    Chunjiang City, Meteorological Bureau.

    The director of the Meteorological Bureau is under great pressure today. Since yesterday afternoon, the city government has been issuing documents urging him to quickly fire off cannons to drive away the rain clouds across the river.  However, the municipal party committee also had something to say. They must choose the right time to fire off the cannons, and they must not run away immediately.  As for when is the right time, Lu You, secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee, also gave him a hint.

    "This will make things difficult for the director of the Meteorological Bureau.  Those high-ranking men in the municipal party committee and city government may not understand, but he has been in charge of the Meteorological Bureau for several years, and he certainly knows that firing cannons to drive away rain clouds is not 100% guaranteed.  Sometimes, it can be beaten away, and sometimes, it cannot be beaten away at all.

    If I set off the cannons now, I will not be at fault. But if I follow Lu You's wishes and delay it for two days, if the cannons fail to drive away the rain clouds and the river floods again, I will inevitably become a weakling.  Unlucky guy.

    He wondered in his mind what he should do to get things done and protect himself without offending Yao Chun.  While he was thinking about it, another document from the city government came down, urging him to get rid of the rain clouds over Tongjiang as soon as possible. If time was delayed and Tongjiang flooded, he would be the only one to ask.

    Today¡¯s wording will be much harsher than yesterday. The director was a little panicked this time, and finally decided to call Lu You quickly, report the matter to Lu You, and ask for Lu You¡¯s opinion.  The most important thing is to tell Lu You that it is not 100% safe to shoot off the clouds and rain.  Finally, I told Lu You about the ultimatum that Mayor Sha had just issued, hoping that Lu You could give him an idea on what to do now.

    When he said this, Lu You understood what this guy meant.  But yes, no one wants to shoulder such a big responsibility, and Secretary Yao is also unwilling to shoulder such a responsibility. Otherwise, how could he have agreed to Gao Jue and kicked the ball to the Meteorological Bureau.

    Now that the Meteorological Bureau can no longer withstand the pressure, Lu You believes that this matter must be reported to Secretary Yao to see what Yao Chun means.

    Lu You comforted the other party and asked the director of the Meteorological Bureau to wait for the letter. Then he hung up the phone, left his office, and went to the municipal party secretary's office.

    Yao Chun saw Lu You coming and asked Lu You to sit on the sofa, and he went over to accompany him.  Lu You is his confidant, and the relationship between the two is irreversible, so naturally there will be no restraint.  Even tea is not needed.

    After a few polite words with Lu You, Yao Chun asked, "Lu You, why did you come to see me?"

    "It's like this. The Meteorological Bureau just called me and said that Shaluo had just started to put pressure again, and the words were very harsh. The Meteorological Bureau was a little overwhelmed. In addition, he also told me one thing, which was to set off artillery fire.  The matter of flying rain clouds does not mean that the rain clouds can be driven away as long as the sound of a cannon is fired, but there is a certain probability. The Meteorological Bureau is only half sure, maybe it can be driven away, maybe not. So,  He was very worried that if the cannons were fired but they could not be driven away, the water in the Tongjiang River would eventually rise and heavy rain would flood the Tongjiang River. He cannot bear this responsibility." Lu You said straightforwardly without being reserved.

    "It turns out that I was only half sure. I really didn't know before." Yao Chun groaned and took a deep breath.

    Now he realizes that something is wrong. If the flooding in Tongjiang River is real, when the river water rises, the cannons cannot drive away the rain clouds, and Tongjiang River encounters another flood. Not to mention that the Meteorological Bureau cannot afford to bear the blame. Even he can't.  I can't bear this responsibility.  You know, there are many officials who were unlucky because of the floods in the Tongjiang River. This was the case for Sun Qingye back then and Chen Kailong, the old secretary later.  It's just that Chen Kailong had a good opportunity and was able to retain the vice-provincial level. He was only stripped of his titles of Chunjiang Municipal Party Committee Secretary and Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee member, and was transferred to Jinhua Province as the vice-governor.  He made a mistake, but was able to come back to life in the end and reach the position of Provincial Party Committee Secretary. It was definitely a result of great luck and Chen Kailong's strong skills.  Yao Chun can be sure that if one day he wants to come back to life like Chen Kailong, it will be absolutely impossible.

