Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 845 - 574: Catching a Good Era

It can’t rain every day.

The weather cleared up, and Comrade Ge Weidong, the former director of the Linghai City Transportation Bureau, was back on the job.

Previously, he was brought back to contribute without a specific position, only holding titles like deputy leader or member of some leadership group for certain tasks.

This time, he has a position. He is now the Deputy Commander of the Linghai Economic and Technological Development Zone Flood Control and Drought Relief Command Center. Also appointed as deputy commanders are the old secretary of former Jiangbin Town and the former village chief of Sanhe Town.

Starting today, the three of them will take turns on duty, fully responsible for flood control along the Yangtze River coastline in the development zone.

The Chief Commander can only be Secretary Chen Wenhua, the Director of the Development Zone Management Committee and Sanhe Street Secretary, but Secretary Chen is busy attracting investment and has no time for flood control.

Compared to the high-end looking and seemingly advanced Traffic Control Center of the Port Supervision Department, Old Ge prefers to set up the flood control command center in the command and dispatch room on the second floor of the barge.

After all, he has been a transportation director before, previously in charge of the Linghai Port Navigation Supervision Station, how could he go to work at the Ministry of Transport’s Port Supervision? Although Han Xiangning is his junior and respects him a lot, one must distinguish personal from work matters, he can’t live under others’ roof!

However, it’s not up to him to decide whether he wants to go or not.

Because starting three days ago, the barge was officially borrowed by the Binjiang Municipal Public Security Bureau Water Police Branch.

The Changhang Bureau got two law enforcement boats and started full-line patrols on the Binjiang waters.

Director Wang and Political Commissioner Ma couldn’t sit still and thought the Water Police Third Team couldn’t always stay inside the Bin Qi River Lock. An agreement was reached with the Development Zone Management Committee through Han Yu, moving the Third Team onto the barge.

The original team headquarters, initially the Water Police Fourth Squad, is now the water police office of the Water Police Third Team, with two auxiliary police staying there to maintain security on the Bin Qi River.

Binjiang Police 002, like the Yangtze Police 110 of the Changhang Bureau, conducts periodic or non-periodic water patrols from Changzhou to Dongqi waters, while Binjiang Police 003 is responsible for patrolling from Tiansheng Port to Gaoru waters.

As for the ten-kilometer water area in the urban district and the development zone waters, they are patrolled by an old motorboat urgently repaired last year for rectifying illegal sand dredging.

The team commander Luo Wenjiang, instructor Cao Yang, deputy team commander Jiang Chunhui, and the newly appointed team logistics officer Zhang Lan have all moved in.

Ma Jintao, Yang Yong, Dong Bangjun, Zhang Bigong, Guo Weitao, Wang Xiaohua, and other police officers and auxiliary police of the Water Police Fourth Squad also came over.

"The First Post of the Yangtze River" was officially taken over by the Water Police Branch, and the port supervision barge thus became the police barge, with the "Port and Navigation Supervision" sign on the top of the boat even removed.

If it weren’t for the fact that they couldn’t offend Xiao Yu, they even planned to requisition Xiao Yu’s dormitory.

...

Flood control work is very important.

But now that the weather is clear, the tide level has dropped, and the weather forecast says there will be no rain for the next three or four days, there’s no need to be as tense as before.

Old Ge doesn’t have much to do temporarily, and he can’t just go home either, so he decided to take his old friends, who are also deputy commanders of the development zone flood control command center, to visit the Linghai Reserve Camp, and after touring the camp, they came to visit the barge.

Old comrades are the precious assets of our party.

Besides, they are not just regular old comrades. After all, they haven’t retired, just stepped back from the front line.

The team commander, instructor, and deputy team commander split into several groups, leading teams to various locks to inspect the vessels entering and exiting the Yangtze River, while Zhang Lan stayed on the barge to ensure a warm welcome.

It was the first time the two old leaders boarded the barge. Initially, everything seemed new. When they walked into the small meeting room and the command dispatch room and saw the photos on the wall, they were filled with emotion.

"Director Ge, if I remember correctly, Xu Sanye is six years younger than me."

"He’s six years younger than you, and seven years younger than me."

"Getting old, my memory isn’t good. If I didn’t see these photos, I wouldn’t even remember this person."

Old Ge picked up his teacup and sighed, "Secretary Wang, if you hadn’t stepped back from the front line and were still working in Jiangbin, you would definitely remember Sanye. The Political and Legal Committee Secretary and Military Minister of the development zone, who is also the camp commander of the reserve camp we just visited, Salted Fish, is Sanye’s second apprentice. The director Xiao Han of the Port Supervision Department is Salted Fish’s spouse."

The old secretary of Jiangbin Town turned back and said, "Even though we were on duty at the Traffic Control Center of the Port Supervision Department for two days, if you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known."

The old village chief of Sanhe Town realized, could not help but laugh, "Director Ge, no wonder Director Xiao Han respects you so much, turns out there’s this connection!"

Director Xiao Han is like my daughter’s-in-law, she certainly should respect me...

Old Ge was quite proud, turned around with a smile and introduced, "Secretary Wang, Village Chief Song, it seems you don’t know Xiao Zhang either. Xiao Zhang used to work at our Linghai Police Bureau, and now she is an officer at the Binjiang Municipal Public Security Bureau Water Police Branch. Her husband is Xu Mingyuan, who used to be the Criminal Investigation Captain of our Linghai Police Bureau and was recently transferred to Customs."

"Wasn’t Wu Ren Guang the Criminal Investigation Captain?"

"When was that? Wu Ren Guang has long since been promoted to deputy director."

"We’ve always been in the townships, even after stepping back from the front line we stay in the countryside every day. We don’t often go to Linghai. Director Ge, if you hadn’t told us, we really wouldn’t know."

Secretary Wang laughed awkwardly.

Village Chief Song didn’t feel like living in the countryside was anything to be ashamed of, thinking there wasn’t much good about the city.

Zhang Lan quickly and politely said, "Hello Secretary Wang, hello Village Chief Song, welcome Secretary Wang, and Village Chief Song to inspect our team’s work."

"What do you mean inspect work? Xiao Zhang, you don’t know, we’ve long since stepped back from the front line. This time we were ’drafted’ to help with flood control."
