Chapter 761: Chapter 516 "Gods Fighting"_2
Even the chief engineer from the Water Resources Bureau has to be invited to give lectures on topics such as dike seepage, piping, breaches, overtopping, dam breaks, and urban waterlogging response.
As before, Han Yu demonstrated the movents first, then had Chen Zikun, Ma Jintao, Fang Guoya, Yang Yong, Dong Bangjun, and others show the divided actions to the trainees, before organizing squad training.
Based on the training outcos, he provided critiques and corrections, and then proceeded to assess each squad one by one.
The trainees, coming from so many military and civilian units, didn’t want to be outperford, knowing their respective unit leaders were very concerned about the training results, visiting every other day to observe, and even those without ti would call to inquire.
They clenched their teeth and competed fiercely, even though their faces were peeling from the sun and their feet whitened by soaking in the river water; no one complained or admitted to being tired.
The training lasted a month.
Half a month flew by in the blink of an eye, and from tomorrow on, they would start the long-awaited boat training.
As the head of the coaching team, Han Yu enjoyed certain privileges; unlike the trainees who had to stay in the dormitory of the Shipping Academy, he had been staying at his father-in-law’s ho, and his senior sister would also co to the city after work every day.
He was getting ready to go ho after changing clothes when Political Commissioner Ma from the Water Police Station unexpectedly arrived.
"Commissioner, are you here to check on the training progress again?"
"Director Wang inspected us yesterday; he said that your team is doing a very good job. I am just passing by to take a look."
"Dinner is about to start; I’ll walk with you to the canteen."
"If you are not eating here, then I certainly won’t be eating here either."
Ma Xinmin laughed while walking out, leaning on his bicycle, "How is the newly transferred Guo Weitao performing in our division?"
Han Yu had a deep impression of Guo Weitao from the second squad, and without giving it much thought, he said, "He is performing extrely well, as good as it gets."
"That’s a high appraisal!"
"Great physical fitness, good at swimming, and learns everything quickly. During anti-seasickness training, other trainees wanted to vomit their guts out, but he showed no reaction to seasickness at all. If he hadn’t ntioned that he rarely took boat rides before, I would’ve thought he was born and raised on a boat, just like Xiao Yu and ."
"So you’re saying he is naturally cut out to be a Water Policeman?"
"Being a Water Policeman isn’t just about being a good swimr and not getting seasick. Whether he’s a natural or not, I don’t know, but he can certainly beco a good sailor."
Han Yu smiled, then reflected, "I always thought no one was born immune to seasickness until I t him and realized so people really don’t get seasick."
Political Commissioner Ma turned to look at the entrance of the Shipping Academy, saying with a smile, "He’s not naturally immune to seasickness; he’s been through training more harrowing than this."
"He’s been through more harrowing training? Commissioner, is he a recon soldier who’s transferred to civilian service?"
"No."
"What did he do before?"
"Before joining our division, he was a traffic policeman in the First Team. Before becoming a traffic policeman, he was a mber of a military cultural troupe’s acrobatics team."
Han Yu was startled and asked in surprise, "Is he the acrobat who joined the army at five, and upon transferring to the police force, had already accrued twenty years of service?"
Political Commissioner Ma asked with a smile, "You’ve heard of him?"
Han Yu chuckled, "I’ve heard of such a person, but I didn’t know it was him. Director Chen ntioned him when he went to inspect Bailong Port, and one of the leaders accompanying Director Chen talked about him. No wonder he seed to practice Qinggong during the boarding and climbing training; so he’s an acrobat who trained in the army!"
"Have you ever seen the acrobatics act where soone spins a large jar while lying on a bench?"
"I’ve seen it on TV; is he capable of spinning it?"
"I don’t know if he can spin jars, but I do know when he was five, he was tossed and turned in mid-air by others, just like a jar. So, of course, he wouldn’t get seasick."
"Why did he think of transferring to beco a Water Policeman while doing well in the traffic police unit?"
Political Commissioner Ma let out a soft sigh, "It probably has sothing to do with his past experiences. He’s only a few years older than you, but has nearly the sa length of service as I do. His salary was so high, many in the traffic police unit were envious and jealous."
Han Yu asked in puzzlent, "He already has a long tenure. What’s there to be envious or jealous about?"
"People are envious of his high salary, and they mock his lack of education. He trained in acrobatics since he was young, and who knows how many tumbles he’s taken and injuries he’s suffered. He really hates talking about acrobatics; he switched careers back then because he was dead set against practicing it ever again."
