Chapter 678
After the "Wangpu Village Incident Report" was sent to the Senate, it caused a wave of inquiries to the People's Committee of Civil Affairs in the Senate.When Liu Muzhou was questioned in the Senate, his face turned red and white, and he was almost speechless.

He tried his best to keep calm and was answering Shan Liang's question:

"According to the report, one of the key factors in the complete annihilation of the task force was the failure to call the police in time. If the warning was given in time, it should be able to save them, shouldn't it?"

"Yes, theoretically... yes."

Shan Liang said: "According to the map, Wangpu Village is only a dozen miles away from Danzhou City. So it must be the case in reality. That is to say, if the work team can be equipped with suitable communication equipment, they can call the police in time. "

"correct."

"Then why not deserve them?"

"Our radio equipment belongs to the first-level control materials, and there is no condition for small-scale dispatched teams to allocate them." Liu Muzhou said, "However, we have allocated a considerable amount to the Danzhou task force itself." He said and reported the distribution The model and number of radios and walkie-talkies given to the Danzhou task force.

"Do you think it's enough?"

"If this equipment is to be supplied to more than a dozen work teams at the same time, it is not enough to have camps scattered all over the place."

"...So, you clearly know that the communication equipment allocated to the Danzhou task force is insufficient, so let the Danzhou task force set off?"

Liu Muzhou protested: "I object to your suggestive question! How much equipment can be used is not unilaterally determined by the People's Committee of Civil Affairs!"

"Okay. I take this question back." Shan Liang said, "So, is it possible for your department to adopt some alternative means? For example, to ask for primitive but reliable means such as rockets and carrier pigeons?"

"These are all related to local factors and technical conditions. For example, to use homing pigeons, you need to build a pigeonhole in the local area. Train the pigeons' sense of homing" to Danzhou, otherwise it is useless to give pigeons to the working team-the pigeons will only go to Lingao Fly. Training pigeons to adapt to a new home is not a one-day thing. Nick can attest to that.”

……

Liu Muzhou managed to get away from the fierce fire at the hearing, and he secretly scolded Liu Yixiao for messing things up and bringing himself in.

"It's good for you kid to hide in Danzhou, let me give you a thunderbolt." He cursed secretly.

At this time Merlin proposed to speak.

"Allowed to speak!"

Merlin walked to the speaking table:

"Gentlemen! This incident in Zhaopu Village may seem accidental, but in fact it can be said to be inevitable. This is a profound lesson..."

"Please get to the point as soon as possible!" the vest who presided over the long meeting and became sleepy said impatiently.

"I think first of all, it was the carelessness of the leadership of the Danzhou task force that caused this vicious incident. During the period between the capture of the county and the dispatch of the task force, they did not have a detailed understanding of the various situations in the county, nor did they A local intelligence network was established in a timely manner. If you know the scope of activities, the number of people and the combat capabilities of the bandits in advance, you can configure the task force in a targeted manner, and at least the thirty or so people will have enough vigilance and handling The flexibility of the crisis. The equipment can also be prepared for a rainy day.

"Secondly, the communication equipment is not complete. The working team did not consider the provision of some simple emergency communication methods without sufficient radio equipment. They actually sent messages by manpower. This is a huge mistake! It is simply impossible Tolerance—the number of our work teams is not large now, even if the radio communication equipment brought from this time and space cannot be distributed to them, some low-tech means such as carrier pigeons, smoke tubes, and signal flares should be equipped with some conditions , it stands to reason that we should go directly to the ore transceiver - when discussing radio equipment last time, some people always said 'this is not good, that is not good', I said that it is best to use it first! We will slowly develop and replace it later... ..."

"Please don't digress when speaking."

"So on the surface, it seems that the total destruction of the task force was caused by the cunning and cruelty of the bandits, but in fact it was our own fault. Even if a few leaders should bear the primary responsibility, they should make a deep self-criticism! Corresponding punishments will be decided by the Senate to serve as an example to others! Another point: In a sense, the complete annihilation of this small team is not a bad thing, it is a loss we must bear in the process of conquering the world. It is very worthwhile to expose the shortcomings of our command at the cost of more than 30 people and clear up our understanding-the premise is that we must learn from our lessons! My speech is over."

Then Yifan, the head of the Cheka, talked a lot about "being alert to the tendency of aggressiveness in local work", and believed that the Danzhou work team led by Liu Yichu used more investment and blossomed in all directions as "adventurism".

"Everyone, we used to do things step by step in Lingao. First control the surrounding area of ​​the county, then suppress the bandits, win over the gentry, and finally start to suppress the bandits. Now the Danzhou work team is spreading the net in one step. Without thorough preparations, it is not surprising that such a vicious incident will occur."

