Peak of Power: Red Bureaucracy 2

Special-grade fighter pilot Feng Yuxing encountered an accident during a mission to drive away enemies, forcing this 'aerial warrior' to transfer to local government work.

During a touri...

Chapter 92: A fierce battle in the Standing Committee

There is no limit on the number of times one can speak. Except for Feng Yuxing and County Party Secretary Zhang Qingluo, everyone else has spoken once.

In addition to presiding over the Standing Committee, the secretary also makes a summary speech.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Feng and Xing. Throughout their speeches, Feng and Xing remained calm, neither happy nor angry. Everyone was eagerly anticipating what Feng and Xing would say.

Feng Yuxing looked at everyone and said, "Does anyone have anything to add?"

At this time, the conference room was quiet.

Feng Yuxing saw that no one had anything to add, so he said:

"Thank you all for the discussion. There are both supporters and opponents, and some are quite strong. As you all know, I was once an 'air warrior' and recently retired. I am not familiar with the twists and turns of the local area. I can't learn, and I don't want to learn. I feel very tired.

I don't blame you for opposing me. After all, I'm not a currency. It's impossible for me to please everyone with my words and actions. I'm telling you responsibly here that I will definitely arrest Gong Yibing.

Gong Yibing directed others to obstruct the Finance Bureau personnel from conducting an inspection of the Jiaoyou Middle School teaching building. Based on this incident alone, he was on the verge of committing a crime.

If there are serious quality problems with the teaching building, posing a safety hazard to the teachers and students of Jiaoyou Middle School, who will bear this responsibility? You, me, the secretary? Who can bear this responsibility?

Are we going to wait until a safety accident occurs in this teaching building before discussing who is responsible? This is an irresponsible act towards the lives of ordinary people and a destructive act towards the Party's cause. I cannot tolerate this."

Feng Yuxing continued speaking, his tone becoming increasingly sharp.

"Let's talk about the topic we are discussing now. The County Prosecutor's Office Chief Prosecutor Ju Weisheng, the police chief showed him the evidence they had investigated, but still refused to issue an arrest warrant on the grounds of insufficient evidence.

"The ice is three feet thick, it didn't freeze overnight. With a prosecutor like this, there will be people like Gong Yibing who do illegal things under the guise of legality."

"The Procuratorate is a dual-management unit. Didn't I ask the secretary to convene a standing committee meeting to discuss this? You see, I'm also acting in accordance with national laws and party regulations!"

At this time, Feng Yuxing's expression was not only no longer cold, but also became harmless. However, he began to call out the names one by one.

"Comrade Yu Yu, this Ju Chief Prosecutor ignored the evidence presented to him by the police and refused to issue an arrest warrant. May I ask, what party principles, what rules and regulations did he follow? What principles did he uphold? On the contrary, he openly supported, or condoned, the existence of lawbreakers, ignoring national laws and party regulations!"

“I said on the day I took office that the welfare of the people is the end of my universe. If there is anyone who dares to act recklessly, harm the interests of the people, and prevent government orders from being implemented, I will be the end of his universe.

If this were a government-run unit, I can tell you bluntly that I would have fired him directly, and there would be no need to waste so much of your time."

Everyone was starting to think it was interesting; this play was quite unique! Meanwhile, Deputy Secretary Yu Yu's face suddenly darkened.

"Comrade Shangao, you say this will affect the business environment? Let me ask you, our Jiaoyou County has been upgraded from a poverty-stricken county to an extremely poor county over the years. Where is your good living environment? You don't feel ashamed, but I felt ashamed when I first arrived..."

At this time, the executive deputy county magistrate Ling Shangao had a complicated expression, gloomy and embarrassed; while those who had nothing to do with the matter were amused, "This young man is so powerful! He is calling out names one by one! The next one should be the Propaganda Minister Miao Fangjuan's turn!"

Sure enough, Feng and Xing did not disappoint them! Here they come!

"Comrade Fang Juan, regarding this matter, why haven't you seen any action from your Propaganda Department? Also, there's something else I'd like to know about, and it also happened three years ago!

My secretary, Zhu Lipo, was the editor-in-chief of the county TV station three years ago! Someone fabricated a misleading piece of news and forced him to broadcast it, but he firmly refused. Then, he was relegated to a simple clerk position in the county government's secretariat.

This matter has nothing to do with Minister Miao! May I ask, Comrade Yu Yu, why haven't you spoken up for such a comrade who upholds justice and principles?

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. In a meeting like the Standing Committee, there were no restrictions on speaking, and everyone was free to speak freely, but Feng Yuxing's remarks were truly unusual.

He did not choose to have a secret conversation in private, but stood in front of everyone and bluntly questioned the officials who opposed him. There was nothing wrong with that, but speaking with the intention of holding them accountable was rare in officialdom.

His words were sharp and firm, going straight to the heart of the matter and shocking everyone present.

At this moment, Propaganda Minister Miao Fangjuan secretly groaned inwardly, her face showing an extremely embarrassed look. After all, that old incident was indeed inextricably linked to her.

Although she was not the mastermind, explaining the whole story was by no means easy. Because the people and events involved were so complicated, with her current status and ability, she could not afford to cause such trouble.

Zhang Qingluo, the county party secretary, looked at everyone, lowered his voice, and whispered to Feng Yuxing beside him: "County magistrate, you will have no friends if you talk like this!"

After hearing Feng Yuxing's speech, Zhang Qingluo was a little worried. If this continued, a county-level standing committee would reach a new height, so he had to push the pace forward.

"Everyone, everyone has expressed their opinions. Now, let's vote!" Zhang Qingluo looked at everyone, "If you disagree with Comrade Feng Yuxing's proposal to remove Ju Weisheng from his position as the Chief Prosecutor of the Procuratorate, please raise your hands!"

Zhang Qingluo did not start by agreeing, but by opposing the proposal, so as to give others some room to consider.

The people who raised their hands were first Deputy Secretary Yu Yu, then Executive Deputy County Mayor Ling Shangao, in the same order as before. Then came Minister of Propaganda Miao Fangjuan, Minister of the People's Armed Forces Ding Rongding, and Minister of the United Front Work Hu Tian.

Minister of the People's Armed Forces Ding Rongding and Minister of the United Front Work Hu Tian's speeches were generally harmonious, but unexpectedly, in the end, they both voted against the resolution, which surprised everyone.

There were five votes against, and there were twelve standing committee members attending the meeting. Among the remaining seven, it seemed that Feng Yuxing had the upper hand, but that was a big mistake, because the risks brought by the abstention votes had to be considered; generally, the number of standing committee members was odd, but the number of standing committee members of the Jiaoyou County Party Committee was even.
