Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 1142 - 28: Model Reserve Camp for Flood Relief and Disaster Rescue!

The All-Army Flood Relief Commendation Conference is different from the National Flood Control Summary Conference, as it might involve secretive troop designations, so there was no live broadcast.

Han Yu not only attended the conference on behalf of the Linghai Reserve Camp but also represented the Binjiang Military District and the Binjiang Reserve Group.

As the First Political Commissioner of the Binjiang Military District, Secretary Lu was eager to know whether the superior commended the Linghai Reserve Camp, so instead of going home after work, accompanied by Vice Mayor Qin, he headed to the Military District.

They had a simple working meal at the Military District and then, along with Commander Wang, Political Commissioner Chen, and all other cadres and warriors, chatted while watching the Central Channel news in the large conference room.

"The commendation conference should have ended early, why hasn’t Salted Fish called you by now."

"I called Deputy Division Commander Tao, and he also called the delegation staff, saying no phones are allowed during the meeting. Salted Fish and the others are collectively at the People’s Hall, after the meeting they must return to the hotel collectively, maybe they’re attending group activities now."

Vice Mayor Qin had just finished speaking when Commander Wang laughed: "Secretary Lu, I called the Provincial Military District at noon, and they said Salted Fish drank too much again last night and threw up all over himself."

"He drank again last night?"

"Yes."

"Mayor Qin, didn’t you say the delegation commander prohibited him from drinking again?" Secretary Lu turned around to ask.

Good news stays indoors, while embarrassing incidents travel a thousand miles.

Now, from the Provincial Military District and Jiangnan Army Reserve Division down to the leaders of Linghai Municipal Committee and Municipal Government, the main concern wasn’t whether the superior would commend the Linghai Reserve Camp, but whether Salted Fish got drunk and made a fool of himself, what’s going on...

Vice Mayor Qin found it both funny and awkward, explaining with a wry smile: "The Nanjing Military Region delegation and the Guangzhou Military Region delegation stayed at the same hotel, and several representatives who experienced flooding together at Beihu knew Salted Fish as a fellow warrior.

During dinner, members of the Nanjing Military Region delegation helped cover for him, so Salted Fish didn’t drink. Unexpectedly, after dinner, he was called over by several representatives from the Guangzhou Military Region for a chat. Upon entering their room, they had small cold dishes and wine prepared.

He said he couldn’t drink and wouldn’t drink, but how would those soldiers believe him? He said he got drunk and made a scene the night before, and they asked why he could drink with comrades from the Nanjing Military Region but not with real comrades. Just as he insisted on not drinking, their military commander surprisingly entered the room."

Secretary Lu instinctively asked, "If the commander came in, he couldn’t avoid drinking?"

"With the commander downing a drink in one go, how dare he not? And again, he’s one-shot drunk!"

"Salted Fish’s drinking capacity is really poor, how can he always be one-shot drunk?"

"He hadn’t drunk much before."

"He got drunk again; did the delegation commanders say anything?"

"The two delegations stayed at the same hotel, the Guangzhou Military Region commander laughed heartily when he found out, what could the Nanjing Military Region commander say? They could only have a cadre named Zhou Changcheng carry Salted Fish back to his dormitory and watch over him for most of the night."

"So he wasn’t energetic during the meeting today."

"Getting drunk for two consecutive days, who can handle that? I guess he might have dozed off during the conference."

"No wonder he dared not participate in the National Flood Control Summary and Commendation Conference, he was afraid of having to drink." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Let’s see how tonight goes; there’s a celebratory banquet. If he gets drunk again, it will be a real laughingstock."

"Mayor Qin, Salted Fish is a cadre you watched grow up. You and your spouse are both Salted Fish’s leaders and elders; you can’t entirely blame Salted Fish for his poor drinking capacity, you two also have some responsibility. With your Director Zhu being such a heavy drinker, why didn’t you train Salted Fish’s drinking capacity well."

"We always treat him like a child. Even now, when having meals together, he always sits with the children and female comrades. Who’d have thought he needed to entertain and drink."

"Better late than never, when he returns from the Capital, you should train him well."

Just as they were joking, the news broadcast began.

"This morning, the All-Army Flood Relief Commendation Conference was held grandly at the People’s Hall. The People’s Liberation Army soldiers, who fought against the roaring waves and returned triumphant, received the highest honor from the state and the people at the People’s Hall...

Chairman J in his speech pointed out that in this great struggle, our army fully demonstrated a high degree of political awareness, adhering resolutely to the commands of the Party and prioritizing the interests of the people above all else; fully demonstrated decisive command, rapid response, and an invincible quality...

Vice Chairman of the Military Commission read out the orders from the Central Military Commission awarding honorary titles and commendations to advanced units and individuals from the flood relief forces and read the orders from the National Council and Central Military Commission for the Armed Police Force awarding honorary titles and commendations to advanced units and individuals in flood relief efforts. Yu Yibo read out the commendation notice from the Four Headquarters of the People’s Liberation Army regarding advanced units and individuals in flood relief efforts.

Where there are difficulties, there are People’s Liberation Army soldiers; where there’s danger, there are military flags fluttering. They forged the great flood relief spirit with loyalty and responsibility, and a large number of heroic units and individuals emerged, such as the ’Flood Relief Model Brigade’, ’Flood Relief Heroic Camp’, and ’New Era Heroic Warrior’ Li Xiangqun..."

Secretary Lu was searching for Salted Fish in the television footage when a warrior suddenly exclaimed: "Commander, I see Secretary Han!"

"Where?"

"The one who just went up to receive the banner, the footage flashed past."

"Really Salted Fish? Did you truly see him?"

"I truly saw him, it’s really Secretary Han!"

Just as the Guard Company warrior who had been to Beihu finished speaking, Political Commissioner Jiao from the Reserve Regiment also laughed: "Secretary Lu, my fellow leaders, I saw him too, Salted Fish truly went up to receive the commendation just now."
