Chapter 168 Blasting Plan
"Son, the Army Mountain Division doesn't have special forces in the true sense. Since it involves water blasting, I think it's more appropriate for the troops under our Navy Command to carry out this task."

Hearing Gu Ji's words, the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Navy couldn't help but refute.

Unlike the U.S. military, the Indian Army does not have a unified special forces command. At present, there are only four officially established special forces in the country, which belong to different military services and government departments, including the Marine Corps Special Forces and the Internal Affairs Department of the Navy Command. The special forces of the Ministry of the Interior controlled by the Ministry of the Interior, the special forces of the Cabinet controlled by the cabinet, and the special border forces led by the counterintelligence agency are also relatively complex, ranging in size from a few hundred to ten thousand, and the strength of the troops varies greatly.

Moreover, as the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Navy said, among the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Forces, only the Navy has established special forces. Although the Army’s 57th Mountain Division border team and paratroopers can perform some special forces tasks, he said Not really special forces.

Gu Ji knew that the other party wanted to take the credit for himself.

But this task is not really suitable for the Navy.

"Deputy Chief of Naval Staff, as of June 2019, data from the CWC Central Water Commission shows that there are 6 dams in India, of which West Bengal has a total of 5745, and nearly 596% of them are in the northern part of the state, where the terrain is generally higher. The Navy Although the Marine Corps special forces are very good at performing amphibious missions, they may not be able to adapt to the altitude sickness brought about by high altitude!"

"Actually, we have also conducted hypoxic training for high-altitude land..."

The Deputy Chief of Staff of the Navy went on to explain a few sentences, but judging from the decreasing tone, it was obvious that there was some lack of confidence.

Modi pursed his lips, took off his glasses, and pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a little tired.

"I will be in charge of coordinating and contacting the Mountain Division and West Bengal. Gaoba, you are mainly responsible for the media. Vidi will be led by the Disaster Management Department of your state, and experts from the Disaster Management Bureau, Finance and Taxation, the Ministry of Water Resources, and Engineering will carry out the work. It is recommended to review and draw up a detailed dam destruction plan, and the feasibility, loss and hazard impact must be calculated.”

"Good Prime Minister, everyone, let's end today's meeting!"

The cabinet secretary took out his notebook and wrote down the main points one by one, got up from his seat, and issued an order to evict the guest.

The experts, staff and senior officials withdrew one by one, and Gu Ji and the others also left the room under the leadership of the assistant secretary, and sent a car to send them to a five-star luxury hotel near the Presidential Palace.

Until the assistant secretary left.

In the hotel corridor, Anurag still hadn't reacted from the shock of participating in the prime minister's staff meeting just now, and the muscles on his face were still trembling with excitement.

"Vidi, you are too courageous. You were almost besieged by those high-level officials at the meeting just now!"

"Minister, I am also telling the truth, if you want to save the people in the lower reaches of West Bengal, destroying the dam in advance to drain the water is the fastest and only way!"

"But this is not so easy to do. The relationship between the governor of West Bengal and the central cabinet government has not been very good. The chief minister of Bengal has publicly bombarded the prime minister. Even the state is in a mess. There is chaos, and there are also frictions among the regional commissioners, in short, it is not so easy to blow up the dam!"

Anurag seemed to really regard Gu Ji as his own, and whispered a lot of official information in his ear, "In short, this plan must be formulated more strictly, and it must not be caught by the West Bengal government. To the handle!"

Gu nodded.

After the minister entered the room, he turned his head to look at Fatima, "Thank you, Fatima, thanks to you for providing the data in time at the meeting!"

"You are the incarnation of Lord Shiva and my partner, can I just die!"

Fatima raised her head, showing her beautiful jawline, and put her hand on his shoulder, "Go to bed early, I have to write a plan tomorrow!"

"Okay, you also rest early."

After entering the room, Gu Ji lay on the bed, thinking carefully about how to obtain the opportunity to cooperate with the special border troops of the Mountain Division.

Now under his influence, the central cabinet government has agreed to most of his disaster management strategies.

But when the plan is finalized, the prime minister will assign the Ministry of the Interior and the military region to implement it, and he will have no chance to intervene at that time.

