Fan Hongyu did not live in the county, but lived directly in Luhua Town.
Luhua Town is the gateway to the county town, shielding the hundreds of thousands of people in Luhua Town, Yunhu Town. If Luhua Town is lost, floods can rush to the county town in an instant. Of course, the terrain of the county town is slightly higher than that of Luhua Town, but not too high.
Ordinary floods don't matter, but when a severe flood hits, the county is very unsafe.
Wei Qingping, deputy commander of the County Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters, also lives in Luhua Town with Fan Hongyu.
In addition, Wei Qingping also detached a company of about 120 people from the basic militia camp of Yunhu Town, all strong young men, and brought them to Luhua Town.
This is the "Guards" under the personal control of Fan Hongyu and Wei Qingping. At critical moments, this militia company is expected to play a role. Fan Hongyu can't trust Zhou Ziqi and Lu Minfeng. Maybe their work ability is not bad, but their work attitude
If you are not upright, it will be difficult to trust.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, with heavy rain falling across Qingshan Province. The flood peak in the upper reaches of the river has not yet reached, and the flow of several tributaries has increased significantly. The water level of Qingshan Lake has surged, exceeding the first warning level.
In the guest room of a Yujiale Hotel in Luhua Town, the lights were still on late at night, and Fan Hongyu was writing fast at his desk.
Tan Qihua asked him to sort out the ideas and opinions of Yunhu's invitation to the Hong Kong expert team to investigate and investigate as soon as possible. Fan Hongyu had already agreed in person, so he could not delay and neglect.
A man is a true man and his promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
Regardless of whether the person making the promise is the municipal party committee secretary or not, Fan Hongyu's attitude will be the same.
Never take your work lightly.
In the evening of the next day, Fan Hongyu's tall figure appeared on the flood control levee in the Xichong Management Area. Heavy rain poured down. Hundreds of people wearing raincoats gathered densely on one side of the flood control levee. The main militiamen of Yunhu Town
The main force was about forty cadre militiamen from the second platoon of the first company of the battalion, and the rest were cadres, employees and cadre militiamen from Luhua Town and Xichong Management Area. Zhou Ziqi and Director Liang of the Party and Government Office were both there.
In addition to hundreds of commandos who are always ready to fight floods and rescue operations, there are also two excavators, a large bulldozer, and several small vehicles parked near the embankment.
Fan Hongyu did not take the No. 2 car this time, but switched to an old-fashioned jeep with a high chassis and strong power.
In heavy rain and poor road conditions, this old-fashioned four-wheel drive jeep is still reliable.
Wei Qingping was in charge of Luhua Town, while Lu Minfeng went to Jiangqiao Management Area.
According to the latest flood information in the river basin released by the National Flood Control Bureau, the first wave of flood peaks is about to arrive in Qingshan Lake District. Fan Hongyu asked Wei Qingping and also consulted the compilation of data on flood control and disaster relief over the years. Wei Qingping told the county magistrate that when the big flood peaks arrive,
It is normal for the water level of Qingshan Lake to surge by six to seven meters overnight.
The Qingshan Lake in front of us has long lost the tranquility and beauty of the past. The turbid waves are rolling and fierce. Rows of giant waves hit the flood control embankment one after another, splashing countless yellow and white water splashes that seem to never stop.
Although Zhou Ziqi was vague in his report, Fan Hongyu had a clear idea in his mind that the so-called renovation and reinforcement of this section of the flood control embankment in the Xiyong Management Area was really unreliable. Time was tight, so Zhou Ziqi had people pack rocks and sand in sacks.
Those big holes have been filled in. Even if all the big holes have been blocked, I am not 100% sure.
Such measures cannot make people feel reassured in any case.
Fan Hongyu stood on the embankment, braved the howling wind, and loudly conducted a brief pre-war mobilization for hundreds of cadres and militiamen gathered under the embankment. Then the team dispersed and began operations.
Excavators and bulldozers rumbled, and hundreds of people were divided into dozens of groups. They methodically packed rocks and soil into sacks and woven bags, tied the mouths of the bags with wires, and stacked them together to form a row of earth walls.
.Once the embankment is in danger, pick up the sack and rush up, which can save a lot of time.
Fan Hongyu rolled up his sleeves and joined one of the groups, wielding a shovel and loading soil into sacks.
Seeing this, Zhou Ziqi also joined in and "joined the team" with the county magistrate.
Secretary Zhou was only in his thirties and was in his prime, but his physical condition was really not comparable to that of Fan Hongyu. However, after a few minutes, he was panting and sweating profusely. Seeing that Fan Hongyu was working harder and harder, Zhou Ziqi
It was not easy to stop, so I had to grit my teeth and carry on for dear life.
Zhou Ziqi wiped his sweat and cursed secretly.
What kind of weird county magistrate is this?
Such a torment!
However, Secretary Zhou complained endlessly. When the other cadres and militiamen saw that the county magistrate was personally taking part in the battle, they became extremely motivated. Several groups even shouted at each other and competed.
It was getting dark, and the lights around the construction site came on one after another.
Director Liang was responsible for supervising logistics supplies before and after running, and personally served tea and water to County Magistrate Fan and Secretary Zhou.
Seeing that Zhou Ziqi was wiping his sweat more and more frequently, Fan Hongyu said with a smile: "Secretary Zhou, take a rest. You can't show off in this physical job."
"Oh, County Magistrate Fan is so full of energy. It's good to be young... We are all old..."
