Rebirth of Minister Qi

In order to emphasize his next words, Zhao Lichun slammed his knuckles on the table twice. Old Hu has never been one of his people, or rather, Old Hu himself is a faction leader, but he is more inclined to Liang Qunfeng's side.

Zhao Lichun had always wanted to take the Public Security Bureau into his own hands, but Old Hu basically never gave him any chance. He rose too quickly and his work experience had always been in the economic and government field.

Even when he was the mayor and secretary of Jingzhou City, he could not get his hands involved in the political and legal field. Don't forget how strained his relationship with Chen Yanshi was at that time. Chen Yanshi was an old veteran and a veteran revolutionary at that time. Those were the years when Chen Yanshi was at his most glorious. In terms of influence in some aspects, his influence even surpassed that of Zhao Lichun. Zhao Lichun was already unhappy with Zhao Lichun, so how could he give him the opportunity to interfere in the political and legal field? As a result, Zhao Lichun failed to cultivate enough trustworthy political and legal cadres in a timely manner for so many years.

However, he is the governor, Lao Hu is the vice governor, and the Public Security Department is an important component of the provincial government. If there are problems at work, it is due procedure for him to conduct organizational criticism talks.

But for some reason, Liang Qunfeng insisted on coming over to join in. According to Zhao Lichun's idea, he would directly hit Old Hu and then interfere with the Handong Provincial Public Security Bureau. However, Liang Qunfeng was also there at this time, and it was obvious that he was there to protect Old Hu. So there were some things that could not be said now, otherwise he would only bring shame upon himself.

"The leader said this to all the cadres in Handong. The world of Handong still belongs to the party organization, not to any leading cadre.

I feel embarrassed to say this, and I don't know how to explain it to my superiors. I can say that theoretically it doesn't exist, but in reality it may exist.

Could I still tell my leader that Handong Province is a plain area, so where do all these mountains come from? Wouldn’t I be treating my leader as a fool?

If there is a collective confrontation between dispatched cadres and local cadres again, as happened in your Public Security Department, the provincial party committee and government will also be held accountable by their superiors.”

Zhao Lichun always speaks in a loud and bold voice. When he was the provincial governor, he never considered himself the second-in-command. Instead, he always regarded himself as the head of the entire province. Even when he was criticized by his superiors, he never forgot to give the top leader some compliments.

He must have said this in Beijing, saying that Handong is not the back garden of a certain leading cadre. If this word gets out, others will definitely think that the current provincial party secretary is running a family tyranny and practicing factionalism in Handong Province.

Zhao Lichun was indeed in a hurry to get promoted. His style of doing things was incompatible with the current provincial party committee leaders. The current top leader and most of the other people were radicals, and he and several deputies in the provincial government were radicals.

He believed that now was the best time to develop the economy and that we must seize the opportunity. However, he was promoted too quickly and failed to train enough team members. In addition, he is not the top leader now and cannot make his own decisions, so he is constrained in every way.

Although the leaders above promised that Zhao Lichun would retire directly when the current provincial party secretary's term was over, he would be the best candidate to take over. However, as long as things were not confirmed, they would be full of surprises and risks, which made people uneasy.

Liang Qunfeng actually felt that Zhao Lichun was making a veiled criticism. Although he was criticizing Hu Yuanchao and the Provincial Public Security Department, he was actually pointing his finger at him and scolding the old stubborn man.

"Governor Zhao, the atmosphere in the Provincial Public Security Department is still very harmonious. Both local and dispatched cadres are working together sincerely.

You see, this is the crackdown action plan that the provincial department has come up with.”

The plan described Operation Cold War, and Zhao Lichun flipped through it.

"The leadership group above is not high enough, and it seems that the provincial party committee does not pay enough attention to it."

The above leading group consists of only a few people from the Provincial Public Security Department, namely Hu Yuanchao as the group leader, Liu Dexu as the first deputy group leader, and Qi Tongwei and other members as deputy group leaders in name only.

"So what does Governor Zhao mean?"

Seeing Liang Qunfeng pretending to be stupid, Zhao Lichun didn't have the patience to beat around the bush with him. He was getting anxious now.

In fact, Zhao Lichun was anxious partly because of Qi Tongwei. Everyone still remembers that when Qi Tongwei was working on the public security data of the six eastern provinces in the Third Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, he always ranked the data of the six eastern provinces in private.

As a result, Handong Province ranked last in many data rankings, and the development situation and public security data of Handong were criticized at ministerial meetings for several months.

It successfully planted the impression in the ministers' minds that the public security situation in Handong Province was extremely poor. In fact, compared with some central provinces, the public security in Handong Province was acceptable.

However, Qi Tongwei's accumulated data comparison skills could not be resisted. Although these are real data, whether a student is an excellent student or a poor student depends on who they are compared with.

For example, the most classic one is the Michaelis-Menten comparison method, which shows the advantages of the tricycle and the Cullinan.

1. Whether it is a panoramic convertible or not, the tricycle wins.

2. Whether it is new energy electric, three-wheeled vehicles win

3. In terms of fuel consumption, the three-wheeled vehicle consumes zero liters of fuel per kilometers, while the Cullinan consumes liters of fuel per kilometers. The three-wheeled vehicle wins completely.

Although this comparison is a bit exaggerated, Qi Tongwei used this kind of technique to continuously make various comparisons in the ministerial meetings. Compared with the good data, Handong is not as good as Jiangdong and other top students, and these achievements are not worth mentioning.

Compared with the poor data, combined with Handong's own advantageous position, prominent plains, the ancient capital of Six Dynasties, transportation hub and other advantages, it really can't be any worse.

The leaders themselves did not notice any difference after just one or two comparisons of data, but Qi Tongwei continued to make such comparisons over several months, which made the ministers really feel that the public security situation in Handong had become so bad that it could not get any worse.

This is the power of subtle propaganda. Even a middle-level cadre in charge of data can completely change the leaders' impression of a region, thus achieving Qi Tongwei's purpose of being sent to Handong Province.

Of course, Qi Tongwei achieved his goal and was successfully assigned to Handong, but he left a huge hidden danger for Handong Province in the minds of the top leaders.

Because if the ministers really feel that the situation in Handong is bad, they will take the data to report to the core leadership. The reason why Zhao Lichun was called to the State Council and criticized actually originated from this.

Once the bad impression was planted, especially as Handong Province's development and public security were poor, and Qi Tongwei and the other man caused a big fuss at the Provincial Public Security Department, the top leaders were convinced that Handong Province was excluding outside cadres.

So these two were combined and the conclusion was drawn that there were problems with the Handong Provincial Party Committee team, serious factionalism, and exclusion of outside cadres, which led to poor economic development and deteriorating public security conditions in Handong Province.
