Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 1123 - 19: Scholar General! (Part 2)

The National Flood Control Summary and Commendation Conference is the big news these days.

Vice Director Li from Yungang City Police Department curiously asked, "Director Zhang, do any of your officers serve in the reserves?"

"Not only do we have police officers, but we also have auxiliary police officers. And it's not just our Linghai Police Bureau; the City Bureau also has them."

Zhang Yidong smiled and said to his colleagues from Yungang, "There are two officers in the entire provincial police system who have been recognized as national anti-flood models. One is from our Linghai Police Bureau, and the other is from the City Bureau Water Division, and these two national anti-flood models were both former subordinates of Mayor Yu when he worked in Binjiang."

What does it mean when two former subordinates are both recognized as national anti-flood models? You must know there are only two in the entire provincial police system!

The members of the inspection team, including Vice Director Li, were all shocked, immediately looking toward their superior.

Yu Xiangqian was very pleased but didn't show it. He knowingly asked, "Comrade Yidong, one of the anti-flood heroes is Salted Fish, who is the other one?"

"Ma Jintao."

"It turns out to be Xiao Ma. By the way, how many officers and auxiliary police went to Beihu for flood control this time?"

"Including the Water Division and the Changhang Bureau, there were a total of twenty-seven people."

"Have any of the other comrades been commended or awarded?"

"Yes, all have been recognized. Your apprentice Chen Zikun was awarded a second-class merit by the Changhang Police Bureau, and recently was just promoted to Director; he is now the Chief of the Linghai Police Station at the Changhang Bureau. Yang Yong, the contractual police officer you recruited, was awarded a second-class merit by the Provincial Department..."

Just as Zhang Yidong finished the introduction, Director Gao smiled and added, "Everyone, former subordinate of Mayor Yu, Comrade Han Yu, has not only been recently named a national anti-flood model but is also a second-level model in the national police system!"

It's often said that a strong leader has no weak soldiers.

With such capable former subordinates, one can imagine how exceptional Mayor Yu must be.

The main leaders of the Yungang police system no longer dared to view Yu Xiangqian as a "scholar," and their gazes towards him changed significantly.

The inspection team hurried to the Linghai Reserve Camp, and since the camp was undergoing major construction, they took a quick look before heading to the Linghai Port Supervision Office.

To welcome their colleagues from Yungang, the Linghai Police Bureau, the Water Police Division, and the Linghai Armed Forces Department had arranged for people to set up early in the morning.

The large conference room on the sixth floor of the Port Supervision Office was transformed into a temporary honor room for the Linghai Reserve Camp, with the walls covered in historical photos and text introductions, but most prominently with photos commemorating the camp's formation, inspections, deployment, support of Beihu flood control, and commendations from higher authorities.

Here, let Bai Li, the director of the Women's Federation of Sanhe Street who participated in the flood control efforts, provide an introduction.

"Leaders, please look this way. Just yesterday, our Linghai City Secretary Ye W, along with the members of the expert group of our Linghai Reserve Camp including Ge Weidong, Instructor Yang Jianbo, Deputy Battalion Commander Hao Qiusheng, Camp Engineer Yao Lirong, Second Company Instructor Gu Pengfei, and Fourth Company Deputy Company Commander Zhang Wuya, attended the National Flood Control Summary and Commendation Conference at the People's Hall and personally listened to..."

The truth cannot be faked, and a fake cannot be made true.

Yesterday they were at the People's Hall, and tonight they will attend a state banquet. Such an achievement is truly impressive.

A county police chief curiously asked, "Director Gao, why didn't Mayor Yu's two former subordinates attend?"

"The anti-smuggling operation in your Yungang has been underway for a month. Our Binjiang water enforcement forces and vessels were delayed until a week ago due to supporting the Beihu flood control efforts. Comrades Han Yu and Ma Jintao are core members of our Binjiang water enforcement and couldn't attend because they were tasked with the anti-smuggling operation."

"Are they currently enforcing on the river?"

"Yes, everyone. We'll be able to see them later. Before that, please watch some footage. Don't laugh at us; I've always wanted to see the live footage of the Binjiang Soldiers' flood control and rescue but never had the chance until today, thanks to Mayor Yu."

"Director Gao, what do you mean 'thanks to me'?"

Before Director Gao could reply, Bai Li smilingly explained, "Mayor Yu, our Reserve Forces is still part of the military, and like all military entities, we must follow higher-level confidentiality and promotion protocols. The video we're about to show is internal material."

Yu Xiangqian curiously asked, "Can we watch it?"

"As long as you don't record it."

"Alright, thank you."

They drew the curtains, turned off the lights, and began playing a carefully edited flood control video from Linghai TV Station.

One would be surprised by what they saw.

The Linghai Reserve Camp's flood control and rescue operations were very different from the television news reports—fully mechanized construction and rescue, rather than relying on manual labor to carry and stack sandbags. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

However, judging from the footage, the atmosphere at the flood control and rescue site was tense.

Xu Mingyuan, Ma Jintao, and others fearlessly jumped into the river to secure the Old Temple Gate during emergencies, capturing everyone's anxious attention.

The images of the rescue at the precarious section of Yang Liu were even more intense. Han Yu, running along the cofferdam, shouted commands hoarsely, ordering all personnel and equipment to immediately transfer to the main dike as the breach was occurring ahead.

While addressing the crisis at Diao Guan Pier, the floodwater not only overflowed the sub-dam but also created several breaches, with water rushing through like waterfalls and massive seepage emerging below the bank!

All officers and soldiers of the Linghai Reserve Camp, along with active-duty PLA, Armed Police officers, and over a thousand local civilian soldiers, risked the dike collapsing at any moment as they raced against time to construct a cofferdam...

Another warrior has collapsed!
