Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 880 - 597: What Mobile Strike Over a Thousand Miles? (Part 3)

Vice Mayor Qin was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, saying, "The words are crude but the reasoning isn’t bad. It sounds somewhat sensible."

Director Liu finally exhaled a sigh of relief, squeezed forward, and asked, "Xiao Yu, did you come up with this reasoning?"

"How could I come up with this? I’ve never been in the army. I heard it from my master."

"Does your master look down on the active troops?"

"Not really. When Brother Haoran came back and told him about his participation in the army’s long-distance mobility, my master was worried he’d get arrogant. He said something like long-distance mobility is just like going on a long trip. Our construction teams from Linghai working outside are all doing long-distance mobility."

Thinking about it carefully, due to budget constraints, many troops lack training in this area, making long-distance mobility seem difficult.

This topic is somewhat sensitive.

Vice Mayor Qin simply turned around, pointing to a dozen or so military trucks that had just parked neatly, saying, "Salted Fish, didn’t you ask for twenty trucks? Ten-ton ones are hard to find, but we managed to find four-ton ones. Trucks from the Military District, the Military District Retirement Home, Gangzha District Armed Forces Department, and Chonggang District Armed Forces Department have all arrived.

The Gaoru Armed Forces, Si Gang Armed Forces Department, Dongqi Armed Forces, Dongru Armed Forces Department, and your Linghai Armed Forces have trucks as well. They’ve also received orders from the Military District and are on their way to report. Once all the vehicles arrive, they’ll be formed into a transport company under your command."

A vast number of military trucks, along with several other district and county armed forces trucks en route, appear quite impressive.

Huang Yuanchang was secretly grateful, while Director Tang and Director Qi were inwardly amazed, feeling that the Binjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, along with the Binjiang Military District, were quite generous. Yet Han Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Mayor Qin, if the Military District agrees, I’d like to keep a few license plates; we don’t need the trucks, better let them take them back."

"You don’t need them?"

"Can these old Liberation and old Dongfeng trucks make it to Beihu? If you don’t believe me, ask those drivers if they have confidence in their vehicle conditions."

Seeing Vice Mayor Qin furrow his brows slightly, Han Yu thought for a moment and then smiled wryly, "The age of these trucks is older than both Xiao Yu and me. They can’t carry a few tons of cargo, easily break down, and consume a lot of fuel. Repairing them isn’t difficult; anyone who can fix a tractor can fix them. But if we really use these trucks, my brother-in-law will have his hands full with repairs alone."

Xiao Yu muttered further, "These trucks aren’t as good as box trailers (tractors with cargo boxes). The trailers used by the Road and Bridge Company have more power, don’t break easily, and can self-unload."

Vice Mayor Qin was taken aback and, chuckling wryly, asked, "Then how did you plan to use the Reserve Regiment’s three trucks for emergency tasks in your previous flood relief plan? Those three trucks seem to be quite old as well."

Before Han Yu could speak, Xiao Yu laughed and said, "Mayor Qin, we’re not using those three trucks for transporting earthwork or equipment; they’re designated as vegetable delivery trucks for the cooking team!"

"Military trucks are only used for buying vegetables?"

"This is one of the main reasons why executing long-distance mobility for the troops is not easy," Han Yu nodded.

Huang Yuanchang realized something, closely observing Han Yu, and asked, "Then what vehicles are you planning to use for transporting equipment?"

Coincidentally, as soon as Huang Yuanchang finished speaking, the faint sound of sirens was heard from outside.

In a short while, a Water Police Station police car appeared in front of everyone, followed by eight large flatbed trucks.

Among them were Mercedes, Volvo, and a few unrecognizable brands, but they were all certainly imported vehicles!

Han Yu raised his hand to greet Deputy Director Zhao Hongxing of the Water Police Station, who had personally cleared the way for these unlicensed trucks, and smiled triumphantly, "Mayor Qin, Director Huang, see, these are the types of vehicles we need."

"All imported, each costing upwards of a million, right?"

"Approximately."

"Where did you borrow them from?"

Director Qi, familiar with these large trucks, couldn’t help laughing, "The Port Authority."

Observing Vice Mayor Qin’s surprised look, Han Yu nonchalantly said, "Such vehicles are standard in the Port District, not just in our Binjiang Port Authority, but also at East Sea Port and Ningbo Port."

"But these trucks don’t have license plates."

"Just take a few off those military trucks." Han Yu laughed and continued, "Director Qi, when the orders come down and the main forces are about to set off, we may need the Bureau to arrange for two police cars in good condition to escort us, both for security along the way and for any interactions with traffic police."

"No problem, the bureau’s two Santanas are at your disposal."

"Mayor Qin, these large trucks can only carry equipment, not people. We’ll need to arrange for buses in advance, at least be prepared."

Supporting Beihu flood relief, Binjiang gains benefits and recognition.

Thinking that not only the Port Authority would benefit greatly, Vice Mayor Qin smiled and said, "If the trucks are this good, the buses can’t be any worse. Last year, Gaoru and Changzhou transport companies bought some imported coaches.

There are Mercedes, Kassbohrer, and if there aren’t enough of those, let them arrange for a few Ivecos."

Xiao Yu asked in surprise, "Mayor Qin, are you saying we can take the high-end coaches?"

"As long as it’s a drop-off and return, not a long-term usage, they’ll surely agree."

"Really?"

"Really!" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Vice Mayor Qin smiled and nodded, thinking that asking those two companies to provide transportation alone was too much of a bargain for them. As he contemplated further contributions they might make when deployment orders arrived, Han Yu inquired with a smile, "What about the military truck plates?"

"Take them off!"

Vice Mayor Qin waved his hand grandly and said seriously and solemnly, "Once the order comes, you’re heading to the front lines. Flood relief is akin to going to battle, so using these plates is entirely justified."
