Chapter 61: Pacification
Temporary Command.
It was already twelve o'clock in the evening. But the lights were still bright in the headquarters. Mayor Liu Zheng and other dignitaries stared wide-eyed, and their faces were very ugly.
The guard platoon directly under the division and the urgently transferred police have formed a defensive line outside the headquarters to prevent the excited survivors from rushing into the headquarters.
"Sue me what's going on?"
Liu Zheng's face was pale, and the marching table was knocked loudly. He hatefully stared at a middle-aged fat man in a police uniform sitting opposite him, and scolded angrily.
"How did you become the head of the Public Security Bureau? I have repeatedly stressed the need to ensure social order. What has become of the common people now? Insurrection? Hum...... Is it too long to live and want to die early? You might as well just give the city something to eat. ”
Fan Yitong, the director of the public security bureau, was pale, and he only listened to the training, where did he dare to speak out. He hadn't figured it out until now. Hasn't there been harmony in the evacuation zone all this time?
After venting the anger in his heart, Liu Zheng regained his former calm. He glanced at Fan Yitong, who was in a cold sweat, and then moved his gaze to the others.
"Everyone, the shape shì is urgent. I'm not going to talk nonsense anymore. As far as possible, we came up with a plan to quell the riot and stabilize the social order. This is the most important task at the moment. ”
Speaking of this, he glanced at Fan Yitong, a trace of almost undetectable hatred flashed in his eyes, and then added: "Try to resolve this riot peacefully." This means of repression by force can only be left to the end. This is the principle, and it is the principle that we have to abide by. In a word, to quell this violent ...... in the shortest possible time and in the mildest way This turmoil. ”
The mayor spoke, and a group of government dignitaries lowered their heads and began to discuss. Liu Zheng sat in a chair with a gloomy face as he watched his men discuss how to quell the riot.
After waiting for nearly an hour, he still didn't hear a plan that could be handled. His face darkened even more. He didn't know what was going on in the hearts of these old oilmen under his hands.
When disaster strikes, the government's credibility has fallen to freezing point. Where are these old oilers willing to take the risk to face those excited survivors? To Xiaoli, the person who stood up was scolded for being a bloody dog. If you don't say a good word, you will be beaten to death.
The troops have guns, but who dares to give the order to shoot at the common people. Once the gun is fired, the epidemic will be charged in the future, and social order will be restored. At that time, it was not just a matter of losing the black hat. How could the central government turn a blind eye, maybe in order to rebuild the credibility of the government, who else can carry this black cauldron?
"A bunch of trash."
The more Liu Zheng thought about it, the more angry he became. He waited for another half an hour, and saw that these people under his hands were still skillfully playing Tai Chi Tui, and his face suddenly turned pale, and he stood up and strode outside the headquarters.
Fan Yitong and the others looked at each other, and immediately got up and followed. Since the mayor is willing to make the first bird, it is much easier to do it.
The temporary headquarters is located in the Qishan District Government. At this time, a defensive line consisting of sandbags, railings and other objects has been established at the gate of the district office. A large number of survivors were crowded outside the defense line, and the scene was somewhat chaotic, and there was a tendency to storm the defense line. The guard platoon and the police officers who were temporarily transferred complained secretly.
Hit, without an order from above, who would dare to shoot this? Who is going to shoot that?
If you don't fight, these people will be excited, and they may impact the government at any time, causing irreparable losses.
They were anxious, waiting for the leaders in the command to come up with a plan to quell the riot. After all, although the situation is severe, it has not caused real damage after all.
That's almost two hours. Seeing that the survivors outside were becoming more and more excited, and gradually had a tendency to storm the defensive line, they all secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and grabbed the guns in their hands at the same time.
At this time, Liu Zheng walked out. As soon as he appeared, the survivors outside were immediately agitated and chattered.
"Why hasn't the government done anything?"
"You're all a bunch of moths, what have you done besides embezzlement?"
"We drink the northwest wind outside, they all eat and drink and have fun inside, we must give an explanation!"
‘……’
In the face of the agitated people pouring dirty water on the government team led by him, Liu Zheng was so angry that his mouth trembled. He admits that he is not a clean official. But he dared to swear with his head. Since the outbreak of the virus, he has not been greedy for ink and made a fortune.
He is only in his forties, which is still very young in terms of officialdom and has a great future. He has a backstage. It was his backstage who personally told him that this was an opportunity. As long as we survive this period and the epidemic is brought under control, it will be the time to reward meritorious deeds.
In this sudden disaster, various departments of the provincial government suffered heavy losses. As long as the situation in City A is stabilized, coupled with the help of the backstage, he is very likely to sit in the position of vice governor.
And now these people, whom they have painstakingly protected, actually say that the government leadership is greedy for ink. He was so hard to accept that he almost exploded. Fortunately, he has been in officialdom for many years, and his mental temperament has been honed to a high level. After a little press to relieve the anger in his heart, he took the horn handed by the person next to him and shouted.
"Everyone be quiet, listen to me."
Perhaps there is still a little confidence in the government, or it may be that the survivors who came to the headquarters to protest have calmed down their feverish heads after these few hours. As soon as Liu Zheng spoke, the scene quickly quieted down.
