"Comrade Xuemei, you have been wronged organizationally, the decision of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee two days ago has been revoked before I came to Xinjiang, Secretary Tao ...... The work of the new county is still to be presided over by Comrade Xuemei, she can stand the test, the people of the new county need such good 'parents', our political axe needs such good cadres, and Comrade Ling Han of the county party committee office has a firm stance and a strong surname in principle......"

In a warm applause, Xiang Xuemei bit her lower lip and let the tears flow down, Ling Han said a sentence called 'bitterness is sweet', this moment came too quickly, and before she could taste her own loss, she was thrown to another height without warning.

Among the cadres in the county, Gu Xingguo smiled, bowed slightly to Ling Han and Xiang Xuemei, Du Nanjiang shook hands with everyone respectively, when Gu Xingguo was introduced, Du Nanjiang held his hand and didn't let go, he also came into contact with the three words 'Gu Xingguo' in the past two days, 'old and strong', is he old? He's not old, he's fifty-four or fifteen years old at most, and he's still energetic, at least he's not as old as himself.

"Comrade Xingguo's article is very sharp, to the point, straight to the truth, I saw such a tough pen in the discipline inspection cadres of our province, at that time I read a feeling like sitting on a needle carpet, all good, the people need you like a good cadre with a blood surname, high consciousness, willing to adhere to principles and positions, Secretary Tianwang, the two sessions of the New Year's New City, I will vote for Comrade Xingguo, do you admit it?"

The scalps of the surrounding cadres are numb, Governor Du, you almost give Gu Xingguo an official directly, right? Such an obvious thing to say?

Of course, Du Nanjiang can't help it, he came to Xinjiang City this time to 'slap the face of the provincial government', with this posture to rehabilitate the "wronged" cadres, he can also gain higher prestige and reputation, not only admitted the "mistake" in public and soothed the people's hearts, but also showed the broad-mindedness and courage of ministerial-level senior officials, so that more people can appreciate the demeanor of the "governor", it can be said that it can be counted in one fell swoop!

Su Jingyang also shook hands with the cadres one by one, and finally shook hands with Xiang, Gu, and Ling, he is the former secretary of the Xinjiang Municipal Party Committee, and his reputation is still above Tao Tianwang, so these people are humbly dealing with this 'foreword', Su Jingyang knows the identity of Ling Han in his heart, and his daughter is in love and entanglement with him, his wife Zou Yuehua has already said in detail, he also has his own views on this young man, entangled with Liangliang and Jiang Yun, and it always has to be solved, how can he not let it go? But when I think of what happened to me back then, my heart is sad.

"It's because I didn't do my job well back then, and I left endless troubles for Xinshi, and I have to bear this responsibility......"

"I am also responsible...... Tao Tianwang also came up to speak, can the former mayor and the current secretary of the municipal party committee be not responsible?

"Alright...... Now is not the time to talk about responsibility, we have more important things to do in front of us..."Du Nanjiang interrupted them.

……

The leaders extended the tents and cordially expressed their condolences to the people, and the reporters flocked to the outer layer, crowding to shoot the moment. It wasn't until almost 1 o'clock in the zero morning that Du Nanjiang and Su Jingyang got on the helicopter and returned to Baiming, when the cold wind rolled up and the snow fell heavily......

As soon as the provincial leaders left, the city leaders also retreated, and in fact, Qinghepu was the 'epicenter' and it really took a lot of courage to stay here.

The ambitious Tong Zhenyun has just been in power for two days, and he was stripped of his power before the third day, I thought that this time Xiang Xuemei was 'finished', and the possible surname of returning to Xinjiang County was basically equal to zero, but I knew that there was suddenly an 'earthquake', what the does this mean?

Just picked up Xiang Xuemei and a big fart, and a small deputy director was angry, 'Tianyan'? That's a fucking exaggeration, isn't it?

Xiang Xuemei 'naturally' sent Liao Renzhong, the deputy county magistrate, back to preside over the county's disaster and earthquake prevention work, before this, Tong Zhenyun had already sent Cheng Huanzhang back to organize the work, she now thinks that Liao Renzhong should be used in a high-profile manner, let Tong Zhenyun fight for power with him.

