On New Year's Day, a lot also happened. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Traditionally, the government always has to make some State of the Union addresses, and this year the military has made some moves.

After participating in the New Year's Day celebration of the Northwest Military Region, the second old man made a public statement and gave a series of instructions on the most important problems in the army.

He believes that under the new economic situation, the army's anti-corruption work is particularly important, and the standard of living has improved, but whether or not the combat effectiveness can be improved is a question.

At the same time, the second old man also said that safeguarding the country's national integrity, territorial integrity, social stability, and strong national defense are the basic starting points for the modernization of the army, and the principle that the party commands the gun cannot be shaken, and the army follows the party and cannot be discussed.

The second old man also proposed that in accordance with the unified arrangements of the General Political Department and the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Central Military Commission, the military should begin to focus on tackling commercial bribery in the fields of project construction, material and equipment, medical and public health, military transportation, finance, military quartermaster, telecommunications, paid services, and socialized security, such as bidding and procurement, so as to ensure that the army's high- and middle-ranking leading cadres and cadres of government organs are strictly self-disciplined and honest in performing official duties.

In view of the several corruption incidents involving high-ranking cadres in the army that occurred in the middle of last year, the second old man also made some analysis, holding that it is necessary to carry out a large-scale discipline rectification in the army and get rid of the handful of moths that are not firm in the revolutionary will and are mixed in the army.

Judging from the New Year's Day speeches of Comrade Jiang Cheng and Premier Yun on both the party and government, the words of the second old man seem a little murderous, and many people feel uneasy in their hearts, lest the knife of the second old man fall on their heads.

After Ye Kai saw it, he felt a little strange that he didn't know why the second old man chose this time, and suddenly wanted to kill, at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, everyone's mind should not be on this.

So Ye Kai ran to the second old man's side to talk about it, and by the way, talk about some other things.

The second old man is here, but there are people coming and going, and everyone's expressions are relatively nervous, as if something has happened.

After the secretary reported, Ye Kai was led in, and the second old man was talking to someone, and after waiting for a while, he was called in.

"What's going on, why does everyone have a straight face?" Ye Kai asked with some curiosity.

The second old man replied, "A staff officer of the Navy's armament department embezzled more than 30 million yuan of equipment money and used it for usury, but in the end he couldn't get it back, which made everyone feel disgraced. ”

"More than 30 million is not a small number." After Ye Kai listened, he nodded and said.

"This is just one of the things, a deputy commander of the Navy during his tenure in the General Logistics Department, used the barracks infrastructure project to make a profit of more than 100 million yuan, and now it has been controlled." The second old man said, "This person is already a lieutenant general, and this is completely over." ”

"Oh, this is another big fish......" Ye Kai listened, and was really taken aback again.

It turned out that when the deputy commander of the navy was in charge of the infrastructure barracks department of the General Logistics Department, he was mainly responsible for the construction of the army's barracks, ports, organs, and other infrastructure, and he actually had a lot of financial power. During his tenure at the General Logistics Department, he was fully responsible for the renovation of the barracks of the whole army. At the same time, the military housing reform project, with the establishment of a housing subsidy system as the core, was also launched on a trial basis, and the monetization of housing distribution began to be tried internally.

In addition to the fact that the bidding system for the troops is relatively relaxed compared with that for other public buildings, the bidding system for the troops is sometimes carried out by inviting tenders or negotiating bids for reasons involving military secrets or armaments, and to a large extent, the method of awarding contracts is still adopted in which the leaders have the final say.

Because of his great power, the funds he took out from it were about 150 million yuan, not including the funds that had not been verified.

"Is it any wonder that the military is preparing for a large-scale campaign?" Ye Kai asked.

"The scale is definitely not small, but the specific number of people to be held accountable remains to be discussed, after all, the army can't be messed up at all, and once it is messed up, things will not be easy to clean up." The second old man frowned and replied, "Now I'm also thinking about killing a few chickens and scaring the monkeys, at most." ”

Ye Kai listened, but he didn't feel the slightest surprise, now among the high-level in the army, there are a considerable number of ** elements, but these people's power in the army has been deep-rooted, and the tail is too big, if there is no suitable name, the high-level is not willing to move them, after all, although it is not easy to defeat them, it is not impossible, but after defeating them, it will hurt the muscles and bones in a certain aspect, which is the most troublesome thing.

