At this moment, the deputy secretary-general was still a little uneasy. This was the first time he had been so bold. Will he be criticized by then?
But the deputy secretary-general could no longer think about these things so much and continued: "I just received a call from the General Office of the Government Affairs Council. Prime Minister Leng Yunfei Leng of the Government Affairs Council has arrived in Bashu on a special plane."
Upon hearing this, none of the members of the Standing Committee of the Bashu Provincial Committee were too surprised. Su Jue nodded and waved, "Okay, I understand."
As he spoke, he turned to look at the other members of the Standing Committee and said: "Without further delay, comrades, we should immediately go to various cities and disaster-stricken areas according to the pre-planned plan. Premier Leng, Governor Nie and I went together to greet him."
Nie Zhenbang also added next to him: "Comrades, I believe everyone knows Mr. Leng's character and his style is very pragmatic. The central government's quick response this time is enough to prove this. If I say more, I will
I won’t say it anymore. I believe everyone knows it.
After going down, we must report the situation in the disaster-stricken area as soon as possible to see whether there are any casualties, how many houses collapsed and how many people were buried. In addition, there must be a shortage of drinking water, food, tents, and **.
I’ll report some rough data.”
Su Jue nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. Nie Zhenbang was very thoughtful. Mr. Leng would definitely ask about the situation in the disaster area when he came. When the time comes, it would be dereliction of duty if the Bashu Provincial Committee does not know everything about the situation.
Then he also said: "Comrades, in the face of a major disaster at this time, we must work together as one to do the earthquake relief work. Governor Nie and I are here to ask everyone."
It's about four o'clock in the afternoon.
In fact, less than two hours after Nie Zhenbang returned to Bashu Province, Mr. Leng's special plane landed at Tianfu International Airport.
This means that aside from the time between Mr. Leng going to the airport and boarding the plane to takeoff and landing, the country responded quickly in less than two hours after the earthquake occurred.
The airport's tarmac was very tense. Civilians and security personnel from the surrounding airport police stations acted as security guards.
At this time, Mr. Leng and his entourage were traveling in a light vehicle. One of them was Deputy Prime Minister Nie Guowei, the father of Nie Zhenbang, an old acquaintance. The other one was a lieutenant general from the Military Commission. The other personnel were Mr. Leng's security personnel.
After getting off the plane, there were no greetings or smiles. As soon as Mr. Leng was greeted, he said, "How is the situation in the disaster area?"
Su Jue had nothing to hide at this moment and reported: "Other standing committee members of the Prime Minister's Province have been dispatched to the affected cities and towns around Yizhou City. The latest disaster situation has not been reported yet, and now the entire communication in Bashu has been interrupted.
The situation of highways in the province has not been reported yet. The national highway authorities
Landslides occurred in several places due to the earthquake. In addition, transportation and communications in Yizhou City, the hardest-hit area this time, have been completely interrupted. I have coordinated with the Tianfu Military Region to send a small force to the army stationed in Changhong City.
The detachment went to Yizhou City to spread the first-hand information as quickly as possible."
Listening to Su Jue's report, Mr. Leng's face looked very solemn and he nodded: "Comrade Su Jue and Comrade Zhenbang go to the Provincial Party Committee first.
The group of people boarded a commercial vehicle parked on the apron. The front car blew its siren and roared out of Tianfu International Airport.
The journey was smooth and went directly into the courtyard of the Bashu Provincial Committee and Provincial Government. Mr. Leng went directly into the conference room without taking a break.
As soon as he entered the door, Mr. Leng said: "Comrade Su Jue, bring me a traffic map of Bashu Province."
Naturally, no one dared to disobey Mr. Leng’s request. Soon, the traffic map was placed on the table. Mr. Leng’s eyes were fixed on the Yizhou city. The pen in the hand of the city official drew a circle in Yizhou. He raised his head and looked around the crowd and said, “Before coming.
I had already communicated with Vice Premier Nie on the plane. Yizhou City in Bashu Province is a marginally poor area with poor roads. The road in and out of Yizhou can only rely on one of the two national highways18
One of the National Highways is National Highway No. 03. According to the opinions given by seismic experts and transportation experts after studying the geological conditions of Yizhou City, they are not optimistic. It is certain that National Highway No. 03 must be blocked. In this way, the road in and out of Yizhou is only
National Highway 18 is left, and there will definitely be landslides and collapses in many places on National Highway 18. Now Yizhou can be said to have become an isolated city."
After the words fell, Vice Premier Nie also spoke next to him: "Comrades, I am also familiar with the situation in Yizhou City, which is vast and sparsely populated. Traffic jams and communication interruptions are the disaster relief situation in Yizhou City. We are in the dark. Not only does the urban area need to have a party
Carry out disaster relief with the government
Work: All counties, districts, and towns in Yizhou City must also carry out comprehensive rescue work. At this time, the people of Yizhou City must be isolated and helpless. They must open up connections with Yizhou as quickly as possible. Get the first
Hands-on disaster information.”
