Chapter 121 is not that simple!!
How's it going in the suburbs?
Zhang Er hurriedly picked up the phone, intending to inquire about the fire situation in the suburbs.
"Captain, Battalion Commander, something terrible has happened!!"
Just then, a team member ran over in a panic.
He took the phone and handed it over.
"It's a call from above, they want you to answer it!!"
"The fire is spreading rapidly and is extremely fierce in the mountainous area of the eastern suburbs."
"We're ordered to get there and put out the fire within ten minutes!"
After saying that, the team member handed the phone to Zhang Er.
Zhang Er picked up his phone and heard a reprimand coming from inside.
After hanging up the phone, he was completely distraught.
They fell into a daze.
Ten minutes... how am I supposed to get there in time?!
It takes more than 20 minutes just to get out of the city, and at least 40 minutes to get to the scene!
"How badly is the fire going? Have the other firefighters gotten there yet?!"
Zhang Er hurriedly asked.
"I've already contacted them, and the firefighters in the surrounding area have already rushed over, but the fire is too big to be controlled!"
"Unless we go to provide assistance, there is still a glimmer of hope!"
"Otherwise, the fire will continue to spread and may even reach the economic development zone."
When the team members mentioned this.
Zhang Er's heart skipped a beat.
It was already half-cold.
If the fire were to spread to the economic development zone...
Then his crime would be very serious.
After all, the problem arose because of his command.
At that moment, he suddenly remembered Chen Le's reminder to him in the Chu family.
You were absolutely right!
We must never sit still and wait for death!
We must arrive at the scene as quickly as possible to provide assistance.
Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Quickly, contact our other teams and speed up the rescue. As long as they can delay the rescue, we can wait for our support!"
"Furthermore, we must immediately contact law enforcement to request a helicopter. We need to get there quickly and assess the fire situation!"
"It would be best to send some of our brothers over first!"
Zhang Er quickly issued the order!
However, the subordinate stood still and didn't move an inch!
"What are you standing there for? This is an emergency, a matter of life and death!"
Zhang Er angrily rebuked.
Suddenly!
The subordinate started to cry.
"Captain, we've lost contact with the brother unit!"
"The last message we received was a request for backup from Captain Lin, and then we lost contact with him!!"
"With our current communication equipment, even in mountainous areas, it's impossible to lose signal; only..."
The team member's voice choked up as he spoke.
Zhang Er's heart skipped a beat, and everything went black before his eyes.
He was swaying precariously, and if someone hadn't helped him up, he would have already fallen to the ground.
"how could this be!"
"Even if we can't get in touch, we have to get there as soon as possible."
"quick……"
But at this moment!
Zhang Er's phone rang.
He looked at it and was surprised to see that it was a call from the fire department headquarters!
He answered the phone quickly.
"Zhang Er, return to the headquarters immediately and convene an emergency meeting!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Er hurriedly said, "Minister Sun, I can't go back yet; the mission isn't finished!"
Why hold a meeting at this critical juncture?!
He was extremely anxious.
I can't concentrate on the meeting!
"This is a military order. Get back here immediately!"
A stern voice came through the phone again.
Zhang Er gritted his teeth, feeling both angry and disappointed, but could only nod.
"Go and provide support immediately. Get to the scene as quickly as possible and stabilize the fire."
"I'll head over there as soon as I finish this meeting."
After saying that, Zhang Er got into the car and sped away!
About half an hour later...
Zhang Er arrived at headquarters.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, a middle-aged man walked towards me.
Sun Yuan, the head of the fire department headquarters!
"Zhang Er, what have you done!"
"Two fires broke out, but you only cared about the shopping mall and ignored the mountainous area."
"We can't contact any of the three detachments we sent out. What are you doing?!"
Sun Yuan shouted angrily.
"Minister Sun, putting out the fire is the priority. I request permission to go to the mountains immediately. Once I return, you can do whatever you want with me!"
"I don't have time, I have to get there. Please, can I miss this meeting just this once?"
Zhang Er sighed and said.
"Hehe, by the time you get there, it'll be too late."
“Sun Wei has already rushed over to put out the fire. The higher-ups are taking this series of fires very seriously. Originally, the position of the chief of your brigade was still vacant. At this critical juncture, you are causing no peace of mind at all.”
