"Our railroad sleepers are sinking too much, the soil is soft, and the groundwater is being pumped all the time, so the rails often have the problem of tilting."

"The transportation of the project, especially the flat poles and bamboo baskets, is in short supply. And the flat pole is not as good as the wooden bar. ”

"There are many problems of people stealing engineering supplies, and we don't have enough people to take care of the tools."

"There were a lot of bones dug out of the swamp, and the people were scared."

……

……

Director Zhang of the Engineering Planning Office babbled to Chen Ke about various problems. Chen Ke didn't nod his head, nor did he say anything. This kind of "little bureaucrat" personality, that is, not responsible, when encountering problems, the first thought is to shirk responsibility, Chen Ke feels very kind, he himself used to be such a bastard. And Chen Ke firmly believes that a sentence seems to be what a psychologist said, "When we really gaze at ourselves, we will find that all the dirty evil deeds that we hate are actually our own characteristics." ”

As long as there is a guy like Director Zhang who seems to be able to see the problem, but is unwilling to solve the problem, an organization will definitely not be harmonious. No matter what kind of personal characteristics Chai Qingguo has, he is essentially a comrade who dares to act. Chen Ke can fully understand his dissatisfaction with Director Zhang.

Just when Chen Ke was thinking about these organizational construction issues, he heard Director Zhang ask, "Chairman Chen, what do you think?" ”

Chen Ke almost blurted out, "I want to remove you." He had to reach out and rub his eyes before he could barely resist the urge. You can't talk at this time, and if you meet a villain, the best way is not to speak. Even if you don't speak, they can still arrange a lot of things for you, and as long as you speak, no matter what you say, you will fall into the trap of these people. Chen Ke didn't want to forcibly remove people like Director Zhang, and what he was afraid of was to engage in free heart testimony for such a thing as an organizational system. And the proportion of villains like Director Zhang is very large, and it can be said that they are endless. If you kill such a Director Zhang, then ten Director Zhang can pop up. And they will be more cunning and more stealthy. For people like Director Zhang, we can only rely on management to subdue them, and rely on education to try to make them pay attention to labor itself.

Seeing that Chen Ke was silent, Director Zhang also fell silent. Villains have an advantage, at least until they have a clear purpose, they still know how to advance and retreat. Chen Ke also worked hard to adjust his mentality, but Director Zhang is also a colleague who works together, and he must rely on the strength of the organization to restrain them, rather than relying on his position to forcibly attack these people.

At this moment, Chen Ke heard Director Zhang ask: "Chairman Chen, some people say that the organization is ready to arrange Comrade Gu Lu to be the political commissar of the Engineering Academy?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Ke couldn't help but stop even if he tried hard to be able to deal with the problem calmly. Chen Ke could feel the muscles on his face stiffen with anger, and an uncontrollable anger rose in his chest.

Hold back, hold back, don't be preconceived! Chen Ke said to himself repeatedly in his heart. The promotion of the People's Party must be publicized, and the process of promoting Gu Lu this time does have a great "luck" flavor. Director Zhang is a member of the party, and he has the power to discuss this issue. Even so, it took Chen Ke more than half a cent to suppress the great unhappiness in his heart.

"The issue of the use of Comrade Gu Lu must be discussed by the party committee. What are we two talking about here? Chen Ke said to Director Zhang with a smile. Chen Ke looked quite embarrassed when he saw Director Zhang's face, which was a mixture of fear and unwillingness. Despite this, Director Zhang still said tentatively: "Chairman Chen, I have always firmly supported the establishment of the engineering corps. After so long in logistics, I think that if we do not form a special unit, the efficiency of this project will not improve. If there is to be an engineering unit organizationally, I would like to be considered. ”

Hearing this, Chen Ke didn't say anything, but continued to stride forward. Gu Lu is a candidate with a strong recommendation behind him, and this first batch of young comrades who came out of Dabie Mountain is only 21 years old this year. But there are already ups and downs on the resume.

Gu Lu performed quite well in the battle of Nanjing, and fought bravely in the first line. The army popularized education, Gu Lu has no fame, and he knows hundreds of words and abacus. He was soon promoted to a company cultural instructor, and he was one of the first soldiers to receive a primary school diploma in the army's academic examinations. What should have been a smooth sailing future was not necessarily so smooth. As a "key training object" registered in the organization. Because of his obedience to discipline, Gu Lu received political training in the post of cultural instructor in the company, and then was arranged to work as a cultural instructor and logistics staff in the newly formed platoon, and as a result, he worked for two and a half years, from which platoon was transferred to which platoon, and from that platoon to another new platoon. The cadres who were at the same time as him, in 1911, there were many people who were promoted to regiment commanders, and Gu Lu's eldest brother also became the battalion commander. And Gu Lu has always been just an excellent platoon cultural instructor and logistics staff who is well-known in the whole army.

