After the "Report on the Wangpu Village Incident" was sent to the Senate, it aroused a wave of questioning on the Civil Affairs People's Committee. Liu Muzhou's face turned red and white when he was asked in the Senate, and he almost lost his ability to speak.
He tried his best to stay calm and was answering Shan Liang's question:
"According to the report, a key factor in the total destruction of the task force was the failure to warn in time. If the warning had been made in time, they should have been able to save them, right?"
"Yes, theoretically...that's true."
Shan Liang said: "According to the map, Wangpu Village is only a dozen miles away from Danzhou City. So in reality it must be the same. In other words, if the work team can be equipped with suitable communication equipment, they can give a timely warning.
"
"correct."
"So why not ration them?"
"Our radio equipment belongs to the first-level control materials, and small dispatched teams are not equipped with conditions." Liu Muzhou said, "However, we still allocated a considerable amount to the Danzhou task force itself." He reported on the allocation.
The model and quantity of radio stations and walkie-talkies given to the Danzhou work team.
"Do you think it's enough?"
"If this amount of equipment is to be supplied to more than ten work teams at the same time, it will not be enough for camps scattered in various places."
"...So, you knew that the communication equipment distributed to the Danzhou work team was insufficient, but you still let the Danzhou work team set off?"
Liu Muzhou protested: "I object to your suggestive question! How much equipment can be used is not something that the Civil Affairs People's Committee can unilaterally decide!"
"Okay. I take back the question." Shan Liang said, "So, is it possible for your department to use some alternative means? For example, asking for help from rockets, homing pigeons and other primitive but reliable means?"
"These all involve local factors and technical conditions. For example, when using homing pigeons, pigeon nests must be built locally. To train the pigeons' sense of return to Danzhou, otherwise it will be useless to give the pigeons to the work team - the pigeons will only go to Lingao.
Flying and training pigeons to adapt to a new home is not something that happens in a day or two. Nick can prove this.”
…
Liu Muzhou finally escaped from the fierce fire at the hearing. He secretly cursed Liu Yixiao for screwing up the matter and bringing him into it.
"It would be better for you to hide in Danzhou and let me take the blame for you." He cursed secretly.
At this time Merlin asked to speak.
"Permission to speak!"
Merlin walked to the speaking table:
"Fellow elders! This Zhaopu Village incident may seem accidental, but in fact it can be said to be inevitable. This is a profound lesson..."
"Please get to the point as soon as possible!" Ma Jia, who was presiding over this long meeting and became sleepy, said impatiently.
"I think it was the carelessness of the leadership of the Danzhou work team that caused this vicious incident in the first place. From the time after the capture of the county to the dispatch of the work team, I did not have a detailed understanding of the various situations in the county, nor did I
The local intelligence network was established in a timely manner. If the bandits' scope of activities, number of people, and combat capabilities are known in advance, the task force can be configured in a targeted manner, which will at least make these thirty-odd people sufficiently vigilant and capable.
Flexibility in crisis. You can also prepare for a rainy day in terms of equipment.
"Secondly, the communication equipment is insufficient. The task force did not consider equipping some simple emergency communication means without a sufficient number of radio equipment. It actually used human power to transmit the message. This can not but be said to be a huge mistake! It is simply unacceptable.
Tolerance - Our work teams are not large in number now. Even if the radio communication equipment brought from this time and space cannot be sent to them, some low-tech means such as carrier pigeons, chimneys, and signal bombs should be equipped with conditions.
, logically we should go directly to the ore transceiver - when we discussed radio equipment last time, someone always said, 'This is not good, that is not good', I say it is best to use it first! Then we can slowly develop and replace it later...
…”
"Please don't go off topic."
"So on the surface, it seems that the total destruction of the work team was caused by the cunning and cruelty of the bandits, but in fact it was our own fault, especially a few leaders who should bear the primary responsibility, and they should make a profound self-examination! And
The Senate will issue corresponding punishments through referendum to serve as a warning to others! Another point: in a sense, the total annihilation of this small team is not a bad thing. This is a loss that we must bear in the process of conquering the world.
It only cost more than 30 people to expose the faults of our command and awaken our understanding. This is very worthwhile - the premise is that we must learn lessons! I'm done."
Then Yi Fan, the leader of the Cheka, talked about "being wary of adventurist tendencies in local work" and believed that the Danzhou work team led by Liu Yichu's multi-point investment and multi-faceted approach was "adventurism".
"Everyone, we used to do things step by step in Lingao. We first controlled the surrounding areas of the county, then suppressed the bandits, wooed the gentry, and finally started to suppress the bandits. Now the Danzhou work team is casting a net in one step, and itself
Without complete preparations, it is not surprising that such a vicious incident would occur."
