Riverside Police.

001 followed Hong Feng back to Hanwu, and had a new mission just after completing the supplies.

Two experts from the Ministry of Water Resources had learned about the flood control and rescue work in Hanwu, and they were going to learn about the situation in the Jingjiang section of the Yangtze River. Due to the continuous rain, the river embankment road was soft and muddy, making it difficult to drive across, so they had to take a boat.

Last night, there was a tributary of the Jingjiang section connected to the Yangtze River, and there were many dangerous water seepage pipes on its embankment.

This is like fighting a war. The flood cannot break through the main dike of the Yangtze River, so it "detours" to attack the dikes of the tributaries of the Yangtze River.

If the river embankment is breached by it, it is unknown how many people will be displaced. No matter how well the dry embankment is defended, it is useless.The leader of the Water Conservancy Department received a report that they needed to take a boat to lead water conservancy experts to guide the emergency rescue.

As a water conservancy expert of the Yangtze River Committee, Xi not only has to report the situation to the experts of the Ministry of Water Resources, but also guides the local flood control department to deal with emergencies.

The three groups of people gathered together in this way, and took 001 to go upstream.

In normal times, experts from the Ministry of Water Resources and the leaders of the Beihu Water Resources Department would definitely be curious about how the public security law enforcement boats from Binjiang came to Beihu.

But now is not normal. The leader of the Water Conservancy Department has two mobile phones, ringing one after another, and they are busy answering them as soon as they get on the boat. Almost all of them are emergency calls related to emergency situations. Some need emergency supplies and others need emergency supplies. For mechanical engineering equipment, some even requested to send the People's Liberation Army to support them.

Experts from the Ministry of Water Resources also make phone calls every now and then.

Xigong and Xugong didn't want to affect their work. Seeing that the rain had stopped, they simply walked to the rear deck, sat down on the bench that Zhu Baogen often sat on, leaned against the bulkhead and closed their eyes to rest.

The "Land Lord" Xiao Chen was in charge of night duty, and now he couldn't sleep again, squatting on the stern deck and playing with the telescope as usual.

It is very close to that tributary, and the river leading to the tributary is as endless as the sea, where water and sky are connected.

Under the action of the wind, the river water is like an enraged beast, trying to tear the river embankment open.The river embankment trembled, stood upright and struggled under the impact of the flood.

Through the binoculars, we can clearly see the people guarding the embankment and rushing to the river embankment.

It is conceivable that the soil was taken from the inside of the river embankment. They had to carry up the river embankment along the steep embankment first, and then they could build a new white embankment on the top of the embankment that could not be seen as far as the eye could see.

It's hard work, it's not easy.

Xiao Chen had never seen such a scene before coming to Beihu with Mr. Xi. He put down the binoculars to look at the direction when he came, and asked in puzzlement: "Mr. Xi, the river embankment we saw on the way from Hanwu, Why is it not as strong as Hanwu as you go west?"

"Hanwu is a big city with a large population and many large and medium-sized enterprises. Naturally, the river embankment must be better built."

Worker Xi rubbed his eyes, put on his glasses, and continued, "The Jingjiang Embankment is the most important embankment of the Yangtze River. It is national-level and has been included in the national project. Some funds have been allocated by the state for renovation. The dikes are wide, the slopes are neat, and the flood control materials are abundant. The embankments of the Honghu section and the Jianli section are provincial embankments, and the investment is insufficient, so they are not as strong as the Jingjiang embankment."

"But they all belong to the main embankment of the Yangtze River."

"Although they all belong to the main embankment of the Yangtze River, they are treated differently at different levels, and the results of their repairs are naturally different." Xi Gong paused, and sighed softly: "Ten thousand is still money."

Xiao Chen couldn't help asking: "Are the embankments of our Binjiang divided into national and provincial levels?"

Worker Xi shook his head: "No distinction."

"why?"

"Your Binjiang belongs to a coastal economically developed area. The state has invested very little in Binjiang and even the entire Jiangnan Province's Yangtze River embankment. It is all invested and repaired by your province, city and county."

"Mr. Xi, are you saying that the state gave us more money to build embankments in Jiangnan Province than Beihu Lake?"

"No."

"Why?"

Before Mr. Xi could speak, Xu Gong patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder: "You have a developed economy and you are rich! Besides, what does the Yangtze River look like on your side, and what does the Yangtze River here look like? In your hometown, it is Qiguai. There are more corners in the eight corners, and there are more dangerous sections, so the country will naturally invest more in this area."

Xi Gong said in a low voice: "Although the country has invested in the renovation of the dry embankments in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the little money invested is still a drop in the bucket."

