Hong Kong was the largest base of the British Navy in the Far East. Unlike Kowloon and other places that had been conquered by Second Crow, Hong Kong was now a bare Hong Kong island. On the other side of Kowloon, China was expanding its batteries and installing the latest heavy artillery.
Wang Mingshan was the Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee. The reason he attended the Military Commission meeting was that, according to the party, government, and military system, Wang Mingshan could become a deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the Military Region in the event of a war or natural disaster that was limited to the Guangdong area. The atmosphere of war had inexplicably become stronger. Hong Kong was the bridgehead of the British invasion of China. At that time, the Liberation Army had to move the Central Command to Foshan to avoid the British. After the Central Command moved to Nanjing, Guangzhou could still feel the pressure from Hong Kong. Hong Kong was now undoubtedly a thorn in the throat of the Guangdong side. If it was not pulled out, it would be too uncomfortable.
The army's attitude was clear. Wang Mingshan had also personally inspected the Tiger Gate Battery and the new Kowloon Battery. At least with his little military knowledge, he could not see any problems. This matter could only be explained to this extent. The army also had their own thoughts. The political commissar of the Guangzhou Military Region asked, "How is the work of catching and cleaning up the traitors?"
Wang Mingshan knew that this question could not be avoided. He could only answer, "We have found some problems."
After saying that, he subconsciously pursed his lips and thought for a moment before continuing, "But some of them are close to some of the leaders."
No one was surprised. Whether it was the army or the party and government departments, they did not find this news surprising. Of course, the leaders had to take care of their relatives and friends. Customs, a disaster area, was recognized as a lucrative position. Many people had money in their pockets.
No one supported this, and no one said anything. Were they going to oppose the investigation of the traitors at this time? Or did they support taking action against the families of the leaders? Vézé was a relative who had killed him. Once there was a benchmark, it was very difficult to speak up later. Due to various different opinions, no one continued to discuss this matter at this point.
After the meeting, Wang Mingshan and Pang Congcong went to the office to see Lin Asheng. Lin Asheng had secretly arrived in Guangzhou with the cadres of the Central Political and Legal Committee. Lin Asheng was much older than the two of them, and he was a true veteran of the Yong An Army. The people in Wuzhou might dare to compete with the Yongan brothers in terms of seniority, but the two from Anhui and Hubei really did not dare. Even though they were local tyrants, they were very obedient to Lin Asheng.
Lin Asheng asked, "Is the armed police ready?"
"I'm ready," Wang Mingshan replied.
"Since you're ready, I think we can start arresting the first batch of people," Lin Asheng said calmly.
Pang Congcong was still very worried. She said nervously, "Secretary Lin, the people involved... Does the commander-in-chief know about these people?"
Lin Asheng looked at the nervous Pang Congcong and asked with a gloomy face, "They were arrested according to the law. They were arrested because they are suspected of committing a crime. "Commander" Wang "Army General" Hua, "I," He "
"I know he won't let them go, so I want to ask if he knows." Pang Congcong's answer could be considered brave.
Lin Asheng stared at Pang Congcong. "He definitely doesn't know who they are, but he definitely knows about this," Lin Asheng replied.
"There are some people I can't afford to offend. Director Lin, if you don't show up in person, I'm worried that they will retaliate." Pang Congcong was not afraid of Lin Asheng at all.
As a veteran leader of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Lin Asheng smiled and said, "Oh? Do they have something on you? "
Knowing how dangerous this matter was, Pang Congcong was ready to risk it all. She said bluntly, "Some people were promoted by me, so I am also responsible if something happens. Pang Congcong, what kind of people did you hire? I opened my mouth but couldn't say anything. "
Lin Asheng stared at Pang Congcong for a while and suddenly smiled. "So you also know that you have to take responsibility for getting rid of the organization organization."
Pang Congcong looked back at Lin Asheng and said very clearly, "But at that time, I didn't have so many suitable candidates. I don't want to say that there is a problem with the organization organization, but there is a lack of comrades who understand industrial management in the organization organization. The people they chose did not perform well in industrial positions. Our Guangdong industry has such a heavy task. If we can't complete the task, my responsibility will be even greater. "
"No wonder the comrades in the organization organization compromised with you later." After Lin Asheng finished speaking, he looked at Wang Mingshan. "Comrade Wang Mingshan, I heard that you are also on Comrade Pang Congcong's side."
"If we can't complete the task and keep changing managers, I can only choose to complete the task first. I do have responsibility, but we really had no choice at that time. "Wang Mingshan saw that Pang Congcong was ready to risk it all, so he was not a coward.
"Then did the two of you plant your relatives?" Lin Asheng asked.
