Rebirth of the Rising Sun

What Feng Sizhe was afraid of was that while he was preparing, He Wenbao would be arrested by the provincial party committee for no reason. If that happened, he would need to borrow Zu Jie to complete his preparations.

From now on, the situation is still good. He Wenbao knows how to be patient. During the period when he was under investigation, he did nothing. This temporarily saved his position as secretary, but he did not make too much use of Zu Jie's power.

"Ah? Isn't this a sign of an earthquake?" Xie Kaiquan on the side was also shocked when he heard it.

"Yes, this is indeed a precursor to an earthquake." Hong Weiguang and He Wenbao in the command center both came over. Apparently, they had looked up a lot of information before and knew some basic conditions before the earthquake.

"That's right." Compared to everyone's surprise, Feng Sizhe was the calmest. He raised his wrist to check his watch. It was already 1:40 p.m. In other words, if everything went as usual, the earthquake should be less than an hour away. It was normal for these signs to appear now. It was estimated that the underground changes were already very frequent. Although people still couldn't feel it, the sensitivity of animals did give them a certain degree of foresight.

When everyone in the command center heard Feng Sizhe say that this was right, their eyes turned respectful when they looked at him.

All along, Feng Sizhe was the only one who said that the underground situation in Xichuan was changing abnormally, and he was the only one who had been firm in his belief. The others only made these preparations because they believed in his ideas. It can be said that during the preparation process, everyone was unsure. But now after hearing Zu Jie's report, everyone felt that the earthquake was really coming, so naturally when they looked at Feng Sizhe, their eyes became completely different.

"Haha, why are you looking at me? Actually, these don't mean that an earthquake will definitely happen. It's normal for animals to get noisy with a little noise. I think we should listen to the report from the Forecasting Department of the Earthquake Ministry." Feng Sizhe laughed. He didn't want to show too much and make others feel that he could predict the future. He still wanted to use more evidence to prove that earthquakes are going to happen, but the reason he could predict these was not his function, but the effect of technology.

"Feng Lei, get me Deputy Director Chen." Feng Sizhe turned around and said to the secretary.

Soon, Yin Fenglei got through to Chen Jiahua, deputy director of the Forecasting Department of the National Earthquake Administration, who was still exploring the geological conditions in Xichuan.

"Director Chen, how is the underground situation in Xichuan changing now?" Feng Sizhe asked his second uncle Chen Jiahua who was standing next to the exploration device in front of the big screen.

"Governor Feng, the underground situation in Xichuan hasn't changed much, but it's still a little different from the previous two days." Chen Jiahua said cautiously. He didn't know about all the crazy things going on. He was just answering the questions with great professionalism.

Hearing that the Forecasting Department still couldn't make a prepared forecast, Feng Sizhe couldn't help but feel disappointed. He finally understood why these earthquake countries couldn't predict in advance. It seemed that it was because of the underdeveloped technology. "Well, Director Chen, the situation is like this..."

Next, Feng Sizhe told about the abnormal reactions of those animals. The reason he said this was to remind Chen Jiahua that there was a real possibility of an earthquake in Xichuan. Because in this way, Chen Jiahua could go to the Ministry of Publicity to report the earthquake, and the authenticity would be much stronger. At the same time, he could also remove himself from the matter.

"What?" Chen Jiahua was stunned when he heard what Feng Sizhe said about the changes in animals. Then he said excitedly, "This... This is the precursor of an earthquake. Animals are different from humans. They are alert to some disasters in advance. Those animals with very sensitive senses will be terrified and restless when they sense a sound wave underground that we cannot feel. This can lead to snakes coming out of their holes, fish jumping out of the water, pigs and cows jumping in circles, and deep-water fish or strange fish schools being seen in shallow seas. There are many kinds of abnormal animals, including large livestock, poultry, burrowing animals, hibernating animals, fish, etc."

In this excitement, Chen Jiahua spoke a lot about the reactions of animals before earthquakes as if he was reciting books. After all, he has been studying this for his entire life, and his understanding of this most basic common sense is indeed deeper than that of Feng Sizhe and others.

"Oh, then Deputy Director Chen, does this mean that there is really a possibility of an earthquake in Xichuan?" Feng Sizhe did not care much about the behavior of the animals. He wanted Chen Jiahua to take the initiative to say that there would be an earthquake in Xichuan, and then have this person report it. In this way, everyone would definitely think that it was technology that detected the earthquake, and it had nothing to do with him.

