The next morning, in Longcheng Administrative Office.
Several police cars stopped in front of the door, and Wang Daolin, wearing a police uniform, walked down.
As soon as I got off the car, I saw the director of the Coast Guard Bureau there, and I quickly greeted him: "Lao Liu, you just arrived too?"
"Yeah." Director Liu looked worried. "The leader asked everyone to report on their work early in the morning, but I don't know how to start... How is the situation over there?"
Wang Daolin also shook his head: "Everyone is having a hard time right now... Let's go, we'll talk about it during the meeting."
The two looked at each other, went upstairs together, and came to the conference room upstairs.
At this time, there were already quite a few people sitting in the room. In addition to them, there were also some leaders from judicial-related departments.
Everyone greeted each other briefly, and their faces didn't look very good.
A few minutes later, the office door was pushed open and Li Mingsheng walked in with Li Yuan.
“Hello, leader!”
Everyone stood up and greeted Li Mingsheng.
"Sit down."
Li Mingsheng had a blank expression on his face. After he sat down, he waved his hand gently, and everyone took their seats.
Li Mingsheng's eyes swept across everyone's face, and finally landed on Wang Daolin: "Let's start from the police station."
"good."
Wang Daolin stood up and took out the organized report file from his bag, and said at the same time: "The situation is like this. From last night to now, a large number of protesters in Longcheng have gathered on the streets and carried out group activities, which has a bad impact. In some areas, there have even been conflicts with our police officers. Although it is not serious, I am afraid that as the situation develops, more and more people will participate and the conflict will escalate further. In particular, some small businesses are very emotional, and the current tense situation directly affects their vital interests. Our police department is making corresponding adjustments and making preventive preparations."
As he spoke, Wang Daolin looked at Li Mingsheng's expression. The other party was as calm as water and did not make any statement.
After a pause, Wang Daolin continued, "According to my statistics over the past two days, there are about 40,000 to 50,000 people in the city who have participated in these protests!"
When people in the conference hall heard this number, they were a little surprised. They didn't expect that the number would grow to so many in just two days.
After hearing this, Li Mingsheng finally asked, "Is there anyone secretly fanning the flames behind these activities?"
Wang Daolin nodded. "Of course there are, but there are too many people at the moment, and it's hard to tell them apart. We're still investigating this matter, and we'll take action as soon as possible. However, based on the clues I've collected so far, the group causing trouble is mainly workers."
Li Mingsheng asked expressionlessly, "Anything else?"
"Also, there are young scholars." Wang Daolin added: "Yesterday and today, many people chose to strike, and some even took to the streets to participate in group activities. They were very emotional. We are currently communicating with the education department and hope they can help us deal with it together."
"I have collected some relevant information in this regard." Li Yuan sat next to them, took out a document and placed it on the table. He continued Wang Daolin's words and said, "This group of people is seriously influenced by the ideology of District One. They are very annoyed by the military friction between us and District One, and there are also many radicals who fan the flames and guide public opinion."
“Yes!” Wang Daolin felt that the heater in the room seemed a little hot, and couldn’t help wiping the sweat from his forehead: “This morning, they organized a group of people to protest in front of the administrative office, but we persuaded them to disperse.”
Li Mingsheng sat there, listening to everyone's reports with a frown on his face, feeling that the current situation in the city was very serious.
Just as everyone was having a meeting in the conference hall, a burst of intense shouting suddenly came from outside the window.
"Give me back my job!"
"Live, not war!"
"Advocate peaceful negotiations and reject armed conflicts!"
Everyone's expressions changed slightly. Li Mingsheng slowly stood up, walked to the window, reached out and gently pulled open the curtains.
At this time, many teams could be seen on the streets outside, holding banners and shouting.
Among these people, there were people of all ages, mainly young people, all of them were very excited and their shouts were deafening.
In their opinion, there might really be a war in Longcheng. Almost the vast majority of the people do not want to disrupt this peaceful and tranquil life and cannot accept war.
Especially for those merchants engaged in maritime trade, this incident caused a greater conflict of interest for them, so they all brought people out to protest.
Seeing the scene outside, Li Mingsheng frowned and thought for a long time. He turned his head and said to the people in the conference hall: "Notify the people in the Education Bureau immediately and ask them to stabilize the young scholars first. These people are more important than anything else. Remember, don't be too radical. Use persuasion and guidance. At the same time, organize some people to give speeches in schools. Don't let external forces arbitrarily guide the pace."
Everyone nodded, and some relevant departments immediately recorded the information.
After a pause, Li Mingsheng continued, "At the same time, we must continue to strengthen security. Notify the First Army of the Renmin Army and ask them to send a regiment to Longcheng to maintain stability and set up patrol posts at major intersections."
After all these notifications were made, Li Mingsheng put his hands behind his back, turned his head and instructed Li Yuan: "Notify the Huatong Association to hold a meeting in the evening and ask all the vice presidents and above to participate in the meeting."
The Huatong Association is in charge of all association management in Longcheng. When it comes to workers' issues, it is most direct and effective to ask them to handle them.
Li Yuan nodded and immediately replied: "Okay, leader, I will notify them after the meeting."
"Um."
Li Mingsheng sat back in his chair and continued to listen to various reports from other aspects.
…
At this time, the streets of Longcheng were filled with marching and demonstrating teams.
On both sides of the street, many shops related to maritime trade were closed. The street was deserted and very depressed, which was in stark contrast to the prosperous and bustling scene in the past.
Although some restaurants and other daily necessities shops are still open, there are very few customers inside.
In the afternoon, the First Army also entered the city. Many military vehicles drove along the streets and began to set up patrol posts.
The residents of Longcheng began to feel uneasy as they looked at these soldiers who were on high alert, and all kinds of negative emotions continued to grow.
…
In the evening, An Xi military headquarters.
An Zecheng sat in his office, wearing reading glasses, looking at the intelligence sent back from the front line.
“Boom boom boom!”
Just then, there was a knock on the office door.
"Enter!"
Liu Hongxu immediately pushed the door open, walked quickly to An Zecheng and said, "Report to the commander, according to the location given by Gu Baishun, Brother Qiu did find a clue there."
An Zecheng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked up at the other party: "Did you touch it?"
