"Old Zhong, it's me. I have to make this call in an emergency. I want to fly to Jinling immediately. Can you think of a way to ask the Air Force to approve a route for me now?"
After the call was connected, Yao Yuan said bluntly.
Zhong Weiguo was in the capital. Like everyone else, he didn't receive any notification. He immediately asked in confusion, "Jinling? Now? Aren't you leaving only after tomorrow? And it's not Jinling, it's the capital. Your special flight route has been approved."
"
"Sorry, I can't go to Beijing for the time being. Our technical team has analyzed the weather conditions in East China and believes that floods are very likely to occur in this area. I have mobilized all my companies to prepare for disaster relief and activated a first-level response plan.
The first batch of personnel, equipment and disaster relief materials are already being assembled, and our companies in East China have also taken quick action. I must go to the front line to take command immediately." Yao Yuan quickly explained the situation.
Zhong Weiguo suddenly became serious, "Will there be floods in East China?"
He heard the seriousness of the situation from Yao Yuan's tone, and he knew that Yao Yuan was working hard to build the Baojun Automobile production base. Mobilizing so many manpower and material resources would undoubtedly seriously affect the construction progress of the Baojun Automobile production base. Under this situation, Yao Yuan still
A first-level response has been initiated, which has already explained the problem.
Yao Yuan introduced him to the Dongfeng Group's first-level response plan because there were many collaborations that needed his help.
Zhong Weiguo immediately said, "Wait a moment."
After saying that, he hung up the phone, and then immediately called the relevant professional departments of the army to find out the situation, especially the Air Force. The Air Force not only manages the country's airspace, but also has good weather detection and forecasting due to its combat methods.
It is more accurate than that of the local meteorological department.
After doing some research, Zhong Weiguo discovered that there had been heavy rains in East China for days and there was a possibility of floods. In fact, the garrison in East China had been ordered to enter a standby state and could rush into the disaster area to carry out disaster relief at the first order.
Unlike earthquakes, there are signs to follow before a flood occurs.
Zhong Weiguo did not think that Yao Yuan was making a fuss out of a molehill. If he waited until the outbreak broke out before mobilizing, it would be too late. He applauded Yao Yuan's immediate decision to mobilize enterprises for a first-level response. This is the thinking of a soldier.
He immediately contacted the Air Force to coordinate the route, and called Yao Yuan back, "Xiao Yao, I originally planned to wait until you arrived in the capital to tell you. He was named the National Outstanding Youth. This time I asked you to come here mainly to participate in the commendation meeting. Now
It seems the matter is in doubt."
Yao Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not an outstanding young man. Besides, I'm in such a hurry right now. How can I have the time to worry about these things? What about the route? Can you come down?"
"No problem. South China air traffic control should have been notified. You will be able to take off soon. Where are you?" Zhong Weiguo asked.
Yao Yuan said, "On the way to the airport."
"Your movements are faster than those in the army." Zhong Weiguo said in admiration.
Yao Yuan said, "Old Zhong, my Boeing 747 will be used to transport disaster relief personnel and supplies. Our people and supplies in the Pearl River Delta region are also gathering at the provincial capital airport. You also need your help in coordinating the route of this plane.
The sooner the better.”
"No problem, it's my duty to keep in touch. I'm going to report to the chief now," Zhong Weiguo said.
After hanging up the phone, Yao Yuan called Lin Shuting again. Lin Shuting was naturally worried when she found out.
Yao Yuan said, "My family will definitely be anxious if they know this. Please explain to them that when this matter is over, we can go to the capital to have a good time for a few days."
"I know, I know, you, you must be careful, don't show off, I don't know you, you usually look very steady, but when something happens, you are still very impulsive." Lin Shuting warned.
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "I am a commander. I have to direct disaster relief. I will not be on the front line. Don't worry. It's also raining in Nangang. It looks like the rain will not let up. Try not to go out and stay at home.
Stay."
"Know."
After hanging up the phone with my fiancée, I called my mother again and explained it again. My mother didn’t stop until I reached the airport.
More than a hundred people from the frontline headquarters boarded the plane one after another, and all the equipment and supplies they carried were loaded. Before taking off, Yao Yuan had been making calls to communicate with all parties.
Vice Governor Zhang's call was the last one to come.
He said straight to the point, "Xiao Yao, the province has held a meeting and unanimously agreed that the construction of the Baojun Automobile production base can be postponed. Now disaster relief is the first priority. Here, I represent the province to express my position. We will actively cooperate with the national ministries and commissions
, contact the East China region and provide support to the best of our ability. At the same time, we will do our best to ensure the disaster relief operations of Nanfang Industrial. I will be in charge of the provincial government."
"Thank you to the provincial government. I feel more at ease with your words. Governor Zhang, the most urgent thing now is transportation capacity. I hope the province will actively contact the railway department and ask them to arrange transportation capacity for us as much as possible. All of our services in the Pearl River Delta
Factories have shifted into wartime mode, and all inventories and products are used for disaster relief." Yao Yuan said in a deep voice.
Vice Governor Zhang said, "This work is already being done. Xiao Yao, no one knows the situation ahead. First, you must pay attention to safety. Second, you and I should keep in touch. After the front-line command headquarters is established,
We will contact the post and telecommunications department to open a special line, and the entire Guangdong Province will be your strong backing."
"Thank you! The plane is about to take off, please contact me after landing." Yao Yuan hung up the phone.
With the province's statement, Yao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
His biggest concern has always been transportation. In the early 1990s, whether it was railway transportation or road transportation, transportation capacity was very short, and it was raining heavily. He was not sure whether he could reach the designated location within the time required by the plan.
of.
If the province comes forward to coordinate, the situation will improve a lot.
At least that's what Yao Yuan thought.
At 6 o'clock in the morning, Yao Yuan's new special plane Airbus-320 roared up from the ground and took off in the heavy rain. If the pilot and co-pilot were not retired bomber pilots from the Air Force, it would be impossible to take off in the heavy rain.
Nangang Airport does not have the conditions for a Boeing-747 to take off and land, otherwise Yao Yuan would directly set off with an advance team and more rescue supplies. The Boeing-747 is a four-engine heavy-duty passenger aircraft that can carry 300 people, while the Airbus-320 can only
It can carry more than 120 people.
The closest airport to He County in East China that can take off and land the Airbus-320 is Jinling Airport, which is about 55 kilometers away. This is the closest distance.
Yao Yuan only remembered that one of the counties and cities that was most severely affected was He County. He had an impression of this place name precisely because of its name. It was on the west bank of the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River turned north in the Wuhu area and went straight to the north, reaching Jinling.
Then it turns east again, and then flows all the way through the Yangtze River Delta region to the East China Sea.
He County is located in the river section from Wuhu to Jinling, and the county seat is only 2 kilometers from the shore.
There is a reason why Yao Yuan ordered the personnel, vehicles and materials of Dongfeng Logistics East China District to assemble in Ma'anshan City, which is just across the river from He County.
After a two-hour flight, the Airbus-320 landed at Jinling Airport in heavy rain...
