Chapter 1349: Fierce Controversy

come a beautiful place with friendly people and endless charm sooner or later. 。That means if Baoyuan doesn't escape poverty, he won't leave!An Ruyi felt a little disappointed, but she knew Xiao Zhen...To Zheng Aimin's surprise, the welcoming party hosted by the Guangdong Provincial Committee was also a work meeting! When Zheng Aimin first entered the meeting room, seeing such a well-organized welcoming team, he thought to himself that Secretary Xiong Qi of the Provincial Committee was showing his political stance and demonstrating his high degree of unity with Beijing. He had called out important leaders from Guangdong Province's four sets of government agencies and key leaders from relevant departments. Moreover, this was held in the middle of the night... 。Zheng Aimin thought that Xiong Qi comrade probably still had to deliver an important speech. 。However, what Secretary Xiong said next was surprisingly concise. He began by saying: "Today, the Beijing Anti-Typhoon and Flood Relief Work Guidance Group for Guangdong Province arrived overnight. This reflects Beijing's high attention to Guangdong Province's anti-typhoon and flood relief work, as well as the concrete embodiment of the work guidance group led by Comrade Zheng Aimin who is dedicated and hardworking despite the hardship." 。Let's give the work guidance group a warm welcome with thunderous applause!"

After the applause, Xiong Qi changed the topic, "The most important task of the work guidance group is to guide our current flood prevention and disaster relief work, avoid making directional or technical errors in the rescue effort, minimize casualties and losses, and effectively protect the lives and property safety of Yuezhou people! The flood control and disaster relief task is very urgent, so we have temporarily kept many welcome words in our hearts and will say them later. Now, let's immediately get to work! Now, please ask the meteorological department, hydrology department, and water conservancy department to report on the latest weather, hydrological, and flood control engineering conditions!"

Zheng Aimin then understood that so many departments and leaders gathered together was not just for a grand welcome ceremony, but also to directly participate in the discussion, analysis, and decision-making of flood control work. 。As soon as the departments responsible for meteorology, hydrology and hydraulic engineering reported the situation, Zheng Aimin and other members of the working group realized the urgency of the matter. They understood that a scientific and decisive decision was needed immediately. Therefore, the welcome meeting and the work conference were held together, demonstrating the focus on practical work. 。As can be seen, Xiongqi not only talks about politics and propriety but also works very practically! This makes Zheng Aimin even more at ease!

After the leaders of relevant departments gave a concise report on the latest weather monitoring, hydrological data, and flood control engineering capacity, Shao Changqing, director of the Water Conservancy Bureau's Flood and Drought Disaster Prevention Office, and Lu Wei, deputy director of the Office, could almost determine that if upstream reservoirs were not decisively filled with water, the middle and lower reaches would likely be endangered, and key cities such as Yuezhou, Shenzhen, and Dongcao might be flooded! As the leader, Zheng Aimin also understood very well that this rainfall in the upper reaches of the Pearl River was probably the largest in Yuezhou in nearly a decade!

They also knew that whenever Yuezhou encountered this situation in the past, upstream reservoirs would be used to store water, flooding the county towns and protecting most of the floods in the Yuejiang Delta. This time, with no significant improvement in water conservancy projects, they could only resort to this strategy!

