Chapter 12 The Eve of the Earthquake

Although Chen Weixiong is a department-level cadre and has an equal level relationship with the leader of the 305th Regiment, he came out of the military organs after all. Relatively speaking, when he arrived in the regiment, he was the leader. When he first arrived in the company, he was a leader. In this regard, Chen Weixiong knew very well. No matter what, he had to stay here for half a month and could not give others face too much. So Chen Weixiong didn't say anything about the arrangements in the regiment. After the first three glasses of wine, as usual, Chen Weixiong should say something on behalf of the military organs.

Holding the wine glass, Chen Weixiong stood up.

"Comrades, the military leader asked me as a representative to say hello to the comrades who work at the grassroots level!"

"Wow, wow, wow..." Naturally, applause was heard.

Chen Weixiong continued: "This time I came to our 305th Regiment. In response to Chairman Mao's call, I came to join the army. I met you today and gathered for you. After tomorrow, I will live in the company's platoon, eat, live, work, and complete military training with the soldiers. Let's think I am an ordinary soldier. Here, I thank you everyone!" As he said that, Chen Weixiong drank the wine in his hand and lit the bottom of the cup.

"Director Chen, we have arranged all of these. At that time, you will live in the dormitory of the Propaganda Section of the regiment. You have to worry about helping our regiment to catch a few typical propaganda, and also helping us to lead a few officials of the Propaganda Section." Since Chairman Mao and his elders asked the commanders and political commissars of several major military regions to join the company, the matter of cadres joining the company has formed a routine. Grassroots units have been dealing with these with ease. Logically speaking, such arrangements are the best now.

"No, this time I will go to your battalion and line-by-line. I always stay in the organs. If I don't move for a while, my body will protest." Chen Weixiong thought about it on the way, and this time he would go to the company to live in the garage according to the arrangement of his own baby son. Of course, when he said this, he had to take into account the face of the leader in the regiment. So he found a reason himself.

Chen Weixiong's arrangement was beyond everyone's expectations. It was normal for the cadres of the agency to go to the company, but no one really got off duty directly. The first reaction of Captain Wang was that this was the problem with the order?

"Old Chen, has something happened in one row?" Captain Wang and Chen Weixiong have known each other for many years, and they are in the same level, so there are not so many taboos when he speaks, but his voice lowers his voice when he speaks.

"Come on, come on, come on, everyone, eat." After saying this, Chen Weixiong sat down. The others knew that after saying what had just happened, they drank the wine in the cup, and the banquet officially began. As for how Chen Weixiong arranged it, it was Captain Wang's business. So no one else was polite and started eating and drinking.

"It's okay, I really want to go down and exercise, otherwise my belly will be thrust out." Chen Weixiong whispered to Captain Wang. In fact, this was not made up by him, and Chen Zhaojun had laughed at him.

"Oh, I didn't expect that Old Chen, you are really here to exercise!" Captain Wang believed this time. Chen Weixiong didn't want to lie to him in this matter.

"You don't know, the third child in our family joked about me all day long, saying that if I don't exercise, I will lose my toes in a few years. I thought this was right, so I should exercise more while my belly has not grown. Every year, don't waste such opportunities." I have a good relationship with Captain Wang, so Chen Weixiong basically said whatever he said.

"The third brother in your family? Did you just make zha medicine and blow up the military water intake? I heard that a boy is amazing."

Chen Weixiong was a little amused at this time, and he didn't know how this was passed. When it came to this, even the water intake of the military headquarters was blown up.

"You are all rumoring this. My third boy made some medicine with his brother, but he went to fry fish. Who said that he even fryed the water intake?"

"It's really not? I heard that even the military headquarters' combat duty room was alarmed, and the army even wrote a special article." Commander Wang was a little disbelief. After all, it was alarmed by the combat duty room, and the army even wrote a document. Why didn't there be any major incidents happen?

"You just support them and talk nonsense! That's because the zha medicine they made was pretty good, and they released too much, but the sound was too loud. The combat duty room thought something was wrong and it made a fuss." When talking about this, Chen Weixiong couldn't help feeling a little proud. After all, it was his own son.

"Then how many medicines did they use?" Captain Wang was surprised. He had seen the earthy medicine for fried fish, which was more powerful than firecrackers. If you use something, how much would it take to make such a big noise.

"It's only about 2 kilograms, but I asked the people from the logistics department and they made standard zha medicine, which may be more powerful." Chen Weixiong was not humble and said honestly.

"This is not awesome. I heard that your old son is less than 7 years old!" Captain Wang was very surprised. Thinking about his two sons, they are both 17 and 8 years old, they are idle all day long, and they can't do anything except fight and cause trouble. He is preparing to throw them into the army this year...

That night, Chen Weixiong stayed at the Guesthouse of the regiment headquarters, because it was too late when the banquet was dispersed. He didn't want to go to the company's platoon with the smell of alcohol.

