Xiao Zheng put down the phone and looked out the window. Unexpectedly, a flock of birds was flying over from the other side of the mountain, overwhelming and chaotically passing over their car! Sometimes it was like a big blanket covering the sky and the sun, and sometimes it was like they were flying in the air.
The swirling tornado lasted for half a minute. Everyone who saw it was frightened and uneasy.
Liu Shisen thought to himself that the "Nine-clawed Cauldron" of the Xiao family in Huajing might have really predicted the aftershocks! But there was still no response from the Sichuan Earthquake Bureau! Liu Shisen turned to Luo Dali, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee and Rou Rou, who were in the same car.
Zhou Huamin, director of the Municipal Propaganda Department, said: "Minister Luo, Minister Zhou, you also saw that those birds just now were a bit weird, weren't they? There might really be aftershocks, you should report it to your leaders immediately!"
Luo Dali and Zhou Huamin also saw with their own eyes the scene of birds flying around just now. With what Liu Shisen said, Luo Dali became nervous and said, "It's a bit unusual. I'll report it to Minister Ding." Zhou Huamin also said, "I
Also report the situation to our secretary." Provincial Party Committee ** responded
After getting the phone call, he said: "As for the response to aftershocks, we are not a functional department, but I will call the secretary to remind him." Zhou Huamin called the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Johor City. Soon, the call was connected, and the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee listened to Zhou Huamin
report and asked: "Minister Zhou, where are you now?"
Zhou Huamin said: "I am accompanying the leaders of the Huajing Propaganda Department to Sichuan County." The Secretary of the Roux Municipal Party Committee said: "Are you going to see Ma Hanshan?" Zhou Huamin admitted: "Yes, Secretary." The Secretary of the Roux Municipal Committee said
: "I knew it! The leader you are accompanying now is a friend of Ma Hanshan. He must be Ma Hanshan."
Hanshan told them that aftershocks were about to occur, and asked them to ask you to call me! Comrade Ma Hanshan, he works seriously and responsibly, but sometimes he is too subjective, and there is no plan or notice from above, so he causes earthquakes on his own.
If you give an early warning and evacuate people, your superiors will criticize you and even hold you accountable!"
Earthquake forecasts in a place are divided into long-term forecasts, medium-term forecasts, short-term forecasts and imminent earthquake forecasts, which must be issued by the province; in areas where short-term forecasts have been issued, if an impending earthquake abnormal situation is found, in an emergency, the earthquake forecast can be issued by the local government.
The city and county people's governments issue imminent earthquake forecasts within 48 hours.
But now Shuzhong Province has not issued short-term earthquake forecasts, because the prefectural, city, and county people's governments do not have the power to issue emergency forecasts. They must report to the province, and the relevant provincial leaders and functional departments must hold earthquake situation consultations and put forward earthquake forecast opinions.
.Without the consent of the province, prefectures, cities, and county governments will be held accountable if they make their own forecasts!
At present, there is no clear forecast in the province, which is the concern of the Secretary of the Roux Municipal Party Committee. "Secretary, you are right." Zhou Huamin said, "However, there is something abnormal here in Sichuan County." The Secretary of the Roux Municipal Party Committee said:
"I understand the situation you reported! However, as leading cadres assigned by the provincial committee, we must listen to the province and act in accordance with the rules. Otherwise
Then we are going against the province! Stay calm, if something really happens, as long as we strictly follow the province's requirements, there will be no big problem! But if we do our own thing, we will not be able to live with it. Zhou
Minister, you have to be clear about this. Ma Hanshan is a cadre who aids Shu. If he messes up, he will return to Ninggan at worst. We are different. Where should we go? We can only go back to our hometown!"
The secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Johor City also spoke from the bottom of his heart. Zhou Huamin naturally also had concerns. "After decades of hard work, we returned to before liberation overnight." For leading cadres, there is nothing more tragic than this. Although Zhou Huamin is a municipal party committee member*
*, But even the municipal party committee secretary couldn't afford to lose, let alone him? He sighed and said, "I know, Secretary."
