Chapter 1167 Devastated

Beigang Municipal Party Committee Deputy [Book] Gong Qiwei died in the line of duty. As for the real cause of his death, it is still under investigation and has not been announced immediately. The Municipal Party Committee [Book] Xiangcheng has also lost his whereabouts since the early morning, and no one knows his whereabouts. Beigang Mayor Gong Huanshan had to temporarily assume the responsibility of leading the city's disaster resistance.

At noon on the same day, Governor Zhou Xingmin arrived at Beigang by helicopter to inspect the situation in the disaster area. The current disaster shocked Zhou Xingmin. The disaster in Beigang also touched the attention of the high-level officials. In the evening of the same day, Deputy [General] Li Wen Guoquan took a special plane to the disaster area, on behalf Disaster victims.

When Wen Guoquan boarded the plane, he had already informed Beigang to let Zhang Yang pick him up at the airport. He specially stressed that as long as Zhang Yang picked up one person, everyone else would stay at their posts.

Since witnessing Gong Qiwei's tragic death, Zhang Yang has been in a deep self-blame. He even thought that he had killed Gong Qiwei. Maybe the plan between him and Gong Qiwei had already been seen through by outsiders, which made Zhang Yang feel extremely depressed.

Wen Guoquan saw his grief from Zhang Yang's face at first sight. Wen Guoquan had not seen his god son for a while. He also heard from his wife about the conflict and enmity between his son Haonan and Zhang Yang. From the beginning to the end, Wen Guoquan remained silent, whether it was Zhang Yang or Hao Nan. He didn't even talk to them.

In this meeting with Zhang Yang, Wen Guoquan obviously felt that he was deliberately maintaining the distance from himself. Zhang Yang did not call himself godfather as usual. Even if he returned to the car, in this relatively private environment, Zhang Yang still respectfully called him Wen deputy [General].

Wen Guoquan came here for business this time. In the eyes of others, it is understandable to call Zhang Yang, but Wen Guoquan was obviously a little unhappy. He frowned and said, "Your godmother is very worried about you!" His words have rich meanings, that is, telling Zhang Yang that Luo Huining still misses him, and gently reminds Zhang Yang that you have forgotten my godfather?

Zhang Yang squeezed his lips and whispered, "Thank you Aunt Luo for me..."

Wen Guoquan said, "You don't have to be so polite!" His tone was a little unhappy. He turned his face and looked at the devastated scene outside the car window. Wen Guoquan's heart also became as dark as the sky in Beigang. After a while, he asked, "What is the death toll so far?"

"Three hundred and ninety-eight people, one hundred and seventy-three missing." Zhang Yang replied in a low voice.

Wen Guoquan nodded silently: "I heard that Comrade Gong Qiwei, deputy of the Beigang Municipal Party Committee, died in the line of duty?"

Zhang Yang's heart was sore. He lowered his head: "The cause of death of Comrade Gong Qiwei is still under investigation."

Wen Guoquan heard the extraneeral voice in Zhang Yang's words, looked into his eyes and said, "What's the problem?"

Zhang Yang said: "The Municipal Party Committee [Book] Xiang Cheng has been missing since he left the office in the early morning, and his whereabouts have not been found. Last night, he ordered Comrade Gong Qiwei to transfer the commanders of the Seamen's Club. According to the preliminary investigation of the police, Comrade Gong Qiwei's death was not A deliberate murder."

Wen Guoquan's two thick eyebrows are twisted together: "How many years have you been in the system?"

Zhang Yang said, "It's almost six years."

Wen Guoquan said, "Have you still not learned to distinguish between priorities in six years? What is the top priority? What is the first problem we face?

Zhang Yang said, "I won't let Gong [Shu] die inexplicable!"

Wen Guoquan said, "I always believe that there is a word of justice in the world. We exist to maintain the dignity of justice. However, we still have many responsibilities on our shoulders. It is for the sake of the well-being of the people that national cadres like Comrade Gong Qiwei do not hesitate to give up their personal happiness and even. The first thing we need to do for personal life is to complete the unfinished wish and make the people safe. Only in this way can his sacrifice be valuable. Only in this way can these good cadres close their eyes. He looked at Zhang Yang and said earnestly, "Zhang Yang, I am as sad as you are in the death of Comrade Qiwei. I will not let every good cadres sacrifice in vain, but we must put our own affairs behind. The first thing we need to do is to settle these people as soon as possible and how to restore the work here as soon as possible. Production and production, how to make the lives of the citizens of Beigang return to normal.

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "I can't do it. Maybe my heart will never be so broad."

Wen Guoquan said, "I have a lot of things I can't do, but you have to do it in this position. It's not only Gong Qiwei who needs you to be sad. So many citizens of Binhai are waiting for you. When you are entangled in the affairs of Comrade Qiwei, have you ever thought that the citizens of Out of trouble, you should take them out of trouble, you should give them hope!"

Zhang Yang's eyes were wet, and Wen Guoquan's words were like enlightenment, completely waking him up from the pain. Yes, it's not the time to be sad.

