When the plane of the rescue team landed at Ndola International Airport, two commercial vehicles of the Chinese Embassy in Zambia were already waiting.
Ndola, the capital of Zambia's major mining province, Copperbelt Province, is located in the north-central part of Zambia, adjacent to Zaire, is Zambia's import and export gateway, and is also the site of the copper mine collapse.
Because it was clear in advance that there were comrades from the elite special forces in the rescue team this time, when the embassy came to greet them, they specially asked Wang Mingguang, the military attache of the military attache of the embassy, to lead the leader.
After a few words of greeting, Zhao Guoyang and his entourage followed Wang Mingguang into the car and went straight to the rescue site.
It is 150 kilometers from Ndola International Airport to the place of the incident.
Fortunately, the roads on the African continent are in good condition, all roads are flat, and there are relatively few cars, so it only took Zhao Guoyang and them two hours to rush to the edge of the accident.
After getting out of the car, looking at the groups of muttering foreigners around the edge of the large ruins in front of them, several members of the rescue team were dumbfounded.
According to a rough estimate, there are more than 200 rescuers from these countries who can be seen with the naked eye at the scene.
The point is, the number is growing.
Zhao Guoyang alone saw a lot of rescue vehicles coming in a hurry and hanging the flags of various countries along the way.
"Old Fang, it seems that we are late."
Looking at the crowd in front of her, Yu Hongjuan couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing her emotion, Fang Yaoqian shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Hongjuan, you are wrong about this kind of mining disaster rescue, it's not that simple."
"Let's just talk about this huge ruin in front of you, if you want to dispose of it first, there will be a lot of obstacles."
When Fang Yaoqian and Yu Hongjuan were talking in a low voice, Zhao Guoyang had already come to the station of the Huaxia rescue team under the recommendation of Wang Mingguang.
When the two entered side by side, in the tent that had been temporarily pulled up, a middle-aged man with a grim face was listening carefully to the analysis of his experts.
"Ambassador Lee, the situation is already obvious.
Due to the high possibility of a landslide here, the way of advancing underground rescue has been basically denied. ” "This result is also generally recognized by rescue teams in various countries" After listening to the expert's words, Zhao Guoyang almost figured out the identity of the middle-aged man in front of him.
Obviously, this is Li Heng, the Chinese ambassador to Zambia.
Several people in the tent also noticed the arrival of Zhao Guoyang and Wang Mingguang at this time, and turned their eyes to them.
As soon as they saw that Wang Mingguang personally brought someone in, everyone naturally knew that this was the leader of the rescue team sent out in China.
It's just that when everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Guoyang's young face, they were a little uncertain.
Just when he was hesitating, Li Heng asked first: "Mingguang, this is Researcher Zhao?"
Wang Mingguang was already about to introduce him, but of course he said in response at this moment: "Yes, Ambassador Li, this is Zhao Guoyang, the leader of the special rescue team sent by our country, and researcher Zhao."
"Ah, Researcher Zhao, hello hello" After listening to Wang Mingguang's introduction, Li Heng hurriedly shook hands with him, which was regarded as a greeting.
As for the other people in the tent, although they were a little unimpressed with this researcher Zhao being so young, they were still very polite on their faces.
Because of the urgency of the situation, Zhao Guoyang did not have a few polite people, but directly said to Li Hengda: "Ambassador Li, I don't know what the specific situation is now, whether the rescue plan has been drawn up by various countries?"
Hearing this, Li Heng smiled bitterly: "Researcher Zhao, where is it so easy?"
Stretching out his hand to the scene outside the tent, Ambassador Li sighed: "Researcher Zhao, you and the comrades of the rescue team should have seen it when you came here just now, and rescue teams from more than ten countries have been assembled here.
Subsequently, there are many rescue teams on the way. ” "With so many rescue teams, each with their own rescue strategy, it's really difficult to coordinate."
After listening to Ambassador Li's remarks, Zhao Guoyang nodded approvingly and said: "I understand that it is difficult to reconcile, and this is what he said."
"However, Ambassador Li, on the Zambian side, someone should come out to preside over the situation, given the friendly relations between our Huaxia and the Zambian government, in terms of rescue, our opinion should be the most weighty."
Listening to Zhao Guoyang's gentle words, several staff members in the tent muttered to themselves in their hearts.
The expert who had just reported the situation to Li Heng couldn't hold back, so he sarcastically said to him: "Researcher Zhao, your ideas are really too idealistic. ” "If you want to say that the place where this collapse accident took place, or the copper mine belonging to our Huaxia Nonferrous Metals Mining Group Company, all rescue plans should be subject to our company's emergency response center."
"But this rescue matter has nothing to do with face, the rescue teams in Europe and the United States are more experienced and capable, and of course they must occupy a natural dominant position."
