303: Decision on Severely Cracking Down on Officials and Cadres Who Violate Laws and Discipline and Criminal Activities

"Ah, whether it's an Inspector, or the current Secretary or Director, aren't they all essentially serving the Empire? It's just different responsibilities."

Li Yang responded with a smile, his words humble and calm, fully revealing his indifferent attitude towards the change in his position, yet the glint in his eyes could not hide his inner joy.

"Haha, Secretary Li, regarding your position, I have a little rumor tucked away here, do you want to hear it?"

Ou Ben, with a mysterious expression, secretly leaned closer to Li Yang, a sly smile on his face, deliberately teasing him.

Ou Ben's demeanor instantly piqued Li Yang's curiosity.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes, and said,

"Oh? What rumor? Tell me, don't keep me in suspense."

Ou Ben cleared his throat and said in a low voice,

"Actually, the higher-ups initially planned to transfer you to the Virgo Supercluster to serve as Secretary and Director. After all, this Supervisory Group's plan, as well as the proposal for the two newly established departments, were all initiated by you. Your abilities and contributions are evident to everyone. The higher-ups felt that with your talent, you could fully display your skills on a broader stage.

But later, they considered that you had only recently taken office in This Galaxy Cluster. If you were promoted so quickly and drastically, the steps might be too big, which might not be good for your development. After careful consideration, they dropped the idea."

"Transferred to the Virgo Supercluster?"

Li Yang was slightly stunned, secretly pondering that it was the superior Galaxy of This Galaxy Cluster.

Although the higher-ups ultimately canceled this decision, Li Yang did not feel much disappointment in his heart; instead, he expressed great understanding.

After all, looking back at his career, his promotion speed was indeed rapid.

From initially becoming a military officer to now, less than five years have passed, and he has been promoted from Lieutenant all the way to Lieutenant colonel. Not only that, he also holds two important D8-level positions concurrently.

Such rapid promotion is rare in the Imperial officialdom.

Such a smooth path to promotion, even without this change, would inevitably attract some attention and discussion.

Therefore, it is reasonable for the high-level officials to slow down the pace of promotion, considering various factors.

"But don't worry..."

Ou Ben continued seriously,

"According to what the higher-ups revealed, as long as This Galaxy Cluster does not have particularly outstanding political achievements in the next few years, and as long as no major problems arise, you will still be promoted at the designated time."

Hearing this, not only was Li Yang quite surprised, but even Wei An and An Cheng, who had been listening quietly nearby, couldn't help but show surprise.

They knew that this implied the Imperial high-level officials had extremely high expectations for Li Yang, and also hinted that Li Yang would play a more crucial role in the future development blueprint of the Empire.

These seemingly simple words actually contained absolute trust in Li Yang's abilities.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the office was subtle, and everyone's hearts were stirred by this unexpected news.

Especially An Cheng, who had mixed feelings in his heart.

He recalled that when he had interacted with Li Yang before, whether in terms of seniority or position, he was much higher than Li Yang. In his eyes, Li Yang was just a promising junior who had just started out at that time.

However, time had passed, and in just one or two short years, the current Li Yang was already on equal footing with him, and soon, he would even become someone he needed to look up to.

An Cheng couldn't help but sigh to himself, confirming that his judgment of people had been correct back then.

"Then, for the work in these few years, I'll have to trouble you all."

Li Yang looked sincerely at Ou Ben, An Cheng, and Wei An, his words full of earnestness.

He deeply understood that the stability and development of This Galaxy Cluster in the next few years were crucial and inseparable from the support and cooperation of his colleagues around him.

"No trouble, no trouble, it's all as it should be."

Ou Ben responded with a hearty laugh, while exchanging glances with An Cheng and Wei An.

Immediately after, the few of them burst into laughter in unison... In the vast cosmic map of the Xili Empire, the personnel adjustment work in This Galaxy Cluster had just settled. Other Galaxies, under the orderly arrangements of the Empire, also quickly completed the personnel replenishment for the Secretary and Director of the Discipline Inspection Committee and the Supervisory Committee for Imperial Officials.

Especially in places where the Inspector position already existed within the original Galaxy, like Li Yang in This Galaxy Cluster, the former Inspector naturally assumed the role of the highest Person in Charge for these two brand new departments.

In this way, the Empire's new supervisory system framework was gradually established in various Galaxies, laying a solid foundation for subsequent actions.

After completing this crucial personnel deployment, the Xili Empire Supreme Political Council decisively took action and timely issued a far-reaching plan for strict investigation and crackdown.

"The Xili Empire Supreme Political Council issued the 'Decision on Severely Cracking Down on Illegal and Disciplinary Officials and Criminal Activities'

Since the vigorous implementation of the Xili Empire's comprehensive expansion plan, the Empire has achieved remarkable accomplishments in the political and economic fields, and the overall situation is steadily improving.

However, beneath this facade of prosperity, hidden dangers that cannot be ignored lurk. Public security has gradually deteriorated, and illegal and disciplinary behaviors have proliferated like weeds. Although a series of rectification efforts have been made previously, and the situation has improved, the root cause of the problem has not been fundamentally resolved.

Currently, illegal and disciplinary phenomena among Imperial Officials persist despite repeated prohibitions, and serious criminal cases are showing a significant upward trend. These ugly acts not only severely affect the sense of security among Imperial Citizens and disrupt social harmony and stability, but also act as huge stumbling blocks, becoming major obstacles to the Xili Empire's stable development.

In view of this, the Xili Empire Supreme Political Council, after careful deliberation and prudent consideration, resolutely decided to launch a three-year tough battle, organizing three large-scale campaigns.

This action will strictly adhere to the principle and spirit of "severe and swift punishment, sweeping all into the net" according to law, and will mercilessly and resolutely crack down on illegal and disciplinary Imperial Officials and various types of criminals.

In this significant action, the Xili Empire Discipline Inspection Committee for Imperial Officials and the Xili Empire Supervisory Committee will bear the heavy responsibility of full accountability. The administrative central departments of each Galaxy and the stationed security forces must unconditionally and fully cooperate with the Discipline Inspection and Supervision work within their respective Galaxies.

The specific action goals are clear and resolute: to lawfully arrest a large number of lawbreakers and bring them to justice, making them bear the legal consequences for their crimes.

For those with confirmed crimes, fair sentencing will be imposed; for those with less serious offenses but still requiring education and reform, labor reform measures will be implemented; for those criminals who have committed serious crimes and corrupt and degenerate officials, they will be resolutely executed, with no leniency or compromise.

Lawfully arrest a large number of lawbreakers, sentence a large number, subject a large number to labor reform, and execute a number of criminals with serious crimes and corrupt officials.

This announcement officially takes effect from [the Xili Empire Supreme Political Council's notification].