Seeing that Xiao Chen was a little unconvinced, Xu Gong couldn't help laughing and said: "In fact, the money invested by the state here also comes from your coastal areas."

"But we have no money, my monthly salary is only three hundred and two!"

"Just because you get three hundred and two a month doesn't mean that others also get three hundred and two. You have a lot of rich people there. Besides, three hundred and two is already a lot. Many township cadres here don't earn as much as you do."

"Really, how can the salary of a cadre be lower than mine?"

"What are you lying to, and you can't get it every month. If you don't believe me, you can ask the cadres on the shore later."

……

001 quickly entered the tributary and safely arrived at the river where the danger occurred.

Leaders at the county and township levels have been waiting for a long time to help build a springboard to pick up experts from the Ministry of Water Resources and leaders of the Water Resources Department ashore.

Captain Fan and Zhu Baogen, under the command of Yao Lirong, used the underwater surveying and mapping equipment on board 001 to assist XCMG in surveying the underwater part of the embankment to see if they could find any loopholes that lead to dangerous piping.

Xiao Chen and Liu Wei stayed on the boat for too long, so they went ashore together, wanting to get down to earth.

I didn't expect to go ashore and see that there were people all over the embankment and under the embankment.

Most of them are nearby people, and most of them are middle-aged and elderly people.

With straw hats on their heads, armbands on their arms, and wooden sticks in their hands, they went up to the top of the embankment and down to the field four to five hundred meters from the foot of the embankment, row by row, and carefully searched every grassy slope behind the embankment. Woods, rice fields and houses.

The sun is scorching during the day, mosquitoes bite at night, sometimes it rains heavily, and sometimes it is unbearably hungry and thirsty.But behind them is their homeland, even if they are sick and fainted, they still have to get up and persevere.

The piping point is about 200 meters away from the embankment, and more than a dozen water gushing points have been surrounded by cadres and masses with sandbags to form a piece the size of a basketball court.

The sandbags are more than two meters high and one meter wide, forming a large circular pool.

Nearly a hundred young and strong laborers are busy laying geotextiles or transporting sand and gravel under the organization of cadres.The sand and mud particles are trapped between the gravel and the seepage channel, and the seepage water is gradually changing from muddy to clear.

Inside the door to see the door, the layman to watch the fun.

Although Xiao Chen and Liu Wei are not experts in water conservancy and their education levels are not high, they have participated in the flood control skills training organized by the camp. Seeing this situation, they were immediately terrified.

Because several water pumps stand there pumping chugs, but the water in the "pool" seems to be endless.

This means that the amount of water seeping is large, and the water level inside and outside the dike has been balanced.If the leakage point cannot be found on the outside of the embankment in time and plugging measures are taken in time, the piping like this will be difficult to stop and will continue to expand until the embankment bursts!
A county leader was worried that the experts from the Ministry of Water Resources could not understand the local dialect, so he said anxiously in local Mandarin with a strong accent: "The difficulty in dealing with pipe surges here is not because of its multiple occurrences and large scale, but mainly because of the water embankment. The slope is steep, and the water in front of the embankment is deep and fast, no matter how many stones we throw, it is difficult to pile up..."

Although there is a tributary outside the embankment, the current is really fast.

001 is refitted with a tugboat, with high horsepower, it can be called a "small steel cannon", and it is so affected by the current when sailing and berthing.If it is a cargo ship of [-] tons, it will be very difficult to go upstream, and it will be even more difficult to keep still on the water so that people can throw stones to plug the leak.

The two were secretly worried about the tens of thousands of people living behind the embankment, when they heard the county leader complaining to the leader of the Water Resources Department in front.

They are short of everything now, and they have nothing to ask for. Even the woven bags for filling the soil are brought from home by the masses spontaneously.

Seeing that almost none of them were wearing life jackets, Xiao Chen couldn't help but pull a person who looked like a cadre and asked, "Brother, don't you have a reserve for flood control materials?"

"No."

"I didn't prepare flood control materials in advance!"

"..."

The middle-aged cadre stared at Xiao Chen, thinking why not eat minced meat?

Xiao Chen didn't know what he was thinking, so he turned around and pointed to the embankment: "Why don't you find a ship with a larger tonnage and more horsepower to transport stones? The big ship can stop, and you can throw stones directly on the river to the foot of the embankment."

Where to find the big ship, and where do the stones come from...

The middle-aged cadre was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but this kid was probably the leader's entourage, so he couldn't offend him, so he turned his head and left.

Xiao Chen realized that he had hit a snag, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

At this time, the leaders of the Water Conservancy Department basically understood the situation. Under the advice of the accompanying water conservancy experts and workers, they immediately called to mobilize the ships and supplies needed for emergency rescue, but they couldn't get up quickly.

