At this time, the expression on Liu Yang's face calmed down. He stared at Wu Yuandong and asked, "Tell me directly, how bad is the situation?"
"If the leak cannot be blocked in time, as the lake water surges and the pressure increases, the dam will definitely collapse..." At this point, Wu Yuandong stopped talking.
Even a fool can figure out the following situation.
A scene of a dam breach immediately appeared in Liu Yang's mind: the embankment suddenly collapsed for tens of meters, and the lake water passed through like a beast, rolling over the waves, swirling, and passing over the flat, mirror-like rice fields, roaring like a beast. Rushing towards the opposite village like a galloping horse...
I don’t dare to think about it any further, this situation must never happen. Thinking of this, Liu Yang took out his mobile phone again. Fortunately, although the signal of the mobile phone is not up to standard, it can still be called.
This time, Liu Yang did not say anything else to Sun Qingmei. He only said one sentence: "Secretary Sun, there is a piping surge in the lake embankment. I am afraid there is a danger of a breach. The nearest Zhangjiazhuang and Danie villages below the embankment are the best." Mobilize the villagers to relocate now. In addition, I need a lot of sandbags here, the more the better... "
After saying this, he hung up the call with Sun Qingmei. For a moment, Liu Yang really wanted not to inform her. Even if he was held responsible afterwards, it would be her responsibility, and it had nothing to do with him.
However, after thinking about it, she is really the only one suitable for the position of secretary of the Huling County Party Committee.
Even if he drives her out of Huling, I'm afraid he won't be able to sit in her position based on his qualifications. Besides, do you know what kind of person can be transferred to you as secretary
After all, I have dealt with this woman a lot, and I am familiar with her temperament, personality and style of doing things. The most important thing is that this woman still has something in her hands.
Whether it was the beautiful half-leg thing that happened with her in the office when they were in Sihe, or Hu Xiaohong, it can be said to be Sun Qingmei's weakness. When you are really in a hurry, you can take it out by yourself, which is enough to "threaten" her to support you.
Naturally, this method should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Of course, it won’t work if you use it too much.
But when it's critical, it's enough to use it once. Liu Yang believed that Sun Qingmei would be better off staying in Huling County than someone he was completely unfamiliar with.
Therefore, at this time, Liu Yang ignored the previous suspicion and called Sun Qingmei once again to remind Sun Qingmei that I was right, it is not that there is no danger as you think, but that the danger has already occurred, but it has not reached the point of being uncontrollable.
Do you know what you should do? Otherwise... hum...
After hanging up Sun Qingmei's call, Liu Yang called Lin Yufen again and asked her to transport emergency supplies as soon as possible, regardless of the cost. The more river sand, sacks, shovels, etc., the better.
At this time, Wu Yuandong lowered his voice and said: "County Magistrate Liu, I'm afraid it's too late. The whirlpool below is getting bigger and bigger, and the water is mixed with soil. This must be the lake water scouring the dam through the cracks. If anything... we This place is not safe either. Our people must retreat..."
"Is there no other way?" Looking at the lake water on this side of the dam, Liu Yang turned his head back and looked at the foggy place on the other side where he couldn't see anything.
Wu Yuandong just said that there is a village called Zhangjiazhuang with a population of more than 1,000 people two kilometers away from this section of the dam. Less than half a mile away from Zhangjiazhuang, there is a village called Danie Village with a population of five to six hundred people.
If this section of the river embankment is washed away, only a few villagers in Zhangjiazhuang and Danie Village will survive.
Don't think that two kilometers is a long distance. The flood that broke the embankment was faster than a galloping horse. It only took a wave to hit it, and the villagers didn't even have time to run.
"County Magistrate Liu, what I just said is a conservative estimate. If the flash flood on the other side of the lake washes down, it will form a rolling torrent from east to west in a short period of time, which will form a strong impact on our levee on the west bank. Shock wave, I have never estimated how strong this force is. It may be an exaggeration to say that this heavy rainstorm occurs only once in a hundred years, but it has never happened since this section of the levee was built, but it is documented. In addition, any The torrent from the state direction will also enter the East Lake. At that time, the water level will suddenly rise to an incalculable height. Even if it cannot cover the levee, if the water level of the lake rises another half meter, the pressure of the lake water on the levee will increase. More than double..."
As he spoke, Wu Yuandong glanced at Liu Yang's face and said with a wry smile: "County Magistrate, the problem is that the dam under our feet already has cracks. With such a large water pressure and the impact of the flood peak, the dam under our feet has cracked. A crack will become a flood outlet. But the key point is that our flood outlet is not a reinforced concrete building, but rammed earth. The lake water will be like a mouse digging a hole, gradually making the hole bigger and bigger. Eventually the lake embankment collapsed..."
