The wind rose, and the wind was strong. Snowflakes danced in the air, rolling up layers of snow and sand that passed through the forest, making sharp noises. Together with the mournful cries that buried the scene, it was like the mourning music of the season. The entire Thousand Dragon Mountain, and even the entire Divine Great Land, was shrouded in white terror.
Ma Feifei was a woman after all, and she was inexperienced. She didn't know what to do. More and more people rushed forward to save the injured. They didn't listen to orders at all.
"Yiwei, where is Yiwei?"
Ma Feifei looked around and found him in an inconspicuous corner. She immediately called him over. "Yiwei, what should we do now?"
Lu Yiwei looked around and said with concern, "Is it appropriate?"
"Why do you care so much? Tell me."
Lu Yiwei calmly analyzed the situation and said, "Mayor Ma, I suggest that we let the public security officers go forward to maintain order. If necessary, we can fire a warning shot. We must let everyone retreat and wait for reinforcements."
Ma Feifei turned to Gan Liantang and said, "Did you hear that? Follow Yiwei's suggestion immediately."
Gan Liantang quickly ordered a large number of public security officers to rush to the front line. They fired seven or eight shots in a row to control the situation. Even so, the crowd and the police officers were still confronting each other. "You bastards! Someone is buried under the ground. Why don't you hurry up and let us save him? Are you doing things for the people? Are you serving the people?"
Hearing the ear-piercing sound was torturous, but no one dared to make an accurate judgment. Ma Feifei relied more on the experienced Lu Yiwei and didn't trust anyone else. She said, "What should we do next?"
Lu Yiwei's identity was a little awkward. He was not in his own territory, but he was commanding for someone else. Although it was important to save people, it was not politically appropriate. Gan Liantang must have his own ideas. This was Qian An County. How could he be so incompetent? After all, he had been the secretary of the County party committee for many years. He was more experienced than Ma Feifei. Xiong Zhonghua also felt disgusted when he made the wrong judgment just now. His own family was in a mess, but he came here to show off … Maybe he shouldn't even be here.
Ma Feifei asked again. Lu Yiwei bit the bullet and said, "We can only wait now. Why don't you ask the military?"
Ma Feifei immediately turned to Xiong Zhonghua and said, "Call Commander Wang, I'll talk to him personally."
As they spoke, a roar came from the other side of the mountain, followed by three helicopters. They hovered in the air for a long time before landing on an open space. Then, more than a dozen soldiers jumped off the plane and quickly gathered. Under the leadership of a tall man, they rushed to the scene.
"Mayor Ma, this is Wang He, a member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee and the commander of the military division."
Ma Feifei looked at him carefully and raised her voice. "Commander Wang, I'm now giving you a political mission on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee. Quickly gather your team, take appropriate measures, and do your best to rescue the trapped people. Is there a problem?"
Wang He gave a military salute and said in a loud and clear voice, "Mayor Ma, please rest assured that we will complete the mission."
"Alright, let's go."
Wang He immediately turned around and issued an order to the soldiers who had come with him. With that order, they ran into the avalanche site. Soon, a few large trucks also arrived. More than 20 soldiers jumped off the trucks and quickly joined the rescue operation.
The troops had arrived, and Lu Yiwei's mission was completed. He had wanted to greet Ma Feifei, but seeing how focused she was, he did not want to disturb her. He walked up to Shi Xiaoman and said, "Xiaoman, I'll go back first. I'll inform Mayor Ma later."
Shi Xiaoman said anxiously, "You can't go. What if Mayor Ma comes looking for you later?"
"I have to go back. Long An also needs to conduct a thorough investigation. We can't afford to have similar accidents happen again."
"Alright, take care on the way back."
Lu Yiwei quietly left the scene. Just as he was about to drive out of Qian 'an District, Ma Feifei called him. "Yiwei, why did you leave without saying goodbye? What will happen to this place if you leave?"
Lu Yiwei smiled bitterly. "Mayor Ma, I think I've overshadowed you. After all, I'm not Qian 'an's County Party Committee Secretary. With you and Mayor Xiong's command, there shouldn't be a problem. "
Ma Feifei did not think about this and said, "No matter which County Party Committee Secretary you are, this is a matter of life and death. I don't care who can take command. Come back now. I need you."
Lu Yiwei rejected her politely. Ma Feifei understood his concerns and said, "What should I do next?"
As the mayor of a city, Lu Yiwei was not happy that he was asking him for help. He thought for a while and said, "Use a helicopter to transport the rescued patients out. Let's save people's lives first. As for the aftermath, let the local government take care of it. "
"Alright. When you go back, keep a close eye on Long An. We will not allow anything like this to happen again."
It was already noon when he returned to Long An. He did not have a good rest last night, so he was listless and exhausted. He did not even have an appetite. After a casual meal, he dragged his heavy body to the office.
Xu Changyuan knocked on the door and came in. He reported the inspection results in the morning. The staff at all levels were basically able to stick to their posts, and there was a general shortage of disaster relief supplies.
"How big is the shortage?"
"Quite a lot. For example, Dachuan Village and Liuwan Village. The people who were moved down from the mountains are temporarily living in schools. The schools do not have heating, and there is a shortage of supplies. Many people are cold and hungry, and are clamoring to go home."
Lu Yiwei frowned and squinted at him. "Then where did the distributed supplies go?"
"This …"
"Don't hide it. Tell me the truth."
Xu Changyuan plucked up his courage and said, "As far as I know, some villages and towns did not distribute supplies."
Slap!
Lu Yiwei slammed the table and said angrily, "Why not?"
Xu Changyuan was shocked and said timidly, "I don't know the specific situation. I asked the Liuwan Village Party Committee Secretary. He said that he had applied to the Civil Affairs Department many times, but it has not been distributed. The existing supplies are all purchased by the village government. "
Lu Yiwei was infuriated. In the face of such a grim situation, these people dared to make a fuss about it. They were simply lawless. He gritted his teeth and said, "Call the Director of the Civil Affairs Department now. Tell him to come to my office immediately."
Ten minutes later, the Director of the Civil Affairs Department, Chai Mingrong, who was in his fifties, came in with a smile. Before he could speak, Lu Yiwei asked with a dark face, "Why are the disaster relief supplies not distributed in time?"
Chai Mingrong was stunned. He stood there and began to complain, "Secretary Lu, it's not that I don't want to distribute them. It's because of the weather. The supplies can't be transferred back at all …"
