In name only, I, Gao Yuliang, will sink Handong at worst.

Gao Yuliang took Wu Huifen to meet Wu Xinyi, Lu Kang, and Lu Yike over the weekend.

We borrowed some people from Lu Kang, and the investigation team can go directly into the military camp. Regardless of whether they will cause a fire like burning celery, this is something that can be avoided directly.

Furthermore, for the safety of the investigation team, they plan to transfer a group of experienced officers from the police department. These officers have been granted handguns, and having handguns will be enough to solve most of the problems.

On Monday, Gao Yuliang took the initiative to convene a Standing Committee meeting. Everyone here can convene a Standing Committee meeting; it's just a matter of agreeing in advance.

Zhao Lichun's appointment hasn't been finalized yet, but it's coming soon. The timing is perfect. According to Gao Yuliang's estimate, Zhao Lichun's appointment will be finalized shortly after the Standing Committee meeting.

The Standing Committee here consists of 12 members: Liu Changsheng, Governor and Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee; Gao Yuliang, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee; Ma Guangming, Executive Vice Governor; Wang Zheng, Executive Vice Governor and Secretary-General of the Provincial Government; Tian Guofu, Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission; Qian Qingfeng, Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee; Wu Chunlin, Minister of the Organization Department; Luo Mei, Minister of the Publicity Department; Li Dakang, Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee; Wang Guangming, Secretary of the Lüzhou Municipal Party Committee; Chang Li, Minister of the United Front Work Department; and Lu Kang, Commander of the Handong Military Region.

Jingzhou and Lüzhou are the two best-developed cities in the entire Handong region, which is why they were able to be included in the Standing Committee. Most people in the rest of Handong want to develop their local economy and then be transferred away from there.

The top spot is now empty.

All eyes turned to Gao Yuliang. This Standing Committee meeting was convened by Gao Yuliang on his own initiative, naturally because Gao Yuliang spoke first.

As is customary, Gao Yuliang explained and led everyone in studying the spirit of the document.

"The reform and opening up can be described as a mighty and sweeping process, and everyone is caught in the torrent. During this period, many people have stood at the forefront of the tide through their own efforts or luck. At the forefront, there is boundless glory, endless temptation, and also endless risk; it all depends on how you manage it. Looking at the past is far clearer than looking at the future; excitement and confusion are intertwined in everyone's heart."

"The most important thing we need to do is to adhere to the bottom line and be clear about what we should and should not do."

Upon hearing Gao Yuliang's remarks, Li Dakang couldn't help but inwardly criticize him.

That professor truly lives up to his reputation! His speeches are always like that.

"In response to the central government's concept of governing the country according to law and its policy of strictly governing the country and the Party, the Political and Legal Affairs Commission plans to launch a campaign to crack down on organized crime. We will select a group of cadres from the public security, procuratorate, courts and discipline inspection commissions who are capable of winning battles and dare to take action against organized crime, and set up 10 inspection teams. I will serve as the team leader, and Li Huai from the Political and Legal Affairs Commission's Inspection Office will serve as the deputy team leader. We will conduct inspections at all levels and cities in the province for a period of six months."

After hearing Gao Yuliang's words, everyone looked at him, wondering what he was doing. The crackdown on organized crime and gangs had begun shortly after Secretary Zhao Lichun left.

Is it really a crackdown on organized crime or just the elimination of dissidents?

Patrol, inspection, I can't tell the difference, I really can't tell the difference.

"What do you all think?" Gao Yuliang asked, looking at the Standing Committee members present, wanting to know their opinions.

This work originally fell under the purview of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

"The provincial government supports this. We have now moved away from the extensive development path of the past. The current development places higher demands on us. What we need to do is to improve the business environment so that we can develop better!" Liu Changsheng said calmly, holding a thermos cup in both hands.

Governor Liu, who rarely attends meetings, has come to the meeting now. It's rare for him to come now, and he even expressed his support for Gao Yuliang's work in the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

They had no objections whatsoever!

With the second and third provincial officials speaking up, what objections did the subordinates have?

After Gao Yuliang received a unanimous vote, he then began working on the second proposal.

Gao Yuliang instructed his secretary, Chen Yu, who was taking notes, to distribute the prepared materials to the Standing Committee members present.

"The second proposal is also related to the fight against organized crime, mainly focusing on illegal law enforcement by grassroots personnel, including but not limited to illegal interrogation, entrapment, heavy punishment for minor offenses, judicial injustice, and cracking down on six types of bullies: village bullies, township bullies, vegetable bullies, sand bullies, mining bullies, and city bullies."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that this kind of crime is concentrated in a very small area and affects very few people. These are precisely the kinds of things that ordinary people encounter in their daily lives. If the guidelines and policies from above are good, but they can't be implemented down to the last mile, then we're just doing useless work."

"We, as the provincial party committee, cannot ignore violations of rules and regulations in the last mile; on the contrary, we must impose even stricter requirements and enforcement."

Everyone reviewed Gao Yuliang's plan, which contained a comprehensive set of plans and measures. Whether it was publicity through the internet and television, the local political and legal committee taking sole responsibility, or the execution by the public security, procuratorate, and courts, there was nothing wrong with it.

In addition, we must crack down on those little protectors. Many village bullies may rely on a little bit of connections, such as knowing certain police officers or leaders, to act arrogantly and domineeringly in the local area, as well as embezzling assets.

Much of the content here involves the public security, procuratorate, and court systems, and is part of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission's tasks. It involves people from the public security, procuratorate, and court systems, and falls under the work of Gao Yuliang's Political and Legal Affairs Commission itself, so they can't interfere in anything.

"I fully support this rectification campaign; it can restore order and justice to Handong. The Discipline Inspection Commission will assign its most elite personnel to assist the Political and Legal Affairs Commission," Tian Guofu assured directly.

This was unexpected for Gao Yuliang, because Tian Guofu's disciplinary committee had only handled a few cases at the division level in all that time, and none at the department level.

There are more than a thousand provincial-level officials and more than fifty vice-ministerial level officials in the province. Gao Yuliang knew that there must be quite a few with problems, but the other party had not dealt with them much.

Later, he even accompanied Sha Ruijin on a boat trip on the lake, spending so much time with him on his inspection tour. Did the Discipline Inspection Commission have nothing to do? But since the other party is cooperating with him so much now, he might as well go with the flow.

Moreover, this old fellow is far more cunning than many others. Sha Ruijin intended to eliminate one of Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei, but Tian Guofu happens to be eyeing his position.

They're being so proactive now. The main reason is to avoid the disciplinary committee failing in their duties if something is actually discovered later. But since they've cooperated, we should still give them face for now.

Luo Mei quickly added, "The propaganda department will fully cooperate with the Political and Legal Affairs Commission's propaganda efforts."

The other standing committee members had no objection to this, as it was not part of their job duties anyway, and Gao Yuliang's meeting here was more like an announcement to these people.
