Riverside police

The Yangtze River is rippling with smoke, like a golden-scaled python, rolling, roaring, and rushing away. Ships passed by on the river, leaving behind rolling waves.

Dump trucks came from afar, dumping loads of dirt on the river beach. The loader drove over and bulldozed it, and the road roller pulled back and rolled it while puffing black smoke...

Construction is in full swing on the shore, and it is equally busy on the water.

A dozen workers on two construction boats are busy building pontoons into deep water.

This will become the water base and floating dock used by Binjiang Maritime Safety Bureau, Changhang Navigation Branch and Binjiang Water Public Security Bureau to escort the construction of the Yangtze River Bridge.

The three-story barge owned by the Linghai Development Zone Management Committee, which played a huge role in the construction of Linghai Port and even went to Beihu to fight floods, was requisitioned by the "Big Bridge Office" two months ago. The overhaul has been completed and will be moved here soon.

Construction work is also being carried out on the riverside four kilometers upstream, and trestles are being built.

The "First Outpost on the Yangtze River" that just completed its overhaul yesterday will be moved to the upper reaches, and together with the old antique-modified large barge, it will "sandwich" the planned bridge construction area in the middle.

When the project officially breaks ground, coast patrol boats and public security law enforcement boats will escort the upstream and downstream construction waters. Maritime law enforcement officers and public security officers will be stationed at the forefront of the storm for a long time, striving to ensure that construction and shipping are "correct" to ensure that project construction and "Two safety" for water navigation.

The superiors had planned to put Han Xiangning in charge of the maritime security work. Since Han Xiangning was not suitable to continue working in Changzhou, the superiors decided to temporarily put Wu Haili, director of the Traffic Management Center of Binjiang Maritime Administration, in charge.

Han Yu is still fully responsible for the safety and security and assistance with maritime law enforcement during the construction of the bridge.

Wu Haili looked around and asked curiously: "Bureau Han, when will the construction of the bridge start?"

"I don't know, but I guess there is no chance this year."

“Since there’s no chance this year, why is the city so anxious to let us come?”

"In the words of Secretary Chen, the people of Binjiang have been waiting for the bridge for decades. When the project was first approved, there was publicity every day, overwhelming publicity, and the people of the city were watching. If there is no movement, how can we explain to the people of the city?"

Wu Haili asked dumbfounded: "The bridge won't start construction for a while. Why don't you help us build a water base with great fanfare first, make some noise and give the masses some hope?"

Han Yu observed while holding a telescope and explained: "It's almost the same. At least the masses should feel that the construction of the Yangtze River Bridge is progressing in an orderly manner. These preliminary work must be done sooner or later. It is better to do it early than to do it late. Doing it early can inspire the people of the city." The morale will also show to superiors how much we Binjiang people are looking forward to the Yangtze River Bridge."

"But to move the two barges over, we need to arrange for personnel to be on duty!"

"It is better to be prepared for everything than not to be prepared. The construction of the Yangtze River Bridge is a national key project. It is not easy to achieve the "two correctness" of construction and navigation required by superiors and the "two safety" of project construction and water navigation. Let's arrange it early. The personnel come here to familiarize themselves with the waterway and water flow, simulate emergencies that may be encountered during construction, formulate a few more emergency plans, and preferably conduct several emergency response drills, so that there will be no panic when the bridge project starts."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Why do you listen to me? You are responsible for water traffic safety. I am responsible for water security and assisting you in water law enforcement. Everything is up to you."

"That's not what the superiors told me. At the meeting the day before yesterday, Secretary Chen of the Tang Bureau and City W made it very clear that you are the commander-in-chief who will protect the construction of the bridge!"

Han Yu smiled and asked, "Did Tang Bureau and Secretary Chen really say that?"

"What are you trying to do? If you don't believe me, call and ask Director Xu."

Wu Haili smiled and continued: "Tang Bureau also said that the leaders and experts of the State Maritime Safety Administration will come to investigate the maritime bureaus, maritime affairs offices and ports along the southern section of the Yangtze River in a few days. Our Jiangnan Maritime Safety Bureau's Director Fu and Liu Guild will be responsible for the entire process." Accompany and participate in the whole process.”

