Rebirth of the Rising Sun

After thinking about it again and again, Tang Jian felt that Lu Xingye's idea was indeed beneficial to him. In addition, he also wanted to give the Lu family some face. They took the initiative to ask for it. If he refused, it would put him in opposition to the Lu family. So he immediately answered happily, "Thank you, brother Lu, for giving me this idea. Don't worry, I will do it according to your wishes immediately. Although the positions of the people I arranged in Xichuan City are not very high, it is still possible to let them contact the people and unify their opinions."

This is exactly what Tang Jian wanted to hear. After hearing this answer, Mr. Lu on the other end of the phone also laughed.

While Lu Xingye was calling Tang Jian, Wen Ruhao, the best-performing third-generation member of the Wen family, also called Yu Chunhao, deputy secretary of the Ducheng Provincial Party Committee.

Yu Chunhao was the first person to join the Wen family after Ke Zhenye retired. Now that the Wen family has something to say, of course he has to go and do it.

So, not long after, after the two of them hung up the phone with the Lu and Wen families, they took out their mobile phones and called their subordinates in Xichuan City. At once, a small number of cadres in Xichuan received new instructions and began to get busy.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Kyoto.

At the home of Comrade Liu Weihong, Minister of the State Seismological Department.

Although he is a minister, Comrade Liu Weihong does not actually have much power, and his work is usually quite light. In fact, this job is just a reward given to him by the central government due to his old age and poor health.

As the Minister of the Earthquake Department, Liu Weihong is not very proficient in the relevant knowledge. Usually, the professional work of the department is done by the deputy minister, and he is only in charge of the party leadership and personnel power in the department.

In the past, he had such an idle job and was usually quite leisurely. After work, he would either attend dinner parties or go home to spend time with his family. In short, he lived a very comfortable life.

But tonight was destined to be an extraordinary night for Liu Weihong, because since the special report on Xichuan City was broadcast, his home phone has not stopped ringing. And the number of leaders who called to inquire about the geological conditions in Xichuan and whether there would be a real earthquake was also increasing.

After answering one call after another, Minister Liu Weihong broke out in cold sweat.

Minister Liu Weihong was sitting on the sofa next to the phone, wiping the sweat from his forehead. That was caused by nervousness. "Oh my God, that was the call from the deputy manager in charge of national natural disasters. How did I answer the call just now? Did I give an inappropriate answer?"

Minister Liu Weihong was talking to himself, reflecting on whether his behavior just now was appropriate.

At this time, the phone rang again. It turned out to be a call from the General Office of the Central Committee. Minister Liu Weihong stood up from the sofa and answered the phone respectfully as if the person was right in front of him. "Hello, I am Liu Weihong."

"Hello, Comrade Liu Weihong. I am Ren Tianfang from the General Office of the Central Committee. The chief wants to see you now and hopes that you can give a report on the geological changes in Xichuan. Please get ready now. The car to pick you up is on the way." The voice of Ren Tianfang, director of the General Office, came from the other side.

"Yes, Director Ren, I will prepare it right away." Liu Weihong replied quickly.

The other party hung up the phone quickly, and then Liu Weihong thought for a moment, then immediately found another phone number and called, "Hello, Vice Minister Song? This is Liu Weihong, please send the report on the complexity of Xichuan's geological situation that Chen Jiahua sent last time to my home immediately. Hurry up... Hurry up!!!"

It can be said that Feng Sizhe's actions in Xichuan have attracted the attention of the top leaders and others. After getting to know Feng Sizhe, they all wanted to know the situation in Xichuan City as soon as possible. If there was nothing wrong there, why would he conduct such a large-scale disaster drill there? What benefits would this bring to him?

When they returned to the small conference hall in Nanhai, Liu Weihong had already left, but the other members of the Standing Committee of the zz Bureau did not leave. They all sat here, analyzing the current situation.

"Comrades, please share your opinions." As the general secretary, Comrade Qin Xianghua presided over the meeting.

Feng Sizhe probably didn't expect that his actions had attracted the attention of the central government. The central government even convened a special meeting of the Standing Committee of the Central Political Bureau for his actions. If he knew this, he would be excited. After all, something done by the head of a province could actually attract so much attention from above. This is enough to show that his identity and position have already entered the eyes of the central government leaders.

