Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 1027 - 673: Well-Intentioned Motives
With the addition of a dunship from the Yangtze River Navigation Bureau, the living conditions of the First Team improved.
Although the Second Team did not receive additional dunships, they relocated yesterday morning to the vicinity of the under-construction Jingzhou Yangtze River Bridge.
Onshore, there were dozens of mobile rooms belonging to construction units, nine of which were equipped with air conditioning for use as offices. Coordinated by the Jingzhou Port Supervision Bureau, these rooms were borrowed for the Second Team's soldiers to rest in shifts.
The Binjiang Police 002 and a supervision boat from the Jingzhou Port Supervision Bureau subsequently became transportation boats for the Second Team's soldiers, responsible for ferrying the Second Team soldiers between both banks of the Jingjiang.
Old Ge wasn't a shipman, and he would stay onshore as long as he could avoid staying on the boat.
The two diesel generator sets brought from his hometown were already moved onto the boat, and the container originally brought as a power generation and distribution room was hoisted onto the levee where the temporary pier was located. It was cleaned up, furnished with two desks, four chairs, and a single bed taken from the Jingjiang Port Supervision Bureau, and now served as his office and dormitory.
The container was already equipped with air conditioning, and since it could be connected to power onshore, it wasn't hot inside despite being made of iron.
Worth mentioning is that the fixed telephone of the Jingzhou Yangtze River Bridge construction unit was also requisitioned. Under the concern of Vice Mayor Zhong of Shishou City, a telephone line was also installed last night under the guise of establishing an emergency rescue command sub-branch for the Second Team.
Since cell phone call costs were too high, starting today, the fixed phones were preferred to save costs.
In fact, it didn't start today. As early as yesterday noon, using the fax machine and film fax machine borrowed from a reporter from the Yangtze River Shipping News, and utilizing the construction unit's telephone line, reporters from the Linghai Daily and Linghai TV Station sent many press releases and photos to his hometown, including site photos of Vice Army Commander Lu of 105 Army commending the entire camp.
The fax machine wasn't necessary, but the film fax machine was a good thing.
Old Ge just called to ask Huang Yuanchang if he could help the camp borrow a film fax machine so that Secretary Ye and Mayor Qian could promptly see the photos. Just as he put down the phone, it rang again.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Director Ge, it's me. I just got back from the rescue site. Xiao Zhao said you called me?"
It turned out to be Old Wang. He was doing quite well over on the Shishou side, treated as an honored guest by the leadership of Shishou City, and even joined the Shishou City Flood Control Office representing the emergency rescue assault team.
Old Ge glanced at the calendar schedule and replied with a smile over the phone: "I also just got back from the levee, went with Vice Mayor Liu of Jingzhou to see Hao Qiusheng and the others reinforcing the levee across the river. Called you in the morning mainly for two things."
I was with the vice mayor of a county-level city.
You actually joined up with the vice mayor of a prefecture-level city, are you trying to overshadow me?
Comrade Old Wang felt a little annoyed and unhappily asked, "What is it?"
"The first thing is, the unit names on the signs you erected are not consistent. I noticed the issue all along the way, initially it was Linghai Reserve Camp and 132 Regiment, Naval Engineering College digital codes, and now it changed to Linghai Reserve Camp and Linghai Bridge, Linghai Port Engineering Construction Command!"
"Isn't it written well like that?"
"I'm not saying it's bad, but it could be better."
"Then how do you suggest writing it?"
"Writing Linghai Bridge is correct, but it should be standardized; it should read 'China Linghai Transportation Bridge and Road Engineering Co., Ltd.' The word 'Transportation' cannot be omitted."
Old Wang suddenly realized and quickly said, "Wait a moment, let me note it down."
Crude cadres, careless in work but at least with a good attitude.
Old Ge murmured to himself, then continued: "With Linghai Bridge present, no need to write Linghai Port Engineering Command anymore, after all, we're here for rescue, not port construction."
Old Wang instinctively asked, "Only leave Linghai Bridge as the sole rescue construction unit?"
"Surely not, a few more need to be added."
"Which units should be added?"
"Add the Ministry of Transport Yangtze River Navigation Bureau, the Ministry of Transport Yangtze River Navigation Engineering Bureau, and the Ministry of Transport Yangtze River Shipping Police Bureau."
"Adding the Navigation Bureau and the Navigation Engineering Bureau is easy since both relate to construction. Is it necessary to add the Yangtze River Shipping Police Bureau, won't it seem inappropriate?"
"You're putting up not only project overview signs but also warning signs; adding the police lends authority."
"Doesn't this make it appear as if all the work is done by the Changhang System?"
"Who exactly is doing the work, the superiors know. Furthermore, the Changhang System indeed contributed both financially and with efforts; we shouldn't forget their contributions. More importantly, the headers are all Ministry of Transport; our cooperation between Linghai and the Ministry of Transport is nothing to be ashamed of."
"Okay, as you say, I'll have Old Chen write it that way."
"What was previously written should be promptly corrected."
"The workload is a bit large."
"All the rescues we have carried out are documented, modify according to the rescue records, and take it as reviewing our rescue engineering quality, and you can incidentally compile a review report."
For fear that Old Wang might find it troublesome, Old Ge emphasized: "We are currently strengthening the levee sections that were urgently rescued during the third flood peak. How did the engineering quality of those levee sections that were rescued during the second flood peak stand up to the third flood peak? The City Flood Control Command cannot pay attention or even begin to collect statistics, but as a rescue construction unit, we cannot ignore this. We must understand it on the ground and conduct statistics."
It seems reasonable, at least to prove that the Linghai Reserve Camp is responsible for its work.
Old Wang thought it necessary, then asked, "What about the second matter?"
