Chapter 894 Find a new way
Long Fuhai's face darkened and he asked Liu Qi again, "Liu Qi, what do you think?"
Liu Qi knew that if he dared to imitate Hao Shaoping, he would definitely be scolded. "I think... it's a bit far-fetched.
There are not so many natural disasters.
Tianzhou has experienced countless winds and rains in recent years, and many of them have seen heavier rainfall than this year.
But I have never seen any serious accidents.
Moreover, based on the mining volume of Tianzhou Coal Mine, it is still far from reaching the deep area.
Even so, there won't be any major problems in the next two years at least.
If you're worried, we can ask an expert to come take a look, and then no one will complain."
"Your suggestion is good. How about this? Contact a few coal mining experts and compile a report to provide a basis for the city's decision-making."
……
Standing at the city hall building, looking out at the sky after the heavy rain.
Sha Ruijin had been tense for two hours and finally relaxed.
After waiting for a while and making sure that there were no emergency calls, Sha Ruijin took out his cell phone, called Hong Ping'an, and asked him to invite Qin Wenhai, a member of the Military Standing Committee.
Sha Ruijin knew that it was no longer possible to reverse the situation in Tianzhou and rectify the coal mining cluster in the Black Triangle Development Zone.
As long as Minister Cao does not leave Hanjiang, his influence will continue to increase Long Fuhai's bargaining chips and squeeze Sha Ruijin's power space.
So he had to find another way and focus on post-disaster rescue.
He had participated in coal mine rescue in the army and had some experience. He knew that many mines in the Black Triangle Coal Mine were just about to be broken by the last straw.
If this heavy rain continues, the straw will soon fall.
He must try his best to make a final remedy.
After all, he is different from Long Fuhai. Long Fuhai's career is about to come to an end, while he is in the prime of his life and has a bright future.
In the worst-case scenario, Long Fuhai would at most be dismissed from his post.
And Sha Ruijin is likely to have a serious stain on his official career.
With this stain, his career in this life is almost over.
Now he needs to turn the stain into a boost, or even an advantage.
The first step to this advantage is the troops.
As soon as Qin Wenhai arrived, Sha Ruijin tried to get close to him and spoke without hesitation about his relationship with the military.
Qin Wenhai had long seen the military spirit in Sha Ruijin and knew that he was half one of his own.
But let’s be honest, the military is the military and politics is politics, and Qin Wenhai naturally cannot participate in local political struggles.
Faced with Sha Ruijin's initiative to invite him to meet, he was wary at first. But when Sha Ruijin got to the point and explained the reason, Qin Wenhai immediately felt that he was judging others by his own standards.
"Mayor Sha, don't worry. Defending our country and carrying out disaster rescue are my duties. I have no choice but to do them."
With the military's assurance, Sha Ruijin felt more at ease. However, to be on the safe side, he still gave a request, "Political Commissar Qin, I hope your army can conduct more rescue drills recently."
Qin Wenhai said: "Mayor Sha, don't worry, we are also professional in this regard."
……
In the next two days, Sha Ruijin did not confront Long Fuhai head-on in the sensitive place of Tianzhou Coal Mine.
He turned around and engaged in frequent inspection work, visiting various fire brigades and mine rescue teams and listening to their rescue measures.
Fortunately, it is located in Tianzhou Coal Mine, where there is a certain foundation of emergency rescue experience, and Sha Ruijin is quite satisfied.
However, this is far from enough. It is okay to deal with ordinary mining accidents, but if they are a little bigger and more complicated, they will definitely be helpless.
So he turned his gaze to the neighbors around him.
It happened to be the weekend, and Sha Ruijin personally came to Beishan to discuss the rescue plan with Qi Tongwei.
Beishan Municipal Party Committee compound, Little Red Building No. 2.
Ye Mei and Sha Xiaoqian borrowed Qi Tongwei's kitchen to cook a large table of dishes.
Several people sat in a circle, and Sha Ruijin picked up the teacup, "Come, Tongwei, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine. Thank you and your wife for taking care of Xiaoqian for me."
Qi Tongwei was not happy with this. "Brother Sha, this is a bit disrespectful of you. You come to my place and offer me tea?"
Ye Mei explained on Sha Ruijin's behalf, "Mayor Qi, don't blame Ruijin. The weather has been unpredictable lately, with heavy rainfall. He's been worried about an accident at the Tianzhou Coal Mine, so he's been keeping a clear head and ready to direct the rescue at any time."
Hearing this, Qi Tongwei nodded, picked up his wine glass, and clinked glasses with Sha Ruilong. "Brother Sha, you must remember this, you owe me wine again."
Sha Ruijin smiled bitterly, "I think it's hard to pay it back. The more I owe, the more I owe."
Everyone laughed.
After laughing, Qi Tongwei's expression turned slightly more serious. "Brother Sha, didn't you previously hold a certain degree of influence in the Black Triangle Development Zone? Didn't you notice anything unusual?"
Sha Ruijin picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and said slowly, "How could we not have noticed? There are so many problems. Take last year for example, just from our statistics, hundreds of people died in coal mine accidents."
"Hundreds of people!" Qi Tongwei's eyes widened in astonishment. "This Long Fuhai is truly audacious. He was able to suppress such a huge matter!?"
"As the municipal Party Secretary, if he's deliberately concealing the truth, which city newspaper or TV station would dare report it without authorization? As long as there's no reporting, and the families of the victims are appeased and prevented from filing a complaint, the matter will naturally be suppressed." Sha Ruijin paused, then added, "As long as no one files a complaint, even if the provincial government learns of the matter, they'll selectively turn a blind eye."
Qi Tongwei sighed and said, "Alas, they are all a bunch of people who are only interested in official hats."
He knew in his heart that Pei Yihong and others could not be completely unaware of this matter, but no one took the initiative to uncover it. This might be the dark side of human nature.
The higher the rank, the more life is valued, just like these mayors, who all have the food, drink, defecation and urination of millions of people in their hands.
Faced with figures of millions every day, when a hundred people suddenly died due to a natural disaster, they appeared surprised on the surface, but in fact they had long been calm.
"That's why I didn't lift the lid, because I knew it would be useless to talk about it.
So, I don't want to repeat the same mistake again this year.
This time I came here, in addition to thanking you for taking care of Xiaoqian, I also want to ask you for a favor."
"You said."
"I hope you can set up a rapid-response rescue command office in Beishan in advance. If a major accident were to occur at the Tianzhou Coal Mine one day, with our current capabilities, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to handle the rescue effort alone.
At that time, we can only hope that you can quickly rush to Tianzhou and become our strongest support."
Qi Tongwei nodded and said, "No problem, I'll arrange it tomorrow."
Sha Ruijin also reminded: "Be sure to equip more water pumps, and they must be high-powered. Mines are prone to collapse during the rainy season, often accompanied by water accumulation. In this case, water pumps are the most critical.
I don’t know if you have enough water pumps in Beishan.”
Qi Tongwei said: "Although there are no coal mines in Beishan, there are iron mines. Pumps are also needed to remove groundwater. These are regular supplies."
"That's fine, that's fine."
