Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 406 - 287: The Alliance of Salted Fish (Part 1)

The two-day security mission greatly shocked Fang Guoya.

Although the direct superior was young, he knew quite a few leaders.

From the Port Supervision Bureau, Port Authority, Binjiang Customs, City Agricultural Bureau, and Water Police Division to the leaders of the newly upgraded Binjiang Shipping Academy, as well as places like Bisha Ferry, Lingda Car Ferry, Yingchuan Port, and Bailong Port where the sluice gates are related to the Yangtze River, there wasn’t a responsible person he didn’t know.

And it was not just about knowing them; he was very familiar with them.

There’s a saying, "like a fish takes to water," which in the case of his boss isn’t just metaphorical—he is literally a fish, a fish born on the river, grew up on the river, and has been working on the river since graduation!

Unable to match others in professional skills and even less so in connections.

Fang Guoya’s sense of superiority completely dissipated, no longer daring to see himself solely as a professional firefighter, he adjusted his attitude and spent time training to combat seasickness, humbly learning waterborne operational skills from Zhang Ping and Gong Jian.

However, Water Firefighting Team is different from land-based fire brigades, and when they do not have firefighting tasks, they can’t focus solely on training and studying like those on land.

On the third day after completing the security mission, the Water Firefighting Team faced the annual "eel catching battle," joining forces with the Fishery Administration, Port Supervision, and Water Police Station to crack down on illegal eel fry fishing.

Daily patrols on the river stretching east to the estuary, and west to Lingda Car Ferry, never returning from a patrol empty-handed.

For many years, various enforcement agencies on the river have been cracking down, yet many are still driven by profit to take risks and commit crimes against the wind. The only difference now is they no longer act as blatantly as before, opting instead for guerrilla tactics against law enforcement on the river.

By yesterday afternoon, forty-three vessels involved in illegal eel fry fishing were seized, over five hundred fixed nets confiscated and removed, assisting in the punishment of over one hundred eighty individuals suspected of illegal eel fry fishing, and six were administratively detained.

Xiao Yu went to Hanwu for new police officer training.

In the team, only "Director Yu" knew how to operate 001, but as the Deputy Division Commander, he couldn’t focus solely on piloting, so an old driver from Linghai Shipping Company, recommended by Captain Wang who previously worked at Yanjiang Police Station, came to help with piloting at the Water Firefighting Team.

With the arrival of Captain Fan, Director Yu had to go onshore, but he was busier than before.

He first accompanied Director Zhang to visit Changhang Guzhou Branch and Guzhou City Water Police Division across the river, then quickly followed Deputy Director Jiang, who oversees firefighting, to the East Sea.

They visited the East Sea Marine Bureau, Marine Police Bureau, and Changhang East Sea Branch.

The day before yesterday morning, he called back saying that under the leadership of the Marine Police Bureau, they were visiting the Water Police Team at the East Sea Fire Department, even planning to take a real look at some major docks in East Sea Port...

After throwing up for a week, having vomited everything he could, Fang Guoya was no longer seasick, but after spending a whole week on the ship, eating and sleeping poorly, he couldn’t handle the high-intensity waterborne law enforcement.

As 001 approached the "antique," he hurriedly tied the ropes and rushed back to the dorm, not wanting to move once he lay down, while Xiao Gong helped to take his several sets of dirty laundry from 001.

"Brother Fang, there’s hot water in the solar water heater, take a bath before sleeping."

"I’ll lay down for a while, I’ll take a bath later."

"Then I’ll go wash first."

"Go ahead."

As Xiao Gong left, the young "Boss Lady" came knocking on the door.

"What’s up, Sister Han?" Fang Guoya quickly sat up.

Han Xiangning handed over a note, smiling at the door, "The day before yesterday afternoon, someone called you, last name Qin, said he was your comrade-in-arm."

"Oh, I know who that is, thank you Sister Han."

"You’re welcome."

Han Xiangning smiled and then said, "Salted Fish took the high-speed passenger boat back this afternoon, he should be on the boat by now. Before boarding, he called saying Director Zhang, Director Peng from Water Police Station, and Director Zhu from Port Supervision Bureau are coming tomorrow."

Fang Guoya asked subconsciously, "Leaders are coming for inspection tomorrow?"

Thinking of this day last year when his junior brother’s master passed away right on this dunship, Han Xiangning sadly said, "It’s not really an inspection, just coming to the dunship to take a look."

Fang Guoya said hastily, "Then I won’t go back tonight."

Zhang Ping and Xiao Gong also received the notice, both somewhat confused.

Not until the next morning, seeing Vice Director Zhu from the Port Supervision Bureau holding fresh flowers, Director Zhang from their own division with two bottles of vintage wine, the direct superior’s senior fellow with his wife and child, and the two solemn-watered heads from Water Police Station, did the three realize that today was the anniversary of the deceased Xu Sanye, the first director of Yanjiang Police Station.

Li Weiguo, the first Instructor of Yanjiang Police Station, and Zhang Mingyuan, the second director, came.

Zhou Hong, the first Director of Water Police Station, now Vice Director of City Agricultural Bureau, came.

Deputy Director Zeng from Customs came.

Director Liu and Master Jiang from Bailong Port Police Station, being closest, arrived first.

Raising the flag is a weekly Monday event for the Water Fire Rescue Team, today is not Monday, but the ceremony went ahead.

After raising the flag on the "antique," under Director Zhang’s command, everyone turned to the right as one.

Sister Zhu and Han Xiangning distributed the flowers, one for each person, starting with Director Zhang, they each walked to the side of the ship, bending down to place the flowers into the river.

Then, under Director Zhang’s order, they collectively saluted the surging river waters!

Fang Guoya clearly noticed tears welling up in Director Zhang’s eyes, his young direct superior and his senior brother were even more tearful.
