General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV)’s Nguyen Phu Trong is the oldest person in the Communist Party currently in office. He broke the Party’s rules and granted himself two special privileges. This proves that he is the person with the best political ability in the Party. From a weak position, he knocked down the Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung, forcing him to leave the political scene, which was an affirmation that no one was his opponent anymore.
If said, Nguyen Tan Dung has the ability to install his people in different high-ranking positions to protect him when he retires, and also to let his power revive, then incumbent party chief knows how to deal with that. Trong wanted to do whatever he wanted to do many years in advance, when the time was right, he took action. Nguyen Phu Trong’s familiar technique in big games is to take tigers out of the forest and kill them.
The first person involved in Trong’s game was State President Tran Dai Quang who died in his midterm. Quang was taken away from the Ministry of Public Security, which was considered his forest, and he fell into a trap. This plan was so sharp that even To Lam is afraid, when he is likely to be the second person after his predecessor.
Although Mr. To Lam did not have a big enough enemy to defeat him, like Tran Dai Quang’s enemy, To Lam is still afraid. Therefore, To Lam decided to stay as Minister of Public Security, but did not dare to accept the position of President. In the end, Vo Van Thuong was pushed into the position that should be to To Lam.
The second person involved in the game is former President Nguyen Xuan Phuc. Phuc was removed from the government, and then knocked down. The enmity of former President Phuc and those who deposed him was not too sharp so he remains alive to retire to avoid death fate.
And the third person involved in the game is Deputy Prime Minister Le Van Thanh. Thanh is both a meritorious man and a sinner like Nguyen Ba Thanh. Some say, for a Communist official, having both merit and delinquency is also the best person the Communist Party can create. Because most of the people molded by the Party are incompetent, only destroying but not contributing.
Nguyen Ba Thanh is hated by many people, but also loved by many. So is Le Van Thanh, he held Hai Phong city and created a dynamic face for the port city. However, the black mark left by Le Van Thanh is not small.
In Hai Phong, Le Van Thanh used to be like a king of a realm. Among the scandals left him was his support of Do Huu Ca, the former Director of Hai Phong Police Department. This created a red-black alliance raging throughout the northern provinces, especially the coastal provinces.
In 2021, Le Van Thanh was transferred to the Government by a powerful force in the Central Government, ceding Hai Phong city to the Southern wing. The position of Secretary left by him was assigned to Tran Luu Quang by the party chief. Tran Luu Quang went to Hai Phong to suppress Le Van Thanh’s juniors, preventing this force from continuing to abuse.
In parallel with using the Tay Ninh group to control the Hai Phong group in Hai Phong, General Secretary Trong ordered To Lam to bring good policeman Dinh Van Noi to Quang Ninh. The purpose of these transfers was to prepare to intercept the black and red bands operated by the Hai Phong group in Quang Ninh. And what will happen will come, Tay Ninh group guarded, causing Hai Phong police director to lie still, so that Dinh Van Noi, after arresting Do Huu Ca, continued to lead troops to Hai Phong to arrest 2 more tax officials. In general, Secretary Le Tien Chau overpowered Hai Phong’s red and black interests, allowing Dinh Van Noi to seize Hai Phong’s interests.
Regarding Le Van Thanh, the country’s leadership highly appreciated him. When Le Van Thanh went to the government, Le Van Thanh also set up a network to support the interest group under his command in Hai Phong. And that’s why Le Van Thanh has to be punished. The plan is meticulous and accurate to every centimeter. It is no coincidence that General Secretary Trong is the boss of the bosses.
