Chapter 24 I'm Sorry! I'm a Public Security Officer (V)
The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is a large rectangular steel mill covering a total area of ​​approximately 30 acres. It takes about minutes to walk from the southernmost to the northernmost end of the mill, which is longer than taking a walk in a large village or town.

The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, which was directly under the Ministry of Metallurgy, was a small society. In addition to the production workshop, there were also schools for children of local residents, a factory hospital, a canteen, a stadium, a conference hall, a barber shop, a bathroom, a cinema, a supply and marketing cooperative, etc. The internal facilities of the factory were complete, almost like a small city. Of course, there was also a security department responsible for the security of the factory.

Most people in today's society do not have much idea about security departments, and some even think of them as the doormen and security guards of enterprises, which is not quite right.

In this era, the security department of a state-owned factory was a powerful department. The security department was responsible for everything, from small matters like an employee losing an onion to medium matters like a fight between a couple or a conflict between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, to big matters like a spy entering the factory.

In this way, it is not strange for security officers to be equipped with guns. In addition to light weapons (pistols, rifles, submachine guns), a large factory like the Red Star Factory has the Armed Forces and Security Department, and even has heavy weapons such as anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, rocket launchers, mortars, light and heavy machine guns, etc. It also has its own weapons and ammunition depots, security personnel of the Security Department, factory workers' pickets, and militia organizations. Under the leadership of the Armed Forces Department, they can pull out a Class B division in case of emergency, and they are quite combat-effective.

During this special period, the cadres of the security department even had independent investigative powers to maintain public order and deal with enemy spy activities carried out by certain forces and countries against our country's industry.

At this time, the Red Star Factory's security department was led and managed indirectly by Deputy Director Yang, who was in charge of production command at the factory, and directly led and directed by Director Jiang Yifu. At the same time, it was also guided and supervised by the public security organs of the Dongcheng Branch at the same level.

Liu Zhiye and his team rode for about five or six minutes before they arrived at the four-story red brick office building where the factory security department was located.

After waving goodbye to Officer Li, he went to the fourth floor of the office building to report to the Security Department's Director Jiang Yifu.

Jiang Yifu is 34 years old now. He is also a military cadre. He is from Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, and has a high school education. He joined the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region in 42, joined the army in 45, and after the troops entered the city in 49, he was transferred to the public security force. He has been the director of the security department of the Red Star Factory since 55.

Liu Zhiye knocked on the door of the director's office.

"Come in!"

After entering the house, stand at attention and give a standard and powerful salute!

"Report, Hello, Director Jiang! I am from the Jiaodaokou Police Station of the Dongcheng Branch. Deputy Director Liu Zhiye is here to report to you!"

Director Jiang is a pale-faced scholar-type character, but his eyes are very sharp, as if he can see through people's hearts.

He stood up from behind his desk, stretched out his hand as he walked, indicating that he wanted to shake hands with Liu Zhiye.

"Haha~ Great~ Welcome, comrade Liu Zhiye!"

Then he took Liu Zhiye's hand and motioned him to sit on the sofa.

"Come~ sit down and talk, Comrade Liu Zhiye."

After Liu Zhiye sat down, he took out the letter of introduction that he had prepared long ago from his backpack and handed it to him.

"Director Jiang, this is my letter of introduction from the organization, please take a look~"

Director Liang took the letter of introduction, adjusted his glasses and said:

"Okay, Comrade Liu Zhiye, please wait a moment. Let me take a look at your letter of introduction."

After a while, Director Jiang read the letter of introduction and said:

"Great! The bureau finally sent a strong and capable general~"

"I'll call you Comrade Zhiye~ Comrade Zhiye~"

"I was counting the stars and looking forward to the moon, and finally you are here!"

"To be honest, since Comrade Wang Guangyuan's death, the Security Department has been leaderless. Although Deputy Section Chief Sun Li is in charge, I don't trust him."

"The deputy chief of the security department, Sun Li, is a fierce general, but he has a bad temper and is straightforward in his words and deeds. He charges into battle and kills without hesitation. This makes it difficult for him to lead such an important department!"

"So I've been directly managing the Security Department for a while now. I'm also overwhelmed. Our Security Department has so many subordinate departments, and I can't stay in the Security Department all day."

"I've been so anxious for a while. Now it's all good, hahaha~ Thank you for the elite talent sent by the bureau. From now on, the security department will be handed over to you~"

When Liu Zhiye heard Director Jiang praise him and value him, he felt relieved. It was a blessing to meet a boss who valued him. The most annoying thing is a boss who doesn't value his subordinates and is always looking for trouble. He is afraid to do his work.

So he immediately answered in front of Director Jiang:
"Please rest assured, Director. I promise to do whatever you tell me to do under your leadership in the future without making any concessions. The Security Department will also obey the arrangements of the superiors and complete the tasks with guaranteed quality and quantity."

