Crimson Dawn

From the very beginning, the rectification work conference aimed at middle and high-level officials had heated debates, and some comrades did have such expectations. om is just that the debate really happened, and everyone feels not so at ease.After all, within the People's Party, no one has dared to directly challenge Chen Ke's authority, and no one is even willing to challenge Chen Ke's authority.In terms of how to treat the "revolutionary heroes", Zhou Zhentao stood up to defend the interests of the "old revolutionaries". Even if everyone agreed in their hearts, no one dared to stand up and express their support.

When Zhou Zhentao was questioned by Chen Ke, seeing Zhou Zhentao's embarrassing expression, the comrades who originally supported Zhou Zhentao felt a little lucky. They didn't think they had the ability to do better than Zhou Zhentao, at least they didn't have the courage to argue with Chen Ke to the end like Zhou Zhentao .

Zhou Zhentao also felt his isolation and help. At this time, as long as one comrade stood up and said a word for Zhou Zhentao, this embarrassing situation could be greatly alleviated, but he held back for a long time, and he was still standing there alone. .Not even a single comrade to save him.Zhou Zhentao found that the more he thought about others, the more he couldn't answer the questions. In the end, he simply put everything behind him and said completely according to his own ideas, "Chairman Chen, you are too harsh on comrades, I only object to this. Other than that, I don’t want to object to anything. Those comrades have indeed done wrong things. Looking at myself these days, I have also done many things wrong. If you want to punish me, I have no complaints. But this punishment is too severe , I don’t think it’s fair. At least you have to give him a chance to make meritorious deeds.”

Hearing that Zhou Zhentao finally said something, the comrades' eyes fell back to Chen Ke.

"Great work is merit, and faults are faults. These are two completely different things. Why do we have to mix these two things into one thing? For example, if you did one wrong thing before, even if you do [-] correct things in the future, If you do something wrong, it doesn’t exist? What you have done is history. Who has such a great ability to make what happened disappear? Comrades, we all claim to be materialists, and we cannot use idealist thinking patterns Go think about it!" [

Seeing that Chen Ke didn't press harder in theory, Zhou Zhentao finally felt relieved, and he replied: "If you do something wrong, you should be punished, but you can't be punished so severely. Everyone is worried all day long that they will be punished if they do something wrong." Removal, how does this work?"

Chen Ke patiently explained: "A person's mind is never isolated. The dominant factor in doing something wrong is an internal cause. For example, the army requires a grenade throwing distance of more than 19 meters. If a comrade is not strong enough, he will not practice. No exercise. It is impossible for him to throw 19 meters. If one day he suddenly throws a distance of more than 19 meters, it must mean that he did not perform normally that day. The same is true for making mistakes. It shows that his knowledge and understanding of the world is like this. If he does not reflect on, learn from, and work hard on himself after making a mistake, and let him do it again, he will still make this mistake. Because this is an internal cause, the evaluation of him by the outside world does not matter. It does not affect the function of this internal factor. We have such a large organization, and the operation of the organization requires the concerted efforts of a large number of comrades. Comrades have visited the military factory. Manufacturing a gun requires dozens or hundreds of processes. There is a problem in one process link. Even if one machine fails, the entire batch of tens of thousands of cannons will fail. Dozens of other processes, the hard work of several workers and comrades will come to naught. Putting it in the organization, Zhang San is responsible for this matter. You will make mistakes, Li Si made a mistake on another matter, and the mistakes accumulated one by one, how can the revolutionary work continue?"

In reasoning, Zhou Zhentao knew that he was not Chen Ke's opponent. He also gave up arguing with Chen Ke on this point. Zhou Zhentao firmly grasped it and would not let go. "The punishment method is too severe."

