Crimson Dawn

After the Spring Festival, the Yunlong Lake construction site went through a month of intensive construction, and the first phase of the project was completed ahead of schedule.Like the large-scale infrastructure construction in the past, the construction site of the Yunlong Lake project also has a lot of big signs, which show the renderings of the project after the final construction is completed.The Yunlong Lake shown in the rendering has beautiful mountains and clear waters. This is just a large water storage lake with a total area of ​​7 square kilometers. Together with the low-lying areas and mountains around Yunlong Lake of more than 60 square kilometers, it will be a rather vast wetland area.

According to the measurement, when the Bayi levee is completed, the average water depth of Yunlong Lake is close to 30 meters when it is at a safe water level.The total amount of water storage will reach 2 million cubic meters. As long as there is no super flood, the possibility of Xuzhou being flooded will be reduced to a very low level.

It’s just that the beautiful scenery on those big posters is just a vision for the future. In the early spring of 1912, Yunlong Lake was presented to everyone as a large earth pit of unprecedented scale. The digging was very regular, but it had nothing to do with Meigan.First the masses withdrew from the construction site, and then most of the troops withdrew from the construction site.The subsequent work is the responsibility of the relevant technical arms, and the pure physical labor is finally over.

Zhou Zhentao was not as happy as the soldiers. The soldiers knew that the heavy work of digging the pit had come to an end, and the next step was to rest, so they were naturally happy from the bottom of their hearts.Correction is not just about rest, it includes credits, awards, and even promotions.Every item is good news for comrades.But in Zhou Zhentao's view, these well-deserved rests not only did not make him happy, but made him feel strongly unhappy.

The Political Department required that a discussion and summary meeting be held before the merit appraisal. More importantly, the personnel adjustment of the commanders this time was actually different from the previous ones. In the past, the evaluation was done at the grassroots level and led by the leaders.This time, the adjustment of the commander below the battalion level became the leader, and the grassroots assessment passed.Zhou Zhentao never expected that the Political Department would do this. He sat on the chair with a gloomy face and said nothing. [

While thinking about something, the guard came in to report, "Mr. Zhou, Comrade Chu Shiliang requests to see you."

"No see!" Zhou Zhentao's voice revealed the annoyance in his heart.The guard was about to leave, but Zhou Zhentao stopped the guard again, "Let him in."

This time, Chu Shiliang no longer had the flattering and excited look on his face. He rushed to Zhou Zhentao anxiously, "Mr. Zhou, you have to help me!"

Even knowing what Chu Shiliang was talking about, Zhou Zhentao still didn't answer directly, ""What happened to you again?

Chu Shiliang said anxiously: "Mr. Zhou, for this personnel adjustment, the platoon leader will be promoted to the company commander to review the work. In our company, I am only ranked third. Mr. Zhou, you have to help me."

There are four rows in a row, and the third row is the second to last.Even if they wanted to compete for the job of company commander, logically speaking, choosing one of the four was basically a competition between the top two.Chu Shiliang didn't have any special performance at work, so it was impossible for him to have a chance.

"How much is the difference between you and No.2?" Zhou Zhentao asked.

"Just a little bit." Chu Shiliang replied.

"How much is the difference?"

"This..." Chu Shiliang didn't dare to say the difference directly.

"How much is the difference?" Zhou Zhentao asked.

"It's 15% worse." Chu Shiliang muttered.

Zhou Zhentao was furious in his heart. If the difference was only 1%, or even 3%, Chu Shiliang could still say that the difference with other comrades was limited, but this 15% was almost one-sixth.Zhou Zhentao couldn't understand how Chu Shiliang had the cheek to come to him.

Chu Shiliang obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with him. Seeing that Zhou Zhentao was silent, he quickly came up to him and said tentatively, "Mr. Zhou, I'm your man. If you tell the company, they will definitely listen to you."

Seeing Chu Shiliang's natural expression, Zhou Zhentao didn't even have the mood to scold Chu Shiliang.As expected, villains are useless, and Zhou Zhentao fully understands this truth.Zhou Zhentao originally thought that the villain was capable of doing things anyway, but his character was problematic.If it can be used well, it is not a force that can be borrowed.But Chu Shiliang, a villain like Chu Shiliang who only knows how to make money and only knows how to flatter, will die when it is really his turn to work after he wants to be promoted.