Lying in bed at night, he remembered the homework that Chen Zhaojun gave him, and took it out and saw it. It was written in detail on how to command in a unified manner during earthquake relief, how to use limited manpower to find the most valuable targets at the fastest speed, how to rescue them, how to use tools in the absence of large machinery, how to arrange tools for different buildings, etc.

Looking at Chen Zhaojun's paper, it was like a rescue plan. Thinking of what his son said in the morning, Chen Weixiong felt that if he was a soldier, he should be better than his son in any case when he was planning. Chen Weixiong had the intention of competing, but this time the target was not someone else, but his own son Chen Zhaojun.

That night, the lights in Chen Weixiong's room at the 305th Regiment Guesthouse were not turned off. With the things written by his son and the book of villains that his son forced him to come over, at dawn, a detailed plan of the earthquake relief organization appeared on the table of the guesthouse. Chen Weixiong was still very satisfied with his efficiency and achievements. After all, it was much better and more detailed than the thing Chen Zhaojun made. After returning, he should teach several children how to write the plan. Chen Weixiong was thinking in his heart...

The 305th Regiment's first battalion, company and row are not far from the regiment headquarters. They are usually used as the guard platoon of the regiment headquarters. After all, it is more convenient. Chen Weixiong was very satisfied. He really took out the energy to exercise and lived with the soldiers. This also made Chen Weixiong's tense nerves at all times relax a lot in the military organs.

Later that afternoon, Chen Weixiong came back from working with the soldiers and found some very abnormal situations, which made his nerves tense up, which had already relaxed.

"Hi, hey, look, why are these mice running around everywhere? Are they not afraid of people at all?" On the way back to the barracks, a few mice were scattered on the road, not paying attention to the soldiers who were queuing up.

It would be fine if this incident was an accidental phenomenon. Who knew that after taking a few steps, he encountered such a thing several times, which attracted Chen Weixiong's attention. The content of the book about the Xingtai earthquake that I read two days ago appeared in Chen Weixiong's mind.

What's wrong? Is it difficult to cause an earthquake? Chen Weixiong's head turned to such an idea. He looked up at the sky and saw a group of sparrows that should have returned to his nest were chirping in the sky. This scene made Chen Weixiong take a breath. It seemed something was wrong.

With this idea, Chen Weixiong returned to the barracks, felt at ease, and came to the faucet to wash his hands. Who knew that when the faucet opened, what was flowing out was no longer the clear spring that he had used to, but the turbid sewage. Now, Chen Weixiong felt that this was really something wrong. He knew that the 305th Regiment usually used spring water, and it was like what it was when it was pumped up. Usually, many soldiers drank directly at the faucet. Today, such water means that the water underground became muddy. This is definitely not good news.

What Chen Weixiong thinks most now is some precursors that occurred before the Xingtai earthquake described in the villain book Chen Zhaojun gave him. Are these abnormal situations today also precursors of earthquakes? Chen Weixiong dared not say it above. He knew that he could not say such things before an earthquake really occurred. But Chen Weixiong felt that he should do something.

According to general practice, when the company under the leadership of the superior organs is about to leave, they will conduct a full regiment-wide exercise to show the style of the soldiers. Originally, Chen Weixiong was not going to do this, after all, he was not the military chief. But today, he felt that he should practice this practice, after all, he would return to the military headquarters in two days.

Leader Wang was very surprised. Chen Weixiong, who had always had dinner with Yilian, came to the small canteen of the regiment headquarters today to have dinner.

"Captain Wang, I will return to the military headquarters in two days. Why don't we have an emergency gathering tonight?" Chen Weixiong said.

Captain Wang was stunned, but nodded quickly with understanding: "Okay, you can blow the whistle then!" After all, this is a routine, so it is easy to understand.

"Then let me inform you, don't bring your backpack, and gather in the playground of the tour group." Chen Weixiong said it very easily, and no one knew that he was not at all at this moment.

Commander Wang was a little confused. Logically speaking, the emergency assembly was sudden and required to be fully armed. But who had heard that the emergency assembly would be notified and did not need to bring a backpack? Is this still a point of an emergency assembly? But when he thought about it, he understood that Chen Weixiong wanted to take advantage of the emergency assembly opportunity to have a meeting. In this way, the emergency assembly should be before the number of wake-up numbers of Dawn.

"Okay, I'll let the staff inform you now." After thinking through what Chen Weixiong meant, Commander Wang seemed very relaxed. In fact, as long as he was not ready for combat, the troops were generally unwilling to engage in emergency gatherings, which was too tiring. Chen Weixiong did this, which should be said to have greatly reduced the pressure of emergency gatherings, and the soldiers would not complain about anything. Because the most feared thing about emergency gatherings is sudden attacks. When prepared, it is still very relaxed.

"Staff General Li, wait and notify each company once, and gather urgently tonight without a backpack." Commander Wang ordered...