    "Then what do you think we should do now?" Yao Chun looked at Lu You and said.

    "In my opinion, it's better to just let the Seismological Bureau fire off cannons to shoot at the rain clouds. If the rain clouds are driven away, then Gao Jue will be lucky and have survived this disaster. But based on the current time, the subway project is not ready to be completed.  , it¡¯s not that easy. If he doesn¡¯t run away, then he can¡¯t blame others.¡± Lu You said.

    "You are wrong." Yao Chun actually laughed.

    "It's wrong." Lu You was a little confused about what Yao Chun meant, and asked in confusion: "Why is it wrong?"

    "If Tongjiang really suffers from floods, do you think it's still too late to fire off cannons? Of course, if the rain clouds can be driven away, that's fine. But if they can't be driven away, when Tongjiang really floods, Shaluo will also have something to say,  He said that I did not listen to his and Gao Jue's opinions in time and delayed the best opportunity to fight off the rain clouds, which resulted in today's situation.?.  Back then, the result was the same.  Yao Chun said lightly.

    "This" Upon hearing this, Lu You took a breath and suddenly realized.  This is indeed the case. If the cannons fired now cannot drive away the rain clouds, they will still not be able to absolve themselves of responsibility.  "Secretary Yao, what do you think we should do?"

    "Now we can only bet on whether the river can generate water." Yao Chun said.

    "Betting? How to bet on this?" Lu You asked puzzledly.

    "If there is no water, then we win, if there is water, then we lose." Yao Chun said calmly.

    "How can we be sure about this? Moreover, we can't let the Meteorological Bureau do nothing." Lu You said.

    "Once the rain clouds are blown away, the river clears up, and the subway project is successfully constructed. Not to mention whether the project can be completed before the World Expo, Qianda Group will definitely not be able to sustain it. Now, I have no good way to save Qianda  With the amount of pre-sale funds, it is impossible to complete the project. As for using the completed real estate as a mortgage loan, I don¡¯t think we can get a lot of money. Wang Kangling, if this guy really  After forcing him to a dead end, it is hard to explain why he will jump over the wall if he sees me losing power. Withdrawing the funds from Hai Rong District will prove that the government's investment has failed. Shaluo can use this to make a fuss about me and move my place.  . So, we have only one way. As for firing off cannons to drive away the rain clouds, of course I don¡¯t want to flood the river. After all, if the losses are heavy, not only Gao Jue will have to go down, but even I will have to go down. But, you also said  Well, if you can't beat the rain cloud away at the best time with a 50-50 chance, then you have no choice but not to beat it away." Yao Chun said deeply.

    "I understand what you mean, but the government has put too much pressure on the Meteorological Bureau, and the Meteorological Bureau can't say nothing. It is expected that the Meteorological Bureau will not dare not to fire," Lu You said.

    "Isn't this difficult to handle?" Yao Chun raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "You should immediately ask people from the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau to inspect the Tongjiang River and find the most knowledgeable experts to check the water flow. Check the ebb and flow of the tide.  See if there is any difference. There are dams and dams on the river, but it is not just a little rain that will submerge the river. There will definitely be floods to help. Floods in the river always occur when the upstream reservoir releases water and the downstream tide rises.  Only by rushing through the dam. There is not much rain in the upper reaches of the Spring River right now, so it will definitely not force the flood to be discharged. However, it is not that easy to pass through the dam leading to the river based on the tide alone. Besides, the dam leading to the river has to be raised.  Even if it is not completed, it will be more difficult than before. Therefore, after confirming whether there is a big tide, let the Meteorological Bureau fire the cannon. If there is no abnormality, then don¡¯t fire half-heartedly; if there is really something strange, use all your strength.  Let¡¯s go¡±

    Lu You understood the meaning of his words very clearly, and judging from Yao Chun's tone, he was quite confident.

    Although Secretary Yao doesn¡¯t know much about meteorology, he still knows something about water conservancy.

    Experts from the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau rushed to Tongjiang River at noon that day to conduct flood surveys on the dam of Tongjiang River.  The weather in Chunjiang is sunny now, but it is raining moderately in Tongjiang. Regarding tidal floods, the upstream and downstream are actually the same. There is no problem in the upstream, so how can there be a problem in the downstream? Everything is business as usual.

