Chapter 656 Who gave you the courage (Second update, please subscribe)
I don’t know how many people have always been eyeing the police headquarters.
The center of this public controversy is the police headquarters.
The police headquarters is located on the other side of the city. It is a square six-story building, huge and featureless.
Police cars roared in and out of the gate from time to time. Occasionally, Zhang Xueze would stand by the window and watch the cars driving in and out.
What is this police headquarters?
It’s not just the police headquarters, it’s the anchor of Mindanao’s 500,000 Tang people.
“25,500 police officers!”
Standing by the window, Zhang Xueze said.
"What do we Tang people rely on to gain a foothold in Mindanao? It's not just the Autonomous Council, but us. It relies on the guns in our hands. Without 20,000 mobile troops, Those people had eaten us alive a long time ago. If it hadn't been for the post-war liquidation, how could we have made 90% of the land on the island ours? Without us, even the land and property would have been lost. How can we keep it if it is given to us? It is precisely because of our existence that we can keep it.”
When mentioning old things, Zhang Xueze smiled coldly,
“Why were those guys able to be liquidated back then? It was because of the guns in the hands of the security forces. Why does Manila recognize Mindanao’s autonomy now because it is also in our hands? "
In fact, guns are only one aspect. The most fundamental reason is that after landing in Mindanao, Li Yian used some means to ensure that the Tang people could control Mindanao in the name of autonomy. One of the most important factors , that is, a series of self-government laws have been formulated. Those laws were approved by the US military and civil affairs departments. One of the most core provisions is that elections are all linked to personal assets. Not only must they have fixed assets such as real estate and land, but they must also pay taxes. How much land tax. In short, these are some of the most common methods in this era.
Through the post-war liquidation, under the control of Li Yian, the Tang people had already occupied most of the land on the island in the form of compensation. Through various subtle designs, half a million Tang people, accounting for less than one-third of the population, controlled 95% of the seats in the local council, thus ensuring that local power was always under the control of the Tang people.
When the Philippines became independent, the Manila authorities also had to recognize the autonomy of Mindanao. After all, this institution was recognized by the Americans.
Turning around, Zhang Xueze said.
"The weapons and coercive power in the hands of the police are the basis for us to be able to defeat more with less. Please tell Commissioner Xu that any attack on the police is unacceptable and will not be allowed."
Nodding vigorously, Zhang Xueze said.
"Yes, tell him, this is what I said!"
After the cold words, Zhang Xueze looked directly at his secretary and said.
"Tell him personally that if he wants to ask for someone, let him come to the police headquarters and ask for it in person. In the afternoon, I will personally award Captain Li a medal to commend him for his outstanding performance in policing."
"I will tell him personally."
Ke Minghui nodded and said.
"Commander, is there anything else I need to tell him?"
"Well..."
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Huize said.
“Tell the Koronadal Local Government Association that due to tight police spending, the police headquarters is considering withdrawing some mobile police officers to reduce expenditures.”
The chief’s words made Ke Minghui smile. .
"Chief, if this happens, the people in Koronadal will probably want to eat Commissioner Xu alive. He will definitely be eliminated in the next election."
Zhang Huize nodded and said.
"Kill the chicken to show the monkey. If someone wants to touch us, we must fight back decisively. We must tell them that it is okay to fight for power, but whoever dares to interfere with the police will definitely have to pay the price!"
After thinking about it, Zhang Huize said.
"By the way, let's make arrangements. Before I award the medal, I'll meet Cunyi first."
Soon, Li Cunyi, wearing a police uniform, came to the chief's office and looked at Zhang Huize smiled kindly as he followed his old subordinate when he was a guerrilla.
“Cunyi, we haven’t seen each other for a while!”
"Commander, I'm causing you trouble!"
Before Li Cunyi finished speaking, Zhang Huize waved his hand and said.
"I'm just a native. If I die, I'll die. It's no big deal! When they killed us in the past, did anyone come forward to explain? His surname is Xu. He wants to make a fuss about this matter. He's dreaming!"
