First Secretary of Rebirth

Chapter 118 The Drill Before the Earthquake

After inspecting the material reserves, He Chaoyang started preparing for the earthquake drill.

"Mayor, is it too much to hold four drills in two months?" Liu Congjian was also frightened by He Chaoyang's plan.

"You think it's a lot?" He Chaoyang raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I'm afraid there will be opinions from below."

Compared with He Chaoyang's plan, the drills conducted by Mr. Mai are like a child's play house. They are just publicized in schools and factories, and some enterprises and institutions are also encouraged to do drills. However, these drills not only teach people some Apart from the necessary earthquake-proof knowledge, relevant functional departments of the government were not involved.

He Chaoyang's plan is very comprehensive. Not only do the counties and cities below be required to prepare for the exercise, but also all functional departments, such as water supply, power supply and communication units, must make adequate plans.

Seeing Liu Congjian's concerns, He Chaoyang said calmly, "No matter how difficult it is, we must do it. Pass it on. This is an administrative order."

"But the others..."

"I'll convince them."

At the mayor's office meeting, everyone smoked and drank tea silently, and no one looked at He Chaoyang.

He Chaoyang sat in the main seat, looked at the subordinates with different expressions, and said with a smile: "This is a disaster prevention plan I made, please take a look and give me your opinions."

"Mayor," executive deputy mayor Yang Jiangshui flipped through the disaster prevention plan in his hand, with a hint of tentativeness on his face, "You have been emphasizing disaster prevention since you arrived in Annan, is it true that there will be an earthquake in Annan? "

"I can't guarantee that."

"Then..." The Finance Director was also embarrassed, "This exercise will cost money."

"Is the city's finances very tight?" He Chaoyang raised his eyebrows and asked.

The Director of the Finance Bureau laughed dryly, "To tell you the truth, it has never been relaxed."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a low laugh.

"No matter how much money is spent," He Chaoyang ignored the laughter, and said seriously, "I can't guarantee that an earthquake will happen. If it doesn't happen, that's the best." He glanced around with piercing eyes, Suppressing several voices who wanted to speak, "Comrades from the National Earthquake Administration have been working in Annan for a long time, and they cannot rule out this dangerous situation, so we still have to treat it as a major event."

"But..." Yang Jiangshui hesitated, "Will such a large-scale exercise cause panic among the people?"

When people's hearts are in turmoil, it is a big event.

"Our publicity work must be done well, and we must tell the common people that this is not a harbinger of an earthquake, but a routine disaster prevention drill, the purpose of which is to raise everyone's awareness of disaster preparedness."

After hearing his words, Minister Lu of the Propaganda Department's face was almost contorted in pain.

"Minister Lu, do you have any difficulties?"

Minister Lu shook his head and said, "I will arrange it."

"Be quick. The municipal government's policies can be conveyed through TV broadcasts and mobile phone text messages. In addition, we must pay attention to the coordination between different ethnic groups, and use different texts and languages ​​​​to broadcast."

"Yes, I understand."

Because He Chaoyang was too strong, the officials of Annan City had to do it even though they complained in their hearts.

He Chaoyang came down from Beijing, and with Premier Liang's backing, even the provincial leaders wanted to give him three points.But if you are tough, you are tough. It is really uncomfortable to conduct such a large-scale exercise. As soon as the meeting was over, the person who complained entered Secretary Ma's door.

"Secretary Ma, what do you think Mayor He is doing?" Minister Lu entered Ma Yuehong's office, first poured a glass of water spontaneously, and then complained with displeasure.

"What's the matter?" Ma Yuehong pushed the reading glasses and asked with a smile.

"Mayor He wants to conduct a disaster prevention drill. He not only conducts the drill, but also requires the publicity work to be in place. How can it be possible to make such a big commotion and keep the masses from messing around?"

"Practice?" The smile on Ma Yuehong's face faded, "He seems to be very keen on this?"

"We have to do it four times in two months, and I don't know where the energy comes from."

"Is Annan really going to have an earthquake?"

"Impossible," Minister Lu hesitated. "People from the Earthquake Administration just handed in a report saying that there may be geological changes in our subordinate Zhanggu City, but they didn't accurately predict the earthquake."

"It's really a bit of a big deal." Ma Yuehong pondered.

"Secretary, do you really want him to do this?"

Ma Yuehong pondered for a while, and said: "Let him do it, he is a general appointed by the Prime Minister, we are not easy to touch him." As he said, Ma Yuehong showed a calculating smile, "But if he messes things up so that it can't be ended , we have a chance."

After listening to Secretary Ma's words, Minister Lu silently gave a thumbs up.

After all, the secretary is Gao Ming!

Because the time required by He Chaoyang was very short, all departments had to hastily come up with a plan.

He Zhaoyang looked through the plans, and ordered to execute them without saying anything.

On the first working day in June, the disaster prevention drill in Annan City was launched vigorously.

All schools, factories, government agencies, and even this exercise extended to subordinate counties, cities, villages and towns.

The drill started. Under the command of the teacher, the children gathered in the school playground in a smooth and orderly manner. They gathered together, squatted and hugged their heads, and giggled from time to time. This kind of drill was something they had never experienced before. They find it amusing.

At this time, the children who were still giggling never imagined that such an ordinary and orderly exercise saved their lives at a critical moment.

The factory and the hospital are also busy. The factory is better, but it is just a loss of one day of shutdown, but the hospital is different. The drill has started, what about the ongoing operation?What about patients in high-risk wards?What about pregnant women who are in labor?Things that I usually take for granted, but when it was time for the drill, I found that there were problems everywhere. The hospital leaders blushed when they thought of the hastily handed in plan.

Four drills were held in two months. Although I felt that the city government was crazy, many people fell silent as the problems exposed in the drills.