After Qin Xianghua opened his mouth, he looked at the people present one by one, but he was disappointed that these people were either lowering their heads or meditating in the air. Obviously, they had no idea about this matter, and no one wanted to be the first to speak about something they had no confidence in.

"Comrade Zheng Zhi, please come and talk." Seeing that no one spoke, Qin Xianghua had to call out names. The first person he called was Comrade Zheng Zhi, who had just been appointed as the executive vice president.

Zheng Zhi will be promoted to executive vice president of the State Council after the 17th National Congress. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that he is here to take over Duan Jianghe's job. For such a future star, this person's attitude is extremely crucial.

Zheng Zhi didn't expect that he would be the first one to be mentioned. As a member of the Qin clan, he knew that the leader wanted to start a discussion. So, after thinking about his words, he said, "Okay, since the general secretary asked me to speak first, I will talk about my personal understanding. It may not be correct, but it is just my superficial opinion."

It can be said that Zheng Zhi is still very humble. He repeatedly emphasized that this is just his own opinion. This is also to prevent others from making a fuss about this matter and causing harm to me in case he is wrong.

"Well, this matter happened rather suddenly. Everyone is just talking about their own opinions. It doesn't matter if they are wrong." Qin Xianghua said encouragingly.

After observing this talent who was once cultivated by his relative Guo Renzheng, Qin Xianghua was very satisfied, so he tried his best to cultivate him. Now he has finally ascended to his rightful position. In this way, the Qin faction will have one more member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau in the next term, which can ensure that the Qin faction will not fall.

Qin Xiangjie deliberately emphasized that this was a personal opinion and it didn't matter if it was wrong. In this way, Zheng Zhi could speak freely.

Zheng Zhi had a modest expression and said in a somewhat solemn tone, "After listening to Comrade Liu Weihong's introduction just now, I also have a brief understanding of the geological conditions in Xichuan. It can be said that the geological conditions in Xichuan have indeed changed to a certain extent, but whether it can cause unpredictable earthquakes is still uncertain. In Xichuan, Comrade Feng Sizhe's approach is not the best, but think about it, from the perspective of prevention, his approach is one of the more feasible methods at present. After all, if an earthquake comes, it will happen in an instant, and its changes are even more unpredictable. If you are not prepared in advance, there will definitely be great losses."

As soon as Zheng Zhi said this, Lu Guodong, secretary of the National Law Committee, suddenly interrupted him and said, "What? Deputy Director Zheng means that you support what Feng Sizhe has done?"

Zheng Zhi was of course a little unhappy about someone interrupting his speech, but when he saw that the person was Lu Guodong and thought of the power behind him, he had to suppress his anger. However, his eyebrows did frown, showing his dissatisfaction. "Secretary Lu, I didn't say that I support Comrade Feng Sizhe's approach. I just said that this approach is not without merit."

"Hmph! The only good thing about it is a report about some changes in the geological strata. But because of this, nearly one million people in a city have to leave their homes and become displaced, seriously disrupting the local social and economic development. Does this make sense? If so, does it mean that once the geology of other places has changed, the leaders there can also do the same? If everyone does this, who will do the economic construction?" Lu Guodong snorted coldly and curled his lips. Obviously, he was extremely dissatisfied with Zheng Zhi speaking for Feng Sizhe.

Zheng Zhi did not expect that Lu Guodong's hatred for Feng Sizhe would spread to him. Anger flashed in his eyes and he said in a serious tone, "Secretary Lu, how will things develop now? Whether there will really be an earthquake in Xichuan, everything is unknown, so it is too early to draw a conclusion now. Of course, what will happen if such a situation occurs in other areas you mentioned? Haha, forgive me for being blunt, which leader will have the courage of Comrade Feng Sizhe to conduct such a large disaster drill?"

After Zheng Zhi said this, Lu Guodong wanted to refute him, but when he thought that what the other person said did make some sense, he could not help but snorted coldly and said nothing more.

What Zheng Zhi said was right. Most leaders do not have the courage like Feng Sizhe. He dared to conduct an exercise in a city based on a report of abnormal geological changes from the Forecasting Department of the Earthquake Ministry, leaving nearly one million people homeless. This approach requires not only courage but also a fearless spirit.

Because everyone knows that if this thing is successful, it will be good, but what if nothing happens? The subsequent voices of opposition and doubt will be enough to drown people.