It's not that anyone wants to deliberately make things difficult for Gu Lu, the logistics personnel in the army and the personnel in charge of finances in the local civil affairs department have always been the key targets of the people's internal affairs committee, and they are also the group of people who have been removed and executed in the highest proportion. No matter what the cadres say at the meeting, don't stretch out your hand, you will be arrested if you stretch out your hand. But it's always hard to overcome that impulse. The BJP does not have the harsh tests that the party has experienced in history, so even with the supervision of the soldiers' commissars, those who like to take advantage of small advantages still follow one after another.

Gu Lu's luck with this idea seems to be extremely bad, and several successive higher-level quartermaster cadres have had problems, and as their subordinates, it is naturally impossible to be promoted. However, this kind of fate has a bit of a "Seeong loses his horse and knows whether he is a blessing".

The first person to strongly recommend Gu Lu to Chen Ke was not the army, but Qi Huishen, the big man behind the back of the People's Internal Affairs Committee. Chen Ke still remembers Qi Huishen's letter, "Recently, we checked the case file and found that Comrade Gu Lu's name appeared many times, and after our investigation, Comrade Gu Lu himself has never had any problems. This is indeed a very rare case. Originally, I wanted to keep Comrade Gu Lu to myself, but seeing that you have been shouting that there is no capable engineer recently, I recommend him to you. As far as I can tell Comrade Gu Lu, Comrade Gu Lu has an excellent personality and has performed well at the grassroots level. But it turns out that too rapid promotion of positions can lead to tragedy most of the time. Therefore, I wish Chairman Chen can make good use of Comrade Gu Lu and let him grow faster and healthier under your direct leadership. ”

This world has always been easy to find by thousands of troops, as far as the current situation of the People's Party is concerned, it is a vegetable to be stripped into the basket, even if Gu Lu can't resist the temptation and deteriorate in the future, it will be a matter of the future. At present, it is natural that comrades like Gu Lu cannot be let go. Unexpectedly, as soon as the order went down, Zhang Yu, the secretary of the status of southern Anhui, immediately pushed it back, "I also value Comrade Gu Lu very much, and I hope that Comrade Gu Lu will be left behind in the organization." ”

No matter what Zhang Yu thinks, Zhang Yu is not a cadre in the army after all. Taking the organizational and administrative line, Gu Lu was first promoted to company instructor, and then was transferred to the Preparatory Committee of the Xuzhou Engineering Command College of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army as an officer. Gu Lu arrived at the small courtyard where the preparatory committee of the Xuzhou Engineer Command College was located, and without even opening the luggage package, he was directly dragged to the construction site as an engineering liaison staff officer.

Organizational operations are like this, "Say you can do it, you can do it, say you can't do it, you can't." Chen Ke did not finalize the specific use of Gu Lu in the future, but he didn't expect that the eyes of the masses were bright, and some people had already clearly seen the importance of Gu Lu in the organization. Moreover, we have clearly seen the inevitability of preparing for the establishment of the Engineer Corps Command College. Chen Keming knew that he should continue to inspect the construction site at this time, but he felt that there were some things that had to be discussed with the Military Commission, and in this matter, Chen Ke had indeed gone too far.

The meeting of the Military Commission of the Shandong Military Region was held very quickly, and in fact, most of the members of the Military Commission, except for Pu Guanshui and others in Qingdao, gathered in Xuzhou.

"Last time I mentioned that two new branches of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army would be added to the ranks of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, the engineering corps and the railway corps, but we have not met to discuss this matter since then. This meeting will be devoted to this issue. Chen Ke said bluntly. As Chen Ke expected, the comrades were not surprised. Everyone looked at Chen Ke in silence, waiting for him to continue to talk about this question.

"I think some comrades should have heard that I am suspected of being promoted by Gu Lu, a young comrade. I admit that I have the intention of hoping that Gu Lu, a young comrade, will take on important work. However, the use of cadres must ultimately be discussed by the party committee. I hope to discuss this matter in the Military Commission before it gets into trouble. ”

The cadres of the Military Commission of the Shandong Military Region looked at each other a few times, but no one spoke. In the Party Central Committee and the Military Commission, Chen Ke has the highest personnel decision-making power, that is to say, Chen Ke has the power to appoint and dismiss cadres. Until now, no one has felt that there is anything wrong with this permission. At least no one is prepared to object to Chen's power in this regard.

