Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 1209 - 67: Confidence and Determination! (2)

"Yes!"

Han Yu didn't have time to secretly criticize Boss Lu for only talking pretty words, hurriedly introducing Xu Mingyuan and others.

As the saying goes, "A single brave soldier is like a bear; a cowardly commander makes cowards of the nest."

Looking at the resumes of the main cadre of the brigade, as Secretary Lu said, they are indeed elite soldiers.

The Navy Chief was very pleased; even the head of the East Sea Base, who came to welcome the Navy Chief, felt that this reserve rescue boat team being formed might really achieve something.

The second agenda was taking a group photo.

After the photo, they visited the newly arranged honor room.

What you don't know can be shocking when you see it.

Though it's a brigade under construction, it surprisingly has tradition and heritage, and is even the predecessor of the People's Navy's predecessor---the Su Zhong Military District Sea Defense Group!

Listening to the national anti-flood model's endless explanations and watching the model's animated expressions, the head of the East Sea Base couldn't help but think, if I take everything you say seriously, should I organize the base cadres to come and learn?

The Navy Chief didn't expect Binjiang would raise such a big banner and couldn't help but laugh: "Comrade Han Yu, since your brigade has such a long history and such glorious traditions, you should achieve great things."

"Report Commander, we have the confidence and determination to build the rescue boat team into a first-class reserve naval force for the entire army! We will always remember the General Secretary's five requirements for the People's Army: 'politically qualified, militarily skilled, excellent conduct, strict discipline, and strong support.' We will rely on the existing equipment and collaborate with active forces to win modern warfare under high-tech conditions!"

"Talk about how you plan to rely on existing equipment and how you will collaborate with active forces to win modern warfare under high-tech conditions?"

"Commander, please this way, I'll report to you in the conference room."

"Okay."

Han Yu invited the commanders and city leaders to the conference room, presenting the formation and training plans of the rescue boat team, reporting in detail.

Relying on the technological advantages of two private shipyards and an underwater engineering company, using the training ship of Binjiang Shipping College and the offshore salvage and towing ship of Linghai Port, specializing in ship rescue.

At the same time, collaborating with Linghai Reserve Camp to form a landing craft squadron.

Additionally, with the five-hundred-ton fishery administration ship of Binjiang Ocean and Fishery Bureau and the anti-smuggling boats to be equipped to Customs, along with the medical rescue forces of two hospitals in Binjiang, they can perform maritime search and rescue and emergency medical aid.

From the file materials piled on the conference table, it could be seen that although the reserve rescue boat team has few reserve soldiers, even less than 150 people, the equipment is comprehensive.

This reserve rescue boat team can be said to be small but complete!

In short, all of this exceeded the Navy Chief's expectations, who couldn't help but nod: "What a way to rely on existing equipment! Comrade Han Yu, when the East Sea Fleet holds military exercises in the future, you must participate. Whether it is a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk, and see if it works on the exercise field!"

"Yes!"

"By the way, how long will it take for your brigade to form combat power?"

"At the latest, by the end of April next year."

"Are you so confident?"

"Report Commander, reserve forces are different from civilian soldiers; our reserve soldiers have undergone rigorous training and possess the necessary skills. We only need to do two things now."

"Which two things?"

"One is waiting for the equipment, and the other is integration."

"What equipment are you waiting for?"

"We are waiting for the power boats that Linghai Reserve Camp is about to build. Once their six power boats are completed and launched for sea training, I believe our brigade can form combat power."

"The out-at-sea training will be arranged by the East Sea Base."

The Navy Chief thought for a moment and then turned back with a smile: "Comrade Weiguo, since your local party committee and government support our naval reserve force construction so much, the Navy can't contribute nothing. How about this, during the training of the rescue boat team, the fuel guarantee will be handled by the East Sea Base."

"Thank you, Commander."

