Chapter 172: Chapter 139: Major Action (Part 3)_2"Where is Supervision 39? Director Jin, didn’t you say during dinner that Supervision 39 would also be joining the operation?" "Plans can’t keep up with changes. Two hours ago, a boat collision occurred in the Lang Mountain Waters. It’s said someone fell overboard; Supervision 39 needs to rush over for the rescue. After they get the person out of the water, there’s the accident to deal with. They won’t be able to join the operation." Director Jin looked helpless, then added, "Director Dong said that the Fishery Administration Law Enforcement Ships would join the operation, but their ships are large and have a deep draft, so it’s very likely they won’t be able to get close. Even if they do make it, if the eel fishing boats escape toward the shallows, they won’t be able to chase." Li Weiguo pressed, "Director Zhang, does your bureau have any Law Enforcement Boats?" Zhang Junyan awkwardly said, "We only have one traffic boat, just a bit longer than 002." "The Law Enforcement Vessels should be enough." Xu Sanye felt that further discussions were pointless. Picking up a pencil, he began sketching on a piece of paper while speaking, "Once we get to Binjiang, we’ll meet again to form eight assault teams, leaving two on each boat that can give support. When they get alongside the fishing boat, one team will board, and then they’ll move on to the second fishing boat, where the second assault team will board. That is, each Law Enforcement Ship responsible for support will control two fishing boats and the criminals on board." A two-on-one tactic demands swift action, otherwise, the fishing boats will surely flee. Considering those fishing boats were catching eel fry and must be anchored, even if they wanted to run, it would take time. Li Weiguo and Zhang Junyan felt the odds were still quite good. Scholar Yu asked quietly, "Director Xu, how should personnel for the assault teams be arranged?" "We have twelve officers here; Old Zhang, how many do you have?" "Our bureau has Director Jiang leading the team, including myself, a total of seven officers." "What about the Port District Bureau?" "The Port District Bureau is led by Director Wei; they have six officers there." "That makes a total of twenty-five officers. Old Li, you get on the little 001 and take command of 002, Bailong Port’s traffic boat, Binjiang Port Police Station’s traffic boat, and the Port Supervision Bureau’s speedboat, on guard and ready to rescue anyone who falls overboard. At the same time, prevent the target vessels from escaping." Xu Sanye looked up, emphasizing, "Their boats may be fast, but they’re not faster than the traffic and speed boats. When the time comes, simply command the nearest traffic boat or speedboat to give chase and keep an eye on them. There’s no need to engage them head-on; definitely no smashing eggs against rocks. Once we are free, we will capture them." This task was very important. Li Weiguo nodded, "Okay, I’ll handle the perimeter." Xu Sanye pointed to the tactical map he had drawn and added, "Aren’t the Fishery Administration Ships large and drawing a lot of water? Let them be on alert in the waterway then, blocking the target boats from escaping to the river center. They’ll prevent the fishing boats from getting desperate and entering the waterway, causing a water traffic accident." Scholar Yu followed up with, "Director Xu, what about the civilian soldiers?" "We’ll put ten good swimmers from the civilian soldiers on the traffic boats and motorboats to take charge of rescues. The remaining forty civilian soldiers will all be assigned to the assault teams. Each assault team will have three officers and five civilian soldiers. Even if those water bandits dare to resist, we’ll be able to handle them smoothly." Xu Sanye paused, then continued, "We also have eight experienced drivers. Once we arrive at Binjiang, we’ll pair them up two by two and assign the eight drivers to the four Law Enforcement Ships that can give support. Their first task is to help with mooring and cables, ensuring the assault team can board the fishing boats smoothly. The gunwales on the fishing boats are high, and it won’t be easy for the assault teams to climb aboard, so their first task is crucial." Scholar Yu caught on and said pensively, "Once we secure the fishing boats and the criminals on them, we’ll let them take over the helm." "Right, that’s what I was thinking. Is there anything else you would like to add?" "Nothing." "Director Xu, you’ve considered everything thoroughly." "If there are no objections, then let’s take some time to rest." "Okay." seaʀᴄh thё ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Director Yu, please wait a moment." "Director Xu, what is it?" Xu Sanye