The deputy secretary-general was still a little apprehensive at the moment, and it was the first time he had been so bold in rushing to the meeting room of the Standing Committee. When the time comes, will you be rebuked?

However, the deputy secretary general couldn't think about these things so much, and continued: "Just now, the General Office of the Government Council called, and the Government Affairs Yuan, Leng Yunfei, and Premier Leng have already taken a special plane to Sishu. ”

Hearing this, neither the Sishu Provincial Party Committee nor the Standing Committee of the Cadres were too surprised. Su Tuan nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Well, I know." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the other Standing Committee members and said: "Comrades, without further ado, according to the plan formulated in advance, everyone will immediately go to various prefectures and cities and disaster-stricken areas. ”

Nie Zhenbang also added next to him: "Comrades, I believe everyone understands Mr. Leng's character, and Mr. Leng's style is very pragmatic. The fact that the central authorities reacted so quickly this time is enough to prove this. I won't say anything more. I'm sure you all know. After going down, it is necessary to report the situation in the affected area in the shortest possible time, whether there are any casualties -- how many houses have collapsed, and how many people have been buried. In addition, the shortages of drinking water, food, tents, and medicines must be reported with general data. ”

When Su Tuan heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, Nie Zhenbang's consideration was very thorough, Mr. Leng would definitely ask about the situation in the disaster area. When the time comes, if the provincial party committee of Sishu Province does not know about it, it will be a dereliction of duty.

Then he also spoke: "Comrades, at this time, in the face of catastrophes, we must unite as one, work together, and do a good job in earthquake relief. ”

It's past four o'clock in the afternoon.

In fact, less than two hours after Nie Zhenbang returned to Sishu Province, Mr. Leng Zong's special plane landed at Tianfu Zaiji Airport.

That is to say, aside from this, the time between Mr. Leng going to the airport and boarding the plane to the take-off and landing of the plane, after the earthquake, the country responded quickly in less than two hours.

In the apron of the airport, it seems very tense, and on all sides, the police and security personnel of the airport police station serve as security personnel.

At this time, General Manager Leng and his entourage could be regarded as a light and simple trip, and the people accompanying him were also old acquaintances, and Nie Zhenbang's father, Vice Premier Nie Guowei, was a lieutenant general of the Central Military Commission. The other personnel are Mr. Leng's security personnel.

―Get off the plane. There are no greetings and smiles from the past. As soon as he greeted him, Mr. Leng said, "How is the situation in the disaster area?" ”

Su Tuan had nothing to hide at the moment, and opened his mouth to report: "Prime Minister, in the province, other Standing Committee members have been sent down, in the surrounding cities of Yizhou City. The latest damage has not yet been reported, and now, communications throughout Sishu have been cut off. The situation on the highways in the province has not been reported for the time being, and there are several landslides on national highways due to the earthquake. In addition, the transportation and communications of Yizhou City, the hardest-hit area this time, have been completely cut off.

I have already coordinated with the Tianfu Military Region side, and the troops stationed in Changhong City will send a small detachment to Yizhou City to pass on the information of the first hand as soon as possible. ”

Listening to Su Yuan's report, Mr. Leng looked very solemn, nodded and said, "Comrade Su Yuan, Comrade Zhenbang, go to the provincial party committee first." ”

―Pedestrian, boarding a commercial vehicle parked on the tarmac. At the front, the police car sounded its siren and roared out of Tianfu International Airport.

―On the road, go unimpeded and directly enter the compound of the Sishu Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government. Mr. Leng did not take a break and went directly into the conference room.

― Entering the door, Mr. Leng said: "Comrade Su Yuan, take the traffic map of Zhang Sishu Province here." ”

Soon, the traffic map was already on the table, and Mr. Leng set his eyes above Yizhou City, and the pen in his hand drew a circle in Yizhou, and he looked up at the crowd: "Before I came, on the plane, I had already communicated with Vice Premier Nie. According to earthquake experts and traffic experts, after studying the geological conditions of Yizhou City, the opinions given are not optimistic, and it is certain that the Tianhao National Highway must be blocked. In this way, the road in and out of Yizhou is only the old national highway. And the old national highway, there will definitely be landslides and collapses in many places. At present, it can be said that Yizhou has become an isolated city. ”

The voice fell, and next to him, Vice Premier Nie also spoke: "Comrades, I also know the situation in Yizhou City, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and now the traffic is jammed, communication is interrupted, and the disaster relief situation in Yizhou City. Not only do the urban areas need to have the party and the government to carry out disaster relief work, but all counties and districts in Yizhou City, including all townships and towns, have also carried out rescue work safely. At this time, the people of Yizhou City must be isolated and helpless. It is necessary to try as soon as possible to get through the connection with Yizhou. Obtain the first hand of the disaster information. ”

Nie Guowei's words are also sonorous and powerful. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and Su Tuan raised his head and said, "Please come in." ”

Outside the door, a staff member of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee reported: "Chiefs, Secretary Su, the disaster situation in some cities has been reported, and according to the news from Changhong City, the two national highways leading to Yizhou City have been blocked. ”

Hearing this, Nie Zhenbang immediately stepped forward, took the information in the hands of the staff, and handed it to Mr. Leng.

