As Director Feng said, Han Yu and Ma Jintao have nothing else to do these days and are mainly responsible for giving lectures to the various units participating in the joint military exercise.

As for the power boat driven by Ma Jintao, it had long been taken over by soldiers from the landing craft brigade.

Before giving a speech, a speech must be written and sent to the political officers of the Military Region Political Department and the Fleet Political Department for review. After each lecture, a summary should be made, the effectiveness of the lecture should be evaluated, and the lecture draft should be modified.

It can be said that whether the lecture can make the officers and soldiers listening in the audience cry is the only criterion for measuring the success of the propaganda.

It is worth mentioning that the temporarily formed "Battlefield Heroes and Models Deeds Publicity Group" has become a highlight of the political work of the joint military exercise.

This morning, the leadership of the propaganda group has been taken over by the General Administration of Political Bureau.

According to the team leader of the General Political Department who is fully responsible for the propaganda work, the propaganda team cannot be disbanded after the exercise. Next, representatives of the heroes and models may be organized to tour the units that did not participate in the exercise.

Han Yu didn't expect that he got into this job out of nowhere, and since it was a political task, he had no choice but to obey the orders of his superiors.

The only good thing is that the lecture group does not have a camp like the observation group. After the lecture, everyone goes back to their homes and gathers on time the next day.

Han Yu's mouth went dry as he talked, and he was about to take a transport boat back to the training ship with Ma Jintao when Staff Zhang from the East China Sea Base suddenly came over.

"Secretary Han, Deputy Commander Yu and Team Leader Fang are looking for you with something urgent."

"What's the emergency?"

"I'm only responsible for conveying orders. As for what's urgent, I really don't know. Get in the car quickly and don't let the leader wait."

"good."

Han Yu could only let Ma Jintao get on the transport boat back to the training ship first, climb into the jeep driven by Staff Officer Zhang, and rush to the logistics headquarters tent in a hurry.

After shouting a report, Team Leader Fang said please come in.

Han Yu raised the curtain, walked in and asked eagerly: "Team leader Fang, deputy commander Yu, what's going on?"

Team leader Fang picked up a phone record and said with a smile: "The plan has changed. Your mission is going to end early. Use the radio to contact the comrades on the ship and ask them to help you pack your luggage and send it ashore. I'll wait for dinner after dinner." Arrange a car to take you to the airport and take the 11 o'clock flight back to Binjiang tonight."

"What's wrong with Binjiang? Something happened on the river?"

"There's nothing wrong with Binjiang, but something happened on the river."

Either nothing happens on the river, or if something happens, it's going to be a big deal, and people will die!

Han Yu's heart skipped a beat and he asked hurriedly: "What happened on the river?"

Team Leader Fang turned around and looked at Deputy Commander Yu, and explained: "Last night at about 1 o'clock, a cargo ship loaded with coal belonging to China Shipping broke anchor while anchoring at the No. 3 Pier in Zhangjiagang. The cargo ship lost control, went downstream, and hit Got on a Korean cargo ship.”

"Are there any casualties?"

"No."

Team leader Fang really didn’t want Han Yu to leave, but the boss named Han Yu to go back and participate in the accident investigation. To be precise, he wanted Han Yu, a "local snake", to go back and help collect evidence that was beneficial to China Shipping. Now he could only let Han Yu go back.

After all, you have to set up two reserve transportation groups in his company. If his company's freighter has an accident, you have to help.

Deputy Commander Yu also didn’t want his “junior brother” to go back, but considering the relationship with China Shipping, he could only agree. He came over and added: “Fortunately, the Binjiang Maritime Safety Bureau responded quickly. After receiving the request for help, it immediately mobilized a high-power tugboat for rescue and rescued the crew overnight. Transfer to the rescue ship and drag the China Shipping cargo ship to the shoal to sit in the shallows."

"Is the loss big?"

"Although all possible rescue measures were taken, China Shipping's cargo ship eventually capsized. Judging from the extent of the damage, even if it could be salvaged and repaired, including the more than 18,000 tons of coal loaded, the economic losses would be considerable. At 50 million yuan.”

“Where are the Korean freighters?”

"The damage to the South Korean freighter was not very serious, but according to the comrades of China Shipping on the phone, when their freighter hit the South Korean freighter, the bow of the South Korean freighter knocked a large gap in the hull of their freighter. Their crew members were worried that the freighter would enter. The water sank and the Korean freighter was repeatedly asked not to break away, but the Korean freighter still forcibly broke away, which directly led to the eventual capsizing of their freighter.”

"How far apart are the two ships at anchor?"

"0.8 nautical miles."

"They can hit each other at such a distance. Didn't they arrange a crew on duty when they were anchoring?"

"I also think they should bear the main responsibility, but as far as I know, according to the current water traffic regulations, crew members must be on duty on Korean freighters. If a China Shipping freighter is found to be anchored, avoidance measures should be taken promptly. And after a collision, you cannot easily escape. To break away like this is equivalent to letting the river flow into the cargo hold of the China Shipping cargo ship."

As long as there is a traffic accident, the public is right and the mother-in-law is right.

Looking specifically at the water traffic accident mentioned by Team Leader Fang and Deputy Commander Yu, it is clear that the Korean freighter suffered an unreasonable disaster.

Han Yu did not expect such a thing to happen, and asked with a wry smile: "Which unit is responsible for investigating this traffic accident?"

Deputy Commander Yu hesitated and said, "Binjiang Maritime Safety Bureau."