Director Jiang laughed with satisfaction:

"Well, the comrades who came down from our army have excellent work styles. This is very good and we should maintain it. We should not fade away after we retire. Then I will see how you and the security department perform in the future."

After saying that, he stood up and motioned Liu Zhiye to join him:
"Come on, I'll take you to meet Deputy Director Yang who is in charge of our department."

The two then walked and talked out of the office building. Director Jiang said, "I will give you a general introduction to the specific situation of our security department. I will be the director of the department and will be in charge of the work of the department."

"We have two deputy directors in our security department. One is the deputy director of the Public Security Department of the Dongcheng Branch, Comrade Duan Zhonggang. He does not manage the specific business of our department and does not come here often."

"The other one is Comrade Qu Chuanfeng, who assists me in managing daily operations. He took sick leave a while ago. I will introduce him to you after he recovers."

"The Security Department consists of the Security Section, Public Security Section, Fire Section, Office, Patrol Section, Confidential Section, Militia Guard, Transport Section, Equipment Section, Organization Section, Work Committee, and Training Section."

Liu Zhiye said in surprise:
"Wow~ Director, our department has so many jurisdictions?"

Director Jiang said with an expression that showed he knew you would be surprised:
"Our factory is not an ordinary factory or mine. It is one of the most important enterprises directly under the ministry. There are nearly 70,000 workers and their families, just like a small city. Without such a strong security department, it would be impossible to manage it."

Liu Zhiye continued to ask:

"With so many departments, does it take a lot of people to manage them?"

Director Jiang continued, "Not counting the militia, our entire department has 223 people, and the standing militia guard is 60 people."

Liu Zhiye was even more surprised and said: "Wow~ It's enough for half a camp, this scale is not small~"

"The security department and the armed forces department of our factory are in a special situation and are concentrated in one building. Most of the other departments of the factory are located in the main building."

"That's the tallest building." He pointed to the tallest six-story building more than a hundred meters northeast of where they were.

Entering the building, Director Jiang continued to introduce Liu Zhiye:

"The first floor is full of large offices, including cubicles and small offices for cadres below the section level. The second and third floors are offices for deputy division-level cadres, the fourth and fifth floors are offices for leading cadres above the division level, and the sixth floor is offices for leading cadres above the bureau level."

The two came to Director Yang's office on the sixth floor, and Director Jiang knocked on the door gently.

After a while, a loud voice came from the door, "Come in."

Seeing Deputy Factory Director Yang raise his head and look at the two people who came in, Director Jiang smiled and greeted him:
"What's the leader busy with?"

Deputy Director Yang put down the pen in his hand and smiled:

"It's Lao Jiang, you're here?"

Director Jiang continued with a smile:
"Leader, we are here to report a work to you."

Then he pointed again, and Liu Zhiye, who was standing upright beside him with his head held high, said:
"This is Comrade Liu Zhiye, the new head of our security department. He is a very capable guy, a famous combat hero of the Ace Army. He had to transfer to the East City Branch due to an injury."

"Well, in order to strengthen our security work, the bureau specially sent this elite soldier to us."

After hearing Director Jiang's introduction, Deputy Director Yang turned his gaze to Liu Zhiye and began to observe him seriously.

After Liu Zhiye and Director Jiang finished their introductions, they walked forward a few steps, stood at attention and saluted, then said loudly:
"Comrade Director, the head of the Security Department, Liu Zhiye, reports to you. Please give us your instructions!"

Director Yang looked at Liu Zhiye, who was young and handsome, with clean and neat movements and a clear and loud voice, and said "good~good~good" several times in a row, his love for him was beyond words.

"Okay~ Comrade Liu Zhiye, on behalf of the factory leaders, I welcome you. Our factory needs good comrades like you who have strong professional ability, excellent military qualities, and dare to fight and fight."

"The security work in the factory now needs qualified and professional retired soldiers like Liu Zhiye to participate in the work. We will try to focus on this aspect in our future recruitment work."

Director Jiang immediately nodded in agreement:
"The factory director is right. Retired soldiers are much more capable in both quality and professional skills than ordinary militiamen or security guards selected from ordinary people. They are very effective in strengthening the combat effectiveness of our team."

"There are indeed many problems with our factory's security forces. Management is lax and the quality of our team members is uneven. Not to mention the recent sabotage by enemy agents, even petty thefts are rampant despite repeated prohibitions."

Director Jiang continued his self-criticism with a serious face:

"In the final analysis, it is because I, as the leader, failed to lead the team well. I bear the leadership responsibility."

Director Yang waved his hand with a smile on his face:
"This is not criticism or self-criticism. You don't need to review yourself in front of me. I know how heavy the work of the Security Department is. It's difficult for you to support the Security Department alone. Now it's good. We have fresh blood."

"I believe that the Security Department will get better and better under the leadership of capable and responsible comrades like you and Comrade Zhiye."
