Haiyuan County has the highest number of deaths and the highest proportion of deaths in all disaster areas. Xie Jiarong's "Gansu Earthquake Report" describes the Haiyuan earthquake as follows: "At 7 o'clock in the evening of the same day, there was a major earthquake, and there was a sudden strong wind and black fog, and red light was seen. At the time of the great earthquake, about six minutes into the calendar, the ground was like a ship, and people could not stand, and the direction of the shaking seemed to come from the northwest and go to the southeast, and there was a sound like thunder. Soil and rock mountains have collapsed and moved, especially soil and mountain collapse. Cracks are found on the flat slopes of different lengths. There are many springs in the cracks on the flat ground, and their color is either green or black. There are many places where landslides block rivers, especially Nanxiang. On the cliff kiln of Yang Ming Houbao, Dongxiang Wanghao Fort Hejiagou two places, the landslide is blocking the river, the water is dozens of zhang deep, five or six miles long, more than ten zhang wide, and the water flows backwards. Suddenly, a strong wind was seen, and the earth and mountain collapsed. After the Nanxiang water well was more dry, the children of the county governor Zhong Wenhai and the police officer Zora were all killed at the same time because the government office was dumped by the earthquake. The houses in the city were almost completely flattened, and most of the original earth buildings of the city walls were destroyed. ”

The great changes that took place that night in Haihara cannot be described in thin words, the mountains that move at night, the avalanches that fall like waterfalls, the great cracks that sink into houses and camels, and the qiē that sweeps the village into a sea of rising soft earth...... Feng Zhilu, a survivor of Gongbei in Jiucaiping, Haiyuan County, described the filming crew of the documentary "Where I Walk in the Mountains" a few years later, "The time and the earth shook ...... Our place shook the mouth of the mountain and threw it down, and the mouth in the valley was so wide. Where people sit, the mountains collapsed and came down. Dong Shanzheng, another survivor in Xi'an Township, Haiyuan County, also said, "The mountain of Wanjiashui has merged, the two mountains have merged, and the sheep and people are gone, and they are all buried under the mountain." ”

The earthquake created a fault zone of more than 200 kilometers in the area, and one lake even migrated several kilometers due to the slope of the ground. The slopes of the loess were shaken into powder, forming loess flows, and the casualties were even more severe because the local residents lived in earthen caves. When the earthquake struck, it was already dark, and many people stayed at home because there were no electric lights, not even oil lamps. The mouth of the earthen cave was mostly blocked by the earthquake, there was a cave that was later dug up by the villagers, and it was found that it was not completely destroyed, a person lying on the table, suffocated to death because there was no air, it seemed to be drinking water before he died, and there was something like oil in a bowl on the table, as if it was vomit in the human stomach.

The casualties were enormous. In February of the following year, the "Northwest News" reported that "half of the county town collapsed, and Feng Junhanying, a student in Beijing in Haiyuan County, Gansu Province, received a letter from home, saying: "The earthquake on the evening of the seventh day of the first month, my township was particularly badly affected, the houses in the whole city were flattened, and the people were killed and injured in the first ...... My family of more than 40 people, except for my father and grandmother, all returned to the catastrophe. The house is gone, and nothing remains. More than 60,000 people were killed and injured in the county......" and "livestock were killed and scattered, and wolves and dogs also came out to eat people." ”