Therefore, in order to personally participate in the action, Gu Ji must find a way to highlight his irreplaceability in the plan.

With thinking, Gu Ji gradually fell into sleep.

The next day, he was woken up by the knocking on the door. He raised his wrist and saw that it was only after seven o'clock.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, opened the door, and outside the door were Anurag and Fatima.

"Vidi, the director just called me and said that the Prime Minister has negotiated well with the West Bengal government. Let's hurry up and make a plan. You should pack it up!"

Gu said "OK" a few times, went back to the room and washed up briefly, and then rushed to the presidential palace with the minister.

In the rectangular strategic conference room, many relevant technical experts from finance and taxation, water conservancy, infrastructure, engineering blasting and other departments have already gathered.

Don't think that blowing up the dam is over as long as you throw explosives. The plan seems simple, but it is actually very complicated, because there are nearly [-] dams in West Bengal, and it is impossible to blow up all of them. For the torrential rain brought by tropical storms, the simulation calculates the key dams that are most likely to cause flash floods or pose the greatest threat to people's lives.

Secondly, according to the structure and construction environment of the dam, it is necessary to calculate the negative impact after the bombing, whether it is necessary to transfer people in advance, and the possibility of subsequent repairs.

During the entire planning meeting, everyone was holding a computer to perform model deduction, arguing with each other, and all kinds of files filled with data were flying all over the sky, and they couldn't discuss why for a while.

"The Falaka Dam must not be bombed. This is a key dam in the middle reaches of the Ganges River. In order to obtain the right to build this dam, do you know how many times we had repeated discussions with Bangladesh? It affected The livelihood of thousands of farmers!"

"The impact of the bombing on the Yiputai Dam is too great. There are too many people who need to be transferred. The government needs to spend too much money. The gains outweigh the losses!"

"I also think that the bombing of the Yiputai Dam is too difficult. I don't know the level of the military, but from the perspective of engineering blasting, the dam is built between two mountains and is a very narrow gorge. , The project was very difficult when it was first built, but now it is forced to be blasted, not only is it difficult to repair in the future, it is more likely to cause landslides and landslides on both sides, and the danger is too high!"

In the conference room, everyone chattered non-stop, and some even got up and patted the table on the spot.

Either the finance and taxation refused on the grounds that it cost too much money, or the infrastructure and blasting were suggested to be replaced because the construction was too difficult, or the water conservancy was forcibly terminated on the grounds that the dam was irreplaceable.

Throughout the morning, no effective plan was worked out.

He can see clearly the thoughts of these senior officials and experts. Maybe they are not clear about the seriousness of the matter, or maybe they have not seen the horror of the flood in Assam with their own eyes. Consider issues from the perspective of the people and disaster management, but give priority to calculating the responsibilities and losses of their own departments.

Only the director of the Disaster Management Bureau, Anurag and others were left, with one pale and one pale, and the fire in their hearts was suffocating.

But Gu Ji wouldn't spoil them, anyway, he was a small shrimp of the state government.

So he said in a cold voice: "I think you have not seen the essence of the problem at all. Once the water level of the Hooghly River soars, the small dam upstream cannot support it, causing the Falaka Dam to break, and it will be transmitted to the downstream to cause continuous dyke breaks. At that time, the impact will not be The livelihood of farmers is not the lives of tens of thousands of people, and infrastructure such as houses, roads, bridges, and electricity will all be severely damaged, and the cost of repairing is dozens of times that of blowing up a dam!"

After saying this, Fatima finally let out the breath that was constricted in her chest.

The meeting room was silent for a long time.

Everyone in finance and taxation, water conservancy, engineering, etc. has a bit of displeasure on their faces. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Gu Ji is saying that they are "incompetent".

"Your name is Vidi, right? I heard you attended the prime minister's staff meeting last night?"

"I don't know which university you graduated from. Could it be that you, a small official of the State Disaster Management Department, can also give pointers to the National Infrastructure Engineering Department?"

"Director Desai, if the people under you are discussing the content like this, then there is no need for our Finance and Taxation Department to continue participating in this meeting!"

"Let's go, since people don't want to chat with us, then let's go, it's almost 11 o'clock, let's eat first!"

