Political Commissar Chen walked to the window and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the rain outside the window had slowed down a little.

"This rain should stop as soon as possible!" Political Commissar Chen couldn't help but mutter.

At this moment, the phone rang, and Political Commissar Chen immediately walked to the phone.

"Hey, it's me, what? But the rain here has weakened! Got it, I'll personally lead the security platoon to support you!"

After putting down the phone, Commissar Chen showed a trace of anxiety on his face.

Then Political Commissar Chen picked up the phone, dialed a number, and said, "I'm Chen Qiang. The Jiangzuo Embankment is in emergency. Notify the guard platoon to assemble immediately and come with me to support the Jiangzuo Embankment!"

After assigning the task, Political Commissar Chen walked to the closet, changed his clothes, and was ready to set off.

The phone on the table rang again at this moment, and Political Commissar Chen ran forward and answered the phone.

"Hey, I'm Chen Qiang, yes! What? Reception? But chief, the Jiangzuo embankment is in emergency. I have to take the guards to support now. How can I have time to receive any entrepreneurs!

Chairman of Puppy Group? Li Weidong? People will be here soon? I don't care who Zhang Weidong and Wang Weidong he is, I have to join Lao Zhang now, he can't hold on anymore.

Are you here to help us? What kind of chairman is he, how can he help? What we need most now is manpower. Can he conjure up hundreds of people for me to carry sandbags on the embankment?

What? Support us with 100 construction machinery? Chief, are you serious? Loaders, bulldozers, all of them? That's great! Then I'll wait here for this kind of chairman to come over! Don’t worry, chief, I promise to complete the mission! "

An hour later, Political Commissar Chen met Li Weidong.

"Chairman Li, welcome!" Political Commissar Chen shook hands with Li Weidong with a smile on his face. He couldn't help but glance behind Li Weidong a few times, but he didn't find a hundred construction machinery.

Political Commissar Chen had a military style and spoke quickly. He asked: "Chairman Li, didn't you say you have a hundred construction machinery?"

"The construction machinery is still on the way! I came here personally." Li Weidong looked at his watch and continued: "They should have reached the entrance and exit of the national highway by this time."

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to pick him up right away," Political Commissar Chen said.

Li Weidong said: "Political Commissar Chen, I heard that the situation is urgent. Why not just transport the construction machinery to the front-line troops!"

Political Commissar Chen nodded: "It's okay. We have three regiments in our division. One regiment is rescuing the victims in the disaster area. The second and third regiments are on the riverside. Among them, the Jiangzuo embankment in charge of the second regiment is in the most dangerous situation. We should give priority to the The construction machinery will be transferred over.”

"Okay, I'll ask Political Commissar Chen to make arrangements immediately. But there is a situation that I have to explain in advance. Our factory is also relatively tight on manpower. We are currently working overtime for production, so I brought ten technicians this time. Come here. So we need you to arrange a driver here," Li Weidong said.

"What kind of driver do you want?" Political Commissar Chen asked.

"Of course you know how to drive construction machinery. If you really don't have it, you can drive. After all, the situation has escalated. I will ask the technicians to train on site. It should be able to cope with it temporarily." Li Weidong said.

Political Commissar Chen immediately asked: "Can someone drive a tank? We have tank soldiers who can drive tanks and armored vehicles."

"Driving a tank is definitely more difficult than driving a bulldozer. I think tank soldiers should be able to drive construction machinery." Li Weidong said.

"Okay, I'll mobilize a hundred tank soldiers right away." Political Commissar Chen said.

"It's best to have two hundred." Li Weidong continued: "Machines are different from people. People have to rest when they are tired. Construction machinery can work all the time as long as it is refueled. So I suggest that a construction machinery should be equipped with at least two people." Soldiers, when a driver is tired, he will change his shift immediately, which can ensure that the equipment runs continuously for 24 hours. "

"That makes sense!" Political Commissar Chen nodded immediately: "Although we are quite nervous now, I will try my best to squeeze out 200 people. If that doesn't work, I will do it myself. I was also the commander of a tank back then!"

"The second thing is the issue of oil. For transportation safety, construction machinery is transported with empty oil. Now these 100 construction machinery have no oil, so a batch of diesel needs to be deployed before the machine can work. "Li Weidong continued.

"There is no problem with this. I will arrange the supplies. There is no shortage of diesel in our army!"

Political Commissar Chen paused and then said, "By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to ask. These one hundred construction machinery are for us to use. When the time comes, will we give you the money, or will the logistics department give it to you? money?"

