The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 984 Responsibility
Liu Tao knew that this was not the end.

On the contrary, this is just the beginning.

China will face waves of severe tests.

This severe flood is one of the most severe floods in the entire basin that occurred in the 1931th century, following the two floods in 1954 and 20.

The floods in the Nenjiang and Songhua rivers were also the most serious basin-wide floods in the past 150 years.

On June 6, reservoirs across the country completed the task of freeing up storage capacity under the guidance of local water conservancy bureaus and flood control headquarters.

The amount of power lost here is extremely shocking.

But important decisions were still made.

During the meeting, the leader made an important instruction: "As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood! As long as the people are there, the hardworking and brave Chinese people will soon be able to rebuild their beautiful homeland with their own hands."

While inspecting important sections of the Yangtze River, he delivered an important speech, summarizing the great flood-fighting spirit of "unity of one heart and one mind, fearlessness of difficulties, hard work, perseverance and courage to win."

Liu Tao sighed softly.

Ruthless water and fire!

In the face of such natural disasters, human beings appear vulnerable.

A total of 30 provinces in the country suffered flood disasters to varying degrees, with 3.18 million mu of land affected, 1.96 million mu of land severely affected, and 2.23 million people affected.

The country has mobilized all its forces to fight floods and disaster relief and protect people's lives and property.

The estimated losses this time will exceed 1500 billion yuan, and may even reach 2000 billion yuan.

And this is only in the past twenty years, when a large number of water conservancy and hydropower projects were built, which played a great role in flood prevention. Otherwise, the losses would have been even greater.

In Anhui Province, which is a flood retention area of ​​the Yangtze River, tens of millions of people were evacuated.

In Jiangxi Province, tens of millions of people were also evacuated.

Many houses collapsed.

However, the flood season has not yet passed, and it is estimated that the entire flood disaster will not be over until September.

During the entire flood control and disaster relief work, countless heroic deeds emerged. The people's soldiers did not drive tanks and armored vehicles with guns, but drove transport vehicles, helicopters, and military transport planes. They held shovels and sandbags in their hands and carried sandbags to reinforce river embankments and reservoirs. More than 200 million active soldiers and 60 armed police forces were involved in flood control and disaster relief work. Millions of railway construction workers maintained railway transportation safety, repaired railways in a timely manner, and ensured that railways could transport supplies in time.

Navy warships sailed into the Yangtze River, Yellow River, Pearl River and Songhua River to participate in flood control and disaster relief.

And they will continue to fight, and they use their actions to interpret what it means - fighting against the sky, the fun is endless; fighting against the earth, the fun is endless!

Liu Tao looked at the news from Southeast Asia again. Due to the heavy rainfall during the flood season, the intensity of fighting in these areas dropped sharply, but the casualties did not decrease. A large number of people died in floods and entire villages were submerged. There was no one to carry out flood control and disaster relief.

The power of natural disasters was vividly demonstrated.

As September approaches, the flood season gradually comes to an end and the water levels of rivers drop.

According to preliminary statistics, the death toll was over 685, 1666 million houses collapsed, and the direct economic losses amounted to billion yuan.

The Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River, the four major hydropower stations on the Jinsha River, and a number of large reservoir hydropower stations have all withstood the test of floods.

Liu Tao took a special plane to inspect the reservoirs and hydropower stations one by one, quietly repairing some defects. On September 9, he returned to Beijing.

This time he returned to Beijing to participate in the enlarged meeting.

There is only one theme for this expanded meeting - post-disaster reconstruction!
Previously, the country urgently approved 100 billion yuan in special funds for flood control and disaster relief, but it was not enough at all!

Hundreds of millions of people eat, drink, defecate and urinate. Even if the daily cost is 30 yuan, it will be 3 to 100 billion yuan a day. In more than months ( days), it will cost to billion yuan.

And helping the disaster victims rebuild their homes also requires a lot of money!

Purchasing large amounts of food from overseas to ensure people’s food security also requires money.

"Comrade Liu Tao, how much funds can your Panshan Group withdraw?" the leader asked Liu Tao with difficulty.

Panshan Group has been fighting against international hot money since last year. Last year, it paid 4200 billion yuan in taxes and 1690 billion yuan in profits. So far this year, it has paid 3000 billion yuan in taxes. Before that, Panshan Group mobilized a large amount of materials for flood relief. In addition, it has suffered a lot of losses in fighting against international hot money. A lot of funds in Hong Kong cannot be withdrawn. Once withdrawn, it will have a great impact on Hong Kong.

Not to mention that Panshan Group is under tremendous pressure in Africa and Southeast Asia. The food, drink, defecation, and weapons and ammunition required of millions of people are astronomical figures every day.

During this flood, Panshan Group also has to invest a lot of money in repairing highways, railways, electric towers, power lines, etc.

The leaders know that Panshan Group is in a difficult situation, but now Panshan Group is needed to make an effort and serve as a role model.

中央预计灾后重建工作要投入总额达到5万亿人民币，中央专项资金占60%便是要3万亿人民币，地方财政资金占40%也就是要2万亿人民币！
Liu Tao looked at the leaders' eyes and said, "The military will delay withholding taxes this year, and will resume withholding taxes next year and the year after. We will hand over 2500 billion RMB in profits in advance!"

"We at Panshan Group will once again call on everyone to donate to the disaster area." Liu Tao was under great pressure. "In addition, I suggest that the country issue special government bonds, and Hong Kong Bank, Standard Chartered Bank and others subscribe to 3500 billion yuan of special government bonds!"

This is the solution to the 6000 billion yuan funding, accounting for 20% of the central government’s special funds!

There will definitely be no profit of 2500 billion yuan this year because Panshan Group has also been greatly affected.

This requires taking out the secret treasury.

Upon hearing this, the leaders couldn't help but show relief, but at the same time they were quite shocked, shocked by the wealth of Panshan Group.

"Good! Good! Good!" the leader said happily: "On behalf of the Party and the country, thank you for taking on this responsibility! You have lived up to the expectations of the people and the country!"

Liu Tao's eyes showed a firm look: "Leader, for those who dare to build shoddy projects, this is a crime against the people, we must get to the bottom of it! We should take this opportunity to kill this evil trend!"

During this short period of three months, countless heroic deeds emerged, but a number of shoddy projects also occurred, resulting in serious losses.

Many people expressed their deep agreement. Some of the things that happened this time were really unbearable for them.

In their view, they should kill a group of people carefully in order to scare others and warn everyone.

Some people are really black-hearted and dare to make money that will destroy their own descendants.

It is possible in other countries, but not in China. It goes against China's universal values!

Those who dare to break the law should pay the price. Only in this way will there not be so many people taking risks in the future.

The leader couldn't help but slam the table and said murderously: "It's time to settle the accounts. These bastards want to die, so let them do it!"
