On the fourth day of Chen Bin's appointment in Xuandong, news suddenly came from Hengsha Island: Jianghai Wharf collapsed!

This wharf is the third wharf of Hengsha Island after Hengsha Wharf and Xinlian Wharf, its structure is sheet pile type, which is composed of sheet piles continuously driven into a certain depth of the foundation to form a continuous wall, and is composed of tie rods, cap beams, guide beams and anchor ingots, etc., relying on the lateral soil resistance of the slab column into the soil and the supporting effect of the anchor ingot structure installed on its upper part to maintain stability.

The advantages of sheet pile wharf are simple structure, low material consumption, small on-site construction workload, convenient and rapid construction, and short construction period. When the government led the army and the survivors to Chongming Island, they decided to attack Hengsha Island after taking Dongtan, and in order to make the strategy plan smooth, they chose the fastest way to build the Jianghai Wharf.

The durability of sheet pile wharves is not as good as that of gravity wharves, the service life is shorter, and the steel sheet piles are susceptible to seawater corrosion, not to mention, the reinforced concrete sheet piles may also crack. It cannot withstand large horizontal loads when in use, so it also lays a hidden danger for today's accidents.

The government is not unaware of this, but no one expected the accident to appear so quickly, the experts of the wharf construction party had estimated its normal service life, and also made a plan for detection and repair, but two island raider plans accelerated the speed of wharf damage, the first time was to raid Hengsha Island, this time it was to raid Changxing Island.

The collapse of Jianghai Wharf has a direct impact on the progress of the strategy of Changxing, and the speed of the transfer of logistics materials has been slowed down a lot. In terms of people's livelihood, there was a vacuum period in shipping between Hengsha Island and Chongming Island, and many materials needed to be transshipped through Changxing Island, but the channel for transshipment of materials was almost occupied by the next military operation.

Students from several schools on Hengsha Island have been relocated to live in schools, much to the relief of many parents on the other two islands. The accident occurred at noon, and there were no student casualties on the pier because the rush hour for school and school was staggered.

Although there were no casualties among the students, the convoy carrying supplies for the military did suffer considerable losses, and many vehicles and drivers fell into the sea along with the collapsed dock, and many of the bodies were not found.

When the news reached Dongtan and Xuandong, Chen Bin and others were taken aback, because the names of Deng Wuqi and Deng Zeng's uncle and nephew appeared on the list of missing persons in the accident.

"Uncle Seven and Deng Zeng have both fallen into the sea!" Chen Bin made a special phone call to the Dongtan Armed Forces Department to inquire about the details of the accident, and he got the exact news from Xu Yueming.

"What's going on?" Everyone gathered around Chen Bin, all in disbelief.

"Are this seventh uncle and Deng Zeng people you know?" He Zefeng asked.

"Yes, when their uncle and nephew met us outside, they also saved my life," Chen Bin nodded, looking a little regretful, "After coming to Chongming, they were divided into the transport team, who would have thought that there would be an accident on the Jianghai Wharf this time." ”

"Why did both of them fall into the sea?" Qiao Xingyu also had a stunned look, just half a month ago, Wei Qiming had just died in the United States, and now two more brothers suddenly left.

"I heard that the person who was rescued on the dock said that Deng Zeng's car sank, and Uncle Seven jumped down to save him, but he couldn't get up." Chen Bin sighed as he spoke, thinking of the indescribable sadness in his expression when everyone met in the warehouse in the park, and later experienced the changes in the Hua family's old mansion together.

"Uncle Seventh doesn't have a son himself, he takes Deng Zeng very seriously, he was reluctant to join Deng Zeng in the army with us in Dongtan, but it's a pity, if he joins the army, maybe he won't die at the dock." The monkey was also a little sad, he thought of Wei Qiming because of the death of Deng Wuqi's uncle and nephew.

The only people in their group who drove the little black car were now himself and Yang Ju, and those faces that were once alive appeared and disappeared like this, and even many of them have been forgotten.

"Lao Cao's store here is estimated to be closed for a period of time, the wharf collapsed, and the seafood in the field has to be transferred over Changxing, not to mention the road, the logistics cost is also high, and now the transportation channel is fully supporting the military's Changxing strategy plan, and the civilian use space is compressed very small."

"Brother Jiu will also have a headache over there for a while," Qiao Xingyu's head turned quickly, and he suddenly thought of the people and things that would be implicated from the accident of the collapse of the dock.

"As soon as prices rise, people's lives will inevitably be affected, and the security situation here will become severe," Chen Ting also added the possibility that she thought of, "What should I do with the little girl and Zixuan when they study?" When school was out in the afternoon, did Brother Wen Yue go to Changxing to pick them up? ”

"I called Brother Wen Yue, and he said that the students will be arranged to live in the school from today, otherwise if the parents go to the direction of Changxing Island to pick up, the shipping channel will not be able to support." Chen Bin told everyone what he learned from Cai Wenyue, and the others were relieved.

