Chapter 58: Confrontation

With regard to this nationwide struggle against economic crimes, the impact on the troops is still very small.

In fact, to be honest, there were already many business groups like our "Advanced Limited Wholesale" company in the army at this time, and there were even a few units involved in smuggling and trafficking.

There's a reason for this.

On the one hand, during the 10-year period, the army has always been in a state of "doing it yourself", and it is too common for the army to do business, construction, and production, which also leads to the fact that many soldiers will only use hoes and not guns when the war began in 79.

Because of this tradition, it is normal for the military in this era to do business and generate some income.

This was changed by the war of '79.

After the war, so many people were sacrificed on the battlefield, and only then did those cadres and soldiers who were once keen on business and production realize that for the army, combat effectiveness should always be put in the first place, and this is still a matter of their own lives, and no one dares to be careless.

As a result, for a period of time, this wind was temporarily suppressed by training and improving combat effectiveness.

But the problem was that at this time, China was still in a period of poverty and whiteness, and the higher authorities decided to save money on the infantry...... This is the result of the previous discussion at the Jingxi Hotel, and this decision is correct in the general direction, because the future war is about science and technology and air supremacy, and although the infantry is important, its position has become weaker and weaker, so it is of course correct to save money on the infantry and invest the money saved in the development of the military industry and the research of high-tech equipment.

But if this matter falls on the infantry, it will be bitter, and they will go to the battlefield to fight the Yue devils to live a precarious life, and now they have to lay off personnel. And to reduce the cost?!

How can we infantry live!

Therefore, the infantry of this era is really bitter. Sometimes you have to pay for your own training. Even when facing the enemy on the battlefield, you have to be careful...... As I said before, the artillery observer commanded a cannon fire, and if it hit, there was nothing to say, and if it didn't hit, it would be waiting to be punished!

We didn't feel this in the synthetic battalion, but it was also because the synthetic battalion was to provide reform experience for the country's army.

It's just that there is only one synthetic battalion in the whole country, and the lives of the other troops can almost be said to be on the verge of collapse.

As a result, the troops had to re-enter the civilian business field, and once they got involved in business, it was inevitable that some people would do things that violated state policy and made profits.

So if we talk about fighting economic crime, there really is one in the army.

However, where will the public security department find out about the army? On the one hand, this is because the state also knows that this is a helpless thing, and what can be done if the funds are insufficient? If you don't let the army do business, you can't let them go hungry!

On the other hand, considering that the purpose of the army's business in this era is very simple, that is, to supplement the shortfall in the budget, so there is no need to pay much attention.

Therefore, at this time, when the struggle against economic crime was already vigorously launched in society, there was still no movement in the army.

If there was any movement, it was that the telegrams of the armed police from all over the country flew like snowflakes...... These were reports of the involvement of the various armed police forces, but as we had expected, the clashes were not intense at first.

I think a lot of this is because this kind of crackdown started all of a sudden, and some criminals were caught off guard. So there is only a share of being caught.

Therefore, at this time, even if the armed police force participated in the operation, it was a passing motion...... A carload of armed police followed the police and surrounded the target. The police grabbed the people and then closed the team.

Of course, China is so big, there are always some places where accidents happen.

I am glad that the armed police have generally handled these emergencies well, even though they have only been training for a little more than a month.

For example, there is a case like this: when the public security department led the armed police force to arrest a group with the nature of an underworld, because of the temporary situation changed, several of them were released from the prosecution, and in the process of pursuit, the target abducted the people to save their lives.

This was originally a typical case of hostage-taking, and there was nothing to say, and the result was nothing more than the size of the hostage's casualties.

But to my surprise, the PAPF didn't follow the procedures we had been trained in, such as using a sniper rifle to lock on to a target and kill the enemy at a time or launching a sneak attack with flashbangs.

They brought the elderly parents of the suspect to persuade them, and the parents, of course, did not want their son to die under the indiscriminate shooting, so they persuaded them with snot and tears.

Not to mention, this method is really effective, although most of the underworld gangs are ruthless guys, but there are many people who value love and righteousness and abide by filial piety.

This also made me realize that I seemed to be omitted one point when training the armed police, that is, salute first and then soldier.

