Follow the senior sister upstairs to meet Director Xu and Sister Zhu.

What made Han Yu laugh and cry was that they seemed not interested in participating in the accident investigation. Instead, they enthusiastically asked about the situation of the military exercise, or to be precise, about the situation of Qin Weiquan, director of the political office of the rescue ship brigade.

It's understandable when you think about it.

Comrade Lao Qin is a cadre of the Maritime Safety Bureau. If he can be awarded meritoriously in the exercise, it will be an honor for the Binjiang Maritime Safety Bureau.

"Qin Ke does a good job there. He is busier than me, the hands-off shopkeeper."

"What is he busy with?"

Director Xu adjusted his glasses, full of expectation.

Sister Zhu smiled and said nothing, but it could be seen that she was equally curious.

Han Yu explained with a smile: "He is the leader responsible for the rescue. There are many civilian ships cooperating with the active troops in the beach landing exercise. Although the exercise headquarters planted red flags at sea according to the tide conditions, the impact of the waves is stronger than the waves in the river.

Many of the red flags marking the location were washed away, which directly caused many fishing boats to cross the line and be stranded on the beach."

Director Xu asked with a smile: "He wants to command Big 001 to drag him?"

"Not only is he going to help tow the fishing boats, some fishing boats have broken down after running aground on the beach. The propellers have even become entangled in the fishing nets while sailing, and they cannot raise the anchor when anchoring. He has to organize a mechanical repair squadron and a diving squadron to carry out emergency repairs and rescue."

Han Yu paused and continued: "Furthermore, many officers and soldiers participating in the exercise were seasick at the beginning, some officers and soldiers were not accustomed to the climate, and some even fell ill. Although there is a health team on the island and even a field hospital, the troops participating in the exercise

The health teams and field hospitals are overwhelmed, so he wants to organize our medical team to help with treatment."

Director Xu knew very well that Han Yu could reveal only so much, so he asked the most important question: "Xianyu, can Lao Qin achieve third-class merit this time?"

"have no idea."

"Aren't you an observer? An observer is equivalent to a referee. How could you not know that?"

"The exercise is in progress, and the superiors are busy summarizing the shortcomings and problems exposed in the exercise. They don't even think about merit evaluation and awards now."

"The exercise is still going on?"

"Um."

"How long does it take to get it done?"

"have no idea."

Sister Zhu remembered what her husband had said when he was watching the news the night before. She raised her head and said, "It seems that the military exercise will not end for a while. When it will end depends on whether Taiwan will give in or not."

Han Yu nodded: "Maybe, it should be."

It is not easy to know so many "inside stories". Director Xu did not dare to ask any more. While inviting Han Yu to drink tea, he smiled and said: "Xiang Ning told us that you want to participate in the accident investigation. Zhu and I told you."

The bureau knows that you can't help yourself."

"Xu Ju, Zhu Ju, I'm sorry for embarrassing you."

"It's not difficult."

Director Xu looked up at Han Xiangning and said meaningfully: "Xianyu, although you are the PSC inspection consultant of our bureau, the upcoming accident investigation is not a ship safety inspection. It is not appropriate to participate as a consultant. I can only wrong you.

Participating as a translator, our bureau happens to be short of talents who can understand English."

Han Yu was happy and grinned: "You can also be a translator."

Sister Zhu asked curiously: "Xianyu, you said you came back on leave. So after the accident investigation is over, you still want to go back and continue to be an observer?"

"What is there to observe about the militia reserve force? I am an observer in name only. Now I am more like a member of the propaganda team than an observer. I am busy all day reporting on flood fighting and rescue deeds to the officers and soldiers participating in the exercise."

"It's good to talk about your deeds in fighting floods and rescue operations. You are a model in fighting floods."

"Sister Zhu, it's not as beautiful as you think. When it comes to flood-fighting models, there are many flood-fighting models on the island. Their deeds are more touching than the deeds of our Linghai Reserve Battalion. They wrote suicide notes when they were fighting floods and rescue operations. We

I haven’t thought about this at all.”

"You are a marine policeman. You had a boat at that time and were so well prepared. Of course you wouldn't have thought of it."

"So we didn't even know what to talk about. The requirements of the general political leaders were very high, which made Ma Jintao and I very embarrassed. We had to rack our brains every day to think of how to make the speech touching."

"General political leader?"

"The propaganda team on battlefield flood fighting and rescue operations is under the general administration."

"You're so awesome, so you know the general political leaders!"

"It's not really a senior leader. The one who directly supervises us is a senior colonel with the rank of full-time teacher."

"Isn't it a big job to be a teacher?"

"It's not big. There are at least a hundred generals on the island in total. Major generals can't even be considered senior leaders, let alone regular divisions."

More than a hundred generals have been sent, which shows how many troops have been sent. It can be imagined that the superiors are well prepared for the crisis in the Taiwan Strait.

Sister Zhu was secretly frightened when she heard this. She didn't dare to ask any more questions and stood up immediately: "Xianyu, the superiors took the collision of Chinese and Korean freighters that happened the night before yesterday very seriously. The soup bureau has called us six times since yesterday morning.

