The issue of joining the party has always been a hot topic of concern among officers and men in the army. If you have been a soldier for a few years and are not even party members, then you will have no face to see people when you go home after leaving the army, and every year the company will make a lot of noise about joining the party. Last year, Sun Jiashu had already written two applications for joining the party, but there was no precedent for a new recruit to join the party, and the company only trained him as a probationary party member. After returning from Beijing this time, Sun Jiashu wrote another application for joining the party, expressing his strong desire to join the party, and in view of Sun Jiashu's special contribution to the company, the company decided to put him as a candidate for probationary party membership at the branch meeting for discussion.

The instructor is the secretary of the company branch, the company commander is the deputy secretary, the deputy company commander, the secretary general and the four platoon commanders are members of the branch, and there is also one member of the soldier committee, who is Comrade Li Xiwa, who has served for two years beyond the time limit.

Sun Jiashu has only been in the army for more than a year, and although he has performed well, the number of places to join the party is limited. If you talk about qualifications, you can only talk about him next year. Now studying the issue of his joining the party has naturally caused quite a stir in the whole company.

The branch meeting is naturally presided over by the instructor, and the company commander is usually let by the family, and the soldiers of the company are obviously currying favor with the company commander, and he, the instructor, has obviously become the second leader.

"Comrades, this quarter the regiment party committee gave our regiment three indicators for joining the party, I had a preliminary meeting with the company commander, and the active request to join the party of several comrades for all-round comparison and screening, a total of four qualified soldiers, they are the third squad leader Comrade Li Yao, the fourth squad leader Comrade Sun Jiashu, the fifth squad leader Comrade Zhang Chunwang, the sixth squad leader Comrade Wang Shuifa, the third squad leader and the fifth squad leader are the old comrades who have served beyond the time limit, there is no hard work and hard work, the tradition of our company is to let the old comrades who have served beyond the time limit join the party, Don't discuss the issue of the two of them joining the party, let's mainly discuss the question of who will join the party among the four squad leaders and the six squad leaders, I will first talk about my personal opinion: veterans are the backbone of our company, and the six squad leaders are veterans who will be discharged this year, I think it is more appropriate for him to join the party, he represents the interests of veterans, let him improve the training enthusiasm of veterans, and give full play to their residual heat, and Sun Jiashu has only been a soldier for more than a year, and he has been in the army for a long time, and it is a matter of time before he joins the party. The veterans must have opinions, which will inevitably affect the unity of the whole company, let's see if it is better to set the sixth squad leader. As soon as the instructor's voice fell, a few committee members, you look at me, I will look at him, because the company commander has not yet spoken, and none of the committee members will steal the limelight.

The company commander said: "Just now the instructor expressed his personal opinion, as the deputy secretary of the branch, I also expressed my opinion, we determine the standard of probationary party members is training and ideology, the sixth squad leader is qualified, the fourth squad leader is also qualified, but we have to choose one among them, I think it is necessary to set according to these two standards, that is, to select a better one, Sun Jiashu is the top training in the regiment, and he is registered in the whole division, and he made a second-class meritorious service last year, and this year he went to Beijing to report the performance. The influence in the whole company should be ranked first, and it is well-deserved to designate Sun Jiashu as a reserve member; if we talk about seniority, letting the sixth squad leader join the party will certainly dampen the training enthusiasm of the soldiers of the whole company and affect the training results of the entire company. ”

As soon as the company commander's voice fell, the entire conference room began to be lively, obviously divided into two factions, temporarily called the instructor faction and the company commander faction, the second platoon commander, the third platoon commander, and the secretary general obviously belonged to the instructor faction, and the deputy company commander, the first platoon commander, and the fourth platoon commander belonged to the company commander faction. Only Li Xiwa sat there without saying a word, 7 of the 9 branch members of the company are cadres, and the other is the secretary general, although he is a volunteer, his qualifications are older than the company commander, so it can be said that Li Xiwa has no chance of interjecting at all.

The company commander saw that Li Xiwa wanted to speak and stopped, and knew that he wanted to express his opinion, so he said: "Everyone be quiet, let Comrade Li Xiwa make a speech, he is Sun Jiashu's recruit squad leader, and he should know Sun Jiashu best, and as a member of the soldier branch of the whole company, his speech should be the most revealing." Now I would like to ask the squad leader to share his views on this matter. ”

Li Xiwa excused herself and said: "It's still the leaders who have ideas, and I will only talk about my own opinions." Sun Jiashu is the best soldier in the company. Since you are excellent, you should join the party, there is no doubt about this. However, there is still a significant part of the veterans facing discharge who have not solved organizational problems. Once discharged from the army and returned home, it will be difficult to join the party again, many places use whether to join the party or not to measure the good and bad work of the soldiers in the army, I know that at this time the veterans are dying to save face, so I think it is most appropriate to let the sixth squad leader join the party. ”

The company commander looked at the squad leader with dissatisfaction, he originally thought that Sun Jiashu was a soldier led by the squad leader, and if Sun Jiashu joined the party, he would also have a light on his face as a squad leader, but he did not expect Li Xiwa to stand on the other side's position, although his speech could not play a decisive role, but it changed the balance of power between the two factions. The issue of joining the party must be democratically appraised and can only take effect through a show of hands, and the result is needless to say, Sun Jiashu passed by joining the party, and if he wants to join the party, he can only wait for the next batch.

The news soon reached Sun Jiashu's ears, and some people hinted that Li Xiwa had secretly hacked him, but he smiled indifferently: "The first squad leader is correct, the sixth squad leader is doing a good job, how can he do it if he doesn't join the party before he retires?" I failed to join the party this time, because I am still some distance away from the party organization, and I will continue to work hard and strive to join the party organization as soon as possible. ”
