Riverside police

001 is going out for a month, so active police officers such as Ma Jintao and Yang Yong cannot be allowed on board, otherwise their duties will be affected.

Captain Fan is old and can sail the boat during the day, but certainly not at night.

Han Yu weighed it up and finally decided to transfer Liu Wei from the Linghai Port Tug Company to board the ship with Captain Fan, Zhu Baogen and "Tandigong" Xiao Chen.

Liu Wei is an old neighbor of Linghai Shipping Company, and Han Yu wants to call him uncle based on seniority.

He is thirty-one years old and was born and raised on a ship. He has a certificate of competency for driving a fourth-class ship. He can drive a small 001 but not a large 001.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month of this year, he applied for a job as a crew member of the Shanling Harbor Tugboat Company at a job fair held by the Linghai Labor and Personnel Bureau. Now, Captain Huang of the Linghai Port tug team is his teacher. When he gets the corresponding certificate of competency in the future, he can drive the other two high-power tugs being built in Linghai Port.

The Hydrological Bureau promised to pay them one month's salary, which is equivalent to a subsidy for them.

Han Yu called and asked, and they were indeed willing.

Considering that the computer of the "water depth sounder" on 001 is the most advanced, and the underwater surveying and mapping software has been upgraded, and no one knows how to use it now, Han Yu felt that this was also an opportunity to learn, and immediately gave it to the battalion engineer and flood control technology Yao Lirong, the team leader and engineer of the Linghai Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau, called and asked if he would like to go on board a ship to learn from his master, and if he could get some leave.

Yao Gong figured out the ins and outs and immediately reported to his superiors.

The leader of the Water Conservancy Bureau was very supportive and said that this was considered a business trip and not a leave.

Gong Yao knew that the Hydrological Bureau had promised to pay the crew a month's salary. He thought that several of the "subordinates" in the technical team were village cadres. Unlike formal state cadres, village cadres were paid every month and were usually villagers. He felt that this It’s an opportunity for “subordinates” to make extra money.

With Han Yu's consent, he called and asked, and found out that there was indeed a village cadre who was willing to join the boat.

However, the "position" of the village cadre after boarding the ship was not a soldier of the Linghai Reserve Battalion Technical Detachment, but a cook of 001. After all, reserve forces are still troops, and no one can mobilize any soldiers without permission from their superiors.

After arranging everything, when they all arrived with their luggage, Han Yu personally drove Supervisor 38 to take them to the Hydrological Bureau Pier on the other side of the river.

As expected, Xi Gong and Xi Gong's deputy, Xugong, were in a hurry and had their luggage ready.

Han Yu knew that their survey task was urgent and heavy, so he didn't dare to ask too many questions. To be precise, he didn't dare to delay their work. After saying a few words, he sent them on board and set sail.

Escort all the way to the Sanhe waters and watch 001 swim upstream.

It was already 2:30 in the afternoon when we returned to the barge that had just become the Water Police and Changhang Police.

My father-in-law was waiting on the pontoon, and I knew without asking that he was in a hurry to go to his old workplace to bring back the old radar.

Han Yu tied the cable and asked, "Dad, have you eaten?"

"Eat, eat in the camp."

"Ning Ning didn't ask you to go to dinner?"

"She yelled, but I didn't go. I'm not a port superintendent. What would it be like for me to go to their unit to eat."

"I haven't eaten yet. I'm very hungry. I need to go back to the camp to eat something first."

Han Gong asked: "The Yangtze River Estuary Hydrographic Bureau doesn't take care of food?"

Han Yu called his father-in-law to come ashore and said, "I was left to eat. I was in a hurry to come back to you, so I didn't eat there."

"The radar can't be lost in our unit's warehouse, so why are you so anxious?"

"It's not because I'm in a hurry to set up the radar, I just want to ask you something."

"What's going on?" Han Gong asked, holding on to the steel pontoon.

Han Yu took a deep breath and asked, "Dad, have you heard about the possibility of a major flood this year?"

"I thought you wanted to inquire about something, but it turned out you were asking about this."

The Korean worker took off his camouflage hat and said: "Last month, didn't I go to the East China Sea to attend a seminar on the possible impact of El Niño on our country's climate? At the meeting, experts pointed out that the climate has been abnormal in the past two years, and this year the Yangtze River Rainfall in the basin is likely to be heavy, and it may even continue to rain after the season begins.

At that time, some people agreed and some did not agree. Most people agreed with this judgment. But so what if everyone agrees. Climate predictions are only slightly better than earthquake predictions. No one dares to say that their judgment is 100% accurate. In fact, such judgments have been made in previous years. "

The weather forecast always said it was going to rain heavily, but it didn't happen. This is normal.

I remember that for a while, there was a rumor that there was going to be an earthquake in Jiangnan, which made people panic, but in the end no earthquake happened.

In short, whether they are engaged in weather forecasting or earthquake forecasting, they are all units that cry "wolf is coming". If they cry out many times but the wolf does not come, others will naturally no longer believe it.

Han Yu pondered for a moment and asked, "What happened next?"

Han Gong said lightly: "Everything that happened later was reported in the news."

"What to report?"

"You don't usually watch TV?"

"I don't see much."

"You don't watch the news broadcast either?"

"Watch it sometimes."

A deputy section-level cadre actually didn't care about current affairs. Han Gong felt that he should talk to his son-in-law about the importance of caring about national affairs later.

But now we are talking about weather forecasting, and Han Gong didn’t want to go off topic, so he said fluently: “Not long after the East China Sea seminar, the National Defense Administration held its first plenary meeting of the year. First, based on the reform of the National Academy of Sciences, Adjustments were made to the National Defense Directorate and the list of members of the new National Defense Directorate was announced.

