Li Jiatao hurriedly grabbed Lu Tao, and there was no problem. The secretary of the county party committee fell at the scene of the rescue, although it was very camera-on-camera, but it would cause a decline in the image and prestige in the eyes of his subordinates, and the gains outweighed the losses!

"Secretary, you can rest first." Liu Mingzhang, executive deputy county magistrate, stepped forward and took the initiative to ask, "I will be responsible for the reinforcement of the embankment." Rest assured, there will be no problems. ”

Before Lu Tao could speak, Li Jiatao immediately answered: "With County Magistrate Liu, you will definitely succeed and be successful." ”

The reason why Li Jiatao said this was not rash, but after careful consideration.

First, there is a reporter from Yandu TV today, and Lu Tao, the secretary of the county party committee, is already in the limelight, and he can't look too ugly, so he must always give other officials and cadres under his command a chance to perform. As long as the embankment of the No. 2 reservoir does not collapse, it will be the biggest victory for Lu Tao, the secretary of the county party committee.

Second, Liu Mingzhang, the executive deputy county magistrate, has an advantage that Lu Tao does not have, that is, Liu Mingzhang has many years of grassroots work experience, and it is naturally not the first time to experience this kind of flood fighting and rescue, and he has rich experience. Therefore, to grasp the specific rescue work, Liu Mingzhang is more suitable than Lu Tao.

Thirdly, Lu Tao has not completely controlled the situation in Xiaolei County, which is not able to grasp the overall situation for a county party secretary, and he is an unqualified county party secretary. Liu Mingzhang took the initiative to ask for help, and to a certain extent, he also approached Lu Tao, the secretary of the county party committee. If you can get the support of Liu Mingzhang, the executive deputy county magistrate, it is undoubtedly a very important thing for Lu Tao!

Fourth, this kind of work is very offensive and can be said to be a thankless drudgery. Instead of letting Lu Tao, the secretary of the county party committee, offend people, it is better to let Liu Mingzhang be this wicked person!

Of course, Li Jiatao thinks about the problem for a long time, and there are deeper reasons.

Opportunities and problems often go hand in hand, and many times, problems mean opportunities.

As soon as Li Jiatao said this, Lu Tao frowned slightly, but he quickly relaxed: "Then it's hard for County Magistrate Liu, I'll go to Shisun Village to have a look, and when I confirm that all the villagers have been evacuated to a safe place, we will open the floodgates!"

It should be said that Cao Dongyang, director of the Public Security Bureau, has really done his best to evacuate the people of Shisun Village, and he is also very steady and efficient.

Most of the people can still understand the behavior of the political axe, and they are very supportive of Cao Dongyang's work. It's just that there are a small number of people who find it incomprehensible and refuse to leave their homes.

Cao Dongyang had no choice, so he simply let his police handcuffs and carried him away! In this way, on a very high flat ground, in addition to the dense human heads, there were several handcuffed people squatting in the middle of the flat ground!

In this era, there are so many people who always toast and don't eat and drink!

However, at this time, Cao Dongyang was also very distressed, because vicious cursing voices continued to come from the crowd. The law does not blame the public, Cao Dongyang can't handcuff all the people who scold him, that will cause public anger, and then cause serious consequences that the situation is out of control.

Seeing that Lu Tao, secretary of the county party committee, was coming, Cao Dongyang breathed a sigh of relief and strode up to meet him.

"Secretary, the people in Shisun Village have been counted, there are one thousand and twenty-eight people, and there are a total of one thousand and eighteen people here." Cao Dongyang reported very respectfully, "The other one hundred and ten people, all young and strong laborers, are assisting in the rescue on the embankment!" ”

"Good work." Lu Tao showed a smile on his face, and shook Cao Dongyang's hand vigorously, "Comrade Dongyang, I am still relieved." ”

Cao Dongyang's heart was sour, and he almost didn't shed tears. At this time, Cao Dongyang felt that Lu Tao, the secretary of the county party committee, was still quite cute!

"Folks, I am Lu Tao, the secretary of the county party committee of Xiaolei County." Lu Tao walked to the center of the flat ground and shouted loudly, "Let everyone leave their homes in the middle of the night, I, the secretary of the county party committee, feel very uncomfortable, it is because our county party committee and county government axe have not done their usual work well, and here I apologize to everyone." ”

As he spoke, Lu Tao bowed deeply to the crowd.

"The water level of Reservoir No. 1 has long exceeded the warning level, which is already quite dangerous. If the embankment of Reservoir 1 is missing, the current embankment of Reservoir 2 will not be able to withstand the impact. Therefore, letting everyone leave their homes is also a measure that the county party committee and county government have to take, which is completely for the safety of the lives and property of the villagers. Lu Tao's expression was extremely heavy, and a sense of depression flowed in people's hearts.

