Crisis Management Game

Gu Ji raised his eyebrows and subconsciously remembered what Prime Minister Dieter said before leaving. The Midnapur District was still discussing the disposal issue, so he asked Fatima to contact Minister Anurag and use the central cabinet government to further implement pressure.

5 minutes passed.

Anuragage called back and said that he could not find the district government here either, but he had reported it to the Cabinet Secretariat and the central government would send a commissioner to assist with communication.

"It takes at least more than three hours to get here from New Delhi. By then it will be too late to collect the bodies."

Gu Ji shook his head, not wanting to wait and waste time, so he went back to find Swaraj and briefly recounted the emergency situation, "We must first find a way to find the fire engineering team and transport the explosives there."

Swaraj did not speak, but turned to look at Marlowe.

There was a hint of anger in the latter's eyes.

"Group B stays behind to guard the location of the transport aircraft to ensure the safety of equipment and explosives. Group A follows me to find the fire engineering team!"

"Group B received it!"

"Team A receives it!"

16 Special Border Force soldiers shouted in batches.

Gu Ji asked Fatima to stay where she was and continue to contact the district government, because she was a civilian official after all, and it was difficult for her to physically keep up with the mountain troops on their cross-country trek.

The soldiers in Group A briefly organized their accompanying equipment and then marched at a brisk trot according to the target point guided by the guide.

The strong wind carried the heavy rain like countless whips, beating the ground hard.

When I stepped on the soles of the huge rubber boots, the rain and water splashed, making a pitter-patter sound, which made me feel confused.

Gu Ji stopped and picked up the telescope to observe carefully.

He checked the map positioning on his mobile phone and found that the distance from here to East Midnapur County was at least 5 kilometers. According to the army's cross-country weight-bearing training standards, it would take at least half an hour, which was a waste of time and energy.

So he chose another path.

On the river bank!

Since the state meteorological observatory has already issued a red warning, whether it is the state government, regional government, or county government, they will direct the police and fire brigade to carry out the most basic protection.

Especially in light of the Assam disaster.

They would certainly build levees near the river banks to ensure that the rising water levels would not back up, although this would be useless.

"Vidi, we have more to catch up with..."

"Captain, we found multiple silver reflections ahead!"

Just as Marlowe was about to ask Gu Ji about the specific route, his scouts discovered something was going on ahead.

He quickly came to the scout and picked up the binoculars.

What caught the eyes of several people was a river bank, and there were many silver reflections near the river bank. Although due to the heavy rain, the visibility was low and it was difficult to see clearly.

But after staying in the military and police circles for a long time, they all recognize that this is a reflective rescue vest from the fire brigade.

"Let's go over and have a look."

Gu Ji put down the telescope and was about to move, but was held down by Marlow.

"Vidi, follow me."

"Ah good!"

Gu Ji narrowed his eyes imperceptibly and noticed that Marlowe's right hand holding the gun tightened.

"Imran, leading position."

"yes!"

A strong Indian man with a scar on the right side of his face walked around several people and walked at the front.

Gu Ji noticed that as the team marched, they always stayed close to the trees and maintained a vigilant posture. It was obvious that they wanted to make a tactical breakthrough.

And under the deliberate cover-up of Marlowe and others.

The group of firefighters never noticed their presence, and the heavy rain covered up the sound of their footsteps. It wasn't until they hit their backs that anyone looked back and saw them. They hurriedly slapped the team members beside them and shouted: "Captain ! There’s a gun! There’s a gun!”

"Don't be afraid. I am Vidhi Dali. I was dispatched by the central government to cooperate with the Army's 57th Mountain Division to implement the dam blasting plan. Your state government should have issued the order to you, right? We need engineering transport vehicles now... "In order not to cause unnecessary friction, Gu Ji took a step in advance, took the initiative to explain his intention, and came up with a task transfer order authorized by the central government.

Unexpectedly, the other party refused before he could finish his words: "I'm sorry, we have never heard any orders that require cooperation. Please leave!"

"Never heard of it? Call your direct leaders now!"

Gu Ji frowned, and from the central attitude, he recalled what Anurag said in the hotel corridor on the first day of his trip to New Delhi:

The relationship between the governor of West Bengal and the central cabinet government has not been good, and various regions in the state are also in chaos.