Political Commissioner Ma paused, then continued, "But the big commander and instructor of the Traffic Police Team don’t know this. Every ti the City Bureau organizes a cultural event, if the upper levels want the Traffic Police Team to put on a performance, the big commander and instructor would have him perform acrobatics on stage."
Han Yu asked subconsciously, "Isn’t he comfortable staying with the Traffic Police Team?"
"His situation is a bit special. He applied for a transfer from the Traffic Police Team, and the Political Office didn’t know where to place him, so they thought of you."
"What does this have to do with !"
"You are about the sa age, you started working early, and your tenure isn’t short either. The Political Office probably thinks you would have common ground, so they transferred him from the Traffic Police Team to our bureau and emphasized that he should follow you in the future."
"Follow ?"
"You are a mber of the bureau’s ruling party committee; you can’t be without Water Police under you."
"I have the Water Police Fifth Company, with Ma Jintao and Yang Yong!"
"Once vessel 003 is launched, Ma Jintao and Yang Yong will take over 003, which will then be stationed at the Jiezhi Gate Police Station, responsible for security from Jiezhi Gate to Tiansheng Port waters."
"If Ma Jintao and Yang Yong are leaving, can you arrange for two more people for ?"
"No problem, actually Director Wang has already considered this."
"Who are you arranging for ?"
"Dong Bangjun and Li Ming."
Dong Bangjun was an old subordinate when he served as the Water Police Captain at Yingchuan Port. Li Ming was a contracted officer recruited by the Big Fish Bureau using sponsorship funds from the Fishery Administration, who later beca a regular officer along with Ma Jintao, Yang Yong, and Yang Yuan.
Both are veterans of the Water Police Station, and they are both old colleagues and comrades-in-arms.
Han Yu couldn’t help but smile, "Alright, those two will do."
Political Commissioner Ma smiled slightly, then quickly changed the subject: "Director Wang has visited several units these past few days, and the leaders of the Port Supervision Bureau, Changhang Bureau, border inspection station, and Water Resources Bureau all think that more training needs to be organized."
"What kind of training?"
"After discussing with several agencies, after the rescue and rescue skills training is over, the City Bureau, to be frank, our bureau will take the lead in organizing the Fire Brigade, Changhang Bureau, Port Supervision Bureau, and two port enterprise fire brigades, to carry out Binjiang City water firefighting training."
"Training specifically for firefighting on water?"
"Not only to conduct professional firefighting training, but Director Wang also plans to take this opportunity to establish the Binjiang Water Fire Fighting Association. Both the City Bureau and the Fire Brigade support it greatly. Once the association is established, several law enforcent departnts on the river and enterprises and institutions along Yanjiang will be mbers of the association."
Changhang Bureau plans to transform several port police stations into jurisdictional stations covering the river and shoreline. Sima Zhao’s heart is obvious to all.
It seems that Director Wang is responding tactically, intending to establish the Water Fire Fighting Association to confirm the Fire Managent jurisdiction of the Water Police Station over the Binjiang Waters and shoreline.
If all firefighting responsibilities fall under the Water Police Station’s purview, then there would naturally be no dispute over security jurisdiction.
What one must admire is that the City Bureau, City Fire Brigade, and Port Authority and other agencies would certainly support their own, and not only would it be bad for Changhang Bureau to oppose, they would even have to actively join the Water Fire Fighting Association initiated by Director Wang, or else it would seem like Changhang Bureau doesn’t value water firefighting.
Such an otherworldly conflict between deities.
These being his forr workplaces, Han Yu was at a loss for what to say, when Political Commissioner Ma looked at him with a smile and said, "It’s not yet decided who will be the chairman of the association, but you’ll certainly be the secretary-general. Port Supervision Bureau, Fishery Administration, Customs, Border Inspection, Linghai Police Bureau, Port Authority, Cosco, and other units only recognize you, nobody else."
"Political Commissioner, aren’t you putting
on the hot seat?"
"This is both entrusting a heavy responsibility and for work’s sake. Besides, you’re already the de facto person in charge of water firefighting."
Political Commissioner Ma smiled, then continued, "After the water firefighting training is done, units like Port Supervision, Fishery Administration, Customs, Water Administration, and Border Inspection will co together to organize joint water law enforcent training. Changhang Bureau is keen to participate, we’ll warmly welco them. If they don’t want to, that’s fine too. You prepare the lesson plans in advance; you’ll definitely lead a few classes by then."
