Chapter 71

On the fifth day of the chemical leak in Baishui Port, the two mayors of District VI and District III set up an on-site headquarters and an expert team at the same time.

Lou Kun took the lead and led the emergency department in the area to the area where the Baishui Port accident occurred. The investigation and emergency deployment were carried out together. While entrusting professional institutions to conduct sampling inspections of water quality and seafood, and arranging for relevant departments to investigate pollution accidents, the sponge was blocked and the local area was evacuated. Fishermen, do a good job as farmers, and compensate for the losses according to the results of the accident investigation.

When the general moves, the three armies follow.

An emergency notice was issued in the sea area under the jurisdiction, and the Agriculture, Forestry and Water Administration issued a suspension of the catch, sale and consumption.

The media no longer use "oil products" to confuse "hazardous chemicals", and release information as soon as possible to respond to public concerns.

In fact, if an environmental pollution accident like this endangers public health, if it was dealt with in time a few days ago, the accident loss could be minimized. Now even if the head of the government is fully responsible and all officials and people are united, what they can do is to remedy it.

Five days is enough for the poisonous gas to undergo a secondary reaction.

After gas inspection by experts, it was preliminarily concluded that this kind of chemical pollution would cause acute poisoning if inhaled for a short period of time, ranging from dizziness, headache, nausea and vomiting to unstable walking, and severe coma, convulsions, circulatory failure and even death.

The public complained, and Lou Kun took the lead, saying that the freedom of speech of the public should be protected, and the Internet should not be blocked or deleted.

There is no perfect person in the world, and there is no perfect thing. Naturally, it is even more impossible for the coordination ability of the management of the relevant departments to satisfy everyone.For a while, the public opinion was surging, and it turned against the sky.

After that, the grassroots posts in the former Baishui Port were full of anger.

The bureaucracy is superfluous, and a bunch of officials, big and small, are suspected of administrative disorder. The matter can't be solved, and they can only wait to be dealt with.

When Su Xian mentioned this matter in the communication, Ling Yan was worried, he hesitated to speak, and after thinking for a while, he only said that you must pay attention to safety.

This woman is bloody and loyal, and when everyone can't react in time, she goes into the disaster area without any fear.Not accepting temptations, not afraid of threats - such a person, as many people admire her, as many people want to get rid of her.

Su Xian just said to Ling Yan, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go to District XXI to pick up my daughter during this time, so I will entrust her to you."

Ling Yan nodded, saying don't worry.

Ling Yan's worry was right. From the dark place that he couldn't see, there were already countless voices saying that it was a female reporter surnamed Su from District VI who had been exposed, and she must look good this time.

On the sixth day, the Baishui Port drug leakage incident was rated as a major sudden environmental incident by experts.

The situation became more and more uncontrollable, and Lou Kun was unable to support himself, so he asked the capital to transfer people, money, and materials.

When Ling Yan heard about it, he immediately responded from a distance, running around the capital for this matter.

In the Emergency Disaster Response Agency, Ling Yandao made clear his intention, and the minister showed embarrassment, saying sorry, saying that District III and VI applied for preparation funds at the same time, but the typhoon was imminent, and there was only 30 billion emergency allocations in the department, and this time there was a forecast of level 4 A hurricane may cause tens of billions of damage after landfall, and he cannot use this money for the loss of a fishing port.

Ling Yan looked at her speechlessly.

The minister was frightened by him, hesitated for a while, and then said that if the congressman really needed it, she could reluctantly transfer 5 million to District VI first, and I am afraid there will be no more. If he applies for a proposal from Congress, it may be better than getting it from her. Arrive more.

The head of the Emergency Management Agency was careful and patient, and when he talked to Ling Yan, he was like an accountant who wanted to have a long talk with him.

Every minute and every second after the disaster is precious, Ling Yanxin said that even if he personally implements a congressional proposal, it will take at least a week, otherwise he would have to come here to hear her say you are sorry?

Knowing that she was in a difficult situation, Ling Yan only said that 5 million would be fine, and without stopping any longer, he turned the doorknob and was about to go out.

"But Mr. Senator..."

The minister behind him hesitated to speak, but he still asked when he left, "It may be a bit presumptuous to say this, but this is the job of the head of the constituency. You belong to the central faction of the Congress. Why are you so concerned?"

Ling Yan frowned, and turned around to ask, "When my compatriots are in trouble, as an official elected by the people, why do I still have to be asked for my help now?"