Pang Congcong's heart was very relaxed, but she replied with a serious expression, "Both of us only have our families in Guangdong, so we can't plant anyone. If there is, it is also a decision of the organization. My wife works in the logistics of the Guangzhou military. I heard that he might be transferred to the National Tax Bureau. "
"You're quite confident in yourself!" Lin Asheng looked at Pang Congcong for a moment and finally said, "In the past, I thought that some of the commander-in-chief's policies were a little too much. Now, the more I look at it, the more I feel that the commander-in-chief really doesn't want to be ruthless to everyone. He always wants to take care of everyone's reputation, but some comrades just take advantage of him. They always think that if they want to conquer the world, why can't they get some benefits? Back then, whenever we mentioned corrupt officials, we would gnash our teeth in hatred, and whenever we mentioned those fellows who flaunted their power, we would be so angry that we wanted to kill them. Now, it seems that many people just hate that they don't have the chance to be greedy. When they have the chance, they won't fall behind at all. "
Joining the military in a different place, joining politics in a different place. These were all the systems set by Vézé. The former was implemented very thoroughly, while the latter was implemented with a lot of opposition. Now, Pang Congcong and Wang Mingshan both realized that this system was not something that Vézé had nothing better to do. The relationships at the local level were complicated, and the old revolutionaries had great power. In theory, the Organization Department had the power to watch over the cadres, or even direct leadership. However, the Organization Department that was completely undisturbed was probably only the Central Organization Department, which was led by an absolute old revolutionary, Wei Changrong. As long as it was out of the capital, all kinds of forces had some influence on the Organization Department. And because the leaders of the Party and government in Guangdong were working in a different place, they had relatively fewer things to do. Of course, they also encountered very strong resistance from the local forces in Guangdong.
However, Lin Asheng did not say more about Wang Mingshan and Pang Congcong. He changed the topic back to the current problem. "Gather all the cadres in Guangdong for a meeting. I want to meet everyone."
"Yes!" Wang Mingshan and Pang Congcong answered at the same time.
Three days later, Lin Asheng appeared in front of the Guangdong Party, government, and military cadres. Most people did not know that Lin Asheng had arrived. When they saw the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee wearing a retired general's uniform, some were surprised and surprised, while others felt their insides tremble!
Lin Asheng was in charge of the Political and Legal Committee. Those who respected him called him "Lord Bao Lin", while those who disliked him privately called him "King of Hell Lin". When Vézé's relatives had broken the law, when they heard that Lin Asheng had personally handled the case, none of the people who had wanted to intercede on his behalf dared to ask Lin Asheng for mercy. During the recent evaluation, Lin Asheng was the first old revolutionary to receive the rank of General. Looking at his retired general's uniform, as well as the pine and cypress leaves on his shoulders and the three-star rank insignia, no one dared to breathe too loudly.
King of Hell Lin did not disappoint. He first read out a list of names, then said, "These comrades, please accept investigation."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of bailiffs came up and took them away. At the door, there were armed policemen with loaded guns. The cadres whose names weren't called didn't even dare to question them. However, when they saw the people who were usually good at making money being taken away, some people could not hide the smile on their faces. Those who had a guilty conscience had their faces drained of blood.
With Lin Asheng in charge, the reorganization of Guangdong was carried out at an extremely fast speed. The customs were the hardest hit, and more than 30% of the cadres, big and small, were arrested. Correspondingly, various places quickly mobilized people who had passed the customs examination to fill the vacancies.
When the news reached Nanjing, the faces of many central cadres became extremely ugly. After treating Vézé coldly for a month, Hu Chenghe finally took the initiative to find Vézé. The two sat down facing each other, and Hu Chenghe asked, "Commander-in-chief, I heard that many people were arrested in Guangdong!"
This time, Vézé did not ask Hu Chenghe where he got the news from. He replied, "Indeed, there is such a thing."
"How could so many people betray the country?!" Hu Chenghe asked, a hint of anger on his face as he spoke.
"There is no logical connection between being arrested and treason," Vézé replied calmly.
"Then what about the people who were arrested?" Hu Chenghe was really angry, and his tone was not polite at all.
Hu Chenghe was not polite, and Vézé's tone was also quite cold. "Most of them took bribes or were simply involved in smuggling. Moreover, this is only a part of the people who were arrested, and the evidence is conclusive. As the investigation continues, more people will be arrested. "
After hearing Vézé's words, Hu Chenghe was slightly stunned. The news from Guangdong was like a ghost wailing and the wolves howling. The news of the arrest of the spies had already spread to Guangzhou, and no matter how unhappy Hu Chenghe was with Vézé, he could not support the traitors. When discussing the arrest of the traitors in private, Hu Chenghe and the others' attitude was very clear. No matter who committed treason, they would kill them if they were caught. As long as Hu Chenghe knew who the traitors were, he would not let them go!
Everyone was unhappy with Vézé because Vézé was too involved, and he was obviously worried about many things. They had never seen someone who was so involved.
The old brothers were basically born in Guangdong and Guangxi, and they all had relatives and friends in Guangzhou. After learning that so many people were arrested in Guangdong, the others thought that Vézé was going to be ruthless, and they were all frightened. Hu Chenghe felt that there must be a reason why Vézé did this, so he simply asked Vézé for clarification. He learned that most of the people who were arrested took bribes and were involved in smuggling. He did not know what to say for a moment.
