Chapter 308 Two Battlefronts
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Xue proposed a plan: "I suggest adopting a strategy of being relaxed on the outside but tight on the inside, and proceeding on two fronts simultaneously."
Han Ying and Ding Yi listened quietly.
Lin Xue continued, "The first line is to build a firewall, which we'll call the firewall line for now."
The city should establish a supervisory team, and the team leader should ideally be a high-ranking figure, such as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, the Minister of Organization, or the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress.
The high rank and significant influence of the team leader are a powerful deterrent in themselves.
The supervisory team, under the guise of routine work supervision, was to be stationed in Qingshan County as soon as possible.
After the supervisory team arrives, it should promptly convey the latest spirit and requirements of the municipal party committee regarding strict discipline during the leadership transition, inspect the preparations for the leadership transition in Qingshan County, and conduct a serious reminder talk on leadership transition discipline with the main leaders of the county party committee, people's congress, government, and CPPCC, as well as the heads of various delegations.
The meeting reiterated the "Ten Prohibitions and Ten Strict Measures" and emphasized zero tolerance for vote-buying, lobbying, interference in the election process, and other such behaviors. Every case discovered will be investigated and dealt with without exception.
The supervisory team must take a clear stance and create a strong political and disciplinary deterrent, so that those with ulterior motives dare not act rashly again.
"The second line is to lay out a reconnaissance network, which can be called a reconnaissance line."
The firewall cable is visible, but this cable is hidden.
The covert operation, spearheaded by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and coordinated by the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department and the Municipal Public Security Bureau, secretly entered Qingshan County.
The inspection team's high-profile actions were both a warning and a way to attract attention.
Meanwhile, the covert team must conduct its substantive investigation quietly.
This team needs to be lean and efficient, with high political integrity, strong professional skills, and minimal conflicts of interest with Qingshan County.
Now, aren't there two independent leads: the deputy director of the county statistics bureau and Hu Quanyou? Follow the clues, dig deeper, find out the network of relationships, the flow of funds, the scope of the connection, and solidify the chain of evidence.
In particular, it is necessary to find out who is behind it, who is providing financial support, and whether county leaders are involved.
The covert operations teams must be secretive, flexible, and precise; they will not withdraw until the situation is fully investigated and a complete victory is achieved.
Lin Xue's gaze swept over Han Ying and Ding Yiyi, and she continued, "The two lines, one overt and one covert, have clear divisions of labor and cooperate and support each other."
The supervisory team openly warned and pressured those who were tempted to make moves, while also creating conditions for our covert investigation.
The undercover agents conduct reconnaissance in secret, providing solid evidence for ultimately resolving the problem.
However, the two lines should not intersect in the county as much as possible. The supervisory team should not interfere with the investigation of the undercover line, and the undercover line should not be exposed to the supervisory team.
Secretary Han, you will directly command the covert operations team. As for the supervisory group, who do you think is suitable to be the group leader?
After a moment's thought, Han Ying replied, "Secretary Lin, I think it would be more suitable for Comrade Guo Dong, the director of the Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee, to take on this role."
There are three reasons: First, Director Guo is a senior leader in the city, highly respected and influential, and capable of maintaining order and demonstrating the high importance the municipal party committee attaches to the county people's congress meeting.
Second, the election of the People's Congress is a statutory duty of the People's Congress system. It is perfectly legitimate for the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress to lead the supervision team, which will not cause too much unnecessary speculation.
Third, Director Guo is principled and has a tough style. His direct approach to emphasizing election discipline is more effective and intimidating than that of leaders from the organization department.
Lin Xue nodded and said, "I think it's okay, then it's settled."
I personally communicated with Director Guo and asked him to lead a team. The Organization Department and the Municipal People's Congress will also select several capable personnel to form a supervisory group, which will be stationed in Qingshan County tomorrow.
After the supervisory team goes down to the site, they should hold large-scale meetings and talks to repeatedly and thoroughly explain the disciplinary requirements of "ten prohibitions and ten absolute prohibitions," creating a high-pressure environment.
After deploying the work along two lines, Lin Xue said, "This is an election defense battle, and also a cleanup of the political ecosystem."
We must show everyone that engaging in unauthorized activities and challenging organizational principles, no matter how covert the methods, is doomed to failure and will inevitably come at a heavy price.
……
Led by Guo Dong, director of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress, the municipal supervision team arrived in Qingshan County.
County Party Committee Meeting Room.
A meeting was held.
County leaders including Geng Dongqing, Ding Yiyi, and Cheng Tanzhi participated.
After the meeting, Guo Dong and Geng Dongqing had a private conversation.
With a smile on his face, Geng Dongqing said the usual platitudes that never go wrong: "Director Guo, your personal leadership of the team to supervise the meeting fully demonstrates the high importance that the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal People's Congress attach to our Qingshan County People's Congress. Our County Party Committee will definitely cooperate fully with the supervision team to ensure that the meeting is conducted in a clean and upright manner and is a complete success."
