Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 894 - 603: Mobilization! (Part 2)_3

"These are two separate matters."

The tractor chugged its way in.

The convoy of city leaders also arrived, waiting at the entrance for all the tractors to enter and park before coming in.

Han Xiangning watched his junior, full of anticipation but hesitant to speak, his heart softened. He muttered while handing over money, "Alright, here’s another fifty. It’s not just you; I don’t have much money either. I’m not doing this just for you; it’s all for Han Han, all for our family!"

"I know."

"What do you know? Don’t think you’re saving more than me! Besides buying fruit and snacks for Han Han, have you ever seen me buy anything myself?"

"I’m sorry, I don’t want the money."

"How can you just refuse it? It’s not wise to travel far without money. Take it and spend wisely."

"Oh."

It wasn’t easy to get fifty bucks, yet he got criticized and lectured.

Han Yu took the money but wasn’t as happy as he imagined; instead, he was filled with guilt, secretly swearing not to ask his senior for money again this year. Suddenly, the loud voice of Commander Wang from the Military District startled him from behind.

"Salted Fish, where’s Salted Fish?"

"Present!" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Commander Wang did not wait outside in the car. He strode to the front of the transport equipment convoy, pointing at the newly installed military license plates, "I used to think you were clever. How could you make such a basic mistake!"

"Commander Wang, I removed the military license plates and mounted them on these vehicles with Mayor Qin’s approval."

"Mayor Qin may not understand, but you should."

"Commander Wang, I was wrong."

"Do you know what your mistake was?"

"I should not have violated the regulations for military vehicle usage."

"You still don’t get it," Commander Wang signaled the Port Authority’s truck driver to quickly remove the military license plates while laughing. "Mercedes, Volvo - have you ever seen such good military vehicles? If you don’t put military plates on them, people might not say anything, but putting them on makes them want to stop and check you!"

"No problem if there’s no plates?" Han Yu asked in surprise.

"You’re under orders from the Military Commission to go for flood relief, similar to going to the front line in battle. Who dares to stop you? Do the plates matter?" Commander Wang asked back, then turned around and shouted, "Chief of Staff Jiang."

A captain quickly ran over, "Present!"

"Give the letter of introduction to Salted Fish. You’re experienced in troop transport, so quickly number the convoy and put the passes on."

"Yes!"

Han Yu looked at the letter of introduction from Chief of Staff Jiang in the Military District and suddenly felt delighted.

The letter explained the convoy’s affiliated unit and the mission to Beihu, emphasizing that they were dispatched by the Central Military Commission and requested assistance from party and government organizations, guard districts, military districts, especially police and transportation management departments along the way.

The endorsements bore official seals from the Binjiang Municipal Committee, Binjiang Municipal Government, Binjiang Military District, Binjiang City Police Department, and Binjiang City Transportation Bureau!

Chief of Staff Jiang was diligently pasting passes on the buses, Iveco coaches, and flatbed trucks, ensuring several official seals were on each pass and thoughtfully numbering them.

With the Military District Inspection Team’s SUV with police lights joining, the lead and trailing vehicles increased from two to three.

The Military District Inspection vehicle proudly became No. 1, the Changhang Bureau’s new Santana was No. 2, and the old Santana was No. 3. Then, numbering started from the Iveco, running from No. 4 to No. 17.

Chief of Staff Jiang received new recruits and dispatched them, being very experienced in troop transport.

After finishing with passes and numbering the convoy, while Chief of Staff Cui and officers such as Zhao Jiang organized all the reserve regiment troops, he came over smiling, "Secretary Han, I suggest arranging for an individual to act as a safety officer on each vehicle on the way to Beihu, to watch the road ahead, chat with the driver, and prevent drowsiness. Ideally, equip the safety officer with a radio for easy command."

"We’ve arranged for that; they’re all leaders from our regiment."

"Great, also for convoy grouping, small vehicles should follow the lead, buses should follow small vehicles, and trucks should follow buses for safety."

"Alright."

"Also, arrange a lead vehicle to be mobile. It can speed up or slow down during normal travel. Keep an eye on the engineering machinery and equipment tied to the trucks’ sides—especially check if large construction machinery is stable. When the convoy is close to a toll booth, let the mobile lead vehicle go ahead to communicate with the toll booth or checkpoint personnel for quick passage."

"Yes!"

"By the way, are you planning to take the south line or north line?"

An expert’s advice is immediately recognized.

Han Yu silently praised, hurriedly saying, "We’re planning to take the north line, from Binjiang onto the highway to Jiangcheng, then take Jianghe Highway to Hefei, from Hefei take the national route to Lu’an, crossing Dabie Mountain into Beihu province, through Ma City to Hanwu, then take the Hanwu to Changyi highway and exit at Jingzhou."

Chief of Staff Jiang nodded, smiling, "North line is better. If you take the south line along National Route 318, you’ll be following the Yangtze River, and towns like Wuhu, Qing’an, and Jiujiang along the way have serious flood conditions.

There’ll likely be many vehicles transporting relief materials, causing traffic jams, which would make for slow progress. Also, with equipment like yours, it’s hard to say if neighboring provinces might try to requisition them."

"That’s exactly why we’ve considered this."

"Where are the advance teams now?"

"They just called, they’re already in Jiangcheng."

"That fast!"

"The advance teams are all small vehicles; their conditions are good. Before departing, we also mounted a small police light on the regiment’s Cherokee."

"Though speed is crucial during missions, safety must be prioritized."

"Sure, we’ve arranged for hourly location reports, and when they call again, I’ll remind them."

The young man is more competent than expected; otherwise, he couldn’t have assembled so much valuable construction equipment.

Chief of Staff Jiang admired him genuinely, but reminded him, "Before coming, I researched the routes and called friends familiar with the south and north lines. They said both routes have similar distances, but taking the north line means crossing Dabie Mountain, where road conditions are tough, so drive slower in the mountains.

Plus, the north line goes through a tri-province border area with reportedly poor security and ongoing robber and bandit activity. Of course, you don’t need to fear robbers, but beware of thieves, especially during rest stops, make sure to have someone guarding."