"This is not a one-shot, but a gathering of comrades to learn. Through learning, you can understand the world and society more deeply. Cultivate a more scientific world outlook, outlook on life, and values. This is like drawing salary from the bottom of the pot, solving it from the root Question. If you are a comrade who is pursuing official positions, you will naturally feel wronged. If you are a comrade who is pursuing advancement, even if you are not convinced, I think they will obey orders. Let me say again, rectification is not about punishing people. What do you organize to learn?" Chen Ke suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and explained in a calm tone.

After listening to Chen Ke's explanation, most of the comrades present were relieved.The People's Party attaches great importance to education, and the education within the party is very tight.It is not one or two who cannot be promoted because of the slow learning progress.Now that Chen Ke said so, comrades are relieved.It is unreasonable to be dismissed for making a mistake, but after the dismissal, these comrades were organized to study, which is enough to show that Chen Ke did not abandon these comrades.Even comrades who originally supported Zhou Zhentao believed that Zhou Zhentao should take the initiative to sit down at this time.But still no one said a word, no matter whether they felt that they had to save Zhou Zhentao some face, or they didn't want to clearly express their support for Zhou Zhentao, in short, no one took the initiative to intervene in this debate.

Zhou Zhentao stood there alone, he felt that he was almost persuaded by Chen Ke.Without Chen Ke's layout at the grassroots level, if he hadn't clearly seen Chen Ke's ingenious adjustments in personnel, Zhou Zhentao would have believed that what Chen Ke said was indeed the complete truth.It's not that Zhou Zhentao doesn't want to sit down, but he understands very well that since he has argued with Chen Ke to this extent, and Zhou Zhentao himself knows that he has made many mistakes, as long as he goes down the slope and sits down, it is tantamount to giving up all the initiative. Leave it to Chen Ke, no matter how reasonable what Chen Ke said, it is impossible for Zhou Zhentao to keep his current position during the next rectification study.Originally, Zhou Zhentao thought that he was standing up for his old comrades-in-arms, but now he found that his heart was far from being as pure as he thought.Judging from past experience, if you want to be promoted, you have to participate in various party school studies. Party school study is also a rather cruel elimination. Not all comrades can be promoted after studying.

Suppressing his uneasiness and mustering up his courage, Zhou Zhentao finally said: "Chairman Chen, I made a mistake, and I dare not ask for my merits to be redeemed. I just ask you to issue a notice. If you pass the assessment, you can resume your duties. As long as this notice is issued, comrades can feel at ease. That's all I..."

Before Zhou Zhentao could finish speaking, the old comrade sitting next to Zhou Zhentao grabbed Zhou Zhentao's wrist.He said loudly: "You just talk a lot of nonsense, it's your turn to talk about this kind of thing. Sit down quickly."

Among the comrades present, there were not a few who came from official families, and even those who came from reckless families had seen the world.Regardless of the expression on the face, or whether there is any expression, everyone is like a bright mirror in their hearts.

If Zhou Zhentao had just sat down honestly, this matter would have ended here.But Zhou Zhentao's last words were a little too much. If he made a mistake, he would be punished. Even if he didn't go all the way, relegation is a very reasonable way to deal with it.Everyone can guess what Zhou Zhentao meant. He wanted Chen Ke to make it clear that he would not leave these comrades idle.However, the organization's personnel arrangements are naturally determined by the organization. Zhou Zhentao asked Chen Ke to make such a statement, which is completely inconsistent with the system.

Zhou Zhentao's old comrade-in-arms interrupted Zhou Zhentao's words, clearly wanting to stop this matter, which is of course the behavior that a comrade-in-arms should have.It's just that this kind of help is too late. Even the comrades understand Zhou Zhentao's intention of thinking for himself, let alone a leader like Chen Ke who doesn't rub sand in his eyes. Now that Zhou Zhentao has already said the first half, the second half said Not much of a difference.

