Seeing that Gong Bo was determined to stay on the embankment, Liu Changgui was not willing to persuade him anymore, so he had to call the secretary of the township government office and said, "You go back to the countryside to find two folding beds, and find a few more sets of clean bedding and electric blankets..."

Although Gong Bo decided to stay on the dam, he was not crowded on the same bed with ordinary people, so he still admired Liu Changgui's careful consideration.

When Liu Changgui ordered his secretary, Gong Bo smiled and called Luo Yang, saying, "Little Luo, is it the first time I have seen this situation! Are you afraid?"

Although Luo Yang has seen such heavy rains, it is indeed the first time that he has rushed to the front line of flood prevention. It is nonsense to say that he is not afraid of it! No matter what, Luo Yang is also a billionaire. When he is in the United States, he always hides from danger, for fear of accidents. What's more, he just saw the sand and stone reservoir shaking in the storm and huge waves. Once the dam breaks, this two-story building built on the dam will be the first to be affected. Under the power of nature, it will be difficult to escape.

However, since I have embarked on the path of politics under the persuasion of my parents, I cannot retreat in danger. What's more, even Gong Bo stayed. As his secretary, if I left first, let alone Deputy County Magistrate Gong looked down on him, he would look down on him even if I looked down on him. I believe that God would not be so blind. There are so many evil people in this world who don't accept them, and they only accept Deputy County Magistrate Gong and those who are truly willing to do things for the people on the scene.

The heavy rain outside the window slapped the window. Although it was still in the morning, it was so dark. Through the blurry glass, you could only see more than ten meters away. You could vaguely see the waves more than half a person in the reservoir rushing towards the embankment, and at the same time they also hit everyone's hearts!

Gong Bo was no exception. He stood quietly in front of the window, staring at the heavy rain outside the window, but he was praying in his heart, hoping that the heavy rain could stop, even if it was only stopped for half a day! It could allow the flood to flow into Jijiang and not cause disasters in Anton.

But God seemed to be resting today, letting the strong wind gather dark clouds and pouring floods into the earth. The heavy rain started yesterday and continued until the evening of that day, but there was still no sign of stopping.

Although Liu Changgui, the head of Shashi Township, had already arranged for people to release floods and release water before the heavy rain, and he promised that there would be no problems for at least one day. However, when he saw the heavy rains outside the window, Liu Changgui was unsure and went up to the embankment several times to check the water situation. The situation at the scene was not optimistic. In just two days, the water level rose by nearly one meter, which was already close to the cordon. If he went down for another night, the reservoir would probably be forced to open the gate to release water tomorrow.

Liu Changgui was a little regretful at this time, so why didn’t he put more water? If he had put more at that time, he would have been able to hold on for one more day now. However, this sand and stone reservoir is one of the most important water sources in several surrounding townships. It can open the gates and release water without rain. Liu Changgui is under great pressure. If he put too much, once there is no heavy rain, tens of thousands of farmers around him will be seriously affected next year's spring plowing. At that time, Liu Changgui will not be able to explain to the people and leaders!

Liu Changgui returned to the small building to report the situation to Gong Bo. Gong Bo also knew Liu Changgui's difficulties and did not blame him much. Instead, he immediately called Qu Jinjun, the county magistrate who was in charge of the county, to report on the situation here. He hoped that Qu Jinjun could coordinate with the townships along the Anhe River and arrange time for himself to open the gates and release water. Even if it was only one hour, it could alleviate the pressure faced by the sand and stone reservoir!

But Qu Jinjun's answer was decisive: "No!"

Due to the heavy rainfall for 36 hours, the entire Andong area is already severely flooded, and some townships are already flooded, especially in Hong'an Town, which is located in the lower reaches of the sand and stone countryside. There are countless ponds and dams. The town leaders are worried that the weather forecast will not be accurate, which will affect the transplanting and sowing of thousands of hectares of rice in the town next year, so they did not release water in time. With the arrival of heavy rain, dozens of small ponds and dams in Hong'an Town alone have been washed away. In order to ensure that thousands of hectares of rice are not flooded, the residents in the town are draining water under heavy rain. If the sand and stone reservoir, the largest reservoir in Andong area, is leaking floods, the water level of the Anhe River will inevitably rise sharply, which is likely to directly threaten the safety of Andong County.

"Nonsense! Shi Qiang and Dong Qianjin are too brave, they actually regard my words as if they are in front of their ears!" Gong Bo couldn't help but march towards the county magistrate Qu on the phone and said loudly.

"Old Palace, it's too late to say this now! Although they can't escape the responsibility they should bear, if thousands of hectares of rice fields in Hong'an are flooded and there is no harvest, you and I can't afford this responsibility either!"

Gong Bo of course also understood that the thousands of hectares of rice were the foundation for the survival of hundreds of farmers. If it was really ruined, these people would not waste a year of vain, but they would have to spend a lot of seeds and fertilizers. It is still in 2003. Although the country has planned to further promote grain production, protect the comprehensive grain production capacity, mobilize farmers' enthusiasm for growing grain and increase farmers' income, it has planned to directly provide subsidies to farmers based on the actual grain planting area for grain growers across the country. However, from the policy concept of direct grain subsidy in 2000, it is still in the pilot stage. The comprehensive promotion will have to wait until 2004. In other words, there is no subsidy for farmers to farm. Once they are affected, they will have no source of livelihood. At that time, they will inevitably go to the county to make trouble.

"County Magistrate Qu, I understand! Don't worry, the sand and stone reservoir is still strong now. We will never open the gate and release water until the last moment!"

"Well! I feel more at ease when you are in the sand and stones! I hope God can understand the difficulties of our people and don't go down again, even if it's just a long time!" As the head of a county, Qu Jinjun had to coordinate the flood prevention work in the whole county. The pressure he was under was far beyond Gong Bo. At this time, he couldn't help but sigh.

Gong Bo put down the phone and greeted Sun Changgui, "You have heard what County Magistrate Qu said. Don't think about flood discharge in a short period of time! You immediately organize militias and the assault team of party members and cadres in your township to go up the dike as quickly as possible. We must take reinforcement measures for some dangerous sections in advance to prevent the dam collapse!"

"Yes!" Sun Changgui also understood that the county magistrate had an order not to discharge floods, so he could only stick to this place.

"Xiao Luo, let's go to the embankment to take a look." Gong Bo was still a little worried and called Luo Yang. Accompanied by two township cadres who were familiar with the embankment, he walked up the embankment in the rain.

It was already past five o'clock when I walked up the embankment again. Although the sky was getting darker at this time, it was still a little brighter. But today due to heavy rain, the sky had already turned completely dark. In the storm, I couldn't see my five fingers. Everyone could only walk on the embankment with a flashlight in their hand, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