Before nightfall tonight, the provincial radio station, the city radio station, and the county stations are all broadcasting the 'disaster and earthquake prevention', and all localities are actively doing a good job in all aspects of work, and they should not be taken lightly, the earthquake is a natural disaster, and the destructive power is how big it is, and the current scientific level cannot be completely measured, and the only thing that can be done is to prevent and prevent it again, and prevent it from reducing the losses caused by the earthquake to a minimum, and at more than 12 o'clock in the night, the city cut off the power supply.

On this night, all the people who knew that the earthquake was going to be scared and couldn't sleep, some wanted to let themselves 'sleep to death', hoping that when they opened their eyes again, everything had passed, and some couldn't sleep, and they could still stare at their eyes after taking sleeping pills, and the scared sleeping pills were ineffective.

The comrades of the Earthquake Bureau and the Water Conservancy Bureau were also busy all night and couldn't sleep, they wanted to come up with a plan to deal with the threat of the reservoir, but there was no practical plan, some people suggested that the frozen sluice gates should be blown open to release the flood, but the comrades of the Earthquake Bureau thought it was more dangerous, and the comrades of the reservoir management also said that it was inappropriate, the reservoir dam had reached the point of repair, and the bearing capacity was difficult to estimate, and it would be even worse if the dam collapsed, and the magnitude of the earthquake could not be predicted, and no one knew whether it could collapse the dam. So there's no way to fight around.

Ling Han slept heartily in the Mercedes-Benz car all night, and when Lin Ming opened his eyes, he found that Xiang Xuemei beside him actually leaned over, with her head pillowed on her thighs, her beautiful eyes were swollen with closed eyes, and her long black eyelashes were slightly curved upwards, she should be too tired, she was in a bad mood in the past two days, and naturally she was not well rested, and she was shocked by the new outbreak yesterday, and I don't know what time she fell asleep in the second half of the night...... The faint woman's fragrance emanated, and the even sound was very subtle, and it seemed that she couldn't move for the time being.

It was almost eight o'clock in the morning, and the sky was actually just bright, and it looked very gloomy. Through the brown car window, you can see the people who have been busy, the fire is still smoking, the sky is still sprinkled with fine snow, because the weather is shrouded in a sultry heat, so that the snow that falls down has become water, to be precise, this is called rain and snow, it must be winter, a little 'sultry' is not enough to dispel the cold current, when the cold wind hits one by one, people are still shivering, alternating between cold and hot, this feeling makes people very uncomfortable.

Of course, all these mutations have shown that disaster is approaching, and many people look in the direction of the reservoir from time to time with helpless eyes.

The location of the Mercedes-Benz park is on the periphery of the camp, it was dark in the second half of the night, no one paid attention to where Xiang Xuemei went, and now no one knew that she was on the Mercedes-Benz, Tie Bing and Rong Jie got out of the car early, wandering back and forth in front of the car and behind the car, and the tiredness could not be seen from their faces.

In the distance, several cars were coming up on the rugged dirt road, and Ling Han knew that the city leaders were coming again, and Sister Xiang couldn't sleep.

This kind of weather is indeed very worrying, knowing that there is going to be an earthquake, who is also under an invisible pressure in their hearts, the 'earthquake prevention working group' established yesterday is Tao Tianwang personally in charge, the main leaders of the municipal party committee and municipal axe are members of the group, the first and second leaders of the districts and counties are also members of the group, and the leaders of the relevant departments such as the Earthquake Bureau, the Meteorological Bureau, and the Water Conservancy Bureau are also members of the municipal axe.

Until about half past nine in the morning, the overcast rain and snow showed no signs of stopping, a bunch of leaders gathered in the army-green tent tents, worried about the floor plan of the Qinghepu Reservoir, Tao Tianwang, secretary of the municipal party committee, Li Yibin, deputy secretary, mayor, Li Dongshan, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, Wang Hanyang, member of the Standing Committee of the municipal party committee, secretary of the discipline inspection commission, Guo Yumin, member of the Standing Committee of the municipal party committee, secretary of the political and legal committee, Liu Guobiao, member of the Standing Committee of the municipal party committee and director of the organization department, and others were all present……

Comrades from the Water Conservancy Bureau, the Earthquake Bureau and other departments were also present, all of them concentrating and calm, their expressions were extremely serious, and their hearts were also extremely heavy.

