Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 940 - 628: No Team to Learn From (3)
No one understands the situation of the Linghai Reserve Camp better than Master Xi.
There are twenty-eight engineers in the entire camp, which is no exaggeration, but only six or seven are related to flood control and rescue, primarily coming from the Road and Bridge Company, the Water Resources Bureau, and the Waterway Engineering Bureau.
The rest of the engineers are from a wide range of specialized fields.
For instance, Han Yu is a fire safety engineer.
Additionally, in the communications and power support squad, some are communications engineers, others are power engineers, and there are even more engineers involved in ship construction.
Vice President was puzzled and remarked, "Comrade Shen Fan, for flood control and rescue, you need teams like yours, equipped with both gear and professionals."
"Report, Commander, we have just been formed and currently can't find another team to learn from, so we can only feel our way forward. This time coming to Beihu for rescue operations is an opportunity for us to practice in real combat, and we will summarize our shortcomings during the rescue to strive for improvement." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
"You have already done well, and I believe you can protect the critical situation in the Yang Liu Village section!"
"Thank you for the encouragement, Commander."
What do you mean you can't find a team to learn from?
You already have so much mechanized equipment and so many experts and engineers; you even have meteorological experts. With the strong logistical support from the Changhang System and the Yangtze River Committee, you can't find a second team like this in the country.
Deputy Governor Zhou was quite envious of the young deputy mayor Shen Fan from a county-level city, but he could only feel envy because his own economic development wasn't as good and he didn't have as much funding to purchase large construction equipment and hire senior experts.
One leader, who had come with Vice President to guide flood control and rescue, curiously asked, "Comrade Shen Fan, how many such teams do you have in Linghai?"
"Report, Commander, just this one. In fact, not only in Linghai, but you probably can't find a second team in the whole of Binjiang."
"What about the entire province?"
"It's probably difficult as well."
Deputy Mayor Shen paused and added, "Actually, we are a mobile water-based rescue camp, with the advance squad currently executing the rescue mission. A large number of engineering and support ships for water-based rescue operations are on their way to Jingzhou. When our water-based rescue team arrives, our combat effectiveness will multiply geometrically."
"You have water-based equipment?"
"Yes, we have requisitioned floating crane ships, ferry boats, integrated supply ships, water factory ships, kitchen ships, and two water living ships modified from Dunship. We also have a crew of water transport ships and a law enforcement ship team on guard duty during navigation and water rescue missions. We even dragged along a floating gas station."
Vice President was taken aback and turned to ask, "Comrade Shen Fan, does your province and city know you're here to support?"
"The Provincial Military District knows, and the Binjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government also know."
"What about the Provincial Committee and Provincial Government?"
"I don't know if the provincial leaders know about it."
"Do your provincial leaders know that you have so much equipment?"
"Probably not, because this is the first large-scale muster since our camp was formed. Previously, when the Jiangnan Army Reserve Division Commander came to inspect Linghai, they only saw our entire reserve soldiers, not our equipment."
"Why not let the superiors see it?"
"Commander, we want to let the superiors see it, to reassure them, but our equipment comes from dozens of units. Let alone the significant economic loss caused by a muster, the fuel expenses alone for one gathering would cost tens of thousands."
Vice President was silent for a moment, then turned to say, "Friend Jiankang, it's fortunate that the Jiangnan Provincial Committee and Government don't know they have this emergency rescue team. If they had known earlier, it would probably not have been transferred."
Linghai is located at the tail of the Yangtze River, with well-constructed levees, so there's no need to worry about flooding.
Jiangcheng, capital of Jiangnan Province, is different. The urban area, like Hanwu, spans both sides of the Yangtze River, and the river surface is far less wide than the Linghai Waters. The second flood peak is approaching Jiangcheng. Although the Yangtze River levees have been comprehensively renovated before, the flood prevention pressure in Jiangcheng is still significant.
They can't even take care of themselves, so how could they allow such a professional flood control force to support Beihu?
Deputy Governor Zhou suddenly realized and couldn't help but exclaim, "Indeed, it seems we've scored a big win!"
Vice President pointed at Master Xi and said meaningfully, "So you must thank Master Xi, thank the Changhang Bureau, and thank the Yangtze Flood Control Headquarters."
