Chapter 109: What is True Glory?

"We can only bet that the deviation of the pipeline and the change in pressure caused by the explosion can cause a secondary leak at any time, and the sooner it is dealt with, the better; Of course, we can't let the risks go unpunished, and I have a very reluctant solution......"

Gu Ji paused for a moment when he said this.

"You can make a wall of water along the outer wall fence of the factory!"

"The wall of water!?"

Everyone asked in unison and exclaimed.

Gu Ji walked to a medical stretcher that was temporarily shelved, removed the white cloth on the stretcher, and dipped the hose in water.

Just when everyone thought he was going to put the white cloth over his body, he flattened the soaked white cloth with his hands.

Franz, the captain of the chemical defense team, immediately understood what he meant.

"Do you want to use a moist canvas as a wall of water to wrap the factory along the fence of the production site?"

"That's right."

Gu Ji nodded, "The wet canvas can effectively prevent the spread of chlorine, and do key protection downwind, supplemented by two transport planes to sprinkle water, to a certain extent, it can curb large-scale chlorine leakage." ”

This method is his method of dealing with the "Chernobyl" incident with reference to it.

In order to prevent secondary nuclear leakage, the government built a reinforced concrete sarcophagus directly on the No. 4 reactor and completely sealed it.

But unlike nuclear radioactive material, chlorine will only sink to the ground, so laying along the fence is the most time-saving and labor-saving method.

Even so.

Still not dispelling the worry on Otto's face, he opened the architectural drawings of the BASF factory and shook his head.

"The area of the production base is too large, and it will take a long time to cover all the surrounding areas with canvas and soak them with water, and with the remaining manpower now."

"What if civilian volunteers were mobilized to help?"

Gu Ji asked tentatively.

In many accidents and disasters in modern society, there are also situations where the government lacks energy and relies on volunteers to help.

Otto and several of the Inspectors General glanced at each other.

"The probability is very low, and at a time when people are panicking and fleeing due to poison gas, it is already difficult for the police and gendarmerie to maintain basic order."

"Always give it a try."

Gu Ji pursed his lips, "Prepare with both hands, Deputy Mayor Otto, first contact the nearest logistics cloth factory to transport a sufficient amount of canvas, mobilize government personnel at all levels of the city hall, and rush to the front line to help except for necessary posts." ”

"Broadcast the city-wide radio to announce the situation at the factory, first emphasize that we have brought the disaster under control, express the credibility of the government and the army, and then call volunteers to help."

"Alba, prepare your speech right away."

Otto commanded the secretary general behind him, and the commander of the defense garrison next to him was also trying to find a way to request reinforcements from the air base.

Gu Ji and the others were not idle.

While the government and the army were taking action, he continued to save people, and at the same time, he called in the anti-chemical warfare troops and fire brigades to finally extinguish the fire at the exploding synthetic rubber factory, and to ensure that after the factory restarted the production of electricity, there would be no secondary explosion.

Do it all.

Gu Ji once again took out the technical manual of the production base and studied the chemical safety handling equipment in detail.

"Lack of demagoguery, rewrite!"

Otto glanced at the manuscript sent by the Secretary-General again and threw it back.

Gu Ji raised his wrist.

By this time, more than an hour had passed since the plan was formulated, and the death toll had risen to 62, with the exception of some missing people who had not been found, and some of the wounded may have died on the way to the hospital, where chlorine poisoning was too severe to be rescued.

Outside the tent, the sun gradually rose overhead in a thin cloud of smoke.

When there's sunlight, it means warming.

The temperature will bring about a change in the gas pressure in the pipeline, which will undoubtedly increase the risk of leakage for the already fragile tank.

"Deputy Mayor Otto, you can't put it off any longer, it's really not okay, let me write it!"

"Can you write speeches?"

Otto was first surprised, and then he realized how a person who knew so well about chemical handling could be illiterate.

He was worried that he couldn't find any way to thank Gu Ji for his outstanding performance in this incident, and it just happened that this opportunity could allow him to show his face, which would also help him in his future military career.

"It's up to you to tell me, I'll have my men connect to the emergency radio now."

With the commissioning of logistics technicians.

The black radio station "Zizi" sounded twice, and the green light logo lit up, and the other party handed the microphone to Gu Ji, signaling that he could start talking.

"Ahem, Ludwigshafen people, I am Sergeant Hermann, one of the operational commanders of the BASF plant accident handling this time, and I am now in the tent of the temporary processing team at the front, and I am next to Deputy Mayor Otto."

"I am thankful that we worked together to stop the spread of the disaster in time, and that we were gathered in a time of hope and fear, in a time of bravery and sorrow; The more courage we build, the more our blood and tears will flow. ”

"So far, the government, the military, the workers, every one of them is fighting at the forefront of the danger, the firefighter has laryngitis, Lehr has pulmonary edema, they have all abandoned their own safety to protect our homes and people."