Just about to kick Chu Shiliang out, he heard Chu Shiliang go on to say: "Mr. Zhou, our platoon will still complete the workload after the year. The workload completed is 20% faster than before. But the other platoons The platoon leader wanted to be promoted like crazy, and the workload completed by the number one was 40% faster than before. I also worked hard, but I didn’t expect them to make so much.”

This situation surprised Zhou Zhentao, and his anger towards Chu Shiliang dissipated a lot. "Then how did the workload of the other platoons increase?"

"After the merit evaluation criteria were refined this time, more work was done and more bonuses were paid. I heard that the two platoon leaders encouraged the soldiers to work harder and earn more. They even went to meetings inside if they could not go. Spend all your time on work." Chu Shiliang said very aggrieved.

"He knows what to do, so what did you do?" Zhou Zhentao asked with a frown. [

"Didn't I inquire about the news and attend the meeting?" Chu Shiliang said even more aggrieved.

Zhou Zhentao couldn't understand what Chu Shiliang was hinting at, because he wanted to inquire about Zhou Zhentao's news, which affected Chu Shiliang's work.Therefore, Chu Shiliang felt that Zhou Zhentao had the responsibility to help Chu Shiliang get the chance of this competition.

"Comrade Chu Shiliang, merit evaluation is a matter for the entire army. This is based on the total amount completed. I can't say it alone."

"Mr. Zhou, you are the teacher. In our teacher, whoever decides what you say?"

Zhou Zhentao already knew that he was wrong, and the reason for his mistake was that he shouldn't have talked to people like Chu Shiliang from the very beginning.Because Chu Shiliang is not the kind of person who only wants to earn fame by himself, once he has the opportunity, he will pass the responsibility on to others.

At this time, Zhou Zhentao could drive Chu Shiliang out, or he could directly order Chu Shiliang to get out.However, because he realized his mistake, Zhou Zhentao was full of dissatisfaction with himself, but suppressed his anger.He tried his best to say with a pleasant face: "I know about this matter. I will tell you if there is any news."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your promotion. I will definitely work hard for you in the future." Chu Shiliang thanked him a thousand times and left happily.

"Poor life!" Zhou Zhentao looked at Chu Shiliang's back and cursed inwardly.

Because the psychological peace brought about by sending Chu Shiliang away didn't last long, Zhou Zhentao was able to send Chu Shiliang away, but he couldn't send away the Political Department.Zhou Zhentao still had to do the work assigned by the Political Department.After thinking for a while, Zhou Zhentao asked the guards to invite Li Guangshan from the staff department to the division headquarters.

Li Guangshan is a middle-level staff officer in the Operations Section of the General Staff Department, and used to be Zhou Zhentao's subordinate.As soon as they met, Zhou Zhentao asked, "Guangshan, is there any news recently?"

There was a hint of guilt on Li Guangshan's face, "Mr. Zhou, the staff department has been emphasizing the discipline of secrecy recently. I can't share some news with you anymore."

Close ad

Zhou Zhentao could put on a sullen face towards Chu Shiliang, but he was very kind to Li Guangshan. Even if he was rejected outright, he didn't show any dissatisfaction.Zhou Zhentao said sincerely: "Guangshan, what you said. Naturally, I wouldn't inquire about military secrets. It's just that you have a lot of information, and your judgment on a lot of information is very accurate. I just want to find some opportunities for those comrades." .I think it's a pity to be fired for such a trivial matter."

Even though Zhou Zhentao's attitude was so good, Li Guangshan was not moved by him, "Mr. Zhou, the staff department has been rectifying their style of work, asking the staff not to say anything to the outside world. A lot of spies were arrested a while ago, some of them It turned out to be local people in Xuzhou who quite supported our revolutionary work. If they hadn’t been arrested, and there were all the witnesses and evidence, we couldn’t believe that those people were actually spies. Mr. Zhou, I should have helped everyone in the past. I have helped. From now on, I really dare not violate discipline again."

Even though Zhou Zhentao had a heart, he still felt a bit uncomfortable when facing Li Guangshan, "Comrade Guangshan, do you think I look like a spy?" Zhou Zhentao said sarcastically.

