Riverside police

Chapter 866 Escort Captain!

Xiaoyu didn't become addicted to studying, but became addicted to playing computer games!

This is not a trivial matter. His addiction to computer games not only affects his work, but also affects the relationship between husband and wife. Han Yu feels that Xiaoyu cannot be allowed to indulge anymore.

As soon as I got home, I called Liu Guixiang, Director Zhao and others, and suggested that it be best to use a two-pronged approach in investigating the Jiangshang system theft case.

The investigation continues as usual on the shore, and at the same time, forces must be organized to stay on the river.

The recent series of theft cases, although the amounts involved are not that big compared to the previously solved cases of self-defense theft, but the impact is very bad.

Moreover, New Year's Day is coming soon, and after New Year's Day is the Spring Festival. If the case is not solved as soon as possible, how can the crew have a stable and peaceful Spring Festival?

Liu Guixiang and Zhao Hongxing thought it was feasible, and Li Jun arranged for border armed police to participate in the squatting.

Although Xiaoyu is a deputy section-level cadre like Liu Guixiang, Liu Guixiang is the deputy chief of the criminal investigation detachment, and the case he is investigating has extremely negative impact, so he was transferred to the "joint task force" by Liu Guixiang and began to watch day and night.

Yuzhen was very happy and called Han Yu to express her gratitude.

Just when Han Yu was dumbfounded by the two of them, Deputy Commander Yu of the East China Sea Base and Staff Officer Wu of the Naval Headquarters rushed to Binjiang. After paying condolences to the seniors who were retiring in their old age at the sanatorium, they rushed to the rescue ship brigade without stopping. Attend the commendation ceremony.

Secretary Lu went to the province for a meeting, and Mayor Wang was not at home. Vice Mayor Qin and the leaders of the military division accompanied him.

Although the commendation ceremony was brief, it was still grand. Deputy Commander Yu personally read out the merit-recording order and personally awarded medals and certificates to Han Yu and other officers and men of the rescue ship brigade.

As for the bonus, it will be distributed by Binjiang Naval Rest Station.

Staff Officer Wu was entrusted by the Naval Political Department to award honorary certificates of "Excellent Reserved Officers" and "Excellent Reserved Soldiers" to eight reserve officers and soldiers, including Han Yu.

Deputy Commander Yu is a major general. When the general comes, the military division must receive him.

The dinner was arranged by the military division and did not cost the rescue boat brigade.

After dinner, Deputy Mayor Qin, Commander Wang, and Political Commissar Chen accompanied Deputy Commander Yu to upgrade, while Han Yu came to Staff Wu's room and chatted with Staff Wu.

"Brother, I'll take advantage of you this time."

"Is there any mistake? You are the staff officer of the headquarters. It's not enough for me to take advantage of you."

"I'm not kidding you." Staff Wu touched his forehead and said with an embarrassed look: "On the night of the earthquake, if I hadn't gone to your boat to have a meal, I wouldn't have had the chance to achieve second-class merit."

"You have achieved second-class merit!"

"Well, it's not just me, but also Lao Wang and Lao Liu."

"It's time to catch up. You happened to be at the anchorage during the earthquake, and you have the highest position. Of course, you have to organize the rescue."

There are so many officers participating in the exercise, including hundreds of generals. It is not easy to stand out in the exercise!

Staff Officer Wu was grateful to Han Yu from the bottom of his heart. He was really happy to see Han Yu, but he felt it was hypocritical to express his gratitude. He simply smiled and asked: "Xianyu, are you not interested in the Olympics?"

Han Yu was confused when asked, and said: "It's interesting and exciting to see our Chinese athletes win gold medals, but I'm not very interested in sports."

"not interested?"

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. I didn't see a table tennis table until I was in junior high school, and I didn't see anyone playing football until I was in technical secondary school. The primary school I went to in a rural area had nothing. When I was young, I was poor and couldn't afford a racket. I went to school early. , I’m short, not to mention that I wasn’t taught how to play basketball when I was in school, even if I was taught, it wouldn’t be my turn.”

Han Yu thought about it and smiled: "You said the Olympics, won't they be held next year?"

"It's next year."

"If I remember correctly, next year's Olympic Games will be held in Sydney. What does this have to do with us?"

Staff Officer Wu smiled and said: "If you are interested in the Olympics, you will have to watch it every day, and you will not be able to travel far or do anything else. If you are not interested in these, you can travel far away then."

Han Yu reacted and asked happily: "Where are you going? There will be exercises next year?"

"I don't know whether there will be exercises next year. I only know that we will organize two fleet formations to visit next year, one fleet will visit cities such as Seattle in the United States, and one fleet will visit Africa."

"Can you take me to see the world?"

Staff Officer Wu hesitated for a moment and said with a bit of embarrassment: "I'm not taking you to see the world, but if you are interested, you can take us on a long trip."

"I'll take you, are you kidding me?"

"I'm really not kidding." Staff Wu took a deep breath and asked, "Everyone knows that Zengmu Shoal belongs to China, but do you know when our navy first went to Zengmu Shoal?"

Han Yu was stopped by the question and shook his head slightly.

Staff Officer Wu smiled bitterly and said: "In May 1983, our fleet formation lasted 30 days and nights, with a voyage of 6,720 nautical miles, and arrived at Zengmu Shoal for the first time. Among the ships in the formation was the 'Binjiang Ship' named after your Binjiang!"

For as long as I can remember, my teacher has said that the Zengmu Shoal belongs to China, but the navy ships that came and went did not go there until May 1983. This is really disappointing.