It is obvious that whether the district government did not answer the call or the firefighters in front of them were unwilling to cooperate, it showed that the Midnapur District was deliberately making things difficult for them.

With a look from Marlowe, the remaining seven team members immediately put their rifle butts on their shoulders.

The black AK-203 muzzle is still very intimidating.

An older fire chief immediately took out the phone, muttered a few words, and was about to hang up, but Gu Ji stopped him and snatched the phone away: "Are you the fire chief?"

"Yes, I already know your request. I will send a car there as soon as possible and just wait there."

The fire chief spoke very quickly and hung up the phone after a few words, looking very perfunctory.

Gu Ji called back, but no one answered again.

He turned to look at the middle-aged fire captain, and saw that the other person's face was a little evasive. Gu Ji gradually narrowed his eyes, and the cold light in his eyes suddenly condensed, like two cold stars flashing away.

"I can't wait any longer. Your car will be requisitioned for the time being!"

He decisively walked towards the pickup truck where the fire brigade was pulling goods, but in the next second, three or five firefighters stopped him.

"Why?"

"What you are doing is against the rules! Didn't the director say he would send a car over in a while?"

"Can soldiers do whatever they want?"

…

Facing the chattering rebuttals of the people in front of him, Gu Ji's originally peaceful aura gradually turned into an astonishingly violent and violent aura, and "Vidi's" originally handsome and kind facial features also became stern.

"Illegal? I have already shown you the government and military order. I will repeat it for the last time. Please cooperate with the dam blasting plan. This is to save the lives of 50 million people in southern West Bengal. If someone maliciously obstructs the rescue, , I will immediately ask the soldiers to take coercive measures against it, get out of the way!!"

Gu Ji spoke every word with a solemn tone.

Marlowe on the side rushed up with his men holding guns.

The firefighters did not expect that Gu Ji's attitude suddenly became so tough. In addition, the black muzzle of the gun was pointed near his head. They dared not stop him for fear of being killed by one of the soldiers.

In this way, Gu Ji led eight special border force soldiers and successfully captured two pickup trucks.

He acted tough, but he won the respect of the soldiers.

Marlowe asked his opinion for the first time.

"Vidi, what do we do next?"

"Captain Marlow, time is running out. You and the soldiers immediately drive back to the transport plane and prioritize transporting explosive equipment and high explosives to the Farakka Dam. I can continue to lead people to search for other vehicles along the river bank!"

"Vidi, I'm not here for fear of something unexpected happening. Let's do this. Durvasas and Karuna, you two each take one person and return to Hippo No. 4 and No. 5. Report the situation to Colonel Swaraj, and the rest , cooperate with me and Vidi to conduct a search along the river!"

Marlowe did not choose to return alone, but handed over the task to his men and divided the 8-man team into two.

Wait for the vehicle to drive away.

Gu Ji and his party continued to move upstream along the river.

When he passed the villages and towns along the river, he found that all the lights in the houses had been extinguished, indicating that the regional government had already begun to relocate the people on both sides of the river, which was quite conscientious.

Since they couldn't find a vehicle, everyone could only continue walking.

About five minutes later, the soldier responsible for tail control issued a warning that a vehicle was approaching.

After observation, I discovered that it was the pickup truck that had just left and returned.

At this time, the trunk compartment was already filled with explosives and various equipment. Soldiers from Group B were lying next to the trunk or hanging on the side of the door.

“Vidi, I learned from the minister that 80% of the people in East and West Midnapur counties are opposed to blowing up the Farakka Dam on the grounds that the release of water from the reservoir will destroy their homes and farmland, and March next year is When West Bengal re-elected for chief ministership, the Midnapur district commissioner promised the people that he would do his best to stop the central cabinet government’s dam blasting plan in order to win votes from the east and west counties!”

grass!

After Gu Ji heard the news reported by Fatima in the car, he was so angry that he cursed in his heart.

Here they are working tirelessly to save people's lives, but over there people are trying their best to stop it.

Even more disgusting.

It’s just that the regional government does not provide correct guidance. Instead, for its own selfish interests, it takes advantage of the ignorance of the people and adds fuel to the flames, without caring about the lives of the people!

“What do you think about the capital city of Kolkata?”