"That's not what I mean." Li Guangshan shook his head lightly, "Mr. Zhou, if we help with some things, we help. If we can't help, we can't help. After such a period of study, I feel more and more afraid in my heart. I used to be Because I wanted to help those comrades and find some opportunities for them to make meritorious deeds. But the news spread too widely, and I couldn’t help those comrades. I am timid and dare not admit what I have done before. But in the future, I will say that I will not participate in this matter again. Mr. Zhou, I will stop this matter."

Zhou Zhentao did not expect Li Guangshan to be so firm.He tried to persuade Li Guangshan to relax, but Li Guangshan said, "This matter ends here." As a last resort, Zhou Zhentao had no choice but to let Li Guangshan leave.

As soon as Li Guangshan left, Zhou Zhentao felt empty in his heart.Zhou Zhentao also knew about the strict investigation of the leak this time. He really didn't expect Chen Ke to take this matter so seriously.Judging from the intensity of Chen Ke's reaction, Li Guangshan guessed correctly Chen Ke's strategic vision.However, as soon as the leak came out, Chen Ke immediately froze all strategic discussions and began to carry out internal rectification instead.Zhou Zhentao was also a little afraid of Chen Ke's handling.If Chen Ke never lets go of this matter, he must investigate it to the end. Even though Chen Ke has never been a manipulative person, it does not mean that Chen Ke will let Zhou Zhentao go.

In order to save those old comrades-in-arms and brothers, Zhou Zhentao took such a big risk, but he failed to achieve the slightest effect in saving people. Thinking of this incident, Zhou Zhentao was both scared and annoyed. "What the hell is Chairman Chen trying to do?" Zhou Zhentao thought with egoistic anger.

Chen Ke was currently participating in the merit appraisal meeting in Gu Lu's regiment. He and Chen Tianhua hid in the house, and outside the house was a company's merit appraisal meeting.The merit meeting completely continued the model of the grass-roots fans' life meeting that Gu Lu started, and the reorganization between the participants and discussants was quite intense.

"The purpose of this meeting is not to avenge grievances. The purpose of the meeting is to enable everyone to work better and do their work better. It is wrong for you to keep saying that the distribution is uneven."

Outside, the cadres are reasoning with the soldiers.Chen Tianhua knew that Chen Ke never liked to intervene in the problems that arise in these practical work.He took advantage of this time to tell Chen Ke about the development process of the entire meeting. [

In the first few days, the soldiers just asked the cadres to explain some problems. After seven or eight days, Chen Tianhua found that the cadres had withstood the stormy criticism and questioning from the soldiers in the previous few days, and began to grasp the theme of the meeting again .Lazy cadres are still a minority after all, most of them are of the same background as soldiers, and they are no worse than comrades when it comes to work.

In response to this situation, Gu Lu proposed a small meeting every three days and a big meeting every five days.And it is required that any problem discussed at a meeting must have a solution.Even if there are problems with the solution, we must first come up with the solution, and we must not just raise the problem without solving the problem.

Hearing Chen Tianhua's introduction to this point, Chen Ke couldn't help but praise: "This is indeed the key."

Chen Tianhua also quite agreed with this. Although he didn't tell Chen Ke, he still couldn't help but think of a meeting not long ago.

"Then why don't the comrades in charge of logistics work so hard?" a soldier asked.This question is not full of malice. Compared with the comrades who dig and lift the soil every day, the comrades who do logistics seem to have a lot easier work.

"The comrades in the logistics department are not idle at all. We can't just see that the logistics department is not so tired when everyone is working, and the logistics department is not idle when everyone is resting." The cadres explained.

The empty-mouthed explanation seems to have little effect, and comrades are neither opposed nor in favor, but have no concept at all.After seeing everyone's reaction, the cadres were anxious but couldn't find a solution, so they could only sulk.

