Chapter 631 - 612:
Before long, news from the Central came out, Elder Pang, due to frail health, had to retire behind the scenes. The political commissar of the Nanjing Military District, who now also took on the role of Commander, in addition to that, his tasks in the Central Standing Committee were also handed over to others. This news immediately made many people sense an unease in the air.
Leaders from various places all felt threatened, and Zhang Kaiguo also realized immediately that he was in trouble, because at the Central, likely only he, Elder Pang, and Vice Chairman Chen had been particularly close. Therefore, he immediately worried that this would affect his political future. Zhang Kaiguo quickly convened a Provincial Committee standing committee meeting, and at the meeting, he presented the documents issued by the Central calling for a severe crackdown.
"This isn’t just a call for a severe crackdown; it’s obviously an attempt to disperse Elder Pang’s influence!"
"That’s right, I think so too!"
At the standing committee meeting, all the leaders expressed their opinions, and the final conclusion was that in order to save their political careers, they must strictly follow the orders from above. As a result, a vigorous crackdown campaign, named ’228’, officially started.
That very evening, three trucks loaded with over a hundred Armed Police Soldiers, each holding a Type 56, jumped down from the trucks. Then, over a hundred Armed Police Soldiers immediately surrounded the Black Water Security Company and several of the Heavenly Reversal Gang’s entertainment venues and bars.
"Don’t move, put your hands up!" The Armed Police Soldiers broke in.
Inside, the air was hazy with smoke. The little brothers of the Heavenly Reversal Gang were all gathered, looking puzzled at the entrance where the Armed Police force stood, curiously asking, "What are you... what are you doing? A drill?"
"Put your hands up!" The leading Armed Police Soldier sent a kick flying.
Clang...
The little brother was immediately kicked to the ground, and the others became enraged, each grabbing axes and charging forward. However, this was a crackdown, definitely not some so-called drill, and even less like the usual frivolity. As these little brothers charged forward with fire axes, the Armed Police Soldiers in front did not hesitate to pull the trigger on their machine guns.
Da da da...
