Chapter 836: Chapter 569: Clarity from the Sidelines!_3
...
Arriving at the riverbank’s dunship, after waiting for about half an hour, the hydrological boat from the station finally approached.
Seeing Han Yu in camouflage, with the soft Reserve Major insignia on his shoulder, both Station Chief Hua and Master Xi were indeed surprised.
"Salted Fish, when did you beco a Major?"
"A few days ago, but I’ve been the Deputy Chief of Staff and the Reserve Battalion Commander for a while now."
Station Chief Hua curiously asked, "Deputy Chief of Staff of which unit, Commander of which unit?"
Han Yu proudly smiled and said, "Deputy Chief of Staff of the Binjiang Reserve Team and Commander of the Flood Control and Rescue Mobile Assault Battalion. Actually, we have two camps; the Flood Control and Rescue Support Camp is also under my charge!"
"Managing two camps at the sa ti, impressive!"
"It’s mainly because of the trust from the superiors."
"Is there any salary?"
"..."
"So it’s voluntary, just work without pay!"
Being an officer without a salary, thinking about it is a bit embarrassing.
Han Yu laughed awkwardly, looking quite ashad as he said, "Although there’s no salary, there is a subsidy. There’s a subsidy for organizing training, fifteen bucks a day, but it can only be taken for a maximum of twenty days."
Station Chief Hua was just joking with him, actually quite curious about Han Yu’s camp, patting him on the arm: "Co on, take
to visit your camp."
"Sure, this way please, Master Xi, watch your step."
Han Yu was anticipating their visit, and as he led them to the camp area, he proudly introduced the camp’s situation.
Station Chief Hua was greatly astonished and couldn’t help but exclaim, "Salted Fish, you’re taking your part-ti job as a full-ti one, you’re planning to get serious!"
"Our leaders said that reserve duty is based on trust, reserve duty cos with responsibility, and reserve duty must be competent! I’m in charge of two camps, so of course, I must be serious, no deception."
"According to the way you just described the formation, if last year’s floods hit again, your two camps can really make a difference."
"Station Chief Hua, what you said is the greatest affirmation of my work. A few days ago, the division ca to inspect, they didn’t understand, they thought we were just talking on paper, being deceptive, and trying to muddle through."
Different fields have different skills, how could the reserve forces leadership understand matters on the river?
Although they have directed the establishnt of a reserve flood control and rescue team, perhaps they themselves don’t understand water managent and don’t know how to prevent floods.
Station Chief Hua nodded, just about to speak, when Master Xi suddenly said, "Salted Fish, you said so much, and the preparations are indeed very thorough, but how could you forget your biggest advantage?"
"Biggest advantage, Master Xi, what other advantage do I have?"
"The 001."
"I haven’t forgotten, the 001 will be assigned to guard duty and may even execute water retrieval tasks."
Master Xi stopped, turned around, and pointed to the riverbank: "Look, if a flood really occurs, what will the water level rise to?"
Han Yu thought for a mont and said, "If a massive flood occurs once in a hundred years, it could rise to nine ters."
Master Xi pressed, "If the water level rises to nine ters, wouldn’t the riverbank below the water’s surface be eroded by the current?"
"Yes, it definitely would. By then, the river’s flow rate will certainly be faster than it is now."
"Then how do you know if the riverbank on the water side has been damaged, if the block stones have been washed away, or if the riverbank below the water’s surface has been hollowed out by the floodwaters?"
Han Yu suddenly realized, slapped himself on the face: "Truly, the onlooker sees most of the ga, and the person involved is blind. I only thought about what I could see with my eyes, without considering what I couldn’t see. I only thought about rescue, how to seal a breached bank, not how to detect unseen hazards in ti and take defensive actions promptly!"
The young guy is smart, quick to grasp things.
Master Xi patted his shoulder and smiled: "Ultimately, you’ve been using the underwater mapping equipnt on the 001 as a Water Depth Detector, it’s a real waste of such good equipnt given to you."
"But we have a flood prevention technology squad, even if I didn’t think of it, they should have."
"They don’t have such good equipnt, how could they think of it? I don’t know about other provinces, but I know that only the Water Resources Departnt in Hui’an Province has it, and it’s not installed on a ship."
"Thank you for the reminder, Master Xi, you’ve really helped
a lot, I’ll treat you guys to a big feast for lunch!"
The more Han Yu thought about it, the more excited he beca, laughing energetically: "The 001 can’t be assigned to the guard squad, it must be included in the flood prevention technology squad. If a flood really occurs, once we arrive at the flood-prone areas, we’ll organize personnel to simultaneously inspect hazards from both the shore and the water. If we find any section of the dam or riverbank has been hollowed on the water side, we’ll imdiately organize forces to protect it."
