But the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau clearly stated on the phone that there would be a thunderstorm and tsunami at 9:10 tomorrow?
This sounds incredible...
Although Li Jianbin did not dare to slack off because of the past actions of the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau, he immediately summoned Wang, the person in charge of the Meteorological Detection Department of the East Region Fleet, to have an in-depth discussion on the content of the previous phone call.
"Director Wang, have you detected any signs of abnormal weather recently?" Li Jianbin asked directly, "For example, will there be a thunderstorm tomorrow, or a tsunami or other natural disasters?"
Chief Wang seemed a little confused by this sudden question. He shook his head and asked curiously, "Commander, why do you ask this all of a sudden? We are monitoring the weather conditions in the East Region around the clock. Once there are any signs of natural disasters that may threaten the safety of citizens, we will immediately issue an early warning. If we really find anything, don't worry, we will definitely report it as soon as possible."
As he spoke, Director Wang looked at Li Jianbin with a pair of puzzled eyes, obviously puzzled by why he was suddenly summoned and asked such a question.
Li Jianbin frowned and pondered for a while before he slowly spoke: "I just received a call from the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau. They said that at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, there will be a large-scale thunderstorm over the East Region, and then a tsunami is likely to occur on the East Region sea surface. Doesn't your meteorological department have any signs of this?"
Director Wang shook his head firmly and said, "Commander, if this really happened, our weather radar system would not have no reaction at all. Whether it is a thunderstorm or a tsunami, their formation can be traced and it is impossible for them to appear out of thin air. According to our current data, the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau's statement is simply untenable."
Although Wang was so sure, Li Jianbin's worries were not completely dissipated. He walked to the window and stared at the distant east region, which had been covered with dark clouds for months. He wondered, could the detection department's instruments really be so reliable? What if something went wrong this time?
After some thought, Li Jianbin finally made a decision. He turned around, looked at Wang and said, "Issue the warning immediately. It is better to send out a thousand warnings than to miss one. If everything is normal at nine o'clock tomorrow, I will naturally go to the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau to ask for clarification. But what if it really happens? If we receive the warning but do not take any action, it will be our dereliction of duty, and we will bear all the consequences."
As the deputy commander of the East Region Fleet, Li Jianbin is a shrewd man. He did not dare to be careless about the call from the Jiumen Feng Shui Bureau.
Although Wang was somewhat reluctant, he could only nod and agree, and then left. Soon, several service vehicles drove out of the East Region Fleet and headed to the surrounding coastal villages to carry out prevention work and organize the villagers to evacuate quickly to a safe area. At the same time, the East Region Fleet also issued a sea closure order, and all fishing boats were not allowed to go out to sea tomorrow. The whole team also began to prepare for flood prevention and disaster relief work in full swing.
All this turmoil stemmed from a phone call from the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau, but Li Jianbin certainly could not use this as a public reason. Therefore, the soldiers below were puzzled by the order issued by Li Jianbin.
However, this did not affect the execution of Li Jianbin's order.
Several coastal cities in the Eastern Region also received calls. In ZS City, the person in charge frowned in confusion and asked on the phone: "What department is the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau?"
The fat man on the other end of the phone did not have as much patience as Wang Cheng. He was too lazy to explain and said directly: "Don't ask so many questions. Quickly activate the early warning and take flood prevention measures. It is still impossible to determine the level of the tsunami. It will be too late if you delay any longer. Don't blame me for not reminding you then." After that, the fat man hung up the phone, leaving the person in charge of ZS City holding the receiver in a daze, at a loss.
The mayor of TZ City also received a call at the same time. After the call was connected, Ma Xiaoling immediately stated her purpose: "We are the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau of the Greater Region. Now we are notifying you that at 9:10 tomorrow morning, there will be a large-scale thunderstorm in the East Region, accompanied by strong winds. The possible earthquake on the seabed of the East Region may trigger a tsunami. Please take disaster prevention measures as soon as possible." After Ma Xiaoling finished speaking, she hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to respond. Before the person in charge of ZS City could react, a busy tone came from the phone.