We just blindly think about how to control the target and how to kill the target, but we didn't expect that even if the target is a criminal, it is also a person, and if it is a human being, it will have feelings, if we can break through their emotional gap and make the target give up resistance, it will undoubtedly be a more ideal ending than killing the target with one shot.

And this will not only achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost, but will also have a good response among the people...... We are using virtue to convince people, bring criminals to justice without firing a shot, and even this will give a warning to other criminals: think about your parents before resisting, think about your own family, whether they want to see you do this.

Thinking of this, I secretly made up my mind that the next step in the training of the armed police force should be to add some roles similar to "negotiators", but it is conceivable that such roles must be talents who understand psychology and have eloquence, good psychological qualities, and even considerable military qualities.

One of the more strict cases is a suspect in a village who is suspected of economic crimes.

Speaking of which, the man named Hu Zuoqiu, who was written in the report, was still a peasant entrepreneur with great courage and vision, and he began to set up enterprises at the beginning of reform and opening up, but in a few years, the enterprises he ran became bigger and bigger in a snowballing way, and several branch factories were built.

As soon as there were many branches, the villagers embarked on the road to prosperity, so Hu Zuoqiu had a considerable reputation in the local area, and even a considerable number of villagers regarded Hu Zuoqiu as the leader...... Follow him, and there is meat to eat.

When this person gains power, he often gets carried away and doesn't know the height of the sky, because Hu Zuoqiu has a transcendent position in his village, which makes his self-confidence highly inflated, and he has no one in his eyes, as if he is the village judge, he has the final say in everything, and even to the point where he doesn't take the public security bureau seriously.

This is not? When the Public Security Bureau went to investigate Hu Zuoqiu's economic problems, he couldn't enter the village at all, and he was blasted out in a few clicks.

The second time he went to the Public Security Bureau, he became smart and brought a company of armed police with him.

However, this time it was even more exaggerated, Hu Zuoqiu directly called on the whole village to rise up and openly resist the armed police force, and the villagers usually only looked at Hu Zuoqiu, and this influence even extended to other villages, so a total of tens of thousands of villagers in their own and other villages guarded all intersections of the village with sticks and steel pipes, and confronted the armed police in an all-round way, claiming: "Once the police enter the village, they will fight with all their might."

From this point, it can also be seen how arrogant this nonsense is, and it can even be said that it is arrogant to the point of stupidity.

The reason why he is stupid is that he has adopted a method that the state will never tolerate.

Just joking, calling on the villagers to confront the state, if this can be tolerated, then other villagers or cities follow suit, so what?

To say that this nonsense Qiu can run a business to such a large scale in a short period of time, he should be a person with brains, so at first I wondered how he could do such a stupid thing.

But after thinking about it, it quickly became clear: he was used to being the "soil emperor" in his own village, and under the habitual thinking, he ......

In the face of this incident, the armed police have a headache, the reason is that their target is not criminals, if it is a criminal or an enemy, then it is better to say, people with sticks and steel pipes can scare the armed police? You must know that the armed police are all 56 Chong in their hands, and most of them have fought with the Yue devils.

But the problem is that these people with sticks and steel pipes are villagers, and they are people who do not know the truth or are bewitched by others, so the armed police force is deadlocked in the fight and withdrawal.

Leading this armed police force was a platoon commander named Zhao Xinming under Daniel Zhang, who immediately reported the situation to me in detail and asked for instructions.

The telegram I sent back was only one word, "Wai".

Of course, we can't fight in this situation, it's all ordinary people, and there is only one person we want to arrest.

Of course, it can't be withdrawn, this withdrawal is to give in, so that all parts of the country will follow suit, and it will be strange if there is no national chaos at that time.

So the best way is to "circumference...... Come to a counter-encirclement and cut off the village's transportation and supplies.

A considerable part of the villagers sided with Hu Zuoqiu because they had direct interests...... They themselves and their families work in Hu Zuoqiu's factory, and they depend on him for food.

But if we let them know that we have to do it, then their potential interest will disappear.

Coupled with the tremendous psychological pressure caused by the anti-encirclement, the tens of thousands of villagers who seem to be "united" will soon disperse.

Do they have a reason to take their whole family or even the whole village to follow the law for the sake of being a fool of Qiu? Those who really know how to do this are afraid that their heads are in water! (To be continued......)
