Chapter 174

Because of the follow-up interview by Yandu TV Station, the officials and cadres of Xiaolei County, large and small, were all solemn, gearing up, and had the strength to go into battle shirtless and fight on the battlefield.

Being able to have a good shot on TV and even say a few beautiful words is an opportunity for these officials and cadres to promote themselves, and no one wants to miss it.

Lu Tao glanced at the people in the conference room and quickly arranged the work: "County Magistrate Wang, you are very familiar with Xiaolei County, so I will work hard for you to stay in the dispatch room and make overall plans." If there is a problem, we will provide immediate support. I'm most worried about the White Horse Mountain, where there are hundreds of thousands of mountain people. In recent years, because mining has been out of control, there are great hidden dangers on the slopes of many places. I will personally take the people from the fire detachment and the armed police detachment to Tianma Mountain, and you can make proper arrangements for the other county magistrates. Time is pressing, so I won't say more. I only want to emphasize one sentence, that is, we must put people's lives first and keep the safety of people's lives and property in mind at all times. ”

Lu Tao also cut through the mess quickly, and did not give the county magistrate Wang Zhiyuan a chance to speak at all. It's just that Lu Tao personally went to Baima Mountain, the most serious disaster, which also made Wang Zhiyuan have nothing to say, and he must honestly implement the spirit of Lu Tao, secretary of the county party committee, who made Lu Tao the leader of Xiaolei County.

Originally, Li Jiatao suggested that Lu Tao sit in the county party committee and county government, after all, neither he nor Lu Tao was as familiar with Xiaolei County as Wang Zhiyuan.

It can be seen that Yandu TV actually sent reporters to follow the whole process, and Li Jiatao changed his mind.

Wang Zhiyuan was angry in his heart, except for Baima Mountain, there may be landslides in Wanjia Mountain in the entire Xiaolei County, and there are basically no people living around Wanjia Mountain, and there are few houses.

Now, the credit for this rescue is basically nothing to do with Wang Zhiyuan, looking at this posture, the possibility that he wants to show his face on the city TV station is also very small!

Lu Tao quickly walked out of the conference room, and Li Jiatao hurriedly followed.

While walking, Li Jiatao felt that someone was pulling his clothes, and when he looked back, it was Xu Lei who followed.

"Jiatao, I want to interview Secretary Lu Tao in the car, do you think it's okay?" Xu Lei asked timidly.

"Okay." Li Jiatao didn't think about it, so he agreed.

Xu Lei was very happy, smiling like a flower, and walking a lot brisker.

Li Jiatao sat in the co-pilot's seat, and Xu Lei sat next to Lu Tao in the back row. Lu Tao had seen Xu Lei at the scene of the accident in Wanjiashan, and he also knew the relationship between Li Jiatao and Xu Lei, so he glanced at Xu Lei and did not speak.

Silence is acquiescence, and being thick-skinned is also the first essential quality of being a reporter, so Xu Lei opened her notebook and prepared to interview Lu Tao.

"Lei Lei, don't interview yet, wait until you get to Tianma Mountain." Li Jiatao suddenly spoke up, "The situation has not been clarified yet, and your interview is not appropriate now." ”

"Oh." Xu Lei thought about it and quickly put the notebook away.

Li Jiatao took out his mobile phone and quickly pressed a line of numeric keys.

"Hey, Fluttershy, are all your people already on their way?" The reason why Li Jiatao encouraged Lu Tao to inspect Tianma Mountain was that Su Erdie was at the Tianma Mountain Military Base at this time, and there was an engineer company under his command that was about to be constructed!

"Hmm." Su Erdie's voice was not as indifferent as before, with some anxiety, "Jiatao, there is a leak in the No. 2 reservoir of Tianma Mountain, the situation is more critical, and my engineer company has all gone to the embankment." ”

"You first send a few people to cooperate with the village cadres to evacuate all the villagers of Shisun Village below the reservoir to a safe place." Li Jiatao was also anxious when he heard this, and immediately said, "Remember, at this time, human life is more important than anything else. Don't be too anxious, Secretary Lu Tao and I are on the way to Tianma Mountain, and we can get there in an hour. ”

"Okay." Surdie said softly.

Li Jiatao hung up the phone, turned back to Lu Tao and said, "Secretary Lu, I heard from Major Su Erdie that the No. 2 reservoir of Tianma Mountain is in danger, and I asked her to evacuate the people below the reservoir as soon as possible." Shisun Village has a population of nearly 1,000, and I am worried that the village cadres in Jiufeng Township may not be able to realize the seriousness of the problem......"

Lu Tao knew that Li Jiatao rarely deliberately exaggerated, and since he said so, there must be a reason for him. Besides, when he heard that the lives of more than 1,000 people were at stake, Lu Tao was also completely anxious.

