Chapter 476 Saved
When she returned to the state banquet hall, people from the Northwest Military Region had been waiting for a long time.
In fact, everyone was very confused. They had just finished their meal happily, so why did it feel like something big was going to happen?
Lin Anan’s mind is now filled with the topographic map that Chu Mingzhou drew at that time. Those refuge points marked in pencil are the people’s lifeline!
She had to recall everything and help as much as she could. If she really couldn't help...she would donate money to raise supplies...
"An An, why do you look so unhappy? What happened?" Li Ran asked with concern.
Lin Anan sat limply on the stool, "There are problems with the North China earthquake. Something big is going to happen."
"ah?"
Lin Anan took a breath, immediately perked up, and shook her head at everyone, "Don't worry, let's go back to the hotel and rest first, the leader will decide everything."
"Okay, let's go back first. We can't cause trouble for the leader."
"For something as big as an earthquake... we really don't understand it."
The old guard has returned to Commander Zheng in place of Lin Anan.
The subsequent major events will depend on the arrangements of these leaders.
Lin Anan and others returned to the hotel.
Calculating the time, she called Chu Mingzhou's group.
"Hello." Chu Mingzhou's heavy voice came over the phone.
"Mingzhou, it's me! The top leaders in Kyoto have noticed the geological trends in North China. Commander Zheng has already participated in it. The others..."
Lin Anan speaks very quickly and keeps things short.
But Chu Mingzhou could hear her anxiety, "An An, I know all this. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
There was a hint of fatigue in his voice, yet it made people feel strangely at ease.
"Seventeen of the twenty-three monitoring points around the military exercise have exceeded historical extremes in stress values."
"Mingzhou, I heard the leaders mentioned the Jinxu Coal Mine and Yuanhe Reservoir. Will they be okay?"
Lin Anan's words were interrupted by the alarm sounding on the other end of the phone.
"An An, remember what I told you, and find a safe place to stay. I'll take care of everything here, don't worry."
"Okay, then go and get busy. I'm fine here."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Anan's forehead was covered with sweat.
In the next few days, the situation in Kyoto's upper echelons changed and the overall situation was quite tense.
The foreign guests were sent back one by one.
Leaders from all over China who came to attend the meeting also went back early.
As the head of the Northwest Military Region, Commander Zheng naturally could not leave, but the rest of the people who followed him from the Northwest also went back.
In the end, only Lin Anan and the old guard were left following Commander Zheng.
The old guard was responsible for Commander Zheng’s food, daily life and security, while Lin Anan acted as a civilian assistant.
At first I was worried that she wouldn't do a good job as an assistant, but I didn't expect her to handle things in a relaxed and orderly manner.
It was not until the evening of the 27th that the red alert for the Panshi military exercise was sounded.
Chu Mingzhou single-handedly changed the military exercise strategy.
Inside a certain level operations room in Kyoto.
More than a dozen leaders gathered.
Lin Anan still stood quietly behind Commander Zheng.
Listening to the emergency reports, her eyes became red, and when she looked at the elderly person beside her, she felt indescribable gratitude in her heart.
She knows it better than anyone else!
Chu Mingzhou's actions were a serious violation of regulations, and the Northwest Military Region should bear heavy responsibility.
The first person the organization wanted to investigate was Commander Zheng, the former head of the Northwest Military Region.
He clearly knew nothing about geology, but he trusted Chu Mingzhou so much...
He took all the consequences based solely on suspected problematic data that he didn't quite understand.
"Grandpa Zheng, thank you."
Lin Anan's voice was very low, but Commander Zheng heard it.
He just looked back at Lin Anan and said nothing. His back was straight like an unshakable mountain. He used his old body to hold up the insurmountable sky for the Northwest Military Region for a day!
As time went by, the air in the operations room seemed to freeze.
"According to the geological data currently provided by North China, the fault will reach a critical value tonight, and the military exercise should indeed be terminated."
"Combined with the review results of the Rock Military Exercise, it is sufficient to support a Level 1 response. Please give the order, leader!"
The most capable white-haired leader stood up, buttoned his military uniform meticulously, raised his hand, and pressed the response light with a "click".
"Initiate level one response immediately!"
"yes."
The red warning light in the center of the circular conference table made Lin Anan's eyes sore.
As the clock struck midnight, the telephone rang again in the operations room.
Several emergency calls were received.
Commander Zheng also received a call from Chu Mingzhou. The moment he picked up the phone, Lin Anan saw his knuckles suddenly turn white.
"Anomalies in ground light have appeared in the fault area, and the troops have entered the designated position according to the plan!"
Early morning of the 28th.
The second hand of the quartz clock in the operations room suddenly vibrated violently, and the ceiling light also began to shake violently.
Lin Anan watched helplessly as the map of China on the wall slipped off the nails and the glass frame shattered onto the ground. The location of Tang City on the map was exactly penetrated by the crack.
The teacup in Commander Zheng's hand fell to the ground with a clang.
“Here it comes!”
The communications radio suddenly erupted into a piercing noise, and countless telegrams poured into the operations room like a flood.
Lin Anan rushed to the fallen translator, supported him, and took the headphones:
"The magnitude of the earthquake was as high as 8 on the Richter scale, reaching a level that was completely out of control."
"Jinxu Coal Mine... tunnel collapsed!"
"Cracks appeared in the dam of Yuanhe Reservoir!"
The sky outside the window suddenly lit up with a strange blue light, carrying a breath of destruction.
Lin Anan saw the Monument to the People's Heroes in the distance shaking in the shock waves, and the red star light on the top of the monument flickered, as if it was also mourning for Tang City.
The old guard suddenly grabbed her arm and said, "Translator Lin, hide under the table!"
Under the circular conference table, Lin Anan heard the plaster blocks from the ceiling falling.
Commander Zheng squatted beside her and stretched out his hands to protect her. "Girl, remember the radio call sign. When the shock wave passes, contact Mingzhou immediately!"
"yes."
About two minutes later, the shaking suddenly stopped.
Lin Anan climbed out of the table, stepped on the debris on the ground and rushed to the radio. The noise coming from the earphones was no longer noise, but orderly instructions: "The first regiment is responsible for the Jinxu Coal Mine, and the second regiment will defend the Yuanhe Reservoir! All military medical teams that can be mobilized, please go to the ruins of the central building immediately!"
The background sound was a mixture of the loud noise of breaking steel bars and the cries of the crowd, and every syllable was like a heavy hammer hitting her heart.
This came from North China.
In just two minutes, almost the entire city was destroyed in an instant.
All the surrounding cities were severely affected.
The leaders were all quite frightened, but there was no time for everyone to calm down. They all took action immediately. They needed more accurate information and had to launch a rescue immediately.
"Panshi military exercise commander, Chu Mingzhou, please report the purpose of the red alert to your superiors immediately..."
Commander Zheng grinned and slapped the conference table, "Good! Mingzhou is a good boy!"
Fortunately, fortunately!