"Research on what?"

"Investigating the feasibility of building a 'water expressway' and a 'water service area', the Tang Bureau said that building a 'water expressway' and the construction of a 'water service area' was your first suggestion. The superiors attach great importance to it and will definitely ask for it when the time comes. You attend the symposium.”

"Actually, the Jiangnan Maritime Safety Administration is trying to figure out how to do these things. I just helped summarize them and made suggestions to the superiors."

"Some tasks are difficult to accomplish with the Jiangnan Maritime Safety Administration alone. Firstly, there is not so much funding, and secondly, many waters are occupied by local governments. It is not easy to make unified planning. You are a representative of the National People's Congress, and it will be different if you help to speak out. , as long as it attracts the attention of superiors, many tasks that could not be advanced before will no longer face resistance."

Although there is no such thing as a National People's Congress representative who does not act in his/her position, Han Yu did not want his old friend to misunderstand that he was always interfering in the work of the Maritime Safety Administration, so he simply changed the topic: "Old Wu, is Jiangnan Maritime Safety Bureau going to Equip a maritime patrol vessel?”

"There is such a thing, and we plan to take it over, park it in Binjiang like the fishery administration ship of the provincial fishery administration, and hand it over to our Binjiang Maritime Safety Bureau for custody."

"How big is that coast patrol boat?"

"The five-hundred-ton class is neither too big nor too small. On the 7th of last month, Director Xu asked me to go to the Jiangnan Shipyard to have a look. It is being outfitted and it is estimated that it will be ready for sea trial soon. Once the sea trial is completed, it will be Can deliver.”

As Wu Haili walked forward with Han Yu, he said with a bit of envy: "At the same time, there is also a large coast patrol ship being outfitted, with a total length of 93.23 meters, a width of 12.2 meters, a depth of 5.4 meters, and a displacement of 1,500 tons. Driven by two medium-speed diesel engines, with twin propellers and twin rudders, the speed can reach 22 knots, the maximum endurance is 4,000 nautical miles when fully loaded, and the design staff is 45 people!"

The official ship with a total length of nearly 100 meters is larger than the 825 boats of China Customs.

Han Yu immediately became interested and asked with a smile: "Which unit was that large coast patrol ship built for?"

"Of course it must be equipped to the East China Sea Maritime Safety Administration." Wu Haili sighed and said with great disappointment: "Although we have a 206-kilometer-long jurisdictional sea area, if Director Fu hadn't fought hard for it, the superiors wouldn't even have the 500-ton coast guard ship. It will be given to us.”

"Which unit was it originally built for?"

"Yungang Maritime Safety Bureau."

The maritime system establishes management agencies in accordance with the principle of "one port, one supervision, one water, one supervision".

Yungang is the only deep-water seaport in Jiangnan Province, so it is natural to set up a maritime surveillance bureau. The former Yungang Maritime Supervision Bureau and now the Yungang Maritime Safety Bureau are directly affiliated with the State Maritime Safety Administration like the Jiangnan Maritime Safety Bureau, and its status in the transportation system far exceeds that of the Binjiang Maritime Safety Bureau.

Moreover, the Yungang Maritime Safety Bureau not only manages the maritime traffic safety in Yungang waters, but also the Yanhai waters.

Since the economic development of Yungang and Yanhai is not as good as that of Binjiang, the institutional reform of water traffic management is relatively lagging behind. To this day, the two prefectures and cities still do not have local maritime bureaus. Therefore, even Guanhe and other inland rivers are under the jurisdiction of Yungang Maritime Bureau. .

There are two "mountains" in the same province, which is not conducive to management.

Han Yu remembered a rumor and asked in a low voice: "I heard that the superiors are going to put Yungang Maritime Safety Bureau under the management of Jiangnan Maritime Safety Bureau. Is this true?"

"Some people also say that our Jiangnan Maritime Safety Bureau will accept the leadership of the Yangtze River Maritime Safety Bureau as before. They say anything. Who knows whether it is true or false."

"I think it is unlikely that the Jiangnan Maritime Safety Administration will accept the leadership of the Yangtze River Maritime Safety Administration. After all, the Jiangnan Maritime Safety Administration not only manages the southern section of the Yangtze River, but now has to manage both the river and the sea."

