Since March 1993, Song Qingwei, political commissar of the Jinan Military Region, was in the most uncalm mood. Because some people were involved in smuggling, his superiors repeatedly criticized the leaders of the military region, which made him feel very guilty and uneasy. At the cadre meeting, he said that if we do not take strict measures, if we continue like this, we will really have to report our resignation.
What's going on?
In the spring of 1993, an unhealthy wind of smuggling blew in the coastal areas of Jiaodong, which had some negative impact on the building of the troops and the production and operation of the troops.
When thinking of smuggling, ordinary people will think of private enterprises, and they will not think of how much they have to do with the army. Those who know the history of the development of the armed forces know that in the 80s and 90s, in consideration of the national economic construction and the modernization of the armed forces, in order to lighten the burden on national defense, the armed forces began to do business. This has also caused many large units to set up some companies to do domestic trade, foreign trade or other industries.
Enterprises affiliated with the army are involved in local car smuggling activities, and the higher authorities have instructed the military to absolutely not carry out such activities. Liu Huaqing instructed: Smuggling activities should be investigated to the end and dealt with sternly. In view of this, Song Qingwei and other leading bodies of the military region realized that whether or not they could stop this unhealthy trend was not only an economic issue, but also a serious political issue. No matter how difficult it is, we must resolutely stop it.
The military region held an emergency meeting and clearly pointed out that smuggling is a crime and that all production and business units must operate in accordance with the law. At the same time, it was publicized that 26 March was the boundary, and that as long as the previous incidents did not constitute a case, the military region would bear the responsibility, and it would be seriously dealt with in the future, and provisional regulations would be issued.
Even in the case of repeated orders from the military region, in April and May, the troops defending the island had to dispatch landing craft to transport cars to Huludao. The commander and political commissar of the military region once again instructed that all units in the region should not be allowed to participate, that they should not intercede for smuggling, that they should provide convenient conditions, and that they should not store smuggled vehicles and goods for the localities. If it happens, the leaders at the first and second levels will be held accountable.
The superiors also conveyed instructions to the locality, so that Song Qingwei stayed awake all night, he had been a soldier for decades, and it was the first time he encountered this smuggling trend, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult to solve. Because under the conditions of a market economy, economic interests are too tempting for some people. As secretary of the party committee of the military region, Song Qingwei has been thinking that this problem cannot be indecisive, that it is okay if it cannot be dealt with, and that there is no way to come up with a solution, even if the difficulties are great, they must rise to the occasion and resolutely put a brake on it.
At a meeting of organ cadres in July, he said that he had served as political commissar of the military region for more than eight years, and that he had recently been in a very uneasy mood; his superiors had criticized us many times, and the military region had repeatedly stressed that he had also taken some severe measures. If this continues, I really have to make a resignation report.
After the meeting, he talked to the leaders of the provincial military district and the responsible person of a certain garrison area, focusing on criticizing the serious problems in the garrison area, which must be taken responsible, and proposing to resolutely put a stop, resolutely investigate and find out, and resolutely and resolutely deal with it.
After four months of iron-fisted governance, this unhealthy trend was finally curbed and the smooth implementation of the military region's military region's military orders and military orders was ensured.
In fact, there were also cases in the eighties, such as the economic difficulties in some coastal areas. Allowing local governments and state-owned enterprises to make money through resale has helped the poor and backward economy to get off to a start, and local military districts and some naval units have participated. Because the law has not yet perfected this area, although it violates the regulations, it has not been illegal, and it has finally been dealt with in a timely manner.
