rebirth of change

Facing the inquiry from his superior, Director Tang hurriedly reported the current situation.

Director Tang called the head of the delegation just now, but the secretary answered the call, saying that the head of the delegation was meeting with some IOC committee members and it was inconvenient to answer the phone.

The head of the delegation is the director of the State Sports General Administration. His main purpose of leading the team to participate in the Olympic Games is not to organize and manage the delegation team. His more important work is to communicate with sports officials from various countries and members of the International Olympic Committee. Get in touch and seek wider support for our Olympic bid.And beside him, there are still some people who are carefully observing and studying the local experience in hosting the Olympic Games.

When he learned of the congestion and blockage at Kingsford Smith International Airport, Chen Kangjie was the first thing the team leader thought of.

He knew that Chen Kangjie and the others were returning to China at this time, and he also learned from the Australian side that those people gathered at the airport to see him off because of Chen Kangjie.So he immediately called to inquire about the situation.

Chen Kangjie is not compared to ordinary athletes. Not only is he popular all over the world, but also the top management in China pays close attention to him.If something unexpected happened to him in Sydney, it would be difficult for him, the head of the delegation, to explain it to him.No matter which background he releases, it is difficult for him to bear the pressure.

"Is the safety there guaranteed?" After listening to Director Tang's brief report, the team leader asked with concern.

"It's okay for now, mainly because the outside world didn't find Xiao Chen in this car, but it's best to find a way to get out of here quickly, otherwise, it will take a long time, and I will be very worried."

"Old Tang, you have to stay safe. The key is to ensure Chen Kangjie's safety. I will immediately contact the city of Sydney and the embassy to ask them to send someone to you to provide protection." After the group leader finished speaking Just hung up the phone.

"Xiao Chen, you don't have to worry. The head of the delegation just said that he will immediately contact the Australian side and the embassy to send someone to protect you."

"I know, I'm not worried, but it seems difficult to go back on time today." Chen Kangjie opened the curtains a small gap, looking out at the pedestrians who hurried past the vehicle and said.

"That's good, that's good. This is also a lesson for us. When we hold the Olympics, this situation must be included in the response plan." Director Tang is worthy of being a senior sports official. The level he thought of It's just different.

"I'm afraid there won't be similar things happening at our Capital International Airport by then. It will be very difficult to find a second athlete with such a huge influence in the world." Niu Qihua said with some pride.

As time passed, the traffic to the airport showed no signs of improving, and the crowds congested at the airport were not dispersed because of the increased police presence.

"Mr. Mayor, it can't be done. We have dispatched 3000 security personnel to the airport, but there is still no sign of relief at the scene. Instead, the flow of people is getting bigger and bigger. The two roads leading to the airport have been seriously blocked." City Hall, the assistant pushed open the door of the office and reported to Mayor Francis who was sitting behind the desk and picked up the phone and was about to make a call.

"Why is the flow of people still increasing sharply?"

"Because the subway is still in normal operation, hundreds of people are being transported to the airport through the subway every minute. In order not to cause extreme congestion in the subway and avoid stampede accidents, the airport can only guide those passengers to the airport terminal In the officialdom ahead. If we want to control the number of people now, we have to cut off the transportation line of the subway." The assistant said.

"Cutting off the subway line is not an easy decision. If some passengers go to the airport to take a plane and we cut off their only way, who will compensate for the corresponding losses? It will bring us There is a lot of international pressure coming." Mayor Francis said with a headache.

The assistant thought for a while, and then said: "There is a way, we can move the terminal of the subway leading to the airport forward by one station."

"Move one station forward?"

"Yes, we can set up a relief point for the first person. Passengers with air tickets can go to the airport, and those without air tickets can only get off here and return. This will basically cut off the flow of people to the airport and reduce the number of people there. pressure." The assistant seemed to have considered it carefully, and the method he said was more feasible.

"Well, that's a good idea. You should go to Deputy Mayor Roger and ask him to contact the subway company, and at the same time, mobilize personnel to set up a relief point. No matter what, you must persuade those who join in the fun to rebel." Mayor Francis is also very excited. Those who are decisive, just think a little and make a decision.

"Mr. Mayor, this method can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. If you want to cure the root cause, you still have to send Long away quickly. If he leaves, those people will not leave the airport easily." The assistant added without leaving immediately.

"Where is Long now?" Mayor Francis asked.