Zhou Ziqi felt a little ashamed, so he took a few sips of the tea handed over by Director Liang, wiped his mouth, and flattered Fan Hongyu, or in other words, "sneered" at Fan Hongyu.
You little kid, you are so lucky, you became the county magistrate in your twenties!
I don’t know what kind of smoke is coming from your ancestral grave.
Director Liang couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This is the first time she has seen Secretary Zhou "serve the old". You must know that Zhou Ziqi is very young among all the district and town party committee secretaries in the county. He is a cadre under the age of 40 who has real power and is the most senior cadre in the county.
It’s such a small batch that you can count them on your fingers.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, with the wind and rain, rows of huge rocks suddenly appeared on the surface of Qingshan Lake, and the water level rose rapidly at a speed far exceeding normal.
"County Magistrate Fan, the first wave of floods has arrived."
Looking at the roaring giant on the dark lake, Zhou Ziqi stood next to Fan Hongyu and said loudly, his tone was quite calm. He was a native of Yunhu and had seen a lot of floods. Looking at this posture, it is not a big problem. It was worse than this in previous years.
He has also seen the powerful Hong Feng.
"How about it?"
Fan Hongyu turned around and asked.
"It's no big problem, I can handle it!"
Zhou Ziqi replied firmly.
Fan Hongyu nodded, feeling slightly relieved.
In any case, Zhou Ziqi's experience is still reliable. He would not say such a thing without being more than 70 or 80% sure. Even so, Fan Hongyu still ordered the commando team to be on standby, and everyone was ready to rescue at any time.
At about nine o'clock, two bright beams of light came directly, and a car was coming.
It was a tall off-road vehicle that stopped on the side of the embankment. Zhou Ziqi, with sharp eyes, shouted in surprise: "It's Secretary Lu who is here."
This off-road vehicle is Lu Jiu's "backup car". When going to remote areas with inconvenient road traffic or in such bad weather with wind and rain, Lu Jiu will switch to an off-road vehicle.
Fan Hongyu quickly got down from the embankment, stepped on the mud, and headed towards the off-road vehicle.
The person who stepped off the off-road vehicle was indeed Lu Jiu, and the correspondent held up an umbrella for him. Secretary Lu was still wearing a white shirt and black trousers, but he changed into a pair of high rain boots, which made him look a bit nondescript.
"secretary!"
Fan Hongyu stepped forward and shook hands with Lu Jiu.
"County Magistrate, thank you for your hard work. I guess the peak of the flood has arrived. I'm a little worried. Come and take a look."
Lu Jiu said with a smile, he knew the identity of the leader very well.
"Secretary Lu, please rest assured, we will definitely be able to withstand it."
Before Fan Hongyu could speak, Zhou Ziqi immediately stepped aside and said.
Lu Jiu glanced at him, the smile on his face faded, and said seriously: "Zhou Ziqi, you can't take it lightly. Your place is the top priority for flood control in the county. If something goes wrong here, the county will not be able to save it. If that really happens.
I can't forgive you!"
"Secretary, don't worry, I guarantee with my head that I can withstand it, no problem!"
Zhou Ziqi puffed up his chest and answered loudly.
Secretary Zhou didn't seem to take his own head seriously, and would use it as a guarantee at every turn. If his head were to be cut off, I'm afraid Secretary Zhou wouldn't agree to anything.
"Don't be careless. Moreover, Zhou Ziqi, you must remember that the safety of County Magistrate Fan comes first at all times."
Lu Jiu warned very seriously.
Zhou Ziqi puffed up his chest again and said, "Yes, Secretary, I remember. No matter how critical the situation is, we will protect County Magistrate Fan's safety."
Fan Hongyu said with a smile: "Thank you Secretary for your concern. It doesn't matter to me. Secretary Zhou is so sure that we can withstand the flood, so I feel relieved."
After everyone said a few words, they surrounded Lu Jiu and walked onto the embankment. Lu Jiu shook hands with the commandos cordially, encouraged them, patrolled the embankment for a while, and left with satisfaction after receiving Zhou Ziqi's assurance again.
Before leaving, Lu Jiu asked Fan Hongyu to return to the county with him, saying that everything here should be left to Zhou Ziqi.
This is also the intended meaning of the title.
Fan Hongyu smiled and declined Secretary Lu's kindness, insisting on staying on the embankment. For Fan Hongyu, this was the first time to face the flood peak of the Great Lakes and work in the lake area. This experience is extremely valuable and cannot be missed.
As Zhou Ziqi said, the first wave of floods passed safely. But Fan Hongyu was not relieved, but even more worried. Because at the peak of the first wave of floods, the water level of the Great Lakes had exceeded the second warning level, approaching the last line of defense.
If this trend continues, if the second and third wave peaks are even greater, the situation will really not be optimistic.
In the early morning, a lot of piping occurred in some sections of the Xichong Embankment. Although they were not serious, they were widely distributed. This proved that there was indeed something wrong with the entire section of the embankment.
When a larger flood peak hits, these seemingly inconspicuous piping surges may be the biggest cause of embankment collapse.
A thousand-mile embankment collapsed in an ant nest!
The situation is getting more and more serious.
PS: On the last day, I’m asking everyone for some monthly votes. If you don’t vote, it will be wasted, dear! (Shivering, chills, and goosebumps)
In addition, tomorrow is the first day of August, and there will be an update in the early morning. I plan to pay off some debts and book some guaranteed monthly passes from everyone. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