Putting down the phone, Liu Shisen asked: "How is it? Can your municipal party committee secretary listen?" Zhou Huamin said so as not to offend Liu Shisen: "Director Liu, our secretary said that he is clear about the situation and he will ask the province for instructions.
Efforts have been made to strive for the right to issue early warnings. However, whether the province finally agrees to it remains to be seen.
It's really unknown." Liu Shisen nodded and turned to Luo Dali: "Minister Luo, you heard it too. The province is very important. You'd better report the situation here to your minister." Luo Dali.
Li Dao: "Okay, I'll wait for our minister's feedback. Maybe there will be good news."
After all, Luo Dali and Zhou Huamin were from the Propaganda Department, not a functional department of the government's earthquake defense department. Liu Shisen could not force them too much. The group continued towards the Sichuan County Government.
In less than half an hour, Liu Shisen, Xiao Zheng, He Xinliang, Hao Qi, Luo Dali, Zhou Huamin and other leaders had arrived at Ma Hanshan's office. The liaison officer made tea for everyone, but no one was in the mood to drink tea. Xiao Zheng asked: "
Secretary Ma, the next in Sichuan County
Have you made a decision on what to do next?" Ma Hanshan said: "Our county has submitted a request for instructions on issuing aftershock forecasts to the city and the provincial people's government, but it has not been approved yet. I am also very anxious! I hope the province will
I can approve it immediately!"
Liu Shisen looked at Luo Dali and Zhou Huamin again: "Do you two leaders want to ask for help?" Luo Dali and Zhou Huamin looked at each other. They felt a little embarrassed. After all, the earthquake matter was really beyond the control of the Propaganda Department, but Liu Shisen made such a request, and they
I can only bite the bullet and call the leader.
Zhou Huamin got through the phone first, and when he asked about the situation, the secretary of the municipal party committee over there was a little annoyed: "Minister Zhou, you should concentrate on the publicity work. Regarding the earthquake, the city government will handle it.
That's it!" Zhou Huamin put down the phone and didn't
He could truthfully tell Liu Shisen what the Municipal Party Committee Secretary said, otherwise Liu Shisen would definitely be dissatisfied. He couldn't afford to offend him, so he had no choice but to say: "Director Liu, our city has already asked the province for instructions, and we are just waiting for the province's instructions."
." In this way, it is not easy to be exposed.
Luo Dali also called his minister. Ding Shengjian, the chairman of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee, actually went to report the relevant situation to the provincial party secretary. However, the reply he got was: "Comrade Dali, the provincial and national earthquakes
The county closely communicated with the bureau, but still did not identify the possibility of aftershocks, so the county decided to
We cannot issue earthquake forecasts!" Luo Dali informed everyone of the situation, "I'm sorry, Director Liu, Secretary Ma, our Minister Ding has really made an effort to coordinate, but the province must listen to the functional departments and
The Seismological Bureau and seismic experts’ research and judgment, and our Propaganda Department are helpless!”
Liu Shisen closed his eyes and nodded. For the first time in so many years, Liu Shisen felt so depressed!
Last time at a food stall in Baoyuan County, he was beaten by a gangster from Panshan City. He was depressed at first, but Xiao Zheng rushed over immediately and helped him beat him back, and also brought all the gangsters to justice.
.But today’s depression does not come from social injustice, but from someone within the system.
The stability mentality of some people comes from the incompetence and inaction of some institutions! This kind of depression is more torturous than the previous painful fists and kicks. At this moment, Liu Shisen really wished that he was sitting in a position where he could make decisions
He raised his arms and shouted: "Start evacuating the people immediately!"
However, he is not in that position now!
At this moment, a sonorous and powerful voice shouted: "Issue an aftershock forecast and activate the evacuation plan!" This voice came from Ma Hanshan!
