Chapter 209 Earthquake
Xiang Yunduan did not intervene in this personnel selection.
He told Fang Jinglin that when asked to send someone to select temporary workers, Fang Jinglin was surprised and just let him decide directly. However, in order to avoid suspicion, Xiang Yunduan insisted on letting the district bureau send someone over.
Of course, not only to avoid suspicion in the courtyard, but also to avoid suspicion in the police station. Although he has the final say on the police dog base now, it is obvious that this is not normal.
After all, he is just the acting director, and the police dog base can't even form a leadership team and can't even hold a meeting. This kind of approach where everything is decided by him alone is short of time and it doesn't matter. , will definitely be criticized.
Just like this recruitment, although it is only temporary workers, the police dog base, as a subordinate unit of the district bureau, must listen to the opinions of the bureau, especially the opinions of the comrades in the political department. If everything is decided by the lower level, That's a big deal.
The reason why the police dog base is in the current situation is actually because the specific rights and responsibilities are not clear.
Although it is now assigned to the district bureau, the city bureau and the ministry are very concerned about it, so that some things in the district bureau are not easy to arrange. The leadership team has not gathered together, and they don't know what the plan is.
Xiang Yunduan also asked Fang Jinglin, but Fang Jinglin was also vague, which was not to deal with him, and Fang Jinglin didn't know either.
The more he is able to act arbitrarily, the more Xiang Yunduan has to be careful now and try not to give others any leverage. No matter what no one says now, it is because he and the police dog base are indeed somewhat "legitimately popular" now, but As time goes by, this kind of excessive treatment will definitely become normalized gradually. If it offends everyone now, it will definitely backfire in the future.
In a few years, if the floods come together, something will really happen.
It was precisely for this reason that he asked people from the political office of the bureau to participate in this selection.
The people in the Political Department actually didn’t know much about the specific work at the police dog base. After all, it was a new thing, so they specifically asked Xiang Yunduan about the requirements for recruiting personnel.
As a result, what Xiang Yunduan didn't expect was that all five places in this selection were lesbians.
It may be that he told the comrades in the Political Department at that time that the main job of these new recruits was to take care of puppies, so the comrades in the Political Department all selected female comrades. After all, lesbians do have advantages in this aspect.
Although Qin Huairu has problems like this, she also has advantages, that is, she is very efficient at work and is not the kind of person who is lazy and does a lot of things.
Originally from the village, she had been working since she was a child. After joining the Jia family, she did all the work at home alone, which can be regarded as being trained by Jia and Zhang.
Perhaps for this reason, Qin Huairu finally became one of the five people selected.
Xiang Yunduan didn't have any special thoughts when the five lesbians entered the base, but it was very meaningful to the other comrades in the base.
After all, before the base, it was all gay men and not a single woman.
As the saying goes, it's not tiring to work with men and women. What's more, among the trainers in the base, there are still many young men who are not married.
Among the five lesbians selected this time, only one, Qin Huairu, was married. The other four were all around 20 years old and unmarried. This made the young men at the base extremely happy.
Xiang Yunduan naturally knew that someone wanted rabbits to eat grass from the side of the nest, but he didn't care. He couldn't care about other people's life and death when he got married. As long as they were in love and didn't engage in messy things like coercion, he naturally didn't have to object. .
The harmony of yin and yang helps to increase everyone’s enthusiasm for work!
……
"Goddess of Light, do you have a problem with me?"
In the middle courtyard, after hearing Yan Bugui's words, Xiang Yunduan's face suddenly turned cold and he looked at Liu Guangtian and asked.
"No! Director Xiang, don't listen to his nonsense. I have never said a bad word about you. It was Jia Dongxu who exaggerated!" Liu Guangtian was frightened when he saw Xiang Yunduan's face and quickly denied it.
"Director Xiang, he..." Jia Dongxu had seized the opportunity now. He opened his mouth to elaborate on what happened before, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Xiang Yunduan.
"Okay, since it involves me, I won't say anything more. Third uncle, you can just watch and deal with it!"
After Xiang Yunduan finished speaking, he turned and left.
He had already expected this kind of thing to happen. When so many people came to him that day to establish relationships through the back door, he knew that there would be gossip. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't control what others said behind their backs.