"Secretary Xuemei, talk about your opinion, comrades are very different, flood discharge, no flood; The comrades in the county also expressed their position! ”

Xiang Xuemei and Ling Han discussed this issue for a long time in the car last night, and now the supporting theory of flood discharge is: to reduce the powerful destructive force caused by the collapse of the reservoir dam caused by the earthquake. Sooner or later, the flood must be discharged, and the supporting theory of non-flood discharge is that whether the reservoir embankment can withstand the power of the explosives just enough to blow up the flood mouth needed to discharge the flood, if the mouth is too big, the dam can not withstand the pressure of the reservoir and collapses in one fell swoop, the consequences are unimaginable, although the personnel of the downstream villages and cities are on guard against evacuation, but the flood will inevitably cause immeasurable damage to the city's infrastructure, and everyone has a miserable picture of the blistering new city in their minds.

"Secretary Tao, I thought about this issue again and again last night, the flood must be discharged, how much can be discharged, we can't hope that the magnitude of the earthquake is small, we can't damage the dam of the reservoir, nor can we hope that the dam of the reservoir can withstand the destructive force of the earthquake, we can't afford to gamble, the construction of Xinshi has invested our countless financial and material resources and the energy of several generations, in case of losses, the economy and development of Xinshi may go back to more than ten years ago, who can accept such a fact? Can we? Can ordinary people do it? Personally, I'm a proponent of flood relief. ”

"I agree with Secretary Xuemei's opinion, and I am willing to bear all the consequences caused by it......" Han Jianyi followed firmly.

Gu Xingguo and Zhang Dongcai both followed the steps of the 'county party committee' and expressed their resolute support, only Tong Zhenyun looked at Tao Tianwang and did not speak.

He didn't speak because Tao Tianwang was a supporter of not discharging floods, and the people from the Water Conservancy Bureau explained very clearly that the dam of the Qinghepu Reservoir was in disrepair, and there was no guarantee that it could withstand the damage of the bomb and the internal water pressure, and that opening an opening would undoubtedly reduce the overall bearing capacity of the dam, and who could guarantee that the opening would not continue to fission and expand under the impact of the flood? What if it triggers a total burst of the levee?

Xiang Xuemei said at this time: "We can choose to use 12 flood gates as flood outlets, although the gate freezes due to improper maintenance, but blowing open the gate is the only way not to destroy the total stress structure of the embankment, at least ...... We can give it a try. ”

Wang Zhenmin, director of the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau, said with a wry smile: "Secretary Xiang, after on-the-spot investigation, we found that the ice frozen by the overflowing water outside the gate was more than one meter thick. ”

The people present frowned, and Wang Zhenmin said again: "According to the further detection of the comrades of the Earthquake Bureau, the stratum reaction is getting bigger and bigger, and there may be an earthquake tonight at the latest, even if we blow up a few small openings to release the flood, 300 million cubic meters of water will not be much!" ”

There was silence in the tent again, only the sound of everyone's breathing remained, Tao Tianwang's eyes inevitably passed a trace of sadness, Su Jingyang went well, politically he was 'blessed', he was not affected by the Xinjin incident, and he would also avoid the consequences of the reservoir incident, but the newly appointed secretary of the municipal party committee bore the brunt of the fate! Luck! Now I regret that I didn't make up my mind to discharge the flood before, alas...

Li Yibin is also quite depressed, the new mayor has not been in office for a few months, but he has to suffer the biggest political setback, he can't accept that Xinjiang has regressed to the appearance of more than ten years ago, when most of the city is washed away by water, how many people's homes will be turned into a pile of rubble, and how many newly built infrastructure will be destroyed and lost? Is Xinjiang facing the fate of complete reconstruction? Are you here to take on that responsibility?