Yifan went on to say:

"There are still many lessons learned this time. We have not done enough in the details. I propose to revise the "Work Manual" of the task force. The standard process needs to be re-formulated based on this experience. Especially in terms of food safety, Restrict edible fruits and vegetables - distribute animal and plant manuals so that indigenous people can also distinguish between poisonous and edible plants. At the same time, the villages stationed in also need to be scored to evaluate the safety level. The more dangerous, the higher-level contact tools should be given priority. For example, carrier pigeons, signal flares, and even walkie-talkies. Then on the whole, we still need to consider breaking the original village pattern, merging villages and villages, and gradually mobilizing the local people.”

"This incident shows that it is not enough to just use the task force and ignore the armed struggle." Wei Aiwen continued to talk, "We underestimated the security war. In view of the fact that our ruled area will become larger and larger in the future, we need to set up a special research institution Research on this is imperative.”

……

The Senate finally came to a conclusion: 35 people died at one time, and the loss was still in the hands of the bandits.This is simply an unprecedented fiasco!It is agreed that this matter must be dealt with seriously, and it will be investigated to the end!
Subsequently, Qian Shuiting and others initiated the proposal to set up an investigation committee for the Wangpu Village incident, and the committee sent special personnel to Danzhou to conduct a comprehensive and thorough investigation of the entire incident. Whether he is directly responsible for this incident due to negligent dereliction of duty and violation of regulations.

The Standing Committee of the Senate passed this resolution and elected the committee.

Qian Shuiting, director of the committee, believed that since the report mentioned that the task force had signs of poisoning, professionals should be sent there.Finally, Fa Shilu, a botanical expert from the Council of Agriculture, was appointed as the investigator, and Ji Xin from the arbitration tribunal was appointed as the deputy commissioner.Lan Yangyang served as a forensic doctor - although he repeatedly claimed that he was just a gastroenterologist.

The investigation team was issued an independent investigation certificate by the arbitral tribunal.With this certificate, the Danzhou authorities must fully cooperate with his work without any obstruction or evasion: the investigation team has the right to inspect and seize any physical evidence and talk to anyone alone.The report materials he compiled are also confidential and are only submitted to the committee for review and discussion.

The investigation team first took a naval supply ship to Danzhou, received a brief welcome from Liu Yixiao at the pier, and then transferred to an ox cart to Danzhou City.

"All the physical evidence and the dissected corpses are in Danzhou City." Liu Yixiao said, "There is no cold storage here, and the corpses can only be stored in the basement, where they rot quickly. If you don't come here, you will have to be cremated."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can see the contents of your stomach." Lan Yangyang said while studying his notebook—this is a note he made after studying "Forensic Science" for a few days.

After arriving in Danzhou, the investigation team immediately got busy.Lan Yangyang immediately conducted an autopsy and extracted the contents from the stomach.

He handed the glass jar full of gray goo to Fa Shilu, and took off the mask with relief:

"Okay! My work is over, let's see yours next."

Fa Shilu frowned - he smelled a disgusting rancid smell.He took out his portable microscope, put on his mask, and started to get busy.

An autopsy and examination of the food remaining in the stomach proved that the task force had indeed been poisoned by a plant.Fa Shilu gave the exact answer after studying the residue:

"It's hook kiss." He said briefly, "commonly known as heartbroken grass. This thing is too poisonous. Three or four leaves can kill people! It's worse than eating arsenic—and it's boiled, The onset is faster. If you don’t treat it, you will die within eight hours.” He took out some gray things with tweezers, “I also added bitter melon to cover up the smell, and many green leafy vegetables to cover up the leaves. These bandits really have some ideas!”

"This group of people must be divided into pieces!" Liu Yixiao said through gritted teeth.

"Vegetables must be obtained on the spot. If the enemy comes to this hand, it is really hard to guard against." Yu Zhiqian said, "I have to inform all the teams sent out to temporarily stop letting local people buy vegetables on their behalf. They must go to the field to pick them in person. Pick wild vegetables and fruits."

Liu Yixiao asked: "Is there any simple treatment method? Organize the health workers to learn, in case they eat poisonous substances in the future, they can save themselves."

"Traditional Chinese medicine says that poisoned people can be detoxified by feeding licorice, mung beans, and honeysuckle decoction. However, I think that detoxification decoctions such as gastric lavage must first be effective." Lan Yangyang said, "At least induce vomiting. This poisonous plant As long as you can induce vomiting at the first time, you can increase the rescue time a lot.”

"These three things are not difficult. Prepare a copy for the work team in the future!" Liu Yixiao became very active, "There is no emetic—I hope the Ministry of Health can solve it."
