A professor's rebirth: I entered Tsinghua University in 1977.

Liu Hongyi never expected that his action at Tai Zhengyang's house at noon on the second day of the Lunar New Year would make Fang Zimu, the first secretary of the Ningzhou Municipal Party Committee, feel a strong sense of "crisis."

Liu Hongyi went to pay New Year's greetings to Fang Zimu on the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year.

On the afternoon and evening of the second day of the Lunar New Year, he visited the provincial governor Han Keying, the provincial military district commander Deng, and the commander of the 141st Army Lei respectively.

The 141st Army’s base was not originally in Zhennan, but in Jingjiang.

However, due to the war, the 141st Army has always had troops stationed in Zhennan Province. The 141st Army's front-line command post is also in Zhennan and has not yet been disbanded.

In order to ensure that the troops can respond to emergencies at any time, Commander Lei stayed at the 141st Army Front Command to celebrate the New Year.

Since the complete completion of the Aegis Line throughout Zhennan, the border situation has greatly improved. The Anlang people on the Zhennan border have become completely obedient. When the Aegis Line was first built, the Anlang people, due to insufficient intelligence, stubbornly organized many small-scale harassment operations.

The result is like throwing meat buns at dogs - there is no return.

After wasting a small battalion of elite veterans in vain, they finally calmed down.

The Excalibur Brigade still maintained its normal attack frequency. Relying on the support of radar, it would occasionally send small teams to harass the enemy. Disposable rocket launchers and 35mm, 40mm and 60mm rapid-fire rifles were used alternately. Each attack basically achieved some results.

The area within five kilometers of the Anlang people's border is almost undefended.

Basically all large-scale forward bases and larger outposts were eliminated one by one by the Divine Sword Brigade.

An Langren could only watch helplessly.

They no longer dare to organize large-scale counterattacks and confrontations, and can only form a large number of patrols to patrol the northern border area continuously, guarding against our elusive special forces.

The problem is that patrol teams are often not safe. If they are left alone, they may be eaten.

The battlefield is one-way transparent, and the individual weapons of the Divine Sword Brigade still have a great advantage. This battle really cannot be fought.

The entire border of Zhennan Province has basically become quiet.

The enemy's first-line defense positions have been compressed inward by five kilometers. How can they harass our border?

The reason why regular field forces such as the 141st Army still maintain a strong garrison in Zhennan Province is mainly to prevent the Anlang people from becoming desperate and launching a large-scale war.

Although the possibility of this is extremely low, we still have to be on guard.

The border situation is stable, and the entire Zhennan Province can finally relax and focus on production and economic development.

More than half of the two major tasks that the leader originally assigned to Tai Zhengyang have been completed.

After visiting the bigwigs in the province with whom he had contact, the next step was naturally to visit Fang Zimu, the first secretary of the municipal party committee.

Fang Zimu is not young anymore. According to information, he is 62 years old this year.

It also means "liberating cadres."

I suffered a lot in the past few years.

He was reinstated more than three years ago.

Fang Zimu attached great importance to Liu Hongyi's arrival, and it wasn't entirely out of respect for Tai Zhengyang. As Secretary of the Zhennan Provincial Party Committee Secretariat and First Secretary of the Ningzhou Municipal Party Committee, Fang Zimu's sources of information couldn't be as isolated as those grassroots cadres in Zhuang'an County.

In addition to Tai Zhengyang's unreserved support, Liu Hongyi himself is also extraordinary.

Putting aside his dazzling halos, his father Liu Chuan and his future father-in-law Ai Gaofeng were both extraordinary. It was only a matter of time before they reached the next level.

In addition, I heard that Liu Hongyi was also appreciated by many other super figures.

General Yu Donghai, commander of the Southern Military Region, was no less fond of him than Tai Zhengyang.

Not to mention those super bosses in Beidu.

Therefore, Fang Zimu arranged for his secretary to personally greet Liu Hongyi at the door, and "cleared out" all other visitors to make a whole block of time specifically for Liu Hongyi.

Liu Hongyi followed the etiquette of subordinates and juniors and bowed to Fang Zimu to wish him a happy new year.

Fang Zimu stood up enthusiastically, shook hands with him, invited him to sit down, and even offered him a cigarette.

"Hongyi, I heard you're going to give training to provincial officials?"

After chatting for a while, Fang Zimu couldn't wait to get straight to the point.

Liu Hongyi bowed and said yes, and explained his thoughts to Fang Zimu in detail, even his "little idea" of wanting to "intercept" provincial cadres.

This is the respect you should show to your boss.

Fang Zimu laughed. "Hahaha, you're indeed worthy of being the great scientist who built the SHIELD defense line. You're really good at this covert move... Well, Zhuang'an is indeed too remote and backward. There hasn't been much communication between cadres in recent years. Everyone is confined to a small circle, with little learning and communication, and a narrow horizon. It really is time for some fresh cadres to be injected."

Liu Hongyi nodded and looked at Fang Zimu intently, waiting for his "but".

With Liu Hongyi's many years of experience in officialdom, how could he not hear that Fang Zimu had a follow-up?

"But, Hongyi, we can't let the provincial cadres take all the benefits. We also have many young cadres available in our city."

Well, he is worthy of being the first secretary of the municipal party committee, and his speech level is very high.

They directly described Liu Hongyi's cadre training as a huge benefit.

Regardless of whether he really thought so in his heart, the fact that he said such words was a great affirmation of Liu Hongyi.

Liu Hongyi hurriedly bowed again and said respectfully, "Yes, Secretary Fang, I'm here today to ask for your help. Even if I wanted to intercept the provincial cadres, I wouldn't dare intercept too many. One or two, at most three or five would be the maximum. If I intercept too much, they will have opinions."

“It mainly depends on the city’s support.”

“It will also be more convenient for Zhuang’an cadres to communicate with municipal government agencies.”

In a large provincial-level unit, it is difficult to find so many cadres below the section level.

It's much better in the city.

After all, the subordinate departments of municipal units are still sections, not divisions.

Fang Zimu was immediately satisfied with Liu Hongyi's answer.

That's right.

Although you, Liu Hongyi, were directly appointed by the Provincial Party Committee, you are ultimately a municipal official in Ningzhou. Of course, you should consider the opinions of the Municipal Party Committee's main leaders when doing any work. How can you just go to the Provincial Party Committee's First Secretary for every matter?

You just arrived a while ago and are not familiar with Fang Zimu. I don't blame you for reporting directly to Tai Zhengyang.

If it continues like this in the future, it will be bad.

It seems that Liu Hongyi is still very sensible, which is good. Fang Zimu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

During this period, the first secretary had extremely great power.

The First Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee can really decide whether the First Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee stays or goes, even though Fang Zimu's main job is Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Secretariat. But if Tai Zhengyang really wants to reassign him, Fang Zimu won't have much to do.

Now that Liu Hongyi showed that he understood the rules of officialdom very well, Fang Zimu felt relieved.
