Chapter Sharp Interview
Amyra is very powerful and sharp, and she said:
"I have been turned away two times in a row. My audience and I still don't know anything about the earthquake and what happened in Taozhuang. I hope Fang Shuji has a satisfactory answer and cannot ask me the same question for the third time."
Fang Sheng pondered slightly and said:
"Tonight, the word 'satisfaction' will not appear. The major earthquake - the preliminary understanding is the highest magnitude in the past five years. It may exceed 7 magnitude. The disaster is very serious. From the moment the earthquake occurred, we heard the report and saw scenes on the way to Taozhuang. Various buildings collapsed, bridges were damaged, and road surfaces were damaged. At that time, residents were all staying at home at night, and the few people were able to run out at the first time, which brought pressure on rescue. We learned that Taozhuang was the epicenter area, and it was one of the few county towns that had been mastered at that time. In order to effectively grasp the disaster situation and timely allocate rescue manpower and material resources, Chi Shuji personally led us here..."
What he said was similar to Chi Shunxin, but the art of expression was here, it was clearly the same, and he said it from his mouth as if he knew the situation well, confident and calm, as if...
It seems that Fang Sheng is the plan of the Commissioner General.
"Fang Shuji said that the magnitude of the earthquake is the highest in five years and the disaster is very serious. These are similar to what our interview team knows," said Amyra. "But what I don't understand is that more than two hours have passed since the earthquake occurred. In Taozhuang we have not seen effective organization and orderly rescue. The residents are panicked and frightened. A few residents spontaneously dug ruins to save people but are very inefficient. Some supermarkets were robbed. There were many children sitting on the roadside crying but no one comforted them... The provincial leaders are waiting, and the affected residents are waiting. I want to know what the county leaders are doing?! If it is confirmed that they are negligent in their duties, will they be severely investigated?"
"You said 'if', it can be seen that all the possibilities exist. Why don't you wait? Everything is based on facts," Fang Sheng said. "Yuanshan is a region with frequent earthquakes. There are emergency plans from provinces to cities, counties and towns. But as you know, communication paralysis disrupts everything, just like the radio failure platoons on the battlefield cannot find the battalion, and they are currently in a messy situation of fighting each other. Chi Shuji and the provincial leaders foresaw this point, bringing advanced communication equipment to maintain contact with the province at any time..."
"Satellite phone? Military channel radio? Or..."
"It's all hidden in Chi Shuji's bag, you have the chance to flip through it."
Amyra still looked as usual when she hit a soft nail: "The interview team came over from the hotel and found two questions. Maybe Fang Shuji can help us answer them. First, as I said just now, there are panicked residents and children everywhere. Where did the cadres go at this time, and where did the ** party members go?"
"Party members and cadres are part of the people, always with the people. The more dangerous the moment, the more they will play a pioneering and exemplary role; but party members and cadres are also human beings, not iron-clad kings. They will also panic in the face of a major earthquake that has not been encountered in five years, and will also be at a loss when communication is interrupted. As long as they recover, they will burst out astonishing energy to lead residents to rescue and overcome difficulties. Next question."
"We passed by a kindergarten and a middle school. The school building collapsed severely and most of the walls fell off," Amyra turned around and pointed at the county and city courtyard road. "Look at the office building of the county leaders, I suspect it is the only well-preserved building in this earthquake. Can Fang Shuji explain the reason?"
Typical European and American journalists dig holes.
Chi Shunxin and Hua Boting's face turned green when they heard it, and they deeply regretted not being able to lead the wolf into the house, causing such a big trouble. Put yourself in your shoes, if you were dizzy by the spotlight, you didn't know how to answer the microphone.
Fang Sheng said calmly: "Ms. Amyra, I dare to bet on you a dollar, just bet that the county government building is not the only intact building... Look at the hotel opposite, there are two business buildings on the other side, as well as the supermarket on the right, and the commercial and residential building..."
"Sorry, maybe I'm having some problem with it," Amyra said quickly, "I mean the office building is compared to the teaching building."
"I know the West is keen on making this analogy..."
"No, to put it in the words of you Chinese, it is called hearing as false and seeing as truth. I only speak according to the facts I see!"
"Are you sure you see all the facts? For example, there are more than ten schools in Taozhuang. If you only see two, you will rush to compare them with the county government building."
"Does Fang Shuji feel that it is convincing that all school buildings have collapsed?"
Chi Shunxin and other provincial leaders were stunned by the two of them's verbal confrontation. For the first time - it was the first time for them to truly appreciate the sarcasm of European and American journalists and Fang Sheng's eloquence.
Fang Sheng shook his head: "I want to remind you of the fact that the street you are walking in belongs to the old city area. The schools located in the old city have decades of history, and the teaching buildings and walls are at least twenty years old. However, the county government building has just been completed and put into use in recent years. The construction materials and construction standards are very high, so this indiscriminate comparison is not fair."
"The problem that follows is that the local government has money to build office buildings, but has no money to build new teaching buildings?"
"Your question represents the common views of the Western people and the guests. Please allow me to answer this more time and do not interrupt this time. Is it OK?"
