Riverside police

The second flood peak sent them away, and several Jiangxin Islands along the riverside were safe and sound.

The embankment was handed over to the party members and cadres and basic militiamen on Jiangxin Island. Commander Xia returned to the regiment headquarters where he was staying in the military subdivision. All the reserve officers and soldiers summoned before went home.

The main force was fighting floods in Beihu, and they originally planned to set up a "rear command post" to keep in touch with the front line. Even if they couldn't help, they would at least know what was happening on the front line.

As a result, the main force was taken over by others as soon as it arrived in Beihu. It would be inappropriate for you to ask and then take care of it. Moreover, Han Yu and the others were so busy that they had no time to answer the phone, let alone make a report.

But as a superior, he couldn't really turn a blind eye. Political Commissar Jiao's job these days was to inquire about the situation of the main force through various channels.

Linghai is the main source of information.

Judging from the news reports from Linghai Daily, Linghai TV and Linghai Radio, Xianyu and the others did a good job, otherwise the local party committee and government in Beihu would not have sent Linghai thank-you messages one after another.

This morning it was even more impressive. Several major national media outlets published a signed article by reporter Wang from Binjiang Radio Station, "Heroes Meet in the Vast Sea."

The article describes the critical moment when a section of the embankment was in serious danger and was about to collapse. In order to ensure the safety of people's lives and property, the local party committee and government had to cut off their arms. Several main leaders were helpless when they ordered the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people with tears in their eyes.

Through multiple perspectives, it describes the tragedy of hundreds of thousands of people who had to drag their families and leave their homes in three steps.

At the same time, he briefly described the Binjiang Flood Control and Emergency Battalion (Linghai Reserve Battalion) of the Jiangnan Provincial Military Region, which was ordered to rush to the rescue of Beihu to fight the flood. It went into battle as soon as it got off the car. In just two days, it fought consecutive battles and fought with the officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion of a certain regiment of the People's Liberation Army and the local people. The cadres and the masses worked together, risking their own lives, fighting the floods to the death, and saving the homes of hundreds of thousands of people!

There are two photos beside the text report.

Although one picture was taken at night, the camera was relatively close and the scene lighting was better. You can clearly see the moment when Xu Mingyuan and others grabbed a corner of the geotextile and jumped into the surging river in the rain.

In another photo, the camera is zoomed out further, and only a few pre-commissioned officers and soldiers wearing camouflage helmets and life jackets can be vaguely seen among the people fighting the flood. Most of them are People's Liberation Army soldiers. One can see the background of the military ranks. Just know he is an Air Force soldier.

There are reserve officers and soldiers, active officers and soldiers, militiamen, and the masses, but the mechanized construction equipment that has been transported thousands of miles away cannot be seen.

After reading the newspaper, Captain Xia was happy, worried, and a little strange at the same time. He couldn't help but call Deputy Mayor Qin's cell phone.

"Captain Xia, what's going on?"

"Mayor Qin, did you read today's newspaper?"

"You mean Xianyu and the others?"

"Yes, I just came back from Jiang Xinzhou, I just saw it."

"I've seen it a long time ago. It's not just you who is worried. I'm worried too. I've been paying attention to their news." His subordinates were very happy. Vice Mayor Qin was very happy and couldn't help but pick up the newspaper that he had read three times.

Captain Xia asked in a low voice: "Mayor Qin, you can only see the people in the photo, but not the equipment. I didn't elaborate on how the danger was eliminated. Do you think anything will happen to Xianyu?"

"Are you worried that Xianyu will drive the excavator over to fill the breach?"

"In critical moments, it's not impossible."

"Don't worry, this is unlikely. You don't have to think about how stingy Xianyu is. Even if he jumps in and fills it in by himself, he won't be willing to drive an excavator worth millions to fill it!"

"Just thinking about it, I feel relieved."