Li Weidong chuckled: "Political Commissar Chen, I don't want money. I donated these construction machinery to the disaster area for flood relief. You let the soldiers use it with confidence. Didn't I bring ten technicians? If the equipment is worn out, we will give it to you." Free warranty!”

"Chairman Li, thank you so much!" Political Commissar Chen was suddenly moved.

Political Commissar Chen knew that these 100 pieces of construction machinery must be worth a lot of money, so being willing to donate them was a very selfless act in itself.

And in this emergency situation, it is much more affordable for Kobe to donate money to donate construction machinery. If you donate money, you still need to buy materials and transport them. If you donate construction machinery, you can directly invest in flood fighting and rescue work.

Li Weidong smiled slightly: "I should thank you. You use your lives to protect us common people. What does it mean if I donate some construction machinery?"

Li Weidong changed his voice and continued: "Political Commissar Chen, let's not thank you again and again. Let's talk about flood fighting and disaster relief first. You just said that the situation at the Second Regiment is the most serious. Where are they now? I will arrange it now." Go to the convoy.”

"The Second Regiment is in Jiangzuo City and is reinforcing the western section of the Jiangzuo Embankment. However, the water level has risen rapidly. In just a few hours, it has risen by another 70 centimeters." Political Commissar Chen said.

"Okay, I will immediately arrange for the convoy to go to the western section of Jiangzuo Embankment. Who should I call to hand over when I get there?" Li Weidong then asked.

"Go find He Xinjun, the leader of the Second Regiment." Political Commissar Chen said.

"He Xinjun?" Li Weidong was slightly startled. He An'an's second brother was called He Xinjun, wasn't he? It's just that he seems to be stationed in the border area.

Li Weidong and He Xinjun only met a few times. When Li Weidong and He Anan got married, He Xinjun didn't even come back.

After He Anan got married, He Xinjun only came back twice, while Li Weidong and He Xinjun met four times, including two meals to welcome He Xinjun and two meals to see him off.

Political Commissar Chen on the opposite side asked: "Chairman Li, do you know Captain He?"

"I have a friend also named He Xinjun, who is also in the army." Li Weidong said.

"There are millions of people in the army, and it's common for them to have the same name." Political Commissar Chen said.

Li Weidong chuckled and thought to himself: "There shouldn't be many people named He Xinjun at the level of regiment leader, right?"

In a temporary tent on the Zuojiang Embankment, He Xinjun was holding a pen and circling around on the map of the Jiangzuo Embankment, marking numbers from time to time.

At this time, a young soldier hurriedly ran in and said, "Report to the leader of the regiment. Commander Liu of the First Battalion said that the water level has increased by fifteen centimeters since the last hour. With their own hands, those carrying sandbags The speed can no longer keep up with the rising speed of the water, and they are in urgent need of support. "

"How long has the reconnaissance company been resting?" He Xinjun asked immediately.

"The reconnaissance company has only been withdrawn for two hours, and now they are sleeping like dead pigs." The young soldier said. "

"The reconnaissance company stayed on the embankment for two days and one night before coming down. Many people soaked in the water for more than ten hours. Let them rest for a few more hours!"

He Xinjun said, with a stern look in his eyes, and continued: "All the guard company, one person from the communications company and one person from Sikyong will be left behind. The others will come to the embankment with me!"

"Captain, we can just go. You should stay at the regiment headquarters! You are the leader of the regiment. If you want to go to the embankment, who will take command?" the young man said.

"My soldiers are all on the embankment. I go to the embankment to take command. Isn't it right?" He Xinjun pointed to the south bank and continued: "There are millions of people behind us. If we cannot hold this section of the embankment, The common people will suffer!

Before I came here, I issued a military order with the commander. The dike needs people! Even if the people are gone, the embankment must be defended! Today, even if we use our bodies to fill it, we can't let the flood pass the levee! "

He Xinjun said, picked up a life jacket, put it on his body, and walked out of the tent.

As soon as he reached the door, he bumped into another soldier.

When the man saw it was He Xinjun, he quickly stood at attention and saluted, and at the same time said: "Report to the regimental commander, Staff Wang from the division headquarters is here!"

"Is it from the division to support us? Great! How many people does Staff Wang bring?" He Xinjun asked immediately.

"It's just a jeep, and he drove it here himself." The soldier said.

"What? He's the only one?" There was a hint of anger in He Xinjun's eyes.

The soldier continued: "But he brought dozens of trucks with big shovels."

"What big shovel truck?" He Xinjun asked subconsciously.

"It's a big cart with a big wheel and a big shovel on the front. It can shovel a lot of soil with one shovel." The soldier said.

