County Magistrate

  After ending his communication with Xu De, Wang Sang no longer considered Zhao Zhong and Song Ba's problem. For himself, the most important task now was to protect the county town.

  The nearby county town has a population of just over 200,000, although some five-story commercial buildings have started to be built, but economic activities are not developed. So far, there is no public transportation, and it takes less than a day to walk through the entire county town on foot. In the eyes of those city soldiers, this is no different from a rural village.

  There isn't a transportation hub nearby, and the roads in the county wouldn't be that good either. To this day, there are only two things that can make people in the county town proud: one is the county hospital, and the other is the straight asphalt road in the county.

  Because it had to independently undertake the transportation tasks of more than a dozen outposts and sentry stations on the nearby mountains, the Transportation Company was equipped according to the establishment of an enhanced company. With over 400 people, there were more than ten heavy trucks alone, and in addition to military missions, defending the county seat was also their main responsibility.

  "Commander Lian, since it's an emergency, why didn't you request a helicopter from the regiment to rescue Songba?"

  Wang Sang put down the receiver and returned to studying the county map on his desk. Lu Li couldn't help but ask a question.

  Since the country strengthened its military, the brigade also added a helicopter unit, which is mainly used for various emergency rescue missions. Although Lu Li didn't want to say that the transportation company's rescue plan was incorrect, putting one soldier's life on another soldier's life was indeed somewhat adventurous.

  "...Luguanshi, the team is on the other side of the blizzard. If we were to say that a helicopter would fly around the blizzard to carry out the rescue, it's not just a matter of whether it can make it in time, but also the risk factor is too high."

  Wang Sang looked at Lu Li with a puzzled expression, although his tone was very ordinary, but he still found it difficult to understand Lu Li's suggestion.

  "I understand now."

  He hesitated for a moment, and then spat out a sentence. This wasn't to say that he understood why Wang Sang hadn't sought help from the troop department, but rather that he had finally figured out why he had been transferred to the transportation company for training. Although his communication skills were solid and his understanding of the troops' situation was sufficient, he still lacked some knowledge of local conditions and geography.

  Although he didn't understand what Luri was saying, Wang Sang also didn't mean to delve deeper. Exposing other people's scars wasn't something he enjoyed doing, and for now, he still had to discuss the work arrangements with County Magistrate Lama.

  Due to the extremely small population of the county, all disaster prevention and mitigation work in the county seat are entrusted to the transportation company, which even has a fire truck.

  "Hello! Is this the county mayor's office? I'm Wang Sang from the Transportation Brigade. Is the county mayor in?"

  "Is that Wang Sang? Do you have something to ask me?"

  Hearing the familiar and intimate address from the receiver, Wang Sang's mouth corners twitched slightly.

  Everyone knows that LAMA is a county flower, even if she's married, but still an object of pursuit for many people. LAMA is 32 years old this year, not only beautiful in appearance, but also doing things with great enthusiasm. Although she got married as early as the highlanders, she was not content with ordinary family life, and a few years ago, she went to the provincial city to do business, and after returning, she invested in her hometown, which is also the main reason why she became the county head.

  Perhaps in some large and medium-sized counties, the main leaders of the county are appointed by their superiors, but in such a small county town, the selection of county leaders will be more dependent on public opinion. Moreover, after LAMA returned to his hometown and joined the party, he was elected as the county head after two years of investigation and training, which is also a matter of course.

  Lama returned to her hometown, not because she couldn't make a living outside, nor did she have the idea of returning home after falling leaves. It was because after her husband's death, she could only feel the warmth left by her husband here. For the development of her hometown and for the land where her husband had fought for his whole life, she also wanted to build the county town well.

  As Lhama's introducer to the party, Wangsan naturally supported her ideas. But when Lhama suddenly started calling herself "older brother" at some point, Wangsan always had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

  It's not the time to think about these things, Wang Sang shook his head and drove away the extra thoughts in his mind, calmly saying: "County Magistrate Ram, just now we received news that this blizzard may be affected by wind speed and is likely to stay nearby for a long time. I hope you can study it with the county team as soon as possible and come up with a new emergency plan, and then I will take the troops over."

  In the original plan, since the blizzard would pass through the county quickly, the transportation team was mainly preparing for post-disaster relief work. After all, there are limited ways to prevent blizzards, and as long as each household secures their homes and doesn't venture out easily, there won't be too many problems. However, if the blizzard lingers, the troops would need to immediately enter the county and be ready to assist with emergency rescue efforts at any time.

  "What? Is this true? I've been watching the news and listening to the radio, and just called the meteorological station a moment ago, why didn't they say that the blizzard would linger?"

  Although I know that Wang Sang is unlikely to speak empty words, ordinary people are still used to trusting the weather forecast and believing in the meteorological station.

  "That's because they weren't on the scene. Your brother-in-law said that too, he's now on the mountain."

  Wang Sang's words did not show any excessive urgency, and in such a small county town, the concentration of power and ability in a few families is not uncommon. After all, under the circumstances of backward education and lack of communication with the outside world, family-style growth is also a very normal thing.

  Knowing that her brother-in-law was capable, Ramya was also surprised and immediately said: "Okay, I know. I'll go to the county committee meeting right away to re-arrange the emergency plan... By the way, Wang Sang, why did my brother-in-law rush up the mountain? Is there a dangerous task?"

  "Don't worry, your brother-in-law is not in any danger. He's now with the road construction team of over a hundred people and will only come down from the mountain after the blizzard. You can let your sister know, I won't notify her separately."

  "Alright, I'll hang up first. Brother Wang Sang, you'd better send someone over quickly too! This small county town can't withstand the blizzard without your help."

  Listening to Ram's urgent tone on the phone, Wang Sang also had a subtle sigh. Compared to men, women may be more sensitive and cautious about various dangers. The plateau people do not have any distinction between men and women, only the difference in inner strength.