Captain Xia smiled and asked: "Then there is the name of the unit in the news report. Why is there neither the Jiangnan Reserve Division nor our Binjiang Reserve Regiment? It is directly the Jiangnan Provincial Military Region Binjiang Flood Control and Rescue Battalion, followed by the brackets "Linghai Reserve" camp."

From the moment Linghai received frequent letters of thanks, Vice Mayor Qin realized that there was a problem on the front line, but the root of the problem was 100% in Linghai.

Xianyu was busy organizing and directing rescue operations, and didn't even bother to do these small tricks. Even if he wasn't so busy, Xianyu wouldn't be able to do such a thing.

As the deputy mayor of Linghai, Shen Fan definitely wants to do small tricks, but Shen Fan is a good hand in economic work, and he will have to practice for a few more years to do these small tricks. Or maybe he's not that thick-skinned yet, and he can't do something as shameless as asking someone to write a letter of thanks to Ling Hai.

Vice Mayor Qin could almost conclude that these things were done by Lao Ge who had sneaked into the high-level expert group. He was silent for a moment and said with a wry smile: "It's not just Ling Hai who added brackets at the end."

"Mayor Qin, I don't quite understand."

"The development zone is also promoting. Yesterday, the development zone published an article in Binjiang Daily to support Beihu's flood control. When mentioning the name of the unit, they also added a bracket after the Binjiang Flood Control and Rescue Battalion to indicate that it was the Binjiang Development Zone Reserve Battalion. The only difference is that one was published in local media and the other was reported in national media.”

"Aren't they messing around?"

"Captain Xia, it seems you don't know our Binjiang well enough. This kind of thing is normal, just get used to it."

"Do Secretary Lu and Mayor Wang know?"

"I know, it's already in the national media, how could they not know."

"Did Secretary Lu and Mayor Wang say anything?"

"In normal times, they would definitely not be happy. The current situation is relatively delicate. Secretary Lu and Mayor Wang pretended not to know. They even asked the Propaganda Department to inform Binjiang Daily and Binjiang TV Station early this morning that they would support Beihu as long as it involves salted fish. News about fighting floods is rarely reported, and it is better not to report it at all.”

Captain Xia was confused and couldn't help but ask: "Why?"

Vice Mayor Qin explained: "Your Deputy Commander Tao called me a long time ago. He said that the reason why the head of the provincial military region went to the expressway in person to pick him up in the middle of the night was mainly because he did not know the situation of our Binjiang flood control rescue camp and was worried that we would not be able to rescue him. Combat strength, unable to complete the rescue mission assigned by superiors.

After all, we are fighting on behalf of the Provincial Military Region. They are not at ease unless they see it with their own eyes. They are even ready to mobilize elite soldiers from the reserve forces in Jiangcheng to supplement our Binjiang Flood Control and Rescue Battalion and strengthen our Binjiang Flood Control and Rescue Battalion. . "

Captain Xia really didn’t know this and asked, “What happened next?”

Vice Mayor Qin smiled and said: "After the two chiefs saw that we had so many construction machinery, they were relieved, but at the same time they were a little worried."

"What is the chief worried about?"

"Not only Beihu needs to fight floods, but Jiangnan also needs to fight floods."

Vice Mayor Qin sighed softly and continued: "Yangzhou was unable to withstand the first flood. We didn't know it at first and thought it was Yangzhou who blocked the hole on his own. Later we found out that it was Yangzhou who had blocked the hole himself." Since we couldn’t seize the troops, the province urgently mobilized troops from Guzhou, Wuxi, and Zhenjiang to provide support.”

Captain Xia murmured and asked, "Was it dangerous at that time?"

"The urban area is almost flooded. Do you think it's dangerous?"

"This has nothing to do with us."

