Return to Bailong Port and continue repairing the ship.

The "old antique" ship is too old and has a rusty hull. It is not cost-effective to dock and overhaul it. It would be a pity to tow it for dismantling and sell it as scrap steel, so the only option is to repair it.

If the maintenance of barges and 001 is a technical job, then the maintenance of "old antiques" is completely manual work.

First of all, the rocks used for ballast under the deck must be hoisted one by one. But the river is not as good as the shore. Where will the more than 2,000 tons of rocks be piled after they are hoisted up?

For this reason, Han Yu specially drove 001 to Binqi River in the north of Linghai City. He first contacted Deputy Director Li of the Linghai Public Security Bureau in charge of fire protection and Zheng Da of the Linghai Fire Brigade to conduct an on-site inspection using 001. Possibility of assisting with fire fighting on the water.

Then we borrowed four 500-ton iron barges from the Linghai Shipping Company and towed them along the Binqi River with better navigation conditions to Yingchuang Port. From the Yingchuang Port lock, we entered the Yangtze River and made a long circle back to Bailong Port.

The lock chamber of Bailonggang Ship Lock is too small for a 500-ton barge to pass through, so it has to take a detour.

The barge for stacking the stones was borrowed, and then I went to Boss Zhang's shipyard to borrow thick and strong steel brackets, which were supported across the "old antique" in the river. Pulleys, winches, wire ropes and hooks were installed. It took three full days to prepare everything. The work is ready.

First dismantle the deck of the "old antique", and then hoist the strips of stone onto the barge.

There are particularities to where to start dismantling and where to start lifting stones.

Not only is the space limited, but the balance of the "old antique" on the water must also be taken into consideration. Otherwise, the "old antique" will be top-heavy, or the port side will be heavier and the starboard side will be lighter. Once that happens, it will easily cause a capsizing accident.

To transfer and hoist more than 2,000 tons of rocks, it is definitely not possible to rely solely on the Bailonggang Water Fire Fighting Squadron.

Zhu Baogen helped go home and found four laborers for twenty-five yuan a day. They would come at seven in the morning, finish work at six in the afternoon, and take care of meals at noon.

"It's tied up, right? Master Liu, it's windy today, so bring the rope with you!"

"Master Wang, give way and get ready to hoist!"

Han Yu transformed into the commander-in-chief of water hoisting, standing in the second-floor cab of 001, commanding from a high position, using the tweeter on 001.

Zhu Baogen is responsible for tying the stones on the "old antique" and checking whether the tied knots are strong to ensure that no safety accidents occur.

Xiao Gong is responsible for opening the winch.

Zhang Ping took "interns" Liu Wenju and Guo Zhengguo from the Binjiang Fire Department to stay on the barge. While receiving the hoisted stones, they were responsible for using the cables to adjust the position of the barge and the "old antique".

Jia Yongqiang and Chen Zikun want to help, but they have to assist the Third Brigade of the Hong Kong Patrol in patrolling and enforcing the law.

It is worth mentioning that with Huang Yuanchang being seconded by his superior unit to help, only Han Xiangning, employee Lao Ge and Jin Weiguo, who has retreated to the second line, are left in the third brigade.

While everyone was busy, Han Xiangning and Jiang Ke from Bailonggang Police Station came to the barge carrying several large bags of lunch boxes and called everyone to eat.

At first Jiang Xiaojun thought it was just tinkering, but he didn't expect it to be such a big project. He climbed onto the old antique carefully, looked at Han Yu who had just stepped off 001, and asked: "Xianyu, how many more days will it take to finish it?"

"It should be completed in another month."

"It will take a month!"

Before Han Yu could speak, Han Xiangning said with a smile: "We have to hoist all the ballast stones onto the barge so that the old antique can float. Only when the old antique floats can we knock off the rust and apply anti-rust paint. Waiting for a while After the paint is dry both inside and outside, we still need to hoist the stones and install the deck."

Jiang Xiaojun thought about it and asked: "The hull can be rusted and painted, but how to do the bottom of the ship?"