It's just not easy to deal with. One mistake can easily make these topics intensify, so I'd better leave it to Yan Bugui.
The most important thing is to get this matter out of the way as soon as possible.
Seeing Xiang Yunduan leave, Yan Bugui could probably guess what Xiang Yunduan was thinking, so he quickly announced the result: Liu Guangtian would be punished to clean the hospital's public health for a month and clean the toilets for a month!
Even Liu Haizhong didn't say anything about this punishment.
Although Liu Haizhong usually beats his son fiercely, he is his son, so he can beat him, but others can't bully him.
That is to say, this time Liu Guangtian's bad mouth implicated Xiang Yunduan. If Xiang Yunduan had not been implicated, Liu Haizhong would definitely not have agreed to such a punishment, as far as he and Jia Dongxu were concerned.
……
"Ok?"
Xiang Yunduan suddenly woke up from his sleep.
"Danglanglang!"
The moment he sat up from the bed, the lid of the teacup on the table in the middle of the room rolled to the ground, making a crisp sound.
"earthquake?"
Xiang Yunduan's enhanced body perception was also very sharp. He was stunned for less than a second before he realized what was happening.
With a swish, he rushed out of the bed without saying a word. At the same time, he looked up and saw that the light bulb hanging from the electric rope above his head was indeed shaking.
"There's an earthquake! Everyone, come out quickly!"
Xiang Yunduan rushed to the yard with clothes on his body and kept shouting!
Soon, neighbors ran out of the house one after another, most of them disheveled.
It's not dawn yet, it's probably around four or five o'clock, and no one would get up at this time if they have nothing to do.
"earthquake?"
Some people were so sleepy that they had no idea what was going on.
In fact, let alone in sleep, even when awake, most people will only be aware of it later.
After all, most people will never encounter something like an earthquake in their lifetime, and their first reaction will not be to think about it.
In Xiang Yunduan's previous life, he had experienced the earthquake on May 12th. Although he was not at the epicenter at that time, the earthquake was still very strong. At that time, he only realized it in hindsight, and it was only after that that he had the idea in his mind. The concept of earthquake.
"There was indeed an earthquake just now, but it didn't look too severe. It just shook for a while!" Yi Zhonghai said.
It seems that Yi Zhonghai has some experience with earthquakes.
The yard was in a mess, with people talking at once. Many people felt more curious about the earthquake than anything else.
In fact, it was not only their yard that was in chaos, and Xiang Yunduan was not the only one who felt the earthquake. After all, there are always people who get up at night to go to the bathroom or suffer from insomnia, especially the elderly who have little sleep and may have been awake just now.
"The epicenter may not be in our area, but if it can be transmitted, I guess the epicenter won't be too far away!" Xiang Yunduan said.
If it was a major earthquake with a relatively high magnitude, he should have heard of it in his previous life, but this time period did not match the time when the major earthquakes he knew happened.
For example, in Xing City in 6.8, earthquakes with magnitudes 7.2 and occurred in two counties within ten days of each other, causing heavy losses. Another example is the time in Tang City that was later made into a film and television work.
These have a relatively large impact.
At this time of 1959, there should have been no major earthquakes.
"Okay, it's almost dawn now, so don't sleep anymore to prevent aftershocks!" Yi Zhonghai said.
Naturally no one objected to this.
Soon, it was daybreak. After everyone had breakfast, it was time to go to work and go to school.
Xiang Yunduan was no exception. After arriving at the base, he gave instructions on his work, then picked up the phone and called Fang Jinglin.
The earthquake in the morning suddenly brought a new idea to his mind, which was to establish a special search and rescue dog working group at the police dog base.
After natural disasters such as earthquakes, landslides, mudslides, etc., specialized search and rescue dogs are particularly needed to assist in the search.
Not to mention the present, even in later generations, there will be special life detectors and other instruments that can be used in detail. Still not as useful as a search and rescue dog.
It is very necessary to establish this specialized search and rescue dog working group.
In the next few years, whether it is an earthquake in Xing City or Tang City, it will definitely play a huge role.
So this must be done!
"Fang Ju, it's me. I have something to report to you. It's the earthquake this morning. I think..."
When the call was connected, Xiang Yunduan said his thoughts directly without any nonsense.
