don't think about it, before the typhoon came, I had already notified S City to let them open the gate and release water, and S's reservoir was designed according to the level of a flood once in a thousand years, and it would definitely be able to support it, otherwise what would I do in your Dongshan County?
The whole county knows that there is a reservoir in the upper reaches of Dongshan County, and from the beginning of the flood, rumors of the embankment burst have spread, and as the rain gets heavier and heavier, many people who originally didn't believe it have begun to believe it, and even the county magistrate Gao felt hopeless.
Although the work is still going on in an orderly manner, this undercurrent of panic has been surging, once people are shrouded in pessimism and despair, they will make a lot of irrational and uncooperative actions, if they are not controlled, once they break out, they will be completely out of control.
Liu Haohao's words made everyone's hearts flutter, if Dongshan County was really going to suffer a catastrophe, how could Liu Haohao, as the mayor, come in person? Is she not going to die? This is obviously impossible.
They will be saved!
Thinking about it this way, the original impetuous and desperate mood gradually calmed down.
"Why did your communication with the outside world break off?"
"The telephone cable was washed away by the flood, and the newly built communication base station was also washed away...... "The county magistrate Gao said bitterly, these are all just built with a large amount of money, and there is no profit, so they are all lost.
The disaster in Dongshan County is so serious that not to mention the communication is interrupted, and the power poles are not known how many have been washed out, and the entire county is in a state of power outage.
"What about the radio communication equipment?" Liu Hao frowned, she had considered the problem of communication before, and asked all counties and districts to prepare radio communication in advance in case of emergency.
Even if other communication facilities were destroyed by the flood, as long as the county government was still there, the radio could still be sent, but Dongshan County has never been able to contact the outside world, so she just had to come in when she faced the Dongshan Bridge, which was about to collapse at any time.
County Magistrate Gao's face was full of shame, "I tested it before the typhoon came, but as soon as I opened it just now, I don't know what happened......"
Liu Hao glared at him fiercely, but now is not the time to hold him accountable, besides, who can blame the equipment for falling off the chain at a critical moment?
Even if she brought a satellite phone down, the satellite phone has a power limit, and it is not a long-term solution.
At this time, Huang Qi stood up, "Why don't I try it?"
Facing everyone's skeptical eyes, he explained to Liu Haohao, "When I followed the chief before, I tinkered with this thing. ”
"Let's try it. Liu patted him on the shoulder, but he didn't have much hope, and now he can only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
"We went to a few towns to see how it was going. ”
"It's too stormy outside, and you're still commanding the county government. Gao Xian boldly suggested that once he went out, no one could guarantee Liu Haohao's safety, maybe it was a flood rapid, maybe the trees were lodging, and the buildings were collapsing, and the risk was too great.
"If I can see the situation in all the townships and towns below in the county government, then I will stay here! I will stay in the county government, I might as well stay in the city!" Liu Haohao said angrily, "It's all this time, and you still want me to sit in the conference room and listen to the report? If you don't go out, can you make a report? If you don't see the actual situation, how can you arrange the response?"
"It's too dangerous out there......"
"You're not afraid, what am I afraid of?"
Liu Hao took the lead to go out, the county magistrate Gao had to follow, when he went out, the rain had risen to the first floor of the county government, and several people could only put on life jackets and take the assault boat out, because the wind and rain were strong, the assault boat not only had to withstand the wind and rain, but also pay attention to the big guys such as trees washed down the river, and everyone was worried along the way.
The county government was flooded, not to mention other places, the situation in the townships and towns along the way was not good, the only consolation is that the people have been safely transferred, so the property has been damaged, and the conditions of the location of the transfer are not good, but at this time, saving people is the most important thing.
"I don't want to live anymore!" a gray-haired old lady cried and grabbed the ground, and such a strong wind and rain did not stop her sharp cry.
"What's going on?"
"Her husband and son died early, and her daughter-in-law ran away with someone, so she took her grandchildren to live, relying on the family's acre of land, and the rice in the field was hanging ears, and it would be harvested in half a month, and there was nothing left after this flood......"
"It's not just her, the land in the whole county has been flooded, not to mention the rice in the fields, and even the fruit trees in the mountains have been flooded......"
The two children hugged her thighs with frightened expressions.
"I can't live this day, I can't live anymore, let's all die......" The old lady beat herself like crazy, beating her grandchildren, the two children hugged her to death, without saying a word, everyone else looked at them numbly, no one went up to persuade them, and the pain in their hearts was no less than her.
"Old man, the government will subsidize you for your losses. Liu Hao stepped forward and persuaded in the dialect of Q City, "It's okay if people are fine, the two children are still young, you have to raise them, don't talk about what is dead or not, as long as the people are still there, life can go on." ”
"There is no land, no money, no house, how can I live?"
"We will allocate funds to help you build a house, and we will also compensate you for the loss of Qingmiao, as well as various compensations, which will definitely not make you unbearable. ”
"Who are you?" the old lady looked at her suspiciously.
"She is our mayor, specially from the city, you can rest assured, there is a loss, but it will definitely not make you unbearable, we will help you share it together, the mayor has spoken personally, you still don't believe it?" said the county magistrate Gao.
Everyone's eyes widened.
"You're the mayor?" someone asked incredulously.
"Yes, I'm Liu Haohao. ”
"I've heard of Mayor Liu, and it was her idea to teach us to grow oranges. ”
"It's also her idea to reward children for reading well. ”
"It's her, it's ......"
"The mayor has personally said that he will give money, and he will definitely give it!"
Perhaps the subsidy cannot fully compensate for their losses, but it can bring a glimmer of hope to their desperate life and give them the courage to start a new life.
There is a sentence she said that makes special sense, as long as people are still there, life can go on.
