Chapter 495: Flood Fighting and Rescue
"Now is not the time to complain."
"If something goes wrong, we're going to suffer too."
Everyone was very helpless, the dilapidated conference room was full of smoke, and there was not even the most basic ventilator. Only open the window to breathe.
Liu Xianming went home and slept beautifully.
……………………
Next.
The leaders of Yanjing City still insisted on being on the front line, and even Chen Xiaoshan did not go back, so when he was sleepy, he went back to the makeshift tent to squint for a while, and when he was hungry, he soaked a pack of instant noodles to solve the problem. After staying up all night, in the early morning, the rainstorm finally became a lot less. After more than 1,000 people, a night of arduous struggle and hard work, the dam finally did not leak. The crowd stood on top of the embankment and cheered.
However, there is still a worry between Chen Xiaoshan's eyebrows.
"Secretary Chen, we have won." The secretary on the side hurriedly said, "Great, I can finally go back." ”
"Nope." Chen Xiaoshan shook his head and said, "This victory is temporary, there will be heavy rainstorms in the next two days." I'm afraid I still need to hold on. ”
"Secretary, it's better to take advantage of this time to open the floodgates." The secretary said hurriedly.
"That's absolutely not going to work." Chen Xiaoshan immediately shook his head and said, "The people below are not having a good time, once the floodgates are opened, it will inevitably lead to the destruction of the embankment below." The losses will be very heavy. We cannot ignore the interests of others for the sake of immediate gain. ”
"Yes, yes, I'm ignorant." The secretary hurriedly said, "It's just that your father is still in the hospital, do you want to go back and take a look?" ”
"That's fine." Chen Xiaoshan nodded and said, "Let's go." ”
Coming down from the embankment, along the way, you can see the armed police soldiers sleeping on the floor, they are very tired and sleepy after a busy night. After the rescue was successful, they still had to stick to the embankment, so they simply found a random place to sleep.
Chen Xiaoshan looked a little moved, he sighed, and said, "Let people prepare more hot water, and send hot food." ”
"Yes, I'll do it." The secretary nodded.
Chen Xiaoshan was also soaked, and his legs were even more muddy, looking at his dirty body, he didn't care at all, just thinking about his hospitalized father.
Yanjing City's flood fighting and rescue was successful, but Nanxian County was tragically devastated by floods.
At about four o'clock in the morning, the overwhelmed levee finally burst under a large wave of floods, the gap was huge, and the huge flood poured down, and in the middle of the night, the residents were sleeping, and the flood rushed in, and many people never woke up.
The huge flood beast devoured and swept away the qiē, and the village closest to the levee was wiped out in an instant, and the villagers soon disappeared into the flood. A large number of people along the route were threatened by flooding.
Di Di Di ......
Liu Xianming was still dreaming at home, and he was awakened by the sound of a phone call, and he picked up the phone. There was an exclamation on the other end of the phone: "Secretary Liu, it's not good." Aixi Lake burst its banks. Die...... Numerous casualties were immense. The flood is overflowing......"
"What?!" Liu Xianming's sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and he hurriedly asked, "Is this ...... What's going on? ”
"The embankment burst at 4 a.m. and has completely flooded more than a dozen natural villages." The secretary panted and said, "At this time, it is estimated that there are more than a few hundred dead and wounded. ”
"It's over. Finished. Liu Xianming let out a cold sweat, and he hurriedly said: "Quick, immediately notify the disaster relief department and the armed police brigade, and let them dispatch assault boats to save people immediately." Also, let the driver pick me up. ”
"Okay." The secretary nodded.
At half past five in the morning, the sky was slightly bright. Liu Xianming put on his clothes, ignored brushing his teeth and washing his face, ignored his unkempt hair, and rushed downstairs quickly. Liu Xianming's car came soon.
"Secretary, are you going to the front line?" The driver asked hurriedly.
"No, find a car wash first." Liu Xianming hurriedly said.
The driver didn't understand, but he still did as Liu Xianming instructed. Arrived at the car wash. Liu Xianming said directly: "Wipe my car with yellow mud, the sooner the better, I will pay a hundred yuan." ”
When the guy at the car wash heard this, he was paralyzed, how can a good business not be done? The road is full of yellow mud, and you can just use a basin to sprinkle the yellow mud on the car. One hundred dollars is easy to earn. The driver was a little distressed, and the clean car had to be smeared with a layer of yellow mud, and he had to wash the car again.
"Let's go." Liu Xianming was in a hurry.
The driver hurriedly drove to the front. Along the way, Liu Xianming called his secretary: "Secretary Li, immediately notify the media to rush to the front line for an interview, and I will be there immediately." ”
"Yes." The secretary nodded immediately.