“Although some officials and people in Kolkata do not want to blow up the Farakka Dam, because it is a city in the lower reaches of the Hooghly River, it will become a direct disaster area once the dam breaks. This has become the chief minister of the state, The reason why powerful officials, mainly the county magistrate of the capital, supports the blasting plan.”

"It will be easier if you support me. Contact the chief minister immediately and ask him to immediately send additional riot police units and engineering teams to support. The more people, the better, immediately!!"

Except for the previous incident where the train was trapped in a flood, this was the second time Fatima saw him with such a serious face. He vaguely understood the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly pulled out his contact list.

As the team continued uphill.

After driving for about a kilometer, everyone heard the sound of rushing water. Through the headlights of the car, they could see countless whirlpools of large and small spinning on the river. A little further away, a The huge reinforced concrete building spans the Hooghly River.

Yes, this is the ultimate goal of Gu Ji and others, and it is also the largest dam blasting plan: Faraka Dam.

At this moment, it looks like a long silver dragon lying in the mountain stream.

Just when Swaraj gave the order to speed up.

suddenly.

The scout lying on the top of the car suddenly shouted: "There is a lot of bright light on the right front, at the 2 o'clock position of the front of the car! Be careful! There is a lot of bright light!"

Ta ta ta...

In the blink of an eye, patches of bright light emerged from the darkness. A quick glance revealed that there were at least dozens of them. Some of them were bright flashlights, while others were orange horseshoe lanterns.

The entire lonely and desolate hills seemed to be cut open by lightning. Under the halo of light and rain, there were dense black shadows, and riots and turmoil spread rapidly.

It's the crowd! !

At least a crowd of several hundred people! !

"Group A and Group B! Check ammunition! Level 1 alert! Repeat! Level 1 alert!!"

Marlowe shouted at the top of his lungs, his eyes instantly becoming fierce.

In an instant, all 16 soldiers of the special border force jumped out of the vehicle, assumed a shoulder-to-shoulder shooting posture, and aimed the aiming system at the dark crowd.

"Drive away these demons!!"

"Down with them! We must not let these outsiders destroy our home!"

"Fake! Shoot me if you dare! See if I'm afraid of you!"

"Lord Shiva is watching your evil deeds in heaven, and you will be punished for everything you do!!"

…

Seeing that the distance was getting closer, Gu Ji also heard the curses and yells from the crowd.

Until there was only about 20 meters between the two sides.

Gu Ji and others finally saw the whole group of black figures clearly.

There are about seven to eight hundred of them in total, and most of them are local villagers from East and West Midnapore counties. They are all wearing coarse clothes, some have turbans tied around them, some have their eyebrows painted red, some are old, There were a few, and everyone had something in their hands, some were sticks, some were hoes, and some were simply picking up stones on the ground.

It can be seen from their appearance that they should be Indian farmers.

It’s no wonder that if the dam is destroyed, the farmland will not only be flooded, but most importantly, it will lose a stable water source for irrigation in autumn and winter, so it is normal for them to spontaneously stand up to maintain the dam.

But the real reason that made Gu Jiji angry.

Behind these local Indian farmers stood a group of government officials holding umbrellas and wearing suits. Next to the government officials, there were seventy or eighty Indian policemen wearing khaki police uniforms and armed.

Needless to say, these people must be the Midnapur government officials Fatima mentioned who were trying to win votes.

That is to say.

This was an organized and premeditated riot led by local officials! !

"Get us out of here quickly!"

"As long as I'm here, you can't even think about blowing up the dam!"

"Get out! If you don't get out, we will take action!"

As soon as he finished speaking, whoosh, in an instant, a black object suddenly hit him from a distance.

"Be careful! Something is falling! Be careful to avoid it!"

An unknown soldier shouted, and everyone hid behind the two pickup trucks until the object fell in front of Gu Ji's feet. It turned out to be a stone.

"Captain Marlowe! Don't shoot! We have to find a way to drag him down, leave it to me!"

Seeing that Maro wanted to fire a warning shot, Gu Ji hurried over and pressed the muzzle of the gun.

Fatima held her breath and stared at the scene in front of her in panic with her big beautiful eyes.

Until this moment.

Only then did she realize that Gu Ji had asked her to call for reinforcements from the Calcutta government with a stern expression.

This is simply a massive riot! !