Yifan continued:
"There are still many lessons learned this time. We have not done enough in terms of details. I propose to revise the "Work Manual" of the task force. The standard procedures need to be re-formulated based on the experience this time. Especially for food safety.
***Edible fruits and vegetables - Distribute animal and plant manuals so that indigenous personnel can distinguish between poisonous and edible plants. At the same time, the villages that are stationed need to be scored and assessed for safety levels. The more dangerous the villages, the more dangerous they will be and priority will be given to high-level liaisons.
Tools, such as homing pigeons, signal bombs and even walkie-talkies. Then as a whole, we still need to consider breaking the original village pattern, merging villages and villages, and gradually mobilizing local people."
"This incident shows that just using work teams and ignoring armed struggle is not enough." Wei Aiwen continued to talk, "We underestimated the security war. In view of the fact that our ruling district will become larger and larger in the future, we will establish a specialized research institution
Research on this is imperative.”
…
The Senate finally concluded: Thirty-five people died at one time, and the loss was still at the hands of the bandits. This was simply an unprecedented fiasco! They unanimously agreed that this matter must be dealt with seriously and investigated to the end!
Subsequently, Qian Shuiting and others proposed the establishment of a Wangpu Village Incident Investigation Committee, and the committee sent personnel to Danzhou to conduct a comprehensive and thorough investigation of the entire incident. While collecting experience and summarizing lessons, the committee also investigated the Danzhou work corps and the garrison.
Whether he is directly responsible for this incident due to accidental dereliction of duty and violation of regulations.
The Standing Committee of the Senate passed this resolution and elected a committee.
Qian Shuiting, director of the committee, believed that since the report mentioned that there were signs of poisoning in the team, professionals should be dispatched. Finally, Fa Shilu, a botanical expert from the Committee of Agriculture, was appointed as the investigating commissioner, and Ji Xin from the arbitration tribunal was appointed as the deputy commissioner.
Lan Yangyang serves as a forensic doctor - although he repeatedly claims that he is just a gastroenterologist.
The investigation team was issued a *** investigation certificate by the arbitration tribunal. With this certificate, the Danzhou authorities must fully cooperate with his work without any obstruction or shirk: the investigation team has the right to inspect and seize any physical evidence, and to talk to anyone alone.
The report information he compiled was also confidential and was only submitted to the committee for review and discussion.
The investigation team first took a navy supply ship to Danzhou. After receiving a brief welcome from Liu Yixiao at the dock, they transferred to an ox cart and headed to Danzhou City.
"All the physical evidence and the corpses left for autopsy are in Danzhou City." Liu Yixiao said, "There is no cold storage here, and the corpses can only be stored in the basement, where they rot very quickly. If you don't come back, they will have to be cremated."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can see the contents of the stomach." Lan Yangyang said and studied his notebook - these were the notes he took after studying "Forensic Medicine" for a few days.
After arriving in Danzhou, the investigation team immediately became busy. Lan Yangyang immediately performed an autopsy and extracted the contents from the stomach.
He handed the glass jar filled with gray goo to Fa Shilu and took off the mask with relief:
"Okay! My business is done, now it's up to you."
Fa Shilu frowned - he smelled a disgusting rancid smell. He took out a portable microscope, put on a mask, and started to get busy.
The autopsy and examination of the food residue in the stomach proved that the team was indeed poisoned by a plant. After studying the residue, Fa Shilu gave the exact answer:
"It's Gelsemium elegans." He said briefly, "commonly known as gallbladder. This thing is too poisonous. Three or four leaves can kill a person! It's simply more powerful than eating arsenic - and it can still be boiled.
It attacks faster. If you don't treat it, you will die within eight hours." He used tweezers to take out some gray things, "I also added bitter melon to cover up the smell, and a lot of green leafy vegetables to cover up the leaves. These bandits really have some ideas!"
"This group of people must be cut into pieces!" Liu Yixiao said through gritted teeth.
"Vegetables must be obtained locally. It is really difficult to prevent the enemy from attacking." Yu Zhiqian said, "I have to quickly notify all the dispatched teams to temporarily stop letting local people purchase vegetables on their behalf. They must go to the fields to pick them in person. In addition, it is forbidden to
Picking wild vegetables and fruits.”
Liu Yixiao asked: "Is there any simple treatment method? Organize the health workers to learn so that they can save themselves if they eat poisonous substances again in the future."
"Traditional Chinese medicine says that giving poisoned people a decoction of licorice, mung beans, and honeysuckle can detoxify them. But I think the detoxification decoction needs to be lavaged first to be effective." Lan Yangyang said, "at least induce vomiting. This poisonous plant
As long as we can induce vomiting as soon as possible, we can increase the rescue time a lot."
"These three things are not difficult. I will prepare one for the work team in the future!" Liu Yixiao became very active, "There is just no emetic - I hope the Ministry of Health can solve it."
