"Comrade Li Zhan's Special and Major Contribution Commendation Conference"

The troops walked into the auditorium of the station and looked up to see the white letters on a red background hanging horizontally on the top of the stage.

Thousands of officers and soldiers were shocked. It is extremely rare for a commendation meeting to be held specifically for individuals and to be attended by all units of the entire station, except for the personnel on duty for combat readiness.

Not only did they not wait for the half-year summary in June to be commended, but they also held a large-scale military conference, which can be said to be unprecedented among the troops of the military region.

However, the level of leadership attending the meeting was not high, and Vice Minister Liang, a familiar face, attended on behalf of the military region, and he was only a deputy army-level cadre. The higher-level leadership may have taken into account the special nature of the deeds, or there may be other considerations that are difficult to guess, or there may be other reasons.

Some veteran non-commissioned officers and mid-level cadres noticed the wording of the banner.

Not "Outstanding Contribution", not "Significant Contribution", Not "Special Contribution", Not "Particularly Important Contribution", but "Exceptional Significant Contribution".

First of all, in general, "major" is often used for bad things, such as major accidents, major near-misses, etc. Secondly, the word "special" is very worth figuring out, although it is only one word different from "special", but the meaning is completely different. "Special" refers to something that is unique and difficult to imitate and learn, and refers to the heavier meaning of the person, while "special" is often used to distinguish and emphasize something, and the meaning of reinforcement is heavier.

The six words "special and significant contributions" completely summarize the nature of the "3-1" actual battle, acknowledging that it was an accident and affirming the positive side of the incident, which is impartial and very objective. At the same time, it also means that the higher-level leading organs have already determined the nature of this matter, and no one knows what the situation of the other parties is, but Li Zhan wants to commend him, not only to commend him, but also to commend him fiercely!

According to the general process of the commendation conference, Chen Hualin presided over the meeting, he spoke first, and then Vice Minister Liang, who was in charge of the investigation team, introduced the investigation and informed the results of the investigation and the decision on the reward and punishment of relevant personnel.

"There are serious problems in the work attitude of the No. 27 radar station, and the deputy station director Wang Dongyang was given a demerit, a collective serious warning, Qu Hongbo was demoted, and he was transferred from the No. 27 radar station; Give the commander of the Doyle battalion a warning and a collective notice of criticism; The troop chronicle column group will be given a collective third-class merit, the main direction cameraman will be given a second-class merit, and the column responsible reporter will be given a personal second-class merit......"

Everyone knows what to do with the No. 27 radar station and the Doyle camp in front of them, and it is very appropriate not to be serious or light, because there were no casualties and no damage to the equipment, otherwise it would have been more severe. Not to mention anything else, if Li Zhan is sacrificed or the fighter plane is scrapped, all the people directly related to the No. 27 radar station and the Doyle battalion from top to bottom will have to be dealt with.

Some people will think that the punishment given to Qu Hongbo, the main responsible person, is light, but in fact, from another direction, the punishment of demotion and demotion is very appropriate.

What is heavier than demotion and demotion is dismissal, and the most serious is expulsion from the military, so which punishment decision should be applied to the disciplinary order violated by Qu Hongbo?

Li Zhan encountered many major dangers when he was in the second division, the first time he hit a bird, he parachuted below a safe altitude and pulled a pole to save the people on the ground before ejecting, so he was recorded as a first-class merit, pay attention, he is alive. If he parachuted above a safe altitude and pulled the rod to save the people on the ground, but he died, it was definitely a first-class merit. If there is no sacrifice, then at most it is a second-class merit.

Briefly summarize the conditions for being awarded a first-class meritorious service: objectively if you will die after performing the meritorious service, you will be recorded as a first-class meritorious service.

Digression: Not long ago, there was a non-commissioned officer of the old First Group Army in the Eastern Theater who was awarded a first-class meritorious service, and he was living a good life.

Therefore, there is a saying that those who record first-class merit are basically hung on the wall, which shows how difficult it is to be honored with first-class merit.

On the other hand, if there were no casualties or equipment damage, then Qu Hongbo could not be dismissed from his post, and the conditions for dismissal from the military were not met. The most important thing is that the investigation shows that he is not selfish, but also to win glory for the collective, and the starting point is not wrong.

But what should I do if I am just demoted or demoted to a lighter position?

Leaders can be leaders that have real skills, both demoting and demoting, not heavy or light, especially appropriate!

To sum up, it can be seen that Li Zhan spent a lot of effort to save himself and the No. 037 fighter, and at the same time saved a large number of people. For that alone, he spilled out a great deal of life-saving grace.

What is surprising is that the military chronicle column group actually received a meritorious commendation.

Only a few people know that video materials exist, so many people don't understand them. Why did a military chronicle column group suddenly appear, and it was two people who recorded second-class merit and collective third-class merit!

That's a big reward!

If they knew that the cameraman who made a meritorious contribution had captured the overall picture and close-up details, and if they had known that the camera positions arranged by the reporter in charge had captured the scene in all directions, they would not have thought it was very abrupt.

