Chapter 71: Still looking at the current day

"Comrade Zhao Guodong called me the day before yesterday and said that he was worried that the water level of Yuexiu River would rise too quickly to pose a threat to the surrounding lives and property, and hoped to make transfer preparations in advance. I agreed and asked him to decide on his own based on the actual situation. Later, Xijiang District used militias, public security police and some party members to transfer the lower terrain of several towns in the south. Later, after the mudslide broke out in Canghua, they expanded the transfer scope to all areas they thought were dangerous. Therefore, when the Mishan Reservoir collapsed, several threatened towns in the south had basically been transferred, and the besieged were actually only the party member commando they went out to patrol later." Huang Ling explained carefully.

"Good job!" Even Ying Dongliu couldn't help but be amazed by his birth. In addition to Canghua County, the ones who were most worried about at that time were Xijiang District and Dongjiang District. Xijiang District also included some urban areas. Once the river embankments in Xijiang also had danger, the danger would be quite great. "Is there any problem with the river embankments in Xijiang and Dongjiang?"

"The river embankment in Xijiang District has been fully reinforced and repaired this year, and there is no problem. There is a dangerous situation in Dongjiang District. However, now through the full efforts of the troops and reserve militia, the dangerous situation has been controlled and has not caused much harm." Huang Ling paused, "Mayor Zhigao is now supervising the emergency work on site in Dongjiang District."

"There are different performances in several counties and districts in a city. What are the causes? Apart from natural disasters, are there any man-made disasters? Is it because of incompetent organization, or whether it is a problem of leadership ability, or is it a careless and careless mind? Lao Huang, you, the secretary of the municipal party committee, encountered this kind of thing when you first arrived, but this point is worth exploring. Now the main energy is still to rescue the trapped people. Tonight," Ying Dongliu breathed a deep breath and looked at the watch. "No, it's already early morning. I immediately try my best to save the people from danger. After a night of bubbling, the foundation of these houses is quite fragile. They may collapse when there is any disturbance. We must solve these problems in the shortest time. I hope our boat and bridge group can arrive as soon as possible."

Huang Ling nodded repeatedly by Ying Dongliu's extremely harsh words. If such a thing happened, no one who dared to be the secretary of the municipal party committee dared to say that he had no responsibility? Even if you came yesterday, you had to bear it if something happened today. Fortunately, this governor, who is said to be quite rigorous and sharp, performed quite politely and did not throw words too much at the stairs.

The provincial party secretary Ning Fa arrived in Ningling City the next morning, with Kang Renliang and Yan Limin as a group of sub-provinces. After the city leaders took over Ningfa, Ning Fa did not give them any chance to say anything more. Except for simply listening to the current situation, they immediately rushed to the disaster site in Dongjiang District.

Following Ningfa, Hu Lian, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, Wang Fusheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Military Region, and the next battalion of the Zhouqiao Regiment immediately devoted himself to the rescue and relocation of the people in Dongjiang District.

Many townships in Dongjiang District received flood impacts, but the main attacks were the two relatively low-lying towns at the southernmost end. The surging floods turned the two townships into a vast ocean. Ningfa took the assault boat provided by the boat bridge group to marching in the water town, and most of the houses were flooded, leaving only roofs and half of the walls. Many houses even collapsed in front of Ningfa.

The work efficiency of the boat bridge regiment was quite high. The assault boat and rubber boats rushed forward and quickly rescued dozens of victims trapped in several places and high places. However, it was obvious that the number of victims trapped in the two townships was quite large and extremely scattered. The workload of the boat bridge regiment was quite large. The Dongjiang District Government also organized several small boats to start patrol and rescue. However, because the flood flow was still quite large, it also posed a certain threat to the rescue of the ship.

"Secretary Ning, the situation seems very serious. The flood does not decrease at all. Moreover, if rain continues to fall upstream, the water level will probably continue to rise. This will also put great pressure on the embankment in the downstream Ningling City section. The news from the hydrological station says that the water level in Wujiang has also risen to the highest level in history." Hu Lian, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, sighed, frowned and smacked his lips, "Once the embankment collapses in Ningling City, it will be quite dangerous."

"Lao Shu, is there any problem in Ningling City?" Ning Fa was sitting in a raincoat and penetrated the bow of the boat, with deep eyes, as if he wanted to see through the white rain curtain in front of him.

Although Ning Fa's tone was not high, its weight was not light. After a word, Shu Zhigao's whole body suddenly felt tense. "Secretary Ning, we have specially inspected and reinforced the Wujiang River embankment in the city before the flood season, so there should be no major problems."

"Should?!" Ning Fa's voice suddenly increased a few degrees.

"There is absolutely no problem here in the main urban area, I promise!" Shu Zhigao said while sweating profusely and gritted his teeth.