"Give me the phone." Lu Tao gave a deep command and took the mobile phone from Li Jiatao's hand. Li Jiatao hurriedly handed over the phone book, Lu Tao didn't remember the phone numbers of these township cadres, Li Jiatao, the secretary, was in charge.

Lu Tao made the first call to Chang Jialiang, the party secretary of Jiufeng Township, and the phone was turned off.

"Secretary, I also called Chang Jialiang before, and it was also turned off." Li Jiatao immediately said, "You can call Qiu Dapeng, the head of Jiufeng Township." ”

"How did Chang Jialiang, the secretary of the township party committee, become the secretary of the township party committee, he was seriously derelict in his duties, and I also removed him." Lu Tao became angry, which made Li Jiatao sweat profusely, and slandered in his heart: "If I hadn't called you in time, you, the secretary of the county party committee, would have been seriously derelict in your duties, and you should be dismissed." ”

Everyone has the problem of being lenient with themselves and strict with others, but many people themselves do not admit this fact.

"Secretary, when you get to the scene, let's see if Chang Jialiang is at the scene to direct the rescue." Li Jiatao reminded him that he couldn't remove his position just because people's phones were turned off, which was unreasonable and difficult to convince the public.

Lu Tao forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and began to dial the phone again, and this time he dialed it out.

"Comrade Qiu Dapeng, I'm Lu Tao." Lu Tao immediately said, "Where are you now?" ”

"Hello secretary." Qiu Dapeng immediately said very respectfully, "I am now at the rescue site of Tianma Mountain No. 2 Reservoir, what instructions do you have?" ”

"Immediately evacuate the villagers of Shisun Village below the reservoir and let them evacuate to safety." Lu Tao commanded in a deep voice.

"However, the secretary ......," replied Qiu Dapeng, "the situation is not so critical now, so why don't you wait a minute?" It is not yet dawn, and when the sky is hazy, I will immediately arrange for people to evacuate the crowd. ”

"No, execute the order immediately." Lu Tao has blind trust in Li Jiatao many times, and without thinking about it, he said very simply, "If something goes wrong, you will be fully responsible." ”

"Okay then." When Qiu Dapeng heard this, he hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, the secretary, I will immediately go to the evacuation work in person." ”

"Hmm." Lu Tao nodded, "Is Comrade Chang Jialiang at the scene?" ”

"This ......," Qiu Dapeng said, "I heard that Secretary Chang went to Yandu the day before yesterday and hasn't come back yet, and I can't get through to his mobile phone." ”

"Chang Jialiang has been dismissed, and you are temporarily acting as the secretary of the Jiufeng Township Party Committee." Lu Tao immediately said murderously, "Remember, it's a temporary agent, if something goes wrong tonight, you, the township chief, don't have to do it." ”

"Yes, I will not compromise the instructions of the executive secretary." Qiu Dapeng's voice suddenly became much higher, "Please rest assured, the secretary will ensure that the task is completed." ”

"I've worked hard, and I'll rush to the site of Tianma Mountain No. 2 Reservoir as soon as possible." After Lu Tao finished speaking, he immediately hung up the phone.

"Secretary, it is estimated that the surname of the obliteration of Shilagmite Village is relatively large." Li Jiatao said in a deep voice, "Su Erdie brought an engineer company to the embankment, she is a strong person, if the situation is really critical, she will definitely not say it." ”

When Lu Tao heard this, his face turned ugly. It was not yet dawn, and if we wanted to safely transfer all the more than 1,000 people in Shisun Village, it was a lot of work, and it was easy to make mistakes.

"Secretary, let County Magistrate Wang Zhiyuan prepare reinforcements." Li Jiatao thought about it and suggested, "If Shisun Village is completely submerged, the problem of food and housing for more than 1,000 people must be solved immediately." ”

Li Jiatao has a strong premonition, not only the No. 2 Reservoir of Tianma Mountain cannot be saved, but even Su Erdie will be in danger!

"Old Sun, hurry up." Li Jiatao urged the driver.

"Jiatao, what can I do?" Xu Lei originally listened to Li Jiatao's words to praise a woman named Su Erdie, and called Xiao Die so affectionately, she felt a little uncomfortable, but as soon as she heard that the lives of more than 1,000 people were at stake, she immediately took the initiative to ask for help.

"You are a girl, you should pay attention to your own safety." Li Jiatao glanced at Xu Lei, "Follow me when the time comes, don't run around." Also, when the time comes, remember to check whether the money and food, especially the grain, distributed to the victims are consistent with the amount allocated by the county government. ”

"Why are you worried about this?" Lu Tao couldn't help but say, "Who dares to lie on this issue?" ”

Li Jiatao's lips squirmed a few times, but he still didn't say anything in the end.

