Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 924 - 619: The Party Commands the Gun!

Director Ge is getting older, his energy and stamina aren't what they used to be.

This afternoon, after sending off the flood peak, he couldn't hold on anymore, so he went down the embankment, changed into clean clothes, and rested in the Cherokee allocated to the Linghai Reserve Camp by the Binjiang Reserve Group.

When he woke up, it was already eight in the evening, and he was awakened by Reporter Wang and other friends involved in news coverage.

News reporting values timeliness.

They had just personally gone through a thousand-mile maneuver, safeguarding the major danger at the Old Temple Gate, and recorded through camera and text the millions of military and civilians united in fighting the flood peak. Naturally, they wanted to release the news as soon as possible.

Reporter Wang and reporters from Linghai Daily both brought film fax machines and teleprinters. They only need a fixed phone capable of making long-distance calls to send photos and reports back.

There is no public phone on the embankment, so the camp needs to arrange a vehicle to take them to find a phone.

Old Ge didn't immediately agree, using the excuse of first inquiring about the road conditions to the nearest township. He asked the anxious news friends to return to the tent and wait. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Reporter Wang, not wanting to cause trouble for him, led everyone back to the tent.

Old Ge didn't go to check the road conditions but instead found Master Dai, who was busy with work.

Master Dai was indeed very busy. He and his inspection team not only had to manage the whole camp's military discipline and order but also assist the logistics support units. They even had to perform guard duties to ensure the safety of the camp's equipment and supplies.

Now, they need to assist the water supply and sanitation epidemic prevention team in providing clean drinking water for all officers and soldiers, urging exhausted soldiers to shower and change clothes, and washing the dirty clothes and hanging them outside to dry.

At the same time, they need to carry sprayers for pesticides and assist sanitation epidemic personnel in disinfecting the camp area.

During the flood, river water is very dirty; countless toilets are submerged, and countless animal carcasses may be soaked in the water, which means the floodwater contains numerous viruses and bacteria. Plus, this area suffers from schistosomiasis, so it's critical to drink clean water and maintain personal hygiene, and the camp also needs disinfection.

In fact, many people have already been infected.

For example, Xu Mingyuan and others who jumped into the river this morning to secure geotextile developed many itchy and painful red bumps due to river water allergy. They scratched until broken skin appeared, staining clothes with blood, bruised and swollen.

As for clean water, the Changhang Logistics Support Team helped solve the issue.

The Changhang Jingzhou Branch borrowed two fire trucks specially designed for water transport from the Jingzhou Armed Police Fire Brigade, bringing in ten tons of clean tap water.

The logistics support from the camp led by Zhang Erxiao then borrowed a van from the Jingzhou Port Supervision Bureau, removed the rear seats, and installed four large-capacity stainless steel electric water heaters.

The communication and power support team brought two diesel generator sets, with a container shipped from home now serving as both the power room and distribution room, eliminating concerns about the water heater running out of power.

However, connecting hoses from the fire truck sometimes results in unstable water pressure. Considering electrical safety, the inspection team must assign a "Tea Water Leader" to stay by the van to boil water...

Old Ge approached and called Master Dai, who was busy, aside and asked with a smile: "Xiao Dai, have you called your group leader to report work?"

"No."

Master Dai hesitated a bit, looking embarrassed, and said: "Director Ge, I don't have a mobile phone, and our group doesn't allow mobile phone use."

Old Ge took out a cigarette, handed him one, and asked, "Does your group leader have one?"

"Our group leader has one."

"Do you know your leader's mobile phone number?"

"Yes, I do."

Old Ge leaned forward to Master Dai's freshly lit lighter and lit his cigarette. After Master Dai lit his cigarette, Old Ge handed his mobile phone to him and said, "You have been out for almost two days now. Your leader must be very worried. Quickly call your group leader and let them know you're safe."

Master Dai felt that Director Ge was the best leader in the world; he took the phone and said, "Director Ge, making a call from Beihu using your mobile belongs to roaming, which is very costly, plus roaming fees..."

"It's for work, no problem."

"Thank you, Director Ge."

"Don't mention it, just hurry and make the call. Report the situation here to your group leader and Political Commissioner, and after you finish, I'll also report and greet your group leader and Political Commissioner."

"Alright then, shall I call?"

"Go ahead, call."

Master Dai did not dare to waste the scholarly leader's time, so he quickly dialed the number.

The call connected quickly. Once he heard the leader's familiar loud voice, he immediately reported the situation at Linghai Reserve Camp.

Captain Peng was shocked, suspiciously asking, "With so much equipment? Even large excavators and loaders?"

"Yes, they're a professional flood prevention and emergency response team, undertaking major danger control missions at the Old Temple Gate, directly ordered by the Head of the Military Region. Currently, the Yangtze Flood Control Headquarters in Jingzhou serves as an emergency rescue force, mainly responsible for controlling major dangers!"

"Head of the Military Region directly orders, so what role do we play?"

"The Head of the Military Region only gives orders upon request from local flood control departments but can't manage specific work."

"Understood, they're just affiliated with our division, and the division lets them affiliate with our group?"

"More than just affiliated, they're very enthusiastic, welcoming my arrangement by the group. Captain, perhaps you'd like Director Ge to speak with you. Director Ge is the former director of the Linghai Transportation Bureau, is a professor-level senior engineer. While Mayor Shen communicates and coordinates with local party and government leaders and Han Camp Commander directs rescue operations, both are overwhelmed, so Director Ge is responsible for the camp's daily management and logistical support."