Wen Guoquan first inspected Binhai, the most serious disaster situation. The most fundamental starting point was that he did not want to interfere with their normal disaster relief command work.

It should be said that leaders at all levels in Binhai still showed quite excellent cadre quality in this tsunami, fighting against disasters wholeheartedly, and no one showed fear and retreat. Many people have not closed their eyes for a day and a night, and still insist on being on the front line of disaster resistance.

Wen Guoquan, accompanied by Zhang Yang, first went to the temporary resettlement site of the coastal disaster victims. His arrival caused a sensation at the scene. Zhang Yang has arranged Cheng Yandong to lead the police to maintain order at the scene in advance. In the current environment, there are too many unpredictable factors. Zhang Yang does not want to make any trouble during the Accident.

Wen Guoquan saw the ** maintaining order at the scene and looked at Zhang Yang's dissatisfaction. He whispered, "When did we, as state cadres, become so afraid of the common people?"

Zhang Yang said, "The situation is more complicated these two days. It's better to be careful."

Wen Guoquan did not continue to blame him. He walked over and shook hands with the people one by one.

When many people saw the deputy [Mr.] Li coming in person, they burst into tears with excitement. Someone cried and said, "Wen [Mr.], our home is gone, and there is nothing left."

Wen Guoquan said, "Don't be afraid, the country is at home, and the home is destroyed. We can rebuild it. Please believe in the Party [Zhong] Central Committee, believe in the government, and we will do our best to help everyone rebuild their homes."

While saying comforting words, Wen Guoquan walked into the crowd and looked at the faces full of expectations. Wen Guoquan was in a solemn mood at this time. He stayed at the resettlement site for an hour.

Towards the end, Wen Guoquan stepped onto the high post. He shouted, "Hi, everyone, I'm Wen Guoquan. Today, on behalf of the Party [Zhongzhong] Central Committee and the State Council came here to inspect the disaster situation, and express my sincere condolences to all the affected people. You have suffered!" Wen Guoquan's voice was low and loud, hitting people's hearts.

He squeezed his lips and said, "The weather is unpredictable. Although we have made efforts and taken a series of preventive measures, this tsunami is still beyond our imagination and has caused extremely serious losses to Beigang to Binhai. In this disaster, many of us have lost their relatives and homes. I can feel your sadness. Please believe that I am as sad as yours. We can rebuild our lost homes, but our lost loved ones will never come back. If we can do our work better, if we can react in time, we may avoid too many casualties. Here, I On behalf of all civil servants, I apologize to the people for the possible negligence in our work!" Wen Guoquan bowed deeply to everyone.

Many people at the scene cried. In fact, no one blamed the government for the incident. In fact, before the tsunami, the government department had issued many warnings and dispatched staff to persuade coastal residents. However, many residents believed that there would be no major windstorm in Beigang and refused to leave on this ground. Open a home. That's why there have been a lot of evacuation delays, leading to so many deaths.

Governor Zhou Xingmin and his entourage also came to the scene. When they arrived, they saw Wen Guoquan's speech. Zhou Xingmin stopped from afar and listened to Wen Guoquan's speech quietly with his escort.

Gong Huanshan, the mayor of Beigang, quietly observed Zhou Xingmin's face. Until now, there has been no news from Xiang Cheng. Gong Qiwei, deputy of the Municipal Party Committee, has died again. Now he has temporarily become the leader of Beigang. Gong Huanshan has been looking forward to such a day that he can get to this position, but However, he felt like sitting on a needle, and the position of the hand was like a hot potato. He wished to throw it out quickly. At this time, it is never suitable to enjoy power. The first one may be a series of accountability. Just now, Governor Zhou Xingmin did not give him a good look at all during the inspection. Gong Huanshan inferred that someone must come out to take responsibility for this natural disaster, and his heart was filled with pessimism.

After Wen Guoquan finished speaking, he waved goodbye to the disaster victims at the scene and made a warning to open the way, but many people still came up to talk to Wen Guoquan. Wen Guoquan had a kind attitude, shook hands with everyone affectionately, and answered the questions he heard. In a short distance, he walked for nearly 20 minutes.

Zhou Xingmin did not walk over and waited in place all the time. It was not until Wen Guoquan came down to the vicinity by everyone's escort that he greeted him: "Vice [General Manager]!"

Wen Guoquan looked at Zhou Xingmin and nodded, with a smile on his face, and whispered, "Go to the front and talk."

The two walked to the high ground in front of them, and all the entourage stood below. Everyone saw that the two bigwigs had something to say alone. No one took the initiative to follow. Zhang Yang and Gong Huanshan looked at each other, and Gong Huanshan also saw Zhang Yang's sadness and depression. He suddenly had a feeling of pity for each Both of them may be in trouble. Gong Huanshan said, "Have you found the latest casualty figures?"

Because I'm going to have a meeting in Shanghai this week, the update has slowed down and I will try to keep updating. I hope you can understand!