Sun Yuan sighed.
Although harsh, it was also full of regrets.
Zhang Er was a talent he valued highly.
Down-to-earth, capable, courageous and resourceful.
Originally, their performance and reputation over the years could have easily surpassed that of Captain **.
However, due to the losses caused by the recent series of arson attacks and mismanagement, he may be disqualified.
On the contrary, his competitor Sun Wei always manages to seize the credit at crucial moments, which greatly pleases the higher-ups!
Hearing this, Zhang Er looked dejected, but gritted his teeth and said nothing.
……
Three hours later, the phone rang.
Sun Yuan patted Zhang Er on the shoulder and comforted him, "The wildfire is out."
"Keep up the good work and try to achieve good results before you retire."
At this point, Sun Yuan sighed, "The organization held a meeting and decided to commend Sun Wei. You should go and see him, and study hard."
"Yes."
Zhang Er lowered his head, but breathed a sigh of relief.
In any case, the wildfire was finally extinguished and did not pose a threat to people's safety.
Although it wasn't his achievement.
But he was relieved that Sun Wei was able to act in time and avert the crisis.
Zhang Er remained silent as he followed Sun Yuan to the conference hall.
Sun Wei stood on the stage with an arrogant expression, and couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhang Er.
Many leaders, along with their families, presented banners and medals.
Sun Wei was beaming with joy, and standing next to him was a food delivery guy.
It was none other than the one who appeared at the scene to save people.
Sun Wei and the delivery guy started taking photos together, and his smile couldn't be brighter.
Zhang Er frowned, feeling that something was amiss.
But he didn't say anything.
After the commendation ceremony ended, Sun Wei walked straight over to Zhang Er and said with a smile, "Old Zhang!"
"I never imagined you could be so incompetent at something as simple as putting out a fire."
"Even if the last shopping mall incident had a great impact on you and left you with a shadow, you can't ignore wildfires."
"How can you favor one side?!"
"You mobilize troops as soon as the shopping mall catches fire, but what about the mountains? If they catch fire, the consequences will be far more severe!!"
"If something goes wrong, can you take responsibility?!"
Sun Wei gave Zhang Er a forced smile and reprimanded him in an lecturing tone.
"You're right. It was my poor command that almost led to a major disaster."
"You helped me a lot this time, solving my problem across districts. I should thank you. I am expressing my gratitude on behalf of all the people!"
Zhang Er bowed to Sun Wei very seriously.
"No need for thanks. Fighting fires is our duty, it's about serving the people."
"To avoid a major incident that you are not capable of handling."
Sun Wei let out a cold laugh when he said this.
So hypocritical.
Even though Zhang Er could tell that the other party was mocking him.
Zhang Er shook his head and walked towards the door.
But when he turned around, he was stunned.
His brothers had all rushed over from outside.
They were removing their equipment and clothes in the hall, their faces covered in soot, some with burns being bandaged.
Some grimaced, tears streaming down their faces from the pain.
But looking at Sun Wei's side, all the team members were dressed neatly and chatting and laughing.
In contrast, his brothers, who fought so hard, seemed to have come from hell.
For a fleeting moment, Zhang Er suddenly felt like a failure.
The team made a mess of itself.
The threat posed by the fire meant that losses could not be mitigated immediately.
Then look at Sun Wei.
It seems that the wildfire can be extinguished without firing a single shot.
This only proves that others are more capable of being the head of the team than I am.
Perhaps I'm really not suited for this position.
Zhang Er gave a wry smile, went into the courtyard, and comforted his wounded brothers, bandaging their wounds.
at this time.
Chen Le and Chu Tianhe walked in.
When they saw the yard full of wounded soldiers, Chen Le and Chu Tianhe also ran over to help.
"Old Master Chu... Ah Le, what brings you here?"
Zhang Er was quite surprised to see Chen Le and Chu Tianhe.
"If we hadn't come, wouldn't you have been unjustly accused and died?!"
After Chu Tianhe finished bandaging a soldier's wound, he stood up and spoke in a reprimanding tone.
"Brother Zhang, we're here to catch the murderer!!"
"These series of arson attacks were actually committed by one person!"
Chen Le said with a smile.