"As long as people are there, it's better than anything else." Lu Tao continued, "If we lose our homeland, we can rebuild, and the party committee and political axe will not leave you alone." ”

"Secretary Lu, you braved such a heavy rain in the middle of the night to come to the poor and remote place of our Shisun Village, you are a good leader, and we all thank you." A middle-aged man about forty years old walked out, "However, we stalagmites have been living under this reservoir for a long time, and it has rained heavily before, even heavier than today's rain, so there is no problem." These houses are where we live, and if they were swept away by the flood, we wouldn't be able to figure it out. ”

Before Lu Tao could answer, Li Jiatao immediately interjected and said, "What you said is very reasonable, and I deeply sympathize." However, this time was unlike any before. Since the beginning of autumn this year, there has been a lot of rain. Both the No. 1 and No. 2 reservoirs were unable to discharge floodwater in time due to the blockage of the flood discharge canal. Before the rain yesterday, the water in the two reservoirs was close to the warning level. After such a whole night of heavy rain, both reservoirs have swelled, and coupled with the flash flood above Reservoir No. 1, the dam of Reservoir No. 1 is already in danger. Think about it, if the dam of Reservoir No. 1 collapses and Reservoir No. 2 does not release the flood ahead of schedule, will the dam of Reservoir No. 2 be able to withstand the impact of flooding? ”

"According to you, Reservoir No. 2 must be released immediately?" The middle-aged man understood what Li Jiatao said, and his face changed, "But these flood channels have been blocked for many years, where can the flood be discharged?" ”

"So, the flooding of the entire stalagmite village is an inevitable result." Li Jiatao said loudly, "Of course, there is an essential difference between flood discharge and flooding. If the levee collapses and the flood suddenly erupts, basically all the houses will collapse. But if it is a flood discharge, the water flow speed is relatively slow, not so turbulent. As long as the foundation of the house is honest, it will not fall. However, according to the reservoir's water storage estimates, at least three-quarters of the houses in the entire stalagmite village will be flooded, that's for sure. ”

Lu Tao saw that the people were much quieter, so he immediately took over the topic: "Folks, now there are more than 300 PLA soldiers, armed police officers and soldiers, and firefighters on the embankment of the No. 2 Reservoir, and hundreds of ordinary people who have volunteered to participate in the rescue are reinforcing the embankment. I firmly believe that the embankment will not collapse, and I, the secretary of the county party committee, will also live and die with the embankment. The state will compensate the villagers for the losses suffered in this flood to a certain extent. Regarding everyone's food and housing, the county party committee and county government axe will also make proper arrangements. The county government axe of Xiaolei County has urgently allocated 100,000 catties of rice and other related daily necessities, which will be distributed to you today. You must believe in the party and the political axe, and we will certainly be able to unite as one to overcome this difficult time. ”

Being done by Lu Tao and Li Jiatao like this, the mood of the people in Shisun Village was much calmer. Because of Li Jiatao's timely notification, the township cadres of Jiufeng Township quickly arrived at Shisun Village and did a lot of work. At the time of evacuation, most of the families brought their valuables out of the house, which minimized the economic losses as much as possible.

The most rare thing is that all the men, women, and children in Shisun Village have been evacuated one by one! That's the biggest win!

"Secretary, I'll go to the embankment and inform them to start the flood." Li Jiatao saw that it was almost there, so he said to Lu Tao with a smile.

"Be careful, too." Lu Tao wanted to speak and stopped, and finally only said such a heart-warming sentence.

At this time, it is indeed more appropriate for Lu Tao, the secretary of the county party committee, to stay with the villagers of Shisun Village.

By the time Li Jiatao hurried back to the embankment of the No. 2 reservoir, the reinforcement of the embankment had been completed, and all the people had evacuated the embankment, waiting for the order to release the floodwater.

Seeing that Li Jiatao was back, Liu Mingzhang, the executive deputy county magistrate, and Su Erdie both greeted him.

Li Jiatao glanced at Su Erdie, did not make a sound, but walked up to Liu Mingzhang, and said very respectfully: "County Magistrate Liu, the village name of Shisun Village has been transferred to a safe location, and the floodgate can be opened." ”

With the order of Liu Mingzhang, the executive deputy county magistrate, the six flood gates of Tianma No. 2 Reservoir were discharged at the same time. The cameras of Yandu TV Station immediately pointed at Liu Mingzhang, and the moment Liu Mingzhang waved his hand vigorously in the air, it formed a freeze frame!

Decisive, powerful, and bold!

Then, the camera began to turn to the six flood gates, and Xu Lei's crisp voice came far away with the loudspeaker, even masking the sound of wind and rain!

The water was rolling and rushing out of the sluice gates, rushing forward and forward...... The flood channel was blocked in many places, and soon the flood water rushed out of the flood channel and flowed out in all directions...... As far as the eye can see, the underside of the embankment is white...... The entire area of stalagmite village, because of the low terrain, naturally becomes the direction of water flow. At this time, people's hearts are very heavy. After all, it was the homes of the people of the stalagmite village that were hidden by the floods...... The water level below the levee is also rising centimeter by centimeter, which attracts people's eyes.

At this point, the sky is getting brighter...... Seven o'clock in the morning.

"Bang"! "Bang"! "Bang"! "Bang"! …… All of a sudden, the heavens and the earth changed color, people's faces changed, and their eyes invariably looked in the direction of the No. 1 reservoir.

Everyone knows that it was the dam of Reservoir No. 1 that finally overwhelmed and burst...... Fortunately, by this time, all the sluices of the No. 2 reservoir had been opened, and the water level had dropped to a place close to the warning level, and the reinforced No. 2 reservoir embankment was as stable as Mount Tai when the turbulent flood peak arrived......
