Chapter 805: Chapter 548: Deal!
At 3 p.m., the Port Supervision Bureau pier was bustling with people, lively and crowded.
Supervision Boat 42 of the Port Supervision Bureau and the Changhang Bureau’s Changhang Police 111, under the command of the Traffic Control Center, guided three law enforcent boats adorned with flags to berth at the Port Supervision Bureau.
The patrol boat originally intended to sponsor the Linghai Police Bureau Developnt Zone Branch but eventually sponsored to the Water Police Station was brought back by Ma Jintao and Yang Yong, with the hull numbers already painted. Once Director Chen from the Municipal Police Bureau announces the order, it will beco "Binjiang Police 003."
The Linghai Port Supervision Office transferred the previously ordered law enforcent boat to the Changhang Guzhou Branch, requesting Hanwu Shipyard to construct another. Hanwu Shipyard has been increasingly efficient at building small patrol boats; though this boat for the Linghai Port Supervision Office was the last to begin, it was completed and delivered alongside Binjiang Police 003.
If the leaders of the Changhang Guzhou Branch knew, they would certainly regret spending an extra hundred thousand yuan.
The hull number for this Port Supervision law enforcent boat is also painted; from now on, it is "Supervision 48."
Then there’s the Water Resources Supervision Enforcent Team’s law enforcent boat, brought back by Yang Yuan with two Water Resources Bureau employees who had trained on "Binjiang Police 002" for four months, hull number "Water Resources Supervision 010."
This is the first law enforcent boat for the Binjiang Water Resources Law Enforcent System, which logically should be nad "Water Resources Supervision 001." But with Salted Fish’s 001 around, no matter which unit equips a water law enforcent vessel, it can no longer be called 001.
In front of Salted Fish’s 001, these newly equipped law enforcent boats are all younger brothers.
was once the "Old Brother" of joint law enforcent in the Binjiang Waters, and it remains so until its condition truly renders it unfit for navigation and it retires.
Binjiang Police 003 carried the wide banner from when 002 joined the fleet: Fight first with ; with , victory is assured!
The banner on Supervision 48 is low-key, simply stating: Maintain water traffic order, ensure water traffic safety.
The slogan on Water Resources Supervision 010 is quite bold, using the onshore promotional slogan from the last inclusion of three law enforcent vessels: First voyage, first battle!
This is actually not an exaggeration because after the enlistnt ceremony, the three law enforcent boats will participate in the newly launched joint operations to combat illegal eel fry fishing.
To welco these three law enforcent boats, the directors of the Municipal Police Bureau, Water Resources Bureau, and Port Supervision Bureau attended. Leaders from Customs, Changhang Bureau, and the border inspection station also showed their support.
Deputy Director Zhou Hong from the Agricultural Bureau and Station Chief Xu from the East Sea District Fishery Bureau Binjiang Fishery Station had to co since these three law enforcent boats would be assisting in fishery law enforcent.
Xiao Yu was the chief commander for bringing the three law enforcent boats back from Hanwu, the first to disembark, and following "Salted Fish" instructions, ran to the leaders, stood at attention, and saluted.
"Report to all leaders, I have completed the task of supervising and receiving the three law enforcent boats as ordered and have safely brought them back to Binjiang. Awaiting further instructions! Deputy Captain Liang Xiaoyu from the Linghai Police Bureau Binjiang Branch Linghai Water Police Patrol Team!"
Director Chen, as the Police Chief and a mber of the Binjiang Municipal Governnt’s Party Leadership Group, was equivalent to a city leader.
With the kind gesture from Director Tang and the Water Resources Director, he raised his hand in return salute: "Comrade Liang Xiaoyu, well done!"
"To serve the people!"
"Enlist."
"Yes!"
Though the Changhang Bureau didn’t have new law enforcent boats joining this ti, at least the police officers made an appearance, and it was the chief commander receiving these three law enforcent boats.
Director Qi was very pleased and couldn’t help but smile.
Director Liu was even happier, nodding and smiling at Xiao Yu.
