Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 907 - 609: How Is This a Reserve Camp?

The navigational conditions and economic development in Jingzhou mean that not many ocean-going vessels are seen in a year, and those that are seen are small ones of two to three thousand tons.

Not to exaggerate, but although the Jingzhou Port Supervision Bureau is a standard department-level unit, its business volume and the amount of fines it can issue may very well not surpass the Linghai Port Supervision Department at full department level, run by the "Boss Lady".

Thinking that they had administrative grade but not much money, Yao Lirong hesitated for a moment and said, "Director Yang, I don't know if Director Huang has told you, the vehicles for transporting personnel and equipment are borrowed from Binjiang Port Authority and several districts and counties of Binjiang. Most of these vehicles are imported, especially large buses and flatbed trucks, each worth millions.

They are helping us transport personnel and materials purely out of mutual aid. They don't charge us for the transportation, and we can't occupy their vehicles for too long, affecting their production operations. In other words, after delivering personnel and equipment to the designated area, the convoy must return."

Director Yang said without thinking, "We can escort them back, at least to the highway entrance."

"It's not about escorting."

"Then what is it about?"

"The fastest the logistics support convoy can arrive is in six days, which means the personnel and equipment on shore can only carry out emergency rescue work in one location for the next six days. If we want mobility, want to execute emergency rescue missions elsewhere, we need a sizable convoy for transportation."

Yao Lirong took a cigarette from Director Wang and added, "Actually, personnel is easy to manage; we just need to find several more buses. Equipment is the main issue; we need at least six flatbed trucks that can carry thirty tons of cargo."

Jingzhou is not Hanwu; trucks over ten tons are hard to find, let alone six large flatbeds!

Director Yang, being from Jingzhou, knows the local situation well and, with furrowed brows, asked, "Master Yao, even if we can find six flatbed trucks, given the current road conditions, it's difficult to achieve mobility and change locations quickly. Director Huang said you are mainly relying on water mobility; can we think of a solution using water transit?"

"In fact, water mobility has been considered by Secretary Han."

Yao Lirong flipped through his notebook again and said, "We've been here for over a month, assisting with surveying the water conditions on the river every day, and we are quite familiar with the piers along the line. If we want to use water mobility, we must requisition the two best and largest car ferries in Jingzhou.

We need the most experienced captains and crews for water-related work; at least four tugboats over two hundred horsepower, law enforcement vessels for water patrol and protection, professional dock workers to collaborate on shore, and the necessary materials to build temporary docks."

The construction machinery from the Linghai Reserve Camp is worth tens of millions; using small ferries to transport it would definitely raise concerns. If the ferry capsizes and the equipment sinks to the riverbed, who would compensate?

The tugboats are mainly effective when the ferry docks, as dropping several anchors makes it difficult to keep the ferry stable. If the ship isn't stable, how do you drive excavators and loaders onto land?

In Jingzhou, you definitely can't find high-powered tugboats; when the power isn't sufficient, you can only compensate with numbers.

Experienced captains and crews are also considered for safety reasons.

As for needing dock workers to collaborate and materials for building temporary docks, that's because car ferries can't dock just anywhere, and you can't just lay down a few ramps and drive excavators onto land...

Although troublesome, compared to finding six large flatbed trucks, it's somewhat easier. At least for the Changhang System, finding ships is not very difficult.

More importantly, there are not many routes leading to the river dike that are passable.

To allow the Linghai Reserve Camp, jointly built by the Changhang System and the Linghai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, to serve its purpose, and to allow them to transition to various dangerous and critical segments, water transport must be utilized for mobility and transition!

Director Yang weighed the situation and resolutely said, "We'll find car ferries and tugboats, and our logistics support team will also handle the materials for building temporary docks."

"I need to call Secretary Han immediately to report, and we may need to arrange for a colleague to fly over with Director Huang, and by then we'll have our personnel responsible for water command."

"No problem."

"Additionally, logistical supplies; for the next six days, our engineering vehicles need refueling, our people need to drink clean and hygienic water, eat hot meals, and have as comfortable a resting environment as possible. Director Yang, it's not that our people are being picky, but they are all professional technical talents.

Anyone can get exhausted and worn out, but our people cannot. Because they need to operate the most advanced and efficient equipment, one of our people can match a hundred of theirs, no exaggeration!"

"I understand."

As soon as Director Yang finished speaking, Director Wang of the Jingzhou Port Supervision Bureau raised his head and said, "Director Yang, Master Yao, leave the logistical supplies to our Port Supervision Bureau."

...

The deputy department-level leaders of the Changhang Bureau and four standard department-level leaders from the Changhang System in Jingzhou personally came to welcome; Master Yao is not just a technical officer for a reserve camp, is he?

Even more shocking, he assigned tasks to the department-level leaders of the Changhang System, and the department-level leaders coordinated very well.

Master Dai was stunned, feeling everything was so unreal.

He wanted to quickly call and report to the commander but had no phone, considered borrowing the phone from the hydrology station but couldn't bring himself to ask. From standing at the door, he could hear the hydrology station's hotline constantly ringing, all calls from superior units asking about the water levels at Shashi.

Master Yao watched Director Yang and others rush back to prepare, then headed to the hydrology station dining hall for lunch with Master Xu's invitation.

The hydrology station belongs to the Yangtze River Committee System, and over the past month, 001 has been replenishing along the line at various hydrology stations, making eating at the hydrology station quite normal.
