Chapter 150: Punishment (II)

Xing Tian was more than half right-going to Dayangtun without permission did contain a willingness for Zhuo Wu to adjust himself, but the psychological factor that contributed to this adjustment was not fear or shock, but a loss of confidence. Until now, he still craved adjustment, and more intensely, but his focus had quietly shifted to the physiological level.

This is also why when the confessions of the other three "colleagues" were recorded in Dante's notebook, Zhuo Wu's expression was always like a pool of stagnant water. His mind was filled with memories of the fierce battle with the Gecko Boss the night before, and the image of what should have been the enemy's fists and kicks weakly bouncing off his opponent's vital points lingered before his eyes. However, this does not mean that he has turned a deaf ear to their arguments. He had prepared some words to defend himself, and when he heard the three of them competing to take responsibility and cover for himself directly or indirectly, he was ashamed to throw them away, and Xingtian's sentence "The way of officialdom doesn't work with us" was like an encouragement, making him determined to completely reveal those ideas that had already popped up.

"At first glance, the 'Forbidden Land' and the 'Evil Temple' are very similar, both of which are when we go to a village, keep an eye on the local snake who is doing evil with his power and ill-gotten gains, and punish him by uncovering up the crimes that he has concealed. But I think the situation in these two operations is very different, especially in the villages. Zhuo Wu said as he saw everyone looking up at him with surprised eyes, and he felt very embarrassed, wondering whether he should let his butt fall back to his seat, after all, in the past, when the group held meetings, everyone always sat and talked regardless of whether they were casual or restrained. Glancing at Yu Gong, the leader was just waiting for his next words, and did not say anything about his posture of speaking.

"The depth of Chang Jinzhu's family's roots in Dayangtun is far from being comparable to the status of Wang Zhizi, a businessman who has returned to his hometown in that county. Moreover, Wang Zhizi's business is unpopular, so he is unwilling to let forces outside himself intervene in whatever he does, and Chang Jinzhu's family not only has the support of Shiheng, but also has the ability to use forces like Yitengwang, Ou Luochuan, and possibly the Gecko Gang for their use. Therefore, we went deep into their territory to compete with them, and many places did not take the initiative. ”

"Is this what you wanted to say from the beginning?" asked Yu Gong, dissatisfied with his trivial opinions. "No, no. What I want to say, in fact, ......" Zhuo Wu couldn't help but glance at Xingtian timidly, and gathered enough strength to say, "Actually, I said it when I voted on whether to launch the 'Forbidden Land' operation. "Hmm?" Yu Gong glanced at Xingtian and asked, "What did you say?" "I said, 'The affairs of the village are often done according to the methods of the village. ”

Xing Tian pulled the hand that was picking at the cigarette case out of his trouser pocket: "Oh, I remember, you said that." But this ...... Is that an objection? You voted yes at the time. "Yes, I voted yes, and that was one of the mistakes I made. I should be clear about my views and stand by my position. "Zhuo Wu is open and honest," but because I ...... I have been mixed in the society for too long, and I have brought the style of the company into the work of the group. Just now Xing Tian said, 'The officialdom won't work in our place' woke me up, and I think that as Zhuo Wu, I must sincerely express my opinion at the group meeting. However, I would like to state that what I am saying is directed at the operation itself, not at any one of my 'colleagues'. Yugong nodded, "Then explain the 'things in the village' and the 'methods in the village'." ”

Nowadays, there are still some rural areas in China, especially poor and remote rural areas, which are closed and conservative due to backward economy, transportation and infrastructure, and people there are generally accustomed to following the etiquette and law emphasized by traditional thinking, and modern legal norms and codes of conduct are not binding on them in comparison. And when they are forced to do the most basic necessities of life, the rules of the law and other rules are even more pale, and sometimes some or most of the people in the village will not hesitate to make the mercenary choice in order to try to lift the village out of poverty, which is a collective unconscious risk, because the threat caused by poverty is far greater than the punishment of the law.