Now there is an emergency everywhere, and the emergency resources that can be deployed are limited. It is really stretched, so that we have to "queue", and the emergency supplies needed here will not be in place until tomorrow evening at the earliest.

In a blink of an eye, it was dark.

Local cadres provided dinner for the leaders.

Dinner was very simple, rice with a few long pickled peppers. All the rescuers were the same, and they all squatted on the spot to eat.

This food is much worse than that of 001.

Xiao Chen was not used to eating, and saw that Mr. Xi and Mr. Xu were eating there, so he could only bite the bullet and follow suit.

Back on the boat, looking at the expectant faces of the cadres and masses who saw him off, Xiao Chen muttered, "Why is there nothing? This plumbing danger seems very serious, but if it were our battalion, at most three The battle can be resolved in an hour, there is no need to wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, let alone worry about it.”

He does not mean that.

The worried expert from the Water Conservancy Department turned around and asked, "Young man, can you seal the leak within three hours?"

"I can't block it alone, I mean our battalion."

"What battalion?"

"Our Linghai Reserve Battalion, if you don't believe me, ask Mr. Xi and Mr. Xu."

"Xi Gong, isn't this young man joking?"

Mr. Xi was silent for a moment, and smiled wryly, "Xiao Chen is not bragging. If they camped here, it might not take three hours to deal with such a dangerous situation."

The leader of the Water Conservancy Department also heard it, and couldn't believe his ears, so he doubted: "Mr. Xi, can you be more specific."

"Xiao Chen is not only an employee of the Linghai Port Tugboat Company in Jiangnan Province, but also a reserve soldier of the Linghai Reserve Battalion. Their reserve battalion is based on the requirements of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Government, and the Jiangnan Provincial Military Region, relying on more than a dozen large units along the river and the Mausoleum A mobile assault battalion for flood control and emergency rescue established by the Sea Economic and Technological Development Zone."

Worker Xi unscrewed the teacup and took a sip of water, then said: "If you use military terms, they should belong to the amphibious rescue force. They can not only recruit engineering ships on water, but also use engineering machinery and transport vehicles on shore, unlike us Flood control here depends entirely on manpower.”

Deputy Director Xu asked curiously: "What kind of engineering ships do they have, and what engineering machinery can they use?"

"They can call a high-power tugboat at any time. That tugboat was built by our Hanwu Waterway Shipyard, and the cost is as high as more than 600 million. The floating crane can be used to transfer the goods on the [-]-ton freighter to the inland river freighter. That kind of floating pier can even call a steam ferry."

A tugboat is worth more than 1000 million yuan, who can afford it!
And even if you want to adjust, there are not many in Beihu Province.

Because it is said that a [-]-ton freighter can sail to Hanwu, but in fact, due to the relationship between the depth of the water and the height of the Yangtze River Bridge, almost no [-]-ton freighter will sail to Hanwu.

Long-term shipping can be said to be based on Jiangcheng, the capital of Jiangnan Province. Freighters with a capacity of less than [-] tons in Jiangcheng can be used for navigation, but in fact, the tonnage will not exceed [-] tons. Freighters with a larger tonnage are generally unloaded and barged at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

From Jiangcheng to Hanwu, only cargo ships under [-] tons are navigable.

No such large freighter will come over, so naturally there is no need for such a powerful tugboat.

Deputy Director Xu was secretly sighing that this is not a good comparison. There is no such condition here, Xi Gong continued: "The construction machinery on the shore is also very complete. There are only two large imported excavators of the [-]-ton class, which are said to be worth several dollars. Millions. They also have loaders, bulldozers, and an earthmoving fleet of dump trucks and dump tractors."

"They have excavators!"

"Ah."

Worker Xi nodded and added: "They have a water transport fleet, and even a water logistics support fleet. There are refueling boats, water plant boats, cooking boats, and two boats that can accommodate hundreds of people on the water. Even the Bingjiang Public Security 001 that I borrowed can be counted as the equipment in their battalion.”

As for the reserves, Beihu also has them.

The reserve pontoon and bridge regiment of the Beihu Provincial Military Region is fully equipped and well-trained. It can be said to be an assault force for flood prevention and rescue.But compared with others, at least in terms of equipment, it has to be left a few streets behind.

There is actually an excavator, and it is a large excavator of the [-]-ton class. There are not many in Hanwu, let alone the districts and counties below.

They are the first batch of open coastal cities, they are rich, and of course they have equipment, so there is really no way to compare with them...

Deputy Director Xu didn't want to ask any more, and felt uncomfortable after asking.

An expert from the Ministry of Water Resources asked curiously: "Mr. Xi, the flood situation in Jiangnan Province is not very severe. They just invested a lot of money in repairing the river and sea embankments last year. Would you say that the reserve battalion can be transferred to support?"