Liu Xianming was flustered in his heart, and he was also damn to blame for overindulgence last night, he vaguely remembered that Secretary Li seemed to have told him about the flood in Aixi Lake last night, and he didn't take it seriously at all, but now it's good, the flood is rampant. The good news, though, is that things are not without room to make amends. Yiqiē can only rely on his own acting skills. The car is already mushy, and the next thing is to rely on itself.
When the driver arrived at the disaster area, the yellow, muddy flood had engulfed many homes, some people had moved to a safe place, and many people were standing on high ground waiting for the government's rescue, and the government's rescue work had not been carried out, it was six o'clock in the morning, and it was still raining in the sky. A cold wind blew in the air, and everyone had to huddle together to keep warm.
"Secretary Liu is here." Suddenly, a shout pulled everyone's confused eyes back. Everyone looked towards the car covered in yellow mud. After the car stopped, Liu Xianming rolled up his trousers and walked towards everyone regardless of the qiē, the road was flooded with yellow mud, and he was run over by the car countless times, like a road that mixed flour.
"Secretary Liu." The crowd gathered around.
"Folks." Liu Xianming swallowed a mouthful of saliva, at this time, the rain had already soaked his whole body, and he said in a 'serious voice': "The government is not effective in disaster relief, I am guilty." But rest assured, you will soon be able to be accommodated. ”
After speaking, Liu Xianming turned his head and reprimanded Secretary Li: "Secretary Li, what's going on?" Quickly call the people of the Cross Society and ask them to come and settle these victims as soon as possible, and in addition, mobilize non-governmental organizations to resettle these disaster victims, and take care of these ordinary people at any cost. ”
"Yes!" Secretary Li nodded hurriedly.
Groups of victims were brought in, men, women, and children, the youngest was only the size of a full moon, and the oldest was already 85 years old.
At this time, media reporters had already rushed to the scene. Liu Xianming did not give them the opportunity to interview, but rushed to the front line of preemption.
Thump......
The man 'accidentally' fell into the yellow mud.
"Secretary Liu, Secretary Liu!" Secretary Li panicked.
At this time, reporters and media aimed their long guns and short guns at this scene. Liu Xianming hurriedly got up from the yellow mud, looked at the media camera with a smile, and said, "What is this?" Our people's houses have been washed away, and their families have been sacrificed, what is it for me to fall for rescue and disaster relief? Go, follow me to the front! ”
After speaking, Liu Xianming stepped onto the assault boat.
"What a good secretary."
"Good secretary of the people."
Many of the victims of the disaster have been feeling it, and these people have lived in the countryside for many years, and their communications are not developed, and they do not know much about some of Liu Xianming's actions. Now seeing Liu Xianming's actions, I am all very moved. Naturally, in order to win attention and add a touch to this rescue and disaster relief, media reporters naturally wrote a lot of pen and ink to report on Liu Xianming's rescue and disaster relief.
………………………………
Three days later, the water level stabilized and the weather cleared.
More than 2,000 people, spending three days and three nights, raised the embankment several meters high, and this embankment was several kilometers long. The distance between the three dikes was nearly ten kilometers, and more than 2,000 people, who had not slept for three days and three nights, finally strengthened the dikes, so that the flood beasts did not invade the people along Aixi Lake. The safety of people's lives and property has been guaranteed.
Seeing that the flood fighting and rescue work came to such a perfect end. Chen Xiaoshan also took a deep breath and said, "We finally succeeded. ”
"Secretary, this is the first rainstorm in the summer." The secretary smiled: "In the future, with this thousand-mile embankment, we can also sit back and relax." ”
"No, it's a ploy." Chen Xiaoshan exhaled a breath of turbid air and said: "Even if the rainstorm comes in the future, we can at least slow it down, but no one knows that this year's rainstorm will come so suddenly and rhythmlessly, more than half a month earlier than the rainstorm in previous years." ”
"yes!" The secretary nodded and said worriedly: "Now the seasons are chaotic, and the impact of human beings on the environment is getting bigger and bigger, and there will definitely be chaos in the future." If you don't protect the environment well, there will be problems sooner or later. ”
"Hmm." Chen Xiaoshan nodded and said, "This is why I don't agree with Yanjing City to take the road of an industrial city." If even the most basic living environment is polluted, what do we leave to future generations? ”
"Alas......" the secretary sighed.
From the beginning to the end, there were no reporters and media involved in the disaster relief work in Yanjing City, and Chen Xiaoshan was in charge of it alone, so naturally it was not known to the outside world. And Nanxian is different, Liu Xianming is good at hype, and any little fart is publicized by him. In this rescue and disaster relief work, many people sacrificed themselves for work and their families for work. A lot of singing and crying things have been circulated.
And Liu Xianming's own image has also been magnified because of this flood relief work, and many people's understanding of Liu Xianming is precisely because of this report. Soon, Liu Xianming's image and deeds spread to the provincial party committee. A leader of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Provincial Party Committee who was guiding the work happened to see this newspaper, and he personally found Chen Kaiguo.
