"Dear Uncle of the People's Liberation Army, hello ------"
The first letter received by the recruit company was actually from a local elementary school student, and after opening it, the first line caused us recruits who had been in the army for less than a month to be both surprised and unhappy, "We are not the People's Liberation Army, we are armed police, we are armed police!" ”
After the lower company, the veterans often ridiculed, "The PLA is an uncle, and the armed police are XX", what should be understood specifically, don't guess if you don't understand, it shows that you are afraid of being blackened.
In the following years, when others called them wrong, including their comrades-in-arms, they also pointed out to others on the spot, "We are armed police!" Not the PLA. "At the same time that we are not happy, we also make people unable to get off the stage.
As the age of the soldiers increases, when someone calls us the PLA in the future, there will be no such entanglement, smile slightly, call anything, we are not stupid before we became soldiers, it doesn't matter, as long as we know that we are soldiers.
If we trace back to the roots, the armed police are actually transferred from the PLA, especially the mobile units, which were transferred later. Including our state apparatus, in fact, most of them came from the People's Liberation Army to take over the old organs in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the courts, procuratorates, public security and other systems still wear large-brimmed hats to this day. Even the current urban management, the Food and Drug Administration and other units with law enforcement powers, they also wear large-brimmed hats on their heads, and their epaulettes, collars and chest tags are complete, and they can clearly know who they are imitating.
The role of the armed police is self-evident, the main solution to social contradictions, and the PLA's functions and tasks are different, around 2010 several riots in the southwest and northwest, the main force to deal with is the armed police. The number of police is obviously insufficient, and sending the People's Liberation Army will give the West a handle and cause international public opinion. Therefore, when the armed police are not enough, they either temporarily change their clothes or directly transfer to the armed police.
When I was still in the army a few years ago, I often said that "the PLA is to raise soldiers for a thousand days and use troops for a while, and the armed police is to raise soldiers for thousands of days and use troops for thousands of days", there is no PLA garrison in many places, but there will definitely be an armed police squadron stationed in the local area, and the local government can coordinate the use of troops, that is, the local armed police squadron, fire fighting and militia.
The underworld forces in many places are not afraid of the police, but are afraid of the armed police. First, when the crackdown was severe in the 80s and 90s, it was the armed police who carried out the execution; second, the battalion of the troops who fought with iron had no worries about the future and was not afraid of retaliation by local evil forces; third, the only local troops that could be used to crack down on criminal syndicates and eliminate evil forces were the armed police force, and one or two incidents could enhance their prestige.
The armed police are often the first troops to be mobilized in emergency rescue and disaster relief, because the coordination of the armed police is not too complicated and widespread.
To this day, I still have the police officer card from a long time ago, the PLA is an officer card, the armed police is a police officer card, and now it is not clear what kind of replacement, whether it is from the original black leather surface to the later red leather surface, the bottom of the leather surface has the signature of the State Council. This is in response to the organizational leadership system in which the armed police were subject to dual leadership at that time, and now the implementation of the requirement that "the army is the army, the police is the police, and the people are the people" is all under the direct leadership of the Central Military Commission.
It's a little broken, let's make do with it
To say that it is the difference with the police, I think the most important thing is the law enforcement power, although with the "Armed Police Law" escort, but after all, it is a force, it is impossible to be like the police, the restriction must be limited. At that time, there were also a few people who used documents to fool the people who did not understand, which caused a bad impact.
Now it is too difficult to distinguish between the PLA and the armed police, the clothes are almost changed, and some armed police of the PLA also have it, that is, I, the former soldier, do not carefully look at the current soldiers can not tell who is who, if the name is wrong, I hope they are not as angry as I was back then.
When I take my children to see the soldiers, I will also teach the children to say hello: Uncle of the People's Liberation Army, uncle of the armed police, hello.