Xu Lei sweetly agreed, and seeing that Li Jiatao cared about her safety, her heart blossomed.

The wind was strong, the rain was heavy, the sky was thunder and lightning, and the darkness before dawn made the mood particularly terrifying.

The wind on the embankment was very strong, and as soon as the umbrella was opened, it was blown up and rippled in the opposite direction, and the hand could not control it at all. Moreover, it is very dangerous to use an umbrella on the embankment, and if you are not careful, you may be taken down by the umbrella to the embankment as high as more than ten zhang, and your brother will be crushed!

Li Jiatao simply threw away the umbrella in his hand and walked on the side of Lu Tao in the direction of the reservoir, just in case. Lu Tao is a northerner, a typical landlubber, if he falls into the reservoir, he is afraid that there will be a supremacy!

At this time, Lu Tao's spirit of forging ahead made Li Jiatao very admirable! Although he was a weak scholar, Lu Tao was striding forward at this time without the slightest flinch!

"Secretary, slow down, be careful, watch your step." Li Jiatao had to remind loudly that the sound on the embankment was too loud, and the sound of soldiers' horns, wind and rain, and screams filling sandbags was endless!

Lu Tao turned a deaf ear, strode forward, and went straight to the middle of the embankment.

When Li Jiatao saw Su Erdie, he almost couldn't believe his eyes. At this time, Su Erdie had become a clay figure, except for the big moving eyes that were still fluttering, the rest was surrounded by muddy water.

On Surdie's shoulder, she actually carried a sack weighing more than 100 pounds, and stumbled forward...... "Fluttershy, I'm coming." Li Jiatao hurriedly snatched the sack from Su Erdie's shoulder, carried it on his shoulder, and threw it into a churning whirlpool under the embankment.

Only then did Su Erdie discover Li Jiatao, with a hint of crying in his voice: "Jiatao, this embankment is about to be unguarded, but there are still many people below who have not evacuated." ”

This time, Su Erdie was really anxious, although she was an excellent special forces commander, it was the first time to participate in such a rescue. What's more, she is the only commander-in-chief, and panic in her heart is inevitable.

Li Jiatao roared: "The embankment is in the people, and the embankment is destroyed and people are killed." ”

Su Erdie was slightly stunned, how do you feel that today's Li Jiatao is very much like the head of the army, and he immediately shouted slogans as soon as he arrived at the scene!

As soon as Li Jiatao finished speaking, he snatched a sack from a soldier, and pressed it on Lu Tao's shoulder without saying a word, and the staff of Yandu TV pointed the camera at Lu Tao, the secretary of the county party committee of Xiaolei County, and shot wildly.

"The embankment is in the people, the embankment is destroyed and people are killed!" Lu Tao's reaction speed was also very fast, and he immediately raised his fist and shouted. It's just that Lu Tao's body is too thin, and he can't straighten his waist by a bag of more than 100 catties of hemp, let alone go forward. Li Jiatao hurriedly stretched out his hand behind him to support it, and Lu Tao was a little more relaxed!

Lu Tao, the secretary of the county party committee, played an exemplary role, and the officials and cadres of Xiaolei County who came over also shouted loudly: "The embankment is in the people, and the embankment is destroyed and people are killed!" ”

Who can't shout slogans, and what officials and cadres are best at is shouting slogans. All of a sudden, the shouting on the embankment shook the sky, even overshadowing the sound of wind and rain, this is the momentum like a rainbow!

"Fluttershy, you're the commander, how can you carry a sack." Li Jiatao grabbed Su Erdie, who was still going to carry the sack, and said urgently, "How is the situation now?" ”

"The main thing is that this hole can't be filled with a sack." Su Erdie said urgently, "The water level of the No. 1 reservoir above also exceeds the warning line, and if the No. 1 reservoir dam is crossed, it will not be able to hold it at all." ”

"Don't worry, there will be a way." Li Jiatao wiped the sweat from his face and said in a deep voice, "Such a big whirlpool, it doesn't work with this kind of sack weighing more than 100 catties, it was washed away not long after filling it, and I have to find another way." ”

"If only military trucks could go up the levees." Su Erdie muttered, "I'll have the military trucks pushed directly into this whirlpool, and I'll definitely be able to plug this hole." ”

"Military trucks?" Li Jiatao muttered a few times, but his eyes lit up, "Yes, aren't there a few fishing boats over there?" ”

Before Xu Erdie could react, Li Jiatao immediately ran to Lu Tao's side and said a few words loudly in Lu Tao's ear. Because the sound was too noisy, Xu Erdie couldn't hear it clearly. However, Xu Erdie was a lot more relieved, knowing that Li Jiatao must have found some way.

Xu Erdie still trusts the wisdom of Li Jiata. For Li Jiatao, Xu Erdie also has an inexplicable sense of trust!
