Time always flies, especially when things are urgent.
It seems like just a blink of an eye, April has passed.
For Chen Nian's safety, his superiors persuaded him to leave several times, but Chen Nian refused every time.
It's not because he insists on "standing with the majority of people" pedantically, but because his intuition tells him that the crisis will be successfully overcome.
The possibility of such a "miracle" happening does not exist.
Although the probability is very small, you have to fight for it.
Inside an airport.
Chen Nian stood in front of a Mi-26 helicopter with obvious regret in his eyes.
He looked at Chen Guo standing aside and said:
"You have to be honest, I'm still an old man, you can make this kind of thing."
"Moreover, the Mi-26 was produced thirty years ago, but even now, it is the world's top and most advanced large transport helicopter."
"You can imagine how developed the old Soviet military industry was at that time."
"It is a pity that such a powerful country, which had the opportunity to carry the banner of human unity, fell like this."
“Not only did they fail, but they also had no successors.”
"Aren't we?"
Chen Guo asked teasingly.
".I'm talking about immediate family members. We and him are at best brothers with different surnames, and we are the ones who have had big conflicts."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this - are all the planes in place? How many are there in total?"
"There are a total of 6 Mi-26s, and there are nearly 40 helicopters of various types transferred from various places. According to previous estimates, as long as there is no large-scale damage to roads or buildings, these helicopters should be enough, and at most It’s just a matter of flying a few more sorties.”
Chen Nian looked around and saw that the entire airport was full of helicopters. The scene was quite spectacular.
The only fly in the ointment is that these helicopters are of all kinds of strange shapes and colors. The only ones that are relatively neat are the Mi-26s parked in a row.
This also reflects China’s current weakness in the helicopter field.
It is no exaggeration to say that in China these days, even if they spend all their money, they still cannot put together a complete army aviation group.
Thinking of this, he asked again:
"How is our own heavy-lift helicopter project going? Is it going well?"
"It seems to be going smoothly so far, and there are basically no obstacles. But of course, it is impossible to make it in time."
"For this project, we will definitely not be able to use our own heavy-duty helicopters."
"I didn't expect to use it right away."
Chen Nian replied calmly.
He reached out and touched the red-painted fuselage of the Mi-26, thought for a moment and then said:
"The cabin dismantling work must be carried out as soon as possible. At least two aircraft must be dismantled and specially used for large mechanical hoisting purposes."
"If an uncontrollable situation occurs and the large machinery deployed there is not enough, whether new equipment can be brought in quickly will determine whether many people can survive."
"Understood, we have already communicated. It is not difficult to disassemble. It can be solved in one day."
"That's fine."
Chen Nian nodded slightly, and then continued to ask:
"Have the action personnel been arranged? What reasons will be used and who will coordinate?"
"Organizations at all levels are responsible for it. The personnel have been arranged. The reason is designated as an exercise. We have done publicity and preparation in the early stage, so there is not much problem in organizing it."
"The only trouble now is that there is indeed a certain amount of panic among the people, thinking that we are going to war."
"But there's nothing you can do about it. Let's choose the lesser of two evils. Once we've passed this level, we can explain it slowly."
"Well, I'm not professional in this area, so I won't participate in the discussion."
…
Do reasons matter?
In fact, it doesn't matter at all. The reason why it is designated as an exercise is just to slightly enhance the persuasiveness.
Chen Guo's words of "explain slowly after passing this level" may sound a bit perfunctory, but in fact, this is the best way to deal with the aftermath.
Seeing Chen Nian's slightly anxious expression, Chen Guo reached out and patted his shoulder and comforted him:
"Don't worry, we have been preparing for a long time."
"Everything is going according to plan."
Chen Nian sighed and said:
"hope so."
this day.
For Chen Nian, this is a day that will never be forgotten.
On this day, Chen Nian strangely lost the nervousness he had before, and instead felt an indescribable sense of loneliness.
He knew the source of this loneliness very well - because in the world he was in now, no one could understand that heart-wrenching memory as deeply as he did.
He cannot speak to others.
But more than anything, I'm glad.
Thinking of this, Chen Nian calmed down.
In the emergency command room, everyone nervously stared at the big screen in the center of the command room.
According to Chen Nian's opinion, this work adopted a novel visual presentation method.
Each area and each unit enters information into the system in advance to create a file, and imports it into a simple program preset in advance.
The program is connected to major operators and is authorized to capture SMS messages through dedicated number segments.
In this way, all front-line executors at the lower level only need to remember a few simple passwords to quickly report on-site situations to the headquarters.
At this moment, what is displayed on the big screen is the collected information.
