Affected by the strong cold air from the north, the southern section of the Yangtze River has experienced strong winds of level 7.

Since 3:30 p.m., the Binjiang Maritime Safety Administration has been issuing navigation warnings, reminding passing ships to pay attention to the weather forecast to avoid danger. It also requires ships that cannot meet a certain wind resistance to take measures as soon as possible and never sail against the wind.

Han Yu rushed to the Yangtze River Bridge construction site as soon as he got off work. He originally planned to check the anchoring conditions of the two barges at the water law enforcement base. He did not expect to rush to the construction site to take a look. He was surprised to find that all members of the headquarters were on duty. The construction unit and the supervision unit were all on duty.

Engineers are facing a formidable enemy and are using various instruments to monitor various data of the bridge when it faces strong winds.

This reminded Han Yu of the time when the public security barge moved from Bailonggang Shipyard to the Yangtze River and encountered strong winds for the first time. He was just as nervous and even invited engineers and workers from the shipyard to be on duty on the barge.

The Yangtze River Bridge is a huge investment and must not cause any accidents. It is normal for the leaders of the headquarters and the person in charge of the construction unit to be nervous. After all, it was only the bridge tower that was affected by the wind before. Now the south and north main spans are closed, and the cable stays are pulled up.

The approach bridge has also been connected, and the wind-receiving area has increased many times. The challenges we face are far greater than before.

Compared with Deputy Director Li and other headquarters leaders, Han Xiangning is more nervous and busy.

She was worried about whether the bridge could withstand strong winds, but also wanted to ensure the safety of navigation in the waters of the bridge. After dinner, she sat in the command and control room on the second floor of the public security barge, using the radio and VTS to pay close attention to climate change and the navigation situation on the river.

The senior sister obviously couldn't go home tonight, so Han Yu simply stayed with her.

The wind force was level 7, which was not very strong.

It’s just that the south and north main spans of the bridge have never been encountered since they were closed. Han Yu believed in the capabilities of the design unit and construction unit, and was not very worried about whether the bridge could withstand strong winds. Sitting in the familiar barge, he felt like

It felt like I was home, leisurely chatting with my senior sister.

"San'er, did Political Commissar Wu report every leader of your Changhang Public Security Bureau?"

"Whoever said it is not that exaggerated. He just reported some problems to his superiors."

"So there's something really wrong with your bureau leadership!"

Comrade Lao Wu was so exaggerated that he actually ate the bureau's food, turned over the bureau's tables, smashed the bureau's bowls, and made Bureau Fan and other leaders miserable.

Han Yu didn't know how to evaluate it for a while, so he could only smile bitterly and said: "It's not a problem. Conflicts will arise as long as we do our work. Political Commissar Wu just reported his personal opinions and views on various tasks in the bureau to his superiors.

."

Han Xiangning had many classmates who had participated in various trainings in Hanwu. They were very well-informed and couldn't help but smile: "If there is no problem, can the Changhang Bureau send a working group to your Public Security Bureau? Selection of division-level cadres in your bureau

Can all appointments be frozen?”

"Is it fun to watch our workplace's jokes?"

"interesting."

"Ning Ning, what's your state of mind?" Han Yu sighed softly and said helplessly: "Some things are not as simple as they appear on the surface. Let's put it this way, your Maritime Safety Bureau is under the jurisdiction of the Jiangnan Maritime Safety Bureau. If it is like before,

It is also under the control of the Yangtze River Maritime Safety Administration, and you will face this situation sooner or later."

"What do you mean?" Han Xiangning asked puzzledly.

"In the past, maritime affairs, waterways, and our Changhang Public Security Bureau, including Changhang Group, were all under the jurisdiction of the Changhang Bureau, but in fact they were all in charge of their own affairs. Now the superiors need to strengthen the leadership of each unit. How can we strengthen it?

, isn’t it just about taking care of people’s affairs?”

"Are you saying that Political Commissar Wu just handed a knife to the China Shipping Bureau?"

"I didn't know it at first, but it was Huang Yuanchang who called me later and told me. There are so many units in the Changhang Airlines system, and our Changhang Public Security Bureau is the least important. Of course, the superiors will take action on us first. Take this opportunity to beat us and see what happens in the future.

Who dares not to use the village chief as a cadre?"

Han Xiang Ning was enlightened and understood, and murmured: "It turns out there was a reason why I was stuck in not correcting you last year."

Han Yu nodded and said with emotion: "It wasn't just me who was targeted last year. I thought it was over, but I didn't expect it would start again after half a year, and it would be more violent than last year. It's time for reform.

Reform is not a bad thing."

"It's not even your business. You'll be transferred in a few months anyway."

"Yes, I really feel reluctant to let go of it when I think about it."

While we were chatting, a hurried call came from the radio.

The traffic control center urgently reports climate change. The strong winds blowing outside are rising, with gusts of level 7 to level 8. The instantaneous wind force at the wide river surface in the Binjiang section is likely to exceed level 9, which will have a considerable impact on ships sailing on the river!

Even though he knew that the engineering headquarters should have received the notification from the meteorological department, Han Xiangning still picked up the walkie-talkie and reported the latest situation to the leadership of the headquarters. Then he changed the frequency to remind the construction unit to pay attention to the anchoring safety of the engineering vessels.

The barge was shaking more and more violently. Han Yu was not at ease. He opened the door and braved the strong wind and called the policemen on duty next door to help them go down to check.

The steel pontoon made a creaking sound. Binjiang Police 001, Yangtze River Police 111 and Haixun 48, which were moored next to the police barge and the large barge, kept colliding with the sides of the barge. Fortunately, there were tires to buffer them, otherwise I don't know what they would have been like.

