At 8:47, Chief Pei boarded Linggang Tuo 001 via a transport boat.
A total of three people ca, none wearing Ard Police uniforms.
Han Yu invited them into a dining room on the first floor that also served as a small eting room. He first introduced their identities, and then introduced the five officials who ca from Binjiang Customs, Binjiang Border Control Station, and the Changhang Binjiang Police Station.
"Director Han, no need to introduce Instructor Zhang; we are old friends with him."
"You know each other?"
"Not only do we often interact with Instructor Zhang, but we've also attended a few etings together."
"Hello Chief Pei, hello Director Sun." Instructor Zhang Ping of the Linghai Police Station of the Changhang Binjiang Branch was as delighted as seeing an old friend, quickly saluting and greeting them.
Han Yu suddenly rembered that Zhang Ping had been temporarily stationed at the Liuhe Port Police Station of the Changhang Guzhou Branch, living as neighbors with the Coast Guard for so ti.
It's worth ntioning that Liuhe has a border police station, which is different from the border police stations in the coastal districts and counties of Binjiang. It does not fall under the Border Guard Branch Corps of the City Bureau but is under the Coast Guard Brigade. Director Sun, who ca with Chief Pei, is the station chief of the Liuhe Border Police Station.
An inland river port actually has a police station from the Changhang police system, a border police station from the Coast Guard, and the Liuhe Police Station of the Dacang City Police Bureau, adding up to three stations!
Han Yu was contemplating whether there might be too many stations when Chief Pei glanced at the two lieutenants from the Binjiang Border Inspection Station and, looking back, laughingly asked, "Salted Fish, isn't there a battalion-level cadre at the Binjiang Border Inspection Station who almost completed his retirent process? But because he achieved ritorious service with you during the anti-flood efforts at Beihu, the superior refused his retirent and directly sent him to Tianjin for training?"
"How did you know that?"
"I just reported to the headquarters by phone, and the headquarters leadership told ."
"If you knew, why did you ask?"
"Congratulations."
"It's a pity Li Jun isn't here, otherwise you could congratulate him in person."
"We not only want to congratulate him but also want to congratulate you. Not only are you a second-level model, but also a national anti-flood model, and you managed to turn a reserve camp into a national flood control advanced group! The leadership at headquarters praised you over the phone, talking about you as if bragging about soone else's child, asking us to learn from you."
The Chief of Staff Cao of the Coast Guard Brigade, who joined them on the ship, smiled and added, "Director Han, the superior has agreed that we can participate in your operations, requiring us to organize officers and soldiers to visit your camp after the operation."
"Is it necessary to be so exaggerated and make a fuss about learning?"
"Yes, we should learn from you, with an open mind and diligence."
Being old friends, saying these things felt sowhat awkward.
Han Yu hurriedly shifted to business: "Chief Pei, Chief of Staff, since the headquarters agreed that you could join our operation, I won't stand on ceremony. I would like to ask if you could help us secure the pocket formation."
Chief Pei smilingly asked, "What about you?"
Han Yu pointed to the waterway map spread on the table and explained, "Our water checkpoints are here, here, and here. Water inspections are different from land inspections; they can't rush. Although the superior only requires random checks, since we rarely carry out such operations, the more we can inspect, the better.
The inspections have just begun, and the anchorages near the checkpoints are not too crowded yet. In a few hours, they will definitely beco very crowded. The river ships are manageable; what I'm concerned about are the ocean-going liners. If anchored too densely, it could easily lead to accidents when entering the anchorage.
We ask people to go to the anchorage for inspection; we can't expect them to pay for tugs and pilots, and the only tug we have is this Linggang Tuo 001, so I would like to trouble you to secure the formation while I quickly go back to oversee the large vessels' entry and exit from the anchorage."
"Almost forgot, you are also a pilot."
"Chief Pei, I'll leave Instructor Zhang and our customs colleagues here to coordinate with you, while I and the border inspection colleagues head back first, how's that?"
"Leaving already?"
"Mm."
"I wanted to invite you for a al."
"Next ti, next ti... Next ti, I'll let the leaders of the Anti-Smuggling Office of Binjiang City treat you."
"I thought you were going to treat us."
"Stop teasing , is it that amusing? I owe the bank a huge debt, as you know."
"Just kidding, it's settled then; you hurry back and, for , send regards to your departntal head."
"Sure."
...
Previously, we didn't know that Chief Pei was at the base, and even knowing wouldn't guarantee that the superior would agree to let them join the operation, so we brought over the Da 001 to set the 'pocket formation'.
Now that we have a team assisting in securing the formation, Han Yu was uneasy about Senior Sister's side and couldn't afford any delay. As soon as Zhang Ping and the two customs officers boarded the transport boat borrowed from who knows which unit by Chief Pei, they requested Captain Huang to weigh anchor for return.
At 11:28, Da 001 arrived at the inspection waters of the Linghai Sub Battlefield.
The superior required a 'light-on inspection'; six law enforcent vessels traversing the river were all flashing their police lights.
However, the river's width was so vast that from Jiangbei, the South Bank wasn't visible, making it difficult to create the tense atmosphere akin to peers conducting inspections at ferry ports or security checkpoints onshore.
"Linggang Tuo 001 calling Supervision 48, Linggang Tuo 001 calling Supervision 48!"
"48 received, Da 001, go ahead!"
"Our vessel has safely returned to the ocean liner anchorage. If assistance is needed in facilitating ocean liners' entry and exit from the anchorage, please issue the order."
"Great, please stand by and prepare to assist."
"Received."
Just as Captain Huang was calling Han Xiangning, Han Yu had taken a transport boat to the Jianghai River Harbor.
Several berths in the harbor belong to the Port Supervision Bureau, specifically for temporarily holding anchored ships.
The engine-propelled ships detained by Chen Zikun and the others in the morning were temporarily held here, docked at the left-side No. 3 berth, with Deputy Director Zhao Hongxing of the Water Police Division, officer Xu Yang, and two customs officers overseeing dock workers operating cranes to unload goods from the ship's hold onto land.