……

I don't know if Gu Ji was born to be against "water conservancy". The experts from the Ministry of Water Conservancy were the first to jump out and insinuate him "just because he has met the prime minister, he is unscrupulous". These experts and technicians can work in the central state department , are also arrogant masters, expressing their dissatisfaction one by one, and simply got up and left the scene.

The director of the Disaster Management Bureau looked at the messy and empty conference room in embarrassment, and laughed twice.

"The people under your command are really interesting."

After speaking, he also left together.

There were only three people from the National Disaster Management Department left in the conference room. Seeing Gu Ji’s calm and relaxed look, Anurag couldn’t help but persuade him:
"Viddy, what you just said was a bit too blunt!"

"Minister, if a brick is thrown into the kennel, whichever dog barks the worst must be the one that hit it. I'm just telling the truth, and these people are in a hurry, which shows that they didn't put their minds on it at all. Put it on disaster relief!"

Gu Ji immediately brought up the famous "law of smashing dogs", which caused Fatima next to her to cover her mouth and laugh.

Anurag glared at her, shook his head and sighed.

"Hey, that's what I said, but if it really breaks up and the plan can't go ahead, then the prime minister will only blame us, after all, the prime minister named the Assam State Disaster Management Department as the leader of this plan! "

"Minister, because of this, we should have the absolute right to speak, and there is no need to listen to the suggestions of those experts and technicians."

"Don't listen? We may be able to do mountain torrent model calculations, logistics transfers, etc., but the professional technology of bombing dams cannot be carried out without the presence of engineering blasting experts!"

"That's not necessarily true, I also know a little about building demolition!"

what! ?

Seeing that Gu Ji's expression didn't look like he was lying, Anurag was completely stunned. He opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time. After a while, he shook his head and said:
"Is this true? I don't believe it."

"It's true. When I served in the mountain army, I learned blasting-related techniques."

Gu Ji answered seriously word by word.

Since last night, he has been thinking about how to highlight his importance in the formulation of this plan, and personally participate in military operations, until he searched for the "Vidi" cell phone and checked his identity, and he found a message of His strong role identity: Vidi participated in a new recruitment plan called "Path of Fire" issued by the Indian Ministry of Defense during college, and served in the mountain troops of Assam for two years.

Because of this, he chose to work in the Assam State Department of Agriculture after graduation.

And Gu Ji's USMC blasting methodology has been strengthened in actual combat after passing the bomb checkpoint. It is not a problem to blow up a complex building like a building, let alone a curved dam.

Anurag stretched out his hand to grab Gu Ji's face, and pinched his own.

"God, tell me, I'm not dreaming! Why are you like the almighty Lord Shiva, you can do everything?"

"Hahaha, Minister, I told you earlier that Vidi must be the incarnation of Lord Shiva, omnipotent, even if he tells me now that he can blow away the tropical storm in one breath, I don't think I will be surprised !"

Fatima joked a few words aside.

The news of Gu Jihui's "directed blasting" encouraged Anurag a lot.

He decided to get rid of the finance and taxation, water conservancy, engineering and other departments and go it alone.

After all, this group of people slammed their faces and left on the spot just to put pressure on them, and Anurag had to humbly beg them.

But now, with the all-round talent Gu Ji in their hands, they can completely make their own plans and avoid other departments from sharing the credit.

then.

Fatima made a cup of black coffee for each of the three, gnawed on the bread, and started to make a detailed bombing plan for the dam with full firepower.

The division of labor between the three is also very clear.

Fatima is responsible for considering the meteorological and hydrological environment, Gu Ji is responsible for selecting the dam and formulating the blasting plan, and Anurag relies on his rich experience in emergency response to handle the process of people's transfer and compensation.

In the afternoon, these experts really didn't come back.

Seeing that they were able to complete the plan alone, especially Gu Ji who knew how to blast, the director expressed his full support with the same horrified expression as Anurag, and sent four more technicians and secretaries to assist them in calculating the data.

In the evening, the orange-red sunset was gradually covered by overcast clouds, and the temperature of the conference room also dropped.

Gu Ji raised his head, saw this scene, and raised his wrist.

"It's almost time. By this time, the tropical storm should have landed and hit the Bay of Bengal..."