watched Li Weiguo, Zhang Junyan and others leave, closed the cabin door, turned around with a smile, and said: "Director Yu, they say the beginning is always the hardest, and now is the chance for the Water Police Station to break new ground." Scholar Yu asked subconsciously: "How do we break new ground?" Xu Sanye patted his arm and said very seriously: "Once we get to Binjiang, you will be the overall commander of the operation. I’ll have the officers involved in the battle, basic civilian soldiers, and the captains and crew report to you. Then you will deploy personnel, arrange tasks, and issue orders based on the combat plan we just confirmed." Scholar Yu kept waving his hands: "Director Xu, I can’t command such a big operation, I can’t manage so many people!" "You are the Branch Captain of the City Bureau’s Water Police Department and the Director of the Binjiang Water Police Branch. If not you, who else will command?" Xu Sanye asked rhetorically, adding meaningfully: "We have already made headway here at Bailong Port, and we’ll do the same at Binjiang. But I’m just a station director, my reach doesn’t extend to Binjiang, you have to take the lead there, it’s all on you." Scholar Yu knew that he wanted him to establish his authority in Binjiang. Hesitating, he smiled bitterly: "Brother, I... I’m just a Branch Captain in name only, I... I’ve never truly led before." "In the past, you were a leader in name only, from now on, you should be one in both name and deed." Xu Sanye knew he lacked confidence just like Little Salted Fish, and patted his arm again: "Think about what kind of units we deal with at Bailong Port and what kind of units you’ll be dealing with at Binjiang. Different levels, different heights, only you can do this job. After the operation, whether it’s the criminals we catch or the fishing boats we detain, none will be brought back to Bailong Port. I will hand them all over to you, for the Water Police Station to handle the investigation. Today’s operation is also led and organized by the Water Police Station." This favor was a big one. Once eight fishing boats are brought back to Binjiang and over forty suspects involved in robbery and intentional injury are brought ashore, it will surely shock the City Bureau. Scholar Yu became increasingly excited, but then frowned and said: "I don’t have facilities for handling cases, nor do I have that many case officers." "That’s not an issue." Xu Sanye patted his shoulder, grinning: "Think about it, we can’t just release the criminals we’ve caught with great effort and risk of drowning. If there’s no place to report to the leaders at the City Bureau, we’ll borrow one. If there aren’t enough officers for the case, we’ll request a transfer from other units." Thinking of Xu Sanye’s habit of borrowing without returning, Scholar Yu couldn’t help but ask: "Just borrow without considering the consequences?" "This case has leads to follow, who knows, maybe they are involved in other illegal activities. Even if they haven’t, you’ll need to communicate and coordinate with Port Supervision and Fishery Administration, transfer what needs to be transferred, and impose necessary penalties." Xu Sanye looked back and then whispered in his ear: "The river security is so chaotic, I currently have hundreds of leads, you will be busy." Scholar Yu nodded: "Being busy is good. As long as there’s work to do, we won’t need to rush to return the borrowed space and personnel." "That’s why when we get to Binjiang, you must show some decisiveness, you can’t be as modest and low-profile as you were in Bailong Port." "I’ll try." "Director Yu, you have what it takes, you’ve worked at the City Bureau for so many years, you stand higher and see farther than us, you can surely do it." "Brother, don’t make fun of me." "Brother, I’m not making fun of you, I’m speaking from the heart. Let me tell you something intimate; if one doesn’t plan for the future, one will have immediate worries. Don’t be fooled by the prosperity of the Yanjiang Police Station right now, our foundation is shaky and we have no backers." Xu Sanye took out a cigarette and offered one, emphasizing: "In the future, we will rely on you, we want to enjoy the shade under your big tree." Scholar Yu felt very embarrassed, accepted the cigarette with a bitter smile, "But in doing so, wouldn’t I be stealing your credit?" "What use do I have for credit? Old Li and Old Zhang, what use do they have for credit? Salted Fish does need it, but he’s still young and an intern, it wouldn’t be of use to him. It’s better to keep it within our own people rather than letting others benefit, and it’s also for the sake of the work." "Alright, since it’s for the work, I’ll steal the credit just this once, and pick this peach!"