After listening to his words, Liu Yang turned back and stared at the lake for a long time without saying a word.
"County Magistrate Liu, it's too dangerous here. I think we should leave first..." Zhang Yawei said with a hint of panic on the side.
Cao Hancheng curled his lips and said nothing. He looked down on Liu Yang from the bottom of his heart. But he really didn't agree with Zhang Yawei's words.
In any case, separated by a dike, this is the lake that kills people, and the other is my hometown. As a county-level cadre, if you haven't done anything yet and run away first when in danger, what's the point
In fact, Zhang Yawei was not the only one who wanted to turn around and run away at this time. Among the people standing behind him, there were quite a few who had this idea.
After listening to Zhang Yawei's words, Liu Yang turned around, glared at him and asked: "Let's go? Where can you go? As long as this long embankment breaks a hole, the entire Huling County will become a big fish pond. You Zhang Where can the county magistrate run? Even if you can run, can all the people in the county also run?"
"County Magistrate, do you need to make a decision quickly?" Wu Yuandong asked again anxiously. Time waits for no one, why are you arguing at this time
"Chen Dekai..." Liu Yang did not answer him, but shouted loudly.
Chen Dekai agreed loudly, took two steps forward, and stopped when he was about to pass Cao Hancheng and Zhang Yawei. "You can drive me back now and see what's going on with County Magistrate Lin? Why haven't the emergency and disaster relief materials been transported yet? In less than half an hour, I will remove her from her post..."
Regardless of whether he has this authority or not, Liu Yang really doesn't care about that much now. After finishing his roar, he turned back, looked at the pair of dark crowds standing behind him, and shouted loudly: "Comrades, fellow villagers, there is no sign of the heavy rain stopping yet, the water in the lake is It’s still growing like crazy. The embankment under our feet has already discovered a problem. I won’t hide this from you... "
As Liu Yang spoke, his eyes slowly slid over those people, but those people opposite felt that the county magistrate's eyes had seen me, and they unconsciously straightened their bodies that were already wet by the rain.
"But, the place where we are standing is not safe now. I can also tell you something, as long as you step back a hundred meters, you are safe. As far as the current situation is concerned, even if you stay at home, you might as well stay It is safe on this causeway, because this causeway is the commanding heights of our county."
Liu Yang said, suddenly raising his voice: "However, if the place where we are standing now is not repaired, it may not take long before the lake water opens a hole. And now it is higher than our county seat. When the lake reaches more than one meter, it will rush all the way through this gap, leveling the two villages in front of it, and then pouring into the homes of people like us."
"Now there are two questions before everyone. One is that you retreat. You can retreat a hundred meters or two hundred meters, or you can retreat to your home to accompany your wife, children, and father and mother to be flooded together. The other is that you retreat. , that is, we find ways to eliminate this hidden danger that has not yet broken out. Of course, if you choose the former, I will not say you are a coward, because this is human nature. Choosing the latter will be dangerous, but you are saving A hero to the people of the whole county."
At this point, Liu Yang's voice suddenly paused, and he was the first to raise his hand: "I am the first to sign up to stay. If the embankment under my feet really breaks, I will just jump down and use the body that the user gave me. I also want to fight against the monstrous flood for my life. If I can block a bowl of water, the people in the county will have less to drink. If I can block a gourd of water, maybe one less person will die in the flood... "
The crowd was shocked by what he said. Everyone held their breath and stared blankly at the young county leader in front of them.
Zhang Yawei also looked at Liu Yang in shock and thought to himself, "Isn't your show off a little too much?" What if... are you really planning to jump? Even if you jump down, what's the use of standing up? If you block a bowl, it will be a bowl, and if you block a scoop, it will be a scoop? I'm afraid your small body can't even block half a scoop of water. When a wave comes back, you don't know where you were washed away. What are you doing
Thinking about it, a sarcastic sneer appeared at the corner of Zhang Yawei's mouth, thinking to himself, do you think everyone will follow you like a fool when you say this? Look, besides you raising your hands stupidly, who else would respond to your stupidity...
But then he froze like a fool and couldn't laugh anymore.
"County Magistrate, I didn't say anything. I understand what you are saying. Besides, your life is worth more than mine. Since you dare to stay, I will never leave..."
"That's right, count me in..."
"Yes, and I..."
The shouting became more and more intense, and those people standing behind Zhang Yawei actually went crazy. They imitated Liu Yang and raised their hands.
Not only behind him, but also Cao Han Chengdu standing in front of him raised his hand. This change was really beyond Zhang Yawei's expectation.
However, looking at the scene in front of him, Liu Yang smiled.