In Zheng Aimin, Shao Changqing, and Lu Wei's minds, this was basically the same idea >>> 。After the main leaders of various departments had finished their reports, the acting governor responsible for flood control and prevention, Ge Xian, calmly spoke, "Distinguished leaders of our guiding group, after initial assessments by relevant provincial departments, we believe that regulating water flow upstream is the best way to minimize casualties and losses! This has been our approach in the past! Today, we have distinguished leaders from Huajing here, particularly, Zheng, the Director, a veteran leader from the Ministry of Water Resources, Shao, the Director, an expert who has participated countless times in flood and drought disaster prevention, and Lu, the Director, a hydrologist who has successfully participated in flood control numerous times. Please help us analyze and assess this situation scientifically! Give us your best recommendations so that we can act accordingly!"Ge Xian mentioned the three leaders from Huajing's Ministry of Water Resources, showering them with praise but deliberately omitting Xiao Zheng. 。In fact, Xiao Zheng is currently the常務副組長 of the work guidance group, a position higher than both Shao Changqing and Lu Wei! Ge Xian didn't mention Xiao Zheng, firstly because Xiao Zheng previously proposed " staggered flood discharge," which was very different from what Ge Xian and other leaders wanted; secondly, Xiao Zheng is Xiong Qi's person, an extremely threatening figure to them. Ge Xian has always felt a deep aversion to Xiao Zheng in his heart. 。。Lu Wei, being publicly hailed as "a hydrologist leader who has repeatedly succeeded in flood control," couldn't help but smile. 。As a researcher like Lu Wei, this director cares more about people's evaluation and recognition than their position. As for the intentions behind them, she wouldn't bother to analyze it. She said, "According to the current hydrological data, if there is a flood discharge upstream, it will indeed pose a huge risk to the downstream areas." 。"Upon hearing this, Ge Xian's face lit up with joy: "Leaders, you are absolutely right! The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area contributes 80% of Guangdong province's total economic output. Securing the Greater Bay Area is equivalent to securing Guangdong province!"

“The decision-making power still rests with the Guangdong Provincial Committee. Our working guidance group merely offers suggestions." 。Zheng Aimin heard a hidden pit from Ge Xian's words, it seemed that Shao Changqing and Lu Wei hadn't noticed. 。For example, Ge Xian's words "We will act according to your opinions" essentially handed over the responsibility of decision-making to the working guidance group! In case of a major incident, it can also be said that it was caused by acting according to the guidance group's suggestions. Zheng Aimin's true position is actually very clear. The so-called "working guidance group" is just a nice-sounding title. It's actually there to give some advice. The ultimate decision-making power for flood control and disaster relief still rests with

them, otherwise it would be overstepping bounds, and it wouldn't align with the original intention of Hua Jing sending a working guidance group. 。Next,常務副省長戈賢 added the sentence, "The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area accounts for 80% of the province's economic output. Keeping the Greater Bay Area stable means stabilizing Guangdong Province!" This was also an attempt to guide the working group's judgment. He hoped that the guidance group would consider the overall economic weight and prioritize downstream development over upstream development. This kind of decision cannot be made by the working group on behalf of Guangdong Province. Therefore, team leader Zheng Aimin emphasized: "What kind of flood control and disaster relief strategies should be adopted is the right of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee." 。Our working group strives to provide some scientific advice for reference, but we do not have the authority to make decisions on behalf of the Guangdong Provincial Committee. 。" Zheng Zuochang is right. " 。“As the Party Secretary of Guangdong Province, Xiong Qi opened the meeting and said, ‘The disaster in our province is a serious matter that requires strong leadership from the Provincial Party Committee. We must all work together with one heart and mind to overcome this challenge! Zheng, the head of the guidance group, we are facing an urgent situation and urgently need your advice.” 。"Group leader Zheng nodded solemnly: 'Secretary Xiong, please go ahead.'" 。Everyone's gaze turned to the provincial Party secretary, wondering what Xiong Qi meant by "emergency." 。Bear Flag said: “About two hours ago, the hydrological stations in the middle and lower reaches of the Pearl River sounded the alarm. The data showed that some cities were facing flooding, so the provincial committee ordered the upstream dams to release water for flood storage. They plan to wait for the guidance group to arrive, conduct scientific assessments, and then decide whether to continue storing or releasing water.” 。Currently, the relevant upstream rivers and reservoirs should be experiencing a rapid surge in water levels. 。So, we are about to make a choice now, for the upstream key counties, whether to continue flood storage or release floodwater Could the guidance group give us some advice based on your professional analysis 。Of course, the final decision was still made by the provincial committee!

Regarding letting the key counties in the three upstream cities release water for flood storage, it has indeed been over two hours. 。Some leaders sitting in the meeting room had almost forgotten, or perhaps never really cared. 。"Whether it's the next step or how to proceed, He (Xiong Qi, secretary of the CPC committee) still remembers and considers it a top priority." 。s located, and ask them to provide support, especially information support for their work. 。Xuehui, deputy said: “I understand the situation. I will report to the top and get back to you.” 。"Yelongyu...
