Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 1010 - 664: The Reserve Camp of the Transportation System

At 9:48, the Yangtze Police 110 vessel slowly docked to the floating crane ship of the Linghai Reserve Camp.

Huang Yuanchang and Old Ge arrived an hour earlier, and Wu Hai Li, the water commander of the First Team, had already received the notice, promptly organizing the officers to help bring the cable.

In the past few hours, Chen Zikun, Xiao Gong, and Xiao Chen felt like they were dreaming, unable to believe that Director Yuan of the Changhang Bureau and the leaders of the Yangtze Port Supervision Bureau, Yangtze River Navigation Bureau, and Yangtze River Communication Bureau would be on their ship.

After bringing the superiors here, they quickly opened the cabin door and invited the leaders ashore.

"Comrade Chen Zikun, you've worked hard."

"It wasn't hard, it just rained heavily, and the floating crane ship is slippery, so please watch your step."

"Thank you."

Director Yuan smiled and patted his arm, turning around with Xiao Gong's help to climb onto the floating crane ship.

Huang Yuanchang and Captain Wu hurried forward to greet them, smiling and exchanging pleasantries with the leaders, then introducing Old Ge.

Director Yuan firmly shook Old Ge's hand, enthusiastically saying, "Master Ge, though it's our first meeting, your name is already famous to us!"

"Director Yuan flatters me, greetings, Director Yuan, and greetings to all leaders, welcome Director Yuan and all leaders to inspect our camp's work."

"You've done very well, even better than we imagined! On the way here, I learned you've helped Shishou City and Angong County seal four major leaks. I immediately reported to the department leaders, who were very pleased, and entrusted me to convey the highest respect to everyone!"

"Thank you for the department leaders' care, thank you Director Yuan and all leaders for your concern."

"No need to be so polite."

Director Yuan released Old Ge's hand, pointed to the embankment ashore, solemnly saying, "Comrades, flood fighting is not only the responsibility of the water management personnel, but it's also our transportation personnel's concern! Just yesterday afternoon, the Yangtze Flood Control Headquarters held a meeting to discuss how to face the third flood peak already occurring upstream and considered whether to halt navigation from Shishou to the Hanwu section.

To assist in flood prevention and considering water traffic safety, several waterway sections upstream have been restricted. Halting navigation is simple, just issue an order and send a notice requiring the Port Supervision Bureau and Changhang Navigation Police Branch along the line to implement it, but the economic loss caused to the port and shipping enterprises along the Yangtze River by halting navigation is understood by you even if not by others.

Therefore, flood prevention is not only the responsibility of each level of water management departments, but also of our transportation system. Only by resisting the flood can the port and shipping enterprises along the Yangtze River restore normal production and operation, and the order of Changhang transportation can be restored."

Old Ge, having served as Transportation Bureau Director, deeply agreed and couldn't help but sigh, "Halting navigation greatly impacts Changhang transportation. To say nothing else, take our Linghai Shipping Company's fleet, which could originally run to Hanwu or even Jiangcheng; now, even with water transport business, they can't run long routes, only short hauls."

Others might think Old Ge was speaking out of feeling, but in fact, Old Ge was representing the Linghai City Committee and Municipal Government's position.

From this moment, the Linghai Reserve Camp was not just the reserve camp co-established by several units of the Changhang System in Binjiang, but also the reserve camp of the transportation system!

The stone in Huang Yuanchang's throat finally fell, and he seized the opportunity to introduce, "Director Yuan, esteemed leaders, this is Wu Hai Li, the water navigation and water rescue construction commander of the First Team, also Deputy Chief of the Binjiang Port Supervision Bureau Linghai Port Supervision Office."

"Greetings, Director Yuan and esteemed leaders." Old Wu promptly raised his hand in salute.

Just now, they were on a patrol boat of the Changhang System, staffed entirely by the Changhang Police System officers, and now meeting members of the Yangtze Port Supervision System, including the water commander of Linghai Reserve Camp's "First Team"!

Director Yuan was very pleased, grasping Old Wu's hand earnestly and sincerely saying, "Comrade Wu Hai Li, you've worked hard."

"When one place faces difficulties, all sides support; working hard is only to be expected."

"Good."

"Director Yuan, esteemed leaders, this is Lu Wei, captain of the Rescuing Construction Technique Squad of the 'First Team' at Linghai Reserve Camp. Lu Wei is an engineer from our Waterway Engineering Bureau."

...

As stated in the reports submitted by several units, the main leaders and key rescuers at Linghai Reserve Camp are either from various units of the Changhang System or from the local transportation system.

Director Yuan and other leaders of the Changhang System were delighted, and reporters from China Transportation News, who came along to interview, were even more intrigued, rapidly taking photos, and after taking them, pulling out notebooks to ask everyone's names, original work units, and contact information.

Though it had just rained heavily, making the embankment muddy and slippery, the leaders still wanted to ascend the embankment.

Old Ge accompanied Director Yuan and other leaders up the embankment, pointing at and below it while introducing, "This is both the area of construction to reinforce and raise the embankment, and the site for extracting soil needed to prepare sandbags for fighting the third flood peak. Although the leaders managed to gather abundant stone materials for us in every possible way, the danger keeps emerging, and several thousand tons of stone are far from enough. Without enough stone materials, we can only make do with sandbags."

"Extract soil from below the embankment, fill it into containers, transport it here to be loaded onto ships, ready for use at danger points anytime?"

"Yes, the floating crane ships from Binjiang Port Authority have played a vital role in transshipment loading and even water rescue construction."

The floating crane ship was large enough, its crane boom long enough.

It could extend to above the inner side of the embankment, directly lifting the filled sandbags onto inland cargo ships docked on the outer side of the floating crane ship.

Director Yuan scanned the surroundings, curiously asking, "Where is the soil extraction site?"