At this time, he had to bear the responsibility for expressing this attitude. At this time, he was extremely grateful to Zhao Guodong for his investment in the reinforcement and elevation project of the Wujiang River Embankment by Meng Yuan and the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau. For this reason, Jin Yongjian was furious in front of him, saying that Meng Yuan and Wang Daolu were arbitrarily taking over water conservancy funds in places where there was no need to invest. He said that Wujiang River Embankment was in good condition and routine inspections and repairs were carried out every year, and there was no need to invest again. Meng Yuan and Wang Daolu invested nearly one million yuan in a row due to the pressure and face of some people, and were purely a prodigal son. Shu Zhigao was also a little unhappy at that time, thinking that Meng Yuan was too soft and succumbed to Zhao Guodong's pressure in such matters. Now it seems that this is almost saving his political life.

As long as there is no problem in the main urban area, even if some situations occur in Dongjiang District and the development zone, it will be much easier to explain. Compared with the property of a company and the lives of a human, it is completely incomparable at this time. No matter how much the losses are, you can find a way to save them. If there are more people's lives, it is political responsibility.

"Hmph, I thought you, the mayor, were not even sure about this!" Ning Fa's face was already dark and relaxed a little, "There is no problem in the main urban area, which means there is still a problem in the suburbs?"

"Secretary Ning, this flood was too fierce and too sudden, and the scale was far beyond what our generation had experienced. I dare not speak in front of you. Dongjiang District may not be as prepared as Xijiang District, so..." Shu Zhigao felt that his back was wet. It was not wet from the rain, but was soaked in cold sweat on his body.

Ning Fa no longer said, "The main urban area seems to be in the Xijiang District, right? Why do you dare to boast about the main urban area?"

"In the early stage, both the urban and district levels in Xijiang District allocated special funds to increase and reinforce the embankment facilities, so I am sure, but Secretary Ning, you also know that Ningling's finance is limited, so..."

Before Shu Zhigao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ning Fa: "Okay, I'm not here to listen to you crying poorly at this time. I only need you to make sure that you have a certain guarantee. Since Xijiang District is not a big problem, then Lao Wang and Zhouqiao Group will focus their main energy on Canghua County and Dongjiang District."

It was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that Ning Fa and his party met Ying Dongliu and Huang Ling at the Canghua meeting.

The situation in Canghua was extremely severe. Three thousand people were trapped in the four affected towns. The rescue work was carried out very slowly before the arrival of the Zhouqiao troops. Fortunately, Xijiang provided two rubber boats to barely relieve Huang Ling's embarrassment in front of Ying Dongliu.

The number of deaths and missing people in Canghua is still uncountable. Although the flood level has not risen again, according to the weather forecast in Wuling Mountains, there is still a possibility of heavy to heavy rain, which makes everyone present feel like a huge rock falls into their hearts.

At 5 pm, Vice Premier of the State Council and General Commander of Flood Control and Drought Relief Wen Guoji led Minister of Water Resources Yang Tianming and his party to Ningling from Taiping Airport to Ningling. At 8:30 pm, Vice Premier Wen and his party arrived in Ningling City to inspect the rescue and disaster relief situation. That night, heavy rain fell again in Wuling Mountains, and the water levels of Wujiang and Yuexiu Rivers rose to the highest water level on record. There was a dangerous situation in the Cuihe River embankment, and three dams were broken. Fortunately, they were discovered and blocked in time, but one dam was still damaged by a town in Dongjiang District.

The next afternoon, Vice Premier Wen and his party arrived at Canghua to command emergency rescue and disaster relief, and met with Ningfa and Yingdongliu. A boat bridge brigade, which was reinforced by the Guangzhou Military Region through air transport and railway transport, and two other field troops stationed in Anyuan Province, also arrived in Ningling to carry out large-scale emergency rescue and disaster relief operations, while the rainfall in Wuling Mountains gradually weakened from strong.

Zhao Guodong's face was a little dark. He had been experiencing emergency rescue for several days and could only sleep for one hour every night. Fortunately, his physical fitness was good. In addition, he could only support him by meditating and adjusting his breath for an hour every day. Zeng Lingchun and Wei Xiaolan had already lost their shape and could no longer support him. After the situation on Xijiang gradually stabilized, Zhao Guodong asked them to take some shifts to rest, and he still took Luo Yucheng and deputy district mayor Shi Gang to inspect the Yuexiu River embankment.

Although the rain has stopped, the water level is still running at a high level, and the river banking in the Canghua section upstream is still in full swing. However, due to the large amount of water, the progress is not smooth. Fortunately, the troops are participating, Canghua can take a breath.

"Secretary Zhao, Secretary Luo, this flood will make it difficult for us Ningling to recover for at least two or three years." Rong Sheng was a fat black man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He served as deputy director of the Land and Resources Bureau, as township mayor and party committee secretary, and finally returned to the Director of the Land and Resources Bureau and then became deputy district mayor.