After a day of chaos, the meeting room of the Annan City Government was brightly lit, and the heads of water, power, medical and sanitation units sat upright like elementary school students waiting for exam results, daring not to move.

When He Chaoyang entered the door, these people stood up anxiously.

"Sit down." He Chaoyang waved his hand.

Everyone sat down, secretly exchanging glances from time to time.

"This is the report of this exercise." He Chaoyang snapped a stack of reports onto the conference table. "Look for yourself, how many problems have been exposed in this exercise? The backup generator in the hospital can't be activated, the water supply pipeline can't be repaired after a day, and the communication company is the same. I don't know how you coordinate. The communication vehicles work independently. It is impossible to form an emergency communication network!"

"The thing that hurts me the most is the school!" He Chaoyang turned his gaze to the principal of No. [-] Primary School, "A municipal primary school doesn't even have a decent playground! What did you use the land approved by the city for?"

"I, I..." Cold sweat dripped down the headmaster's forehead.

"I heard that a circle of shops was built around the playground? You can generate income."

The principal began to tremble.

"Development and shops occupy the children's activity space." He Chaoyang's expression became colder and colder. "If there is an accident, where do you ask the teachers and students in the school to avoid danger?"

The principal of the second primary school was the first to be scolded, but not the last.

He Chaoyang sat in the main seat, teaching each other a lesson.He couldn't help but be anxious, there was not much time left for him, Annan's disaster prevention system was still immature, it was fine if there was no earthquake, if an accident happened, casualties would inevitably occur.

Natural disasters cannot be avoided, and man-made disasters must not happen in his office.

This meeting lasted until late at night, and all departments have learned a profound lesson. Mayor He's aura is too strong, and the sturdy aura suppresses the top leaders of each department not even daring to breathe.And they also saw that Mayor He was serious this time, and replaced people without changing heads. If Mayor He's standards were not met in the next exercise, their top positions would have to be replaced.

"What do you think Mayor He is up to?" After the meeting was over, everyone dispersed in twos and threes, and when they left the government compound, they could still hear complaints from time to time.

"What's the picture? Show it to the higher-ups." Someone said in a low voice: "I've already inquired with the Seismological Bureau. The chance of an earthquake is only a few percent. The surname He is doing this, and he is not trying to make a mark. "

"We are really unlucky to have such a mayor."

"Yes." Someone echoed: "It is said that Beijing officials are gentle, but I think this Mayor He is more ruthless than the old bearded man!"

"Oh, let's live with it, he has a background."

"Hmph, why do you accept it? I don't believe that he will have no objection to such a big move." He said, looking around, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the old horse didn't deal with him."

"Really?"

"I heard what our leader's brother-in-law said."

"Isn't that brother-in-law in the province?"

"Yeah! I think this matter still needs to be seen!"

Everyone's discussion is discussion, and the work that needs to be done is still to be done. After all, it is unrealistic to expect Ma Yuehong or the province to take action. He Chaoyang is still sitting in the mayor's seat. If he does not leave, these decrees must be implemented. This is Mayor He's bottom line.

However, because he insisted on conducting disaster prevention drills, and the authorities could not give evidence that an earthquake would definitely occur, those with bad intentions nicknamed him Earthquake Mayor.

At this time, the mayor of the earthquake was receiving Comrade Tang Xiaoli, the battalion commander of a certain field army.

"Second brother, you are becoming more and more powerful." Tang Xiaoli was wearing a military uniform and sat across from He Chaoyang in a faceless manner.

"Oh? Why do you know that?" He Chaoyang raised his eyebrows, took out the special cigarettes from the drawer and threw them over.

"When you were in Beijing, you were very introverted." Although He Chaoyang also showed a domineering side that day, the Beijing officials were hard-pressed.Therefore, He Chaoyang in Beijing is gentle and refreshing.

It's different now, Ningbei is a place where the folk customs are tough, and the gentleness of the Beijing officials is useless here. If you want to gain a foothold here, you must inevitably release the aura of domineering. You can overwhelm him , he will obey you.

From this point of view, Ningbei is simpler than the capital.

"Your mouth." He Chaoyang shook his head and said, "I'm not a man-eating tiger."

"Yes, people call you He Zhenzhen now."

"Isn't He Ai acting?" Mayor He loves to perform.

"Haha..." Tang Xiaoli laughed so hard, "Second brother, you are so generous."

"I don't care what they say behind their backs, as long as I finish what I told them to do, let them go." The date of the earthquake is getting closer and closer, and it's better to be familiar with it. He Chaoyang only adjusted the leaders of two departments. All remain unchanged.

"Little Li, I went to Zhanggu County yesterday." He Chaoyang sat up straight and pondered, "Aren't you going to have field training? Next month, you will set the training location in Zhanggu."

"Second brother, will there really be an earthquake?" Tang Xiaoli's expression turned serious, "Will the epicenter be in Zhanggu?"

"These are all speculations, I can't guarantee it." He Chaoyang's expression was very straightforward. Although many things in this life continued the trajectory of the previous life, there were also some things that were different.As for whether the earthquake in Ningbei will happen, he himself is not sure.

If it doesn't happen, it's naturally the best.Even if he gambled on his political future, He Chaoyang did not regret it.

Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. The earthquake in Annan involved tens of thousands of lives. If he didn't do something about it, his conscience would not be at ease.

Letting Tang Xiaoli stay in Zhanggu was the most selfish arrangement he made for this earthquake. To transfer Xiaoli back to Ningbei all the way, he must let Tang Wanchuan see the benefits of doing so. For Xiaoli and his team, a team that rushed to the scene of the incident would definitely be an insurmountable honor.

At that time, Tang Wanchuan will definitely understand his painstaking efforts in doing so.