The "Started" rate is 100%, the Completed rate is 0%, and the Executing rate is 69%.
The completion ratio is low, but that's not because there's anything wrong with the execution.
In fact, this is a plan deliberately made by organizations at all levels after discussions.
The warm-up time is long, but the actual action time is very short, maybe only a few minutes.
And these few minutes are just stuck at the moment when the crisis arrives.
Such a strategy can be said to be radical, but it also represents the executives' complete confidence in the organization.
This kind of confidence allows them to take a chance and use the most extreme solution to try to save everyone's life without having to consider the so-called trolley problem.
In the seat closest to the big screen, a middle-aged man with gray hair stared at the screen with a stern expression, silently calculating the data on it.
After thinking briefly, he asked:
“Have you acted in advance for the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled and other groups with limited mobility?”
"It's done. You can see the lower-level menu. The completion is 100%."
The executive secretary replied from the side.
"This part of the plan is in separate rows, and the buffer time reserved is relatively long."
"Okay. How are the equipment and personnel prepared?"
"It is on standby and can act at any time. In addition, the troops we have stationed are also ready and equipped with equipment."
"Where are the supplies? How is the situation at the local warehouse?"
"All local warehouses have been reinforced and are under the supervision of dedicated personnel arranged by us. There are sufficient supplies. We currently have 5 days of supplies in reserve. The supply chain has been opened. If needed in the future, each warehouse can be replenished with supplies within 6 hours. "
"In the most extreme case, these supplies can enter the disaster area entirely via air routes, and the average daily delivery volume can meet the needs of 2 million people."
Hearing this, the white-haired man nodded slightly.
Afterwards, he checked the execution of all tasks again. After confirming that there were no errors or omissions, he took a deep breath and said:
"Everything is ready."
"Next, it depends on the performance of the geological shield over there."
The executive secretary opposite nodded slightly and said:
"Hope God help us."
The man shook his head and said firmly:
"God can't help us, we have to help ourselves!"
at the same time.
All residents in the town had been evacuated days in advance, involving a large-scale mobilization of thousands of people, and no one had much "experience" or "know-how".
The personnel responsible for carrying out the evacuation mission could only explain the situation to the residents over and over again and take them away from their hometowns.
It is inevitable to encounter resistance. Even if the superiors have made it clear to the residents through various means the need to evacuate, there are still some people who do not believe in evil and want to see with their own eyes "what you can do to me if I don't leave."
For such people, the working group can only use the last resort:
Take it away directly.
No matter what your reasons are, or how you want to complain, in short, no one can be left in this town.
Let’s wait until this day passes to discuss all issues.
This method sounds a bit tough and arrogant, but it is only with this method that this small town can be completely evacuated within a few days.
Zheng Jiuyuan was walking on the streets of the small town. The originally bustling streets had now become extremely deserted.
Looking around, all shops and houses are closed, and even water and electricity have been cut off.
Zhong Jian on the side checked the last private house and confirmed that no one was stranded anymore, then turned to Zheng Jiuyuan and said:
"After the investigation, it's time for us to leave."
"There's still more than an hour, just in time to evacuate."
Zheng Jiuyuan nodded, turned around and took Zhong Jian into the off-road vehicle parked on the roadside.
The vehicle started, leaving the city behind them.
In Zheng Jiuyuan's heart, it was definitely not just this city that was left behind.
Chen Nian sat quietly in his office, waiting for that moment to arrive.
His eyes were fixed on the time on the watch, and as the hands beat, his heart seemed to keep up with the rhythm of the second hand.
In the last ten seconds, Chen Nian subconsciously closed his eyes and reached out to hold the table.
Due to human instinct, it is impossible for him not to panic.
He even felt a little nauseous and couldn't help but retching.
As time passed, his mood became more and more tense.
The blood vessels on his forehead were throbbing, and his eyeballs were also a little swollen and painful.
This reaction lasted for a long time, so long that Chen Nian even suspected that he had remembered the wrong time.
He couldn't help but open his eyes, and when he looked at his watch that day, he was surprised to find that a full three minutes had passed.
Are you kidding me?
no feelings?
Chen Nian was surprised at first, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
This is best.
Even if his misjudgment did result in a waste of resources, at least no one would die.
Xinghuo can afford this loss of wasted resources.
Thinking of this, he picked up his phone and planned to explain the situation to Chen Guo first.
However, the moment he put his finger on the button, the phone rang.
The caller was Chen Guo.
Chen Nian answered the phone, and before he could speak, he heard Chen Guo on the other end say:
"coming."
"It's all destroyed over there, and it's also more serious on the county side."
"But we are here"
"There has been no impact."
