Chapter 181 Man-made Natural Disasters(1/2)
In other words, what do they know?
Gu Ji narrowed his eyes imperceptibly. This idea had a bit of a "conspiracy theory" flavor, but it was not impossible, especially the second possibility.
You must know that the Special Border Force appears to be under the jurisdiction of the Indian Military District, but in fact it is more closely connected with the intelligence department. In addition to guarding the Indian border, its main tasks are also to carry out spy infiltration and harassment and sabotage operations when necessary. When it was first established, it was organized by the United States
The CIA and the Indian Intelligence Service are responsible for training matters, and the mode of operation has been kept secret so that the military staff is not even aware of its movements.
On this basis, Swaraj, Marlow and others will surely know a lot about the Himalayas.
Moreover, the floods in Assam are a bit suspicious compared to those in West Bengal. In the latter, heavy rainfall from tropical storms continued to press the dam body, causing the embankments to break and cause catastrophic floods. In the former, the outbreak time was when heavy rains came.
forward.
Although he once analyzed the cause of "glacier breakage" in front of Disaster Minister Anurag.
However, glacier melting generally occurs in the Indian summer. It is now mid- to late October, and the weather has already turned cold. Logically speaking, the probability of glacial rupture is very low.
The last thing that made him suspicious was the content of his original chat with Guwahati County Magistrate Kiran.
Gu Ji once asked Kieran about the specific details of his father's plane crash, but the latter said that after the Civil Aviation Administration of China completed the investigation, the final work would be handed over to the military.
Looking back now, the crash site seems to be 40 kilometers north of Dispur, near the southern foothills of the Himalayas. It is difficult not to associate the three.
Swaraj's eyelids twitched.
"The area near the glacier break has been blocked by the Mountain Division of the Fourth Army stationed at the border. It is said to involve military secrets, but the traces on the river bank can prove that the huge glacier collapsed, and after a free fall of about two thousand meters, it hit the ground.
, became pulverized, producing huge landslides and dust clouds. Glaciers and rocks slid down the valley and entered the Brahmaputra Valley, forming a fast-flowing debris flow. The huge debris flow impacted down the valley, causing the entire valley to collapse.
The whole city was shaken. Due to the sudden occurrence and extremely fast speed of the debris flow, it was impossible to predict and predict it. The debris flow directly destroyed the dam that was not repaired enough, causing collective flood discharge from the reservoir, causing a major flood."
Because it is close to the Himalayas and the terrain is high, it is the first place to escape the floods. Looking around, Gu Ji saw the long and long snow-capped mountains and ice peaks standing in the sky, like silver peaks under the aqua blue sky.
The giant, overlooking the village at the foot of the mountain, is majestic and spectacular.
Fatima was so surprised that she could hardly close her mouth.
Even Gu Ji did not expect that the truth of the matter was even more terrifying than a radioactive mine!
But soon, a report flashed in his mind.
A middle-aged official wearing a blue vest and white shirt took out a document. He was the person in charge of the post-flood investigation. "After many investigations, we finally believed that the glacier break was the cause of the flood.
The main reason, the real main reason, is corruption and mismanagement of the Brahmaputra River. In the past five years, millions of dollars that should have been used for flood control have been misappropriated by the Minister of Water Resources. Brahmaputra
The embankments along the river have been in disrepair for many years and flood control management is not in place."
Gu Ji looked around and took him to a remote location.
They never expected that they would become "big stars" in Assam. As soon as they got off the car, many government officials gathered around them. It seemed that they had already met the Prime Minister to deal with the floods in West Bengal.
It spread to the outside world.
Professor Nandeo's Adam's apple twitched twice and he turned his head to the side.
Although the cause of this incident was not found out in the end, the BBC has been reporting "fake news" for a long time.
Unfortunately, after he asked around a lot, the villagers said almost the same thing as the person in charge of the blue vest.
The village of Kokraja suffered from nuclear radiation!
As the Indian guy was talking, he suddenly felt a heat in his nasal cavity, and when he wiped it with his handkerchief, he actually started bleeding from his nose.
"I found them. They also admitted that there was insufficient budget or deduction from the upper management during the construction and repair. However, the whereabouts of the chief water conservancy engineer are currently unknown. Maybe this is God Shiva's punishment for them!"
What!?
As soon as Gu Ji came up, he went straight to the topic.
For Gu Ji, the investigation must be done quickly, otherwise it would be much more difficult to find out the truth of the disaster once the military seals up all the evidence.
Based on the past disaster relief experience of various countries, the United Nations has shown that many government departments often only focus on building disaster shelter tents and neglect to provide water and sanitation facilities. In particular, India's sanitation conditions are inherently poor, and many people in Assam lack the basics.
hygiene knowledge.
Gu Ji and Fatima divided their troops into two groups.
The story of Nan De'ao is similar to this version, except that it changed from spy monitoring to laboratory research. It seems that the two countries' militaries were secretly manufacturing something, but due to an avalanche accident eight years ago, the laboratory was destroyed.
Many devices and equipment are missing and stuck in the glacier. No one knows the location of those nuclear devices, and no one knows what will happen.
Many patients nodded.
The southern foothills of the Himalayas in Assam have always been controlled by the Indian Army's Mountain Division.
The so-called radioactive minerals are mineral resources formed by the local accumulation of natural radioactive elements such as uranium and thorium. They are national strategic resources. Their development and production involve the country's nuclear policy, nuclear capabilities and nuclear reserves, and have strong confidentiality.