Han Yuzheng didn't know what to say. Staff Wu continued: "You know our situation. We rarely travel far. We are not familiar with the routes, sea currents and ports along the route. We don't know what to do when encountering some emergencies. How to deal with it? I don’t understand international conventions, and my English is not very good, so every time I visit, I have to ask the Ministry of Transportation to arrange garrison liaison officers, that is, escort captains like Teacher Xia and Teacher Wang.”

"Have you never been to Africa before?"

"No, this is the first time."

"How long will it take?"

"We will visit countries such as Malaysia along the way and it is expected to take two months."

Escort captains generally come from the maritime system and navigation schools. They are mainly responsible for communicating with the search and rescue center of the Ministry of Transport and the maritime affairs and ports of the countries along the route. When passing through busy waterways such as the Strait of Malacca, they must communicate with merchant ships from various countries that are also sailing on the sea. Ensure safe navigation.

Maritime system staff and navigation school teachers who are qualified to serve as "escort captains" are mainly from shipping companies such as COSCO and are all experienced captains.

Due to the relationship between salary and social status, most experienced captains are not willing to work in the Maritime Safety Administration, nor are they willing to teach in navigation colleges. After all, they have little room for advancement whether in the maritime system or in colleges.

In short, there are not many candidates who can perform this task.

Thinking of this, Han Yu couldn't help but smile and asked: "I can go, am I qualified?"

"Although you are not a first-class captain of a sea-going ship, your qualifications are there. Even the big shark has participated in the transfer. As long as you are willing, your superiors will definitely agree."

"How big is the visiting formation?"

"It's not big. It consists of two ships, a guided missile frigate and a supply ship."

"are you going?"

"The ships of the visiting fleet are drawn from the fleet. Although a command post for the visiting fleet needs to be temporarily established, the personnel in the command post mainly come from the fleet, leaving very few places for the headquarters. Originally, I had no chance. Because of your glory, I immediately I got second-class merit, and my superiors decided to arrange for me to go on an overseas trip next year.”

“To the United States or to Africa?”

"It's my turn to go to the United States. I can only go to Africa."

Having not been abroad for many years, Han Yuzhen felt a little restless. He looked at him with a smile and asked, "Do I really have a chance to be an escort captain?"

Staff Officer Wu smiled and confirmed: "Team Leader Fang is responsible for the preparations before the trip. The thing I just mentioned is what Team Leader Fang asked me to ask you."

"Is Team Leader Fang going?"

"Go, he is the political commissar of the visiting formation."

"Who is the commander?"

"The ships of the fleet going to Africa are drawn from the South China Sea Fleet, and the commander of the visiting fleet is conventionally served by the chief of staff of the South China Sea Fleet."

Teacher Xia served as the escort captain of the Xuelong scientific research ship.

Mr. Wang served as the escort captain of a naval formation on its first round-the-world voyage.

Han Yu is both an anti-smuggling policeman and a sailor. If he used to think that pilots were the best among captains, now he feels that only those who have served as an "escort captain" for a scientific expedition team or the navy are the best among captains!

This is a sailor’s highest pursuit, even a dream.

The more Han Yu thought about it, the more excited he became. He chuckled and said, "If you're interested, count me in!"

"Then you should seize the time to study the route and the port conditions along the way."

"No problem. We have a shipping management company in Binjiang, even in our hometown of Linghai. I know many captains, and I can learn from them with an open mind."

"Furthermore, you cannot board the ship as an anti-smuggling police officer, nor can you perform tasks as a reserve officer. You must quickly think of a way to communicate with your alma mater to see if you can participate in the selection as a training teacher at your alma mater."

"Why?"

"We can't go around the Department of Transportation. If we find someone ourselves this time, they won't help us next time."

Every time they go on a long journey, they have to ask the Ministry of Transportation to arrange an experienced captain as a guide. It is not appropriate to bypass the Ministry of Transportation on this trip.

Han Yu understood and said proudly: "There is no problem with our alma mater. I was originally a special lecturer of our school. I used to give lectures often, and the school even paid me lecture fees!"

"And extra money!"

"uh-huh."

"You're so awesome, by the way, what are you going to talk about when you go back to school?"

"I started talking about ship fire safety, and then I talked about how to deal with PSC inspections and international conventions."

"Why don't you talk about it now?"

"I don't have time now, but my wife often talks about it. She has just been transferred to the Changzhou Maritime Safety Department. Before the transfer, she was the security inspection section chief of our Binjiang Maritime Safety Bureau, and she was responsible for PSC inspections."

"You two can survive on water!" Staff Wu was envious and patted his arm: "Brother, this matter has been settled. I will report to Team Leader Fang when I get back."

"It's settled. I haven't been abroad for several years, so I'd like to take this opportunity to go out and broaden my horizons."

“Visiting overseas is different from transporting sharks. When the time comes, we will be warmly welcomed by overseas Chinese and representatives of Chinese-funded institutions along the way. The ambassador will personally go to the dock to greet us. We will even hold a deck reception on the ship and invite local Chinese and overseas Chinese to come on board. Visiting the ship, the scene is exciting just thinking about it, you will definitely not regret it.”

"I don't regret transporting the shark, but you are right, traveling is more interesting than transporting the shark."

PS: Every time a naval formation visits or performs an ocean mission, there is an "escort captain" arranged by the transportation system.

In the beginning, veteran captains with rich navigation experience were asked to "lead the way." Now, "escort captains" are mainly responsible for communicating and coordinating with merchant ships. For example, escort in the Gulf of Aden requires professionals to communicate with merchant ships.

From being a guide who never dared to go out to taking on the responsibility of a major country to escort merchant ships from various countries, it is a huge progress!
