The steel rolling mill was also in a meeting. Lao Yang repeatedly insisted on providing the assault boats to the city for disaster relief. Secretary Liu repeatedly objected. The reason was very simple. These assault boats were not the assets of the steel rolling mill, nor the country's assets. Now all foreign exchange is collected. Yes, apart from the right to deliver goods as required, the steel rolling mill does not have the right to handle it privately.
"Lao Yang, I understand your painstaking efforts. You have good intentions, but have you ever thought about it? We have collected and turned over the foreign exchange for these assault boats, and you have given them away. Where did we get them? Pay foreign exchange to others, foreign exchange, this is foreign exchange!”
The atmosphere in the conference room became solemn. When foreign exchange was involved, the leaders who had just supported Lao Yang stopped talking. Everyone agreed on the importance of foreign exchange. Clearly.
“Secretary, the country is in trouble and must be saved. We can continue to earn foreign exchange. If these assault boats are provided to the city, we may be able to save countless lives and national property. After using them, we can continue to work overtime. Production will be supplemented, these are things that will happen later, the key now is to provide disaster relief first!”
Lao Yang’s last few righteous words completely angered Secretary Liu, and Secretary Liu was angry at Lao Yang’s stubbornness today! I am very dissatisfied. This kind of person probably wants to sacrifice the interests of the country and the collective and take advantage of this flood to use these assault boats to gain political capital. This situation is absolutely unacceptable. His face became serious and he slapped the table for the first time. Criticize Lao Yang.
"Lao Yang, you are alarmist. Today's newspaper in the city called on everyone to fight the disaster together. There are many farmland and farms affected by the disaster. Which sentence mentions that the lives of the people are threatened? This It is to respond to the call from above, not to produce. You must obey the leadership of the organization. "
This is the first time in the steel rolling mill that the first and second leaders have direct opinions. Lao Yang can't understand this kind of thing. Secretary Liu would object and would continue to speak without giving up.
"Secretary, I know your worries. I promise to complete these assault boats in the shortest possible time. I believe that our people will not cause the situation you are worried about."
"Lao Yang, there is no need to mention this matter again. You can guarantee the engine matching, then you can also ensure that the chemical plant is completed on time? Don't mention this matter again. Let me announce that our factory has been established in accordance with the requirements of our superiors to fight this disaster. I am the leader of the Disaster Resistance Leading Group, and Lao Yang is the deputy leader..."
According to the division of labor, Lao Yang must stick to the steel rolling mill and take charge of the disaster relief and production organization in the factory. Production must not be affected by floods. Especially several projects that generate foreign exchange.
"Lao Yang, you have a heavy burden. This time, as required, I have to report to the top to coordinate and wait for new instructions at any time. The family depends on you."
Secretary Liu looked at Yang Factory with sincerity. The leader said, "This time one of us is outside and the other is inside. We must work together to overcome the difficulties. Your burden is heavier than mine."
"Secretary, don't worry, the people are here in the factory, we will overcome no matter how big the difficulty is." , we will not stop production."
Secretary Liu looked at Li Huaide, who had just returned a few days ago, "Old Li, you came back at the right time. You will appear wherever you are needed. Very good, you are worthy of being a cadre trained by the organization. This time, the safety of the dilapidated buildings in the family area and the family members will be left to you. We must ensure that our employees have no worries. The more difficult it is, the more it will test our party spirit. Do you have the confidence? "
"Secretary, don't worry, even if I don't sleep, I will stay in the family area to ensure that no one is injured or killed!"
Li Huaide is very excited, this is an excellent I am really lucky to have this opportunity to perform. This time I must be on the front line to let the families and workers feel the care of the organization.
“Okay, very good, I believe you can do it.”
After the secretary made arrangements one by one, he left in the jeep in the rain, and the steel rolling mill began a vigorous campaign to fight disasters and ensure production. .
The rainfall became heavier again on the 8th. After one night, the city inside and outside the capital completely turned into a vast ocean, with water accumulating in most areas of the city.
All the moats are overcrowded and are being urgently reinforced and raised to ensure that water from outside the city will not flow in. The industrial area outside Dongzhimen is a vast ocean. Countless sandbags separate the inside and outside of the factory. Countless people are using various tools to drain water outside the factory.
But this is the first time that the water accumulation in the factory has exceeded 30 centimeters. Although the factory buildings are actively draining water into the factory, some are still forced to stop production. Director Yang has a strict order that if there is a danger of leakage, production must be stopped.
In the conference room of the city government, the latest situation is being reported.
"Yesterday's heavy rain formed a "dragon storm" again. A large number of people in the FS area were trapped and needed rescue. There have been casualties. According to reports, dozens of natural villages near Shidu disappeared, and nearby villages The disaster was also very serious. It is estimated that tens of thousands of people were trapped in the mountains and high places, and they were in danger at any time..."