Using a flashlight, I used ropes to reinforce the joints of the pontoon and confirmed that the barge was unlikely to anchor. When I returned to the command and control room, the call on the radio became even more urgent.

Two inland river cargo ships broke anchor at the anchorage of Yingchuan Port, and an inland river cargo ship loaded with gravel capsized at the anchorage outside the Binqi River lock. The water search and rescue center is conducting emergency rescue.

Han Yu asked eagerly: "Ningning, do we want to search and rescue?"

"No need, people have been rescued."

"How's the bridge?"

"The bridge is fine, but there is something wrong on the river."

"Didn't the person be rescued?" Han Yu asked subconsciously.

Han Xiangning looked at the record he had just made and said worriedly: "I just received a notification from the Traffic Control Center. As of five minutes ago, the Jiangnan Maritime Safety Administration preliminary statistics indicate that there are 31 ships and 148 people in distress in our Jiangnan section. The Traffic Control Center has just launched an emergency response as required by superiors.

According to the plan, temporary controls will be implemented on the entire Binjiang section. All ships are not allowed to sail against the wind and should immediately choose safe waters to anchor."

Han Yu did not expect that the sudden intensification of the strong wind would cause such a huge economic loss, and may even cause casualties. Looking at the dark river surface, he asked in a low voice: "Have sea ships also anchored to take shelter from the wind?"

"The losses on the East China Sea side are even greater."

Han Xiangning took a deep breath and explained: "Six shipwrecks occurred in Wusongkou waters in succession. There was a ship anchored at Wusong anchorage, and several containers fell into the water due to strong wind and waves. The East China Sea Maritime Search and Rescue Center is organizing search and rescue and deploying additional forces to guard it.

Shipwrecks, set navigation marks to prevent secondary accidents.

The East China Sea Maritime Search and Rescue Center has notified all maritime offices in Huangpujiang to stop ship export visas, and Wusong VTS has just implemented temporary traffic control in Wusongkou waters and the South and North Channels, suspending the import and export of ships."

This "import and export" is not the import and export of foreign trade, but refers to the entry and exit of ships into the Huangpu River.

Temporary traffic control is implemented downstream, and the upstream must also be controlled. Otherwise, allowing so many ships to sail into Wusongkou waters will cause more accidents.

It was only the beginning of May and the typhoon season had not yet entered, yet there were so many shipwrecks caused by strong winds.

Han Yu did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately took out his mobile phone and called the branch duty room, asking the police on duty to notify the police with water rescue experience to return to their respective posts immediately and be ready to assist in maritime search and rescue at any time.

As a result, as soon as the phone call was made, the Shuzhou Maritime Department on the other side requested assistance from the Daqiao Water Law Enforcement Base through the radio.

Han Xiangning held the radio phone tightly and asked, "Wang Chu, what's going on?"

"Han Bureau, the 'Changqing 2', which was originally anchored upstream waiting to be unloaded, lost its anchor. It was blown by strong winds to the water intake of the cement plant and hit the guard piles of the water intake, causing damage to the bow peak tank and flooding. It may happen at any time.

Shen. All the tugs I can contact here have gone out to rescue, and there are no tugs available now."

"I know, I'll let 001 pass."

"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you."

"No trouble."

Han Xiangning put down the radio and was about to ask Han Yu to take action in person. Han Yu had already opened the door and walked out of the command and dispatch room. He ran downstairs while holding up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Wu Chu, there is a rescue mission. Let Lao Jiang and Xiao

Ready to set sail!"

Wu Haili took a back seat and helped out at the water law enforcement base.

Xiao Chen went to Dongguang to learn how to drive a new ship. Wu Haili became the temporary captain of Xiao 001. He had just received the order from Han Yu and had already prepared the car. When he heard that there was a rescue mission, he replied without thinking: "Han Bureau, we

Everything is ready and can be unmoored and set sail at any time.”

"Han Bureau, where are we going to rescue?" Lao Jiang, the pilot of Haixun 48, asked eagerly.

"Go to the water intake of the cement plant on the other side." Han Yu did not bother to wear gloves, and while unmooring the cable in the strong wind, he reminded: "Xiao Xu, put on the life jacket!"

"Okay, right away."

Little 001 had already prepared to set sail. However, the wind and waves on the river were high and Wu Haili could not drive fast despite his rich driving experience.

By the time it reached the waters where the incident occurred, the cargo ship loaded with gravel had already sunk!

Urgently contacted the Shuzhou Maritime Department and confirmed that three crew members had fallen into the water. Han Yu immediately asked Wu Haili to adjust the course and go downstream for search and rescue.

Han Xiangning was worried about the safety of the crew members who fell into the water. Du Juan, who was transferred from the Mingming Marine Department to the Wusong Marine Department last year, actually called.

"Xiao Du, what's the matter?"

"Sister Han, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, how are you doing over there?"

"The situation is not good. Several ships are in danger. Even Xianyu went to the river to search and rescue the drowned crew members. Where are you?"

"The situation here is not good either. Several boats have sunk." Du Juan took a deep breath, looked at Xiao Yu who was soaked to the skin, and even his face turned purple from the cold. He held the phone tightly and said, "Brother Xiao Yu.

While we were on a mission here, we just happened to catch up with a series of dangers on the river, and we just helped us rescue 6 crew members who fell into the water."

Han Xiangning asked in surprise: "Where is the little fish?"

"Well, we just landed. The wind and waves are too strong, and their small boats can no longer participate in the search and rescue. Fortunately, the ships from the search and rescue center are here, as are the landing craft from the Coast Guard and the Navy's East China Sea Base. Sister Han, I asked Brother Xiaoyu to follow you

explain."

"It's good that he landed safely. I can't care about it now. I'll call him later."

"Okay, I'll hang up first."