"I'm familiar with this, I grew up in the village, our village ...... Very poor. When I went to university in Beijing, I had a lot of discomfort at first. That day, after listening to the 'colleagues' introduce the general situation of Dayangtun Village, and finding that it is also very poor, poorer and more closed than our village, I immediately thought of what kind of life difficulties and concepts of right and wrong the local villagers clinged to, and what adverse effects these ordinary people have on our actions in this poor mountain village, regardless of the strength of our opponents. Seeing the barricade before Xingtian entered the village, I further strengthened my thoughts. Zhuo Wu sighed and said, "I forgot who I heard before that he was not afraid of poverty, in my opinion, to say that poverty is not terrible, either he has not lived a poor life, or he has not told the truth." But now it is clear to me that greed is more terrible than poverty. From our point of view, the 'forbidden land' is not to interfere with the old and new village officials in Dayangtun, but to help Lao Jiu implement his policy of getting rich and prevent Chang Jinzhu's family from causing sabotage. But this is just the wishful thinking of our foul team, if Chang Jinzhu's family and Shiheng throw a considerable benefit in front of the villagers, such as a large sum of money, within reach, and immediately desirable, it will be difficult for the villagers to resist the temptation, and they will have to lean towards Chang Jinzhu and Shiheng after receiving the benefits. As a result, it will be extremely difficult for Lao Jiu or us to take measures in Dayangtun. ”

Boom! Yu Gong slammed his fist on the iron table, so Zhen Zhuo Wu didn't dare to say anything further, and the others also looked at Yu Gong with fear. "It's to the point, it's to the point!" Yu Gong raised his eyebrows and sighed, "In the old saying, this is called 'mass foundation'. This operation is inseparable from the mass base, and it has also been delayed on the mass base!"

"Yu Gong, what did you just say?" Everyone felt that Yu Gong's last sentence was not enough, and Xing Tian raised an issue of common concern to them. "A lot of things have happened in a week's work, you are in a hurry today, don't you bother to read the latest headlines of Yiteng.com? Yu Gong's tone was flat, but everyone held their breath after listening to it.

"Jane Eyre, who holds the temporary command of the Beijing side of the 'forbidden land' operation, neglects the management of the members of the detachment, allows them to violate the discipline of the group's activities, and conceals the facts. As of today, you will be stripped of the authority to command a detachment or an entire group and will not be able to take command of the next operation, depending on your performance in the next operation. ”

"Xingtian, as a veteran member of the group, insisted on providing advice to Jane Eyre that did not comply with the group's rules, shielding 'colleagues' for violating the group's interaction discipline, and concealing the facts with Jane Eyre. In the next operation, the front-line tasks in the field will be entrusted to you, and you must complete each task in a timely, neat and thorough manner, and you must not evade it with 'hardship', 'tiredness', 'danger' and other excuses. ”

"Zhuo Wu knowingly committed a crime, ignored the discipline of the group's activities, acted on his own, and did not notify the 'colleagues' in charge of the command from beginning to end. You are temporarily banned from participating in the group's actions from today. White Snake, you knew that Zhuo Wu came to Dayangtun in violation of discipline, and cooperated with him while helping him hide it. You are temporarily banned from participating in the group's actions from today. When the ban will be lifted between the two of you will be determined by Director Zhang's opinion. ”

After listening to this series of punishment decisions, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although the punishments that fell on everyone's heads were based on the discipline of the group, they were already merciful to Jane Eyre and Xingtian, and as for Zhuo Wu and White Snake, it was not so much a punishment as a recuperation. Just when they all thought that this meeting was over, Yu Gong said: "Finally, Yu Gong, this 'forbidden land' action that did not achieve its goal was started because of me. After regaining command, I did not stop the group operation that had escalated from my personal affairs, but led everyone deeper and deeper. Once the operation began, I did not do a good job of intelligence work, and I did not fully understand the situation of the opponent and the area where the operation was carried out. I was too hasty when I made a decision and gave orders during the operation. This series of mistakes not only caused the operation to fail, but also led to injuries to the team members. Therefore, Yu Gong also has to be punished. ”