Just as he was coming out of the EMS, a communication from the Prime Minister called him to his office at Westminster Palace.

The first sentence he said when he entered the door, he said that he had just urgently allocated 10 billion from the Ministry of Finance to solve the pollution incident, and the central disaster relief could be contacted by someone appointed by Ling Yan in person.Then he said that the public opinion about this incident was raging, which had already affected the image of the party and this election. He had to pay attention to the impact and consider the consequences. If it continued to spread, it would cause panic among the people.

This is a very heavy sentence.

Ling Yan's blood suddenly turned cold.

He hung his head, and said he was sorry, that he had been impulsive.

Those who obey prosper, those who oppose perish.

Ling Yan has been promoted in the official career for so many years, what he can do and what he can't do, he is actually very clear in his heart.

And as the prime minister said, the timing is so good that he can't really risk the prime minister's campaign.The main reason is that this is not just about the Prime Minister alone, but also about him personally. He has already joined his campaign team, which means that once he wins in the future, he will be all honored, and he will definitely have a place in the next leadership.

Time, opportunity, family background, people's support, he is in the limelight now, and he has just married the Qi family of Meitou. Maybe at the end of the year, at worst, he can join the cabinet.

Promotion also depends on timing. God will not give him such a good opportunity within ten years. No matter how he competes with the management committee in the future, this is a step he must climb.

But now, he can't scuttle his own ship and destroy the Great Wall himself.

Ling Yan has always been aware of current affairs, and seeing the slight change in his expression, the Prime Minister knew that he had figured it out, so he put on a pleasant face and said with concern, "Go and do your work, after all, the disaster is imminent."

Walking out of the prime minister's office, Ling Yan only felt that he was completely different from when he came in.

He bit his lip, as if he'd lost something just a few minutes ago.

15 billion, two districts, a drop in the bucket.

Every step he took in the majestic and majestic Westminster Palace had the sound of history. He suddenly felt a little dizzy and staggered like hypoglycemia, so he hurriedly supported the brick wall beside him.

Qi Siming had returned to America to vote, and he suddenly missed him and wanted to talk to him, then he leaned against the wall, raised his head, and started calling Qi Siming almost desperately like a relapsed drug addict.

.

In disaster-stricken areas, donations for disaster relief come first.

The person in charge of the capital matched the bridge, and the donation was directly connected to the two mayors of Districts III and VI.The first donation came from Xia Chuncao, the chief executive of Meitou, and then Meitou organized the chaebols in District XXI to raise charitable donations. A total of 35 billion was donated within three days. set off.

The local media in District VI seemed to wake up suddenly from a deep sleep. They actively and comprehensively reported the rescue situation in District VI to the whole country. Lou Kun ate and lived with the rescuers for several days, and his slovenly appearance made headlines. The public admired it and praised it .

The public sentiment is exciting.

Ling Yanyuan heard the good news in the capital, knowing that everything was going in a good direction, he felt relieved.

He was really afraid of hearing about Su Xian.

He didn't want to hear it, not at all, and he didn't want to see any progress in the disaster area through the eyes of a reporter who could see through all the suffering.

On a rainy night, he didn't turn on the light, but quietly watched Su Xian's communication request pop up on the notebook over and over again. After three times, Su Xian gave up and started typing.

She said that she was in Area III during this time, and Baggett seized the relief supplies, concealed it strictly, and did not let the ship enter the port at all.Facing the public, they only said that there were not enough resources in all aspects, and they kept asking for an increase, and then hinted in every possible way that District III did not have a husband's family like Meitou in District VI, and no one was rich and powerful.

Ling Yan searched on the Internet and clicked on the recent public speech by Baggett. He just said that the ecological environment is the starting point and relying point of food safety. Planning is bound to fail.

Ling Yan watched with cold eyes. "Boai Pharmaceutical" was built by Boqi Biaotiao, that is, in District VI. He was throwing the pot away, saying that District III suffered an indiscriminate disaster, and he cleaned himself up inside and out. Shameless especially.