"That's a loader!" He Xinjun's face immediately showed joy.

He knows that a loader can carry dozens of soldiers on top, and the shovel will not go down faster than carrying a sandbag on the shoulder! If he was given a dozen loaders, he would not be afraid even if the water level rose another half meter.

More importantly, machines don’t need rest like people do. People are always tired. Even his ace reconnaissance company had been on the embankment for two days and one night without rest, and their bodies couldn't bear it anymore. As for the machine, as long as you add enough oil, it can continue to work.

"Let's go, take me to see Staff Officer Wang." He Xinjun said immediately.

"Captain He, let me introduce to you that this is Chairman Li. He sent these loaders and bulldozers."

As Staff Officer Wang spoke, he pointed at He Xinjun and continued: "Chairman Li, this is Captain He of our second regiment."

He Xinjun looked at Li Weidong, blinked in surprise, and asked, "Weidong, why are you here?"

"Aren't we going to give you a loader?" Li Weidong smiled and then said, "I have a construction machinery factory, and you know that. These are all my products."

Counselor Wang asked, "What? Do you know each other?"

"This is my brother-in-law."

"This is my second uncle!"

Li Weidong and He Xinjun answered almost simultaneously.

"So you are still relatives!" Staff Wang nodded in realization, and then said, "Director Liu, you never mentioned before that Captain He still has this relationship with you."

"You can't blame me for this. Although I know that my second brother is the regiment commander, I don't know which army, which division he is in, or where he is stationed. He never told his family, so I didn't know him at all before coming here. Right here." Li Weidong replied with a smile.

"Yes, the affairs of the army need to be kept confidential." Staff Officer Wang nodded.

He Xinjun said, "Weidong, these loaders and bulldozers are really crucial. You have solved my urgent need. With these construction machinery, I will be more confident in guarding the embankment."

I'm going to make arrangements now and arrange these construction machinery to the embankment immediately. Wei Dong, you and Staff Wang go to my regiment headquarters to have a rest first. I will go back after I have made arrangements. "

Li Weidong sat in the tent and waited for a long time before He Xinjun returned. At this time, He Xinjun seemed to have just rolled out of the mud and looked very embarrassed.

"Weidong, you've worked hard all the way here, I'll pour you water." He Xinjun said, picking up a green enamel cup, and then said, "We have poor conditions here, so you can use my cup first!"

He Xinjun said, picked up the thermos bottle and poured a glass of water, and said at the same time: "There is no tea, only hot water, so just make do with it!"

After He Xinjun finished speaking, he picked up the cup and was about to hand it to Li Weidong, but stopped halfway. I saw him looking at the water in the cup, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

Li Weidong looked at He Xinjun without knowing why, and said with a smile: "Second brother, what's wrong? You still want to drink it for me. Is there gold and silver in this water?"

Li Weidong walked forward as he spoke, and when he looked down, he realized that the water in the glass was actually yellow.

This is not a glass of clean water, but a glass of water mixed with dirt.

"Weidong, let me pour you another glass." He Xinjun said quickly.

"It doesn't matter, just drink this!" Li Weidong took the initiative to take the water glass and said, "Pour me another glass. Isn't it the same one from the thermos bottle? It must still be like this."

Li Weidong said as he picked up the water cup and took a sip. Although the water was boiled, the earthy smell in the water was still obvious.

Water mixed with mud definitely doesn't taste good, but Li Weidong can understand that pure water can't be found in a place like this now.

So Li Weidong asked: "Second brother, do the soldiers drink this kind of water?"

He Xinjun sighed: "I am the regiment leader. I guess the cooking team gave me the cleanest water. The water the soldiers drink is definitely not as good as mine. But as long as the water is boiled, drinking it should not cause diarrhea. "

"In other words, all the soldiers drank was mud soup?" Li Weidong asked.

He Xinjun did not answer, but judging from his expression, Li Weidong already knew the answer.

"This is not possible. How can we let the soldiers drink this kind of water, even if it is boiled?" Li Weidong sighed, picked up his mobile phone, and dialed Wang Jiuyang's phone number.

"Jiuyang, don't we have a batch of water purifiers? Count how many there are immediately, and then pack them all for loading into the truck." Li Weidong said.

"Chairman, haven't the ads for water purifiers not been broadcast yet? These water purifiers are planned to be sold together with the ads for water purifiers." Wang Jiuyang said.

"I know, let's change the plan! Don't rush to put the water purifiers on the market now, ship them all to me, and give priority to the troops! The soldiers are risking their lives to fight the flood, we must let them drink a sip of clean water!" Li Weidong said decisively.
