"Comrades, I think that in this kind of collective action, the commander should not participate in the evaluation of merit at all, which can solve all the problems related to the evaluation of merit......

"The credit of the commander is the work of the comrades. If you participate in the evaluation, do you want to participate in the evaluation? He shared all the responsibilities first......"

"Grades determine the evaluation of commanders, and it should be the duty of commanders to make achievements. With the achievements, they are all the commanders, and the comrades below who have problems bear it together. One person is responsible for doing things, and whoever is responsible will be responsible, which is fair......"

The comrades stared at Gu Lu and watched the newly appointed political commissar of the regiment talking loudly about his thoughts there. It was quite a touch. What Gu Lu said was not very new, Chen Ke said something similar to these. But when Chen Ke said this, everyone listened, but they didn't hear it too much in their hearts. It's not that the comrades have any contempt for Chen Ke, but that this is really out of everyone's mind.

Chai Qingguo was also listening quietly, Gu Lu's words were very much in line with his appetite, the army is an organization that talks about rewarding merit and deeds, but the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army is not an army in the traditional sense, and the significance of this army is not the army of cadres at all levels, let alone Chen Ke's army. This army is the people's army, because every member of this army is a part of the broad masses of working people, and the purpose of the existence of this army is to defend the interests of the broad masses of working people, including the army.

If we look at it from this angle, the appraisal of cadres at all levels is very ridiculous. Being able to become a cadre at all levels is in itself an acknowledgment of his ability and merit, and it seems that there is no need to evaluate the merits of commanders alone. Therefore, Chai Qingguo quietly observed, and some people seemed to be completely unsuitable to continue to stay in the leadership position. They have been educated in all kinds of revolutionary ideology, and their present performance is entirely their own view of the revolution.

Many comrades also observed Chai Qingguo's expression, and this silence seemed to other comrades to be a silent opposition. At least many comrades regard this silence as a means of opposition in their hearts.

To be able to sit in this position, the hardship during this period is far beyond the ability of ordinary soldiers. These cadres sincerely believe that the new system is indeed much better than the old system, and everyone feels that the support and contribution of the common people to the army is very important. However, all the credit is given to the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level and to the common people, so how can the hard work of these middle and high-ranking cadres be calculated? Climbing to this position, is it just to write off the credit for one's own work? If we want to talk about equality, these comrades feel that this approach is very unequal. The previous situation was difficult, everyone can bear it, and now the hard days are finally over. Beiyang was beaten honestly, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was destroyed, the German devils were also beaten, and the other foreign devils are now very cooperative. At this point, I have to talk about everyone's contributions.

"Political Commissar Gu, why do I think your words are the same as rebellion." The first opponent jumped out. Everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Zhentao, commander of the 4406th Division. Zhou Zhentao's words are clear, that is, to completely oppose Gu Lu's proposition.

Gu Lu didn't expect that he was actually labeled as a rebel, and his heart couldn't help beating more intensely. "I ...... Whose rebellion is it? Gu Lu asked in astonishment.

"What are you talking about, who is leading whom?" Zhou Zhentao asked coldly, "Is this the comrade below the cadre leader, or the comrade leading the cadre above." Is there any rule to this? ”

Zhou Zhentao's words obviously received considerable support, and some comrades showed disapproving expressions on their faces. However, Chai Qingguo also found that the faces of many comrades, especially the political commissars, were quite uneasy, and the faces of several political commissars had become very dissatisfied.

Gu Lu frowned, "Rules? Comrades at the grassroots level learn how to arrange their own work, and cadres are promoted from among those comrades who have learned to arrange their own work, and they must not only arrange their own work well, but also be able to arrange the work of other comrades. Our goal is to accomplish the work set by the organization, and at worst, it is to emancipate the working people and let them be the masters of their own affairs. Leading cadres are also part of the working people, and you are trying to set the leading cadres and the working people against each other. ”

These words were sharp enough, Zhou Zhentao's face instantly became ugly, and he asked loudly: "Political Commissar Gu, what do you mean by this?" ”

Gu Lu was even more puzzled, and he asked, "What do I mean by this?" This is how the party has always been educated, and I will do whatever the party does to educate it. I will say what the party has education. ”

Seeing Zhou Zhentao and Gu Lu going toe-to-toe, Chai Qingguo wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh. As far as Chai Qingguo's understanding is concerned, Gu Lu is not wrong. It is true that in the theory of the people's revolution that the People's Party has been propagating, there is only the broad masses of the working people as the ruling class, and there is such a dichotomy among others. In the leadership and vanguard of the ruling class is the BJP.