Su Xian typed: Not only did Baggett not release supplies, but even the disaster relief personnel dispatched from various military regions did not equip them with protective measures and let them go into the sea to clean up the highly toxic pollution.Now many people have entered the hospital for treatment, but the cleaning is still going on. The newly replaced fish steaks have been corroded. The smell is now even two layers of medical masks can't hide it. Without professional gas masks and supporting equipment, it is really a big deal. of……

Ling Yan couldn't bear it anymore, dialed Su Xian's communication, and said in the first sentence, "Baget is a parent after all, why should he do this? Spread rumors, Su Xian, you have to be cautious."

Su Xian connected immediately without any fear.

She calmly said, "Baggett is for the construction of City 3.0."

Ling Yan's face suddenly changed, "Nonsense!"

"Without this pollution, Baggett would not be able to use the low subsidy policy to force the villagers to demolish their houses and relocate. He wants to unify the planning of industrial areas and promote Smart City 3.0. This accident is God helping him, as long as he spends a little time If you procrastinate for a while, the desperate people in this area will inevitably compromise—what responsibility does he have? A pollution incident that does not require him to be held accountable, even if he is investigated in the future, it can be said that he was negligent for a while, but in the end, he can realize it. Resounding achievement!"

In the distance, there was a series of lightning bolts, and there was a burst of roaring thunder.

Ling Yan's temple suddenly hissed with pain, he raised his hand, and pressed it hard with his index finger.

Human life is like a mustard, knocking the bones and sucking the marrow.There are too many predators of the jungle on this land.

What is he to blame?Is it because there is no Lou Kun in District III?

At that moment, Ling Yan felt that he and Su Xian were separated by thousands of mountains and seas.

He clenched his fist and he said sorry.

Just like the Capital Emergency Response Agency said sorry to him, he said sorry to Su Xian, saying that he couldn't help her anymore.He didn't say that he had done his best to help, but he said that the incident in Area III was not his home field, and he couldn't command flexibly at all.

Su Xian still wanted to fight for it, saying that he didn't need his help in the end, and only needed to find an opportunity to expose him.

Although the media in the capital has spoken out, many details have not been disclosed, such as the handling of the III government, the assessment of the marine ecological environment in Zone III, and the assessment of the loss of the breeding industry. None of the media has specifically announced the name of the chemical, but only said it was benzene. The surrounding area was darkened by the locals, and there was no specific name, and they did not know what measures should be taken to protect health and the environment.

In the end, she said that sufficient information is the most effective means to curb the evil government, just one word from him, and the public opinion will tell the truth.

Ling Yan looked at her in despair, and said that she was sympathetic, and that her ambition was commendable. He understood the truth, but he couldn't.

The turbulent public opinion has already had a very bad impact on the current situation.

He has just received news from the Propaganda Department, saying that this matter has come to an end, and the matter cannot be expanded.Tomorrow there will be an official test report, and the two districts have refused to announce the names of specific chemicals so far, which already explains the problem.

Before he could finish his sentence, he only heard a knock on the door from Su Xian's side.

Su Xian showed discouragement, but he still didn't give up, he just said to wait for her to open the door.

Ling Yan didn't expect that it was Liu Song who came.

The glamorous and well-born Minister Liu Song appeared in the simple hotel where Su Xian lived temporarily. This scene was really out of harmony.

Bold rhetoric and low-cut dresses, against the mainstream, against mediocrity, statistics show that Liu Song is the most popular publicity official in the past ten years, and because of her photogenic image, she is often mentioned alongside Ling Yan, known as The "golden boy and jade girl" of the capital officials.

Seeing Liu Song enter the door, regardless of the wet hair, when he saw Su Xian, he held her arm and watched with concern.

Quickly asked, "How are you hurt?"

Ling Yan's eyebrows twitched.

During the conversation between the two of them, he heard that Su Xian entered the disaster area of ​​Zone III regardless of his personal safety today, was beaten by a policeman, and suffered some injuries.

Liu Song didn't notice Ling Yan who was still online, and immediately said after looking at the wound, "Be sober, poison gas can't be reported, do you still want to live? The fisherman took money from 'Boai', I don't know How many people are going to drop their lawsuits, why should you fight for them, why should you be tough with them?"

She wants to protect her.

She wanted to ask her to judge the time and act after consideration.

"Sue the pharmaceutical company, whether it is an administrative lawsuit, if you fight for three, five, ten, or 20 years, you won't win! They might as well accept Baggett's conditions, accept some compensation and live in another place - J State Nuclear Power The accident, the local environment is still an irreversible disaster, the situation is not known how much more serious than this, the villagers and the nuclear power company have fought a lawsuit for more than 20 years, and finally reached the Supreme Court, the villagers lost the case! Qian took the microphone and kept protesting against the propaganda, kept shouting, no one stopped her, but it was useless! Do you understand?!"

