Chapter 5 Proud Reasons

Upon receiving a call from Liu Chenglong, County Magistrate Xue Wenlong felt an indescribable sense of boredom in his heart. In his opinion, Liu Chenglong was too childish and unruly to speak to the leaders like this. However, considering the mystery of Liu Chenglong's identity, he did not want to directly fall out with him for the time being. Therefore, he patiently explained, "Xiao Liu, you don't know anything. If Jinglin Reservoir doesn't release water again, the county town will be submerged, and the losses will be huge. As a leading cadre, you must make sacrifices." ī God NG, you need to consider the overall situation. Although I know that the pressure in your Guanshan Reservoir will be relatively high, water and fire are merciless. This is also an inevitable thing. We can't let the county town be flooded by the flood, can we! By the way, all towns and counties along the downstream of Jinglin Reservoir have already notified you to make various defense preparations. Especially in your town of Guanshan, guarding the Guanshan Reservoir requires caution and never complacency. Your town must promptly organize the evacuation of the people to ensure their life and property safety. This is your responsibility as the town mayor. If there is a problem, I will ask you questions After speaking, without waiting for any response from Liu Chenglong, Xue Wenlong hung up the phone directly.

Just as Liu Chenglong hung up the phone, another call came in. This time, the secretary of the town committee, Shi Zhenqiang, said, "Xiao Liu, Comrade Hu Guangyuan and Comrade Wang Xuewen are going to rush to the county for a meeting overnight. You will be fully responsible for the town's affairs. You must organize the flood prevention work of Guanshan Reservoir and do a good job in the evacuation and resettlement of all residents in our town. Otherwise, if there is a problem, I will not be able to save you." After that, Shi Zhenqiang hung up the phone and left by car, accompanied by Vice Town Mayor Hu Guangyuan and Wang Xuewen.

In the car, Wang Xuewen looked at Shi Zhenqiang with an awkward expression and said, "Secretary, now leave everything to Liu Chenglong. What if there are any mistakes? Will the county hold us responsible and cause trouble for us?"

Shi Zhenqiang waved his hand confidently and said, "How could you possibly cause trouble for us? We are going to a meeting in the county, and it is Liu Chenglong who is fully responsible for organizing flood prevention work. If there is a problem, he will naturally be in charge. You don't have to worry about this. And to be honest, when the flood comes down in an hour, we don't know what our town will look like. We should leave this place of trouble as soon as possible. Have you two of your families evacuated to the county town?"

Both of them nodded, and Hu Guangyuan said, "Hmm, it was already transferred to the county town last night."

Shi Zhenqiang nodded in satisfaction and said, "Well, that's good. Let Liu Chenglong go and mess around with the rest of the matter!" After speaking, a hint of mysterious pride appeared on Shi Zhenqiang's face. He had already arranged many things ahead.

At this moment, Liu Chenglong stood by the dam of Guanshan Reservoir, watching the surging and constantly rising river water in Guanshan River, with a resolute expression in his eyes. Looking at Tian Laoshuan next to him, he said, "Tian Laoshuan, the Guanshan Reservoir is definitely not safe, and floods are inevitable. In order to minimize losses, you need to leave the organization and quickly evacuate the villagers in your village. Except for valuable items, you don't need to bring anything else. Hurry up and settle down at Tianwang Ridge. As long as there are no people left, anything can be restored. Also, please inform the village chiefs and branch secretaries of other villages to arrange for villagers to move to Tianwang Ridge or nearby high places. After an hour, I will organize people to blow up some sections of the dam to ensure that the flood does not flood your houses as much as possible and only irrigate the farmland."

Tian Laoshuan nodded sternly and said, "Okay, Mayor Liu, I'll listen to you." After that, Tian Laoshuan left with a worried expression.

Liu Chenglong immediately took out his phone and dialed Han Guoqing, the director of the town police station, saying, "Director Han, I am Liu Chenglong, the mayor of Guanshan Town. Now, please immediately send a few kilograms of explosives to the dam in Malan Village section of Guanshan Reservoir."

Han Guoqing had already received the news that the flood was coming and was organizing his family to evacuate to the county town by car. When he received a call from Liu Chenglong, he immediately apologized and said, "Mayor Liu, I'm sorry. I'm too busy here and can't afford it now. Why don't you find someone else?"

Liu Chenglong's face darkened and he said coldly, "Han Guoqing, I don't care what you are doing right now, but what I want to tell you is that Secretary Shi has gone to the county town for a meeting, and I am the one responsible for all the work in the town. If you resist my instructions now, then from now on, I will immediately dismiss you from your position as the director of the police station and never hire you."

Upon hearing Liu Chenglong's words, Han Guoqing only smiled faintly and said coldly, "I'm sorry, Mayor Liu. You don't have the qualifications to make a separate decision on personnel appointments and dismissals. This matter needs to be discussed by the Party Committee, and I am currently carrying out the official duties assigned to me by Secretary Shi. Therefore, I am unable to follow your instructions at the moment. I'm sorry, but Han Guoqing hung up the phone.".