"But now, it's our turn to help, we still have two tanks of liquid chlorine in stock, we need to get rid of it safely, and we need to find some volunteers to help us build a canvas wall......"

Instantly.

The radio at the intersection, the home radio, and the loudspeakers in the shops all echoed over the city of Ludwigshafen.

When they heard the last sentence, Luca and the others couldn't help but subconsciously become nervous.

If the public is not interested in this, it will not only become a joke, but may also cause the accident to worsen.

But Gu Ji himself only took a breath and continued to speak:

"Some people will say why civilians should help? Why put us in danger? They may also ask, why do humans hunt? Why did Robert Koch isolate tuberculosis bacteria? Why did Chancellor Bismarck want to unify the Hans Empire? ”

"Because we choose to survive! We choose to live better! We chose to stay in Ludwigshafen, at the production site of the BASF plant, at this moment, to protect our homeland, not because of these words, but because the homeland itself deserves the best effort from all of us! ”

"All great and glorious actions are accompanied by great difficulties, this may be a unique opportunity in our lives, we want to be pioneers, we want to become devotees, we want to create our own glory highlights!!"

Ooh!

Accompanied by Gu Ji's accentuated tone one by one, until the last sentence, the extremely penetrating voice pushed the atmosphere to the climax.

Deputy Mayor Otto couldn't help but stand up from his seat, and the secretary general on the side subconsciously clenched his fists.

From expressing the government's efforts, to depicting the background of the current crisis, and finally to illustrating the case through historical heroes.

Both coherence and demagoguery are impeccable.

Luca even had a feeling in his heart that he wanted to fight for Gu Ji, this is a real commander!

Gu Ji put down the microphone and pretended to be calm and walked out from behind the desk.

In fact, as a police academy student, his language skills cannot be said to be bad, but he also cannot reach the point of exporting chapters, and the reason why he can quickly come up with this speech is because it was written by someone else: in 1962, Kennedy landed on the moon speech.

When he was learning English with his ex-girlfriend before, he memorized this speech.

It's really exciting.

So Gu Ji played a hand of "take-it-ism" and borrowed it.

Get out of the tent.

Almost every anti-chemical warfare soldier and policeman looked at Gu Ji with respectful and excited eyes, which made him feel a little embarrassed in his heart.

Only Eugen looked at Gu Ji with a complicated eye.

Seeing this, the Inspector General of Labor leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear.

Gu Ji turned to look at the dead town, all the residents near the BASF factory had already left, and he didn't know how many people his speech would attract.

Five minutes passed.

The streets were deserted.

Ten minutes later, a military vehicle finally appeared on the street, and the door opened, revealing a bandaged Lehr.

Gu Ji was a little surprised.

"Man, why are you here, your injuries are already healed?"

"Hey, since you've all mentioned my name on the radio, wouldn't it look like you're lying if I'm not there? Ahem......"

It can be seen that after medical treatment, Lehr's condition has recovered well.

This mission was thanks to Lehr risking his life to close the valve.

Seeing that he was fine, Gu Jida felt happy in his heart, so he reached out and hugged him.

"I've heard it all, welcome back!"

"Hey, hey, maybe, it's not just me......"

As soon as Lehr's words fell, there was a low "humming" sound in the sky and on the ground almost simultaneously.

The next moment, with two medium-sized transport planes flying towards the airport from the sky, a large number of figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the street, which was originally dead and silent.

Unkempt clothes, strange but familiar faces, they ran on the gravel and wastewater, high spirits, obviously no steel helmets, no military uniforms, but there is a kind of military momentum that ignores the danger and forgets to die.

"Where do you need help?"

"Damn, I don't want to leave here, after all, my home is here, let's do it!"

"I can't believe I'm going to come back, at least I can show off to my son in the future, his father was involved in saving the city!"

……

The crowd gathered in front of the headquarters.

Everyone didn't expect so many civilian volunteers to come, and it was a little difficult to maintain order for a while.

Gu Ji happened to grab Leer and Luca.

"Where's Eugen? Forget it, Sir Luca, Sergeant Lehr, you will be in charge of these volunteers and arrange for them to start laying wet canvases! ”

"Don't worry, we'll leave it to you!"

Lukka patted him on the shoulder, and Lehr hammered his chest, but he couldn't help coughing twice.

Next, under the command of the two, hundreds of volunteers began to pick up canvases and tie them to the fence of BASF's production site.

Gu Ji and Franz led people into the chlorine factory.

Although the first chlorine leak had long since been resolved, there was a strong, pungent smell in the basement storage room.

According to the production manual, Gu Ji decided to divide the tank into separate tanks.