She was telling her, you have to believe that power is justice!

Might is justice!

"Then you have to leave it like this? Do you still remember that you are the deputy minister of publicity for the people of the whole country?"

Liu Song stroked his hair irritably, "Experts have checked it, it's all right, it's not that serious..."

"9 tons!" Su Xian raised his voice, "Let's talk about toxicity without dosage, Liu Song, are you going to play hooligan with me?!"

Liu Song also got angry, "So what about being a hooligan? As long as I can stop you from doing stupid things, I want to knock you out and take you away now! Su Xian, let me tell you too, don't read the social apology channel of 'Boai Pharmaceutical' I burst into tears. The apologies of various social institutions in this society count as one, and none of them are really apologizing! People who have done wrong in this era, let alone guilt, they don’t even reflect on it. Their only The mental activity is nothing more than lamenting that I have a bad year, and today is unlucky! - The capital's official manuscript will be released in a few hours, and the press spokesperson is already in place! I just finished reviewing on the plane - I can tell you, The review, accountability, and accountability have been done, and the level of investigation has been determined. The attachment is a report jointly written by several well-known biotoxicity experts, and the leaked components were detected as weak chemicals— —Su Xian, I beg you, this is the end of the matter, can you let it go?!"

Liu Song is the mouthpiece of the capital's official media.

Like Ling Yan, she understands the sensitivity of this moment and understands all the political situations.She knows that this statement not only involves her work in the next term, but also her reputation.

If the country is not peaceful and the people are uneasy at this time, how can you teach her how to sing praises and follow the steps?

Liu Song is begging her, she is saying that the fake manuscript that the official says is not too polluting is about to be released, and the report written by the "Brick House" is about to be published, this world is just like this bastard, I beg you, let's forget it .

Once upon a time, professionals should have established biotoxicological models in major disasters to assess possible poisoning and health risks. This is not only a reference for politicians to formulate policies, but also to ensure that victims can survive the health damage caused by pollution. Get compensation.

But now, the so-called "science" has compromised with the "big picture".

In other words, the government and experts intend to stand aside and say: This water is not poisonous, this water is drinkable, the fish died because they were too happy, and you got sick because your body was not healthy.How can this matter have anything to do with me?

An ordinary move, but the deadliest.

In other words, after that, all the complaints and defenses of the people have no legitimacy.

If you force your voice, it means you don't know what is good or bad, if you complain about suffering, it means you are rebellious.

You didn't even give Su Xian a look, and said coldly, "Okay, then get out."

Ling Yan felt that Liu Song was about to cry.

Finally she went out, but before she left, she tore off the necklace around her neck, threw it on Su Xian, and said, "I can't protect you anymore, you and your 'news ideal' go there."

At that moment, Ling Yan really had the feeling of what is today and what is going on.

He didn't know when Liu Song had such a deep relationship with Su Xian. He only knew that at the beginning, Liu Song didn't know Su Xian, but because of the Sophia incident, he paid a little attention to Su Xian, but he was already in front of him. She praised repeatedly.

She said that her manuscripts are "passionate and tenacious, extremely rational and objective, screening information quickly and accurately, and writing articles well."

He could tell that she valued Su Xian's character, admired Su Xian's talent, and respected Su Xian's courage.

She said that this is the real reporter of this era, the real media person.

When it comes to his own work, Liu Song always shakes his head and says "difficult", saying that they have cumbersome rules and regulations, that they ask for instructions in advance, report after the event, submit important manuscripts for review, and are not allowed to criticize their peers. , foreign-related incidents can not speak casually.

Only then did he realize that what Liu Song envied most was Su Xian's freedom.

She knew everything, but she didn't have the freedom to tell the truth, and she didn't have the freedom to insist on right and wrong, justice and justice.

Just because freedom in this world has an extraordinary price and needs to be borne.

It is said that you think twice when you are an official, but Ling Yan and Liu Song are actually the same.

These people are not worthy of talking about freedom.

When Su Xian hung up the communication, he was also exhausted.

At that moment, she no longer had any hope for Ling Yan in her eyes. She said the last sentence, "I only hate that I hold a pen instead of being an official in the court. Instant change!"
