South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 297 Meeting Discussion

Zhou Zhennan was originally quite confused as to why his son-in-law did not work properly but instead prepared a report. However, he soon became immersed in the report.

This report mentioned a lot of professional knowledge that he had never been exposed to before, and many of the insights in it surprised him, so he read it more and more carefully, and became more and more fascinated.

It was not until nearly two hours later that Zhou Zhennan put down the report in his hand, took off his glasses and gently rubbed his temples. He had not paid attention to the time just now. At his age, he was indeed a little tired after reading a report for nearly two hours in one breath.

"Dad! Have a cup of tea." At this time, Yuan Mu came over with a cup of tea.

"Oh, okay!" Zhou Zhennan looked up and said with a smile, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Xiao Mu, when did you write this report?"

"In fact, this report was prepared when I was in school. I had this idea at that time, but I felt that it was not the right time. However, you are also aware of the current social situation. Although the army has cracked down severely, there are still many criminals who are desperate and hold the people hostage."

"I have seen several cases of hostage deaths recently. Of course, I am not saying that our army is incompetent, but I feel that they lack some special skills. They have not been specially trained for rescuing hostages."

"This is also true for our police force and armed police force. They have no problem dealing with external forces or arresting violent criminals, but they are still lacking in rescuing hostages."

"The army is for external affairs, while the armed police is for internal affairs, protecting national security. Moreover, the armed police are not under the public security. If the local police want to mobilize the armed police to cooperate in operations, they still need to go through some procedures. If an emergency occurs, it is very likely that it will be too late."

"So I came up with this special police force. It is affiliated with the public security system, not active military personnel. It is recruited from veterans and special talents in society, and is professionally trained and equipped with professional police equipment. I believe they can provide greater convenience for social security and provide greater protection for the lives and property of the people!"

After listening to Yuan Mu's words, Zhou Zhennan nodded slowly. He still agreed with Yuan Mu's point of view. Moreover, he had read the report and to be honest, it was very well written and feasible.

"Have you shown this report to your leader?"

"Not yet. I was just thinking of asking you for help to correct it." Yuan Mu smiled and shook his head.

"Why should I correct you? I have never heard of some of the viewpoints and professional knowledge mentioned in your report. How did you know these?" Zhou Zhennan said with a wry smile and shook his head.

"In fact, I have read a lot of foreign books on the military field. Some of the views they expound are worth learning from. Although I don't think highly of them, I have to say that they do have something worth learning from."

"In addition to these, I also consulted a lot of information. After my own continuous research and experiments, I think it is worth a try."

"How about this, you take this report to Old Liu first and see what he says." Zhou Zhennan thought for a moment and then spoke.

Zhou Zhennan had his own ideas. When Yuan Mu wanted to train a special police force, he did not support it. After all, Yuan Mu had no experience in this area. He had never been a soldier, only a policeman, and lacked experience in this area.

In fact, he didn't really believe that Yuan Mu could form such a team. When it came to solving cases, Yuan Mu might have no problem, but building a new team involved another area.

However, after reading the contents of the report, he did feel that it was feasible, but he was afraid that Yuan Mu was just talking big and would fail when the time came to put it into practice.

But then again, Yuan Mu is his son-in-law after all. If he wants to make progress, he has to help him anyway. At worst, he can do it on a small scale first, and give it a try. There is nothing to lose.

After listening to Zhou Zhennan's words, Yuan Mu nodded in agreement. In the evening, Yuan Mu took the report to Liu Yaoguo's home again and talked with Liu Yaoguo in the study for more than an hour.

Liu Yaoguo agreed with Yuan Mu's idea very much. Yuan Mu was right. The armed police were good, but they did not belong to the public security system after all. It required a lot of procedures to transfer them. But it was different for the special police. The special police were affiliated with the public security system and could be directly transferred by the public security department.

He is not sure whether Yuan Mu can serve as a good instructor for this unit, but he still supports him in his heart. However, he did not agree to Yuan Mu directly. He just said that they would hold an internal meeting when the time comes and everyone should discuss it first.

Liu Yaoguo acted very quickly. The next day, he presented Yuan Mu's plan at the Ministry of Public Security's regular meeting.

A single stone can cause a thousand ripples. Everyone read the report, but their reactions were mixed. Some people said that Yuan Mu was just dreaming and that it was simply impossible. The key point was that Yuan Mu was not qualified.

But there were also people who supported Yuan Mu. They just hoped that the public security department could have this force. So at the meeting, everyone started arguing, with those who supported and those who opposed arguing with each other.

This gave Qian Mingjun, the then Minister of Public Security, a headache, and he slammed the table hard to stop everyone from arguing.

"Stop arguing. I think we should call Comrade Yuan Mu over and let him tell us his thoughts. After all, he wrote the report. What do you think?" Qian Mingjun said while looking at everyone.

"I agree!" Liu Yaoguo expressed his opinion directly.

"I agree!"

"I agree too!" The rest of the people nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Yuan Mu, with a confused look on his face, was called to the conference room. Looking at the leaders below, he swallowed his saliva. He was sitting in the office writing a training plan when he was called here. He didn't know what was going on.

"Comrade Yuan Mu, don't be nervous. This report was written by you, right?" Qian Mingjun said to Yuan Mu with a smile.

"Minister, I wrote it." Yuan Mu nodded.

"Well, then tell us your thoughts and opinions. We all want to hear your opinions."

So that was what it was. He was wondering what else to do. After he heaving a sigh of relief, he first saluted all the leaders, and then he stood in front and began to talk about it.

Yuan Mu told him all his thoughts, from some of the serious consequences he had seen from this crackdown, to the various emergencies he would face in the future, to the coordination between the armed police force and the public security force, to the training methods of the special police force, etc.

Some leaders didn't take it seriously at first, but after listening to Yuan Mu's story, they all felt that this matter seemed to be something that could indeed be done.