Wu Xingchen is the commander of the Shandong Military Region, and his comrades are silent, but he can't help but keep quiet. The rumors about Gu Lu had not yet reached Wu Xingchen, and he asked: "How is this Comrade Gu Lu's work ability, and who are his superior cadres?" ”

Chai Qingguo replied: "Comrade Gu Lu is my liaison staff officer. I have a good impression of him, a very good comrade except that he has not been burdened with great responsibilities. In my opinion, with his current ability, if he doesn't fight, he will have no problem being a regiment commander. ”

This is quite "subtle". Chen Ke didn't say anything, but ordered someone to bring Gu Lu's file to the cadres of the Military Commission to see. Wu Xingchen is okay, at least he is still expressionless after reading it. Many other cadres, such as Pang Zi, frowned slightly.

Gu Lu has so far held the highest position as an instructor. And everyone can see that in fact, he has always been a platoon culture instructor, at most equivalent to a platoon commander. And now the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army has the size of a group army. Once the engineering corps and the railway corps are completed, they will at least be at the level of the group army. Such a small platoon commander should be involved in such a big change, which can only be described as appalling.

"What is the difference between an engineer and an engineer?" Chen Tianhua asked. As the head of the Political Department, he has the right to participate in the meetings of the Military Commission.

"Sappers are combat units. The engineering corps is a construction force. When there is a war, it is the combat troops who go to the battlefield. Chai Qingguo gave the answer.

After Chen Tianhua understood the difference between the two, he stopped talking. There was an eerie silence in the room.

At a time when the system of various departments of the People's Party is gradually being perfected, the new formation of the armed forces is a major event. It's not just about pulling out a few people and opening a few new units. Instead, a completely new "mountain" was created. With such rapid development in the base areas, there may be only a few thousand engineers this year, but next year it may become a large department of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. Being able to take up a position in such a newly established department means that the position is extremely fast. That's the big deal.

Wu Xingchen broke the silence again, "Chairman Chen, I want to ask, why do you have such a green eye for Comrade Gu Lu. Why do you want to give him such a big chance. Why do you believe that this comrade will be able to do this job well? ”

"Because Comrade Gu Lu has been wronged. After being wronged, there was never a word of complaint. Chen Ke replied. The organization of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs is the sword of the Party. According to historical records, the Internal Affairs Committee of the Soviet Union carried out at least three internal purges, and even the gatekeepers changed a few times. Although the People's Internal Affairs Committee of the People's Party is not so strict, its internal investigation and work supervision and inspection are also extremely strict. More than 60 percent of the former members could not stand this grievance and left the People's House Councilor.

However, this kind of grievance is necessary, that is, only when it is strict to the point of almost "nitpicking" can a capable contingent be selected and this group of comrades can realize the seriousness and importance of their work. Chen Ke conducted experiments, and once he just didn't bring a pass, and the result was that he couldn't enter the door of the People's Internal Affairs Committee.

Chen Ke wrote an order on the spot allowing himself to temporarily enter the Internal Affairs Committee, and according to the regulations, asked the accompanying cadres of the Political Security Department to sign it, so that he could enter the Internal Affairs Committee. After another while, when Chen Ke ordered someone to check the file, he found that his warrant had been officially archived. And in the whole thing, no one came to apologize to Chen Ke. This made Chen Ke very satisfied. Without this kind of steely discipline, it would never have worked.

After the investigation of the People's Internal Affairs Committee, even if he was wronged, Comrade Gu Lu always had no complaints and worked in a down-to-earth manner. Although Chen Ke adheres to the political view that everyone is equal, this does not mean that Chen Ke believes that all people are born the same. Some people seem to be born with extremely excellent qualities in some aspects, and people like Gu Lu, Chen Ke knows that they have existed in the party's revolutionary ranks in history. In real life, Chen Ke has also seen it. It is indeed a talent that can be made. This is the reason why Chen Ke wants to promote Gu Lu.

Hearing the words "can be wronged", the eyes of many cadres fell on Wu Xingchen, and so far, Wu Xingchen is a senior cadre who has "really been wronged". Wu Xingchen just avoided the eyes of his comrades, but did not answer.

It was Chai Qingguo who broke the silence, "Chairman Chen, I think Comrade Gu Lu can be promoted to a regiment-level position first. I think it's time to give a battalion position. Recently, many people want to go to the engineering corps, and as far as I can see, they obviously can't stand the heavy work at the moment and want to go to the engineering command academy to escape their work. Personally, I like Comrade Gu Lu very much, and I have also read his information, which is very remarkable. Without me, I really can't be better than him. But I have a doubt, now I can suppress these comrades who are not willing to work honestly. Is Comrade Gu Lu okay? In his information, I see that Comrade Gu Lu can control himself, but I can't see if he can fight against these unhealthy tendencies. ”

This is indeed a very serious accusation, and after listening to Chai Qingguo's words, many comrades couldn't help but nod slightly.