When Chen Tianhua attended the meeting, he kept silent. He was happy to see this situation.Seeing that everyone's suggestions are getting more and more outrageous, what kind of accounting and reporting.In short, it has completely become a discussion about who is easier, and it has deviated from the direction of solving the problem.Chen Tianhua couldn't help interjecting, "Well, I suggest that comrades do some work in rotation. For example, in the logistics department, except for a few positions that cannot be transferred, other tasks should be based on a shift. The worksheets are done in turn. What do you think? Whether the logistics department is hard or not, you will know when you do it yourself.”

This is the arrangement in the military academy of the party school cadre school. The trainees have to rotate, from standing guard to washing and cooking.Regardless of whether you are a teacher, teacher, platoon leader, or clerk, you are all treated equally.

After listening to Chen Tianhua's suggestion, whether it was a cadre or a soldier, they all thought it was quite good.The comrades looked at Chen Tianhua with admiration in their eyes, Chen Tianhua didn't say anything else, he just thought that this kind of thing should have been popularized in the army long ago, but he didn't expect that this kind of system was not implemented in the grassroots.

Once the plan is approved, it will be implemented the next day.When the meeting was held on the fifth day to summarize, the comrades assigned to the logistics department immediately began to complain to the logistics department.

Comrades in the labor department eat and sleep on time.All aspects of life are handled by the logistics department.The logistics department is always the earliest to get up and the last to sleep.If it weren't for such a time, it would be impossible for everyone to have breakfast on time after waking up.Based on labor intensity alone, the logistics department may not be as heavy as the labor department.However, in terms of working hours, the logistics department far exceeds that of the labor department.As for the comrades' evaluation of the logistics department, of course it is definitely not good.Those who are in charge of logistics are scolded. They work hard and don't get enough praise. These comrades who temporarily go to the logistics department to participate in the work are all eye-opening.

Recalling the way those comrades who believed that the comrades in the logistics department were doing easy work began to complain to the logistics department one by one, Chen Tianhua couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Chen Ke also didn't ask Chen Tianhua why he was laughing. If Chen Tianhua wanted to say something, or thought it was necessary, Chen Tianhua would naturally tell Chen Ke.If Chen Tianhua didn't want to speak, there was no point in pressing him.Moreover, Chen Ke's attention was attracted by the discussion outside.

After the cadres and comrades discussed some points of view, the meeting entered the summary part.

Whether it is a cadre or a soldier, they all think that Gu Lu's proposal that the labor headquarters must be built on the front line of labor is very good.Comrades once complained the most about "I can't see the cadres while working." After discussing with the comrades in the regiment camp, Gu Lu changed the cadres' meeting in the regiment to a battalion-level meeting. Try to go to the front line and try to hold it on the construction site. It can ensure that cadres stay on the front line most of their working hours.Not only the company commanders and platoon leaders were able to solve problems on the spot, but also more battalion and regiment cadres were able to go to the grassroots level. Many doubts in the past were immediately alleviated a lot.

With that problem solved, most fighters have nothing to say.The People's Party has a well-established system, with rules to follow from planning to logistical support.After public discussion, both the cadres and soldiers discovered another problem. Many systems have existed for a long time, but the cadres and soldiers have no way to fully understand the role of the system.

"I don't want to be an official either. It's useless to learn so many things." Quite a few soldiers look at the problem with this mentality.When discussing merit, the comrades refused to give in at all.But everyone eventually discovered that cadres and soldiers actually have very different understandings of how to judge meritorious service.The maze quickly returned to its original appearance as a work meeting, the only difference being that whether it was cadres or soldiers, they finally took the meeting seriously.In particular, the soldiers finally dared to speak at the meeting, instead of asking what they didn't understand like before.

Originally, I had to report to my superiors in my work, and there were not many tasks that required my superiors to coordinate.The problems that comrades encounter directly are very small problems, but the soldiers have no way to deal with these problems.Without the platoon leader and company commander on the front line, the comrades often cannot solve the problem smoothly, which greatly delays the completion of the workload.

After this meeting took the road of "grasping production and promoting revolution", there were fewer personal conflicts between individuals, and their devotion and seriousness to work increased a lot.

While Chen Ke was listening carefully to the comrades in the meeting outside the room discussing how to work better and how to distribute the prizes, someone came in.But it was Liu Yongsheng.

Even with a serious attitude, Liu Yongsheng still spoke in a leisurely manner, "Chairman Chen, the leaker has finally been caught."