Heavy, absolutely heavy, all the people are breathless, before the Chinese New Year's Eve in 2001, will Xinjiang City become a Xinjiang 'village'?

At this time, Ling Han and Cao Tiemian of the X regiment were standing on the highest hill where the front of the reservoir could be observed, Ling Han took the telescope and carefully looked at the 12 sluice gates that were frozen again, they were completely integrated with the main wall of the embankment, how could they be blown open?

Cao Tiemian also smiled bitterly and said to him, the explosion can be blown up, but there is no guarantee that the levee will not be damaged at all, in fact, the damage may be great, the ice is not a mud floating soil, it is very solid, Ling Han whimsically asked him if he could use a flamethrower to melt the ice?

Cao said that this was a good idea, but the X regiment did not have this kind of equipment, but the special forces 'Halberd Division' had a super flamethrower.

"Then you go to the temporary headquarters to reflect this proposal, and let the city leaders contact the commander of the military division."

At 11:25 a.m. on January 22, 2001 (the 28th day of the lunar calendar), the engineering commando team of the 'Halberd Division' rushed to the embankment with a 'flamethrower' and began the 'ice melting operation' after hanging it in the air...... At fourteen o'clock in the afternoon (2 o'clock), after more than a dozen loud bangs, 12 gates were torn apart by armor-piercing bullets at the same time.

Turbid steaming water gushed out from the 12 gates, and for a while, countless people who saw this scene were a little excited......

But Ling Han didn't have the slightest joy in his heart, he clearly remembered that the time of the earthquake was around sixteen:20 p.m. that day, and there were still more than two hours to go, how much water could be discharged in two hours? Just now, the comrades of the Water Conservancy Bureau tested and analyzed it and came up with a data.

The discharge volume of each flood gate reaches 60-80 cubic meters per second, which means that each flood gate can discharge an average of 252,000 cubic meters of water per hour, and the 12 gates can discharge nearly 7 million cubic meters of water in nearly two hours and 20 minutes.

7 million, compared to 300 million, how small is it? Almost negligible, Ling Han couldn't help but smile bitterly.

At this time, many people were looking at Ling Han, this young man's figure was too tall, no matter where he stood, he was extremely eye-catching, although he kept a certain distance from the 'leaders' at this time, but these people all had to throw a glance at him from time to time, naturally his expression of shaking his head and smiling bitterly also fell on the observation of those who cared about it, Xiang Xuemei was one of them, after this incident, her trust in Ling Han was close to the end of the day, what kind of luck he could catch up, he and he were touched, did he predict that it would be' What about the heavens' wrath?

After careful analysis, Tao Tianwang also came to the conclusion that the initiator of "Reservoir Crisis" should be this 'Deputy Director Ling', so he has many ideas that others may not think of, as soon as he thought of this, he saw Xiang Xuemei looking at Ling Han suspiciously, so he said: "Go and listen to what Ling Han has to say?" ”

The words of the secretary of the municipal party committee made everyone re-evaluate the value of Deputy Director Ling, does he also have the right to speak in this kind of big event? In fact, "On the Hidden Dangers of Qinghepu Reservoir" and "Reservoir Crisis" have his participation, do you say that people have the right to speak?

When a bunch of leaders came over with Tao Tianwang, Li Yibin and Gu Yuntian, the commander of the military division who had just arrived, many people began to envy this showy deputy director again, and the eyes of a person standing far away spewed out an unregulable light of jealousy, it was Lu Yongjian, who originally submitted the Qinghepu Reservoir repair case, and it was he who reminded Ling Han of this incident, 'Credit'!

It is undeniable that the opportunity to discharge the flood has been missed, if it was yesterday afternoon to start the flood, it would be different, but yesterday has been a mess, and there is no relevant departments to determine the detection, the leaders can not make a plan, in fact, last night was still arguing about the issue of whether to discharge water, if you seize the time of the day, it is entirely possible to discharge 100 million cubic meters of water, but now it is too late......

