Riverside police

"Intelligence work is not as difficult as you think. You can learn while doing it and you will get started quickly. Besides, you won't be the only one after the Intelligence Section is established. At least I can give you a co-police officer who is familiar with the situation."

"Can the bureau leaders agree?"

"Don't worry, I'll talk to the bureau leaders for you."

"Changing jobs at this time feels like being a deserter."

"Intelligence work is very important. Once you collect intelligence clues and hand them over to the Investigation Division for filing and investigation, how could Wang Ke and others think that you are a deserter?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

…

Han Yu didn't want to put off until tomorrow what he could do today.

After soliciting Xu Haoran's opinion, he dialed Zhou Huixin's mobile phone.

Han Yu briefly reported his thoughts and added helplessly: "In terms of suitability, Ma Jintao and Yang Yong from the Shuangshui Branch may be more suitable. But Ma Jintao doesn't want to be transferred to our bureau, and even if he wanted to, the city bureau would not agree. , because he is now the only national flood-fighting model in the Binjiang public security system."

Apart from better wages and benefits, the Smuggling Crime Investigation Branch really can't compare with the Water Branch in other aspects. At least I have a sense of accomplishment working in the Water Branch and I can see hope.

For example, Ma Jintao, as long as he works hard, he will become deputy director sooner or later.

Another example is Yang Yong. As long as he works hard, he will be able to become a captain in his own right sooner or later.

The Smuggling Crime Investigation Branch is a newly established unit. Not only are many relationships unresolved, but the future is not very clear. It is established today, but it may be revoked someday. It is normal for people not to come.

What's more important is that even if you can get a minor or a full degree in a transfer, it will be difficult to improve. After all, the Smuggling Crime Investigation Bureau is an internal bureau of the Customs, and the Customs has a say in personnel arrangements. The customs has relatively high requirements for academic qualifications, so it is difficult for people who have not attended college to get ahead.

Zhou Huixin could understand why Ma Jintao and other marine police were unwilling to come, and smiled: "Since there is no better choice, let Xu Haoran do it first. However, it takes time to establish the intelligence department. I will report to Ma Guan tomorrow morning and try to let Xu Haoran do it first." Report to your place as soon as possible, and take him with you first."

"OK."

"By the way, are you going to go to the river for inspection tomorrow?"

"Yes, I just received the clue at night, but now I just feel suspicious. Whether it is suspected of smuggling or tax fraud remains to be verified."

"Have you made all arrangements?"

"It's been arranged. I've already informed the border inspection and maritime authorities."

"That's good. Try to solve a big case and get off to a good start. Otherwise, people will really think that our anti-smuggling police officers are just for free."

"clear!"

Han Yu hung up the phone, and Han Xiangning suddenly remembered something and said quickly: "San'er, I almost forgot to tell you that the Yangtze River Passenger Transport Company plans to suspend the Baishen Line at the end of the month."

This time the voyage was really suspended. Although Han Yu was mentally prepared, it was still difficult to accept it for a while.

Han Xiangning sighed softly and said with a wry smile: "I met Old Wu from the channel section this morning. Old Wu said that when the passenger ships stop sailing, they will remove all the navigation beacons on the North Branch Channel."

Han Yu asked in shock: "Even the navigation beacon must be removed!"

"There will be no maintenance in the future, and the navigation mark is easy to shift. What if after the navigation mark is moved, people sail according to the navigation mark and get stranded as before."

"In the future, the North Branch Channel will not be desilted, dredged or maintained?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. The Waterway Bureau doesn't have that much funding."

“Passenger ships will no longer use the North Branch Channel, but small boats will still use it.”

"Binyang River, Binqi River, Jianghai River, Hubin River, and Bailong River all have no navigation marks. Don't boats sail on the rivers the same way?"

"This is different, these are two different things!"

The reason why the junior returned to the Yanjiang Police Station that year was because he was worried that if something happened to the North Branch Channel, no one would take care of it. Now that passenger ships are suspended and waterways are no longer maintained, it can be said that they really don’t care.

Han Xiangning could understand his mood and said helplessly: "It's a bit unreasonable to even remove the navigation beacon. After all, the North Branch is also the Yangtze River, and it is directly related to the water transportation in the eastern part of Linghai and Dongqi. Linghai and Dongqi City leaders have fought for it, but to no avail.

The Waterway Bureau said that precious funds should be spent wisely. Now they can only maintain the main and auxiliary channels, but they really can't take care of the northern branch channel. Moreover, the sedimentation in the North Branch Channel is so heavy that it cannot be dredged even if funds are available. "

The century-old Bailong Port is about to become history.

Han Yu felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but think of the history of Bailonggang told by Principal Gao and other seniors of Bailonggang.

Compared with the vast river of history, it is short-lived, but the breadth of life it breeds is boundless. As time goes by and stars change, Bailonggang has witnessed the changes in its hometown and also witnessed the glorious achievements of the people of Linghai in modern China who fought bravely on this land.

"On the day when the cruise is suspended, no matter how busy I am, I will still find time to go back."

"Okay, I'll go back with you."

"I want to take the last boat."

"Okay, I just happened to go to the East China Sea to see my sister and brother-in-law."

Han Xiangning also had many good memories in Bailonggang, and couldn't help but hold Han Yu's arm.

Han Yu was silent for a moment and said with mixed emotions: "I used to think that Bailong Port has a history of a hundred years. Later, after listening to Uncle Ge and Principal Gao, I learned that Bailong Port has a history of more than two hundred years."

"Yeah?"

"Really, it's all documented. Not only the history of shipping, but also the history of modern revolution."

