First Secretary of Rebirth

Under the guidance of the lights, the helicopter landed slowly on the open space reserved in Zhanggu County.

It has long been proposed in the disaster prevention plan that if the land route is blocked, an open space must be opened up to ensure that helicopters take off and land.

Now, this open space guarded by the militia has played its due role.

The door of the helicopter opened, and the Prime Minister was the first to step out of the cabin.

"Hello Prime Minister!" In the drizzle, He Chaoyang greeted him.

"Comrade Chaoyang." Premier Liang looked around Zhanggu County in the darkness with a serious face, and stepped down the stairs.

"Prime Minister, flying at night in the rain is too dangerous!" He Chaoyang stepped forward to support Premier Liang, with a worried expression on his face, "The disaster situation in Zhanggu County is still under control, you can wait until tomorrow..."

"You can't wait until tomorrow, but I can?" The Prime Minister gave him a displeased look.

He Zhaoyang scratched his head and remained silent.

After Premier Liang stepped off the helicopter, the party secretary and governor of Northern Ningbei Province also stepped out of the cabin.

They originally planned to go to Zhanggu to stand by in advance, but after Premier Liang heard that He Chaoyang had gone to Zhanggu to direct the disaster, he decisively let the two of them stay in Annan and take charge of the general dispatch work.

The news of the Annan earthquake has been released as soon as possible, and now major TV stations are broadcasting the news of the Annan earthquake.

Premier Liang is accompanied by CCTV reporters, and they will use the fastest speed to send the news of Premier Liang's rush to the disaster area back to the information center.

The Prime Minister rushed to Zhanggu County, the epicenter, in the rain, and the people who heard the news were instantly excited!Mayor He saved their lives, and Premier Liang traveled thousands of miles to visit everyone in the rain.

At this moment, everyone is grateful to the government and to these officials who are dedicated to the people.

Maybe we usually have all kinds of dissatisfaction with the government, but in the face of disasters, it is this government that we are always criticized that gives us the greatest confidence.

The Prime Minister took to the streets to visit the affected people.

The Prime Minister asked everyone if they had eaten and had any clothes to keep out the cold.

The Prime Minister said that people all over the country are very concerned about the disaster situation in Zhanggu. The Ministry of Civil Affairs has dispatched a large number of relief materials to be shipped overnight. The Prime Minister said that the aid materials from various provinces are already on their way.

The Prime Minister also said that everyone has been wronged, and comrades are asked to be more considerate.

The prime minister's voice is not high, and the speed of speech is very slow, but the figure of such a sixty-year-old man standing on the ruins against the wind and rain has become an unforgettable memory in many people's lives.

This is our Prime Minister. He rushed to the worst-hit areas within four hours after the earthquake. He directed the rescue at the scene. He brought together the rescue forces from all over the country to Annan and Zhanggu.

In the end, the prime minister's voice became hoarse. He stayed up all night, trying his best to transfer the resources he could use to Annan as quickly as possible.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the Prime Minister was persuaded by everyone to go back to the tent.

In addition to visiting the disaster area and learning first-hand information, the Prime Minister also, as the commander-in-chief on the spot, called the leaders of various departments at all levels to allocate personnel, equipment, and materials.

For the first time, the picture of the prime minister visiting the disaster area clearly appeared on the night news. Many viewers waiting by the TV were highly nervous. The scene of collapsed into ruins made everyone's heart tighten.

How many people would die in such a strong earthquake!

But when the announcer told everyone that when the earthquake happened, the whole city of Annan was conducting disaster prevention drills, so the casualties were only a few tenths of a percent, and everyone was stunned. This is impossible, right?

This is fucking dreaming!How many people does Annan have? More than 200 million!How many people were there at the epicenter?At least 10,000+ right?But the casualty rate is so low?

Is it the government concealing the report or is there something else tricky?Could it be that Annan really had shit luck and was favored by heaven once?

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and the Internet became lively at the same time.

Some people didn't believe it and felt that the government was lying. Some people immediately retorted, why can't they look down on the disaster area?

This day, for many people, is a sleepless night.

This is especially true for Ling Future.

Before the exercise, He Chaoyang took the time to call him once and told him everything was fine.