"Hey, these natural and man-made disasters," Da Fei also sighed, very depressed in his heart. Cao Shengli opened their store, Chen Bin had just taken office in Xuandong, and everyone was about to show their strength in this new land, when some accidents followed.

"Don't be discouraged," Chen Bin saw that everyone's mood was not high, so he had to be relieved, "When the government settled in Dongtan, it was much more difficult than now when it attacked Hengsha, and now the weather in Hengsha is thriving, I believe that the leaders will not be stumped by the current predicament, because the people's government has always been invincible." ”

"Do your job well, it's useless to think too much, it will only increase the psychological burden," Da Fei also nodded, trying to adjust his emotions.

Hengsha Island responded quickly, and various emergency measures were prepared in place as soon as the accident occurred. Shen Yong, director of the Disaster Relief Headquarters, took the lead in setting up an accident emergency response team, and he encountered this incident just a few days after sending the "Shenyang" out of Hong Kong, so he immediately rushed from the front line of Changxing Island to Hengsha to take command.

The work arrangements on the front line have been almost implemented, and now that there is an accident on the rear transportation line, Shen Yong has resolutely made the decision to "first secure the inside before rushing outside" and personally visited the front line of the accident to ensure that water and land transportation can be restored to a smooth level as soon as possible, and also to prevent people from taking advantage of the fire to loot and loot military supplies on the dock.

All operations have been stopped on the Jianghai wharf, and there are no more transport boats in the water area, and some patrol boats appear on the water, which are rescue boats dispatched by the sea security forces off the coast of Chongming District to search and rescue people who have fallen into the water.

In addition to the medical personnel on Hengsha Island, Changxing and Chongming have also dispatched some medical workers to check and treat the people who have fallen into the water. A number of temporary medical tents have been erected in the land area, and after some of the lucky people who fell into the water were rescued, those in serious condition were immediately treated on the spot and then sent to the rear hospital for follow-up treatment.

The pile foundation of the pier has collapsed a lot, and the trestle has also broken and submerged into the water because of the collapse of the pile foundation, and a three-storey office building next to the trestle is tilted into the water, leaving only the flat roof above exposed outside the water.

There are still a lot of supplies in the inner part of the dock, and some vehicles nearby are helping to transfer them, and the people here come and go, and the army green and white clothes shuttle between them, giving the whole dock a different kind of busy scene.

On Fumin Sand Road, many people gathered near the pier to watch the situation inside, and they were blocked by a cordon formed by soldiers. Before, a few people had the intention of taking the lead in rushing in to loot supplies, but after seeing those soldiers with loaded guns, these people chose to be law-abiding citizens.

After the news was spread by the onlookers, the situation was really similar to what Chen Bin and others had expected, not to mention that prices had risen, and there were even some rumors among the people. Some say that someone on Hengsha Island rebelled and staged a coup d'état, while others say that a ship or vehicle carrying weapons and ammunition to the army at Jianghai Wharf exploded and blew up the wharf.

In response to this situation, Chen Bin immediately paid attention to it, and he took his companions outside, got into a car and began to patrol and pacify the area in Xuandong.

There were signs of violence in several stores, but fortunately, the security brigade arrived in time, and Chen Bin arrested several guys who stormed the store and tried to make a small fortune when the rumors spread.

The panic among the people was finally reduced a lot under Chen Bin's appeasement, and after the security brigade was dispatched in time, the first wave of people who tried to cause chaos were arrested on the spot, and other people with bad intentions did not dare to follow suit. The herd mentality was strangled in the cradle after these leaders tasted the bitterness, and Chen Bin quickly stabilized the situation in Xuandong.

The few people who were caught in the car were all Chinese, Chen Bin was not familiar with their situation, and he didn't know if these people had a criminal record in Gu Annan's hands, but he was angry when he saw these people, because these guys were arrested just now when they were robbing things in the shop of Chinese businessmen.

"Why are you arresting me, we are Chinese," a man with his hands cuffed behind the carriage cried out loudly, "I buy things in their store, and those profiteers have raised the price by nearly half for no reason, why don't you arrest him?" ”

"You can't buy it if he raises the price, can the price increase be a reason for you to rob their store?" Da Fei shouted at him.

"Are they allowed to go up as they want?" Some of those arrested were not convinced.

"The market price is regulated by the government, and I repeat it again, price increases are not a reason for you to rob them." Da Fei stared at these people, his eyes were about to burst into flames, and he thought that in the past, some people smashed the shops and cars of their compatriots in the name of patriotism, and now these people are just as hateful. Both of these people are selfish people, and the only difference is that the former is more hypocritical.

"The government, hehe, is most active when it collects taxes, and it has no voice when it does things. You might as well leave Captain Gu, at least he knows how to take care of his compatriots when he is here, and you will only show off your power to your own people. ”

Chen Bin turned around and slapped the guy who spoke just now in the face, making him look stunned for an instant.

"Have you paid your taxes? Besides, you remember for me, I don't have a compatriot like you. ”