"Yes, if such a thing really happened in the urban area of ​​Xichuan, then there might really be an earthquake. So, I will report the situation to the department now." Chen Jiahua said excitedly.

The prediction of earthquakes is a difficult problem not only in the Republic but also in the world. If they can find out about it first, it will undoubtedly be a great feat, and it will also prove to others that the Republic's earthquake prediction level has reached the world's leading level.

Chen Jiahua hung up the phone excitedly and started to contact the department, while Feng Sizhe breathed a sigh of relief. This result was exactly what he wanted. With the report from his second uncle, other people would not look at him with surprise.

"Okay, now everyone has heard it. Next, I will start assigning tasks. Comrade He Wenbao, you take people to the east city district. Zu Jie, you take people to the west city. Minister Ya, you take people to the south city district. Vice Governor Xie, I'm sorry to trouble you this time. You take people to the north city district." Feng Sizhe looked at the people he trusted and began to assign tasks.

Those who were called out left the command center quickly without any hesitation.

"Deputy Minister Hong, the two of us will stay here. I will go wherever you need me later, and you will be needed to command here. You will also be troubled by all the contact work at the critical moment." Feng Sizhe said to Hong Weiguang, the only one standing beside him who did not go out to work.

At this time, Hong Weiguang was still excited.

This time he was completely gambling, so he stood on Feng Sizhe's side, and he was somewhat involuntarily. Just now, when he heard Xie Kaiquan say that Zheng Zhi had come to the capital, he had a bad feeling. He thought that he might really lose this time. As long as Feng Sizhe was taken away from Xichuan, it was conceivable that the disaster prevention exercise here would become a farce, and he would become a sinner. But he never expected that things would suddenly take a turn for the better. It seemed that an earthquake would really happen. If so, he would no longer be guilty, but a hero.

As his mood changed, Hong Weiguang looked at Feng Sizhe with complete admiration. "Yes, Governor, please rest assured. If an earthquake really happens, I will be responsible for contacting all parties."

"Hmm." Feng Sizhe couldn't help but feel amused when he heard Hong Weiguang talking to him like a subordinate. It is said that sometimes position does not necessarily represent authority. Only when you have ability and your performance conquers the other party, can you get the ultimate respect.

His eyes passed through the command hall and looked into the distance, "In half an hour, according to the course of history, the Xichuan earthquake will begin in half an hour. Will it really come?" There was a hint of expectation and a hint of contradiction in Feng Sizhe's eyes.

In his heart, Feng Sizhe did not want this earthquake to happen, because no matter how well prepared he was, once this natural disaster came, the losses would be huge, both in terms of life and property. But he also knew that there were some things, especially in the face of nature, that humans simply could not control. If he could decide everything, he would have made the Republic strong long ago. But he could not make the decision on many things, so he could only use his prophethood to try to reduce the various consequences after the disaster.

National Earthquake Department, in the Minister’s Office.

Liu Weihong's eyes lit up when he looked at the latest document reports and geological analysis sent by his subordinates regarding the Forecasting Department's stationed in Xichuan.

"Hurry, arrange a car immediately, I want to go see the General Secretary." Liu Weihong said excitedly.

If it were normal times, when Liu Weihong, an unimportant ministerial official, said he wanted to meet the No. 1 leader, others would naturally find it ridiculous. The leader is very busy, so how could a ministerial official like you meet him whenever you want? But now, no one would laugh at him, because everyone knew that their minister had indeed been summoned to the South China Sea several times in the past few days to discuss important matters.

Director Ren Tianfang, with Minister Liu Weihong behind him, walked quickly in the corridor of the central office building. As the director of the General Office, as soon as he appeared here, other comrades walking in the corridor stopped and stood aside from a distance to express their respect for the leader.

"Report." When he arrived outside Office No. 1, Ren Tianfang spoke loudly.

"Come in." A heavy voice came from inside the door. This voice came from Comrade Qin Xianghua.

"Comrade Liu Weihong is here. He said he has something important to report to you." Ren Tianfang pushed the door open and said respectfully. He had been impressed by the wisdom and farsighted approach of this old commander whom he had followed for many years.

"Oh, please ask him to come in." When Qin Xianghua heard that it was Liu Weihong who had something important to report, he stopped writing on the document, then raised his head and looked at Liu Weihong who was following behind Ren Tianfang.
