Otto did not expect Gu Ji to be so meticulous in the investigation of the incident.

Few officers would take the time to read a company's factory technical manual because of an attack and bombing.

The fire chief was a tall man in his forties.

After listening to Gu Ji's analysis, he turned to the deputy mayor and several leaders, "Sir, if everything is as this sergeant says, this catastrophic accident may not be easy to control. We need detailed information on the chlorine production plant's gas inventory, in case..."

"In case of what?"

Otto immediately asked back.

Gu Ji spoke out in place of the fire chief.

"In case the gas inventory is too large and the accident gets out of control, the toxic gas will spread throughout the city and even radiate to the surrounding areas. By then, it will trigger a horrifying regional disaster!"

Regional...

Hearing these words, Otto was shocked, and the two inspectors beside him broke out in a cold sweat, their breathing becoming tense.

If it really turned out that way, they would not only face punishment from the Schutzstaffel, but their entire family would become sinners in Hans' history, despised by others.

Otto said seriously and nervously:

"Where is the person in charge of the production base now?"

"I sent someone to find him earlier, but there's still no news..."

Just as Gu Ji answered, a few workers and security personnel were seen running towards the gate from the factory area not far away, in a state of panic.

He vaguely remembered these men seemed to be with Ler, responsible for shutting off electricity and gas at the factory, so he stopped one of them.

"Where's Ler? Did you find Goring? Why did the gas suddenly start leaking?"

"Cough, cough... Mr. Goring isn't in the base!"

The worker trembled all over, coughing with his mouth half-open, his voice incredibly hoarse, sounding as if a knife had sliced open his chest, "We don't know the exact cause of the leak either, maybe the high temperature caused the pressure in the gas pipes to increase and expand. Mr. Ler instructed us to escape first to prevent further leakage and went to activate the sprinkling equipment himself..."

"What!?"

Gu Ji's expression turned severe.

In such a serious production accident, Goring, the person in charge of the production base, was not present at the scene.

"Deputy Mayor, please immediately arrange for the surrounding personnel to evacuate at least one kilometer away, as the toxic gas will soon settle to the ground. Also, organize the police and medical systems to maintain urban order and safety as a large-scale gas leak will quickly cause widespread panic;"

"Second, find Goring as soon as possible to obtain the gas inventory data of the chlorine production plant, the plant's structural layout, and the number of workers on duty that day. Determine the accident's danger level, the number of trapped persons, gather all hospitals in the town, vacate beds, and prepare to treat the accident's casualties;"

"Third, contact the chemical defense troops and fire brigade for large-scale ground spraying to control the spread of toxic gas, coordinate air force transport planes for air water-dropping support, dispatch chemical reconnaissance teams to detect the chlorine and hydrogen chloride levels in the safe zone's air every five minutes."

After saying these three statements.

Otto and the commander of the stationed national defense forces showed expressions of amazement.

One was a top government leader of a town with a population of hundreds of thousands, and the other a top commander of a thousand-strong brigade, naturally aware of the procedures and methods for handling large-scale crisis events.

But there were very few like Gu Ji who could remain calm and think quickly to formulate defensive response plans, amidst the consecutive tensions of rescuing people, resolving stampede incidents, and answering government inquiries.

Moreover, the plan was clear and methodical with a "prevent, confirm, resolve" three-step approach, taking into account potential secondary criminal crises triggered by the incident.

From detailed frontline command to macro-level scheduling and control.

This simply was not something a sergeant could accomplish.

Instead, it required the experience and decision-making abilities of a commander who had been through multiple large-scale battles involving thousands of people.

Gu Ji turned around to borrow a gas mask from the fire brigade, "Bring a few experienced ones from the fire brigade to go into the factory with me to rescue people!"

Unexpectedly, Luca also pulled Eugen and hurried over at this moment.

"Herman, we're going with you to rescue Ler!"

"The chlorine gas is already settling, the factory is too dangerous, you..."

"We're a team, and as the team leader, I can't abandon any member. We retired from the battlefield together, and are better coordinated than these firefighters."

Luca insisted on acting together.

Seeing the determined look in his eyes, Gu Ji did not refuse further and had the medical personnel take out several medical sheets from the logistics supplies.

"Everyone, soak the sheets entirely and wrap them around yourselves, especially the head, ensuring to cover the head, cheeks, neck, and other areas. Chlorine, hydrogen chloride, and sulfuric acid are all highly corrosive substances and soluble in water, so make sure to avoid exposing your skin."

As Gu Ji spoke, he demonstrated by wrapping a scarf around his entire head like the Arabs in the Middle East.

The firefighters, looking at the sheets in their hands, exchanged uneasy glances, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Otto repeatedly observed Gu Ji, his expression changing multiple times, finally making up his mind and said:

"Now, I appoint Mr. Herman as the on-site operations commander, and the firefighters and police should obey all commands!"

"The Ludwig Port garrison's military police platoon will also follow the commands of Lieutenant Luca and Mr. Herman."

The commander of the garrison also spoke up.

Whoa!

All personnel from the fire department, military police, and others in the three sectors were in an uproar. In less than ten minutes of interaction, the government and military high-level handed over half the command authority to a sergeant, which was truly astonishing.