"Xiao Ling...... You're also one of the original contributors to the reservoir crisis, do you have any good advice for the bigger picture? ”

In the face of the personal inquiry of the secretary of the municipal party committee, Ling Han, the little deputy director, also showed due respect, "Secretary Tao, I just roughly calculated that 12 flood outlets can only discharge 3 million cubic meters of water per hour, I don't know how much time God will give us......"

In fact, the biggest key to preventing this earthquake is the reservoir problem, and there is no way to prevent other problems, what can you do with those high-rise buildings? Hold on and don't let him collapse? Unrealistic, the only hope is that the magnitude of the earthquake is too large, without the impact of the water, it can still control the loss, once the water in the reservoir bursts, the buildings that have been 'shaken' can still withstand the impact.

When it comes to how much time God will give, all the people have no confidence, and the anger of the sky is unpredictable, and it may break out at any time.

"We can only do our best to obey the destiny of God, and in the face of natural disasters, our human strength is still too weak......"

"Yes, but Secretary Tao, I have a bolder idea, which was forced out by calculating the amount of flood discharge just now......"

At this time, everyone's eyes converged on Ling Han's body again, Xiang Xuemei's heart beat faster for no reason, this guy's 'bold' idea is generally unimaginable, what did he think of? Tao Tianwang, Li Yibin, and Gu Yuntian looked at each other, and their faces became solemn.

"Let's talk about it, Xiao Ling, the sky is about to fall, what are we afraid of being bold or not, do you say ......" Tao Tianwang said in a deep voice.

Ling Han nodded, turned around and stretched out his hand to point to the Shuangjiao Peak not far away, and said: "Leaders, you see, the reservoir is located in the double fork peak, we will never allow 300 million cubic meters of ruthless water to wash away the construction achievements of our Xinjiang City for more than ten years, since the flood discharge is meaningless, just block it in the double peak, and don't let it ruin the achievements of the people of Xinjiang over the years, we ...... Blow up the Twin Peaks! ”

It's really not shocking, blow up the double peak, this ...... All of them didn't think about this possible surname, and they were all stunned for a while.

Those are two mountains, blow them up? Take what to blow it up? Just kidding, what kind of force do you have to use? Missile Forces?

Everyone was smiling bitterly, including Gu Yuntian, the commander of the military division, he said: "Xiao Ling, blowing it up is not a simple word, at least my halberd division does not have this ability, the halberd division is an elite infantry assault force, of course, there are some heavy weapons, but to skillfully and flexibly use these two peaks to block the water of the reservoir, it is not an ordinary bombing method, the heavy artillery brigade is powerless, this is not the most critical problem, in peacetime, even if it is a live-fire exercise, it has to go through the field to inspect the position, I have the right to order the people below to blow up the reservoir, but I don't have the right to blow up the mountains in Nanshan, let alone use heavy weapons, my division commander doesn't have that power, and I don't have the ability, alas......"

Tao Tianwang and Li Yibin glanced at each other, and smiled bitterly at the same time, in normal times, the city also has the strength to do the 'opening of the mountain', but it is obviously impossible to bring down these two peaks in a hurry, how to blow it up? In which direction should the mountain collapse? It's all going to be carefully designed, and it's not something that can be done in a day or two by looking at the terrain, so what else can they do now but smile bitterly?

Xiang Xuemei rolled her eyes even more, this guy's tone is not small, do you say that if you level it, you will level it? Are you carrying a shovel?

But Tao Tianwang gritted his teeth and stared at Shuangjiao Peak and said, "This situation can be reflected to the province, and let Governor Du coordinate the provincial military region." ”

Time passed minute by minute, it was just past 3 o'clock in the afternoon, there was still no response in the province, and the faces of the people were even more silent, the abominable rain and snow were still falling, and a thin mist was steaming above the reservoir in the distance, and the ice on the surface seemed to be shaking gently.

The sky was gloomy as if someone owed it a lot of money, and the dark clouds in the northwest were pressing towards it, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger.

The ringtone of the ear-piercing mobile phone suddenly screamed, and everyone present stared at Tao Tianwang holding the mobile phone in his hand, all of them nervous......

(To be continued)
