Chapter 496: Confrontation
Vice Chairman Cui nodded: "Okay, then let's ask Comrade Yan Tao to talk, just right, we old guys also listen to the voice of this young comrade from the grassroots." β
After speaking, after looking around with a smile on his face, he said, "Take a look, I'm afraid there is no one under forty-five years old, right?" Comrade Yan Tao is probably in his early thirties, he is indeed young, this is the future and hope of our country, and I am very pleased to see that we have such capable latecomers. β
As soon as Vice Chairman Cui's words came out, the vast majority of people in the conference room were moved.
Vice Chairman Cui and Minister Zhihui are the same as very strict people, never take a position easily, let alone praise anyone in public, no way, he is the successor of the people, the whole country has such an understanding, five years later, he is the chief of course No. 1, and one of his hints may determine a person's fate.
Therefore, he must always keep a clear head, and not easily reveal a trace of tendencies, except when he has to express his views at high-level work meetings.
Yan Tao took a deep breath, stabilized his mood, and said unhurriedly: "Vice chairman, minister, leaders, I am a junior and dare not show off in front of the leaders, so I will report some of my understanding of the Western Xinjiang issue to the vice chairman and leaders according to the minister's requirements." β
Yan Tao's voice was clear, neither high nor low into everyone's ear drums.
"Regarding the situation in western Xinjiang, I think all the leaders know it better than me, and I am not in a position to say more, but I will only talk about my own understanding, I think that the situation in western Xinjiang is a small number of reactionary forces colluding inside and outside. Trying to divide our country, these people are the enemies of our country. Enemy of the whole people.
"Their existence is a threat to the unity of the country and the stability of the people, so. We must not have the slightest illusion or mercy in dealing with them, and we must take extreme measures and spare no effort to attack them until they are completely eliminated and the security of the country and the peace of the people are restored. β
Yan Tao then summed up yesterday's battle: "With the strong cooperation and support of all sides, a total of 617 rebels were annihilated yesterday, of which 603 were killed and 14 were captured. None of the enemies involved in the rebellion slipped through the net.
"In the follow-up operation, 94 key reactionary rebel leaders and implicated persons were arrested, and 23 of the reactionary elements in our possession fled after hearing the news, and the western Xinjiang side is making every effort to pursue them.
"Through this operation, we summed up and saw our own shortcomings, on the one hand, due to insufficient publicity. The masses cannot form a mentality of hatred and hatred with us, and intelligence work can only rely on professional criminal investigators, who will get twice the result with half the effort, and cannot obtain information in a timely and effective manner. Detect the movements of the rebels, very passive.
"Second, the response is relatively slow. Western Xinjiang is vast and has scattered residential areas. If the enemy is scattered, we will fall into greater passivity.
"Third. My personal inexperience in on-the-spot command and my erroneous judgment caused a town to be taken advantage of by the enemy yesterday, and our masses and cadres paid a heavy price.
As for the next step, Yan Tao boldly suggested here that we should launch a powerful propaganda machine to publicize and publicize the conspiracy and crimes of the separatists at home and abroad, and rightly call on the domestic and international community to crack down on the criminal acts of splitting the country and poisoning the people.
"The threat of sanctions on all sides against countries that harbor and connive at such separatist forces has forced reactionary forces to have no foothold.
"Reactionary forces hiding abroad will be severely punished through the issuance of red notices by Interpol to arrest the backbone elements in a reasonable and lawful manner.
"Second, I suggest that a rapid reaction force be established in western Xinjiang and its neighboring provinces, equipped with the most advanced weapons, means of transport and other facilities, to ensure that criminals who attempt to cause trouble are dealt with in a timely manner.
"Article 3: Continue to improve the intelligence network, grasp the information of criminals in a timely manner, and follow up and investigate until the full number of criminals is ascertained.
"Fourth, through diplomatic channels and consultations with friendly countries, we should jointly arrest reactionary elements and masterminds behind the scenes.
"Vice chairman, minister, leaders, my report is over, and I will not delay more time for the leaders."
Yan Tao's report was concise and to the point, in fact, the summary report materials were sorted out by the General Section, and they can be reported today, and he is just briefly stating his main points here.