Xi Gong said without hesitation: "The fact that the flood situation in the south of the Yangtze River is not serious does not mean that there is no flood situation. People are also preventing floods. Who can speak up at this juncture? Besides, the reserve force is also a force. If you want to transfer the Linghai reserve battalion, you don't just cross the border. The province is also across the military region!"

The Beihu Provincial Military Region will definitely not be able to transfer troops from the Jiangnan Provincial Military Region.

The Beihu Provincial Military Region is under the Guangzhou Military Region, while the Jiangnan Provincial Military Region is under the Nanjing Military Region. That is to say, the Guangzhou Military Region cannot mobilize the Linghai Reserve Battalion.

In other words, although the Linghai Reserve Battalion is only a battalion-level unit, if you want to transfer the Linghai Reserve Battalion, you have to go through the Central Y Army W!

Thinking of this, experts from the Ministry of Water Resources also realized that it was unrealistic to call someone over to help.

Xu Gong suddenly remembered what Zou Ju and Hua Zhang said, and his eyes lit up: "Xi Gong, the Linghai Reserve Battalion is not only established on the basis of Linghai Development Zone, but also relies on Changhang Public Security Binjiang Branch, Changjiang Binjiang Port Supervision Bureau, The Binjiang Waterway Section of the Yangtze River Waterway Bureau, the Yangtze River Waterway Engineering Bureau, the Binjiang Communication Department of the Yangtze River Communications Bureau, and other units and port and shipping companies such as the Binjiang Port Authority. Even our Hydrographic Bureau is their joint construction unit. It can be said that the Linghai Reserve Battalion has Half of the 'equity' of several of our Yangtze River units!"

It's raining again upstream and there's likely to be another flood peak before long.

The first time Hong Feng was sent away without any risk, the next time Hong Feng arrives may not be as lucky as this time.

Deputy Director Xu felt that there was hope to transfer, so he stared at Mr. Xi and asked, "Can you please ask the Yangtze River Defense Command to communicate and coordinate with the Jiangnan Provincial Defense Command?"

Experts from the Ministry of Water Resources agreed deeply, and said: "Mr. Xi, your Yangtze River Committee is not only responsible for the North Lake section of the Yangtze River, but the entire Yangtze River. The Jiangnan Provincial Defense Command should give the Yangtze River Defense Command this face."

"Xie Gong, this matter is not as simple as you think. They have so many mechanized equipment on the water and on the shore, and the total value is estimated to be 6000 to 6000 million. Not to mention that they are also preventing floods. Even if they don't need flood prevention, it will not be easy. Lend [-] to [-] million worth of equipment to Xu Ting!"

These leaders are truly whimsical.

Mr. Xi muttered secretly, and emphasized: "Even if the Jiangnan Provincial Defense Command is willing to help us communicate and coordinate with the Jiangnan Provincial Military Region, the Jiangnan Provincial Military Region will not issue this order easily. After all, most of the equipment is from the enterprises and institutions in the districts and counties below. It is not assigned to the troops by the superiors."

An expert from the Ministry of Water Resources murmured, "The only way to say this is to report."

"This will alarm the Chinese Y Army W!"

"The general staff is a member of the defense general."

"It's not realistic or appropriate."

Thousands of miles of Yangtze River, dangerous in Jingjiang!
The experts from the Ministry of Water Resources were really worried about the embankment of the Jingjiang River. They clenched their fists tightly and said, "When is it? How can there be so many suitable? As for whether it is unrealistic, you will only know if you try it!"

Deputy Director Xu became more and more excited as he listened, and subconsciously took out his mobile phone: "Let me first ask the Yangtze River Defense Command and the Yangtze River Navigation Bureau. shares, then the Yangtze River Defense Command and the Yangtze River Navigation Bureau can justifiably ask the superiors to transfer them over!"

Is there any mistake, you really dare to think.

I have borrowed 001 from others for more than a month, and I am very embarrassed. You actually want to borrow a camp worth 6000 to [-] million...

Foreman Xi was getting older, and he thought that if Deputy Director Xu really asked, the leaders of several vertical management units on the Yangtze River would definitely help to apply to their superiors.

Because Hanwu is not only the Hanwu of Hanwu people, but also not only the provincial capital of Beihu, but also the headquarters of several major vertical management units on the Yangtze River!Now that the base camp is in jeopardy, and the Linghai Reserve Battalion has half of their "shares", they will definitely find ways to transfer the Linghai Reserve Battalion.

PS: A leader will visit my studio tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, I will accompany my wife to the hospital for a minor operation to remove the cyst. The update may be late, so I will tell my brothers and sisters first.