    Judging by the water flow and tides, even if the river water rises due to rain, it is unlikely that heavy rain will flood the river.  When the tide is high, the water level is high, but when the tide is low, the river water flows into the sea, and there will never be any problems.  These experts have never heard that in spring, there will be tidal floods in the Spring River that last for several days. Without such tidal floods, it is simply impossible to flood the dams along the river.

    Moreover, today is different from the past, let alone the feudal society period two hundred years ago. The dams connecting the rivers are so high. Even if there is a flood that lasts for three or four days, as long as the upstream reservoir does not release floods, it will be difficult to flood the river.  Not that easy.

    After systematic research, the Water Conservancy Bureau reported to Lu You that based on the current tide, floods are unlikely to occur.  The current ebb and flow is the same as in previous years and there is no possibility of problems.

    After confirming this, Lu You knew what to do.

    At 11 o'clock that night, the Meteorological Bureau officially fired the cannon into the air, targeting the rain clouds over the Tongjiang River.

    As required, three shots were fired in a row.

    "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

    The sound of cannons rang out over Tongjiang River at night. For those who didn¡¯t know, they thought it was thunder.

    The rain clouds gathering over Tongjiang did not move at all.  However, it was not without any effect. At this time, it was still raining moderately in Tongjiang. After the sound of the cannons settled, the rain suddenly became heavier. There was lightning and thunder, and it actually started to rain heavily.

    The artillery shells fired by the Meteorological Bureau are certainly not artificial rainfall. They are indeed artillery shells intended to drive away rain clouds.  However, God knows what abnormal reaction occurred, causing the heavy rain to pour.

      It rained heavily all night in Tongjiang. In the morning, the rain became lighter and gradually stopped.  It's just that the clouds and mist haven't cleared away to see the sunny sky, it's still gloomy.

    But what no one expected was that the rain in Tongjiang stopped, but it started raining in Chunjiang.  The rain was particularly heavy as soon as it started.  The heavy rain in Chunjiang this time was very widespread, with heavy rain falling in several districts, and the upper reaches of Chunjiang were no exception.

    As soon as Yao Chun saw it raining in Chunjiang, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked.  The climate is so abnormal.  Yao Chun knew very well that in order to cause a flood in the Yangtze River, three conditions must be met. The first condition is to catch up with the continuous floods, the second condition is that it rains continuously in the Yangtze River, and the third condition is that the upper reaches of the Spring River  The reservoir reaches the water level standard and needs to be discharged.

    These three conditions are indispensable.

    Currently, only one of these three conditions is met, and that is continuous rain across the river.  The tides and floods are normal, and no abnormalities can be seen for the time being. However, the water level standard in the upper reaches of the Spring River would not have reached the flood discharge standard without continuous heavy rain.

    Yao Chun didn¡¯t want to show any signs of being cautious, so he immediately asked Lu You to give an order to the Meteorological Bureau to fire off cannons to drive away the rain clouds above the Spring River. Even if it didn¡¯t work, he would definitely drive away the rain clouds in the upper reaches of the Spring River.

    Lu You also knew how powerful it was, so he notified the Meteorological Bureau immediately, and the Meteorological Bureau quickly fired off six cannonballs in one go.

    "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

    The sky and the earth were shaking, but the rain clouds on Chunjiang River showed no intention of moving away, and the heavy rain continued.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? It not made that easy to stop rainfall artificially.  The Meteorological Bureau said that it is 50-50, but in fact it is not achievable. Especially after the clouds and rain fall, it is even more difficult to fight them away.

    It has been raining for a whole day in Chunjiang, and the heavy rain has no intention of stopping. It did not rain during the day in Tongjiang, but at night, it also started to rain.  For a time, it rained in almost all districts and counties under the jurisdiction of Chunjiang City.

    "If it rains just for one day, you can hear it the next day. Fortunately, Yao Chun won't be afraid.  But when he woke up in the morning, the less he wanted to see something, the more he saw something.  The pouring rain shows no signs of stopping.

    Yao Chun was panicking now. After arriving at the Municipal Party Committee, he immediately asked everyone to notify all the Standing Committee members that a meeting of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee was to be held at eleven o'clock.  In the past, Yao Chun had to give some time to travel far away. It seems that Gaojue is in Tongjiang District, which is not close to the city. It cannot be reached within two hours.  Therefore, most announcements are made in the morning and meetings are held in the afternoon.  But Yao Chun couldn't wait today and gave Gao Jue three hours to come. The meeting will begin at eleven o'clock.