In the BJP, or the new system led by Chen Ke, the criterion for determining an individual's social status is simply labor. If you look at it from this point of view, Gu Lu is not only right, but firmly grasps the core points of the political program of the People's Party. The existence of a comrade like Gu Lu was really an eye-opener for Chai Qingguo.

Zhou Zhentao and Chai Qingguo thought differently, and he said coldly: "Comrade Gu Lu, you are distorting the party's theory. We must have discipline like steel, and the Party has repeatedly stressed this. What kind of discipline is that, you say? ”

"The Party emphasizes that discipline is to do the work better, rather than setting a discipline and making the work obey discipline. Master Zhou, what you said is not discipline, what you are talking about is just the rules you want. Gu Lu is still-for-tat.

Pang Zi watched the two comrades arguing fiercely, and he found himself in a complete dilemma. From the bottom of his heart, Pang Zi supports Zhou Zhentao. But what Gu Lu said and Wu Xingchen usually like to say are very imaginary. As if it was a habit, Pang Zi felt that he should support a position similar to Wu Xingchen's. On weekdays, Pang Zi argues with Wu Xingchen a lot, and the reason for the dispute is that Wu Xingchen has not been able to follow Pang Zi's ideas in many places. But in all fairness, Pang Zi thought that he was willing to listen to Wu Xingchen's words.

looked at Chai Qingguo's expression carefully, and saw that although it was still that expressionless face. However, based on Pang Zi's understanding of Chai Qingguo, Chai Qingguo wanted this controversy to continue. Who should we support? Pang Zi felt distressed.

The debate was interrupted by Yang Deshui, political commissar of the 4406th Division, before it was completely carried out, "This time we are talking about the issue of merit evaluation, why did we go off topic and talk about discipline?" ”

This is clearly a statement to calm the situation, but Chai Qingguo has no intention of calming the situation, "I think this discussion is very reasonable." In the end, who leads whom, and what is being evaluated in the evaluation. If you don't understand this, will this kind of controversy happen again in the future? If this matter can be discussed clearly, many things can be solved at the root. Everyone goes on. ”

Yang Deshui was the political commissar of the division, and he was more sensitive than Zhou Zhentao in terms of theory. When Gu Lu mentioned who was in charge, he knew that Zhou Zhentao had lost the upper hand. In the political philosophy of the BJP, although the BJP is the vanguard of the ruling class in the base areas, it is not the ruler of the base areas. Regardless of the practical problems, theoretically the power in the base areas belongs to the broad masses of working people. In the troops, cadres also do not have special powers. Chen Ke took a clear-cut stand against the idea of constructing a power system based on the status of cadres at all levels. Although this idea is a tradition for thousands of years.

At this time, Yang Deshui couldn't let this kind of argument continue, after all, he was in the same division as Zhou Zhentao. Lu Kaiwen learned from the past, because he agreed to Lu Kaiwen's arrangement, the political commissar of the regiment was also removed from his post and investigated. If Zhou Zhentao made a big mistake in political thinking, Yang Deshui's fate would not be much better. "Commander-in-Chief Chai, this is not the arrangement of our meeting. I think let's solve the specific problem at hand first. Chairman Chen also said that the specific problems will be analyzed in detail. What Comrade Gu Lu said is reasonable, we evaluate merit based on labor. Since the 44072 regiment has achieved very good results, there is no reason for us to exclude them from the collective evaluation. Collective merit is collective merit, and it is these grassroots comrades who account for the majority of the collective. However, in terms of party organization construction, the 44072 regiment can also participate in the assessment. Merit is merit, and excess, and this cannot be confused. ”

Zhou Zhentao was able to become the master of the master, and it was definitely not given for nothing. Although he wasn't sure what was wrong with him, as soon as political commissar Yang Deshui said this, he held back his anger and sat back in his position. Even if it is not to give Gu Lu face, he has to give political commissar Yang Deshui a face.

"What do you think?" Although Chai Qingguo felt extremely regretful, his job was to preside over the party meeting, not to provoke controversy meaninglessly. Although he was extremely dissatisfied with Zhou Zhentao in his heart, Chai Qingguo must not tempt Zhou Zhentao to say "counter-revolutionary" words. That's a different question.