"The problem of the army's ** has been around for a long time, and it is difficult to avoid it." When the second old man mentioned this matter, he remembered the past, "When the country was first founded, there was a bo'er. ”

After the founding of the Republic of that year, the army moved from the countryside to the cities, and the number of middle and high-ranking cadres increased rapidly. From 1953 to the first half of 1954, 30 percent of the cases of violations of law and discipline among party members and cadres at and above the division level directly accepted by the General Political Department were related to corruption in their lives.

In July 1953, some people reported to President Peng that some military-level cadres had signs of corruption in the pursuit of enjoyment. Mr. Peng immediately criticized these cadres. Unexpectedly, he was retorted that Zhongnanhai also chose a dance partner, so why can't we dance and engage in some cultural and entertainment activities?

After understanding, President Peng learned that the Central Police Bureau was selecting dance partners for the central leading comrades, and the standards were very high, requiring a delicate appearance and a good posture, and some of the selected female comrades were even returned twice in a row, causing dissatisfaction among the relevant leading comrades of the military region.

Later, Mr. Luo instructed the deputy director of the General Administration and the chief of the Central Police Bureau who issued the telegram to make a written review, and dismissed the secretary who had added appearance conditions to the female art troupe members without authorization.

After this incident, the General Political Department sent a working group to go deep into the army to investigate the corrupt behavior of arrogance and the pursuit of pleasure.

Within half a year, 3 cadres at the corps level, 12 cadres at the army level, and 205 cadres at the division level were found to be corrupt and degenerate, violating laws and disciplines.

"When dealing with these problems back then, it was absolutely not soft, and those who should be caught were caught, those who should be closed were closed, and those who should be killed were killed, without any stumbling at all." The second old man remembered the situation at that time, so he said to Ye Kai.

The army that came over during the war years just now is still very militarized in terms of rectification, unlike now, when peacetime has been experienced for too long, discipline has also been loosened, and human affection is greater than legal principles.

"After the September 13 incident, the serious damage and bad influence caused to the army were fully violated. In 1975, Comrade Fang He began to reorganize the army. At the enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission, he focused on five problems existing in the armed forces: First, the total number of troops in 1971 increased by 3.6 million compared with 1959. The second is that it is a bit scattered. The third is a bit arrogant. Fourth, it's a bit extravagant. Fifth, it's a bit lazy. The second old man said, "The Central Military Commission has formulated specific rectification measures, and the whole army has generally carried out work style and discipline rectification. Some personnel and units that violated mass discipline have been criticized and dealt with, and those who occupy a large amount of houses, land, and other property in the localities have been cleared out in accordance with the requirements of the Central Military Commission, and those who cannot be removed for the time being must be explained and explained to the localities. ”

Ye Kai nodded again and again when he heard it, although he hadn't experienced those days, but at this time, he could also feel the tough style of the older generation of characters, he didn't have so many scruples at all, he dealt with it when he should deal with it, without the slightest stumbling, and now when he starts doing things, it is really helpless to look forward and look backwards.

However, after the reform and opening up, the military's anti-corruption struggle has focused on the construction of the anti-corruption system, striving to change the rule of man into the rule of law, and effectively prevent it.

In the two years from the beginning of 1982 to the end of 1983, a total of 174 major cases were uncovered throughout the army, mainly involving such problems as trafficking, bribery, embezzlement and theft, speculation and fraud, illegal business, and tax evasion.

"Up to now, the whole army has investigated and dealt with the cases of several hundred cadres at and above the rank of full division, of which more than two-thirds are chief officers, nearly one-half are leading cadres who are about to retire, and more than one-third are department leaders in charge of personnel, finance, and materials. It can be said that the number one person who holds key departments and key powers has become a high-incidence group in the military. The second old man said, "In the face of this situation, the Military Commission is committed to governing from the mechanism and source, first doing a good job in the construction of a clean government system, and then investigating and dealing with individual problems." ”

"I think the main problem is because we want to get rid of some unstable forces in the army, right?" Ye Kai put forward his own point of view.

When the second old man heard this, he smiled and said, "There are some reasons for this. ”

Although he didn't explain his words, the meaning is still very clear, now that the change of office is imminent, the infiltration of the military forces in all aspects is being carried out in secret, and everyone wants to catch the gun in their own hands, so the second old man also sacrificed his own big killing weapon, since everyone is a little restless, then let's start with a round of anti-corruption.

As long as they are restless figures in the army, it is not difficult to find out something wrong with them, and the problem of corruption is only one of them, plus other things related to military secrets or national security, it is really a simple matter to catch a few typical examples and kill their prestige.