According to the latest news, as predicted by experts, traffic in Yizhou City has been completely blocked.

At this time, Mr. Leng immediately looked solemn, the traffic was blocked, what was the situation in Yizhou City, and the time of the earthquake happened to be at work, how the leading members of the Yizhou Municipal Party Committee team were, and whether they were out of danger. If Yizhou City does not have a strong leadership group at this moment, it is conceivable that at this time, Yizhou City will be completely chaotic.

After a deep groan, Mr. Leng slowly spoke: "Time is life. Comrades, Yizhou City is the land under the rule of our Chinese Republic, and at this moment, the three million people in Yizhou need us and need our support and help. Now, at this time, there must be a team of people and horses to advance into Yizhou immediately, no matter what method I use, whether it is walking, flying, swimming, even if you are climbing, you must climb into Yizhou for me. ”

When the words fell, Nie Guowei said next to him: "Prime Minister, I'm afraid the helicopter can't do it, the danger is too great, Yizhou City is surrounded by mountains, and all around it are thousands of meters high. High altitude, thin air, the slightest carelessness, the plane crashes and people die. And if you pass through the mountain peaks, now, with the constant aftershocks and the hedge of the air current, it is simply not suitable to use a helicopter. At present, the only way to do this is to send an army over the mountains on foot and enter Yizhou City. ”

Nie Guowei's words fell, but next to him, Nie Zhenbang stood up, at this moment, Nie Zhenbang's face was serious, he looked at Mr. Leng and the others, and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, leaders, Secretary Su, I'll take the team in." ”

"You? No way? You -- a dignified governor, at this time, the province's earthquake relief work, you still need to preside, you go to Yizhou, what should other places do? Without thinking about it, there was no room for consideration, and Mr. Leng immediately stopped Nie Zhenbang's thoughts.

It was Nie Guowei, looking at his son, his expression was a little complicated, and he was a little emotional, at this time, entering the epicenter, the meaning contained in this, Nie Guowei was very clear, just like this - for a period of time, there were four aftershocks just felt. This is still in Tianfu, more than 100 kilometers away from Yizhou. If it were in Yizhou, I am afraid that there would be more aftershocks. If you go in at this time, your life will be in danger at any time. If you are not careful, you will talk about leaving your life there.

Nie Guowei was silent, his eyes were very firm, and he said in a deep voice: "Nie Zhenbang, tell me your reasons." ”

The voice fell, and next to him, Mr. Leng was a little surprised, and said, "Old Nie! ”

Nie Guowei waved his hand and said: "Prime Minister, Nie Zhenbang is private, it is my Nie Guowei's son, Yu Gong, he is a member of the Communist Party, he is the governor of Sishu Province, I want to hear his opinion." ”

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang had a very serious expression on his face, looked at Mr. Leng and his father, and said, "Prime Minister, Vice Premier Nie, at this time, I think it is most appropriate for me to go." My reasons are threefold. ”

"First, I am the governor of Sishu Province, and Yizhou City is a prefecture-level city, and at this moment, there must be a strong leader in the province, so that it can shake all sides. Second, I am familiar with Sishu Province and Yizhou City, and I have also been there -- if I rely solely on the army, they are not familiar with the local situation, and they are not personnel of the government system, so they cannot carry out rescue work in a timely manner and as soon as possible. Third, I have had military training experience in the Northwest Military Region, and I have no problem with my personal military quality and ability, and I ask the organization to approve me to lead a team into Yizhou City. ”

Listening to Nie Zhenbang's words, there was silence in the conference room. At this moment, Mr. Leng and Vice President Nie did not speak, and no one dared to make this decision.

Mr. Leng looked at Nie Guowei and groaned, but Nie Guowei nodded and said, "Prime Minister, I agree with Comrade Nie Zhenbang's opinion. ”

Speaking of this, Nie Guowei looked directly at Mr. Leng and said: "In the face of catastrophes, what is it compared to the interests of the country, personal safety and gains and losses?" This is what Nie Zhenbang's grandfather taught us. In my opinion, Nie Zhenbang is the most suitable person, and I agree. ”