First, turn on the production electricity of the factory, use the exhaust pipe, discharge the indoor gas and storage tank gas into the decontamination tower, once the decontamination tower fails, the combustion tower will be started immediately, and the combustion treatment will be supported by non-metallic substances.

"May everything be fine......"

Seeing that the power system was restored, Gu Ji pushed up the equipment pole, and the sound of humming exhaust sounded, and the equipment began to run.

Perhaps some of Goering is not lying, BASF, as the world's top chemical company, has indeed advanced safety equipment.

Throughout the afternoon, the decontamination tower was treated perfectly.

By the evening, two tanks of 90 tons of liquefied chlorine had been disposed of, and the crisis at the plant had been completely resolved.

In the cheers of the military police, firefighters, and volunteer civilians.

The system text appeared in front of him.

[The ultimate goal: to solve the accident disaster at BASF's factory and control the number of accident fatalities to 62 people!] 】

[Secondary goal: to complete the follow-up risk of the accident!] 】

[Open the Hidden Target: Find the Truth About the Accident Breakout!] 】

The truth......

Gu Ji narrowed his eyes and took two steps back, looking at the large-scale factory in the distance, and then at the rubble and pipes that had been blown into ruins nearby.

Often, the vast majority of production accidents in history are caused by personnel negligence.

On the face of it, the accident appears to have started with a butadiene explosion at a synthetic rubber plant, which caused a leak of liquefied chlorine at the chlorine plant, which was caused by a large amount of gas being ejected due to the lack of safety officers.

The deep-seated cause depends on the detailed accident investigation report.

In particular, the transcript of Goering's interrogation.

"The explosion point of the synthetic rubber plant was found, it was an explosion in the factory tank, which contained 16.5 tons of butadiene and butylene mixture, the ratio was 80:20, and the cause of the explosion should be human negligence, and the pressure in the tank exceeded the limit of the container due to sunlight."

At eight o'clock in the evening, Franz handed over a record document.

Gu Ji took over, looked at the data on the document in detail, and basically had the answer in his heart, and now he was about to find Goering to confirm it, "Thank you!" ”

"Politely, to be honest, your chemistry specialty is very good, are you interested in transferring from the army to the anti-chemical warfare unit, here, your prospects may be better!"

Franz also developed a love for talent.

Not to mention anything else, just because Gu Ji can think of the idea of "sprinkling water in the air to kill chlorine urgently", it is enough to lead a large number of brainless chemists.

"Let me think again, Captain."

Gu Ji casually excused himself, and then walked out of the production base with the documents.

At the door, the three Lucas were busy arranging a temporary residence for civilians tonight, and when they saw Gu Ji running by, they asked, "Herman, what are you doing in such a hurry?" ”

"I'm going to go to the police station to find Goering to confirm the cause of the accident and the damage, and then report it to the command headquarters."

"Wait, I'll go too, just to teach Goering a lesson, and almost let me confess here!"

Lehr gritted his teeth, a fire weighing down in his heart.

Luca was afraid that the two of them would make a move, so he decided to go along, "Eugen, are you coming?" ”

"I, I'm not going, I'm waiting for you here."

Eugen glanced at Gu Ji, lowered his head and said.

Gu raised his eyebrows, and always felt that something was wrong with this kid, but now that the task was about to be completed, he couldn't take care of it.

The trio drove to the police station in a military vehicle.

Because of the military dispatch in their hands and the command of Deputy Mayor Otto, and the speech at noon, the police were very willing to help, but what they didn't expect was that Goering was not in the police station.

"No, I heard the Inspector General of Labor say that he was going to put Goering in the police station......"

"I found the chief, and Goering is now being arranged by his superiors at the BΓΆrmand Hotel."

Faced with Gu Ji's questioning, the police quickly checked the address.

Lehr said with a displeased expression.

"Man, the labor inspector you're talking about isn't going to be in league with Goering, is he?"

"Let's go!"

Gu Ji's face was gloomy, and he decisively started the vehicle.

During the Second World War, the Labour Inspectorate was in charge of production and labor security, and belonged to Goering's immediate "superiors".

At that time, he also realized that when he pressed Goering, the guy instinctively hid behind the Inspector General of Labour.

But the other party's courage is inevitably too great, and he dares to shield the main person in charge of such a major accident!

Since the accident has just been dealt with.

At this time, there were no cars on the street, and as the most luxurious hotel in Ludwigshafen, Gu saw the splendid European-style buildings two streets away.

Lehr suddenly raised his hand and pointed ahead.

"Man, isn't that Goering guy sitting in that car?"

"That's him!"

Gu Ji kicked the accelerator to accelerate, and the engine roared, and then turned around and chased after the black Volkswagen sedan in which Goering was riding.

Lehr is even more ruthless.

He immediately pulled out the officer's pistol from his waist, pulled the bolt, and fired two shots at the car.

