Chapter 476
Late at night, the clock quietly pointed to eleven in the morning, and the first general staff meeting of the rescue site command center kicked off in this tense and busy land.
Although the makeshift "camp table" is simple, it carries the hopes and expectations of countless lives.
At this simple table, Wentao sat steadily in the middle, while Sun Yiguo sat quietly beside him.
As the meeting began, Wen Tao was the first to stand up and speak. In a sonorous and powerful voice, he conveyed the instructions of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, as well as the unanimous requirements reached by the Provincial Standing Committee.
Immediately afterwards, Wentao solemnly announced: The on-site rescue command center is officially established at this moment!
He and Sun Yiguo will jointly serve as the commanders of this rescue operation and shoulder the responsibility of coordinating all situations on the scene.
Their decisions are like military orders on the battlefield, which cannot be questioned. All departments on the scene must obey the orders issued by the command center without any reservation.
At the same time, an important decision was also announced - Bengang City immediately entered an emergency state!
This means that the entire city will revolve around this rescue operation and go all out to deal with the crisis at hand.
Afterwards, the on-site rescue commander and executive vice mayor Sun Shuo stood up and began to report in detail on the current progress of the work.
According to him, as of 11 o'clock sharp, the fire fighting, public security, health and other teams at the Bengang City level and its subordinate district and county levels had all been assembled and quickly arrived at the scene.
At this moment, a huge force of more than a thousand people has been involved in this race against time rescue.
The Provincial Fire Brigade, the Provincial Safety Supervision Bureau and geological experts dispatched by the province have also arrived at the scene.
At the same time, the Provincial Public Security Department responded quickly and decisively dispatched an advanced helicopter to the scene to efficiently deal with various possible emergencies.
At this moment, the entire rescue operation has been spread out in all directions like a tightly woven net.
In this tense and busy atmosphere, an exciting piece of good news came: after the search and rescue team’s hard work, they finally found the seven trapped miners!
What is even more gratifying is that these seven miners only suffered some minor abrasions and are not seriously injured. Their vital signs are stable and they are not in danger of life!
When everyone heard this long-awaited good news, their tense nerves relaxed instantly, and their hearts, which had been hanging in their throats, settled back down a little.
Even Wen Tao, who is always serious, could not hide his inner joy at this moment. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile of recognition and relief.
You know, ever since this sudden accident happened, his face has been covered with frost and he has never shown a smile.
However, at this moment, the news of the successful rescue was like a ray of light breaking through the dark night sky, bringing endless hope and strength to everyone - whether it was the rescue workers fighting on the front line, or the leading cadres like Wentao who shouldered heavy responsibilities, or the anxious people who were waiting in the family area.
"Secretary, Mayor, after a careful inspection of the on-site situation, we can see that the extent of the mine collapse is not completely uncontrollable. The miners trapped inside should not be in danger of death for the time being! But we must race against time to launch a rescue operation." The city fire brigade captain reported the latest situation to the two leaders with a serious face.
"Excellent! We must exhaust all possible means and quickly commence rescue operations. Even if personnel require rest and adjustment, the machinery must not stop! Your rescue team must make thorough preparations and arrangements in advance! Also, headquarters must report progress to me every hour!"
Wentao deployed the tasks in an orderly manner, and his calm and firm tone seemed to give everyone present a shot of adrenaline.
At this time, Wentao fully demonstrated his extraordinary command ability and clear and meticulous thinking logic, and successfully supported such a difficult and complex situation in a short period of time.
"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"
Then, Wen Tao turned his gaze to Li Mingyang and asked, "Comrade Mingyang, have you got control of Gu Youwei regarding the Tieshan Mine?"
Li Mingyang looked troubled. After a moment's hesitation, he stammered, "Secretary... I haven't been able to..."
Wen Tao frowned slightly upon seeing this, glared fiercely at Li Mingyang, and shouted, "Just say what you want to say! Don't hesitate!"
Li Mingyang's heart trembled at Wen Tao's scolding, and he hurriedly explained: "Secretary... the mayor..."
"Secretary, the occurrence of this accident is definitely not what any entrepreneur expects to see! It was completely caused by unpredictable and irresistible factors! Comrade Gu Youwei is a native entrepreneur of our Bengang City and has made a lot of contributions to the economic development of our city over the years. So, if we really want to take such extreme measures as arresting him, we must be extremely cautious! If this matter gets out and other business owners hear the news, who will dare to come to our Bengang City to invest and start a business? The consequences are simply unimaginable!" Sun Yiguo couldn't wait to take over the conversation and said anxiously.
In fact, at this moment, his heart was like fifteen buckets of water being drawn - up and down, because he was the only one who knew the tricks involved.
Gu Youwei is involved in so many complicated things that once he is put in jail for interrogation, he might spill all the beans.
Among those things, a considerable part of them are inextricably linked to their Sun family.
Therefore, no matter what, he had to find ways to protect Gu Dawei and never let him fall into the hands of the law.
Wentao glanced at Sun Yiguo and felt sad.
Human life is at stake. Now is not the time to argue with Sun Yiguo.
"That's it. Deputy Mayor Sun will be in charge and will liaise with Gu Youwei, asking him to cooperate with our work. He is the boss and he knows the situation inside the mine best. This will be beneficial to our rescue work!" Wen Tao said.
"Yes! Secretary!"
The meeting ended and everyone went back to their respective work stations.