Han Yu looked up at the tall bracket, then looked back at 001, and said confidently: "An old antique is just a hull. There is no equipment inside, and the hull is not very heavy. When the time comes, we will drag it to the shoal and hoist the bow first. Treat the bottom of the boat at the front, and then lift the stern after it’s done.”

"This is a big project!"

"The amount of work is not small. Although it takes a little effort now, once it is processed, it should be no problem in another three to five years."

"It might as well be repaired, but if the old antique doesn't work anymore, I won't be used to it without a water platform."

Jiang Xiaojun laughed and told him to wash his hands and eat quickly.

Han Yu knew that he would not come to the barge for no reason, so he washed his hands, climbed up to the second floor and walked into the conference room. His senior sister had already placed lunch boxes and chopsticks.

"Uncle Jiang, is something wrong?"

"He Bureau talked to me yesterday."

"What to talk about?"

Jiang Xiaojun came after dinner, and while gesturing to Han Yu and Han Xiangning to eat, he said with a smile: "Bureau He said that the superiors were not very satisfied with the crackdown work of our branch, and the branch decided to form a crackdown task force. Didn't I work in criminal investigation before? , let me go back to the branch and be the captain of the crackdown team."

Han Yu asked curiously: "What is the position of captain?"

"It's nothing, temporary."

"Temporary?"

"He Bureau is a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking. Not only does he want to carry out organizational reforms and adjust middle-level cadres, but he also wants to change the age structure of the police officers in the branch. Political Commissar Jiang and Director Li are busy looking for those of us who are over five years old these days. 10. Talking to old guys who are not highly educated."

"What to talk about?"

"As long as you have worked for thirty years, you can retire early, no matter how many years you have before the statutory retirement age. If you have worked for twenty-five years, but are not in good health or have not yet obtained a high school diploma, you can retire early. "

I have to admit that the average age of the police officers in the branch is a bit old.

Han Yu thought for a moment and asked, "What if someone doesn't want to retire or retire early?"

Jiang Xiaojun smiled and said: "Those who don't want to retreat will all be transferred to the crackdown task force."

“There seem to be quite a few people who qualify for early retirement and early retirement!”

"Nineteen."

"With so many people leaving at once, can the grassroots team be busy?"

"If the old ones don't leave, how can the new ones come in?" Jiang Xiaojun asked back, and then said: "I heard that the He Bureau requested eight graduates from the People's Police School of the Ministry of Communications and the Changhang People's Police School."

"Can eight trainee police officers stand up to nineteen?"

"At least nine of the dozen or so people I just mentioned don't work much on a daily basis."

Jiang Xiaojun was going to smoke, but when he thought that Han Xiangning was pregnant with Xiao Xianyu, he put the cigarette he had just taken out into his pocket again, and added: "Our branch does not have a police force, but the brothers' branches do. Water passenger transportation is not as good as every year. There are many police officers like Zhang Ping who need to be resettled, and they are waiting for us to clear them out."

Han Yu didn't expect He Bureau to make such a big move, so he asked in a low voice: "Uncle Jiang, will you do this as the team leader of the crackdown team?"

"I will definitely not be able to work as an instructor now. I really want to retire early. But the murder case in the Sailors Club has not been solved yet. If I retire early like this, it will be difficult to intervene, so I still can't retire after thinking about it."

"Are you still thinking about that case?"

"Although the murder did not occur in our jurisdiction, the deceased was killed on his way home from dinner at the Sailors' Club. So many leaders and friends were transferred or even dismissed because of this case. As the chief of the criminal investigation section, I must give them a Explain."

Han Yu couldn't help but think of the elders who were implicated in that case, and couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Jiang, are Bureau Chen okay?"

Thinking of the old director of the Binjiang Port Public Security Bureau, Jiang Xiaojun felt extremely apologetic. After a moment of silence, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's good. He called me last month and asked about you."

"Then who will be the instructor after you return to Binjiang?"

"have no idea."

"Where's Uncle Liu? Does Uncle Liu want to retire early?"

"He doesn't have to. Lao Zhang has decided to retire early. If Lao Liu retires again or joins me to crack down on the work team, what will happen to the work in Bailonggang? After all, you, the deputy director, are not the same as the deputy directors of the other two police stations. Just like that, you have to focus on the boat."

