Chapter 168 Explosion Plan

"Son, the Army Mountain Division does not have a special force in the true sense. Since it involves water blasting, I think it is more suitable for the troops under our naval command to perform this task."

When the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Navy heard Gu Ji's words, he couldn't help but retort.

Unlike the US military, the Indian military does not have a unified special forces command. Currently, there are only four officially established special forces in the country, which are affiliated to different services and government departments, including the Marine Corps Special Forces, which is affiliated with the Navy Command, and the Internal Affairs

The special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs under the control of the Ministry, the Cabinet Special Forces under the control of the Cabinet, and the Special Border Force under the leadership of the counterintelligence agency are also relatively complex in their organization, ranging in size from hundreds to 10,000 people, and the strength of the troops varies greatly.

And as the deputy chief of staff of the Navy said, among India’s army, navy and air force, only the navy has established special forces. Although the army’s 57th Mountain Division border team and paratroopers can perform certain special force tasks, he said

Not really a special forces unit.

Gu Ji knew that the other party wanted to take the credit for himself.

But this task is really not suitable for the navy.

"Deputy Chief of Naval Staff, as of June 2019, data from the CWC Central Water Commission show that there are 5,745 dams in India, of which 596 are in West Bengal. Nearly 60% are in the northern part of the state, where the terrain is generally rough.

High, although the Marine Corps special forces are very good at performing amphibious missions, they may not be able to adapt to the altitude sickness caused by high altitudes!"

"In fact, we have also conducted hypoxic training on high-altitude land..."

The deputy chief of staff of the Navy went on to explain two sentences, but judging from the increasingly quiet tone, it was obvious that he was somewhat lacking in confidence.

Modi pursed his lips, took off his glasses, pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a little tired.

"I don't know which university you graduated from. Can you, a small official in the state's disaster management department, be able to point fingers at the national infrastructure and engineering department?"

I don’t know if Gu Ji was born with a conflict with “water conservancy”. Experts from the Ministry of Water Resources were the first to jump out and sarcastically mock him for “just because he has met the Prime Minister, he is unscrupulous.” These experts and technicians can serve in central state departments.

, they were all arrogant and arrogant. They expressed their dissatisfaction one by one and simply stood up and left the scene.

In the hotel corridor, Anurag still had not reacted to the shock of participating in the prime minister's staff meeting just now, and the muscles on his face were still trembling with excitement.

He finally saw clearly what these senior officials and experts were thinking. Maybe they didn’t understand the seriousness of the matter, or maybe they hadn’t seen the horror of the Assam floods with their own eyes. Everyone here, from the bottom of their hearts, didn’t stand.

Consider the problem from the perspective of the people and disaster management, but give priority to calculating the responsibilities and losses of your own department.

Fatima is responsible for considering the meteorological and hydrological environment, Gu Ji is responsible for selecting dams and formulating blasting plans, and Anurag relies on his rich emergency experience to handle the process of people relocation and compensation.

"It's true. When I was serving in the mountain army, I learned blasting-related techniques."

"You are the incarnation of Lord Shiva and my partner. How can I refuse to save you!"

So he said coldly: "I think you have not seen the essence of the problem clearly. Once the water level of the Hooghly River surges, the small upstream dam cannot support it, causing the collapse of the Farakka Dam. This will be transmitted to the downstream and cause continuous breaches. At that time, the impact will not be

Not only the livelihood of farmers, but the lives of thousands of people, infrastructure such as houses, roads, bridges and electricity will all be severely damaged, and the cost of repairs will be dozens of times that of blowing up the dam!"

The expert staff and senior officials retreated one by one. Gu Ji and the other three also left the room under the leadership of the assistant secretary, and a car was sent to take them to a five-star luxury hotel near the presidential palace.

After all, these people left in disgrace on the spot just to put pressure on them, and Anurag had to humble himself and beg them.

Anurag seemed to really regard Gu Ji as one of his own, whispering a lot of official information in his ear, "In short, this plan must be formulated more rigorously, and it must not be caught by the West Bengal government."

Got the handle!"

Gu Ji immediately brought up the famous "dog breaking law", causing Fatima next to her to cover her mouth and laugh.

"Vidi, the director just called me and said that the talks between the Prime Minister and the West Bengal government were going well. Let us hurry up and formulate the plan. You can quickly clean up!"

After saying these words, Fatima finally let out the breath that was blocked in her chest.

Throughout the morning, no effective plan was formulated.

The rectangular strategy conference room has already gathered many relevant technical experts from finance and taxation, water conservancy, infrastructure, engineering blasting and other departments.

The next day, he was awakened by the knocking on the door. He raised his wrist and saw that it was just past seven o'clock.

In the conference room, everyone was chatting and arguing. Some people even stood up and banged the table on the spot.

"Minister, for this reason, we should have the absolute right to speak. There is no need to listen to the advice of experts and technicians."

Gu Ji's USMC blasting methodology has been strengthened in actual combat after passing the bomb level. It is not a problem to blow up complex buildings such as buildings, let alone a curved dam.

Gu said "Okay" several times, went back to the house, washed up briefly, and then rushed to the Presidential Palace with the minister.

