Chapter 296: Heavy Rain in the South
The flood of '98 was a once-in-a-century disaster, and the disaster would take a heavy toll. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThis is a natural disaster, and the impact of star fruit's personal ability on this matter is like a drop in the ocean, and all she can do is save more people in the disaster.
In order to cope with the flood, in order to cope with the possibility of bursting the levee, fortunately, the company's headquarters is already making flood control cement piers. Unfortunately, time was pressing, and the concrete was difficult to solidify in wet and rainy weather, so I simply changed my thinking and used steel.
After dealing with the company's affairs, Da Ming went to the company's playground to inspect these iron guys. Like the historical "Atlantic Barrier", these lumps of iron should be very good to throw in the water.
The rainy weather makes people feel bad, and Daming knows that her adoptive father is leading officers and soldiers to fight the flood at the moment. This trip to the south is also to help my future father-in-law, and at the same time, to do my part for the country.
The report on flood relief has been broadcast on the TV station for the past few days, and Daming also has some understanding of the road ahead. The flood came suddenly, and the roads were muddy after a long period of rain. Officers and soldiers rushed to the disaster relief site, each carrying shovels to strengthen the embankment, and only a small number of helicopters circled in the sky searching for the villagers who did not retreat in time.
Wang Jing was most worried, the son in her arms still didn't understand what was on TV. The officers and soldiers are fighting against the sky, and in order to protect the safety of the people, they naturally have to rush to the front line. What if the husband has three longs and two shorts? The flood showed no mercy, and if it was swept away, it would be certain death. Since my daughter is going over, wouldn't it be nice to go by myself?
"You better not go, you stay home with your children. There aren't many children to take care of by you, they can't live without their mothers. "Old man Hu is enlightened, yes, now he is no longer an ordinary wife. The husband is for everyone, and his past is of no help to him, but is it very helpful for his daughter and son-in-law to pass?
She called the siblings to her side to inquire about it. "You two must go to the flood control site, it's very dangerous there, and Mom is very worried about what you have to do with your strengths and weaknesses."
Carambola said: "Mom, don't worry, this time we have been prepared, and we will provide heavy helicopters when necessary." Wang Jing is not very clear about the concept of heavy helicopters, star fruit made an analogy, so the problem of heavy construction machinery can not be sent to the scene is the difficulty of the road, and the domestic helicopter is difficult to transport the crane excavator to the site by air, and the company's Mi-26A is completely OK.
Old Man Hu was very curious about this, "You really got a helicopter, how many of you have it, can you really bring the excavator up?" About the latest in Russia as the brother and sister have not been with him. At this moment, Zhong Haokai, who was at home, told him that the old man knew about digging oil, and he was informed of the plane purchase incident in April.
He listened very emotionally, and there were not only one but three large planes with a load of twenty-five tons. The children lived up to their expectations, and he felt that it was very reliable after listening to the explanation of star fruit. The key to disaster relief is to project power, and he decided to call directly to ask if he needed assistance from neighboring countries.
Star fruit also successfully contacted her adoptive father, who was far away at the scene of the flood relief, and declared that she and her brother must go.
At this moment, Hu Chenghe is in County A, which is far away from the station and is almost to the neighboring province. He received an order from his superiors early, and more than 1,000 officers and soldiers all put on life jackets, and everyone put down their steel guns and replaced them with shovels. At first, the army was driven by car, but as the road progressed, the roads were muddy and the cars fell. He couldn't delay time like this, and he ordered the whole army to march on foot, and it was because of this that the army did not delay the date.
When they arrived in County A, the division headquarters ordered them to be stationed here to guard the embankment along the river. The surging Yangtze River water is rushing, the upstream is also raining in the rainy station, the first wave of the flood peak hit on the 12th, the embankment is firmly defended, but there are still some sections of the river overflowing, and the flood washes away some people's houses.
The battle to defend the embankment was no less than a war, with the soldiers carrying sacks on their shoulders to reinforce the embankment, and some of them went deep into the village to organize the evacuation. Some villagers were also organized, knowing that guarding the embankment was guarding their village and the lives of their families.
The combat readiness phone was also quickly connected, and I thought that this was another new order from a superior, but when I received the call, a familiar business came.
"Dad, we've arrived in Hangzhou 1 Prefecture, and we want you there soon." Hu Chenghe was shocked, since his daughter was coming, he thought he would have to wait for many days, but he didn't expect them to move very fast.
The siblings set off with some baggage, trucks pulled some cement piers to the south, and when they arrived at the factory in Hangzhou 1, a new order was given to start producing scaffolding and iron barriers.
After discussing the plane with Mr. Hu that day, Tuva also called on the Chinese embassy to provide a study. This federation did not refuse, and this time under the name Tuva will supply one Mi-26A, two M171s, which were previously purchased.
The state agreed to the request for relief from Tuva, so that preparations for the aircraft began, and the auxiliary fuel tanks were mounted for the long-distance flight. The planes will fly over the Pamirs, then guided by the Chinese army to the disaster area, first arriving at the location of the Hu Cheng River's troops, all of which Hu Cheng River does not know.
