Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 322 - 229: I’m Also a Fixed Asset

Suddenly needing to spend hundreds of thousands, the colleagues onshore would be shocked.

In fact, the annual fuel cost of 001 is equivalent to the annual budget of two or three police stations onshore.

The superiors reformed the tax system, and the city’s finances were strained.

With the city already short on funds, the bureau was certainly no better off.

Han Yu was well aware of the difficulties faced by Director Yang and Commissioner Ding, so from the beginning, he did not contemplate asking the bureau for money, only hoping that the bureau could provide some preferential policies in terms of lawful revenue returns.

Unexpectedly, with the help of Political Commissioner Wang, the bureau leaders actually agreed, which was no easy feat.

After all, the Linghai Police Bureau had so many grassroots stations and teams. Although the water police had the special characteristic of "burning money", not all colleagues could understand this. The bureau leaders had to work with the leaders of the grassroots stations and teams, otherwise, it would be difficult to manage the team.

It’s worth mentioning that in the eyes of the colleagues onshore, the current Yanjiang Police Station and the future Bailong Port Water Police Team of the Linghai Security Team seemed very leisurely.

No task of crackdowns, no endless special operations.

No revenue generation tasks, no subscriptions to periodicals and magazines, not even as many evaluations...

In fact, Yanjiang Police Station was not leisurely at all, as they had to maintain security on the river and along the Four Factory section of the Bailong River as well as manage the shorelines’ fire control.

Every spring, they faced the "Eel Fishing Battle", assisting the Fishery Administration and Port Supervision in combating illegal eel fishing, enduring the conflict for over a month.

Just as the Eel Fishing Battle ended, the plum rain season arrived, and they needed to assist the flood prevention departments in facing the spring floods.

Once the spring floods ended and the weather got hotter, the peak period of waterborne fires arrived, necessitating assistance with firefighting and rescue from the Port Supervision.

Just this past month, they handled ten water fire cases, and this morning received notice of an approaching typhoon!

The superiors requested that from 2 PM today, traffic control would be implemented throughout the entire Yangtze River’s Jiangnan section, and all ships along the coast and river must enter ports to avoid the winds, with over twenty ferry ports and over a hundred ferries ceasing operations.

The Water Police Fourth Squad divided into three groups; instructor Jia Yongqiang had to join the flood and typhoon command center in the development zone, collaborating with departments like Transportation and Water Affairs to check enterprises, docks, and sluice gates along the Bin Qi River and Kuzi Port River for their readiness against the typhoon and floods.

For instance, checking if houses built on the riverbank still had people inside, if so, they needed to be evacuated.

Or if the ships anchored in the river had their ropes securely fastened to prevent them from drifting or colliding when the typhoon hit.

Ma Jintao was responsible for cooperating with Port Supervision to inspect enterprises along the Yangtze River and evacuate ships anchored on the river. He also assisted Port Supervision in taking measures against ships that, despite knowing of the incoming typhoon, continued to navigate the river, prioritizing money over lives.

Squad leader Han Yu had to hurry and drive 001 back to Bailong Port, as requested by the Linghai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.

He hung up the phone from Political Commissioner Wang, packed his clothes, and just as he drove to the Water Rescue Center, his senior sister came to greet him: "San’er, I’ve contacted your dad, he and your mom just brought their ship into the inland river of Zhangjia Port. Not sure how many days this typhoon will last; he’s gone ashore to buy groceries."

The order to cease sailing was issued at ten in the morning, and in just a few hours, the river surface had become empty.

Han Yu looked at the river and asked, "Where’s Yu Zhen?"

"She originally planned to dock her ship at our dock, but Xiao Yu was worried and had her move to the sluice gate, waiting to pass through."

"Getting into Bin Qi River is safer, let her dock her ship at our squad’s dock."

"That goes without saying, she’ll definitely bring the ship over."

Han Xiangning checked her watch and pulled him along, saying, "Don’t rush back yet, Director Tang is currently inspecting the river. He knows 001 is heading back to Bailong Port and plans to ride along for inspections."

Han Yu subconsciously asked, "How does Director Tang know I’m taking 001 back?"

"I reported it."

"At a critical moment like this, driving 001 away, Director Tang didn’t say anything?"

"This is a requirement of the Linghai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government; how could Director Tang say anything. Besides, the waters of Bailong Port are also our jurisdiction, and unlike here, towboats from Binjiang Port cannot be summoned at any time. He is more reassured with 001 returning there."

Even if the local party committee and government hadn’t given orders, Han Yu would still have to return today.

Because the dunship was anchored on the river, he must rush back before the typhoon to check the anchoring of the dunship, and also to inspect whether the pontoon bridge was securely set.

The typhoon was moving at about fifteen kilometers per hour from Zhehai to the northwest, expected to enter the Binjiang District around ten o’clock tonight.

It would take an hour for 001 to return to Bailong Port. If the leaders from the Port Supervision Bureau boarded the ship and wanted to inspect a few ferry ports along the way, they might only reach Bailong Port by nightfall.

Time was pressing, Han Yu anxiously asked, "When will Director Tang arrive?"

"He just said he reached Lang Mountain, he should be here soon," Han Xiangning knew her junior brother was eager to go back and check the dunship, she subconsciously looked towards the river.

Although the Port Supervision Bureau no longer sponsored the Water Police Station, they still bore some of the maintenance costs for the dunship and 001, as well as part of 001’s fuel expenses.

For the Yanjiang Police Station, the Port Supervision Bureau was still a "major financier".

Director Tang wanted to ride 001 downstream to inspect the navigation closures, which was giving face to the Yanjiang Police Station. Despite the urgency, they had to wait.

Han Yu waved to Captain Wang and Baogen on the ship, waiting for the "financier" to arrive, meanwhile, he started chatting with his senior sister about family matters.

"Did you finish dealing with the house?"

"It’s handled; my mom went to make the payment yesterday. The typhoon has not only kept us busy, but my dad is even busier; he’s been on two consecutive shifts. My mom said after the typhoon passes, she’ll have him help out with the tidy-up."
