The special emergency meeting urged by people from the province was being held in the conference room of the county government in a tense and dull manner.

Seeing that the people present were silent, the commissioner from the province glanced at everyone with a cold and suspicious gaze.

He said in an impassioned tone: "The situation I just talked about is not alarmist. The advance contingent of the communist army and the underground party have indeed quietly penetrated into various regions like spring snow. It's just that you are not vigilant enough to make the boycott of the communist army a top priority at the moment. I believe that as long as you keep your eyes open and take action, you will reap the rewards. ”

County Magistrate Kong, who had been silent, was really uncomfortable to look at by the commissioner's lukewarm gaze. He sighed lightly and said: "The small county is located in a remote area, the industry and commerce are not very developed, and the foreign population is limited. There are some rumors about the PLA, but so far there has been no sign of public activity. May I ask the commissioner, according to the situation of the small county, where should I start? ”

Commissioner Zhang raised his head and said as if he was confident: "First of all, arrest and shoot those who have talked about the speech and ideology of the communist army and those who passively resist taxes, so as to give the people a warning." The spirit above is that it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one. Then, notices were posted everywhere that anyone who harbored and took in Communist soldiers would be shot if they were discovered. Those who report and provide clues are rewarded. ”

After a pause, he glanced around at the crowd. With a look of ill intentions, he continued: "All of you here, have you had any private dealings with the communist army? ”

A pair of suspicious eyes lingered on everyone's face for a moment like a ghost.

Then, it fell lightly on the face of County Magistrate Kong. Said tentatively: "County Magistrate Kong, what do you say? ”

County Magistrate Kong barely cheered up, glanced at the commissioner indifferently, and said without humility or arrogance: "Everyone here has worked with me for many years, and I haven't heard of anyone interested in the PLA. Therefore, it is impossible for any of them to have anything to do with the communist army, and I can guarantee that. ”

The commissioner looked unimpressed. He sneered and said: "It seems that County Magistrate Kong really can't stand the People's Liberation Army and has never suffered the losses of the Communist Army." Those poor ghosts, like the winter wind, are everywhere. often shares with you day and night, but makes you unaware. The price paid by the party-state for this is too much. I don't dare to say lightly that there are no communist personnel, and I must not be paralyzed. ”

At this time, Xiangzi, who had been holding back the anger in his chest, stood up with a "sigh", and said in a calm voice as much as possible: "According to what the commissioner said, if anyone is dissatisfied with the policies of the Nationalist Government and complains a few words, can he be arrested and shot as a communist army?" ”

The commissioner, with a suspicious gaze, looked at Xiangzi and asked, "May I ask who you are?" ”

Xiangzi glanced at him indifferently and said, "In Xia Guo Guixiang, he is the assistant to the county magistrate Kong. ”

When the commissioner heard this, a dark smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said, "I have long heard that there is an assistant under the county magistrate Kong, who is very capable. When I saw it today, it was really extraordinary, did you join the party? ”

As he spoke, he threw an inquiring glance at County Magistrate Kong. Without waiting for County Magistrate Kong to speak, Xiangzi smiled at him and said, "I only do things according to my conscience, and I am not interested in the party. ”

The commissioner's eyes rolled slyly. Make a connoisseur and say, "Brother, you don't understand this." Being an errand boy in the government and whether he is a party member or not can be very particular. If you want to soar, you must not only have the ability, but also look at the qualifications, which is the party age. County Magistrate Kong, you have to cultivate more talents for the party and the state. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at County Magistrate Kong with reproach in his eyes. Then, Chong Xiangzi, who was in a tone of voice, said: "What you just said is positive. It seems that you have a little understanding of the party-state's strategy. We just want to let the people know that the communist army is a plague, and whoever touches it will die. Create a terrifying situation of talking about the change of the communist color, so that the advance team of the communist army has no place to stand. ”

After a pause, the county magistrate glanced at it again and said: "This is not enough, but also to publicize in the cities and villages that the People's Liberation Army is a tiger and a beast, so that the people can stand on the opposite side of the communist army as soon as possible, forming an iron wall." In order to realize the strategic deployment of the party-state to use the Tianshan Mountains as a barrier to resist the communist army.

As the saying goes, a fortress is often breached from within. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate and suppress as soon as possible the suspicious people who have infiltrated Xinjiang, and return Xinjiang to a world where sunny days and white days are restored. ”

After a round of applause, the commissioner assumed the posture of a superior official.

The county magistrate of Chongkong said: "Considering that the Qing Communists are short of manpower, I plan to send a cavalry company from Usman to the county seat to cooperate with your actions. ”

County Magistrate Kong was stunned for a moment, and then stood up with a somewhat flustered expression and said: "The commissioner doesn't know that the people in the city have been prejudiced against the Kazakh nationality for many years, and the ethnic contradictions are very deep.

When County Magistrate Zhang was in office, he suppressed the Kazakh bandits, and also shot two Kazakh bandit leaders in public in the south of the city. Therefore, it is inconvenient for Usman's team to enter the city and station, and he is afraid that something will happen. For this reason, I have made a pact with Usman that his soldiers should not be allowed to bring guns into the city, lest they cause unnecessary panic. I will borrow troops from him if needed. Besides, in addition to the police, there are dozens of militia groups in the city. The problem of manpower will not be bothered by the commissioner. ”

The commissioner pondered for a moment, nodded his head as if he had made up his mind, and said, "In that case, I respect your opinion. However, I'll start with the ugly words. Within three days, you must hand me three heads of suspicious Communist soldiers. After turning back from Qitai, I have to inspect the goods myself. ”

County Magistrate Kong was about to say something with a smile on his face, but when he saw Xiangzi hurriedly stand up, he smiled at the commissioner, and said, "Please rest assured, the commissioner, we promise to complete the task!" ”

The commissioner smiled with satisfaction and said, "Assistant Guo is really a talent!" If I have the chance, I will take you to the province on a business trip. When the time comes, County Magistrate Kong will not be reluctant to release people? ”

County Magistrate Kong put on a false smile and said perfunctorily: "Everything is subject to the commissioner's arrangement." ”

The commissioner didn't even eat dinner, so he had to rush to Qitai. County Magistrate Kong understands in his heart that people think that the restaurant here is of low grade, and he doesn't spend wine to drink.

But in his mouth, he said some compliments such as putting the interests of the party and the state first. Before getting into the car, the commissioner seemed to suddenly remember something, and looked at County Magistrate Kong with a sly gaze.

He said meaningfully: "I have long heard that the militia in Gui County has shown miraculous results in several crackdowns on bandits, and it is a local armed force that can be of great use. It's just that such a good contingent must be firmly in the hands of the party and the state, and the communist army must not be allowed to take advantage of the loopholes. ”

As he spoke, he patted County Magistrate Kong on the shoulder with a solemn expression.

County Magistrate Kong nodded heavily at him and carefully closed the car door.
