Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 1087 - 708: Director of Anti-Smuggling Office!_3

Han Yu listened with alarm, realizing that the old leadership was not exaggerating, and quickly changed the topic: "Director Zhou, who are the leader, deputy leader, and executive deputy director of Binjiang Anti-Smuggling Comprehensive Management Leading Group?"

"Mayor Qin also serves as the leader, Chief Liu of Binjiang Customs also serves as the deputy leader, and Deputy Director Zeng also serves as the executive deputy director of the anti-smuggling office. My main job is to organize forces to assist Customs in combating smuggling and investigating relevant criminal cases involved in smuggling."

Vice Mayor Qin has another part-time role!

But then again, as a city leader, having few part-time roles would mean not being a leader.

Han Yu pondered and asked, "Are we going to establish an anti-smuggling leadership group in Linghai as well?"

Zhou Huixin put down the document and said, "You are busy with flood relief efforts, and the entire country's attention is focused on flood control. Meanwhile, coastal provinces are engaged in a special battle against smuggling. According to the unified deployment of the superior, the largest anti-smuggling operation by sea, land, and air since the founding of the country will unfold next.

Linghai is coastal, with Fish Port by the sea. Linghai Port is situated by the river, currently building a foreign trade terminal and applying for national first-class port status, so not only Linghai needs to establish an anti-smuggling office, but San Zao Port Town and development zones also need to set up one. All coastal towns in East Guang and Jianfu face severe smuggling problems."

San Zao Port does have many fishermen, otherwise, there wouldn't be a Border Police Station over there.

Han Yu mused, "Our Linghai fishermen are different from those in Jianfu. Our Linghai fishermen are very patriotic. Most of them are coastal defense civilian soldiers, and if they see foreign warships at sea, they report immediately and actively approach to track and monitor.

If foreign warships throw sonar or other equipment into the sea, they even cast nets to retrieve them. Saying they secretly go out to sea during the fishing ban period to cast a few nets, or catch eel fry during migration, I can believe. Saying they're involved in smuggling, I don't believe."

Zhou Huixin, having been the police chief in Linghai for several years, understood the Linghai fishermen well and explained, "Smuggling has many channels, which you should understand. We need to combat not just maritime smuggling."

"I don't really understand the false price reporting for imports; I can't be the director of the anti-smuggling office."

"You don't understand, but others do. Actually, I don't understand either. Our job is to assist Customs in organizing forces to arrest, interrogate, and transfer cases."

"Is this confirmed?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"It's mostly confirmed, Secretary Ye and Mayor Qian were worrying about how to arrange for you. Mayor Qin and Chief Liu suggested you also serve as Linghai's anti-smuggling office director, shedding light on a solution for Secretary Ye and Mayor Qian."

"Worrying about arranging for me, what does that mean?"

"You've made meritorious efforts in flood rescue and are sure to be promoted! Anyone who went for flood relief is promoted upon return. But Linghai Police Bureau is too small to accommodate someone like you. Moreover, the superior is very strict about staffing now. Letting you serve simultaneously as the director of the anti-smuggling office is just right to promote you to Full Department Level."

"Promoted to Full Department Level?"

"To be precise, it's Full Department Level, not Full Department Position, as the anti-smuggling office isn't a structured unit. You are still a Development Zone Party Committee Member, Political and Legal Committee Secretary, and Military Minister, just serving concurrently as Linghai City Anti-Smuggling Office Director."

"I know the anti-smuggling office isn't a structured unit, but despite its concurrent nature, there will be related work, requiring at least two or three meetings a year. Director Zhou, I am just someone who drives ships, repairs ships, and engages in firefighting; I can't handle coordinating work."

"There will be personnel for specific tasks, Secretary Ye and Mayor Qian will surely assign you an executive deputy director. Simply put, this role as director is similar to your current roles in the Political and Legal Committee and Military Department. When the superior comes for inspections and anti-smuggling work meetings, you just need to show up."

Turns out it's as uneventful as the Development Zone Political and Legal Committee and Development Zone Military Affairs Department. Being uneventful allows concurrent roles, at least you get promoted to Full Department Level.

Han Yu was secretly pleased when Zhou Huixin suddenly remembered something: "Nearly forgot, Director Yu was transferred to Yungang, now serving as Vice Mayor and Police Chief of Yungang City."

"When was Director Yu transferred to Yungang?"

"Just a few days ago, I only learned about it yesterday, and his work transfer is related to the anti-smuggling effort."

"How is it related?"

"Yesterday morning, Huaiyin City Middle Court publicly tried former Yungang City Police Chief, Deputy Chief, and Yungang City Eastern Industrial Company manager for smuggling, embezzlement, and bribery. Eastern Industrial Company is a business operated by Yungang Police Department Criminal Police Team, mainly dealing with agricultural and sideline products and photo-printing services. Upon its establishment, it found the agricultural products business hard to run, and was driven by profit to smuggling, smuggling 70 luxury cars and evading over 20 million yuan in state taxes."

"They violated the law knowingly!"

"The jailed deputy chief was still a member of Yungang City's anti-smuggling leadership group. Customs uncovered it, but dared not release it without permission, so they had to turn a blind eye."

Zhou Huixin pulled out a notification document and continued, "Just last month, the military court of the Armed Police Force held a public sentencing conference in Ningpu City, East Guang Province. The squad leader, instructor, and deputy squad leader of the Armed Police East Guang Province General Brigade Laihui County Squadron, along with several warriors, were imprisoned.

They blatantly smuggled, detaining anti-smuggling team personnel upon capture, even firing to injure one anti-smuggling police officer. Law enforcement personnel smuggling and protective smuggling, imagine how serious the issue is!

Yesterday Mayor Qin convened a meeting with us, planning to start a special action against illegal eel fry fishing and illegal sand mining at the Yangtze River estuary after you return, meticulously examining all types of ships entering, exiting, and passing through our Binjiang, making a grand display!"

"Are we to start the special action once 001, 002, Yangtze Police 110, and Supervision 48 return?"

"Most law enforcement vessels are with you. If you don't return, how can we proceed?"

Over here is flood relief, while the other side waits for us to return to conduct anti-smuggling actions, Han Yu chuckled wryly: "Director Zhou, I also wish to return soon, but we can't go back now!"

"I know, you focus first on flood relief and rescue. The smuggling situation in Binjiang isn't as severe as East Guang, Jianfu, and South Sea Provinces; the aquatic anti-smuggling special action can be delayed a few days, and besides, the superior is aware that most of our law enforcement vessels are engaged in flood relief."