After saying goodbye to Hang 1 Zhou and Mu Tao and others, the convoy continued to move forward after bringing a new baggage. The heavy rain will not fall all the time, it is the intermittent period of heavy rain, and the convoy must arrive on time. The siblings were nervous, and the area along the way was wet, and as they went deeper into the disaster area, some afterimages came into view.
Along the way, there were many people wearing hats and raincoats, and some soldiers wearing orange life jackets were trotting all the way.
Hu Chenghe was ready to greet him at the camp, and the arrival of his daughter this time really brought good things. He saw a slender little guy push open the car door and call out to his father affectionately, this is the adopted daughter he hasn't seen for a long time. He walked up and stroked his daughter's face in the drizzle. "You shouldn't have come, it's dangerous here."
"It's the danger that we're coming, and I brought a message from my mother. She said everything is fine at home and you have to take care of yourself. ā
Da Ming got out of the car and looked at the father and daughter with an umbrella, and quietly stepped forward. "Uncle, we brought a lot of supplies this time, and there will be a plane to pass in a few days."
Hu Chenghe raised his head, "You are Yang Mingzhi, you have grown taller again." He patted Da Ming on the shoulder and approvingly, "Xiao Liu, you come and lead my two children to the camp." ā
The accompanying workers were also ordered by Hu Chenghe to participate in the disaster relief, including people and vehicles. At the time of the national crisis, everything must be prioritized for disaster relief, and some workers are reluctant to claim that they are just here to deliver goods, Hu Chenghe does not let them talk nonsense, and now all are under military control.
They approached Yang Mingzhi and said, "We are here to transport goods, what if we don't go back to our wages?" The salary is not a problem, for them had to temporarily pay the salary, Da Ming reassured: "The head of the regiment here is my father-in-law, I am the boss, you all listen to me, and you will pay 10,000 a month for participating in disaster relief." The promise of a salary of 10,000 attracted everyone, and everyone was eager to try it one by two.
The daughter and future son-in-law came, but now they are confined to a makeshift camp. The camp was a small hill with an altitude above the current level of the river, which was high enough to withstand the worst of the worst even though the river had long since exceeded the critical level.
In late June, the whole world is humid because of the heavy rains, which is the most susceptible to bacterial growth. When the tent was set up, the medical staff sprayed it again, which was considered disinfection. Da Ming brought in the small amount of luggage and assembled the folding bed, and he recruited his sister in. "Well, we're going to live here for the rest of the day."
"It's pretty shabby." Star fruit saw that the ground was a wet grass, and the temperature was only in the early twenties, and the wet and cold weather was quite devastating to the human body. She sat on the bed and sighed slightly: "The last thing I like is dampness, and I can only endure it now." ā
The brother and sister lived here, and their arrival had no practical significance. In order to avoid being considered a burden, the convoy of the two also brought a lot of food and pure water. The food is instant noodles, high in calories and salty, and when a soldier with a lot of sacks on his back takes a break and drinks a bowl of spicy soup.
Those cement piers and iron barriers were also removed, and Hu Chenghe wondered for a while, how should these things be used? Da Ming said that once these things happen, the easiest thing to plug the gap after the rupture still has to consider the most dangerous results and be prepared.
Two crawler excavators finally arrived in the evening, and their arrival accelerated the excavation. During the day, the soldiers and villagers all fought on the embankment, and at night the camp snored loudly. After eating, Hu Chenghe came to the tent of the two children to talk.
The daughter is older, and they are wandering outside again, so they should talk. He asked a lot, his daughter's life and family affairs, and his daughter-in-law and son He had a very close relationship. "Dad, when the flood recedes, I have to go back to Russia, Xiaoyue was invited by the state to live in the capital, you really won't be able to see me often in the future."
"When the child is older, you have to go on your own, and you and your brother have to take care of yourself in Russia." Hu Chenghe sighed.
The two daughters were brought by their wives, and they never needed to be taken care of by others, but both of them had their own careers at a young age. At this time, I really should have a good chat with my daughter, and even give their two little orphans a hug as a father. "Then, girl, let Dad hug you, you also need father's love."
She glanced at Da Ming and thought about it, so let's accept the man's invitation. Hu Chenghe hugged his daughter and kissed her on the head. The battle here was very hard, and it was so good to let his family suffer with him, so he let go of his daughter and instructed in the language of the command: "You two stay in the camp honestly, you must not go to the danger on the embankment." ā
"No, I'm going, we're bringing a secret weapon this time!" Star fruit said solemnly.
"We're still going up to the levee, but it's just another form." Da Ming said with a smile: "The heavy planes we bought in Russia will arrive here in three days at most, and the load of more than 20 tons can transport more excavators, and even 150 people can be transported in one go when it is dangerous." ā
"Is this true?" Hu Chenghe asked in surprise, and the two nodded at the same time. "If that's the case, then maybe the combat decision will have to change slightly."