Because of Li Zhan, the journalists who were shooting painless documentaries in various units all day long were smashed on the head by a big pie, and they were more confused than anyone else.

Especially the two who were awarded second-class meritorious service are both videographers and reporters. They just do a lifetime of chronicle films, and they don't have the opportunity to make second-class merits. The significance of the materials they inadvertently photographed far exceeded the standard for the award of second-class merit, and from this point of view, it was completely unexaggerated to record second-class merit.

So some people really can't stop their luck when they come.

Immediately, everyone quickly thought of a question - even the marginal inconsequential relationship characters have won second-class merits, so what kind of credit should Comrade Li Zhan, the central figure and absolute protagonist of all this, be credited with?

The special merit has long been canceled, so, the first-class merit?

Does it seem like the reward is lighter?

As to what reward to give to Li Zhan, the higher-level leading organs spent a week holding three meetings and holding full and heated discussions, and only then did they come up with a reward result that was approved by all sides.

Punishment has always been the most serious and prudent thing in the army, and the same is true for the evaluation of merit and awards.

After carefully studying Li Zhan's situation, many leaders found it very tricky—that kid actually had four first-class skills, one second-class skills, and two third-class skills! And also won the title of "Patriotic Army Elite Pacesetter" of the whole army!

That's going to be hard.

First of all, it is absolutely inappropriate to record a first-class meritorious service, and it can even be said that even if Li Zhan does nothing, at the end of the year or the end of next year, the army will make him an exemplary pacesetter or something. According to the regulations, two first-class merits constitute the conditions for evaluating a model pacesetter, and he has already won the title of a pacesetter, and he is a "pacesetter of the whole army loving the army and elite martial arts" with a high gold content, so he must be given a pacesetter or model title, then he must be given a higher honorary title than "the whole army loves the army and the elite military pacesetter".

It's plain stated!

If you give him another first-class merit, how can you give him an honorary title? At this point, no one will think that there is any obstacle to awarding Li Zhan a personal honorary title, the question is what kind of personal honorary title should be given to him?

The three first-class meritorious services are in line with the awarding of the title of first-class heroic model, so Li Zhan's contribution has directly promoted the development of the aviation units of the whole army and filled some gaps!

However, that's a first-class heroic model!

How many first-class heroes have appeared in the army during the non-war years? That's not comparable to the first-class heroes of the public security system!

It's not suitable, it's not appropriate to give first-class merit, but first-class merit is the highest reward medal. We can only start from the details, first of all, we must consider that it is conducive to Li Zhan's future development, he is still young after all. Therefore, after many studies and careful discussions, it was decided to give Li Zhanji a first-class merit, but this first-class merit was different from the previous four first-class merits.

Vice Minister Liang directly read out the reward given to Li Zhan, "Give Comrade Li Zhan a first-class meritorious service, and approve the organ as the supreme command." ”

When they heard the first half of the sentence, the officers and soldiers who knew that Li Zhan already had four first-class merits were disappointed, and the first-class merits really could not match Li Zhan's contribution and influence. After the second half of the sentence came out, everyone chewed it and slowly came back to the taste.

The key lies in the approving authority.

Li Zhan is a battalion-level cadre, and in accordance with the requirements of the award authority, the organs of the military region have the right to give him meritorious service and deliberately promote him to a higher level.

The above knows you, but now is not the time to give you higher rewards, you are still young and down-to-earth.

Veteran comrades like Xue Xiangdong even noticed a detail -- the higher-level leading organs did not confer on Li Zhan an individual honorary title, which shows that the above believes that Li Zhan is very likely to have more outstanding performances in the future, and at this time, awarding personal honorary titles according to the number of first-class meritorious services he has won is neither comprehensive nor to the highest gold content, in short, all aspects are considered out of love for Li Zhan, a young cadre.

On the other hand, three of Li Zhan's four first-class merits were awarded by the Air Force X Army organ to which the Second Division belonged, because he was a company-level cadre at that time, and the fourth was awarded by Guangkong in recognition of his outstanding performance in fighting floods in Sanhe, and he was already a deputy battalion cadre at that time.

Generally speaking, the higher the rank, the less opportunities for great merit, and the rewards of our army are sunk to the bottom, so you can see a large number of meritorious soldiers and grassroots cadres, but no one has ever seen a senior general who has made great contributions.

If a cadre or technical staff member who has reached the military level or above has made a first-class meritorious service, he or she will be personally awarded by the supreme commander at a special meeting on the 1st floor of the 81 th floor.

Therefore, after figuring out all the joints, everyone was convinced by the operation of the superiors, which not only took care of the actual situation, but also left more space for Li Zhan's future development.

After reading out the meritorious service order, Vice Minister Liang presented Li Zhan with an award, and then made a brief speech, and the conference ended without the slightest drag.

This is undoubtedly a reminder to the officers and soldiers - talk less and do more!
