Chapter 163: Summoned from the Top
Professor Nande'o's words reminded Gu Ji, and the accompanying secretary beside the chief minister also disappeared.
In other words, the chief, the minister of water resources, and the accompanying secretary disappeared together, and there was a fierce dispute before the disappearance.
This has to make people wonder if there is something special hidden in it.
But whether it was a political struggle or a murder, these had nothing to do with Gu Ji, and seeing that the water level was rising due to the heavy rain, he had to urge everyone to leave the building as soon as possible.
When the last rescuer jumped into the rubber boat, Gu Ji raised the megaphone and gave the order to evacuate not long after.
Suddenly, there was a "click" sound on the right side of the Geological Monitoring Bureau building.
The reconnaissance team and the emergency rescue team reacted almost at the same time, and seven or eight strong flashlights flashed, flashing a cold light in the dark night rainstorm.
"It's that football goal!!"
"Quick! Get out of here! β
"Don't mess around, everyone! Maintain a double column formation and drive in an S shape to avoid it!! β
I don't know who shouted first, but a few rubber boat drivers and government workers who had just been rescued panicked, after all, football goals are no more than branches and trunks, they are serious metal!
At the critical moment, Gu Ji woke everyone up with a megaphone.
The S-shaped formation is used for emergency obstacle avoidance in actual driving, which can effectively improve the obstacle avoidance ability of the rescue formation.
Suddenly, all the members of the 14 detachments slammed the throttle, and under the roar, 27 rubber boats cut the flood diagonally, shook their tails and swung up, rolling up layers of waves, like an orange dragon.
Disturbed by the waves, the football goal that had been smashed by the brain began to shake from side to side.
Gu Ji seized the opportunity, "6 groups back, U-shaped avoidance!" β
"U-shaped avoidance!"
"U-shaped avoidance!!"
Everyone shouted with all their strength, and the roar overshadowed the torrential rain, and for a moment, from the back third, the rubber boat team immediately turned around on the spot, and suddenly cut off from the long line in front of it, drawing a perfect "U" shape in the flood.
In the next second, the soccer goal slid past the break, boomed, and hit a telephone pole in the distance.
Seeing that he was out of danger, in the slight cheering and commotion of the whole team, he slowed down in front and increased the throttle in the rear, and Changlong quickly regrouped.
In the following time.
Gu Jidu led the 14 detachments to search for the trapped and missing victims in the waters, thanks to his ability to command the boat formation on the water, as well as several action mechanisms he set, especially the reserve emergency rescue team, the entire early morning, the 14 detachment did not have a single accident, and even rescued other detachments several times along the way.
The search and rescue operation continued until dawn, when Pradhan ordered it to stop.
Under the continuous round-trip operation, every rescuer was exhausted, but when he saw the relieved and grateful expressions of the people on board, he suddenly felt that it was all worth it.
After returning to the base, Gu Ji and Fatima happened to bump into Pradan, who was also returning.
The whole team was covered in mud, and one rescuer was carried back on a stretcher and appeared to be seriously injured.
Seeing the two of them, Pradhan took the initiative to come over.
"How's it going, is there any news from the state minister?"
"Nope."
"What about the trapped victims, how many people have you found?"
β119οΌ It's 119! β
This time, without waiting for Gu Ji to speak, Singh and other rescuers behind him suddenly rushed up and rushed to answer, when they said this number, everyone's faces were filled with uncontrollable excitement and excitement, so that Gu Ji was slightly stunned, and had to reply in everyone's tone: "Report to the commander-in-chief of the formation, 14 detachments found and transferred a total of 119 trapped victims in the search and rescue operation!" β
"My God, 4 hours, 119?"
"1.46 rescues per capita, which is a very high level of efficiency......
"Detachment 14 is so powerful? Didn't they say that their captain was seconded by the Director-General from the state government on a temporary basis? β
"You patronized the transfer, but you didn't see the ability of their captain, I heard that he is particularly good at formation command, and our captain has learned the boat formation technology of 14 detachments!"
Other rescuers cast envious glances.
You know, looking at the establishment of the Indian National Disaster Response Force, the average rescue per capita in four hours is a very strong number, after all, when the team operated, four hours had passed since the flood broke out, and it was a rare flood in 50 years.
Pradan was slightly stunned, licked his chapped lips, stretched out his hands to hold Gu Ji's arms, and smiled.
"I really didn't misread you, fortunately there are 14 of your detachments, otherwise just relying on the dozen or so people we saved, the National Crisis Management Committee and the Ministry of the Interior would definitely blame us, and the public opinion media would also spray us to death!"