Liu Zheng saw that the survivors were quiet, and the biggest stone in his heart was finally put down. I am not afraid that the people will make trouble, but I am afraid that the people will be too impulsive and refuse to listen to persuasion. Once you listen to persuasion, things will be much easier.
"Everybody listens to me."
He persuaded bitterly: "You can mention any difficulties you have." But doing so is neither legal nor reasonable. You all know me. I'm the mayor. I have a responsibility and a task to solve your problems. I'll leave it here. As long as you have difficulties. I can send someone to solve it for you right away. ”
As soon as the words fell, the crowd suddenly boiled. Survivors scrambled to make all sorts of demands. For a time, the entrance of the Qishan District Government was like a vegetable market. A huge wave of sound hovered in the sky for a long time.
"Quiet, quiet, everybody!"
When Liu Zheng saw it, it was broken, and hurriedly remedied it. This time it lasted nearly ten minutes before the crowd quieted down. When the survivors were all quiet, he quickly announced an order in public.
"The government has decided to set up a complaint station. If you have any questions, you can go there and ask them. Now that so many people are here, I only have two ears. In case something is missing, what else do I have to face you? Do you think that's the case? ”
The survivors looked at each other, and when they thought about it, it was indeed the truth. It's so noisy here. Even if he made a request, he couldn't reach the mayor's ears.
Seeing this, Liu Zheng immediately struck while the iron was hot, turned around and ordered a few of his subordinates, and ordered them to get a chair to sit at the door, and write down all the people's demands.
At this moment, no one was willing to stop what seemed ridiculous to them. Compared to how to clean up the mess after the incident, it is much better to ensure that the people do not riot at the moment. Take 10,000 steps back, and when this riot subsides, you can use the procrastination trick. This is my own housekeeping skill.
Without the leader, the people are not a plate of loose sand, they can do whatever they want, and they can't afford to turn over the wind and waves.
As a result, Liu Zheng's order was listed as the first priority to be carried out at an unprecedented rate. When the survivors saw the mayor's resolute behavior, they secretly congratulated themselves on meeting a good official. They didn't get an inch inch, and consciously lined up.
In less than half an hour, the outside of the Qishan District Government became orderly. The survivors stepped forward one by one and made their demands to the government workers designated by Liu Zheng.
The riot subsided, and the big stone in the hearts of Liu Zheng and other government dignitaries was completely put down. He looked at the orderly procession outside and secretly took chances. But as soon as he saw Fan Yitong standing beside him, his mood immediately became bad.
"Director Fan, come in with me."
With that, he snorted heavily and walked through the door with his hands behind his back. When Fan Yitong heard this, the cold sweat that had just been put down came out again.
I'm afraid I'm going to be unlucky for this posture.
Sure enough, he followed Liu Zheng into an empty office in the district government. As soon as the door closed, he was greeted with a stormy scolding.
"How did you become the chief of public security?"
"Do you have a brain?"
"I have repeatedly stressed the need for social stability. Do you take my words as a deaf ear? ”
"You can do it yourself, this matter can't be handled well. Don't be the chief of the public security bureau. Give Lao Tzu the experience below. ”
Liu Zheng scolded him bitterly, and his mood improved a little. He glanced at Fan Yitong, who was silent and didn't dare to speak, snorted heavily, and casually wanted to pick up the teacup and drink some tea. Just then, the door opened, and a civil servant walked in in a panic.
"Mayor, there's news from below. There are many lawbreakers who are smashing on the doors of ordinary people......"
"What?"
Liu Zheng was dumbfounded, his right hand froze in the air. After a while, he hurried to the door in a hurry. When he passed by Fan Yitong's side, he saw Fan Yitong accompanying him with a smiling face, and his face suddenly turned pale, and he scolded.
"You're a pig's brain. Didn't hear that there were rioters? Hurry up and gather people for Lao Tzu to suppress these lawbreakers. ”
"But you weren't ...... just now"
Fan Yitong was covered in cold sweat and said half of his words. When Liu Zheng heard this, he almost didn't give Fan Yitong, who was holding his thigh and sitting in the seat of the director of the public security bureau, angry.
"Those people outside are ordinary people, and they can solve the problem by grooming and grooming. Those guys who are still smashing people's doors now, that's the outlaws. It is our duty to protect the interests of ordinary people from being harmed. Not to protect the wrongdoers. ”
In the end, Fan Yitong is his confidant. He didn't chill Fan Yitong's heart, and patiently explained two simple sentences. Fan Yitong suddenly realized, and nodded yes again and again.
"Yes, yes, our duty is to protect the people."
With that, he quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, hurried ahead, and went to gather men to suppress the riot. Unexpectedly, at this time, Liu Zheng stopped him again.
"After quelling the riot, we went to find out who had provoked it. Don't be perfunctory to me. This time, even if it is my own son, he will be severely punished. ”
When Fan Yitong heard this, his face immediately felt a little more powerful as the director of the public security bureau.
"Okay, I'll check it out for myself later. Gotta get these bastards caught. ”