The news about Gu Jihui's "directional blasting" greatly encouraged Anurag.

then.

"Hahaha, Minister, I have told you before that Vidi must be the incarnation of Lord Shiva and is omnipotent. Even if he tells me now that he can blow away tropical storms in one breath, I don't think I will be surprised.

!”

…

Secondly, it is necessary to calculate the negative impact of the explosion based on the dam's construction structure and construction environment, whether it is necessary to relocate people in advance, and the possibility of subsequent repairs.

"But this matter is not that easy to do. The relationship between the governor of West Bengal and the central cabinet government has not been very good. The chief minister of Bengal has publicly criticized the prime minister. Even the state is in a mess.

There is chaos, and there are also frictions between the regional commissioners. In short, blowing up the dam is not that easy!"

After saying that, he also left with him.

Since last night, he had been thinking about how he could highlight his importance in the formulation of this plan and personally participate in military operations. Until he searched for the "Vidi" mobile phone to check his identity, he found a message about

His powerful character identity setting: Vidi participated in a new recruitment program called "Path of Fire" issued by the Indian Ministry of Defense during college and served in the mountain troops of Assam for two years.

"Okay, you should also go to bed early."

Throughout the planning meeting, everyone was conducting model deductions with computers, debating and quarreling with each other, and various documents filled with data were flying in the sky. For a while, they could not come up with a solution.

By the afternoon, these experts had not returned.

Fatima made a cup of black coffee for each of the three people, and while munching on bread, she started to make a detailed bombing plan for the dam with full firepower.

The conference room was silent for a long time.

"Vidi, you are too courageous. You were almost besieged by a group of senior executives at the meeting just now!"

Gu Ji answered carefully every word.

Everyone in finance, taxation, water conservancy, engineering, etc. had some displeasure on their faces, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Gu Ji was calling them "incompetent."

But Gu Ji would not spoil them. After all, he was a little shrimp of the state government.

"Minister, if a brick is thrown into a doghouse, whichever dog barks the loudest must be the one it hit. I just told the truth, and these people got anxious, which shows that they didn't care at all.

Put it on disaster relief!”

"Director Desai, if the people under you are discussing things like this, then there is no need for our Finance and Taxation Department to continue to participate in this meeting!"

What!?

The cabinet secretary took out his notes and jotted down the key points one by one, stood up from his seat, and turned around to issue an eviction order.

"The Farakka Dam must not be bombed. It is a key dam on a tributary of the middle reaches of the Ganges. In order to obtain the right to build this dam, do you know how many times we had repeated discussions with Bangladesh? It affects

Livelihoods for thousands of farmers!”

But once the plan is formulated, the Prime Minister will assign the Ministry of Interior and military region troops to implement it, and he will have no chance to intervene at that time.

"The people under you are really interesting."

"Let's go. Since they don't want to talk to us, let's go. It's almost 11 o'clock. Let's go eat first!"

With thoughts, Gu Ji gradually fell into sleep.

Either the Ministry of Finance and Taxation refuses because it consumes too much money, or it is recommended to replace the infrastructure and blasting because the construction is too difficult, or the water conservancy force terminates it because of the irreplaceable importance of the dam.

Therefore, in order to personally participate in the action, Gu Ji must find a way to highlight his irreplaceability in the plan.

Gu Ji nodded.

Don’t think that blowing up a dam is just a matter of throwing in explosives. The plan seems simple, but in fact it is very complicated, because there are nearly 600 dams in West Bengal. It is impossible to blow them all up, but according to the plan

The heavy rains brought by tropical storms have been simulated and calculated to determine the key dams that are most likely to cause flash floods or pose the greatest threat to people's lives.

After the minister entered the room, he turned to look at Fatima, "Thank you, Fatima. Thank you for providing timely data at the meeting just now!"

"I will be responsible for coordinating and contacting the Mountain Division and West Bengal. Gauba, you are mainly responsible for the media. Vidi, it will be led by your state's Disaster Management Department, with experts from the Disaster Management Bureau, Finance and Taxation, National Water Resources Department, and Engineering.

It is recommended to review and draw up a detailed dam destruction plan, and be sure to calculate the feasibility, losses and harmful effects."

There were only three people from the State Disaster Management Department left in the conference room. Looking at Gu Ji's calm and calm look, Anurag couldn't help but give a warning:

"Vidi, what you just said was a bit too frank!"

"I also think the bombing of the Yiptai Dam is too difficult. I don't know the level of the military, but from the perspective of engineering blasting, the dam is built between two mountains and is a very narrow gorge.

, the project was very difficult when it was first built, but now forced blasting will not only make subsequent repairs difficult, it will also easily cause landslides on both sides, and the risk is too high!"

Because of this, he chose to work in the Assam Agriculture Department after graduation.

Anurag glared at her, shook his head and sighed.

"That's not necessarily true. I also know a bit about construction demolition!"

“Hey, that’s what I say, but if things really break up and the plan doesn’t go forward, the Prime Minister will only blame us. After all, the Prime Minister named the Assam Disaster Management Department as the leader of this plan!

"

"Oh my God, tell me, I'm not dreaming! How come you are like the almighty Lord Shiva and can do anything?"
