Simulation Game: Crisis Management-Chapter 337 - 166: Military Operation

New Delhi is located in the northwest of India and is not affected by the weather from the east Bengal Bay.

But at this moment, it looked as if it was echoing the impending terror faced by West Bengal.

Meanwhile, Fatima typed the last line of text, raised her arms, and stretched long and lazily.

"Finally done!"

"Great! Thank you, everyone, I will contact the Director immediately!"

Anurag excitedly took the computer, confirmed there were no mistakes in the plan, copied it onto a USB drive, and left in a hurry.

Gu Ji, on the other hand, opened the weather application on his phone to observe the weather information of West Bengal.

Sure enough.

The atmospheric pressure in the southern part of West Bengal had already dropped to 991 hPa. According to the monitoring by the state meteorological department, as shown on the software, at 17:00 on the 16th, the tropical storm was landing in the Ganges Delta in eastern India, with its center at 23°48’N and 88°56’E, approximately 70 kilometers southeast of Calcutta, with a maximum wind force of Level 9 (23 m/s) near the center.

The meteorological department issued a tropical storm emergency alert at 17:00 on the 16th, expecting the fifth tropical storm of the year to bring heavy storm and rain to West Bengal today. After entering the southern Gulf waters, its intensity might increase again, reminding all state people and relevant departments to take precautions against the storm.

Fortunately, the tropical storm took time to travel from Bengal Bay to the north, giving them a buffer preparation period for their emergency work.

About 20 minutes later, Gu Ji’s phone suddenly rang, "It’s Mr. Anurag, the Prime Minister urgently summoned you."

After he hung up the phone, Fatima immediately got up and picked up the materials on the table.

The third floor on the west side of the Presidential Palace is where the Prime Minister’s daily office is located. Compared to the advisors’ office, this room is smaller and more simply decorated, with a mahogany desk piled high with stacks of documents, resembling a high school student’s study desk deep in preparation.

However, the room was quite crowded with people.

In addition to the people from the disaster management bureau, the group of experts in taxation, water conservancy, infrastructure, and explosive engineering from earlier in the day were also present.

Seeing the two being led in by the secretary, everyone’s eyes focused on them, especially on Gu Ji, whose eyes were filled with a complex expression, including jealousy, surprise, and envy.

Mr. Dieter, the Prime Minister’s face, was like a cloudy sky, gray and somber until he looked up and saw him, then he immediately became amiable.

"Vidi, Fatima, your leaders have been praising you in front of me, especially you, Vidi, your performance is excellent and can be regarded as an exemplary government official. I have already had the Finance Minister review the plan, confirmed there are no problems, only a few details that need modification."

"I have coordinated with the 57th Mountain Division, since Anurag mentioned you are very good at explosive work and set the main framework of the plan, you will handle all contacts with the Special Border Forces of the Mountain Division. Here is a list, if you encounter any problems on site, you can directly contact them!"

After finishing, the Prime Minister’s secretary handed over a piece of paper, which clearly listed the names and phone numbers of the commanders from the Mountain Division, the Chief Minister of the West Bengal government, and district commissioners from each region.

"Time is of the essence, you must go to the New Delhi Air Force Base immediately, take a military transport plane to Bagdogra Airport; the Mountain Division forces will also be arriving around this time. Vidi, the safety of the entire one-hundred-million population of West Bengal is in your hands!"

"Prime Minister, I will definitely complete the task, but..."

Gu Ji’s hesitation caused a moment of tension in the disaster management department’s Director, Anurag, and others, fearing he’d say something unexpected.

"What’s your question?"

"Now that the tropical storm has landed, I think we should prioritize blowing up the southern dam, but Bagdogra Airport is located in the northwest of West Bengal, which..."

"In the plan, the issue of the third dam in the Midnapore Special Zone in the south is still under discussion for disposal, and temporarily, we will start with the first two dams."

The Prime Minister knew what Gu Ji wanted to ask.

Seeing his firm tone, Gu Ji did not insist further, instead, he clasped his hands together as a gesture and left the Prime Minister’s office.

Fatima followed alongside him as they left together.

"Vidi, I’ll go with you, although I don’t know much about explosive work, I can at least help you with handling the citizen relocation problems."

"Of course, you can."

Gu Ji was troubled by the lack of assistance.

The two didn’t even return to their hotel, as they had brought little when they hurried from New Delhi, and thus took the official car from the Presidential Palace to the Air Force Base.

What awaited them was a small gray-green plane: the An-32 light transport aircraft!

It is a development model of the An-26, specially used for high temperature and plateau airports, capable of taking off from airports 4,000 to 5,000 meters above sea level, 25℃ above standard atmospheric temperature, making it very suitable for this flight mission.

After entering the plane, Gu Ji, to maintain his energy, leaned directly on a folding chair and rested with closed eyes.

The distance from New Delhi to the northern part of West Bengal is about 1,100 kilometers, and it takes about two and a half hours to fly.

The geographical location of West Bengal is of significant importance to India, so military airports are scattered throughout the state.

Bagdogra Airport is also a dual-use military-civilian airport, and when the transport plane was preparing to land, it was already past 8 PM.

Gu Ji had just walked off the plane with Fatima, and the northern part of West Bengal had yet to be hit by the tropical storm. The weather, while slightly chilly, had no rainfall.
