Chapter 423: Is There Any Meaning?_3
Vice Director Ding curiously asked, "And then what happened?"
Chief Gao laughed heartily, "Turns out they said they found someone. When I asked where they got him from, they said from Binjiang, and the one they pulled in was Salted Fish."
The leaders were in high spirits, and Director Chen seized the opportunity to joke, "Salted Fish, so that means you've stolen Comrade Pei Dingyuan's business."
Han Yu didn't expect there to be such a story, quickly saying, "I really didn't know about these things."
It was already quite good to show one's face in front of the division leaders, let alone being just praised by them, so Captain Pei hurriedly reported, "Reporting to the leaders, for the task of maritime patrol, Comrade Han Yu is indeed more suitable than us."
Chief Gao laughed as he asked his subordinate, "Why? Is it because your military readiness and professional skills are not as good as Salted Fish's?"
"Reporting to Chief Gao, we are the border Coast Guard. Our jurisdiction is at sea, and we are more familiar with maritime conditions. As for the Yangtze River waterway west of Binjiang and the situation of Yangtze River Shipping, we are not very familiar with them. Therefore, for duty on the river, Comrade Han Yu is indeed more suitable than us."
"It really is a case of being good at different trades. I thought knowing how to steer a boat would be enough."
Chief Gao smiled faintly and patted Han Yu on the arm, "Comrade Salted Fish, I know you all have been working hard. Now that the mission is perfectly completed, return to sail early and get some rest soon."
"Yes, thank you, Chief Gao!"
In a while, a freighter is arriving at the port, so we can't occupy the dock space any longer.
Han Yu saluted the leaders again, ran back to boat 001, and ordered Chen Zikun, Zhang Ping, and Xiao Gong to cast off and set sail.
Unexpectedly, just after giving the order, his father-in-law emerged from the Command Cabin.
"Dad, when did you come aboard?"
"Just now."
Friend Han waved goodbye to the "rookie" with Chief Gao while laughingly saying, "I've worked continuously for a week, and the Police Bureau gave me two days off to rest, just in time to visit Han Han aboard the ship."
His father-in-law really liked his granddaughter, calling every day, and always visited Bailong Port whenever rest permitted.
Han Yu was used to it. Remembering his father-in-law had to work continuously for a week due to the typhoon, he subconsciously asked, "Dad, the typhoon made landfall from East Guang this time; was the damage severe there?"
"The economic loss was great, and quite a few people died."
"Didn't they have any preparations? How could the losses be so great?"
"The storm was also strong; after making landfall, the central wind force reached twelfth level, the wind speed exceeding one hundred eighty kilometers per hour."
Friend Han looked back at the slowly departing Coast Guard 3201 boat, thought for a moment, then said, "My old war buddy said that one of the Air Force airports there, perhaps due to insufficient preparation or possibly not taking the typhoon seriously, had a lot of jets parked in the open, resulting in ten newly equipped Su-27s, two Y-5s, and twelve J-7s suffering varying degrees of damage."
The Su-27s, imported from Russia, were not cheaper than the Big Shark he had helped to transport earlier this year.
Such damage to ten planes was a huge loss.
Han Yu could hardly believe it was true and was just about to ask how reliable this news was when Xiao Yu came up, brimming with excitement, "Salted Fish, Director Ding just praised me!"
"Which Director Ding?"
"The Director Ding of Changhang Police Bureau. Director Ding said I didn't shame the Police School, that I am the pride of the Police School!"
"Really?"
"Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, ask Director He later."
Xiao Yu smiled broadly and continued to bubble with enthusiasm: "Director He asked when I was returning, and I said the day after tomorrow, back to Hanwu. He said he's also taking a passenger ship back then and asked me to go with Xiao Chen and Xiao Xiao."
The instructor from the Yangtze River Shipping Police School was practically a direct subordinate of the Changhang navigation police. It was imaginable how in the eyes of Changhang Police Bureau leaders, Xiao Yu was indeed their "own."
Han Yu was somewhat reluctant when Political Commissioner Jiang's call came through the intercom.
"Political Commissioner, Han Yu speaking. What's the matter?"
"Director Ding wants Xiao Yu and the others to head back to Hanwu the day after tomorrow. Director He wants you to sort out the achievements and records of Xiao Yu and the six students as soon as you return, and to send it to me before it gets dark. Commendations take time, and we'll see if we can manage it before Xiao Yu leaves for Hanwu."
The bureau leadership is truly thoughtful!
Han Yu felt happier than if he had received personal honors and quickly replied, "Yes, I'll sort it out as soon as I get back."