Secretary Lu put down his pen and paper, smiling: "Actually, organizing training for the rescue boat team doesn't consume much fuel. Our Binjiang can still bear the cost of this fuel. However, having the East Sea Base responsible for fuel guarantees can greatly stimulate the comrades' sense of honor and belonging, and can greatly enhance the cohesion of the brigade. After the training ends, if they can have a meal at the base, the comrades will definitely be more excited and more motivated."

The city leaders are truly city leaders, saving money with rationale.

Han Yu admired it greatly; the Navy Chief, however, thought Secretary Lu had a point and turned to look at Commander Liu of the East Sea Base.

Commander Liu hurriedly said: "Fuel guarantee is not a problem, and eating is even less of a problem."

The Navy Chief had to visit many troops on this outing and couldn't stay long. After some encouragement, he stepped out of the conference room, prepared to board a car to the Customs Anti-Smuggling Pier by the river, and take a high-speed ferry to the East Sea Base.

As Captain Chen was helping open the car door, the Navy Chief unexpectedly looked at two small villas not far away and asked: "Comrade Fang Rugang, are those two villas belonging to our Navy?"

"Report Commander, they were built by the radar group back then. After the radar group was disbanded, they have been managed by our retirement home."

"Are they occupied now?"

"No one lived there for the past few years, they were always empty, and the houses have been in disrepair. Recently, as we started forming the rescue boat team, the team set up a senior expert group. Comrade Han Yu used the opportunity of Customs building the anti-smuggling dock to ask Customs to help renovate them, and now they serve as the team's expert building."

Han Yu didn't expect the Commander would ask about this and hurriedly added: "Commander, one villa is empty, and in the other lives our team's professor-level senior engineer Ge Weidong. Master Ge is a Deputy Researcher of the Linghai City Government, who served as the City Transportation Bureau Director before retirement.

Master Ge is both our team's senior expert and a senior expert of the Linghai Reserve Camp. During flood fighting and rescue, Master Ge helped us a lot. Like me, he was jointly recognized as a national anti-flood model by the National Flood Control Headquarters, Human Resources Department, and General Politics, having attended the National Flood Control Summary and Commendation Conference."

"An elderly at home is a treasure! Respect experts, and in work, listen more to experts' opinions."

The Navy Chief paused, then asked: "Comrade Rugang, the superior strictly prohibits the troops from doing business. Has your retirement home engaged in business before?"

Commissar Fang hesitated for a moment, then quickly said: "Report Commander, we were involved in tertiary industry and ran enterprises before."

"What tertiary industry and enterprises?"

"We opened a gas station and ran a car repair shop."

"What about now?"

"The gas station has been closed, and the car repair shop has been handed over to the local according to the superior's orders."

"What about the personnel of the tertiary industry and enterprises?"

"Two comrades returned to the retirement home, and the others have all been demobilized."

Commissar Fang glanced at the base leaders and added: "A working group from the base came to check, and in executing the superior's orders, we were resolute. Some retirement homes still lease idle houses; our navy retirement home doesn't even lease houses."

The Navy Chief nodded in satisfaction, then got into the car.

The police car and the military district's inspection car led the way; Secretary Lu, Vice Mayor Qin, and Commander Wang followed. Han Yu drove the military vehicle of the retirement home, closely following, escorting the generals all the way to the high-speed ferry moored next to the flat barge at the anti-smuggling pier.

The Big Commander was leaving, naturally requiring a full escort.

But the boats of several enforcement units in Binjiang weren't fast enough, so Han Yu had to jump on Binjiang Police 002, personally steering to send the high-speed ferry into the main waterway, watching as the high-speed ferry disappeared from view and then returning to shore, where everyone, including Secretary Lu, breathed a sigh of relief.

Commander Wang suddenly remembered something, regretfully asking: "Salted Fish, why didn't you ask the Commander about the establishment date of the rescue boat team?"

"I forgot, I was focused on reporting the work and forgot to ask."

"You kid, how could you forget the most important thing!"

"I... I..."
