"Before your arrival, we set up a temporary command organization for the rescue work, and the rescue work leading group is in charge of me, the governor of Wanfu is the commander-in-chief of the scene, and the responsible comrades of other departments work around the two of us." As Tong Anshan walked into the tent and sat down, Qi Tianxiang calmly looked at Tong Anshan and said: "On this basis, we have formed four teams, namely the rescue group, the aftermath group, the investigation team and the information group, according to the division of labor to carry out the corresponding work, now you are here, you come to take all the work, we actively cooperate with your work." ”

"Don't even think about it." Tong Anshan responded coldly to Qi Tianxiang's words, and seemed to feel that the words were a little unsatisfactory, so he softened his tone and added: "All the work is still in accordance with the plan you have agreed, there is no overlap between us, there is no contradiction, the comrades I brought from Beijing will soon devote themselves to the work they should do, and it is enough to have a comrade in charge of coordination and liaison." ”

Hearing Tong Anshan's crisp refusal, Qi Tianxiang seemed to be mentally prepared, and knew that he would definitely say so, so he followed Tong Anshan's words and said with a sigh of relief: "Since Director Tong said so, we have no choice but to respect your intentions, and let Secretary General Zhou Tong of the provincial government and Mayor Wang Minglun of Huayi City be responsible for coordinating and cooperating with your work. ”

Qi Tianxiang's statement made Tong Anshan feel very satisfied, and he was also satisfied with his arrangement and attitude, but the look on his face did not loosen in the slightest, and he still said seriously: "Rescue is the first job at present, and these must rely on the active deployment of governments at all levels and coal mine management departments, the coordination and cooperation of professional rescue teams and engineering and technical personnel, and the work of racing against time to minimize losses." It is too early to say anything, and only after the rescue work has come to an end can the next step of the investigation and handling work be carried out in an orderly manner. ”

"The situation just introduced by Governor Qi and Vice Governor Wanfu shows that so far, the extent of the rescue work has been carried out, and the next step will be more complex and heavy, I hope everyone here should understand and have sufficient mental preparation." Tong Anshan's stern eyes swept over the people in the tent, and said solemnly: "The number of casualties, the situation of losses, the emotional comfort and aftermath of the family, and the handling of the accident, these things will appear with the progress of the rescue work." I can't give any good advice to all of you, if I want to say a few words, that is, the lives of more than 300 miner brothers underground need to be saved, and the hearts of countless family members in the mine need comfort. ”

As Tong Anshan spoke, he withdrew his thoughts and stern topics, his eyes stayed on Qi Tianxiang's face, and he softened his tone and said: "The establishment of several groups shows that you have considered the problem very comprehensively and in place, and the rescue work and the aftermath work are carried out simultaneously, which itself has practical significance, and the information disclosure and notification are also very practical. In the past, many accidents or incidents eventually became social topics and public events, to a large extent, they did not pay attention to the timely disclosure of information, did not know how to manage and channel public opinion, so that the incident was artificially amplified and fermented, which had a very adverse impact. ”

Seeing Qi Tianxiang's slightly astringent expression, Tong Anshan stopped talking, turned to look at the people in the tent, and said coldly: "Who still needs to report the situation?" If you don't have it for a while, let's go and go our separate ways, what are you doing sitting here? ”

Seeing that everyone stood up and walked out of the tent, Tong Anshan said slowly to Qi Tianxiang and Zhang Wanfu: "You two should also go and get busy, don't accompany me, an old man, I'll go to the tunnel mouth for a turn, and then report the current situation here to the leaders of the State Council." ”

"This is not good, the situation in the underground is unknown now, you can't go anywhere." Before Qi Tianxiang could respond, Zhang Wanfu seemed to know what Tong Anshan wanted to do, and hurriedly stood up and stopped: "I need to know the detailed situation, I can invite the mine manager and engineers here, or I can bring the materials and drawings over, whatever." ”

"I'm just going to take a look, not going down the well, what are you worried about?" Tong Anshan was a little annoyed, stared at Zhang Wanfu, and then turned his face to Qi Tianxiang and said, "I arrived at the scene, but I couldn't get to the front line, how can I understand and grasp the first-hand information?" How does it work? ”

Qi Tianxiang smiled slightly, and said in a soothing tone: "What Governor Wanfu means, it is also my thoughts, you are indeed not suitable to go to the tunnel now, not to mention that the situation below is unknown, let's just say that the family members are anxious now, what will happen once it gets out of control, no one dares to draw conclusions now." ”

Looking at Tong Anshan's silent but angry expression, Qi Tianxiang knew that it would be difficult to convince him, but he still suggested tactfully: "You have been traveling for so long, you should take a break now, eat something, and then the situation will be slightly more stable, and then it will be better to go over." ”

As Qi Tianxiang spoke, he exchanged glances with Zhang Wanfu, turned his face and said to Tong Anshan without saying anything: "It doesn't affect your report to the leaders of the State Council, let's go out first, Secretary General Zhou is waiting outside the tent, waiting for your orders at any time." ”

Walking out of the tent, Qi Tianxiang and Zhou Tong, who was standing outside, briefly explained a few words, and walked to the mouth of the tunnel with Zhang Wanfu, took the helmet handed by the staff and put it on his head, pushed away Zhang Wanfu's blocked arm, and with the flow of vehicles and people in and out in a hurry, he boarded a minecart without the slightest hesitation, and drove towards the depths of the roadway under Xiao Wang's unwavering follow.

This is Qi Tianxiang's unshirkable choice, at least in his heart, to go to the depths of the alley, this is not only driven by his psychology, but also his own responsibility. Of course, such an act itself will have a certain risk, but in his current position, he can only do this.

Just like the action that Tong Anshan wants to take, approaching the command is not only a gesture, but also an action, which is an attitude in itself, which shows the determination of the provincial government and himself, and is also an incentive for front-line rescuers. To alleviate and excrete such knots, no language is as persuasive as the act itself, and it also has a certain appeal.

Qi Tianxiang needs such an appeal, for himself, but also for the rescue itself, such appeal is very important, and it can also be said to be the key to the success or failure of the rescue work.

For this reason, Qi Tianxiang had no choice.
