Chapter 342: All Radicals
At the meeting, Minister Kuang of the Ministry of Security first explained the incident.
These words were like a bombshell that exploded among the group of Central Committee members, including Qi Tongwei. He knew that the Central Committee had convened an emergency meeting and there must be something urgent, but he did not expect it to be such a big deal.
In his previous life, Qi Tongwei was merely a Public Security Bureau Chief. He was not qualified to participate in or know about this matter, nor did he know how it was handled in the end.
But he knew that it would be resolved satisfactorily in the end.
The leaders did not express their opinions first, but asked for everyone's opinions first.
If it were something else, Qi Tongwei might have let everyone speak first, but not this time.
It was already a pity that he failed to catch up with the Anti-Japanese War, so how could he let go of this opportunity?
If conditions allowed, he would have wanted to instigate a war with Xiao Rizi.
"I suggest that we send warships directly to intercept them on the high seas and demand that they return immediately. If they refuse to listen, we should sink them directly. We must never allow this batch of nuclear-contaminated scrap steel to enter the country." Qi Tongwei spoke first.
"Will this lead to war?" someone asked worriedly, one of the few conservatives.
"You think too highly of your life. No one would dare to do it even if you gave them three, including their master, the Chou Kingdom." A general said in a decisive tone. He seemed to be a radical.
After saying that, he nodded to Qi Tongwei. It seemed that Qi Tongwei's answer was very much to his liking.
"No matter what method is used, this batch of scrap steel contaminated by nuclear power must not enter our country, including our territorial waters," said the Minister of Environmental Protection.
Afterwards everyone spoke, Qi Tongwei realized that there were no conservatives in China, only radicals and conservative radicals. This made him feel that he seemed to be a little conservative and not radical enough.
After an intense discussion, the leaders finally made a decision.
The leader stood up and announced in a serious tone: "We have reached a consensus, and now I declare.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately notified the Japanese side, asking them to recall the freighter quickly.
If the Japanese side does not heed our advice, then our country will take action without hesitation and sink the ship immediately, and all consequences will be borne by the Japanese side. "
Then he added: "In addition, we will also inform the U.S. side to let them know our country's position and decision.
If any unpleasant situations or conflicts arise during this process, all responsibilities will be borne by the Japanese side.”
After that, he looked at the military representative and said, "The military must quickly dispatch warships to the high seas and be ready to fire at any time. At the same time, they must also be prepared for war. We will never allow the small days to transfer nuclear pollution to our people."
Upon hearing this, there was warm applause in the conference room, expressing everyone's support for this decision.
The heads of various departments nodded to show that they were aware of the situation and promised to take immediate action.
After the meeting, Qi Tongwei once again reported to the leaders and "Secretary Wang" on the progress of the investigation and handling of the illegal villas in Qin Province.
The two leaders spoke highly of Qi Tongwei's work performance and praised his conscientiousness, responsibility and efficient execution ability.
One of the leaders specifically mentioned that without Qi Tongwei's carefulness and decisiveness in sending the blood sample to the national security department for testing, it would have been impossible to expose the existence of the Xiao Ri Zi spy.
It was precisely because of the discovery of Xiao Ri's spy that the problem of nuclear contaminated scrap steel surfaced, and there was an opportunity to deal with it before the incident.
Once these contaminated nuclear scrap steel enter the domestic market, it will cause immeasurable losses to the country.
Therefore, the leaders silently noted the great contribution made by Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei even said he didn't dare to accept the praise from the leaders, saying that this was what he should do.
Qi Tongwei then continued to report on the follow-up investigation and handling suggestions for the illegal "villa" case.
During the reporting process, Qi Tongwei quietly affirmed Zhang Ruonian's contribution and recognized his active cooperative attitude.
At the same time, he also tactfully suggested to the two leaders whether the follow-up investigation task could be handed over to the Qin Provincial Party Committee for two reasons.
First, let them make up for their crimes with meritorious service, and second, the comrades in the working group have been working hard for many days in a row and should take a break.
The leader has been in the officialdom for a long time and has seen the vicissitudes of life. Naturally, his profound experience and sharp insight are incomparable to ordinary people. How could he not hear the subtext in Qi Tongwei's words?
It was obvious that Qi Tongwei wanted to take this opportunity to speak well of Zhang Ruonian.
The leader narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze was deep and sharp, as if he could see through everything. After a moment of silence, he slowly said: "Okay, this matter will be handed over to the Qin Provincial Party Committee for follow-up."
Then, he changed the subject and said, "Tell Zhang Ruonian that he must investigate this thoroughly. The central government has only one standard for corruption, and that is zero tolerance."
Qi Tongwei quickly agreed and felt relieved.
Although the leader did not explicitly say that Zhang Ruonian would be let off, his meaning was already very clear: he would not be touched for the time being and would be given a chance to correct his mistakes.
If he can seize this opportunity, he may have opportunities for promotion in the future.
Even if you can't get the promotion you want, at least you can keep your current position.
In fact, Qi Tongwei did not intend to discuss the matter directly with his superiors at first. It was only after some persuasion from his father-in-law that he made up his mind and decided to take the risk.
According to my father-in-law, he had just made a great contribution, and if he gave advice to the leader now, the leader would not blame him too much. Even if it failed, he had tried his best, and no one could blame him.
As it turned out, my father-in-law's judgment was correct.
The leader decided to give Zhang Ruonian a chance for his sake. Of course, this was also due to Zhang Ruonian's own efforts. His active cooperation with the task force did improve his impression.
The benefits of Qi Tongwei's doing this are obvious. It sends a signal to the outside world that this is a friend worth making friends with, and he will really help when there are difficulties, instead of just talking about it.
At least Zhang Ruonian himself definitely stood on Qi Tongwei's side.
Doing so will not only help improve his personal connections in official circles, but will also be beneficial to his future career development.
After the report, Qi Tongwei went straight home. As soon as he entered the house, he called Zhang Ruonian and told him the good news.
"Tongwei, are you telling the truth?" Zhang Ruonian could hardly believe it.
"Of course it's true. How could I lie to you about something like this?" Qi Tongwei said unhappily.
"Thank you, thank you, Tongwei, I..."
Qi Tongwei interrupted Zhang Ruonian's excited speech and said, "I have fought for the opportunity for you, but you must also seize it.
The leader’s meaning is very clear. We should not only focus on economic development, but also fight against corruption.
I suggest that you conduct a thorough investigation of leading cadres at all levels in Qin Province and remove those who are just sitting there doing nothing and are corrupt and incompetent from the cadre ranks.
Only in this way can you regain the trust of your leaders and have the opportunity to continue to be promoted. "
Zhang Ruonian said worriedly, "I know this even if you don't tell me, but I'm afraid that taking down so many leaders at once will affect economic development."
"Don't worry. There may be a shortage of other things in our country, but there is definitely no shortage of officials. What's more, you can also clean up the cadre team in a boiling frog style." Qi Tongwei said with a smile.
Afterwards, the two exchanged views on anti-corruption for a while before ending the call.