"What on earth is going on?" The head of ZS City sat in his office, thinking about the phone call with a confused look on his face.
Similar situations occurred in several other cities. The members of the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau called each city one by one to inform the city to respond as soon as possible. However, the city would not easily believe such a sudden call. They immediately reported the content of the call to their superiors.
In a short period of time, the reports from various cities confused Liu Shuoliang, the general manager of the Zhejiang region. These reports all mentioned the call from the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau, and the estimated time of the disaster was the same. The cities could not make up their minds and could only report the matter, which put Liu Shuoliang in front of the problem.
Looking at these reports, Liu Shuoliang was full of doubts. How did the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau predict the disaster in advance? And it could be accurate to a specific time like 9:10 tomorrow. This time did not seem to be casually said.
Therefore, Liu Shuoliang immediately contacted the Provincial Meteorological Bureau to verify the authenticity of the incident. However, the head of the Provincial Meteorological Bureau said that he had no knowledge of this. According to their monitoring, tomorrow's weather will be normal and there will be no thunderstorm.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Shuoliang quickly contacted the Geological Bureau. The Geological Bureau's response was exactly the same. They did not detect any signs of an undersea earthquake. Although they said they would continue to pay attention, they obviously did not believe this so-called prediction.
Liu Shuoliang didn't know what to do for a moment. After all, the report mentioned that the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau was a regional department established by the region. It stands to reason that such a regional department would not make such a joke. But Liu Shuoliang was really undecided about this sudden warning.
After careful consideration, Liu Shuoliang decided to call Liu Tong, the general manager of the region, to ask what was going on. The call was quickly connected, but Liu Tong was obviously very confused by the call from Liu Shuoliang. The two were not close friends, they had only met a few times during meetings and were considered colleagues. Unless there were special circumstances, they would hardly contact each other.
Therefore, as soon as the call was connected, Liu Tong asked in a puzzled tone: "Is this General Manager Liu Shuoliang? What do you want to talk to me about?"
In response to Liu Tong's inquiry, Liu Shuoliang said directly: "General Manager Liu Tong, I would like to ask, is the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau a department of your province?"
When Liu Tong heard the words "Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau", he immediately became serious. He knew very well that matters related to the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau were often very serious.
"General Manager Liu, the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau is indeed a regional-level department of the region. What exactly happened?" Liu Tong asked.
Liu Shuoliang roughly recounted what happened, and then raised the question that had always puzzled him: "What exactly is the responsibility of the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau? Why did they predict disasters in advance? Isn't this the responsibility of the Meteorological Bureau and the Geological Bureau? And I have already verified with the Provincial Meteorological Bureau and the Geological Bureau, and the call from the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau does not seem to be accurate. I want to know what is going on?" After listening to Liu Shuoliang's narration, Liu Tong frowned. After a moment of silence, he said to the phone: "General Manager Liu, I just learned about this matter. I will verify the situation with the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau as soon as possible, but there is one thing I want to make clear in advance. I suggest that you do as the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau says as soon as possible and make arrangements for disaster prevention measures. This department will never make such a joke. Since they said that there will be thunderstorms and other disasters at 9:10, it will definitely happen."
"This..." Liu Shuoliang was speechless for a moment. After hanging up the phone, he was still a little dazed.
He could feel from Liu Tong's words that Liu Tong trusted and valued the Jiumen Feng Shui Bureau. But the problem was that Liu Tong himself didn't know the reason. Where did this trust come from?
If it were in the past, Liu Shuoliang might have been able to ignore it, but now even Liu Tong, the general manager of the region, said so, so he naturally did not dare to take it lightly.
After a brief thought, Liu Shuoliang immediately issued an order: All cities that received calls from the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau should immediately and secretly arrange disaster prevention measures. However, all steps must be carried out in secret, at least before it is confirmed that a disaster will really happen, so as not to cause panic among the people.