"My lover is the ship inspection section chief of Binjiang Maritime Safety Bureau. Is it appropriate for me to go back? Besides, even if I rush back, in what capacity can I participate in the investigation?"

"Chief of Staff Feng said you seem to be some kind of consultant to the Binjiang Maritime Safety Administration."

"Deputy Commander Yu, I would have forgotten if you didn't tell me. I did serve as a PSC inspection consultant for Binjiang Maritime Safety Bureau, but this was a traffic accident investigation, not an inspection of ships for defects."

Zhonghaifei asked "junior brother" to go back, making it clear that he wanted "junior brother" to help correct the situation.

Deputy Commander Yu felt that this was really embarrassing for his "junior brother". Just when he didn't know what to say, Team Leader Fang suddenly said: "Xianyu, there is still a problem. Two freighters collided. More than 18,000 tons of coal sank, and it is unknown whether the more than 2,000 tons of toluene loaded on the Korean freighter leaked. It can be said that it has caused serious environmental pollution to the Yangtze River. The top priority is to take measures to control the pollution to a minimum. .”

Deputy Commander Yu regained his composure and said quickly: "You are the admiral of the Binjiang Navy. It is your section of the river that is being polluted. The remedial measures cannot be done without you."

Afraid that Xianyu wouldn't help, Team Leader Fang said meaningfully: "How to investigate after you go back and what the results of the investigation will be are one thing, but whether you go back or not is another matter."

"Team Leader Fang is right. As long as you go back, you can show that you care about China Shipping. Going back is an attitude in itself."

"And for water traffic accidents like this, the maritime department can only investigate and investigate. As for how to deal with it in the end, it must go to the maritime court. Whether it will be mediation or adjudication in the future has nothing to do with you."

Han Yu muttered: "This is a big trouble, and there will be a lot of trouble in the future."

Team leader Fang subconsciously asked: "How troublesome is it?"

"First of all, there is a dispute over who will ultimately pay for the rescue costs of the two freighters and how much they will pay. Secondly, who will pay for the cost of salvaging the pollutants and whether there is any dispute over the salvage costs. Then there is how to determine the liability for the accident, the losses of the two freighters and Who is responsible for the loss of the goods?

The shipping companies on both sides, the insurance companies of the two freighters, the cargo owners, the insurance companies of the goods, as well as the units involved in rescue and salvage, all have their reasons. This lawsuit is sometimes litigated, and it is not easy to mediate. "

Han Yu sighed lightly, then thought about it and added: "And the one that was hit was a Korean freighter. It might cause an international maritime dispute."

Deputy Commander Yu knew very well how troublesome this matter was, but he still said confidently: "There is nothing to worry about in South Korea. I get angry when I mention South Korea. In April this year, a South Korean cargo plane crashed in the East China Sea. Their pilot changed the altitude unit They made a mistake, and they want to blame the air traffic control of China Civil Aviation!"

This year marks the turn of the century and is also an eventful year.

The air crash of a South Korean cargo plane in the East China Sea in April shocked the world. At that time, South Korea indeed continued to accuse China as Deputy Commander Yu said.

In order to investigate the truth of the air crash, the state started from five aspects including the mechanical reasons that may have caused the crash, flight control, air control, cargo transportation, and public security, and established five working groups of flight, air control, public security, transportation, and maintenance. The leaders of the Civil Aviation Administration of China served as the leaders of each team, and government officials and experts from China, South Korea, and the United States participated in the investigation as team members.

The investigation finally proved that it was indeed the pilot's problem that caused the plane to crash, and the reason was very ridiculous: the Korean pilot actually got the altitude unit wrong!

By interpreting the black box and analyzing the conversation between the aircraft and air traffic control, it was found that when they took off from Donghai Hongqiao Airport, they needed to fly to an altitude of 1,500 meters according to regulations to avoid affecting aircraft on other routes.

As the plane climbed, the first officer glanced at the instrument panel and saw that the plane's flight altitude read 4,500, which was "exceeding" the specified altitude. So he quickly reminded the captain. When the captain saw the number 4500, he was frightened and pushed the control stick decisively to make the plane dive.

However, the panicked captain and first officer forgot that the unit behind 4500 should be feet, not meters. This directly caused the plane weighing more than 200 tons to stall and crash, causing a collision and explosion in a residential area in the East China Sea. Five people died and more than 40 people were injured.

After the investigation results came out, they stopped clamoring, but I don't know if they compensated the economic losses caused by the plane crash to the citizens on the ground.

Considering that according to China's current water traffic regulations and relevant international conventions, although the Korean freighter was hit by the China Shipping freighter, it does not mean that they are not responsible.

The anchoring positions of the two freighters are so far apart. If the Korean freighter had arranged for dedicated personnel to be on duty as required and took avoidance measures in time after discovering that the China Shipping freighter was anchored, this water traffic accident would not have happened.

What's more, if you come out to hang out, you will have to pay it back sooner or later!

You suggested that they form a reserve transportation group. Now that they are in trouble and they come to you, you have to show your support even if you don't want to help.

Han Yu weighed it up, raised his head and said: "I obey the order, I will go back to participate in the investigation."

"Great." Deputy Commander Yu handed over a note: "This is the mobile phone number of Mr. Tang of China Overseas Shipping Co., Ltd. who is responsible for handling this accident. Remember to call Mr. Tang when you arrive in Binjiang."

Han Yu accepted the note and asked, "Where are the observation team and the propaganda team?"

Team leader Fang said without hesitation: "We will help you ask for leave."