"The Haewon earthquake has now been determined to be 8.6 magnitude." Ma Qianli, vice president of the Earthquake Disaster Research Center, reported to the heads of state and leaders of military and political ministries that the earthquake center had reached the conclusion that "the epicenter was located between Xiangmaying and Dagoumen, west of the county seat of Haiyuan County, and the scope of the earthquake was very wide, among which Haiyuan and Guyuan in southern Ningxia, Jingning, Huining, Jingyuan, Tongwei and Weiyuan in central and northern Gansu, and western Shaanxi were the most severely affected. This is the highest intensity earthquake recorded in China, and it is also the highest intensity earthquake in human history. The earthquake was recorded by 96 earthquake monitoring bureaus around the world, and several jù have also been confirmed by many parties. Aftershocks are expected to continue for some time to come. At present, the observed surface fault zone develops northwest from Guyuan Nihe to Li Junbao in Haiyuan County, and passes through Xiaojiawan, Xi'an Prefecture and Ganyanchi to Jingtai, with a total length of 220 kilometers. This earthquake is a typical intra-plate earthquake with a long recurrence period. The "global earthquake" that occurred in Haiyuan was by no means accidental, and it was determined by the specific geological tectonic environment in which it was located. From the perspective of geological structure, Haiyuan is located at the junction of the Alxa Massif and the Ordos Massif, and its main structure is the Wusheling-Liupan Mountain arc tectonic belt. ”

"Vice President Ma, on behalf of the Government Council, I ask you to do your best to form a scientific, detailed, conclusive and reliable report on the causes of the earthquake, and submit it to the Government Council for review and publication."

"Yes. Premier. I will submit the report to the General Office of the Government Council as soon as possible. Although Ma Qianli is a scholar, he also understands that it is no accident that this matter has been personally listened to by the leaders and heads of state who have a lot of opportunities, and he certainly will not take it lightly.

After Ma Qianli withdrew, Xiong Bingsan's frowning brow had not yet loosened. "It's not a good thing to be number one in this world, Brother Kikuto, how many people do you think our results will be accepted?"

"Those who believe will believe, and those who do not will never believe. But this is a matter of attitude, our government cannot always keep its voice out, as for those clowns, there are laws waiting for them. "Xu Shichang's instructions just now everyone understands, but now rumors have appeared in various places, saying that the restoration of the imperial system is the source of chaos, and the theory of God's punishment is rampant. Of course, Xu Shichang must take resolute measures, otherwise he, the premier of the Government Council, will not be in vain.

"The clearer is self-clearing, the announcement should not be concealed, the most critical thing in front of us is disaster relief, human life is as big as the sky, in the golden 72 hours after the disaster, everything has to make way for the disaster victims." Wu Chenxuan has already issued a general mobilization order to all departments, not only government departments have been mobilized, but also organizations such as the Tzu Chi Association and the Charity Federation have also started large-scale fundraising, and all internal security units in the northwest have also been mobilized. The divisions of the 10 th Group Army, which had just been replaced from the northern front, had immediately ended their vacations in Xi'an, Lanzhou, and other places, and all personnel and equipment had been put into emergency rescue and disaster relief; all the engineers and transport troops of various units and the transport planes of the Royal Air Force had been mobilized; the Ministry of Police and the Ministry of Communications had also issued a plan for traffic control in the northwest, and all the police officers had taken up their posts to ensure the smooth flow of traffic. "Elder Xu, Elder Xiong, General Staff Duan, the government, the parliament and the army must make every effort to rescue and provide disaster relief, as for the matter of domestic stability, it will be handed over to the Ministry of Homeland Security and the Ministry of Social Investigation to deal with, and the judicial organs should also pay attention to maintaining social stability, do not engage in large-scale arrests, only ask the people behind the scenes, and do not arrest the puppets in the front office."

"Yes, Chief." He Minhan and Yu Jian took the order, Xu Shichang and Xiong Xiling both sighed secretly, this time look at who doesn't look at the muzzle of the gun, hey, you can't live if you do your own evil, die early and reincarnate early.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs should also pay attention to and mobilize overseas Chinese to raise donations, I don't care about the number of overseas donations, but I want them to share the same fate with the motherland. In addition, Britain, the United States, France, and Italy should strengthen communication, win the attention and sympathy of the people of these countries, and use public opinion to contain their governments. It is necessary to maintain a high-pressure posture against Red Russia, and if necessary, it can carry out small-scale air strikes. As for Japan, the main thing is to ensure the fulfillment of the Treaty. ”