Nie Guowei's words were also sonorous and powerful. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Su Jue raised her head and said, "Come in."
A staff member from the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee outside the door reported: "Dear Secretary Su, the disaster situation in some prefectures and cities has been reported. According to the news from Changhong City, the two national highways leading to Yizhou City have been damaged.
It’s blocked.”
As soon as Nie Zhenbang heard this, he immediately stepped forward and took the information from the staff and handed it to Mr. Leng.
According to the latest news, just as experts predicted, traffic in Yizhou City has been completely blocked.
At this time, Mr. Leng's expression immediately became serious. Traffic was blocked. What was the situation in Yizhou City? The time of the earthquake happened to be when he was at work. How did the leading members of the Yizhou Municipal Party Committee team escape from danger? If Yizhou City
Without a strong leadership team at this moment, it is unimaginable that Yizhou City will be in complete chaos at this time.
Mr. Leng pondered for a while and slowly said: "Time is life. The disaster is an order. Comrades, Yizhou City is a land under the rule of our Republic of China. At this moment, the three million people in Yizhou need us and need our support and support."
Help. At this time, we must have a team of troops to advance into Yizhou immediately. No matter how we walk, fly or swim, even if you just crawl, you must climb into Yizhou for me."
After the words fell, Nie Guowei said from the side: "I'm afraid the Prime Minister's helicopter won't work. It's too dangerous. Yizhou City is surrounded by mountains and is surrounded by peaks thousands of meters high. You can't reach this height by helicopter from high altitude. The air at high altitude is thin.
If the plane is accidentally destroyed, people will be killed. And if you pass through the mountain peaks, the aftershocks will continue to conflict with the airflow, and it is not suitable to use helicopters. The only way at present is to send an army to cross the mountains on foot and enter Yizhou City."
After Nie Guowei finished speaking, Nie Zhenbang stood up next to him. At this moment, Nie Zhenbang looked at Mr. Leng and others with a serious expression and said solemnly: "Prime Minister, leaders, Secretary Su, I will lead the team in."
"You? No? You are a dignified governor. At this time, the province's earthquake relief work still needs you to preside over the earthquake relief work. What should you do if you go to other places in Yizhou?" Without thinking, there was no room for consideration. Mr. Leng immediately stopped Nie Zhenbang.
idea.
On the other hand, Nie Guowei looked at his son with a somewhat complicated expression and sighed with emotion about the implications of entering the epicenter at this time. Nie Guowei knew very well that there were only four felt aftershocks in this period of time. This is still in Tianfu, which is only a few kilometers away from Yizhou.
It's more than 300 kilometers away. If we were in Yizhou, I'm afraid there would be more aftershocks. Going in at this time would be life-threatening at any time. If you're not careful, you could risk your life staying there.
Nie Guowei was silent for a moment, his eyes were firm and he said in a deep voice: "Nie Zhenbang, tell me your reasons.
After the words fell, Mr. Leng beside him said with some surprise: "Old Nie!"
Nie Guowei waved his hand and said: "Prime Minister Nie Zhenbang is my Nie Guowei's son, Yu Gong. He is a member of the Communist Party. He is the governor of Bashu Province. I want to hear his opinion."
Nie Zhenbang looked at Mr. Leng and his father with a serious expression and said: "Prime Minister and Vice Premier Nie, I think it is most appropriate for me to go at this time. I have three reasons."
"First of all, I am the governor of Bashu Province. Yizhou City is a prefecture-level city. At this moment, there must be a strong leader in the province so that it can shake up all aspects. Secondly, I am familiar with Yizhou City of Bashu Province and I have also been there.
If they rely solely on the military, they are not familiar with the situation.
The situation on the ground is not that the personnel of the government system cannot carry out rescue work in a timely manner. Thirdly, I have had military training experience in the Northwest Military Region. My personal military quality and ability have no problem at all. I asked the organization to approve me to lead the team into
Yizhou City.”
Listening to Nie Zhenbang's words, the conference room was silent. At this moment, Mr. Leng and Vice President Nie were silent, and no one dared to make this decision.
Mr. Leng looked at Nie Guowei and thought for a moment, but Nie Guowei nodded and said: "Prime Minister, I agree with Comrade Nie Zhenbang's opinion."
At this point, Nie Guowei looked directly at Mr. Leng and said: "In the face of a catastrophic disaster, what does personal safety and gains and losses count compared to national interests? This is what Nie Zhenbang and his grandfather have always taught us. I think Nie Zhenbang is the most suitable candidate. I agree.
