Chapter 798: Chapter 514: Heard You’re Going to Change the Law? _3
This made Fang Huai’s heart skip a beat.
Oh my god.
It still has to be a local, someone who knows everything.
But from the tone of it, why does it feel like they’re using my "Imperial Sword" to suppress those who usually don’t obey?
He knew about the supermarket chain; they were the retail king of the Northeast, with their headquarters in Dalian. It was normal for the city to bring them in for support.
A retail supermarket chain with hundreds of billions in volume is not a small deal. It’s a densely staffed place that’s key to firefighting inspections. Looking at Chief Cong’s snappy demeanor, it’s probably not easy to manage on a regular basis. It’s a big relationship; when it comes to inspections and such, it’s normal to pressure Chief Cong with connections.
The supermarket chain spoke up, "That... Chief Cong! Construction vehicles and sand and gravel are easy to handle! We’ll prepare them right now! As for food... what do you think would be appropriate?"
Chief Cong actually cracked a smile.
"Just now, I heard many soldiers saying they want to eat dumplings! Don’t you have frozen dumplings? Just prepare some dumplings! Be careful! This is our soldiers’ charge meal! Don’t botch it!"
Everyone present twitched their faces, and even Fang Huai struggled to keep the corners of his mouth from twitching.
Including us, and about a hundred people from the detachment, that’s seven or eight hundred people on site, right?
Plus the reinforcements en route, wouldn’t that be over a thousand? freēwebnovel.com
Eating dumplings and they can’t be mushy?!
This is literally pushing people to the brink.
But the request wasn’t too high, tonight’s dinner might be the soldiers’ last supper. They didn’t ask for freshly wrapped dumplings, just frozen ones, which is already quite good.
The leadership of the supermarket chain seemed to have had a stroke, uncomfortable even in their expressions.
After several seconds of silence, he finally said, "Um... just dumplings is not enough, right? Our supermarket has a wide variety of ready-to-eat fruits! How about this! I’ll have them bring more varieties over!
Also, I’ve noticed that our detachment’s firefighting equipment is a bit outdated, and the soldiers are working so hard! The group has decided to contribute another 10 million, for the update of the firefighting equipment and as a reward for those who contributed to this fire!"
Now, Chief Cong showed a satisfied smile.
"Okay! The supermarket chain truly cares about the people and the soldiers! Let’s do it this way!"
Fang Huai felt his scalp go numb.
He didn’t want to live anymore.
Since joining the firefighting force, he had lost face before, but this was the first time someone had taken such advantage of him!
F*ck, it’s my "Imperial Sword," and you’ve gotten 10 million out of it?
Fang Huai, momentarily forgetting the danger posed by the fire, arranged things quickly with a dark face, without giving Chief Cong a chance to speak.
"... Traffic Police, ensure the cooling agent is in place within an hour! I’ve calculated our existing firefighting strength can only guarantee three hours of safety. These three hours are also the only time we have to turn the battle around! The success of the operation depends on the cooperation of all departments! Move out!"
His voice was stern and commanding, as orders were clearly issued. The "Little Fang" of now truly exhibited leadership qualities.
Deputy Commander Fang, compared to the times at Jiwei Mountain, now looked even more like a deputy commander.
...
The fire was consuming half of Dagushan’s sky, while the other half was black, smoke gathering in thousands of times its original volume, forming a meteorologically significant cloud mass.
The voices of Fang Huai and Chief Cong Shuyin interwove across the command channel on their handheld radios. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"Well 42 exploded near the tank and there’s flowing fire! Fan Jun! Have your Xigang Squad organize a position, you must block it!"
"Chief! One of our soldiers in the squadron got sprayed with oil! His clothes caught fire! He’s got burns! Give me three minutes!"
"Can’t wait! Have someone help the injured soldier out! You guys have to cover immediately!"
"Yes!!"
"Wang Guokai!"
"Here, here!"
"You go! Get the airport detachment’s truck-mounted foam cannon!"
"Cao Yi! Cao Yi! Why isn’t the high spray set up yet?!"
"The fire lane isn’t six meters wide! They built flower beds on both sides of the fire lane! It’s at most four meters wide, absolutely impossible to deploy!"
"F*cking fire lanes with flower beds? Which f*cking idiot designed this?! Up the mountain! Go higher and look for a flat area! Wait, I’m coming there now!"
Wearing a silver heat-resistant suit, Fang Huai cursed aloud as he sprinted across the field.
He wasn’t a commander who stayed in the command center; whichever position had issues, that’s where he would be.
If some small flowing fires blocked the way, he would don a mask and charge through in two leaps. Sometimes, everyone could see a commander covered in flames approaching their position while shouting: "Some water here, douse me with some water!"
The crazy commander.
But Fang Huai’s actions made some of the craziest orders seem reasonable tonight, and the soldiers, too, were as insanely committed to the frontline as this Deputy Commander Fang.
"Fang Huai! There’s a staircase there! How do we get the high spray up?!"
"Use tires as a base! Drive it up! If the undercarriage gets scratched, let Shenyang Headquarters fix it for us! If the vehicle breaks down, I’ll report it, and have the company behind the oil depot compensate us! It’s urgent, stop dawdling!"
"Even if we get it up there, the water pressure won’t be enough! We need two fire engines to back pressure!"
As soon as Cao Yi finished speaking, Fang Huai immediately grabbed the two-way radio.
"Chief Cong! Position 1 needs two pumping vehicles to ensure a water supply for the high spray position!"
"There are no more vehicles! No more vehicles!"
"Then we only have two hours! Not three!"
"... Wait a minute! I’ll transfer the detachment’s ’Wild Bull’ to you! It’s the only one! Think of something! You have to hold your position! Hold it tight!"
As soon as Chief Cong finished speaking.
"Chief, Commander Fang! Position 4 needs to top up foam on the vehicle, we have no forklift! Can a forklift be arranged to come over?"