"Why is it none of our business? At that time, the Provincial Military Region didn't know that we had a professional rescue force in Binjiang, otherwise we would have been dispatched. The flood control situation is so severe, and waterlogging has occurred in Jiangcheng. Who can guarantee that the entire province's Yangtze River embankments will not be damaged? Is there a problem? Let’s put it this way, the provinces and cities along the Yangtze River are now trying to clear their doors, and they must first ensure that there are no problems on their own side.”

For fear that Commander Xia would not understand, Vice Mayor Qin added: "The Provincial Military Region must accept the leadership of both the province and the Nanjing Military Region. The province is considering flood control for the entire province, and the Nanjing Military Region's defense area is larger. We need to support the provinces and cities along the river such as Jiangnan, Hui'an and Xijiang in fighting floods, and the flood control situation in Xijiang and Hui'an is more severe than that in Jiangnan.

If you were the head of the Provincial Military Region and the flood fighting situation in the province and the Nanjing Military Region was so severe, and you asked a highly combat-effective rescue team to support Beihu in flood fighting, what would the provincial leaders think, and what would the head of the Nanjing Military Region think? ? "

Commander Xia suddenly understood: "The more lively our propaganda is, the more embarrassed the provincial military region chief will be."

"The situation of Secretary Lu and Mayor Wang is somewhat similar to that of the leaders of your provincial military region. Fortunately, we are too far away from Jiangcheng, and the order to mobilize troops came from the Central Y Army, so they are not as embarrassed as the head of your provincial military region. , but at this juncture we still need to keep a low profile.”

"I understand, Ke Linghai is still promoting it in a big way."

"Linghai can let them do whatever they want. The province can't even take care of Binjiang, so how can it have the energy to take care of them. But they are indeed a bit too much. I will call Secretary Ye later and ask him what is going on. mean."

…

Linghai's support to Beihu in fighting floods is not just sending the most professional team and the best equipment, but also providing all-round support.

Vice Mayor Shen's main work in Jingzhou is not only to express condolences on behalf of the Linghai Municipal Party Committee, Government and Linghai people, but also to help Secretary Yuan, County Magistrate Huang and other local party and government leaders purchase urgently needed emergency supplies.

Stones are not available in Linghai.

There are exactly two manufacturers of woven bags in Linghai.

As soon as Secretary Ye and Secretary Qian received the call for help from Vice Mayor Shen, they convened a meeting with heads of industry, commerce, public security and other departments, and set up a working group to station in the two woven bag manufacturers.

There were not enough raw materials, so the city helped with procurement.

In addition to ensuring the normal needs of Linghai enterprises and their old customers, the woven bags produced are all purchased and responsible for the "brotherly counties" such as Angong and Lingjiang that are in urgent need of woven bags by the Linghai Development Zone Management Committee. Find a vehicle for emergency transportation to Beihu.

No price gouging is allowed, and no one is allowed to speculate at this time.

Anyone who dares to do that will be severely investigated and punished by the industrial and commercial departments and the public security organs.

Today, there are woven bags to be sent to Beihu. Secretary Ye happened to be helping Vice Mayor Shen receive several businessmen who came to the development zone for inspection. By the way, he rushed to the woven bag manufacturer to see the loading and shipping of emergency supplies.

The working group did a good job.

The woven bags produced after working overtime in the past few days have been loaded on the six large trucks. Banners and slogans such as "One side is in trouble and all sides support" are pulled on the six large trucks. Passes stamped with the official seal of the Linghai Municipal Party Committee and Government are also stuffed. Arrived at the bridge glass.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s useful or not, and whether people recognize it or not. What’s important is that what needs to be done must be done.

Secretary Ye was very satisfied and was about to chat with the two company CEOs when Vice Mayor Qin suddenly called. He could only apologize to the two bosses and step aside to answer the call.

"Mayor Qin, what are your instructions?"

"Secretary Ye, did you receive a thank you letter today?"