Sure enough, Chen Ke's face darkened.During the whole debate, Chen Ke still didn't have such an expression.When Zhou Zhentao looked embarrassed and was neither standing nor sitting, Chen Ke said: "Comrade Zhou Zhentao, our People's Party is a revolutionary political party, and our organization's judgment of people is different from other political forces and many traditional Chinese political parties. People’s judgments are also different. The People’s Party believes that the criterion for judging a person is not the person’s official position, not the person’s position. It is the person’s ability to work, and the attitude shown by the person in work and study. Everything you said, my personal opinion is that you always insist on the criteria for judging a comrade, first of all his official position, first of all his position, not the comrade himself. If you must insist on such an attitude, I It can only be said that your level of understanding has not yet reached the standard of a qualified member of the People's Party. You are not a truly qualified revolutionary."

There was a muffled sound in the meeting room, some gasped, some couldn't help sighing, or they accidentally bumped the table and bench lightly without their own noticing.This is the first time that Chen Ke has uttered such a formal denial of comrades.Before that, Chen Ke would get angry occasionally, but he would never speak so relentlessly.

Seeing the performance of the comrades, Chen Ke also felt very uncomfortable.Now that the focus of contradictions is becoming more and more detailed and practical, some things cannot be achieved simply by education.Twisted melons are not sweet and are the same at all times.Even though he knew that some things had to be done, when Chen Ke thought of the consequences of his decision, he still felt a little melancholy in his heart.

When Chen Kezheng was about to continue talking, Zhou Zhentao's old comrade-in-arms, Yang Baogui, the political commissar of the Huaihai Navy District, finally stood up. He was transferred to this post not long ago, so he didn't speak much. "Chairman Chen, let Comrade Zhou Zhentao be handed over to the Party Committee of our military region. As far as his current performance is concerned, I personally feel that it is not his fault. Instead, we need to discuss Comrade Zhou Zhentao's fate. The Party Committee has never discussed Comrade Zhou Zhentao. The problem is the dereliction of duty of the party committee. If we made mistakes in the past, we cannot continue to make mistakes in the future.”

Yang Baogui took over all the responsibilities, and Chen Ke couldn't say anything more.His purpose is to rectify the movement, not to pursue comrades to the end. "Let's leave it to the party committee to discuss." Chen Ke said.

This incident seems to have come to fruition. Most comrades think that Zhou Zhentao will be severely criticized, or he will be pushed to the end and enter the training class.The two consecutive notices three days later left the comrades dumbfounded.

"In view of Comrade Zhou Zhentao's behavior, on March [-], [-], after discussion by the Huaihai Navy District Party Committee, a decision was made to remove Comrade Zhou Zhentao from all military positions and retain his military status." [

"On March [-], [-], after discussion by the Huaihai Navy District Party Committee, Comrade Zhou Zhentao was removed from his party positions and given a party discipline sanction of expulsion from the party and probation in the party for one year."

The People's Party has never punished comrades so severely, and their administrative positions and party positions have been completely deprived. Zhou Zhentao has gone from a dignified teacher, deputy secretary of the division's party committee, and member of the division's party committee standing committee to a man with only military membership. Comrades who don't even have an official establishment.All comrades who heard the news were shocked.

While comrades were talking about this, more news came one after another.The cases of comrades who were taken down due to mistakes during the rectification movement have been conveyed at the grassroots fan life meeting. At the meeting, the mistakes of these comrades were analyzed. On the one hand, they explained why they were taken down, and on the other hand, they also warned Comrades, don't make this mistake again.Squad leaders, platoon leaders, company commanders, battalion commanders, and regimental leaders all became the subject of discussion.Now the teacher Zhou Zhentao has also become a new subject of discussion.

To gain such a "fame" among the [-] troops of the Huaihai Provincial Military Region would be a shame.For such a result, the comrades felt a strong fear.

Within five days after the announcement, hundreds of comrades, including Zhou Zhentao, applied to leave the party.Among them, only a dozen or so comrades were punished.The remaining nearly one hundred comrades have not received direct criticism so far.Their reason for leaving the party is simple, "A man has a face, a tree has a skin." Since the people's party system does not save face for comrades, everyone feels that it is better to get together and leave when face is given to comrades.