Everyone looked at Ma Hanshan. Ma Hanshan was only a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Sichuan County Party Committee. He had to bear huge political risks by doing this! Hao Qi was still a little worried for Ma Hanshan: "Secretary Ma, are you sure you want to do this?
Do this? What if the province punishes you?"
Ma Hanshan looked out the window. A strange blue light flashed in the sky of the county town. This was definitely abnormal. Ma Hanshan said: "Perhaps many people care about the hats on their heads. Of course, I
I also care a lot, but if it's because I'm
No matter what my hat is, I delayed the evacuation of more than 100,000 people and caused heavy casualties. Then I am a sinner of history. I will regret it for the rest of my life and will never be able to get rid of the guilt and torture in my heart! If you really want to take responsibility, just leave me alone.
Come and bear it!”
Xiao Zheng looked at Ma Hanshan and felt a sense of sympathy. The depressed feeling in Liu Shisen's heart seemed to have broken a hole. He breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile a little at the corner of his mouth.
No wonder He Xinliang and others came to Shuzhong to take Ma Hanshan back, because Ma Hanshan is a bloody person! Liu Shisen said: "Comrade Ma Hanshan, go boldly
Let's do it!" Ma Hanshan turned around and said to them: "Everyone, leaders, I'll excuse you. I'm going to deploy earthquake prevention work!" Xiao Zheng said: "It's pointless for us to sit here, you guys will wait for us later.
We will also attend the conference! If there is anything we can do to help, let’s come together.” Ma Hanshan said: “Thank you everyone, let’s go together.”
To the surprise of Liu Shisen, Xiao Zheng and others, when they followed Ma Hanshan into the meeting venue, it was already crowded. It turned out that Ma Hanshan had already notified the leaders of various towns, government departments, and public institutions to come to the meeting.
It has been decided before. Even if the province and city disagree, he will still issue a forecast and evacuate the people! It can be seen that he has already put his personal future aside!
At the beginning of the meeting, Ma Hanshan and the county magistrate of Sichuan County worked together to mobilize, mainly in three aspects: first, issuing early warnings to villages, households, and people; second, evacuating the masses, students to the playground, people to earthquake shelters, and miners to
When leaving the well and workers leaving the factory, all must be implemented; thirdly, while evacuating, we should promote earthquake prevention knowledge and keep up with supplies such as food, drink, and warmth! The meeting was shortened to 20 minutes! After the meeting, everyone went down to mobilize.
Although Liu Shisen and others were listening, they could not help but feel excited.
After the meeting, Xiao Zheng immediately called Fang Ya: "Fang Ya, all Sichuan County where we are located has been mobilized for earthquake prevention!" Fang Ya was surprised: "Really? But we have just arrived at a gold mine!
I’m going to the mine to visit later!”
Xiao Zheng's heart tightened: "Don't go down, it's very dangerous!"
At this moment, Governor Ye and his entourage had already got off the commercial vehicle. Accompanied by local leaders, Huang Zhanfang and others, they walked towards the gold mine and planned to go down to the mine for inspection. Fang Ya ran forward and said: "Governor Ye, what are you talking about in Sichuan County?"
Bian has issued an earthquake warning! You can't go down into the mine."
When Sima Yue heard this, he turned to Fang Ya and said: "The secretary-general of the provincial government is here, and we haven't heard anything about earthquake prevention!" At this time, the secretary-general of the provincial government said: "I know that Sichuan County is asking the province
required the issuance of an earthquake warning, but the national and provincial seismological bureaus
No such early warning has been issued, and the province has rejected their request! It is said that they heard some gossip and were not sure. Now there are all kinds of rumors in Sichuan. If the leaders of Sichuan County issue it without authorization
, I’m afraid I will be punished in the future!”
Sima Yue said to Fang Ya: "Did you hear that? Minister Fang."
