Chapter 477 Created a Miracle
Lin Anan saw that the wrinkles at the corners of the old leader's eyes were covered with dust, but tears were flashing in his eyes - this man who had never shed tears on the battlefield now had tears in his eyes for the survival of the people of Tang City.
All night long, the phone in the operations room rang again and again, all with emergency reports from the Tang City Earthquake Relief Command.
"Report to the commander, thanks to the early deployment, the danger of the Douhe Reservoir has been controlled! Two hundred and thirty miners have been rescued from the Jinxu Coal Mine!"
"The collapse rate of houses in the urban area is as high as more than 70 percent. Rescue work has begun."
"The shelter has been activated."
"......"
Great! The people are saved!
In the dim light of dawn, dozens of transport planes flew over Kyoto, with the life capsules hanging under their bellies like strings of silver bells.
After the situation in Tang City was temporarily under control, the leader asked everyone to disperse. "Thank you for your hard work tonight. Go back and have a rest."
"yes!"
Lin Anan let out the breath that had been pent up in her heart.
But once she relaxed, she couldn't control herself and suddenly sat down on the chair, crying hard.
When Commander Zheng saw her black face and crying like a cat, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The other leaders also looked over. Her appearance was quite funny and instantly adjusted the atmosphere in the venue. Everyone smiled at each other and felt relieved.
A city was destroyed and subsequent rescue work was urgent.
The morning light was reflected on the broken glass of the operations room. Lin Anan looked at the gradually brightening sky outside the window and suddenly felt very powerful.
You all are so awesome.
Chu Mingzhou is the most powerful!
At this moment, the morning sun in Kyoto carries a strong red color, stretching the shadow of the Monument to the People's Heroes very long, and the cracks on the monument look like wounds on the earth under the light.
When light and shadow intersect with cracks, it is like flesh and blood being reborn. It is their courage that creates miracles...
After a night of anxiety, Lin Anan started coughing again.
After returning to the hotel, I didn't even have time to wash up. I fell asleep as if I was exhausted. I was woken up by coughing frequently, and my chest felt like it was on fire.
After being woken up by coughing for who knows how many times, Lin Anan propped herself up and got up.
I called the restaurant and asked them to send up some porridge. My stomach was so empty, I needed something hot to fill it up, otherwise I couldn't even take my medicine.
By the way, I asked the front desk for newspapers and a tape recorder.
"Hello, comrade, this is the porridge you ordered.
"Here are the newspapers and the tape recorder you requested. I'll tune them up for you."
The waiter placed the porridge on the table, politely adjusted the tape recorder for her, and then left.
Kyoto is different from the Northwest. The signal is good and there are many channels that can be received. You can tune into any news channel and receive very detailed reports on Tang City.
Lin Anan was very worried and wanted to know what the situation was.
Although the central government intervened in advance, the earthquake was a major one and the losses were inevitable.
"The Tangshi earthquake was an extremely severe natural disaster, which brought huge casualties and property losses to the local area and surrounding areas. The following is a detailed report on the losses:
About 50,000 people were killed in the earthquake, more than 10,000 were seriously injured, many families were torn apart by the disaster, and the survivors also suffered both physical and psychological trauma.
The earthquake occurred in the early morning. Fortunately, the country sounded the red alert in time and allowed people to evacuate in advance, which greatly reduced the casualties. However, many families were still broken in an instant, and many people lost their loved ones. The social rescue and subsequent resettlement tasks were extremely arduous.
More than 70% of Tang City’s civilian buildings (such as residences, office buildings, schools, hospitals, etc.) collapsed or were severely damaged. The city was almost razed to the ground, and the once prosperous industrial city was instantly reduced to ruins.
Industrial plants, mining facilities, etc. suffered devastating damage. As an important industrial base, Tang City's steel, coal, machinery and other industries came to a standstill, which had a huge impact on industrial production across the country.
Railways, roads and bridges were broken or collapsed, important transportation arteries such as the Beijing-Shanhai Railway and Highway were interrupted, and it was difficult for outside rescue supplies and personnel to reach the disaster area quickly.
The city's communications were repaired promptly by the North China Military Region, and the system was not completely destroyed. Contact with the outside world was temporarily normal, which greatly facilitated subsequent rescue missions.
The central government has quickly deployed, and the military region, medical teams, engineering rescue teams, etc. have intervened to provide emergency assistance. Hundreds of thousands of rescue workers will be involved in search and rescue, medical treatment, emergency repairs, etc...."
Lin Anan listened very carefully, without stopping to use the spoon. She didn't even taste anything until she finished the bowl of porridge.
At this moment, her mood was very complicated, with gratitude, emotion, compassion, and regret...
The losses caused by the Tangshi earthquake were multi-dimensional and historic. It was not only a natural disaster, but also an important turning point in the history of earthquake relief and urban construction in China.
Urban losses are inevitable, but casualties have been greatly reduced, which is of great benefit to subsequent reconstruction. It is only a matter of time before Tang City rises again from the ruins.
The lessons and memories brought by this disaster will serve as a wake-up call for China, reminding people to pay attention to disaster prevention and mitigation and improve urban safety and resilience.
After listening to the news, Lin Anan opened the newspaper and read it again.
The newspaper headlines section has been occupied, but it has not been discussed in much detail. I guess tomorrow's newspaper will really get to the point.
Looking down at her messy body, Lin Anan took her medicine, grabbed some clean clothes and went to wash up.
The military uniform he was wearing could no longer be worn. Not only was it dirty, but he also didn’t know when it had been damaged. There was a big hole on the back with a large piece of fabric missing. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
The situation is critical now, she needs to stay alert at all times.
She also had to stay with Commander Zheng, see what instructions he had, and stand guard for the Northwest Military Region's last shift in Kyoto.
After washing and packing up, Lin Anan breathed a sigh of relief, tidied up his military appearance, and prepared to report to Commander Zheng to see how to arrange the follow-up.
He came to Commander Zheng's door and knocked lightly.
The old guard opened the door.
"Translator Lin." The old guard gestured for silence and walked out of the room. "The commander just went to bed three hours ago. It's inconvenient to disturb him."
Lin Anan nodded.
"Captain Chu will take a flight tomorrow morning. As the main commander of this Rock Exercise, he has to come to Kyoto to report the details. This time... he is the first to make the contribution!"
When Lin Anan heard that Chu Mingzhou had returned, her heart started beating fast.
"Our Northwest Military Region has also begun to collect disaster relief supplies. When one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid. This earthquake is a serious matter, and our Northwest Military Region is at the center of the incident."
The old guard's meaning was very clear. Since the Northwest Military Region had risked taking on such a huge undertaking, they could not be careless in the follow-up and everything had to be done well.
He had made some deliberate suggestions, so Lin Anan naturally listened to them all.
"The chief will have to go to Tang City with the organization leaders to express condolences. You should rest well and be ready at all times."
"yes!"
Lin Anan was in a bad condition and coughed several times as he walked back.
The old guard frowned slightly, closed the door gently, and went downstairs alone.
After a while, someone knocked on Lin Anan's door. It was a doctor.
"Hello, Interpreter Lin. I was ordered by the chief to come and take a look at it for you."
"Okay, come in."