Listening to the words of this so-called expert, Zhao Guoyang's brows were furrowed.
Although this guy's words are also true, this kind of "grow the morale of others and destroy their own prestige" still makes Zhao Guoyang a little dissatisfied.
He turned his head and glanced at Wang Mingguang, naturally hoping that he could introduce the person in front of him.
After Wang Mingguang came to his senses, he hurriedly said: "Researcher Zhao, this is the deputy director of the emergency handling center of the Huaxia Nonferrous Metals Mining Group Company that I mentioned, and Wei Donghai, the safety commander of the copper mine in Zambia."
After listening to Wang Mingguang's introduction, Zhao Guoyang glanced at this Wei Donghai and said lightly: "It seems that Wei experts don't trust our Huaxia mine disaster rescue level very much."
In this case, this rescue operation, you can help take care of it, and leave the specific work to our rescue team."
Zhao Guoyang's words were heard by Fang Yaoqian, Yu Hongjuan and others who had just entered the tent.
For a while, the rescue team was full of praise for the young team leader's neatness and secretly.
After saying this, Zhao Guoyang didn't care how ugly the look on the face of the Wei expert was, and directly turned to Envoy Li Heng and said: "Ambassador Li, let's continue the problem just now, on the Zambian side, there should be a joint command center, which is responsible for unifying the actions of the various rescue teams, if it is convenient, I want to go over and take a look."
Li Heng also woke up from his stunned at this time, and nodded again and again: "Okay, Researcher Zhao, I'll take you over to meet with Mr.

Christophe Toulouse."
Zhao Guoyang showed a look of gratitude, nodded to Ambassador Li, didn't even look at the Wei expert, and directly followed Li Heng and Wang Mingguang out of the tent.
After chatting with Li Heng along the way, Zhao Guoyang finally had a general understanding of the situation at the scene.
It turned out that the Christopher Toulouse mentioned by Ambassador Li was Zambia's Minister of Mines and Mineral Development and the commander-in-chief of the rescue operation.
At the scene, the rescue operation has rushed to the scene to participate in the rescue team, a total of 12.
Most of them are rescue teams from developed countries such as the United States, France, England, Germania, island countries, and South Korea.
There are also a few rescue teams from neighboring African countries, such as South Africa and Nigeria.
Because of the friendly relationship between China and Zambia, the Minister of Toulouse and Envoy Li Heng had a very good personal relationship, and a few people in his group went directly to the command center at the site of the collapse without a report.
After entering this simple command center, Zhao Guoyang saw the black man in a suit surrounded by four or five white people at first glance.
Obviously, this must be the Zambian Minister of Mines and Mineral Development, Christophe Toulouse.
As for the four or five white people, regardless of asking, they must be the leaders of rescue teams from those countries in Europe and the United States.
It can be seen that the atmosphere in the command center is a little hot, and several white people are not giving in to each other, and you are accusing each other without saying a word.
And Toulouse, the "host", seemed to be unable to make up his mind, and looked at these "fairy fights" in front of him in a dilemma, unable to think of any way.
At this time, the people in the house also noticed Zhao Guoyang's arrival.
Christopher Toulouse, who was surrounded in the middle, looked surprised, and greeted him and asked, "Dear Lee, didn't you just leave, why did you come here again?"
Li Heng was thinking about how to introduce him, and after listening to the question of the Minister of Toulouse, he hurriedly gestured to Zhao Guoyang and said: "Minister Toulouse, this researcher Zhao Guoyang Zhao is the leader of our Huaxia rescue team, and he just rushed over from China."
"Ah, it turned out to be Researcher Zhao, hello, thank you very much for your country's attention to this rescue work, you have worked hard all the way, Researcher Zhao" Toulouse spoke very politely to Zhao Guoyang, which should be because of Aiwu and Wu.
However, when the few white people who surrounded him before saw this situation, you look at me, and I look at you, all of them have a look of disdain.
After Toulouse greeted Zhao Guoyang here, he hurriedly invited him and Li Heng inside.
As he walked, he introduced in fluent English: "Researcher Zhao, the current rescue work has encountered great difficulties.
No, the leaders of the rescue teams in the United States, England, and France are all here at this time, trying to determine the final plan for the rescue. ” "It just so happens that Researcher Zhao is also here, let's sort out the situation together and see if we can come up with a proper plan."
As soon as Toulouse's words were finished, a middle-aged man with blond hair who was tall and tall and had a slab on his head snorted: "What's the use of the rescue team in Huaxia is not just messing around."
"Milhouse, you just said so much nonsense, I can't listen to a word.
I agree with the only sentence I said," the curly-haired white man in a white suit next to him echoed