Considering the series of impacts that will be caused by the new director's three fires, Jiang Xiaojun said with emotion: "Wang Wenhong often jokes that we are corporate internal security. In fact, his words have some truth. As an old policeman, I think the branch must Reform means formalization.

Director Zhang actually wanted to reform before, but Director Zhang had been working in the Port Authority for so many years just like me, and he didn’t have strong support from his superiors like Director He, so he could only think about it. It was impossible for him to make such drastic changes as Director He. of put into practice.

However, with such a big move by He Bureau, it is likely that two factions will be formed within the branch, namely Changhang Shipping and Port Authority, at least ideologically. Although you have not been transferred to the branch for a long time, you are young and are highly regarded by the leaders of the Port Authority, the Port Supervision Bureau and even the Water Branch. When old guys like us retire, some people may regard you as someone like the Port Authority. A representative of one faction. "

Han Yu was stunned for a moment, then asked with a wry smile: "They are divided into two factions. Is it such an exaggeration?"

"Whether it is such an exaggeration, you will know after a while."

"Uncle Jiang, what do you mean?"

"The bureau is going to appoint Zhang Ping as the squadron leader of the Bailonggang Water Fire Fighting Squadron. I'm not saying that Zhang Ping is incompetent, or that Zhang Ping doesn't work hard, but what will others think of this arrangement!"

"People must think that Zhang Pingyuan was originally a police officer of the Changhang Airlines Public Security System. In the eyes of which department, he is one of their own, so he was promoted within a few days after being transferred?"

"It's not that I think it is. In fact, there is this factor."

Jiang Xiaojun took a deep breath and continued: "There will be more and more personnel arrangements like this in the future, as long as you have worked in the Changhang Shipping Public Security System before, or graduated from the People's Police School of the Ministry of Communications and the Yangtze Shipping People's Police School , are more likely to be promoted than police officers born and raised in Binjiang."

Han Yu knew that his elders were worried that he would get involved in unnecessary disputes, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "There is nothing wrong with that. After all, we are Changhang Shipping Police. We cannot always think that we are port police."

"I'm relieved if you think so."

"Uncle Jiang, don't you trust me yet?"

"He Bureau has taken away two of the three fire squadrons that you have managed to set up, making you, the deputy detachment leader, in name only. You can even only stay in Bailong Port. No one else will feel comfortable. I can rest assured. ?"

"As long as I don't move my ship, everything else is easy."

Han Yu chuckled, holding up his chopsticks and said proudly: "And firefighting is different from other jobs. Even if I no longer directly manage the Gaoru Port Squadron and Binjiang Port Squadron, Tang Hongxin of Gaoru and Fang Guoya of Binjiang still listen to me. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Ning Ning.”

Jiang Xiaojun turned around subconsciously.

Han Xiangning couldn't help but think of the scene when Xu Sanye was sitting in Bailong Port remotely commanding the water branch. He covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Uncle Jiang, firefighting is different from other jobs. Water firefighting is also different from firefighting on shore. People may die. .

As captains of the fire squadron, Team Tang and Team Fang must be the first to respond when a fire breaks out in their jurisdiction. They neither dare to joke about their own safety, nor the lives of corporate firefighters. They call San'er almost every day. They all listen to San'er on how to train, how to manage the team, and how to adjust equipment to local conditions. "

Jiang Xiaojun reacted and asked with a smile: "Do Ren Suo from Gaoru Port and Yin Suo from Binjiang Port know?"

"Know."

Han Yu took over the conversation and said lightly: "They are not only in charge of fire protection, but also the director of the supervision station. If something happens, the superiors will definitely hold them accountable, so not only do they not object but they are very supportive and even called me." I called several times and asked to treat me to dinner.”

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Uncle Jiang, why are you laughing?"

"I'm happy."

Jiang Xiaojun pointed at Han Yu and laughed: "It's good to sit in Bailong Port and conduct remote control. It's a bit like your master. It seems that living behind the scenes and strategizing is also the tradition of 'the first sentry on the Yangtze River'."