Li Cunyi was grateful for the commander-in-chief's flag. He never thought that the guy couldn't help pressing it, but he just pressed it for a while, and in the end... he ran out of energy.
What is even more surprising is that this matter actually made it into the newspapers - the newspapers in Manila, and then caused some turmoil there. Then in the local assembly, the judicial committee member demanded a thorough investigation and even asked the local government to conduct a thorough investigation. The prosecutor prosecuted him.
Now the president's words finally made him feel relieved. Pointing to the sofa, Zhang Huize said.
"Sit down and talk, we are all old brothers, no need to be so formal."
"Thank you, Chief."
"I said, Don’t be so restrained, it’s just that some people want to take the opportunity to cause trouble. They are not targeting you, but me!”
"Commander, who has such courage!"
"It's not about courage, it's about interests!"
Now Zhang Huize is no longer the same person who fought in the rainforest for several years The guerrilla leader is a guerrilla leader. Since he is the chief of the police department, he is also a politician.
He knew very well that there was definitely nothing behind this matter. The so-called laws and the like were all told to others. Who here cared about those natives?
The man named Xu just wanted to put his hand into the police department. If he didn't cut off this claw, he didn't know what trouble it would cause in the future.
"There are always people who want to put their hands into the police department. Your Excellency said back then that the police are the guns in the hands of us Tang people. We can never throw them away at any time, let alone let people with bad intentions get in!"
In In the past few years, Zhang Huize had seen the faces of those people fighting for power, and of course he also knew the reason why they targeted the police department this time.
That’s why he reacted so violently, just to tell everyone where his bottom line is.
They can do some things if they want to, but if they want to reach into the police department and destroy their roots, then those people are thinking wrong.
“Next month, when I go to Chang’an for inspection, Cunyi, you will accompany me there.”
He also told the outside world about his actions. If necessary, he would even take Li Cunyi to see the chief of police in Nanyang.
"Sir, is it appropriate for me to go?"
Zhang Huize said without waiting for Li Cunyi to refuse.
“No one is more suitable than you. At this time, it is more important to tell everyone that our police department is a family. It is our duty to take care of each other and protect each other. Of course, it is also our duty to tell everyone. Brothers, the police department will never abandon its brothers Pao Ze!"
After that, Zhang Huize looked at his old subordinates and said.
"Okay, let's go down and get ready. I will personally award you the honor this afternoon!"
Sometimes, the response is as simple as that.
That day, in the office of the Judicial Commissioner, Xu Xiangpeng looked coldly at the secretary-general in front of him and said.
"So, Chief Zhang is determined to have his own way and must protect the murderer!"
Like all judicial committee members, Xu Xiangpeng is also eager to control the police department. As long as he controls the police department , basically equivalent to controlling Mindanao!
That's why he took this opportunity to post, but he didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so intense.
“I was surprised by what Commissioner Xu said. In the process of law enforcement, some accidents will inevitably happen. Since Commissioner Xu is a member of the Judiciary, he must know what accidents are. Besides, he is just a native.”
After a light word, Ke Minghui said.
"By the way, due to funding issues, the police department is considering withdrawing the mobile police unit from Koronadal!"
It seemed like a casual statement, but Xu Xiangpeng said in shock.
"He dares, he, what does his surname Zhang want to do?"
What does he want to do?
Xu Xiangpeng didn't need to think twice to know what Zhang wanted to do, because his constituency was there. If the police department wants to withdraw the mobile police, it is undoubtedly telling everyone that the police department is very dissatisfied with him.
"Commissioner, the question is not what the president wants to do, but what you want to do."
Ke Minghui said straightforwardly.
"No one has targeted the police department in these years. You are the first one. On the way here, I really admired your courage. I have been thinking about who gave you such courage."
Wrinkled. A frown. Ke Minghui asked curiously.
"Is it Manila? What kind of benefits did they give you?"