Han Xiangning really didn't know this, so she nestled in his arms, thinking about the two people's work and life in Bailonggang, and asked in a low voice: "What did Uncle Ge and Principal Gao say?

Han Yu put his arm around her shoulders and said, "As early as the eleventh year of Jiaqing, that is, 1806, Bailong Port was the first crossing of the Yangtze River in Linghai; in 1888, Mr. Zhang, the number one scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, relied on the Fourth Textile Factory of Dasheng. , to raise funds to build a large wharf and purchase ships to navigate the East China Sea. The voyage to Shiliupu is 103 kilometers."

Han Xiangning asked curiously: "What about the history of revolution?"

"In the spring of 1926, a Communist Party member named Zhang Guanjin, under instructions from his superiors, went to Linghai to establish a party organization. In the cold spring, he wore a thin robe, boarded the ship from Shiliupu, and disembarked at Bailong Port in the twilight. I got off the car at a place called Sanjo Bridge and moved into a primary school near the town.

There he used teaching as a cover to promote the party's ideas, develop party organizations, and engage in revolutionary activities. A year later, the first party branch in Linghai, where he served as secretary, was established in Santiaoqiao. From then on, the fire of revolution began to burn blazingly in the land of Linghai. "

"Any more?"

"Yes, in the spring of 1932, the situation in the struggle against the enemy in the Linghai area was very serious. A patriotic literary young man who was evading the enemy's pursuit, carrying a cloth bag containing several changes of clothes, mixed in the chaotic flow of people, and walked from the Bailong Port Pier. He hurriedly boarded the ship. He was Comrade Wang Chenwu, later the executive member of the Left Federation and our early film critic in China. He later died and was posthumously recognized as a revolutionary martyr after liberation."

Han Yu thought for a moment and then continued: "In 1949, the Amethyst of the British Far East Fleet broke into the People's Liberation Army's crossing section of the Yangtze River, triggering military and diplomatic conflicts. Late one night in July, the detained Amethyst took advantage of a typhoon to land. Opportunity to escape from the North Branch Channel.

It turned off its lights and ran parallel to the Gangneung Liberation, the first passenger and cargo liner on the Yangtze River trunk line to resume sailing after the Battle of Crossing the River, to provide cover. The engine was turned off and silent, and with the help of the low tide, it drifted along the current and quietly escaped the Jiangyin Fortress.

In order to avoid the People's Liberation Army artillery that blocked the main channel of the Yangtze River on the south side of Taoming Island, they chose to take advantage of the high tide caused by the typhoon to escape into the East China Sea through the North Branch Channel, which is normally unnavigable by warships. "

Han Xiangning asked in shock: "Did the British warship escape from the North Branch Channel?"

"British warships can escape from the North Branch Channel, and foreign ships and even warships can also escape from the North Branch Channel into the main Yangtze River, so the North Branch Channel cannot be left unattended!"

"It won't be left unattended. The Changhang Branch has Linghai Police Station and Dongqi Police Station, and the Water Branch has the Third Marine Police Brigade."

"They only have two patrol boats, and together with Little 001, they only have three law enforcement boats."

Han Yu didn't want to just watch the North Branch Channel be abandoned. In fact, the North Branch Channel was not something the Waterway Bureau and the Water Conservancy Commission could give up if they wanted to.

Even if the navigation beacon is removed, inland waterway cargo ships of two to three thousand tons can still sail. Moreover, like the main channel, the North Branch Channel has two tides every day. At high tide, as long as there is water depth detection equipment, ships of five to six thousand tons can sail.

He was silent for a moment, then continued: "In the main channel, your maritime department has VTS and several radar stations that can monitor the situation on the river. As for the North Branch Channel, there is nothing.

Xiaoyu reminded your bureau some time ago that he found at least two river boats entering and exiting the sea from the North Branch Channel. Our Smuggling Crime Investigation Branch and your Maritime Safety Bureau are both guarding the country's gates. We cannot just watch the country's gates open without anyone taking care of them! "

It is not uncommon for foreign ships to enter the Yangtze River without permission from maritime affairs, customs and border inspections. My junior classmate once intercepted the next one, and the cargo came in from the main channel.

If a foreign ship with a small tonnage takes the risk and breaks into the main line of the Yangtze River from the North Branch Channel, it will pass through the riverside waters if not careful.

Han Xiangning felt that her junior's worries were justified, and said thoughtfully, "I'll ask Bureau Xu when I go to work tomorrow."

"what?"

"Ask him if he can strengthen the Linghai Maritime Department. There is no solution for the line from Bailong Port to Dongqi, but Sanhe must be defended."

The waters of Sanhe are the waters of Linghai Port.

The waters of Linghai Port are located at the fork of the Yangtze River.

Sanhe, which is nearly 100 kilometers away from the sea, has actually become the first line of defense to guard the country. Han Yu feels a little ridiculous and can't help but ask: "Didn't your bureau set up the Dongqi Maritime Department? Can the Dongqi Maritime Department be allowed to play a role? "

"Dongqi Maritime Department is located in Dongqicheng District."

"Why should the office be located in an urban area? Why not be located at the estuary?"

Han Xiangning sighed softly: "Dongqi only has a fishing port but not a large commercial port. It is not appropriate to locate the Dongqi Maritime Department on the riverside. On the contrary, it will make the people who work take the wrong route."

Han Yu reacted, raised his head and said: "When I have time, I will look for the border defense detachment, border inspection station, long-distance shipping branch and water branch. The North Branch Channel cannot be ignored just because the passenger ships are suspended and the Channel Bureau no longer maintains it. Things on the river We have to take care of it, and we have to guard the northern branch of the country even more!"
