Chapter 576 Thousands of miles to help, living up to the reputation of a national hero

In fact, Lin Cheng organized this disaster relief operation too hastily, but fortunately, Zhu Wulin gave them an official greeting, so that Lin Cheng's convoy could be unimpeded on the roads of the three provinces, and sent countless necessary materials to the PLA soldiers and ordinary people in the disaster area.

In the past few days, Lin Cheng's volunteer fleet has been running at full capacity, with three shifts per vehicle, each driving for eight hours, and the other two seizing the time to rest.

Thanks to their tireless efforts, as of August 7, the convoy had been back and forth in the disaster area, sending more than 50,000 tons of urgently needed relief materials to the disaster area.

However, compared to this catastrophic flood, the efforts made by Lin Cheng's team are still very small, and at 10 pm on August 7, the embankment of the Jiujiang section, one of the most important levees for flood control in East China, still burst as in history.

These days, Lin Cheng, as the commander-in-chief of the volunteer team, has to dispatch materials and run with the team, which is also very hard, but fortunately, his body is different from ordinary people, and ordinary people would have been tired a long time ago.

Regarding the bursting of the Jiujiang embankment, Lin Cheng, as a reborn person, naturally had already been mentally prepared, but he didn't dare to reveal the news to the outside world in advance, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain the reason, and others wouldn't listen, and he would only cause trouble for himself.

Lin Cheng knew that the government was very effective in dealing with the breach of the Jiujiang embankment in history, and Cardinal Liu Fu of Jiangxi Province had already made a plan for the breach of the embankment, and immediately sank a large ship carrying 3,000 tons of coal to block the opening, blocking two-thirds of the water in the breach, and gaining valuable time for the evacuation and plugging of the people in the disaster area.

After the big ship sank, there was still a gap on the side, and the officers and men of the People's Liberation Army and the armed police used sand and gravel to plug it; in history, they blocked it for three days and three nights before closing the opening, and the biggest difficulty encountered was the lack of stone, and sometimes in the absence of stone, the rice, soybeans, corn, and wheat in the warehouse were all used.

Since he knew that there was a lack of stone for the embankment of the Jiujiang River, Lin Cheng naturally would not sit idly by, and since August 6, Lin Cheng has consciously ordered the logistics department to collect stones.

On the afternoon of August 7, after seeing the news of the Jiujiang embankment bursting, Lin Cheng immediately commanded a convoy to transport stones to the Jiujiang River.

It's just that today Lin Cheng just gave the order to set off, and after getting into the Audi car, he saw a beautiful woman in the car.

"Cui Ruyun, why did you get into my car, go down, I'm going to the disaster area. Lin Cheng reprimanded.

"I am your special assistant, you have been busy for a few days and nights, and you need someone to take care of you, so I specially came to take care of you on the order of Vice Chairman Zhu. Cui Ruyun said with a smile.

Then Cui Ruyun picked up a dry towel, wiped the rain off Lin Cheng's body, and took a lunch box from the thermos box and handed it to Lin Cheng.

She looked at Lin Cheng's eyes full of obsession and admiration, and said gently: "This is the home-cooked dish I specially cooked for you, and it is the most famous plum vegetable button meat in my hometown, you can taste it." ”

Lin Cheng has lived an ascetic-like life these days, smelling the aroma of plum vegetables and meat, he can no longer hold back his appetite, takes the lunch box handed by Cui Ruyun, and pulls it up in a big gulp.

Cui Ruyun looked at Lin Cheng's appearance of taking a big bite of rice, and for some reason, he felt that Lin Cheng was the most attractive at this time, and his little heart was beating throbbing.

……

In the majestic rain, the Yangtze River water poured out from the breach, and the brave PLA soldiers braved the heavy rain and carried sandbags to the breach, but they were quickly washed away by the flood.

"Cardinal Liu, what should I do if I run out of stones?" a PLA cadre reported urgently to Liu Fu.

"So fast?" Liu Fu was stunned for a moment, obviously feeling the anxiety in his tone, "Go to the grain depot and have a look, and use rice, soybeans, and wheat to top it when the stones are used up! In short, the work of blocking the breach must not be stopped!"

"Yes, cardinal!" the PLA cadre hurriedly replied.

"Woo woo woo ......"

At this moment, the roar of a motor came from the road in the distance, and Liu Fu said in surprise: "What's going on at this time?"

The cadre who had just been ordered to go to the grain depot to carry rice rushed to Liu Fu and shouted, "Cardinal Liu, someone has brought the stones!"

Liu Fu was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Take me to see it!"

……

That's right, what made Liu Fu overjoyed was Lin Cheng's team that came in a hurry.

They set off on the afternoon of August 7, but because the convoy was too large and the heavy rain was pouring down, in order to avoid the mountain floods and mudslides encountered along the way, they also made several long detours, and the 1,000-kilometer journey from the Qingjiang River to the Jiujiang River originally only took more than 10 hours to arrive, but they drove for nearly 50 hours until 3 o'clock in the afternoon of August 9.

Lin Cheng drove more than 700 large trucks this time, transporting nearly 10,000 tons of stones, all of which were running at full capacity, and 15 were broken down on the road.

In order to hurry, the 15 trucks that broke down had no choice but to give up, leaving 15 people to guard the road and contact the local towing department.

However, fortunately, there were no casualties, and most of the stones were transported to the Jiujiang embankment.

As soon as the convoy stopped, Lin Cheng, who was at the head, got out of the Audi car and saw a group of people running over, followed by many PLA soldiers.

The leader of this group of people was undoubtedly the anxious Liu Fu, as soon as he saw Lin Cheng get out of the car, and then saw the respectful appearance of the people around him to Lin Cheng, he knew that Lin Cheng was the person in charge of the team.

Liu Fu hurriedly grabbed Lin Cheng's hand and asked cordially: "Little comrade, I am Cardinal Liu Fu of Jiangxi Province, where are you from?"

Lin Cheng hurriedly said: "Hello Cardinal Liu, I am Lin Cheng, President of Lin Group, after seeing the Jiujiang embankment breach in the news on the afternoon of the 7th, I knew that a large amount of stone was needed for the rescue work, so I organized a volunteer team of the group to transport nearly 10,000 tons of stone from eastern Guangdong. ”

Liu Fu was shocked when he heard this: "You are not a government unit, but a corporate volunteer?!"

Lin Cheng nodded in response: "It is the traditional virtue of our Chinese to support from all sides when one side is in trouble, I hope it doesn't cause trouble to your government." ”

Liu Fu shook his head again and again: "Where are you?!" Your Lin Group is not causing trouble, it is timely rain! I, Liu Fu, thank you on behalf of the people of Jiujiang!"

Lin Cheng hurriedly said modestly: "Cardinal Liu is serious, I am also a party member, the motherland is in trouble, and it is appropriate to contribute to the country." ”

At this time, the cadres around him recognized Lin Cheng as a national hero some time ago because of the acquisition of South Korea's Daewoo Motors, and hurriedly reminded Liu Fu in his ear.

Liu Fu held Lin Cheng's hands again and exclaimed: "It turns out that you are Lin Cheng who has been praised as a 'national hero' by the people of the whole country! Very good, you have lived up to the honor given to you by the people!"

Lin Cheng was very modest in his praise for this, and after greeting Liu Fu, he began to direct the convoy to unload the stones and assist the PLA soldiers in blocking the breach.