They are generally protected and controlled by military chemical defense forces.
This means that the truth is not the case, or that he still lacks certain necessary conditions.
Gu Gu had already guessed that this day would come.
It’s the military again…
Gu Ji took the medical equipment, randomly selected the blood of four patients, and took away a bottle of water for daily drinking in the village.
At this time, Fatima also figured out the current basic situation in Assam.
Based on the current clues, Gu Ji believes that it was probably the military's digging of radioactive mines that caused the glacier to break.
"Bleeding diarrhea? Take me to see you."
"Cough cough cough..."
This further confirmed Gu Ji's guess.
"It's just that they are all missing. Maybe they moved away after the incident, or maybe they were silenced by the military. The only clue left now is the Geological Monitoring Bureau!"
Combined with the clinical symptoms, Gu Ji can conclude:
Because Anurag mentioned to him at that time that the Ministry of Agriculture and Disaster Management had conducted a preliminary investigation. According to local villagers, they all heard a loud noise before the flood broke out.
"Before and after the flood, corruption was as rampant as ever. The water conservancy department even expected the flood to break out because they could make a fortune from repairing the dams and distributing relief materials. An official from the finance and taxation department mentioned that the chief minister had discovered that there were errors in the accounts of the state disaster relief fund.
, and have called the Minister of Water Resources many times, but unfortunately his whereabouts are still unknown."
Four or five days have passed, and the water accumulation in Assam has dropped a lot. Grassland can be seen in many high-lying areas, and most of the houses are exposed to the water. At the airport, the state fire brigade and construction engineering teams are seizing the time to make repairs.
Infrastructure and post-disaster reconstruction work.
Gu Ji thought about these symptoms in his mind, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he hurriedly asked: "Did you feel weak or lose appetite at the beginning?"
Marlow looked at the two men, nodded, and agreed to land in the capital of Assam.
But the Brahmaputra River is closely related to the construction of water conservancy dams, so the Minister of Water Resources and the Chief Engineer should also be involved. Only with the help of the military, a Minister of Water Resources in his fifties can quietly solve it at the same time.
The chief minister and the accompanying secretary.
Fatima almost screamed in surprise.
The person who answered him was an Indian scholar with silver hair and a white coat. It was Professor Nandeo who had told Gu Ji that the Minister of Water Resources and the Chief Minister had a quarrel in the conference room.
"Okay, I'll get ready right away!"
But the villagers at the foothills of the Himalayas still believe this secret.
"Nuclear radiation? How can there be nuclear radiation in such a good thing?"
"Fatima, how are you doing there?"
The two of them came to the temporary medical point as they talked.
After the helicopter took off, Gu Ji also saw the entire city of Kolkata from the air. The entire city was like a sunken super-giant cruise ship. All parts of the hull were buried in the water, and only the upper decks were still suffering.
With the support, Matan Park turned even darker, without a trace of green in sight, which was enough to show how many people who were fleeing gathered there.
"What disease?"
However, Gu Ji noticed that the skin on the old man's neck and cheeks was somewhat red, but there was no fever on his head. This was not consistent with the symptoms of an intestinal infection, but more like a skin ulcer.
He also disappeared. What a coincidence?
Gu Ji frowned slightly and asked.
Sure enough, the red blood cell count decreased, the hemoglobin concentration decreased, the white blood cell count decreased, and the platelet count decreased. The four randomly sampled patients, without exception, all had this result.
"I……"
The official in blue vest shook his head and sighed.
Since Gu Ji had been deep in thought and Marlow and others were in a hurry to return to the base, as soon as the helicopter landed, the two sides left in a hurry, so that Fatima did not have time to retain these soldiers for a meal.
It turned out that after she reported Gu Ji's matter to Anurag, the minister was afraid that it would be difficult for him to investigate alone, so he asked Fatima to come over to help. As for the task of reporting back to the prime minister, it was left to the minister and the director. After all,
No one doesn't like to take credit.
"Yes, Professor, please tell us everything you know!"
Ignoring those who wanted to get too close, Gu Ji went straight to the investigation team officials from the Department of Agriculture and the Ministry of Disaster Management, and asked the people who were responsible for the field inspection of the villages in the southern foothills of the Himalayas.
Good guy, I really got him right.
The two borrowed a car and rushed to the disaster relief center.
Nausea and vomiting, facial redness, oral, nasal and intestinal bleeding...
Compared to towns such as Dispur and Guwahati, which were flooded, villages at the southern foot of the mountains suffered from mudslides.
Since nothing happens in the game.
Fatima thought he had thought of some solution. After all, on the train, she saw with her own eyes Gu Ji helping the injured to stop bleeding and treat their wounds, so he must know medicine. "Vidi, do you have any treatment method?"
Fatima also wants to find out what secrets are hidden in this, which is worthy of causing more than 30 million people in Assam to be hit by floods and nearly a million refugees to be displaced.
When Gu Ji found Fatima, she was obviously a little depressed.
The officials in blue vests shrugged their shoulders, seeming to think that they had all died in the floods. After all, hundreds, if not thousands, of people go missing due to floods in India every year.
As the saying goes: "After a major disaster, there will be a major epidemic." Especially for highly polluting disasters such as floods, due to the fluidity of water, a large amount of pollutants will be dispersed to various places along with the water flow. At this time, a large amount of
To be continued...
