Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 903 - 608: Morale!

The fact proves that having a superior is completely different from not having one.

Captain Peng knew that Master Xi was eager to return, so before heading to attend a meeting at Angong County’s Flood Control Command, he arranged a covered truck to take the "Hong Kong Garrison" group to the riverside.

Master Xi is highly respected and older, so he must be seated in the front passenger seat.

Yao Lirong sat cross-legged in the compartment, padded with straw before getting on, leaning against the compartment wall, shaking while using his phone to report the situation here to Han Yu.

"So, neither Mayor Shen nor I need to go over?"

"No need, Captain Peng is very nice and easy to talk to, and he can make decisions. He sent us a military affairs officer, surnamed Dai, Master Dai is very young and capable, sitting right opposite me."

"Did Captain Peng say anything else?"

"No, he is very busy, I didn’t have time to report in detail about the camp’s situation, and he was rushed to attend a meeting at the county’s Flood Control Command. But we are also busy, the flood peak is coming soon, Master Xi and Master Xu need to hurry to Jingzhou’s Flood Control Command for a meeting. Jingzhou has a Deputy S presiding, that Deputy S even called Master Xi this morning."

"Please ask Master Xi to answer the phone."

"Secretary Han, we are on our way to the riverside, riding in a truck, we are sitting at the back, while Master Xi is in the cabin..."

"Then forget it, later on, help me pass a message to Master Xi that due to the road conditions not being very good, we might only reach Jingzhou around six or seven tomorrow morning. But upon arrival, we don’t need to rest, please ask Master Xi to coordinate with Jingzhou’s Flood Control Command based on our approximate arrival time."

"Coordinate what?" Yao Lirong asked, puzzled.

"We are here to rescue, not for tourism. Waste is a crime, transferring so much engineering machinery over a thousand miles cannot be left idle, these precious resources for flood fighting and rescue cannot be wasted, even an idle minute is a huge crime, please have Master Xi arrange rescue tasks based on our estimated arrival time."

Fearing that Master Yao might not hear clearly, Han Yu thought again and emphasized: "After leaving the highway, we don’t enter the urban area, directly head to the most critical dangerous project sections. Considering we are unfamiliar with the place, if conditions permit, please have Master Xi inquire with Jingzhou’s Flood Control Command whether they can arrange a guide for us."

Yao Lirong promptly replied: "Okay, I’ll share that with Master Xi once we get off."

"Additionally, President Hao and his team will arrive ahead of us, they are equally unfamiliar with the place, see if you can meet them."

"I don’t need to meet them, just now Jingzhou Port Supervision Bureau called me, asking if we needed assistance in any areas, they will arrange designated personnel to assist us."

"It should be Director Huang who contacted them, so, you give President Hao a call, let him know Jingzhou Port Supervision Bureau’s contact information, and let him directly liaise with them."

"Got it."

Linghai dialect is only similar to Shuzhou dialect, but there is still a significant difference in accents.

Master Xu has worked at the Yangtze River Water Bureau located in Shuzhou for nearly eight years, able to roughly understand some Shuzhou dialect, but completely cannot understand Linghai dialect.

If Master Xu cannot understand, forget about the 132 regiment’s Master Dai.

Master Dai thought that he would play the role of "supervisor" next, if these "guerrillas" from Jiangnan all spoke their hometown’s dialect, how could he supervise and manage them then?

Yao Lirong didn’t know what he was thinking, and seeing him in deep thought, quickly started a conversation in Mandarin. Liu Wei and Xiao Chen admired Master Dai’s Captain rank, thinking that the rank of active officers indeed looked better than reserve officers.

...

Meanwhile, a convoy transferring personnel, engineering machinery, and flood prevention materials slowly drove into a large open space on the roadside under the guidance of a "three-wheel" vehicle, with a restaurant on the west side of the space.

Zhang Erxiao did an impeccable job with the logistical support work.

He set off with Vice Minister Li from the Armed Forces Department and President Hao from the Road and Bridge Company but got distanced from the two cars in front on Xiajianghe Highway.

Immediately upon exiting the highway, he showed credentials to the traffic police and highway toll staff, identifying himself and the ongoing mission, and asked if there was a nearby place that was inexpensive and could provide breakfast for over a hundred people simultaneously.

They were very helpful, even taking him there with great enthusiasm.

He negotiated the breakfast standards with the restaurant owner, paid a deposit, called the logistical support personnel in the main force to share the restaurant owner’s contact info, and asked the owner to find a vehicle to pick them up at the highway entrance, enabling the main force to have hot breakfast upon exiting Hefei on the highway.

Lunch was arranged similarly.

He was so focused on arranging for the main force that he neglected to eat himself, set off first thing in the morning after arrangements, rushing ahead to arrange lunch and dinner for the main force.

The bus and large truck drivers parked under the commands of the Military District inspectors and Changhang Bureau police officers.

The No. 2 vehicle where Han Yu was seated only led at the exit of the camp area, after which it was responsible for "mobility," moving fast or slow, constantly watching whether the engineering machinery and flood prevention materials loaded onto the trucks were loose.

The drivers and safety officers worked hard, once parked, they couldn’t just go have a meal but had to check the vehicle conditions and load stability promptly.

As the Camp Commander, Han Yu needed to set an example. While checking together, two unfamiliar faces unexpectedly appeared from the No. 5 vehicle.

The No. 5 vehicle belonged to the publicity crew, managed by Old Ge.

Han Yu looked up and shouted: "Director Ge, Director Ge, come over here."

"Salted Fish, what’s up."