"In addition, according to the data just reported, a total of 11,016 collapsed houses in urban and suburban areas, dangerous houses 20,913, 305,222 public buildings leaked, and water accumulated in 775 courtyards. "
"The three woolen mills in Qinghe and the Qinghe Vermicelli Factory were the most severely flooded. The city's industrial losses were initially estimated to be 10 million yuan. Above. "
The conference room was very dull and the damage was too great. Although many plans were made, the heavy rain was heavier and lasted longer than expected. As of today, the continuous heavy rain has lasted for five days. , which is unique in the history of Beijing.
The report does not include data on districts and counties in the outer suburbs. As we all know, it will only be more serious than in the city and suburbs. The reason why the data cannot be reported is that most areas have lost contact, roads are interrupted, and even telephone calls cannot be made. , now in some low-lying areas in the suburbs, the water has submerged the telephone poles, which is incredible.
In the director's office of the steel rolling mill, Director Yang, who had just been called back in a hurry, was answering the phone out of breath.
"Lao Yang, we have received notification from above. The disaster in the suburbs is serious now and people are trapped. Our superiors have asked us to provide assault boats. Please make arrangements and someone will come to coordinate in a moment."
During the phone call, Secretary Liu paused and seemed a little hesitant. "We have reported to our superiors that there are currently 3,800 assault boats in the warehouse, and they may requisition all of them."
"Secretary, our inventory should be four thousand sets. This is correct. I checked the delivery ledger."
Secretary Liu laughed dryly on the phone, "Don't worry about it, just Provide them with 3,800 sets, and don’t worry about it.”
A group of large trucks stopped at the entrance of the steel rolling mill. The factory area has been blocked with sandbags, making it impossible for vehicles to pass. Under the command of Lao Yang, the two parties used relays. The transfer and loading of 3,800 assault boats were completed. According to the driver, some of them will be quickly sent to Jinhai and Baoding, where there are more trapped people.
The uninflated inflatable boat does not take up much space at all, and the engine is stored separately. It has to be simply assembled and inflated when it arrives. After several on-site demonstrations at the steel rolling mill, the team couldn't wait to set off.
Looking at the disappearing convoy, Lao Yang was angry with the director of the road. "Tell me, where are the remaining two hundred sets of engines?"
Director Lu has been dealing with Lao Yang for several years, and this is the first time he has been scolded. He is also a little aggrieved. From the warehouse Find a list.
"Leader, look, this is a transfer order. The warehouse will release it only after the secretary signs and agrees."
(Transfer: a method of mutual transfer of materials between state-owned enterprises. )
Lao Yang looked at the transfer order carefully, and it was indeed true. He was holding fire in his heart, but his face was calm and his tone became calm. "Lao Lu, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you. I apologize to you. Let's put these rafts away first. I'll ask Lao Xia if they have any finished engines. Look at these assault boats. Can it be used? ”
In the office, Lao Yang picked up the phone again depressedly. There was no engine at Lao Xia's side. They were all produced according to plan. Where did the wealth come from? This matter must not be hidden, but now is a critical moment for disaster relief, and we cannot mess with it. , he immediately thought of Lao Chen and wanted to hear the opinions of his old partner.
"Old Chen, this is the situation. I wanted to take the initiative to provide assault boats, but he firmly disagreed. This was the reason at the time. Now I know that he secretly transferred 200 sets of engines. You "What kind of thing is this?"
"Lao Yang, I know this. Don't make it public. Let the higher ups handle it after the disaster relief is completed. You handled it very well this time. This is progress, haha." , No one is protecting you, it’s not a bad thing for you, it seems that I have harmed you by caring too much about you.”
The two chatted on the phone for a while, Deputy Chen. The minister put down the phone. He knew much more about the conflict between Lao Yang and Secretary Liu than Lao Yang could react. He had no choice. He came from the steel rolling mill and was always paying attention to his old partner.
"It seems that some things need to be reported to the leader. Old Liu has obviously exceeded his authority this time."
The allocation belongs to the production aspect, although as the top leader of the steel rolling mill, Secretary Liu has no rights The transfer was signed privately, which is a matter of organizational discipline, and the deliberate concealment afterwards shows that there are other problems.
In the steel rolling mill, Lao Yang was very anxious after making the phone call. Just now, the comrades from the security department reported that the water level outside the factory continued to rise, a wall in the factory area collapsed, and the flood outside could not be stopped and leaked into the factory area. The gap is being plugged now.
"How big is the gap? Will other places collapse? Will anyone be hurt? Aren't the walls reinforced with straw bales?"
