After his second brother's affairs were settled, his best friend Liu Wenbo was about to leave. He had originally thought that the rain would last for a long time, but unexpectedly it only lasted for a few days. However, for Liu Wenbo, who had been looking for news clues, the week he spent in Bashu was more than enough.
After obtaining first-hand clues about flood control and disaster relief, Liu Wenbo said goodbye to Yuan Fangguo in a cafe at the airport.
"Wenbo, when will you come back next time?" Yuan Fangguo asked Liu Wenbo, who looked thin in front of him.
Liu Wenbo thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's the Spring Festival."
"Have you set a time to go to the Burmese store?"
"It's been postponed. I estimate it will take another month, but don't worry, I will definitely go."
"Remember to tell me when you leave, and I will see you off." Yuan Fangguo said.
Liu Wenbo nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will tell you. By the way, Fang Guo, we need some sponsorship for our trip to the Myanmar store this time. I think you can sponsor us."
Yuan Fangguo was a little surprised by Liu Wenbo's words. In his impression, Liu Wenbo was not that kind of person.
Seeing that Yuan Fangguo was a little surprised, Liu Wenbo quickly recalled what he had just said and felt that it was too straightforward.
"Oh, what I mean is that you can sponsor some motorcycles for us. When our program is broadcast, it will naturally have your factory's logo on it." Liu Wenbo quickly explained.
Yuan Fangguo now understood that Liu Wenbo was trying to find ways to advertise his motorcycles, which might help their motorcycle factory enter the Southeast Asian market.
"Okay, these are just small questions. How many do you need?"
"Maybe about twenty cars." Liu Wenbo said after thinking about it.
Twenty motorcycles were not a large number, and in his eyes, they were worthless. Yuan Fangguo agreed without even thinking about it.
After drinking coffee with Liu Wenbo in the airport cafe for more than an hour and seeing his flight land safely at Chengdu Airport from Yangcheng, Liu Wenbo hurriedly ran towards the security checkpoint.
Perhaps it was God's deliberate teasing. Liu Wenbo's flight had just left that day when the sky suddenly changed drastically in the evening. Thick dark clouds covered the sky above the entire city, and the whole city seemed to be under a changed sky.
Flashes of lightning streaked across the sky like a scene from the end of the world, making people throughout the city feel noticeably uneasy.
The Meteorological Bureau has issued a dangerous weather warning in a timely manner. In the next 48 hours, most of the province will experience heavy rainfall, and there may be a risk of mudslides.
The weather forecast of the Meteorological Bureau this time was quite accurate. For a full 48 hours, the entire Bashu Province was under the cover of heavy rainfall. Yuan Fangguo actually listened to the "Voice of China" radio on purpose. He found that not only Bashu Province, but half of China was currently under the control of heavy rainfall.
He had a strong premonition that the rainfall this time would definitely be heavy.
Sure enough, three days later, my second brother's troops received the task of going to Yangdong County under Ziyang City for disaster rescue. Dozens of transport trucks were lined up with their hazard lights on, and thousands of officers and soldiers got into the carport. It was raining heavily outside and drizzling inside.
Before leaving, Yuan Fangtai sent a message to his eldest brother and left in a hurry. He didn't even have time to read his eldest brother's reply before turning off his phone.
Originally, he was thinking of putting his cell phone in the locker in the dormitory, but after thinking about it, he thought that if he was in a disaster area and there was no landline, maybe this cell phone could still play its due role.
After thinking about it, he quickly found some waterproof film, wrapped the phone around and around, and then put it into his army green shoulder bag.
At this point, flood control and rescue tasks have been fully launched.
Although their company, hospital, and supermarket were not greatly affected, the city and district, after learning from the previous experience, mobilized one-third of the employees from their factory to form a militia commando team to carry out rescue and disaster relief work in the surrounding areas.
The remaining two-thirds of the employees were still able to maintain production, but later due to frequent power outages and the high demand for diesel, the production in the factory began to fall into an intermittent state.
Yuan Fangguo simply divided the work among the employees. Except for a small number of female and weak employees who stayed at home to look after the house, the rest of the employees followed him to join the rescue team.
Compared with the following areas, the disaster situation in Chengdu was not that serious. After a day and a half of rescue and recovery, most of the rescue workers were sent to Yangdong County.
The dam in Yangdong County may be in danger of collapse at any time. Once this dam, which was newly built in the early 1960s, collapses, it will affect the safety of nearly one million people in Ziyang City downstream.
Ziyang City is a plain city. It is no exaggeration to say that once the dam collapses, billions of cubic meters of water will roll in on the plains of Ziyang City, swallowing this industrial city off the map.
Entrusted by senior provincial officials, senior official Zhang Guangsheng personally took charge of Yangdong County with his command team. He even set up the command center directly on the shaky dam, which shows his determination and strength.
"Comrades, no matter what, we must ensure that the dam does not collapse." Standing in the wind and rain, Zhang Guangsheng spoke loudly with a loudspeaker.
Experts from the Ministry of Water Resources also provided a reliable solution. The foundation of this dam is very poor. According to the current water flow impact, it can only hold out for two days at most. As for after two days, experts said that there is a risk of dam collapse at any time.
The only way to solve this problem is to divert the traffic.
There is currently a river five kilometers away from the dam. According to calculations, this river can divert about one-fifth of the water flow of the dam.
If we reduce the water flow by one-fifth and then release a portion of the flood water appropriately, as long as it can be done within two days, there will be no problem in keeping Ziyang City safe.
After listening to this, Zhang Guangsheng quickly made arrangements.
The current emergency rescue forces are mainly divided into the following groups. One group is composed of hydropower troops and state-owned enterprises, who are mainly responsible for diverting the water from the dam into the river. Dozens of excavators must dig day and night.
However, during the excavation, the construction workers discovered that less than two meters underground there were large chunks of gravel. This is a very hard stone and it would be difficult to excavate with the capabilities of the excavator.
But even if it is impossible, we have to do it. This is Zhang Guangsheng’s order and instruction.
The second group was responsible for dam reinforcement, and Yuan Fangtai and his troops and local militia were mainly responsible; the third group was local militia, who were mainly responsible for disaster relief for the impact caused to Ziyang City after the flood discharge.
The task was arranged smoothly, but the implementation was quite difficult.
Weather is the biggest obstacle to their progress.
According to the Meteorological Bureau forecast, there will still be heavy rainfall in the next 24 hours.