"In general, the Japanese side submitted a diplomatic letter today, claiming that Japan has applied for a postponement of the payment of compensation for this quarter due to domestic economic difficulties, and also proposed to give Japan some of the same tariff thresholds as European and American countries in terms of market access in China. They're still talking about the same kind of clichés, so I won't repeat them. ”

"Well, it's really a virtue that takes advantage of people's danger. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs must argue on the basis of reason to maintain the strictness of the Treaty, and in the event of an extension, the corresponding assets must be pledged in accordance with the provisions of the treaty. Chu Zhaodong was asked to send a detachment to the Seto Inland Sea to exercise the right of innocent passage, and the Royal Air Force of Ryukyu and Ogasawara organized a cross-sea transfer exercise as much as possible, and the destination was to choose the air base in southern Samhan. ”

"Yes, Lord. I immediately set it up. Yang Shihai walked out of the conference room quickly, and began to deploy a transfer exercise across Japan, it is estimated that tomorrow night the little devils will have the honor to relive the scene of last year's bombing, although it is a false alarm in the end, but see if the little devils still have the courage to grin when there is an earthquake disaster in China.

"What's going on with Haiwon now?" Wu Chenxuan signaled to connect with the Haiyuan front-line headquarters, He Dazhuang had already set up a radio repeater, and although there was an obvious delay, he was able to maintain normal calls.

"According to the general report, the two companies of the vanguard of our department have been parachuted into Guò and marched on foot to Haiyuan County, and are currently carrying out rescue and disaster relief work. The earthquake has destroyed most of the buildings in Haiyuan County, and more than half of the county's population has lost their lives. There is almost no place to stay in the earthquake area, there is a shortage of food, drinking water, and medicine, many of the victims have external injuries, and there is a shortage of doctors. We will continue to organize the victims to carry out self-rescue and mutual rescue, and at this stage, we will mainly rescue the people who have been crushed and buried. ”

"General He, you and the cadres and soldiers have worked hard. Our national defense forces are the armed forces of the state and the people, and natural disasters, like foreign invasions, are enemies that threaten the safety of the lives and property of the people. Now is an extraordinary period, military management is implemented in the earthquake area, you are the highest military commander in the local area, and the local government is fully deployed and commanded by you. Please believe that the central government and the headquarters of the National Defense Forces will mobilize manpower and material resources to support the disaster area as soon as possible, and now that the first batch of doctors and relief supplies have been airlifted, you must do a good job of securing the temporary airport to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

"Yes, Boss, we promise to get the job done. Emergency rescue and disaster relief, I am a pioneer, continuous combat, and people will win the day. He Dazhuang's hoarse voice came, and several bigwigs who have always been calm couldn't help but be moved, this simple big man actually has such determination and perseverance, and he is not afraid in the face of natural disasters, which makes everyone admire.

"Okay, as soon as you have full command, our rear will try our best to provide support, please tell the commanders and fellow villagers that the empire will not let his people have no food and clothing, every citizen of the empire will lend a hand, natural disasters are not terrible, and the hearts of the people can move mountains and reclaim the sea." From now on, the people of the whole country will mobilize, one for the disaster area, and one for the victims! Wu Chenxuan put down the microphone and spoke in a deep voice.

"Elder Xu, Elder Xiong, the government and the parliament will ask the two to take the helm. Chief Duan, I would like to ask you to take full command of the affairs of the army, and no matter what, you must win this war against natural disasters. Wu Chenxuan's words made several people stunned, and then Boss Wu's words shocked them even more: "Let Director Su prepare the plane, and early tomorrow morning, I will take Zhou Zhongfu, Deng Xianxian, Zhang Jianyuan and Li Weichang to the disaster area." ”

It was actually a royal expedition, the three elders and General Staff Duan were all surprised, and the head of state personally went into battle to relieve the disaster, so that the brains of the sons who have always been the sons of daughters could not accept this signal.