"The difficulty of finding people in secondary disasters has increased exponentially."
As a person who has personally experienced underwater search and rescue, of course he knows how difficult it is to rescue people from mudslides and landslides, "but the most important thing at the moment is how long the tropical depression landfall will last, which is related to the subsequent disaster relief policy in Assam and the emergency preparedness of other neighboring countries!" β
With the dazzling number of "119", Gu Ji is now becoming more and more prestigious, and his proposal is naturally valued by Pradan.
He personally introduced Gu Ji to the expert command group.
Here sat a top disaster management expert from the central government of India, and Gu Ji took the opportunity to explain the tropical depression weather forecast in the reward in a reasonable way.
Of course.
He also knew that these old fellows couldn't make a conclusion based on his dictated arguments alone, so he added, "So, my suggestion is to have the Crisis Management Committee contact the naval base and have the military share the marine weather predictions in the Bay of Bengal so that they can know if my predictions are correct." β
"We also need to escalate this to the Crisis Management Committee."
Several experts and professors frowned, neither affirming nor refuting.
Gu Ji did not continue to insist on it.
Even if the Navy disagrees, the meteorological center's technicians will sooner or later find out that the first signs of a tropical storm are taking place, and then it will only be a few days late.
All he is doing now is hoping to buy more time for the central cabinet government and the Indian people to prepare before the real catastrophe strikes.
Maybe this is a national disaster......
On the premise of not having a high-level status, the power of personal pry is very limited, if it weren't for Gu Ji's continuous efforts to perform during this time, let alone give advice to these experts, he wouldn't even be able to enter the door!
Get out of the tent.
Gu Ji looked up at the torrential rain in the sky, and the high-intensity emergency command and handling for a day and night finally hit his heart.
Now he is dizzy in his head, and his body can't lift any strength, so he just wants to fall asleep.
Turning his head, he just wanted to say goodbye to Fatima, but he didn't expect to meet the other party's gaze.
Fatima stared at him with adoring eyes for a long time.
Gu Ji was a little hairy when he saw it, and looked left and right.
"What's the matter, do I have something on me?"
"Nothing."
Fatima suddenly brushed the ends of her rain-soaked hair, turned to leave, "Rest early, maybe the disaster relief matter still needs to be dealt with by our management department." β
Gu Ji squeezed his eyebrows, turned around and returned to the rest tent arranged for him by Anurag, took out his backpack and ate a large box of canned food, and poured two large mouthfuls of water before planting himself on the bed.
This night, he slept until the afternoon.
When he got up in the evening, Gu Ji first filled his stomach, and then followed Anurag with Fatima to deal with the material differentiation of the disaster shelter.
And so it went on for two days.
On the afternoon of the third day, the rain finally stopped.
The victims of the entire shelter were cheering and rejoicing, including the ministers of the state government and the district governors, as if everything was the same as that afternoon four days ago, but the real crisis had just begun.
And just when Anurag breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, two army green off-road vehicles drove in the distance, and two soldiers in light-colored camouflage uniforms, armed with INSAS automatic rifles with black guns and yellow handguards, walked quickly towards them.
Looking at each other's "imposing" appearance, the three of them were a little stunned.
The soldiers walked straight up to them, and one of them, with a large beard, glanced at a few people, first confirmed their identities, and then showed a document.
"Excuse me, is it Vidi Dali, Anurag......"
"Yes, what's the matter?"
"Instructed by my superiors, the three of you need to come with me, right away!"
"Minister, this ......"
Fatima had never seen this kind of scene, she subconsciously looked at Gu Ji and Anurag, and saw that both of them had grim faces, so she knew that something was not small.
Because the soldiers didn't even have a chance to prepare for them, they took the three of them into the car, and this scene stunned the rest of the ministers and county magistrates, who, for reasons of the federal system, rarely deal with the central army on weekdays.
Along the way, Gu Ji was secretly looking at the accompanying military vehicle beside him and behind him.
There is no doubt that these soldiers are all real guns, in addition to the Indian self-made generation sharpshooter INSAS automatic rifle, the rear car is also specially equipped with a PKM general-purpose machine gun.
Military documents only state that they will be escorted to the Dibrugger airport.
With such a strict and decisive approach, there is a possibility:
Summoned from above!
As for why the armed transportation is necessary, it is most likely related to the relationship between the state government, after all, the northeast of India has always been not peaceful, and the armed are also to ensure safety.
Soon, the vehicle arrived at Dibrugger Airport.
It is a medium-sized dual-use airport with two light green military aircraft parked on the airfield, one of which is an Il-76 heavy transport aircraft, where soldiers and firefighters are carrying supplies, and the other is a C-295MW medium transport aircraft.