This is also a way out Liu Shuoliang left for all cities. What if the people knew about it and the disaster did not happen? Wouldn't that be a joke?
After receiving the notice, the relevant cities, although full of doubts, quickly began to implement it. Service personnel from all over the country went out one after another, first to the suburban villages closest to the seaside, and temporarily relocated all the fishermen in the county town on the grounds that they needed to requisition a site for temporary exercises.
Afterwards, they set up flood control belts and cordons on the seashore. All cities suddenly became busy, and all ships anchored in the harbor were evacuated.
The crew went upstream to the most dangerous areas. Each person was equipped with a first aid kit with enough medicine, drinking water and other necessities for 72 hours. This was a difficult preparation because all crew members needed to be prepared for the dangers they might encounter in a tsunami.
In coastal areas like this, once a tsunami forms, the danger level will increase dramatically. However, no one can predict the location and course of the tsunami, so it is impossible to effectively prevent and control the tsunami based on its route.
Therefore, the service personnel could only block the entire coastal area, and all fishermen in the city were evacuated. All seaports were closed to ships, and the alert level was raised to above red alert.
The formation of the tsunami was caused by an undersea earthquake, but the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau also said on the phone that there would be strong winds in the East Region. Once a tsunami is formed and there is a strong wind to boost it, the consequences will be disastrous.
Because of this, even though it was difficult to determine whether it was true or not, the general manager still issued the order. His idea was the same as Li Jianbin's, it was better to believe it than not to believe it.
All preparations were completed in secret until 12 o'clock that evening. Fleets from all over the country and the Eastern Region were quietly waiting for tomorrow's arrival.
Several meteorological and geological bureaus are still stepping up their efforts to detect changes in air currents and earthquake sources in the East Region. Although they still have no clue until now, such a large-scale preparation operation makes everyone dare not take it lightly.
This call from the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau still confuses everyone until now. They naturally questioned the matter instinctively, but they did not dare to take risks in such a serious situation.
If the disaster predicted by the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau does not occur at 9:10 tomorrow, then the various fleets and the Eastern Region Fleet will certainly question them. But if the disaster really comes and everyone is not prepared, such a mistake will bring extremely serious consequences.
Driven by this mentality, all places had completed all preparations by 12 o'clock tonight. All ships were strictly prohibited from entering and leaving the port, and some ships that stopped in the middle were also ordered to be blocked and not allowed to leave.
Such an order undoubtedly put all the senior executives under tremendous pressure. Some of the responsible persons even paced back and forth in the office late at night. They were very conflicted. They didn't want to believe that such a thing was true, but they also wondered if there were any measures that had not been implemented.
This night was destined to be difficult for everyone, but the alternation of day and night never changed according to people's will. When the first ray of sunlight shone on various cities, the sky above the Eastern Region was still as dark as night.
Li Jianbin, the deputy commander of the Eastern Fleet closest to the Eastern Region, could even feel the oppression in the air. There was no wind on the sea, and the gloomy dark clouds seemed to be even lower, making everyone feel a little breathless.
At this moment, the Eastern Region was like being immersed in the last tranquility before the storm...
At the same time, all cities and relevant meteorological and geological bureaus actively responded to the call and entered a state of alert. All equipment was running at full capacity to closely monitor the meteorological dynamics and crustal activities in the eastern region. At this moment, everyone was full of doubts, but no one dared to slack off.
The call from the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. The top leaders in various cities in the Eastern Region were on high alert and on alert.
As the starting point of all these events, the city of Met was unusually quiet at the moment. The brand new Met City Center Building shone brightly in the sun, and it looked particularly dazzling. In the square in front of the building, a completion ceremony was being prepared.
Mo City head Cai Yongqiang and Cao Zhengyang and other important officials all appeared at the ceremony in a low-key manner, and officials from various departments also showed up. Although everyone had a smile on their face, they all had their own plans in mind.
As for the city, they do not believe that building this building can change the so-called Feng Shui. However, this result is something everyone is happy to see. (End of this chapter)
This sounds incredible...
