That night, the death toll continued to rise. Zhou Dingkun and Fei Guobin discussed in a low voice whether they should conceal the specific number of deaths. Moreover, the heavy rain continued. It was also a technical issue to report the number of missing people to the superiors.
Zhou Dingkun consulted Ding Changlin. He looked at Ding Changlin and said: "Provincial Governor Changlin, this rainstorm is like this. The death toll will not be too small. Judging from the death toll reported so far, it is already very scary. My country and I
Bin** discussed for a moment whether he should reduce the number of deaths and include them among the missing people when reporting?
We cannot afford to just report the death toll like this. As for the number of missing people, it won’t matter if we report it bit by bit in the future.”
When things have reached this point, it is no longer the fault of any one person, but the mistakes made from top to bottom and the lack of experience in dealing with natural disasters.
Ding Changlin is young and promising, and he dares to challenge, but when nature strikes, everyone is insignificant, and Ding Changlin is no exception!
Ding Changlin knew that Zhou Dingkun had good intentions, and he also knew that Fei Guobin had good intentions. Huo Zhanying remained silent. He looked at Huo Zhanying and asked: "Commander of the War Camp, there are still three days of heavy rain in the future, right? Judging from the current situation,
The death toll mainly comes from water seepage in the subway. There is no statistics on the tunnel. Water seepage in the subway alone has caused hundreds of deaths. No matter how we try to avoid it, this is an indisputable fact.
We can’t imagine how many more casualties the heavy rain will cause in the next three days. I will report the situation truthfully to the superiors now. While asking for support, I also request that the provincial party committee secretary be sent to lead the work in all aspects. As for where I will go, I will
Obey the organization’s arrangements.”
Ding Changlin's words were not meant for Huo Zhanying, but for himself, and even more so for Zhou Dingkun and Fei Guobin. At this time, Ding Changlin had no way to think about his personal future. He just hoped that the rainstorm would end soon.
I just hope that the folks in Anlu Province are safe and sound.
Ding Changlin's words made Zhou Dingkun and Fei Guobin look at each other again. This time, they did not dare to say anything. For Ding Changlin, it is very likely that the provincial governor will be punished if he reports truthfully.
This series of problems is not something Zhou Dingkun and Fei Guobin can afford!
Huo Zhanying, on the other hand, is about to retire. He has worked in the Meteorological Bureau all his life. At this time, he looked at Ding Changlin and said: "Provincial Governor Changlin, I was also wrong. If I insist on reporting one by one, even directly to
If the provincial party committee and the provincial government report, they will not let the Moling Reservoir bear the pressure of such a high water level, and they will not discharge the flood well.
Now is not the time to pursue responsibilities, but I agree with the spirit of seeking truth from facts, and report to the superiors truthfully and ask for more support from the superiors!"
Huo Zhanying's words made Zhou Dingkun and Fei Guobin anxious, but they could no longer stop Huo Zhanying. On the contrary, Ding Changlin became more determined after hearing Huo Zhanying's words.
"You can command the follow-up work with peace of mind. As I said before, mobilize all available forces to protect the safety of the people in the city. I will report to the superiors on the situation in Huailu Province." After Ding Changlin finished speaking, he did not wait for three seconds.
The individual responded again, turned around and left the command post.
Ding Changlin dragged his extremely tired body back to his office. Secretary Zhang Dongyang handed over the latest death toll report. When Ding Changlin looked at the shocking numbers, his eyes suddenly became moist. At this moment, Ding Changlin truly realized what he was doing.
As the governor of a province, what a huge responsibility he has on his shoulders!
Ding Changlin can't blame the people below for obeying orders, he can only blame himself for blindly pursuing economic efficiency while ignoring all aspects of the problem!
After Ding Changlin asked Zhang Dongyang to leave the statistical data sent to him, he closed his eyes to calm down his heavy heart. Although the old leader Yue Guanfeng had told him to control the death toll, due to his misjudgment and the failure to keep up with the rescue work, Ding Changlin
It has led to the sacrifice of so many people. No matter what, Ding Changlin must bear a heavy responsibility!
After finally getting on the right track, Ding Changlin was more distressed than anyone else when Huailu Province was hit so hard. After all, all his efforts over the past year have been spent on the economic development of Huailu Province, and the changes in Huailu Province are also remarkable.
It’s remarkable that a heavy rain ruined everything!
Ding Changlin called his boss directly with a complicated mood. As soon as the call came through, Ding Changlin said very sadly: "Boss, the heavy rain in Huailu Province will continue for three days. Many water conservancy projects in Huailu Province are in disrepair. The upstream Moling
When the reservoir discharged water, it caused backflow in the subway and tunnels. At present, all the trapped people in the subway have been evacuated, and all police forces that can be mobilized are on the front line to rescue people. Even so, water seepage in the subway has caused hundreds of deaths. What will happen to the tunnel across the river?
How many families were devastated is still being counted.
Boss, Huailu Province is a natural disaster. It is also directly related to my neglect of water conservancy projects and communication with comrades. I am willing to accept all punishments from the organization. I also want to resign as provincial governor and request the organization to send more
More experienced and capable provincial party committee secretaries and provincial governors will come to Huailu Province."
As soon as Ding Changlin finished speaking, the boss fell silent. As soon as the boss fell silent, Ding Changlin's heart seemed to be pulled by a strong hand. He was so frightened that he didn't even dare to speak out, let alone say another word.
The boss was silent for a while, then took Ding Changlin's words and said: "If you become a deserter, I will be so disappointed!
Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. If you know that you have made a mistake, you should do everything you can to make up for it, instead of being a deserter!
Chief Dong Wang and I have seen the disaster in Anhuai Province. We have mobilized a large number of troops to Huailu Province. The disaster will soon pass, but reconstruction after the disaster is the top priority.
As for who the Provincial Party Committee Secretary will go to Huailu Province, it will be decided by Chief Dong Wang. You must obey the organization's decisions in everything, without any ideological baggage, and fully cooperate with the work of the newly appointed Provincial Party Committee Secretary."
When Ding Changlin heard the boss's words, he was moved and at a loss. He did not dare to ask any more questions and immediately expressed his position: "Boss, I will definitely obey the organization's arrangements and fully cooperate with the work of the new provincial party committee secretary. I
I will not be a deserter. When I resign as provincial governor, I want to be demoted to deputy provincial governor. I have explained everything to the other party. My biggest mistake was that if I had listened to the report from the relevant departments half a month earlier, I would have been better off half a month earlier.
It would not have happened if we had started the deployment work within months, so many families would not have suffered undue pain."
Ding Changlin's words caused the boss to fall silent again, but this time, he didn't say anything. After being silent, he hung up the phone.
