History seemed to be a reincarnation. No one knew when or where something familiar had happened. Back then, Nanyang County was also hit by a snowstorm, and he was trapped deep in the mountains. It was still fresh in his memory. Today, the clock and the minute hand overlapped again, intertwining in history, but the roles had changed.
This time, the snowstorm was much worse than before, not to mention that it was nationwide. The disaster had spread to more than half of China. Long An was too small compared to the whole country, but it involved the lives and property of hundreds of thousands of farmers. As the "owner", he dared not slack off.
The terrain of Long An City was in the shape of a "Chuan". The Ten Thousand Dragon Mountain, Fushan Mountain, and Purple Gold Mountain formed a pincer attack, forming a semi-encirclement. The unique terrain created a unique environment, and the rainfall was higher than other places. Compared to the neighboring Qian An County, the disaster this time was much more severe.
Other than that, the villages were scattered like pearls in every corner. Most of them were built along the river valleys, roads, and the contour of the mountains. Many of them were built halfway up the mountains, deep in the mountains, and deep in the forests. The Fruit Village, which was under discussion, was located in the depths of Wanlong Mountain. It was more than an hour's drive from the town government, and even farther from the county.
The Fruit Village was not big, with dozens of people living there, most of them old, weak, sick, or disabled. Two days ago, Lu Yiwei had already told Huang Xiaonian to move the villagers to the foot of the mountain safely. It was not that they did not carry it out well, but that the villagers did not have a good idea. No matter how hard they tried to persuade them, they would not go down the mountain. Before they could take any measures, the snowstorm had already stopped the journey.
Lu Yiwei said solemnly, "The roads on the mountain are so narrow. Can the machinery go in? What's the use?"
Ye Huchen said, "As the snowfall increased, many trees were crushed. It is impossible to move them with manpower. Also, the terrain is complicated, so we don't dare to advance rashly."
Lu Yiwei thought for a long time and said, "Can't you even transfer a digging machine?"
"There are not many excavators in the county, and they are all used in other towns. We can only transfer them from Qian 'an County, but the situation there is not optimistic."
Lu Yiwei fell into silence again. After a long time, he picked up his phone and dialed Niu Fuyong's number. "Fuyong, I don't care what you do, but send me a few small excavators tonight. If the mine doesn't have them, you must buy them for me."
Before Niu Fuyong could react, the other party had already hung up. Lu Yiwei asked, "Have you gotten in touch with the Fruit Village?"
Shaking his head, Huang Xiaonian replied, "Not for the time being. The high-voltage cable is down, so I can't even get through to my phone. I had planned to send someone up the mountain, but the snow was half a man's height, so it was extremely dangerous, so … "
Lu Yiwei closed his eyes and silently smoked. After five minutes, he extinguished the cigarette and asked, "How much manpower do we have now?"
Huang Xiaonian said, "A few hundred people is not a problem."
"Alright, gather everyone immediately."
After that, he picked up his phone and dialed the number of the Armed Forces Minister, Shen Anren. "Minister Shen, transfer two platoons of armed police to Mount Wanlong immediately. We'll take action immediately."
Shen Anren frowned and said, "Secretary Lu, I've received your order. I've just transferred a platoon to Dachuan Village. Mr. Liu also asked for a platoon, and they're currently in Anxi Village to deal with the situation. Everyone that needs to be mobilized has been mobilized, and there's really no one left."
The situation was too big, and both his left and right hands were his own. No one was suitable. Lu Yiwei furrowed his brows. "Can't you think of any other way?"
"There's really nothing I can do on my side, unless I transfer people from the garrison."
Other than the armed police and fire brigade stationed in Long An County, there was also a mysterious troop codenamed 92334 stationed in Tongyuan Town in Long An County. Lu Yiwei did not have the time to visit them. This troop was so mysterious that outsiders had no idea what they were doing halfway up the mountain. Some said they were national defense troops, some said they were military factories, and some said they were food storage centers that provided logistical services and food security for the frontline troops.
According to Lu Yiwei's understanding, this troop was under the jurisdiction of a military region, and there was a battalion of troops stationed there. There were caves on the mountainside of Tongyuan Town, and they were all installed with large iron gates. As for what was stored inside, almost no one knew, and no one dared to ask. However, some people said that it was mainly wheat and corn, which were war supplies.
The armed police and fire brigade were all active soldiers, and they had to be approved by their superiors before they could be transferred. The county did not have the authority to transfer them. However, they were stationed in Long An County, and they still needed the convenience and services provided by the local government. When the government requested for manpower, the captain could communicate with his superiors, and it was not a big problem. However, under normal circumstances, no one dared to transfer this 92334 troop unless it was approved by the municipal military division.
After all, Lu Yiwei had not been here for long, and he was not familiar with the commander of the municipal military division. However, the situation was urgent, and he did not think too much. He immediately took out his phone and called Mayor Dong Xiaoning.
Dong Xiaoning was so busy that he felt dizzy. The entire city had entered a state of emergency, and almost every county was affected by the disaster. Among them, Qian 'an and Tong' an were the most severely affected. The situation in Long An wasn't optimistic either, but fortunately, it was under control, and there were no casualties for the time being. When she received Lu Yiwei's call, she felt a headache. She was afraid that something might have happened, so she asked, "What's wrong, Yiwei?"
But just when Lu Yiwei was about to speak, he immediately regretted it and said, "Mayor Dong, it's nothing. I'm just reporting to you about the situation in Long An. The county is fine, and there are no casualties for the time being. We're currently evacuating the victims."
Dong Xiaoning heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Currently, the situation in Long 'an City is the most optimistic. The measures you have taken are decisive and appropriate. However, you must not let your guard down. You must pay great attention to this matter.
"Okay, I'll do my best."
Dong Xiaoning continued, "The situation in Qian 'an is not optimistic. I've already communicated with Secretary Gan Liantang. If we can't get through to the main road by tonight, the city will take over and send troops to support. Do you really need it that much? "
"Uh … not for the time being."
"Okay, tell me if you need it. By the way, organize a team to be on standby as soon as possible. If necessary, go to Qian 'an and Tong' an counties immediately. "
"Okay."
"In addition, I've received a notice from the province. From tomorrow onwards, the whole province will start to limit the power supply in stages. Our province's power grid will be connected to the southern power grid to ensure the supply of power in the south. There are two power plants in your county. Immediately inform them to start generating power tonight. This is a strict order, and no one is allowed to disobey it. "
"Okay, I'll go to the power plant in a while."
"Okay, my call is coming in. I'll hang up."