The second is to analyze this year's drought and flood trends and agree with the judgment of the water conservancy and our meteorological departments on the possibility of 1954-type floods in the northern region and the Yangtze River Basin this year. Deputy Prime Minister Wen Wen, who is also the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Administration, delivered an important speech, emphasizing that the flood control situation this year is severe.

At the end of last month, the deputy manager went to inspect the flood control work in the three provinces of Beihu, Nanhu and Xijiang. The flood control work conference on the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River held in Jiujiang clearly required the provinces along the river to make preparations to prevent the 54-year flood in the entire basin. "

Han Yu was shocked: "Have all these news been reported?"

"It's been reported. You don't usually read the news, but you will know it if you read the news."

"Great floods in the entire basin, not just in our Yangtze River basin?"

"This is just a judgment, and I hope this judgment is wrong."

Han Gong thought for a while and then said: "The city defense directors are aware of what I just mentioned. The city defense directors have also issued documents to various districts and counties. I don't know whether they will take it seriously or not."

Han Yu turned to look at the river embankment and said: "We in Linghai did not take it seriously. Although there was no danger during the spring flood, we still followed the requirements of our superiors and took strict precautions."

"I'm not talking about Binjiang, I'm talking about other cities or even other provinces."

Following his son-in-law's gaze, Han Gong looked at the tall and strong river embankment that had been renovated, and sighed: "Actually, even if we take it seriously, even if we attach great importance to it, if such a big flood is about to break out, it may not be too late to prepare now. They all say, ' "Prevention is better than robbery, and robbery is better than rescue". In fact, we should add the sentence "building is better than defense"!

Every year, we emphasize the need to prevent floods and waterlogging. Once a flood occurs, all available forces are mobilized for rescue and disaster relief. But how much loss can be saved by just preventing and flooding? The losses have already been done. If we had invested more in water conservancy construction earlier and built river embankments like this earlier, could last year's floods have caused so much damage? "

I have to admit that the flood control and drought relief work in the past few years has been very passive.

They all treat the head when it hurts and the foot when it hurts, without fundamentally solving the problem.

Last year, typhoons, heavy rains, and sea tides all came together, causing huge economic losses to the province. The province finally realized that light protection was not enough, and made up its mind to increase investment in water conservancy, not only repairing river and sea embankments, but also repairing and dredging inland rivers. creek.

Thinking that Binjiang and even the whole province were prepared, Han Yu became less nervous than before and said with a smile: "Even if the judgment that a flood greater than that of 1954 is possible is correct, we have nothing to fear."

"There is nothing to be afraid of this year. What if it were last year?"

"That's true."

…

When I returned to the camp, I went to the canteen and saw that there happened to be some leftover food.

Han Yu warmed it up by himself, washed the dishes after eating, called a few active soldiers from the transportation class, and drove to the Meteorological Bureau to move the radar with his father-in-law.

When the leader of the Meteorological Bureau saw that several active soldiers from the reserve force were actually interested in the rusty anti-aircraft gun in the yard, he asked Han Yu angrily if he wanted it.

I came here today to collect rags. Han Yu wants whatever he wants.

As a result, not only the radar was brought back, but an anti-aircraft gun was also brought back!

Although the anti-aircraft guns were weapons and equipment, they had been scrapped and could not be used at all. Even if they could be used, there were no shells to be found. The ones brought back were similar to those displayed in parks and large martyrs' cemeteries.

As expected, Xiaoyu was very interested and immediately went to find an electric grinder to remove rust from the anti-aircraft gun. He planned to apply anti-rust paint after removing the rust, and then paint it with dark green paint...

Yang Jianbo, the instructor of the first battalion, circled around the anti-aircraft gun, turned back and said with a smile: "Secretary Han, you have been fooled. You have been fooled by the Meteorological Bureau."

Han Yu asked in confusion: "I picked this up for free and it doesn't cost money. How can I be fooled?"

"This cannon is useless."

"I know, even if they don't scrap it, they won't give it to me."

"The Meteorological Bureau is different from our army. It is easy for us to deal with scrapped equipment like this, but it is very troublesome for them to deal with it. The superiors will not want it, and they cannot be sold as scrap metal. If it is lost, it will be very troublesome. After all, a cannon is gone, and the superiors They will definitely be held accountable.”

Han Yu was stunned for a moment, then asked with a wry smile: "So I helped the Meteorological Bureau dispose of a scrapped cannon?"

Battalion Commander, Battalion Commander, you know how to take advantage, but some advantages are hard to take advantage of...

The more Yang Jianbo thought about it, the more interesting it became, and he confirmed with a smile: "They gave the cannon to us, and we have to take the responsibility of keeping the cannon."

"So they should give us money!"

"It doesn't matter whether you give us money or not, but at least you have to thank us."

"No wonder the people from the Meteorological Bureau are so nice and enthusiastic, and even helped us lift it into the car. It turns out that they didn't send the cannon to me, but sent it out to cause trouble!"

"almost."

"Xiaoyu, go find some steel bars, dig a foundation, pour a base with concrete, weld the base of the gun to the steel bars and pour it together. Now that it's pulled back, let's use it as the landscape of our camp. I'll see who has it I can steal it!"

"Dried salted fish, no one dares to steal our cannon."

Xiaoyu felt that a military camp with cannons was like a military camp, and he was very happy and happy.

When Han Yu thought of being fooled, he couldn't help but muttered: "No one dares to steal, but no one will steal. What's the use of stealing this broken copper and iron? No one dares to accept it when selling it as scrap metal."