Guo Dong nodded, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and slowly said, "Comrade Dongqing, you are the leader of the Qingshan County Party Committee and the front-line commander."
Whether this People's Congress, especially the election task, can be successfully completed and the organization's intentions realized, depends on you, as the county party secretary, as the primary and greatest responsibility.
Secretary Lin attached great importance to the leadership transition election in Qingshan County.
She asked me to convey that the Qingshan County Party Committee must earnestly assume its primary responsibility, especially you, as the main person in charge of the County Party Committee, must personally take charge and assume overall responsibility.
Upholding the Party's leadership, fully promoting democracy, and strictly adhering to the law must be integrated throughout the entire election process to ensure that the Party Committee's intentions are realized through legal procedures.
Geng Dongqing stated, "Director Guo, please rest assured, Secretary Lin, the county party committee attaches great importance to this election and has held several meetings of the Standing Committee and the Leading Group for the Re-election to make arrangements and formulate detailed plans."
We will certainly strengthen the Party's leadership, strictly enforce discipline during the leadership transition, and ensure that the election process is smooth and orderly.
Guo Dong stared at Geng Dongqing: "Having a contingency plan is not enough; the key is to see how it is implemented and how effective it is."
There are some discordant voices and bad trends in society now, and we must be vigilant.
Have we grasped the representatives' ideological dynamics? Are there any unstable factors? Is anyone engaging in underhanded tactics or pulling strings behind the scenes?
The county party committee must be aware of all these things, conduct advance assessments, and take proactive measures to resolve problems at their earliest stages.
Geng Dongqing felt a chill run down his spine. Had the city heard something?
Geng Dongqing was well aware that Cheng Tanzhi was making underhanded moves, but he turned a blind eye, neither supporting nor opposing them.
Not supporting someone is just an outward appearance of not supporting them. Not opposing someone outwardly is actually a form of support.
He secretly recorded his conversation with Cheng Tanzhi last time.
These were all backup plans he left behind.
If Cheng Tanzhi's bribery is exposed, Geng Dongqing can distance himself from it, because in that speech, his attitude was clear: he opposed doing things that went against the organization's intentions.
Geng Dongqing remained calm and replied, "Director Guo's reminder was very timely."
We have also learned that some representatives are communicating more frequently than usual, but from our initial understanding, most of it is just normal year-end visits and exchanges to maintain relationships.
Of course, we will not let our guard down. We have already asked the heads of each delegation to strengthen management and closely monitor the movements of the delegates, and have repeatedly emphasized the disciplinary requirements of "ten prohibitions and ten absolute rules."
Guo Dong nodded and emphasized, "Building relationships? Comrade Dongqing, you need to understand that during this sensitive period of elections, excessive building relationships may be a disguised form of canvassing, which is an unauthorized activity."
The county party committee must keep its eyes open and improve its political discernment.
I'm reminding you that if the election goes wrong or goes against the organization's intentions because the county party committee fails to perform its duties or supervises effectively, then the first person to be held accountable will be you, the county party secretary.
This is not just a work mistake, but a political responsibility!
Geng Dongqing quickly replied, "Yes, yes, Director Guo's instructions were spot on and served as a wake-up call for us."
We will definitely redeploy and re-investigate, prioritizing discipline and rules, resolutely stopping and severely punishing any emerging or potential problems, without any leniency or accommodation!
Guo Dong's expression turned stern, and he raised his voice: "It's not enough to just say to deal with it seriously, I want absolute certainty!"
A successful election is your duty as the county party secretary;
If there are problems with the election, it's your dereliction of duty, or even malfeasance, as the county party secretary!
At that point, it won't be a simple work review anymore!
What does the municipal committee think? What do the people's representatives think? What do the cadres and people of Qingshan County think?
Your political reputation and future, Comrade Geng Dongqing, are now tied to this election!
These words were a very stern reminder and warning. Although the word "bribery" was not mentioned at all, the target of the criticism and the pressure were directed at Geng Dongqing. How could he not understand?
Geng Dongqing had to reiterate: "Director Guo, I understand the importance of this election, and I am well aware that the responsibility on my shoulders is heavier than Mount Tai."
Please rest assured, Municipal Party Committee and Supervisory Team, we will certainly fulfill our responsibilities and ensure that all agenda items of the conference, especially the election tasks, are completed smoothly and successfully in accordance with laws and regulations. We will never fail the trust and expectations placed upon us by the organization!
Guo Dong softened his tone: "Good, it's good to have your attitude. The supervisory team will stay in the county and supervise the entire process."
We hope the county party committee and the county people's congress will cooperate closely to ensure the work is carried out meticulously and effectively. Please feel free to communicate with us anytime if any issues arise.