According to his understanding, Vice Chairman Cui's visit was mainly a gesture to show that he attached great importance to the counterinsurgency work in western Xinjiang, and that saying too much could only provoke the disgust of the leaders, and that there was no meaning.
Sure enough, as soon as his words ended, Liao Zhihui briefly exchanged a few words with Vice Chairman Cui, then glanced back at the audience and said: "Comrade Yan Tao's analysis and report is over, if you have any thoughts and opinions, please just talk about them, Vice Chairman wants to hear more, which is beneficial to how we carry out our work in the next step." β
Vice Minister Jiang Songnian was the first to speak, affirming Yan Tao's analysis and report, and at the same time exculpating Yan Tao's review, saying that it was not Yan Tao's responsibility, but was caused by the mistakes in the overall layout and the lack of preparation of the western Xinjiang side, and fully affirmed the spirit of Yan Tao and the comrades of the six departments who worked tirelessly and were not afraid of sacrifice.
As soon as Jiang Songnian's speech ended, everyone's eyes turned to Zhou Baizhong, another vice minister sitting next to him.
Although it is said to be free to speak, however, everyone knows their position and order, and with Vice Chairman Cui present today, this kind of occasion is very formal, of course, no one will make such a simple mistake, unless Zhou Baizhong takes the initiative to give up speaking.
Zhou Baizhong glanced at Vice Chairman Cui with a smile, cleared his throat and said, "First of all, thank you Vice Chairman Cui for coming to the Ministry of Public Security to inspect and guide the work. β
Yan Tao saw Jiang Songnian's brows move slightly, Zhou Baizhong's words were somewhat arrogant, this sentence is generally only said by ministers, the minister is not there, it is the first deputy minister, and it can only be Zhou Baizhong's turn if the first deputy minister is not there.
Fortunately, he did not say that he represented the Ministry of Public Security, nor was he outstanding, but it can be seen that this person is strong.
Zhou Baizhong once served as the director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, and he has always been known for his tough style, of course, some people say that he is stubborn and self-serving, and his views are different from different angles.
Zhou Baizhong paused slightly, and then said: "First of all, I would like to affirm the achievements of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, and the comrades have made certain achievements through hard work, which is worthy of praise, and I am deeply grateful. β
Yan Tao's heart moved, the caliber of this guy and Minister Jiang was really inconsistent, Minister Jiang affirmed that Yan Tao and the comrades of the Sixth Division, and Zhou Baizhong directly said the Criminal Investigation Bureau.
At first glance, it sounds no different, the six divisions are the six divisions of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, and praising the six divisions is also praising the Criminal Investigation Bureau, but Jiang Songnian is a very principled person, he is in charge of team building, and he only proposed the six divisions, not the Criminal Investigation Bureau, which shows that he is not satisfied with the overall work of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, and he is by no means a casual statement.
Zhou Baizhong is in charge of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, and he attributes the achievements to the entire Criminal Investigation Bureau, which is indeed very intriguing.
Next, Zhou Baizhong's words changed, and his expression became serious, even a little stern.
"However, we are a public security organ, not a military unit, and we are responsible for the task of cracking the case, and when the situation is not very clear, we resolutely issued an order to encircle and suppress it, resulting in so many deaths, I think this is a very serious accident.
"As the on-site commander, Comrade Yan Tao bears an unshirkable responsibility for this, should Comrade Yan Tao explain and review accordingly?"
Liao Zhihui was tired for a while, this Zhou Baizhong simply didn't know the current affairs and was messing around, Yan Tao led six places to quell the rebellion was assigned by the ministry, this has already been concluded, what problem can you solve by talking nonsense here?
You are the vice minister, even if you have any opinions about Yan Tao, you can find him privately and criticize him, but if you ask such a naΓ―ve question here, isn't it obvious that you are bullying the small with the big?
However, he was the deputy minister, and he was the second-ranked deputy minister, and Yan Tao was just a small assistant to the director, since he brought it up, he couldn't ignore it, so he had to turn to Yan Tao and ask him to explain. (To be continued......)