    When Gao Jue received the notice, he could immediately guess that the content of today's meeting must be about the city's flood prevention work.  The meeting was held at eleven o'clock instead of in the afternoon, which also showed Yao Chun's anxiety.

    Time was tight, but the meeting could not be delayed. Gao Jue took a car and hurried to the municipal party committee.

    It¡¯s raining so heavily, it¡¯s raining in Tongjiang, it¡¯s also raining in Chunjiang City, it¡¯s raining heavily all the way, the visibility is limited, even if the driver is in a hurry, the driver doesn¡¯t dare to drive very fast.

    ?????????????????????? It¡¯s God¡¯s fault. Halfway through, there was a car accident on the street, which was tightly blocked. I had no choice but to go around.  As a result, it was 10:58 when we arrived at the municipal committee.  The driver stopped under the municipal party committee office building. After Gao Jue got off the car, he quickly ran into the building and rushed to the conference room.

    Gao Jue always comes early when there are meetings, but today he is stuck in arriving. He might even be later than Secretary Yao.

    He hurried to the conference room, and as soon as he stepped into the conference room, he happened to see Secretary Yao standing in front of him, with his back facing him. It was obvious that Yao Chun had just entered the door.

    The members of the Standing Committee in the conference room were all greeting Yao Chun. Yao Chun was polite to everyone, and suddenly found that there was one person missing from the last position, and Gao Jue hadn't come yet.  So, Yao Chun stood there and asked, "Is Gao Jue here?"

    "Here, Secretary Yao, I'm here. It's raining heavily on the road and the car can't drive fast." As soon as Gao Jue heard Yao Chun ask him, he immediately spoke without anyone else talking.

    Hearing Gao Jue's voice behind him, Yao Chun's face could not help but darken, but he did not have an attack. After all, Gao Jue was right.  Yao Chun didn't look back at Gao Jue, and walked towards his seat without even saying a word.

    When Gao Jue saw Yao Chun moving, he followed suit and walked to his seat to sit down.  He and Yao Chun basically sat down on their front and back legs.

    Yao Chun glanced around, made some opening remarks as usual, and then brought up matters about flood prevention work.

    Flood prevention is on the riverside. Whose pipe section should be responsible for it will naturally be responsible.  Yao Chun ordered the commander-in-chief of the Municipal Flood Control Headquarters to deploy the key work points.  ?The focus of flood control is Tongjiang District.  Yao Chun said that Gao Jue should be prepared for flood control in Tongjiang District and be on guard, just in case.  It is also raining in the upper reaches of the Spring River. I don't know how many days it will rain. If the rain is heavy and the rain is still so heavy, it will definitely be forced to release the flood.  If the tide catches up, it's no joke. You, Gao Jue, must be ready to protect Tongjiang. If an accident occurs, I will ask you.

    It would be better if he didn't say that he would question you. As soon as he said this, Shaluo rushed to say: "Secretary Yao, you said that if an accident occurs in Tongjiang District, Gao Jue will be questioned. Now I want to ask  Secretary Yao, when Gao Jue proposed firing off cannons to drive away the rain clouds over the Tongjiang River, why did you block it and refuse to agree when you were just taking precautions? In addition, there are Deputy Mayor Zhang and Minister Li.  , I also want to ask you, what did you think at that time? They kept saying that spring rain is as precious as oil, and the earth needs rain to moisten it for rejuvenation. However, the rain in Tongjiang District has already exceeded the standard, and the bankers have been flooded. Gao Jue begged for help  Gentleman, the statement is great, but why no one listens? The most puzzling thing is that as the mayor of Chunjiang City, I ordered the Meteorological Bureau to fire cannons to drive away the rain clouds. This was originally a small matter, but I didn¡¯t expect that it could be done.  Go to the Standing Committee and vote! It¡¯s okay now. It¡¯s raining heavily all over the Spring River, and the rain in Tongjiang River is the heaviest. Instead, the responsibility is put on Gao Jue. What¡¯s the truth?¡± (To be continued.