"Don't worry about that, Director Han. When the Xinhai patrol ship completes its sea trial, will you go with us to the East China Sea to receive it?"

"It depends on the situation. If I have time, I will go with you to broaden my horizons."

Wu Haili knew very well that his role in escorting the construction of the bridge was only temporary, or even just in name. After all, he didn't know when the construction of the bridge would start.

He stopped and said with a smile: "Bureau Han, the bureau arranged for me to come over to escort the construction of the bridge. It not only wanted me to make room for others, but also wanted me to help Han bureau occupy a seat. Bureau Xu and Bureau Zhu came to talk to me. , asked me what I thought, and to put it bluntly, they asked me to put forward conditions.

It's already pretty good for someone like me to be promoted to deputy director. How could I possibly impose conditions on the organization? But when the leader opens his mouth, it would be bad if he doesn’t mention something. I told the leader that I was originally a sailor. When Jiangnan Shipyard delivers the coast patrol ship to Jiangnan Maritime Safety Bureau, could you help me fight with the bureau leaders to let me be the captain? "

"The work intensity of the traffic control center is so high, day and night, and the responsibility is also huge. Bureau Xu and Bureau Zhu asked you to escort the construction of the bridge. They are taking care of you. After all, you can't compare with young people."

"I know."

"It's okay to be a captain. When I take a back seat in the future, I will also apply to the organization to go back and sail a ship."

"Director Han, so you support me as captain?"

"Of course I support it. Not only do I support it, but I also envy it. Although the boat is a bit small, it is a sea-going ship. It is a public ship that can go to sea to train law enforcement."

"If you have a chance, help me put in a good word with Director Fu and Director Tang."

"I'm not familiar with Director Fu, and besides, no one will compete with you for this position. Maritime patrol law enforcement is hard work in all weathers, and it's also dangerous. Only those of us who are sailors are interested, and others won't I’m robbing you.”

"Think about it, at least no one in our Binjiang Maritime Safety Bureau wants to be the captain except me."

Just as he was talking, the call from Ding Shuguang, director of the Political Department, came over the intercom.

"Han Bureau Han Bureau, can you receive it?"

"Received, received, Director Ding, please speak!"

"There is an urgent notice from Hanwu, asking you and Bureau Qi to go to the Donghai Branch for a meeting."

"What kind of meeting are you going to have? All you have to do is go. What should I do?"

Ding Shuguang looked at the notification document, holding the walkie-talkie tightly and explained: "The APEC meeting will be held in the East China Sea. Security during the meeting is very important. The Ministry of Public Security and the Public Security Bureau of the Ministry of Transport require our Changhang Public Security Bureau to go all out to guard the Enter the waterways of the East China Sea to ensure the smooth convening of the APEC meeting!”

"What kind of meeting is APEC?" Han Yu asked subconsciously.

"APEC is the highest-level and most influential regional economic cooperation organization in the Asia-Pacific region. Judging from the notification documents, it is similar to the WTO. Anyway, leaders from several countries will come by then. Anyway, the standards are very high, otherwise the superiors would not Inform the main persons in charge of each branch to go to Donghai for a meeting."

Director Ding paused and emphasized: "Our branch and the Guzhou branch are closest to the East China Sea. Our tasks are very heavy. The Qi Bureau said that the Guzhou branch will deploy police forces to support the East China Sea branch. We have many law enforcement vessels. When the time comes, Not only will people be sent, but a ship will probably be sent as well, and you will be asked to lead the team when the time comes."

Donghai is an international metropolis with plenty of money.

As long as you have money, you can't do anything.

Han Yu is accustomed to guarding his one-third of an acre of land, and couldn't help but say: "But now I want to escort the construction of the bridge. If I go to the East China Sea to support others in security, can the city leaders agree?"

"The construction of the bridge will not start until the Year of the Monkey. Besides, the APEC meeting can be held in our country. It is similar in nature to hosting the Asian Games back then and bidding to host the Olympic Games this year. It is something that people across the country should be happy about. If the city leaders know that you want to lead the team If you go to support the Donghai Branch, you will definitely support it!”