Political Commissioner Jiang knew well that the reason Xiao Yu was able to beco the chief commander was not due to anything else, but simply because the Water Police Station’s police were hard to command at the Port Supervision Bureau, and vice versa for the Port Supervision personnel at the Water Resources Bureau.
But there had to be soone in charge when the ships were brought back from Hanwu. After so discussion, the leaders of the three units eventually decided to let Xiao Yu, this "third party," be fully responsible.
However, Political Commissioner Jiang was not thinking about these matters now, but rather calmly asking, "Salted Fish, have you seen the list I gave you?"
Han Yu glanced at his good brother showing off at the front, covering his mouth and saying, "I have."
"How many recruits are you planning to enlist?"
"Four."
"Which four?"
"Xiao Yu, Li Hui, Chen Youren, Xiao Gong."
"Reconsider. Our branch has over a dozen military transfer officials and veterans."
"I’ve checked, having been transferred from the branch, I’m too familiar with the old colleagues’ situations there, I don’t even need to check."
"Then why recruit only four?"
"Others are either too old or not professionally matched, not eting our recruitnt criteria."
Political Commissioner Jiang turned and quietly asked Wang Xiazhi, laughing without restraint, "How many has the Water Police Station recruited?"
He had thought that with the olive branch extended by the Changhang Bureau, Director Wang and Political Commissioner Ma would have relaxed their attitude towards the Changhang Bureau. Instead, the open and secret rivalry between the two intensified even further than before.
But then again, on this matter, Director Wang truly cannot back down.
If the Water Police Station "collapsed" in his hands, what would his superiors think of him? Even Director Yu and forr Director Peng would consider him a "wastrel."
This might just be what they call, once in the Jianghu, one’s actions are no longer one’s own.
Han Yu sighed quietly, softly replying, "The Water Police Station has recruited six."
"Why two more than our bureau?"
"The average age of the Water Police Station officers is younger than that of the Changhang Bureau, and many have participated in water enforcent rescue training. Naturally, more personnel et the recruitnt requirents than those at the Changhang Bureau."
The Water Police Station has only been formally established for, at most, ten years until now.
In terms of the average age of the officers, it’s true that the Changhang Branch with several predecessors can’t compare.
In the number of "joining the army," the Changhang Branch lost another round. There’s nothing that can be done about it, so Political Commissioner Jiang could only smile and ask, "What positions do you plan to arrange for Xiao Yu, Li Hui, and Chen Youren?"
"Xiao Yu will serve as the Deputy Company Commander of the Second Company, Li Hui will be the Platoon Leader of the third platoon of the Second Company, Chen Youren will be the Deputy Instructor of the Second Company, and Xiao Gong will be the Platoon Leader of the fourth platoon of the First Company."
"There’s no problem with arranging Xiao Yu, Li Hui, and Xiao Gong this way, but is it appropriate for Chen Youren to be an instructor?"
"What’s inappropriate about it?"
"Before transitioning, Chen Youren was a Standard Camp-level officer. At least give him a Deputy Battalion Commander position!"
"If we were forming a High Artillery Battalion or an Infantry Battalion, he would be fully qualified to be a Deputy Battalion Commander. But we are an Anti-Flooding and Ergency Mobile Assault Battalion, and what matters are professional skills and resources."
Political Commissioner Jiang curiously asked, "What resources are needed?"
Han Yu laughed, "The Battalion headquarters staff consists of seven people in total. The Camp Commander is an active-duty officer, that’s by law, and no one can take his position. The Deputy Battalion Commander is predetermined, to be served by the general manager of the Linghai Transportation Bureau Bridge and Road Engineering Company. He is also a military transfer official and has a construction team and construction equipnt.
If our battalion has to carry out rescue and disaster relief tasks, they can mobilize an excavator, a bulldozer, a loader, and corresponding construction personnel. Political Commissioner, would you say they have resources?"
They’ve got construction equipnt and personnel, you really can’t compare to that.
