Guard Command – K01 is a unit under Vietnam’s Ministry of Public Security. This is an agency specializing in training officers with duties protecting senior leaders of the Communist Party and State of Vietnam. In addition to this task, the Guard Command also has the task of protecting heads of state, international guests visiting and working in Vietnam, protecting working areas, activities, and conferences of the Party and the state agencies. High-ranking officials, especially Politburo members, enjoy their protection. That is, these people have security teams, always following closely to protect them.
In the current fierce internal infighting, whoever holds the following two agencies will have a great advantage. It is the Central Committee for Health Care and Protection of the High-ranking Officials and the Guard Command. The Central Health Care Protection Board is a double-edged sword. They can protect the leader’s health, but they can also poison someone, if they are ordered to. This board is so scary, it’s its shady that leaders would rather go abroad for medical treatment than let this board take care of it.
The Guard Command is also a double-edged sword, they can also protect the leaders, but they can also imprison someone, if they receive an order from above. The higher the leader, the harder it is to escape, especially the Politburo members who have been disciplined and removed, they are still assigned guard. However, most likely that team was not to protect them, but to keep them under house arrest.
Recently, the Ministry of Public Security proposed to add three more in the list of being guarded, who are individuals holding the positions of the Secretariat of the Secretariat, the Chief Justice of the Supreme People’s Court, and the Chief Procurator of the Supreme People’s Procuracy. For some unknown reason, the Ministry of Public Security wanted to strengthen the security team for three people, that is, Truong Thi Mai, Permanent Secretary of the Secretariat; Nguyen Hoa Binh, Chief Justice of the Supreme People’s Court, and Le Minh Tri, Procurator General of the Supreme People’s Procuracy.
Ms. Truong Thi Mai is a woman, less involved in internal struggles, however, at the beginning of March, she was also a permanent member of the Secretariat. Just holding one of the two positions that Ms. Truong Thi Mai holds, she is already a powerful figure. On the other hand, Mai also holds two major positions, making many people uncomfortable. To get a seat in the Politburo, one must fight to the death. However, she refused to leave the post of leading the Central Organization Commission.
Maybe in the past, Mrs. Mai did not have any dangerous enemies, but now that she alone holds two major positions, she always has dangerous enemies waiting for their time. According to people from the inside, Mai is not inferior to men in politics. It is no coincidence that she rose to the position of Permanent Secretary of the Secretariat.
Sitting in the permanent seat of the Secretariat, Truong Thi Mai is much tougher than Vo Van Thuong. Thuong did not frighten his subordinates, but Mai was different. People are afraid of Mrs. Mai’s quiet style. Although she doesn’t speak much, her words are like a sharp sword. She said to do it to the end.
Mr. To Lam proposed to strengthen the guard for Ms. Truong Thi Mai, perhaps to protect her, because Ms. Mai is the General Secretary’s person. She will take action to eliminate opponents in the Party.
By strengthening the guard for Nguyen Hoa Binh and Le Minh Tri, perhaps in the near future the judicial branch will have many big cases that cause enmity with powerful forces in the Communist Party.
Nguyen Phu Trong is holding both the Central Health Care and Protection Board and the Guard Command, it is clear that Mr. Trong is holding strong “tools.” Hardly anyone dared to disobey him.
