Chapter 411 Saving lives is like putting out a fire
Xiao Zhikai was heading to the city.
With such an incident occurring in the county, he had no choice but to order the driver to turn around and return to the county committee.
On the way, he called the county fire brigade.
"The fire department?"
I am Xiao Zhikai, the county party secretary.
A serious disaster has occurred in Xiaotang Town, our county.
According to relevant regulations, in the event of a serious disaster or accident, the county party secretary may serve as the commander-in-chief to coordinate all parties involved.
County Head Chen Dawei and Ye Xiangju from the Industrial Department are currently trapped underground by the landslide.
The situation is extremely urgent.
I order you to immediately organize all forces and rush to the disaster site for rescue operations.
On-site tactical command is the responsibility of a professional fire commander.
This order is hereby issued.
Have you received it?
The firefighter on the other end of the line was shaking; he had never encountered anything this serious since he started working.
Normally, I'm either rescuing cats or dealing with gas cylinders.
He was afraid that Secretary Zhikai wouldn't hear him, so he shouted loudly, "Comrade Secretary!"
Firefighter Chen Zhian has fully received this message and will immediately report it to the captain!
We can deploy in three minutes.
Xiao Zhikai breathed a sigh of relief: "Very good, I'll be there shortly. Please be quick, very quick!"
"yes--"
After hanging up the phone, the young firefighter pressed the alarm bell.
Since the county party secretary personally came to make the assessment, there is no need to confirm whether the disaster situation is accurate.
Then he ran all the way to report to the captain.
The captain took immediate action and established a rescue command group, with himself serving as the group leader and remaining with the team to coordinate and direct operations.
The deputy captain was responsible for leading the team to the disaster site in Xiaotang Town, and served as the on-site commander.
After making this arrangement, Xiao Zhikai immediately contacted the county government's emergency office.
The emergency response office and the fire department are not in a superior-subordinate relationship; their roles are different.
The Emergency Management Office is a government administrative agency responsible for macro-management, policy formulation, and resource coordination; it is the brain of the emergency response system.
Fire brigades are professional rescue forces, managed in a quasi-military manner, and are the spearhead and main force in disaster response.
To put it simply, the emergency response office coordinates and provides support from the rear, while the fire brigade carries out rescue operations and focuses on hands-on practice.
"Emergency Office?"
I am Xiao Zhikai.
A landslide occurred in Xiaotang Town.
The county magistrate and Director Ye were deeply involved.
The county fire department has been dispatched.
I order you to immediately activate the emergency response and rescue mechanism to assist the fire department in carrying out the rescue operation.
We must do a good job in risk monitoring, cross-departmental coordination and scheduling, and coordination of social resources.
Saving lives is like putting out a fire.
"Get everyone moving!"
At this point, Secretary Zhikai used the word "command".
This is treating the emergency response office and the fire brigade differently.
The county party committee and county government have no authority to directly order the fire brigade.
The head of the emergency response office answered the phone, his heart sank, and he hurriedly replied, "Received."
After hanging up the phone, the head of the emergency response office did not take immediate action, but instead paced back and forth in his office.
This person was promoted during Zhou Xiangzhang's tenure.
After hesitating, I dialed the landline of Qi Dahai, the full-time deputy secretary of the county party committee.
Qi Dahai and Zhou Xiangzhang were allies in the past.
Now that Xiao Zhikai is not in the county, Chen Dawei is in deep crisis.
The person in charge at the county level is naturally this full-time deputy.
Moreover, the head of the emergency response office and Qi Dahai had a good personal relationship.
At a critical juncture.
The head of the emergency response office then had an idea.
I thought I should still ask Qi Dahai for instructions.
If Qi Dahai were to cause trouble, then he, as the head of the emergency response office, could cooperate. If the trouble succeeded, he would be a hero.
He hung up the phone as soon as it connected, thinking it would be better to talk in person.
So he quickly walked out of the office, went to the county party committee office floor, and knocked on Qi Dahai's door.
"Secretary Qi!"
"What's wrong, Lao Huang? Why are you in such a hurry?"
The director of the emergency response office leaned over and whispered a report to Qi Dahai.
Upon hearing this, Qi Dahai's eyelids jerked open, his eyes staring blankly at the wall: "Buried?"
"It should be, but there's no specific information from the front yet."
"Then hurry up and go!"
"Secretary Qi..." Director Huang of the Emergency Management Office frowned at the other party, not daring to speak plainly: "If he's already dead, we can go, but if he's not dead..."
"So what if you're not dead?"
"He didn't die, and we brought him back to life... Well then... you must..."
That's the point.
If Dawei were to die, Xiao Zhikai, as the top official of the county party committee, would also bear an unshirkable responsibility.
Especially at the county standing committee meeting this morning, Xiao Zhikai strongly recommended that Dawei take the position of commander of the flood control and drought relief headquarters.
As a result, David died in less than a day?
What will outsiders think?
It was Xiao Zhikai's right to sit in this position, but he insisted on letting Dawei, the county magistrate, do it. Then, after only one day in office, Dawei died.
Those who don't know the details might inevitably speculate that Xiao Zhikai disliked Dawei and deliberately set a trap to frame him.
This association is impossible to resist.
Therefore, if Dawei gets into trouble, Xiao Zhikai will inevitably be implicated.
In that case, both the top two officials in the county are in trouble...
So next... wouldn't Qi Dahai be the top choice for the positions of county party secretary and county head?
But if Chen Dawei were to come back to life, he would be a sword hanging over the heads of Qi Dahai and the others.
Although we are not currently settling scores with Qi Dahai and other former subordinates of Zhou Xiangzhang.
But what about the future?
That's hard to say.
Moreover, with Dawei alive, Xiao Zhikai's position is secure. From now on, promotions in the county will be decided by Chen Dawei, and Qi Dahai will just be a figurehead with no chance of advancement.
Life and death.
Which one is more advantageous to Qi Dahai?
This is obvious.
"That person is really strange, incredibly lucky..."
He escaped death several times.
What if he survives this time...
If we don't save him, he'll definitely kill us later.
"With his personality, he'd be asking for trouble if I saved him."
Director Huang covered his mouth with his hand and said softly, "It's not that we won't save him."
If we don't go to rescue them, outsiders will hold us accountable.
The rescue must be carried out scientifically, diligently, and systematically…
To put it bluntly, it's just stalling and pretending.
Make sure that outsiders have nothing to say.
Pretending to work hard is something they're masters at.
Qi Dahai pursed his lips and gritted his teeth: "Use someone to create a space."
You don't need to operate it directly.
Wu Maocai made a phone call to Chen Zhongxiang, a member of the county people's congress, earlier that morning.
It is said that the proposal was made to remove Zhou, the mayor of Xiaotang Town.
Old Zhou taking leave during the flood season to go home and take care of his old sow is quite a jerk.
But this club has a good personality; it's a bit stubborn and headstrong, which makes it very useful.
Director Huang immediately understood the superior's meaning.
This is an attempt to provoke Lao Zhou, forcing him, who is already on the verge of a precipice, to fight to the death.
"I'll take care of it right away."
"First, organize manpower to send mineral water, bread, tents, and the like to Xiaotang Town. Don't make it seem like you're doing nothing."
"What about heavy machinery?" Director Huang asked. "The mountain road has collapsed. Without heavy machinery, nothing can get up there."
"The fire department is the frontline commander. If there's no demand from the front, why are you panicking?"
"The leader is truly brilliant!"