At this moment, Liu Chenglong was quite angry. Although he couldn't see what Han Guoqing was doing, he didn't consider the people at all. Liu Chenglong had already decided to take Han Guoqing as a warning and establish his reputation in Guanshan Town after being busy for a while. However, for now, Liu Chenglong can't care about these things. He immediately took out his phone and dialed the phone number of the deputy director Jia Xinyu, saying, "Director Jia, this is Liu Chenglong. I just called Han Guoqing, but he refused to execute my order. He has been dismissed from his position on the spot. You are currently acting as the director of the town police station. You should immediately deliver 5 kilograms of explosives to the dam in Malan Village, Guanshan Reservoir within an hour. Is there any problem?"

"No problem, no problem, I will take action immediately," Jia Xinyu replied without hesitation upon receiving instructions from Liu Chenglong. At this moment, Jia Xinyu is on duty at the town police station. Although he is only the deputy director, he always voluntarily requests to be on duty at night during the flood season in case of emergencies. At the same time, his two legitimate relatives, Ma Dynasty and Ma Han, are also on duty. All three of them come from poor rural families and know that there are many things to do during the flood season. With J ǐ The presence and assistance of NG Cha can make many ordinary people feel at ease. Although Jia Xinyu didn't know what Liu Chenglong was going to do with explosives, he still stood firm on the dam of Guanshan Reservoir at this time, and his broad mindedness and courage alone were enough to make him admire. So, without saying a word, he went straight to the Minister of Armed Forces, Yin ch ū After coordinating 5 kilograms of explosives from him, N Hua immediately led the dynasty to personally drive J ǐ The NG car rushed to the reservoir dam in the rain and delivered the explosives to Liu Chenglong's hands, saying, "Mayor Liu, this explosive was specially coordinated by me from the armed forces department and can be remotely detonated at a distance of about 200 meters. I hope it can be helpful to you."

Liu Chenglong saw the sweat droplets mixed with water dripping on Jia Xinyu's forehead, as well as his steady state when he was panting but holding the explosive bag in both hands. He admired this deputy director a bit more in his heart. When some officials had already started planning a way out for their families and even had already run away, the inconspicuous deputy director in front of him delivered the explosive bag to him in just 40 minutes. Such a person is indeed a good comrade.

Liu Chenglong nodded lightly and said with a smile, "How about staying with me and waiting for the opportunity to blow up the reservoir dam and release the flood? Dare you?"

Without hesitation, Jia Xinyu nodded and said, "Even Mayor Liu dares. What dare I do? No problem."

Subsequently, Liu Chenglong called the beautiful deputy secretary Qin Ruijie again, asking her to accelerate the progress and organize residents in low-lying areas of the town to evacuate to Tianwangling as soon as possible. Qin Ruijie accepted without any hesitation, as she was currently doing this.

At this moment, in Guanshan Town, whether in the town or in various rural areas, loudspeakers are loudly broadcasting the news that the Jinglin Reservoir is about to open and release water, urging everyone to move as soon as possible. On the roads leading from each village to the outside world, one villager after another drove various vehicles with their families towards the direction of Tianwang Ridge.

More than an hour has passed, and the two-hour deadline has arrived. At this point, Liu Chenglong has received calls from Qin Ruijie and various village chiefs, telling him that all villagers in each village have been evacuated to a safe place. At this moment, the entire Guanshan River has boiled like a galloping horse, with one flood peak after another, and the river has begun to spread towards the dam. Some dam areas have started to face danger again. Liu Chenglong knew that this was just the beginning, and it was feared that the river would soon overflow the dam. Therefore, in order to minimize losses to the greatest extent possible, some dams could only be bombed to maintain the flow of water and prevent other dam sections from being washed away, leading to uncontrolled flooding. With this in mind, Liu Chenglong immediately personally found a suitable section of the embankment, placed the explosives, and properly placed the other accompanying personnel. After that, Liu Chenglong withdrew to a distance of 200 meters, got into the car, and lightly pressed the remote control button.

Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded, and a dam 200 meters away was suddenly blasted open. The surging flood finally found a way to vent, and all rushed in frantically along the gap, roaring towards the green farmland. It was instantly submerged, and wherever it passed, it was a flood with no harvest.

At this moment, Hong Sanjin drove his car and began to frantically charge towards the distance through the gas gate. Subsequently, everyone found a safe place and parked the car. Jia Xinyu was on duty, while Liu Chenglong, who had been tired for two days and two nights, finally lay peacefully in the car and fell asleep. Now, it is the best result he can fight for, and he has a clear conscience.

However, exhausted and sleeping soundly, Liu Chenglong did not expect that at this moment, a conspiracy against him had slowly begun in the county town.