"Not today, Mayor Qin, why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

"I met Standing Committee Member Liu in the morning. Standing Committee Member Liu told me about Shen Fan and Xianyu's support for Beihu's flood fight. He thought it was strange that the people who went to support the flood fight were clearly the Binjiang Flood Control and Rescue Battalion. Why didn't they write a letter of thanks to Binjiang? Instead, I will write to you every three days."

Standing Committee Member Liu is the Propaganda Minister, and it is normal for the Propaganda Minister to care about these things.

Secretary Ye was well prepared and said with a smile: "Maybe most of the officers and soldiers participating in the war are from Linghai, so people wrote letters of thanks to us in Linghai."

Vice Mayor Qin smiled and asked: "What happened to the Linghai Reserve Camp? Wasn't it cancelled? Why did it pop up again? The thank you letter said Linghai Reserve Camp, and the publicity reports said Linghai Reserve Battalion, Linghai Reserve Battalion is even mentioned in the national media.”

"Mayor Qin, I want to make it clear that we in Linghai are political and consider the overall situation. Our Linghai propaganda has never mentioned the Linghai Reserve Camp! If you don't believe me, I will ask the Propaganda Department to publish these days' Linghai Daily and related The news tapes and radio tapes will be sent over for your review."

"You really didn't say that?"

"If you really say that, I take full responsibility. We all use the 'Linghai Disciple Soldiers'. As for the Linghai Reserve Battalion you saw or heard, it was all said by a few counties in Beihu who don't know the specific situation."

Secretary Ye suppressed a smile and emphasized: "If someone writes this, we can only read it this way, and we can only reprint it this way. After all, it is all written by others, and we are neither good nor can we modify it. If Standing Committee Member Liu thinks there is something wrong with this statement , you can definitely contact several districts and counties in Beihu and ask them to write a few more letters of thanks."

Vice Mayor Qin was stunned, and suddenly realized that Linghai really did not promote the Linghai Reserve Camp in a big way. The Linghai Reserve Camp they promoted was indeed the Linghai Reserve Camp that people said, and it really had nothing to do with them, but in fact It doesn't matter.

Vice Mayor Qin realized that he could not play Linghai with his evil intentions, and he was dumbfounded when Secretary Ye coughed dryly: "Mayor Qin, we in Linghai talk about politics and take the overall situation into consideration, but there are people who don't pay attention to politics and ignore the overall situation!"

"who?"

"Luo Hongxin, take a look at the signed article published by their development zone in Binjiang Daily yesterday. They actually added a bracket after the Binjiang Flood Control and Rescue Camp to indicate that it is their development zone reserve camp. In terms of the specific content, it is directly Binjiang Development Zone Reserve Battalion!”

"Isn't it the same for you?"

"We didn't. How could we, Linghai, do such a thing?"

"But there are still brackets in the newspaper I have, and you Linghai are also in the brackets."

"Mayor Qin, I know the newspaper you're talking about. I read it this morning. It says Linghai Reserve Camp in brackets, but it has nothing to do with us in Linghai. That's what people say, we can only control ourselves, not others. Let alone the national media.”

"Secretary Ye, you can do it!"

"What can it be?

"In the words of Standing Committee Member Liu, you are blocking Binjiang in all directions and without any blind spots!"

"Standing Committee Member Liu is really good at joking. He wouldn't dare to block Binjiang even if we had ten guts."

"Take it easy, don't go too far."

"Mayor Qin, this is none of our business."

"Okay, okay, since it's none of your business, I'll hang up now. I know you're busy."

…

If you hang up, just hang up.

I will "block" you, but you can't find any reason to use me. Let's see what you can do to us.

Secretary Ye put down his cell phone and couldn't help but laugh. He thought that the city leaders were too outdated and were still debating whether they should be the "Binjiang Flood Control Rescue Camp" or the "Linghai Reserve Camp."

Who is still promoting Linghai Reserve Camp now? We are not promoting it. What we are promoting now is Linghai Port, Linghai Economic and Technological Development Zone and Linghai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.