Fang Jinglin also felt the earthquake in the morning, but he didn't take it too seriously. After all, it didn't seem to have much impact.
However, he was very interested in what Xiang Yunduan said.
"You can come directly to the bureau and meet in person!" Fang Jinglin said on the phone.
Naturally, Xiang Yunduan went non-stop and arrived at the district bureau again.
"Do you know where the earthquake occurred? How severe was it?" Xiang Yunduan asked.
"I don't know, it shouldn't be serious!" Fang Jinglin said.
"Fang Ju, that's what I think. If the situation is serious, I wonder if I can take the people from the police dog base there to see if I can save some people?
After all, the establishment of a search and rescue dog working group is just my personal idea. Whether it will be successful or not, and how effective it will be, we still need to put it into practice! Xiang Yunduan said.
"I haven't received any specific news!"
As Fang Jinglin spoke, he called Director Liu of the Municipal Bureau to inquire about the situation and briefly reported Xiang Yunduan's thoughts.
"Director Liu, wait for the news!" Fang Jinglin said to Xiang Yunduan after hanging up the phone.
In this era, the Earthquake Bureau has not yet been established. There is only a seismic station and working committee under the Academy of Sciences. News is transmitted slowly, unlike in later generations, where the entire network will know about an earthquake in a second.
Not long after waiting, Bureau Liu called back. Without saying anything more, he just asked them to go directly to the ministry, which surprised Xiang Yunduan.
By the time the two arrived at the ministry, Bureau Liu had already arrived. What surprised Xiang Yunduan even more was that the person who saw them was a leader of the ministry, and Deputy Director Fan Guoyong of the Technical Equipment Department was also there.
It was Xiang Yunduan's first time in the ministry, and naturally it was also his first time meeting such a big leader. He acted a little reserved throughout the whole process, and just said whatever the leader asked.
After talking for about half an hour, the department leader agreed that he wanted to organize people from the police dog base to carry out search and rescue work in earthquake-stricken areas.
At this time, Xiang Yunduan also learned the specific location and magnitude of the epicenter from the ministry leaders.
It was indeed similar to what he had guessed before. The magnitude of the earthquake was not very high, but it still caused a certain degree of damage. As for the more specific situation, they would not know until they arrived at the place.
But one thing is certain, that is, there were indeed human losses, so their expectations regarding search and rescue dogs can also be verified this time.
"Comrade Xiaoxiang, work hard!"
Before leaving, the department leader patted Xiang Yunduan on the shoulder and encouraged him.
After returning to the base, Xiang Yunduan immediately gathered the trainers and began to assign tasks.
It's impossible for all the trainers to go. The police dog base is such a big place, and it certainly can't be done without leaving people behind. Moreover, the comrades selected by the district offices still need to participate in training, and this cannot be stopped.
In addition, those female dogs that are pregnant must not go. This is related to the breeding of new dog breeds. It is a top priority and must be foolproof.
"Director, it's better for me to stay!"
After Xiang Yunduan explained the mission, Shen Yong stood up and said.
It is most suitable for Shen Yong to stay. Apart from Xiang Yunduan himself, he knows the things about the police dog base best, especially those related to training. If he stays, the daily work of the base will not be messed up.
"Okay, you have the final say on the daily training at the base these days while I'm away!" Xiang Yunduan nodded with satisfaction.
"Time is tight and the task is heavy. Let's get ready immediately and set off in half an hour!" Xiang Yunduan said.
Their purpose this time is to search and rescue those trapped people, so they must race against time. It is possible that one minute earlier can save one more life!
However, preparations must be made. They are there to help, not to cause trouble. It is conceivable that the situation at the epicenter of the earthquake will definitely not be good at this time.
So when they go, they must prepare some things by themselves, such as dog food and so on.
An hour later, Xiang Yunduan led 20 comrades and police dogs to join Director Fan and headed straight to the disaster area.
The disaster area is not far from Sijiucheng. Taking the train should have been the fastest, but now due to the earthquake, the railway was damaged and the train cannot pass, so we can only go there by car.
Director Fan was not the only one from the department who went there this time, but also several other comrades. It was not clear which department they were from, but Xiang Yunduan guessed that the department wanted to make more preparations to deal with such emergencies. .
After all, they bear the great responsibility of maintaining social security and stability.