Perhaps Goering and the driver were scared, and the car braked on the side of the road.

The three of them gathered in front of the car menacingly, patting the glass.

"Get off! I'll get you off right away! ”

"Don't shoot!"

Goering wiped the sweat from his forehead and came out with both hands, but was pressed against the car door by Gu Jiyi.

"Why run?"

"I'm going to see a very important person, the Captain of the Third Leader of the Ordinary SS Rhine Brigade!"

"I don't care what kind of captain you are, as the main person in charge of the accident, you don't stay honestly in the police station, but you enjoy it in a luxury hotel, and you are worthy of those sacrificed employees and soldiers!!"

When Lehr heard this, he was so angry that he put the muzzle of his gun directly on Goering's head.

"You, don't shoot! The SS will be coming soon, beware of me accusing you of abuse! ”

"Lehr, put the gun down."

Lukka scolded, sensing that something was wrong.

As an Waffen-SS, he was very familiar with the functions of the ordinary SS, if the former was used to charge into battle, then the latter was used against his own people, commonly known as spies.

Gu Ji's face was gloomy.

"I'll just ask one thing, the two causes of the accident were due to the overload of the storage tank, you once said that it is the off-season for production and sales at BASF's factory, why do you have to schedule so many chemicals?"

"Can't you sell it?"

Just as Goering was rebutting, several military vehicles and personnel carriers suddenly surrounded from the right rear, in the direction of the accident site.

The doors open.

Several officers and leaders walked down, and one of the leaders was tall and thin, wearing a gray-green suit and military uniform, with red labels on his sleeves, and his facial features looked a little cloudy.

He held an officer's handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose, and walked indifferently in front of several people.

As if he had seen a savior, Goering cried out desperately:

"Captain Redland, save me!"

"Which of you is Herman?"

The officer only glanced at Goering, then continued to sweep over, staring at Gu and the three like hyenas.

"I am."

Gu Ji's eyelids were half shrugged, and from the few people behind the officer, he saw the labor inspector.

The officer put down his handkerchief, gently stroked the cross on his collar, and shook his head.

"It's a pity, I'm the leader of the 3rd SS Rhine Brigade, Redland, and I have received a tip that there is an officer named Herman who does not obey the will and orders of the Reich and promotes evil ideas in public!"

"I'm Luca, the commander of the 1st Guard Flag tank, is there any misunderstanding here?"

Luca's face changed, and he hurriedly blocked in front of Gu Ji and Redland.

The name of the 1st Guard Flag is still very loud.

Redland immediately straightened his back and gave Luca a respectful look, but quickly beckoned, "Ensign Luca, I advise you not to meddle in your business. ”

As he spoke, another soldier jumped out of the car.

It turned out to be Eugen!

The Inspector General of Labor patted Eugen on the shoulder, and said in a tone of victory: "Eugen, say what you saw again!" ”

"I, I ......"

Eugen was a little afraid to look up at Gu Ji, but in the face of the persecution of the SS, he still straightened his back and shouted:

"Sergeant Hermann has openly spoken some evil things, and in the process of rescuing from the accident, he has confused the great Hans people with those untouchables!"

"I'll fuck you Eugen! Lao Tzu took you for a year, trained you as his own brother, and taught you to be a traitor? ”

Leer immediately scolded and was about to rush forward.

But when Redland looked at him, the two SS soldiers raised their guns and aimed them at his head.

Eugen seemed to be back in the state of the battlefield at this moment, and a flash of madness flashed in his eyes, "Sergeant Lehr, you used to be kind to me, but now, you have been brainwashed by Sergeant Herman's evil words. ”

"A first-class private, but a few years older than me, has so much knowledge and skills, I think he is simply an undercover agent sent by the bear country, in order to disintegrate us from the inside, fortunately I woke up in time!"

"Looks like you're in the same league as Herman?"

Redland raised his eyebrows and waved his hand, "Escort the two down!" ”

Seeing Goering return to the car with a smug face, the faith in Lehr's heart seemed to have completely collapsed at this moment, and he couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly:

"Hehehe...... Lao Tzu began to enlist in the army in 36 years, dedicated 7 years to the empire, defeated 6 enemy tanks on the Western Front, but he couldn't withstand a treacherous businessman who harmed the interests of the people of the country, fuck you, Lao Tzu will pull you as a cushion when he dies! ”

"Lehr!"

"Lehr!!"

Gu Ji and Luca exclaimed at the same time and wanted to stop it, but after all, it was still a step too late, and at the moment when Lehr raised his pistol, several SS soldiers pulled the trigger at the same time.

Bang bang bangβ€”β€”!

Blood, floating in the air without gunsmoke.

Lehr did not die on the battlefield.

but died;

In the hands of their own people.
