Binjiang Police Affairs

Chapter 1505 - 278: Welcome Ceremony (Part 2)

He is in the Army and hasn’t had much interaction with the Navy, nor has he seen many naval warships, so it’s normal for him to feel this way.In fact, the Binjiang Ship is indeed quite small, to the point where the deck is "packed" with weaponry, making it look far from simple. Its stealth capability is imaginable, as the radar can detect it from a long distance, making it incomparable to the Shenzhen Ship.

Han Yu didn’t want to dampen everyone’s enthusiasm. After all, the Binjiang Ship belongs to Binjiang; who wouldn’t speak favorably of their own ship? He simply put the binoculars aside and laughed, "We probably won’t have a role to play next."

"Salted Fish, we’re watching here, you go down and take a look."

"What should I go down for?"

"You are a Navy Reserve Officer, and it’s thanks to you that the Binjiang Ship can come back for family visits. Don’t you want to go down and help introduce the leaders?" Minister Yang had always considered Han Yu like a nephew and didn’t want to miss this opportunity for him to shine.

Han Yu replied without thinking, "Secretary Lu, Mayor Wang, and Commander Wang visit every year. Every time they board the ship, the leadership of the Destroyer Squadron also receives them and accompanies them. They are familiar, there’s no need for me to introduce."

Minister Yang suddenly reacted, "Secretary Lu knows the officers and soldiers of the Binjiang Ship?"

Han Yu smiled, "At least the ship’s captain, political commissioner, and deputy captain, they know the main officers."

Vice Director Fan from the Municipal Public Security Bureau also asked curiously, "Salted Fish, isn’t the Binjiang Ship a missile frigate? Why is it managed by the Destroyer Squadron?"

"The Navy’s various fleets all have destroyer squadrons, with destroyer squadrons having destroyer teams and frigate teams. There isn’t a separate frigate squadron."

Han Yu paused, then continued, "Frigate teams composed solely of frigates are now rare; they’re generally mixed. Mixed with destroyers, it’s called a destroyer-frigate team, and mixed with anti-submarine boats, it’s called an anti-submarine frigate team. In short, the Navy’s organization differs from the Army’s; it’s all mixed based on combat needs."

Director Fan pursued further, "What level is the squadron?"

"The squadron is at the commander level."

"And the Binjiang Ship?"

"It seems to be regular army, possibly deputy army."

As they chatted idly, the Binjiang Ship was already slowly approaching the dock.

One could clearly see Qian Shiming, Qin Weiquan, and other Reserve Soldiers from the Rescue Boat Team standing at the dock, ready to assist with mooring.

The silver-grey warship, like a huge steel Sea Eagle flying from the depths of the ocean, gently swayed with the river waves. The sailors standing on the side involuntarily smiled, enjoying the warmth and enthusiasm of their hometown people. The officers at the bow saluted the homeland leaders on the shore from a distance, their excitement and joy evident.

Military music was powerful and impassioned, drums and salute cannons sounded loudly.

Old revolutionaries, old comrades, and various invited guests attending the welcome ceremony stood up like the leaders, applauding the Binjiang Ship as it berthed.

"Attention everyone, attention all units, salute the Binjiang Ship!"

With the order from Vice Director Fan, who was in charge of security, the public security police and Armed Police soldiers on the dock all saluted the Binjiang Ship in unison, with some giving hand salutes while the fully armed Armed Police soldiers held their rifles in attention salute.

Mr. Bao, who had never experienced such a grand scene, was moved to tears.

At this moment, he truly felt the pride of being a Chinese, because of a strong homeland!

The Binjiang Ship berthed at the dock.

Considering the difficulty of embarking and disembarking the ship, a gangway vehicle was specially borrowed from Binjiang Airport. The driver had been waiting for a long time, and under the direction of the site coordination staff, drove the gangway vehicle over immediately.

The four characters "Civil Aviation of China" on the gangway vehicle were too out of place, so they were repainted as "Chinese Navy" last night.

Mr. Bao, watching the 825 boat berthing behind the Binjiang Ship, clapped vigorously while curiously asking, "President Ge, didn’t they say only the Binjiang Ship was returning to Binjiang?"

"You mean that small warship behind?"

"Yes."

"That’s a customs anti-smuggling boat. Because the law enforcement personnel on the boat are all Reserve Soldiers from the Binjiang Naval Reserve Rescue Ship Brigade, in some instances or special missions, it can also be regarded as a naval vessel."

"I see, it’s somewhat like our auxiliary police in Hong Kong."

Auxiliary police in Hong Kong are just temporary workers, using auxiliary police as a description seems inappropriate.

Old Ge didn’t know how to explain, so he simply smiled, "I am part of the expert group of the Rescue Boat Team, and the Navy Rescue Boat Team was established with my involvement. After visiting the Binjiang Ship, I will accompany you to visit the 825 boat."

Mr. Bao looked back and curiously asked, "Can others visit the 825 boat?"

"Others certainly cannot, they can only visit the Binjiang Ship."

"How could I accept this?"

"With me here, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about."

Old Ge spoke offhandedly, but Mr. Bao was secretly impressed.

What constitutes a military background? This is it!

With Mr. Ge as vice president of the company, the company really has nothing to worry about in Binjiang in the future.

The more Mr. Bao thought, the more excited he became, and in heavily accented Mandarin, he said with deep emotion, "If only Xu Sheng were in Binjiang. Xu Sheng is so patriotic, but unfortunately, he’s always been busy with business and doesn’t participate in many social activities, otherwise, he could serve as a Port Affairs Consultant."

As they were speaking, the leaders from the Navy Destroyer Squadron leading the Binjiang Ship’s captain and political commissioner came down.

Secretary Lu, after several deferential gestures from the provincial leaders, went up with Mayor Wang to greet them.

"Comrade Secretary, the Binjiang Ship and all its officers and soldiers are commanded to return to Binjiang for rest, awaiting your instructions! Yang Nanfei, Branch Captain of the People’s Liberation Army Navy East Sea Fleet Destroyer Squadron."