"Director, they have been reinforced, but the walls are soaked. It has been soft for a few days. We have been checking other walls and found several places that may collapse at any time. Now Director Ma has arranged for people to go to the security department to inspect the factory. I hope everything is okay."
Lao Yang rushed. When we arrived at the gap, we were also stunned. The collapse had spread nearly twenty meters, making it difficult to plug it. We watched the water level in the factory area rise visibly to the naked eye.
"Hurry up and shut down the low-lying factory buildings, and evacuate all workers, quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a wall not far away collapsed again, and Lao Yang gave the order again.
"All factories have shut down and stopped production. Go and strengthen the engine production workshop. We must keep the engine workshop production!"
It is impossible to ensure that production is not delayed as I vowed. Now I must keep the engine workshop. , this is the key to earning foreign exchange, Lao Yang felt sad. It has been a week, a week, but he still can't withstand it.
After all, there are more people than strength, and the water level in the factory area quickly rose to 40 centimeters. However, with the efforts of all the workers in the factory, all the doors and windows of the engine workshop were partitioned. The water level below one meter should be safe. But the water level continues to rise.
"Director, is the factory area still congested?"
"No more congestion. Keep the engine workshop. Where is Deputy Secretary Gu? Let her take people to support the vehicle factory. There are so many of us idle. It’s not a problem to stay alive.”
Now that workers are on holiday, the water level on the streets in the industrial area has reached nearly half a meter. It is impossible to go home and can only wade through the water to the vehicle factory for support.
The situation of the vehicle factory is better. After all, it is a newly built factory area, and the walls and factory buildings have withstood the test of the flood.
"Where's Director Zhang? Find him. Is there any water in the canteen's warehouse? How many days can we store food and vegetables? Let him report it quickly!"
The heavy rain on the 8th completely threw the capital into chaos. One day and one night, Zhu Xuefeng's compound was no longer safe. Except for the main house on the highest ground, all the rooms had flooded. Everything that was afraid of blisters was moved to tables, chairs, benches and beds.
Zhu Xuefeng and the two girls have returned to No. 95. The place is even more chaotic. Except for Shazhu’s house, every household has been soaked in water. The tables and beds are full of objects.
The two chickens that the little sister cherished were moved indoors in time. Xiao Hei watched them closely. If he wasn't worried that the little sister would be sad, he would really like to take the opportunity to deal with them.
The water level in the house is also about ten centimeters. This level is far beyond Zhu Xuefeng's expectation. Compared with this, the floods in the capital in later generations seem not to be even small brothers. It is even worse outside the city. They are all Zeguo.
The three of them had their feet soaked in the water, sitting on stools and eating dry food. They had no hope of starting the fire. They came back late and the chopped wood was soaked.
Looking at the heavy rain still falling outside, Lin Na was worried, "When will it end? The losses this time are too tragic, especially the heavy rain last night."
With Lin Na They were so worried that the technical staff of the Municipal Planning Bureau almost burst into tears.
Just now they passed the emergency calculation. They imagined what would happen if the center of the heavy rain moved 20 kilometers further west and landed on the Nanhan River or Yongding River. The results of the calculations surprised people. The water from the Nanhan River will rush into the capital at a speed of 146 cubic meters per second. The depth of the water in the zoo will exceed 1 meter. The General Machinery Factory, the Yingbin Hotel (later the State Guesthouse), and the Sanli River area will all be flooded.
After the flood enters the city, it is likely to destroy the first three Helin Pavilion Gates and the South Moat Flood Release Gate. The flood will flow southward from Zhengyangmen Bridge and along Qianmenwai Street, continuing to aggravate the disaster in the overpass and Goldfish Pond area. The water accumulation in the urban area will increase, and all traffic in the southeast, northwest and northwest directions will be interrupted. Several river channels in Zuo'anmen, You'anmen and Dongzhimen may burst.
In order to prepare for possible problems, trucks rushed to the Nanhan River, transporting truckloads of straw bags. The straw bags were filled with mud, and people increased the embankment of the Nanhan River. Higher and higher.
"It's time to make a decision!" Faced with such a severe situation, the leader stood up and said, "Report to the superiors. We suggest that we use our mouths to divert the flood."
Soon the instructions from the superiors came down, "As long as we continue If it rains for two hours, the southeast moat will be opened to divert the flood!”
The flood will flood 4 townships and 8 villages in the southern suburbs along the Jiasongfen (Houjinsong).
"Let the leaders of these 4 townships and 8 villages quickly go back for a meeting to organize the people to prepare for the transfer. The superiors have issued a death order not to kill anyone. This is a death order, and no one must be killed!" (End of Chapter)