Before the assistant could answer, Deputy Mayor Roger pushed the door open and came in: "Mayor, Long and the others are now stuck in a bus 400 meters away from the Cooks River Bridge, and all traffic around that place has been interrupted."

"He must be picked up quickly, otherwise it will take a long time, and every minute of delay will increase his danger. If something happens to him on the way back to China, I am worried that there will be large-scale riots in our city .” Francis now also knows the impact and “destructive power” brought by Chen Kangjie.

"But the traffic there has been interrupted. If you send a small group of people, it will be difficult to make an effect. If you send too many people, it will be difficult to reach it in a short time." Roger said.

"Then what should we do? Are we just waiting?" Francis put down the phone in his hand and said.

"Mr. Mayor, I think we can contact the military to send a military helicopter to pick him up." The assistant interjected.

"Where the cars are parked, the helicopter can't land at all." Deputy Mayor Roger said.

"Helicopters cannot be landed on the road, but there is a golf course nearby, and they can land in the course. As long as they climb over the guardrail and enter the course, there will be no problem." The assistant obviously has a better understanding of the situation below, and quickly said .

"This method is good. I will call the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense. You will immediately deal with the matter of moving the subway station forward. The head of the Chinese delegation and the ambassador have already called me to put pressure on me. You should act quickly." Mayor Francis picked up the phone again as he spoke.

Just when Chen Kangjie and the group in the car felt more and more disappointed and anxious, Chen Kangjie's own cell phone rang.

Chen Kangjie saw that the call was from home.People at home have seen the crowding at Kingsford Smith International Airport through the news.They were worried about Chen Kangjie's safety, so they called to inquire.

In order to appease them, Chen Kangjie could only say that everything was fine, and that he was under the protection of security at this time, it was just because there were too many people at the airport that he couldn't get in.

Hearing Chen Kangjie say that everything is fine, the family feels at ease.

There are already a lot of reporters who came to cover the Olympics, and those who thought that the Olympics was over would have no valuable news to cover.Such a thing popped up all of a sudden, of course they should pay attention to it.Many reporters started live broadcasting directly at the airport, and even the reporters sent by CCTV sent relevant reports back to China as soon as possible.That's why Chen Kangjie's family knew about it right away.

After finally calming down the family, I hung up the phone, and the phone rang again immediately.

What Chen Kangjie saw was an unfamiliar phone number from Australia. He thought it was a call from the person in charge of the company in Australia, but after he answered it, he realized that the call was from Lawrence.

"Mr. Prime Minister, hello, when you call me at this time, you don't think I'm bored, so you can chat with me?"

"Long, I don't have anything on my mind to chat with you right now. You've messed up the entire airport. The Sydney Police Department and the city government are in a mess."

"It's not my fault. If you want to blame, I can only blame you for your lack of handling ability. I am blocked on the road now, but I am a real victim. It stands to reason that I should ask you for compensation." Because of the relationship with Lawrence It was an old friend, and Chen Kangjie's conversation with him seemed much more casual.There is no such restraint in facing the head of a government at all.

However, Director Tang, who was sitting at the side, heard the translation and learned that it was the Prime Minister of Australia who called Chen Kangjie. While expressing his admiration and attention to Chen Kangjie, he also raised his heart, for fear that Chen Kangjie might say something wrong. , leading to diplomatic troubles.

"I'm dealing with state affairs in the capital. When I learned that you were trapped, I called right away. So, we won't pay you a dime for the compensation you mentioned, ha ha." Hearing from his tone, Chen Kangjie didn't say anything. Being angry, Lawrence felt relieved, and joked with Chen Kangjie.

"Then you all have to quickly find a way to get us out. It's very boring to sit in this car on such a hot day." Chen Kangjie said.

"That's why I called. Don't worry, I've already called the Special Warfare Command. They will send a military plane to pick you up right away."

"A military plane? But there's no way to land a plane here." Chen Kangjie seemed puzzled.

He thought of using a helicopter for transportation at the beginning, but he thought that there was no way to land a helicopter here, so he didn't make this suggestion to Thomas, and waited for the Australian side to find a way to ease it.

"Just on your right, there is a kogarah golf course. After a while, the military will park in the golf course. You just need to climb over the fence next to the road."

"Then why didn't you say it earlier? If we said it earlier, we wouldn't have to hold back here for so long." Chen Kangjie was a little speechless that the other party had only thought of such a way at this time.