Ling Wei was still a little worried at the time, what if the earthquake didn't happen?

"I can't control that much. It's better if it doesn't happen. I'm afraid it will happen." He Zhaoyang pondered: "The drill can save many lives, but once an earthquake occurs, it will definitely be a devastating blow to Annan. I can't even imagine the amount of relief and reconstruction work after a disaster."

"Be sure to pay attention to safety."

"Well, I'm the commander, I'm sure I'll be fine."

"Natural disasters are ruthless, don't talk too much, when you are in danger, when you are desperate..." Ling Wei gritted his teeth, and said slowly: "Please think about me."

"Hmm." He Chaoyang's heart softened in an instant, and he comforted him softly: "Once there is an earthquake, I may not be able to care about you. But don't worry, I'm sure I'll be fine, I'll just wait for things to happen here ,I will visit you."

He Zhaoyang's tender words were still echoing in his ears, but the earthquake really happened in the blink of an eye.

The news of Premier Liang's visit to the disaster area was rolling on the TV. He Chaoyang's official position among this group of bigwigs was too small, and there were only flashes of him in the news.

But this is enough for Ling Wei.

In the middle of the night, he stayed in front of the TV, switching channels to search for news that Premier Liang had gone to the disaster area in person, just to catch a greedy glimpse of He Chaoyang.

He's okay, he's doing disaster relief, and that's it.

The heavy rain has been falling, but thanks to the encouragement of Prime Minister Liang and He Chaoyang, the mood of the victims in Zhanggu County is still stable.

In the face of a catastrophe, the good side of human nature begins to shine.

Someone took the risk of snatching the pots and pans, rice noodles, grain and oil from the house.Someone invited everyone to dig open the collapsed store and snatched bundles of plastic sheeting and thatch mats from inside.

Simple shacks were erected, simple stoves were fired, and the mineral water brought back from the material distribution center next to the disaster relief headquarters became the most scarce resource.

They boiled water and boiled pots of porridge to fill everyone's stomachs.The gathering point is very lively, and people are consciously queuing up. These precious foods are given priority to the elderly and children.

As the rain became heavier and heavier, people gathered together, and some shacks were so crowded that there was no room for them to turn around.But on a rainy night, the family is safe and there is a place to live. Everyone has nothing else to ask for.

"Wow! Wow!" The baby cried, and the young mother was so anxious that she was about to cry. The earthquake was so violent that all the milk powder was buried at home, but on a stormy night with occasional aftershocks, where to go to give the baby? What about milk powder?

"Shall I go to the material center and ask?" Grandma wiped her tears and said, "If you don't drink milk, the baby won't be able to bear it."

"But..." It's raining outside, how can I get there?

"Let me go!" The young people on the periphery pulled out a piece of emergency plastic sheeting in front of the shack, turned around and were about to rush into the rain.

"No need to go!" A young woman in oilcloth walked out of the hut of the Qing people next to her.

The young woman squeezed into the shack here by stepping on the muddy water. The oilcloth was removed, and the traditional Qing costumes made many people change their faces.

Zhanggu is a multi-ethnic mixed area. In the previous gang fight incident, both Han and Qing people in Zhanggu County participated in it. Before the earthquake, the Qing and Han people did not even speak when they met!

The young woman of the Qing nationality ignored the strange eyes of everyone and squeezed to the side of the mother who was holding the child.

"I have milk." She cast a fixed glance at the young mother, and opened her skirt.

The young mother hesitated for a moment, then looked down at the crying child, and slowly handed the child over.

The young woman unbuttoned her skirt, and the crying child smelled the fragrance of milk, and opened his mouth to grab the young woman's nipple, and started to suck it.

The men in the tent turned their gazes consciously, and their mentality also changed amidst the contented sound of the child sucking milk.

In the face of a catastrophe, some unnecessary persistence is...forget it.

This night, the rain was rustling, and it was extremely long.

As the sky gradually cleared and the sound of the rain gradually diminished, everyone was a little bit overwhelmed. Did this night pass like this?

The helicopter set off again, delivering supplies to the best of its ability.

On the outskirts of Zhanggu, Zhou Jun and others started working again after surveying the terrain and mountain conditions.