Gu Lu's purpose was not to brand Zhou Zhentao as a counter-revolutionary, he just wanted to make it clear, since Yang Deshui had already put forward his opinions, Gu Lu did not think of chasing him to the end. That is to say, in the future, the merits of the meritorious troops and the building of the party organization will be evaluated separately? Does a good job in the work of the troops mean that the organization and building of the troops are done well? ”

Zhou Zhentao originally suppressed his dissatisfaction and fell silent. Not to mention the anger in my heart, I was forced by a regimental political commissar to the point that I had to shut up, and even the division political commissar was forced to adopt a compromise posture, a situation that Zhou Zhentao never imagined. In Zhou Zhentao's opinion, the eyes of many people around him were full of ridicule. Seeing that Gu Lu not only did not accept it when he saw it, but "competed" with Yang Deshui, the political commissar of the division, Zhou Zhentao stood up vigorously, "The organizational construction in the army has not been able to do a good job, but the merits of the army have gone up, what does this mean?" Do you want to prove that the organization doesn't work? Discipline doesn't work? ”

As soon as this question was raised, Yang Deshui's face became not very good-looking. He was very unhappy with Zhou Zhentao, the things discussed just now were just perfunctory, far from the past. And even if he was in the same division as Zhou Zhentao, Yang Deshui did not support Zhou Zhentao's views, but he couldn't argue with Zhou Zhentao in public at the meeting for the sake of face. Now Zhou Zhentao is involved in new arguments, and he is clearly coming with resentment. This is not a good thing, and if this discussion proves that Zhou Zhentao's idea is wrong, this is a real ideological error.

Chai Qingguo couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, he had asked Chen Ke about this matter, what kind of argument would become. Chen Ke's answer surprised Chai Qingguo, "If the argument is a horizontal argument, it will all come down to two points, science and democracy." Science is concerned with the material nature of the world. Democracy is about the interests of the class to which it belongs. There are individuals who betray the class, but there is never a class that betrays interests. ”

The question raised by Zhou Zhentao seems to be angry talk, but it is actually a real problem. When a few high-ranking cadres in the regiment have problems, what can be proved by the excellent performance of the entire regiment? When Zhou Zhentao raised this question, Chai Qingguo had already found the answer. This made Chai Qingguo feel that his heart was clear for a while, and his mood became better.

Pang Zi saw Chai Qingguo smile, and he felt very surprised. The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn, and the argument was-for-tat, although Pang Zi actually didn't fully understand the focus of the argument, but he knew that he thought that he was the commander of the division, and the comrades below had to obey Pang Zi's orders. However, Pang Zi can also feel that things are far from being as simple as he thought. Seeing Chai Qingguo actually smiling again, he felt a great puzzlement. Pang Zi couldn't help but ask, "Chief Commander Chai, what are you laughing at?" ”

After Pang Zi reminded him of this, everyone looked at Chai Qingguo. Sure enough, the smile on Chai Qingguo's face had not faded. Chai Qingguo didn't hide it either, "Comrades, I suddenly understood a problem in this discussion. Chairman Chen talked about science and democracy. Science is the way it works. Regiment Commander Lu has certainly done a good job in popularizing work methods, so their regiment has achieved great results in its work. Similarly, in terms of democracy, Commander Lu definitely did not do a good job. If he held a democratic meeting of the whole regiment and told his comrades that he wanted to ask for merit and reward, do you think the comrades of the whole regiment would support him? ”

When Chai Qingguo said this, Pang Zi understood, but he didn't expect Lu Kaiwen to get quite a high evaluation after being removed, Pang Zi was jealous, and he couldn't help but say: "This may not be." If all the comrades of the regiment think that they can show their faces in front of Chairman Chen, and if they show their faces, they will get more good evaluations, they are afraid and will not oppose it. ”

There was a burst of laughter among the comrades, and Pang Zi's words were indeed very vivid. If Lu Kaiwen can prove to the comrades of the whole regiment that this kind of performance can be successful, I am afraid that he will really be able to get the support of the whole regiment.

"Therefore, we will remove Comrade Lu Kaiwen and others from their posts and investigate them. The party organization asked him to lead like this, and openly deceived and asked for merit and rewards, what is this for? Chai Qingguo said with a smile.

Pang Zi was slightly stunned when he heard this, he still felt a little too blunt about Lu Kaiwen and the others being dealt with so harshly, and even wondered if this was done to pave the way for Gu Lu. After Chai Qingguo said this, Pang Zi suddenly really felt that Lu Kaiwen and the others really deserved it. If this kind of head is opened, other troops will work hard and will not be able to withstand some deception. It's really not fair. Pang Zi's cavalry division was smaller than other infantry divisions, and he had a headache about evaluating merit. With this thought, the hostility in his gaze when he looked at Gu Lu greatly decreased.

"I have one more question if that is said. The number of our cavalry division is small, how should we evaluate the merits? Since it must be fair, it must be equally fair to the comrades of the cavalry division." Pang Zi said loudly.