Fang Sheng spoke calmly and calmly. Chi Shunxin and Hua Boting looked at each other. They couldn't figure out that Fang Sheng, who had been worried about the Gujian District and Gujian Heavy Industry since taking office, had not even stepped into the territory of Juicy. It can be said that he knew nothing about Juicyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Amyra respected this keen and calm opponent more and made an invitation gesture: "Please."
"A fact that is easily overlooked by the West but is well known to the Chinese people is that the office building of the Zhengfu can quickly promote the commercialization and prosperity of the area, increase land prices, and the overall improvement of urban construction level. Many potential needs such as hotels, hotels, catering, service industries, etc. The approval authority controlled by the Zhengfu will also set up office locations nearby. Therefore, whenever the local official government plans to develop new areas and integrate into the urban commercial circle in a short time, building office buildings is one of the most effective means. Of course, the competent departments at all levels oppose this lazy practice. Indeed, to some extent, it has caused criticism to the outside world, especially the Western media, but I must admit that when Bai Tie was the mayor, the office building was built first to develop the Beiping Basin."
Amyra laughed: "You are very frank, you are the...interesting and realistic leader in the mainland."
Fang Sheng smiled: "I am grateful for the praise. The other side I want to say is about teaching buildings. We have been repairing and updating them over the years. There are new teaching buildings, and there are them in every city, county and district, but they are usually far away from the city for safety, cost, planning and other reasons. I dare to bet another dollar to bet that the damage to the newly built teaching buildings is relatively optimistic, but you probably don't want to go so far to prove that the work of the official palace is doing very well."
"Well, I think I will. The authenticity and comprehensiveness of the report depend on the diligence of the interview team..."
The confrontation had just come to an end, and three or four cars rushed from different directions in a row, and they were parked in front of the gate and got off in a hurry. The leader was the main leader of Taozhuang County who had been leaving the provincial leaders for a long time!
It was just these guys who were hurt. Otherwise, the provincial leaders and their team would go directly to the county government building to listen to the report. Amyra's interview team could not even enter the gate without approval. How could they fall into a dilemma?!
Hua Boting was determined to beat these guys hard in public, and by the way, he saved one or two leaders from venting their anger. However, seeing that they were all muddy, their hands and feet were covered with dirty dandruff, some were injured, and their arms, legs and feet were bleeding. Eighty percent of them came from the ruins rescue site, and they were relieved again, and asked with a calm face:
"Headless flies, a plate of loose sand! Where did they all go?!"
The leader, Shuji, bowed his head and said, "Report to the leaders that the entire building of the county nursing home is... all... full of people over 70 or 80 years old who were unable to move and had no time to evacuate, and they were trapped inside. In order to carry out rescue as soon as possible, we called all the people who could be summoned for emergency rescue, but failed... failed to organize disaster relief work in the whole county in a timely manner. I reviewed and I have to bear the responsibility of leadership!"
The scene was particularly quiet for a moment.
The lights of Amyra's interview team hit the county leaders. Their image was not tall and tidy, and they were ragged, as embarrassed as wounded soldiers who had retreated from the battlefield, but it was enough to tell everything.
At this time, silence is better than sound.
In an instant, Chi Shunxin's throat was a little blocked, and he waved his hand and said, "Don't stand outside, go to the yard for a short meeting."
As he said that, he quickly walked into the county government compound. Amyra and other interview teams also wanted to sneak in. This time, Hua Boting was not polite and stopped her and said:
"Please stay... Internal meetings are not allowed, sorry."
Amyra turned her head and wanted to find Fang Sheng, but unexpectedly he slipped faster and followed Chi Shunxin and stepped into the door the second time.
In fact, what Amyra said was not completely correct. Some walls in the county building also had cracks. In order to prevent aftershocks, everyone stood in the middle of the yard and had a meeting, and tried to speak as concisely as possible to get to the point.
The situation is quite serious: the collapse of the school building that Amyra said was a trivial matter, because there were no teachers and students in class at night, causing no casualties.
All 11 communities with construction periods of more than 20 years have collapsed to varying degrees;
At least 8 buildings with more than ten floors in the county town have cracks and tilts, and reinforcement measures are urgently needed;
19 bridges have been found to be broken or distorted due to earthquakes and cannot pass;
Before the communication was suspended, the 110 alarm center received more than 1,200 calls for help. The police had gathered personnel to provide targeted assistance, but it was buried and trapped in the whole county. Taozhuang needed more personnel to conduct a dragnet-style search and rescue within 72 hours of golden hours;
The county town has completely cut off water, electricity and gas. From tomorrow, the victims who have left the streets will need a lot of food and drinking water;
The emergency departments in several hospitals in the county are overcrowded, and a large number of them were injured in the earthquake. Those who are disabled need medical treatment, but so far, less than one-quarter of the medical staff have been on duty and cannot be contacted;
From the county town to several towns located in the deep mountains, the mountain roads were interrupted by landslides. This is the most anxious place for county leaders. According to experience, every earthquake, the mountain villages in the deep mountains are often the most severely damaged.