Prime Minister Liang, who had a meeting overnight, walked out of the headquarters when the sky was about to dawn.

"Prime Minister..." He Chaoyang put the umbrella on Prime Minister Liang's head with a worried look on his face.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." The Prime Minister's resolute face showed a trace of exhaustion, and the sleepless night arranging work made the sixty-year-old man a little bit overwhelmed.

Earthquakes are terrible, but post-disaster rescue and reconstruction are even more terrible than earthquakes.Of course, reconstruction is out of the question at this stage. These three days are the golden rescue period, and the most urgent task is to search and rescue the victims.It's just that rescue is rescue. There are so many people in the disaster area, they need clothes, food, accommodation and a stable life.

These are also the most severe tests for those in power.

"Let's go together?" Prime Minister Liang said quietly, looking ahead.

He Zhaoyang looked back, Ma Weichao and Liu Tao were standing by the tent, looking at them.

"Don't follow others." Premier Liang stepped forward, and He Chaoyang shook his head at Ma Weichao and Liu Tao.

Ma Weichao and Liu Tao stopped in their tracks and did not follow.

On the first morning after the disaster, Premier Liang talked with He Chaoyang alone. They couldn't figure out what it meant.And they can't spy on the thoughts of the prime minister of a country, not to mention that He Chaoyang was originally a soldier appointed by the prime minister to Ningbei.

And He Chaoyang's performance this time is enough for Prime Minister Liang to face any doubts without shame.

Prime Minister Liang walked ahead with his hands behind his back, and He Chaoyang followed suit.

The prime minister didn't speak, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything.

When they reached a place that was fairly quiet, Premier Liang stopped in his tracks.

He Zhaoyang's heart tightened, knowing that the main event was coming.

"I heard that you conducted four drills in a row?"

"Yes."

"why?"

"Comrades from the Seismological Bureau reported that Annan had a few percent chance of an earthquake, and that too many problems were exposed in the first exercise. Even if we conducted it four times in a row, there would still be problems that could not be resolved when the earthquake occurred."

Prime Minister Liang nodded and said, "How did you know there would be an earthquake?"

"I don't know there will be an earthquake..." Seeing Premier Liang's eyes getting sharper and He Chaoyang's voice getting lower and lower, he glanced at the Prime Minister and said in a low voice: "I saw the report from the Earthquake Bureau I just found out."

"He Chaoyang, you still dare to lie to me."

"Prime Minister! I didn't!"

"You haven't?" Prime Minister Liang looked at him with a sinking face. "At least two years ago, you arranged for people to go to Ningbei to promote earthquake prevention. When did the Earthquake Bureau report come in?"

"This……"

"It was half a year ago?"

He Chaoyang stopped talking.

Prime Minister Liang stared at him for a long time, until He Chaoyang's forehead broke out in cold sweat. Could it be that Prime Minister Liang wanted to get to the bottom of it?No matter what the hell it is, I can't get through it!

If you really want to reveal the matter of rebirth, he will die!

Perhaps seeing He Chaoyang's uneasiness, Prime Minister Liang shook his head slightly.

"You did well this time."

"Ah?" He Chaoyang was dumbfounded, what does this mean?

Prime Minister Liang turned his back and looked at the victims who had already lit the stove and prepared breakfast. His tone was very calm, but the meaning revealed in the words made He Zhaoyang terrified.

"I don't care what channels you used to get the news of the Annan earthquake, but this time the more than 200 million people in Annan were able to avoid the catastrophe, and you have contributed a lot."

"Prime Minister, I..."

"For the four consecutive drills, you can make up a report for me."

He Chaoyang was stunned, Prime Minister Liang wanted to take this matter out?

He Chaoyang understands that now he is the hero who saved the lives of the people in Annan, but after this disaster is over, the large-scale exercises he conducted in Annan will definitely become the enemy's excuse to attack him.

Politics is so realistic, he is already mentally prepared.

But he didn't expect that the prime minister would...

"Prime Minister, you don't have to..."

The Prime Minister turned his back to him and waved his hand.

"You saved so many lives, I can't let you because of these..." The prime minister's voice paused, "You understand?"

He Chaoyang suppressed the excitement in his heart, and bowed slowly, "Thank you Prime Minister."