In front of the boarding ladder, there stood several familiar people, who were members of the previous team of experts from the disaster response force.
Fatima gradually reacted.
And in the center of these expert members, there is also an air force academy officer in military uniform, and a young Indian man in a black suit with an extraordinary temperament, wearing silver-rimmed glasses, looking sven.
As soon as they met, he spoke directly.
Just an hour ago, the Naval Meteorological Center sent the data of the Bay of Bengal Marine Meteorological Prediction Model to the Central Meteorological Bureau, and after analysis by meteorological experts, it was confirmed that the probability of the formation of a tropical storm as interpreted by Mr. Vidi three days ago was very high, and the Central Cabinet Secretariat urgently ordered me to personally pick up the three to New Delhi!"
Heading to New Delhi?!
Anurag and Fatima looked at each other, and then shifted their gaze to Gu Ji at the same time, their eyes were full of shock, they didn't expect that the disaster that Gu Ji predicted in the camp that morning turned out to be true!
"Three of me!"
Before a few people could react from the shock, the cabinet secretary led them into the transport plane.
Because it is a military aircraft, the environment inside the cabin can be described as "simple to the extreme", with an open area, military green folding chairs against the wall on both sides of the aircraft, and five-point seat belts.
Looking at the assistant secretary to sit down, Anurag also found a position to sit down.
Truth be told, even as a high-ranking state official, it was his first time flying on a military plane, and Fatima sat next to him in a daze, forgetting what he was going to ask.
Only Gu Ji bent the corners of his mouth, with a slightly excited expression.
Summoned by the Cabinet Secretariat.
Go to New Delhi.
With these two points, it means that the central government has completely trusted him!
Not only will this accomplish the objectives of the game, but once he has the trust endorsement of the central cabinet, it will be easier for him to take priority command in the disaster in West Bengal.
Rumbleββ!
The transport plane's engine starts, and the plane gradually rises into the air.
Assam is about 1,500 kilometers from New Delhi, India, and it takes almost three hours to land at the speed of a military medium transport aircraft.
And so it is.
At five o'clock in the evening, the plane landed on time at the New Delhi Air Base.
An airbase is different from a dual-use airport, as soon as you get out of the cabin, you can hear the roar of the engines of airplanes and cars, as well as the sound of soldiers running and shouting.
This reminded him of scenes from the World War II levels.
What made a few people a little uncomfortable was the weather in New Delhi.
You know, this week, all three of them soaked in the north of Assam, Gu Ji has long been accustomed to dark clouds, and heavy rain and water, but New Delhi is the complete opposite, the orange sunset in the evening slanted in the sky, setting off the hot weather and the air is slightly dry.
As soon as Gu Ji and the three of them got off the plane, there were already several luxury black Mercedes-Benz cars that had been waiting for a long time in front of them.
In terms of national high-end government vehicles, the Indian government has always preferred safe and stable German cars, especially the Mercedes-Benz series.
Anurag sat in the first car with Fatima, Gu Ji sat in the second car with the auxiliary secretary, left the air base, and the convoy soon drove into the city, as the capital of India, the buildings of New Delhi are obviously much more "luxurious" than Dispur, but it is still not as modern as Mumbai, as the second most populous city in the world, New Delhi is very congested on the roads, the environment is noisy, the streets are full of dilapidated tuk tuks, the buildings are also old, and what is even more annoying is that there are car horns everywhere, so that you don't realize that this is the capital.
But these dilapidated and colourful buildings blend well with India's historic architecture, with Khan Souq, Agrasen stepped wells, and office towers in the city centre.
An hour later.
The convoy passed through the bustling and crowded urban area, and suddenly turned into a wide and bright avenue.
Looking at the huge Indian gate on the left, which resembles a triumphal arch, Anurag's heart beat inexplicably, and the next moment, a magnificent palace mansion appeared around the corner.
Indian Presidential Palace!!
Sorry, I drove 22 hours to get home on the day I went home, experienced a heavy snowstorm in the middle, almost overturned, and then experienced a high-speed road closure, remove the charging, I almost had 18 hours in the high-intensity concentration of driving, went home at five o'clock the next morning, directly stupid, these days have not rested well, sleep during the day, wake up at seven or eight o'clock at night, the heart is also a little painful, I don't know if it is the sequelae of the mask, today is more comfortable, tomorrow will begin to resume the eight thousand words update, the New Year is the same! I hope you all have a safe journey home! I just had a poor sense of crisis, I forgot to change my snow tires, the car skidd, and I almost lost control and overturned......
