Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 961 - 639: I’m Not Quite Sure

Although Secretary Ye repeatedly confirmed that it was Li Jun from the border inspection station, Station Chief Fang and Political Commissioner Fei were still skeptical.

Did he really go? Li Jun's family would surely know.

The Customs, Port Supervision Bureau, Water Police Station, and Changhang Bureau all have comrades serving in the reserves. It's said that when the "Salted Fish Camp" set out, neighbors like Chief Liu, Director Tang, Director Wang, and Director Qi all came to see them off. They all know Li Jun, so they should also know whether Li Jun went or not.

Station Chief Fang and Political Commissioner Fei quickly made phone calls to inquire, and to their surprise, it turned out to be true. Li Jun really went to Beihu with the Salted Fish Camp for flood relief!

"Thank you, Director Tang, it is indeed a good thing, and Li Jun is indeed the pride of our border inspection station. But we are different from you; we are an active duty unit! He hasn't been discharged yet, and he went to Beihu without informing us. If our superiors ask, how should we explain?"

Station Chief Fang was both happy and anxious. Reflecting on it, he bitterly smiled and said, "Even if he informed us, we wouldn't dare let him go. It's almost like deploying troops. Without an order from the superiors, who dares to transfer even a single soldier that far?"

Director Tang could understand his mixed feelings of worry and joy and joked, "Then keep a low profile, don't publicize or report it. If the superiors ask, just plead ignorance, anyway, he is about to be discharged, doing well at Beihu, the superiors probably won't punish him, and they won't punish you either for this incident."

"Director Tang, you've said that he's the pride of our station. Don't you think it's easy for the border inspection to achieve such feats? Such a big, momentous thing, we definitely need to publicize it, must report it!"

"I agree, but in doing so, you need to immediately figure out how to explain this to your superiors."

"The Political Commissioner and I are already worried, unauthorized troop movements are no small matter."

"I've never been in the military, so I don't quite understand military affairs. Why not call Salted Fish first to unify the narrative?"

"Seems like that's our only option for now."

"I'll hang up now; you'd better call quickly."

That kid Salted Fish actually lured Li Jun to join the flood relief and even made Li Jun famous.

Although Political Commissioner Fei was also worried that the superiors might hold the station accountable for poor management, he was more pleased, and smiled as he said, "Chief, I've thought about it, actually, this isn't too difficult to explain to the superiors."

Station Chief Fang asked, "How do we explain it to the superiors?"

"Li Jun is an active duty officer, politically reliable, with good military skills."

"What kind of explanation is that? What's the use of reporting it like that to the superiors?"

"I wasn't finished."

Political Commissioner Fei offered a cigarette and smiled, "Last year, he participated in the municipal flood control and emergency rescue skills training, which was of high caliber. Internal guards, firefighting units, and military district cadres and soldiers all participated."

Station Chief Fang lit his cigarette and asked, "So what does that mean?"

"All who have attended the training are the mainstays of Binjiang's emergency rescue efforts. As long as they have been trained and haven't been discharged, they are all currently participating in flood relief, though most are doing so in Binjiang."

Political Commissioner Fei chuckled and continued, "Li Jun went with Salted Fish to Beihu during the flood relief efforts in Jiangxin. It was the Central Military Commission that ordered the 'Salted Fish Camp' to rush to Beihu. Upon receiving the order, they had to set off immediately, and indeed they did, leaving Li Jun with no time to request instructions or report."

Station Chief Fang mused, "It still doesn't make sense, after all, Li Jun is different from the other members who attended the training. The 'Salted Fish Camp' is a reserve camp, Li Jun is active duty in the police, not an officer from the reserve regiment, others can leave on a whim, he can't!"

"In theory, he shouldn't, but special circumstances require special treatment."

"What special circumstances?"

"Didn't you mention earlier that he's politically reliable, with good military skills, and attended flood control and emergency rescue skills training? We can first coordinate with Salted Fish on the narrative, saying their camp was just formed, akin to inviting active duty military personnel to organize student military training, asking Li Jun to act as their instructor."

"Li Jun cannot be a reserve officer for the Salted Fish Camp, but he can be an instructor for the reserve officers. Hahaha, Political Commissioner, your idea is great!"

"Before the main force heads to the flood relief front line, Li Jun, as an instructor, wouldn't be at ease unless he went too. As soon as he got there, he threw himself into the fight, battling continuously for days and nights. Communication on the levee was difficult, it was only five minutes ago that he managed to make a call to report back to us."

"Not just report, he also requested punishment."

"Exactly, he must request punishment."

"Alright, it's settled. We'll split the tasks; I'll go next door to call Salted Fish and quickly align our narrative. You need to report to the headquarters..."

Before Station Chief Fang could finish speaking, the phone suddenly rang.

To his surprise, it was a call from the headquarters leadership.

He was startled, took a few deep breaths, and answered the call, "President Qi, hello, President Qi, any instructions?"

"Do you have a staff member named Li Jun at your station?"

"Yes!"

If misfortune isn't avoidable, face it when it comes.

Before his superiors could ask further, Station Chief Fang eagerly said, "President Qi, I was just about to report to you. Our comrade Li Jun from the station participated last year in the military and local flood control skill training organized by Binjiang Municipal Committee, City Government, and the Military District..."

"So, Comrade Li Jun really went to Beihu for flood relief support?"

"Yes, he really went, he's the instructor for the Linghai Reserve Camp. The soldiers he trained were heading to the flood relief front line, and he, as their instructor, wouldn't be at ease unless he went too."

"So he's an instructor. I was wondering how an active duty police officer ended up with the reserve soldiers."
