Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 939 - 628: No Teams to Learn From (Part 2)

"Yes."

"When did you arrive?"

"We set off as soon as we received the order. The shore emergency construction troops arrived here at 12:58 the night before last."

"Did you start battling as soon as you got here?"

"Yes!"

"You've been working hard."

Deputy Mayor Shen's tense little heart was pounding. He was debating whether to say "For the people" or "It's not hard work" when Vice President suddenly asked, "Comrade Shen Fan, how did you manage to build a levee within twelve hours?"

This question was easier to answer!

Deputy Mayor Shen hurriedly said, "Report, Commander, we have mechanized construction equipment, hydraulic experts, engineering experts, and experienced engineering technicians."

The Old Temple Gate was already gone, looking sturdier than the embankment beneath our feet. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Vice President was not worried. Accompanied by everyone, he boarded the supervision boat of the Jingzhou Port Supervision Bureau, gesturing towards the dangerous section of Yang Liu Village in Angong County while asking with great interest, "What construction equipment do you have?"

Commander is a geologist, and geology is somewhat similar to hydraulics; he's a real expert.

Deputy Mayor Shen dared not exaggerate, nor was it necessary. He restrained his excitement to report: "We have two imported large excavators, two imported large dump trucks, three large loaders, and a bulldozer.

We've brought our best road and bridge engineering machinery from Linghai. The first company from our camp, which is the shore emergency construction company, was actually formed by our Linghai Road and Bridge Engineering Company."

No wonder the efficiency is so high; the equipment is truly excellent.

Vice President nodded and asked further, "Comrade Shen Fan, Linghai is also on the Yangtze River, and must prepare for flood control and response. You brought the best equipment and most experienced personnel to support the emergency response here, what if an emergency occurs back home?"

"Report Commander, last year we suffered from the 'three-pronged' disaster of typhoons, tides, and heavy rain, which caused significant losses. The provincial, city, and county levels resolved to learn from the pain. From October last year, we began comprehensive renovations of the Jianghai Flood Control.

I'm not very clear about how the long embankments of our brother counties and cities along the Yangtze are being renovated, but for the Linghai section of the Yangtze embankment, one-third has been completed with reinforced concrete casting up until a month and a half ago. The remaining two-thirds have been reinforced, raised, and protected with stones."

"It seems you have confidence in your Yangtze River levee?"

"Report, Commander, my official duties are the Deputy Mayor of Linghai City and Secretary of the Linghai Development Zone Party Committee. I presided over the renovation of the long embankment in the Linghai Development Zone section of the Yangtze."

Vice President knows some about the situation in Jiangnan Province and nodded satisfactorily without asking further.

However, the leaders of Beihu Province felt uncomfortable, thinking to themselves that if they had funding, they could renovate like Linghai, but without money, there was no way...

The atmosphere suddenly became particularly heavy.

Deputy Mayor Shen was thinking whether he had said something wrong earlier when Master Xi's phone suddenly rang, and he hurried to the stern to answer.

After waiting for a while, Master Xi returned appearing somewhat panicked.

Secretary Chen of Jingzhou felt a jolt and quietly asked, "Master Xi, what's happening?"

"The situation of the piping danger at the Yang Liu Village section is escalating too quickly. It's no longer just seepage; the water is spouting outwards, and at this rate, it will soon become a gush. According to the latest shore measurement and underwater survey data, the twelve-meter dangerous embankment eroded by the flood is collapsing downward in overall lapse."

The more Master Xi thought about it, the more worried and frightened he became, and continued, "Comrade Han Yu and the expert team decided to adjust the rescue plan according to the changes in the danger..."

While building the cofferdam, organizing forces to urgently protect the cofferdam.

At the same time, letting the Navy divers, who just arrived, go down to find the leak point; if found, then try to block it.

This is racing against time with piping and collapse dangers. You can imagine the dangers faced by soldiers and civilians on and below the embankment during the rescue!

Secretary Chen dared not delay for a moment, apologized to Vice President, and took out his phone to go to the stern to call the county leaders of Angong and ordered Angong County to accelerate the evacuation of the people.

Faced with such a dangerous situation, urgency wouldn't help.

Vice President was silent for a moment and then asked quietly, "Master Xi, who is Comrade Han Yu?"

"Comrade Han Yu is Deputy Mayor Shen's subordinate, he is the Camp Commander of Linghai Reserve Camp, and he is currently the Chief Commander at the emergency response site."

"What about the expert team?"

"That is the expert team of Linghai Reserve, Commander. Actually, I am also one of the expert team members."

"Comrade Shen Fan, the expert team members of your Reserve Camp are quite high-level."

"Report, Commander, our Linghai Reserve Camp is a Flood Control and Rescue Mobile Assault Battalion established this year following the requirements of the Provincial Committee, Provincial Government, and Provincial Military District. Although most personnel are retired officers and veterans, and many have participated in previous flood-defenses, they are not professional enough as a mobile rescue force, so experts like Master Xi were hired to train and guide us."

Protecting against major dangers not only relies on equipment but also requires technical strength.

Vice President further asked, "How many experts do you have?"

"The expert team consists of five experts, with Master Xi and Master Xu from the Yangtze River Committee here, and three from Linghai. One is the old director of the Transportation Bureau, another is the deputy chief engineer and chief forecaster of the Meteorological Bureau, who is also Camp Commander Han Yu's father-in-law. Another is the retired village party Secretary; that Old Secretary has been working along the river and has rich experience in flood control and rescue."

At this time, when should achievements be reported if not now?

Deputy Mayor Shen steadied his mind and continued, "If you count the number of engineers, there are many. Including Camp Commander Han Yu, the entire camp has twenty-eight engineers."