Especially the excavator, I’ve heard it’s paid by the hour, costing thousands for just one hour of work...
Political Commissioner Jiang paused for a mont and then inquired, "What about the Deputy Instructor?"
"The Deputy Instructor is Director Gan from the Port Authority Human Resources Departnt. You know Director Gan; he’s also a military transfer official. The Port Authority leadership promised that if our battalion has to carry out rescue and disaster relief missions, they can requisition the Port Authority’s floating crane ship and corresponding personnel."
Han Yu smiled and added, "The manager is Deputy Mayor Liu of Chengdong Town, Linghai City. He’s not just a military transfer official but has previously served as a staff officer in the Linghai Ard Forces Departnt and is a good friend of my ntor. He’s an expert in managing civilian soldiers and reserve work. By inviting him to be our battalion’s manager, I hardly need to worry about the daily operations of the battalion.
The secretary was recomnded by Mayor Shen, another military transfer official. In the military, he was responsible for writing materials, and he was placed in the governnt office after transitioning. Think about it, if a military transfer official could be placed in the governnt office, how skilled must he be at writing materials? Moreover, his position in the governnt office will benefit our battalion’s future work."
"Is he a cadre in the Linghai Municipal Governnt Office?"
"Yes."
"How many more?"
"Not many more, just two battalion engineers."
"Your battalion also has engineers?"
"Our battalion is ford for flood control and ergency response; how could it not have engineers?"
Han Yu looked up at Director Chen, who was giving an important speech, and whispered, "One is a water resources engineer from the Linghai Water Resources Bureau, and the other is an engineer from the Waterway Engineering Bureau. To be blunt, flood control and ergency response is about ensuring the safety of harbor embanknts, sluice gates, river passages, and river and island embanknts; these people are professionals."
Political Commissioner Jiang was thoroughly convinced and jokingly said, "Salted Fish, your battalion could transition into an engineering corps right on the spot and take on projects."
Han Yu couldn’t help but laugh, "Indeed, what I’ve ford is essentially a construction team."
"What’s the highest position attained by officers from the Water Police Station who ’joined the army’?"
"Deputy Company Commander."
"They can’t even make it to Company Commander?"
"I’ve already said we’re a construction team; they can’t do construction, so they can only be assigned to the Second Company for water rescue tasks or to the First Company for water vigilance and guard duties."
"How much does the Water Police Station plan to sponsor you guys?"
"Three thousand."
"We’ll give five thousand, but you must arrange a Standard Company position for our branch officers."
It seems "selling positions" is quite lucrative!
Han Yu saw this as an opportunity and quietly pulled Political Commissioner Ma over, subtly saying, "Political Commissioner Ma, the position of Company Commander for our Second Company hasn’t been decided yet. Political Commissioner Jiang plans to sponsor five thousand yuan and recomnd a Changhang Branch officer to serve as the Second Company Commander."
Political Commissioner Ma was taken aback, turned to look at his "sworn enemy," and said, "Our branch will sponsor six thousand, and I recomnd Ma Jintao as the Second Company Commander."
Political Commissioner Jiang didn’t expect Salted Fish to act this way, laughed, and said, "Seven thousand."
Increasing the bid, who’s afraid of whom? At most, I’ll forgo the legal earnings from the currently investigated case of ship crew embezzlent.
On principled matters, there’s no room for compromise. Without hesitation, Political Commissioner Ma said, "Ten thousand!"
"..."
Political Commissioner Jiang didn’t expect Political Commissioner Ma to be so ruthless and hesitated to bid higher.
Han Yu reminded, "Political Commissioner Jiang, it’s your turn."
"Salted Fish, I won’t compete with Political Commissioner Ma for the Company Commander, how much is the Instructor?"
"The Instructor is eight thousand."
"That expensive?"
"Troops are different from police; in the military, the Company Commander and Instructor are of equal rank, one military and one political. Technically, it should be ten thousand, but I’ve already given you a 20% discount."
"Eight thousand it is then."
"Deal!"