For those comrades who want to leave, the People's Party only requires them to write a statement of leaving the party and make it public within the party and the army for a week.A week later, all of them were issued a pass certificate. Regardless of whether the work has been completed for a full month, the full monthly allowance will be paid first, and travel expenses and subsidies will be given.And free luggage, for those who are unwilling to carry personal belongings, the personal belongings will be converted into cash for compensation.The content of all payments is not RMB banknotes, but silver dollars.

"The revolution is all voluntary, so we can get together and leave. We will never force anyone to stay." This is the explanation of the propaganda department.

Knowing this way of handling, some comrades who were equally dissatisfied but worried about being made things difficult for leaving the party filed applications to leave the party one after another.Another group of dissatisfied comrades decided to stay temporarily.Since you can leave whenever you want, there is no need to rush.

On March [-]th, Chen Tianhua approached Chen Ke, "Chairman Chen, the comrades who did not apply to leave the party finally came to me yesterday." Chen Tianhua looked quite tired. , vowed to expel those unqualified party members from the party.But when hundreds of comrades applied to leave, he found that the sense of joy in his heart was not as strong as he had imagined. At this time, Chen Tianhua felt more of an indescribable discomfort and a faint fear.

Chen Ke was approving the documents, he didn't even raise his head, he responded as if nothing happened, "Oh."

"Chairman Chen, you don't have to worry about these comrades taking party secrets with them when they leave. At least you have to ask these comrades to make some guarantees." Chen Tianhua persuaded.

Chen Ke finally raised his head, only then did Chen Tianhua realize that Chen Ke's expression was far less calm than his voice, and the faint fatigue could be seen even without too much effort. "Comrade Tianhua, any guarantee is meaningless. These comrades who left will speak when they want to speak, and will not speak when they don't want to speak. Sometimes, if they don't want to speak, someone will force them to speak. Since everyone After deciding to leave, these comrades will be free. These petty practices do not conform to scientific reason.”

Chen Tianhua had accepted Chen Ke's order a long time ago. What he wanted to say was not to keep these comrades from leaking information, but to let Chen Ke keep these comrades.Seeing that Chen Ke didn't take this issue at all, Chen Tianhua said as if he was talking to himself, "Perhaps we should thank these comrades. Their actions not only made comrades with different lines in the party leave, but also took away a considerable number of comrades. Comrades who have the same thoughts as them. We have purified the team through their actions and strengthened the cohesion of the organization. At least the comrades who stayed know why they chose to stay..."

Chen Ke ignored Chen Tianhua, and just continued to give instructions on official documents.

"However, what impact will this approach have on the grassroots? Will the fighters feel that they can go if they want to when they see this situation? These fighters are different from these party cadres. The comrades in the party will voluntarily .The soldiers are called up through compulsory military service. If they want to go, let them go too?"

"Comrade Tianhua, where are you chanting sutras?" Wu Xingchen's voice came from outside the door.Chen Tianhua didn't expect that he wanted to persuade Chen Ke, but Chen Ke ignored him, but Wu Xingchen came out and interjected.

Chen Tianhua forced a smile, "When a monk hits the sun, he has to recite the sutra after the bell hits. If I can recite the sutra well, I have fulfilled the monk's duty. It's just that it's not easy to recite the sutra now."

"What's wrong with reading," Wu Xingchen said loudly, "I think Chairman Chen said well in the last meeting that a human being is like a machine. If there is a problem with the product produced, it means that the machine is faulty." Problem. The more normal this machine operates according to its own rules, the more problematic products will be produced continuously. If this machine produces a product without problems that day, it means that the machine itself has changed. Since some comrades I don’t think I have a problem, but we have a problem. It’s good for everyone. At least you don’t have to emphasize the problem of eliminating the thinking of heroes in the short term.”
