Return To 1977 Chapter 23: Military representatives

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

13:10 pm. The office of the director of Dongzhuang Police Station was filled with smoke.

The policemen were all expert smokers, and they were huddled together in the small room, puffing away smoke. The Dongzhuang Police Station has a total of fourteen personnel, including one military representative, two chief and deputy directors, and eleven civilian police officers. They are all here now.

Among the policemen, only Xing Zhengyi and Zhao Zhenmin were classmates. They are all students from the first batch of public security schools that resumed enrollment in 1973, which is what people in the industry commonly call the public school’s twentieth batch. When the commune was first selected, there were only three places for every thousand educated youths, and they were both the lucky ones chosen. After graduating from public school last year, they were assigned to the Dongzhuang Police Station as police officers to manage more than 1,300 households in these six streets.

Among the remaining policemen at the police station, only four are the original old people. Among the remaining people, two are demobilized soldiers who have transferred to other jobs, and there are also two workers and a middle school teacher, all of whom came here through connections. These days, the people's police have a relatively high status in society and are very popular, so being able to work in the public security bureau is an ideal pursued by many young people.

In addition to these regular policemen, there were more than twenty worker militiamen who participated in the arrest just now. This group has the characteristics of the times, and its full name is the "Capital Workers Militia." Equivalent to the role of today's zone defender. Precisely because they are auxiliary personnel outside the establishment, they do not attend the official work meetings of the police station.

The atmosphere in the room was depressing. Zhao Zhenmin was reporting the entire process of the arrest to the military representatives.

Xing Zhengyi, who was sitting on a stool on one side, was still wearing the work clothes from the noon operation. His ears were not listening at all, and he felt as if he had eaten two bitter gourds.

The reason for today's arrest operation was a report from the security director of the Dongzhuang Police Station, saying that many residents reported that a group of people had been occupying the toilets in Chakou recently, disrupting the residents' daily life. The military representative originally thought this was a trivial matter and left it to the streets to handle on their own, but Director Qin, who has been working in public security for decades, picked up on the clues and concluded that it was probably a theft gang using this toilet to "skip the bag." .

The military representative didn't believe it, so he fought with Director Qin about it. Director Qin decided to let the facts speak for themselves. He personally took Xing Zhengyi down to track and investigate, and it took only two days to figure out the activity patterns and behavioral characteristics of the group. It can be deduced that they should be a group of professional thieves who hang out at Yongdingmen Railway Station, and this toilet is their usual place to divide the stolen goods.

What is there to argue about? It can be completely characterized as a "rogue theft group".

There is really nothing to argue with, so let’s arrest them.

Oh, arrest someone? That's not as easy as you think.

Since the "movement" period, public security organs have implemented military control. In order to supervise the work and thinking of public security personnel, the army transferred many military cadres to the public security system to serve as military representatives. Therefore, the military representatives were almost equivalent to the supervisors of the feudal society, and they were truly "one level higher than official officials" no matter where they were. From top to bottom in every unit, whoever is the leader must listen to the military representatives.

The military representative from Dongzhuang Police Station is Tian Fulai, a company commander from the 5xx5 unit. He is fifty years younger and has just been sent here a few months ago. He cares very much about what others call him. Anyone who calls him a military representative will only get a half-clear look on his face. He must call him Captain Tian to clear the air.

Company Commander Tian loves face very much. Although his actual work ability and cultural level are not high, he likes to organize meetings to study and guide ideas. As a result, within a few days of his arrival, everyone saw the true level of his supreme leader.

For a while, the radio played a poem written by the great leader every day. Various units and schools require study as usual, and Company Commander Tian naturally has to take charge of the study work at the police station. No one expected that when he explained the meaning of the poem line by line, he actually interpreted the word "old appearance with new appearance" in the poem as "the leader requires us to maintain a hard and simple life style."

The policemen talked a lot in surprise, but Captain Tian was very convincing. He said: "Replace an old hat with a new brim and save cloth for the country. What is it but hardship and simplicity?" The result was this. As a result, all the policemen lowered their heads and laughed secretly uncontrollably. Only Captain Tian touched the back of his head, confused.

Not long after this incident, I caught up with another newspaper reading and study session, and it was still Captain Tian who read the leadership poems to everyone. When he saw the sentence "The warrior looks at southern Guangdong, it is even more lush and green", he actually read it out loud in his native dialect with an accent, "...the warrior looks at southern Austria, it is even more lush...".

As soon as these words came out, the policemen couldn't hold back even if they resisted. As Liu Yitong coughed violently, everyone burst into laughter. From then on, everyone privately gave Captain Tian a nickname - "Youhuer".

This time, Company Commander Tian also knew that he had lost a lot of face, so he became angry on the spot and said that everyone lacked seriousness in reading the newspaper, so he went up to the line and severely criticized everyone. Especially Liu, who coughed first, was forced to write the examination for three days in a row.

How can people say good things to such a leader? In fact, everyone understood that Captain Tian was targeting Liu, using his power to maintain his own image of a "great and tall" leader.

But the more face you have, the less face you have. Captain Tian's behavior of calling a deer a horse but refusing to allow others to correct him only further proves his inferiority and stinginess. Later, someone got the news and came back and said that Company Commander Tian had attended literacy classes three times and was now semi-literate. Everyone suddenly realized this. Ever since they found out about Captain Tian's background and character, the policemen all disapproved of him and only maintained superficial respect for him.

No matter how much everyone thinks of Captain Tian, ​​the real leadership of the police station is still in the hands of the military representative, even if he is a petty illiterate and a bastard. Take the theft gang who shared the stolen goods in the toilet as an example. Although Director Qin was proved correct, Captain Tian lost face because of this. Therefore, when it came time to approve the operation, Captain Tian showed unusual "prudentness".

How many police personnel are needed for the operation?

There are a lot of things to do in film management, and people are needed everywhere.

Who will lead the team?

Director Qin is old after all, so he should give young cadres more opportunities to exercise.

Where to arrest?

If you cross your own jurisdiction, comrades from other police stations will have objections.

Inform the station police station and take action together?

No, the credit of comrades should be shared with outsiders.

All reasons became Captain Tian’s excuses. In his mouth, there are many details that can be "researched and studied". In fact, to put it bluntly, everyone knows what he thinks. It's just that Director Qin is right, isn't he, Captain Tian, ​​wrong? If Director Qin performs meritorious service, doesn't it make him, Captain Tian, ​​incompetent? He, Captain Tian, ​​had lost his face and had eaten a lot of roast chicken, so naturally he couldn't make others happy.

Actually, in addition to these, Captain Tian had another plan for not approving the operation. That is because he originally wanted his cronies, Deputy Director Sun, to seize the opportunity to lead the arrest team. However, he did not expect that Deputy Director Sun was a man who only talked but did not take action. He would just be vague and retreat at the critical moment, which made his wishful thinking come to nothing.

As for the wrangling stalls, the grassroots policemen have been dragged to the point of becoming restless. Captain Tian is the one who leads the troops, and he knows that if it is delayed any longer, it will definitely dampen enthusiasm. There was really no need to delay, so he finally agreed to let Director Qin command the operation.

Director Qin seemed confident. After discussions at the meeting, he decisively decided to set up an ambush near the toilet where the theft gang was dividing the stolen goods. When the gang of thieves gathered together, they would steal the stolen goods and catch them all. Everyone agreed after hearing this and thought this was the best arrest plan.

At noon today, the police gathered their strength and went out in full force. They set up an ambush with the workers' militia and stayed there until noon. Originally, he wanted to have a beautiful and round baby, so that he could give the old director some credit, but no one expected that it would turn out like this in the end.