, our bureau party committee studied and decided that Bureau Liu would personally serve as the investigation team leader, and Xiang Ning, Lao Guan and Lao Wu would also serve as deputy team leaders.

You have traveled across the ocean, been to the sea, seen the world, and know more about international conventions than we do. Although you are assisting the investigation as a translator, you cannot really bring only ears and eyes. If you find some problems that we have not discovered during the investigation

, remind us in time.”

Director Xu was convinced and patted his arm: "This is an international maritime dispute. Our superiors asked us to be responsible for the investigation instead of letting the Zhangjiagang Maritime Department investigate. This is the superior's trust in our Binjiang Maritime Bureau. With your participation, we feel that

On the contrary, it makes me feel more at ease.”

"I was hired by Zhonghai. I can't speak randomly."

"We can't trust others, so why can't we trust you? Besides, we are only responsible for investigating, not handling. As long as both parties agree on the investigation results, there will be no dispute."

There is definitely some controversy.

For example, does the Korean freighter have any responsibility in this collision? If so, how to divide the responsibility?

However, these disputes really have little to do with the Binjiang Maritime Safety Administration. Both parties to the accident will definitely go to court. Whether the Korean freighter is responsible or not will ultimately depend on how the maritime court mediates. If mediation fails, it will depend on how the judge decides.

However, some things cannot be rushed.

The shipping agent called and said that representatives of the Korean shipowners and people from the Korean Shipowners Mutual Insurance Association would not arrive until tomorrow morning. The capsized cargo ship on China Shipping's side was an offshore cargo ship, not an ocean-going cargo ship for foreign trade, so there was no mutual insurance for the Chinese shipowners.

The insurance association paid the money and only purchased the "hull insurance" from the commercial insurance company. We had to wait for the insurance company's people to arrive before investigating together.

Han Yu took a coast patrol boat with his senior sister to take a look at the river. After confirming that there was no fuel leakage, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then went to Binjiang Port Pier 6 to look at the damage to the Korean freighter "Yangmi" and followed up on the supervision.

The officers and soldiers at the border inspection station said hello and rushed to the smuggling crime branch without stopping to report their return to Deputy Commissioner Ma and Political Commissar Zhou.

It turned out that political commissar Ma Guan and Zhou, like the two leaders of the Maritime Safety Administration, were not very interested in the traffic accidents on the river. They were only concerned about the situation of boat 825 and the crew, and did not even bother to ask how boat 823 was doing.

Dealing with US warships is not a secret. It is said that the US has long protested, saying that Chinese maritime surveillance ships and anti-smuggling boats were "dangerously driven" and almost hit their warships.

Han Yu told the truth.

Deputy Commissioner Ma was very excited when he heard this. He stared at Han Yu and asked: "So our anti-smuggling boat has made great achievements!"

"Well, Deputy Commander Yu and Team Leader Fang of the East China Sea Fleet spoke highly of Jiang Shengqi, Guo Weitao and Xiao Gong. However, our 825 boat is not under the leadership of the army, and it is not performing tasks assigned by the exercise headquarters. The military region and fleet are not

It's unlikely they will be honored."

"The General Administration should know."

"I must know. The exercise headquarters has already informed the General Administration."

"As long as the General Administration knows."

As soon as Deputy Commissioner Ma finished speaking, the phone at his hand rang.

"Xianyu, drink tea, I'll take a call first."

"Ma Guan, you work first, I'll go out."

"Wait a minute, we're not done talking yet."

Deputy Commissioner Ma motioned Han Yu, who had just stood up, to sit down. He held up the phone and said with a smile: "Hello Hu Guan, Hu Guan, what are your instructions...is that right? It's confirmed to be held in our riverside, okay! We'll be responsible for hosting it.

I promise to prepare well and serve you well!”

Han Yu was confused when he heard this.

Zhou Huixin was the same and couldn't help but ask: "Ma Guan, what's going on? What are you hosting?"

Deputy Commissioner Ma put down the phone, looked at the two of them with a smile and said: "Hu Guan said that the General Administration and the General Administration are planning to hold a water anti-smuggling backbone training class, and they plan to hold it in our Binjiang!"

"The General Administration and the General Administration are coming to our Binjiang to hold training courses?"

"We have achieved great results, and the 825 boat has made great contributions. It is normal for this class to come to our Binjiang Office. The leaders of the General Administration and the General Administration will definitely attend the opening ceremony. Lao Zhou, we must prepare well."

"Did Hu Guan say when this training class will start?"

"The plan is to wait for the end of next month, probably because the military exercise is over and for the 823rd and 825th boats to return from their missions."

Deputy Commissioner Ma became more and more excited as he thought about it. He couldn't help patting Han Yu on the arm: "Xianyu, you have already organized a small class, so it should be no problem to run a large class. The party group meeting will be held later. You can attend it and study it carefully. You must hurry up.

It’s time to set up the conference committee first.”

Han Yu said with a bitter face: "Ma Guan, I don't understand conference affairs!"

"You can learn if you don't know. Besides, there is an office for logistics support work. You are mainly responsible for connecting with the Maritime Anti-smuggling Department of the General Administration. After all, the training class is to be held. What content needs to be trained, which leaders and experts in what fields should be invited.

You have to listen to the General Administration."
